When a contract opens during a particular TPO, the first thirty minutes of trading for that
contract are plotted using the letter of the TPO that was in progress at the opening. Subsequent
trades are plotted using the letter of the TPO in progress at the beginning of the corresponding
30-minute interval. For example, if the opening time of the day session for a symbol is 7:20
a.m., the y TPO applies. The second thirty minutes of trading, which starts at 7:50 a.m.,
corresponds to the z TPO.
For time periods shorter than 30-minutes, a TPO applies to the same 30-minute period. For
example, a 5-minute Market Profile would contain six 5-minute A TPOs.
