Dynamic Volume ProfileThe result of standard volume profile is fix for a specified period of time. However, in this script the result is dynamic, because its calculated for every bar. In this script you can see the change of Point of Control , Value Area High and Value Area Low in real time.
Point of Control is the price level for the time period with the highest traded volume.
The area between value area low and value area high (green background) is the area where 70% of traded volume happen. You can customize this percentage value in input section.
Trader can customize input:
Period length
Number of rows
Percentage of value area

MTF Volume Profile & Signal Scanner v5The MTF Signal Scanner is a multi-timeframe trading system designed for futures trading, particularly optimized for MNQ (Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100). It combines volume profile analysis, EMA trend filtering, and a confluence scoring system to identify high-probability trade setups.
Multi-Timeframe Volume ProfileThe script has the volume profile VAH, VAL and POC for the previous week, overnight session, previous day and the current session.
Daily Volume ProfileThis indicator is identical to the Fixed Range Volume Profile,
except that it automatically fixes the range to a daily basis.
(SM3) Volume Profile Tool-kit1st pine script. It is a work in progress. I use this to mark previous day high and low value areas as well as overnight volume profile for NYSE open strategy.
Session Volume Profile-1This indicator used to show volume profile, you can not change the code. You can suggest the changes
Volume Profile: Intra-bar VolumeThis indicator was developed as part of a free blog post tutorial on the Backtest-Rookies website for detailed code commentary, head over there.
Scope
The indicator shall attempt to do the following:
Look at a lower time-frame. E.g 5 minutes when on a 1-hour chart.
Create a function to loop through through candles and make an assessment.
If the candle it closed up, the volume will be categorized as buying volume. Conversely, if it closed down, the volume will be categorized as selling volume
The function will then be passed to the security() function to run on a lower timeframe.
All buying volume and selling volume from the lower time-frame shall be summed and displayed on the main chart.
Important Note
This indicator will not give you genuine buying or selling volume. It simply follows the assumption that if price closed up, there must have been more buyers than sellers and if it closed down we assume the opposite.
Usage
In order to use this indicator, users will need to calculate how many lower time-frame bars are contained in the time-frame on the main chart. So for example, the default settings are configured for the indicator to be run on the 1H chart. As a result, we need to set the "Bars on Lower Timeframe" input to 12. This is because there are 12 x 5-minute bars in 60 minutes.
Volume Profile: Date-Range ObservationI have refined the strategy developed by kv4coins , incorporating an additional option for the observation date range. Previously, when seeking a fixed date range—particularly to track data from the onset of an event-driven trigger up to the present—it was somewhat cumbersome. To address this, I added a new date selection feature to accommodate the need for observing specific time periods.

Volume Profile Volume Delta OI Delta [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
This script serves to distinguish volume delta for any asset and open interest delta for Binance perpetual futures.
The image above provides further explanation of functionality and color correspondence.
The image above shows the indicator calculating volume at each tick level and displaying the metric.
The label color outline (neon effect) is configurable; the image above is absent the feature.
The image above shows Open Interest (OI) Delta calculated - similar to how the script calculates volume delta - for a Binance Perpetual Future pair.
This feature only works for Binance Futures pairs; the script will not load when trying to calculate OI Delta on other assets.
Additionally, a heatmap is displayable should you configure the indicator to calculate it.
The image above shows a heatmap using volume delta calculations.
The image above shows a heatmap using OI delta calculations.
Of course, these calculations - when absent requisite data - require some assumptions to better replicate calculations with access to requisite data.
The indicator assumes a 60/40 split when a tick level is traded at and only one metric - "buy volume" or "sell volume" is recorded. This means there shouldn't be any levels recorded where "buy volume" is greater than 0 and "sell volume" equals 0 and vice versa. While this assumption was performed arbitrarily, it may help better replicate volume delta and OI delta calculations seen on other charting platforms.
This option is configurable; you can select to have the script not assume a 60/40 split and instead record volume "as is" at the corresponding tick level.
The script also divides volume and open interest if a one-minute bar violates multiple tick levels. The volume or open interest generated on the one-minute bar will be divided by the number of tick levels it exceeds. The results are, subsequently, appended to the violated tick levels.
Further, the script can be set to recalculate after a user-defined time threshold is exceeded. You can also define the percentage or tick distance between levels.
Also, it'd be great if this indicator can nicely replicate volume delta indicators on other charting platforms. If you've any ideas on how price action can be used to better assume volume at the corresponding price area please let me know!
Thank you (:
Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR) with POC PriceThis script visualizes volume distribution for the bars currently visible on your chart, helping you identify key liquidity zones and high-traffic price levels.
Main Features:
・Dynamic Range: Recalculates automatically as you zoom or scroll.
・POC Price Label: Highlights the Point of Control (highest volume) with a clear price tag.
・Value Area (VA): Visually separates the most active trading zone (default 70%).
・Highly Flexible: Choose your preferred layout (Left or Right) and colors.
How to use:
1. Spot S/R Levels: Look for long bars (High Volume Nodes); these often act as strong support or resistance.
2. Monitor the POC: The Point of Control is a price magnet. Watch for reactions or retests at this level.
3. Low Volume Gaps: Price tends to move quickly through areas with very short volume bars.
Volume Profile Heatmap/ConcentrationThis is based on Colejustice's indicator. I just improved it so there's more clarity of the highly concentrated levels by making them more saturated and also reducing the noise of low saturated areas. There are also new settings that you can play with, such as:
1. Exponential Intensity
Making this higher will increase the saturation of high volume areas and lower the saturation of lower volume areas, basically, it changes the rate at which the saturation increases, so the levels are more visible
2. Visibility Threshold
Adjustes how much % of the highest volume areas will be visible. The default is 40%, so it doesn't show so much low-volume noise and gives the indicator more clarity.
