"Understanding Market Profile" is a comprehensive educational resource inspired by the work of legendary market analyst Jim Dalton, designed for those who want to go beyond simple candlestick reading to grasp the actual market structure. The book explores in depth the key concepts of Market Profile, including the construction of TPO profiles, the various day types (Normal, Trend, Non-Trend, Neutral, etc.), inventory logic, and the dynamics of balance and imbalance.

Through a transparent and progressive approach, readers learn how to interpret price distribution over time, identify value areas, and anticipate transitions between market phases. Each chapter combines theory, market logic, and practical examples to help traders think like institutional participants and understand collective market behavior.
