@Lornz, do you have a link for more information on the volume strips?

As I understood Steidlmayer's CME video, volume strips differ from VP in that they are exclusively intraday, and can be 'reset' by the trader when desired. So it seemed to me to be a subset of, or change in emphasis within VP, rather than something radically new. But the CME video is all I know of it.

Volume and market profile has always been an available intraday option, but relies on a normalized distribution with a single supply area in the center. One of the key ideas within volume strips is the concave distribution with multiple supply areas at the extremes of intraday movements.

FT71: "Visualizing the day is an important piece of the puzzle."

You can see how I personally work through this process in this thread:

FT71: "I don't try to be right. I try to emphasize the probabilities. What is more likely to take place, in this area, right now that I designated to do business in, in my homework"

Homework objective: Goal is create a plan for the day, to see the move before or as soon as it starts happening

Live trading objective: Goal for day is to simply execute the plan in the market. It is not time to do more research once the market is already open.

FT71: "Once the move has happened, it is too late - you are taking too much price risk by waiting for too much information".

Focus during homework is to find in context and to be able to anticipate a move away from an area where you want to do business.

Create about 3-5 hypothesis for the day in homework to be prepared.

Context is king:
- Time Frame
- Relevance to method (scalper, daily, monthly?)

FT71: "Most attention is being spent on the tip of the iceberg (what you can see above water). That is not the most important part. What's important is the foundation (unseen under water)."

Keep analysis relevant to your time frame.

Typical plan for the day. Brief example -- more details are in Webinar 4.1 on FT71's website. (Below is my assessment of what he describes)
  • Start by looking at trading calendar (news events etc)
  • Next look at Big Picture: FT71 uses a 405 minute day session only chart (1 bar = 1 RTH session)
  • Review the composite profile chart
  • Read the "story" the market is telling
  • When market is in balance: create a micro composite to show what prices were doing during the ranging/balance span of days - until the market breaks out of that range (no longer in balance)
  • (Why composite profiles? Want to see inside the bar, not just OHLC - at what prices did most of the trading take place?)
  • Determine "where did the market like prices, and where did it not?"

(Think from auction perspective: if iPhone were sold tomorrow at $50, how long will prices remain at $50? What is the fair price of an iPhone? (~$200). What happens if AT&T offered for $50, would you buy it? (Yes) What if the inventory @ $50 is limited, how much volume would happen (very limited - supply will be gone very quickly). That becomes an unfair price to the seller, so the seller will raise prices quickly. Prices will continue going up until the new price becomes unfair, and there are no new buyers.)
