ZenAlgo - ControlZenAlgo - Control plots volume profile reference levels for several higher time windows and keeps those levels visible on the chart with labels and optional alerts. It is designed to work on intraday charts and uses the symbol's traded volume to estimate where the most activity occurred within each period.
Inputs and session alignment
Session start offset (hours) shifts the time used to decide when a new week, month, quarter, semi annual period, or year begins. This is useful when you want the period boundary to align with a specific exchange session, or when you want weekly boundaries to start at a different hour than the default.
Profile levels controls how finely the script bins price into equally sized price slices between the current period's high and low. More levels means a finer histogram (more detail, more computation).
Max rebuild bars limits how far back the script will look when it must rebuild the entire histogram (explained below).
Value Area % sets how much of the total estimated volume the value area should contain (default 0.68).
Label offsets control how far to the right the labels and lines extend, so the levels are readable without covering current candles.
Period availability and timeframe gating
The indicator conditionally runs each period engine depending on the chart timeframe to avoid heavy calculations where it is not intended.
Weekly is available on intraday timeframes below 1D (for example 1m to 4h).
Monthly is available on intraday timeframes at or above 15m.
Quarterly, Semi Annual, and Yearly are available on intraday timeframes at or above 1h.
The script disables these engines on D, W, M chart timeframes as described in the input tooltips and gating logic.
This matters because the calculation builds a histogram from bar ranges and volumes, which becomes expensive on very low timeframes over very long history.
Core idea - building a volume by price histogram from candles
For each enabled period (weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi annual, yearly), the script maintains:
The running high and low of the current period
A fixed number of price bins spanning that high to low range
An array holding estimated volume per price bin
For every new bar inside the current period, the script distributes that bar's volume into the bins that overlap the candle's low to high range. The distribution is weighted by how much of the candle's range overlaps each bin, so a candle that spans many bins contributes proportionally rather than assigning all volume to a single price.
Why this works conceptually:
Volume profile levels aim to identify prices where the market accepted a lot of trading (high participation).
Distributing volume across the candle's traded range is a practical approximation on platforms where true tick by tick volume at price is not available to Pine in a universal way.
Aggregating many bars over a full period produces a stable histogram where high volume areas stand out compared to low volume areas.
POC and Value Area calculation
Point of Control (POC)
Within a period, the script finds the price bin with the highest accumulated volume and uses the center of that bin as the period's POC level. This is the single price level where the histogram peaks.
Value Area High and Low (VAH, VAL)
After the POC is known, the script expands outward from the POC bin, adding neighboring bins until the cumulative included volume reaches the configured Value Area percentage of the total. It expands by comparing the volume just above and just below, including the larger side first so the chosen area reflects where volume clustered. The resulting upper and lower included bin centers become VAH and VAL.
Interpretation:
POC is a single most traded price area proxy for the period.
VAH and VAL bound the price region that contains the chosen fraction of the period's estimated volume.
When price is inside VA, it is within the range where most period volume occurred. When price is outside VA, it is in the lower participation tails relative to that period's distribution.
Incremental update vs rebuild logic
The histogram depends on the current period's high and low because those define the bin boundaries. When a new bar makes a new high or new low for the period, the bin boundaries would change. If you kept the old histogram, the bins would no longer correspond to the correct price slices.
To handle this, the script uses two modes:
Incremental update when the period high and low do not change on the new bar. It simply adds the new bar's weighted volume into the existing bins and recalculates the POC from the updated histogram.
Rebuild when the period makes a new high or new low. It clears the histogram and reconstructs it by iterating back over bars in the current period (up to Max rebuild bars), re distributing each bar's volume into the newly defined bins.
This approach keeps levels consistent with the current period range, at the cost of occasional heavier computation when the range expands.
Current period dPOC and previous period levels
The indicator draws two categories of levels per period.
Current period dPOC (running)
For each enabled period, the script plots a dotted line at the current period's running POC and labels it as dPOC (dynamic POC). It is dynamic because it changes while the period is still forming as new volume comes in and as the period range expands.
Previous period fixed levels
When a period rolls over (for example, a new week starts), the script stores the finished period's final POC, VAH, and VAL as previous levels. It then draws those previous levels across the current chart with solid (POC) and user selected styles (VAH, VAL), plus labels. These previous levels remain fixed until the next rollover of that period.
Why both exist:
The running dPOC reflects where trading is concentrating in the current unfinished period.
The previous period POC and VA levels provide stable references derived from a completed distribution, which does not change retroactively.
Visual plotting details
Each period has separate color settings for POC and dPOC, plus optional VAH and VAL with configurable line width and line style (solid, dashed, dotted).
Labels print the formatted level value using the symbol's minimum tick formatting, and for very large numbers the label shortens the text with K, M, B, T suffixes to keep labels readable.
Lines and labels are positioned to the right of price using the configured bar offsets. The script includes a safety limit on how far back the left anchor can be placed to avoid platform constraints when loading long history.
Alerts - touch and cross logic
Alerts are optional and can be configured per period and per level category.
You can enable:
TOUCH : triggers when the candle's low is at or below the level and the high is at or above the level (the bar range includes the level).
CROSS : triggers when the close crosses the level.
HIT is defined as TOUCH or CROSS.
You can choose to alert on:
Current running dPOC levels
Previous period POC and, if enabled, previous period VAH and VAL
Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Semi Annual, Yearly independently
How to interpret the plotted values
dPOC (W, M, Q, S, Y) : the current period's running POC estimate. It can move during the period and can shift more noticeably when the period range expands and a rebuild occurs.
POC (W, M, Q, S, Y) : the previous completed period's POC. This is fixed for the duration of the next period.
VAH / VAL (W, M, Q, S, Y) : the previous completed period's value area boundaries for the configured value area percentage.
A practical reading:
Previous POC and VA can be used as higher timeframe reference levels on lower timeframe charts because they summarize where volume concentrated over larger windows.
The current dPOC helps track where volume is concentrating inside the currently forming period.
Best use and workflow
Common ways to use these levels as references:
Use previous period POC and VA as context zones, then make lower timeframe decisions with your existing execution tools.
Treat dPOC as a live read of where the current period is building acceptance, and compare it to the fixed prior levels.
Use alerts to reduce screen time by being notified when price interacts with selected levels (touch or close cross).
Settings guidance:
Higher Profile levels increases detail but can be heavier on performance, especially when rebuilds occur.
If you need lighter computation on very active charts, reduce Profile levels or reduce Max rebuild bars.
If you want period boundaries to align with a specific session, adjust Session start offset.
Added value compared to free alternatives
This script focuses on a specific combination that is not always available together in simpler public indicators:
Simultaneous tracking of multiple higher time windows (weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi annual, yearly) with independent enable toggles and styling.
Side by side display of current running dPOC and previous completed period levels for each enabled window.
A candle range weighted volume distribution into bins, rather than assigning the entire bar volume to a single price proxy.
Built in alert conditions for touch and close cross across all supported windows and level types, so level interaction can be monitored without manual checking.
Label formatting that respects the symbol's tick size and shortens very large values for readability on indices and aggregates.
All supported periods are calculated using the same volume distribution model, the same binning logic, and the same rebuild rules. This ensures that weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi annual, and yearly levels are directly comparable to each other, unlike combining multiple separate indicators that may use different assumptions, aggregation methods, or update behavior. Using a single engine also enables consistent alert definitions and synchronized updates across all periods.
Disclaimers and where it can fall short
The volume at price distribution is an approximation derived from candle ranges and bar volume. It is not a true tick level volume profile, and results can differ from exchange native volume at price data.
On symbols where the reported volume is limited, synthetic, or not representative (some indices, some CFDs, some venues), the histogram is based on the volume series TradingView provides for that symbol, which may affect the usefulness of volume derived levels.
The current dPOC can change within the period and can jump when the period makes a new high or low, because a rebuild recalculates the histogram using the updated range.
Performance depends on timeframe, history loaded, Profile levels, and how often the period range expands. If you see slowness, reduce Profile levels or Max rebuild bars, or disable some periods.
This indicator plots reference levels only. It does not determine entries, exits, position sizing, or risk limits.

# 📘 Ultimate Futures Daytrade Suite – The Strategy Guide
### 1. The Visual Legend (What is what?)
Before you trade, you need to understand the hierarchy of your lines. Not every line has the same importance.
* **🟣 Daily EMA 50 (Neon Violet):** The **"Big Boss"**. It determines the **Macro Trend**.
* *Price above:* We are primarily looking for Longs.
* *Price below:* We are primarily looking for Shorts.
