We are day traders, who use the two-way auction process to identify intraday imbalances that can be profited from. 
We utilize market profile, order flow, and market internals to create a probabilistic based discretionary trading strategy. 
With SlayTrader we offer retail traders the opportunity to evolve and deepen their understanding of the market’s mechanics and their personal psychology. 
The assertion that “there is nothing so practical as a good theory” highlights the importance of understanding, not just predicting, market behavior.  Many traders focus on prediction, neglecting the “why” behind market movements.  Market Profile provides this understanding, using the analogy of an auction to explain market dynamics.  It analyzes price and volume data to reveal the current balance between buyers and sellers, offering a granular, “bottom-up” perspective rather than relying on broad macroeconomic forecasts. 
Market Profile’s strength lies in its ability to *identify*, not predict, market conditions. It provides context by analyzing price movements across multiple timeframes, helping to distinguish between true breakouts and probes of existing value areas.  By understanding *why* the market is behaving as it is (e.g., value shifts, acceptance/rejection of moves outside the value area), traders can build confidence and improve decision-making.  This understanding fosters a positive trading psychology more effectively than simply focusing on emotional management. 
Market profile exemplifies this approach, emphasizing understanding market mechanics over prediction.  Trading without a theoretical framework like Market Profile is ultimately trading without understanding—a fundamentally impractical approach.
