I have found a few interesting sites that deal with market profile; IOAMT (Institute of Auction Market Theory) is run by Bill Duryea, Cisco (CISCO Futures) is run by Don Jones, and Trading Clinic (The TradingClinic) is run by Alex Benjamin. All three have free educational stuff on them.

 

 

Thanks for the resources. I had a chance to learn with Alex Benjamin for a little bit. He's one of the best in the field.

TinGull do you have real player installed? You might have to wait a bit as well. They are approximately 60 minutes in length and can take some time to download even to stream. Also they are down sometimes so might have to check back on it later.

 

I just gave it a test run and it seems to be working okay.

I do have Real player and the first time I tried, it worked great and downloaded a real file to my desktop. Now, quicktime tries to open and it won't let me download just a file for real. Weird...I'll keep playing around I guess. I just use the email that I used here right? That's all i did last time.

You may have to go to the new CME Group site as the links are from the time before the merger. Don't know for sure, but give it a try.

i realize this thread is a few years old, but since there have been recent links and updates, i wanted to add some resources i've found very useful.

 

1. The CL/CES course via DLC Profiles (Jim Dalton's company) - i'm only a few weeks into this 12-month program, and already i can barely recognize the trader i was at the start. and i still have MILES and MILES to go. I can't thank the guys at DLC enough for all their help.

 

2. Anatomy of CBOT Market Profile - This is an online presentation by Jim Dalton. Viewers can also download/print a PDF of the presentation slides.

 

3. ASX on Market Profile - I don't often see this site listed, but i think it does a great job of putting together a compressed but useful primer on Market Profile.

 

4. The CBOT Market Profile Manual - This is pretty much the manual on Market Profile. i know it has been mentioned elsewhere, but figure it doesn't hurt to have the link again. and some water. it's a bit dry, imo :)

 

5. CBOT Market Profile Educational Resources - several links for various MP related presentations and such.

 

6. Market Profile Basics - An overview of some core MP stuff.

 

7. Interview with Pete Steidlmayer - An interview with the founder of Market Profile.

 

i used to have a link for another Dalton audio/video presentation but currently can't locate it. if i find it, i will post it.

 

obviously, there will be some overlap and some repetition. i've yet to find evidence that either is detrimental to learning anything. the market is thick with context and nuances, so i'm a believer in seeing the same thing many times to really reinforce learning and establish an unshakable foundation.

 

hope this helps.

 

take care -

i used to have a link for another Dalton audio/video presentation but currently can't locate it. if i find it, i will post it.
through some digging, i found that the presentation i was referring to was done in 2001 and hosted by Zap Futures. Well, RJO bought Zap and the link went away with the acquisition. however, i was able to find my old archive of the audio file and the presentation slides. i put the slides into a Word file and uploaded them here. and here is the MP3 file.

 

not surprisingly, what Jim was talking about in 2001 echoed his thoughts from Mind Over Markets (completed in 1990). his current teachings retain the core concepts from these previous offerings as well.

 

btw, i left out a couple of slides that were no longer applicable (i.e. old, defunct email addresses and so forth). otherwise, it's all the original material from the free online presentation.

 

Enjoy!

Market Profile is one of the most powerful tools we can use as traders, but it is widely used incorrectly as s/r on your charts.

 

I beleive the MP is best used as a direction filter from one day to the next, whereas many MP traders try and use these levels to execute trades, which is risky to new traders b/c they havent the experience needed to understand what they are gettign involve with.

 

One reason why I stay away from MP levels such as VAH and VAL is b/c of the following:

 

1. Different Market Profile calculation methods mean that these levels can be inaccurate, and due to the fact that traders want to be part of the 'crowd' rahter than be right, this inaccuracy makes for 'blurred' support/resistance levels.

 

compare VAH to a Pivot...

 

The Pivot calculation is simple and is always using the settlement information from the exchange. this tells me at the end of the day MOST traders will have this calculation nailed down the same way as the mass majority of traders, which gives me more confidence in this level 'holding' with price.

 

Now look at VAH...different story... this is calculated off volume, meaning there is plenty of room for error there, and then we have the many different varitions of how to calculate it, and you have a potential S/R level that is 'blurred' because of the different ways in which OTHER traders have calculated these levels.

 

SO rather than using these levels as S/R to take trades, i use this the way it was designed to be used, and that is to identify the overall market sentiment as it applies to value that was determined by the previous day's trading.

 

Hope it helps! Mav

There is an important site missing from the list above:

 

menu

 

I will make a simple statement... I have attended all of the mentors mentioned above this post... but they cannot compare with the site posted here. Erik nelson provides analysis of the Profile and makes it simple to understand better than any

mentor I have seen... check out his site, there is a free section. the course lasts for a month, and there is continuing education in a private MP trading room for free.

