Volume Profile Grid [Alpha Extract]A sophisticated volume distribution analysis system that transforms market activity into institutional-grade visual profiles, revealing hidden support/resistance zones and market participant behavior. Utilizing advanced price level segmentation, bullish/bearish volume separation, and dynamic range analysis, the Volume Profile Grid delivers comprehensive market structure insights with Point of Control (POC) identification, Value Area boundaries, and volume delta analysis. The system features intelligent visualization modes, real-time sentiment analysis, and flexible range selection to provide traders with clear, actionable volume-based market context.
🔶 Dynamic Range Analysis Engine
Implements dual-mode range selection with visible chart analysis and fixed period lookback, automatically adjusting to current market view or analyzing specified historical periods. The system intelligently calculates optimal bar counts while maintaining performance through configurable maximum limits, ensuring responsive profile generation across all timeframes with institutional-grade precision.
// Dynamic period calculation with intelligent caching
get_analysis_period() =>
if i_use_visible_range
chart_start_time = chart.left_visible_bar_time
current_time = last_bar_time
time_span = current_time - chart_start_time
tf_seconds = timeframe.in_seconds()
estimated_bars = time_span / (tf_seconds * 1000)
range_bars = math.floor(estimated_bars)
final_bars = math.min(range_bars, i_max_visible_bars)
math.max(final_bars, 50) // Minimum threshold
else
math.max(i_periods, 50)
🔶 Advanced Bull/Bear Volume Separation
Employs sophisticated candle classification algorithms to separate bullish and bearish volume at each price level, with weighted distribution based on bar intersection ratios. The system analyzes open/close relationships to determine volume direction, applying proportional allocation for doji patterns and ensuring accurate representation of buying versus selling pressure across the entire price spectrum.
🔶 Multi-Mode Volume Visualization
Features three distinct display modes for bull/bear volume representation: Split mode creates mirrored profiles from a central axis, Side by Side mode displays sequential bull/bear segments, and Stacked mode separates volumes vertically. Each mode offers unique insights into market participant behavior with customizable width, thickness, and color parameters for optimal visual clarity.
// Bull/Bear volume calculation with weighted distribution
for bar_offset = 0 to actual_periods - 1
bar_high = high
bar_low = low
bar_volume = volume
// Calculate intersection weight
weight = math.min(bar_high, next_level) - math.max(bar_low, current_level)
weight := weight / (bar_high - bar_low)
weighted_volume = bar_volume * weight
// Classify volume direction
if bar_close > bar_open
level_bull_volume += weighted_volume
else if bar_close < bar_open
level_bear_volume += weighted_volume
else // Doji handling
level_bull_volume += weighted_volume * 0.5
level_bear_volume += weighted_volume * 0.5
🔶 Point of Control & Value Area Detection
Implements institutional-standard POC identification by locating the price level with maximum volume accumulation, providing critical support/resistance zones. The Value Area calculation uses sophisticated sorting algorithms to identify the price range containing 70% of trading volume, revealing the market's accepted value zone where institutional participants concentrate their activity.
🔶 Volume Delta Analysis System
Incorporates real-time volume delta calculation with configurable dominance thresholds to identify significant bull/bear imbalances. The system visually highlights price levels where buying or selling pressure exceeds threshold percentages, providing immediate insight into directional volume flow and potential reversal zones through color-coded delta indicators.
// Value Area calculation using 70% volume accumulation
total_volume_sum = array.sum(total_volumes)
target_volume = total_volume_sum * 0.70
// Sort volumes to find highest activity zones
for i = 0 to array.size(sorted_volumes) - 2
for j = i + 1 to array.size(sorted_volumes) - 1
if array.get(sorted_volumes, j) > array.get(sorted_volumes, i)
// Swap and track indices for value area boundaries
// Accumulate until 70% threshold reached
for i = 0 to array.size(sorted_indices) - 1
accumulated_volume += vol
array.push(va_levels, array.get(volume_levels, idx))
if accumulated_volume >= target_volume
break
❓How It Works
🔶 Weighted Volume Distribution
Implements proportional volume allocation based on the percentage of each bar that intersects with price levels. When a bar spans multiple levels, volume is distributed proportionally based on the intersection ratio, ensuring precise representation of trading activity across the entire price spectrum without double-counting or volume loss.
🔶 Real-Time Profile Generation
Profiles regenerate on each bar close when in visible range mode, automatically adapting to chart zoom and scroll actions. The system maintains optimal performance through intelligent caching mechanisms and selective line updates, ensuring smooth operation even with maximum resolution settings and extended analysis periods.
🔶 Market Sentiment Analysis
Features comprehensive volume analysis table displaying total volume metrics, bullish/bearish percentages, and overall market sentiment classification. The system calculates volume dominance ratios in real-time, providing immediate insight into whether buyers or sellers control the current price structure with percentage-based sentiment thresholds.
🔶 Visual Profile Mapping
Provides multi-layered visual feedback through colored volume bars, POC line highlighting, Value Area boundaries, and optional delta indicators. The system supports profile mirroring for alternative perspectives, line extension for future reference, and customizable label positioning with detailed price information at critical levels.
Why Choose Volume Profile Grid
The Volume Profile Grid represents the evolution of volume analysis tools, combining traditional volume profile concepts with modern visualization techniques and intelligent analysis algorithms. By integrating dynamic range selection, sophisticated bull/bear separation, and multi-mode visualization with POC/Value Area detection, it provides traders with institutional-quality market structure analysis that adapts to any trading style. The comprehensive delta analysis and sentiment monitoring system eliminates guesswork while the flexible visualization options ensure optimal clarity across all market conditions, making it an essential tool for traders seeking to understand true market dynamics through volume-based price discovery.

Auction Market Theory: Value Area & VWAP Fade - DashboardAn "Auction Market Theory" dashboard is a visual summary of the market's state according to the principles of Auction Market Theory. It consolidates key metrics like the Value Area (VA), Point of Control (POC), and Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) into a single, easy-to-read panel on your chart.
What a Dashboard Shows
The purpose of the dashboard is to give traders a quick, real-time snapshot of the market's auction process. It helps you answer critical questions like:
Where is the market's "fair value"? This is shown by the Value Area (VA) range.
Where is the most volume concentrated? This is the Point of Control (POC), the price that acts as a gravitational center.
How are market participants currently positioned? The VWAP provides a measure of the average price paid, weighted by volume. Price trading above VWAP suggests a bullish volume bias, while price below suggests a bearish bias.
Is the market in a state of balance or imbalance? The relationship between the current price and these key levels helps to quickly determine if the market is accepting a price range (balance) or rejecting it (imbalance/trend).
How to Interpret the Dashboard
Value Area (VA) & Point of Control (POC)
These metrics are derived from a volume profile and are the foundation of the auction theory dashboard. The dashboard displays the VA's low and high, as well as the POC. These levels define the market's "accepted" price range for a given period.
VWAP
VWAP acts as a real-time moving average that is more responsive to volume than a standard moving average. It's often used as an intraday anchor. When price is significantly stretched from the VWAP (and its standard deviation bands), it's a signal of a potential over-extension and a target for a mean-reversion trade.
Dashboard's Role in Trading
The dashboard is not an entry signal itself, but a contextual tool. It provides the framework for your trading decisions. For a "fade the edge" strategy, you would use the dashboard to:
Identify the edges: See the exact price levels of the VA and VWAP bands.
Wait for the stretch: Look for price to move beyond those edges.
Confirm the reversal: Only then would you look at other indicators (like RSI or volume spikes) for an entry signal.
Manage the trade: Use the POC as a potential take-profit target, as price has a high probability of returning to this point of volume consensus.

