Liquidity composition / quantifytools- Overview
Liquidity composition divides each candle into sections that are used to display transaction activity at price. In simple terms, an X-ray through candle is formed, revealing the orderflow that built the candle in greater detail. Liquidity composition consists of two main components, lots and columns. Lots and columns can be used to visualize user specified volume types, currently supporting net volume and volume delta. Lots and columns can be used to visualize same or different volume types, allowing a combination of volume footprint, volume delta footprint and volume profile in one single view. Liquidity composition principally works on any chart, whether that is equities, currencies, cryptocurrencies or commodities, even charts with no volume data (in which case volatility is used to approximate transaction activity). The script also works on any timeframe, from minute charts to monthly charts. Orderflow can be observed in real-time as it develops and none of the indications are repainted.
Example: Displaying same volume types on lots and columns
Example: Displaying different volume types on lots and columns
Liquidity composition supports user specified derivative data, such as point of control(s) and net activity coloring. Derivative data can be calculated based on either net volume or volume delta, resulting in different highlights.
With net volume, volume delta and derivative data in one view, key orderflow events such as delta imbalances, high volume nodes, low volume nodes and point of controls can be used to quickly identify accumulation/distribution, imbalances, unfinished/finished auctions and trapped traders.

Disclaimer
Orderflow data is estimated using lower timeframe price movement. While accurate and useful, it's important to note the calculations are estimations and are not based on orderbook data. Estimates are calculated by allotting volume developing on lower timeframe chart to its respective section based on closing price. Volume delta (difference between buyers/sellers) is calculated by subtracting down move volumes (sell volume) from up move volumes (buy volume). Accuracy of the orderflow estimations largely depends on quality of lower timeframe chart used for calculations, which is why this tool cannot be expected to work accurately on illiquid charts with broken data.
Liquidity composition does not provide a standalone trading strategy or financial advice. It also does not substitute knowing how to trade. Example charts and ideas shown for use cases are textbook examples under ideal conditions, not guaranteed to repeat as they are presented. Liquidity composition should be viewed as one tool providing one kind of evidence, to be used in conjunction with other means of analysis.

- Calculations
By default, size of sections and lower timeframe accuracy are automatically determined for all charts and timeframes. Number of lower timeframe price moves used for calculating orderflow is kept at fixed value, by default set to 350. Accuracy value dictates how many lower timeframe candles are included in the calculation of volume at price. At 350, the script will always use 350 lower timeframe price movements in calculations (when possible). When calculated dynamic timeframe is less than 1 minute, the script switches to available seconds based timeframes. Minimum dynamic timeframe can be capped to 1 minute (as seconds based timeframes are not available for all plans) or dynamic timeframe can be overridden using an user specified timeframe.
Example: Calculating dynamic lower timeframe
Main chart: 4H / 240 minutes
Accuracy value: 100
Formula: 240 minutes / 100 = 2.4 minutes
Timeframe used for calculations = 2 minutes
Section size is automatically determined based on typical historical candle range, the bigger it is, the bigger the section size as well. Like dynamic timeframe, automatic section size can be manually overridden by user specified size expressed in ticks (minimum price unit). Users can also adjust sensitivity of automatic sizing by setting it higher (smaller sections, more detail and more noise) or lower (less sections, less detail and less noise). Section size and dynamic timeframe can be monitored via metric table.
Volume at price is calculated by allotting volume associated with a lower timeframe price movement to its respective section based on closing price (volume is stored to the section that covers closing price). When used on a chart with no volume data, volatility is used instead to determine likely magnitude of participation. Volume delta (difference between buyers/sellers) is calculated by subtracting down move volumes (sell volume) from up move volumes (buy volume). Volumes accrued in sections are monitored over a longer period of time to determine a "normal" amount of activity, which is then used to normalize accrued volumes by benchmarking them against historical values.
Volume values displayed on the left side represent how close or far volume traded at given section is to an extreme, represented by value of 10 . The more value exceeds 10, the more extreme transaction activity is historically. The lesser the value, the less extreme (and therefore more typical) transaction activity is. Users can adjust sensitivity of volume extreme threshold, either by increasing it (more transaction activity is needed to constitute an extreme) or decreasing it (less transaction activity is needed to constitute an extreme).
Example: Interpreting volume scale
0 = Very little to no transaction activity compared to historical values
5 = Transaction activity equal to average historical values
10 = Transaction activity equal to an extreme in historical values
10+ = The more transaction activity exceeds value of 10, the more extreme it is historically
Accuracy of orderflow data largely depends on quality of lower timeframe data used in calculations. Sometimes quality of underlying lower timeframe data is insufficient due to suboptimal accuracy or broken lower timeframe data, usually caused by illiquid charts with gaps and inconsistent values. Therefore, one should always ensure the usage of most liquid chart available with no gaps in lower timeframe data. To combat poor orderflow data, a simple data quality check is conducted by calculating percentage of sections with volume data out of all available sections. Idea behind the test is to capture instances where unusual amount of sections are completely empty, most likely due to data gaps in LTF chart. E.g. 90% of sections hold some volume data, 10% are completely empty = 90% data quality score.
Data quality score should be viewed as a metric alerting when detail of underlying data is insufficient to consider accurate. When data quality score is slightly below threshold, lower timeframe chart used for calculations is likely fine, but accuracy value is too low. In this case, one should increase accuracy value or manually override used timeframe with a smaller one. When data quality score is well below threshold, lower timeframe chart used for calculations is likely broken and cannot be fixed. In this case, one should look for alternative charts with more reliable data (e.g. ES1! -> SPY, BITSTAMP:BTCUSD -> BINANCE:BTCUSDT).
Example : When insufficient data quality scores can/cannot be fixed
- Derivative data
Point of control
Point of control, referring to point in price where transaction activity is highest, can be calculated based on the volume type of lots or columns (based on net volume or volume delta). Depending on the calculation basis, displayed point of controls will vary. POC calculated based on net volume is no different from traditional POC, it is simply the section with highest amount of transaction activity, marked with an X. When calculating POC based on volume delta, the script will highlight two point of controls, named leading and losing point of control . Leading POC refers to lot with highest amount of volume delta, marked with an X. If leading POC was net buy volume, losing POC is marked on section with highest net sell volume, marked with S respectfully. Same logic applies in vice versa, if leading POC is net sell volume, losing POC is marked on highest buy volume section, using the letter B.
Net activity
Similarly to point of control calculation, net activity can be calculated based on either volume types, lots or columns. When calculating net activity based on net volume, candles will be colorized according to magnitude of total volume traded. When calculating net activity based on volume delta, candles will be colorized according to side with most volume traded (buyers or sellers). Net activity color can be applied on borders or body of a candle.
- Visuals
Lots, columns, candles and POCs can be colorized using a fixed color or a volume based dynamic color, with separate color options for buy side volume, sell side volume and net volume.
Metric table can be offsetted horizontally or vertically from any four corners of the chart, allowing space for tables from other scripts.
Table sizes, label sizes and offsets for visuals are fully customizable using settings menu.
- Practical guide
OHLC data (candles) is a simple condensed visualization of an auction market process. Candles show where price was in the beginning of an auction period (timeframe), the highest/lowest point and where price was at the end of an auction. The core utility of Liquidity composition is being able to view the same auction market process in much greater detail, revealing likely intention, effort and magnitude driving the process. All basic orderflow concepts, such as ones presented by auction market theory can be applied to Liquidity composition as well.
The most obvious and easy to spot use case for orderflow tools is identifying trapped traders/absorption, seen in high transaction activity at the very highs/lows of a candle or even better, at wicks. High participation at wicks can be used to identify forced orders absorbed into limit orders, idea behind being that when high transaction activity is placed at a wick, price went one direction with a lot of participation (high effort) and came right back up (low impact) within the same time period.
Absorption can show itself in many ways:
- Extreme buy volume sections at wick highs or buy side POC at wick highs
- Multiple, clustered high buy volume sections (but not extreme) at wick highs
- Positive net volume delta into a reversal down
- Extreme sell volume sections at wick lows or sell side POC at wick lows
- Multiple, clustered high sell volume sections (but not extreme) at wick lows
- Negative net volume delta into a reversal up
- Extreme net volume sections at or net volume POC at wick highs/lows
- Extreme net volume into a reversal up/down
For accurate analysis, orderflow based events should be viewed in the context of price action. To identify absorption, it's best to look for opportunities where an opposing trend is clearly in place, e.g. absorption into highs on an uptrend, absorption into lows on a downtrend. When price is ranging without a clear trend or there's no opposing trend, extreme activity at an extreme end of a candle might be aggressive participants attempting to initiate a new trend, rather than getting absorbed in the same sense. With enough effort put into pushing price to the opposite direction at overextended price, a shift in trend direction might be near.
Price action based levels are a great way to get context around orderflow events. Simple range highs/lows as a single data point serve as a high probability regimes for reversals, making them a great point of confluence for identifying trapped traders.
Low to zero volume sections can be used to identify points in price with little to no trading, leaving a volume null/void behind. Typically sections like these represent gaps on a lower timeframe chart, which can be used as reference levels for targets and support/resistance.
Net volume can be used for same purposes as above, but for determining general intention of market participants it's a much more suitable tool than volume delta. According to auction market theory, low/no participation is considered to reject prices and high participation is considered to accept prices. With this concept in mind, unfinished auctions occur when participation is high at highs or high at lows, idea behind being that participants are showing willingness and interest to trade at higher or lower prices. Auction is considered finished when the opposite is true, i.e. when participants are not showing willingness to trade at higher/lower prices. In general, direction of unfinished auctions can be expected to continue shortly and direction of unfinished auctions can be expected to hold.
While shape of volume delta and net volume are usually similar, they're not the same thing and do not represent the same event under the hood. Volume delta at 0 does not necessarily mean participation is 0, but can also mean high participation with equal amount of buying and selling. With this distinction in mind, using volume delta and net volume in tandem has the benefit of being able to identify points in price with a lot of up and down price movement packed into a small area, i.e. consolidation. Points in price where price hangs around for an extended period of time can be used to identify levels of interest for re-tests and breakout opportunities.

Swing Volume Profiles [LuxAlgo]The Swing Volume Profiles indicator aims to calculate and highlight trading activity at specific price levels between two swing points; allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels based on volume.
By measuring traded volume at all price levels in the market over a specified time period, the script can also be used to detect some key analysis generally such as supply & demand, buy-side & sell-side liquidity levels, unfilled liquidity voids, and imbalances that can highlight on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
A volume profile is an advanced charting tool that displays the traded volume at different price levels over a specific period. It helps you visualize where the majority of trading activity has occurred.
