The bars
The profile
The most traded price, the point of control, is about 2,299.38; 75% of the volume traded between 2,295.10 and 2,346.40.
- Where the price is
- The last close, 2,319.40, is inside the value area, where most of the trading happened: a balanced market, where the edges of the area tend to act as support and resistance. It is 0.87% above the point of control.
- The thin spot
- The thinnest row is 2,260.90 to 2,269.45, with 1.3% of the volume: price tends to move quickly through levels where little traded.
- Read it with care
- The volume of each bar is spread evenly over its range, since bars do not say where inside it the trades were. Tick volume from a broker works the same way. 6 of the 12 rows make up the value area.
The volume in each price row, highest prices first. The point of control is marked.

Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

Price is what moved; volume is where it was agreed
A volume profile turns the bars on their side: instead of volume per bar, it shows volume per price. The busiest price, the point of control, is where buyers and sellers agreed most; the value area around it holds 70% of the trading. Futures traders built market profile around these levels: the edges of value often act as support and resistance, and thin levels with little trading tend to be crossed quickly.

Not advice. Arithmetic on the bars you type; where volume traded before does not fix where price goes next.
