Volume Profile + VAH, VAL, and POCWhat it is
A clean, on-chart volume profile that approximates your visible range using a configurable Bars Back window. It builds a horizontal histogram of volume by price, splits each price bin into Buy vs Sell volume, draws POC, and computes Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL). A Stealth Mode toggle switches to a subtle grayscale palette for low-key charts.
Why this instead of the built-in VPVR?
Buy/Sell split per bin: See which prices were defended by buyers vs sellers, not just total volume.
Value Area from POC outward: Classic expansion method until the selected % of total volume (default 70%).
Sleek borders & Stealth Mode: Crisp bin outlines and a one-click professional colorway.
Deterministic & fast: No sessions or anchors needed—set your Bars Back and go.
How it works (under the hood)
Window selection – Pine can’t read your viewport, so we approximate it with Bars Back (user input).
Binning – The window’s price range is divided into N bins.
Volume allocation – For each bar in the window:
Distribute Across Hi–Lo (optional): Spread volume across all bins the bar overlaps, weighted by overlap; or
Single-price mode: Assign all volume to one bin using a representative price (hlc3).
Buy/Sell split (two methods):
Body Proportional (recommended): Split by relative up/down body size (|close−open|).
Up/Down Candle: 100% buy if close ≥ open, else 100% sell.
POC & VA: Point of Control is the bin with max total volume. VAH/VAL expands from POC toward the higher-volume neighbor until the selected % of total volume is included.
Reading the visuals
Horizontal bars (right side): Total volume per price bin.
Left sub-segment = Sell volume
Right sub-segment = Buy volume
POC line: Price level with peak total volume.
VAH / VAL (dashed): Upper and lower bounds of the selected Value Area.
Borders: Each bin has a clean outer outline so the profile looks tight and organized.
Stealth Mode: Grayscale palette that preserves contrast without loud colors.
Key inputs (organized for clarity)
Theme
Stealth Mode: Toggles the grayscale look.
Core
Price Bins: Vertical resolution of the profile.
Lookback (Bars): Approximates your visible range.
Style
Profile Width (bars): How far the histogram extends to the right.
Bin Border Width: Outline thickness.
Markers & Lines
Show POC, Show VAH/VAL, Value Area %, VA line width.
Advanced
Distribute Volume Across Hi–Lo: More accurate, heavier compute.
Buy/Sell Split Method: Body Proportional (realistic) or Up/Down (simple).
Tips & best practices
Start with Body Proportional + Distribute Across ON for intraday accuracy.
If the chart lags, reduce Price Bins or Bars Back, or switch off distribution.
For small windows, fewer bins often looks cleaner (e.g., 30–60).
Stealth Mode plays nicely with both dark and light chart themes.
Limitations & notes
Viewport: Pine can’t access the actual visible bars; Bars Back is a practical stand-in.
Buy/Sell split: This is an approximation from candle bodies, not true bid/ask delta.
Designed for overlay; profile renders to the right of the latest bar.

StdDev Supply/Demand Zone RefinerThis indicator uses standard deviation bands to identify statistically significant price extremes, then validates these levels through volume analysis and market structure. It employs a proprietary "Zone Refinement" technique that dynamically adjusts zones based on price interaction and volume concentration, creating increasingly precise support/resistance areas.
Key Features:
Statistical Extremes Detection: Identifies when price reaches 2+ standard deviations from mean
Volume-Weighted Zone Creation: Only creates zones at extremes with abnormal volume
Dynamic Zone Refinement: Automatically tightens zones based on touch points and volume nodes
Point of Control (POC) Identification: Finds the exact price with maximum volume within each zone
Volume Profile Visualization: Shows horizontal volume distribution to identify key liquidity levels
Multi-Factor Validation: Combines volume imbalance, zone strength, and touch count metrics
Unlike traditional support/resistance indicators that use arbitrary levels, this system:
Self-adjusts based on market volatility (standard deviation)
Refines zones through machine-learning-like feedback from price touches
Weights by volume to show where real money was positioned
Tracks zone decay - older, untested zones automatically fade
HTF POC with Zones & AlertsPlots a Point of Control (POC) per candle from a timeframe you choose (MTF). Because TradingView doesn’t expose true footprint data, the POC here is a proxy (choose: Body Mid, Range Mid, or Typical Price HLC3). The script draws the POC line and an optional POC zone (±% of that candle’s range), then alerts when price retests the zone (wick touches count).
