IQ Zones [TradingIQ]Hey Traders!
Introducing "IQ Zones".
"IQ Zones" is an indicator that combines support and resistance identification with volume, the "value area" of a candlestick to be exact. IQ Zones identifies turning points in the market; however, the candlestick high or low that formed the key turning point is not necessarily distinguished as the support/resistance area. Instead, the script looks into the bar at lower timeframes and calculates the value area of the candlestick that formed the support or resistance level. Therefore, any lines protruding from a candlestick reflect the value area of that candlestick. These levels (value area high and value area low) are marked on the candlestick as a support/resistance level. If the level formed on high volume it's marked as an "IQ Zone".
Additionally, IQ Zones presents a heat map to show volume intensity at nearby price areas. The heatmap is a product of the Volume Profile (IQ Profile) located on the right of the chart.
The IQ Profile is a segmented volume profile. Recent price is split into fifths (customizable), and individual volume profiles are calculated for all segmented price areas. Price is split into more than one segment to avoid a situation where volume in a ranging price zone far surpasses all other recent price areas - creating an "unusable" volume profile that doesn't offer helpful insights. If desired, you can set the segmenting option to "1" to calculate one unified volume profile for the entire price range.
The image above shows IQ Zones in action!
Core Features of IQ Zones
Value Area Support and Resistance Levels
Segmented volume profile for the recent trading period
Volume intensity heatmap
Support and resistance levels in high volume intensity may be more significant as price stoppers
The image above explains the labels marked along the y-axis of the IQ Profile.
The "more green" a price area/label is, the higher the volume intensity at the marked support/resistance area.
The image above further explains line lines protruding from the IQ Profile.
For this example, the value area of the candlestick (where most trading action occurred) is quite far from the high price of the candlestick that formed a resistance level! Using the value area of a candlestick that marks a key turning point to draw support/resistance offers insight into where the majority of trading action took place when the support/resistance level was forming!
Additionally, you can hover your mouse over the IQ Zone labels (triangles pointing up or down) to see the prices of the value area for the support/resistance level, including the total buying volume and total selling volume at the price area!
The image above further explains the IQ Profile!
You can segment the recent price area anywhere from 1 - 15 times.
The image above further explains IQ Zones and the IQ Profile!
That will be all for this indicator - a fun project to share with the community.
Thank you!

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!
Volume Adjusted CandlesTraditional candlestick charts are invaluable for visualizing price movements over time. However, they often lack an explicit representation of trading volume, a key factor that can significantly influence price action. Our Volume Adjusted Candles Indicator fills this gap by incorporating volume directly into the candlesticks, allowing for a more comprehensive analysis.
How Candles are Calculated
Each candlestick in this indicator is adjusted based on the volume of trades that occurred during its timeframe. The process involves segmenting the price range of the trading session into equal parts, known as 'bins'. Each bin represents a segment of the price range, and the volume of trades within each bin influences the final shape and position of the candlestick.
The Formula: The volume adjusted position of each part of the candle (high, low, and close) is calculated using a weighted average formula where each price point is weighted by the volume of trades at that price. This results in a volume-weighted price for each segment of the candle, making it easy to see where the most trading activity occurred and how it impacted price movements.
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.
Volume Profile Heatmap [UAlgo]The "Volume Profile Heatmap " indicator is a tool designed to visualize the distribution of trading volume across different price levels over a specified period. This heatmap-style indicator helps traders identify significant price levels where a high volume of trading activity has occurred, which can be crucial for making informed trading decisions. The indicator divides the price range into multiple levels and calculates the volume of trades occurring at each level, presenting this data in a visually intuitive manner using a gradient of colors.
By analyzing the volume profile, traders can gain insights into areas of support and resistance, as well as the Point of Control (POC)—the price level with the highest traded volume. This information is valuable in assessing market sentiment, potential reversal points, and key areas of interest where price action might consolidate or react.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Analysis Period: The indicator allows users to specify the analysis period, defining the historical range over which the volume profile is calculated.
Adjustable Number of Levels: Users can set the number of price levels to divide the price range, offering flexibility in the granularity of the volume analysis.
Color-Coded Heatmap: The indicator uses a gradient color scheme to visually represent volume intensity at each price level. Higher volume areas are shaded differently than lower volume areas, making it easy to spot significant price levels.
Opacity Control: Users can adjust the opacity of the volume boxes, enabling a clearer or more subtle visualization according to their preferences.
Point of Control (POC) Display: The indicator highlights the Point of Control, the price level with the highest traded volume, with a distinct line on the chart, allowing traders to easily identify this critical level.
