Time Profile [QuantVue]The Time Profile indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of volume and time-based price activity. The indicator combines two essential components into one indicator: the volume profile and the time profile.
The volume profile represents the distribution of trading volume at different price levels over a specified period and is displayed as a circle on the chart.
It provides a visual representation of where the majority of trading volume occurred and often highlights significant support and resistance levels. The volume profile is calculated as the closing price of the highest volume intraday bar, based on the user selected lower time frame.
On the other hand, the time profile focuses on analyzing the time spent at certain price levels. The indicator divides the current bars range into 10 blocks and counts the number of user selected lower time frame closes within each time block.
The block with the most lower time frame closes in it is deemed the time point of control. Traders can use this information to identify time blocks where price movement was most significant.
The time profile is drawn on the Y axis of the current bar to allow for an easy visualization of where price spent most of its time. Historical time profiles are also noted on previous bars with a dash marking the level.
The Time Profile indicator offers several customization options. Traders can adjust the timeframe for the lower time frame data, decide whether to display the time profile, and customize colors for visual clarity.
Additionally, traders can choose to highlight instances where the Volume POC and Time POC align, indicating a strong concentration of volume and price activity.
Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
We hope you enjoy!

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table)Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) Indicator: Functionality and Uses
Overview: The Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator is a technical analysis tool that highlights key volume-based support and resistance levels across multiple timeframes. It leverages volume profile concepts – specifically the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL) – to identify “liquidity zones” where trading activity was heaviest . Unlike a standard single-timeframe volume profile, this indicator compiles data from several timeframes (e.g. monthly, weekly, daily, intraday) and displays the results in a convenient table format on the chart. The goal is to give traders a consolidated view of important price levels (derived from volume concentrations) across different horizons, helping them plan trades with a broader market perspective.
Purpose and Functionality of the Indicator
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: The primary objective of this indicator is to simplify multi-timeframe analysis of volume distribution. Rather than manually checking volume profiles on separate charts for each timeframe, the tool automatically calculates the key levels for each selected timeframe and presents them together. This includes higher-level perspectives (like monthly or weekly volume hotspots) alongside shorter-term levels (daily or hourly), ensuring that traders don’t miss significant zones from any timeframe . By offering a broader perspective on support and resistance levels, multi-timeframe tools help improve risk management and signal confirmation , and this indicator is designed to provide that volume-based perspective at a glance.
Table Format Display: Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) specifically presents the information as a table (as opposed to plotting lines on the chart). Each row in the table typically corresponds to a timeframe (for example, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4H, 1H, 30M, 15M), and the columns list the calculated POC, VAH, VAL, and possibly the average volume for that timeframe’s look-back period. By structuring the data in a table, traders can quickly read off the exact price levels of these liquidity zones without having to visually trace lines. This format makes it easy to compare levels across timeframes or note where multiple timeframes’ levels cluster near the same price – a sign of especially strong support/resistance. The indicator uses a user-defined number of bars or length of history for each timeframe to calculate these values (so you can adjust how far back it looks to define the volume profile for each period).
Objective: In summary, the functionality is geared toward identifying high-liquidity price zones across multiple time scales and presenting them clearly. These high-liquidity zones often coincide with areas where price reacts (stalls, reverses, or accelerates) because a lot of trading activity (hence, orders and volume) took place there in the past. The indicator’s objective is to alert the trader to those areas in advance. It effectively answers questions like: “Where are the major volume concentration levels on the 1-hour, daily, and weekly charts right now?” and “Are there overlapping volume-based support/resistance levels from different timeframes around the current price?” By compiling this information, the indicator helps traders incorporate context from multiple timeframes in their decision-making, without needing to flip through numerous charts.
Identifying Liquidity Zones with POC, VAH, and VAL
Liquidity Zones Defined: In market terms, a “liquidity zone” is an area of the chart where a significant amount of trading occurred, meaning high liquidity (many buyers and sellers exchanged volume there). These zones often act as support or resistance because past heavy trading indicates consensus or interest around those price levels. This indicator identifies liquidity zones through volume profile analysis on each timeframe’s recent price action. Essentially, it looks at the distribution of trading volume at different prices over the specified period and finds the value area – the range of prices that encompassed the majority of that volume (commonly around 70% of the total volume ). Within that value area, it pinpoints the Point of Control (POC), which is the single price level that had the highest traded volume (the peak of the volume profile) . The upper and lower boundaries of that high-volume range are marked as Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) respectively . Together, the VAH and VAL define the liquidity zone where the market spent most of its time and volume, and POC highlights the most traded price in that zone.
• Point of Control (POC): The POC is the price level with the greatest volume traded for the given period. It represents the price at which the most liquidity was exchanged – effectively the market’s “center of gravity” for that timeframe’s trading activity . The indicator calculates the POC for each selected timeframe by scanning the volume at each price; the price with maximum volume is flagged as that timeframe’s POC. In the table, the POC might be highlighted or listed as a key level (sometimes traders color-code it or mark it for emphasis). Because so many positions were opened or closed at the POC, it often serves as a strong support/resistance. For example, if price falls to a major POC from above, traders expect buyers may step in there (since it was a popular buy/sell level historically), potentially causing a bounce. Conversely, if price breaks through a POC decisively, it may signal a significant shift in market acceptance.
• Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL): The VAH and VAL are the price boundaries of the value area, which is typically defined to contain about 70% of the total traded volume for the period . In other words, between VAH and VAL is where the “bulk” of trading occurred, and outside this range is where relatively less volume traded. The indicator derives VAH/VAL by accumulating volume from the highest-volume price (POC) outward until ~70% of volume is covered (this is a common method for volume profile value area). VAH is the top of this high-volume region and VAL is the bottom. These levels are important because they often act like support/resistance boundaries: when price is inside the value area, it’s in a high-liquidity zone and tends to oscillate between VAH and VAL; when price moves above VAH or below VAL, it’s leaving the high-volume zone, which can indicate a potential trend or imbalance (price entering a lower-liquidity area where it might move faster until finding the next liquidity zone). Traders watch VAH/VAL for signs of rejection or acceptance: for instance, a price rally that falters at VAH suggests that level is acting as resistance (sellers defending that high-volume area), whereas if price pushes above VAH, it may continue until the next timeframe’s zone or until it finds new interest. The Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 indicator gives the VAH and VAL for each timeframe, essentially mapping out the upper and lower bounds of key liquidity zones at those scales.
How the Indicator Identifies These: Under the hood, the indicator likely uses historical price and volume data for each timeframe’s lookback window. For each timeframe (say the last 20 weekly bars for a weekly profile, last 100 daily bars for a daily profile, etc.), it constructs a volume profile (a histogram of volume at each price). From that distribution, it finds the POC (highest volume bin) and calculates VAH/VAL around it. The output is a set of numbers (price levels) that mark where those zones lie. In practice, if using the Lines version of this indicator, those levels are drawn as horizontal lines on the chart and labeled by timeframe (e.g., a line at 1.2345 labeled “D POC” for Daily POC) . In the Table version, those values are instead listed in text form. Either way, the identification process is the same – it’s finding the high-volume price regions on each timeframe and calling them out. By doing this for multiple timeframes concurrently, the indicator reveals how these liquidity zones from different periods relate to each other. For example, you might discover that a daily-chart value area overlaps with a weekly-chart POC, creating a particularly strong zone of interest. This kind of insight is hard to get from a single timeframe analysis alone.
Volume Profile Data Across Multiple Timeframes
Multiple Timeframes in One View: One of the biggest advantages of this indicator is the ability to see volume profile information from various timeframes side by side. Traders often perform multiple timeframe analysis to get a fuller picture — for instance, checking monthly or weekly levels for long-term context while planning a trade on a 4-hour chart. This indicator automates that process for volume-based levels. The table will typically list each chosen timeframe (which could be preset or user-selected). For each timeframe, you get the POC, VAH, VAL, and possibly an average volume metric. The “average volume” likely refers to the average volume per bar or the average volume traded over the profile’s duration for that timeframe, which gives a sense of how significant that period’s activity is. For example, a weekly profile might show an average volume of say 500k per week, versus a daily profile average of 80k per day – indicating the scale of trading on weekly vs daily. High average volume on a timeframe means its liquidity zones were formed with a lot of participation, possibly making them more reliable support/resistance. By comparing these, traders can gauge which timeframes had unusually high or low activity recently. The table format makes such comparisons straightforward.
Identification of Confluence: Because all the data is presented together, traders can quickly spot confluence or overlaps between timeframes. If two different timeframes show liquidity zones at similar price levels, that price becomes extremely noteworthy. For instance, suppose the indicator shows: a 1-hour POC at 1.1300, a 4-hour VAL at 1.1280, and a daily VAL at 1.1290. These are all in a tight range – effectively indicating a multi-timeframe liquidity zone around 1.1280–1.1300. A trader seeing this cluster in the table will recognize that as a strong support area, since multiple profiles from intraday to daily all suggest heavy trading interest there. Similarly, overlaps of VAH (resistance zone) from different timeframes could signal a strong ceiling. The multi-timeframe view prevents a trader from, say, going long into a major weekly POC above, or shorting when there’s a huge monthly value-area low just below – situations where awareness of higher timeframe volume structure can make the difference between a good and bad trade.
User Customization: The indicator is flexible in that you can typically adjust which timeframes to include and how many bars to use for each timeframe’s calculation. For example, one might configure it to calculate monthly levels using the past 12 monthly bars (1 year of data), weekly levels using the past 20 weeks, daily using 100 days, etc., depending on preference. By tuning the “bars count” or period length , the trader can focus on recent liquidity zones or incorporate more history if desired. Shorter lookback might catch more recent shifts in volume distribution (important if the market structure changed recently), while longer lookback gives more established levels. This customization ensures the indicator’s output can be tailored to different trading styles (short-term vs swing vs long-term investing). Regardless of settings, the multi-timeframe table allows simultaneous visibility of the chosen timeframes’ volume landscape. This comprehensive view is the core strength: it consolidates data that normally requires flipping through multiple charts.
