How to Use Volume Profile and Related Markets to Stay on the Right Side of the Trade

Understanding Volume Profile is one of the most reliable ways to see where the market truly traded and where value was actually accepted. Price alone can be misleading. Volume at price tells you where buyers and sellers agreed — and where they didn’t.

In this video, we break down exactly how to use Volume Profile inside Optimus Futures Web, how the auction process creates value, and how balanced vs. imbalanced profiles help you identify acceptance, rejection, and potential areas of interest. You’ll learn how POC, Value Area High, Value Area Low, High Volume Nodes, and Low Volume Nodes work together to explain market behavior.

We’ll also walk through real examples, show how value forms during consolidation, and demonstrate how to use Fixed Range Volume Profile step-by-step. If you want to understand where the market is building energy — and where it may react next — this video gives you a clear framework.

There is a substantial risk of loss in futures trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results. When considering technical analysis, please remember that educational charts are presented with the benefit of hindsight. Market conditions are always evolving, and technical trading theories and approaches may not always work as intended. The placement of contingent orders by you or a broker, or a trading advisor, such as a “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in commodity interest trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. Optimus Futures, LLC is not affiliated with nor does it endorse any trading system, methodologies, newsletter or other similar service. We urge you to conduct your own due diligence.