* **🟢 4h EMA 50 (Neon Green):** The **"Swing Trend"**. Your most important level for **Pullback Entries** (Re-entries).
* **🟡 POC (Gold) & TPO:** The **"Magnet"**. Price often returns here.
* *Rule:* Never open a trade directly *on* the POC (Risk of "Chop"). Use it as a **Target** (Take Profit).
* **🟠 IB High/Low (Orange Lines):** The **"Daily Structure"**.
* A breakout from the IB (Initial Balance) often indicates the trend direction for the day.
* **🟥/🟩 Boxes (Supply/Demand):** Resistance and Support zones from the 1h timeframe.
* **⬜ FVG Boxes:** "Gaps" in the market that are often filled.
---
### 2. The Trading Workflow (Top-Down Method)
Go through this mental checklist before every trade:
#### Step 1: Trend Check (The Traffic Light)
Look at the **Violet Line (Daily)** and the **Green Line (4h)**.
* **Bullish:** Price is above Violet AND above Green. -> *Focus: Buy dips.*
* **Bearish:** Price is below Violet AND below Green. -> *Focus: Sell rallies.*
* **Mixed:** Price is between Violet and Green. -> *Caution! Market is undecided (Range Trading).*
#### Step 2: Location (The Context)
Where is the price currently located?
* Are we at a **Green Demand Zone**?
* Are we testing the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** from above?
* Are we at the **VWAP**?
* *Never trade in "No Man's Land"!* Wait until the price touches one of your lines.
#### Step 3: Trigger (The Execution)
Now zoom into your lower timeframe (e.g., 5min or 15min).
* Wait for a reaction at the zone.
* Use the **EMA 9 (Yellow)** as a momentum trigger. If price breaks the EMA 9 and closes above/below it, that is your "Go".
---
### 3. The Setup Blueprints
Here are the two most profitable scenarios you can trade with this script:
#### A) The "Golden Trend" Setup (Long)
* **Context:** Price > **Daily EMA (Violet)**.
* **Preparation:** Price corrects (drops) back to the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** or to the **VWAP**.
* **Confluence:** Ideally, there is also a **Demand Zone (Green Box)** or an **FVG** at that level.
* **Entry:** As soon as a candle touches the zone and closes bullish again (or reclaims the EMA 9).
* **Stop-Loss:** Below the 4h EMA 50.
* **Take-Profit:** Next **Supply Zone (Red)** or the **IB High (Orange)**.
#### B) The "Daytrade Breakout" (Intraday)
* **Context:** Price opens inside yesterday's Value Area.
* **Signal:** Price breaks through the **IB High (Orange)** with momentum.
* **Filter:** Price must be above the **VWAP**.
* **Entry:** On the retest of the IB High or directly on the breakout.
* **Target:** Price often trends in that direction for the rest of the day.
---
### 4. Warning Signals (When NOT to trade)
1. **The "Concrete Ceiling":** If you want to go Long, but the **Violet Daily EMA 50** is running directly above you. This is massive resistance. Better wait until it is broken.
2. **The "POC Dance":** If price is dancing sideways around the **Gold Line (POC)**. This is a "No-Trade Zone". Day traders lose the most money here due to fees and whipsaws.
3. **Overextension:** If price is extremely far away from the **4h EMA 50 (Green)** (Rubber Band Effect). Do not enter in the trend direction here; wait for a pullback to the line.
### Summary
Your chart is now telling you a story:
* **Violet** tells you the Direction.
* **Green** gives you the Entry.
* **Red/Green Boxes** show you the Obstacles.
* **Yellow (EMA 9)** gives you the Timing.
Good luck with the Suite! This is a setup similar to what institutional traders use.

2. Monitor the POC: The Point of Control is a price magnet. Watch for reactions or retests at this level.
3. Low Volume Gaps: Price tends to move quickly through areas with very short volume bars.
[Greeny] RTH Only Naked VPOCWhat it does
Calculates and displays daily Volume Point of Control (VPOC) levels based on RTH (Regular Trading Hours) session only. Tracks which VPOCs remain "naked" (untouched) and which have been hit - but only counts hits during RTH hours, ignoring overnight/globex touches.
Key Features
One VPOC per trading day calculated from entire RTH session volume profile
RTH-only hit detection - levels only marked as hit when touched during RTH, not overnight
Works on all timeframes - daily, hourly, or any chart timeframe
Volume-based filtering - automatically skips low-liquidity sessions (pre-front-month contract data)
Visual markers - small dash on origin bar shows where each VPOC was, even after being hit
Visual Guide
Yellow dashed line - Naked VPOC (not yet touched during RTH)
White dashed line - Hit VPOC (was touched during RTH)
Small dash on candle - POC origin marker
Settings
Display options: Toggle to show only naked POCs, customize hit/naked colors, adjust line width and style (solid/dashed/dotted), enable/disable line extension and origin markers.
RTH Session: Configure start and end time in NY timezone. Default is 9:30-16:00 (US equity market hours), which equals 15:30-22:00 Budapest time.
Advanced: Adjust volume profile resolution (default 250 bins), data source timeframe for calculations (5min recommended for daily charts), and minimum volume threshold to filter out low-liquidity sessions like pre-rollover contract data (default 10% of average).
Best For
ES/MES, NQ/MNQ futures traders
Mean reversion strategies using VPOC as support/resistance
Auction Market Theory practitioners
Anyone wanting clean RTH-only volume profile levels
Note on Contract Rollovers
When using specific contract symbols (e.g., ESH2026 instead of ES1!), the script may show many naked VPOCs from months before the contract became active. This happens because futures contracts have very low liquidity before becoming the front-month, creating unreliable VPOCs with gaps that never get hit. The volume filter helps reduce this, but you may need to increase the "Min Volume % of Average" setting or simply ignore older levels when viewing back-month data.
Market Zones ProMarket Zones Pro
Market Zones Pro is an advanced, multi-timeframe market profile indicator built for professional traders who demand deep insight into market structure, volume distribution, and time-at-price dynamics. Its hybrid volume/time-weighted engine delivers real-time value areas, points of control, and proprietary extended levels — all in one clean, customizable overlay. This invite-only script distinguishes itself with original features like the Venom Pivots projection system, intelligent 80% Rule confirmation logic, and flexible stacked composite profiles that create long-term distribution views not available in standard tools.
Core Features & Concepts
• Hybrid Market Profile Engine Seamlessly blends volume-based and time-at-price (TPO) data — originally developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s — into a configurable hybrid mode (pure volume, pure time, or balanced). This creates robust, adaptive profiles that perform reliably across quiet sessions and high-volatility environments alike.
• Value Area & Point of Control (POC) The shaded value area captures one standard deviation of trading activity (~68% of total volume/time). The POC marks the price level with the highest concentration — widely regarded as the “fairest” price and a natural magnet for price action
• Virgin POCs (VPOCs) Prior POCs that price has not yet revisited. These untouched levels frequently act as powerful support or resistance, often producing stalls or reversals when finally tagged.
• Venom Pivots Proprietary extended support and resistance levels projected from the current value area dimensions. Up to six levels above and below provide harmonic targets: closer pivots (R1/S1) for short-term moves, farther ones for trend extensions
• 80% Rule Detection Automated implementation of the observation popularized by James Dalton : when price opens outside the value area and enters it, there is historically an ~80% probability of reaching the opposite side. The script intelligently distinguishes potential vs. confirmed states, handles breakout scenarios, and applies tailored confirmation logic
• Developing (Future) Value Areas Real-time projection of the current incomplete period’s value area, POC, and Venom levels — essential for intraday and swing traders.
• Stacked Composite Profiles Merges multiple completed periods into a single long-term histogram (e.g., 12 months = 1-year composite). Ideal for identifying persistent “shelves” and overall market distribution.
• High Volatility Warnings & Visual Zones Automatically flags compressed value areas that often precede explosive moves. Gradient zones outside the value area, up/down volume histograms, and multi-timeframe color coding provide instant visual context.
• Smart Alerts & Status Table Custom alerts for 80% Rule states, value area breakouts, VPOC touches, and volatility warnings — all with price levels included. A real-time status table offers an immediate position summary relative to key levels.
• Extensive Customization Over 50 inputs control visuals, labels, opacity, data modes, and session handling (regular + extended hours supported with accurate rollover alignment for futures and forex).
How to Use It
1. Add to chart → select desired Profile Timeframe (Auto or manual).
2. Enable Extended Trading Hours in chart settings for precise developing value areas on 24/7 instruments.
3. Interpret: range-trade inside the value area; look for trends on breaks; use VPOCs and Venom levels for entries/exits; follow confirmed 80% Rule signals for high-probability targets.
