How to Trade Market Profile Single Prints

This concise video from Futures Prop Trader focuses entirely on one of Market Profile’s most actionable concepts — single prints. In just over 8 minutes, the presenter explains what single prints are, why they form, and how traders can use them for both trade entries and profit targets.

Single prints occur when the market moves rapidly through a price area, spending only one time period (TPO) at those prices. This leaves an “unfilled” area in the profile that represents an incomplete auction. The market has a tendency to return to these areas to complete the auction, making single prints reliable reference points for future price action.

The video demonstrates how to identify single prints on a TPO chart, how to distinguish between single prints that are likely to be filled quickly versus those that may persist for days, and how to incorporate them into a trading plan. The presenter shows practical examples of using single prints as profit targets when trading from the value area and as potential reversal zones when price approaches them.

This is a great quick-reference video for traders who want to add single print analysis to their Market Profile toolkit. The focused nature of the content makes it easy to absorb and immediately apply. While brief, the concepts covered are applicable across any market where TPO charts are available.
