Range Detect SystemTechnical analysis indicator designed to identify potential significant price ranges and the distribution of volume within those ranges. The system helps traders calculate POC and show volume history. Also detecting breakouts or potential reversals. System identifies ranges with a high probability of price consolidation and helps screen out extreme price moves or ranges that do not meet certain volatility thresholds.
⭕️ Key Features
Range Detection — identifies price ranges where consolidation is occurring.
Volume Profile Calculation — indicator calculates the Point of Control (POC) based on volume distribution within the identified range, enhancing the analysis of market structure.
Volume History — shows where the largest volume was traded from the center of the range. If the volume is greater in the upper part of the range, the color will be green. If the volume is greater in the lower part, the color will be red.
Range Filtering — Includes multi-level filtering options to avoid ranges that are too volatile or outside normal ranges.
Visual Customization — Shows graphical indicators for potential bullish or bearish crossovers at the upper and lower range boundaries. Users can choose the style and color of the lines, making it easier to visualize ranges and important levels on the chart.
Alerts — system will notify you when a range has been created and also when the price leaves the range.
⭕️ How it works
Extremes (Pivot Points) are taken as a basis, after confirming the relevance of the extremes we take the upper and lower extremes and form a range. We check if it does not violate a number of rules and filters, perform volume calculations, and only then is the range displayed.
Pivot points is a built-in feature that shows an extremum if it has not been updated N bars to the left and N bars to the right. Therefore, there is a delay depending on the bars specified to check, which allows for a more accurate range. This approach allows not to make unnecessary recalculations, which completely eliminates the possibility of redrawing or range changes.
⭕️ Settings
Left Bars and Right Bars — Allows you to define the point that is the highest among the specified number of bars to the left and right of this point.
Range Logic — Select from which point to draw the range. Maximums only, Minimums only or both.
Use Wick — Option to consider the wick of the candles when identifying Range.
Breakout Confirmation — The number of bars required to confirm a breakout, after which the range will close.
Minimum Range Length — Sets the minimum number of candles needed for a range to be considered valid.
Row Size — Number of levels to calculate POC. *Larger values increase the script load.
% Range Filter — Dont Show Range is than more N% of Average Range.
Multi Filter — Allows use of Bollinger Bands, ATR, SMA, or Highest-Lowest range channels for filtering ranges based on volatility.
Range Hit — Shows graphical labels when price hits the upper or lower boundaries of the range, signaling potential reversal or breakout points.
Range Start — Show points where Range was created.

Support Resistance UltimateThe "Support Resistance ULTIMATE" indicator is a comprehensive tool for traders on the TradingView platform, designed to identify key support and resistance levels using two primary techniques: pivot points and volume data. This indicator provides flexibility and customization, allowing traders to adapt it to their specific trading strategies.
KEY FEATURES
Pivot-Based Levels:
This feature calculates support and resistance levels using pivot points, which are derived from the high, low, and close prices of previous trading periods. Pivot points are crucial for forecasting potential market turning points.
Users can customize the pivot calculation by selecting the source type (either 'Close' or 'High/Low') and adjusting the lookback periods for both the left and right sides of the pivot calculation. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
Volume-Based Levels:
This option focuses on identifying support and resistance levels based on volume data, specifically the Point of Control (POC). The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume during a specific time period, reflecting a consensus value among market participants.
The indicator includes a rolling POC calculation, allowing traders to dynamically assess areas of significant trading interest that may serve as support or resistance zones.
ADVANTAGES
Customization and Flexibility:
Traders can choose between pivot-based and volume-based levels or use both simultaneously, depending on their analysis needs. This dual approach provides a comprehensive view of market dynamics, accommodating various trading styles.
The indicator offers customizable color settings for support and resistance lines, enhancing chart readability and allowing traders to personalize their visual analysis.
Enhanced Market Insights:
By utilizing pivot points, traders can identify potential reversal or consolidation points, aiding in the prediction of market trends and the establishment of strategic entry and exit points.
Volume-based levels provide insights into market sentiment and participation, highlighting areas of strong support or resistance based on trading volume. This can improve risk management and trade execution by identifying high-probability trading zones.
Importance Scoring:
The indicator calculates the importance of each level based on the number of touches and the duration it holds. This scoring system helps traders assess the strength of support and resistance levels, with thicker lines indicating more significant levels.
This indicator is intended for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Trading involves significant risk, and you should consult with a financial advisor before making any trading decisions. The performance of this indicator is not guaranteed, and past results do not predict future performance. Use at your own risk.

Customizable Colors:
Traders can choose colors for daily, weekly, monthly, and previous day levels to enhance chart readability and personalization.
Flexible Display Options:
Users can select which price levels (Open, Low, High, Close, EQ) to display for each period (daily, weekly, monthly, previous day, week, month).
How It Works:
The script fetches historical and current price data using the request.security function. It then uses these data points to draw lines on the chart representing significant price levels. These lines are drawn into the future to help traders visualize where these levels will be in upcoming bars. Labels are added to these lines for easy identification.
How to Use:
Configure Inputs:
Enable or disable the display of daily, weekly, monthly, and previous period levels using the input options.
Customize colors for different levels to match your charting preferences.

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

Filtered Volume Profile [ChartPrime]The "Filtered Volume Profile" is a powerful tool that offers insights into market activity. It's a technical analysis tool used to understand the behavior of financial markets. It uses a fixed range volume profile to provide a histogram representing how much volume occurred at distinct price levels.
