RSI Profile [Kodexius]RSI Profile is an advanced technical indicator that turns the classic RSI into a distribution profile instead of a single oscillating line. Rather than only showing where the RSI is at the current bar, it displays where the RSI has spent most of its time or most of its volume over a user defined lookback period.
The script builds a histogram of RSI values between 0 and 100, splits that range into configurable bins, and then projects the result to the right side of the chart. This gives you a clear visual representation of the RSI structure, including the Point of Control (POC), the Value Area High (VAH), and the Value Area Low (VAL). The POC marks the RSI level with the highest activity, while VAH and VAL bracket the percentage based value area around it.
By combining standard RSI, a distribution profile, and value area logic, this tool lets you study RSI behavior statistically instead of only bar by bar. You can immediately see whether the current RSI reading is located inside the dominant zone, extended above it, or depressed below it, and whether the recent regime has been biased toward overbought, oversold, or neutral territory. This is particularly useful for swing traders, mean reversion systems, and anyone who wants to integrate RSI context into a more profile oriented workflow.
🔹 Features
1. RSI-Based Distribution Profile
-Builds a histogram of RSI values between 0 and 100.
-The RSI range is divided into a user-defined number of bins (e.g., 30 bins).
-Each bin represents a band of RSI values, such as 0–3.33, 3.33–6.66, ..., 96.66–100.
-For each bar in the lookback period, the script:
-Finds which bin the RSI value belongs to
Adds either:
-1.0 → if using time/frequency
-volume → if using volume-weighted RSI distribution
This creates a clear profile of where RSI has been concentrated over the chosen lookback window.
2. Time / Volume Weighting Mode
Under Profile Settings, you can choose:
-Weight by Volume = false
→ Profile is built using time spent at each RSI level (frequency).
-Weight by Volume = true
→ Profile is built using volume traded at each RSI level.
This flexibility allows you to decide whether you want:
-A pure momentum structure (time spent at each RSI)
-Or a participation-weighted structure (where higher-volume zones are emphasized)
3. Configurable Lookback & Resolution
-Profile Lookback: number of historical bars to analyze.
-Number of Bins: controls the resolution of the histogram:
Fewer bins → smoother, fewer gaps
More bins → more detail, but potentially more visual sparsity
-Profile Width (Bars): defines how wide the histogram extends into the future (visually), converted into time using average bar duration.
This provides a balance between performance, clarity, and visual density.
4. Value Area, POC, VAH, VAL
The script computes:
-POC (Point of Control)
→ The RSI bin with the highest total value (time or volume).
-Value Area (VA)
→ The range of RSI bins that contain a user-specified percentage of total activity (e.g., 70%).
-VAH & VAL
→ Upper and lower RSI boundaries of this Value Area.
These are then drawn as horizontal lines and labeled:
-POC line and label
-VAH line and label
-VAL line and label
This gives you a profile-style view similar to classical volume profile, but entirely on the RSI axis.
5. Color Coding & Visual Design
The histogram bars (boxes) are colored using a smart scheme:
-Below 30 RSI → Oversold zone, uses the Oversold Color (default: green).
-Above 70 RSI → Overbought zone, uses the Overbought Color (default: red).
-Between 30 and 70 RSI → Neutral zone, uses a gradient between:
A soft blue at lower mid levels
A soft orange at higher mid levels
Additional styling:
-POC bin is highlighted in bright yellow.
-Bins inside the Value Area → lower transparency (more solid).
-Bins outside the Value Area → higher transparency (faded).
This makes it easy to visually distinguish:
-Core RSI activity (VA)
-Extremes (oversold/overbought)
-The single dominant zone (POC)
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the core logic behind the script and highlights the main building blocks that power the profile.
1. Profile Structure and Bin Initialization
A custom Profile type groups together configuration, bins and drawing objects. During initialization, the script splits the 0 to 100 RSI range into evenly spaced bins, each represented by a Bin record:
method initBins(Profile p) =>
p.bins := array.new()
float step = 100.0 / p.binCount
for i = 0 to p.binCount - 1
float low = i * step
float high = (i + 1) * step
p.bins.push(Bin.new(low, high, 0.0, box(na)))
2. Filling the Profile Over the Lookback Window
On the last bar, the script clears previous drawings and walks backward through the selected lookback window. For each historical bar, it reads the RSI and volume series and feeds them into the profile:
if barstate.islast
myProfile.reset()
int start = math.max(0, bar_index - lookback)
int end = bar_index
for i = 0 to (end - start)
float r = rsi
float v = volume
if not na(r)
myProfile.add(r, v)
The add method converts each RSI value into a bin index and accumulates either a frequency count or the bar volume, depending on the chosen mode:
method add(Profile p, float rsiValue, float volumeValue) =>
int idx = int(rsiValue / (100.0 / p.binCount))
if idx >= p.binCount
idx := p.binCount - 1
if idx < 0
idx := 0
Bin targetBin = p.bins.get(idx)
float addedValue = p.useVolume ? volumeValue : 1.0
targetBin.value += addedValue
3. Finding POC and Building the Value Area
Inside the draw method, the script first scans all bins to determine the maximum value and the total sum. The bin with the highest value becomes the POC. The value area is then constructed by expanding from that center bin until the desired percentage of total activity is covered:
for in p.bins
totalVal += b.value
if b.value > maxVal
maxVal := b.value
pocIdx := i
float vaTarget = totalVal * (p.vaPercent / 100.0)
float currentVaVol = maxVal
int upIdx = pocIdx
int downIdx = pocIdx
while currentVaVol < vaTarget
float upVol = (upIdx < p.binCount - 1) ? p.bins.get(upIdx + 1).value : 0.0
float downVol = (downIdx > 0) ? p.bins.get(downIdx - 1).value : 0.0
if upVol == 0 and downVol == 0
break
if upVol >= downVol
upIdx += 1
currentVaVol += upVol
else
downIdx -= 1
currentVaVol += downVol

Anchored Session Volume Profile • Heatmap Profiles • Asia/EU/US Description
This indicator builds Anchored Session Volume Profiles for Asia, EU, and US sessions on intraday charts and renders them as right-docked line histograms (heatmap or classic style). Each session computes its own POC, VAH, VAL and optional Session High/Low lines. An optional per-price-bin Delta overlay estimates buy/sell pressure inside the profile rows for quick order-flow context.
What’s unique
Three independent session anchors (Asia/EU/US) with custom start/end times, bin size in ticks, and Value Area %.
Right-fixed live rendering or post-close persistence (draw levels only after the session closes).
Adaptive width: profile width scales with elapsed session length (anchor → now/end) within user limits.
Heatmap profile: row tint scales by relative volume; or Classic single-color with optional gradient.
Per-row Delta ticks (outside/inside, configurable direction) derived from bar delta and overlap with each price bin.
Clean POC/VAH/VAL line styling, optional ray extension, and Session High/Low rays per session.
How it works (technical)
Binning: Rows are built with a user-defined bin height in ticks. Arrays expand/shrink as price extends; the base is shifted when new lows appear to keep bins aligned.
Accumulation: For each bar within the active session window, traded volume is distributed to intersecting bins proportionally to the price overlap with that bin.
Value Area: POC is the highest-volume bin. VA is grown symmetrically around the POC until the selected coverage (VA%) is reached.
Delta per bin (optional): A bar-level delta proxy volume * (close − open) / range (clamped) is split into buy/sell and allocated to bins proportionally to the same overlap share, producing a per-row delta magnitude for rendering ticks.
Rendering modes:
Right fixed: refreshes each bar; lines/histogram are docked at the anchor X-position.
Draw Levels after Session Close: on close, only POC/VAH/VAL (and optional Session High/Low) are persisted.