Volume Profile (Simple)Simple Volume Profile (Simple)
Master the Market's Structure with a Clear View of Volume
by mercaderoaurum
The Simple Volume Profile (Simple) indicator removes the guesswork by showing you exactly where the most significant trading activity has occurred. By visualizing the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA) for today and yesterday, you can instantly identify the price levels that matter most, giving you a critical edge in your intraday trading.
This tool is specifically optimized for day trading SPY on a 1-minute chart, but it's fully customizable for any symbol or timeframe.
Key Features
Multi-Day Analysis: Automatically plots the volume profiles for the current and previous trading sessions, allowing you to see how today's market is reacting to yesterday's key levels.
Automatic Key Level Plotting: Instantly see the most important levels from each session:
Point of Control (POC): The single price level with the highest traded volume, acting as a powerful magnet for price.
Value Area High (VAH): The upper boundary of the area where 50% of the volume was traded. It often acts as resistance.
Value Area Low (VAL): The lower boundary of the 50% value area, often acting as support.
Extended Levels: The POC, VAH, and VAL from previous sessions are automatically extended into the current day, providing a clear map of potential support and resistance zones.
Customizable Sessions: While optimized for the US stock market, you can define any session time and time zone, making it a versatile tool for forex, crypto, and futures traders.
Core Trading Strategies
The Simple Volume Profile helps you understand market context. Instead of trading blind, you can now make decisions based on where the market has shown the most interest.
1. Identifying Support and Resistance
This is the most direct way to use the indicator. The extended lines from the previous day are your roadmap for the current session.
Previous Day's POC (pPOC): This is the most significant level. Watch for price to react strongly here. It can act as powerful support if approached from above or strong resistance if approached from below.
Previous Day's VAH (pVAH): Expect this level to act as initial resistance. A clean break above pVAH can signal a strong bullish trend.
Previous Day's VAL (pVAL): Expect this level to act as initial support. A firm break below pVAL can indicate a strong bearish trend.
Example Strategy: If SPY opens and rallies up to the previous day's VAH and stalls, this is a high-probability area to look for a short entry, with a stop loss just above the level.
2. The "Open-Drive" Rejection
How the market opens in relation to the previous day's value area is a powerful tell.
Open Above Yesterday's Value Area: If the market opens above the pVAH, it signals strength. The first pullback to test the pVAH is often a key long entry point. The level is expected to flip from resistance to support.
Open Below Yesterday's Value Area: If the market opens below the pVAL, it signals weakness. The first rally to test the pVAL is a potential short entry, as the level is likely to act as new resistance.
3. Fading the Extremes
When price pushes far outside the previous day's value area, it can become overextended.
Reversal at Highs: If price rallies significantly above the pVAH and then starts to lose momentum (e.g., forming bearish divergence on RSI or a topping pattern), it could be an opportunity to short the market, targeting a move back toward the pVAH or pPOC.
Reversal at Lows: Conversely, if price drops far below the pVAL and shows signs of bottoming, it can be a good opportunity to look for a long entry, targeting a reversion back to the value area.
Recommended Settings (SPY Intraday)
These settings are the default and are optimized for scalping or day trading SPY on a 1-minute chart.
Value Area (%): 50%. This creates a tighter, more sensitive value area, perfect for identifying the most critical intraday zones.
Number of Rows: 1000. This high resolution is essential for a low-volatility instrument like SPY, ensuring that the profile is detailed and the levels are precise.
Session Time: 0400-1800 in America/New_York. This captures the full pre-market and core session, which is crucial for understanding the day's complete volume story.

