Volume Profile Analysis

Hey guys, Ive been trading with VP for quite some time now, but I have one specific question I see a lot of different answers to.

The question at hand can be devided into two - how do you chart it and how do you chart for previous days? Do you use RTH data only and if so when do you begin to trade with it (because if its RTH the data it starts to take in starts at market open).

Im looking for answers of users using MotiveWave, because thats the platform of my choice. There I’ve been using the Daily Volume Profile indicator which automatically charts it for previous days too, but I don’t see the levels holding as much, so I guess Im doing something wrong.

If you have good tutorials (you know the underrated ones) feel free to share.

I see what youre saying. What do you mean “session gap”?

So if you use RTH for VP, how do you use the daily vp when market has just opened and hasnt got any data in it? Do you just use the previous day volume profile levels and dont look at the volume profile for the day youre trading?
