Now you've officially completed the core

volume profile trading program. So what do

you do next? Well, now the journey begins.

So what you're going to want to do moving

forward is now that you understand the

core concepts of trading the volume

profile and what exactly we look for, the

next important step is to start reviewing

the playbook. This is included alongside

your access to this program. Now the

playbook is updated on a regular basis,

detailing A-ranked trade setups that we

find on a day-to-day basis in the markets.

And you'll see how to make a detailed

volume-based analysis through the lens of

an experienced trader. Now you're going to

want to continually invest in this with

your full attention because this is where

most of your gains will come from.

Understanding the concepts up front is the

first step, but then understanding how to

implement these concepts in action and

seeing what A-ranked setups look like on a

day-to-day basis so you know what to look

out for is where the majority of your

gains will come from. So you can begin by

working through the playbook now and

what's already in there and continue to

stay updated for the new trades and new

setups that get added to the playbook on a

regular basis. And take notes to see what

you should be looking for every day and

what an A-ranked setup looks like. There

will be examples included for both

overnight traders and New York session

traders. You'll get to learn the little

nuances that come with both those

sessions. Next, you want to begin trading

either a demo account or low-cost prop

accounts to start putting what you've

learned into practice. Now this entirely

depends on your confidence level. Speaking

from personal experience, I never found

much value in trading demo past just

understanding basic mechanics and testing

a couple of concepts here and there

because there's no skin in the game. So my

personal preferred method of learning is

to use low-cost prop accounts to start

putting new things into practice. That way

there's a bit of skin in the game causing

you to trade carefully enough and

seriously enough to the point where you

can actually learn and see how you handle

trading this way in real time. With of

course the added benefit of actually

earning from your practice and your

learning experience too. With a little

downside of spending less than $100 on a

prop account. So that entirely depends on

your own personal situation. But the main

thing is to start putting into practice

what you've learned after going through

this course and after reviewing the

playbook. Now it's your turn to step up to

the plate and start putting these things

into action. Now you don't want to just do

this blindly and just trade without taking

note of anything. You want to actively

document each trade rank and review your

results weekly. The rank of trades that

you've taken. Remember we talked about

trade ranking earlier in this course. A, B

and C ranked trades. And treat your

trading as a business because it is a

business. Document every transaction you

take and review what you are doing that is

working versus not working. For example

are you finding that you're taking too

many C ranked trades and having too many

losses. Then you know to knuckle down and

stop taking C ranked trades and start

taking B or above. Or are you finding that

your psychology is taking a hit trading B

ranked trades and having a slightly higher

losing rate compared to if you only waited

for A ranked trades. There's nothing wrong

with taking B and C ranked trades but it

all depends how you personally are

reacting to the outcome of these trades

and how you are managing these trades. Or

maybe you find from your review that

trades that you take in the morning versus

the afternoon are trending in a certain

direction. Maybe your morning trades are

losing due to the higher volatility and

your afternoon trades are winners due to

the slower and smoother price action.

These are things you're going to have to

document and review weekly to find out

what's working for you as a trader because

there is no right approach to trading the

markets and making a living from the

markets. We all have slightly different

personalities. We have slightly different

reactions and we all prefer slightly

different things in terms of times in the

market, sessions, the type of trades we

like to take, how we like to manage our

trades. It's all different. And that rolls

on to the next point of developing your

style and figuring out your own unique

approach according to your trading

personality. And for example, as a

personal anecdote here, I trade as an

extremely short-term scalper. So I trade

using the exact concepts taught in this

course, the exact theory taught in this

course and everything that's been relayed

to you is the exact same way that I trade.

However, because I know my trading

personality over the years after eight

years as a trader, I know that I perform

best on the very short-term time horizons.

In fact, the extent of my trading on a day

-to-day basis lasts an average of 11

minutes. So I'm in and out very quick,

taking very small trades but with larger

size. And that's what works for me.

Whereas other students who have taken this

course and use these exact concepts trade

from a more positional standpoint. They

might trade from value area low and hold

that trade all the way through to point of

control or above, taking larger trades and

trading for maybe two to three hours a

day. And that's what's working for them.

There's no right answer to this. And the

only way you can learn the right approach

for you as a person, as a trader, is to

put in the hours actively documenting,

actively trading, and actively observing

what's working for you and what's not

working for you. And that's why we make a

particular focus in the playbook not to

draw attention to the type of trade

executed but just to draw attention to the

setup because we're all, no matter what,

our trading personality, no matter how we

choose to approach the market, the setups,

and the core concepts are exactly the

same. The only thing that's different is

our approach to trading the concepts. And

no one can tell you the right way to do

this. You have to put in the time and

figure out what works with your

personality and what your own unique

approach is. Some people that work full

-time even use these exact concepts to

take what would almost be classed as swing

trades. Taking a trade, taking a position

very early in the morning, still in the

overnight session, and holding that

through to the close. We have one student

who does this and occasionally even holds

overnight through the close. So again, the

point is there's no right approach to

trading these concepts. You need to figure

out what works best for you. And the only

way to do that is by documenting your

trades and documenting what's working

versus not working. Now finally, follow

the Volpro trader roadmap to work towards

full-time trading. A lot of people who

attempt trading never put together an

actual plan with actual numbers and actual

goalposts to work towards. They come in

and attempt trading with nothing more than

a gambling mindset, which is why we've put

together a trader roadmap for Volpro

members. And you'll see that pinned on the

homepage of the members section. And this

provides you a path to follow so that

you're not coming into this aimlessly, but

you've got achievable goals working

towards practical outcomes to turn your

full-time trading goals into a reality,

which most fail to do because, again, they

have no plan. And they're trying to get

rich quick versus stay in this game

sustainably long-term. So get started

diving into that playbook. Pinned on the

homepage of the members section, you'll

also find our prop firm, partners, and

which ones are best for what purpose. And

then linked below this module as well,

you'll also find the daily trade review

sheet, document your trading, and then

review them weekly. And feel free to

publicly review your trades in the members

section. There is a specific category for

weekly reviews. So make use of that. Share

it with the community. Get feedback. Show

what's working for you. Share what you're

finding a bit difficult. And allow the

community to uplift each other and share

their own insights. All of us are going to

have slightly different approaches and

slightly different ways of doing things

that we can all use to learn from each

other. So invest in your own learning by

making an effort to do these weekly

reviews. Now that you've finished the core

program, the journey is just beginning. Go

ahead and complete this lesson. Dive into

the playbook and get involved in the

community. Good luck and good trading. But