🔶 Disclaimer
Use with Caution: This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. Users should exercise caution and perform their own analysis before making trading decisions based on the indicator's signals.
Not Financial Advice: The information provided by this indicator does not constitute financial advice, and the creator (UAlgo) shall not be held responsible for any trading losses incurred as a result of using this indicator.
Backtesting Recommended: Traders are encouraged to backtest the indicator thoroughly on historical data before using it in live trading to assess its performance and suitability for their trading strategies.
Risk Management: Trading involves inherent risks, and users should implement proper risk management strategies, including but not limited to stop-loss orders and position sizing, to mitigate potential losses.
No Guarantees: The accuracy and reliability of the indicator's signals cannot be guaranteed, as they are based on historical price data and past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Follow the Volumes / Path of Least ResistanceThis indicator tracks price movements following significant volume increases. It identifies volume spikes by comparing recent average volume to a longer-term average. After a spike, it monitors price changes over a specified number of bars.
In plain English, the point of this is to “let the market show it’s hand”, vs. other common and preemptive methods of execution.
You can think of it as a better version of a volume up/down indicator which only uses opening and closing prices to identify "bullish" or "bearish" behavior.
To optimize this, I used a very small range chart, hence the small values. You will need to experiment with other values, ESPECIALLY the % change. If you do not do this, the indicator will generate a lot of noise.
The indicator has three main conditions:
1. Significant price increase, bullish: A green triangle appears below the bar.
2. Significant price decrease, bearish: A red triangle appears above the bar.
3. Price change within thresholds: A fuschia triangle appears, pointing up or down based on the overall (short-term) trend. This is common behavior during trends. A spike in volume will appear, and price simply does not budge. Volume/price is essentially declaring a new found value, in which case prices tend to follow the impulse movement (see market profile theory).
The color scheme is intuitive: green for positive moves, red for negative, and fuschia for subtle changes following the existing trend. Blue circles mark volume spikes for reference, which I recommend using only for reference, and disabling to remove unneeded noise.
Because this indicator "lags" in the sense of waiting for the market to show its hand, best opportunities are typically found on retests of the volume spikes themselves. On drives, however, the market will unlikely pullback, which (in my view) is one of its best use cases.
Bottom line, you will need to adjust the parameters to the instrument. This is not a plug and play solution, but far more accurate than those which are.
Settings, and what they mean:
Volume spike average bars: length for identification of high volumes. On smaller timeframes, such as my optimization period, you’ll want several bars. But on something such as a 5 minute or higher, only 1.
Lookback period: for identification of high volumes.
Volume Increase Threshold (%): % which constitutes a jump in volume
Bars After Spike: How long to wait for ensuing price movement. Also sensitive to the timeframe you are using. 1-2 recommended for 5m+, more for smaller range-based.
Negative Price Change Threshold (%): For red arrows (Volume + Price Movement)
Positive Price Change Threshold (%): Inverse of above
WMA Period for Stability Function: When price spikes on high volumes but does not move (price is “trapped” between negative and positive price change thresholds) the indicator marks direction (in fuchsia) in the direction of the underlying trend. This short-term MA identifies that trend.
Finally, because this indicator is volume-based, I recommend using primary instruments only and discourage its use on CFDs or other firm-generated instruments. Just use the primary. I would ignore signals off the open, which is subject to erroneous behavior. Other methods are far more effective for that.
This script is purposely uncomplicated. Feel free to play with settings and change code to suit your needs.
Delta Flow Profile [LuxAlgo]The Delta Flow Profile is a charting tool that tracks and visualizes money flow and the difference between buying and selling pressure accumulated within multiple price ranges over a specified period. It reveals the relationship between an asset's price and traders' willingness to buy or sell, helping traders identify significant price levels and analyze market activity.
The Normalized Profile displays the percentage of money flow at each price level relative to the maximum money flow level, enabling traders to easily compare levels and understand the relative importance of each price point in the context of overall trading activity.
🔶 USAGE
The Delta Flow Profile is made of two principal components with different usability, each one of them described in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Money Flow Profile
The Money Flow Profile illustrates the total buying and selling activity at different price ranges. By analyzing this profile, users can identify key price zones with substantial buying or selling pressure. These zones can often act as potential support or resistance.
The rows of the Money Flow Profile represent the trading activity at specific price ranges over a given period.
A normalized profile is included to compare each zone relative to the peak money flow using a percentage, with 100% indicating that a price range is the one with the highest accumulated money flow.
🔹 Delta Profile
The Delta Profile assesses the dominant sentiment (buying or selling) from volume delta at different price levels to gauge market sentiment and potential reversals.
