TPO, Part One

This is the written companion to part one of Saint's TPO series, the components. TPO, time price opportunity, is a market profile read through time rather than volume: it shows how long price spent at each level, which is what turns a chart into a map of acceptance and rejection. The document walks the six pieces he trades from, using his own teaching slides as the figures, and keeps every honest limit he states out loud.

The value area holds 68% of the auction, but its high and low are not automatic support or resistance until profiles merge. Merging is the part he flags as untaught, and it is where a weak edge becomes an execution level. Single prints strengthen a thesis rather than trigger one, unfinished highs and lows are take profit areas, and ledges are tradable only with confluence. Part two takes the whole frame to the live chart.
