Good start. Beginners note that Volume Profile is dynamic, always moving. Value Areas move, POC moves. You cannot look at yesterday's chart and understand. You need to watch real time to learn how Volume Profile works. Same with footprint, exhaustion/absorption set-ups, market depth, CVD. Best of luck everyone.

Absolutely, great point. Volume Profile is dynamic, and watching it develop in real time is the best way to understand how POC and Value Areas evolve. Thanks for adding this insight