No lookahead: All computations use confirmed bars; levels are deterministic on close.
How to use
Use the Asia/EU/US profiles to read participation hand-offs and session-driven rotations.
Trade off POC/VAH/VAL as acceptance/rejection references; confluence with session High/Low often marks responsive flows.
Employ Delta ticks per row to spot absorption, one-sided stacking, or fading participation inside the profile without leaving TradingView.
Prefer right-fixed during live trading and post-close when you want persistent session levels.
Key settings
General per session: Start/End (hh:mm), Bin size (ticks), Value Area %, toggle POC/VAH/VAL lines.
Rendering: Heatmap vs. Classic, orientation (Left/Right), gradient on/off, row thickness, right offset, adaptive width limits.
Delta (per price bin): global on/off, per-session on/off, tick width, max tick length (bars), outside/inside placement, direction (sign-based / always left / always right), colors.
Levels: POC/VAH/VAL styles (solid/dashed/dotted), widths, colors, extend right (ray).
Session High/Low: per-session on/off, style, width, colors, optional right-ray extension.
Notes & limitations
Designed for intraday data; accuracy depends on the feed’s volume granularity.
Large histories + small bins + delta ticks can be heavy; tune bin size, adaptive width, and delta max length for performance.
Timezone for anchors is set internally to Europe/Berlin.

Trademania - PVSRA IndicatorTrademania - PVSRA Indicator
The Trademania - PVSRA Indicator is based on a proven MT4 indicator suite that has been in use since 2013. Over time, it has been expanded with additional features and tools. Originally developed for the Forex market, it also works well for cryptocurrencies, stocks, and other assets. The goal of this indicator is to combine classic chart analysis with PVSRA analysis, allowing for a clean mixed chart analysis. Traders gain access to a wide range of important information and can use it to form their trading assumptions. The indicator is designed to make it as simple as possible: identifying price levels at the breakout of key support/resistance, for confirmations above/below an imbalance, or recognizing and validating standard structures.
Important: This indicator is designed to be used across all timeframes. It works equally well for scalping on lower timeframes and for larger timeframes, such as spot trading on the 4H or daily chart.
The following core features are available:
- PVSRA Candles
- Dynamic Zones for PVSRA Candles (Imbalance)
- Market sessions with high/low points
- Integrated EMAs (daily, weekly, higher time frames)
- Fully customizable EMAs
- Pivot points with mid/50% level
- Price ranges from yesterday and last week
- Average daily range (also available for weekly and monthly)
- Psychological levels (for Forex)
- Daily open
- High/Low Point of Control (POC) indicators for wicks and candle bodies
- WIL (Weekly Interest Level) - High/Low of the Asian session
- On-chart labels for nearly all elements
Key Features:
- PVSRA, integrated POC levels, and WIL levels distinguish this indicator.
- Integrated EMAs and the daily, weekly, high time frame EMAs can be supplemented or replaced by custom EMAs for maximum flexibility.
Special Feature:
- Lite Mode for better visibility and simplified chart analysis.
Instructions and Notes
PVSRA Candles
Display volume or tick volume on the chart.
- Candles with more than 200% average volume of the last 10 candles, where the product of candle spread and volume is greater than the last 10 candles/timeframes, are shown in green (bullish) and red (bearish).
- Blue and purple candles show the same with 150% average volume of the last 10 candles.
**Note:** To obtain valid information, the trading volume should be as large as possible. If you're viewing the chart of an exchange with low trading volume, you can use the PVSRA override to display the volume from another exchange. For example, you can view the Phemex chart but display the tick/volume of the Binance chart as PVSRA/Vector candles.
Dynamic Zones for PVSRA Candles (Imbalance)
Zones that match the color of the respective vector candle display imbalance on the chart.
- In PVSRA analysis, it is assumed that such imbalances will be revisited and corrected. It can be customized whether this should happen with candle wicks or just the candle bodies.
Market Sessions with High/Low Points (DST)
Relevant market sessions: Sydney/NZX, Tokyo, Hong Kong, EU, New York, as well as the Brinks sessions pre EU/NY, are marked with high/low points and labeled on the chart.
- In PVSRA/Mixed analysis, these represent important liquidity zones of the individual trading sessions, often serving as key support/resistance levels.
WIL (Weekly Interest Level) - High/Low of the Asian Session
The new WIL levels represent the market open/Asian session of the new trading week: Sydney open to Hong Kong close.
- This forms an important price range for the trading week and is always a key breakout zone or rejection area in mixed analysis. Additional liquidity is needed to break through these levels.
- Higher effort against the start of the week – an imbalance (above/below).
High/Low Point of Control (POC) Indicators for Wicks and Candle Bodies
Additionally, the indicator includes pivot-based POC markers at key highs/lows on the chart.
- A POC is generated from the candle footprint (1000 resolution) and displayed on the chart.
- **Note:** If the POC is in a wick, it is shown as a line; if the POC is only in the candle body, it is displayed in small text.
- In mixed analysis, POCs in volume-heavy wicks are always a key indication of price levels that will be revisited and a potential enhancer for a wick-fill upwards or downwards.
EMA/Pivot Points/Psychological Levels Classic/Average Ranges:
Daily/ADR - Weekly/AWR / High/Low values for day/week, as well as the daily open of the current trading day, form the foundation of the indicator.
- Base structures that account for imbalance must break certain price levels to confirm or invalidate a previous movement (bullish or bearish).
- 13/50/200/800 EMA retrace: Breaking these in either direction without addressing an imbalance on the opposite side requires confirmation after the break.
- Pivot-level trading operates on the same principle.
- **Note:** Pivot levels in this indicator have additional M-levels, which represent 50% markers to provide better insights into potential retraces or upward moves.
- For example: Breaking M1, retracing, and confirming at M1 with a target at M2.
To recognize a standard 3-level rise or retrace scenario in mixed analysis, as well as a potential extended chart progression, these levels are essential.
**Note:** Average ranges such as High/Low ADR are particularly important levels where interruptions are expected. Profit-taking, long/short, is common at these points, independent of standard structures. This also applies to the high/low levels of the last trading day and the weekly versions of these levels.
The daily open helps identify possible SPOT/Futures gaps (depending on the asset, such as a missing futures market over the weekend: NAS/DAX).
Important:
The Lite Mode is designed to help traders reduce the chart to essential core functions (PVSRA/EMA/WIL/Psy/Daily Open/Hi-Lo) to apply classic TA effectively and strengthen a mixed analysis or challenge certain assumptions regarding confirmation and imbalance.
**Note:** It is recommended to additionally use a MACD indicator to identify potential trends and momentum.
- For example, a positive MACD trend supporting a 50 EMA breakout with a target of the 200 EMA under positive imbalance (standard mixed pattern).
To cater to personal preferences or trading strategies, it is possible to add custom EMA values to the indicator without the need for a second or third separate indicator.
All functions are fully customizable within the indicator settings.
Oscillator Profile IndicatorDescription:
The Oscillator Profile Indicator (OPI) is designed to provide insights into market trends and potential reversal points by profiling the value distribution of an oscillator or the price chart over a specified lookback period.
The OPI works by calculating the Point of Control (PoC) for the oscillator values or prices in the given lookback period. This PoC, essentially a median, is considered the fair value where most trading activities have happened. Along with this, OPI also calculates lower and upper boundaries by taking the specified percentile of the sorted distribution of values. These boundaries outline the value area within which a significant portion of trading activity has occurred.
The main feature of the OPI is the interpretation of PoC movement and how it relates to general market trends. If the PoC moves above 0 on the oscillator, it's a potential indication that we are in a general uptrend. Conversely, if the PoC moves below 0, this can be a signal for a general downtrend.