Profile in action with various significant levels displayed
How to Use
The script is designed to analyze cumulative trading volumes in different price bins over a certain period, also known as `'lookback'`. This lookback period can be defined by the user and it represents the number of bars to look back for calculating levels of support and resistance.
The `'Smoothing'` input determines the degree to which the output is smoothed. Higher values lead to smoother results but may impede the responsiveness of the indicator to rapid changes in volatility.
The `'Peak Sensitivity'` input is used to adjust the sensitivity of the script's peak detection algorithm. Setting this to a lower value makes the algorithm more sensitive to local changes in trading volume and may result in "noisier" outputs.
The `'Peak Threshold'` input specifies the number of bins that the peak detection mechanism should account for. Larger numbers imply that more volume bins are taken into account, and the resultant peaks are based on wider intervals.
The `'Mean Score Length'` input is used for scaling the mean score range. This is particularly important in defining the length of lookback bars that will be used to calculate the average close price.
Sinc Filter
The application of the sinc-filter to the Filtered Volume Profile reduces the risk of viewing artefacts that may misrepresent the underlying market behavior. Sinc filtering is a high-quality and sharp filter that doesn't manifest any ringing effects, making it an optimal choice for such volume profiling.
Histogram
On the histogram, the volume profile is colored based on the balance of bullish to bearish volume. If a particular bar is more intense in color, it represents a larger than usual volume during a single price bar. This is a clear signal of a strong buying or selling pressure at a particular price level.
Threshold for Peaks
The `peak_thresh` input determines the number of bins the algorithm takes in account for the peak detection feature. The 'peak' represents the level where a significant amount of volume trading has occurred, and usually is of interest as an indicative of support or resistance level.
By increasing the `peak_thresh`, you're raising the bar for what the algorithm perceives as a peak. This could result in fewer, but more significant peaks being identified.
History of Volume Profiles and Evolution into Sinc Filtering
Volume profiling has a rich history in market analysis, dating back to the 1950s when Richard D. Wyckoff, a legendary trader, introduced the concept of volume studies. He understood the critical significance of volume and its relationship with market price movement. The core of Wyckoff's technical analysis suite was the relationship between prices and volume, often termed as "Effort vs Results".
Moving forward, in the early 1800s, the esteemed mathematician J. R. Carson made key improvements to the sinc function, which formed the basis for sinc filtering application in time series data. Following these contributions, trading studies continued to create and integrate more advanced statistical measures into market analysis.
This culminated in the 1980s with J. Peter Steidlmayer’s introduction of Market Profile. He suggested that markets were a function of continuous two-way auction processes thus introducing the concept of viewing markets in price/time continuum and price distribution forms. Steidlmayer's Market Profile was the first wide-scale operation of organized volume and price data.
However, despite the introduction of such features, challenges in the analysis persisted, especially due to noise that could misinform trading decisions. This gap has given rise to the need for smoothing functions to help eliminate the noise and better interpret the data. Among such techniques, the sinc filter has become widely recognized within the trading community.
The sinc filter, because of its properties of constructing a smooth passing through all data points precisely and its ability to eliminate high-frequency noise, has been considered a natural transition in the evolution of volume profile strategies. The superior ability of the sinc filter to reduce noise and shield against over-fitting makes it an ideal choice for smoothing purposes in trading scripts, particularly where volume profiling forms the crux of the market analysis strategy, such as in Filtered Volume Profile.
Moving ahead, the use of volume-based studies seems likely to remain a core part of technical analysis. As long as markets operate based on supply and demand principles, understanding volume will remain key to discerning the intent behind price movements. And with the incorporation of advanced methods like sinc filtering, the accuracy and insight provided by these methodologies will only improve.
Mean Score
The mean score in the Filtered Volume Profile script plays an important role in probabilistic inferences regarding future price direction. This score essentially characterizes the statistical likelihood of price trends based on historical data.
The mean score is calculated over a configurable `'Mean Score Length'`. This variable sets the window or the timeframe for calculation of the mean score of the closing prices.
Statistically, this score takes advantage of the concept of z-scores and probabilities associated with the t-distribution (a type of probability distribution that is symmetric and bell-shaped, just like the standard normal distribution, but has heavier tails).
The z-score represents how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. In this case, the "element" is the price level (Point of Control).
The mean score section of the script calculates standard errors for the root mean squared error (RMSE) and addresses the uncertainty in the prediction of the future value of a random variable.
The RMSE of a model prediction concerning observed values is used to measure the differences between values predicted by a model and the values observed.
The lower the RMSE, the better the model is able to predict. A zero RMSE means a perfect fit to the data. In essence, it's a measure of how concentrated the data is around the line of best fit.
Through the mean score, the script effectively predicts the likelihood of the future close price being above or below our identified price level.
Summary
Filtered Volume Profile is a comprehensive trading view indicator which utilizes volume profiling, peak detection, mean score computations, and sinc-filter smoothing, altogether providing the finer details of market behavior.
It offers a customizable look back period, smoothing options, and peak sensitivity setting along with a uniquely set peak threshold. The application of the Sinc Filter ensures a high level of accuracy and noise reduction in volume profiling, making this script a reliable tool for gaining market insights.