Volume Profile - POC, VAH, VAL with ExtensionsMarks POC, VAH and VAL over selected time periods and extends the marker into the future for a selected period
Spike Base VPVolume Profile Spike Base:
Key Features:
Identifies M Period: Detects the 3:30-4:00 PM ET 30-minute candle (highlighted with light blue background)
Tracks Pre-M Extremes: Monitors the highest high and lowest low before the M period begins
Validates Extensions: Only marks spike bases when the M period extends at least 1 point (configurable) beyond the pre-M extreme
Visual Markers:
Green line = Bullish spike base (low extension) - the highest low before M period
Red line = Bearish spike base (high extension) - the lowest high before M period
Lines extend to the right for easy reference
Triangle markers show when valid spike bases form
Usage Notes:
Use on a 30-minute chart for /ES
Ensure your chart time zone is set to America/New York (or adjust the time zone)
The minimum extension is set to 1.0 points but you can adjust it in the indicator settings
Works best when the M period creates a true spike beyond recent price action
The indicator will draw horizontal lines at your spike base levels that persist on the chart, making them easy to reference for potential support/resistance during your day trading. (default is 5 days, adjustable from 1-30 days)
Volume Profile S/R + OB/OS + BreaksAs a support resistance trader I have created this indicator that shows SR lines. RSI over bought and over sold. I also added momentum candle.
It's easy to use. The arrows show over bought and over sold, that's where I start to be interested. Confirmation is if we are near a support/resistance area. shown as a red/green line.
Don't just trade the RSI, Be patient and only take the perfekt setups.
I't clean, it's simple it works.
Volume Profile - Previous Day Levels The green lines and area represent previous day Value Area. The values are not completely identical to Trading View default levels because of difference in calculation.
The white lines represent the min-max prices during the initial balance (9:30 to 10:30 EST). The diagnoal lines cannot be removed unfortunately.
You can also see same day evolving Valuea area and POC for momentum analysis.
DSMS - DeltaSurge Matrix Station - 1M Scalping [SurgeGuru]DSMS - DeltaSurge Matrix Station
HOW TO READ THE CHART
=====================================
This guide explains every visual element you see on the chart.
DSMS is a volume profile + order flow indicator built for 1-minute Bitcoin scalping.
It shows WHERE institutional money is sitting and WHERE price is likely to react next.
=====================================
1. THE VOLUME PROFILE (left side of chart)
=====================================
The colored horizontal bars extending left from the candles are the volume profile.
Each bar represents a price level (called a "bin") and shows how much volume traded there.
LONGER BAR = more volume at that price.
BAR COLOR tells you who is in control:
- Green/teal bar = buyers dominated that level (bullish delta)
- Red/orange bar = sellers dominated that level (bearish delta)
- The more intense the color, the stronger the imbalance
SPLIT BARS (bull/bear breakdown):
If enabled, each bar splits into two halves showing exact buy vs sell volume.
Top half = sell volume, bottom half = buy volume.
HEATMAP (wide faded bars behind the profile):
The large transparent boxes behind the profile bars are the heatmap.
They show the same delta information but stretched wider for quick visual scanning.
Bright = high conviction. Faded = low conviction.
=====================================
2. KEY PRICE LEVELS ON THE PROFILE
=====================================
POC (Point of Control):
The bin outlined with a bright border is the POC -- the single price level
with the MOST volume. Price tends to gravitate back to the POC.
A small label shows the POC price and context like "EQUILIBRIUM" or "BULL ATK".
POC FLASH LINE:
A short dashed cyan line appears at the POC when a bounce is detected.
Trigger conditions: price is at the POC, the current candle is bullish after
a bearish candle, and volume is at least 1.2x average. This signals that
the POC is acting as active support and price is reacting to it in real time.
VA HIGH / VA LOW (Value Area lines):
Two horizontal lines mark the top and bottom of the Value Area -- the price range
where approximately 70% of volume traded. These act as support and resistance.
- VA High = resistance when price is below, breakout level when price pushes above
- VA Low = support when price is above, breakdown level when price drops below
When a breakout happens, the line turns green (up) or red (down) and gets thicker.
=====================================
3. LABELS ON PROFILE BINS
=====================================
Each profile bin can show a small text label. These describe what is happening
at that specific price level. Here is what each label means:
ABS (with up/down arrow):
"ABS▼ 7b" = Absorption detected. Institutional players are absorbing selling
pressure at this level (likely accumulating). The "7b" means it held for 7 bars.
ABS▼ = absorbing sells (bullish). ABS▲ = absorbing buys (bearish).
FLOW (with arrow):
"FLOW↑" or "FLOW↓" = A flow shift happened here. The delta direction reversed,
meaning buyers took over from sellers or vice versa. This is a momentum change signal.
FAIL (with arrow):
"FAIL↑" or "FAIL↓" = A flow shift was detected but FAILED to confirm.
The reversal started but price did not follow through. Shown in orange.
Often means the opposing side absorbed the move.
INVAL / INVALID:
"INVAL" or "INVALID" = A previously confirmed flow shift was invalidated.
Price reversed back through the shift level, canceling the signal.
Shown in orange. Treat the original shift direction as no longer valid.
BULL EXH / BEAR EXH:
"BULL EXH" or "BEAR EXH" = Exhaustion zone. Extreme delta (above 65%) combined
with FADING volume. The dominant side pushed too hard and is running out of fuel.
Shown in gold. Often precedes a reversal. Higher delta + lower volume = more exhausted.
IMBALANCE RATIO (number:1):
"4:1" = The ratio of buy volume to sell volume (or vice versa) at this bin.
A 4:1 ratio means one side has 4x the volume of the other.
Only shown when the imbalance exceeds the configured threshold.
ICE:
"ICE" = Iceberg order detected in this bin. High volume traded but price barely
moved, suggesting a large hidden order was absorbing all the activity.
