Session Profile

Definition

Session Profile in plain English

A Session Profile is just a picture of where all the trading happened during ONE trading day. Imagine tallying, for every price, how many shares changed hands there today, then turning those tallies sideways into a horizontal bar chart — fat bars at prices lots of people traded, skinny bars where price barely paused. It's the everyday building block traders use because a single session is a clean, self-contained story of who was active and at what prices.
