How To Trade The Double Distribution Profile – Volume Profile Trading

 

How To Trade The Double Distribution Profile – Volume Profile Trading

Trader Dale - Free Book

Volume Profile histogram has a few basic shapes it can develop into. Their names are based on their looks. We have the “b-shaped profile” which is shaped like a letter “b”, we have a “D-shaped profile”, which looks like the capital letter D, there is also the “p-shaped profile” which looks like the letter “p”, etc…

I talked more in detail about those in the Volume Profile For Beginners Guide.

Today, I would like to talk about the “Double-distribution” profile.

The main feature of this profile shape is that it has two significant volume areas. One at the top, and one at the bottom. Like in the picture below:

“Double distribution” → “D-shaped” profile

The “Double-distribution” profile very often turns into a “D-shaped” profile. This means that the thin Volume area which is in between of the two heavy volume areas gets filled with volumes.

In order for this to happen, the price needs to react to the two heavy volume areas and bounce off them inwards – towards the center of the “Double-distribution” profile.

The price has a tendency to stay in that center. This is when the heavy volumes get placed there and the “Double-distribution” starts to turn into a “D-shaped profile”. Like here:

How to profit on the “Double-distribution” profile?

Since the “Double-distribution” tends to transform into “D-shaped” profile, the two heavy volume areas at the top and at the bottom work as Support and Resistance zones. From there the price tends to go inwards towards the center.

That’s how you  trade the “Double-distribution” Volume Profile shape: Short from the upper volume zone, and Long from the lower volume zone. Like this:

VIDEO: “Double-distribution” Volume Profile

I had two trading levels on the USD/JPY a few days ago – they were both based on this logic. One was a short from 106.27 and the second one was a long from 105.94.

I published both of those levels in my Members’ area in advance and I also commented on them in my regular Daily levels video.

Below, you can watch the part of the video, where I was talking about the “Double-distribution” profile and about those two trading levels.

Here is how the price developed after the prediction:

*In this picture I used my Flexible Volume Profile just on the area which was there at the time of my prediction.

As you can see, the price was reacting nicely to the heavy volume zones in the “Double-distribution” profile and was rotating around the center of this area. This slowly turned the “Double-distribution” profile into a “D-shaped” profile:

*In this picture I used my Flexible Volume Profile on the whole area which formed after the reactions to Resistance and Supports and after the “Double-distribution” profile transformed into a “D-shaped” profile.

What you see before you is the chart from NinjaTrader 8 platform with my custom-made Volume Profile and VWAP indicators. This is the chart of  EUR/USD  on the 30-minute timeframe. I am strongly short-biased on the Euro because I see a strong sell-off as a reaction to the election. This strong sell-off, combined with the fundamentals of the U.S. presidential election, suggests that I should focus more on shorts for this pair. This means I use the Volume Profile over the recent area to look for significant volume zones. If you examine how the volumes were distributed this past Friday, there are two significant volume ...

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 ...