Advanced Market TheoryADVANCED MARKET THEORY (AMT)
This is not an indicator. It is a lens through which to see the true nature of the market.
Welcome to the definitive application of Auction Market Theory. What you have before you is the culmination of decades of market theory, fused with state-of-the-art data analysis and visual engineering. It is an institutional-grade intelligence engine designed for the serious trader who seeks to move beyond simplistic indicators and understand the fundamental forces that drive price.
This guide is your complete reference. Read it. Study it. Internalize it. The market is a complex story, and this tool is the language with which to read it.
PART I: THE GRAND THEORY - A UNIVERSE IN AN AUCTION
To understand the market, you must first understand its purpose. The market is a mechanism of discovery, organized by a continuous, two-way auction.
This foundational concept was pioneered by the legendary trader J. Peter Steidlmayer at the Chicago Board of Trade in the 1980s. He observed that beneath the chaotic facade of ticking prices lies a beautifully organized structure. The market's primary function is not to go up or down, but to facilitate trade by seeking a price level that encourages the maximum amount of interaction between buyers and sellers. This price is "value."
The Organizing Principle: The Normal Distribution
Over any given period, the market's activity will naturally form a bell curve (a normal distribution) turned on its side. This is the blueprint of the auction.
The Point of Control (POC): This is the peak of the bell curve—the single price level where the most trade occurred. It represents the point of maximum consensus, the "fairest price" as determined by the market participants. It is the gravitational center of the session.
The Value Area (VA): This is the heart of the bell curve, typically containing 70% of the session's activity (one standard deviation). This is the zone of "accepted value." Prices within this area are considered fair and are where the market is most comfortable conducting business.
The Extremes: The thin areas at the top and bottom of the curve are the "unfair" prices. These are levels where one side of the auction (buyers at the top, sellers at the bottom) was shut off, and trade was quickly rejected. These are areas of emotional trading and excess.
The Narrative of the Day: Balance vs. Imbalance
Every trading session is a story of the market's search for value.
Balance: When the market rotates and builds a symmetrical, bell-shaped profile, it is in a state of balance . Buyers and sellers are in agreement, and the market is range-bound.
Imbalance: When the market moves decisively away from a balanced area, it is in a state of imbalance . This is a trend. The market is actively seeking new information and a new area of value because the old one was rejected.
Your Purpose as a Trader
Your job is to read this story in real-time. Are we in balance or imbalance? Is the auction succeeding or failing at these new prices? The Advanced Market Theory engine is your Rosetta Stone to translate this complex narrative into actionable intelligence.
PART II: THE AMT ENGINE - AN EVOLUTION IN MARKET VISION
A standard market profile tool shows you a picture. The AMT Engine gives you the architect's full schematics, the engineer's stress tests, and the psychologist's behavioral analysis, all at once.
This is what makes it the Advanced Market Theory. We have fused the timeless principles with layers of modern intelligence:
TRINITY ANALYSIS: You can view the market through three distinct lenses. A Volume Profile shows where the money traded. A TPO (Time) Profile shows where the market spent its time. The revolutionary Hybrid Profile fuses both, giving you a complete picture of market conviction—marrying volume with duration.
AUTOMATED STRUCTURAL DECODING: The engine acts as your automated analyst, identifying critical structural phenomena in real-time:
Poor Highs/Lows: Weak auction points that signal a high probability of reversal.
Single Prints & Ledges: Footprints of rapid, aggressive market moves and areas of strong institutional acceptance.
Day Type Classification: The engine analyzes the session's personality as it develops ("Trend Day," "Normal Day," etc.), allowing you to adapt your strategy to the market's current character.
MACRO & MICRO FUSION: Via the Composite Profile , the engine merges weeks of data to reveal the major institutional battlegrounds that govern long-term price action. You can see the daily skirmish and the multi-month war on a single chart.
ORDER FLOW INTELLIGENCE: The ultimate advancement is the integrated Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) engine. This moves beyond structure to analyze the raw aggression of buyers versus sellers. It is your window into the market's soul, automatically detecting critical Divergences that often precede major trend shifts.
ADAPTIVE SIGNALING: The engine's signal generation is not static; it is a thinking system. It evaluates setups based on a multi-factor Confluence Score , understands the market Regime (e.g., High Volatility), and adjusts its own confidence ( Probability % ) based on the complete context.
This is not a tool that gives you signals. This is a tool that gives you understanding .
PART III: THE VISUAL KEY - A LEXICON OF MARKET STRUCTURE
Every element on your chart is a piece of information. This is your guide to reading it fluently.
--- THE CORE ARCHITECTURE ---
The Profile Histogram: The primary visual on the left of each session. Its shape is the story. A thin profile is a trend; a fat, symmetrical profile is balance.
Blue Box : The zone of accepted, "fair" value. The heart of the session's business.
Bright Orange Line & Label : The Point of Control. The gravitational center. The price of maximum consensus. The most significant intraday level.
Dashed Blue Lines & Labels : The boundaries of value. Critical inflection points where the market decides to either remain in balance or seek value elsewhere.
Dashed Cyan Lines & Labels : The major, long-term structural levels derived from weeks of data. These are institutional reference points and carry immense weight. Treat them as primary support and resistance.
Dashed Orange Lines & Labels : Marks a Poor or Unfinished Auction . These represent emotional, weak extremes and are high-probability targets for future price action.
Diamond Markers : Mark Single Prints , which are footprints of aggressive, one-sided moves that left a "liquidity vacuum." Price is often drawn back to these levels to "repair" the poor structure.
Arrow Markers : Mark Ledges , which are areas of strong horizontal acceptance. They often act as powerful support/resistance in the future.
Dotted Gray Lines & Labels : The projected daily range based on multiples of the Initial Balance . Use them to set realistic profit targets and gauge the day's potential.
--- THE SIGNAL SUITE ---
Colored Triangles : These are your high-probability entry signals. The color is a strategic playbook:
Gold Triangle : ELITE Signal. An A+ setup with overwhelming confluence. This is the highest quality signal the engine can produce.
Yellow Triangle : FADE Signal. A counter-trend setup against an exhausted move at a structural extreme.
Cyan Triangle : BREAKOUT Signal. A momentum setup attempting to capitalize on a breakout from the value area.
Purple Triangle : ROTATION Signal. A mean-reversion setup within the value area, typically from one edge towards the POC.
Magenta Triangle : LIQUIDITY Signal. A sophisticated setup that identifies a "stop run" or liquidity sweep.
Percentage Number: The engine's calculated probability of success . This is not a guarantee, but a data-driven confidence score.
Dotted Gray Line: The signal's Entry Price .
Dashed Green Lines: The calculated Take Profit Targets .
Dashed Red Line: The calculated Stop Loss level.
PART IV: THE DASHBOARD - YOUR STRATEGIC COMMAND CENTER
The dashboard is your real-time intelligence briefing. It synthesizes all the engine's analysis into a clear, concise, and constantly updating summary.
--- CURRENT SESSION ---
POC, VAH, VAL: The live values for the core structure.
Profile Shape: Is the current auction top-heavy ( b-shaped ), bottom-heavy ( P-shaped ), or balanced ( D-shaped )?
VA Width: Is the value area expanding (trending) or contracting (balancing)?
Day Type: The engine's judgment on the day's personality. Use this to select the right strategy.
IB Range & POC Trend: Key metrics for understanding the opening sentiment and its evolution.
--- CVD ANALYSIS ---
Session CVD: The raw order flow. Is there more net buying or selling pressure in this session?
CVD Trend & DIVERGENCE: This is your order flow intelligence. Is the order flow confirming the price action? If "DIVERGENCE" flashes, it is a critical, high-alert warning of a potential reversal.
--- MARKET METRICS ---
Volume, ATR, RSI: Your standard contextual metrics, providing a quick read on activity, volatility, and momentum.
Regime: The engine's assessment of the broad market environment: High Volatility (favor breakouts), Low Volatility (favor mean reversion), or Normal .
--- PROFILE STATS, COMPOSITE, & STRUCTURE ---
These sections give you a quick quantitative summary of the profile structure, the major long-term Composite levels, and any active Poor Structures.
--- SIGNAL TYPES & ACTIVE SIGNAL ---
A permanent key to the signal colors and their meanings, along with the full details of the most recent active signal: its Type , Probability , Entry , Stop , and Target .
PART V: THE INPUTS MENU - CALIBRATING YOUR LENS
This engine is designed to be calibrated to your specific needs as a trader. Every input is a lever. This is not a "one size fits all" tool. The extensive tooltips are your built-in user manual, but here are the key areas of focus:
--- MARKET PROFILE ENGINE ---
Profile Mode: This is the most fundamental choice. Volume is the standard for price-based support and resistance. TPO is for analyzing time-based acceptance. Hybrid is the professional's choice, fusing both for a complete picture.
Profile Resolution: This is your zoom lens. Lower values for scalping and intraday precision. Higher values for a cleaner, big-picture view suitable for swing trading.
Composite Sessions: Your timeframe for macro analysis. 5-10 sessions for a weekly view; 20-30 sessions for a monthly, structural view.
--- SESSION & VALUE AREA ---
These settings must be configured correctly for your specific asset. The Session times are critical. The Initial Balance should reflect the key opening period for your market (60 minutes is standard for equities).
--- SIGNAL ENGINE & RISK MANAGEMENT ---
Signal Mode: THIS IS YOUR PERSONAL RISK PROFILE. Set it to Conservative to see only the absolute best A+ setups. Use Elite or Balanced for a standard approach. Use Aggressive only if you are an experienced scalper comfortable with managing more frequent, lower-probability setups.
ATR Multipliers: This suite gives you full, dynamic control over your risk/reward parameters. You can precisely define your initial stop loss distance and profit targets based on the market's current volatility.
A FINAL WORD FROM THE ARCHITECT
The creation of this engine was a journey into the very heart of market dynamics. It was born from a frustrating truth: that the most profound market theories were often confined to books and expensive institutional platforms, inaccessible to the modern retail trader. The goal was to bridge that gap.
The challenge was monumental. Making each discrete system—the volume profile, the TPO counter, the composite engine, the CVD tracker, the signal generator, the dynamic dashboard—work was a task in itself. But the true struggle, the frustrating, painstaking process that consumed countless hours, was making them work in unison . It was about ensuring the CVD analysis could intelligently inform the signal engine, that the day type classification could adjust the probability scores, and that the composite levels could provide context to the intraday structure, all in a seamless, real-time dance of data.
This engine is the result of that relentless pursuit of integration. It is built on the belief that a trader's greatest asset is not a signal, but clarity . It was designed to clear the noise, to organize the chaos, and to present the elegant, underlying logic of the market auction so that you can make better, more informed, and more confident decisions.
It is now in your hands. Use it not as a crutch, but as a lens. See the market for what it truly is.
"The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."
- John Maynard Keynes

