Volume Profile and Market Profile Course for Gold: POC, Value Area, TPO and VWAP

This course teaches volume profile, Market Profile (TPO) and auction market theory from the basic definitions to a complete daily routine, from the POC and value area to day types, VWAP and the 80% rule, with an honest look at the evidence. Every example uses gold: levels are built on real COMEX GC futures volume and converted to XAUUSD with the basis, and each lesson ends by showing what order flow adds to the profile. All prices are hypothetical examples for education, not signals.
