This video shows you the alternative: how to locate your trade areas and build a complete plan before the session ever starts, using Volume Profile. I break down the exact process I use every morning for ES and NQ futures — reading balance on the weekly composite for direction, then layering the ETH and prior RTH session profiles for precision. By the open, you have a handful of specific trades mapped out with locations, bias, and invalidation already defined. No indicators. No signals.
