This study tries to highlight support and resistances as they are defined by TradingLatino TradingView user His definition is based on volume peaks on the official TradingView Volume Profile indicator that seem rather big on size.
As a bonus it also serves as a rather simple volume profile indicator. As you can see it only show last blocks volume profile.
It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS HOW IT WORKS - Recent Profile Block It gathers volume from the last 100 Bars in order to draw the recent profile block
Volume that intersects with current level range being studied is added to its value.
Additionally the current level price is modified so that it matches the level price where most of the volume has concentrated
So you get a pretty accurate way of the volume while at the same time the level are not stuck to arbitrary level prices.
HOW IT WORKS - Resistances and Supports It calculates the level which its price it's nearer (from below) to the current price level
Resistance is found steping up (from current prive level) level by level till you find a level which its value is higher than the previous level value.
Support is found steping down (from current prive level) level by level till you find a level which its value is higher than the previous level value.
That way you ignore rather small resistances and support values.
Finally the resistances and supports are drawn next to the recent profile block so that you can look at them with ease.
If you hover over the label you can double check if you are looking at current price, resistance or support levels.
SETTINGS Bars in recent profile block [100]: How many previous period volumes are used to calculate the recent profile block Row width multiplier [0.6]: Adjust how big the recent profile block seems to be Resistances prices number of decimal digits [2]: How many digits is shown at the resistance and support level prices.
WARNING Please be aware that depending on your security and timeframe you might need to modify the 'Bars in recent profile block' setting so that the study does not timeout.
USAGE If your strategy calculates take profit limits on higher resistances based on volume you could use this indicator resistance detector
FEEDBACK 1 This is my first volume indicator. I suppose that each trader has his own approach on defining resistances and supports.
I'm interested on knowing if the default way this resistances and supports are calculated matches what other traders would have highlighted manually on the chart.
FEEDBACK 2 I have only used this identifier in BTCUSDT 4h timeframe. I'm interested to know what needs to be tweaked in other securities and timeframes.
PINE STUDY TRICK This study let's you choose the number of decimals the label will use.
CREDITS I have reused and adapted some code from 'Poor man's volume profile' study which it's from TradingView IldarAkhmetgaleev user.
I also wanted to thank him for helping me understanding his study.
Release Notes
⋅
Now the label positions match the label prices written on them as anyone would expect.
There's also a new 'Avoid label price overlaps' mode for those users that want to use an alternate mode that makes sure labels do not overlap even if it means that the label position won't match the label price. This mode forces the labels to be printed at the top, middle and bottom of the recent block profile.
Release Notes
⋅
Now by default the Volume Profile is calculated using 1 day data
New option to switch between custom number of bars and 1 day
New setting: Volume Profile resolution (1 day, 1 hour, ...)
Added Volume Point of Control (VPoC) level
Slight change of colours
Release Notes
⋅
Overall changes:
Now when two labels share the same level the VPoC is shown.
Label tooltips now show also the price so that it's easier to check prices when the labels overlap.
Presentation has been improved and many settings added to tweak it.
New settings:
Improve label price overlaps horizontally {True}
Volume Profile width (in bars) {15}: Volume Profile can be make larger or smaller in width thanks to this option.
Volume Profile offset (in bars) {5}: Volume Profile can be shown more to the left or to the right if the defaults do not suit you.
Volume Profile lines width (in pixels) {2}.
Volume Profile labels size {small}.
Volume Profile offset between labels (in bars) {2}. How many bars between labels to minimize horizontal overlaps. It will only be taken into account if 'Improve label price overlaps horizontally' is set to True.
Show tick difference from current price {False}. BETA. Feedback needed.

Graph was updated to focus on this indicator only.
I have been doing more tests of the 1 hour timeframe indicator, with XMRUSDT, DOTUSDT works very well. Achieve research on the indicator you get better results to enter short when all lines are above the yellow line (control volume) and to trade long when the lines are below the yellow line (All of the above as investigated by the indicator). What if I can't find is an exit point from the trade or take profit, as the lines repaint someone if you can guide me.

@Leorey9710021,
So the VPoC is working as a magnet for you. That's interesting.
Do you keep the default '1 day' Volume Profile timeframe on the indicator settings?
Yes, the lines repaint so that the indicator is always updated.
Maybe you should take a look at my other study: "Historic VPoCs and pseudo VPVR" where you should make sure to change the 'VPVR Number of bars' settings from the default 100 to 24.
This would paint you the VPVR Volume Profile for 1 day ( 24 bars of 1 hour equals 1 day) as the profile you are using right now.
Then you can maybe use the Historic VPoC lines (also based on 1 day) to know when to exit.
Maybe you can try it and leave a message there and tell us if it helped you.

@ruckard, Well at the moment I have not made any changes in volume profile timeframe, I have worked in 1 day. What if I have an inconvenience is when to take profit or exit point from the trade. Volume profile offset changes it to 2 bars. I will study and follow your suggestions in changing volume profitle from 1 day to 24 bars.
If you have suggestions on take profit or exit of the trade I would appreciate it. Thank you

Nice work.
I will adjust the code for MES Micro e-mini Futures. This will be for the 5 min chart and bar value will be based on ticks. Each tick is $1.25. I will adjust and add to the script until it works.
Cheers

@forestcall, Thank you.
As you are mentioning ticks be aware that this study assumes a 24h/7d market.
So no explicit support for weekend gaps.
Feel free to share your work via pm to see if I can merge it into the original study.

@forestcall, What about dividing the suggested level price by syminfo.mintick, floor it so that it's an integer and then multiply it times the syminfo.mintick ?
It seems pretty straight-forward to me.
Unless you want each bar level height to be the same as the syminfo.mintick value, that's another beast.
Hello I was testing de indicator in 1 horu time frame, Algo, Zrx, Iost, Link, but I want to figure out what means, red line, blue, yellow ( biggest ), and green line, so, and this volume line repaint.
2. Which direction must be the price do, touch the yellow line and then pullback ?
Thanks

@Leorey9710021, Blue line is current price level. Red line is resistance level. Green line is support level. The yellow line is the Volume Point of Control (VPoc) level.
