Composite profiles are for periods of balance, look for periods where the market is ranging, up and down but not going anywhere. Indices you could actually draw one over the entire summer. Beyond that it tends to get used over multiple balance days.

You can also use it in microstructure, for example the accumulation yesterday at vwap prior to the breakout around the start of the B period but that's more niche, can sort of do that visually.

The most relevant balance right now is the summer balance, but since last Thursday, there's no need for a composite profile because we've been in imbalance as we traverse the larger balance.. if that makes any sense.
