In the above image we show a double distribution being formed by the upper

profile labeled Bell 2 (Bell Curve 2), the separation is essentially a volume void

where little volume has traded at price. This is also known as a low-volume

node (LVN). The LVN is the buying area during the next retest.

In the above example price has traded into the upper bell curve, if price were to

trade lower down into the LVN, the trader would have the perfect opportunity for

a long entry. This is known as the FTR Double Distribution Buy Setup.

As you can see the point of control in the lower profile (Bell 1) Shows a rising

POC, this will tend to skew the profile to the upside. This means volume (value)

is being built higher. It is telling us that there are higher lows built into the price