Delta Profile rows with more significant buying or selling volume indicate dominance from one side of the market in that specific price area. Price coming back to that area might indicate willingness from a dominant side to further accumulate orders within it, potentially causing price to follow the direction established by this dominant side afterward.
The volume delta is determined from the user-selected Polarity Method, with "Bar Polarity" using candle sentiment to determine if a bar associated volume is buying or selling volume, and "Bar Buying/Selling Pressure" making use of the high/low price to obtain more precise results.
🔹 Level of Significance
Users can quickly highlight the price levels with the highest recorded money flow activity through the included "Level of Significance". Various display methods are included:
Developing: Show the price level with the highest recorded money flow activity spanning over the indicator calculation interval.
Level: Show the price level with the highest recorded money flow activity.
Row: Show the price zone with the highest recorded money flow activity.
These levels/zones can be used as potential support/resistance points and can serve as a reference of where prices might go next for market participants to accumulate orders.
🔶 SETTINGS
The script offers a range of customizable settings to tailor the analysis to your trading needs.
🔹 Calculation Settings
Money Flow Profile: Toggles the visibility of the Money Flow Profile.
Normalized: Toggles the visibility of the Normalized Profile.
Sentiment Profile: Toggles the visibility of the Sentiment Profile.
Polarity Method: Choose between Bar Polarity or Bar Buying/Selling Pressure to calculate the Sentiment Profile.
Level of Significance: Toggles the visibility of the level of significance line/zone.
Lookback Length / Fixed Range: Sets the lookback length.
Number of Rows: Specify how many rows each profile histogram will have.
🔹 Display Settings
Profile Width %: Alters the width of the rows in the histogram, relative to the profile length.
Profile Horizontal Offset: Enables moving the profile on the horizontal axis.
Profile Text: Toggles the visibility of profile texts, and alters the size of the text. Setting to Auto will keep the text within the box limits.
Currency: Extends the profile text with the traded currency.
Profile Price Levels: Toggles the visibility of the profile price levels.

Visible Range Volume Profile Heatmap [MyTradingCoder]The Visible Range Volume Profile Heatmap indicator offers a visually striking and insightful way to analyze trading volume within the visible price range of your chart. This tool goes beyond traditional volume profiles by displaying volume distribution as a heatmap, where color intensity represents the volume traded at each price level.
Key Features:
Dynamic Heatmap: Displays volume concentration using a color gradient, making it easy to spot areas of high and low trading activity.
Customizable Grid: Choose between auto-scaling or manual grid configuration to suit your analysis needs.
Flexible Color Schemes: Select from tri-tone or two-tone color palettes to represent bullish and bearish volume.
Point of Control (POC) Overlay: Highlights the price level with the highest trading volume, a critical reference point for traders.
Adjustable Transparency: Fine-tune the visibility of the heatmap to balance it with other chart elements.
Lookback Period: Customize the number of bars used for volume profile calculation.
How to Use the Visible Range Volume Profile Heatmap:
The Visible Range Volume Profile Heatmap is a powerful tool that can significantly enhance your market analysis when used effectively. To get the most out of this indicator, start by observing the overall pattern of the heatmap. Areas with darker colors represent higher volume concentration, indicating price levels where significant trading activity has occurred. These areas often serve as important support or resistance levels, as they represent prices where many traders have established positions.
Pay close attention to the Point of Control (POC), represented by a line running through the heatmap. This line marks the price level with the highest trading volume and often acts as a magnet for price action. Price tends to gravitate towards the POC, making it a crucial reference point for potential reversals or continuations.
When analyzing potential trades, consider how the current price relates to the volume distribution shown in the heatmap. If the price is approaching a high-volume area from below, it might face resistance; conversely, if it's approaching from above, that area might provide support. Breakouts beyond significant volume nodes can be particularly noteworthy, as they may signal a shift in market sentiment.
Use the heatmap in conjunction with your existing trading strategies. For example, if you're a trend follower, you might look for breakouts beyond major volume areas as confirmation of trend continuation. If you're a mean reversion trader, you might consider entries when price moves away from high-volume nodes, anticipating a return to these heavily traded levels.
The indicator can also help in identifying potential profit targets. As price moves away from one volume node, it often continues until it reaches the next significant volume area. These areas can serve as logical places to consider taking profits or adjusting your position.
For longer-term analysis, observe how the volume profile changes over time. Shifts in the distribution of volume can indicate evolving market dynamics. A broadening of the high-volume area might suggest increasing uncertainty, while a narrowing could indicate building consensus about price.
Settings Explained:
Auto Grid Configuration:
The "Auto Scale" option automatically adjusts the grid size based on the visible chart area. This ensures optimal visualization regardless of your chart's dimensions or zoom level.