VWAP Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
VWAP Volume Profile is an advanced hybrid of the VWAP and volume profile concepts. It visualizes how volume accumulates relative to VWAP movement—separating rising (+VWAP) and declining (−VWAP) activity into two mirrored horizontal profiles. It highlights the dominant price bins (POCs) where volume peaked during each directional phase, helping traders spot hidden accumulation or distribution zones.
🔵 CONCEPTS
VWAP-Driven Profiling: Unlike standard volume profiles, this tool segments volume based on VWAP movement—accumulating positive or negative volume depending on VWAP slope.
Dual-Sided Profiles: Profiles expand horizontally to the right of price. Separate bins show rising (+) and falling (−) VWAP volume.
Bin Logic: Volume is accumulated into defined horizontal bins based on VWAP’s position relative to price ranges.
Gradient Coloring: Volume bars are colored with a dynamic gradient to emphasize intensity and direction.
POC Highlighting: The highest-volume bin in each profile type (+/-) is marked with a transparent box and label.
Contextual VWAP Line: VWAP is plotted and dynamically colored (green = rising, orange = falling) for instant trend context.
Candle Overlay: Price candles are recolored to match the VWAP slope for full visual integration.
🔵 FEATURES
Dual-sided horizontal volume profiles based on VWAP slope.
Supports rising VWAP , falling VWAP , or both simultaneously.
Customizable number of bins and lookback period.
Dynamically colored VWAP line to show rising/falling bias.
POC detection and labeling with volume values for +VWAP and −VWAP.
Candlesticks are recolored to match VWAP bias for intuitive momentum tracking.
Optional background boxes with customizable styling.
Adaptive volume scaling to normalize bar length across markets.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use POC zones to identify high-volume consolidation areas and potential support/resistance levels.
Watch for shifts in VWAP direction and observe how volume builds differently during uptrends and downtrends.
Use the gradient profile shape to detect accumulation (widening volume below price) or distribution (above price).
Use candle coloring for real-time confirmation of VWAP bias.
Adjust the profile period or bin count to fit your trading style (e.g., intraday scalping or swing trading).
🔵 CONCLUSION
VWAP Volume Profile merges two essential concepts—volume and VWAP—into a single, high-precision tool. By visualizing how volume behaves in relation to VWAP movement, it uncovers hidden dynamics often missed by traditional profiles. Perfect for intraday and swing traders who want a more nuanced read on market structure, trend strength, and volume flow.
Open Interest Footprint IQ [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Th e Open Interest Footprint IQ indicator is an advanced visualization tool designed for cryptocurrency markets. It provides a granular, real-time breakdown of open interest changes across different price levels, allowing traders to see how aggressive market participation is distributed within each bar.
Unlike standard footprint charts that rely solely on volume, this indicator offers unique insights by focusing on the interaction between price action and changes in open interest (OI) — a leading metric often used to infer trader intent and positioning.
How it works
The Open Interest Footprint IQ processes lower timeframe price and open interest data to build a footprint-style chart that shows how traders are positioning themselves within each candle.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
1. Granular OI & Price Sampling
The script retrieves lower-timeframe data (1-minute, 1-second, or 1-tick, based on your setting).
For each candle, it captures:
High and low prices
Price change direction
Change in open interest (OI)
2. Classifying Trader Behavior
For each lower-timeframe segment, the indicator determines the type of positioning occurring based on price movement and OI change:
If price is moving up and open interest is increasing, it suggests that long positions are being opened. This is considered a "Longs Opening" event, labeled as UU (Up/Up).
If price is moving up but open interest is decreasing, it indicates that short positions are being closed. This is referred to as UD (Up/Down), or "Shorts Closing."
If price is moving down and open interest is increasing, it signals that short positions are being opened. This is known as DU (Down/Up), or "Shorts Opening."
If price is moving down while open interest is also decreasing, it means that long positions are being closed. This is labeled as DD (Down/Down), or "Longs Closing."
These are stored in separate arrays and displayed at specific price levels.
It is particularly useful for identifying:
Where longs or shorts are opening/closing positions
Stacked imbalances (indicative of potential absorption or exhaustion)
Value area zones and POC (Point of Control) based on OI, not volume
This footprint runs on your choice of sub-bar granularity and is ideal for high-frequency trading, scalping, and entries based on order flow dynamics.
Key Features
Footprint Visualization
At each price level within a candle:
Long/short opening and closing behavior is broken down.
Delta (net open interest change) is displayed both numerically and color-coded.
Optional gradient coloring shows intensity and type of flow (longs/shorts opened/closed).
Cumulative or per-bar reset modes allow you to track OI evolution over time.
The image above explains the information that each Footprint box shows across a candlestick!
Each footprint box shows:
OI Delta
OI Delta %
Longs Opened (LO)
Longs Closed (LC)
Shorts Opened (SO)
Shorts Closed (SC)
The image above explains the color-coding feature of the indicator.
Boxes are color coded to show which position action
dominated at the price area.
For this example:
Green boxes = Long positions being opened dominated
Purple boxes = Long positions being closed dominated
Red boxes = Short positions being opened dominated
Yellow boxes = Short positions being closed dominated
All colors are customizable.
Additionally, for traders who are only interested in whether OI increased/decreased, a "two-color" option is available in the settings.
For the two-color option, footprint boxes can be one of two colors. Showing whether OI increased or decreased at the level.
Cumulative Levels
Open Interest Footprint IQ contains a "Cumulative Levels" feature that tracks/stores open interest change at tick levels over time, rather than resetting per bar.
With the "Cumulative Levels" feature enabled, traders can see open interest changes persist across all candlesticks. This feature is useful for determining whether longs opening, longs closing, shorts opening, or shorts closing are dominating at particular price areas over time rather than on a single bar.
A useful feature to see if shorts/longs are favoring certain price throughout the day, week, month, etc.
Input Settings Explained
Granularity (Dropdown: Granularity)
Options: 1-Minute, 1-Second, 1-Tick
Determines how finely the script samples the lower timeframe data to construct the footprint.
For precision:
1-Tick = Highest accuracy, but more resource-intensive.
1-Second/1-Minute = Suitable for broader or more zoomed-out analysis.
Tick Level Distance (Tick Level Distance (0 = Auto))
Defines the vertical spacing between levels in the footprint chart.
If 0, the script uses an automatic calculation based on ATR to adapt to volatility.
Set a manual value (e.g., 5) to control the height granularity of each level in ticks.
Cumulative Levels (Toggle)
If enabled, the footprint builds cumulatively over time, rather than resetting per candle.
Use case: Visualize ongoing buildup of OI activity across a session or day.
Cumulative Levels Reset TF (Timeframe)
Sets the reset interval for the cumulative view (e.g., reset daily, hourly, etc.)
Works only when Cumulative Levels is enabled.
Delta Box Display Settings
Show Delta Percentage
Toggles the display of the percentage change in OI across the footprint level.
Helpful to gauge how aggressive positioning is relative to total OI at that level.
Show Longs/Shorts (Opened/Closed)
Show Longs Opened: Displays OI increase in up candles (price ↑, OI ↑).
Show Longs Closed: Displays OI decrease in down candles (price ↓, OI ↓).
Show Shorts Opened: OI increase in down candles (price ↓, OI ↑).
Show Shorts Closed: OI decrease in up candles (price ↑, OI ↓).
These behaviors are color-coded to give traders instant context:
Blue-green for longs opening.
Purple for longs closing.
Red for shorts opening.
Yellow for shorts closing.
Value Area & POC
Value Area % (Value Area %)
Controls how much cumulative open interest is used to define the value area.
Example: 70% means the smallest range of prices that contains 70% of total OI in that bar will be marked.
Helps identify zones of interest, support/resistance, and institutional levels.
The image above explains how to identify the VAH/VAL/POC shown by Open Interest Footprint IQ.
VAH = Upper 🞂
POC = ●
VAL = Lower 🞂
Imbalances
Imbalance Percentage
Defines the minimum delta % required at a level to be marked as an imbalance.
If the net open interest change at a level exceeds this threshold, a visual marker appears.
Stacked Imbalance Count
If the number of consecutive imbalance levels meets this count, a “Stacked Imbalance” alert will trigger.
This can signal aggressive buying or selling pressure, potential breakout zones, or institutional absorption.
Color Settings
Longs Opened / Closed, Shorts Opened / Closed
Customize the color palette for each order flow behavior.
These colors appear in the background gradient of the footprint boxes.
Up/Down Only Mode
Toggle to override all behavior-based colors with a single Up Color and Down Color.
Useful if you prefer a simple bull/bear view.
Up Color / Down Color
If "Up/Down Only" is enabled, these two colors are used to represent all net positive or negative deltas.
Special Notes
Crypto only: This script works only with crypto tickers on TradingView.
For other assets (stocks, futures), a warning message will appear instead.
OI data must be available from the exchange (many perpetual pairs support this).
If the footprint is too small or invisible, increase your tick level spacing in the settings.
Alerts
When a stacked imbalance is detected, an alert is fired ("Stacked Imbalance").
This feature is useful for automated systems, bots, or simply staying informed of potential trade setups.
And that's all for now!

