I'm curious, how many of you use Auction Market Theory or Market Profile in your trading?

Here is a recent trade from this past week. This is a 5m EU chart....
POC is supposed to show where most trading has occured during the day. As the markets become thin there's not much action and the chart simply prints more "unnecessary" 5min bars in the same range. So what I would suggest is using futures volume data for constructing your POC, at least it would be more accurate.

Worked here

Edit: this is the buying climax and subsequent drop in regard to the last chart.

And here. Also at demand as well. You can see that earlier price had bounced off of the unfair high (in blue).

Either that or simply defining the parameters to the high volume sessions. I've used Futures volumes for the last year for the same info and whilst its a great tool you can literally see these max vol points on a naked price chart just like how Frankkns doing in the above. But for accuracy - CME data couldn't hurt of course.

Here is the best info on AMT that I've found so far.

Great stuff.

Some others:

1. James Dalton's books and website.
2. CBOT MP manual
3. Institute of Auction Market Theory (IOAMT)
4. BalanceTrader.com

An easy thing to do is google Market Profile videos there is a ton of stuff that comes up. Not all great, not all bad.
The Market is either drawing to liquidity or running to an imbalance.
A good place to start is at the begining.

The market is a dual auction process. It moves from balance to imbalance and back to balance again.

I don't have any way of getting VAH or VAL but here are some eyeballed levels.

Here are the levels I am watching.

They are not based on Value Area Highs and Lows or POCs. These are the "clusters" or areas where the market was balanced.

These were not taken but are based on the Balance Area concept.

The first thing is that we want to trade with trend. We know the trend is up because we broke out of a balance area to the upside and have not traversed back through it.

On my previous post, the blue area is the area in question. The black lines represent friday's balance area so ignore for this post. Because the up auction continues, we would only be looking to get long. I'll leave the VSA for the VSA thread, but you can see some places to enter long in the support area (Balance Area).

On Mondays I'm too busy to trade because of school/work. Tomorrow I'll be looking for longs in these areas if I can find a good entry.

First is a monthly chart of /es showing supply and second is a 30m showing a gap down, but price wasn't able to break this balance area.

The first chart shows (EU) price arriving at my closest balance area. Next is 15m buying then a High volume shake out that was revisited before price moved. The third chart is a 5m showing the bar I entered on. I'm moving my stop to BE at +25 and my TP is at +50 just below 1.3650.

Price came back down to one pip above my stop before reversing to my TP.