Auto Scale Grid Size: Determines the total number of cells in the heatmap. A higher number provides more granular detail but may increase calculation time.
Auto Scale Grid Ratio: Adjusts the aspect ratio of the grid cells. A higher ratio creates wider, more rectangular cells, while a lower ratio results in more square-shaped cells. Experiment to find the best visual representation for your analysis.
Lookback Period:
The lookback setting determines how many columns (bars) of historical data the indicator uses to calculate the volume profile. A larger lookback will provide a more comprehensive view of historical volume distribution but may be slower to react to recent changes. A smaller lookback will be more responsive to recent volume patterns but may miss longer-term trends.
Manual Grid Configuration:
If you prefer more control over the grid layout, you can switch to manual configuration:
Column Width: Sets the number of price bars each column of the heatmap represents. A wider column aggregates more data, smoothing out the profile.
Number of Rows: Determines the vertical resolution of the heatmap. More rows provide finer price level detail but may make the overall pattern less distinct.
Tips for Optimization:
For short-term trading, use a smaller lookback and finer grid settings to capture recent market dynamics.
For longer-term analysis, increase the lookback and use wider columns to identify persistent volume patterns.
If the heatmap appears too blocky, increase the number of rows or decrease the column width.
If the heatmap is too granular, making patterns hard to discern, do the opposite.
Remember, the ideal settings often depend on your specific trading timeframe, the asset you're analyzing, and your personal analytical preferences. Don't hesitate to experiment with different configurations to find what works best for your trading style.
Conclusion
The Visible Range Volume Profile Heatmap is more than just an indicator—it's a versatile tool that enhances your ability to analyze and interpret market data. By transforming volume profiles into an intuitive, color-coded heatmap, this indicator allows you to quickly identify critical price levels where significant trading activity has occurred. Whether you're a day trader focused on short-term moves or a swing trader analyzing longer-term trends, the customizable settings of this tool provide the flexibility needed to adapt to various market conditions.
The ability to configure the grid layout, adjust the lookback period, and fine-tune the color and transparency settings ensures that the heatmap can be tailored to your specific trading strategy. By highlighting key areas of support and resistance, identifying potential breakouts, and pinpointing the Point of Control (POC), the heatmap gives you actionable insights that can enhance your decision-making process.
Incorporate the Visible Range Volume Profile Heatmap into your trading routine to gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and to spot opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. Remember to experiment with the settings to find the configuration that best suits your analysis style, and use this powerful indicator in conjunction with your existing strategies for optimal results. With the right approach, this tool can become an indispensable part of your trading toolkit, helping you navigate the markets with greater confidence and precision.

HOW-TO ACTIVATE LEVEL TYPES AND TIMEFRAMES AND HOW-TO USE THE INDICATOR
You can simply choose which of the levels to be activated and displayed by clicking on the desired radio button in the settings menu.
You can locate the settings menu by clicking into the Object Tree window, left-click on the Multiple Naked Levels and select Settings.
You will then get a menu of different level types and timeframes. Click the checkboxes for the level types and timeframes that you want to display on the chart.
You can then go into the chart and check out which naked levels that have appeared. You can then use those levels as part of your technical analysis.
The levels displayed on the chart can serve as additional confluences or as part of your overall technical analysis and indicators.
In order to back-test the impact of the different naked levels you can also enable tapped levels to be depicted on the chart. Do this by toggling the 'Show tapped levels' checkbox.
Keep in mind however that Trading View can not shom more than 500 lines and text boxes so the indocator will not be able to give you the complete history back to the start for long duration assets.
In order to clean up the charts a little bit there are two additional settings that can be used in the Settings menu:
- Selecting the price range (%) from the current price to be included in the chart. The default is 25%. That means that all levels below or above 20% will not be displayed. You can set this level yourself from 0 up to 100%.
- Selecting the minimum gap size to include on the chart. The default is 1%. That means that all gaps/ranges below 1% in price difference will not be displayed on the chart. You can set the minimum gap size yourself.
BASIC DESCRIPTION OF THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE INDICTATOR
The way the indicator works is that it calculates and identifies all levels from the list of levels type and timeframes above. The indicator then adds this level to a list of untapped levels.
Then for each bar after, it checks if the level has been tapped. If the level has been tapped or a gap/range completely filled, this level is removed from the list so that the levels displayed in the end are only naked/untapped levels.
Below is a descrition of each of the level types and how it is caluclated (algorithm):
PIVOT
Daily, Weekly and Monthly levels in trading refer to significant price points that traders monitor within the context of a single trading day. These levels can provide insights into market behavior and help traders make informed decisions regarding entry and exit points.
