Profile Configurations

The key configuration of a market profile indicator is the resolution, which is the secondary data series that the indicator uses for sampling volume or TPO distribution.

For example, if you use a 1-tick resolution, the indicator will automatically add a 1-tick data series "behind the scenes" to compute the distribution of volume or TPO by price. The indicator supports 3 resolution types: tick, second, minute.

Which resolution to choose is basically a trade-off between profile accuracy and loading speed. Higher profile accuracy worsens loading speed, and vice versa.

The loading speed also depends very much on the speeds of your internet connection and data feed. Here is the list of resolution configurations sorted in descending order of profile accuracy: 1-tick resolution

Profile accuracy: 100% ACCURATE
Loading speed: rather slow

N-tick resolution (N = 2, 3, 4, 5, ...)

Profile accuracy: very high
Loading speed: moderate

1-second resolution

Profile accuracy: very high
Loading speed: moderate

N-second resolution (N = 2, 3, 4, 5, ...)

Profile accuracy: high
Loading speed: moderate

1-minute resolution

Profile accuracy: moderate on medium timeframes, high on big timeframes
Loading speed: fast

N-minute resolution (N = 2, 3, 4, 5, ...)

Profile accuracy: low on medium timeframes, moderate on big timeframes
Loading speed: fast

Now you have understood the effect of each configuration. Please test the configurations on your end to derive the most suitable one. Here are some advice:

If you have a very good internet speed, please choose 1-tick resolution without a second thought.
If you are very serious on profile accuracy, and you can wait for the indicator to load data (go for a meal or coffee in the mean time lol), please choose 1-tick resolution.
If you have a day or week chart, please choose 1-minute resolution.
If you trade a very small timeframe (e.g. 15-second chart or 50-tick chart), please choose 1-tick or 1-second resolution.

If you are still not sure which resolution is most suitable, please contact us for FREE instructions.

Futures, foreign currency, and options trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