CONFL / CONF+ / CONF-:
Confluence detected. Multiple signals (structure + order flow) agree on direction.
CONF+ = bullish confluence. CONF- = bearish confluence.
CONFLICT:
Structure says one thing, order flow says another. Be cautious.
STK (with multiplier):
"STK x3" = Imbalance stack. Three or more consecutive bins all lean the same
direction. Shows institutional pressure building across multiple price levels.
OB (with arrow):
"OB↑" or "OB↓" = This bin overlaps with an active Order Block (see section 6).
FVG (with arrow):
"FVG↑" or "FVG↓" = This bin overlaps with an active Fair Value Gap (see section 7).
"uFVG↑" or "uFVG↓" = Same but for a micro-level FVG (smaller gap detected
within the profile structure rather than on-chart candle gaps).
uSR:
Micro structure level. A price level that has been tested multiple times with
high volume -- acts as local support or resistance.
EQUILIBRIUM / BULL ATK / BEAR DEF / etc:
Context labels that describe the state of the bin:
- EQUILIBRIUM = balanced buyers and sellers
- BULL ATK = buyers attacking with increasing volume
- BULL DEF = buyers holding but volume fading
- BEAR ATK = sellers attacking with increasing volume
- BEAR DEF = sellers holding but volume fading
CONFIDENCE SCORE (number at end of label):
Example: "ABS▼ CONFL "
The number in brackets is a confidence score from 0-100.
Higher = more signals agreeing. Above 70 is strong.
DWELL TIME:
"8d" at the end means price spent 8 bars dwelling at this level.
More time at a level = stronger support/resistance.
=====================================
4. ARROWS ON PROFILE BINS
=====================================
Small arrows may appear to the right of profile bars:
DELTA ARROWS (>> or ^^):
Show if buying/selling pressure is accelerating or decelerating.
">>" pointing up = bullish momentum gaining speed
">>" pointing down = bearish momentum gaining speed
VOLUME ARROWS:
Show if volume is increasing or decreasing at each level.
Up arrow = volume building. Down arrow = volume fading.
VELOCITY BANDS:
Small colored boxes to the right of the profile.
Green = volume accelerating. Red = volume decelerating.
Only appears on high-volume bins.
=====================================
5. CVD LINE (curved line inside the profile)
=====================================
The colored line running through the profile area is the CVD
(Cumulative Volume Delta) line.
It tracks the running total of buy volume minus sell volume across the session.
- Line going UP = buyers accumulating over time
- Line going DOWN = sellers accumulating over time
HOW THE LINE COLOR WORKS:
The line color is NOT random. It checks the CVD value against 5 moving averages
(EMA 8, 13, 21, 34, and 55). Each EMA that CVD is ABOVE scores +1. Each EMA
that CVD is BELOW scores -1. The total score (-5 to +5) sets the color:
+5 (above ALL 5 EMAs) = deep forest green -- strong bullish momentum
+3 to +4 = bright green -- solid bullish
+1 to +2 = light green -- lean bullish
0 = gray -- neutral, no clear direction
-1 to -2 = light red -- lean bearish
-3 to -4 = bright red -- solid bearish
-5 (below ALL 5 EMAs) = deep dark red -- strong bearish momentum
In practice: when the line shifts from red to green, it means CVD has crossed
above its moving averages -- buying pressure is accelerating. When green turns
red, selling pressure is taking over. A gray section means CVD is choppy and
sitting between its averages with no conviction.
CVD LABEL (at the right end of the line):
"CVD +1.2K +5"
First number = raw CVD value (+1,200 net buy volume)
Second number = confirmation count (+5 means 5 consecutive bars where the
adaptive reset system confirmed the bullish direction)
The label color uses a separate gradient based on the confirmation count:
Deep green = many consecutive bullish confirmations
Deep red = many consecutive bearish confirmations
Yellow/gray = few or mixed confirmations
=====================================
6. ORDER BLOCKS (OBs) - colored boxes on candles
=====================================
Order Blocks are zones where institutions placed large orders.
They appear as colored boxes around groups of candles.
ACTIVE OBs (not yet tested):
- Green/teal box = bullish OB (expect support when price returns)
- Red box = bearish OB (expect resistance when price returns)
- Solid fill, extends rightward from the origin candles
BROKEN OBs (breakers):
- Same colors but with a transparent fill and border outline only
- A bullish OB becomes a breaker when price closes below its bottom
- A bearish OB becomes a breaker when price closes above its top
- Once broken, the OB flips role: old support becomes resistance and vice versa
- A dotted midline shows the 50% level of the broken OB
- If price then closes through the breaker in the new direction, it is removed entirely
Two detection methods run simultaneously:
- Fast: simple 3-bar pivot swings for reactive OBs near current price
- Deep: ICS-style fractal depth swings for structural OBs from further back
The "Detection Depth" setting controls the fractal depth (Short/Intermediate/Long Term).
=====================================
7. FAIR VALUE GAPS (FVGs) - striped zones on candles
=====================================
FVGs are gaps in the price action where one side (buyers or sellers) was so
dominant that price skipped over a range. Price tends to come back and fill these gaps.
They appear as small striped/hatched boxes at the gap location.
- Purple-ish stripes = the gap zone
- Each individual stripe is deleted when price crosses through its midpoint,
so the gap visually erodes from the inside out as price fills it
- After 21 bars, remaining unfilled stripes fade to show the gap is aging
- Once every stripe is filled, the FVG is fully removed from the chart
- Maximum 30 FVGs tracked at once (oldest removed first if exceeded)
=====================================
8. MULTI-TIMEFRAME BOXES (2m / 5m / 15m)
=====================================
Colored boxes extending behind and slightly ahead of the current candles.