Traders often use D/W/M levels to set entry and exit points for trades. For example, entering long positions near support (daily close) or selling near resistance (daily close).
Daily levels are used to set stop-loss orders. Placing stops just below the daily close for long positions or above the daily close for short positions can help manage risk.
The relationship between price movement and daily levels provides insights into market sentiment. For instance, if the price fails to break above the daily high, it may signify bearish sentiment, while a strong breakout can indicate bullish sentiment.
The way these levels are calculated in this indicator is based on finding pivots in the chart on D/W/M timeframe. The level is then set to previous D/W/M close = current D/W/M open.
In addition, when price is going up previous D/W/M open must be smaller than previous D/W/M close and current D/W/M close must be smaller than the current D/W/M open. When price is going down the opposite.
POINT OF CONTROL
The Point of Control (POC) is a key concept in volume profile analysis, which is commonly used in trading.
It represents the price level at which the highest volume of trading occurred during a specific period.
The POC is derived from the volume traded at various price levels over a defined time frame. In this indicator the timeframes are Daily, Weekly, and Montly.
It identifies the price level where the most trades took place, indicating strong interest and activity from traders at that price.
The POC often acts as a significant support or resistance level. If the price approaches the POC from above, it may act as a support level, while if approached from below, it can serve as a resistance level. Traders monitor the POC to gauge potential reversals or breakouts.
The way the POC is calculated in this indicator is by an approximation by analysing intrabars for the respective timeperiod (D/W/M), assigning the volume for each intrabar into the price-bins that the intrabar covers and finally identifying the bin with the highest aggregated volume.
The POC is the price in the middle of this bin.
The indicator uses a sample space for intrabars on the Daily timeframe of 15 minutes, 35 minutes for the Weekly timeframe, and 140 minutes for the Monthly timeframe.
The indicator has predefined the size of the bins to 0.2% of the price at the range low. That implies that the precision of the calulated POC og VAH/VAL is within 0.2%.
This reduction of precision is a tradeoff for performance and speed of the indicator.
This also implies that the bigger the difference from range high prices to range low prices the more bins the algorithm will iterate over. This is typically the case when calculating the monthly volume profile levels and especially high volatility assets such as alt coins.
Sometimes the number of iterations becomes too big for Trading View to handle. In these cases the bin size will be increased even more to reduce the number of iterations.
In such cases the bin size might increase by a factor of 2-3 decreasing the accuracy of the Volume Profile levels.
Anyway, since these Volume Profile levels are approximations and since precision is traded for performance the user should consider the Volume profile levels(POC, VAH, VAL) as zones rather than pin point accurate levels.
VALUE AREA HIGH/LOW STD1/STD2
The Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) are important concepts in volume profile analysis, helping traders understand price levels where the majority of trading activity occurs for a given period.
The Value Area High/Low is the upper/lower boundary of the value area, representing the highest price level at which a certain percentage of the total trading volume occurred within a specified period.
The VAH/VAL indicates the price point above/below which the majority of trading activity is considered less valuable. It can serve as a potential resistance/support level, as prices above/below this level may experience selling/buying pressure from traders who view the price as overvalued/undervalued
In this indicator the timeframes are Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. This indicator provides two boundaries that can be selected in the menu.
The first boundary is 70% of the total volume (=1 standard deviation from mean). The second boundary is 95% of the total volume (=2 standard deviation from mean).
The way VAH/VAL is calculated is based on the same algorithm as for the POC.
However instead of identifying the bin with the highest volume, we start from range low and sum up the volume for each bin until the aggregated volume = 30%/70% for VAL1/VAH1 and aggregated volume = 5%/95% for VAL2/VAH2.
Then we simply set the VAL/VAH equal to the low of the respective bin.
FAIR VALUE GAPS
Fair Value Gaps (FVG) is a concept primarily used in technical analysis and price action trading, particularly within the context of futures and forex markets. They refer to areas on a price chart where there is a noticeable lack of trading activity, often highlighted by a significant price movement away from a previous level without trading occurring in between.
FVGs represent price levels where the market has moved significantly without any meaningful trading occurring. This can be seen as a "gap" on the price chart, where the price jumps from one level to another, often due to a rapid market reaction to news, events, or other factors.
These gaps typically appear when prices rise or fall quickly, creating a space on the chart where no transactions have taken place. For example, if a stock opens sharply higher and there are no trades at the prices in between the two levels, it creates a gap. The areas within these gaps can be areas of liquidity that the market may return to “fill” later on.