Use it to:
Mark key levels inside candles that often act as magnets or reaction zones
Track retests of strong bars (imbalance) across higher timeframes
Add clean confluence with S/R, FVGs, or trend tools
Features: Selectable TF, zone width, extend lines/zones, historical caps, alerts, and info panel.
Note: This is an estimate of POC from OHLC, not real bid/ask volume. Use as context, not a standalone signal.

Prev Week POC Buy/Sell Signals
Hi, I’m Edward. I created a straightforward strategy for swing traders (4hr or 8hr timeframe users). This strategy is for traders that are not interested to look at charts all day long, 2 times a day max, but still be profitable.
The indicator:
Print a buy signal when the price closes above the previous week's Point of Control (POC).
Stay in the trade until the price closes below the previous week's POC, then print a sell signal.
The indicator calculates the weekly POC using a basic volume profile method, then tracks the previous week's POC for signals.
Previous week POC is valid from Monday to Thursday. By close of business on Thursday, the current week trend and POC should be well established and should be used make buy or sell decisions. Enjoy!
David_FairPriceCandlestick_calculatedDescription:
This indicator displays the "Typical Price" for each candle as a visual marker (cross) directly on the chart. The Typical Price is calculated as the average of the High, Low, and Close values of each bar:
(High + Low + Close) / 3
The marker provides a quick visual reference to the fair or average price level within every single candle.
Unlike a Point of Control (POC) or volume-based indicators, this script works purely with price data and is independent of volume or order flow.
Use cases:
Identify where most trading activity may have been concentrated within the candle (for price-based strategies)
Support as a reference line for mean-reversion or fair value concepts
Works on all timeframes and instruments
Customization:
You can easily change the marker style (cross, dot, triangle, etc.) and color within the script.
Overnight Bias: Net Long/Short with PercentOvernight bias can assist with NY session gap fades or gap and go trading once the NY session is open.
Some general gap rules are:
1. Gap Direction Aligned with Overnight Bias
Rule: If the NY session gaps up and the overnight bias is Net Long (e.g., >60% of bars above the overnight open), favor longs.
Confirmation: Look for price to hold above overnight open or VWAP.
Invalidation: If price re-enters the overnight range, reassess.
2. Gap Opposing Overnight Bias (Contrarian Setup)
Rule: If the NY opens opposite the overnight bias, expect potential gap fill or reversal.
Trade Bias: Look for retracement back toward the overnight open or VWAP.
Example: Overnight was Net Long, but NY gaps down → wait for reclaim of VWAP to go long, else fade strength.
3. Gap Into Prior Day Value Area (VAH to VAL)
Rule: If the NY session gaps into the prior day value area:
It implies mean reversion behavior.
Expect price to rotate toward the POC (point of control).
Trade Bias: Fade toward POC if overnight bias is balanced or opposite the gap direction.
4. Gap Outside Prior Day Value Area
Rule: A gap above VAH or below VAL suggests potential breakout or new trend day.
Trade Bias: If overnight bias aligns (e.g., gap above VAH + Net Long overnight), consider trend continuation.
Invalidation: If price breaks back inside the prior day value area, watch for failed breakout → fade trade possible.
5. Gap Above Prior Day High / Below Prior Day Low
Rule: This is a true breakout gap.
Above Prior High + Net Long Bias: Look for continuation.
Below Prior Low + Net Short Bias: Look for sell pressure continuation.
Trade Bias: Use pullbacks to the prior high/low or overnight open for continuation setups.
6. Gap Within Prior Day Range
Rule: If the NY open is within the prior day’s high and low, expect chop or balanced conditions.
Trade Bias: Use overnight VWAP and prior POC as decision zones. Be cautious unless a breakout occurs.