Furthermore, the use of mean score calculations provides probabilistic insights into price movements, thus providing traders with a statistically sound foundation for their trading decisions. As trading markets advance, the use of such methodologies plays a pivotal role in formulating effective trading strategies and the Filtered Volume Profile is a successful embodiment of such advancements in the field of market analysis.
Time Profile [QuantVue]The Time Profile indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of volume and time-based price activity. The indicator combines two essential components into one indicator: the volume profile and the time profile.
The volume profile represents the distribution of trading volume at different price levels over a specified period and is displayed as a circle on the chart.
It provides a visual representation of where the majority of trading volume occurred and often highlights significant support and resistance levels. The volume profile is calculated as the closing price of the highest volume intraday bar, based on the user selected lower time frame.
On the other hand, the time profile focuses on analyzing the time spent at certain price levels. The indicator divides the current bars range into 10 blocks and counts the number of user selected lower time frame closes within each time block.
The block with the most lower time frame closes in it is deemed the time point of control. Traders can use this information to identify time blocks where price movement was most significant.
The time profile is drawn on the Y axis of the current bar to allow for an easy visualization of where price spent most of its time. Historical time profiles are also noted on previous bars with a dash marking the level.
The Time Profile indicator offers several customization options. Traders can adjust the timeframe for the lower time frame data, decide whether to display the time profile, and customize colors for visual clarity.
Additionally, traders can choose to highlight instances where the Volume POC and Time POC align, indicating a strong concentration of volume and price activity.
Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
We hope you enjoy!
Cheers.
Synthetic Price Action GeneratorNOTICE:
First thing you need to know, it "DOES NOT" reflect the price of the ticker you will load it on. THIS IS NOT AN INDICATOR FOR TRADING! It's a developer tool solely generating random values that look exactly like the fractals we observe every single day. This script's generated candles are as fake as the never ending garbage news cycles we are often force fed and expected to believe by using carefully scripted narratives peddled as hypnotic truth to psychologically and emotionally influence you to the point of control by coercion and subjugation. I wanted to make the script's synthetic nature very clear using that analogy, it's dynamically artificial. Do not accidentally become disillusioned by this scripts values, make trading decisions from it, and lastly don't become victim to predatory media magic ministry parrots with pretty, handsome smiles, compelling you to board their ferris wheel of fear. Now, on to the good stuff...
BACKSTORY:
Occasionally I find myself in situations where I have to build analyzers in Pine to actually build novel quantitative analytic indicators and tools worthy of future use. These analyzers certainly don't exist on this platform, but usually are required to engineer and tweak algorithms of the highest quality with the finest computational caliber. I have numerous other synthesizers to publish besides this one.
For many reasons, I needed a synthetic environment to utilize the analyzers I built in Pine, to even pursue building some exotic indicators and algorithms. Pine doesn't allow sourcing of tuples. Not to mention, I required numerous Pine advancements to make long held dreams into tangible realities. Many Pine upgrades have arrived and MANY, MANY more are in need of implementation for all. Now that I have this, intending to use it in the future often when in need, you can now use it too. I do anticipate some skilled Pine poets will employ this intended handy utility to design and/or improved indicators for trading.
ORIGIN:
This was inspired by the brilliance from the world renowned ALGOmist John F. Ehlers, but it's taken on a completely alien form from its original DNA. Browsing on the internet for something else, I came across an article with a small code snippet, and I remembered an old wish of mine. I have long known that by flipping back and forth on specific tickers and timeframes in my Watchlist is not the most efficient way to evaluate indicators in multiple theatres of price action. I realized, I always wanted to possess and use this sort of tool, so... I put it into Pine form, but now have decided to inject it with Pine Script steroids. The outcome is highly mutable candle formations in a reusable mutagenic package, observable above and masquerading as genuine looking price candles.
OVERVIEW:
I guess you could call it a price action synthesizer, but I entitled it "Synthetic Price Action Generator" for those who may be searching for such a thing. You may find this more useful on the All or 5Y charts initially to witness indication from beginning (barstate.isfirst === barindex==0) to end (last_bar_index), but you may also use keyboard shortcuts + + to view the earliest plottable bars on any timeframe. I often use that keyboard shortcut to qualify an indicator through the entirety of it's runtime.
A lot can go wrong unexpectedly with indicator initialization, and you will never know it if you don't inspect it. Many recursively endowed Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) Filters can initialize with unintended results that minutely ring in slightly erroneous fashion for the entire runtime, beginning to end, causing deviations from "what should of been..." values with false signals. Looking closely at spg(), you will recognize that 3 EMAs are employed to manage and maintain randomness of CLOSE, HIGH, and LOW. In fact, any indicator's barindex==0 initialization can be inspected with the keyboard shortcuts above. If you see anything obviously strange in an authors indicator, please contact the developer if possible and respectfully notify them.
PURPOSE:
The primary intended application of this script, is to offer developers from advanced to even novice skill levels assistance with building next generation indicators. Mostly, it's purpose is for testing and troubleshooting indicators AND evaluating how they perform in a "manageable" randomized environment. Some times indicators flake out on rare but problematic price fluctuations, and this may help you with finding your issues/errata sooner than later. While the candles upon initial loading look pristine, by tweaking it to the minval/maxval parameters limits OR beyond with a few code modifications, you can generate unusual volatility, for instance... huge wicks. Limits of minval= and maxval= of are by default set to a comfort zone of operation. Massive wicks or candle bodies will undoubtedly affect your indication and often render them useless on tickers that exhibit that behavior, like WGMCF intraday currently.
