Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman)

█ Overview
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman) builds a vertical, price-by-price profile that blends total participation with balance quality. Instead of plotting raw volume alone, it weights each price bin by:

1. how balanced buyers vs. sellers were,
   
2. how compressed price was inside that bin,
   
3. how often price revisited it.
   

The result spotlights fair value and acceptance zones while still revealing momentum/imbalance areas—ideal for reading rotation vs. trend, continuation vs. exhaustion, and the prices that truly matter.


Highlights

• Balanced score that fuses delta symmetry, price compression, and hit frequency.
  
• Optional heat spectrum for instant read of participation density and balance strength.
  
• POC-like auto highlight of the dominant price level within the lookback window.
  
• Works across timeframes for session profiling, swing context, or regime shifts.
  

█ How It Works

⚪Profile Construction
The script scans a fixed History Length and divides the full high–low span into Bin Count price bins. For every bar in the window, its volume is proportionally distributed across the bins it overlaps, so wide-range bars contribute across multiple bins, while narrow bars concentrate where they traded most. This yields per-bin totals for:

• Total Volume (participation)
  
• Positive / Negative Volume (up vs. down bar contribution)
  
• Hit Count (how often price touched the bin)
  
• Average Price Range (mean bar range inside the bin; a proxy for compression)
  

⚪Delta & Direction
For each bin, delta symmetry is measured via the ratio of |pos − neg| to total volume. Bins with balanced two-sided flow score higher than one-sided, runaway bins. This curbs the tendency of raw volume profiles to over-reward impulsive bursts.

⚪Balance Score
Each price bin gets a balance score that multiplies three normalized components:

1. Delta Balance: rewards bins where buy/sell pressure is symmetrical (configurable via Volume Momentum Weight).
   
2. Price Compression: rewards bins where average bar range is relatively small (configurable via Price Momentum Weight).
   
3. Durability: rewards bins revisited often (configurable via Hits Weight).
   

A Min Hits Filter removes flimsy, single-touch bins from dominating the score. The profile can display pure totals or Average Mode (Vol/Hit) to compare bins fairly when hit counts differ.

⚪Display & Heat Spectrum
The final plotted bar length per bin is the display volume (total or average) weighted by the balance score and normalized to 100.

• POC-like Highlight: The 100% bin is outlined (and labeled) when Highlight Max Volume Bin is ON.
  
• Heat Spectrum (optional): A background gradient scales with normalized bar length and balance hue.
  
• Balance Hue: Interpolates between Balance Low/High Colors so high-balance bins visually pop as “accepted value.”
  

█ How to Use

The profile is effectively a map of price acceptance:

• High, bright bars = strong participation at balanced prices → fair value/rotation zones.
  
• Thin, muted bars = poor acceptance → imbalance or transition areas.
  
• POC-style level = most influential price in the lookback window.
  

⚪Find Fair Value & Acceptance
Thick, high-balance bins mark value. Expect rotation: price often revisits or oscillates around these areas. They’re prime zones for mean-reversion fades, scale-ins, and risk-defined trades against the edges.


⚪Identify Imbalance & Funnels
Low-balance, low-hit bins often act like air pockets—price can move through them quickly. These zones are helpful for continuation trades into thin areas or for timing breakout pulls back into acceptance.


⚪POC Dynamics
When price leaves the POC and returns, watch for re-acceptance (price comes back into the POC or high-balance zone and stays there.) vs. rejection (trend continuation away from value). The auto-highlight makes this quick to judge.


█ Settings

• History Length – Bars scanned for the profile. Longer = broader context, slower to adapt.
  
• Bin Count – Vertical resolution of bins between the window’s min and max price.
  
• Display Shift – Offsets the rendering rightward for clarity.
  
• Average Mode (Vol/Hit) – ON uses average volume per visit; OFF uses total volume.
  
• Volume Momentum Weight – Emphasizes two-way flow; higher values favor balanced bins over one-sided deltas.
  
• Price Momentum Weight – Emphasizes compression; higher values favor narrow-range, coiling price action.
  
• Hits Weight – Rewards bins revisited often; higher values favor durable acceptance.
  
• Min Hits Filter – Minimum visits a bin needs to qualify for the balance score.
  
• Show Heat Spectrum – Background gradient for quick read of density and balance.
  
• Highlight Max Volume Bin – Outline + raw volume label for the dominant bin.
  
• Max Volume Color – Color used for that highlight.
  
• Balance Low/High Colors – Gradient endpoints for balance hue across the profile.
