Double distribution

How two distributions form

A session that starts balanced, then moves decisively to a new level and balances again produces two bulges on the profile. The first bulge is the early value area; the second is the later one. The section between them traded quickly and therefore holds little volume: it is a low volume node (LVN), and the volume profile guide on senzoukria.com calls the LVN between the two distributions a decision line.

Each distribution has its own point of control. The profile as a whole still has a single POC, the largest level of the two, but reading the session as one bell would hide the fact that value moved during the day.

Reading the gap

• Price inside the upper distribution and holding there means the later value is being confirmed.
• Price coming back through the LVN toward the earlier distribution means the move is being retraced; the guide describes LVNs as zones price crosses fast, so this transit tends to be quick in either direction.
• The direction of the move between the two distributions tells you which one came first only if you know the time sequence; the profile alone does not show it. TPO letters do.
• A double distribution on a composite or multi-session profile can be two different days' value, not one day's migration.

In Senzoukria

The Market Profile (TPO) overlay on the footprint chart can display TPO letters, where the app's hint states that A is the first bracket of the period, so the order in which the two distributions were built is readable from the letters; the Split columns option keeps each bracket in its own column so the time sequence stays visible. The Volume Profile (session) overlay shows the same two nodes by traded volume. Session POC (developing) draws the migration of the point of control through the session, which jumps from one node to the other when the second distribution overtakes the first.

The Low-volume price levels marker in the indicators list flags price levels whose volume is at most a chosen percentage of the bar's largest level; the note in the app states this is a low-volume threshold, not TPO single prints.

Common mistakes

• Treating a data gap as the LVN between two distributions. A period where the provider delivered no trades produces an empty hole, not a thin node, and must be displayed as missing.
• Assuming the second distribution is the important one because it is more recent. Which value holds is decided by subsequent trade.
• Reading a double distribution on a bar that spans two sessions as one auction.
• Ignoring the single-POC convention: the plotted POC belongs to the larger node, which can hide a nearly equal second node unless you look at the histogram.
