Profit with the Market Profile: Identifying Market Value in Real Time

Master Market Context with Precision – Learn to Trade Using Market Profile

“Profit with the Market Profile” by Dr. John Keppler is the definitive guide for traders who want to gain a deeper, more accurate understanding of market structure. This comprehensive book explores how to identify market value in real time using the powerful concept of Market Profile—a method that integrates price, time, and volume to reveal market behavior and uncover trading opportunities missed by traditional charting methods.

This isn’t just a theoretical manual. Dr. Keppler offers a step-by-step educational journey—from understanding TPOs, value areas, and market structure, to analyzing auction behavior, reading split and composite profiles, and tracking volume with advanced tools like Footprint charts and the proprietary Keppler Volume Tracking Indicator (KVT).

Whether you’re trading futures, stocks, forex, or ETFs, this book will show you how professionals use Market Profile to read price action, assess market context, and adapt to evolving auction dynamics. Learn how institutional players leave footprints, how to read buyer/seller aggression, and how value shifts shape the market’s next move.