7. Failed Gap and Re-entry into Prior Day Range
Rule: If price gaps above prior high but re-enters the prior range, it's a failed breakout.
Trade Bias: Look for a fade back to VAH or POC.
Confirmation: Watch for breakdown below overnight VWAP or failure to hold overnight open.
8. Gap + Overnight VWAP Divergence
Rule: If price gaps opposite the direction of VWAP (e.g., VWAP rising, gap down), wait for confirmation.
Trade Bias: Be cautious with early trades. Bias may flip if VWAP is reclaimed.
9. Gap + Overnight Open Test
Rule: If price opens with a gap and then retests the overnight open, that level becomes a decision zone.
Trade Bias:
Hold above = trend continuation.
Rejection = gap fill or reversal.
10. Unfilled Gap = Trend Bias
Rule: If the gap remains unfilled for the first 30–60 minutes, it increases the odds of a trend day.
Trade Bias: Trade pullbacks in the direction of the gap and overnight bias.
Should anyone have suggestion to add please do so.
Dynamic Liquidity Depth [BigBeluga]
Dynamic Liquidity Depth
A liquidity mapping engine that reveals hidden zones of market vulnerability. This tool simulates where potential large concentrations of stop-losses may exist — above recent highs (sell-side) and below recent lows (buy-side) — by analyzing real price behavior and directional volume. The result is a dynamic two-sided volume profile that highlights where price is most likely to gravitate during liquidation events, reversals, or engineered stop hunts.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Two-Sided Liquidity Profiles:
Plots two separate profiles on the chart — one above price for potential sell-side liquidity , and one below price for potential buy-side liquidity . Each profile reflects the volume distribution across binned zones derived from historical highs and lows.
Real Stop Zone Simulation:
Each profile is offset from the current high or low using an ATR-based buffer. This simulates where traders might cluster their stop-losses above swing highs (short stops) or below swing lows (long stops).
Directional Volume Analysis:
Buy-side volume is accumulated only from bullish candles (close > open), while sell-side volume is accumulated only from bearish candles (close < open). This directional filtering enhances accuracy by capturing genuine pressure zones.
Dynamic Volume Heatmap:
Each liquidity bin is rendered as a horizontal box with a color gradient based on volume intensity:
- Low activity bins are shaded lightly.
- High-volume zones appear more vividly in red (sell) or lime (buy).
- The maximum volume bin in each profile is emphasized with a brighter fill and a volume label.
Extended POC Zones:
The Point of Control (PoC) — the bin with the most volume — is extended backwards across the entire lookback period to mark critical resistance (sell-side) or support (buy-side) levels.
Total Volume Summary Labels:
At the center of each profile, a summary label displays Total Buy Liquidity and Total Sell Liquidity volume.
This metric helps assess directional imbalance — when buy liquidity is dominant, the market may favor upward continuation, and vice versa.
Customizable Profile Granularity:
You can fine-tune both Resolution (Bins) and Offset Distance to adjust how far profiles are displaced from price and how many levels are calculated within the ATR range.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator calculates an ATR-based buffer above highs and below lows to define the top and bottom of the liquidity zones.
Using a user-defined lookback period, it scans historical candles and divides the buffered zones into bins.
Each bin checks if bullish (or bearish) candles pass through it based on price wicks and body.
Volume from valid candles is summed into the corresponding bin.
When volume exists in a bin, a horizontal box is drawn with a width scaled by relative volume strength.
The bin with the highest volume is highlighted and optionally extended backward as a zone of importance.
Total buy/sell liquidity is displayed with a summary label at the side of the profile.
🔵 USAGE/b]
Identify Stop Hunt Zones: High-volume clusters near swing highs/lows are likely liquidation zones targeted during fakeouts.
Fade or Follow Reactions: Price hitting a high-volume bin may reverse (fade opportunity) or break with strength (confirmation breakout).
Layer with Other Tools: Combine with market structure, order blocks, or trend filters to validate entries near liquidity.