4. Leverage the status table for instant context and set rich alerts for live trading.
Why Market Zones Pro?
The unique combination of proprietary Venom projections, sophisticated 80% Rule logic, hybrid volume/time weighting, developing value areas, and flexible stacked composites delivers insights and automation far beyond conventional market profile indicators. Proven across diverse assets and timeframes (as shown in screenshots), it saves significant analysis time while providing clear, actionable edges.
Volume Cluster Profile [VCP] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Volume Cluster Profile (Zeiierman) is a volume profile tool that builds cluster-enhanced volume-by-price maps for both the current market window and prior swing segments.
Instead of treating the profile as a raw histogram only, VCP detects the dominant volume peaks (clusters) inside the profile, then uses a Gaussian spread model to “radiate” those peaks into surrounding price bins. This produces a smoother, more context-aware profile that highlights where volume is most meaningfully concentrated, not just where it happened to print.
On top of the live profile, VCP automatically records historical swing profiles between pivots, wraps each segment for clarity, and can project the most recent segment’s High/Low Value extensions (VA/LV) forward to the current bar to keep key structure visible as price evolves.
█ How It Works
⚪ 1) Profile Construction (Volume-by-Price)
VCP builds a volume profile histogram over a chosen window (current lookback, or a swing segment):
Range Scan
The script finds the full min → max price range inside the window.
Bin the Range
That range is divided into a user-defined number of Price Bins (rows). More bins = finer detail, but heavier computation.
Accumulate Volume into Bins
For each bar inside the window, the script takes the bar’s close price, determines which price bin it belongs to, and adds the bar’s volume to that bin.
float step = (maxPrice - minPrice) / binsCount
for i = 0 to barsToUse - 1
int b = f_clamp(int(math.floor((close - minPrice) / step)), 0, binsCount - 1)
volBins += volume
Result: volBins becomes a standard volume-by-price histogram (close-based binning).
⚪ 2) Cluster Detection (Finding Dominant Peaks)
Once the raw histogram is built, VCP identifies cluster centers as the most meaningful volume “hills”:
Local Peak Test
A bin becomes a cluster candidate if its volume is greater than or equal to its immediate neighbors (left/right).
Filter Weak Peaks
Peaks must also be above a basic activity threshold (relative to the average bin volume) to avoid noise.
bool isPeak = v >= left and v >= right
if isPeak and v > avgVol
array.push(clusterIdxs, b)
Keep the Best Peaks Only
If too many peaks exist, the script keeps only the strongest ones, capped by: Max Cluster Centers
Result: clusterIdxs = the set of dominant profile peaks (cluster centers).
⚪ 3) Cluster Enhancement (Gaussian Spread Model)
This is what makes VCP different from a raw profile.
Instead of using volBins directly, the script builds an enhanced profile where each cluster center influences nearby price bins using a Gaussian curve:
Distance from each bin to each cluster center is computed in “bin units”
A Gaussian weight is applied so that bins near the center receive stronger influence, while bins farther away decay smoothly.
Cluster Spread (sigma) controls how wide this influence reaches: low sigma produces tight, sharp clusters, while high sigma results in wider, smoother structure zones.
enhanced += centerV * math.exp(-(dist*dist) / (2.0 * clusterSigma * clusterSigma))
volBinsAI := enhanced / szClFinal
Result: volBinsAI = the cluster-enhanced volume value for each bin.
In practice, VCP turns the profile into a structure map of dominant volume concentrations, rather than a simple “where volume printed” histogram.
⚪ 4) POC from the Enhanced Profile
After enhancement:
The bin with the highest volBinsAI becomes the POC (Point of Control)
POC is plotted at the midpoint price of that bin
if volBinsAI > maxVol
maxVol := volBinsAI , pocBin := b
So the POC reflects the cluster-enhanced profile rather than the raw histogram.
█ How to Use
⚪ Read Cluster Structure (Default = 2 Clusters)
By default, the Volume Cluster Profile (VCP) is configured to detect up to 2 dominant volume clusters within the profile. These clusters represent price zones where the market accepted trading activity, not just where volume printed randomly.
⚪ When TWO Clusters Appear
When VCP detects two distinct clusters, it usually indicates:
Two competing areas of value
Ongoing auction between higher and lower acceptance zones
Treat each cluster as an acceptance zone
Expect slower price action and rotation inside clusters
Expect faster movement in the low-volume space between clusters
Use cluster-to-cluster movement as:
rotation targets
range boundaries
acceptance vs rejection tests
Typical behavior:
Price enters a cluster → stalls, consolidates, rotates
Price rejects at cluster edge → moves toward the opposite cluster
⚪ When ONLY ONE Cluster Appears
If VCP detects only one cluster, or if two clusters visually merge into one:
Volume is no longer split
The market has formed a single dominant value area
Price consensus is strong
Treat the cluster as the primary value anchor
Expect pullbacks and reactions around this zone
Bias becomes directional:
Above the cluster → bullish context
Below the cluster → bearish context
Inside the cluster → balance/chop
This structure often appears during clean trends or stable equilibria.
⚪ VA/LV Extensions
VCP projects two zones from the end of the most recent swing segment:
VA extension = the segment’s highest enhanced-volume bin (dominant zone)
LV extension = the segment’s lowest enhanced-volume bin (thin/weak zone)
A breakout of the VA extension signals acceptance and potential continuation. A retest of the VA or LV extension is used to confirm acceptance or rejection, while rejection from either zone often leads to rotation back toward value.
█ Settings

Point of Control [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Point of Control identifies the exact price level with the highest traded volume over a selected lookback period.
This level—called the Point of Control (PoC) —marks where the greatest market participation occurred, representing a zone of highest volume.
The indicator helps traders visualize dominant volume concentrations, fair-value levels, and structural balance within recent price action.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Point of Control (PoC) — The single price level within the defined lookback range that has accumulated the most traded volume.
Volume Distribution Bins — The price range is divided into 25 equal bins, and volume is aggregated per bin to locate the maximum concentration.
Range Boundaries — The highest and lowest price within the lookback window are used to form the upper and lower reference limits.
PoC Channel — Optional upper and lower bands plotted around the main PoC to visualize a fair-value corridor.
Volume Intensity Mapping — Candle color dynamically shifts based on the candle’s position relative to the PoC channel, showing whether price is balanced or trending away from high-volume levels.
🔵 FEATURES
Configurable Lookback Range — Adjust how many bars (10–400) are used for calculating the PoC.
Precise PoC Calculation — Volume aggregation across 25 bins to identify the exact volume peak.
Dynamic Channel Visualization — PoC bands above and below the central level to indicate equilibrium tolerance.
Adaptive Candle Coloring —
- Neutral → price inside PoC channel. Gray
- Bullish → price above PoC channel. Blue 🔵
- Bearish → price below PoC channel. Orange 🟠
Automatic Volume Labeling — Displays total volume at the active PoC level for quick reference.
Directional Indicators — 🔵 or 🟠 markers appear when price shifts above or below the PoC channel.
Range Visualization — Plots the highest and lowest points of the active lookback window for contextual awareness.
Live Updating Logic — PoC recalculates automatically every 15 bars for efficient chart performance and accuracy.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Volume Anchoring — Use PoC as a reference for where the majority of volume occurred; price often reacts to or consolidates around this level.
Trend Confirmation — Sustained price movement away from PoC channel may signal developing directional imbalance.
Value Tracking — Watch the shifting of PoC across time to identify where fair value migrates during market evolution.
Equilibrium Mapping — When price hovers around PoC, the market is balanced; when it departs, a new value zone may form.
Combine With Volume Profiles — Use alongside profile tools for higher-resolution analysis of institutional activity.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Point of Control provides a pure, volume-centric view of market balance by pinpointing where most transactions occurred within any chosen range.
It delivers a clean and efficient visualization of fair value zones—helping traders track the heartbeat of market participation, recognize dominant liquidity areas, and stay aligned with where true market interest resides.
Delta Smart Volume Profile [Resistance]Delta POC - Smart Volume Profile
A streamlined volume profile indicator that cuts through the noise and shows you only what matters: the key price levels where significant trading activity occurred.
Original concept by @BigBeluga
📊 What It Shows
Point of Control (POC) The price level with the highest traded volume in the lookback period. This is where the market found the most agreement between buyers and sellers - a powerful magnet for price action. Value Area High (VAH) & Value Area Low (VAL) The upper and lower boundaries of the "fair value" zone where 70% of volume was traded. Price tends to return to this zone, making VAH resistance and VAL support. Delta Analysis See the battle between buyers and sellers at a glance. The color gradient shows whether bulls or bears dominated at the POC level, giving you insight into market sentiment.