Using the Liquidity Zones Data for Trading Decisions
Traders can use the information from the MTF Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator in several practical ways to enhance their decision-making:
• Identify Support and Resistance: Each liquidity zone acts as a potential support or resistance area. For example, if the table shows a daily VAH at a certain level above the current price, that level might serve as resistance if the price rallies up to it (since it marks the top of a high-volume region where sellers might step in). Conversely, a weekly VAL below current price could act as support on a dip. By noting these levels in the table, a trader planning an entry or exit can anticipate where the price might stall or reverse. Essentially, you get a map of high-interest price levels from different timeframes, which you can mark on your trading chart for guidance.
• Plan Entries and Exits Around Key Levels: Many traders incorporate volume profile levels into their strategies, for instance: buying near VAL (betting that the value area will hold and price will revert upward), or selling/shorting near VAH (expecting the top of value to hold as resistance), or trading breakouts when price moves outside the value area. With the multi-timeframe table, one can refine these tactics by also considering higher timeframe levels. Suppose you see that on the 1-hour chart the price is just above its 1H POC, but the table indicates that just slightly above, there’s also the daily POC. You might delay a long entry until price clears that daily POC, because that could be a stronger intraday barrier. Or if you intend to take profit on a long trade, you might choose a target just below a weekly VAH since price may struggle to climb past that on the first attempt. The indicator thus acts as a guide for precision in entry/exit decisions, aligning them with where liquidity is high.
• Gauge Trend Strength and Directional Bias: By observing where current price is relative to these volume zones, traders can infer certain market conditions. For instance, if price is trading above the VAH of multiple timeframes’ value areas, it suggests the market is in a more bullish or overextended territory (price accepted above prior value), whereas if price is below multiple VALs, it’s in bearish or undervalued territory relative to recent history. If the price stays around a POC, it indicates consolidation or equilibrium (market comfortable at that price). Traders can use this context for bias – e.g., if price is above the weekly VAH, you might lean bullish but watch for potential pullbacks to that VAH level (now a support). If price is below the monthly VAL, you might avoid longs until it re-enters that value area. In essence, the liquidity zones provide context of value vs. price: is price trading within the high-volume areas (implying range-bound behavior) or outside them (implying a breakout or trending move)? This can prevent chasing trades at poor locations.
• Combine with Other Indicators/Analysis: It’s generally advised to not use any single indicator in isolation, and this holds true here. The liquidity zones from this indicator are best used alongside price action or other technical signals for confirmation . For example, if a bullish candlestick reversal pattern forms right at a confluence of a 4H VAL and Daily POC, that’s a stronger buy signal than the pattern alone. Or if an oscillator shows overbought exactly as price hits a weekly VAH, it adds conviction to a possible short. The indicator’s table basically gives you a shortlist of critical price levels; you can then watch how price behaves at those levels (via candlesticks, order flow, etc.) to make the final trade decision. Traders might set alerts for when price approaches one of the listed levels, or they might drop down to a lower timeframe to fine-tune an entry once a key zone is reached. By integrating this volume-based insight with trend analysis, chart patterns, or momentum indicators, one can make more informed and high-probability decisions rather than trading in the dark.
• Risk Management and Stop Placement: High-liquidity zones can also inform stop-loss placement. Ideally, you want your stop on the other side of a strong support/resistance. If you go long near a VAL, you might place your stop just below the VAL (since a move beyond that suggests the high-volume zone didn’t hold). If you short near a VAH, a stop just above the VAH or POC could be logical. Moreover, if multiple timeframes show overlapping zones, a stop beyond all of them could be even safer (albeit at the cost of a wider stop). The indicator helps identify those spots. It also warns you of where not to put a stop – for example, placing a stop-loss right at a POC might be unwise because price could gravitate to that POC repeatedly (due to its magnetic effect as a high-volume price). Instead, a trader might choose a stop beyond the far side of the value area. By using the table’s information, you can align your risk management with areas of high liquidity, reducing the chance of being whipsawed by normal volatility around heavily traded levels .
Benefits of the Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones Indicator
Using the Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator offers several key benefits for traders, ultimately aiming to streamline analysis and improve decision quality:
• Consolidated Key Levels: It provides a clear, consolidated view of crucial volume-driven levels from multiple timeframes all at once . This saves time and ensures you always account for major support/resistance zones that come from higher or lower timeframe volume clusters. You won’t accidentally overlook a significant weekly level while focused on a 15-minute chart, for example.
• Enhanced Multi-Timeframe Insight: By aligning information from long-term and short-term periods, the indicator helps traders see the “bigger picture” while still operating on their preferred timeframe. This multi-scale awareness can improve trade timing and confidence. You’re effectively doing multi-timeframe analysis with volume profiles in an efficient manner, which can confirm or caution your trade ideas (e.g., a trend looks strong on the 1H, but the table shows a huge monthly VAH just overhead – a reason to be cautious or take profit early).
• Improved Decision Making and Precision: Knowing where liquidity zones lie allows for more precise entries, exits, and stop placements. Traders can make informed decisions such as waiting for a pullback to a value area before entering, or taking profits before price hits a major POC from a higher timeframe. These decisions are grounded in objectively important price levels, potentially leading to higher probability trades and better risk-reward setups. It essentially enhances your strategy by adding a layer of volume context – you’re trading with an awareness of where the market’s interest is heaviest.
• Volume-Based Confirmation: Price alone can sometimes be deceptive, but volume tells the true story of participation. The liquidity zones indicator provides volume-based confirmation of support/resistance. If a price level is identified by this tool, it’s because significant volume happened there – adding weight to that level’s importance. This can help filter out false support/resistance levels that aren’t backed by volume. In other words, it highlights high-quality levels that many traders (and possibly institutions) have shown interest in.
• Adaptable to Different Trading Styles: Whether one is a scalper looking at intraday (15M, 5M charts) or a swing trader focusing on daily/weekly, the indicator can be configured to those needs. You choose which timeframes and how much data to consider. This means the concept of liquidity zones can be applied universally – from spotting intraday pivot levels with volume, to seeing long-term value zones on an investment. The consistent methodology of POC/VAH/VAL across scales provides a common framework to analyze any market and timeframe.
• Informed Risk Management: As discussed, the knowledge of multi-timeframe volume zones aids in risk management. By placing stops beyond major liquidity areas or avoiding trades that run into strong volume walls, traders can reduce the likelihood of whipsaw losses. It’s an extra layer of defense to ensure your trade plan accounts for where the market has historically found lots of interest (hence likely friction). This level of informed planning can be the difference between a well-managed trade and an avoidable loss.
In conclusion, the Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Zones V6 (Table) indicator serves as a powerful analytical aid, giving traders a structured view of where price is likely to encounter support or resistance based on volume concentrations across timeframes. Its functionality centers on identifying those liquidity zones (via POC, VAH, VAL) and presenting them in an easy-to-read format, while its ultimate purpose is to help traders make more informed decisions. By integrating this tool into their workflow, traders can more confidently navigate price action, knowing the objective volume-based landmarks that lie ahead. Remember that while these volume levels often coincide with strong S/R zones, it’s best to use them in conjunction with other technical or fundamental analysis for confirmation . When used appropriately, the indicator can streamline multi-timeframe analysis and enhance your overall trading strategy , giving you an edge in identifying where the market’s liquidity (and opportunity) resides.
Open Interest Profile [Fixed Range] - By LeviathanThis script generates an aggregated Open Interest profile for any user-selected range and provides several other features and tools, such as OI Delta Profile, Positive Delta Levels, OI Heatmap, Range Levels, OIWAP, POC and much more.
The indicator will help you find levels of interest based on where other market participants are opening and closing their positions. This provides a deeper insight into market activity and serves as a foundation for various different trading strategies (trapped traders, supply and demand, support and resistance, liquidity gaps, imbalances,liquidation levels, etc). Additionally, this indicator can be used in conjunction with other tools such as Volume Profile.
Open Interest (OI) is a key metric in derivatives markets that refers to the total number of unsettled or open contracts. A contract is a mutual agreement between two parties to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price. Each contract consists of a long side and a short side, with one party consenting to buy (long) and the other agreeing to sell (short). The party holding the long position will profit from an increase in the asset's price, while the one holding the short position will profit from the price decline. Every long position opened requires a corresponding short position by another market participant, and vice versa. Although there might be an imbalance in the number of accounts or traders holding long and short contracts, the net value of positions held on each side remains balanced at a 1:1 ratio. For instance, an Open Interest of 100 BTC implies that there are currently 100 BTC worth of longs and 100 BTC worth of shorts open in the market. There might be more traders on one side holding smaller positions, and fewer on the other side with larger positions, but the net value of positions on both sides is equivalent - 100 BTC in longs and 100 BTC in shorts (1:1). Consider a scenario where a trader decides to open a long position for 1 BTC at a price of $30k. For this long order to be executed, a counterparty must take the opposite side of the contract by placing a short order for 1 BTC at the same price of $30k. When both long and short orders are matched and executed, the Open Interest increases by 1 BTC, indicating the introduction of this new contract to the market.
The meaning of fluctuations in Open Interest:
- OI Increase - signifies new positions entering the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Decrease - indicates positions exiting the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Flat - represents no change in open positions due to low activity or a large number of contract transfers (contracts changing hands instead of being closed).
Typically, we monitor Open Interest in the form of its running value, either on a chart or through OI Delta histograms that depict the net change in OI for each price bar. This indicator enhances Open Interest analysis by illustrating the distribution of changes in OI on the price axis rather than the time axis (akin to Volume Profiles). While Volume Profile displays the volume that occurred at a given price level, the Open Interest Profile offers insight into where traders were opening and closing their positions.