FVGs highlight inefficiencies in pricing and can indicate areas where the market may correct itself. When the market moves rapidly, it may leave behind price levels that traders eventually revisit to establish fair value.
Traders often watch for these gaps as potential reversal or continuation points. Many traders believe that price will eventually “fill” the gap, meaning it will return to those price levels, providing potential entry or exit points.
This indicator calculate FVGs on three different timeframes, Daily, Weekly and Montly.
In this indicator the FVGs are identified by looking for a three-candle pattern on a chart, signalling a discrete imbalance in order volume that prompts a quick price adjustment. These gaps reflect moments where the market sentiment strongly leans towards buying or selling yet lacks the opposite orders to maintain price stability.
The indicator sets the gap to the difference from the high of the first bar to the low of the third bar when price is moving up or from the low of the first bar to the high of the third bar when price is moving down.
CME GAPS (BTC only)
CME gaps refer to price discrepancies that can occur in charts for futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). These gaps typically arise from the fact that many futures markets, including those on the CME, operate nearly 24 hours a day but may have significant price movements during periods when the market is closed.
CME gaps occur when there is a difference between the closing price of a futures contract on one trading day and the opening price on the following trading day. This difference can create a "gap" on the price chart.
Opening Gaps: These usually happen when the market opens significantly higher or lower than the previous day's close, often influenced by news, economic data releases, or other market events occurring during non-trading hours.
Gaps can result from reactions to major announcements or developments, such as earnings reports, geopolitical events, or changes in economic indicators, leading to rapid price movements.
The importance of CME Gaps in Trading is the potential for Filling Gaps: Many traders believe that prices often "fill" gaps, meaning that prices may return to the gap area to establish fair value.
This can create potential trading opportunities based on the expectation of gap filling. Gaps can act as significant support or resistance levels. Traders monitor these levels to identify potential reversal points in price action.
The way the gap is identified in this indicator is by checking if current open is higher than previous bar close when price is moving up or if current open is lower than previous day close when price is moving down.
EQUILIBRIUM
Equilibrium in finance and trading refers to a state where supply and demand in a market balance each other, resulting in stable prices. It is a key concept in various economic and trading contexts. Here’s a concise description:
Market Equilibrium occurs when the quantity of a good or service supplied equals the quantity demanded at a specific price level. At this point, there is no inherent pressure for the price to change, as buyers and sellers are in agreement.
Equilibrium Price is the price at which the market is in equilibrium. It reflects the point where the supply curve intersects the demand curve on a graph. At the equilibrium price, the market clears, meaning there are no surplus goods or shortages.
In this indicator the equilibrium level is calculated simply by finding the midpoint of the Daily, Weekly, and Montly candles respectively.
NOTES
1) Performance. The algorithms are quite resource intensive and the time it takes the indicator to calculate all the levels could be 5 seconds or more, depending on the number of bars in the chart and especially if Montly Volume Profile levels are selected (POC, VAH or VAL).
2) Levels displayed vs the selected chart timeframe. On a timeframe smaller than the daily TF - both Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels will be displayed. On a timeframe bigger than the daily TF but smaller than the weekly TF - the Weekly and Monthly levels will be display but not the Daily levels. On a timeframe bigger than the weekly TF but smaller than the monthly TF - only the Monthly levels will be displayed. Not Daily and Weekly.
CREDITS
The core algorithm for calculating the POC levels is based on the indicator "Naked Intrabar POC" developed by rumpypumpydumpy (https:www.tradingview.com/u/rumpypumpydumpy/).
The "Naked intrabar POC" indicator calculates the POC on the current chart timeframe.
This indicator (Multiple Naked Levels) adds two new features:
1) It calculates the POC on three specific timeframes, the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes - not only the current chart timeframe.
2) It adds functionaly by calculating the VAL and VAH of the volume profile on the Daily, Weekly, Monthly timeframes .
Stef's Dollar Volume CounterStef's Dollar Volume Counter is my second script that I've worked on and coded. I am proud of this script because it does something very, very important: it counts the AMOUNT of money traded, not just the amount shares/contracts traded. This is key for understanding where the big and small money is.
This script is totally different from other Volume scripts because it shows the amount of money traded, NOT the shares/contracts/coins etc. Also, more importantly, it is different from other volume indicators in the same space because this script is specifically focused on showcasing specific dollar volume amounts either as a table or as a label.
Here are the 5 key features you can utilize with this:
1. Customizable Gradient Colors for BIG money and SMALL money: Visually distinguishes between high and low dollar volumes. Change the colors as needed in the indicator settings menu.
2. Dollar Volume Counter Table: Positioned at the bottom right of the chart, this table provides quick insights into the highest, lowest, and average dollar volumes over a specified period. You can customize the time period in the settings menu.
