Any good market profile books for a beginner?

Recommended Posts

Is there any book recommendations on market profile? I am very unfamiliar with it but going through the charts posted on this forum I feel like I am missing something. Thank you

I agree with Mind Over Markets. Also, read all the free info at Cisco Futures and you may want to look at Steidlmayer on Markets.

 

I've heard of Steidlymayer's book. I need to check that out.

 

Do you have a link for the Cisco Futures resources? Thank you

No. I've been in Bill Duryea's IOAMT site since earliest days. Bill was a student of Don Jones and trades the same way but in a a little more of a scalper fashion. Bill speaks highly of the coursse and recommends it to everyone. I've read a good bit of the free stuff at the Cisco site.

Thank you luke24.5. Is it possible to scalp using market profile? I have this impression that market profile traders pick their spots rather carefully and trade 1-3 roundturns daily.

 

Also, I will check out the free course provided by Cisco futures.

Bill trades looking for 1-2 points depending on where he trades. Different people use the term "scalp" differently too. "Rotation" may have been a better term for me to use, but you can get a lot more entries than you mention. Depends on your temperment more than anything.

Luke, can you describe a scalp trade used by Bill at IOAMT? Are trades taken within the value area? Is there a more efficient way to learn about Bill's trading method without participating in his chat room? Thanks in advance.

I heard about the Cisco Futures market profile course. It's supposed to be pretty good. Did you end up taking that course luke24.5?

 

I recenty signed up for the Cisco course. I am inpressed so far. The guy (Don Jones) definitely knows his stuff! Any lags in learning is coming from my part since there is so much material! I recommend reading all the free stuff on the site for a start, and the Mind over Markets book SoulTrader recommends, then perhaps moving to the course if that's what you'd like to do. I just started a week ago, so I don't know much about it all yet, but I'll fill you in as time progresses if you have any questions. Good luck.

The Cisco-Futures course is excellent, IMO. I took the short course, and for those who feels that Market Profile suits their style, it's the best deal out there. It's a great value. Don's book, Value Based Power Trading, and Mind over Markets complement each other very well.

I agree ant,

 

He covers all the bases. I am very impressed with what I have read the past week or so. Alot of people say it's too much information crammed together, but it's just that HE COVERS SO MANY NECESSARY DETAILS. I read the material and then reread it, and slowly assimilate it until it makes sense.

 

I am on the long course right now...so plenty of time to learn. :p

It appears that the course in general does not appeal to too many people, perhaps because of the way it's marketed or presented. I have to agree that the presentation is not the best - website appears disorganized and overwhelming. But for those who can see past all that, the course benefits are great I think. What I like most about the course is that Don Jones presents a model trading strategy that is as objective as you can get. As an engineer, I can relate to that. Enjoy the course Reaver!

Thanks ant,

 

I can definitely look past the presentation as well. The information is very enlightening. He just has so much to present, that is really the only way to go about it...just lay it all out there. I spoke with Don Jones, the owner, for about an hour the other day and we were discussing it all, and he readily admits there is a ton of info, and alot of people can't handle the barrage, but if you stick with it, it will make a big difference. I agree. I'll keep anyone posted that is interested. Thanks.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