Usage:
While OPI can be used on both price charts and oscillators, its effectiveness is more pronounced when used on oscillators. Applying this indicator to oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) can provide useful insights.
How to Read:
PoC line: The line represents the median of the past 'n' periods. Its movement above or below 0 can be used to identify general uptrends or downtrends respectively.
Upper and Lower Boundary lines: These lines represent the specified percentile of the value distribution in the lookback period.
Colored Fills: The fills between the upper and lower boundary lines visually represent the value area. The color changes based on the relative position of the source value (price or oscillator value) to the PoC.
Signals:
An uptrend is indicated when the PoC moves above 0 on the oscillator, especially when coupled with an upward crossover of the source value through the PoC.
A downtrend is signaled when the PoC drops below 0 on the oscillator, particularly when paired with a downward crossover of the source value through the PoC.
(!) Note: Like all indicators, OPI should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for the best results. It is also advisable to backtest this indicator with your strategy before using it in live trading.
Volume Profile [Makit0]VOLUME PROFILE INDICATOR v0.5 beta
Volume Profile is suitable for day and swing trading on stock and futures markets, is a volume based indicator that gives you 6 key values for each session: POC, VAH, VAL, profile HIGH, LOW and MID levels. This project was born on the idea of plotting the RTH sessions Value Areas for /ES in an automated way, but you can select between 3 different sessions: RTH, GLOBEX and FULL sessions.
Some basic concepts:
- Volume Profile calculates the total volume for the session at each price level and give us market generated information about what price and range of prices are the most traded (where the value is)
- Value Area (VA): range of prices where 70% of the session volume is traded
- Value Area High (VAH): highest price within VA
- Value Area Low (VAL): lowest price within VA
- Point of Control (POC): the most traded price of the session (with the most volume)
- Session HIGH, LOW and MID levels are also important
There are a huge amount of things to know of Market Profile and Auction Theory like types of days, types of openings, relationships between value areas and openings... for those interested Jim Dalton's work is the way to come
I'm in my 2nd trading year and my goal for this year is learning to daytrade the futures markets thru the lens of Market Profile
For info on Volume Profile: TV Volume Profile wiki page at www.tradingview.com

BE AWARE: this indicator is based on the current chart's time interval and it only plots on 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes charts.
This is the correlation table TV uses in the Volume Profile Session Volume indicator (from the wiki above)
Chart Indicator
1 - 5 1
6 - 15 5
16 - 30 10
31 - 60 15
61 - 120 30
121 - 1D 60
This indicator doesn't follow that correlation, it doesn't get the volume data from a lower timeframe, it gets the data from the current chart resolution.

Project Pegasus SideMap • VRP Heatmap • Volume Node DetectionDescription CME_MINI:NQ1!
Project Pegasus – Volume SideMap V 1.0 builds a right-anchored horizontal volume heatmap silhouette, visualizing buy/sell participation per price level over any chosen lookback or visible range. It automatically detects Low-Volume Nodes (LVN), Medium-Volume Nodes (MVN), and High-Volume Nodes (HVN), while also marking Top Volume Peaks, POI Lines (Most-Touched Levels), and complete Value Area Levels (POC / VAH / VAL) including optional session highs/lows.
What’s Unique
Right-Fixed Rendering – All profile rows are anchored to the chart’s right edge, creating a consistent visual reference during live trading.
Gap-Free Silhouette – Each price row blends seamlessly with its neighbors, producing a clean and continuous volume shape.
Triple-Tier Node Detection (LVN / MVN / HVN) – Automatically highlights zones of rejection, transition, and acceptance based on relative volume strength.
Dynamic Binning System – Adapts to price range and lookback while preserving proportional per-row volume distribution.
POI Finder (Most Touches) – Highlights price rows that have been touched most frequently by bars (traffic clusters).
Top-N Peaks – Sorts and draws the strongest single-price clusters by total volume while respecting minimum spacing.
Integrated Value Area Metrics – Calculates and plots POC, VAH, and VAL with optional session High/Low markers.
Color Modes – Choose between heatmap intensity (volume-based) or buy/sell ratio blending for directional context.
Performance Optimized – Rebuilds only when structure changes, ensuring smooth operation even with large histories.
Technical Overview
1. Binning & Aggregation
The full price range is divided into a user-defined number of rows (bins) of equal height.
For each bar, traded volume is distributed across all intersecting bins proportionally to price overlap.
A buy/sell proxy is estimated based on candle close position, producing per-row Buy, Sell, and Total Volume arrays.
2. Silhouette Rendering
Each row’s strength = total volume ÷ maximum volume.
Two color modes:
• Volume Mode → intensity scales by relative volume (heatmap).
• Ratio Mode → blend between sell and buy base colors based on dominance (close position).
Weak or neutral rows can be faded or forced to minimum width via strength and ratio-deviation filters.
3. Node Detection (LVN / MVN / HVN)
Relative bands are defined by lower/upper % thresholds.
Consecutive rows meeting criteria are grouped into “bands.”
Optional gap-merge unifies nearby bands separated by small gaps (in ticks).
Quality filters:
• Min. Average in Band (%) → enforces minimum average participation.
• Min. Prominence vs. Neighbors (%) → compares contrast against adjacent volume peaks.
Enforces minimum center distance (in ticks) to prevent overlap.
Each valid band draws a Top/Bottom line pair and optional mid-label (LVN/MVN/HVN).
4. Volume Peaks
Ranks all rows by total volume (descending) and selects top N peaks with spacing filters.
Drawn as horizontal lines or labeled markers (P1, P2, etc.).
5. POI Lines (Most Touches)
During aggregation, each row counts how many bars overlap it.
The top X rows with highest touch counts are drawn as POI lines—often strong participation or mean-retest zones.
6. Value Area (POC / VAH / VAL)
POC = row with highest total volume.
Expands outward symmetrically until the configured Value Area % of total volume is covered.
VAH and VAL mark the acceptance range; optional High/Low lines outline total range boundaries.
7. Right-Fix Layout
All components are rendered relative to the chart’s rightmost bar.
Width dynamically scales with visible bars × % width setting, ensuring proportional scaling across zoom levels.
How to Use
Read market structure:
HVNs = high acceptance or balance areas → likely mean-reversion zones.
LVNs = thin participation → breakout or rejection points (“air pockets”).
MVNs = transition areas between acceptance and rejection.
Trade around POC / VAH / VAL:
These levels represent fair-value boundaries and rotational pivots.
POI & Peaks:
Use them as strong reference lines for responsive trading decisions.
Ratio-Color Mode:
Exposes directional imbalance and potential absorption zones visually.
Best practice:
Live trading → right-fix active, moderate row count.
Post-session analysis → higher granularity, LVN/HVN/MVN and peaks enabled with labels.

Delta Canlde POC @MaxMaserati🎯 Delta Candle POC @MaxMaserati
Indicator Guide and Purpose
This indicator provides professional volume profile analysis at the individual candle level, revealing the internal structure of price action and volume distribution that standard charts cannot show. It transforms each candle into a detailed volume map, showing exactly where trading activity concentrated and whether buyers or sellers were in control.
