Previous Day Volume Profile Training Course
Map yesterday's value before today's first click. Trade acceptance, rejection, and failed auctions around VAH, VAL, and POC.
Previous Day Volume Profile turns the prior session into a map: point of control, value area high, value area low, and rejected extremes. This course drills the decision that matters for prop-firm traders: wait for today's price to accept or reject those levels before clicking.
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.
- Mark the prior session first: POC is the highest-volume price, while VAH and VAL define the main value area.
- Open location matters: inside value usually favors patience and rotation; outside value demands proof of acceptance.
- A touch is not a setup. The drill scores the reclaim, rejection, or failed auction after price reacts to the level.
- Use the profile as a decision map, not a signal service or prediction tool.
The 5-level curriculum
Build the prior-day map
Identify POC, VAH, VAL, prior high, and prior low before today's session starts.
Read the open location
Classify whether price opens inside value, above value, below value, or near an extreme.
Trade value-area re-entry
Wait for price to reject outside value and accept back through VAH or VAL before entering.
Respect the POC magnet
Use POC as a decision zone where rotation can pause, reverse, or accelerate.
Skip failed profile tests
Stand down when a level is touched but acceptance never arrives.