Open Interest Profile (OI)- By LeviathanThis script implements the concept of Open Interest Profile, which can help you analyze the activity of traders and identify the price levels where they are opening/closing their positions. This data can serve as a confluence for finding the areas of support and resistance , targets and placing stop losses. OI profiles can be viewed in the ranges of days, weeks, months, Tokyo sessions, London sessions and New York sessions.
A short introduction to Open Interest
Open Interest is a metric that measures the total amount of open derivatives contracts in a specific market at a given time. A valid contract is formed by both a buyer who opens a long position and a seller who opens a short position. This means that OI represents the total value of all open longs and all open shorts, divided by two. For example, if Open Interest is showing a value of $1B, it means that there is $1B worth of long and $1B worth of short contracts currently open/unsettled in a given market.
OI increasing = new long and short contracts are entering the market
OI decreasing = long and short contracts are exiting the market
OI unchanged = the net amount of positions remains the same (no new entries/exits or just a transfer of contracts occurring)
About this indicator
*This script is basically a modified version of my previous "Market Sessions and Volume Profile by @LeviathanCapital" indicator but this time, profiles are generated from Tradingview Open Interest data instead of volume (+ some other changes).
The usual representation of OI shows Open Interest value and its change based on time (for a particular day, time frame or each given candle). This indicator takes the data and plots it in a way where you can see the OI activity (change in OI) based on price levels. To put it simply, instead of observing WHEN (time) positions are entering/exiting the market, you can now see WHERE (price) positions are entering/exiting the market. This is the same concept as when it comes to Volume and Volume profile and therefore, similar strategies and ways of understanding the given data can be applied here. You can even combine the two to gain an edge (eg. high OI increase + Volume Profile showing dominant market selling = possible aggressive shorts taking place)
Green nodes = OI increase
Red nodes = OI decrease
A cluster of large green nodes can be used for support and resistance levels (*trapped traders theory) or targets (lots of liquidations and stop losses above/below), OI Profile gaps can present an objective for the price to fill them (liquidity gaps, imbalances, inefficiencies, etc), and more.
Indicator settings
1. Session/Lookback - Choose the range from where the OI Profile will be generated
2. OI Profile Mode - Mode 1 (shows only OI increase), Mode 2 (shows both OI increase and decrease), Mode 3 (shows OI decrease on left side and OI increase on the right side).
3. Show OI Value Area - Shows the area where most OI activity took place (useful as a range or S/R level )
4. Show Session Box - Shows the box around chosen sessions/lookback
5. Show Profile - Show/hide OI Profile
6. Show Current Session - Show/hide the ongoing session
7. Show Session Labels - Show/hide the text labels for each session
8. Resolution - The higher the value, the more refined a profile is, but fewer profiles are shown on the chart
9. OI Value Area % - Choose the percentage of VA (same as in Volume Profile's VA)
10. Smooth OI Data - Useful for assets that have very large spikes in OI over large bars, helps create better profiles
11. OI Increase - Pick the color of OI increase nodes in the profile
12. OI Decrease - Pick the color of OI decrease nodes in the profile
13. Value Area Box - Pick the color of the Value Area Box
14. Session Box Thickness - Pick the thickness of the lines surrounding the chosen sessions
Advice
The indicator calculates the profile based on candles - the more candles you can show, the better profile will be formed. This means that it's best to view most sessions on timeframes like 15min or lower. The only exception is the Monthly profile, where timeframes above 15min should be used. Just take a few minutes and switch between timeframes and sessions and you will figure out the optimal settings.
This is the first version of Open Interest Profile script so please understand that it will be improved in future updates.
Thank you for your support.
** Some profile generation elements are inspired by @LonesomeTheBlue's volume profile script
Advanced Market Profile & S/R Zones (Pro)Advanced Market Profile & S/R Zones
This indicator brings professional Auction Market Theory to your chart using a custom rolling Volume Profile algorithm. Unlike standard profiles that remain fixed, this tool dynamically calculates the "Fair Value" of the asset based on your specific lookback period (e.g., the last 100 bars).
It automatically highlights the Point of Control (POC), Value Area (VA), and suggests statistical Discount (Buy) and Premium (Sell) zones.
Key Features
Volume Splitting Algorithm:
Most basic scripts dump the entire volume of a candle into a single price point (the average). This script splits the volume across the candle's entire High-Low range. This results in a much smoother, higher-resolution bell curve that accurately reflects price action, especially on higher timeframes like Monthly charts.
Auto-generated Zones:
Green Zone (Discount): Prices below the Value Area Low (VAL). Statistically "cheap."
Red Zone (Premium): Prices above the Value Area High (VAH). Statistically "expensive."
Real-Time Dashboard:
A built-in panel displays the exact price levels for the POC, VAH, and VAL for precise limit order placement, along with the current Market Trend.
How to Use
For Intraday (Day Trading):
Settings: Set Lookback to 100 - 300.
Strategy: Watch for price to open outside the Value Area. If price breaks back inside the Value Area, target the POC (Red Line).
For Macro (Monthly/Weekly Charts):
Settings: Set Lookback to 12 (1 Year) or 60 (5 Years).
Strategy: Identify multi-year structural support. When a monthly candle enters the Green Discount Zone of a 5-year profile, it is often a high-probability institutional entry point.
Trend Logic
The Dashboard indicates trend based on price location relative to value:
Strong Bullish: Price is accepted ABOVE the Value Area.
Strong Bearish: Price is accepted BELOW the Value Area.
Neutral / In VA: Price is chopping inside the Value Area.
Disclaimer
This is a "Rolling Profile." It calculates the profile based on the current lookback window relative to the latest bar. As new bars form, the lookback window shifts, and the profile updates to reflect the new dataset.
Low Volatility Profiles [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Low Volatility Profiles is a market compression and breakout-anticipation tool that identifies phases of low volatility using ADX and then builds a real-time volume profile inside the detected range.
This helps traders spot accumulation/distribution zones and prepare for explosive moves when volatility expands.
When volatility is low ➜ price coils ➜ volume organizes ➜ breakouts become highly actionable.
This tool visualizes that process with dynamic range boxes + volume bins + PoC extension.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Low-Volatility Detection — Uses ADX threshold & cross logic to define volatility contraction regimes.
Range Construction — Draws a price box that expands with highs/lows during the compression phase.
Micro Volume Profile — Builds a volume histogram inside the range using bins (micro volume nodes).
Delta Calculation — Tracks positive vs negative volume to gauge buyer/seller pressure within range.
Point of Control (PoC) — Highlights the price level with max traded volume inside the range.
PoC Extension — Optionally extends PoC into future bars to show potential reaction zone after breakout.
Breakout Validation — Ends the profile zone when price breaks above or below the modeled range.
Noise Removal — Automatically removes invalid or small ranges to prevent chart clutter.
This tool turns consolidation into actionable structure by exposing where smart money accumulates before trending moves.
🔵 FEATURES
ADX-Driven Range Detection — Identify when market transitions into low-volatility compression.
Configurable ADX Threshold — Set sensitivity for contraction zones.
Cross-Type Option — Detect low volatility via cross under / crossover logic.
Dynamic Range Box — Expands live with price as contraction unfolds.
Micro Volume Profile (Bins) — Distributes volume across bins inside range for micro POC mapping.
Volume Delta Visualization — Shows imbalance inside consolidation (accumulation vs distribution).
Real-Time PoC Highlight — Instantly shows most traded price inside the compression.
PoC Extension Mode — Extend PoC forward to project reaction levels post-breakout.
Clean Auto-Reset Logic — Removes boxes if range invalid or breakout occurs too fast.
Optional Filled Boxes — Heatmap-style profile visualization inside range body.
ADX Line + Threshold Plot — Visual assistance for volatility state monitoring.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Identify Accumulation Zones — When price enters low-volatility ADX condition and profile builds.
Watch the PoC — PoC acts as battle zone; move above/below can signal initiator strength.
Breakout Strategy — Trade break above/below the range after compression.
Mean Reversion Inside Range — Fade edges while price remains inside compression box.
Combine With Trend Tools — Use trend confirmation (MA/EMA/Flow indicators) after breakout.
Use Delta Clues — Positive delta tilt suggests accumulation; negative suggests distribution.
Monitor Range Size — Longer build + high PoC volume = stronger potential breakout energy.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Low Volatility Profiles isolates accumulation phases and maps volume concentration before volatility expansion.
By combining ADX compression, micro volume distribution, and PoC tracing, traders gain an edge in anticipating powerful breakout cycles and institutional positioning.
Trade the quiet moment before the storm — where smart money prepares the move, and the real opportunity emerges.
Volume Cluster Heatmap [BackQuant]Volume Cluster Heatmap
A visualization tool that maps traded volume across price levels over a chosen lookback period. It highlights where the market builds balance through heavy participation and where it moves efficiently through low-volume zones. By combining a heatmap, volume profile, and high/low volume node detection, this indicator reveals structural areas of support, resistance, and liquidity that drive price behavior.
What Are Volume Clusters?
A volume cluster is a horizontal aggregation of traded volume at specific price levels, showing where market participants concentrated their buying and selling.
High Volume Nodes (HVN) : Price levels with significant trading activity; often act as support or resistance.
Low Volume Nodes (LVN) : Price levels with little trading activity; price moves quickly through these areas, reflecting low liquidity.
Volume clusters help identify key structural zones, reveal potential reversals, and gauge market efficiency by highlighting where the market is balanced versus areas of thin liquidity.
By creating heatmaps, profiles, and highlighting high and low volume nodes (HVNs and LVNs), it allows traders to see where the market builds balance and where it moves efficiently through thin liquidity zones.
