If past data is no longer relavent then market profile is no better than a regular price chart. Market profile is not forward looking, nothing is. The next second in the future is completely unknown.

I have been successful over the years with theta positive trading strategies in the Brazilian stock market. It makes me feel good when I check my trading account every year end, and realize that it has grown around 30%, year after year, consistently. What makes me feel even better, is that theta positive strategies (i.e. ATM covered calls) are sort of stress and time-free strategies. I don´t need to monitor the market all day, as I have my stops properly set. The power of compound interest should not be neglected by any trader, even when the rate does not seem attractive at first. Regards, Luiz. Hey Doug, this is a great article.
