Profile Edge Trading - Market Profile ChartAuction Market Profile Chart + IB Conviction Engine
A complete Auction Market Theory framework with structural intelligence, breakout qualification, and real-time context scoring.
Profile Edge Market Profile Chart is not just a TPO Market Profile chart. It is a structured auction analysis engine that integrates:
Full TPO distribution
Developing & completed Value Areas
Poor High / Poor Low detection
Buying & Selling Tail tracking
Single Print impulse zones
Composite profile merging
Initial Balance analytics
Cumulative Volume Delta
IB Breakout Conviction scoring
Real-time Market Context Gauge
This tool is built to answer:
Is this breakout initiative — or just rotational noise?
What does this indicator does
It converts raw TPO data into a structured decision model. Instead of only plotting letters and levels, it evaluates:
Acceptance vs rejection
Initiative vs responsive activity
Structural obstacles in breakout path
Volume confirmation
Balance compression
Opening type strength
CORE FEATURES

Stored historically
Auto mitigation tracking
Used inside breakout scoring
✅ Single Prints

Extends until mitigated
Initial Balance Engine
The Initial Balance (IB) is defined by the first two brackets of the session and is classified as Small, Normal, or Wide based on recent volatility. This range serves as the baseline for calculating expansion targets, with extension levels typically projected at 0.5x, 1.0x, 1.5x, and 2.0x of the IB size.
🚀 IB BREAKOUT CONVICTION ENGINE (Unique Feature)
This is the core differentiator. This feature answers,
“Is this IB break initiative, structurally clean, and supported by participation?”
The conviction score evaluates measures like:
IB break direction
Acceptance beyond developing VA
Developing VA migration direction
Cumulative Volume Delta confirmation
Previous day value acceptance
Opening type (OD / OTD / ORR)
Consecutive tails
OR breakout structure
Balance compression (overlap streak + PPOC)
Structural resistance within 0.5x extension
Unmitigated single prints
Unmitigated tails
Structural Penalties
Breakout conviction is reduced if:
Active single prints exist in breakout path
Unmitigated tail zones exist inside IB 0.5x extension
This prevents false breakout optimism.
📊 Conviction Output
The display provides a real-time Directional Bias (Bullish/Bearish) alongside a Conviction Percentage. Based on the conviction level, the system suggests specific Initial Balance (IB) extension targets ranging from 0.5x to 2.0x.
Alerts available for: Medium Conviction (≥ 50%), Strong Conviction (≥ 65%)
📈 MARKET CONTEXT GAUGE (Live Sentiment Engine)
The Live Sentiment Engine monitors VA migration, delta, and market structure to output a five-tier bias—from Strong Bullish to Strong Bearish. It further qualifies the trade path as Clean (unobstructed) or Blocked (impulse zones present).
This gives traders real-time bias before and during breakout attempts.
📊 STATISTICS PANEL
Displays:
Volatility: ATR, Completed vs. Remaining Range %.
Structure: Opening Location/Type, VA Migration (Previous day/Developing), and Cumulative Delta.
Consistency: Overlap and PPOC Streaks.
HOW TO USE
Step 1 – Identify Auction Type
Look at: Opening location, Previous VA migration, Developing VA migration, Context Gauge
Determine if market is: In balance, Transitioning, Initiating trend
Step 2 – Wait for IB Completion
After first two brackets:
Observe IB size (Small IB often expands), Watch for acceptance outside IB
Step 3 – Read Conviction
When IB breaks: Check conviction %, Check structural status (Clean vs Blocked),
Use suggested target multiple, Do not treat all IB breaks equally.
Step 4 – Check Structural Path
Before entry:
Are there single prints within 0.5x?
Are there unmitigated tails?
Is price breaking into poor highs/lows?
Structure often matters more than momentum.
Step 5 – Manage Targets
< 40% → rotational / fade likely
40–60% → partial initiative
60–75% → good continuation probability
75% → strong initiative drive
Use IB multiples as objective targets.