80% Rule Indicator (ETH Session + SVP Prior Session)I created this script to show the 80% opportunity on chart if setting lines up.
"80% rule: Open outside the vah or Val. Spend 30 mins outside there then break back inside spend 15 mins below or above depending which way u broke. Then come back and retest the vah/val and take it to the poc as a first target with the final target being the other Val/vah "
📌 Script Summary
The "80% Rule Indicator (ETH Session + SVP Prior Session)" overlays your chart with prior session value area levels (VAH, VAL, and POC) calculated from extended-hours 30-minute data. It tracks when the price reenters the value area and confirms 80% Rule setups during your chosen trading session. You can optionally trigger alerts, show/hide market sessions, and fine-tune line appearance for a clean, modular workflow.
⚙️ Options & Settings Breakdown
- Use 24-Hour Session (All Markets)
When checked, the indicator ignores time zones and tracks signals during a full 24-hour period (0000-0000), helpful if you're outside U.S. trading hours or want consistent behavior globally.
- Market Session
Dropdown to select one of three key market zones:
- New York (09:30–16:00 ET)
- London (08:00–16:30 local)
- Tokyo (09:00–15:00 local)
Used to gate entry signals during relevant hours unless you choose the 24-hour option.
- Show PD VAH/VAL/POC Lines
Toggle to show or hide prior day’s levels (based on the 30-min extended session). Turning this off removes both the lines and their white text labels.
- Extend Lines Right
When enabled, the VAH/VAL/POC lines extend into the current day’s session. If disabled, they appear only at their anchor point.
- Highlight Selected Session
Adds a soft blue background to help visualize the active session you selected.
- Enable Alert Conditions
Allows TradingView alerts to be created for long/short 80% Rule entries.
- Enable Audible Alerts
Plays an in-chart sound with a popup message (“80% Rule LONG” or “SHORT”) when signals trigger. Requires the chart to be active and sounds enabled in TradingView.
Advanced Volume Profile Levels (Working)This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who use volume profile analysis to identify significant price levels. It automatically calculates and plots the three most critical levels derived from volume data—the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL)—for three different timeframes simultaneously: the previous week, the previous day, and the current, live session.
The primary focus of this indicator is unmatched readability. It features dynamic, floating labels that stay clear of price action, combined with a high-contrast design to ensure you can see these crucial levels at a glance without any visual clutter.
Key Features
Multi-Session Analysis: Gain a complete market perspective by viewing levels from different timeframes on a single chart.
Weekly Levels: Identify the long-term areas of value and control from the prior week's trading activity.
Daily Levels: Pinpoint the most significant levels from the previous day's Regular Trading Hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET).
Current Session Levels: Track the developing value area and POC in real-time with a dynamic profile that updates with every bar.
Advanced Visuals for Clarity:
Floating Labels: The labels for the weekly and daily levels intelligently "float" on the right side of your chart, moving with the price to ensure they are never obscured by candles.
High-Contrast Design: Labels are designed for maximum readability with solid, opaque backgrounds and an automatic text color (black or white) that provides the best contrast against your chosen level color.
Trailing Current Levels: The labels for the current session neatly trail the most recent price action, providing an intuitive view of intra-day developments.
Comprehensive Customization: Tailor the indicator's appearance to your exact preferences.
Toggle each profile (Weekly, Daily, Current) on or off.
Individually set the color, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), and line width for each set of levels.
Adjust the text size, background transparency, and horizontal offset for all on-chart labels.
Information Hub:
On-Chart Price Labels: Each label clearly displays both the level name and its precise price (e.g., "D-POC: 22068.50").
Corner Table: An optional, clean table in the top-right corner provides a quick summary of all active weekly and daily level values.
Built-in Alerts:
Create alerts directly from the script to be notified whenever the price crosses above or below the weekly or daily Point of Control, helping you stay on top of key market movements.
How to Use
The levels provided by this indicator serve as powerful reference points for market activity:
Point of Control (POC): The price level with the highest traded volume. It acts as a magnet for price and represents the area of "fair value" for that session. Markets often test or revert to the POC.
Value Area High (VAH) & Value Area Low (VAL): These levels define the range where approximately 70% of the session's volume occurred. They are critical support and resistance zones.
Price acceptance above the VAH may signal a bullish breakout.
Price acceptance below the VAL may signal a bearish breakdown.
Rejection at the VAH or VAL often leads to price moving back across the value area towards the POC.

Tick-based bar statistics
Key Components and Their Functions
Data Granularity
• 1-Tick / 1-Second / 1-Minute modes let you choose the resolution of every calculation. On true tick charts you get genuine tick-by-tick precision; on second charts you see every intra-second print; on anything else it falls back to minute bars.
Footprint Engine
Bid vs Ask Volume Columns – Each candle is sliced into tick-level price rows showing buy-volume, sell-volume, total volume, delta and delta%.
CVD-Level Columns – Optionally color each row by net cumulative delta instead of raw volume to spotlight buying or selling pressure trends.
Imbalance Detection – Highlight rows where one side exceeds your % threshold, with “stacked” imbalances calling out multi-row alignment ahead of potential breaks.
Value Area & POC – Automatically compute and draw the 70% value area (VAH/VAL) and mark the Point of Control per session or any chosen timeframe.
Footprint
The image above shows the volume profiling data calculated for each row across the footprint engine.
Delta: Shows the net difference between buying and selling
Delta Percentage: Calculates delta as a percentage of total volume
Total Volume: The total volume at the price block
Buy Volume: The total buying volume at the price block
Sell Volume: The total selling volume at the price block
Additionally, you can select to only show buying volume and selling volume at each price block, as shown in the image above.
POC
The image above shows the visuals used to mark the POC of the footprint. The POC is marked yellow by default; the color can be changed in the settings.
Value Area
The image above shows the visuals used to mark the value area of the footprint.
Imbalance Detection
The image above shows the Footprint Engine detecting and marking buying/selling imbalances.
Stacked Imbalances
The image above shows the Footprint Engine detecting and marking stacked imbalances. Stacked imbalances are shown as consecutive, small blocks to the right of the footprint.
CVD Levels
The image above shows the footprint engine calculating CVD across the footprint, rather than net delta that resets bar by bar. Traders can enable the "Use CVD Levels" setting to have net delta persist across price bars, allowing traders to see the net CVD across various price blocks as the footprint develops.
Delta Class Statistics
With the inclusion of tick volume, The Delta Class Statistics component of the indicator classifies volume delta by order size to give traders detailed insights into whether small players are buying/selling and whether big players are buying/selling.
The image above shows a full view of the Delta Class Statistics feature.
The image above further explains the Delta Class Statistics view.
Orders are distributed (classified) across various order size amounts. From here, a rolling CVD is calculated across each order size. This feature gives traders detailed insights into whether big money is buying/selling (big player sentiment) and whether small money is buying/selling (small player sentiment).
Analysis
The image above shows a net-negative CVD for the session for both small orders (small money) and big orders (big money), while "medium" sized orders are currently at a net-positive CVD.
Consequently, sentiment for big players is bearish.
Additionally, small triangles are printed alongside each Delta Class box for each bar. You can hover over these labels with your cursor to see the net delta for the bar for each order size.
Bar Delta Statistics
With the inclusion of tick data, OrderFlow IQ is designed to generate detailed tick-based bar statistics for each candlestick.
The image above shows the feature in action.
Metrics
Volume: Total volume for the bar
Bar VWAP: The individual bar's VWAP
Delta: Net delta for the bar
Delta %: Delta % of the bar
Max Delta: The maximum positive delta achieved during the bar
Min Delta: The lowest negative delta achieved during the bar
CVD: Cumulative volume delta measurement by the bar
Buy Volume: Total buying volume for the bar
Sell Volume: Total selling volume for the bar
Iceberg Detection (Tick-Data Only)
An Iceberg Order is a type of large trading order that is broken up into much smaller visible portions. Only a small part of the order is displayed in the public order book at any given time, while the rest is hidden (like an iceberg where only the tip is above water).
Why are Iceberg Orders Important?
Minimizing Market Impact
If a trader were to post a 10,000-share sell order openly, the market would immediately react:
Buyers might panic, thinking there's a rush to sell.
Sellers could undercut the price aggressively.
This would likely drive the price down before the large order even finishes executing.
By revealing only a small portion at a time, Iceberg orders help avoid spooking the market and allow the trader to sell closer to the original price.
Hiding Trading Intentions
Markets are highly sensitive to order flow — the balance of buying and selling pressure.
If competitors, market makers, or algorithmic traders see a massive order, they might:
Front-run it (selling before it completes to profit from the expected price drop).
Reassess their own models about supply/demand imbalances.
Iceberg orders protect against this by masking true supply or demand.
Our Iceberg Detection Model
Using a proprietary iceberg order detection algorithm, OrderFlow IQ is capable of detecting/alerting iceberg orders when they occur.
The image above shows the Iceberg Detector in action.
When an iceberg order is identified, the size of the order in the quote currency, price of execution, and number of executions will be displayed.
It's important to set alerts for this feature, as iceberg orders aren't frequent and are easy to miss when away from the chart.
IQ Volume Profile (Chronicled Volume Profile)
OrderFlow IQ generates a Chronicled Volume Profile to give traders detailed insights into net delta by price level, but also historical net delta by price level.
The image above shows the feature in action. While the chronicled volume profile is seemingly a normal volume profile, the narrow-lines across the chronicle profile show historical min/max delta at each price level.
The image above exemplifies the feature.
The wide price blocks show the current net delta at each price area, while the small lines (with a circle at the end) show historical min/max delta at the price level.
This tool allows traders to see if buying/selling always dominated a price level, or if control of the price level changed hands between buyers/sellers throughout development of the profile.
Additionally, traders can hover over the small circles on the profile with their cursor to see the detailed delta statistics at each price area. The statistics will show the minimum delta at the price area, maximum delta, and the live change in delta.
Order Feed
OrderFlow IQ is capable of generating a live order feed with various metrics to assist real time orderflow traders in their analysis.
The image above exemplifies the feature.
Bid/Ask: The bid price and ask price of the current bar
Buys | Price: The size of a buy order and price of execution
Sells | Price: The size of a sell order and price of execution
▴ Vol: Cumulative buying volume (in quote currency) for the feed
▾ Vol: Cumulative selling volume (in quote currency) for the feed
Speed of tape: The average speed between each order fill
OrderFlow Bubble Tape
OrderFlow IQ also displays a traditional orderflow indicator, also known as OrderFlow Bubble Tape.
The image above shows the feature in action.
Orderflow Bubble Tape is a visual tool that shows recent market trades ("tape") as bubbles, where each bubble represents a trade.
The size of each bubble indicates the trade size (volume), and the color shows whether the trade was a buy (aggressive at the ask) or sell (aggressive at the bid).
Instead of showing trades as plain text (like a traditional tape), the bubble format makes it easier to spot bursts of aggressive buying or selling visually.
Clusters of large, fast bubbles in one color suggest momentum or imbalances in order flow, often signaling short-term price pressure.
Traders use Bubble Tape to quickly read supply/demand dynamics, identify hidden buyers/sellers (like iceberg orders), and anticipate short-term price moves.
Blue Bubble = Buy
Red Bubble = Sell
The larger the bubble, the larger the order. Traders can hover over each bubble with their cursor to see the exact size of the order.
Delta Class Lines
OrderFlow IQ shows Live Delta Class Lines grouped by order size buckets:
The blue line shows delta coming only from very large orders (100K–10B in size).
The red line shows delta coming from medium-large orders (50K–100K size).
The green line shows delta from small to medium orders (0–50K size).
Each line is the cumulative net delta for its class — meaning it is adding the buy and sell imbalances only from trades of that size class, live as trades occur.
For example, when a 30K-sized aggressive buy hits, it adds to the green line; if a 70K-sized sell hits, it subtracts from the red line.
The number next to each label is the current net delta value for that class, telling you whether buyers or sellers are dominating at that order size.
• Three Custom Dollar Brackets – Define “small,” “mid,” and “block” trade-size ranges (e.g., 0–50 K, 50 K–100 K, > 100 K).
• Live Streaming Lines – While a bar is forming, watch real-time totals for each bracket plotted as vertical columns or stair-step lines on the chart edge.
CVD
OrderFlow IQ also displays CVD as either candles or a line.
The image above shows the candles visualization for CVD. CVD can be calculated using tick data, 1-second bars, or 1-minute bars. The higher the granularity the more accurate the measurement.