Key Levels are the areas where the volume is concentrated or where there are significant volume spikes. These levels are known as key support and resistance levels. High-volume nodes indicate areas of high activity and are likely to act as support or resistance in the future.
Volume profile also helps identify value areas, which represent the price levels where the most trading activity has taken place. These levels can act as areas of support or resistance as traders perceive them as fair value.
The Point of Control describes the price level where the most volume was traded. A Naked Point of Control (also called a Virgin Point of Control) is a previous POC that has not been traded. Extending PoC options 'Until Bar Cross' or 'Until Bar Touch' helps in identifying Naked Point of Control Lines.
Previous PoC levels can serve as support and resistance for future price movements. Extending PoC Level 'Until Last Bar' option will help to identify such levels.
🔶 DETAILS
One of the unique features of the script is its ability to detect some other key levels such as levels of acceptance and rejection.
Levels of rejection we may summarize as supply and demand levels, these are also referred to as buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels. They usually occur at extreme highs or lows, where prices may be too high for buyers (high supply, low demand) or too low for sellers (low supply, high demand)
Levels of acceptance are the levels where Liquidity Voids occur, these are also referred to imbalances. Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up, so we call them levels of acceptance.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case:
Point Of Control Line is touched/crossed
Value Area High Line is touched/crossed
Value Area Low Line is touched/crossed

Session Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework - TrendPredator OBSession Open Range, Breakout & Trap Framework — TrendPredator Open Box
Stacey Burke’s trading approach combines concepts from George Douglas Taylor, Tony Crabel, Steve Mauro, and Robert Schabacker. His framework focuses on reading price behaviour across daily templates and identifying how markets move through recurring cycles of expansion, contraction, and reversal. While effective, much of this analysis requires real-time interpretation of session-based behaviour, which can be demanding for traders working on lower intraday timeframes.
The TrendPredator indicators formalize parts of this methodology by introducing mechanical rules for multi-timeframe bias tracking and session structure analysis. They aim to present the key elements of the system—bias, breakouts, fakeouts, and range behaviour—in a consistent and objective way that reduces discretionary interpretation.
The Open Box indicator focuses specifically on the opening behaviour of major trading sessions. It builds on principles found in classical Open Range Breakout (ORB) techniques described by Tony Crabel, where a defined time window around the session open forms a structural reference range. Price behaviour relative to this range—breaking out, failing back inside, or expanding—can highlight developing session bias, potential trap formation, and directional conviction.
This indicator applies these concepts throughout the major equity sessions. It automatically maps the session’s initial range (“Open Box”) and tracks how price interacts with it as liquidity and volatility increase. It also incorporates related structural references such as:
* the first-hour high and low of the futures session
* the exact session open level
* an anchored VWAP starting at the session open
* automated expansion levels projected from the Open Box
In combination, these components provide a unified view of early session activity, including breakout attempts, fakeouts, VWAP reactions, and liquidity targeting. The Open Box offers a structured lens for observing how price transitions through the major sessions (Asia → London → New York) and how these behaviours relate to higher-timeframe bias defined in the broader TrendPredator framework.
Core Features
Open Box (Session Structure)
The indicator defines an initial session range beginning at the selected session open. This “Open Box” represents a fixed time window—commonly the first 30 minutes, or any user-defined duration—that serves as a structural reference for analysing early session behaviour.
The range highlights whether price remains inside the box, breaks out, or rejects the boundaries, providing a consistent foundation for interpreting early directional tendencies and recognising breakout, continuation, or fakeout characteristics.
How it works:
* At the session open, the indicator calculates the high and low over the specified time window.
* This range is plotted as the initial structure of the session.
* Price behaviour at the boundaries can illustrate emerging bias or potential trap formation.
* An optional secondary range (e.g., 15-minute high/low) can be enabled to capture early volatility with additional precision.
Inputs / Options:
* Session specifications (Tokyo, London, New York)
* Open Box start and end times (e.g., equity open + first 30 minutes, or any custom length)
* Open Box colour and label settings
* Formatting options for Open Box high and low lines
* Optional secondary range per session (e.g., 15-minute high/low)
* Forward extension of Open Box high/low lines
* Number of historic Open Boxes to display
Session VWAPs
The indicator plots VWAPs for each major trading session—Asia, London, and New York—anchored to their respective session opens. These session-specific VWAPs assist in tracking how value develops through the day and how price interacts with session-based volume distributions.
How it works:
* At each session open, a VWAP is anchored to the open price.
* The VWAP updates throughout the session as new volume and price data arrive.
* Deviations above or below the VWAP may indicate balance, imbalance, or directional control.
* Viewed together, session VWAPs help identify transitions in value across sessions.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable VWAP per session
* Adjustable anchor and end times (optionally to end of day)
* Line styling and label settings
* Number of historic VWAPs to draw
First Hour High/Low Extensions
The indicator marks the high and low formed during the first hour of each session. These reference points often function as early control levels and provide context for assessing whether the session is establishing bias, consolidating, or exhibiting reversal behaviour.
How it works:
* After the session starts, the indicator records the highest and lowest prices during the first hour.
* These levels are plotted and extended across the session.
* They provide a visual reference for observing reactions, targets, or rejection zones.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable for each session
* Line style, colour, and label visibility
* Number of historic sessions displayed
EQO Levels (Equity Open)
The indicator plots the opening price of each configured session. These “Equity Open” levels represent short-term reference points that can attract price early in the session.
Once the level is revisited after the Open Box has formed, it is automatically cut to avoid clutter. If not revisited, the line remains as an untested reference, similar to a naked point of control.
How it works:
* At session open, the open price is recorded.
* The level is plotted as a local reference.
* If price interacts with the level after the Open Box completes, the line is cut.
* Untested EQOs extend forward until interacted with.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Line style and label settings
* Optional extension into the next day
* Option for cutting vs. hiding on revisit
* Number of historic sessions displayed
OB Range Expansions (Automatic)
Range expansions are calculated from the height of the Open Box. These levels provide structured reference zones for identifying potential continuation or exhaustion areas within a session.
How it works:
* After the Open Box is formed, multiples of the range (e.g., 1×, 2×, 3×) are projected.
* These expansion levels are plotted above and below the range.
* Price reactions near these areas can illustrate continuation, hesitation, or potential reversal.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable or disable per session
* Select number of multiples
* Line style, colour, and label settings
* Extension length into the session
Stacey Burke 12-Candle Window Marker
The indicator can highlight the 12-candle window often referenced in Stacey Burke’s session methodology. This window represents the key active period of each session where breakout attempts, volatility shifts, and reversal signatures often occur.
How it works:
* A configurable window (default 12 candles) is highlighted from each session open.
* This window acts as a guide for observing active session behaviour.
* It remains visible throughout the session for structural context.
Inputs / Options:
* Enable/disable per session
* Configurable window duration (default: 3 hours)
* Colour and transparency controls
Concept and Integration
The Open Box is built around the same multi-timeframe logic that underpins the broader TrendPredator framework.
While higher-timeframe tools track bias and setups across the H8–D–W–M levels, the Open Box focuses on the H1–M30 domain to define session structure and observe how early intraday behaviour aligns with higher-timeframe conditions.
The indicator integrates with the TrendPredator FO (Breakout, Fakeout & Trend Switch Detector), which highlights microstructure signals on lower timeframes (M15/M5). Together they form a layered workflow:
* Higher timeframes: context, bias, and developing setups
* TrendPredator OB: intraday and intra-session structure
* TrendPredator FO: microstructure confirmation (e.g., FOL/FOH, switches)
This alignment provides a structured way to observe how daily directional context interacts with intraday behaviour.
See the public open source indicator TP FO here (click on it for access):
Practical Application
Before Session Open
* Review previous session Open Box, Open level, and VWAPs
* Assess how higher-timeframe bias aligns with potential intraday continuation or reversal
* Note untested EQO levels or VWAPs that may function as liquidity attractors
During Session Open
* Observe behaviour around the first-hour high/low and higher-timeframe reference levels
* Monitor how the M15 and 30-minute ranges close
* Track reactions relative to the session open level and the session VWAP
After the Open Box completes
* Assess price interaction with Open Box boundaries and first-hour levels
* Use microstructure signals (e.g., FOH/FOL, switches) for potential confirmation
* Refer to expansion levels as reference zones for management or target setting
After Session
* Review how price behaved relative to the Open Box, EQO levels, VWAPs, and expansion zones
* Analyse breakout attempts, fakeouts, and whether intraday structure aligned with the broader daily move
Example Workflow and Trade
1. Higher-timeframe analysis signals a Daily Fakeout Low Continuation (bullish context).
2. The New York session forms an Open Box; price breaks above and holds above the first-hour high.
3. A Fakeout Low + Switch Bar appears on M5 (via FO), after retesting the session VWAP triggering the entry.
4. 1x expansion level serves as reference targets for take profit.
Relation to the TrendPredator Ecosystem
The Open Box is part of the TrendPredator Indicator Family, designed to apply multi-timeframe logic consistently across:
* higher-timeframe context and setups
* intraday and session structure (OB)
* microstructure confirmation (FO)
Together, these modules offer a unified structure for analysing how daily and intraday cycles interact.

Price-Volume w Trendline - Strategy [presentTrading]█ Introduction and How it is Different
The Price-Volume with Trendline Strategy is an innovative strategy that combines volume profile analysis, price-based Z-scores, and dynamic trendline filtering to identify optimal entry and exit points in the market. What sets this strategy apart is the integration of volume concentration (Point of Control or PoC) with dynamic volatility thresholds. Additionally, this strategy introduces a multi-step take profit (TP) mechanism that adjusts based on predefined levels, allowing traders to exit trades progressively while capitalizing on market momentum.

█ Strategy, How it Works: Detailed Explanation
The combination of multiple indicators and methodologies serves to create a more robust and reliable trading system. Each element is carefully chosen for its complementary role in providing accurate signals while minimizing false entries and exits. Here’s why the different components were chosen and how they work together:
- PoC and Z-Scores: The volume profile identifies key price areas, while the Z-score measures deviations from the mean. Together, they highlight points where the market is likely to react. For example, when the Z-score indicates an oversold condition near a PoC support level, it increases the probability of a reversal, providing a clear entry signal.
- Trendlines and Z-Scores: Trendlines serve as a secondary filter to ensure that price deviations identified by Z-scores align with broader market trends. This ensures that trades are only entered when the price has both deviated from its average and broken through a significant trendline level, reducing the likelihood of false signals.