📈 VWAP Integration
Daily VWAP + Bands Volume Weighted Average Price anchored to each trading day. The shaded band shows ±1 standard deviation - a dynamic support/resistance zone that adapts to volatility. 4H VWAP + Bands Intraday VWAP that resets every 4 hours, perfect for scalping and short-term mean reversion trades.
⚙️ Features
Clean Display - Only essential levels shown, no chart clutter
Delta Heatmap - Visual representation of buy/sell pressure
Bull/Bear Volume Split - See exact percentages at POC
Customizable Colors - Match your chart theme
Adjustable Lookback - Fine-tune to your trading timeframe
Value Area % - Customize from 50% to 90%
🎯 How To Use
For Support/Resistance:
POC acts as a magnet - price often returns to retest
VAH = resistance when price is above
VAL = support when price is below
For Trend Confirmation:
Price above Daily VWAP = bullish bias
Price below Daily VWAP = bearish bias
Delta color shows who's in control
For Mean Reversion:
Price at upper VWAP band = potential short
Price at lower VWAP band = potential long
POC = equilibrium target

Adaptive Volume Profile [by Oberlunar]Adaptive Volume Profile of Oberlunar is built to solve a practical limitation I’ve found in many volume profile scripts: they don’t truly adapt to the chart’s visible range, so you lose readability when you zoom in for microstructure or zoom out for macro context.
This indicator stays usable across zoom levels, keeping the profile informative and visually consistent whether you’re studying fine detail or the bigger picture.
On top of that, it highlights something I’ve always wanted to read at a glance: how bullish vs bearish pressure behaves inside convex and concave volumetric structures — the bumps (high participation nodes - yellow area) and the bottlenecks (low participation nodes where price often travels fast - violet area).
You can quickly spot whether a bump is dominated by positive or negative flow, then zoom in to validate if the pressure is confirmed by subsequent price action. Missing this kind of clarity can easily lead to wrong assumptions and bad decisions — this tool is designed to make that read immediate and attractive.
Zoom In - Zoom Out example
For example, this is a "zoom in":
It looks bearish...
yeah... let's see the whole picture by a zoom out:
The bearish volumetric pressure is evident in the last bottleneck.

Volume Profile Lite [JOAT]
Volume Profile Lite — Simplified Volume-at-Price Analysis
Volume Profile Lite creates a histogram showing volume distribution across price levels using a proprietary lightweight calculation method. It identifies the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High, and Value Area Low—key concepts from auction market theory—in an optimized, easy-to-read format that won't slow down your charts.
Why This Script is Protected
This script is published as closed-source to protect the proprietary volume distribution algorithm and the optimized Value Area calculation methodology from unauthorized republishing. The specific implementation of volume allocation across price rows, the buy/sell volume separation logic, and the efficient POC detection system represents original work that provides a unique lightweight alternative to standard volume profile implementations.
What Makes This Indicator Unique
Unlike heavy volume profile indicators that can slow down charts, Volume Profile Lite:
Uses an optimized algorithm designed for performance
Separates buying and selling volume for additional insight
Provides clean visual presentation without chart clutter
Includes extending reference lines for key levels
Features a dashboard with price position relative to POC
What This Indicator Does
Distributes volume across price rows to create a visual profile histogram
Identifies the Point of Control (highest volume price level)
Calculates Value Area (where specified percentage of volume traded)
Separates buying and selling volume for each price level
Extends key levels as reference lines on the chart
Highlights the POC row with a distinct border
Core Methodology
The indicator uses a proprietary approach to volume-at-price analysis:
Price Row Division — The lookback range is divided into configurable price rows (default: 24 rows)
Volume Distribution — Each bar's volume is allocated to the price rows it touches. If a bar spans multiple rows, volume is distributed proportionally.
Buy/Sell Separation — Volume is classified based on bar direction (close >= open = buying volume, close < open = selling volume)
POC Detection — The row with maximum accumulated volume is identified as the Point of Control
Value Area Calculation — Starting from POC, expands outward (alternating up and down) until target volume percentage is captured
Key Concepts Explained
Point of Control (POC) — The price level with the highest volume concentration. Often acts as a magnet for price and represents "fair value" for the analyzed period. Price tends to return to POC.
Value Area High (VAH) — Upper boundary of the value area zone. Acts as resistance when price is below, support when price is above.
Value Area Low (VAL) — Lower boundary of the value area zone. Acts as support when price is above, resistance when price is below.
Value Area — Price range containing specified percentage (default 70%) of total volume. This is where most trading activity occurred.
Visual Features
Volume Histogram — Horizontal bars showing volume at each price level
Buy/Sell Coloring — Green portions show buying volume, red shows selling volume
POC Highlight — The POC row has a distinct orange border and fill
POC Line — Horizontal line extending from POC (optional extension to right)
Value Area Lines — Dashed blue lines at VAH and VAL
Value Area Fill — Subtle blue fill between VAH and VAL
Color Scheme
Up Volume Color — Default: #26A69A (teal) — Buying volume
Down Volume Color — Default: #EF5350 (red) — Selling volume
POC Color — Default: #FF9800 (orange) — Point of Control
Value Area Color — Default: #2196F3 (blue) — VAH/VAL lines and fill
Dashboard Information

VAH acts as resistance when approaching from below
VAL acts as support when approaching from above
For Trend Analysis:
Price above POC suggests bullish control
Price below POC suggests bearish control
Breaking out of Value Area often leads to trending moves
Returning to Value Area suggests failed breakout
For Entry/Exit:
Enter longs near VAL with stops below
Enter shorts near VAH with stops above
Target POC for mean-reversion trades
Use POC as a trailing stop reference in trends
Alerts Available
VPL Cross Above POC — Price crosses above Point of Control
VPL Cross Below POC — Price crosses below Point of Control
VPL Cross Above VAH — Price breaks above Value Area High
VPL Cross Below VAL — Price breaks below Value Area Low
Best Practices
Use longer lookback periods for more significant levels
Increase row count for more precise level identification
POC from higher timeframes is more significant

Daytrading Suite: Neon TPO + FVG v6.1Here is the summary of the code and the trading guide in English.
---
### 1. Code Summary: What does the chart show?
The script combines three dimensions of trading into a single chart:
* **The Context (TPO / Market Profile - Yesterday):**
* **Gold Zone (Center):** Yesterday's **POC (Point of Control)**. This was the "fairest price". It often acts as a magnet.
* **White Dashed Lines:** The **VAH (Value Area High)** and **VAL (Value Area Low)**. Yesterday, 70% of all trading volume happened between these lines. This is the area of "Balance".
* **The Structure (HTF - 1 Hour+):**
* **Red/Green Boxes (Right Edge):** Automatic **Supply & Demand Zones** based on the 1-hour chart (or your setting). They indicate major resistance and support levels.
* **The Timing (Entries):**
* **Neon FVG Boxes (Small):** "Fair Value Gaps". These represent imbalances in price. If price revisits these, it is often your **entry signal**.
* **Lines (VWAP, EMA, PDH/PDL):** Act as dynamic support and trend indicators.
---
### 2. Trading Strategy: How to use it
Do not just trade every colored spot. You must combine **Location (TPO)** with **Signal (FVG)**.
#### Step A: The Open (Where are we?)
In the morning (or at the US Open), check where the price is relative to the **white TPO lines**.
1. **Inside the White Lines (In Balance):**
* The market is undecided. Expect ranging/choppy behavior.
* **Strategy:** Buy at the bottom edge (VAL), Sell at the top edge (VAH). The target is often the Gold Zone (POC) in the middle.
2. **Outside the White Lines (Imbalance):**
* The market is seeking new prices. Danger of a Trend!
* **Strategy:** If price breaks above VAH and tests it from above -> **Long**. If it breaks below VAL -> **Short**.
#### Step B: The Setup (The High Probability Scenario)
Here is the "Rejection" Setup (Long Example):
1. Price drops to the lower white line (**VAL**) or into a green **Demand Zone**.
2. It bounces (shows a wick).
3. In the process, a small **green Neon FVG** is formed.
4. **Entry:** Limit Order at the top of the Neon FVG.
5. **Target:** The Gold Zone (POC) or the upper white line (VAH).
6. **Stop Loss:** Below the recent swing low.
#### Step C: Warning Signals (When NOT to trade)
* **In "No Man's Land":** If the price is sitting right in the middle between Gold (POC) and White (VAH/VAL), do nothing. The risk is 50/50. Wait until price hits an edge.
