how it works
What each part of Perfiltrade does, explained with everyday examples, and what you can expect from it. No signals, no promises.
Perfiltrade shows you what the price of a future (ES, NQ, gold, oil, currencies...) does according to the day's structure, and how many times the same thing happened in the past.
It works like an almanac for the market: instead of guessing what the day will be like, you look at how much it usually moves, when it usually sets its extremes and how often something happened over 16+ years of data, always with its sample.
It gives you no buy or sell signals, does not connect to your broker and does not place orders. It helps you decide with data and review how you decide.
What do IB, VAH, POC and base rate mean?
in plain words
Before looking at numbers you need to know how to read them. The Initial Balance (IB) is the range of the session's first hour; the Value Area is the zone where most of the trading took place; the base rate is the historical frequency of something happening.
apples and oranges
Think of a market fair: the first hour tells you where buyers and sellers gather. If prices later leave that area, something changed; if they come back, the fair is still balanced.
Learn
Short 5-minute lessons on Market Profile and the IB.
Getting started
Every tool explained, with when to use it.
What to expect: By the end you understand the words the rest of the platform uses.
What it is not: It is not a course to make you profitable; it is the vocabulary to read the statistics.
What is the market doing right now?
in plain words
A panel showing, for 25 instruments, whether price sits above, below or inside the Initial Balance, plus a chart with the structure drawn on it.
apples and oranges
It is an airport board: it does not decide where you travel, but it shows at a glance which flights are leaving, which are delayed and which are cancelled.
Events, expected range and historical probabilities in a single view, with the European session and every time also in your local time.
Price against the IB, per instrument.
Session structure with its historical data alongside.
Candles with the IB, VAH/POC/VAL and the TPO profile on top.
Profile
Letter profiles of previous sessions: POC, value area, tails and naked POCs.
Roll & carry
Which contract holds the liquidity and when it moves to the next one.
What to expect: In under a minute you know which instruments have something happening and where price sits relative to the structure.
What it is not: Prices may be delayed: to execute, always verify on your platform.
How many times has this happened before, and how much does that sample weigh?
in plain words
18 core reports and 24 more in the archive across 30 instruments: gaps, IB breakouts, retracements, overnight sessions, weekdays. Every figure comes with its n (how many cases) so you know how much to trust it.
apples and oranges
It is like checking a city's weather history before heading out: it does not say whether it rains today, it says how often it rained on similar days and how many days that figure rests on.
The full catalog of statistics per instrument, with CSV download and a read-only API.
First the patterns that survive the false-discovery control, each with its sample.
Reaction to the release
How the indices react to CPI, NFP, FOMC and other releases, minute by minute.
How markets move against each other and around macro releases.
What to expect: You go from 'I think' to a frequency with its sample and its date range.
What it is not: A past probability is not a promise: a 60% does not happen 4 times out of 10.
What else is going on around it?
in plain words
Positioning of large participants (COT, 17 instruments), an events calendar and a plain-language market summary to start the day.
apples and oranges
Before going out sailing you check the forecast and the state of the sea: it does not change your destination, but it changes how warmly you dress.
Changes and moves
Every market at a glance: changes, unusual moves and roll status.
A summary of the day built from the platform's data.
Regime & curve
An AI macro read three times a day.
How commercials and speculators are positioned.
Economic events that move price.
What to expect: You know which days bring data and which markets have positioning at an extreme, with what followed those extremes (equal to chance).
What it is not: The COT is published with a weekly lag: it is background context, not timing.
Can I query all of this by chatting?
in plain words
Cerebro AI answers questions using the platform's real data and shows where each figure came from, instead of making it up.
apples and oranges
It is an assistant with every report open in front of it: you ask 'what happens on Mondays with the ES gap?' and it answers with the figure and its sample.
Natural-language questions about the portal's data.
What to expect: You save time searching across reports and get an answer with its limits.
What it is not: It is data analysis, not an investment recommendation.
Does my result stand apart from chance?
in plain words
The Lab takes a setup's historical trades and reshuffles them thousands of times (Monte Carlo) to separate what is robust from what depended on order. It also splits history in two: train on one part, test on the other. For ES and NQ it includes a minute-by-minute backtest of 4H trend, Fibonacci and structure break.
apples and oranges
It is like testing a recipe several times with different ingredients: if it only turns out well one day, it was luck; if it turns out well almost always, it starts to be a recipe.
Your trading against random days and sides, Monte Carlo, validation, funded accounts and 4H + Fibonacci structure.
What to expect: Sometimes the result will be 'this is no different from chance'. Knowing that before risking money is also a valuable result.
What it is not: A backtest does not guarantee future results and does not include all of your broker's real costs.
Am I trading the way I said I would?
in plain words
The Journal stores your trades with your emotional state and whether you followed your plan, and compares them with the historical data for the same setup. The risk calculator tells you how many contracts fit your stop.
apples and oranges
It is a coach's notebook: it does not play for you, but it shows in which games you lose your composure (for instance, after a loss) and what it costs you.
Trade history, emotion, plan and analytics; imports CSV.
Position size from your stop and your risk.
Mentor view
The journals your students share with you, read-only and with their permission.
What to expect: Within weeks you see your own patterns: hours, setups and emotional states where your process holds together or comes apart.
What it is not: It does not place orders or connect to your broker; you log or import.
What you do get
What it does not do or promise
before you try it
We would rather you know before creating an account. Perfiltrade is for preparing and reviewing the session with statistics, not for executing it.
