@44emirr: Most traders merge profiles too early. A balance area isn’t complete just because price spent a few hours rotating. Balance develops over time as buyers and sellers continue agreeing on value. As long as value is overlapping and acceptance is persisting, the profile can continue to expand. Once that balance breaks and the market moves into imbalance, the profile is finished. The mistake is forcing multiple distributions together before the market has actually proven they’re part of the same auction. Let the market tell you when balance is developing, and let it tell you when that balance is over. The quality of your profile depends entirely on where you start and stop measuring. #orderflow #nq #daytrading #ict #tradingstrategy