- Multi-Step TP and Risk Management: Finally, the multi-step take profit logic works in tandem with the entry signals generated by the PoC, Z-scores, and trendlines. As the price moves in favor of the trade, profits are gradually locked in, ensuring the trader captures gains while still leaving room for further upside.
🔶 Point of Control (PoC) and Volume Profile Analysis
The PoC identifies the price level with the highest volume concentration within a specified lookback period. This price level represents where the most trading activity has occurred, often acting as a strong support or resistance. By breaking down the range into several rows (bins), the strategy identifies how much volume was traded at each price level.
🔶 Z-Score Calculation
The Z-score is a statistical metric that measures how far the current price is from its mean, expressed in terms of standard deviations. This is calculated both for price deviation and PoC-based deviation.
🔶 Trendline Breakout Filtering
The trendline filtering is a crucial aspect that refines entry signals by confirming trend continuation or reversals. It calculates trendlines based on pivot highs and lows using the selected method (e.g., ATR or standard deviation).
🔶 Multi-Step Take Profit
The multi-step take profit mechanism allows the strategy to take partial profits at several predefined levels. For example, when the price reaches 3%, 8%, 14%, or 21% above (or below) the entry price, it exits portions of the position. This is a useful technique for locking in profits as the market moves favorably.

█ Usage
The Price-Volume with Trendline Strategy can be applied to various asset classes, including stocks, cryptocurrencies, and commodities. It is particularly effective in volatile markets where price deviations and volume concentrations signal potential reversals or trend continuations. By adjusting the settings for volatility and the lookback period, this strategy can be tailored to both short-term intraday trades and longer-term swing trades.
█ Default Settings
The default settings in the strategy play a vital role in shaping its performance.
- POC_lookbackLength (144): This defines the number of bars used to calculate the PoC. A longer lookback captures more data, leading to a more stable PoC, but may result in delayed signals. A shorter lookback increases responsiveness but may introduce noise.
- priceDeviationLength (200): This determines the period for calculating the standard deviation of price. A higher length smooths out the volatility, reducing the likelihood of false signals. Shorter lengths make the strategy more sensitive to sudden price movements.
- TL_length (14): Controls the swing detection period for trendline calculation. A shorter length will generate more frequent trendline breakouts, while a longer length captures only significant moves.
- Stop Loss and Take Profit: The strategy offers both fixed and SuperTrend-based stop losses. SuperTrend is adaptive to volatility, while fixed stop losses provide simpler risk control. The multi-step take profit ensures that profits are secured progressively, which can improve performance in trending markets by reducing the risk of full reversals.
Each of these settings can significantly affect the strategy’s risk-reward balance. For instance, increasing the stop loss level or the take profit percentages allows the strategy to stay in trades longer, potentially increasing profit per trade but at the cost of larger drawdowns. Conversely, tighter stops and smaller profit targets result in more frequent trades with lower average profit per trade.
TAS Float PCL + TAS Static PCL [TASMarketProfile]TAS PRICE COMPRESSION LEVELS (PCLs) includes 2 distinct indicators that use volume at price analysis, volume aggregation and multi-timeframe confluence to calculate and display significant levels of commercial interest above and below the market. These levels reveal reliable trading levels which can be leveraged for enhanced trade entries, trailing stops and targets.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF TAS PCLs:
TAS Float PCLs - These levels take into account new data flow throughout the trading session and expands or contracts the levels dynamically in accordance with changing market conditions. These are often referred to by traders as “Floaters” or “Dynamic PCLs.”
TAS Static PCLs - These levels are set upon the start of the trading session and remain intact throughout the duration of the session. Many traders These are often referred to by traders as “Statics.”
Both TAS Floaters and TAS Statics have up to 10 horizontal lines available to display. The four center lines are referred to as Points of Control (POC). Three of these lines are colored cyan and one is yellow. The yellow line is more prominent and referred to as the Master Point of Control (MPOC) of the Price Compression Levels on display. The first area of commercial suppor t and resistance are plotted with red lines on both sides of the POC lines and commonly referred to as S1 and R1 levels. The next level of support and resistance areas are designated by blue lines (S2 and R2 levels) and then lastly the farthest from the POC lines are the green lines (S3 and R3 levels). By default, typically the green lines are not displayed but can be activated on an “as needed” basis within the indicator Style settings.
EXAMPLE OF TAS FLOAT PCLs:
ABOUT TAS FLOAT PCLs:
The TAS Dynamic PCLs (Floaters) reveal the price areas that attract commercial interest based on the current market conditions.
How the PCLs are plotted can be adjusted with two inputs controlled by the user.
----------1) MinSignal_123: This setting controls the sensitivity of the calculations. The default is set to 1 and this represents the most sensitive input that makes it easiest for market conditions to trigger new PCL levels. A setting of 2 is considered “medium” sensitivity and lastly a setting of 3 would require the most substantial change in conditions to trigger an adjustment of PCLs on the chart.
----------2) Length: This input setting determines the number of bars of data included in the calculation for new TAS Float PCLs to be adjusted on the chart. The default is set to 8.
MORE ON INPUT SETTINGS:
Using higher values in both inputs will display more significant areas of commercial interest for higher probability support and resistance levels around PCLs. These are referred to as “slow” Floaters.
Using lower value inputs will create Floaters that are more responsive to market conditions. These are referred to as “fast” Floaters.
When fast Floaters are contracted (cover a narrow range of prices) the market is tightly balanced and can easily enter into breakout conditions, if price closes outside of the TAS Float PCLs.
Expanded Floaters that are wider apart provide for greater rotational range trading conditions.
BELOW ARE THE RECOMMENDED INPUT SETTINGS COMBINATIONS THAT WILL DICTATE HOW RESPONSIVE THE PCLs WILL REACT TO CONDITIONS:
FAST (default): 1 - 8
MEDIUM: 2 - 14
SLOW: 3 - 34
The user will typically choose to have either Statics or Float PCLs active on the chart at a time, but not both as you'll have up to 20 levels on your chart (too many). You can, however, put them on different panes. Visit the INPUT settings of the indicator to select which one you want active.
The user can change the coloring, line type and thickness in the STYLE settings.
ABOUT TAS STATIC PCLs:
Many traders opt for TAS Static PCLs because they prefer to know the significant commercial interest price areas before they trade.
Unlike Floaters, TAS Static levels will not change throughout the trading session and are only affected if the user changes the opening and closing time parameters for the trading session displayed. By default, Static levels will recalculate and display new levels upon the reopen of the next session.
Tightly compacted POC lines designate an area of particularly strong commercial interest that provides higher probability, lower risk entries for extended directional moves. These areas are often referred to as “walls.”
If the POC lines are spread out over a wider range, a trader should be on the lookout for a more rotational trading session.
Periodically, one of the POC lines may be plotted outside of a red line (S1 or R1). In this case, the market may be biased in the same direction that the POC line is in relation to the red line.
TAS PRICE COMPRESSION LEVELS can be used as a stand-alone trading guidance system or in conjunction with other popular TASMarketProfile indicators.
Trade Well My Friends!
Volume Matrix Pro [ChartNation]Volume Matrix Pro is a comprehensive volume profile indicator that combines delta-colored volume distribution analysis with adaptive pivot detection and automated volume node identification. The indicator visualizes where institutional volume accumulated at specific price levels, providing traders with precise entry zones backed by actual trading data.
KEY FEATURES:
Delta-Colored Volume Profile: Displays volume distribution across price bins with automatic delta coloring - green bins show buyer dominance, red bins show seller control at each price level
High Volume Nodes (HVN) Detection: Automatically identifies and marks price levels with ≥80% of POC volume using yellow diamond markers - these act as magnetic support/resistance zones where institutions built positions
Low Volume Nodes (LVN) Detection: Marks thin volume areas with gray diamond markers - zones where price moves quickly with minimal friction, ideal for breakout targets
Adaptive Smart Pivots: ATR-based pivot detection that automatically adjusts length based on market volatility - catches more swings in low volatility, filters to major reversals in high volatility
Point of Control (POC) Line: Identifies the price level with maximum traded volume - the market's center of gravity. Line colors by delta: green when buyers dominated, red when sellers controlled the level
Value Area Lines: Dotted lines marking the 70% value area (configurable 50-98%) with delta-based coloring showing cumulative buyer/seller pressure within the range
Circle Pivot Markers: Clean visual markers at confirmed pivot points with translucent horizontal lines extending to current bar
Extend-Until-Touch: Pivot lines automatically retract when price touches them, keeping charts clean and showing active levels only
Dual Profile Modes: Left-side profile (default) or right-pinned bars ahead of price with fully customizable width and padding
Volume-Filtered Pivots: Only displays pivots with significant volume backing (≥20% of POC by default) - institutional turning points, not noise
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator divides the lookback range (default 200 bars) into volume bins (default 50) and calculates total volume and delta (buying vs selling pressure) at each price level. Each bin is colored green if buyers dominated (close > open majority) or red if sellers controlled (close < open majority).
High Volume Nodes mark price levels where the most trading occurred - these become magnetic support/resistance zones. The Point of Control identifies the single price with maximum volume, acting as the market's gravitational center.
Smart Pivots use ATR to adapt to changing volatility, then filter against the volume profile. Only pivots with substantial volume backing are displayed, ensuring you see institutional turning points, not random noise.
RECOMMENDED SETTINGS:
Scalping (1-5 min): 100 lookback bars, 40 bins, 5-7 pivot length
Day Trading (15 min - 1 hour): 200 lookback bars, 50 bins, 10 pivot length (default)
Swing Trading (4 hour - Daily): 300-500 lookback bars, 60 bins, 15-20 pivot length
USAGE TIPS:
Enter long when price touches green HVN zones with adaptive pivot confirmation
Enter short when price reaches red HVN zones with pivot confirmation
Use POC as first target when entering below it, or as support backup when entering above
Watch for LVN zones as potential breakout acceleration areas
Combine green delta bins + HVN + pivot for highest-probability setups
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT:
Unlike traditional volume profiles, Volume Matrix Pro colors each bin individually by delta, giving granular insight into buyer/seller control at every price level. The adaptive pivot system adjusts automatically to volatility, while volume-filtering ensures only institutionally-backed turning points are displayed. High/Low Volume Node detection is fully automated with visual markers.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is a volume analysis tool - use with trend analysis and risk management
High Volume Nodes show where volume accumulated historically, not future support/resistance guarantees
Adaptive pivots adjust to volatility automatically but can still produce false signals in choppy markets
Best used as confirmation alongside price action, not as a standalone system
Profile recalculates on each bar to reflect current lookback range
Volume Profile Two-Tone - Hit Counter - Meter V1 Volume Profile Two-Tone - Hit Counter - Meter V1
Overview
The Volume Profile Two-Tone - Hit Counter - Meter V1 is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView, designed to visualize buy and sell activity distribution across price levels within a user-defined window or intraday session. It plots a dual-color horizontal histogram showing buying (green) and selling (red) volume intensity, along with optional hit-count numbers and meter overlays. The profile dynamically updates as new bars form, providing an intuitive picture of where market participants are most active.
