Learn to spot accumulation using a 1-minute volume profile by watching for aggressive buying that overwhelms sellers. Find the low-volume node at the value-area low, set your stop just below it, and target a 3-to-1 risk-reward: risk $160 to make $500 per contract.
This is exactly how you can identify when it's an accumulation and where it's a distribution. If you see from this level aggression of buyers, catalyst, let's go down to the 1-minute. Buyers aggressive, catalyst, catalyst, catalyst, catalyst. Again, you see what sellers are doing. They are trying to push the market down, but what's happening? They're getting annihilated by buyers. So if you get the profile from the starting of this wing to the end of this wing, you can see that volume is equally distributed here and you start to have low volume from here. What you can do, you see that from here to here, they create a new dealing range and you can go deep dive inside this location. Look where is the value area low and look where is the low volume node. You see this lack of volume here. So you have a low volume node coinciding with the value area low. You wait for this candle, you put the stop loss here, you are risking per contract $160. In the worst case scenario, if you want to be out really fast, you are risking $160 to make $500.