These show FVGs and Order Blocks detected on HIGHER timeframes (2-minute,
5-minute, 15-minute charts) projected onto your 1-minute chart.
HOW TO TELL THEM APART:
Border style:
- Dashed border = FVG (Fair Value Gap)
- Solid border = OB (Order Block)
Thickness and length:
- Thin border, extends 20 bars back = 2-minute timeframe
- Thin border, extends 30 bars back = 5-minute timeframe
- Thick border, extends 50 bars back = 15-minute timeframe
Color:
- Cyan/teal = bullish (expect support)
- Orange = bearish (expect resistance)
When your 1-minute price touches a higher-timeframe structure, it carries
more weight because institutions watch those levels.
=====================================
9. PREDICTIVE CONFLUENCE ZONES (projected boxes)
=====================================
These are the "ZONE S x3" and "ZONE R x2" boxes that project AHEAD of current price
(to the right of the last candle).
They appear when multiple structures from different sources cluster at the
same price area:
- 1m Order Blocks + 1m FVGs + 2m structures + 5m structures + 15m structures
The system scans all unmitigated levels, finds where they overlap, and projects
a high-probability reaction zone.
"ZONE S x3" = Support zone, 3 structures converge here (green box)
"ZONE R x2" = Resistance zone, 2 structures converge here (red box)
Higher count = stronger zone. These are the highest-conviction levels on the chart.
=====================================
10. SIGNAL LABELS ON CANDLES
=====================================
These labels appear directly on or near candles when specific conditions are met:
SWEEP LABELS (cyan/magenta bubbles):
Example: "VA High 8"
A liquidity sweep happened -- price wicked past a key level and reversed.
The name shows which level was swept. The number is a quality score.
Higher score = more reliable sweep. Cyan = bullish sweep. Magenta = bearish.
ICE (cyan/red squares):
Small squares below (bull) or above (bear) candles.
"ICE 2.3x" = Iceberg order detected. Volume was 2.3x average but price
barely moved. A hidden large order was absorbing all activity.
COILED:
"COILED " = Price has been compressing (low volatility) for 4 bars
while sitting near a wall of support/resistance. Like a spring ready to release.
Green = bullish coil (expect breakout up). Red = bearish coil (expect breakdown).
!!SR (with arrow and count):
"!!SR 5x" = A wall of 5 micro-structure levels stacked at this price.
Strong support (arrow down, green) or resistance (arrow up, red).
CVD DIV:
"CVD DIV (up arrow)" = Bullish CVD divergence. Price is making lower lows but CVD
is improving -- hidden buying.
"CVD DIV (down arrow)" = Bearish CVD divergence. Price making higher highs but CVD
declining -- hidden selling.
VA BREAK:
"VA BREAK (up arrow)" or "VA BREAK (down arrow)" = Price just broke out of the Value Area.
A thick green or red line extends forward showing the breakout level.
This is a high-momentum signal.
VOLUME SPIKE:
"x3.2" = Volume on this candle is 3.2x the average. Shows in magenta above the candle.
REJECT:
"REJECT (arrow)" = Price momentum is pushing into a wall of support or resistance.
Warns of a potential rejection/reversal at that wall.
=====================================
11. SEQUENCE PATTERNS (triangles)
=====================================
These track a full institutional flow sequence through 4 stages:
1. ABSORPTION = institution absorbs orders at a level
2. FLOW SHIFT = delta reverses confirming direction
3. SWEEP = liquidity grab confirms intent
4. BREAKOUT = Value Area breakout completes the pattern
PROGRESS LABELS (small, during build-up):
"SEQ:SHIFT" or "SEQ:SWEEP" = Sequence is building, currently at that stage.
COMPLETED SEQUENCE (large triangle + label):
Hot pink triangle (up or down) with "SEQ BULL " or "SEQ BEAR ".
The number is the sequence score. This is the highest-confidence signal in DSMS.
A full 4-stage institutional sequence just completed.
=====================================
12. CANDLE TECH (colored candle borders)
=====================================
Certain candles get a colored border and a small label:
- Green border = bullish pattern detected (hammer, bullish engulfing, etc.)
- Red border = bearish pattern detected (shooting star, bearish engulfing, etc.)
The label shows:
"R 5" = Reversal pattern, score 5
"(up arrow) 3" = Continuation pattern, score 3
Higher score = more confirming factors (CVD alignment, volume surge, trend direction).
Thicker border = stronger pattern.
=====================================
13. LIQUIDITY VOID LINES
=====================================
Yellow dashed horizontal lines extending left from the profile.
These mark price levels with very low volume -- gaps where price moved
through quickly without much trading. When price returns to these levels,
it tends to move through them fast again or react sharply.
=====================================
14. STATE OF THE ARENA TABLE (corner dashboard)
=====================================
The table in the corner of the chart is the real-time scoring dashboard.
It combines all signals into one weighted score from -100 (max bearish) to +100 (max bullish).
HEADER ROW:
Shows the overall market state and final score.
States: BREAKOUT, TRENDING, COMPRESSED, CONTESTED, or NEUTRAL.
COMPONENT ROWS (each scored -100 to +100, weighted into final score):
Delta Flow (10%) -- raw buying vs selling pressure on current bar
CVD Flow (10%) -- cumulative volume delta trend and EMA band position
Flow Shift (9%) -- recent delta direction reversals
Absorption (9%) -- institutional stop hunt detection
Sequence (8%) -- institutional flow sequence progress
Confluence (7%) -- structural + psychological signal agreement
OB/FVG (7%) -- nearest order block or gap bias
Sweep (7%) -- recent liquidity grab signals
MTF (6%) -- multi-timeframe alignment (2m/5m/15m)
Volume (6%) -- spike detection
Walls (6%) -- support/resistance cluster strength
Accel (5%) -- delta acceleration (2nd derivative of momentum)
Iceberg (4%) -- hidden institutional order detection
Candle (3%) -- pattern recognition score
POC Shift (3%) -- value area migration direction
The final score is the weighted sum, clamped to -100 to +100.
