I also use traditional profile theory with a heavy heavy focus on market logic. I understand you disagree with older market profile concepts. I can see where you are coming from, it is really a matter of application. I believe the profile should be used for market understanding. I use my market logic + market understanding as the core of my market strategy. I use various other measures to determine the shorter term and longer term auction and position myself in the direction of the dominant auction to secure free exposure.
Again, I believe a complete understanding of how markets function and a complete understanding of market logic should be the core of everyone's methodology... but thats just me... All the indicators and harmonic cycle tuners really just creates more noise... at least on my time-frame. I told positions in a very similar manner to Ant...
Assuming you are a scalper, or a smaller time-frame than I am... and you have used and internalized all these indicators to completely understand how they function.. I'm sure you can be very profitable with them...
In fact you can be very profitable with any method you would like - if you use correct position sizing and risk management. I cannot believe there is not a greater focus on risk management and position sizing in the trading community. It has to be due to the lack of understanding and the attraction to pretty indicators...
You make some very interesting points, I will be reading through all you have written on the forum over the next couple of days... and great idea on the trade intensity indicator... I really like it.