Adjust Offset for Sensitivity: Use higher offset to simulate wider stop placement; use lower for tighter scalping zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Dynamic Liquidity Depth transforms raw price and volume into a spatial map of liquidity. By revealing areas where stop orders are likely hidden, it gives traders insight into price manipulation zones, potential reversal levels, and breakout traps. Whether you're hunting for traps or trading with the flow, this tool equips you to navigate liquidity with precision.

Candles Volume HeatMap [BigBeluga]Candles Volume HeatMap
The Candle Volume HeatMap indicator is a unique and advanced tool that visualizes lower timeframe volume activity within higher timeframe candles, offering traders a granular perspective on volume distribution.
⚠️Important note: before using the indicator, it is necessary to apply it to the candles
🔵Key Features:
Volume HeatMap Visualization: The indicator breaks down each higher timeframe candle into 10 equal vertical segments (boxes) based on its high-to-low range. Each box represents a lower timeframe candle's volume activity, with more intense colors indicating stronger volume levels.
Lower Timeframe Integration: Automatically uses a timeframe 10x lower than the current chart. For example, on a 10-hour chart, it uses 1-hour candles to extract volume data.
POC (Point of Control): The highest volume box within each candle is marked with the volume value. The indicator also plots a horizontal POC line at the level of this box, highlighting significant areas of price interest. The POC line is removed once the price crosses it, ensuring the chart stays clean.
Delta Display (Optional): Traders can enable the Delta feature to analyze buyer vs. seller activity within each higher timeframe candle.
Delta is calculated by summing 10 lower timeframe candles: a bullish candle adds to buyers, while a bearish candle adds to sellers. Displays the net Delta percentage: positive values (white) indicate buyer dominance, while negative values (red) indicate seller dominance.
Dynamic Volume Scaling: The highest volume value in each candle is displayed inside its respective box, providing quick insights into critical price-volume levels.
🔵How It Works:
For each higher timeframe candle, the indicator analyzes 10 lower timeframe candles and maps their volume into 10 segments (boxes) between the high and low of the current candle.
The intensity of each box's color corresponds to the relative volume of the lower timeframe candle it represents.
The POC highlights the price level with the highest concentration of volume, aiding in identifying potential support/resistance zones.
Delta analysis offers additional insights into market sentiment by breaking down buyer and seller activity in each candle.
🔵Use Cases:
Spotting key volume areas within higher timeframe candles to identify support and resistance levels.
Analyzing volume concentration for potential breakout or reversal zones.
Leveraging Delta analysis to gauge market sentiment and confirm volume-based trends.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking to combine volume analysis with price action, offering precise insights into volume distribution and market dynamics.
Volume Analysis - Heatmap and Volume ProfileHello All!
I have a new toy for you! Volume Analysis - Heatmap and Volume Profile . Honestly I started to work to develop Volume Heatmap then I decided to improve it and add more features such Volume profile, volume, difference in Buy/Sell volumes etc. I tried to put my abilities into this script and tried to use some new Pine Language™ features ( method, force_overlay, enum etc features ). I hope the usage of these new features would be an example for Pine Programmers.
Lets talk about how it works:
- It gets number of Rows/Columns from the user for each candle to create heatmap
- It calculates the number of the candles to analyze. Number of the candles may change by number of Rows/columns or if any volume / difference in volumes / volume profile is enabled
- It gets Closing/Opening price, Volume and Time info from lower time frame for each candle ( it can be up to 100K for each candle )
- After getting the data it calculates lower time frame to analyze
- Then it calculates how closing price moves, how much volume on each move and create boxes by the volume/move in each box
- The colors for each box calculated by volume info and closing price movements in the lower time frame
- It shows the boxes on Absolute places or Zero Line optionally
- it shows Volume, Cumulative volume, Difference between Buy/Sell volume for each column
- it changes empty box color by Chart background color, also you can change transparency
- At this time it creates Volume Profile with up to 25 rows
- As a new Pine Language™ feature, it can show Volume Profile in the indicator window or in Main chart, shows Value Area, Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and draw it and POC (Point Of Control) in the indicator window and/or in the main chart
- Honestly the feature I like is that: For the markets that are not open 24/7, it combines the data from the lower time period without any gaps. For example, if you work for a market that is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, it ensures data integrity by omitting weekends and holidays. so for example if the data is like "ABC---DEF-X---YL-Z" then it makes this data like "ABCDEFXYLZ". In this way, there will be no data breaks in the displayed boxes, there will be no empty colons, and it will appear as if data is coming in at any time.
