Linear Regression Volume Profile [ChartPrime]LR VolumeProfile
This indicator combines a Linear Regression channel with a dynamic volume profile, giving traders a powerful way to visualize both directional price movement and volume concentration along the trend.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Linear Regression Channel: Draws a statistically fitted channel to track the market trend over a defined period.
Volume Profile Overlay: Splits the channel into multiple horizontal levels and calculates volume traded within each level.
Percentage-Based Labels: Displays each level's share of total volume as a percentage, offering a clean way to see high and low volume zones.
Gradient Bars: Profile bars are colored using a gradient scale from yellow (low volume) to red (high volume), making it easy to identify key interest areas.
Adjustable Profile Width and Resolution: Users can change the width of profile bars and spacing between levels.
Channel Direction Indicator: An arrow inside a floating label shows the direction (up or down) of the current linear regression slope.
Level Style Customization: Choose from solid, dashed, or dotted lines for visual preference.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Use the Linear Regression channel to determine the dominant price trend direction.
Analyze the volume bars to spot key levels where the majority of volume was traded—these act as potential support/resistance zones.
Pay attention to the largest profile bars—these often mark zones of institutional interest or price consolidation.
The arrow label helps quickly assess whether the trend is upward or downward.
Combine this tool with price action or momentum indicators to build high-confidence trading setups.
⯁ CONCLUSION
LR Volume Profile is a precision tool for traders who want to merge trend analysis with volume insight. By integrating linear regression trendlines with a clean and readable volume distribution, this indicator helps traders find price levels that matter the most—backed by volume, trend, and structure. Whether you're spotting high-volume nodes or gauging directional flow, this toolkit elevates your decision-making process with clarity and depth.
Dynamic Volume Profile Oscillator | AlphaAlgosDynamic Volume Profile Oscillator | AlphaAlgos
Overview
The Dynamic Volume Profile Oscillator is an advanced technical analysis tool that transforms traditional volume analysis into a responsive oscillator. By creating a dynamic volume profile and measuring price deviation from volume-weighted equilibrium levels, this indicator provides traders with powerful insights into market momentum and potential reversals.
Key Features
• Volume-weighted price deviation analysis
• Adaptive midline that adjusts to changing market conditions
• Beautiful gradient visualization with 10-level intensity zones
• Fast and slow signal lines for trend confirmation
• Mean reversion mode that identifies price extremes relative to volume
• Fully customizable sensitivity and smoothing parameters
Technical Components
1. Volume Profile Analysis
The indicator builds a dynamic volume profile by:
• Collecting recent price and volume data within a specified lookback period
• Calculating a volume-weighted mean price (similar to VWAP)
• Measuring how far current price has deviated from this weighted average
• Adjusting this deviation based on historical volatility
2. Oscillator Calculation
The oscillator offers two calculation methods:
• Mean Reversion Mode (default): Measures deviation from volume-weighted mean price, normalized to reflect potential overbought/oversold conditions
• Standard Mode : Normalizes volume activity to identify unusual volume patterns
3. Adaptive Zones
The indicator features dynamic zones that:
• Center around an adaptive midline that reflects the average oscillator value
• Expand and contract based on recent volatility (standard deviation)
• Visually represent intensity through multi-level gradient coloring
• Provide clear visualization of bullish/bearish extremes
4. Signal Generation
Trading signals are generated through:
• Main oscillator line position relative to the adaptive midline
• Crossovers between fast (5-period) and slow (15-period) signal lines
• Color changes that instantly identify trend direction
• Distance from the midline indicating trend strength
Configuration Options
Volume Analysis Settings:
• Price Source - Select which price data to analyze
• Volume Source - Define volume data source
• Lookback Period - Number of bars for main calculations
• Profile Calculation Periods - Frequency of profile recalculation
Oscillator Settings:
• Smoothing Length - Controls oscillator smoothness
• Sensitivity - Adjusts responsiveness to price/volume changes
• Mean Reversion Mode - Toggles calculation methodology
Threshold Settings:
• Adaptive Midline - Uses dynamic midline based on historical values
• Midline Period - Lookback period for midline calculation
• Zone Width Multiplier - Controls width of bullish/bearish zones
Display Settings:
• Color Bars - Option to color price bars based on trend direction
Trading Strategies
Trend Following:
• Enter long positions when the oscillator crosses above the adaptive midline
• Enter short positions when the oscillator crosses below the adaptive midline
• Use signal line crossovers for entry timing
• Monitor gradient intensity to gauge trend strength
Mean Reversion Trading:
• Look for oscillator extremes shown by intense gradient colors
• Prepare for potential reversals when the oscillator reaches upper/lower zones
• Use divergences between price and oscillator for confirmation
• Consider scaling positions based on gradient intensity
Volume Analysis:
• Use Standard Mode to identify unusual volume patterns
• Confirm breakouts when accompanied by strong oscillator readings
• Watch for divergences between price and volume-based readings
• Use extended periods in extreme zones as trend confirmation
Best Practices
• Adjust sensitivity based on the asset's typical volatility
• Use longer smoothing for swing trading, shorter for day trading
• Combine with support/resistance levels for optimal entry/exit points
• Consider multiple timeframe analysis for comprehensive market view
• Test different profile calculation periods to match your trading style

Volume Analysis - Heatmap and Volume ProfileHello All!