Institutional Volume Profile# Institutional Volume Profile (IVP) - Advanced Volume Analysis Indicator
## Overview
The Institutional Volume Profile (IVP) is a sophisticated technical analysis tool that combines traditional volume profile analysis with institutional volume detection algorithms. This indicator helps traders identify key price levels where significant institutional activity has occurred, providing insights into market structure and potential support/resistance zones.
## Key Features
### 🎯 Volume Profile Analysis
- **Point of Control (POC)**: Identifies the price level with the highest volume activity
- **Value Area**: Highlights the price range containing a specified percentage (default 70%) of total volume
- **Multi-Row Distribution**: Displays volume distribution across 10-50 price levels for detailed analysis
- **Customizable Period**: Analyze volume profiles over 10-500 bars
### 🏛️ Institutional Volume Detection
- **Pocket Pivot Volume (PPV)**: Detects bullish institutional buying when up-volume exceeds recent down-volume peaks
- **Pivot Negative Volume (PNV)**: Identifies bearish institutional selling when down-volume exceeds recent up-volume peaks
- **Accumulation Detection**: Spots potential accumulation phases with high volume and narrow price ranges
- **Distribution Analysis**: Identifies distribution patterns with high volume but minimal price movement
### 🎨 Visual Customization Options

## How It Works
### Volume Distribution Algorithm
The indicator analyzes each bar within the specified period and distributes its volume proportionally across the price levels it touches. This creates an accurate representation of where trading activity has been concentrated.
### Institutional Detection Logic
- **PPV Trigger**: Current up-bar volume > highest down-volume in lookback period + above volume MA
- **PNV Trigger**: Current down-bar volume > highest up-volume in lookback period + above volume MA
- **Accumulation**: High volume + narrow range + bullish close
- **Distribution**: Very high volume + minimal price movement
### Value Area Calculation
Starting from the POC, the algorithm expands both upward and downward, adding volume until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default 70%).
## Configuration Parameters
### Profile Settings
- **Profile Period**: 10-500 bars (default: 50)
- **Number of Rows**: 10-50 levels (default: 24)
- **Profile Width**: 10-100% of screen (default: 30%)

## Interpretation Guide
### Volume Profile Elements
- **Thick Horizontal Bars**: High volume nodes (strong support/resistance)
- **Thin Horizontal Bars**: Low volume nodes (weak levels)
- **White Line (POC)**: Strongest support/resistance level
- **Blue Highlighted Area**: Value Area (fair value zone)
### Institutional Signals
- **Blue Triangles (PPV)**: Bullish institutional buying detected
- **Orange Triangles (PNV)**: Bearish institutional selling detected
- **Color-Coded Bars**: Different colors indicate institutional activity types
### Color Scheme Meanings
- **Heat Map**: Red (high volume) → Orange → Yellow → Gray (low volume)
- **Institutional**: Blue (PPV), Orange (PNV), Aqua (Accumulation), Yellow (Distribution)
- **Monochrome**: Grayscale intensity based on volume
- **Rainbow**: Color-coded by price level position
## Trading Applications
### Support and Resistance
- POC acts as dynamic support/resistance
- High volume nodes indicate strong price levels
- Low volume areas suggest potential breakout zones
### Institutional Activity

Impulse Profile Zones [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Impulse Profile Zones is a volume-based tool designed to highlight high-impact candles and visualize hidden liquidity zones inside them using microstructure data. It’s ideal for identifying volume concentration and potential reaction points during impulsive market moves.
Whenever a candle exceeds a specified size threshold, this indicator captures its structure and overlays a detailed intrabar volume profile (from a 10x lower timeframe), allowing traders to analyze the distribution of interest within powerful market impulses.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Filters candles that exceed a user-defined threshold by size.
For qualifying candles, retrieves lower timeframe price and volume data.
Divides the candle’s body into 10 volume bins and calculates the volume per zone. Highlights the bin with the highest volume as the Point of Control (POC) .
Each POC line extends forward until a new impulse is detected.
🔵 FEATURES
Impulse Candle Detection:
Triggers only when a candle’s body size is larger than the defined threshold.
Lower Timeframe Profiling:
Aggregates 10-bin volume data from a lower timeframe (typically 1/10 of current TF).
Volume Distribution Bars:
Each bin displays a stylized bar using unicode block characters (e.g., ▇▇▇, ▇▇ or ▇--).
The bar size reflects the relative volume intensity.
POC Zone Mapping:
The bin with the highest volume is marked with a bold horizontal line.
Its value is labeled and extended until the next valid impulse.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use large candle profiles to assess which price levels inside a move were most actively traded.
Watch the POC line as a magnet for future price interaction (support/resistance or reaction).
Combine with market structure or order block indicators to identify confluence levels.
Adjust the “Filter Large Candles” input to detect more or fewer events based on volatility.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Impulse Profile Zones is a hybrid microstructure tool that bridges lower timeframe volume with higher timeframe impulse candles. By revealing where most of the volume occurred inside large moves, traders gain a deeper view into hidden liquidity, enabling smarter trade entries and more confident profit-taking zones.
RSI Hybrid ProfileThis is a Hybrid Script designed on the basis of a well know Indicator RSI - Relative strength Index, ATR, Standard Deviations and Medians. Effort is being made to present RSI in a Profile based concept to leverage and elevate trading signals and identify potential trade while effectively managing the RISK.
Trend Colour Coding :-
Green = Bullish
Red = Bearish
Gray = Mean Reversion/ Rangebound Markets
The script includes the following Elements
1) Candlestick chart of RSI of current time frame in lower pane :-
It helps to effectively compare the price action with that of RSI to clearly identify early breakouts or breakdowns in RSI as compared to price chart and identify early trade opportunities as well as Divergences
2) Higher Time Frame RSI :-
The orange line in the lower pane to help take analysis of Higher Timeframe, to evaluate and assess trend in more refined manner.
3) Point of Control Zone :-
The middle horizontal band with colour coding to highlight the Point of Control of the price action based on its relative strength.
4) Black Circles - POC Change Markers - RSI profile Value area Shifts :-
All the Black Circles plotted on chart are RSI Point of Controls, which signal upcoming Trend and should be closely watched as it can help identify wonderful Entry/Exit Opportunities.
5) Value Area :-
The horizontal lines above and below the POC Zones are the Value areas, they are extremely useful to identify the potential support/resistance zones during the trending markets and potential target zones during the mean reverting markets. The width also helps assess the underlying volatility and risk and can help in determining the position size based on it. The setting can be adjusted based on Value area Range Multiplier. 1 is the ideal setting as it represents 1 Standard Deviation of Data.
6) Trailing Stops :-
The Green Trailing line helps as trailing stoploss in buying positions and Red Trailing Line helps as trailing SL in Selling Positions. These are especially useful when price is far away from the value area zones or when volatility is very high. The setting can be adjusted based on trail multiplier in the settings.
Here are the few examples of how to use the script on different asset classes
1) Gold Futures - Exhibiting the use of trend and SL and how to change positions based on retracement and RSI Interpretation.
2)Nifty 50 - Exhibiting the importance of POC , RSI Divergence and Breakout and SL Trail and POC Change Markers
3) Bitcoin/US Dollar - Showing the use of Value areas as support zones and using RSI overbought and oversold regions to manage pullbacks and retracement confirmations.
4) JSW Energy Limited - Stock - Showing the combined use of the scripts elements in trading environment.
Feel Free to use it on Charts and leverage the power of this wonderful Indicator.