The enhanced V1 edition introduces persistent hit counts, real-time adaptive row rebuilding, and improved memory management for smoother performance in both rolling-window and session modes.
How It Works
The indicator divides the selected range into rows (price bins) and aggregates trade volume (or tick volume) per bar.
Each bin separately sums up bullish and bearish contributions based on candle direction and delta logic, then draws side-by-side histogram bars:
• Buy Volume (green): Total volume from bullish bars within the bin.
• Sell Volume (red): Total volume from bearish bars within the bin.
A rolling or session-based window determines how many recent bars are analyzed. Value Area (VA), Point of Control (POC), and total hits per bin are computed continuously. The display auto-adjusts as price moves, keeping the profile anchored to the latest visible bars.
Behind the scenes, optimized arrays manage active boxes, lines, and labels for each bin. Functions like ensure_rows() rebuild buffers only when necessary, guaranteeing efficiency without repainting past data. Persistent hit-tracking ensures each price level maintains its count even when temporarily hidden.
Key Features
• Dual-Tone Volume Histogram: Buy/sell split with distinct colors for immediate visual contrast.
• Rolling or Session Profiles: Choose between continuous rolling windows or intraday session resets.
• Persistent Hit Counts: Displays total touches per bin, remaining stored even when bins refresh.
• Adaptive Row Management: Automatic rebuilding when zooming, scrolling, or changing resolution.
• Value Area + POC Detection: Highlights the most active price levels and volume concentration zones.
• Meter Overlay Option: Adds gradient bars or directional meters for quick trend context.
• Performance Optimized: Uses lightweight arrays and cached line handles for minimal CPU load.
• Custom Color Control: Editable buy/sell colors, opacity, row count, and profile width.
• Full Persistence Mode: Profiles remain visually consistent across bar updates without redraw gaps.
What It Displays
The Volume Profile Two-Tone - Hit Counter - Meter V1 presents an adaptive horizontal histogram beside the chart’s candles, revealing how volume is distributed across price.
• Green segments show dominant buying interest; red segments reveal selling pressure.
• POC line identifies the highest-volume price.
• Hit-count numbers quantify how often price traded at each level.
• Optional meters display relative directional strength within the same range.
This visual layering helps traders quickly identify supply/demand zones, balance areas, and developing auction profiles across intraday or multi-session contexts.
Originality
The Pine Script v6 indicator uses efficient array management (array.new_*, array.set, array.get) and native math operations for rendering.
It avoids external dependencies, relying only on built-in TradingView functions like request.security, box.new, line.new, and label.new for dynamic plotting.
Common Ways People Use It
• Scalpers: Study short-term imbalances or high-activity levels to time entries/exits.
• Day Traders: Track evolving session volume and POC migration.
• Swing Analysts: Compare rolling distributions to identify value shifts over multiple days.
• Volume Profilers: Combine with VWAP or order-flow tools for deeper context.
Configuration Notes
Profile Mode: Select Rolling Window (bars) or Session (intraday).
Rows and Width: Default = 72 rows, 44 bars width.
Colors and Opacity: Adjust to match chart theme.
Performance Mode: Choose Accurate or Fast (approximate) for speed control.
Show Hits / Meter: Enable hit-count numbers and gradient meters for added context.

FVG Volume Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
FVG Volume Profile is a smart volume analysis tool that identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and overlays a volume profile inside each gap using data from lower timeframes. The indicator automatically selects the best time resolution or allows for manual control, giving traders deeper insight into the volume structure within each imbalance. POC levels and total volumes gives a full microstructure view inside every FVG.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Fair Value Gap Detection (Bullish & Bearish)
Detects price gaps where inefficiency exists using a 3-bar structure.
-Bullish Gaps: Low > High with confirming middle bar.
-Bearish Gaps: High < Low with confirming middle bar.
Only significant gaps (filtered by standard deviation) are plotted to avoid noise.
Multi-Timeframe Volume Profiling
Pulls granular candle and volume data from a lower timeframe —
In Auto Mode, uses a resolution ~10x lower than the current chart.
In Manual Mode, lets the user select a custom timeframe.
This ensures accurate intra-gap volume distribution.
Dynamic Volume Binning
Each FVG is divided into vertical volume bins based on the Resolution input.
Each bin displays relative volume intensity as a horizontal box, scaled by percentage of the max bin volume.
Point of Control (PoC) Line & Label
The bin with the maximum volume inside each FVG is marked with:
A horizontal line (PoC) extending from the left to right side.
A label showing the absolute volume of that bin.
Color-coded to match bullish or bearish FVGs.
Total Volume Label Inside FVG
Each FVG displays the total volume sum from its profile:
For bullish FVGs , shown in the bottom-right corner.
For bearish FVGs , shown in the top-right corner.
Auto-Removal of Invalid Gaps
If price fully closes the gap (crosses its bounds), the FVG, profile, and PoC are deleted automatically.
This keeps the chart clean and focused only on active zones.
Toggleable Volume Profile Display
User can show or hide the volume profiles within FVGs using the "Display" toggle under the "FVG Volume Profile" group.
Only the PoC and FVG boxes remain visible if toggled off.
Volume Resolution Customization
Control the number of bins used for each FVG profile.
Higher resolution = more bins and finer volume analysis. (default 15)
Auto Timeframe Validation Warning
If the selected lower timeframe isn’t actually lower than the chart's, the script shows a visible warning label prompting adjustment.
Helps prevent calculation errors.
⯁ USAGE
Use this tool to identify active imbalance zones (FVGs) with embedded volume context.
Look for PoC positioning inside gaps — near top may indicate absorption or reversal zones.
Combine with price action at the PoC level for precision entries.
Hide volume profile for a cleaner view while retaining key POC and FVG boxes.
Use resolution controls to zoom into fine-grained profiles inside large gaps.
Consider Auto mode for seamless multi-timeframe analysis, or switch to Manual for full control.
⯁ CONCLUSION
FVG Volume Profile transforms raw imbalance detection into actionable insight by embedding lower-timeframe volume structure inside each Fair Value Gap. With PoC highlights, total volume labels, and customizable bin resolution, this indicator is essential for traders who want to understand not just where the gap is — but what volume did inside it .

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

Session Volume Profile - Asia London NYSession Volume Profile – Asia, London, NY
Description
OVERVIEW
Session Volume Profile is a technical analysis indicator designed to visualize how volume is distributed during the three primary global trading sessions: Asia, London, and New York. The script separates intraday volume data into time-defined sessions to help traders observe where trading activity concentrated and how value areas evolve as liquidity transitions between regions.
This indicator is intended for market structure and contextual analysis, not signal generation.
TECHNICAL OUTPUT
For each enabled session, the indicator calculates and displays:
Point of Control (POC)
The price level with the highest traded volume during the session.
Value Area High / Low (VAH / VAL)
The price range containing a user-defined percentage of total session volume (commonly 70%).
Session Volume Histogram
A horizontal volume-at-price visualization showing relative participation across price levels, highlighting high- and low-volume areas.
CALCULATION FRAMEWORK
Session Segmentation
Sessions are identified using exchange-based time boundaries. Each session is processed independently to prevent overlap and ensure clean separation of volume data.
Volume Binning
Intraday volume is allocated into discrete price buckets using an array-based structure. The resolution of these buckets is controlled by the Histogram Density input.
Value Area Expansion
The script identifies the session’s POC and expands outward in both directions until the selected percentage of total volume is reached, defining the Value Area High and Low.
HOW TO USE
Session Context
Observe how price reacts to prior-session POC and value areas when a new session begins.
Customization Controls
Individual sessions can be enabled or disabled, and visual opacity can be adjusted to maintain clarity on lower timeframes.
Session Awareness
An optional countdown timer displays remaining session time to help traders stay aware of upcoming liquidity transitions.
DESIGN NOTES
This indicator visualizes historical volume distribution only. It does not identify specific participants or predict future price behavior. All calculations are derived exclusively from price and volume data available on the chart.
DISCLAIMER
This script is provided for educational and analytical purposes only. It does not generate trade signals, alerts, or financial advice. Historical volume distributions do not guarantee future market behavior.
TradeX Labs Pivot MasterLucrorStrategies — Automated Price Action Execution Framework
This indicator-strategy automation is built for traders who want a simple, consistent, and rules-based trading system—no multi-timeframe chaos or overcomplicated confirmation layers. It trades purely from prior-day price action, keeping volatility, structure, and logic constant across all sessions.
Every entry, stop, and target comes directly from the same volatility-adjusted model. If the trade can’t fit your defined dollar risk, it simply won’t execute or plot.
⸻
IMPORTANT NOTE
***Since TradingView utilizes close of bar for plots, this is best utilized for real time entry/exit signals on 1 second charts or lower. If you do not have 1 second charts we can not recommend you to upgrade your subscription but we HIGHLY recommend utilizing this script on a 1 second chart. If utilizing on any higher time frame any signals or trade logic will be delayed and inaccurate or signals can be entirely skipped altogether and populate incorrect entries***
⸻
Purpose & Core Design
The framework is anchored to prior-day settlement data and mathematically transforms it into real-time, session-specific trading levels. This creates a daily map of opportunity that evolves with volatility while maintaining a consistent structure.
This approach eliminates guesswork and ensures the same conditions that produced historical edge apply to every live session.
⸻
Key Inputs & Control
1. Dollar Risk
Set your maximum dollar risk per trade. The system automatically sizes positions to stay at or below that risk limit based on stop distance.
• If the trade qualifies: a red-to-green gradient fill and entry label appear.
• If not: no fill, no entry, no false visual signals.
2. Timer Exit (Default: 30 Minutes)
The strategy is designed for momentum capture in the first 30 minutes after market open. If a trade remains active beyond that time, it is closed automatically.
All back tests and live reports reference this same window to maintain integrity. (Adjustable if you wish.)
3. Days to Keep Lines
Controls how many sessions of plotted levels and fills stay visible (up to 10).