Example: Bitcoin breaking away from the high-volume zone near 118k and moving cleanly through the low-volume pocket around 113k–115k, illustrating how markets seek efficiency:
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components:
Heatmap Display : Displays volume intensity as colored boxes, lines, or a combination for a dynamic view of market participation.
Volume Profile Overlay : Shows cumulative volume per price level along the right-hand side of the chart.
HVN & LVN Labels : Marks high and low volume nodes with color-coded lines and labels.
Customizable Colors & Transparency : Adjust high and low volume colors and minimum transparency for clear differentiation.
Session Reset & Timeframe Control : Dynamically resets clusters at the start of new sessions or chosen timeframes (intraday, daily, weekly).
Alerts
HVN / LVN Alerts : Notify when price reaches a significant high or low volume node.
High Volume Zone Alerts : Trigger when price enters the top X% of cumulative volume, signaling key areas of market interest.
How It Works
Each bar’s volume is distributed proportionally across the horizontal price levels it touches. Over the lookback period, this builds a cumulative volume profile, identifying price levels with the most and least trading activity. The highest cumulative volume levels become HVNs, while the lowest are LVNs. A side volume profile shows aggregated volume per level, and a heatmap overlay visually reinforces market structure.
Applications for Traders
Identify strong support and resistance at HVNs.
Detect areas of low liquidity where price may move quickly (LVNs).
Determine market balance zones where price may consolidate.
Filter noise: because volume clusters aggregate activity into levels, minor fluctuations and irrelevant micro-moves are removed, simplifying analysis and improving strategy development.
Combine with other indicators such as VWAP, Supertrend, or CVD for higher-probability entries and exits.
Use volume clusters to anticipate price reactions to breaking points in thin liquidity zones.
Advanced Display Options
Heatmap Styles : Boxes, lines, or both. Boxes provide a traditional heatmap, lines are better for high granularity data.
Line Mode Example : Simplified line visualization for easier reading at high level counts:
Profile Width & Offset : Adjust spacing and placement of the volume profile for clarity alongside price.
Transparency Control : Lower transparency for more opaque visualization of high-volume zones.
Best Practices for Usage
Reduce the number of levels when using line mode to avoid clutter.
Use HVN and LVN markers in conjunction with volume profiles to plan entries and exits.
Apply session resets to monitor intraday vs. multi-day volume accumulation.
Combine with other technical indicators to confirm high-probability trading signals.
Watch price interactions with LVNs for potential rapid movements and with HVNs for possible support/resistance or reversals.
Technical Notes
Each bar contributes volume proportionally to the price levels it spans, creating a dynamic and accurate representation of traded interest.
Volume profiles are scaled and offset for visual clarity alongside live price.
Alerts are fully integrated for HVN/LVN interaction and high-volume zone entries.
Optimized to handle large lookback windows and numerous price levels efficiently without performance degradation.
This indicator is ideal for understanding market structure, detecting key liquidity areas, and filtering out noise to model price more accurately in high-frequency or algorithmic strategies.

Smart VWAP FVG SystemSmart VWAP FVG System - Professional Multi-Filter Trading Indicator
📊 OVERVIEW
The Smart VWAP FVG System is an advanced multi-layered trading indicator that combines institutional volume analysis, multi-timeframe VWAP trend confirmation, and Fair Value Gap detection to identify high-probability trade entries. This indicator uses a sophisticated filtering mechanism where signals appear only when multiple independent confirmation criteria align simultaneously.
Recommended Timeframe: 5-minute (M5) or higher. The indicator works best on M5, M15, and M30 charts for intraday trading.
🎯 ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
This indicator is original because it combines three distinct analytical methods into a unified decision-making system:
Market Profile Volume Analysis - Identifies institutional accumulation/distribution zones
Dual VWAP Filtering - Confirms trend direction using two independent VWAP calculations
Fair Value Gap Detection - Validates institutional interest through price inefficiency zones
The key innovation is the directional filter system: the primary Market Profile generates BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY states based on higher timeframe value area reversals, which then controls which signals from the main system are displayed. This creates a multi-timeframe confluence that significantly reduces false signals.
Unlike simple indicator mashups, each component serves a specific purpose:
Market Profile → Direction bias (trend filter)
Primary VWAP (Session) → Short-term trend confirmation
Secondary VWAP (Week) → Medium-term trend confirmation
FVG Detection → Institutional activity validation
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
1. Primary Market Profile Filter (Higher Timeframe)
The indicator calculates Market Profile on a higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) to determine the overall market structure:
Value Area High (VAH): Top 70% of volume distribution
Value Area Low (VAL): Bottom 70% of volume distribution
Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume
When price reaches VAH and reverses down → SELL-ONLY mode activated
When price reaches VAL and reverses up → BUY-ONLY mode activated
This higher timeframe filter ensures you're trading in the direction of institutional flow.
2. Dual VWAP System
Two independent VWAP calculations provide multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
Primary VWAP (Session-based): Resets daily, tracks intraday momentum
Secondary VWAP (Week-based): Resets weekly, confirms longer-term trend
Filter Logic:
BUY signals require: Price > Primary VWAP AND Price > Secondary VWAP
SELL signals require: Price < Primary VWAP AND Price < Secondary VWAP
This dual confirmation prevents counter-trend trades during ranging conditions.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
FVG zones identify price inefficiencies where institutional orders were executed rapidly:
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (upward imbalance)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (downward imbalance)
The indicator monitors recent FVG formation (lookback: 50 bars) and requires:
Bullish FVG present for BUY signals
Bearish FVG present for SELL signals
FVG zones are displayed as colored boxes and automatically marked as "mitigated" when price fills the gap.
4. Main Trading Signal Logic
The secondary Market Profile (default: 1 hour) generates the actual trading signals:
BUY Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area Low
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price > Primary VWAP
Price > Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bullish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = BUY-ONLY or NEUTRAL
SELL Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area High
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price < Primary VWAP
Price < Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bearish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = SELL-ONLY or NEUTRAL
All conditions must be TRUE simultaneously for a signal to appear.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
1. Repainting Behavior
CRITICAL: This indicator uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to access higher timeframe data immediately for FVG detection. This is necessary to provide real-time FVG zone visualization but has the following implications:
FVG zones may shift slightly until the higher timeframe candle closes
FVG detection signals are preliminary until HTF bar confirmation
The main trading signals (triangles) appear on confirmed bars and do not repaint
Best Practice: Always wait for the current timeframe bar to close before acting on signals. The filter status and FVG zones are informational but may adjust as new data arrives.
2. Minimum Timeframe
Do NOT use on timeframes below 5 minutes (M5)
Recommended: M5, M15, M30 for intraday trading
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) can also be used but will generate fewer signals
3. Multiple Filters Can Block Signals
By design, this indicator is conservative. When all filters are enabled:
Signals appear ONLY when all conditions align
You may see extended periods with no signals
This is intentional to reduce false positives
If you see no signals:
Check the Info Panel to see which filters are failing
Consider adjusting FVG lookback period
Temporarily disable FVG filter to test
Verify VWAP filters match current market trend
4. Market Profile Limitations
Market Profile requires sufficient volume data
Low-volume instruments may produce unreliable profiles
Value Areas update only on higher timeframe bar close
Works best on liquid markets (major forex pairs, indices, crypto)
📖 HOW TO USE
Step 1: Add to Chart
Apply indicator to M5 or higher timeframe chart
Ensure chart shows volume data
Use standard candles (NOT Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.)

🎓 UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Market Profile Theory
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile organizes price and volume data to identify:
Value Areas: Where 70% of trading activity occurred
POC: Price level with highest acceptance (most volume)
Imbalances: When price moves away from value quickly
This indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation method to build the volume profile distribution.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume, showing where institutional traders are positioned:
Price above VWAP = Bullish (institutions accumulated lower)
Price below VWAP = Bearish (institutions distributed higher)
Using dual VWAP (Session + Week) creates multi-timeframe trend alignment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Also known as "imbalance" or "inefficiency," FVG occurs when:
Price moves so rapidly that a gap forms in the candlestick structure
Indicates institutional order flow (large market orders)
Price often returns to "fill" these gaps (rebalance)
The 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle and candle ) is widely used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and Smart Money Concepts.

LVN/HVN Auto Detection [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - LVN/HVN Auto Detection
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The PhenLabs LVN/HVN Auto Detection indicator is an advanced volume profile analysis tool that automatically identifies Low Volume Nodes (LVN) and High Volume Nodes (HVN) across multiple trading sessions. This sophisticated indicator analyzes volume distribution patterns to pinpoint critical support and resistance levels where price is likely to react, providing traders with high-probability zones for entries, exits, and risk management.
Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show current activity, this tool builds comprehensive volume profiles from historical sessions and intelligently filters the most significant levels. It combines real-time volume analysis with dynamic level detection, offering both visual bubbles for immediate volume activity and persistent horizontal lines that act as ongoing support/resistance references.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Multi-Session Volume Profile Analysis - Automatically calculates and analyzes volume profiles across the last 5 trading sessions
Intelligent Level Separation Logic - Prevents overlapping signals by maintaining minimum separation between LVN and HVN levels
Dynamic Timeframe Adaptation - Automatically adjusts session lengths based on chart timeframe for optimal level detection
Real-Time Activity Bubbles - Shows volume activity strength through different bubble sizes at key levels
Persistent Line Management - Creates horizontal lines that extend until price crosses them, providing ongoing reference points
Dual Threshold System - Independent percentage-based thresholds for both LVN and HVN identification
🔧 Core Components
Volume Profile Engine : Builds 20-row volume profiles for each analyzed session, distributing volume across price levels
Level Identification Algorithm : Uses percentage-based thresholds to classify volume distribution patterns
Separation Logic : Ensures minimum distance between conflicting levels, prioritizing HVN when overlap occurs
Line Management System : Tracks active support/resistance lines and removes them when price crosses through
Volume Activity Monitor : Compares current volume to 13-period moving average for activity classification
🔥 Key Features
Customizable Thresholds : LVN threshold (5-35%, default 20%) and HVN threshold (65-95%, default 80%) for precise level filtering
Volume Activity Multiplier : Adjustable volume threshold (0.5+, default 1.5) for bubble and line creation sensitivity
Flexible Display Modes : Choose between Lines only, Bubbles only, or Both for optimal chart clarity
Smart Level Separation : Minimum separation percentage (0.1-2%, default 0.5%) prevents conflicting signals
Color Customization : Independent color controls for LVN (red) and HVN (blue) elements
Performance Optimization : Processes every 15 bars with maximum 500 active lines for smooth operation
🎨 Visualization
Colored Bubbles : Three sizes (large, medium, small) indicate volume activity strength at key levels
Horizontal Lines : Persistent support/resistance lines with width corresponding to volume activity
Dual Color System : Semi-transparent red for LVN areas, semi-transparent blue for HVN zones
Information Tooltip : Optional table showing usage guidelines and optimization tips
📖 Usage Guidelines
Volume Thresholds
LVN Threshold
○ Default: 20.0%
○ Range: 5.0-35.0%
○ Description: Price levels with volume below this percentage are marked as LVNs. Lower values create fewer, more significant levels. Typical range 15-25% works for most instruments.
HVN Threshold
○ Default: 80.0%
○ Range: 65.0-95.0%
○ Description: Price levels with volume above this percentage are marked as HVNs. Higher values create fewer, stronger levels. Range 75-85% is optimal for most trading.
Display Controls
Volume Threshold
○ Default: 1.5
○ Range: 0.5+
○ Description: Multiplier for volume significance (High=2+threshold, Medium=1+threshold, Low=0+threshold). Higher values require more volume for signals.
✅ Best Use Cases
Swing Trading : Identify key levels for position entries and exits over multiple days
Scalping : Use bubbles for immediate volume activity confirmation at critical levels
Risk Management : Place stops beyond LVN levels where price moves quickly
Breakout Trading : Monitor HVN levels for potential breakout or rejection scenarios
Multi-Timeframe Analysis : Combine with higher timeframe levels for confluence
⚠️ Limitations
Timeframe Sensitivity : Lower timeframes may produce too many levels; higher timeframes recommended for cleaner signals
Volume Data Dependency : Accuracy depends on reliable volume data from your data provider
Historical Analysis : Uses past volume data which may not predict future price behavior
Performance Impact : High number of active lines may affect chart performance on slower devices
💡 What Makes This Unique
Automated Session Analysis : No manual drawing required - automatically analyzes multiple sessions
Intelligent Filtering : Advanced separation logic prevents overlapping and conflicting signals
Adaptive Processing : Adjusts to different timeframes automatically for optimal level detection
Dual Visualization System : Combines persistent lines with real-time activity indicators
🔬 How It Works
1. Volume Profile Construction :
Analyzes the last 5 trading sessions with dynamic session length based on timeframe
Divides each session’s price range into 20 equal levels for volume distribution analysis
2. Level Classification :
Calculates volume percentage at each price level relative to session maximum
Identifies LVN levels below threshold and HVN levels above threshold
3. Signal Generation :
Creates bubbles when volume activity exceeds thresholds at identified levels
Draws horizontal lines that persist until price crosses through them
💡 Note : For optimal results, increase your chart timeframe if you see too many levels. The indicator performs best on 15-minute and higher timeframes where volume patterns are more meaningful and less noisy.
Open Liquidity Heatmap [BigBeluga]Open Liquidity Heatmap is an indicator designed to display accumulated resting liquidity on the chart.
Unlike any other liquidity heatmap, this aims to accumulate liquidity at specific levels that build up over time, showing larger areas of liquidity.
🔶 FEATURES
The indicator includes the following settings:
Lookback : Used to determine the range calculation of the heatmap.
Leverage : Leverage of the liquidation (Counted as % in price, Example: 4.5 will return a distance from price of 4.5%, indicating any possible resting liquidity in this range).
Levels : Amount of levels to display (Each level is counted as liquidity resting on the chart; fewer levels will return a bigger area of liquidity sitting on the chart).
Mode : Apply a color gradient from the minimum liquidation to the maximum liquidity level. Set the maximum color gradient value (Counted as volume).
Offset : Automatically determine the offset range of the Volume Profiles. Manual offset of the Volume Profiles.
🔶 CALCULATION
for i = 0 to step - 1
float plotter = na
switch i
0 =>
plotter := hs
=>
plotter := hs - diff * ( i )
cls.hm.gnL(plotter)
cls.vp.put(plotter, 0)
We calculate levels like a normal volume profile with steps, from the highest point within the lookback to the lowest one. Each level will contain the corresponding amount of volume that the candle has closed in that range.
As we can see in the image above, we add liquidity each time the distance in % from price is between two levels.
Unlike many liquidity indicators that provide a single candle liquidity heatmap, this aims to add up liquidity (volume) in already present levels.
This can be extremely useful to see which levels are likely to be more liquid and tend to get a bigger reaction to the price.
Imagine it like a range of levels that each time price revisits that area, a new position area is added; we add volume in that area each time price visits that zone. Liquidity builds up in those zones, causing a bigger reaction to the price once the price visits it.
This indicator is not the same as a single candle heatmap like many others. What is a single candle heatmap?
A single candle heatmap is when a level is created on every new candle, coloring the level based on the total volume of it.
This indicator, on the contrary, aims to provide a more specific use by adding up liquidity each time price visits it.
🔶 BASIC DEMOSTRATION
This is a basic demonstration of how we can spot high liquidity points overall using confluence:
We see the POC of the liquidation in a low volume area of the normal volume profile adding up as confluence.
Resistance from the POC Volume Profile suggesting price will go lower.
Major long open liquidity down.
As we can see, price takes out all the long liquidity and right after pumping, indicating that all the major liquidity got taken out.
Some key note to take is that a POC in the liquidation heatmap in a low volume area of the normal Volume Profile add confluence of a possible big reaction in that zone.
In the forex market, we suggest to use a low distance from price (Leverage) while in a crypto market you can use the one that fit the best the current timeframe.
🔶 CONCLUSION
This indicator aims to show open resting liquidity that had built up over time, showing the most amount of liquidation in specific areas in an aggregated way unlike many liquidation heatmap indicators that show single-level liquidation.

Range Analysis - By LeviathanThe Interactive Range Analysis script is an essential tool for analyzing price ranges. It automatically draws important range levels, generates a Volume Profile or Open Interest profile and horizontal/vertical heatmaps, plots the anchored VWAP, draws Fibonacci levels, and much more.
How to use the indicator:
1. The script will prompt you to select the "Start Time" and "End Time" using Tradingview's interactive interface. These two points will determine the length of the range.
2. Once you have selected the range, the script will automatically anchor the range highs and lows to the highest and lowest close/wick/hlc3/ohlc4 (whichever you prefer).
3. You can then begin exploring different tools and options such as Quarters, Eighths, Fibonacci, Outer Levels, VWAP, Horizontal Volume/OI Heatmap, Vertical Volume/OI Heatmap, Fixed Range Volume Profile, Open Interest Profile, Value Area, VAH, VAL, and POC.
4. You can adjust the range by dragging the Start Time and End Time anchors or by removing/reapplying the script.
Tool overview
Range Levels
After selecting your preferred time range, the script will identify and draw a range high level and a range low level, which serve as a base for other important levels. “Half” is the level halfway between the range high and range low. “Quarters” will, as the name suggests, split the range into four equal zones (quarters) and “Eighths” will split the range into eight equal zones (eighths).
”Fibonacci” option allows you to display Fibonacci retracement levels (0.786, 0.618, 0.382, 0.236). “VWAP” will plot a Volume Weighted Average Price, anchored to the start of the range. “Direction” input lets you choose whether your range is UP or DOWN trending in order to make sure that the Fibonacci levels and labels are generated and assigned correctly. With “Outer” turned ON, the script will also generate active levels (quarters/eighths/Fibonacci) above and below the selected price range. “Extend Right” will extend all levels to the right indefinitely, while “Extend (+Bars)” lets you choose how far right the levels get extended. “Diagonal Line” is drawn from the bottom left of the range to the top right of the range or from the top left of the range to the bottom right of the range, depending on the “Direction” input.
Volume Profile / Open Interest Profile
After selecting the “Data Type”, Volume Profile or OI Profile can be generated by turning ON the “Volume/OI Profile” option.
“Resolution” input defines the amount of nodes/rows in the range that are used in profile/heatmap generation for distributing the data. While you can increase the “Resolution” to get better, more granular profiles, you should keep in mind that you might need to lower the resolution when generating profiles for larger ranges.
”Node Type” offers you two options when it comes to the representation of data: Up/Down - divides a node in two sections for up volume/OI and down volume/OI, Total - one node for total volume/OI and Delta - net difference in up volume/OI and down volume/OI.
”Profile Position” lets you choose whether the profile is positioned on the left side of the range or on the right side of the range.
“Profile Direction” determines whether the profile nodes are facing right or left.
“Profile Type” enables you to visualize the nodes in a classic way (Type 1) or in a way where down volume/negative OI are positioned on the left side of the y axis and up volume/positive OI on the right side of the y axis.
“Node Size (%)” defines how much space in the range can be taken by the profile’s nodes. Eg. 50% will allow the largest node to extend to the middle of the range (and others scaled accordingly), 100% will allow the largest node to extend the max right point of the range (and others scaled accordingly).