I have a new toy for you! Volume Analysis - Heatmap and Volume Profile . Honestly I started to work to develop Volume Heatmap then I decided to improve it and add more features such Volume profile, volume, difference in Buy/Sell volumes etc. I tried to put my abilities into this script and tried to use some new Pine Language™ features ( method, force_overlay, enum etc features ). I hope the usage of these new features would be an example for Pine Programmers.
Lets talk about how it works:
- It gets number of Rows/Columns from the user for each candle to create heatmap
- It calculates the number of the candles to analyze. Number of the candles may change by number of Rows/columns or if any volume / difference in volumes / volume profile is enabled
- It gets Closing/Opening price, Volume and Time info from lower time frame for each candle ( it can be up to 100K for each candle )
- After getting the data it calculates lower time frame to analyze
- Then it calculates how closing price moves, how much volume on each move and create boxes by the volume/move in each box
- The colors for each box calculated by volume info and closing price movements in the lower time frame
- It shows the boxes on Absolute places or Zero Line optionally
- it shows Volume, Cumulative volume, Difference between Buy/Sell volume for each column
- it changes empty box color by Chart background color, also you can change transparency
- At this time it creates Volume Profile with up to 25 rows
- As a new Pine Language™ feature, it can show Volume Profile in the indicator window or in Main chart, shows Value Area, Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and draw it and POC (Point Of Control) in the indicator window and/or in the main chart
- Honestly the feature I like is that: For the markets that are not open 24/7, it combines the data from the lower time period without any gaps. For example, if you work for a market that is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, it ensures data integrity by omitting weekends and holidays. so for example if the data is like "ABC---DEF-X---YL-Z" then it makes this data like "ABCDEFXYLZ". In this way, there will be no data breaks in the displayed boxes, there will be no empty colons, and it will appear as if data is coming in at any time.
- Finally it shows Info Panel to give info, its background color automatically changes by the Chart background color
- Important! You should set your "Plan" accordingly, your plan is "Premium or Higher" or "Lower tier". so the script can understand the minimum time frame it can get data!!
I tried to share many screenshots below to explain it much better
How it looks?
it shows Highest Buy/Sell volumes brighter, move volume -> brighter
Volume Profile ( up to 25 row s) ( number of contained candles should be more than 1 )
Volume Profile can be shown in the main chart optionally
How the main chart looks:
Closing price shown and you can enable it, change colors & line width
Can include many candles according to Row&Column number you set
Optionally it can show cumulative volume for each candle
Closing prices from lower time frame
Shows Candle Body by changing background colors
It can shows all included candles on Zero line
You can change the colors of many things
You can set Empty box and border transparency
Table, Empty box Colors adjustment done automatically by chart background color
Sometimes we can not get data from some historical candles if time frame is high such 2days, 1 week etc, and it looks like:
It also checks if Chart time frame and Chart type is suitable
Enjoy!
EM Visible Range Volume Profile█ OVERVIEW
ᴇᴍ VRVP (Visible Range Volume Profile) indicator calculates the volume profile within the visible range of prices.
Volume Profile is an advanced technical analysis indicator that shows trading activity over a specified period of time at certain price levels.
The indicator plots a histogram on the chart that reflects dominant or significant price levels based that are based on volume.
VP concept
VP Components
Open, High, Low, Close:
There are different types of volume profile indicators but the majority of them will designate the OHLC.
Point of Control:
A price level with the most traded volume during one session, also known as POC.
High Volume Node (HVN):
Area of high volume relative to surrounding price action.
Low Volume Node (LVN):
Area of low volume relative to surrounding price action.
Analysis of price in relation to high and low volume nodes is useful when building context around your trades.
