hard · Volume Profile Analysis

A Volume Profile shows a 'D-profile' shape. During the session, an institutional participant must execute a large buy order using an Implementation Shortfall (IS) algorithm.

What is the most likely 'footprint' of this activity on the chart?

  1. A series of small market orders executed exactly every 5 minutes regardless of volume.
  2. Front-loaded volume at the session open with diminishing participation and a bullish price extension.
  3. High volume concentrated only at the session close to match the closing imbalance.
  4. A perfectly symmetric distribution of volume across the entire 24-hour range.