3. "Wow! Much Money!" Labels: Highlights the top three recent highest dollar volumes within the visible chart area, emphasizing significant trading periods. Also, it's hilarious :)
4. Customize the period for volume analysis, ranging from 1 to 12 months or more, with the selected timeframe displayed in the table.
5. It opens as a new pane below the chart so that you can still analyze price and more, as needed.
Thanks for reading! I look forward to hearing your feedback. This script will be updated to expand on more concepts and I'll add some cool features soon.
Pivot Point Profile [LuxAlgo]The Pivot Point Profile indicator groups and displays data accumulated from previous pivot points, providing a comprehensive method for prioritizing and displaying areas of interest directly given by swing highs and lows.
Users have access to common settings present in other profile-type indicators.
🔶 USAGE
The Pivot Point Profile is particularly helpful in identifying highly active reversal zones that have been visited multiple times by price. Because of this, we could generally expect these areas to serve as future points of interest, often acting as support or resistance when re-visited.
The profile displays data associated with both Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows. Each row consists of pivot high and pivot low counts side-by-side, forming the total width of the row.
By analyzing the row as a whole, we can gain a better understanding of WHERE to look for interactions.
By analyzing the pivot counts independently, we can gain a better understanding of WHAT to expect when returning to these areas.
For example:
If a row in the profile contains entirely Pivot Lows, this could be seen as an indication to look for buyers to hold that level for a continuation upwards. A break of this level could be interpreted as a lack of interest from previous buyers at this level, indicating a further move down.
🔹 Concentrated Areas
Each row in the profile displays the current count of high pivots and low pivots within the selected lookback. The largest count for each pivot direction is identified as a "Concentrated Area (CA)", these CAs are highlighted over the chart with a line displaying the average of all pivots within that CA. The CA Average is the average of all pivot points (in the majority direction) within the given row.
These can hold more importance as potential support/resistance areas.
Note: The CA Threshold can be manually adjusted to highlight all rows based on a user-selected value.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Calculation
The idea behind the Pivot Point Profile is a new analysis method for pivot points, taking the idea of a volume profile and adapting it to display pivot points instead of volume. By using this data, in theory, we should be able to better prioritize zones to anticipate reversals, as well as identify key levels to watch for buyer & seller interactions to use as confirmations in direction.
The (vertical) width of each row is the product of the script's "Row Size", this is the number of rows that the profile will consist of. With a max of 250, the profile can be decently granular. That being said, A more granular profile will have fewer overlapping pivot points. By decreasing the row size (Using fewer rows in the profile) you will increase the tolerance for grouping pivot points. Potentially leading to a more comprehensive Profile. Inversely, By reducing the tolerance for grouping, you will better visualize only similar highs and lows but may have noisier data to sift through.
The Profile is calculated based on a "Lookback" parameter, using only the lookback amount of previous high and low pivots to calculate the profile. Configuring this parameter alongside "Pivot Length", will allow for great control over the frame of reference of the profile.
Note: This indicator is capable of utilizing the full chart history of pivot points, this can be done by enabling the "Use Full Chart History" setting, this will cause the script will calculate from everything it has access to on your current chart.
🔹 Display
The Pivot Point Profile display can be customized to fit a various range of chart styles and visual needs. The specific settings to adjust these can be located in the "Profile Display" Section of the User Inputs.
Profile Width: Sets the Left to Right Width of the Profile. This is the maximum width that the profile will occupy and will scale to fit within this width.
Profile Offset: Sets the distance of the Profile's Axis from the current chart candle. This moves the entire profile left and right to enable to user to set the distance between the profile and the current candle.
Direction: Changes the display direction of the profile, allowing for "Left", "Right", or "Center" display styles.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Pivot Point Parameters
Pivot Type: Choose between "Fractal Pivots" or "SMC Structure" to use as the basis for pivots.
Length: Sets the length for the pivot calculations.
🔹 Profile Calculations Parameters
Lookback: Sets the number of pivots to calculate within, in increments of high and low pairs. (Setting this to 1 = 1 Pivot High & 1 Pivot Low)
Use Full Chart History: Disregards the set lookback and instead uses all available chart data to calculate from.
Row Size: Sets the total number of rows to calculate the profile with.
🔹 Profile Display
Profile Width: Sets the max left & right width (in bars) that the profile will occupy.
Profile Offset: Sets the distance of the profile axis from the last chart bar.
Direction: Sets the display direction
🔹 Concentrated Areas
Highlight CAs: Extends the rows left from concentrated areas.