Copy/paste boundaries are provided for relevant insertion into another script. Paste placement should happen at the very top of a script. Note that by overwriting the close, open, high, etc... values, your compiler will give you generous warnings of "variable shadowing" in abundance, but this is an expected part of applying it to your novel script, no worries. plotcandle() can be copied over too and enabled/disabled in Settings->Style. Always remember to fully remove this scripts' code and those assignments properly before actual trading use of your script occurs, AND specifically when publishing. The entirety of this provided code should never, never exist in a published indicator.
OTHER INTENTIONS:
Even though these are 100% synthetic generated price points, you will notice ALL of the fractal pseudo-patterns that commonly exist in the markets, are naturally occurring with this generator too. You can also swiftly immerse yourself in pattern recognition exercises with increased efficiency in real time by clicking any SPAG Setting in focus and then using the up/down arrow keys. I hope I explained potential uses adequately...
On a personal note, the existence of fractal symmetry often makes me wonder, do we truly live in a totality chaotic universe or is it ordered mathematically for some outcomes to a certain extent. I think both. My observations, it's a pre-deterministic reality completely influenced by infinitesimal amounts of sentient free will with unimaginable existing and emerging quantities. Some how an unknown mysterious mechanism governing the totality of universal physics and mathematics counts this 100.0% flawlessly and perpetually. Anyways, you can't change the past that long existed before your birth or even yesterday, but you can choose to dream, create, and forge the future into your desires and hopes. As always, shite always happens when your not looking for it. What you choose to do after stepping in it unintentionally... is totally up to you. :) Maybe this tool and tips provided will aid you in not stepping in an algo cachucha up to your ankles somehow.

Auto-Anchored Fibonacci Volume Profile [Custom Array Engine]Description:
1. The Theoretical Foundation: Structure vs. Participation In professional technical analysis, traders often struggle to reconcile two distinct datasets: Price Geometry (where price should go) and Market Participation (where money actually went).
Why Fibonacci? (The Structure) Fibonacci Retracements map the mathematical structure of a trend. They identify psychological and algorithmic "interest zones" (0.382, 0.5, 0.618) where a correction is statistically likely to terminate. However, Fibonacci levels are theoretical—they are "lines in the sand" that do not guarantee liquidity or reaction.
Why Volume Profile? (The Verification) Volume Profile maps the historical exchange of shares at specific price levels. It reveals "fair value" (High Volume Nodes) and "market imbalance" (Low Volume Nodes). It is the only tool that verifies if a specific price level was actually accepted by institutional participants.
2. Underlying Calculations (The Custom Engine) This script operates on a custom-built calculation engine that bypasses standard built-in functions entirely. It uses Pine Script Arrays to build a Volume Profile from scratch. Here is the breakdown of the proprietary code logic:
A. The "Smart-Fill" Distribution Algorithm (Solves Gapping)
The Problem: Standard volume scripts often assign a candle's entire volume to a single price row. In volatile markets or steep trends, this creates visual "gaps" or a "barcode" effect because price moved too fast to register on every row.
My Solution: I wrote a custom loop that calculates the vertical overlap of every candle against the profile grid.
The Math: Volume Per Bin = Total Candle Volume / Bins Touched.
The Result: If a single volatile candle spans 10 price rows (bins), the script mathematically divides that volume and distributes it equally into all 10 array indices. This generates a solid, continuous distribution curve that accurately reflects price action through the entire candle range, not just the close.
B. Dynamic Arrays & Split-Volume Logic The script initializes two separate floating-point arrays (buyVolArray and sellVolArray) sized to the user's resolution (up to 300 rows). It iterates through the specific time-window of the swing:
If Close >= Open, the calculated volume slice is injected into the Buy Array.
If Close < Open, it is injected into the Sell Array.
These arrays are then visually stacked to render the dual-color profile, allowing traders to see the "Delta" (Buyer vs. Seller aggression) at key structural levels.
C. Custom Garbage Collection (Performance) To enable the "Auto-Anchoring" feature without causing chart lag or visual artifacts ("ghosting"), the script includes a Garbage Collection System. Before drawing a new profile, the script iterates through a tracking array of all existing objects (box.delete, line.delete) and clears them from memory. This ensures the indicator remains lightweight and responsive even when dragging chart margins or switching timeframes.
3. The Synthesis: Why Combine Them? The core philosophy of this script is Confluence . A Fibonacci level without volume is merely a suggestion; a Fibonacci level backed by volume is a defensive wall. By algorithmically anchoring a Volume Profile to the exact coordinates of a Fibonacci swing, this tool allows traders to instantly answer critical questions:
"Is the Golden Pocket (0.618) supported by a High Volume Node (HVN), or is it a Low Volume Node (LVN) that price might slice through?"
"Is the Shallow Retracement (0.382) holding because of structural support, or just a lack of selling pressure?"
4. How to Read the Indicator
The Geometry: The script automatically detects the trend and draws standard Fib levels (0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0).
The Confluence Check: Look for the Point of Control (Red Line). If this High Volume Node aligns with a key Fib level (e.g., the 0.618), the probability of a reversal increases significantly.
