Volume Profile has become a popular tool with traders since it was included in TradingView and other popular platforms. It's origins comes from Market Profile, a technique for charting ticks in the market to gain an understanding of the underlying market structure.

I'm sure you've heard of the Big Bang Theory, anyone that has taken a high school science class has, and even if you don't know it from science class, you've probably watched more than one episode of the popular sitcom by the same name, now in syndication everywhere, all the time (great show btw).

Yet, the concept of taking asymmetric risks is not discussed or even mentioned as an option in common trading strategies.

There was a failed trade last night, for sure the market looked to drop, and it did in the Globex session, only to reverse on no news just an hour after taking the plunge...now it's morning, and for sure it looks like the market wants to go for new highs, and it does, only to give that up too. Now a dismal New Housing report emerges, absolutely horrible, which by Opposite World standards should se...

There's no doubt that 401K holders are sitting pretty, watching their retirement grow every day, until it stops, which it will eventually, then we'll see and hear the big SUCK! Volatility is on a rollercoaster ride to hell, and by hell I mean super low, anemic, lifeless volatility, except for the occasional market report that perks up Wall Street wondering if the Federal Reserve Hopium will contin...

Inflation has been with us for months now, spurred on by massive stimuli, nearly $6 Trillion in the past 6 months alone. The classic signs are all there, dramatic rising costs; energy, housing, food, labor. Yet gold is stagnant, interest rates are falling, the dollar is rising. What's going on here Sparky? Our buddy Jerome Powell at the Fed says it's all transitory, just a minor bump caused by the...

As someone who might be investigating trading the S&) 0DTE opportunity, you may be confused, wondering how could this be possible...you've neve...

The market is getting more and more frothy the higher it goes. Volatility is seeping away, expectations become less clear because of the disconnect between the Fed narrative and reality. We call it opposite world. The world where good is bad, and bad is actually very good. It's the psyche of a drug addict, who knows that next fix just drags them further down the hole of despair, but man it feels s...

Jerome Powell went before congress today to tell them everything is under control, no need to worry. Just disregard all those things going up in price, and ignore the housing market, pay no attention to the employment situation, because it's all transitory. JP says that despite the CPI rising every month over the past 6 months, reaching heights not seen for more than 30 years, it's all good. No po...

Ernie praises Mr Jaffee for his incredible performance, but challenges him as to what makes an excellent world class trader.

Most traders trade way to large, and it gets them into trouble, sometimes forces them to liquidate an account.

Over trading is a deadly virus that inflicts too many traders. If we could just trade less, especially when the opportunity or edge has left the building, the world would be a better place.

Ernie describes the concept of contango and how it is the normal way of things in the market. The opposite of contango is backwardation, weird times.
