Howard,
How long have you studied the Market Profile idea?  What salient references
could you direct me to reading
I have Dalton's Mind over Markets,  anything else?  I also heard there are
some article in TASC from the late '80's
that discuss it.

How much bearing does the previous days Average and Value area play into a
day with more buyers and the converse,
How much does Average price of the previous day, and Value areas play into a
day with more sellers?
And How do you integrate the last weeks trading into the current day?

I know a lot of questions. It seems like MP is a valid concept.

Thanks for responding..

Don Thompson
