Q/A – Swing Trading with Volume Profile Webinar

Q/A – Swing Trading with Volume Profile Webinar

A few days back we ran a webinar with NinjaTrader called Swing Trading With Volume Profile. The duration of the webinar was limited, so I didn’t have time for a Q/E section, but we did receive many really good questions posted in the chat, and later in my email. I decided to answer the most interesting ones here publicly, so you can also benefit and more importantly learn from them. Here we go!
Q: I’m wondering what more I will gain from your Forex Course that I haven’t learned from your book?
The main advantage of the course is that you see how I apply my trading methods on real markets in current trading conditions every day. The application is very important and this is how you can really accelerate your learning process.
Q: Do you trade reversing in the Swing trade or just intraday?
I do reversals only for intraday but it is not a bad idea to try them on swings too. However, before doing so, there must be some research on the levels and how reversals perform on swings.

Q: Are Flexible & Fixed Volume Profile one product or two?
Flexible Volume Profile and Fixed Volume Profile are two products but they are both part of Volume Profile Pack.
There is a free 5-day trial. Just download and install the pack, and it will run 5 days for free.
You can download installer and instructions here: Volume Profile Pack installer

Q: I would like to understand the differences between the two (Flexible and Fixed Volume Profile)..  and mostly will it improve my trading?
Best way to demonstrate the differences would be if you watched those two videos:
Every market is controlled and manipulated by big financial institutions. Volume Profile helps you to track actions of those institutions. I think it is absolutely essential to know what they are doing because they are the main force in the markets. In fact, I don’t really think anybody can be profitable without knowing what those institutions are up to.

Q: How do I access the free trial of the Volume Profile indicator? I have navigated to the Volume Profile page but haven’t seen the free trial.
Just download it and install it. That’s it. No need for any authorization or anything like it. It will work for 5 days from the moment you have installed it.
Also please read the instructions to learn how to use the profile and how to adjust your settings for the best performance.
Instructions are here: Volume Profile Pack – Quick guide

Q: I don’t know much about NinjaTrader. Can I use the NinjaTrader for free chart analysis lifetime or do I need to buy any subscription later?
NT is a free charting platform. No need to purchase it (or data). All is for free. Also you can use it for charting only and then you can trade with your current broker.
There is an article with info and links which you may find useful here:
Ninja Trader 8 – Tips, Links

Q: If I buy only Forex course and buy MT4 indicator will I be then able to apply your techniques properly in Forex?
Yes, you will. My advice would be to get the Webinar Special Sale because this way you get the NinjaTrader 8 Volume Profile pack, which is way more advanced than the MT4 Volume Profile indicator.
Q: I usually trade with Price Action, will this hamper my trading techniques?
Volume Profile is a great addition to Price Action. I show this in detail in my book:
VOLUME PROFILE: The Insider’s Guide To Trading

Q: How would I scan for applicable setups? You can theoretically review all of the major forex pairs daily, but that would not be possible for stocks.
I would pick only a few stocks so you aren’t too overwhelmed. Pick big company stocks you feel comfortable with. Or, you can trade stock indices. Those work really well with Volume Profile!

Q: Do you think Value area is not useful? Because it seems like you don’t use it and even your indicator doesn’t include the function.

I have never really found it useful. That’s why it is not a part of my indicator.

Q: Do you have to have NT’s Order Flow package for your VP indicator(s) to work?
No, you don’t need to buy NT package. Just get their NT platform (for free) and use my Volume Profile Pack with it.
In the end, I would really like to thank you for the kind and positive feedback and messages I received after the webinar. Thanks so much, guys, it means a lot to me!
Happy trading,
-Dale

Bitcoin is Dropping Hard! Here’s Where Smart Money Will Buy Again

Video Transcript: Hello everyone, it’s Dale here. In today’s video, I’d like to talk about Bitcoin. The reason is that Bitcoin has been dropping like crazy, and a lot of traders are wondering where Bitcoin will go and what to expect. If I look at the chart and use Volume Profile, I would say that it’s pretty straightforward because Volume Profile very clearly shows the strongest support and resistance levels. So, let’s take a look at the chart, and let me show you. What you see before you is the daily chart of Bitcoin. This is the big picture, and as you can see, from the all-time high here, Bitcoin experienced quite a significant sell-off and is currently dropping. Right now, I don’t really see any strong support that would stand in the way of this strong sell-off. Let me use Volume Profile and show you what could actually stop the sell-off of Bitcoin. All right, so what I’m going to do is apply Volume Profile over this whole area to see the volume distribution. As you can see, there ...

Quick In & Out Trade on USD/JPY – Smart Money Concepts & Volume Profile

Video Transcript: Hello everyone, it’s Dale here. Welcome to the next video of the new series, where I’ll talk about my recent trades. Today’s trade is on the  USD/JPY . It was a very quick in-and-out trade, so let’s check it out. What you see before you is the 30-minute chart of the  USD/JPY , and the level I was trading from was this short level at  149.63 . The reasoning behind this level—let me zoom in a little so you can see this better—was the volumes that formed here. From this place, there was a sharp sell-off. Even though the volumes do not particularly stand out, what’s important is that from this zone, there was a strong sell-off. There was also a  Fair Value Gap . My software highlights that, but when the gap is filled, it’s not highlighted anymore. If I mark it for you, this was the Fair Value Gap, which is a setup from Smart Money Concepts. I like to trade from the beginning of the Fair Value Gap, which is here. This is also the beginning of a heavy vol...

ORDER FLOW: How to Trade the Absorption Setup (Trade Entry Confirmation)

Video Transcript: Hello everyone, and in this video, I’d like to talk about order flow and one of my favorite confirmation setups in order flow. The confirmation setup is called the absorption, and I’ll show you an example of a trade I made a couple of days ago. I think this is the perfect example of how you can use the absorption setup to confirm your trade entry. So, let’s take a look at it. First, let me start by showing you the level I wanted to trade, and then I’ll show you the absorption setup. You’re looking at the  EUR/USD  30-minute chart, and I had a long level here, marked by this line. This was a long level based on a Volume Profile setup, focusing on those heavy volumes formed within this important rejection. So, this was the long level. What happened was that the price started to go into a sudden sell-off, and there wasn’t really any strong macro news behind this. I wasn’t really sure what was going on, but there was this sudden sell-off, this spike move. Because...