OG Volume PowerDescription:
The OG Volume Power is an elite-level volume analysis suite built for identifying momentum surges, trend continuation, and buyer/seller imbalances at critical price levels. It combines real-time VWAP tracking, a dynamic Point of Control (POC), and volume delta clusters to give traders a complete picture of price and volume interaction.
🔍 Key Features:
Real-Time VWAP:
Tracks volume-weighted average price to identify mean reversion and intraday fair value zones. Ideal for institutional-level entries and exits.
Dynamic POC (Point of Control):
Automatically finds the price level with the highest volume over the last N candles (default 50), helping traders pinpoint where market participants are most committed.
Buyer/Seller Volume Delta Clusters:
Highlights imbalances between buying and selling pressure using bullish and bearish volume deltas that exceed the 20-bar volume average — excellent for momentum detection and early trend recognition.
⚙️ How It Works:
Green triangle: Buyer surge (bullish delta + above average volume)
Red triangle: Seller surge (bearish delta + above average volume)
Magenta line: Dynamic POC (highest volume price over recent candles)
Orange line: VWAP (acts as a magnetic force for price)
📈 Best For:
Intraday scalping or swing trading on SPY, QQQ, BTC, or Forex
Volume flow confirmation before breakout entries
Filtering false breakouts with delta strength signals
🧠 Pro Tip:
Use OG Volume Power alongside your trend indicators (like OG EMA Stack or OG Supertrend) to confirm that volume is backing the move. Look for surges near VWAP or POC zones for sniper-level entries.

█ TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
Exceeding Bars Management
The script dynamically adjusts the number of bars used in the volume profile calculation based on the selected timeframe and the maximum allowed bars (max_bars_back).
If the total number of bars exceeds the predefined threshold (6000 bars), the script reduces the lookback period (lookback_bars) by trimming some of the historical data, ensuring the chart does not become overloaded with data.
The adjustment is made based on the ratio of bars per candle (bars_per_candle), ensuring that the volume profile remains computationally efficient while maintaining its relevance.
█ EXAMPLE USE CASES
1. Visible Range Mode
For analyzing a recent trend and focusing on only the visible part of the chart, enabling the "Use Visible Chart Range" option calculates the profile based on the current view, without considering historical data outside the visible area.
2. Fixed Lookback Depth
For analyzing a specific period in the past (e.g., the last 200 bars), disabling the visible range and setting a fixed lookback depth of 200 bars ensures the profile always considers the last 200 bars, regardless of the visible range.
3. Custom Resolution
If there’s a need for greater control over the timeframe used for volume profile calculations (e.g., using a 5-minute resolution on a 15-minute chart), enabling custom resolution and setting the desired timeframe provides this control.

User Explanation EMAs
This part of the indicator utilizes Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to help you identify trends and potential entry or exit points in the market. Here’s how they work and how you can customize them:
What are EMAs?
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are indicators that smooth out historical prices to identify the direction of the trend. Unlike Simple Moving Averages, EMAs give more weight to recent prices, making them more responsive to current price changes.
How Each EMA Works:
1° EMA (Adjustable Length):
Purpose: The first EMA provides a short-term view and can help identify recent movements and potential quick trend changes.
Customization: You can adjust the length of this EMA (number of periods) using the "1° EMA length" option.
2° EMA (Adjustable Length):
Purpose: The second EMA acts as a smoother filter, helping to confirm or discredit signals from the first EMA.
Customization: Adjust its length with "2° EMA length".
3° EMA (Adjustable Length):
Purpose: The third EMA provides a longer-term view, helping to identify mid-term trends and significant turning points.
Customization: Modify its length via "3° EMA length".
4° EMA (Adjustable Length):
Purpose: The fourth EMA represents the long-term trend, offering a perspective on the market’s overall direction.
Customization: Change its length using "4° EMA length".
Customizable Colors:
You can choose the colors for each EMA through the provided color options. This allows you to distinguish each EMA on your chart easily and customize its appearance according to your preferences.
EMA Crosses:
Small Crosses (1° and 2° EMAs):
Functionality: When the 1° EMA crosses above the 2° EMA, it may signal a buy (bullish cross). When it crosses below, it may signal a sell (bearish cross).
Visualization: You can enable or disable the display of these small crosses.
Large Crosses (3° and 4° EMAs):
Functionality: Crosses between the 3° and 4° EMAs help identify more significant trend changes. A bullish cross may indicate an uptrend, while a bearish cross may signal a downtrend.
Visualization: You can also enable or disable these large crosses on your chart.
How to Use This Information:
Trend Identification: EMAs help you see whether the market is in an uptrend or downtrend, and crosses between them can indicate potential trading opportunities.
Entry/Exit Signals: Crosses between EMAs can signal optimal times to enter or exit a position.
This set of EMAs provides you with a clear view of different time frames in the market, allowing you to make more informed trading decisions based on the current trend and price changes.
Support and Resistance

Market DirectionThe "Market Direction" indicator combines four advanced sub-indicators to provide a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analysis of market trends, momentum, and potential reversals. This innovative approach leverages different aspects of price action, volume, and market sentiment, offering traders an in-depth view of market conditions.
1. Fractal Indicator: Multi-Scale Price Action Analysis
The Fractal Indicator identifies significant highs and lows over six different pivot lengths, offering a nuanced view of price action across multiple timeframes. By comparing distances from current closing prices to these key fractal points, the indicator determines potential trend reversals and market direction. This approach enables traders to adapt their strategies to various market conditions, capturing both short-term fluctuations and long-term trends.
2. Volume MACD Indicator: Enhanced Market Momentum
The Volume MACD Indicator goes beyond traditional MACD analysis by incorporating volume-weighted movement and the structural attributes of candlesticks (such as body length and wicks). This hybrid model offers a more comprehensive understanding of market momentum by integrating both price action and trading volume. The use of Smoothed Moving Averages (SMMA) reduces noise and ensures more stable signals, helping traders focus on sustainable trends and longer-term investment opportunities.
3. Cumulative Volume Momentum Indicator: Volume Dynamics Insight
The Cumulative Volume Momentum Indicator evaluates the momentum of cumulative buying and selling volumes, offering a clear picture of market strength and potential reversals. By comparing the relationship between open, close, high, and low prices, and applying a MACD approach to these volume dynamics, this indicator helps traders identify momentum shifts that often precede price movements. The visualization through histograms adds clarity to bullish and bearish volume momentum, enhancing decision-making in volatile markets.
4. POC-Price Momentum Indicator: Market Depth and Sentiment
The POC-Price Momentum Indicator assesses the difference between the Point of Control (POC) and closing prices, providing insights into underlying market sentiment. Positive differences indicate a buildup of upward momentum, while negative differences suggest a bearish tilt. By calculating moving averages of these differences, the indicator highlights the strength and sustainability of ongoing trends, helping traders align their strategies with the broader market direction.
Unified Rating for Confirming Market Direction
The "Market Direction" indicator consolidates the outputs of these four sub-indicators into a single, aggregated sentiment score. This score helps traders confirm the prevailing market trend by weighing the combined insights from fractal analysis, volume momentum, price action, and POC dynamics. A positive score suggests a bullish market, while a negative score indicates bearish conditions.
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.

