New Foundations for Auction Market trading and Trade Plan Development course
The New Foundations for Auction Market Trading and Trade Plan Development Course provides a comprehensive and intense course in trading Auction Market Concepts / Market Profile. The course offers thorough and practical training on our methodology that is based on Auction Market Concepts. It may be the only course available that puts Market Profile into the perspective for which it was originally intended, and it covers in detail the history and evolution of Market Profile. Any “Market Profile” trader, or anyone that is considering using Market Profile in any way in their trading should take this course.
This course distills the principles for trading Auction Markets based on my thirty-five years of trading and research, and shows in detail how to apply the methodology.
The many benefits of taking this course include:
- It provides a comprehensive worldview of how markets develop that is logical and objective which addresses the confidence level necessary to execute the trade plan.
- It is robust; it provides the ability to trade any market and any time frames using the exact same techniques (strategies and tactics).
- It inherently orients the trader to identifying trades that have a positive expectancy, which all trade plans/models MUST have.
- It provides definition and structure – something almost all discretionary trades struggle with.
COURSE DETAIL

Part Two (2 hours 30 min)
We will thoroughly breakdown Auction Market Principles and explain why this is such an extraordinarily powerful approach to trading.

We are going to explain the logic behind the concept and how the market follows a very consistent process of development. We will demonstrate why the market has to follow certain patterns of development. We will explain the Market Profile graph and what it was originally designed for. The misuse of the Market Profile is almost universal among “Market Profile” traders. You will learn the effective way to use it.