To explore further back, use TradingView’s replay mode. The indicator will continue plotting as far as platform data allows.
4. Font & Label Size
• Price Label Size: Adjusts the numerical price levels beside pivots for manual pre-market entries.
• Level Label Size: Controls the on-chart text size for active trade signals. Both fully customizable.
⸻
Level Structure & Trade Mechanics
All plotted levels originate from a proprietary prior-day volatility formula. You will see:
• Middle Green Horizontal Lines — Support Levels
These mark historically reactive zones where price has a higher probability of holding or bouncing.
• Middle Blue Horizontal Lines — Resistance Levels
These represent opposing zones where price tends to reject or stall.
(Solid and dotted variants handle different roles in execution logic.)
• Red Horizontal Lines — Points of Control (POC Zones)
These are high-impact levels where price historically either rejects violently or breaks with strength.
⸻
Trade Logic
Long Trades
• Trigger: The solid blue line above the current structure acts as the long trigger.
• Stop: The solid blue line below is the stop-loss.
• Target: The next solid blue line above serves as the target.
Long trades are executed when price hits the solid blue trigger above the current level, using solid levels exclusively for entry, stop, and target.
Short Trades
• Trigger: The dotted blue line below the current structure is the short trigger.
• Stop: The dotted blue line above is the stop-loss.
• Target: The next dotted blue line below becomes the target.
Short trades use only dotted levels to define all key mechanics — entry, stop, and target — keeping short setups visually distinct and structurally independent from longs.
This dual structure allows for clean, symmetrical trade logic across both sides of the market, with consistent volatility mapping from prior-day data.
⸻
High-Priority Red Levels (Points of Control)
Red horizontal levels represent areas of major interest — typically where institutional activity concentrated previously. Price often reacts sharply here: either reversing instantly or breaking through with momentum.
These are optional reference points but often signal where the strongest reactions occur.
⸻
Visualization & Behavior
• Executed trades show the red-to-green gradient fill.
• Trades that exceed risk parameters simply do not appear.
• Levels remain clean and persistent day to day for back testing, journaling, or educational
use.

[MAD] FVG with LTF-POC/TPOOverview
The Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detector is a precision tool designed to automatically identify, draw, and track market inefficiencies. These gaps, also known as imbalances, often act as powerful magnets for future price action.
This indicator handles the entire lifecycle of an FVG: from its creation and extension, to the moment it is first touched, and through its entire mitigation process. To add an even deeper layer of analysis, it can now optionally plot two types of micro-analysis lines for the middle candle of the FVG pattern: a volume-based Point of Control (LTF-POC) and a time-based Time Price Opportunity (LTF-TPO). These high-precision lines pinpoint the most significant price levels within the imbalance itself.
By providing a clean and objective visualization of these critical price zones, the FVG Detector gives traders a clear framework for spotting high-probability setups and understanding how the market returns to areas of inefficiency to become balanced once again.
█ How It Works
The indicator’s logic is built on precise detection, dynamic visualization, and intelligent state tracking to provide a comprehensive view of market imbalances.
⚪ The FVG Detection Engine
At its core, the indicator uses a classic three-candle pattern to identify FVGs. This mechanical definition removes all subjectivity:
Bullish FVG: A gap is identified when the high of the first candle is lower than the low of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bullish FVG.
Bearish FVG: A gap is identified when the low of the first candle is higher than the high of the third candle. The space between these two prices creates the bearish FVG.
⚪ Dynamic Drawing and Mitigation
Once an FVG is detected, the indicator automatically draws a colored box to represent the gap. This box is then managed through its entire lifecycle:
Extension: If enabled, the FVG box extends forward in time with each new candle, acting as a visible, forward-looking zone of interest.
Partial Mitigation Trigger: The moment price first "touches" the gap, the box changes color to signal that it is no longer a fresh, unmitigated zone. The statistics table counts this as a "Partially Mitigated" event.
Shrinking FVG: As price moves further into the gap, the colored box dynamically shrinks, providing a real-time visual of how much of the imbalance has been filled.
Historical Outline: An optional secondary outline box is drawn to preserve the FVG's original size. This outline stops extending when the FVG is first touched, leaving a permanent historical marker.
⚪ Optional LTF Analysis for Added Precision
The indicator can look "inside" the FVG's middle candle to find its most significant price levels.
LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Using data from a lower timeframe, it analyzes the volume profile of the FVG-creating candle to find the single price level from the lower-timeframe bar with the highest trading volume.
LTF-TPO (Time-Based): It also identifies the Time Price Opportunity by dividing the candle's price range into distinct "bins." The script counts how many lower-timeframe price ticks occurred in each bin, and the TPO line is drawn at the center of the busiest bin.
Visual Confluence: These are drawn as distinct horizontal lines (defaulting to orange for POC and yellow for TPO) that extend and are managed alongside the FVG's historical outline, serving as precise levels of interest within the broader FVG zone.
█ Why This Indicator is Different
While many traders can spot FVGs manually, this indicator offers a significant edge through the possibility of the lowertimeframe analysis and showing the syntetic TPO or POCs for the relevant candles.
⚪ Automated and Objective
The market moves fast, and manually drawing FVGs is impractical and prone to error. This tool automates the entire process.
Never Miss a Gap: The detector impartially scans every three-candle sequence, ensuring no FVG is missed.
No Subjectivity: The rules for detection, mitigation, and LTF analysis are based on fixed mathematical models, removing subjective judgment.
Multi-Timeframe Clarity: The indicator works flawlessly on any timeframe, allowing you to maintain a consistent view of market structure.
⚪ Visualizing Market Memory
This tool does more than just draw boxes; it tells a story. Watching a box change color and shrink provides a visual of market dynamics in action. The optional historical outlines and LTF analysis lines build a "map" on your chart, showing where significant reactions and high-liquidity zones occurred in the past, which provides invaluable context for future price movements.
█ How to Use
⚪ Identifying High-Probability Zones
The primary use of the FVG Detector is to identify high-probability zones where price may react.
Entries: Unmitigated (fresh) FVGs can serve as powerful entry zones. Traders may look for price to return to a bullish FVG to take a long position, or to a bearish FVG to take a short position.
Targets: An FVG in your path can also act as a logical profit target. For example, if you are in a long position, you might take profit as price fills a nearby bearish FVG above you.
⚪ Confluence and Confirmation
FVGs are most powerful when they align with other forms of technical analysis. Look for FVGs that have "confluence" with:
Market Structure: A bullish FVG found at a key support level or after a bullish break of structure is a higher-probability setup.
Order Blocks: An FVG that overlaps with a bullish or bearish order block creates a very potent point of interest.
Premium/Discount Zones: FVGs found deep in a premium (for shorts) or discount (for longs) area of a trading range often yield strong reactions.
The LTF Lines (POC & TPO): Use these lines as a source of internal confluence. While the FVG gives you a zone, the POC and TPO give you precise levels within that zone. The POC shows where the highest volume was traded, while the TPO shows where price spent the most time. Confluence between these two lines can signal an extremely strong level.
█ Settings
Max Number of FVGs to Display: Controls how many active FVGs are kept on the chart to prevent clutter and maintain performance.
Extend Unmitigated FVGs: When enabled, FVG boxes will extend to the right until price touches them.
Show Bullish/Bearish FVGs: Toggles the visibility of bullish or bearish FVGs.
Show FVG Labels: Toggles the visibility of the "FVG" text labels.
Keep Mitigated Outlines: If checked, the historical outline box (and its associated POC/TPO lines) will remain on the chart even after the FVG is completely filled.
Show Statistics: Toggles the visibility of the statistics table, which tracks total, partly mitigated, and fully mitigated FVGs.
Show LTF-TPO (Time-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Time Price Opportunity line.
Show LTF-POC (Volume-Based): Toggles the calculation and display of the Point of Control line.
Use Custom LTF for Analysis: Check this to manually select a timeframe for the POC/TPO calculation. If unchecked, the script auto-selects a lower timeframe.
Lower Timeframe: The specific lower timeframe to use when the "Custom LTF" box is checked.
Magnifier (Bars per Slice): Controls how the script auto-selects a lower timeframe (higher number = lower timeframe). Only active when "Custom LTF" is unchecked.
█ The Logic Explained
This indicator uses a clear, rules-based system based on mathematical and conditional principles.
The 3-Candle FVG Pattern
The detection engine precisely identifies FVGs by comparing the price extremes of a three-candle sequence. For a bullish FVG, it confirms that the high of the first candle is strictly below the low of the third candle. For a bearish FVG, the low of the first candle must be strictly above the high of the third. This leaves an objective, unfilled gap in the market.
The Mitigation and Shrinking Process
Once an FVG is created, the indicator monitors it on every subsequent bar. The moment a candle's price action enters the FVG's zone, it's flagged as "partially mitigated," and its color changes. The script then continues to track how far price pushes into the gap, dynamically shrinking the box to visually represent the remaining imbalance.
Lower-Timeframe (LTF) Analysis Explained
To add precision, the indicator performs a micro-analysis of the middle candle of the FVG pattern. This is achieved by mathematically deconstructing that single candle using data from a smaller timeframe.
The lower timeframe is determined either manually or automatically via the Magnifier. The Magnifier works by dividing the chart's current timeframe. For example, on a 60-minute chart, a Magnifier of 60 tells the indicator to perform its analysis using 1-minute data (60÷60=1).
Once the LTF data is obtained, two calculations are performed:
LTF Point of Control (Volume-Based): This method seeks the price of maximum commitment. The indicator analyzes the volume of every single lower-timeframe bar within the main candle and identifies the one bar with the highest trading volume. The closing price of that specific high-volume bar is designated as the POC.
LTF Time Price Opportunity (Time-Based): This method finds the price where the market spent the most time trading. The process is a form of price distribution analysis:
The total price range (high to low) of the main candle is measured.
This range is divided into 40 equal price zones, or "bins". For a candle with a $2 range, each bin would represent a price slice of 5 cents
The indicator then counts how many of the lower-timeframe closing prices fall within each of the 40 bins.
The TPO line is drawn at the midpoint of the single bin that contained the most prices, representing the "busiest" price level.
Time-Based Drawing for Accuracy
To ensure perfect alignment across all historical data and chart reloads, all drawings are anchored to the precise timestamp of the bar, not its sequential position on the chart. This robust method guarantees that all zones remain fixed and accurate regardless of how much historical data is loaded.

