How do you tell where the market accepts or rejects price?

Volume profile shows you where trade actually happened, not just where price went — the fat parts of the profile are prices the market accepted, and the thin parts are prices it rejected. Reading that difference tells you where value sits and where price is likely to move fast.

What is a volume profile?

A normal chart plots price over time. A volume profile turns that on its side: it plots how much volume traded at each price level. Levels where a lot of business changed hands build a wide "shelf"; levels that barely traded leave a thin gap. Instead of asking "when did price move?", it asks "where did buyers and sellers actually agree to do business?"

What do acceptance and rejection look like?

• Acceptance: price spends time and volume at a level, building a wide node. The market is comfortable there — this is value. The single highest-volume price is the Point of Control (POC), the level price keeps returning to.
• Rejection: price pokes into a level and leaves almost no volume behind — a thin, single-print zone. The market refused those prices, and they tend to be revisited quickly or to act as a barrier.

How can you use this when you trade?

Value areas and the POC behave like magnets and fences. Price tends to gravitate back toward a high-volume node and stall there, while thin zones tend to be crossed quickly — little volume means little resistance. A common read: when price leaves the value area and fails to find acceptance, it often snaps back toward the POC. You are not predicting the future; you are locating where buyers and sellers have already shown their hand.

Where can you see this in Forex Command?

Forex Command's TPO / Market Profile window builds this picture for you: a volume-profile histogram with a buy/sell split, the value area and POC marked, plus fair-value-gap and order-block overlays. It turns "where does the market accept or reject price?" from a gut feeling into something you can point at on the chart.