What It Shows
🔹 Volume Imprint Bars
5 horizontal volume bars within each qualifying candle
Width = Volume intensity at that price level
Color = Market pressure (Green = Bullish delta, Red = Bearish delta)
Position = Key price levels (Open, Close, Body Mid, High/Low rejections)
🔹 Delta Labels
Net buying/selling pressure for each candle (e.g., "+2.3K" or "-1.8K")
Positioned above/below candles based on pressure direction
Synchronized with volume bars - appear together, disappear together
🔹 Point of Control (POC)
Horizontal line marking the price level with highest volume
Dynamic thickness based on volume intensity
Extends forward to show ongoing significance
Color-coded by market pressure
How to Interpret
Volume Distribution Patterns
Thick bars at body levels = High conviction trading
Thick bars at wicks = Rejection/support zones
Concentrated volume = Strong agreement on price
Scattered volume = Uncertainty or ranging
Delta Analysis
Large positive delta = Strong buying pressure
Large negative delta = Strong selling pressure
Small delta with high volume = Balanced but active trading
Large delta with low volume = Weak conviction
POC Significance
POC at candle high = Resistance being tested
POC at candle low = Support being tested
POC in body = Fair value area
Thick POC lines = High conviction levels
Analysis Settings
Volume Sensitivity - Controls how much detail to show
Minimum Volume Threshold - Filters out low-activity candles
High Volume Candles Only - Shows only above-average volume periods
Customization
Imprint Width % - Adjust bar width for visibility
Volume Bar Transparency - Control opacity
Color settings - Customize all visual elements
Smart Features
🔄Synchronized Management
Automatic cleanup - Maintains exactly 35 candles worth of data
Perfect synchronization - Labels and volume bars always appear/disappear together
No orphaned elements - Prevents display issues
🧠 Advanced Calculations
Smart order flow - Uses price action, wicks, and body analysis
Real tick data - Enhanced accuracy on 1-tick charts
5-level distribution - Optimized for Pine Script limits
Timeframe Selection
Lower timeframes (1m, 5m) - Detailed intraday analysis
Higher timeframes (1H, 4H) - Broader market structure
Volume Threshold:
Start with default 100 - Adjust based on instrument liquidity
Higher thresholds - Focus on major moves only
Lower thresholds - See more activity detail
What Makes It Unique
Unlike traditional volume indicators that show aggregate data, this reveals the internal architecture of each price move, answering:
Where exactly did the volume occur within each candle?
What was the buying vs selling pressure at each level?

Delta Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵Delta Volume Profile
A dynamic volume analysis tool that builds two separate horizontal profiles: one for bullish candles and one for bearish candles. This indicator helps traders identify the true balance of buying vs. selling volume across price levels, highlighting points of control (POCs), delta dominance, and hidden volume clusters with remarkable precision.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Split Volume Profiles (Bull vs. Bear):
The indicator separates volume based on candle direction:
If close > open , the candle’s volume is added to the bullish profile (positive volume).
If close < open , it contributes to the bearish profile (negative volume).
ATR-Based Binning:
The price range over the selected lookback is split into bins using ATR(200) as the bin height.
Each bin accumulates both bull and bear volumes to form the dual-sided profile.
Bull and Bear Volume Bars:
Bullish volumes are shown as right-facing bars on the right side, colored with a bullish gradient.
Bearish volumes appear as left-facing bars on the left side, shaded with a bearish gradient.
Each bar includes a volume label (e.g., +12.45K or -9.33K) to show exact volume at that price level.
Points of Control (POC) Highlighting:
The bin with the highest bullish volume is marked with a border in POC+ color (default: blue).
The bin with the highest bearish volume is marked with a POC− color (default: orange).
Total Volume Density Map:
A neutral gray background box is plotted behind candles showing the total volume (bull + bear) per bin.
This reveals high-interest price zones regardless of direction.
Delta and Total Volume Summary:
A Delta label appears at the top, showing net % difference between bull and bear volume.
A Total label at the bottom shows total accumulated volume across all bins.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator captures all candles within the lookback period .
It calculates the price range and splits it into bins using ATR for adaptive resolution.
For each candle:
If price intersects a bin and close > open , volume is added to the positive profile .
If close < open , volume is added to the negative profile .
The result is two side-by-side histograms at each price level—one for buyers, one for sellers.
The bin with the highest value on each side is visually emphasized using POC highlight colors.
At the end, the script calculates:
Delta: Total % difference between bull and bear volumes.
Total: Sum of all volumes in the lookback window.
🔵 USAGE
Volume Imbalance Zones: Identify price levels where buyers or sellers were clearly dominant.
Fade or Follow Volume Clusters: Use POC+ or POC− levels for reaction trades or breakouts.
Delta Strength Filtering: Strong delta values (> ±20%) suggest momentum or exhaustion setups.
Volume-Based Anchoring: Use profile levels to mark hidden support/resistance and execution zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Delta Volume Profile offers a unique advantage in market reading by separating buyer and seller activity into two visual layers. This allows traders to not only spot where volume was high, but also who was more aggressive. Whether you’re analyzing trend continuations, reversals, or absorption levels, this indicator gives you the transparency needed to trade with confidence.
Bearish signal using Point of Control (POC) with PAC by guruThis indicator code helps traders identify potential sell opportunities using several important technical indicators:
Point of Control (POC) – This is the price level where the most volume was traded over the past several days.
Previous Day's Low – This shows the lowest price reached during the previous day.
PAC (Price Action Channel) EMA – These are two moving averages (one based on the low price and one based on the close price) that help determine if the price is trending within a certain range.
Volume SMA – This is a 3-day simple moving average (SMA) of volume, which helps filter out signals based on market activity.
What the Script Does:
Point of Control (POC):
The script looks at the last 50 days (configurable) and calculates which price level had the highest trading volume.
It then plots a red line on the chart at the POC level. This is important because it helps identify areas where there was strong market interest in the past.
Volume Moving Average:
The script calculates a 3-day SMA of volume, but it excludes the current day to avoid premature signals based on today’s trading.
The volume SMA is used to ensure there’s enough market activity (with a threshold set to 25 units) before triggering a sell signal.
Price Action Channel (PAC) EMA:
The PAC consists of two exponential moving averages (EMAs):
The PAC Low EMA: This is based on the low prices over the last 34 periods (configurable).
The PAC Close EMA: This is based on the closing prices over the last 34 periods.
These EMAs help determine if the price is trending above or below certain price levels.
Sell Signal Logic: The script checks three conditions before displaying a "Sell" signal:
Price Below POC and Previous Day’s Low:
The close price must be below both the Point of Control (POC) and the previous day's low.
Volume SMA Above 25:
The 3-day volume SMA must be greater than 25. This ensures the signal only triggers when there’s enough trading volume in the market.
Today’s Low is Above PAC EMAs:
Today's low price must be above both the PAC low EMA and the PAC close EMA. This prevents sell signals when prices are already significantly below the PAC, indicating possible exhaustion in the downtrend.
If all three conditions are met, the script will display a red "Sell" label on the chart, signaling a potential selling opportunity.
No Sell Signal if Price Reverses:
If the price crosses back above the POC or the previous day's low, the script will remove the sell signal and reset for a new opportunity.
Summary of Conditions:
For the script to display a "Sell" label:
The close price must be below the Point of Control (POC) and the previous day’s low.
The 3-day volume SMA (excluding today) must be greater than 25 units.
The low price of the current day must be above both the PAC low EMA and the PAC close EMA.
If these conditions are met, a red sell label appears on the chart as a potential signal for a short (sell) trade.

It plots a histogram (profile) that highlights the level at which the most trading activity has occurred, helping to identify key support and resistance levels.
Basic Logic Overview:
- Data Compilation: Gathers high, low, and volume (if volume profile selected) data within the lookback period.
- Histogram Calculation: Divides the price range into bins (as specified by resolution), counting hits in each bin to find the most frequented price level.
- POC Identification: The price level with the highest concentration of hits (or volume) is marked as the POC.
- Trend MA (Optional): If enabled, the indicator plots a moving average of the POC for trend analysis.