This indicator uniquely combines two separate methodologies that are typically analyzed independently:
1. **Market Profile Analysis** - Calculates Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA) using volume distribution across price channels on higher timeframes
2. **Multi-Factor Dominance Scoring** - Weights six independent factors to produce a composite dominance index
### **Six-Factor Composite Analysis**
The dominance score integrates:
- Price position relative to POC (equilibrium assessment)
- Price position relative to Value Area boundaries (acceptance/rejection zones)
- Volume imbalance within Value Area (institutional bias detection)
- Price momentum (directional strength)
- Volume trend comparison (participation analysis)
- Normalized Value Area position (precise location within fair value zone)
### **Adaptive Higher Timeframe Integration**
The script features an intelligent auto-selection system that automatically chooses appropriate higher timeframes based on the current chart period, ensuring optimal Market Profile structure regardless of the trading timeframe being analyzed.
## 💡 HOW IT WORKS
### **Market Profile Construction**
The indicator builds a Market Profile structure on a higher timeframe by:
1. **Session Identification** - Detects new higher timeframe sessions using `request.security()` to ensure accurate period boundaries
2. **Data Accumulation** - Stores high, low, and volume data for all bars within the current higher timeframe session
3. **Channel Distribution** - Divides the session's price range into configurable channels (default: 20 rows)
4. **Volume Mapping** - Distributes each bar's volume proportionally across all price channels it touched
### **Key Level Calculation**
**Point of Control (POC)**
- Identifies the price channel with the highest accumulated volume
- Represents the price level where the most trading activity occurred
- Serves as a magnetic level where price often returns
**Value Area (VA)**
- Starts at POC and expands both upward and downward
- Includes channels until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default: 70%)
- Expansion algorithm compares adjacent volumes and prioritizes the direction with higher activity
- Defines the "fair value" zone where most market participants agreed to trade
### **Dominance Score Formula**
```
Dominance Score = (price_vs_poc × 10) +
(price_vs_va × 5) +
(volume_imbalance × 0.5) +
(price_momentum × 100) +
(volume_trend × 5) +
(va_position × 15)
```
**Component Breakdown:**
- **price_vs_poc**: +1 if above POC, -1 if below (shows which side of equilibrium)
- **price_vs_va**: +2 if above VAH, -2 if below VAL, 0 if inside VA
- **volume_imbalance**: Percentage difference between upper and lower VA volumes
- **price_momentum**: 5-period SMA of price change (directional acceleration)
- **volume_trend**: Compares 5-period vs 20-period volume averages
- **va_position**: Normalized position within Value Area (-1 to +1)
The composite score is then smoothed using EMA with configurable sensitivity to reduce noise while maintaining responsiveness.
### **Market State Determination**
- **BUYERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance > +10 (bullish control)
- **SELLERS Dominant**: Smooth dominance < -10 (bearish control)
- **NEUTRAL**: Between -10 and +10 (balanced market)
## 📈 HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
### **Trend Identification**
- **Green background** indicates buyers are in control - look for long opportunities
- **Red background** indicates sellers are in control - look for short opportunities
- **Gray background** indicates neutral market - consider range-bound strategies
### **Signal Interpretation**
**Buy Signals** (green triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses above -10 from oversold conditions
- Previous state was not already bullish
- Suggests shift from seller to buyer control
**Sell Signals** (red triangle) appear when:
- Dominance crosses below +10 from overbought conditions
- Previous state was not already bearish
- Suggests shift from buyer to seller control
### **Value Area Context**
Monitor the information table (top-right) to understand market structure:
- **Price vs POC**: Shows if trading above/below equilibrium
- **Volume Imbalance**: Positive values favor buyers, negative favors sellers
- **Market State**: Current dominant force (BUYERS/SELLERS/NEUTRAL)
### **Multi-Timeframe Strategy**
The auto-timeframe feature analyzes higher timeframe structure:
- On 1-minute charts → analyzes 2-hour structure
- On 5-minute charts → analyzes Daily structure
- On 15-minute charts → analyzes Weekly structure
- On Daily charts → analyzes Yearly structure
This higher timeframe context helps avoid counter-trend trades against the dominant force.
### **Confluence Trading**
Strongest signals occur when multiple factors align:
1. Price above VAH + positive volume imbalance + buyers dominant = Strong bullish setup
2. Price below VAL + negative volume imbalance + sellers dominant = Strong bearish setup
3. Price at POC + neutral state = Potential breakout/breakdown pivot
## ⚙️ INPUT PARAMETERS
- **Higher Time Frame**: Select specific HTF or use 'Auto' for intelligent selection
- **Value Area %**: Percentage of volume contained in VA (default: 70%)
- **Show Buy/Sell Signals**: Toggle signal triangles visibility
- **Show Dominance Histogram**: Toggle histogram display
- **Signal Sensitivity**: EMA period for dominance smoothing (1-20, default: 5)
- **Number of Channels**: Market Profile resolution (10-50, default: 20)
- **Color Settings**: Customize buyer, seller, and neutral colors
## 🎨 VISUAL ELEMENTS
- **Histogram**: Shows smoothed dominance score (green = buyers, red = sellers)
- **Zero Line**: Neutral equilibrium reference
- **Overbought/Oversold Lines**: ±50 levels marking extreme dominance
- **Background Color**: Highlights current market state
- **Information Table**: Displays key metrics (state, dominance, POC relationship, volume imbalance, timeframe, bars in session, total volume)
- **Signal Shapes**: Triangle markers for buy/sell signals
## 🔔 ALERTS
The indicator includes three alert conditions:
1. **Buyers Dominate** - Fires on buy signal crossovers
2. **Sellers Dominate** - Fires on sell signal crossovers
3. **Dominance Shift** - Fires when dominance crosses zero line
## 📊 BEST PRACTICES
### **Timeframe Selection**
- **Scalping (1-5min)**: Focus on 2H-4H dominance shifts
- **Day Trading (15-60min)**: Monitor Daily and Weekly structure
- **Swing Trading (4H-Daily)**: Track Weekly and Monthly dominance
### **Confirmation Strategies**
1. **Trend Following**: Enter in direction of dominance above/below ±20
2. **Reversal Trading**: Fade extreme readings beyond ±50 when diverging with price
3. **Breakout Trading**: Look for dominance expansion beyond ±30 with increasing volume
### **Risk Management**
- Avoid trading during NEUTRAL states (dominance between -10 and +10)
- Use POC levels as logical stop-loss placement
- Consider VAH/VAL as profit targets for mean reversion
## ⚠️ LIMITATIONS & WARNINGS
**Data Requirements**
- Requires sufficient historical data on current chart (minimum 100 bars recommended)
- Lower timeframes may show fewer bars per HTF session initially
- More accurate results after several complete HTF sessions have formed
**Not a Standalone System**
- This indicator analyzes market structure and participant control
- Should be combined with price action, support/resistance, and risk management
- Does not guarantee profitable trades - past dominance does not predict future results
**Repainting Characteristics**
- Higher timeframe levels (POC, VAH, VAL) update as new bars form within the session
- Dominance score recalculates with each new bar
- Historical signals remain fixed, but current session data is developing
**Volume Limitations**
- Uses exchange-provided volume data which varies by instrument type
- Forex and some CFDs use tick volume (not actual transaction volume)
- Most accurate on instruments with reliable volume data (stocks, futures, crypto)
## 🔍 TECHNICAL NOTES
**Performance Optimization**
- Uses `max_bars_back=5000` for extended historical analysis
- Efficient array management prevents memory issues
- Automatic cleanup of session data on new period
**Calculation Method**
- Market Profile uses actual volume distribution, not TPO (Time Price Opportunity)
- Value Area expansion follows traditional Market Profile auction theory
- All calculations occur on the chart's current symbol and timeframe
## 📚 EDUCATIONAL VALUE
This indicator helps traders understand:
- How institutional traders use Market Profile to identify fair value
- The relationship between price, volume, and market acceptance
- Multi-factor analysis techniques for assessing market conditions
- The importance of higher timeframe structure in trade planning

Smart VWAP FVG SystemSmart VWAP FVG System - Professional Multi-Filter Trading Indicator
📊 OVERVIEW
The Smart VWAP FVG System is an advanced multi-layered trading indicator that combines institutional volume analysis, multi-timeframe VWAP trend confirmation, and Fair Value Gap detection to identify high-probability trade entries. This indicator uses a sophisticated filtering mechanism where signals appear only when multiple independent confirmation criteria align simultaneously.
Recommended Timeframe: 5-minute (M5) or higher. The indicator works best on M5, M15, and M30 charts for intraday trading.
🎯 ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
This indicator is original because it combines three distinct analytical methods into a unified decision-making system:
Market Profile Volume Analysis - Identifies institutional accumulation/distribution zones
Dual VWAP Filtering - Confirms trend direction using two independent VWAP calculations
Fair Value Gap Detection - Validates institutional interest through price inefficiency zones
The key innovation is the directional filter system: the primary Market Profile generates BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY states based on higher timeframe value area reversals, which then controls which signals from the main system are displayed. This creates a multi-timeframe confluence that significantly reduces false signals.
Unlike simple indicator mashups, each component serves a specific purpose:
Market Profile → Direction bias (trend filter)
Primary VWAP (Session) → Short-term trend confirmation
Secondary VWAP (Week) → Medium-term trend confirmation
FVG Detection → Institutional activity validation
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
1. Primary Market Profile Filter (Higher Timeframe)
The indicator calculates Market Profile on a higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) to determine the overall market structure:
Value Area High (VAH): Top 70% of volume distribution
Value Area Low (VAL): Bottom 70% of volume distribution
Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume
When price reaches VAH and reverses down → SELL-ONLY mode activated
When price reaches VAL and reverses up → BUY-ONLY mode activated
This higher timeframe filter ensures you're trading in the direction of institutional flow.
2. Dual VWAP System
Two independent VWAP calculations provide multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
Primary VWAP (Session-based): Resets daily, tracks intraday momentum
Secondary VWAP (Week-based): Resets weekly, confirms longer-term trend
Filter Logic:
BUY signals require: Price > Primary VWAP AND Price > Secondary VWAP
SELL signals require: Price < Primary VWAP AND Price < Secondary VWAP
This dual confirmation prevents counter-trend trades during ranging conditions.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
FVG zones identify price inefficiencies where institutional orders were executed rapidly:
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (upward imbalance)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (downward imbalance)
The indicator monitors recent FVG formation (lookback: 50 bars) and requires:
Bullish FVG present for BUY signals
Bearish FVG present for SELL signals
FVG zones are displayed as colored boxes and automatically marked as "mitigated" when price fills the gap.
