Structure first. Signals second.
Profile Edge highlights where volume concentrates and how the session evolves—so you frame trades before you fire.
What Profile Edge does
Volume-at-Price Clarity
Surface POC/VPOC/VAH/VAL and high-interest zones where institutional activity concentrates.
Session Context
Opening Range behavior, prior H/L levels, VWAP relationships that define the trading environment.
Actionable Read
Enter where market structure makes sense; avoid low-quality churn and false breakouts.
Why NQ?
Liquid & Fast
NQ futures offer tight spreads, deep liquidity, and rapid price discovery. Perfect for scalping and day trading with minimal slippage.
Volatility Patterns
Tech-heavy NASDAQ moves create predictable intraday patterns that Profile Edge capitalizes on through volume profile analysis.
Session Behavior
Clear overnight gaps, opening range dynamics, and session rotations make NQ ideal for structure-based trading approaches.
Capital Efficiency
Lower margin requirements than ES, with MNQ micro contracts available for smaller accounts while maintaining the same price action.