70+ or below -70 = STRONG conviction
40-69 = MEDIUM conviction
15-39 = WEAK conviction
Below 15 = no clear direction
Each row shows a text status, numeric score, and a visual bar made of blocks.
Green blocks = bullish. Red blocks = bearish. More blocks = stronger signal.
SIGNAL SECTION (bottom of table):
Shows the single highest-priority actionable signal right now.
"Key" = what the signal is based on
"Action" = suggested stance (BUY / SELL / HOLD / CAUTION)
"Watch" = what to watch for next
=====================================

1. THE VOLUME PROFILE (left side of chart)
=====================================
The colored horizontal bars extending left from the candles are the volume profile.
Each bar represents a price level (called a "bin") and shows how much volume traded there.
LONGER BAR = more volume at that price.
BAR COLOR tells you who is in control:
- Green/teal bar = buyers dominated that level (bullish delta)
- Red/orange bar = sellers dominated that level (bearish delta)
- The more intense the color, the stronger the imbalance
SPLIT BARS (bull/bear breakdown):
If enabled, each bar splits into two halves showing exact buy vs sell volume.
Top half = sell volume, bottom half = buy volume.
HEATMAP (wide faded bars behind the profile):
The large transparent boxes behind the profile bars are the heatmap.
They show the same delta information but stretched wider for quick visual scanning.
Bright = high conviction. Faded = low conviction.
=====================================
2. KEY PRICE LEVELS ON THE PROFILE
=====================================
POC (Point of Control):
The bin outlined with a bright border is the POC -- the single price level
with the MOST volume. Price tends to gravitate back to the POC.
A small label shows the POC price and context like "EQUILIBRIUM" or "BULL ATK".
POC FLASH LINE:
A short dashed cyan line appears at the POC when a bounce is detected.
Trigger conditions: price is at the POC, the current candle is bullish after
a bearish candle, and volume is at least 1.2x average. This signals that
the POC is acting as active support and price is reacting to it in real time.
VA HIGH / VA LOW (Value Area lines):
Two horizontal lines mark the top and bottom of the Value Area -- the price range
where approximately 70% of volume traded. These act as support and resistance.
- VA High = resistance when price is below, breakout level when price pushes above
- VA Low = support when price is above, breakdown level when price drops below
When a breakout happens, the line turns green (up) or red (down) and gets thicker.
=====================================
3. LABELS ON PROFILE BINS
=====================================
Each profile bin can show a small text label. These describe what is happening
at that specific price level. Here is what each label means:
ABS (with up/down arrow):
"ABS▼ 7b" = Absorption detected. Institutional players are absorbing selling
pressure at this level (likely accumulating). The "7b" means it held for 7 bars.
ABS▼ = absorbing sells (bullish). ABS▲ = absorbing buys (bearish).
FLOW (with arrow):
"FLOW↑" or "FLOW↓" = A flow shift happened here. The delta direction reversed,
meaning buyers took over from sellers or vice versa. This is a momentum change signal.
FAIL (with arrow):
"FAIL↑" or "FAIL↓" = A flow shift was detected but FAILED to confirm.
The reversal started but price did not follow through. Shown in orange.
Often means the opposing side absorbed the move.
INVAL / INVALID:
"INVAL" or "INVALID" = A previously confirmed flow shift was invalidated.
Price reversed back through the shift level, canceling the signal.
Shown in orange. Treat the original shift direction as no longer valid.
BULL EXH / BEAR EXH:
"BULL EXH" or "BEAR EXH" = Exhaustion zone. Extreme delta (above 65%) combined
with FADING volume. The dominant side pushed too hard and is running out of fuel.
Shown in gold. Often precedes a reversal. Higher delta + lower volume = more exhausted.
IMBALANCE RATIO (number:1):
"4:1" = The ratio of buy volume to sell volume (or vice versa) at this bin.
A 4:1 ratio means one side has 4x the volume of the other.
Only shown when the imbalance exceeds the configured threshold.
ICE:
"ICE" = Iceberg order detected in this bin. High volume traded but price barely
moved, suggesting a large hidden order was absorbing all the activity.
CONFL / CONF+ / CONF-:
Confluence detected. Multiple signals (structure + order flow) agree on direction.
CONF+ = bullish confluence. CONF- = bearish confluence.
CONFLICT:
Structure says one thing, order flow says another. Be cautious.
STK (with multiplier):
"STK x3" = Imbalance stack. Three or more consecutive bins all lean the same
direction. Shows institutional pressure building across multiple price levels.
OB (with arrow):
"OB↑" or "OB↓" = This bin overlaps with an active Order Block (see section 6).
FVG (with arrow):
"FVG↑" or "FVG↓" = This bin overlaps with an active Fair Value Gap (see section 7).
"uFVG↑" or "uFVG↓" = Same but for a micro-level FVG (smaller gap detected
within the profile structure rather than on-chart candle gaps).
uSR:
Micro structure level. A price level that has been tested multiple times with
high volume -- acts as local support or resistance.
EQUILIBRIUM / BULL ATK / BEAR DEF / etc:
Context labels that describe the state of the bin:
- EQUILIBRIUM = balanced buyers and sellers
- BULL ATK = buyers attacking with increasing volume
- BULL DEF = buyers holding but volume fading
- BEAR ATK = sellers attacking with increasing volume
- BEAR DEF = sellers holding but volume fading
CONFIDENCE SCORE (number at end of label):
Example: "ABS▼ CONFL "
The number in brackets is a confidence score from 0-100.
Higher = more signals agreeing. Above 70 is strong.