The Imbalance Check: Look for "Valleys" in the profile (Low Volume Nodes). These gaps often act as "slippage zones" where price travels quickly between structural levels.
Buy/Sell Splits: The dual-color bars (Teal/Red) reveal the composition of the volume. A 0.618 level held up by dominant Buy Volume is a stronger bullish signal than one with mixed volume.
5. Settings & Customization
Lookback Length: Sensitivity of the swing detection (Default: 200 bars).
Resolution: Granularity of the profile rows (Default: 100). Higher values provide smoother definition.
Width (%): Responsive sizing that scales the profile relative to the trend's duration.
Extend Lines: Option to project structural levels infinitely to the right.

🟡 GOLD 4H HUD v8.9 — Loose ICT OB + Strong/Weak + FVG/HVN/LVNGOLD 4H HUD v8.9 is a clean, structured Smart Money Concepts (SMC)–based analysis tool designed exclusively for XAUUSD on the 4-hour timeframe.
It focuses on the three most important elements for institutional orderflow analysis:
✔ Loose ICT Order Blocks (Demand/Supply)
✔ Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
✔ Volume Profile Zones (HVN/LVN/POC)
The script builds a professional-style HUD that displays the key institutional regions and structural levels that matter most for gold traders.
📌 Key Features
1 — Market Structure Engine (HH/HL & BOS)
The indicator detects:
Minor swing Highs and Lows
Last confirmed HH / HL levels
Break of Structure (BOS) for directional bias
EMA-200 trend filter (UP / DOWN / NEUTRAL)
This gives traders a clean structural read without clutter or noise.
2 — Loose FVG Engine (Tolerance-Based ICT Gaps)
A soft-threshold FVG engine detects “loose” Fair Value Gaps using a 0.1% price tolerance.
This method ensures:
Fewer missed imbalances
Cleaner OB/FVG alignment
Higher accuracy on 4H gold displacement legs
FVGs automatically shift to the right side of the chart for clean visualization.
3 — Order Block Engine (Demand/Supply + Strong/Weak Classification)
A simplified ICT-style OB engine scans the past few candles whenever BOS is detected.
It identifies:
Demand OB during bullish BOS
Supply OB during bearish BOS
Strong OB if fully nested inside an active FVG
Weak OB otherwise
OB boxes include:
Clear color coding (strong vs. weak)
Price range labels inside each box
Automatic right-shift for visual clarity
4 — Volume Profile Engine (POC / HVN / LVN / VAH / VAL)
Based on a rolling window (default 120 bars), the script builds a lightweight volume distribution.
It displays:
POC (Point of Control)
HVN (High Volume Node)
LVN (Low Volume Node)
Value Area High / Low
HVN/LVN zones are shown as right-shifted colored boxes with price labels.
These zones help identify:
Institutional accumulation
Low-liquidity rejection points
Areas where price tends to react strongly
5 — Support / Resistance Mapping
The script automatically generates:
OB-based support/resistance
Swing-high/swing-low levels
HVN/LVN structural levels
These are displayed in the HUD for fast reference.
6 — Professional HUD Panel
A compact, easy-to-read HUD summarizes:
Trend direction
Latest HH/HL
OB ranges (Strong/Weak)
HVN/LVN price zones
POC
Multi-layer support & resistance
This turns the script into a fully functional analysis dashboard.
📌 What This Indicator Is NOT
To avoid misunderstanding:
It does not take entries or generate buy/sell signals
It does not auto-detect CHOCH, MSS, SMT, or sweeps
It is not a trading bot
This tool is designed as an institutional-style map and analysis HUD, not a strategy.
📌 Best Use Case
This indicator is ideal for traders who want to:
Read institutional structure on XAUUSD
Identify clean Demand/Supply zones
Visualize FVG/OB/HVN interactions
Track high-value liquidity levels
Build directional bias on 4H before dropping to execution timeframes
⚠ Important Note
This tool is designed exclusively for the 4H timeframe.
Using it on lower timeframes will display a warning.

Advanced Market Profile & S/R Zones (Pro)Advanced Market Profile & S/R Zones
This indicator brings professional Auction Market Theory to your chart using a custom rolling Volume Profile algorithm. Unlike standard profiles that remain fixed, this tool dynamically calculates the "Fair Value" of the asset based on your specific lookback period (e.g., the last 100 bars).
It automatically highlights the Point of Control (POC), Value Area (VA), and suggests statistical Discount (Buy) and Premium (Sell) zones.
Key Features
Volume Splitting Algorithm:
Most basic scripts dump the entire volume of a candle into a single price point (the average). This script splits the volume across the candle's entire High-Low range. This results in a much smoother, higher-resolution bell curve that accurately reflects price action, especially on higher timeframes like Monthly charts.
Auto-generated Zones:
Green Zone (Discount): Prices below the Value Area Low (VAL). Statistically "cheap."
Red Zone (Premium): Prices above the Value Area High (VAH). Statistically "expensive."
Real-Time Dashboard:
A built-in panel displays the exact price levels for the POC, VAH, and VAL for precise limit order placement, along with the current Market Trend.
How to Use
For Intraday (Day Trading):
Settings: Set Lookback to 100 - 300.
Strategy: Watch for price to open outside the Value Area. If price breaks back inside the Value Area, target the POC (Red Line).