- Finally it shows Info Panel to give info, its background color automatically changes by the Chart background color
- Important! You should set your "Plan" accordingly, your plan is "Premium or Higher" or "Lower tier". so the script can understand the minimum time frame it can get data!!
I tried to share many screenshots below to explain it much better
How it looks?
it shows Highest Buy/Sell volumes brighter, move volume -> brighter
Volume Profile ( up to 25 row s) ( number of contained candles should be more than 1 )
Volume Profile can be shown in the main chart optionally
How the main chart looks:
Closing price shown and you can enable it, change colors & line width
Can include many candles according to Row&Column number you set
Optionally it can show cumulative volume for each candle
Closing prices from lower time frame
Shows Candle Body by changing background colors
It can shows all included candles on Zero line
You can change the colors of many things
You can set Empty box and border transparency
Table, Empty box Colors adjustment done automatically by chart background color
Sometimes we can not get data from some historical candles if time frame is high such 2days, 1 week etc, and it looks like:
It also checks if Chart time frame and Chart type is suitable
Enjoy!
MM Day Trader LevelsAs an intraday trader, there are certain key levels that I care about for short-term price action on every single chart. When I first began day trading, each morning I would painstakingly mark those key levels off on the charts I planned to trade each day. Depending on the number of charts I was watching, this would take up quite a bit of my time that I felt would have been much better spent doing other things. It also meant that those levels would often be left behind, and on later days I might be trading a symbol and get confused when a line appeared and I'd be paying attention to it only to later discover that it wasn't from prior day, but from some other day in the past when I had marked it off.
I looked all over TradingView to find indicators that did this automatically for me, and I found a lot of them. One by one I tried them, and inevitably I would always find that something was wrong with them. Often they didn't have all of the levels I wanted (so I would have to combine multiple indicators), but more often I found that the levels would be incorrect, or they would be buggy and not appear consistently, or they would not appear at the right time, or they would not work on futures! The list of problems went on and on. And the biggest issue I found was that nobody knew how to get session volume profile in an indicator.
So, over the course of a few years I figured out how to solve all of those problems and now I'm thrilled to present this free indicator for everyone like me who trades intraday and wants a clean consistent way to see the prior day levels that they care about automatically on every single chart (even futures). The levels the indicator provides are:
Yesterday High & Low
Value Area High & Low & Point of Control
Today's Open
Yesterday's Close (aka "Settlement" on futures)
Premarket High & Low (non-futures only)
Overnight High & Low (futures only)
These levels are extremely important, and I expect price to be reactive to them, so each level has a shaded background behind it so that the levels stand out against other lines you may have on your chart. I try to keep configuration as simple as possible, but there are configuration options that allow you to:
Hide any of the levels
Change the color for the levels
Shade the value area (or not)
Change the label text, size, type (basic label or plain text) and location (how far to the right of last candle to place the label
Adjust session volume profile value area volume & number of rows
The biggest advantage to this indicator over others on TradingView is how it handles session volume profile. When it comes to futures, TradingView does differentiate between regular trading hours and "electronic" trading hours on the charts, but their timeframes for those sessions are unusual, and they do not provide any programmatic way to differentiate between them. So, I created a whole new library for dealing with futures sessions that is fully integrated into both my Session Volume Profile library and this indicator, allowing me to bring you the best and only custom indicator available on TradingView that provides you with true regular session volume profile information across every type of symbol, including futures.
I'm incredibly proud of everything I've been able to provide with this indicator, and even more thrilled to say that I'm proud of how the indicator has been implemented. Once again releasing this indicator and all associated code for free and open source. I encourage you to take a look at the source code to see how it all works, take advantage of the free underlying libraries I created to make all of this possible: Session Library and Session Volume Profile Library.