”Value Area (%)” defines the VA zone, which represents the area where the most volume occured (usually 70% or 68%).
”Horizontal Heatmap” will display a heatmap-like overlay, that will help you identify the price levels where most volume/open interest action occurred.
”Vertical Heatmap” will display a heatmap-like overlay, that will help you identify the points in time where most volume/open interest action occurred.
A more detailed description of this indicator is coming in the next few days.
Important:
* If volume or OI profile does not get generated, try lowering the resolution.
* Once in a while, the script will disappear from your chart. Just remove and reapply.
* Open Interest data is only avaiable on Binance Perpetual Futures pairs

Consolidation Value Zones (Recio)Consolidation Value Zones introduces an original algorithm to identify consolidation ranges and locate areas of importance within them. This new method "looks" at the chart and draws zones based on price with the goal of producing actionable zones which appear natural, as if they were found through a human analysis.
> Consider the following...
The chart image above displays Bitcoin, at no specific date, for no specific reason. What I have done here is simply glanced at the chart for about 5 seconds, and circled a few areas which stood out as "obvious" consolidation. It does not take a savant to look at a chart and circle ranging price. However, what we have just done defies many common systems for identifying consolidation. We have located ranges of various zone lengths, as small as roughly 25 bars to as large as roughly 100 bars. Regardless of this, we still determined these zones with our eyes and brain in a few seconds, for some it's practically instant. The issue with us humans doing this, is that we are subjective. We did not really use any concrete rules to determine these areas with our eyes. So the problem becomes "How do we identify these zones in a way which seems natural to us with a repeatable system?" Because of this, my approach is simply a logical attempt to reverse engineer our human intuition.
> Consolidation Value Zones
The name of this indicator is generic. To dissect it, we are identifying consolidation ranges, then using a volume profile to determine the value zone within that range. The specific method used to identify these consolidation zones is something I've personally been referring to as the "skewer" method. Another name that may fit better is "Linear Range Alignment/Overlap".
Ultimately, the goal is to locate a single price level or range that overlaps many adjacent bars.
This should, in theory, return areas of visually obvious consolidation.
> The Skewer Method (Identification Method & Bar Gap Allowances)
One consistent concept across the different identification methods for determining consolidation is time. How long do we chop around before calling it consolidation? This is the "Identification Threshold". Once we have located a consolidation zone "this" wide, we will then consider it as consolidation.
In the chart image above, we are considering a six-bar consolidation formation. The figure on the left shows an example of a perfect raw bar overlap, we can see that the six bars all overlap at one price range. This is a perfect example of what we are looking to identify as consolidation. Unfortunately, if this was all we looked at, we would have a very scarce identification method.
For that reason, we have the example on the right, which shows the additional allowances for the identification of these ranges. At most, the example on the right shows a gapless three-bar overlap. However, if we allow the identification to bridge across the gaps, we are able to draw a zone directly through the center and still be within our parameters. This allowance is the "Bar Gap Allowance" and will determine the leniency of the identification.
Between our identification threshold and bar gap allowance, we can start to piece together how the script is "looking" at our chart.
> Detecting Consolidation (Live Detection)
To aid in transparency and user understanding, the live detection calculation can be seen on the chart as a box, skewering the recent historical bars with a number next to it, indicating the number of bars found as potential consolidation.
As we can see in the chart image above, the script, by default, is looking for a 15-bar consolidation, with a 5-bar gap allowance. In the image, the specific gap count is labeled, we can see the script scan backwards as far as it can before counting five gaps in the data. Once that occurs, the detection stops.
Notice how the zone found is a range, consisting of all price levels which meet the parameters. The lower level of the range only had two gaps, but the upper level reached five.
> Consolidation Range and Value Zones (Volume Profiles)
Once the script has identified the consolidation formation, it calculates a volume profile across the identified consolidation range. From this it calculates and draws the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area in addition to the full consolidation range.
Once we have our zones drawn, and understand what they identify, we can go one step further and apply concepts from volume profile trading.
Range High/Low: Displays the current extent of the identified consolidation.
Value High/Low: Shows the specific area within the consolidation where buyers and sellers found the most value.
POC: The single point, where the most volume was transacted during consolidation.
In a balanced market, we would anticipate price to rotate around POC, oscillating from Value High (VAH) to Value Low (VAL). In contrast, a market in motion moves directionally, building volume at new price levels as value, naturally the POC shifts with it.
> Zone Extensions
Unlike many other scripts, there is no mitigation logic at play here, since crossing a zone simply tells us "buyers and sellers are not currently active here", but it does not guarantee that value cannot return or react from previous areas of value.
Obviously the current zone will always be most relevant, but historical zones can retain relevance depending on the context of the market.
Remember: Each area of consolidation is an area where buyers and sellers were once facing off, resulting in price's consolidation. Amidst this, the value zone was the area of greatest agreement between the participants at that time. When moving outside of a range, we would typically look at historical value areas and price's interaction with them for further context.
Due to the ever changing market, there is no fixed extension lookback that will cover every scenario. By default, the Extension Lookback is "1", meaning the script will extend the most recent zone forward until a new zone is detected.
Note: For clarity, zone extensions are colored differently from core zones.
The following chart image shows a few examples of these unique interactions.
As seen in the chart image, looking to previous areas of value as well as POC can provide context in the form of acceptance or rejection at these levels, providing further insight into the auction for us to respond to.
The zones do contain logic to maintain a clean display. By default, the zones extend conditionally when price returns to the previous consolidation range. If desired, the zones can be extended regardless of price action; this can be toggled with the option "Regardless Extension Mode", as seen below.
> Hollow Candles & Zone Merging
When consolidation is identified, a hollow candle is drawn; these can be used to see exactly when each zone is identified. It is important to understand that consolidation zones stemming from the same origin are merged into one zone. This is a frequent occurrence when the consolidation threshold is passed, but the consolidation continues. For this reason you will often see multiple hollow candles in the later areas of the zones.
Similarly, zones from different origin points that overlap are also merged into one consolidation zone. This ensures that no core zones overlap.
Additionally, every time a zone is merged, a new volume profile for the area is calculated.
> Bar Gap Allowance Type (Technical Explanation)
The specific bar gap allowance value can be altered, but so can the type of allowance being used. While some analyses may benefit from counting the total amount of bar gaps within the consolidation, others may benefit from detecting based on consecutive bar gaps.
The chart image above displays the gap counts for each gap allowance type.
The total bar gap allowance type will count until the gap amount is reached, then terminate detection once the allowed number of gaps has been exceeded.
The consecutive bar gap allowance type resets its count once it finds a valid bar within range, by doing so, it only counts the bars that separate each island of in-range bars.
Both methods have merit.
> Implementation
This identification method has proven effective to identify consolidation across market types. As a result, there cannot be one configuration of settings to fit every application. Adapting the detection type and method for each trader's specific market conditions is highly recommended.
When determining parameters, it is helpful to consider time, as it plays a major role in the identification method.
On a 1D chart, the default threshold of 15 corresponds to 15 days, or about 3 weeks depending on the ticker. To identify periods of one-week consolidation, a threshold of 5 would be suitable. To detect perfect gapless weeks, a bar gap allowance of 0 could be used, as seen in the chart image below.
Additional Example:
In the chart image above, we see a 15-second forex chart over the span of a few hours. The detection parameters are set up to detect 15-minute consolidation with a 2-minute max dead zone (consecutive bar gap).
> Detection Source
By default, the script detects consolidation ranges using the full extent of candle wicks. While this is traditional, detection can also be done using only the candle bodies. These identifications are much more nuanced, detecting only from confirmed candle price action; they do not trigger at the same frequency as wick detection.
Optionally, a "Wick/Body Average" can be chosen as the source for detection; as the name implies, this uses the average value between the candle body and its respective wick.
> Additional Settings
The settings mentioned thus far serve as core parameters for identifying consolidation. The following parameters are simply included for the benefit of the advanced user. It is not recommended to adjust these settings under normal circumstances.
- Value Area Percent: Default = 68.26, while traditionally 70 for volume profiles, 68.26 is accurate to the values of a standard bell-curve distribution. The differences are minimal in application.
- VP Rows: Default = 99, Sets the number of rows to be used when calculating the Volume Profiles (VP); note that higher values will lead to a slower calculation. Max value: 999
> Final Notes
If you have made it this far, thank you for reading.
I hope you find value in this new consolidation identification system and understand the logic behind it.
That's it.

Market Structure Volume Distribution [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure Volume Distribution tool allows traders to identify the strength behind breaks of market structure at defined price ranges to measure de correlation of forces between bulls and bears visually and easily.
🔶 USAGE
This tool has three main features: market structure highlighting, grid levels, and volume profile. Each feature is covered more in depth below:
🔹 Market Structure
The basic unit of market structure is a swing point, the period of the swing point is user-defined, so traders can identify longer-term market structures. Price breaking a prior swing point will confirm the occurrence of a market structure.
The tool will plot a line after a market structure is confirmed, by default the lines on bullish MS will be green (indicative of an uptrend), and red in case of bearish MS (indicative of a downtrend).
🔹 Grid Levels
The Grid visually divides the price range contained inside the tool execution window, into equal size rows, the number of rows is user-defined so users can divide the full price range up to 100 rows.
The main objective of this feature is to help identify the execution window and the limits of each row in the volume profile so traders can know in a simple look what BoMS belongs to each row.
There is however another use for the grid, by dividing the range into equal-sized parts, this feature provides automatic support and resistance levels as good as any other.
Grid provides a visual help to know what our execution window is and to associate MS with their rows in the profile. It can provide S/R levels too.
🔹 Volume Profile
The volume profile feature shows in a visually easy way the volume behind each MS aggregated by rows and divided into buy and sell volume to spot the differences in a simple look.