For Macro (Monthly/Weekly Charts):
Settings: Set Lookback to 12 (1 Year) or 60 (5 Years).
Strategy: Identify multi-year structural support. When a monthly candle enters the Green Discount Zone of a 5-year profile, it is often a high-probability institutional entry point.
Trend Logic
The Dashboard indicates trend based on price location relative to value:
Strong Bullish: Price is accepted ABOVE the Value Area.
Strong Bearish: Price is accepted BELOW the Value Area.
Neutral / In VA: Price is chopping inside the Value Area.
Disclaimer
This is a "Rolling Profile." It calculates the profile based on the current lookback window relative to the latest bar. As new bars form, the lookback window shifts, and the profile updates to reflect the new dataset.

Ata✨SMAThis Pine Script v6 indicator performs three main functions on a trading chart:
Multiple Moving Averages (MA)
Displays 7 moving averages with fixed lengths (5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 200).
Allows the user to select the MA type: SMA, EMA, WMA, or HMA.
Each MA has a distinct color and line width for clear visual differentiation.
Support and Resistance (S/R) Levels
Identifies key price levels based on pivot points (local highs/lows) within a user‑defined lookback period.
Filters levels by:
Minimum strength (number of touches).
Maximum zone width (as a percentage of price range).
Timeframe (user‑selectable: 5m to monthly).
Visualizes levels as horizontal zones (boxes) colored by type:
Red (res_col) for resistance.

HTF Candle Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
The HTF Candle Profile visualizes higher-timeframe candle structure and its internal volume distribution directly on lower-timeframe charts. It automatically detects changes in higher-timeframe periods (daily, weekly, or monthly) and constructs a complete volume profile for each, allowing traders to see how volume is distributed across the range of that higher-timeframe candle. This helps identify whether momentum is supported by real volume strength or trapped price movement.
⯁ LOGIC
When a new higher-timeframe candle begins, the indicator starts collecting data for its open, high, low, close, and volume range.
Once sufficient bars have passed (defined by the Min Period Profile input), it calculates a full profile using adaptive bin sizing derived from the range (High–Low) and ATR for scaling precision.
The resulting bins represent the volume concentration at each price level of that higher-timeframe candle.
A Point of Control (PoC) is highlighted — the level where the most volume occurred.
The indicator then draws the higher-timeframe candle body and wicks at the chart’s right side, giving visual context of bullish or bearish sentiment.
⯁ FEATURES
Automatic HTF Detection: Identifies new Daily, Weekly, or Monthly periods and updates profiles in real time.
Dynamic Bin Calculation: Automatically adjusts bin size based on ATR and candle height for accurate volume granularity.
Volume Profile Rendering: Displays colored volume bars extending from the candle, showing where trading activity was concentrated.
Higher-Timeframe Candle Representation: Plots the full HTF candle (open, close, high, low) on the right side of the chart for visual clarity.
PoC Level & Labels: Marks the point of maximum volume within the candle profile with a line and volume label.
Configurable Levels: Toggle display of Open, Close, High, Low, and PoC for each higher-timeframe segment.
Color-coded Sentiment: Candle and profile colors reflect bullish or bearish momentum.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The HTF Candle Profile bridges lower- and higher-timeframe analysis by embedding high-resolution volume data within each major candle. It enables traders to see where liquidity and trading activity cluster inside higher-timeframe structures — revealing whether trends are volume-backed or hollow. Perfect for combining structural insight with volume confluence when analyzing market sentiment transitions across timeframes.
Periodic Volume Time Velocity ProfileThis is the Periodic Volume Time Velocity Profile (PVTVP). It is an advanced professional profiling tool that goes beyond standard volume analysis by introducing Time and Velocity (Flow Rate) as profile dimensions.
By analyzing high-resolution intra-bar data, it builds
precise profiles for any custom period (Session, Day, Week, etc.),
helping you understand not just *where* the market traded,
but *how* it traded there.
## The 3 Dimensions of the Market
Unlike standard tools that only show Volume, PVTVP allows you
to switch between three critical metrics:
1. **VOLUME Profile (The "Where"):**
* Shows standard acceptance. High volume nodes (HVN)
are magnets for price.
2. **TIME Profile (The "How Long"):**
* Similar to TPO, it measures how long price spent at each
level.
* **High Time:** True acceptance and fair value.
* **Low Time:** Rejection or rapid movement.
3. **VELOCITY Profile (The "How Fast"):**
* Measures the **speed of trading** (Contracts per Second).
This reveals the hidden intent of market participants.
* **High Velocity (Fast Flow):** Aggression. Initiative
buyers/sellers are hitting market orders rapidly. Often
seen at breakouts or in liquidity vacuums.
* **Low Velocity (Slow Flow):** Absorption. Massive passive
limit orders are slowing price down despite high volume.
Often seen at major reversals ("hitting a brick wall").
## Key Features
1. **Statistical Volume Profile Engine:** For each bar in the selected
period, the indicator builds a complete volume profile on a lower
'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it uses
**statistical models ('PDF' allocation)** to distribute volume
across price levels and **advanced classifiers ('Dynamic' split)**
to determine the buy/sell pressure within that profile.
2. **Flexible Profile Display:** The **finalized profile** (plotted at
the end of each period) can be visualized in three distinct
ways: 'Up/Down' (buy vs. sell), 'Total' (combined volume),
and 'Delta' (net difference).