Weighted Volume Profile Pivot Points | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Weighted Volume Profile Pivot Points (WVPPP) Indicator! This indicator renders a volume profile using the latest pivot points, automatically adjusting itself when new pivots occur. The pivoting mode can be switched between default pivot points and order blocks mode. It can be adjusted to give more weight to recent or past candlesticks, or can be used as a normal volume profile. For more information, please read the full write-up.
Features of the new Weighted Volume Profile Pivot Points (WVPPP) Indicator :
Renders Volume Profile Of The Range Between Latest Pivots
Two Pivoting Modes Including Order Blocks Mode
Adjustable Weighthing Towards Past or Recent
Customizable Row Count & Maximum Distance
Left or Right Alignment
More Styling Options
🚩UNIQUENESS
This indicator stands out with two key features. One is it's ability to weight volumes based on their distance to the current time. Giving weight to volumes may offer new trading opportunities to traders as they can now see the most recent Point Of Control (POC) or a more powerful but past POC based on their choice. Another key feature the indicator has is that it automatically finds latest valid pivot points, and uses that range for the volume profile. The range changes dynamically as new pivots points emerge. You can select between normal pivot points and order blocks mode. The indicator also has a variety of useful styling settings such as aligning the volume profile to the right or the left of the chart, POC Line styling and color settings for bullish & bearish volumes.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
A volume profile provides an in-depth look at trading activity over a period of time by plotting a histogram on the price axis. This indicator can also give weight to volumes based on their distance to the current time, essentially determining their importance for the profile. The range which the volume profile will cover is determined by the latest pivot points. Here is how it works step-by-step :
1. Determine how much candlesticks the volume profile will cover (Analyze Bars setting)
2. Find the latest pivot points. If the mode is set to "Pivots", the pivot points are the candlesticks which has the highest / lowest wick in X amount of bars (Swing Length setting). If the mode is set to "Order Blocks", the volume profile range is the area between the latest buyside order block and the sellside order block. Order blocks occur when there is a high amount of market orders exist on a price range. It is possible to find order blocks using specific candlestick formations on the chart. For more information about the order block detection, I suggest you checking the write-up of our "Volumized Order Blocks" script. Increasing the "Swing Length" setting is recommended when the mode is set to "Pivots", as this will help in finding stronger pivot points.
3. Make a range using the latest pivot points, then divide it into rows (Row Count setting)
4. Then for each candlestick, add it's volume to the corresponding row in the range. Note that the volume can be added into several rows if it overlaps with them all.
5. If the candlestick is a bullish candlestick, we add it's volume into the bullish volume of the row, if it's a bearish candlestick, we add it to the bearish volume of the row.
With the weighted volume mode, which is activated if "Volume Weighthing" setting is set to "Recent" or "Past", all volumes get a penalty based on their distance to the latest candletstick. For example, if the setting is set to "Recent", the latest candlestick contributes it's volume by 100% to the corresponding row, but the candlestick which is 50 candlesticks far from the current candlestick only contributes it's volume by ~17% to the row. The same applies to the "Past" setting, but in the reversed order, where past candlesticks have more priority than the current ones.
Volume contribution percent for "Recent" setting : ((100 * 0.85) / (i + 1)) + (100 * (1.0 - 0.85))
Volume contribution percent for "Past" setting : ((100 * 0.85) * ((i + 1) / N)) + (100 * (1.0 - 0.85))
Where i = candlestick index from right to left, N = total number of candlesticks analyzed by the volume profile.
The Point Of Control (POC) line is drawn from the row with the most total volume, and is generally considered as a strong level because a lot of trading volume happened on that particular row. Traders may use this line as a support & resistance level.
We believe that automatically ranging the volume profile to important pivot points will help traders see crucial volume information easier without unnecessary hassle. Traders can use this indicator to have an insight of areas which price moves quickly without much volume, or see areas that holds the price still for much longer and plan their trades accordingly.

Volume Profile cheap copyIn the absence of TradingView's open-source Volume Profile (hereinafter referred to as VP) indicator code, I have replicated it. However, because this code is classified as an "indicator" rather than a "tool," it cannot allow users to define the range according to their preferences. In the code, I have set different periods, and users can input 0, 1, or 2 to let the indicator calculate the volume distribution from the earliest candle to the latest candle within the daily, weekly, or monthly range, respectively.
How can we prove that this code is consistent with TradingView's algorithm?
Firstly, the calculation or drawing process of VP starts from the earliest candle in the selected range. After calling TradingView's built-in "Fixed Range Volume Profile" (FRVP) tool, you can enter the settings interface of the tool and check both "developing POC" and "Value Area (VA)." The paths of POC, VAH, and VAL will appear in the chart. These paths are the changes in the values of POC, VAH, and VAL as the number of candles increases. If the paths shown by my indicator are the same as those shown by TradingView's VP indicator, then it proves the algorithms are consistent. Since VP itself is calculated based on volume, the high and low points of candles, and the opening and closing prices, if the data sources are consistent, the calculation results (the paths of POC, VAH, and VAL) will remain consistent over time. This can be used to infer that the algorithms are consistent. Additionally, the parameters of the two indicators (number of rows and value area ratio) must be the same to verify consistency. The number of rows in the indicator is usually set to 100 by default, and the value area ratio is 70. Therefore, the parameters in FRVP should also be set to 100 rows and a value area volume of 70.
Why is there a noticeable discrepancy?
When the start and end points of the VP remain unchanged, reducing the chart's time frame can improve accuracy. For example, when calculating the weekly VP, switching from a 1-hour time frame to a 5-minute time frame can make the indicator more closely match TradingView's native VP. Tests have shown that TradingView's native VP may not use the data displayed on the current chart for its calculations. For instance, the VP may use data from the 5-minute time frame even if the chart is displayed in the 1-hour time frame. However, my replicated VP calculates based on the chart's data, so differences in time frames will affect accuracy.
Current algorithm deficiencies
This replicated VP code is merely a demo and does not handle data updates. In other words, after the latest candle closes, the VP needs to be recalculated, but this recalculation step is not handled, which will cause errors. To resolve this issue, you only need to switch the time frame or delete the indicator and re-add it.

MONEY ZONEA volume profile is an advanced charting tool that displays the traded volume at different price levels over a specific period. It helps you visualize where the majority of trading activity has occurred.
This indicator is a Market Profiling tool used to analyse the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VAH/VAL) on the daily, weekly and monthly timeframes. It also optionally displays historical Value Areas to help find confluence with past data.
The Point of Control describes the price level where the most volume was traded. A Naked Point of Control (also called a Virgin Point of Control) is a previous POC that has not been traded.
The Value Area is a range of prices where the majority of trading volume took place on the prior trading day. In specific, this area is the range where 70% of the prior day’s volume happened. The value area is approximately one standard deviation above and below the average highest volume price. With this knowledge, there are specific probabilities of market behavior we can understand to digest the value area. The value area gives us an idea of where the smart money is playing ball and where the institutions are guiding the market. From this data, we can derive intra-day strategies that capitalize on market behavior.
🔹 Point of Control (PoC)
Point of Control (POC) – The price level for the time period with the highest traded volume
🔹 Value Area (VA)
Value Area (VA) – The range of price levels in which the specified percentage of all volume was traded during the time period.