This tool allows users to spot the liquidity associated with the event of a market structure in a specific price range, allowing users to know which price areas where associated with the most trading activity during the occurrence of a market structutre.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Data Gathering
Execute on all visible range: Activate this to use all visible bars on the calculations. This disables the use of the next parameter "Execute on the last N bars". Default false.
Execute on the last N bars: Use last N bars on the calculations. To use this parameter "Execute on all visible range" must be disabled. Values from 20 to 5000, default 500.
Pivot Length: How many bars will be used to confirm a pivot. The bigger this parameter is the fewer breaks of structure will detect. Values from 1, default 2
🔹 Profile
Profile Rows: Number of rows in the volume profile. Values from 2 to 100, default 10.
Profile Width: Maximum width of the volume profile. Values from 25 to 500, default 200.
Profile Mode: How the volume will be displayed on each row. "TOTAL VOLUME" will aggregate buy & sell volume per row, "BUY&SELL VOLUME" will separate the buy volume from the sell volume on each row. Default BUY&SELL VOLUME.
🔹 Style
Buy Color: This is the color for the buy volume on the profile when the "BUY&SELL VOLUME" mode is activated. Default green.
Sell Color: This is the color for the sell volume on the profile when the "BUY&SELL VOLUME" mode is activated. Default red.
Show dotted grid levels: Show dotted inner grid levels. Default true.
Fair Value Gap Profiles [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script draws and manages Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones by detecting unfilled gaps in price action and then augmenting them with intra-gap volume profiles from a lower timeframe. It is designed to help traders find potential areas where price may return to fill liquidity voids, and to provide extra detail about volume distribution inside each gap to assess strength and likely mitigation. The script automatically tracks each gap, updates its state over time, and can show which gaps are still unfilled or have been mitigated.
🟠 CONCEPTS
A Fair Value Gap is a zone between candles where no trades occurred, often seen as an inefficiency that price later revisits. The script checks each bar to see if a bullish (low above 2-bars-ago high) or bearish (high below 2-bars-ago low) gap has formed, and measures whether the gap’s size exceeds a threshold defined by a volatility-adjusted multiplier of past gap widths (to only detect significantly large gaps). Once a qualified gap is found, it gets recorded and visualized with a box that can stretch forward in time until filled. To add more context, a mini volume profile is built from a lower timeframe’s price and volume data, showing how volume is distributed inside the gap. The lowest-volume subzone is also highlighted using a sliding window scan method to visualise the true gap (area with least trading activity)
🟠 FEATURES
Visual gap boxes that appear automatically when bullish or bearish fair value gaps are detected on the chart.
Color-coded zones showing bullish gaps in one color and bearish gaps in another so you can easily see which side the gap favors.
Volume profile histograms plotted inside each gap using data from a lower timeframe, helping you see where volume concentrated inside the gap area.
Highlight of the lowest-volume subzone within each gap so you can spot areas price may target when filling the gap.
Dynamic extension of the gap boxes across the chart until price comes back and fills them, marking them as mitigated.
Customizable colors and transparency settings for gap boxes, profiles, and low-volume highlights to match your chart style.
Alerts that notify you when a new gap is created or when price fills an existing gap.
🟠 USAGE
This indicator helps you find and track unfilled price gaps that often act as magnets for price to revisit. You can use it to spot areas where liquidity may rest and plan entries or exits around these zones.
The colored gap boxes show you exactly where a fair value gap starts and ends, so you can anticipate potential pullbacks or continuations when price approaches them.
The intra-gap volume profile lets you gauge whether the gap was created on strong or thin participation, which can help judge how likely it is to be filled. The highlighted lowest-volume subzone shows where price might accelerate once inside the gap.
Traders often look for entries when price returns to a gap, aiming for a reaction or reversal in that area. You can also combine the mitigation alerts with your trade management to track when gaps have been closed and adjust your bias accordingly. Overall, the tool gives a clear visual reference for imbalance zones that can help structure trades around supply and demand dynamics.
Market Core [BigBeluga]MARKET CORE Toolkit
The BigBeluga Market Core Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of advanced trading indicators designed to provide traders with a holistic view of market dynamics, structure, and potential opportunities.
In an ever-evolving market, relying on a single indicator can leave traders vulnerable to gaps in their analysis. The BigBeluga Market Core Toolkit addresses this challenge by integrating a range of complementary indicators that work synergistically to reveal the full picture. From detecting key support and resistance levels to identifying market structure shifts, volume imbalances, inefficiencies or analysis of money flow, this toolkit covers every aspect of market behavior.
⬤ Order Blocks
BigBeluga Order Blocks revolutionize the way traders visualize potential areas of significant market activity. Unlike traditional order block indicators that often result in cluttered, noisy charts, these Order Blocks are designed for clarity and effectiveness. They simulate and predict where large areas of market orders may rest by analyzing volume and volatility, providing excellent support or resistance areas.
The blocks offer cleaner chart presentation with reasonable distribution, volume ratio visualization within each block, and categorization into Strong, High and Balanced blocks.
Additionally, a third line has been introduced to rank order blocks by volume using a modified percent rank method for more precise ranking.
This ranking system uses percentile ranks, a concept commonly used in standardized tests. In the context of order blocks, the percentile rank of a particular order block's volume is interpreted as the percentage of the order blocks strength. This method provides a more nuanced and statistically robust way of comparing and prioritizing order blocks.
Key features:
Cleaner chart presentation with reasonable distribution of blocks
Volume ratio visualization within each block (bullish vs bearish)
Categorization into High and Balanced blocks for easy identification of significant levels
Relative volume percentage and volume delta display
Advanced ranking system using modified percent rank method for volume comparison
These Order Blocks help traders:
Forecast excellent support or resistance areas
Gain insight into the balance of the market at specific levels
Identify significant market levels at a glance
Visualize market imbalances through volume delta
Prioritize order blocks based on their relative volume importance
Make more informed decisions about potential entry and exit points
⬤ Beluga Profile
The Beluga Profile is a revolutionary market analysis tool that transforms complex market data into a clear, intuitive visual narrative. At its core, it combines a Dual-Profile Analysis, merging Delta Volume Profile with Money Flow Profile to give traders a comprehensive view of market dynamics.
The percentage scale on the left side aren't just numbers; they represent the Levels Strength Percentage, a crucial ranking system that immediately draws your attention to the most significant price zones. Complementing this, a heat map overlay brings these strength levels to life, offering an instant, color-coded representation of where the market's most influential areas lie.
To the right, a detailed breakdown of volume and money flow for each level provides the hard data behind the visual cues. This granular information allows you to dive deep into the market's structure, understanding not just where the significant levels are, but why they matter.
Below the main chart, the Delta Volume Bar serves as a foundation, showing the average delta of the volume profile. This bar is more than just a measure of volume – it's a window into the underlying forces driving price movement. Just above this bar, a macro trend indicator in the form of an arrow offers a quick, clear signal of the overall market direction based on these delta volume calculations.
But the Beluga Profile doesn't just show you what's happening – it helps you understand the 'why' and 'how'. The Adaptive Points of Interest feature allows you to customize your analysis, focusing on the areas that matter most to your trading strategy. You can select from various options including Money Flow, Delta+, Delta-, Volume+, and Level % (Highest), tailoring the display to your specific analytical needs. This flexibility ensures you can focus on the most relevant data for your trading style. Real-time Active Price Tracking ensures you're always in sync with the latest market movements.
All of these elements work in concert, creating a symphony of market information. They empower you to:
Spot key price levels with uncanny precision
Foresee potential market turns before they happen
Grasp the quality and strength of price moves
Adjust your strategy on the fly as market conditions shift
Develop a holistic understanding of market structure and participant behavior
Make informed decisions backed by a clear view of the overall market trend
In essence, the Beluga Profile isn't just a tool – it's your market storyteller, translating the complex language of price, volume, and money flow into a narrative that you can understand and act upon with confidence.
⬤ Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
The Smart Money Concepts component of the toolkit focuses on automatically detecting key market structures crucial in technical analysis. It identifies and visualizes Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH) patterns, helping traders spot potential trend reversals and significant market movements. This includes BOS identification when price breaks previous support or resistance and CHOCH detection for potential trend reversals, with automatic detection of both bullish and bearish patterns.
The latest enhancement to this feature adds a new layer of analysis through Delta Volume Calculation. When a BOS or CHOCH is detected, the toolkit calculates the delta volume within the range from the high or low point to the break point. This analysis considers all the candles in this range and determines whether the volume is predominantly bullish, bearish, or neutral.
Bullish Volume: If the delta volume is bullish, a green diamond is plotted at the high or low point, indicating potential upward momentum.
Bearish Volume: If the delta volume is bearish, a red diamond is plotted, suggesting downward pressure.
Neutral Volume: When the volume is neutral, a yellow diamond is displayed, indicating a balance in buying and selling forces.
This visual representation of volume dynamics provides an additional layer of insight, helping traders assess the strength and direction of price movements following a structure break. You can see an example of this on the attached image, where the diamonds clearly indicate the type of volume driving the breakout.
The toolkit also incorporates Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection. Fair Value Gaps represent inefficiencies in the market, where there is an imbalance between buy and sell orders. These gaps often act as magnets for price, potentially leading to future reversals or continuations when filled. The toolkit identifies and highlights these gaps, allowing traders to recognize areas where the market may seek to rebalance.
Additionally, Double Top and Bottom Pattern Detection has been integrated, identifying potential reversal points at these classic price formations. Double tops signal potential bearish reversals after a price peak, while double bottoms suggest potential bullish reversals after a price dip. These patterns can be crucial indicators for traders looking to capitalize on upcoming trend changes.
Smart Money Concepts help traders:
Identify potential trend reversals early with a clearer view of market structure.
Recognize significant changes in market structure and volume participation.