3. **Developing Key Levels:** The indicator also plots the developing
Point of Control (POC), Value Area (VA), VWAP, and Standard
Deviation bands in real-time as the period unfolds, providing
live insights into the emerging market structure.
4. **Dynamic Row Sizing:** Includes an option ('Rows per Percent')
to automatically adjust the number of profile rows (buckets)
based on the profile's price range, maintaining a consistent
visual density.
5. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes 12 alerts that trigger when the
main price crosses over or under the key developing levels:
POC, VWAP, Value Area High/Low, and the +/- Standard
Deviation bands.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is
normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only
be considered final **after the main chart bar has closed.**

RBD Market ProfileA Market Profile visually shows how much time (or how many bars) price spent at each price level within a session — helping identify areas of “fair value” (where price spent most time) and extremes (where price barely traded).
It divides each trading session (for example, a day, week, or month depending on input) into price segments, counts how many bars closed within each segment, and then identifies:
POC (Point of Control): price level with the highest frequency (most traded or visited).
VAH (Value Area High): upper boundary of the zone that contains 70% (or user-defined percentage) of all activity around the POC.
VAL (Value Area Low): lower boundary of that same 70% activity zone.
Finally, it plots lines for:
VAH (green line)
VAL (red line)
POC Upper & Lower (white lines)
Session Open (blue dashed line)
How to use this Market Profile:
Determine Key Areas of Support/Resistance by the VAH and VAL
VAH: Responsive Sellers and Initiative Buyers
VAL: Responsive Buyers and Initiative Sellers
POC: Can be used as Fair Value
Intra Bar Volume ProfileThis indicator provides a high-resolution volume profile analysis for every single bar on the chart. It builds this profile by sampling data from a lower intra-bar timeframe, allowing for a granular view of price distribution and buying/selling pressure within the bar.
Key Features:
Intra-Bar Profile Engine: For each bar on the main chart, the indicator builds a complete volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. It uses:
Statistical Models ('Allot model'): Distributes volume across price levels using 'PDF' (Probability Density Function) or 'Classic' (close) methods.
Buy/Sell Classifiers ('Volume Estimator'): Splits volume using a 'Dynamic' (trend/wick-based) or 'Classic' (candle color) model.
On-Chart Visualization (Overlay): The analysis is rendered directly onto the price bars:
Point of Control (POC): A line showing the price level with the most volume for that bar.
Value Area (VA): A colored box representing the price range where the specified percentage (e..g., 50%) of volume was traded.
VWAP: Displays the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the bar as a separate line.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 8 alerts that trigger when the main price crosses over or under the key intra-bar levels: POC, VWAP, and the Value Area High/Low.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.

Periodic Volume ProfileThis indicator visualizes volume profiles that are dynamically anchored to market structure events, rather than fixed time intervals. It builds these profiles using high-resolution intra-bar data to provide a precise view of where value is established during critical market phases.
Key Features:
Event-Based Profile Anchoring: The indicator starts a new profile based on one of three user-selected events ('Profile Anchor'):
Swing: A new profile begins when the 'impulse baseline' (derived from delta) changes. This baseline adjusts when a new price pivot is confirmed: When a price high forms, the baseline moves to the lower of its previous level or the peak delta (max of delta O/C) at the pivot. When a price low forms, it moves to the higher of its previous level or the trough delta (min of delta O/C).
Structure: A new profile begins immediately on the bar that confirms a market structure break (e.g., a new HH or LL, based on a sequence of price pivots).
Delta: A new profile begins immediately on the bar that confirms a break in the cumulative delta's market structure (e.g., a new HH or LL in the delta).
Statistical Profile Engine: For each bar in the anchored period, the indicator builds a volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. It uses:
Statistical Models ('Allot model'): Distributes volume across price levels using 'PDF' (Probability Density Function) or 'Classic' (close) methods.
Buy/Sell Classifiers ('Volume Estimator'): Splits volume using a 'Dynamic' (trend/wick-based) or 'Classic' (candle color) model.
Note on Anchor Lag: The different anchor types have different delays. 'Structure' and 'Delta' profiles begin in real-time on the confirmation bar. The 'Swing' profile calculation is plotted retroactively to the pivot's origin, as the pivot is only confirmed Pivot Right Bars after it occurs.
Flexible Visualization Modes: The finalized profile (plotted at the end of each period) can be displayed in three ways: 'Up/Down' (buy vs. sell), 'Total' (combined volume), and 'Delta' (net difference).
Developing Real-Time Metrics: The indicator plots the developing Point of Control (POC), Value Area (VA), VWAP, and Standard Deviation bands in real-time as the new profile forms.
Dynamic Row Sizing: Includes an option ('Rows per Percent') to automatically adjust the number of profile rows (buckets) based on the profile's price range, maintaining a consistent visual density.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 13 alerts that trigger for:
A new profile reset ('Profile was resetted').
Price crossing any of the 6 developing levels (POC, VA High/Low, VWAP, StdDev High/Low).
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.

It highlights:
Value Area (VAH / VAL) and Point of Control (POC)
Volume distribution by price level
Pivot-based labels showing price, % change, and volume
Optional colored candles based on volume strength relative to the average
Essentially, it visualizes how volume is distributed between market pivots to reveal key price zones and volume imbalances.