4. Main Trading Signal Logic
The secondary Market Profile (default: 1 hour) generates the actual trading signals:
BUY Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area Low
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price > Primary VWAP
Price > Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bullish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = BUY-ONLY or NEUTRAL
SELL Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area High
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price < Primary VWAP
Price < Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bearish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = SELL-ONLY or NEUTRAL
All conditions must be TRUE simultaneously for a signal to appear.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
1. Repainting Behavior
CRITICAL: This indicator uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to access higher timeframe data immediately for FVG detection. This is necessary to provide real-time FVG zone visualization but has the following implications:
FVG zones may shift slightly until the higher timeframe candle closes
FVG detection signals are preliminary until HTF bar confirmation
The main trading signals (triangles) appear on confirmed bars and do not repaint
Best Practice: Always wait for the current timeframe bar to close before acting on signals. The filter status and FVG zones are informational but may adjust as new data arrives.
2. Minimum Timeframe
Do NOT use on timeframes below 5 minutes (M5)
Recommended: M5, M15, M30 for intraday trading
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) can also be used but will generate fewer signals
3. Multiple Filters Can Block Signals
By design, this indicator is conservative. When all filters are enabled:
Signals appear ONLY when all conditions align
You may see extended periods with no signals
This is intentional to reduce false positives
If you see no signals:
Check the Info Panel to see which filters are failing
Consider adjusting FVG lookback period
Temporarily disable FVG filter to test
Verify VWAP filters match current market trend
4. Market Profile Limitations
Market Profile requires sufficient volume data
Low-volume instruments may produce unreliable profiles
Value Areas update only on higher timeframe bar close
Works best on liquid markets (major forex pairs, indices, crypto)
📖 HOW TO USE
Step 1: Add to Chart
Apply indicator to M5 or higher timeframe chart
Ensure chart shows volume data
Use standard candles (NOT Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.)
Step 2: Configure Settings
Primary MP Filter TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) minimum, or 240 (4 hour) for swing trading
Main MP TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) for intraday signals
FVG Timeframe: Match or exceed main MP timeframe
Leave other settings at default initially
Step 3: Understand the Info Panel
Monitor the top-right panel:
FILTER STATUS: Shows current directional bias
NEUTRAL = Both signals allowed
BUY ONLY = Only green triangles will appear
SELL ONLY = Only red triangles will appear
FVG Filter: Shows if bullish/bearish gaps detected recently
VWAP positions: Confirms trend alignment
Step 4: Take Signals
For BUY Signal (Green Triangle ▲):
Wait for green triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for BUY signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter long position
Stop loss: Below recent VAL or swing low
Target: Previous Value Area High or 1.5-2× risk
For SELL Signal (Red Triangle ▼):
Wait for red triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for SELL signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter short position
Stop loss: Above recent VAH or swing high
Target: Previous Value Area Low or 1.5-2× risk
Step 5: Risk Management
Risk per trade: Maximum 1-2% of account equity
Position sizing: Adjust based on stop loss distance
Avoid trading: During major news events or time filter periods
Multiple confirmations: Look for confluence with price action (support/resistance, trendlines)
🎓 UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Market Profile Theory
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile organizes price and volume data to identify:
Value Areas: Where 70% of trading activity occurred
POC: Price level with highest acceptance (most volume)
Imbalances: When price moves away from value quickly
This indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation method to build the volume profile distribution.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume, showing where institutional traders are positioned:
Price above VWAP = Bullish (institutions accumulated lower)
Price below VWAP = Bearish (institutions distributed higher)
Using dual VWAP (Session + Week) creates multi-timeframe trend alignment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Also known as "imbalance" or "inefficiency," FVG occurs when:
Price moves so rapidly that a gap forms in the candlestick structure
Indicates institutional order flow (large market orders)
Price often returns to "fill" these gaps (rebalance)
The 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle and candle ) is widely used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and Smart Money Concepts.

Cumulative Volume Delta Profile and Heatmap [BackQuant]Cumulative Volume Delta Profile and Heatmap
A multi-view CVD workstation that measures buying vs selling pressure, renders a price-aligned CVD profile with Point of Control, paints an optional heatmap of delta intensity, and detects classical CVD divergences using pivot logic. Built for reading who is in control, where participation clustered, and when effort is failing to produce result.
What is CVD
Cumulative Volume Delta accumulates the difference between aggressive buys and aggressive sells over time. When CVD rises, buyers are lifting the offer more than sellers are hitting the bid. When CVD falls, the opposite is true. Plotting CVD alongside price helps you judge whether price moves are supported by real participation or are running on fumes.
Core Features
Visual Analysis Components
CVD Columns - Plot of cumulative delta, colored by side, for quick read of participation bias.
CVD Profile - Price-aligned histogram of CVD accumulation using user-set bins. Shows where net initiative clustered.
Split Buy and Sell CVD - Optional two-sided profile that separates positive and negative CVD into distinct wings.
POC - Point of Control - The price level with the highest absolute CVD accumulation, labeled and line-marked.
Heatmap - Semi-transparent blocks behind price that encode CVD intensity across the last N bars.
Divergence Engine - Pivot-based detection of Bearish and Bullish CVD divergences with optional lines and labels.
Stats Panel - Top level metrics: Total CVD, Buy and Sell totals with percentages, Delta Ratio, and current POC price.
How it works
Delta source and sampling
You select an Anchor Timeframe that defines the higher time aggregation for reading the trend of CVD.
The script pulls lower timeframe volume delta and aggregates it to the anchor window. You can let it auto-select the lower timeframe or force a custom one.
CVD is then accumulated bar by bar to form a running total. This plot shows the direction and persistence of initiative.
Profile construction
The recent price range is split into Profile Granularity bins.
As price traverses a bin, the current delta contribution is added to that bin.
If Split Buy and Sell CVD is enabled, positive CVD goes to the right wing and negative CVD to the left wing.
Widths are scaled by each side’s maximum so you can compare distribution shape at a glance.
The Point of Control is the bin with the highest absolute CVD. This marks where initiative concentrated the most.
Heatmap
For each bin, the script computes intensity as absolute CVD relative to the maximum bin value.
Color is derived from the side in control in that bin and shaded by intensity.
Heatmap Length sets how far back the panels extend, highlighting recurring participation zones.
Divergence model
You define pivot sensitivity with Pivot Left and Right .
Bearish divergence triggers when price confirms a higher high while CVD fails to make a higher high within a configurable Delta Tolerance .
Bullish divergence triggers when price confirms a lower low while CVD fails to make a lower low.
On trigger, optional link lines and labels are drawn at the pivots for immediate context.
Key Settings
Delta Source
Anchor Timeframe - Higher TF for the CVD narrative.
Custom Lower TF and Lower Timeframe - Force the sampling TF if desired.
Pivot Logic
Pivot Left and Right - Bars to each side for swing confirmation.
Delta Tolerance - Small allowance to avoid near-miss false positives.
CVD Profile
Show CVD Profile - Toggle profile rendering.
Split Buy and Sell CVD - Two-sided profile for clearer side attribution.
Show Heatmap - Project intensity panels behind price.
Show POC and POC Color - Mark the dominant CVD node.
Profile Granularity - Number of bins across the visible price range.
Profile Offset and Profile Width - Position and scale the profile.
Profile Position - Right, Left, or Current bar alignment.
Visuals
Bullish Div Color and Bearish Div Color - Colors for divergence artifacts.
Show Divergence Lines and Labels - Visualize pivots and annotations.
Plot CVD - Column plot of total CVD.
Show Statistics and Position - Toggle and place the summary table.
Reading the display
CVD columns
Rising CVD confirms buyers are in control. Falling CVD confirms sellers.
Flat or choppy CVD during wide price moves hints at passive or exhausted participation.
CVD profile wings
Thick right wing near a price zone implies heavy buy initiative accumulated there.
Thick left wing implies heavy sell initiative.
POC marks the strongest initiative node. Expect reactions on first touch and rotations around this level when the tape is balanced.
Heatmap
Brighter blocks indicate stronger historical net initiative at that price.
Stacked bright bands form CVD high volume nodes. These often behave like magnets or shelves for future trade.
Divergences
Bearish - Price prints a higher high while CVD fails to do so. Effort is not producing result. Potential fade or pause.
Bullish - Price prints a lower low while CVD fails to do so. Capitulation lacks initiative. Potential bounce or reversal.
Stats panel
Total CVD - Net initiative over the window.
Buy and Sell volume with percentages - Side composition.
Delta Ratio - Buy over Sell. Values above 1 favor buyers, below 1 favor sellers.
POC Price - Current control node for plan and risk.
Workflows
Trend following
Choose an Anchor Timeframe that matches your holding period.
Trade in the direction of CVD slope while price holds above a bullish POC or below a bearish POC.
Use pullbacks to CVD nodes on your profile as entry locations.
Trend weakens when price makes new highs but CVD stalls, or new lows while CVD recovers.
Mean reversion
Look for divergences at or near prior CVD nodes, especially the POC.
Fade tests into thick wings when the side that dominated there now fails to push CVD further.
Target rotations back toward the POC or the opposite wing edge.
Liquidity and execution map
Treat strong wings and heatmap bands as probable passive interest zones.
Expect pauses, partial fills, or flips at these shelves.
Stops make sense beyond the far edge of the active wing supporting your idea.
Alerts included
CVD Bearish Divergence and CVD Bullish Divergence.
Price Cross Above POC and Price Cross Below POC.
Extreme Buy Imbalance and Extreme Sell Imbalance from Delta Ratio.
CVD Turn Bullish and CVD Turn Bearish when net CVD crosses zero.
Price Near POC proximity alert.
Best practices
Use a higher Anchor Timeframe to stabilize the CVD story and a sensible Profile Granularity so wings are readable without clutter.
Keep Split mode on when you want to separate initiative attribution. Turn it off when you prefer a single net profile.
Tune Pivot Left and Right by instrument to avoid overfitting. Larger values find swing divergences. Smaller values find micro fades.
If volume is thin or synthetic for the symbol, CVD will be less reliable. The script will warn if volume is zero.
Trading applications
Context - Confirm or question breakouts with CVD slope.
Location - Build entries at CVD nodes and POC.
Timing - Use divergence and POC crosses for triggers.
Risk - Place stops beyond the opposite wing or outside the POC shelf.
Important notes and limits
This is a price and volume based study. It does not access off-book or venue-level order flow.
CVD profiles are built from the data available on your chart and the chosen lower timeframe sampling.