By integrating the Rolling Point of Control into your charting toolkit, you can significantly enhance your market analysis and potentially increase the accuracy of your trading decisions. Whether you're day trading or looking at longer time frames, this indicator offers a detailed, customizable perspective on market dynamics. 🌍💹
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:
how balanced buyers vs. sellers were,
how compressed price was inside that bin,
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:
Delta Balance: rewards bins where buy/sell pressure is symmetrical (configurable via Volume Momentum Weight).
Price Compression: rewards bins where average bar range is relatively small (configurable via Price Momentum Weight).
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.

Liquidity Pro Map [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Liquidity Pro Map is a market-structure tool that simulates liquidity distribution by splitting price history into buy-side and sell-side profiles. Using candle volume and the standard deviation of close, the indicator builds two mirrored volume maps on the right-hand side of the chart. It also extends liquidity levels backwards in time until they are crossed by price, allowing you to see which zones remain untouched and where liquidity is most likely resting. Cumulative skew lines and highlighted POC levels give additional clarity on imbalance between buyers and sellers.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dual Liquidity Profiles: The chart is divided into buy-side (green) and sell-side (red) liquidity profiles, letting you instantly compare both sides of order flow.
Level Extension Logic: Each liquidity level is extended back in time until price crosses it. If not crossed, it persists all the way to the indicator’s lookback period, marking zones that remain “untapped.”
Dynamic Binning with Standard Deviation: The indicator distributes candle volumes into bins using close-price deviation, creating a more realistic liquidity map than static price levels.
priceDeviation = ta.stdev(close, 25) * 2
priceReference = close > open ? low - priceDeviation : high + priceDeviation
Cumulative Volume Skew Lines: Polylines on the right-hand side show the aggregated buy and sell volume profiles, making it easy to spot imbalance.
POC Identification: Highest-volume levels on both sides are marked as POC (Point of Control) , providing key zones of interest.
Clear Color Coding: Gradient shading intensifies with volume concentration—dark teal/green for buy zones, dark pink/red for sell zones.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Volume Distribution: Each bar’s volume is assigned to a price bin based on its reference price (close ± standard deviation offset).
Buy vs. Sell Splitting: If bins above last close price, volume is allocated to sell-side liquidity; otherwise, it’s allocated to buy-side liquidity.
Level Extension: Boxes marking liquidity bins extend back until crossed by price. If uncrossed, they anchor all the way to the start of the lookback window.
Cumulative Polylines: As bins are stacked, cumulative buy and sell values form skew polylines plotted at the right edge.
POC Levels: The highest-volume bin on each side is highlighted with labels and arrows, marking where the heaviest liquidity is concentrated.
⯁ USAGE
Use buy/sell profiles to see where liquidity is likely resting. Green shelves suggest potential support zones; red shelves suggest resistance or sell liquidity pools.
Watch untouched extended levels —these often become magnets for price as liquidity is swept.
Track POC levels as primary liquidity targets, where reactions or fakeouts are most common.
Compare cumulative skew lines to judge which side dominates in volume. Heavy buy skew may indicate absorption of sell pressure, and vice versa.
Adjust lookback period to switch between intraday liquidity maps and larger swing-based profiles.
Use separator feature to hide bins borders for better visual clarity.
Use as a confluence tool with OBs, support/resistance, and liquidity sweep setups.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Liquidity Pro Map transforms candle volume into a structured simulation of where liquidity may rest across the chart. By dividing buy vs. sell profiles, extending untouched levels, and marking cumulative skew and POC, it equips traders with a clear visual map of potential liquidity pools. This allows for better anticipation of sweeps, reversals, and areas of high market activity.
Wyckoff Smart Money Pro [MTF]Wyckoff Smart Money Pro detects trading ranges, phases, and events from the Wyckoff method and confirms them with VSA (Volume Spread Analysis), divergence checks, and a composite “smart money” strength index. It generates optional buy/sell signals only when multiple conditions align (phase, VSA, CO strength, effort vs. result, time/volume filters). The dashboard, POC/Value Area, and MTF backdrop help you manage context and risk in real time.
What this indicator does
Wyckoff Smart Money Pro is a multi-timeframe Wyckoff tool that:
⦁ Finds accumulation/distribution ranges and tracks Phases A–E.
⦁ Labels Wyckoff events (PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring/Test, SOS, LPS, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS…) and VSA patterns (No Demand/Supply, Stopping Volume, Upthrust, etc.).
⦁ Computes a Composite Operator (CO) Strength score from price/volume behavior to approximate “smart money” bias.
⦁ Adds divergence, effort vs. result, and a volume profile (POC & 70% value area) inside the detected range.
⦁ Provides buy/sell signals only when a configurable confluence is present (events + VSA + CO + EVR + phase + filters).
⦁ Supports MTF context (with a safe HTF resolver and fallbacks) and an Info Dashboard to summarize the current state.
It is designed to make the Wyckoff workflow visual and rules-based without promising results or automating decisions.
How it works (methods & calculations)
1) Range & Phase model
⦁ A sliding lookback searches for a valid range (recent highest high/lowest low), requiring width within 2–10× ATR(14) and a minimum bar count inside the bounds.
⦁ Once a range is active, the script derives Creek/Ice/Mid/Quartiles and classifies bars into Wyckoff Phases A–E using event recency (barssince) and where price sits relative to the range.
⦁ The background color reflects the current Phase; optional MTF events (from the chosen HTF) tint the background lightly for higher-timeframe context.
2) Wyckoff & VSA event engine
⦁ Events include PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring, Test, SOS, LPS, PSY, BC, UTAD, SOW, LPSY, TS, plus minor/multiple variants and Creek/Ice jumps.
⦁ VSA patterns detect No Demand/No Supply, Stopping Volume, Buying/Selling Climax, Upthrust/Pseudo Upthrust, Bag Holding, Shake-Out, Volume Dry-Up, etc., from spread vs. average spread and volume vs. average volume with tunable thresholds.
3) Smart-money (CO) Strength
⦁ CO Strength (0–100) blends: relative volume on up/down bars, professional accumulation/distribution, no-supply/no-demand, stopping volume, Springs/UTADs and Tests, SOS/SOW, price’s position inside the range, and volume-delta vs. its MA.
⦁ Persistent accumCount / distCount counters smooth temporary noise.
4) Divergence & Effort-vs-Result
⦁ Price vs. cum volume-delta divergence highlights weakening pushes.
⦁ EVR flags “High effort / no result” and potential Bullish/Bearish reversals, or “Low effort / high result” moves that are often unsustainable.
5) Volume Profile (inside range)
⦁ A 50-bin profile accumulates volume across the detected range to derive POC, VAH/VAL (70% value area). Lines update as the active range evolves.
6) Multi-Timeframe (MTF) safety
⦁ getHTF() converts your multiplier to a valid Pine timeframe string (e.g., 60, 240, 2D, 1W), and the script falls back to current timeframe values if an HTF request returns na.
⦁ If you enter a Custom HTF, it must be strictly higher than the chart’s timeframe (validated at runtime).
7) Signals & risk model
⦁ Signals are not tied to any single pattern. A buy may require Spring/Test/Shake-out/Creek Jump or SOS plus confirmation (VSA, CO>60, Phase C/D, divergence/EVR context).
⦁ Sell is symmetrical (UTAD/Failed Spring/SOW/Ice Jump + VSA + CO<40 + Phase C/D).
⦁ Minimum confidence is configurable; SL/TP and R:R lines are drawn from range edges or recent bar extremes.
⦁ Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and a minimum volume threshold (relative to average) are available to suppress low-quality contexts.
⦁ Alerts include all major events, divergences, structure/phase changes, and the gated Buy/Sell signals (with a cooldown to reduce alert spam).