Fixed volume profile & zonesHi all!
If you like volume profile and like to create zones, where the price might react, this indicator might be for you. It plots a fixed volume profile and creates a user defined number of zones (shelves) of high volume.
If you want to know more about volume profile you can about it here on TradingView: se.tradingview.com
To do
• Add possiblity to create alerts for zone entries, breakouts and retest
• The importance of zones are now based on high volume slots only. It might be changed to include the slots around the 'master slot' to determine if the area is of high importance or not, your suggestions here are welcome!
• Show total volume in 'values'
• Error if the data cannot be fetched
• Add value area
• Make earlier (more important shelves) more visible (less transparent)
• Add possiblity to skip zones
Known issues
• Script execution is long when the volume profile is created (should be none)
• In some cases you can get overlapping shelves, avoid this
Settings
• Main
• Start/end bar of the volume profile (this is required)
• Data
• Timeframe (for getting the volume data)
• Levels (the number of slots in the volume profile)
• Shelves (the number of zones with high volume to plot) and it's color
• Max slot (have this enabled if you want the shelf's highest volume slot to have a dotted line and choose it's color
• Show info (show the order of the plotted zone)
• Style (how the volume profile will look)
• Histogram box (the color of the background of the volume profile)
• Up (the color of bullish volume)
• Down (the color of bearish volume)
• Point of control (color and if it should be extended or not)
• Values and text color (show bullish and bearish volume values)
The defaults on all settings are based on the daily timeframe. This indicator is not 'complete' and I plan to work on it when I get the time.
Note that the precision for the volume profile is per candle, so some levels can have visuals as others but lower volume.
The slot (level) volume has to have a lower difference to the volume included in the shelf than the next volume to be checked to be included. If the level being checked for inclusion in a shelf is at the end of boundaries (high and low) of the volume profile, the volume has to be higher than the golden ratio of the volume before.
You can also use this indicator if you just want a volume profile to show, just set the the number of zones to plot (in 'Shelves') to 0.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything and that it's clear, let me know otherwise.
Best of trading luck!
POC IndicatorThis simplified Point of Control (POC) indicator for TradingView is designed to identify and plot the price level where the highest volume of trading occurred over a specified period. The script works as follows:
Input and Initialization: The user specifies a length for the analysis period. Variables highestVolPrice and highestVol are initialized to track the price with the highest volume and the highest volume encountered, respectively.
Volume Analysis Loop: For each bar in the specified period (up to length bars back from the current bar), the script compares the volume of the current bar (volume ) to highestVol. If the current bar's volume is higher, highestVol and highestVolPrice are updated to reflect the volume and closing price of the current bar.
Plotting the POC: Instead of using a horizontal line (hline), which cannot be dynamically updated within the loop, the script uses plot to draw the POC. This plotting function draws a line on the chart that represents the closing price level associated with the highest volume observed within the analysis period.
Resetting Variables: To ensure the indicator updates correctly with each new bar, the script resets highestVol and highestVolPrice at the start of the analysis for each new period. This step is designed to recalculate the POC dynamically as new data comes in.
This approach offers a basic method for visualizing significant price levels where substantial trading activity occurred, potentially indicating areas of strong support or resistance. However, it's a simplified model and does not calculate the true POC based on a detailed volume profile across all price levels within the period.
PhantomFlow AccumulationDetectorThe PhantomFlow AccumulationDetector indicator analyzes the volume profile and displays potential accumulation based on the selected timeframe in the settings. This indicator can be used both as zones for trend following and for identifying reversals, as shown in the examples on the chart. The logic behind the formation of the accumulation zone is based on the fact that the POC (Point of Control) of the current zone is within the Volume Area range of the previous period.
Optimal settings for the working timeframe should be chosen visually, and the size of the zones should not be too large or too small. Additionally, it's advisable not to consider overly wide zones during increased volatility.
Consecutive zones within the same range often indicate a potential reversal.
We borrowed the volume profile calculation code from @LonesomeTheBlue. Thank you for the work done!
