How to Trade the AMD Pattern With Volume Profile

Accumulation, manipulation, distribution.

If you see this, what do you do? Give me 32 seconds, and I'll show you how to catch a clean entry using the volume profile.

So first, go to the 30-minute timeframe.

Mark the accumulation. For this example, we are in a bullish trend, so we wait for a manipulation designed to trap aggressive retail sellers.

And now this is secret. Go to the left side of TradingView and select the fixed range volume profile.

Pull it across the accumulation range. You'll instantly see three key levels: the value area high, the point of control, and the value area low.

The POC is the strongest level because it shows you exactly where the most trades were executed within that range.

Now watch what happens when price comes back to this level, because the way price reacts here will determine what we do next.

When it breaks through, buyers are back in control, but that's not your entry signal.

We now need the retest and confirmation. There it is.

Perfect entry, insane risk-to-reward. You just learned how to actually trade the AMD pattern.