Inputs (key ones you’ll actually use)
⦁ Display Settings: toggle ranges, phases, events, VSA, signals, dashboard.
⦁ MTF: Enable HTF, set Multiplier or a Custom HTF (must be higher than current).
⦁ Range Detection: period / min bars / pivot strength.
⦁ VSA: volume sensitivity & climax multiplier.
⦁ Signal Settings: minimum confidence, risk/reward labels.
⦁ Advanced Filters: trading hours, weekend avoidance, and Min Volume Filter (× avg).
⦁ Colors: phase backgrounds, structure colors, and line styling.
How to use (practical flow)
1. Choose a symbol & timeframe you normally analyze (e.g., 5–60m for entries, 4H/D for context).
2. If using MTF, pick a multiplier (e.g., 5×) or a Custom HTF (e.g., 240/4H).
3. Wait for a range to form; watch Phase and CO Strength on the Dashboard.
4. When events (e.g., Spring/Test in Phase C or UTAD in distribution) appear with favorable VSA, CO, EVR, and volume/time filters, consider the signal and review R:R lines.
5. Use POC/VA and Creek/Ice/Mid as structure references; manage risk around the range edge that generated the setup.

Notes, limits & best practices
⦁ This is not a buy/sell system; it’s a context & confirmation tool. Combine with your plan, risk limits, and execution criteria.
⦁ Long, illiquid, or news-driven bars can distort volume/spread logic; filters help but cannot eliminate this.
⦁ For MTF, if an exchange doesn’t support a specific HTF, the script falls back safely to current TF values to avoid na-propagation.
⦁ Dashboard rows/size/position are user-configurable to keep charts uncluttered.
Changelog (what’s new in this version)
⦁ MTF safety & validation (Custom HTF must be above current; graceful fallbacks for request.security() na results).
⦁ Performance caching for close position & up/down bar flags; drawing cleanup to stay under label/line limits.
⦁ Volume Profile upgraded to 50 bins; VA algorithm adjusted accordingly.
⦁ Signal gating with time/day/volume filters and alert cooldown to reduce noise.
⦁ Bug guards for parameter conflicts (e.g., rangeMinBars cannot exceed rangePeriod).

Volume Profile + VAH, VAL, and POCWhat it is
A clean, on-chart volume profile that approximates your visible range using a configurable Bars Back window. It builds a horizontal histogram of volume by price, splits each price bin into Buy vs Sell volume, draws POC, and computes Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL). A Stealth Mode toggle switches to a subtle grayscale palette for low-key charts.
Why this instead of the built-in VPVR?
Buy/Sell split per bin: See which prices were defended by buyers vs sellers, not just total volume.
Value Area from POC outward: Classic expansion method until the selected % of total volume (default 70%).
Sleek borders & Stealth Mode: Crisp bin outlines and a one-click professional colorway.
Deterministic & fast: No sessions or anchors needed—set your Bars Back and go.
How it works (under the hood)
Window selection – Pine can’t read your viewport, so we approximate it with Bars Back (user input).
Binning – The window’s price range is divided into N bins.
Volume allocation – For each bar in the window:
Distribute Across Hi–Lo (optional): Spread volume across all bins the bar overlaps, weighted by overlap; or
Single-price mode: Assign all volume to one bin using a representative price (hlc3).
Buy/Sell split (two methods):
Body Proportional (recommended): Split by relative up/down body size (|close−open|).
Up/Down Candle: 100% buy if close ≥ open, else 100% sell.
POC & VA: Point of Control is the bin with max total volume. VAH/VAL expands from POC toward the higher-volume neighbor until the selected % of total volume is included.
Reading the visuals
Horizontal bars (right side): Total volume per price bin.
Left sub-segment = Sell volume
Right sub-segment = Buy volume
POC line: Price level with peak total volume.
VAH / VAL (dashed): Upper and lower bounds of the selected Value Area.
Borders: Each bin has a clean outer outline so the profile looks tight and organized.
Stealth Mode: Grayscale palette that preserves contrast without loud colors.
Key inputs (organized for clarity)
Theme
Stealth Mode: Toggles the grayscale look.
Core
Price Bins: Vertical resolution of the profile.
Lookback (Bars): Approximates your visible range.
Style
Profile Width (bars): How far the histogram extends to the right.
Bin Border Width: Outline thickness.
Markers & Lines
Show POC, Show VAH/VAL, Value Area %, VA line width.
Advanced
Distribute Volume Across Hi–Lo: More accurate, heavier compute.
Buy/Sell Split Method: Body Proportional (realistic) or Up/Down (simple).
Tips & best practices
Start with Body Proportional + Distribute Across ON for intraday accuracy.
If the chart lags, reduce Price Bins or Bars Back, or switch off distribution.
For small windows, fewer bins often looks cleaner (e.g., 30–60).
Stealth Mode plays nicely with both dark and light chart themes.
Limitations & notes
Viewport: Pine can’t access the actual visible bars; Bars Back is a practical stand-in.
Buy/Sell split: This is an approximation from candle bodies, not true bid/ask delta.
Designed for overlay; profile renders to the right of the latest bar.
Prev Week POC Buy/Sell Signals
Hi, I’m Edward. I created a straightforward strategy for swing traders (4hr or 8hr timeframe users). This strategy is for traders that are not interested to look at charts all day long, 2 times a day max, but still be profitable.
The indicator:
Print a buy signal when the price closes above the previous week's Point of Control (POC).
Stay in the trade until the price closes below the previous week's POC, then print a sell signal.
The indicator calculates the weekly POC using a basic volume profile method, then tracks the previous week's POC for signals.
Previous week POC is valid from Monday to Thursday. By close of business on Thursday, the current week trend and POC should be well established and should be used make buy or sell decisions. Enjoy!
Multi-Layer Volume Profile [BigBeluga]A powerful multi-resolution volume analysis tool that stacks multiple profiles of historical trading activity to reveal true market structure.
This indicator breaks down total and delta volume distribution across time at four adjustable depths — enabling traders to spot major POCs, volume shelves, and zones of price acceptance or rejection with unmatched clarity.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Multi-Layer Volume Profiles:
Up to 4 separate volume profiles are stacked on the chart:
- Profile 1: Full period
- Profile 2: Half-length
- Profile 3: Quarter-length
- Profile 4: One-eighth-length
This layering helps traders assess confluence across different time horizons.
Custom Bin Resolution:
Each profile uses a customizable number of bins to control visual precision.
More bins = higher granularity, fewer bins = smoother profile.
Precise POC Highlighting:
The price level with the maximum traded volume in each profile is highlighted with a thick blue POC line.
This key level shows the most accepted price for each period.
Total and Delta Volume Labels:
- Total Volume: Displays cumulative volume over the profile period at the top of the profile box.
- Delta Volume: The difference between bullish and bearish volume is labeled at the base, showing directional pressure.
Positive delta = buyer dominance, negative delta = seller dominance.
Range Levels:
Each profile includes horizontal reference lines showing its high, low, bounds.
These edges often align with price reaction zones and become future resistance/support.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
For each active profile, the indicator:
- Collects price range (highs/lows) across the selected `length`
- Divides this range into equal bins
- Assigns volume into bins based on candle close location
- Aggregates volume per bin to form the profile (polylines)
Separately tracks:
- Total volume (sum of all candles in range)
- Delta volume (sum of candle volumes: positive for bullish, negative for bearish closes)
Highlights the bin with maximum volume (POC)
and marks it with a thick blue line.
Adds auxiliary lines for high/low of each profile box
and total/delta volume tags with tooltips.
🔵 USAGE
Spot Acceptance Zones:
Thick, flat areas on the profile show where price stayed longest — ideal for building positions.