█ VOLUME PROFILE STRATEGIES
The distribution of a volume profile can help you determine the strength of a trend and spot potential reversal zones. Let’s take a look at the five different distribution types.
Neutral D
In order for price to break away from value, either the buyers or the sellers will have to become more aggressive than the other side. When this occurs, it gives us with a vital piece of information.
Now we know who were the agressors at this price level: either the buyers or the sellers. That's why this is a good level for a trading setup if the price bounces back.
Bearish P and Bullish P
Bearish P — reversal. Bullish P — confirmation.
Bearish Ь and Bullish Ь
Bearish Ь — confirmation. Bullish Ь — reversal.
Examples
█ INPUTS

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.
VIPER DOPING - A Volume Profile to estimate trend probabilityDESCRIPTION :
VIPER DOPING uses volume analysis to help trader to understand trading keys below:
Support and Resistance
Profit and Loss
Estimate candle direction
Trend
Biggest Buy and Sell on level prices
HOW TO USE:
The volume bar will have buy and sell colors, by default the buy color is blue and the sell is red. The size of bar is important matter, the biggest bar size means that price level has strong volume or transaction and the smallest bar size indicates the lowest transaction or volume. How to read it?
The bar above the candle is the resistance
The bar below the candle is the support
If you want long the market, find the biggest or bigger support, which is below the candle
If you want short the market, find the biggest or bigger resistance which is above the candle
Trading style and the maximum range (total candle), default is 60. This setup to analyze volumes in specific candle range. Please check the following recommendation based on trading style:
Scalping: 30 - 60 candles, recommendation timeframe: 5m - 1h
Day Trading: 50 - 120 candles, recommendation timeframe: 30m - 4h
Swing Trading: 100- 240 candles, recommendation timeframe: 1h- 3D
The white box is to visualize trading area by total candle. Every line has the meaning:
The left line is the start candle
The right line is the end candle
The top line is the highest price of volume profile
The bottom line is the lowest price of volume profile
The fibonacci line will help you to confirm and compare of supports and resistances with the volume profile lines.
The TABLE CELLS
it contains information to help trader to understand the recent situation of market and to take strategy of trading:
Total Candle : the maximum candles are used to analyze the volume from previous active candle
Biggest Sell : the horizontal price area which has the largest of sell volume of the last total candle
Biggest Buy : the horizontal price area which has the largest of buy volume of the last total candle
Buy Rate : the ratio of buy and sell volume of the last total candle
Support: the closest price to be the support from the active candle, auto changed if support to be invalid
Resistance : the closest price to be the resistance from the active candle, auto changed if support to be invalid
PnL : the percentage profit if you trade using the support and resistance prices and it can be used for Risk Management. Wisely the risk is 50% of the profit, example if the profit 1% the your risk should be 0.5% from entry.
Estimate : to analize the next direction of candle or target, it will be changed automatically by volume condition.
CONFIGURATION:
Table Position : You can change the table position to top or bottom, to left, right or center
Calculation : You can include the active candle in volume calculation or you can choose the behind active candle. If you use active candle, there could be possible repainting.
The volume profile configuration is about appearance configuration, to setup the thickness, colors, position.
The fibonacci configuration is about appearance configuration, to setup the thickness, extend lines, label styles.
Linear Regression Volume ProfileLinear Regression Volume Profile plots the volume profile fixated on the linear regression of the lookback period rather than statically across y = 0. This helps identify potential support and resistance inside of the price channel.
Settings
Linear Regression
Linear Regression Source: the price source in which to sample when calculating the linear regression
Length: the number of bars to sample when calculating the linear regression
Deviation: the number of standard deviations away from the linear regression line to draw the upper and lower bounds
Linear Regression
Rows: the number of rows to divide the linear regression channel into when calculating the volume profile
Show Point of Control: toggle whether or not to plot the level with highest amount of volume
Usage
Similar to the traditional Linear Regression and Volume Profile this indicator is mainly to determine levels of support and resistance. One may interpret a level with high volume (i.e. point of control) to be a potential reversal point.
Details
This indicator first calculates the linear regression of the specified lookback period and, subsequently, the upper and lower bound of the linear regression channel. It then divides this channel by the specified number of rows and sums the volume that occurs in each row. The volume profile is scaled to the min and max volume.
[potatoshop] Volume Profile lower timeframeThis script is a volume profile that displays the volume of transactions in price blocks over a recent period of time.
For a more detailed representation, OHCLV values on the time frame lower than the time zone on the chart were called and expressed.
Low time frames are adjustable.
You can adjust the number of blocks and the most recent time period that you want to view.
