Ranked Profile (Sorted Profile)
Volume Profile Analysis glossary · Volume Profile Technicals
Definition
A display of multiple session sub-profiles side-by-side, sorted by a criterion for comparative pattern analysis.
Ranked Profile (Sorted Profile) in plain English
Imagine taking several separate trading sessions, drawing a little volume chart for each one, then lining them all up side by side and re-ordering them by some rule — busiest to quietest, or highest-priced to lowest. That re-ordered lineup is a Ranked (or Sorted) Profile, and the whole point is spotting patterns your eye would miss if the sessions were just in calendar order. It's like laying out a week of your daily step-count charts and sorting them by total steps, so your most and least active days jump right out for comparison.
