What is POC (Point of Control)?

The price with the most traded volume in a profile: the price of greatest agreement.

In context

The Point of Control (POC) is the price, or row, in the profile where the most volume traded: the longest bar of the histogram. In auction language, the POC is where the auction found the most agreement, the price at which the largest number of contracts changed hands. In our hand-built profile above, the POC is 4204 with 220 contracts.
