I started paying more attention to POC trading after truly understanding how Volume Profile works. This price level where the most volume concentrates is not just a number on paper; it's where the most interesting things happen in the market.

When I trade with the POC, I try to identify those areas where buyers and sellers have really clashed. That's where liquidity is denser, and it often becomes a natural resistance or support zone. It's as if the market has left a trail of where traders were more convinced.

The volume indicator helps me understand whether a movement is driven by real conviction or just noise. When I combine this information with the POC, I can better read when a reversal or continuation might occur. It's the difference between trading blindly and trading with a map.

Regarding sell entries, I mainly look at two things. First, when the POC aligns with a strong resistance, I know it could be the right time to sell if the price retests that area. But I don't enter just because of that. I wait to see a volume spike as the price approaches, because that tells me whether the market is really rejecting that level or if it's just a random move.

Candlestick patterns give me that extra confirmation I seek. A bearish engulfing or a shooting star near the POC makes the trade much more credible. And of course, I consider the broader market context. I don't go short if the overall sentiment is bullish; it doesn't make sense to go against the trend without a strong reason.

The part that people often overlook is risk management. I always place a stop-loss above the POC or the resistance area. If the market moves against me, I want to know exactly where I exit and how much I lose. It’s not a matter of if it happens, but when it happens.

After opening a sell position, I keep monitoring everything. The stop and target levels are not fixed; I adjust them based on what I see in the volume and price action. POC trading is not a rigid formula; it’s an art based on rules. If you learn to read these signals correctly, the market becomes much more understandable.