Differentiate between temporary pullbacks and genuine trend changes using volume insights (color coded diamonds).
Shows Fair Value gaps which helps to identify price momentum and inefficiencies in the market.
This enhancement ensures that traders can not only see structural changes but also understand the volume behind those moves, leading to more informed and confident trading decisions.
⬤ Support and Resistance Levels
This powerful tool is designed to identify key price levels in the market, providing traders with a clear visual representation of potential support and resistance areas. It goes beyond simple level identification by incorporating a sophisticated ranking system and adjustable sensitivity.
The grading system of levels is a unique feature that evaluates the significance of high and low points in the price action. It takes into consideration how many times the price has touched or interacted with specific levels. This means that levels which have been tested multiple times are given higher importance in the ranking. For example, a price level that has acted as support or resistance three times will be ranked higher than a level that has only been touched once.
By leveraging this grading system, traders can focus on the most significant levels that have repeatedly influenced price action, potentially improving the accuracy of their trading decisions and risk management strategies.
This Support and Resistance Levels indicator helps traders:
Identify and prioritize potential reversal points based on their historical significance and frequency of price interaction
Set more accurate entry and exit points aligned with key market levels, focusing on those with higher ranking
Understand the hierarchical structure of market support and resistance, distinguishing between major and minor levels
Plan stop-loss and take-profit levels with greater precision, using the ranking to gauge the strength of each level
Adapt their analysis to varying market strengths and volatilities, with the ability to filter out less significant levels
Recognize recurring price patterns and potential breakout levels based on the ranked historical price interactions
⬤ How to Use the Toolkit
Each of these indicators, while powerful on its own, works synergistically with the others to provide a more complete picture of the market.
The strength of this toolkit lies in its ability to analyze the market from multiple perspectives
Combining these advanced trading indicators into a cohesive toolkit empowers traders with a comprehensive, multi-dimensional view of the market that no single indicator could provide on its own. The market's complexity demands an approach that goes beyond relying on just one aspect, such as price action, volume, or order flow. Integrating these diverse indicators creates a robust analytical framework that captures the market from multiple angles, leading to more accurate insights and better-informed decision-making.

Supply, Demand and Equilibrium Zones, Interactive by DGTSupply, Demand and Equilibrium Zones, Interactive
The law of supply and demand is a theory that explains the interaction between the sellers of an asset and the buyers for that asset. The theory defines the relationship between the price of a given asset and the willingness of traders to either buy or sell it. Generally, as price increases, traders are willing to supply more and demand less and vice versa when the price falls.
Simply said, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded, and from the seller's perspective, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied
Equilibrium zones are the price levels where both selling and buying trading activity is high, both sellers and buyres are interested at that price levels. More correctly, there is a great deal of activity on both the buy and sell side and the market stays at that price level for a great deal of time. Supply and demand are balanced or in equilibrium
Supply and Demand Shifts may occur when institutional investors step in, a change in both price and quantity demanded from one point to another
This experimental study attempts to presend Supply, Demand and Equilibrium Zones by measuring traded volume at all price levels on the market over a specified time period. Then the result is plotted as horizontal zones on the finacial isntrumnet's chart that highlights supply, demand and equilibrium zones at specific price levels
It is important for supply, demand and equilibrium zones to understand that time is always a dimension on charts. The quantity demanded or supplied, found along the horizontal axis, is always measured in traded volume of the asset over a given time interval. Longer or shorter time intervals can influence the levels of supply, demand and equilibrium zones
The study is made interactive, which requires the users to select two points on the chart, by simply clicking on the chart. In case the user would like to view different range then just dragging the vertical lines will be enough
By increasing/decreasing values for supply and demand zones or equilibrium zones, you will either get the zones enlarged or detect supply and demand shifts or other equilibrium zones
It is adviced to use this study in conjuction with a Volume Profile study, such as Volume-Profile-and-Volume-Indicator , Volume-Profile-Custom-Range , Anchored-Volume-Profile , and Price-Action-Support-Resistance , where volume profiles presents trading activities at specific price levels and Supply and Demand Zones can be treated as Value Area (they are not exact same but similar) for Volume Profiles

Delta Profile SpaceManBTCDelta Profile SpaceManBTC
Delta Profile SpaceManBTC, provides 2 very useful functions to tradingview traders with increased statistic for their candles in which case they can use to add confluence to their trading style.
Profile Types:
There are 2 main modes as it stands:
Delta Profile: Comes with the ability to show where buyers and sellers are stepping in more aggressively at which points to show a representation of trapped traders easier and aggression in the market.
Volume Profile: Can be used to do the same but in a more pure volume form, as well as allows for an ease in detecting a momentum shift.
Statistic Types: works with all modes
Ask/Bid Ask bid gives you the pure representation of that data showing at which points buyers stepped in and seller stepped in, no additional calculation on top.
Delta Delta shows the difference between, ie delta, for the ask and bid so its easier to view the difference at loss of the exact values used.
Volume Volume, shows the pure volumetric values no explanation of who buyers and sellers are allowing for a clean view of what is happening in the market with no code functionality applied.
The statistics are not isolated to their desired profile type as this provides the ability to use the volume profile type and delta values and vice versa, allowing users to choose which UI representation they want but which data.
This allows users to get both parts of the picture at any one time!
Using the tick data provided i am able to accurately caclulate the information, however this means for historical data there is none until the script is run for a period of time without stopping.
The tool is a method of providing flow data to the tradingview community, it can allow for good confluences at key levels of interaction E.G., key swing points/S/R points is when its accuracy for trading shines and can give you a good understanding of whats
happening at that time in the market.
Highly recommend dialing the ticksize manually. this provides greater consistency, auto ticksize was made for entry level users to quickly get a feel of the indicator but manually tuning to get the data you require without too much noise is very useful.
TO DO:
Sessions: accounting for Asia,Europe and North America
Tick based candles. e.g number of ticks before a new candle is generated.
Quantum Volume Point of Control (VPOC)Many forex traders are familiar with the concepts of volume price analysis as enshrined in Wyckoff’s three laws of effort and result, cause and effect and supply and demand. This is the linear relationship between volume and price. Now with the Volume Point of Control, this relationship is taken to the next level adding the concept of time and inspired by the ideas behind market profile.
The Quantum Volume Point of Control, or VPOC indicator blends ALL THREE of these important aspects of trading into a single powerful and visual indicator.
The Quantum VPOC indicator takes the analysis of volume and price to a higher level, which both complements and expands the VPA relationship. Whilst the Quantum tick volumes indicator considers the relationship between a single volume bar and its associated candle on the price time x-axis or groups of candles and volume bars, the Quantum VPOC indicator analyses the density and intensity of volume over time against price. In other words, the volume price relationship on the y axis. It does this in three distinct ways as follows:
First, the Quantum VPOC indicator constructs the Volume Profile from a set number of bars in history to the most current bar. The Volume Profile is then presented as a vertical histogram shown at the right edge of the chart – a stack of horizontal bars of varying lengths, but of equal height representing the amount of activity at each price level.
Second, the Quantum VPOC analyzes the Volume Profile to find the key price levels where activity is strong and rising, or weak and falling. In other words, the indicator looks for peaks (long bars) of the Volume Profile where price tends to be attracted as these are areas where price was previously accepted. These are called High Volume Nodes (HVN). The indicator also looks for troughs or valleys (short bars) of the Volume Profile where price tends to be repelled as these are areas where price was previously rejected. These are referred to as Low Volume Nodes (LVN). Both types of price level act as precise zones of support and resistance and as such are projected across the chart within the given period.
Third, the Quantum VPOC indicator looks for the Highest Volume Node or the highest peak in the Volume Profile and marks it as the Volume Point of Control – the price level which acts as the fulcrum from which price pivots. The indicator completes its calculations and updates as each new volume bar is delivered.
The result is a chart revealing the overarching influence of volume at price, coupled with time.
The Quantum VPOC indicator displays several key pieces of information on the chart as follows:
- Volume Profile – this appears as a histogram of volume on the vertical price axis on the right-hand side of the chart. The peaks and troughs are clearly displayed highlighting both High and Low Volume nodes.
- High volume node (HVN) – this is where we have a bulge in the volume profile generally because of an extended phase of price congestion. As a result, as the market approaches these regions on the chart price action is likely to become waterlogged with further congestion likely with the node acting as a strong area of support or resistance. As we have seen a strong acceptance of price at this level in the past, this is likely to be repeated with the market swinging in a range. Ultimately the market may reverse off these levels, with any move through then confirming the current sentiment.
- Low volume node (LVN) – this is where we see low volume in the volume profile. In these regions, the market has only paused temporarily – in other words a region where price has been rejected in the past. As such we are likely to see the market move quickly through these regions with little in the way of resistance or support acting to prevent a further advance of decline in price. The current sentiment is likely to continue and build quickly through these levels.
- Support and Resistance Zones – these are drawn at the High and Low Volume nodes to highlight the various HVN and LVN levels on the price axis.
- Volume Point of Control Line – this is drawn as a single line on the highest volume of the High Volume Node in the timeframe and clearly defines the tipping point of sentiment. This moves dynamically and represents the fulcrum of market sentiment where price has reached agreement, before moving on. If it is above the price action, then the current market sentiment is bearish. If it is below the current price action, then the current market sentiment is bullish. The VPOC Line reveals this balance simply, quickly, and clearly allowing you to judge market sentiment with accuracy and confidence.
As with all the Quantum Trading indicators, the VPOC indicator is dynamic, constantly changing and updating to reflect the relentless shift in sentiment as the market moves from bullish to bearish and back again. The indicator works in all timeframes and provides a powerful and much deeper understanding of support and resistance through the prism of volume and the associated High and Low Volume Nodes, with the Point of Control itself, acting as the fulcrum of the market.
