Educational Post - Using Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)

If you trade ranges and you're not using FRVP, you're flying blind.
Volume profiles shows you exactly what is happening inside the range, where the most volume traded inside the range.
Price has memory of where it spent the most time, and those levels become magnetic.
The Three Levels That Matter
POC (Point of Control). The single price where the most volume traded. This is the magnet. Price gravitates back to POC constantly inside ranges. POC position signals bias — POC near the high leans distribution, POC near the low leans accumulation.
VAH (Value Area High). The top of the value area (the zone where 70% of volume traded). Acts as resistance inside the range.
VAL (Value Area Low). The base of the value area. Acts as support inside the range.
How to Use It
At range extremes: Range high + VAH alignment = high conviction short zone. Range low + VAL = high conviction long zone.
Inside the range: Long off POC support, short off POC resistance.
Single prints (low volume nodes): Price moves through them fast in both directions. Trampolines.
P-shaped profile (volume bulged at top) = buyers in control.
b-shaped profile (volume bulged at bottom) = sellers in control.
FRVP turns a 2D chart into a 3D map of where real liquidity sat. It's not optional for serious range traders.