If you want to learn the profile...or even if you are currently using it now.. I guarantee you that Erik will expose you to more of the power that the Profile offers. Google (alternating-symmetry) for the web address.

Hello Mr. Benjamin...Alex, I never mentored under you... but I have listened to many

presentations online of yours... at one time I was in Christine's trading room... remember her? The lady with health problems that you associated with. That's were I originally met Erik. Yes I am aware you did some mentoring with Erik... but you should see him now.

I sincerely believe he has taken MP analysis to another level. there are methods taught in his room, that aren't available anywhere. I certainly mean NO disrespect to you Alex,

you should have some credit for inspiring Erik...you should be very proud. Thanks Alex for responding to my post.

    • Date: 14th March 2025.   Gold Surges Past Record High as Market Volatility Persists.     Gold Surges Past Record High as Market Volatility Persists Gold surged towards $2,994 per ounce, surpassing its previous high set on Thursday. With a 2.6% rise this week, gold is on track for its most significant gain since November. Meanwhile, gold futures in New York comfortably exceeded the $3,000 mark, reflecting strong investor sentiment toward the precious metal. The robust performance of gold this quarter extends its strong annual rally in 2024. Market uncertainty, exacerbated by the US administration’s aggressive trade policies, has dampened risk appetite for equities, pushing the S&P 500 into correction territory this week. Central bank purchases increased ETF inflows, and bullish forecasts from major banks have further fueled gold’s ascent. Trade Tensions and Market Impact Former President Donald Trump escalated trade tensions by proposing a 200% tariff on European alcoholic beverages, including wine and champagne. Additionally, he reaffirmed his stance on retaining tariffs on steel and aluminium and signalled that reciprocal tariffs on global trade partners could take effect as early as April 2. As we approach the second quarter, reciprocal tariffs could drive another wave of market turbulence, solidifying gold’s appeal as a safe-haven asset. Gold and Equity Market Reactions The upward momentum in gold has also lifted mining stocks, with Australia’s Evolution Mining Ltd. reaching an all-time high. Global holdings in gold-backed ETFs increased to 2,687 tons, marking the highest level since November 2023. Analysts at major banks remain bullish on gold’s trajectory. Macquarie Group recently forecasted a potential spike to $3,500 per ounce in Q2, while BNP Paribas revised its outlook to show gold prices consistently above $3,000. Gold traded at $2,983.50 per ounce in the Asia session, reflecting a 14% year-to-date gain. Meanwhile, silver edged lower after nearing $34 per ounce, while platinum and palladium recorded gains.     US Stock Market Recovery Amid Uncertainty After a sharp sell-off, US stock futures rebounded. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite futures gained 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively. Despite the slight recovery, Wall Street remains on edge following the S&P 500’s descent into correction territory. Trump’s firm stance on tariffs has added to market concerns. During a meeting with NATO’s secretary general, he dismissed any possibility of easing trade restrictions, acknowledging that further market disruptions may lie ahead. Government Shutdown and Economic Indicators Adding to the economic uncertainty, a potential US government shutdown loomed over Wall Street. However, a breakthrough emerged late Thursday as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer signalled a willingness to advance a Republican-led stopgap spending bill. Today the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment survey is expected to shed light on how consumers are coping with inflation and trade disruptions. Last month’s report indicated weakening economic confidence, which could have further implications for spending trends. Asian Markets Rally Amid China’s Economic Stimulus Asian stock markets saw a strong performance this morning, brushing off Wall Street’s losses. Chinese stocks surged after state-run banks and financial institutions were instructed to support consumer spending. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index jumped 2.5% to 24,038.85, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 1.9% to 3,420.65. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 added 0.9%, while Australia’s ASX 200 climbed 0.6%. China’s National Financial Regulatory Administration issued directives aimed at boosting consumer finance, including encouraging credit card usage and providing support for struggling borrowers. Economists, however, argue that broader reforms—such as wage growth and enhanced social welfare—are necessary for sustained economic recovery. Wall Street’s Struggles Amid AI Stock Declines Despite positive economic data, including lower-than-expected wholesale inflation and strong job market indicators, stock market turbulence continued. AI-related stocks, which have been at the forefront of market gains, faced renewed pressure. Palantir Technologies fell 4.8%, Super Micro Computer dropped 8%, and Nvidia fluctuated before closing 0.1% lower. Tesla also struggled, declining 3% and extending its 2025 losses to over 40%. In contrast, Intel shares soared 14.6% after announcing Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO. Oil Prices and Currency Movements In commodities, US crude oil prices rose by $0.46 to $67.01 per barrel, while Brent crude increased by $0.44 to $70.32 per barrel. The US dollar strengthened to 148.63 Yen, while the Euro dipped slightly to $1.0845. Conclusion Market volatility remains high as investors navigate shifting trade policies, inflation concerns, and economic uncertainties. While gold continues to shine as a safe-haven asset, equity markets face persistent headwinds.
