Volume Profile + Price Action Strategy (POC-based)

This indicator combines volume dynamics, price action patterns, and a simplified Point of Control (POC) to highlight potential high-probability trade zones.
🔍 Key Features
POC-Based Logic
Plots the POC from the most recent closed 10-minute candle as a horizontal level for intraday structure.
Volume Spike Detection
Highlights unusual activity based on volume compared to the average of the last N candles.
Effort vs. Result Analysis
Based on Wyckoff-inspired logic:
Signal Highlights
🔺 Absorption Signals (below bar, teal triangle)
🔻 False Move Signals (above bar, orange triangle)
🔷 POC Line
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
You can control signal sensitivity with these inputs:
Volume Spike Multiplier
Raise to filter only extreme volume spikes
→ Recommended: 2.0 to 3.0 for cleaner setups
Absorption Body Ratio
Lower to detect only very small bodies (tight candles)
→ Try 0.3 to 0.4 for stricter absorption logic
False Move Body Ratio
Raise to catch only large candles on low volume
→ Use 2.0+ to filter weak moves
🧠 How to Use
Use in confluence with:
✅ Signal Tuning Tips
Want fewer but cleaner signals?
Want more frequent signals?
📊 Recommended Timeframe
Optimized for 10-minute charts
Works intraday, especially around session opens and POC re-tests

Volume Spike Detection
Highlights unusual activity based on volume compared to the average of the last N candles.
Effort vs. Result Analysis
Based on Wyckoff-inspired logic:
- Absorption: Large volume, small body → possible buyer/seller absorption
- False Move: Small volume, large body → potential fakeout
- Price Action Recognition Detects:
- Inside Bars
- Pin Bars
- Engulfing Candles

🧠 How to Use
Use in confluence with:
- Support/Resistance
- VWAP or moving averages
- Session opens/closes
- Best on 10-minute charts, but adjustable
✅ Signal Tuning Tips
Want fewer but cleaner signals?
- Increase Volume Spike Multiplier: 2.5+
- Decrease Absorption Body Ratio: 0.3
- Increase False Move Ratio: 2.0+
Want more frequent signals?
- Lower Volume Multiplier: 1.2–1.5
- Raise Absorption Ratio: 0.6+
- Lower False Move Ratio: 1.2–1.4