Volume Profile - BearJust another Volume Profile but you can fit into your chart better by moving back and forth horizontally. also note you can fix the number of bars to show the volume by that way you can use a fib retracment to line up high/low volume nodes with fib levels... see where price as bad structure. or just play with the colors to make a cool gradient?
Volume Profile is a technical analysis tool used by traders to analyze the distribution of trading volume at different price levels within a specified time frame. It helps traders identify key support and resistance levels, potential areas of price reversals, and areas of high trading interest. Here's how to read Volume Profile on a trading chart:
1. **Choose a Time Frame**: Decide on the time frame you want to analyze. Volume Profile can be applied to various time frames, such as daily, hourly, or even minute charts. The choice depends on your trading style and goals.
2. **Plot the Volume Profile**: Once you have your chart open, add the Volume Profile indicator. Most trading platforms offer this tool. It typically appears as a histogram or a series of horizontal bars alongside the price chart.
3. **Identify Key Elements**:
a. **Value Area**: The Value Area represents the price range where the majority of trading volume occurred. It is often divided into three parts: the Point of Control (POC) and the upper and lower value areas. The POC is the price level where the most trading activity occurred and is considered a significant support or resistance level.
b. **High-Volume Nodes**: High-volume nodes are price levels where there was a significant amount of trading volume. These nodes can act as support or resistance levels because they represent areas where many traders had their positions.
c. **Low-Volume Areas**: Conversely, low-volume areas are price levels with little trading activity. These areas may not provide strong support or resistance because they lack significant trader interest.
4. **Interpretation**:
- If the price is trading above the POC and the upper value area, it suggests bullish sentiment, and these levels may act as support.
- If the price is trading below the POC and the lower value area, it suggests bearish sentiment, and these levels may act as resistance.
- High-volume nodes can also act as support or resistance, depending on the price's current position relative to them.
5. **Confirmation**: Volume Profile should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm trading decisions. Consider using trendlines, moving averages, or other price patterns to validate your trading strategy.
6. **Adjust for Different Time Frames**: Keep in mind that Volume Profile analysis can yield different results on different time frames. For example, a support level on a daily chart may not hold on a shorter time frame due to intraday volatility.
7. **Practice and Experience**: Like any trading tool, reading Volume Profile requires practice and experience. Analyze historical charts, paper trade, and refine your strategies over time to gain proficiency.
8. **Stay Informed**: Stay updated with market news and events that can impact trading volume. Sudden news can change the significance of volume levels.
Volume Profile Fixed Range Support and Resistance LevelsThis script is based on the excellent Volume Profile / Fixed Range indicator by @LonesomeTheBlue, so all credit for the foundations of this indicator goes to @LonesomeTheBlue
I basically made 5 instances of the original script and added horizontal lines at the beginning and end of the each Value Area. To use the script as a support and resistance tool without the Value Areas and Point of Control (POC) labels you just need to untick "Boxes" and "Labels" in the "Style" section of the “Settings”.
The default look-back periods (in bars) are 7, 30, 60, 180 and 365, but you can change this or the colour of the lines easily in the “Settings”.
The dashed lines are the respective POC.
I find this tool to be very useful for quickly identifying interest levels on any chart while also ensuring a certain amount of objectivity in your TA.
Hope you find it useful and thanks again to @LonesomeTheBlue for going through the trouble of coding this and being so generous to share it with the rest of us!
Good luck out there!
Volume and vPOC InsightsThe vPOC or volume point of control shows where most of the volume was traded. This is important because this is where the institutions and market makers have opened their positions, and these are the ones that move the markets!
This indicator is designed to cut through the volume noise, and enable the hiding of lower volume data.
The main setting allows you to define a lookback, and obscure the candles whose volume is less than x % of the highest volume in this lookback.
Of the remaining candles, their vPOC will be displayed. There are extra settings to extend naked vPOCs, as well as the highs and lows of these high volume candles, plus an EMA based on the vPOC price levels.
I must credit quantifytools @quantifytools who allowed me to utilize his code, for finding vPOCs using lower timeframe candles - there are comments in the code also. It works perfectly so why reinvent the wheel?