* **Against the Flow:** If EMA 9 and 21 are pointing steeply downwards, do not buy blindly at the VAL just because the line is there. Wait for confirmation (FVG).
### Pre-Trade Checklist:
1. **Level:** Am I at a white line (VAH/VAL) or the Gold Zone (POC)?
2. **Structure:** Do I have an HTF Demand/Supply Zone backing me up?
3. **Trigger:** Do I see a Neon FVG pointing in my direction?
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.

HTF Frequency Zone [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
HTF Frequency Zone highlights the dominant price level (Point of Control) and the full high–low expansion of any higher timeframe — Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. It captures the frequency of closes inside each HTF candle and plots the most traded “frequency zone”, allowing traders to easily see where price spent the most time and where buy/sell pressure accumulated.
This tool transforms each higher-timeframe bar into a fully visualized structure:
• Top = HTF high
• Bottom = HTF low
• Midline = HTF Frequency POC
• Color-coded zones = bullish or bearish bias
• Labels = counts of bullish and bearish candles inside the HTF range
It is designed to give traders an immediate understanding of high-timeframe balance, imbalance, and price attraction zones.
🔵 CONCEPTS
HTF Partitioning — Each Weekly/Daily/Monthly candle is converted into a dedicated zone with its own High, Low, and Frequency Point of Control.
Frequency POC (Most Touched Price) — The indicator divides the HTF range into 100 bins and counts how many times price closed near each level.
Dominant Zone — The level with the highest frequency becomes the HTF “Value Zone,” plotted as a bold central line.
Directional Bias —
• Bullish HTF zone
• Bearish HTF zone
Internal Candle Counting — Within each HTF period the indicator counts:
• Buy candles (close > open)
• Sell candles (close < open)
This reveals whether intraperiod flow was bullish or bearish.
HTF Structure Blocks — High, Low, and POC are connected across the entire higher-timeframe duration, showing the real shape of HTF balance.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic HTF Zone Construction — Generates a complete price zone every time the selected timeframe flips (Daily / Weekly / Monthly).
Dynamic High & Low Extraction — The indicator scans every bar inside the HTF window to find true extremes of the range.
100-Level Frequency Scan — Each close within the period is assigned to a bin, creating a detailed distribution of price interaction.
HTF POC Highlighting — The most frequent price level is plotted with a bold red line for immediate visual clarity.
Bull/Bear Coloring —
• Green → Bullish HTF zone.
• Orange → Bearish HTF zone.
Zone Shading — High–Low range is filled with a semi-transparent color matching trend direction.
Buy/Sell Candle Counters — Printed at the top and bottom of each HTF block, showing how many internal candles were bullish or bearish.
POC Label — Displays frequency count (how many touches) at the POC level.
Adaptive Threshold Warning — If bars inside the HTF window are too few (<10), the indicator warns the trader to switch timeframe.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Higher-Timeframe Biasing — Read the zone color to determine if the HTF candle leaned bullish or bearish.
Value Zone Reactions — Price often reacts to the Frequency POC; use it as support/resistance or liquidity magnet.
Range Context — Identify when price is trading near HTF highs (breakout potential) or lows (reversal potential).
Momentum Evaluation — More bullish internal candles = internal buying pressure; more bearish = internal selling pressure.
Swing Trading — Use HTF zones as the “macro map,” then execute trades on lower timeframes aligned with the zone structure.
Liquidity Awareness — The HTF POC often aligns with algorithmic liquidity levels, making it a strong reaction point.
🔵 CONCLUSION
HTF Frequency Zone transforms raw higher-timeframe candles into detailed distribution zones that reveal true market behavior inside the HTF structure. By showing highs, lows, buying/selling activity, and the most interacted price level (Frequency POC), this tool becomes invaluable for traders who want to align executions with powerful HTF levels, liquidity magnets, and structural zones.
RSI Profile [Kodexius]RSI Profile is an advanced technical indicator that turns the classic RSI into a distribution profile instead of a single oscillating line. Rather than only showing where the RSI is at the current bar, it displays where the RSI has spent most of its time or most of its volume over a user defined lookback period.
The script builds a histogram of RSI values between 0 and 100, splits that range into configurable bins, and then projects the result to the right side of the chart. This gives you a clear visual representation of the RSI structure, including the Point of Control (POC), the Value Area High (VAH), and the Value Area Low (VAL). The POC marks the RSI level with the highest activity, while VAH and VAL bracket the percentage based value area around it.
By combining standard RSI, a distribution profile, and value area logic, this tool lets you study RSI behavior statistically instead of only bar by bar. You can immediately see whether the current RSI reading is located inside the dominant zone, extended above it, or depressed below it, and whether the recent regime has been biased toward overbought, oversold, or neutral territory. This is particularly useful for swing traders, mean reversion systems, and anyone who wants to integrate RSI context into a more profile oriented workflow.
🔹 Features
1. RSI-Based Distribution Profile
-Builds a histogram of RSI values between 0 and 100.
-The RSI range is divided into a user-defined number of bins (e.g., 30 bins).
-Each bin represents a band of RSI values, such as 0–3.33, 3.33–6.66, ..., 96.66–100.
-For each bar in the lookback period, the script:
-Finds which bin the RSI value belongs to
Adds either:
-1.0 → if using time/frequency
-volume → if using volume-weighted RSI distribution
This creates a clear profile of where RSI has been concentrated over the chosen lookback window.
2. Time / Volume Weighting Mode
Under Profile Settings, you can choose:
-Weight by Volume = false
→ Profile is built using time spent at each RSI level (frequency).
-Weight by Volume = true
→ Profile is built using volume traded at each RSI level.
This flexibility allows you to decide whether you want:
-A pure momentum structure (time spent at each RSI)
-Or a participation-weighted structure (where higher-volume zones are emphasized)
3. Configurable Lookback & Resolution
-Profile Lookback: number of historical bars to analyze.
-Number of Bins: controls the resolution of the histogram:
Fewer bins → smoother, fewer gaps
More bins → more detail, but potentially more visual sparsity
-Profile Width (Bars): defines how wide the histogram extends into the future (visually), converted into time using average bar duration.
This provides a balance between performance, clarity, and visual density.
4. Value Area, POC, VAH, VAL
The script computes:
-POC (Point of Control)
→ The RSI bin with the highest total value (time or volume).
-Value Area (VA)
→ The range of RSI bins that contain a user-specified percentage of total activity (e.g., 70%).
-VAH & VAL
→ Upper and lower RSI boundaries of this Value Area.
These are then drawn as horizontal lines and labeled:
-POC line and label
-VAH line and label
-VAL line and label
This gives you a profile-style view similar to classical volume profile, but entirely on the RSI axis.
5. Color Coding & Visual Design
The histogram bars (boxes) are colored using a smart scheme:
-Below 30 RSI → Oversold zone, uses the Oversold Color (default: green).
-Above 70 RSI → Overbought zone, uses the Overbought Color (default: red).
-Between 30 and 70 RSI → Neutral zone, uses a gradient between:
A soft blue at lower mid levels
A soft orange at higher mid levels
Additional styling:
-POC bin is highlighted in bright yellow.
-Bins inside the Value Area → lower transparency (more solid).
-Bins outside the Value Area → higher transparency (faded).
This makes it easy to visually distinguish:
-Core RSI activity (VA)
-Extremes (oversold/overbought)
-The single dominant zone (POC)
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the core logic behind the script and highlights the main building blocks that power the profile.
