## Quick Answer

Previous Day Volume Profile is a free FundedReady training course with 5 profile-map simulator reps. It teaches how to mark yesterday's POC, VAH, and VAL, then wait for today's price to accept or reject those levels before risking a click.

## Curriculum

- Level 61: Build the prior-day map - Identify POC, VAH, VAL, prior high, and prior low before today's session starts.
- Level 62: Read the open location - Classify whether price opens inside value, above value, below value, or near an extreme.
- Level 63: Trade value-area re-entry - Wait for price to reject outside value and accept back through VAH or VAL before entering.
- Level 64: Respect the POC magnet - Use POC as a decision zone where rotation can pause, reverse, or accelerate.
- Level 65: Skip failed profile tests - Stand down when a level is touched but acceptance never arrives.

## FAQ

### What is Previous Day Volume Profile?

It is the prior session's volume-at-price distribution. Traders usually mark the previous day's POC, VAH, VAL, high, and low before the next session starts.

### Is POC a buy or sell signal?

No. POC is a reference level where the prior session traded the most volume. This course teaches you to wait for acceptance, rejection, or rotation before acting.

### Can I use this without paid order-flow data?

You can learn the decision framework without paid data. Live trading a real volume profile requires a charting platform and volume data that match the market and session you trade.