Like all volume tools, readings can distort during roll periods, holidays, or feed anomalies. Validate on your instrument.
Technical notes
Delta is aggregated from a lower timeframe into an Anchor Timeframe narrative.
Profile bins update in real time. Splitting by side scales each wing independently so both are readable in the same panel.
Divergences are confirmed using standard pivot definitions with user-set tolerances.
All profile drawing uses fixed X offsets so panels and POC do not swim when you scroll.
Quick start
Anchor Timeframe = Daily for intraday context.
Split Buy and Sell CVD = On.
Profile Granularity = 100 to 200, Profile Position = Right, Width to taste.
Pivot Left and Right around 8 to 12 to start, then adapt.
Turn on Heatmap for a fast map of interest bands.
Bottom line
CVD tells you who is doing the lifting. The profile shows where they did it. Divergences tell you when effort stops paying. Put them together and you get a clear read on control, location, and timing for both trend and mean reversion.
Volume Voids [theUltimator5]Volume Voids highlights price regions with no or unusually thin participation over a chosen lookback. It bins the lookback’s full price range into equal steps, assigns each bar’s close to a bin, and accumulates volume per bin. Contiguous runs of zero-volume bins are shown as “voids,” while low-volume runs (below a dynamic threshold) mark thin-liquidity “corridors” where price often traverses quickly when revisited.
An optional PoC (Point of Control) line marks the mid-price of the highest-volume bin—commonly treated as a recent “value” area that price may revisit.
What it draws on your chart
Histogram (optional): Right-anchored horizontal volume-by-price bars built from your lookback and bin count. Bars tint green→red via a simple delta proxy (up-bar volume minus down-bar volume) to hint at directional participation inside each price band.
Point of Control (optional): A horizontal line at the highest-volume bin’s mid-price (the PoC).
Zero-Volume Voids: Translucent boxes where no bin volume printed within the window (detected between the first and last non-empty bins ).
Low-Volume Zones: Translucent boxes where bin volume is below a dynamic threshold (see formula below), often acting like low-friction corridors.
How it works
Slice the lookback’s high→low into N equal price bins.
Assign each bar’s closing price to a bin and add that bar’s volume to the bin total. A simple up/down-bar delta proxy drives the histogram’s tinting.
PoC = bin with the maximum accumulated volume.
Zero-Volume Voids = contiguous runs of bins with exactly zero volume (bounded by the first/last occupied bins).
Low-Volume Zones = contiguous runs of bins with volume below:
threshold = total_window_volume ÷ (divisor × number_of_bins)
Lower divisor → more LV boxes; higher divisor → stricter/fewer boxes.
Note: This is a lightweight, chart-native approximation of a volume profile. Volume is binned by bar close (not by tick-level prints or intrabar distribution), so “voids”/“thin” areas reflect this approximation.
Key inputs
Lookback Period: Window for calculations.
Number of Volume Boxes (bins): Histogram resolution.
PoC / Show Histogram / Anchor to Right Side: Visibility and layout controls.
Low-Volume Threshold Divisor: Sensitivity for LV detection.
Colors & Labels: Customize zero-volume / low-volume box colors and optional labels with offsets.
How to use (educational, not signals)
Context: High-volume = acceptance; thin/zero-volume = inefficiency. Price often rotates near acceptance and moves faster through thin areas.
Revisits: On returns to prior voids/LV zones, watch for accelerated moves or fills; PoC can serve as a balance reference.
Confluence: Pair with trend tools (e.g., ADX), VWAP/session markers, or structure levels for timing and risk.
Limitations & performance
Bins use closing price only; intrabar distribution is not modeled.
Detections refresh on the live bar; visuals can be heavy on large lookbacks/high bin counts—reduce bins/lookback or hide labels if needed.
ZigZag Volume Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
ZigZag Volume Profile combines swing structure with volume analytics by plotting a ZigZag of major price swings and overlaying a detailed volume profile around each swing. At the end of each swing, it highlights the Point of Control (POC) — the price level with the highest traded volume — and extends it forward to identify key areas of potential support or resistance.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
ZigZag Swing Detection:
Automatically detects swing highs and lows based on a user-defined length, creating clean visual segments of market structure.
These segments act as boundaries for volume profile calculations.
swingHigh = ta.highest(swingLength)
swingLow = ta.lowest(swingLength)
ZigZag Channel Visualization:
The ZigZag structure is connected with sloped lines, forming a visual “channel” of the price movement.
The ZigZag can optionally, scaled by ATR.
Volume Profile Around Each Swing:
For every completed swing (high to low or low to high), the indicator constructs a full volume profile using user-defined bin counts.
It scans volume across price levels in the swing and plots histogram-style bins using a gradient color to indicate volume magnitude.
Dynamic Bin Width and Slope Adjustment:
Bins are distributed across a vertical ATR-based range, and their width is adjusted based on the percentage of total swing volume.
The volume fill direction is adapted to the swing’s slope for visually aligned plotting.
POC Detection and Extension:
The highest volume bin in each swing is identified as the Point of Control (POC).
This level is plotted with a thicker line and extended horizontally into the future as a key reaction level.
Automatic POC Expiry on Price Interaction:
POC lines are continuously extended unless breached by price.
When price crosses the POC level, the extension is terminated — signaling that the level may have been absorbed.
Clean Volume Bin Visualization:
Bin colors range from green (low volume) to blue (higher volume), with the POC always marked in red by default for easy identification.
Volume percentages are optionally labeled at each bin level.
Flexible Swing Profile Parameters:
Users can control:
Number of volume bins
Bin width
Channel width (ATR factor)
Visibility of the swing channel or POC lines
Efficient Memory Handling:
Old POC lines and volume profiles are automatically removed from memory after a threshold to keep charts clean and performant.
⯁ USAGE
Use ZigZag swings to define market structure visually.
Analyze volume profile around each swing to understand where most trading activity occurred.
Use POC extensions as dynamic support/resistance zones for entries, stops, or take-profits.
Watch for price interaction with extended POC lines — breaks may suggest absorbed liquidity or breakout potential.
Use the ATR-based channel width to adapt profiles based on market volatility.
⯁ CONCLUSION
ZigZag Volume Profile offers a powerful fusion of structure and volume. By plotting detailed volume profiles over each price swing and extending the POC as actionable S/R levels, this tool provides deep insight into market participation zones — giving traders a tactical edge in both ranging and trending environments.
Dynamic Volume Profile PoC SwiftedgeOverview
The Dynamic Volume Profile PoC is a powerful and visually intuitive indicator designed to help traders identify key support and resistance levels using a unique combination of pivot points, volume analysis, and dynamic Point of Control (PoC) levels. This script overlays directly on your chart, providing clear visual cues for potential breakout and rejection zones, making it easier to spot high-probability trading opportunities.
What It Does
This indicator combines three core components to deliver actionable insights:
Pivot Points: Identifies significant swing highs and lows to establish potential support and resistance levels.
Volume Oscillator: Measures volume momentum to confirm the strength of price movements, ensuring that breakouts or rejections are backed by significant volume.
Dynamic Point of Control (PoC): Calculates the midpoint between consecutive pivot points to create dynamic PoC levels, which act as key areas where price is likely to either break through (breakout) or reverse (rejection).
These components work together to highlight critical price levels where the market is likely to react, giving traders a clear framework for decision-making.
How It Works
Pivot Detection: The script uses pivot highs and lows (based on user-defined Left Bars and Right Bars) to identify significant price levels. These pivots form the foundation for calculating PoC levels.
PoC Calculation: Each time a new pivot is detected, the script calculates the midpoint between the current pivot and the previous pivot, creating a dynamic PoC level. These levels are plotted as horizontal lines on the chart, with a maximum of Max PoC Lines to Show (default: 2) visible at any time.
Volume Confirmation: A volume oscillator (short EMA of volume minus long EMA of volume) is used to filter breakouts and rejections. Breakouts or rejections are only signaled if the volume oscillator exceeds the Volume Threshold (default: 20), ensuring that price movements are supported by strong volume.
Visual Cues:
PoC levels are drawn as cyan lines with optional semi-transparent zones (controlled by Show PoC Zones). These zones are colored green for potential breakouts (price above PoC) and red for potential rejections (price below PoC).
Labels above and below each PoC level indicate trading opportunities: "Long if breakout"/"Long if rejected" (green) and "Short if breakout"/"Short if rejected" (red), depending on the price's direction relative to the PoC.
Break signals ("B") are plotted above or below bars when price crosses a pivot level with sufficient volume, colored red for downward breaks and green for upward breaks.
How to Use
Add the Indicator: Add the "Dynamic Volume Profile PoC " to your chart in TradingView.
Adjust Settings:
Left Bars and Right Bars (default: 15): Control the sensitivity of pivot detection. Lower values make the script more sensitive to smaller price swings.
Volume Threshold (default: 20): Set the minimum volume oscillator value required to confirm breakouts or rejections. Increase this for stricter confirmation.
Max PoC Lines to Show (default: 2): Define how many PoC levels are displayed at once.
Show PoC Zones (default: true): Toggle semi-transparent zones around PoC levels for better visualization.
Label Spacing Factor (default: 0.5): Adjust the vertical spacing between labels and the PoC box. Increase this value (e.g., to 1.0 or 2.0) for more spacing, or decrease it (e.g., to 0.3) for less.
Interpret the Signals:
Look for PoC levels (cyan lines) as key areas of interest.
Use the labels to identify potential trades: "Long if breakout" indicates a buy opportunity if price breaks above the PoC, while "Short if rejected" suggests a sell if price fails to break through.
Watch for "B" signals to confirm breakouts or rejections with volume support.
Combine with Your Strategy: Use the PoC levels and break signals as part of your broader trading strategy, such as trend-following or mean-reversion setups.
Why This Script is Unique
The Dynamic Volume Profile PoC stands out by combining pivot points, volume analysis, and dynamic PoC levels into a single, cohesive tool. Unlike traditional volume profile indicators that require a fixed range, this script dynamically updates PoC levels based on recent price action, making it more responsive to current market conditions. The addition of volume confirmation ensures that signals are backed by market participation, reducing false breakouts. The visually appealing design, with customizable spacing and semi-transparent zones, makes it easy to interpret key levels at a glance, even for traders unfamiliar with Pine Script.
Notes
This script works best on timeframes where pivot points are meaningful (e.g., 1H, 4H, or daily charts).
Adjust the Label Spacing Factor to ensure labels are well-spaced for your chart's zoom level and instrument.
For instruments with high volatility, you may need to increase the Volume Threshold to filter out noise.