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile is a reimagined take on volume profile analysis. Instead of plotting a static horizontal histogram on the side of your chart, this indicator projects dynamic volume trace lines directly onto the price action. Each bin is color-graded according to its relative strength, creating a living “volume skeleton” of the market. The orange trace highlights the current Point of Control (POC)—the price level with maximum historical traded volume within the lookback window. On the right side, the tool builds a mini profile, showing absolute volume per bin alongside its percentage share, where the POC always represents 100% strength .
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic On-Chart Bins:
The range between highest high and lowest low is split into 25 bins. Each bin is drawn as a horizontal trace line across the lookback chart period.
Gradient Color Encoding:
Trace lines fade from transparent to teal depending on relative volume size. The more intense the teal, the stronger the historical traded activity at that level.
Automatic POC Highlight:
The bin with the highest aggregated volume is flagged with an orange line . This POC adapts bar-by-bar as volume distribution shifts.
Right-Side Volume Profile:
At the chart’s right edge, the script prints a box-style profile. Each bin shows:
• Total volume (absolute units).
• Percentage of max volume, in parentheses (POC bin = 100%).
This gives both raw and normalized context at a glance.
Adjustable Lookback Window:
The lookback defines how many bars feed the profile. Increase for stable HTF zones or decrease for responsive intraday distributions.
POC Toggle & Styling:
Optionally toggle POC highlighting on/off, adjust colors, and set line thickness for better integration with your chart theme.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Step Sizing:
over last 100 bars is divided by to calculate bin height.
Volume Aggregation:
For each bar in the , the script checks which bin the close falls into, then adds that bar’s volume to the bin’s counter.
Gradient Mapping:
Bin volume is normalized against the max volume across all bins. That value is mapped onto a gradient from transparent → teal.
POC Logic:
The bin with highest volume is colored orange both on the dynamic trace and in the right-side profile.
Right-Hand Profile:
Boxes are drawn for each bin proportional to volume / maxVolume × 50 units, with text labels showing both absolute volume and normalized %.
⯁ USAGE
Use the orange trace as the dominant “magnet” level—price often gravitates to the POC.
Watch for clusters of strong teal traces as areas of high acceptance; thin or faint zones mark low-liquidity gaps prone to fast moves.
On intraday charts, tighten lookback to reveal session-based distributions . For swing or position trading, expand lookback to surface more durable volume shelves.
Compare the right-side profile % to judge how “top-heavy” or “bottom-heavy” the current distribution is.
Use bright, intense color traces as context for confluence with structure, OBs, or liquidity hunts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile takes the traditional volume profile and fuses it into the body of price itself. Instead of a fixed sidebar, you see gradient traces layered directly on the chart, giving real-time context of where volume concentrated and where price may be drawn. With built-in POC highlighting, normalized % readouts, and an adaptive right-side profile, it offers both precision levels and market structure awareness in a cleaner, more intuitive form.
Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman) is a next-generation volume profile that renders market participation as a 3D-style profile directly on your chart. Instead of flat histograms, you get a depth-aware profile with parallax, gradient transparency, and bull/bear separation, so you can see where liquidity stacked up and how it shifted during the move.
Highlights:
3D visual effect with perspective and depth shading for clarity.
Bull/Bear separation to see whether up bars or down bars created the volume.
Flexible colors and gradients that highlight where the most significant trading activity took place.
This is a state-of-the-art volume profile — visually powerful, highly flexible, and unlike anything else available.
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The price range (from highest to lowest) is divided into a number of levels (buckets). Each bar’s volume is added to the correct level, based on its average price. This builds a map of where trading volume was concentrated.
You can choose to:
Aggregate all volume at each level, or
Split bullish vs. bearish volume , slightly offset for clarity.
This creates a clear view of which price zones matter most to the market.
⚪ 3D Effect Creation
The unique part of this indicator is how the 3D projection is built. Each volume block’s width is scaled to its relative size, then tilted with a slope factor to create a depth effect.
maxVol = bins.bu.max() + bins.be.max()
width = math.max(1, math.floor(bucketVol / maxVol * ((bar_index - start) * mult)))
slope = -(step * dev) / ((bar_index - start) * (mult/2))
factor = math.pow(math.min(1.0, math.abs(slope) / step), .5)
width → determines how far the volume extends, based on relative strength.
slope → creates the angled projection for the 3D look.
factor → adjusts perspective to make deeper areas shrink naturally.
The result is a 3D-style volume profile where large areas pop forward and smaller areas fade back, giving you immediate visual context.
█ How to Use
⚪ Support & Resistance Zones (HVNs and Value Area)
Regions where a lot of volume traded tend to act like walls:
If price approaches a high-volume area from above, it may act as support.
From below, it may act as resistance.
Traders often enter or exit near these zones because they represent strong agreement among market participants.
⚪ POC Rejections & Mean Reversions
The Point of Control (POC) is the single price level with the highest volume in the profile.
When price returns to the POC and rejects it, that’s often a signal for reversal trades.
In ranging markets, price may bounce between edges of the Value Area and revert to POC.
⚪ Breakouts via Low-Volume Zones (LVNs)
Low volume areas (gaps in the profile) offer path of least resistance:
Price often moves quickly through these thin zones when momentum builds.
Use them to spot breakouts or continuation trades.
⚪ Directional Insight
Use the bull/bear separation to see whether buyers or sellers dominated at key levels.