Identify Rejection Zones:
Thin volume areas signal price rejection and are often used for stop placement or entries.
Delta Confirmation:

Key Levels Suite - By LeviathanThis is a comprehensive script, designed to display over 100 key price levels across multiple dimensions, including volume profile levels, HTF levels, VWAPs, SMAs/EMAs, market session levels, day of week levels and more. The indicator offers high flexibility in features, settings and visual appearance.
● The script organizes levels into six main categories:
Higher Timeframe (HTF) Levels
- Current and/or previous period: Open, High, Low, and Midpoint for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly timeframes (eg. levels for current weekly high/low and previous weekly high/low).
- These levels provide a clear structure for identifying key support and resistance zones. Traders often use HTF levels to anticipate price reactions, such as bounces or rejections, at major highs and lows. For example, a price nearing the weekly high could signal an area of resistance.
VWAP Levels
- Current and/or previous period: VWAP and upper/lower standard deviations for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly timeframes (eg. levels for current daily VWAP and previous weekly VWAP).
- VWAP levels give traders insight into whether the current price is above or below the fair market value for a given period. It’s often used as a reference point for trend direction or S/R. If the price remains above VWAP, the trend may be seen as bullish, while breaks below VWAP can suggest a shift toward bearish sentiment. Standard deviations help identify areas where the price may be overextended, offering opportunities for mean reversion trades.
Moving Average Levels
- EMA and SMA for three customizable lengths (eg. levels for 200 EMA, 50 EMA and 100 SMA).
- These levels act as dynamic support and resistance lines that adjust with price movement. Traders use them to confirm trend direction and watch for reactions around these levels, particularly in trending markets. For example, when the price pulls back to a 200 EMA, it could present an opportunity to enter a trade in line with the prevailing trend.
Volume Profile Levels
- Current and previous: Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL) for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly timeframes (eg. levels for current day POC and previous day POC).
- Volume Profile levels highlight price areas where significant trading occurred. The POC indicates the price where the most volume was traded and can act as a strong magnet for price. VAH and VAL mark the boundaries of value areas, making them excellent spots for breakout or mean reversion trades. Traders look for price reactions around these zones to either join or fade moves.
Market Session Levels
- Current and previous: Open, high, low, and midpoint for three user-defined sessions, with default being Tokyo, London, and New York (eg. levels for current New York session open and previous New York session high and low).
- Session levels allow traders to track how price behaves across different global market sessions. For instance, the New York open often brings increased liquidity and volatility. Traders often use these levels to anticipate sharp moves or continuations, especially after session highs and lows are broken, signaling shifts in market momentum.
Day of Week Levels
- Open, high, low, and midpoint for Monday through Sunday (eg. levels for Monday's high and low and Tuesday open).
- These levels help traders identify recurring intraday or intraweek price behaviors. For example, highs or lows established earlier in the week can serve as benchmarks for breakouts or retracements later on. Monday’s open or Friday’s high/low often reflect market sentiment going into or out of the weekend, providing valuable clues for planning trades.
● About the script
I published this script because it was heavily requested by my Tradingview followers who wanted a clean and feature-rich indicator that can display various levels they use in their analysis. The indicator can display levels that are not available in other similar public scripts and makes sure to calculate and load calculation-intensive levels (like volume profile levels, higher timeframe vwap levels, etc) as fast and efficiently as possible. It is one of the only scripts I've published that is not open source. The code is protected because it includes some proprietary calculations (eg: for POC/VAH/VAL), that I don't wish to open source, but I still want to publish a heavily requested script in a public and free format.
● How to use the script
1. Add the script to your chart
Start by adding the script to your chart like any other indicator.
2. Open the indicator settings
Click the settings icon to access all customization options.
3. Select which level groups to display
In the "Controls" section, choose which groups of levels (HTF, VWAP, Moving Averages, etc.) you want displayed. This allows you to quickly toggle between different sets of levels depending on your analysis needs, without overcrowding the chart.
4. Adjust group-specific settings
Scroll down to access detailed settings for each group. For any group, you can choose:
- The relevant time parameter (e.g., Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc for HTF/VWAP/Volume Profile levels, length for Moving Average levels, day for Day of Week Levels, etc).
- Specific levels to display (e.g., Open/High/Low/Midpoint for HTF, VWAP, Day of Week, Session levels and POC/VAH/VAL for Volume Profile levels).
- For applicable groups, you can also toggle previous period levels by selecting them from the row starting with the "↳" icon.
5. Customize visual appearance
In the "Appearance" section, you have full control over how the levels and labels look. You can:
- Choose what details appear in the labels (e.g., level name, price, or percentage distance from current price).
- Pick from different line types, line style (solid, dashed, dotted), adjust line width, and manage the length of the lines using "Offset Right" and "Offset Left" settings.
- Modify font, label size, and color options. If multiple levels overlap at the same price, use the “Merge Levels” option to combine them into one, reducing visual clutter.
6. Customize level names to your preference
In the "Labels" section, you can rename any parameter to match your preferred abbreviations (e.g., change “Weekly Open” to “wO” or any other shorthand that works for you).
● Key Features:
- Display various different important levels, all in one indicator
- Seamless control of which group of levels / specific level to display
- Choose from various line and label styles to display levels.
- Labels can show the level's title (customizable abbreviations), price, and percentage distance from the current price.
- Merge nearby levels to reduce chart clutter, either for identical levels or those within a user-defined percentage range.
- Fully customizable visual appearance of levels to suit individual preferences.
Volume Profile [ZeroHeroTrading]Volume Profile by ZeroHeroTrading provides Volume Profile information fully leveraging the high/low values associated with the volume. As such, it closely aligns with the price action.
You can change the indicator settings as you see fit to achieve the best results for your use case.
Algorithm Notes
The indicator retrieves high/low/volume data within the set lookback period (number of bars back). It then sorts high/low boundaries, and accumulates the volume within the boundaries. Finally, it draws the Volume Profile as a filled out polyline joining all the boundaries together with the relevant accumulated volume proportion, and the POC as a box between the boundaries with the highest accumulated volume starting from the lookback.
When the lookback period is based on days back (instead of bars back), the indicator first dynamically calculates the number of bars to look back within the set number of days.
Please note that the lookback upper limit is 1000 bars back regardless of the settings. For instance, if the requested number of days results in the calculated bars back count (relative to the chart's timeframe) to be higher than 1000, the effective lookback will be 1000 bars back.
Features
It draws the Volume Profile and POC on the chart.
It allows for setting the number of bars or days to look back for retrieving the volume information.
It allows for setting the length of the Volume Profile being displayed (as a number of bars).
It allows for setting the offset from the last bar for the Volume Profile being displayed (as a number of bars).
It allows for setting the orientation of the Volume Profile being displayed from right to left and vice versa.
It allows for setting the colors for the Volume Profile and POC.
It allows for turning the POC functionality on/off.
Settings
Volume Lookback field: Sets number of bars or days to look back for retrieving the volume information. If the Volume Lookback field is set to 0, the volume data is retrieved for the current day regardless of the Bar(s)/Day(s) selection. Default is 200. Minimum is 0 and maximum is 1000.
Volume Lookback dropdown: If Bar(s) is selected, the volume data is retrieved for the set number of bars back. If Day(s) is selected, the volume data is retrieved for the current day plus the set number of day(s) back. Default is Bar(s).
Profile Bar Length field: Sets length of the Volume Profile being displayed as a number of bars. Default is 50. Minimum is 10 and maximum is 100.
Profile Bar Offset field: Sets offset from the last bar for the Volume Profile being displayed as a number of bars. Default is 10. Minimum is 0 and maximum is 100.
Profile Orientation dropdown: Selects Volume Profile orientation. Left is -right to left- and Right is -left to right-. Default is Left.