DWELL TIME:
"8d" at the end means price spent 8 bars dwelling at this level.
More time at a level = stronger support/resistance.
=====================================
4. ARROWS ON PROFILE BINS
=====================================
Small arrows may appear to the right of profile bars:
DELTA ARROWS (^^):
Show if buying/selling pressure is accelerating or decelerating.
pointing up = bullish momentum gaining speed
pointing down = bearish momentum gaining speed
VOLUME ARROWS:
Show if volume is increasing or decreasing at each level.
Up arrow = volume building. Down arrow = volume fading.
VELOCITY BANDS:
Small colored boxes to the right of the profile.
Green = volume accelerating. Red = volume decelerating.
Only appears on high-volume bins.
=====================================
5. CVD LINE (curved line inside the profile)
=====================================
The colored line running through the profile area is the CVD
(Cumulative Volume Delta) line.
It tracks the running total of buy volume minus sell volume across the session.
- Line going UP = buyers accumulating over time
- Line going DOWN = sellers accumulating over time
HOW THE LINE COLOR WORKS:
The line color is NOT random. It checks the CVD value against 5 moving averages
(EMA 8, 13, 21, 34, and 55). Each EMA that CVD is ABOVE scores +1. Each EMA
that CVD is BELOW scores -1. The total score (-5 to +5) sets the color:
+5 (above ALL 5 EMAs) = deep forest green -- strong bullish momentum
+3 to +4 = bright green -- solid bullish
+1 to +2 = light green -- lean bullish
0 = gray -- neutral, no clear direction
-1 to -2 = light red -- lean bearish
-3 to -4 = bright red -- solid bearish
-5 (below ALL 5 EMAs) = deep dark red -- strong bearish momentum
In practice: when the line shifts from red to green, it means CVD has crossed
above its moving averages -- buying pressure is accelerating. When green turns
red, selling pressure is taking over. A gray section means CVD is choppy and
sitting between its averages with no conviction.
CVD LABEL (at the right end of the line):
"CVD +1.2K +5"
First number = raw CVD value (+1,200 net buy volume)
Second number = confirmation count (+5 means 5 consecutive bars where the
adaptive reset system confirmed the bullish direction)
The label color uses a separate gradient based on the confirmation count:
Deep green = many consecutive bullish confirmations
Deep red = many consecutive bearish confirmations
Yellow/gray = few or mixed confirmations
=====================================
6. ORDER BLOCKS (OBs) - colored boxes on candles
=====================================
Order Blocks are zones where institutions placed large orders.
They appear as colored boxes around groups of candles.
ACTIVE OBs (not yet tested):
- Green/teal box = bullish OB (expect support when price returns)
- Red box = bearish OB (expect resistance when price returns)
- Solid fill, extends rightward from the origin candles
BROKEN OBs (breakers):
- Same colors but with a transparent fill and border outline only
- A bullish OB becomes a breaker when price closes below its bottom
- A bearish OB becomes a breaker when price closes above its top
- Once broken, the OB flips role: old support becomes resistance and vice versa
- A dotted midline shows the 50% level of the broken OB
- If price then closes through the breaker in the new direction, it is removed entirely
Two detection methods run simultaneously:
- Fast: simple 3-bar pivot swings for reactive OBs near current price
- Deep: ICS-style fractal depth swings for structural OBs from further back
The "Detection Depth" setting controls the fractal depth (Short/Intermediate/Long Term).
=====================================
7. FAIR VALUE GAPS (FVGs) - striped zones on candles
=====================================
FVGs are gaps in the price action where one side (buyers or sellers) was so
dominant that price skipped over a range. Price tends to come back and fill these gaps.
They appear as small striped/hatched boxes at the gap location.
- Purple-ish stripes = the gap zone
- Each individual stripe is deleted when price crosses through its midpoint,
so the gap visually erodes from the inside out as price fills it
- After 21 bars, remaining unfilled stripes fade to show the gap is aging
- Once every stripe is filled, the FVG is fully removed from the chart
- Maximum 30 FVGs tracked at once (oldest removed first if exceeded)
=====================================
8. MULTI-TIMEFRAME BOXES (2m / 5m / 15m)
=====================================
Colored boxes extending behind and slightly ahead of the current candles.
These show FVGs and Order Blocks detected on HIGHER timeframes (2-minute,
5-minute, 15-minute charts) projected onto your 1-minute chart.
HOW TO TELL THEM APART:
Border style:
- Dashed border = FVG (Fair Value Gap)
- Solid border = OB (Order Block)
Thickness and length:
- Thin border, extends 20 bars back = 2-minute timeframe
- Thin border, extends 30 bars back = 5-minute timeframe
- Thick border, extends 50 bars back = 15-minute timeframe
Color:
- Cyan/teal = bullish (expect support)
- Orange = bearish (expect resistance)
When your 1-minute price touches a higher-timeframe structure, it carries
more weight because institutions watch those levels.
=====================================
9. PREDICTIVE CONFLUENCE ZONES (projected boxes)
=====================================
These are the "ZONE S x3" and "ZONE R x2" boxes that project AHEAD of current price
(to the right of the last candle).
They appear when multiple structures from different sources cluster at the
same price area:
- 1m Order Blocks + 1m FVGs + 2m structures + 5m structures + 15m structures
The system scans all unmitigated levels, finds where they overlap, and projects
a high-probability reaction zone.
"ZONE S x3" = Support zone, 3 structures converge here (green box)
"ZONE R x2" = Resistance zone, 2 structures converge here (red box)
Higher count = stronger zone. These are the highest-conviction levels on the chart.
=====================================
10. SIGNAL LABELS ON CANDLES
=====================================
These labels appear directly on or near candles when specific conditions are met:
SWEEP LABELS (cyan/magenta bubbles):
Example: "VA High 8"
A liquidity sweep happened -- price wicked past a key level and reversed.