1. Profile Structure and Bin Initialization
A custom Profile type groups together configuration, bins and drawing objects. During initialization, the script splits the 0 to 100 RSI range into evenly spaced bins, each represented by a Bin record:
method initBins(Profile p) =>
p.bins := array.new()
float step = 100.0 / p.binCount
for i = 0 to p.binCount - 1
float low = i * step
float high = (i + 1) * step
p.bins.push(Bin.new(low, high, 0.0, box(na)))
2. Filling the Profile Over the Lookback Window
On the last bar, the script clears previous drawings and walks backward through the selected lookback window. For each historical bar, it reads the RSI and volume series and feeds them into the profile:
if barstate.islast
myProfile.reset()
int start = math.max(0, bar_index - lookback)
int end = bar_index
for i = 0 to (end - start)
float r = rsi
float v = volume
if not na(r)
myProfile.add(r, v)
The add method converts each RSI value into a bin index and accumulates either a frequency count or the bar volume, depending on the chosen mode:
method add(Profile p, float rsiValue, float volumeValue) =>
int idx = int(rsiValue / (100.0 / p.binCount))
if idx >= p.binCount
idx := p.binCount - 1
if idx < 0
idx := 0
Bin targetBin = p.bins.get(idx)
float addedValue = p.useVolume ? volumeValue : 1.0
targetBin.value += addedValue
3. Finding POC and Building the Value Area
Inside the draw method, the script first scans all bins to determine the maximum value and the total sum. The bin with the highest value becomes the POC. The value area is then constructed by expanding from that center bin until the desired percentage of total activity is covered:
for in p.bins
totalVal += b.value
if b.value > maxVal
maxVal := b.value
pocIdx := i
float vaTarget = totalVal * (p.vaPercent / 100.0)
float currentVaVol = maxVal
int upIdx = pocIdx
int downIdx = pocIdx
while currentVaVol < vaTarget
float upVol = (upIdx < p.binCount - 1) ? p.bins.get(upIdx + 1).value : 0.0
float downVol = (downIdx > 0) ? p.bins.get(downIdx - 1).value : 0.0
if upVol == 0 and downVol == 0
break
if upVol >= downVol
upIdx += 1
currentVaVol += upVol
else
downIdx -= 1
currentVaVol += downVol
PoC Migration Map [BackQuant]PoC Migration Map
A volume structure tool that builds a side volume profile, extracts rolling Points of Control (PoCs), and maps how those PoCs migrate through time so you can see where value is moving, how volume clusters shift, and how that aligns with trend regime.
What this is
This indicator combines a classic volume profile with a segmented PoC trail. It looks back over a configurable window, splits that window into bins by price, and shows you where volume has concentrated. On top of that, it slices the lookback into fixed bar segments, finds the local PoC in each segment, and plots those PoCs as a chain of nodes across the chart.
The result is a "migration map" of value:
A side volume profile that shows how volume is distributed over the recent price range.
A sequence of PoC nodes that show where local value has been accepted over time.
Lines that connect those PoCs to reveal the path of value migration.
Optional trend coloring based on EMA 12 and EMA 21, so each PoC also encodes trend regime.
Used together, this gives you a structural read on where the market has actually traded size, how "value" is moving, and whether that movement is aligned or fighting the current trend.
Core components
Lookback volume profile - a side histogram built from all closes and volumes in the chosen lookback window.
Segmented PoC trail - rolling PoCs computed over fixed bar segments, plotted as nodes in time.
Trend heatmap - optional color mapping of PoC nodes using EMA 12 versus EMA 21.
PoC labels - optional labels on every Nth PoC for easier reading and referencing.
How it works
1) Global lookback and binning
You choose:
Lookback Bars - how far back to collect data.
Number of Bins - how finely to split the price range.
The script:
Finds the highest high and lowest low in the lookback.
Computes the total price range and divides it into equal binCount slices.
Assigns each bar's close and volume into the appropriate price bin.
This creates a discretized volume distribution across the entire lookback.
2) Side volume profile
If "Show Side Profile" is enabled, a right-hand volume profile is drawn:
Each bin becomes a horizontal bar anchored at a configurable "Right Offset" from the current bar.
The horizontal width of each bar is proportional to that bin's volume relative to the maximum volume bin.
Optionally, volume values and percentages are printed inside the profile bars.
Color and transparency are controlled by:
Base Profile Color and its transparency.
A gradient that uses relative volume to modulate opacity between lower volume and higher volume bins.
Profile Width (%) - how wide the maximum bin can extend in bars.
This gives you an at-a-glance view of the volume landscape for the chosen lookback window.
3) Segmenting for PoC migration
To build the PoC trail, the lookback is divided into segments:
Bars per Segment - bars in each local cluster.
Number of Segments - how many segments you want to see back in time.
For each segment:
The script uses the same price bins and accumulates volume only from bars in that segment.
It finds the bin with the highest volume in that segment, which is the local PoC for that segment.
It sets the PoC price to the center of that bin.
It finds the "mid bar" of the segment and places the PoC node at that time on the chart.
This is repeated for each segment from older to newer, so you get a chain of PoCs that shows how local value has migrated over time.
4) Trend regime and color coding
The indicator precomputes:
EMA 12 (Fast).
EMA 21 (Slow).
For each PoC:
It samples EMA 12 and EMA 21 at the mid bar of that segment.
It computes a simple trend score as fast EMA minus slow EMA.
If trend heatmap is enabled, PoC nodes (and the lines between them) are colored by:
Trend Up Color if EMA 12 is above EMA 21.
Trend Down Color if EMA 12 is below EMA 21.
Trend Flat Color if they are roughly equal.
If the trend heatmap is disabled, PoC color is instead based on PoC migration:
If the current PoC is above the previous PoC, use the Up PoC Color.
If the current PoC is below the previous PoC, use the Down PoC Color.
If unchanged, use the Flat PoC Color.
5) Connecting PoCs and labels
Once PoC prices and times are known:
Each PoC is connected to the previous one with a dotted line, using the PoC's color.
Optional labels are placed next to every Nth PoC:
Label text uses a simple "PoC N" scheme.
Label background uses a configurable label background color.
Label border is colored by the PoC's own color for visual consistency.
This turns the PoCs into a visual path that can be read like a "value trajectory" across the chart.
What it plots
When fully enabled, you will see:
A right-sided volume profile for the chosen lookback window, built from volume by price.
Colored horizontal bars representing each price bin's relative volume.
Optional volume text showing each bin's volume and its percentage of the profile maximum.
A series of PoC nodes spaced across the chart at the mid point of each segment.
Dotted lines connecting those PoCs to show the migration path of value.
Optional PoC labels at each Nth node for easier reference.
Color-coding of PoCs and lines either by EMA 12 / 21 trend regime or by up/down PoC drift.
Reading PoC migration and market pressure
Side profile as a pressure map
The side profile shows where trading has been most active:
Thick, opaque bars represent high volume zones and possible high interest or acceptance areas.
Thin, faint bars represent low volume zones, potential rejection or transition areas.
When price trades near a high volume bin, the market is sitting on an area of prior acceptance and size.
When price moves quickly through low volume bins, it often does so with less friction.
This gives you a static map of where the market has been willing to do business within your lookback.
PoC trail as a value migration map
The PoC chain represents "where value has lived" over time:
An upward sloping PoC trail indicates value migrating higher. Buyers have been willing to transact at increasingly higher prices.
A downward sloping trail indicates value migrating lower and sellers pushing the center of mass down.
A flat or oscillating trail indicates balance or rotational behaviour, with no clear directional acceptance.
Taken together, you can interpret:
Side profile as "where the volume mass sits", a static pressure field.
PoC trail as "how that mass has moved", the dynamic path of value.
Trend heatmap as a regime overlay
When PoCs are colored by the EMA 12 / 21 spread:
Green PoCs mark segments where the faster EMA is above the slower EMA, that is, a local uptrend regime.
Red PoCs mark segments where the faster EMA is below the slower EMA, that is, a local downtrend regime.
Gray PoCs mark flat or ambiguous trend segments.
This lets you answer questions like:
"Is value migrating higher while the trend regime is also up?" (trend confirming value).
"Is value migrating higher but most PoCs are red?" (value against the prevailing trend).
"Has value started to roll over just as PoCs flip from green to red?" (early regime transition).

Trading applications
1) Value migration and trend confirmation
Use the PoC path to see if value is following price or lagging it:
In a healthy uptrend, price, PoCs, and trend regime should all lean higher.
In a weakening trend, price may still move up, but PoCs flatten or start drifting lower, suggesting fewer participants are accepting the new highs.
In a downtrend, persistent downward PoC migration confirms that sellers are winning the value battle.
2) Identifying acceptance and rejection zones
Combine the side profile with PoC locations:
High volume bins near clustered PoCs mark strong acceptance zones, good areas to watch for re-tests and decision points.
PoCs that quickly jump across low volume areas can indicate rejection and fast repricing between value zones.
High volume zones with mixed PoC colors may signal balance or prolonged negotiation.
3) Structuring entries and exits
Use the map to refine trade location:
Fade trades against value migration are higher risk unless you see clear signs of exhaustion or regime change.
Pullbacks into prior PoC zones in the direction of the current PoC slope can offer higher quality entries.
Stops placed beyond major accepted zones (clusters of PoCs and high volume bins) are less likely to be hit by random noise.
4) Regime transitions
Watch how PoCs behave as the EMA regime changes:
A flip in EMA 12 versus EMA 21, coupled with a turn in PoC slope, is a strong signal that value is beginning to move with the new trend.
If EMAs flip but PoC migration does not follow, the trend signal may be early or false.
A weakening PoC path (lower highs in PoCs) while trend colors are still green can warn of a late-stage trend.