Profile Color select: Selects Volume Profile color. Default is blue (100% opacity).
Show POC checkbox: Turns on/off POC. Default is on.
POC Color select: Selects POC color. Default is orange (80% opacity).
ATR Price Targets w/POC
ATR Price Targets with Point of Control (POC):
This script is designed to help traders identify key price target levels based on configurable multipliers of the the Average True Range (ATR) and the volume based Point of Control (POC). It is intended for intraday traders looking to capture significant price movements.
Features:
ATR Price Targets: The script calculates three levels of price targets above and below the first bar of the day, based on the ATR of the last 22 days (assuming 5-minute candles). These targets are adjustable through the settings, allowing traders to set their own ATR multipliers.
Point of Control (POC): The POC is determined as the price level of the highest volume bar since the start time, providing an indication of the most traded price within the specified period.
Customizable Start Time: Traders can set their desired start time for the calculation of price targets and POC, allowing for flexibility in aligning the indicator with their trading strategy.
Plot Lines: The ATR price targets are plotted as lines for easy visualization on the chart.
Usage:
The ATR price targets can be used as potential take-profit or stop-loss levels.
The POC can serve as a key level for assessing market sentiment and potential reversals.
Traders can adjust the ATR multipliers and start time based on their specific trading style and market conditions.
Settings:
ATR Price Targets 1, 2, 3: Adjust the multipliers for the ATR price targets. By default, these are set to 1*ATR for T1+/T1-, 3*ATR for T2+/T2- and ATR*6 for T3+/T3-. Adjust with caution as the price targets found in defaults have proven to be more accurate over intraday cycles for volatile stocks.
Start Hour & Start Minute: Set the starting hour and minute for the calculations. By default, these are set to the opening 5 minute intraday bar, but can also be set to the opening bar of pre-market hours.
Volume Footprint Voids [BigBeluga]Volume Footprint Voids is a unique tool that uses lower timeframe calculation to plot different styles of single candle POC.
This indicator is very powerful for scalping and finding very precise entry and exits, spotting potential trapped traders, and more.
Unlike many other volume profiles, this aims to plot single candle profiles as well as their own footprints.
🔶 FEATURES
The script includes the following settings:
Windows: Plotting style and calculations
Coloring modes
Display modes
lower-timeframe calculations
🔶 CALCULATION
In the image above we can see how the script calculates each level position that will serve as a calculation process to see how much volume/closes there are within the levels.
In the image above, we can have a more clear example of how we count each candle close.
We use the prior screenshot as an example, after setting each level we will use the lower-timeframe input to measure the amount of closes within the ranges.
Depending on the lot size, the box will be larger or smaller, usually the POC will always have the highest box size.
NOTE: Size is the starting point, always from the low of the candle.
To find more voids, select a closer LTF to the current one you're using.
To find fewer voids, select a timeframe away from your current one.
Due to Pine Script limitations, we are only able to plot a certain amount of footprints, and we can't plot the whole history chart.
POC will be the largest block displayed, indicating the time point of control
Gray areas are closes above the average
Black are Void or imbalance that price will fill in the future, like FVG
The image above shows an incorrect size input that will lead to bad calculations, while on the other side, a correct size input that will lead to a clear vision and better calculation.
🔶 WINDOWS
The "▲▼" Mode will display delta buyers and delta sellers coloring with voids as black.
It also offers a gradient mode for a beautier visualization
The "Total Volume" mode will display the net volume within the lot size (closes within the levels).
This is useful to spot possible highest net volume within the same highest lot size.
The "POC + Gaps" will show both POC and Gaps as the highest block while all the rest will be considered as the smaller block.
This is useful to see where the highest lot were and if there are higher or lower imbalances within the candle
The last option "Gaps" will simply display the gaps as the highest block, while the POC as the lowest block.
This is useful to have a better view of the gaps areas
🔶 EXAMPLE
This is one of the most basic examples of how this script can be used. POC at the bottom creating a strong support area as price holds and creates higher voids gap that price fills while rising.
🔶 SETTINGS
Users have full control over the script, from colors to choosing the lower-timeframe inputs to disabling the lot size.
Quadro Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Quadro Volume Profile is a precision-engineered volume profiling tool that segments market activity into four distinct quadrants surrounding the current price. By separating bullish and bearish volume above and below the current price, it helps traders identify dominant forces and high-interest price zones with ease. Each quadrant includes label annotations showing total volume and its share of overall activity — delivering powerful insights into the market’s internal structure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Four-Quadrant Volume Distribution : Volume is separated into Buy and Sell profiles both above and below the current price.
Directional Volume Logic : Bullish and bearish candle volume is allocated to specific bins, creating color-coded volume stacks.
Dynamic PoC Detection : Point of Control (PoC) levels are calculated per quadrant and optionally displayed.
Lookback-Based Anchoring : The volume histogram is anchored to a fixed lookback window, ensuring consistency and historical context.
Label-Based Analytics : Each quadrant displays a labeled breakdown of direction, total volume, and percentage weight of total activity.
🔵 FEATURES
Four separate volume profiles:
Upper Left: Bearish volume (Sell Quad above price)
Upper Right: Bullish volume (Buy Quad above price)
Lower Left: Bullish volume (Buy Quad below price)
Lower Right: Bearish volume (Sell Quad below price)
Live Labels for Each Quad:
Displays BUY or SELL direction
Shows total volume per quadrant (e.g. 607.49K)
Displays percent share of total quad volume (e.g. 18.87%)
Toggle visibility for each profile and each Point of Control (PoC) dashed PoC lines with volume annotations
Adjustable calculation period (lookBack), number of bins, and horizontal offset
Color gradient intensity represents volume strength per bin
Auto-cleaning visuals to keep the chart uncluttered
Gradient color control for Buy and Sell volumes
Clean midline split between upper and lower quadrants
🔵 HOW TO USE
Select your desired calculation period (default: 200 bars) to define the range for volume analysis.
Adjust the bins parameter for more or less resolution in volume distribution.
Toggle each quadrant on/off depending on your preference using the settings panel:
“Upper Sell Quad” – shows bearish volume above current price (left)
“Upper Buy Quad” – shows bullish volume above current price (right)
“Lower Buy Quad” – shows bullish volume below current price (left)
“Lower Sell Quad” – shows bearish volume below current price (right)
Enable or disable PoC lines for each quad to highlight where volume peaked.
Use the gradient coloring to identify volume imbalances — sharp differences between opposing quads often indicate key zones of rejection or breakout.
Monitor the midline level which splits the four quadrants — it serves as a psychological pivot zone.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Quadro Volume Profile offers a powerful and visually intuitive way to dissect market activity around price. By splitting volume into four quadrants, traders can better interpret order flow, identify dominant volume zones, and spot potential reversals or continuation setups. Whether you're trading breakouts, liquidity sweeps, or range-bound behavior — this tool adds a structured layer of volume context to your charting workflow.
HTF POC with Zones & AlertsPlots a Point of Control (POC) per candle from a timeframe you choose (MTF). Because TradingView doesn’t expose true footprint data, the POC here is a proxy (choose: Body Mid, Range Mid, or Typical Price HLC3). The script draws the POC line and an optional POC zone (±% of that candle’s range), then alerts when price retests the zone (wick touches count).
Use it to:
Mark key levels inside candles that often act as magnets or reaction zones
Track retests of strong bars (imbalance) across higher timeframes
Add clean confluence with S/R, FVGs, or trend tools
Features: Selectable TF, zone width, extend lines/zones, historical caps, alerts, and info panel.
Note: This is an estimate of POC from OHLC, not real bid/ask volume. Use as context, not a standalone signal.