The name shows which level was swept. The number is a quality score.
Higher score = more reliable sweep. Cyan = bullish sweep. Magenta = bearish.
ICE (cyan/red squares):
Small squares below (bull) or above (bear) candles.
"ICE 2.3x" = Iceberg order detected. Volume was 2.3x average but price
barely moved. A hidden large order was absorbing all activity.
COILED:
"COILED " = Price has been compressing (low volatility) for 4 bars
while sitting near a wall of support/resistance. Like a spring ready to release.
Green = bullish coil (expect breakout up). Red = bearish coil (expect breakdown).
!!SR (with arrow and count):
"!!SR 5x" = A wall of 5 micro-structure levels stacked at this price.
Strong support (arrow down, green) or resistance (arrow up, red).
CVD DIV:
"CVD DIV (up arrow)" = Bullish CVD divergence. Price is making lower lows but CVD
is improving -- hidden buying.
"CVD DIV (down arrow)" = Bearish CVD divergence. Price making higher highs but CVD
declining -- hidden selling.
VA BREAK:
"VA BREAK (up arrow)" or "VA BREAK (down arrow)" = Price just broke out of the Value Area.
A thick green or red line extends forward showing the breakout level.
This is a high-momentum signal.
VOLUME SPIKE:
"x3.2" = Volume on this candle is 3.2x the average. Shows in magenta above the candle.
REJECT:
"REJECT (arrow)" = Price momentum is pushing into a wall of support or resistance.
Warns of a potential rejection/reversal at that wall.
=====================================
11. SEQUENCE PATTERNS (triangles)
=====================================
These track a full institutional flow sequence through 4 stages:
1. ABSORPTION = institution absorbs orders at a level
2. FLOW SHIFT = delta reverses confirming direction
3. SWEEP = liquidity grab confirms intent
4. BREAKOUT = Value Area breakout completes the pattern
PROGRESS LABELS (small, during build-up):
"SEQ:SHIFT" or "SEQ:SWEEP" = Sequence is building, currently at that stage.
COMPLETED SEQUENCE (large triangle + label):
Hot pink triangle (up or down) with "SEQ BULL " or "SEQ BEAR ".
The number is the sequence score. This is the highest-confidence signal in DSMS.
A full 4-stage institutional sequence just completed.
=====================================
12. CANDLE TECH (colored candle borders)
=====================================
Certain candles get a colored border and a small label:
- Green border = bullish pattern detected (hammer, bullish engulfing, etc.)
- Red border = bearish pattern detected (shooting star, bearish engulfing, etc.)
The label shows:
"R 5" = Reversal pattern, score 5
"(up arrow) 3" = Continuation pattern, score 3
Higher score = more confirming factors (CVD alignment, volume surge, trend direction).
Thicker border = stronger pattern.
=====================================
13. LIQUIDITY VOID LINES
=====================================
Yellow dashed horizontal lines extending left from the profile.
These mark price levels with very low volume -- gaps where price moved
through quickly without much trading. When price returns to these levels,
it tends to move through them fast again or react sharply.
=====================================
14. STATE OF THE ARENA TABLE (corner dashboard)
=====================================
The table in the corner of the chart is the real-time scoring dashboard.
It combines all signals into one weighted score from -100 (max bearish) to +100 (max bullish).
HEADER ROW:
Shows the overall market state and final score.
States: BREAKOUT, TRENDING, COMPRESSED, CONTESTED, or NEUTRAL.
COMPONENT ROWS (each scored -100 to +100, weighted into final score):
Delta Flow (10%) -- raw buying vs selling pressure on current bar
CVD Flow (10%) -- cumulative volume delta trend and EMA band position
Flow Shift (9%) -- recent delta direction reversals
Absorption (9%) -- institutional stop hunt detection
Sequence (8%) -- institutional flow sequence progress
Confluence (7%) -- structural + psychological signal agreement
OB/FVG (7%) -- nearest order block or gap bias
Sweep (7%) -- recent liquidity grab signals
MTF (6%) -- multi-timeframe alignment (2m/5m/15m)
Volume (6%) -- spike detection
Walls (6%) -- support/resistance cluster strength
Accel (5%) -- delta acceleration (2nd derivative of momentum)
Iceberg (4%) -- hidden institutional order detection
Candle (3%) -- pattern recognition score
POC Shift (3%) -- value area migration direction
The final score is the weighted sum, clamped to -100 to +100.
70+ or below -70 = STRONG conviction
40-69 = MEDIUM conviction
15-39 = WEAK conviction
Below 15 = no clear direction
Each row shows a text status, numeric score, and a visual bar made of blocks.
Green blocks = bullish. Red blocks = bearish. More blocks = stronger signal.
SIGNAL SECTION (bottom of table):
Shows the single highest-priority actionable signal right now.
"Key" = what the signal is based on
"Action" = suggested stance (BUY / SELL / HOLD / CAUTION)
"Watch" = what to watch for next

Quantum Tick-Time Nexus | Professional Analysis System |QTTN ProQuantum Tick-Time Nexus | Professional Analysis System (QTTN Pro)
An all-in-one volume-price analysis indicator that approximates tick-level market microstructure data using standard OHLCV candle data. It combines participation density mapping, delta approximation, liquidity flow tracking, absorption pattern detection, VWAP studies, and smart price levels into a single, fully customizable overlay.
🔍 WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES
Most retail traders only have access to standard candle data (open, high, low, close, volume). Institutional-grade tools like footprint charts, real tick data, and order flow require expensive data feeds. This indicator bridges that gap by approximating tick-level insights from the data you already have.
It does NOT claim to replicate actual tick data. It uses statistical proxies — volume ratios, price-range relationships, candle anatomy, and z-scores — to estimate what is likely happening beneath the surface of each candle.
