Welcome to the Volpro core training

program where we cover how to trade the

volume profile and everything that entails

from strategy to theory to practical

application. So a quick overview of this

course is this course is designed to give

you a practical understanding of the

volume profile and how to apply it in

daily market conditions. So a bit of an

overview of how the course is going to

flow. We're going to start with setting up

the tools you need to be able to use the

volume profile on a day-to-day basis.

We're going to move into the theory so you

understand how the volume profile works,

why the volume profile works. Then we'll

go into the technicals of how to use the

volume profile to find practical trade

setups. After we've done that, we'll look

at how you can build confluence, stack

confluences together and build context

around the volume profile to improve your

trade hit rate and find higher probability

trades. Because one thing a lot of people

forget is that you can't just trade from

random levels without any extra context or

confluence. So that's what we're going to

help with in that section. Then we'll go

into risk and targeting using the volume

profile and specifically how to find your

risk and your take profit targets using

the volume profile itself. Then we'll

cover session specifics. Not all of us

trade the same session. We'll cover the

specifics of trading the main New York

session versus trading the overnight

session such as Asia and London. And then

we'll go in to wrap things up in the

conclusion. So whatever you do, don't skip

ahead. Each section builds on the last.

And even if you are familiar with some of

this information, it's important that you

watch this course right through to the

very end without skipping any modules. So

why volume profile? Why is it important to

learn how to use this tool? Most traders,

specifically retail traders, rely on price

alone. But price without volume is an

incomplete picture. Volume profile shows

us where the real battles happen between

buyers and sellers, effectively showing us

what's happening behind the candlesticks.

Without a tool like volume, you're just

looking at the open, high, low, and close

of price and nothing else. Volume profile

also highlights value areas, key levels,

and hidden support and resistance.

And it should come as no surprise when I

tell you that the volume profile and

volume-based analysis is the foundation of

most professional trading strategies in

the futures markets. You find that most

people who are doing this professionally

and trading professionally use volume as

part of their analysis. If not, the main

crux of their analysis is based on volume

analysis and volume profile because it

provides such an edge compared to a naked

price chart. Volume profile is also not a

lagging indicator. You know, the problem

with most indicators, as we know, are that

they're lagging. They only show something

and will only adjust after the fact.

Whereas the volume profile is showing us

real-time market interest at specific

price levels. So yes, we can see past data

and yes, we do analyze the past data. But

in real time, it also shows us where

volume is developing. Hence why it's so

important. Volume profile identifies true

support and resistance levels that's based

on actual volume. Not based on candlestick

patterns, not based on specific highs and

lows, but based on real volume. So we can

identify these true areas where there is

most likely going to be a reaction, a

ceiling, and a floor. The volume profile

shows us where institutional players are

most active. Institutional players are

good at hiding their intentions from

retail traders unless we are able to see

volume. Volume is one thing that cannot be

hidden. Hence why using the volume profile

is a brilliant way to see where these

larger players are positioning themselves

and executing their trades, allowing us to

build an edge upon that. Volume profile

helps us to choose the most favorable

prices for entries and exits, giving us a

higher risk-to-reward ratio. And the

volume profile also improves our

understanding of market structure and

intraday trends. Again, not based on

candlestick patterns, but based on real

volume, real data, and real transactions.

So by the end of this course, you will

know how to identify high-value trading

zones using the volume profile. You will

know how to build context using multiple

volume profiles and improve your

discretionary trading decisions. And you

will have built a strategy that aligns

with real transaction-based market logic.

Not guesswork, not subjective candlestick

nonsense, but real order flow and volume

-based analysis. Once you see the market

through the volume profile, you will never

look at price the same way again. In fact,

if someone told me to trade now without a

volume profile, I would tell them I can't

do it. I would not feel comfortable

trading a chart or trading a market

without a volume profile or some form of

volume analysis. So one thing we always

tell people before they go through this

program is that be prepared for your

entire world to be shifted upside down. If

you're only used to trading typical retail

candlestick patterns and typical trading

strategies that you see all over YouTube

and in social media, be prepared to have

that totally flipped on its head. Trading

with the volume profile is a professional

approach and is totally different to what

you will be taught and parroted from on

social media. So I hope you're looking

forward to going through this program.

We'll first go into how to set up the

volume profile and make sure all your

tools are ready to go so that we can be

working from the same page. So go ahead

and complete this lesson now and move on

to the setup lesson. So go ahead and

complete this lesson.