CA Threshold: Manually set the threshold for determining concentrated areas, when disabled, only the largest rows will be displayed.
CA Averages: Toggles the concentrated area averages for each pivot direction.
Note: CA Averages can be displayed independently without CA Highlights being displayed, and vice versa.

Order Block Detection By Zia (StockWiz)What is an Order Block?
An order block is a concept used in technical analysis, particularly in price action trading and supply and demand analysis. It refers to a significant area on a price chart where institutional traders, such as banks and hedge funds, have placed large orders. These blocks of orders often create strong support or resistance levels, as they represent areas where the "smart money" has shown interest in buying or selling an asset.
Characteristics of Order Blocks:
1. High Volume: Order blocks are typically associated with high trading volume, indicating strong participation from large players in the market.
2. Price Rejection: They often lead to sharp reversals or consolidations in price, as the large orders absorb the market's liquidity and push the price in the opposite direction.
3. Formation: Order blocks are usually formed after significant price movements, such as strong bullish or bearish trends, and can be identified by clusters of candles with long wicks or significant body sizes.
4. Support and Resistance: Once identified, order blocks can serve as potential support or resistance levels in future price movements. Prices often return to these areas, where new orders can be executed.
Identifying Order Blocks:
To identify order blocks, traders look for specific patterns and price actions on the chart. Here is a step-by-step guide to finding order blocks:
1. Identify a Strong Move: Look for strong bullish or bearish moves, which are often the result of large institutional orders.
2. Find Consolidation : After the strong move, find areas where the price consolidates. This is where large orders were likely placed.
3. Look for Rejections: Identify areas where the price has been rejected multiple times, creating a clear support or resistance zone.
4. Mark the Order Block: Draw a rectangle around the consolidation area to mark the order block on your chart.

EM Visible Range Volume Profile█ OVERVIEW
ᴇᴍ VRVP (Visible Range Volume Profile) indicator calculates the volume profile within the visible range of prices.
Volume Profile is an advanced technical analysis indicator that shows trading activity over a specified period of time at certain price levels.
The indicator plots a histogram on the chart that reflects dominant or significant price levels based that are based on volume.
VP concept
VP Components
Open, High, Low, Close:
There are different types of volume profile indicators but the majority of them will designate the OHLC.
Point of Control:
A price level with the most traded volume during one session, also known as POC.
High Volume Node (HVN):
Area of high volume relative to surrounding price action.
Low Volume Node (LVN):
Area of low volume relative to surrounding price action.
Analysis of price in relation to high and low volume nodes is useful when building context around your trades.
█ VOLUME PROFILE STRATEGIES
The distribution of a volume profile can help you determine the strength of a trend and spot potential reversal zones. Let’s take a look at the five different distribution types.
Neutral D
In order for price to break away from value, either the buyers or the sellers will have to become more aggressive than the other side. When this occurs, it gives us with a vital piece of information.
Now we know who were the agressors at this price level: either the buyers or the sellers. That's why this is a good level for a trading setup if the price bounces back.

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!
Money Flow Profile [LuxAlgo]The Money Flow Profile is a charting tool that measures the traded volume or the money flow at all price levels on the market over a specified time period and highlights the relationship between the price of a given asset and the willingness of traders to either buy or sell it, allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels and to analyze the trading activity of a particular user-selected range.
This tool combines a volume/money flow profile, a sentiment profile, and price levels, where the right side of the profile highlights the distribution of the traded activity/money flow at different price levels, the left side of the profile highlights the market sentiment at those price levels, and in the middle the price levels.
🔶 USAGE
A volume/money flow profile is an advanced charting tool that displays the traded volume/money flow at different price levels over a specific period. It helps traders visualize where the majority of trading activity/money flow has occurred.
A sentiment profile is a difference between buy and sell volume/money flow aiming to highlight the sentiment/dominance at specific price levels.
Each row of the profile presents figures on volume and money flow specific to price levels.
High volume/money flow nodes indicate areas of high activity and are likely to act as support or resistance in the future. They attract price and try to hold it there. Conversely, low-volume nodes are areas with low trading activity, that are less subject to get revisited by the price. The market often bounces right over these levels, not staying for long. The "Profile Heatmap" option of the script helps to better emphasize the trading activity within each areas.
By measuring the traded activity at each price level the script presents an ability to highlight the consolidation zones, in other words, highlights accumulation and distribution zones. When the price moves toward one end of the consolidation and volume pick up, it can foreshadow a potential breakout.
Level of Significance, Point of Control, Highest Sentiment Zone, and Profile Price levels are some of the other profile-related options available with the script.
🔶 SETTINGS

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.