📦 MODULES INCLUDED
1 — Tick Approximation
Estimates relative trading activity per bar compared to recent history. A reading of 2.0x means roughly twice the estimated activity of the recent average. Four calculation methods are available: Volume-Weighted, Trade Density, Participation Index, and Hybrid Quantum (a composite of the other three).
2 — Participation Density Heatmap
Colors candles or the chart background based on how active a bar is relative to its recent history, using a z-score of combined volume and range. Hot colors mean statistically elevated activity. Cold colors mean quiet conditions. Choose from Colored Candles, Background Zones, Gradient Boxes, or Glow Effect display styles.
3 — Micro-Momentum Oscillator
A smoothed EMA of bar-to-bar price change, designed to detect subtle shifts in directional pressure before they show up on traditional momentum indicators. Includes automatic bullish and bearish divergence detection — flagged when price makes a new extreme but momentum does not confirm it.
4 — Volume Delta Approximation
Estimates net buying vs. selling pressure without bid/ask data. Four methods available: Price-Volume Correlation (uses candle direction and range), Candle Body Ratio (body size relative to range), High-Low Skew (where the close sits within the bar's range), and Composite Index (blends all three). Includes cumulative delta tracking and imbalance zone highlighting.
5 — Activity Regime Detection
Classifies the current market environment as HIGH, NORMAL, or LOW activity using a rolling average of combined volume and range ratios. Background coloring and boundary markers show exactly when the regime shifts. Useful for adjusting your trading approach — trend-following in high regimes, mean-reversion in low regimes.
6 — Liquidity Flow Visualization
Tracks the directional flow of volume-weighted price movement. Flow ribbons expand and contract around price to show where liquidity is pushing. Liquidity Pool markers flag bars where flow is statistically extreme (potential areas of institutional activity). Direction arrows show the prevailing flow.
7 — Absorption Pattern Detection
Flags candles that show signs of large orders absorbing selling or buying pressure: high volume combined with a small candle body and a disproportionately long wick. These patterns often precede reversals. Customizable sensitivity, body ratio threshold, and wick ratio let you dial in detection to your instrument and timeframe.
8 — VWAP Suite
Session VWAP with 2 standard deviation band pairs and a rolling Micro-VWAP. The session VWAP resets with each new session. The Micro-VWAP is a rolling volume-weighted average over a configurable lookback, useful for intraday mean-reversion setups. Band fills change color based on whether price is above or below VWAP.
9 — Smart Price Levels
Automatically plots approximate Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and dynamic support/resistance levels. POC is derived from volume-weighted moving average of price. VAH/VAL use volume-weighted highs and lows. Dynamic S/R tracks the rolling highest high and lowest low.
10 — Information Dashboard
A real-time panel (repositionable to any corner) showing all key readings at a glance: tick approximation, participation z-score, volume ratio, current regime, delta, cumulative delta, micro-momentum, liquidity flow, VWAP distance, absorption status, and divergence status.
⚙️ HOW TO SET IT UP
Step 1: Start with defaults. Add the indicator and look at your chart. Everything is enabled by default so you can see what each module does.
Step 2: Turn off what you don't need. Each module has its own "Enable" toggle. If your chart looks too busy, disable modules one at a time until you find your preferred combination. Most traders will want 2–4 modules active at once, not all 10.
Step 3: If your chart is lagging, enable Performance Mode under Master Controls. This disables labels, boxes, and background fills while keeping the core calculations and plot lines active.
Step 4: Pick a theme. Six built-in color themes are included (Quantum Dark, Solar Flare, Arctic Ice, Forest Depth, Sunset Ember, Midnight Violet), or choose Custom to use your own color palette.
Step 5: Tune sensitivity to your instrument. Volatile instruments (crypto, small caps) may need lower sensitivity values. Stable instruments (large-cap indices, bonds) may need higher values. The Sensitivity Multiplier under Tick Approximation and the various threshold settings under each module are your main tuning knobs.
📊 SUGGESTED MODULE COMBINATIONS
For Scalping / Intraday: Tick Approximation + Delta Approximation + Absorption Patterns + VWAP Suite. Focus on delta imbalances near VWAP bands and absorption signals for entries.
For Swing Trading: Activity Regime + Smart Levels + Liquidity Flow + Micro-Momentum. Use regime detection to know when the market is active enough to trade, levels for targets and stops, liquidity flow for directional bias.
For Volume Analysis: Participation Density + Delta Approximation + Liquidity Flow. Colored candles show when volume is elevated, delta shows who's in control, flow shows where the weight is moving.
For Reversal Hunting: Absorption Patterns + Micro-Momentum Divergence + Smart Levels. Look for absorption signals near POC/VAH/VAL with confirmed momentum divergence.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES AND LIMITATIONS
This indicator uses approximations, not actual tick or order flow data. The delta, tick, and liquidity readings are statistical estimates derived from OHLCV data. They are directionally useful but not precise.
VWAP resets are based on cumulative calculations from the start of the chart's loaded data, not from the session open. For true session VWAP, ensure your chart loads data starting from the session open.
Best timeframes: Works on all timeframes but is most informative on 1m to 1H for intraday analysis and 1H to 1D for swing analysis. On very high timeframes (Weekly, Monthly), the microstructure approximations become less meaningful.
Max drawing limits: TradingView limits labels, lines, and boxes to 500 each. On lower timeframes with long history, some older markers may be automatically removed. Performance Mode reduces drawing count significantly.
This is an analysis tool, not a signal generator. It does not paint buy/sell arrows for blind entry. It gives you context about what is happening inside the market so you can make better-informed decisions.
All alert conditions are built in and ready to use. Go to the Alerts panel in TradingView and select this indicator to configure notifications for regime changes, absorption signals, delta imbalances, divergences, volume spikes, and VWAP crosses.