Best practices
Start with a moderate lookback such as 200 to 300 bars and a moderate bin count such as 20 to 40. Too many bins can make the profile overly granular and sparse.
Align "Bars per Segment" with your trading horizon. For example, 5 to 10 bars for intraday, 10 to 20 bars for swing.
Use the profile and PoC trail as structural context rather than as a direct buy or sell signal. Combine with your existing setups for timing.
Pay attention to clusters of PoCs at similar prices. Those are areas where the market has repeatedly accepted value, and they often matter on future tests.
Notes
This is a structural volume tool, not a complete trading system. It does not manage execution, position sizing or risk management. Use it to understand:
Where the bulk of trading has occurred in your chosen window.
How the center of volume has migrated over time.
Whether that migration is aligned with or fighting the current trend regime.
By turning PoC evolution into a visible path and adding a trend-aware heatmap, the PoC Migration Map makes it easier to see how value has been moving, where the market is likely to feel "heavy" or "light", and how that structure fits into your trading decisions.
mrD-Volume Profile HeatmapThis indicator combines advanced volume analysis with institutional-grade visualization techniques to provide traders with a comprehensive view of market structure and liquidity zones.
WHAT MAKES THIS UNIQUE:
• Proprietary bidirectional volume profiling algorithm that separates buying and selling pressure using VWAP deviation analysis, not standard volume bars
• Custom heatmap visualization engine with adaptive gradient calculation based on volume-weighted price distribution across multiple timeframes
• Integrated Weekly VWAP with hlc3 weighting for institutional reference levels
• Dynamic POC (Point of Control) detection with fixed-height text boxes for clarity
• Optimized rendering system that handles 500+ bars efficiently without lag
HOW IT WORKS:
The algorithm analyzes volume distribution at each price level within the lookback period, applying a proprietary weighting system that considers:
1. Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) deviation to classify volume as bullish/bearish
2. Price levels are binned into customizable rows (bins) for granular analysis
3. Volume bars extend bidirectionally: positive volume (green) extends left, negative volume (red) extends right
4. Heatmap overlay uses multi-level gradient mapping (6-color spectrum) to highlight high volume nodes
5. Weekly VWAP provides macro trend reference with session-based reset logic
VOLUME PROFILE MECHANICS:
• Calculates volume distribution across price levels using a grid-based binning system
• Each bin accumulates volume when the price touches that level
• Positive/negative classification based on VWAP position (above = bullish, below = bearish)
• POC automatically identifies the price level with maximum volume concentration
• Display shows volume intensity through color gradients and bar lengths
HEATMAP VISUALIZATION:
• Uses exponential gradient multiplier (default 1.9) for enhanced contrast
• Color transitions: Dark Blue (low volume) → Cyan → Green → Yellow (high volume)
• Transparency-adjusted overlays ensure chart readability
• Real-time updates as new volume data arrives
WEEKLY VWAP INTEGRATION:
• Resets at the start of each trading week (request.security logic)
• Uses hlc3 (typical price) as the volume-weighted source
• Provides institutional reference level for swing traders
• Yellow color (#FFEB3B) for easy identification
KEY PARAMETERS:
• Period: Lookback window for volume calculations (default: 500 bars)
• Bins: Number of price levels for volume distribution (default: 150 rows)
• Offset: Horizontal positioning of volume bars (default: 50)
• Heatmap Rows: Granularity of heatmap overlay (default: 250)
• POC displays actual volume numbers for transparency
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
→ Identify high-volume nodes as support/resistance zones
→ Detect liquidity clusters where institutional orders concentrate
→ Spot low-volume areas where price may move quickly (thin zones)
→ Use bidirectional volume to assess buying vs selling pressure
→ Combine with Weekly VWAP for multi-timeframe confluence
→ POC levels often act as price magnets (mean reversion targets)
TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION NOTES:
• Optimized for intraday to swing timeframes (1m to Daily charts)
• Volume calculations use session-based accumulation (no future data)
• Box rendering is limited to 500 objects for performance
• Gradient calculations use mathematical power functions for smooth transitions
• VWAP calculation follows institutional standard (volume-weighted hlc3)

MFI Volume Profile [Kodexius]The MFI Volume Profile indicator blends a classic volume profile with the Money Flow Index so you can see not only where volume traded, but also how strong the buying or selling pressure was at those prices. Instead of showing a simple horizontal histogram of volume, this tool adds a money flow dimension and turns the profile into a price volume momentum heat map.
The script scans a user controlled lookback window and builds a set of price levels between the lowest and highest price in that period. For every bar inside that window, its volume is distributed across the price levels that the bar actually touched, and that volume is combined with the bar’s MFI value. This creates a volume weighted average MFI for each price level, so every row of the profile knows both how much volume traded there and what the typical money flow condition was when that volume appeared.
On the chart, the indicator plots a stack of horizontal boxes to the right of current price. The length of each box represents the relative amount of volume at that price, while the color represents the average MFI there. Levels with stronger positive money flow will lean toward warmer shades, and levels with weaker or negative money flow will lean toward cooler or more neutral shades inside the configured MFI band. Each row is also labeled in the format Volume , so you can instantly read the exact volume and money flow value at that level instead of guessing.
This gives you a detailed map of where the market really cared about price, and whether that interest came with strong inflow or outflow. It can help you spot areas of accumulation, distribution, absorption, or exhaustion, and it does so in a compact visual that sits next to price without cluttering the candles themselves.
Features
Combined volume profile and MFI weighting
The indicator builds a volume profile over a user selected lookback and enriches each price row with a volume weighted average MFI. This lets you study both participation and money flow at the same price level.
Volume distributed across the bar price range
For every bar in the window, volume is not assigned to a single price. Instead, it is proportionally distributed across all price rows between the bar low and bar high. This creates a smoother and more realistic profile of where trading actually happened.
MFI based color gradient between 30 and 70
Each price row is colored according to its average MFI. The gradient is anchored between MFI values of 30 and 70, which covers typical oversold, neutral and overbought zones. This makes strong demand or distribution areas easier to spot visually.
Configurable structure resolution and depth
Main user inputs are the lookback length, the number of rows, the width of the profile in bars, and the label text size. You can quickly switch between coarse profiles for a big picture and higher resolution profiles for detailed structure.
Numeric labels with volume and MFI per row
Every box is labeled with the total volume at that level and the average MFI for that level, in the format Volume . This gives you exact values while still keeping the visual profile clean and compact.
Calculations
Money Flow Index calculation
currentMfi is calculated once using ta.mfi(hlc3, mfiLen) as usual,
Creation of the profileBins array
The script creates an array named profileBins that will hold one VPBin element per price row.
Each VPBin contains
volume which is the total volume accumulated at that price row
mfiProduct which is the sum of volume multiplied by MFI for that row
The loop;
for i = 0 to rowCount - 1 by 1
array.push(profileBins, VPBin.new(0.0, 0.0))
pre allocates a clean structure with zero values for all rows.
Finding highest and lowest price across the lookback
The script starts from the current bar high and low, then walks backward through the lookback window
for i = 0 to lookback - 1 by 1
highestPrice := math.max(highestPrice, high )
lowestPrice := math.min(lowestPrice, low )
After this loop, highestPrice and lowestPrice define the full price range covered by the chosen lookback.
Price range and step size for rows
The code computes
float rangePrice = highestPrice - lowestPrice
rangePrice := rangePrice == 0 ? syminfo.mintick : rangePrice
float step = rangePrice / rowCount
rangePrice is the total height of the profile in price terms. If the range is zero, the script replaces it with the minimum tick size for the symbol. Then step is the price height of each row. This step size is used to map any price into a row index.
Processing each bar in the lookback
For every bar index i inside the lookback, the script checks that currentMfi is not missing. If it is valid, it reads the bar high, low, volume and MFI
float barTop = high
float barBottom = low
float barVol = volume
float barMfi = currentMfi
Mapping bar prices to bin indices
The bar high and low are converted into row indices using the known lowestPrice and step
int indexTop = math.floor((barTop - lowestPrice) / step)
int indexBottom = math.floor((barBottom - lowestPrice) / step)
Then the indices are clamped into valid bounds so they stay between zero and rowCount - 1. This ensures that every bar contributes only inside the profile range
Splitting bar volume across all covered bins
Once the top and bottom indices are known, the script calculates how many rows the bar spans
int coveredBins = indexTop - indexBottom + 1
float volPerBin = barVol / coveredBins
float mfiPerBin = volPerBin * barMfi
Here the total bar volume is divided equally across all rows that the bar touches. For each of those rows, the same fraction of volume and volume times MFI is used.
