Volume Profile Matrix [LuxAlgo]

2 May 2023

The Volume Profile Matrix indicator extends from regular volume profiles by also considering calculation intervals within the calculation window rather than only dividing the calculation window in rows.

Note that this indicator is subject to repainting & back-painting, however, treating the indicator as a tool for identifying frequent points of interest can still be very useful.

🔶 SETTINGS

• Lookback: Number of most recent bars used to calculate the indicator.
  
• Columns: Number of columns (intervals) used to calculate the volume profile matrix.
  
• Rows: Number of rows (intervals) used to calculate the volume profile matrix.
  

🔶 USAGE



The Volume Profile Matrix indicator can be used to obtain more information regarding liquidity on specific time intervals. Instead of simply dividing the calculation window into equidistant rows, the calculation is done through a grid.



Grid cells with trading activity occurring inside them are colored. More activity is highlighted through a gradient and by default, cells with a color that are closer to red indicate that more trading activity took place within that cell. The cell with the highest amount of trading activity is always highlighted in yellow.



Each interval (column) includes a point of control which highlights an estimate of the price level with the highest traded volume on that interval. The level with the highest traded volume of the overall grid is extended to the most recent bar.
