For semi and fully automated trading -
In the MicroTrends NinjaTrader Framework there are several derived offerings of market and volume profile.
It is a vastly simplified method which i use myself. I have removed the complexity which i do not require - and ahve built rules that work for me in addition to price analysis of higer time frames on weekyl and daily time scales.

The strategy we have on offer can utilise Market profile if you select it to or Volume Profile. The strategy rules are to trade the signals based on a breakout/levels crossover from the POC or value areas.

Point of Control and Value Area Top, Median, Bottom prior session and current session evolving.
The creation of the POC and Value areas can be based on: VOC, TPO, VWTPO, VTPO - the market profile would be traditionally the TPO method.

Perhaps the strategy should be called VolumeMarketProfile or split out into 2 etc...