Accumulating into each VPBin
Finally, a nested loop iterates from indexBottom to indexTop and updates the corresponding VPBin
for k = indexBottom to indexTop by 1
VPBin binData = array.get(profileBins, k)
binData.volume := binData.volume + volPerBin
binData.mfiProduct := binData.mfiProduct + mfiPerBin
Over all bars in the lookback window, each row builds up
total volume at that price range
total volume times MFI at that price range
Later, during the drawing stage, the script computes
avgMfi = bin.mfiProduct / bin.volume
for each row. This is the volume weighted average MFI used both for coloring the box and for the numeric MFI value shown in the label Volume .
Hidden Volume Profile[52Signal Recipe]─────────────────────────────────────
52SIGNAL RECIPE Hidden Volume Profile
◆ Overview
52SIGNAL RECIPE Smart Volume Profile is an advanced volume distribution indicator that visualizes buying and selling strength across different price levels. Unlike traditional volume profiles that only display total volume, this enhanced version separates buy volume and sell volume at each price level, revealing the hidden balance of market forces at specific prices.
Built on the same sophisticated calculation methodology as our Hidden Volume Detector, this indicator applies enhanced volume analysis to the Volume Profile framework. By displaying horizontal volume bars (green for buying, red for selling) at each price level in a separate panel, it provides clear insight into where market participants accumulated or distributed their positions.
Furthermore, when used alongside the Hidden Volume Detector that shows individual candle analysis, it enables traders to understand both micro-level (candle-by-candle) and macro-level (price-level) market dynamics comprehensively, supporting more effective trading strategies.
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Key Features
Price-Level Volume Distribution: Displays horizontal volume bars at each price level, showing where the most trading activity occurred
Buy/Sell Volume Separation: Green bars represent buying volume (bullish pressure), red bars represent selling volume (bearish pressure) at each price level
POC (Point of Control) Identification: Automatically marks the price level with the highest total volume, acting as a strong support/resistance level
Enhanced Buy/Sell Calculation: Analyzes candle structure, position, and momentum to distinguish genuine buying pressure from selling pressure, using the same algorithm as Hidden Volume Detector
Customizable Display: Adjustable number of price levels (rows), analysis period (lookback bars), color customization, and POC line toggle
Magnet Effect Visualization: Shows how price gravitates toward high-volume areas, particularly the POC
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Trading Application Points
Identify strong support zones where large green bars indicate buyer accumulation
Identify strong resistance zones where large red bars indicate seller distribution
Use POC as a key pivot point for support/resistance trading
Detect volume imbalances at specific price levels to find bullish or bearish zones
Combine with Hidden Volume Detector for complete analysis: individual candle timing (Hidden Volume) + price level zones (Volume Profile)
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Synergy With Other Indicators
Use with Hidden Volume Detector for multi-dimensional volume analysis: candle-level detail + price-level overview
Combine with trend indicators (Moving Averages, MACD) to validate support/resistance levels in trending markets
Use with price action patterns to confirm breakout or reversal signals at key volume levels
─────────────────────────────────────
◆ Conclusion
52SIGNAL RECIPE Smart Volume Profile is a powerful and intuitive tool that reveals the distribution of buying and selling forces across price levels. By visualizing buy and sell volumes separately at each price level and identifying the POC, it allows traders to understand where market participants made their decisions and where key support/resistance levels exist.

Low Volatility Profiles [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Low Volatility Profiles is a market compression and breakout-anticipation tool that identifies phases of low volatility using ADX and then builds a real-time volume profile inside the detected range.
This helps traders spot accumulation/distribution zones and prepare for explosive moves when volatility expands.
When volatility is low ➜ price coils ➜ volume organizes ➜ breakouts become highly actionable.
This tool visualizes that process with dynamic range boxes + volume bins + PoC extension.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Low-Volatility Detection — Uses ADX threshold & cross logic to define volatility contraction regimes.
Range Construction — Draws a price box that expands with highs/lows during the compression phase.
Micro Volume Profile — Builds a volume histogram inside the range using bins (micro volume nodes).
Delta Calculation — Tracks positive vs negative volume to gauge buyer/seller pressure within range.
Point of Control (PoC) — Highlights the price level with max traded volume inside the range.
PoC Extension — Optionally extends PoC into future bars to show potential reaction zone after breakout.
Breakout Validation — Ends the profile zone when price breaks above or below the modeled range.
Noise Removal — Automatically removes invalid or small ranges to prevent chart clutter.
This tool turns consolidation into actionable structure by exposing where smart money accumulates before trending moves.
🔵 FEATURES
ADX-Driven Range Detection — Identify when market transitions into low-volatility compression.
Configurable ADX Threshold — Set sensitivity for contraction zones.
Cross-Type Option — Detect low volatility via cross under / crossover logic.
Dynamic Range Box — Expands live with price as contraction unfolds.
Micro Volume Profile (Bins) — Distributes volume across bins inside range for micro POC mapping.
Volume Delta Visualization — Shows imbalance inside consolidation (accumulation vs distribution).
Real-Time PoC Highlight — Instantly shows most traded price inside the compression.
PoC Extension Mode — Extend PoC forward to project reaction levels post-breakout.
Clean Auto-Reset Logic — Removes boxes if range invalid or breakout occurs too fast.
Optional Filled Boxes — Heatmap-style profile visualization inside range body.
ADX Line + Threshold Plot — Visual assistance for volatility state monitoring.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Identify Accumulation Zones — When price enters low-volatility ADX condition and profile builds.
Watch the PoC — PoC acts as battle zone; move above/below can signal initiator strength.
Breakout Strategy — Trade break above/below the range after compression.
Mean Reversion Inside Range — Fade edges while price remains inside compression box.
Combine With Trend Tools — Use trend confirmation (MA/EMA/Flow indicators) after breakout.
Use Delta Clues — Positive delta tilt suggests accumulation; negative suggests distribution.
Monitor Range Size — Longer build + high PoC volume = stronger potential breakout energy.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Low Volatility Profiles isolates accumulation phases and maps volume concentration before volatility expansion.
By combining ADX compression, micro volume distribution, and PoC tracing, traders gain an edge in anticipating powerful breakout cycles and institutional positioning.
Trade the quiet moment before the storm — where smart money prepares the move, and the real opportunity emerges.
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 Dynamics Pro [ChartNation]Volume Dynamics Pro by ChartNation is an advanced volume profile indicator that visualizes volume distribution across price levels using a proprietary mirrored butterfly design. The indicator identifies high-volume nodes (areas of significant trading activity) and the Point of Control (POC) - the price level with the highest traded volume within the lookback period.
KEY FEATURES:
Dynamic Volume Profile: Displays volume distribution across 25 price bins with a mirrored butterfly visualization that extends into future bars for forward-looking analysis
Point of Control (POC): Automatically identifies and highlights the price level with maximum volume, featuring a pulsing animation and optional price label with customizable positioning
Multiple Anchoring Modes: Choose between Rolling, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Session-based profile calculations to match your trading timeframe
Smart Range Calculation: Three range modes (Fixed Lookback, Hybrid Smart, Percentage-Based) automatically adjust the volume profile range based on recent price action
Volume-Responsive Visualization: Line thickness and glow intensity scale with volume magnitude, making high-volume areas immediately visible
Premium Statistics Box: Real-time display of POC price, total volume, range metrics, and price position relative to POC
Advanced Alert System: Configurable alerts for POC crosses, range breakouts, high-volume zone entries, and volume spikes
Professional Styling: Volume-based line styles (solid/dashed/dotted), gradient bias coloring (support/resistance), dual-tone depth borders, and customizable glow effects
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator divides the price range into 25 bins and calculates total volume traded at each level. The mirrored butterfly profile displays this distribution, with wider sections indicating higher volume. The POC line marks the price with maximum activity - a critical level often acting as support or resistance.
Volume traces are color-coded: green tint below current price (potential support), red tint above (potential resistance). The intensity of coloring increases as price approaches each level, helping traders identify nearby high-volume zones.
USE CASES:
Identify institutional order flow and accumulation/distribution zones
Locate high-probability support and resistance levels based on actual trading activity
Track POC shifts to understand changing market structure
Confirm breakout validity by analyzing volume at key price levels
Optimize entry/exit points around high-volume nodes
SETTINGS OVERVIEW:
The indicator offers extensive customization across multiple groups: POC styling and extensions, statistics box display, profile anchoring, range calculation modes, alert configuration, line styles, volume-proportional thickness, gradient bias, glow system, depth borders, POC pulse animation, and volume profile display parameters.
