DIBH it the place where I need to admit Im wrong if PA exceeds. My target, If price wasnt moving against me (exceeding the IBH), 3x 1.46295, but If it does and rejects, the 1.5 -2x to the downside would be the target, if Im counting measured moves.

I often find that just like the daily VA, the IB acts similar. I try to trust in the idea that price when it returns to va (IB) if not rejected it will go to the otherside or often almost to the pip of the IBl, if not further. If im short on a x ...

. The open 1.4815 possibly, depending on pa. A test of the open is important. We also have a Mvpoc @1.4838. Kind of where price takes me. But those are levels I may consider an exit.Auction Market Theory and Market Profile

I goes back to measured moves theory. If you could buy & sell only 3x's the IB, price drove 2x and stalled. Thats 2x times your power used. There is still 1x of extention of power left. Prices are increasing if you are trying to buy at discount you ...

My dividing the sessions aren’t what you would call text book strategies per se. Even though it was a 3hr MP103 video that described these “measured moves”. I guess you would call it “using market generated info”. It’s just a way of gauging ...

I like that statement. I heard someone describe MP as a “3-dimentional chess game”. I believe that. A lot people forget that “Price over Time = value”. The time aspect is often forgotten, or ignored. MP start times are a matter of preference. There ...
