Market Profile gives you a way to identify what the markets are trying to do right at the open and during the first hour of trading. Usually, volatility is high during this period and naturally, it attracts retail traders.
That is precisely what the smart money wants. So that they can trap retail traders and effect an inventory transfer. Trap retail traders into bad trades and out of good ones.
The biggest reason I am against these open and opening types is that they create bias. Many mentors have made bold claims that these open and opening types are all you need to know to learn and trade using market profile. I humbly beg to differ…,
The reason is these open and opening types will make you think about the market in a certain way and if markets decide to take a different route you won’t be able to adjust on the fly. Having a rigid opinion in the markets is a death knell for retail traders.
The correct way is to moitor how the makrte trades during the first hour.
Answering the above questions will give you a much better idea as to what the markets are trying to do.