Although it cannot be compared to the volume indicators provided for paid users of Trading-View, it has functioned by displaying transactions that are difficult to find on open source.
Displays the amount traded in each block and the percentage of the total over a given period.
POC represents the middle value of the block with the highest transaction volume as a line.
TPOC represents the block that stayed the longest regardless of the volume of transaction.
The reversal line appears when you determine the trading advantage of the rising and falling closing on a block basis and then have a different value from the neighboring blocks.
(I didn't mean it much, but I just put it in for fun.)
It represents the total volume of transactions traded in each block, and there are also check boxes in the settings window that represent the volume of transactions that closed higher and closed lower.
You can specify the color of each block.
The highest and lowest values for the set period and the total sum of each block are displayed at the bottom of the box.
Because it was made using a lot of arrays, the total transaction volume was marked separately to check the value.
When expressing the price block according to the trading volume percentage, it was a pity that the minimum pixel was 1 bar, so it could not be expressed delicately.
Although set to bar_time in Box properties xloc, 1 bar was actually the minimum unit of the X-axis value.
The logic used to place the transaction volume for each block is as follows.
1. Divide the difference between the high and low values of 1 LTF bar by the transaction volume .
2. Find the percentage of this LTF bar within each block.
3. Multiply the ratio by the transaction volume again.
4. Store the value in each block cell.

Dynamic Volume Profile v2 (Up To 60 Channels)Dynamic Volume Profile (DVP) is an advanced charting study that displays trading activity over a specified time period at specified price levels dynamically.
DVP typically based on price and volume information and it combines these factors in a way that displays price, volume and time frame on a single chart dynamically. You can gather a multitude of information with a glance.
The first thing that most traders will use dynamic volume profile for is identifying basic support and resistance levels. It is important to note that using Dynamic Volume Profile as an identifier for support and resistance levels is a reactive method.
Point of Control ( PoC ): It refers to the area in the chart with the most traded volume activity. This is by far the most relevant area you want to monitor as it can help to define the placement of your stops or the areas in the chart where you might find the most pristine entry levels. The highest concentrated area of volume for a particular period of time we will call it PoC or Point of Control and you will be surprised how many times it acts as a wall on a retest. Traders tend to factor this in as an area of support or resistance.
Value Area ( VA ): The range of price levels in which a specified percentage of all volume was traded. By default, the industry standards tends to be 70%.
Value Area High ( VAH ) – The highest price level within the value area.
Value Area Low ( VAL ) – The lowest price level within the value area.
The script creates up to 60 channels according to highest/lowest levels for specified time period and finds the total volume for each channel. Then it calculates Point of Control, Value area and VAH/VAL. the script shows POC channel and Value Area, and you can see VAH/VAL ve all channels optionally.
In this version, number of channels can be changed up to 60 optionally by user

Heatmap Volume ProfileThe Volume Profile with Support/Resistance indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders visually identify support and resistance zones based on volume analysis at specific price levels. Unlike traditional volume indicators that focus on time-based volume, this indicator analyzes the volume traded at various price levels, offering a clearer view of where the strongest buying and selling forces are concentrated.
Key Features:
Volume Heatmap: The indicator displays a colored heatmap that varies based on the volume traded at different price levels. "Hot zones" (red) indicate areas with high volume, while "cold zones" (blue) represent areas with low volume.
Automatic Detection of Support and Resistance Levels: In addition to the heatmap, the indicator automatically detects price levels where the volume reaches a significant threshold. These levels are marked with white lines on the chart, highlighting potential support and resistance zones.
Adjustable Granularity: The number of price bands can be adjusted, allowing for finer or broader volume analysis. This helps customize the analysis based on the volatility of the asset and the chosen time frame.
Configurable Analysis Period: The number of historical bars used for volume analysis can be defined by the user, enabling the analysis of short-term or long-term volume trends.
Customizable Support/Resistance Threshold: A parameter allows you to define the threshold at which a volume level is considered significant enough to be marked as support or resistance.
Indicator Parameters:
Number of Price Bands (Granularity):
This parameter controls how finely the price is divided into bands. The higher the number of bands, the more precise the volume analysis. The default is set to 50 bands.
Color Transparency:
This parameter adjusts the transparency of the heatmap colors, making it easier to read when overlaid on the price chart.
Number of Bars for Analysis:
Defines the historical period used for volume analysis. The default is 200 bars, but it can be adjusted based on your time frame and the asset being analyzed.
Volume Threshold for Support/Resistance:
This setting allows you to define the intensity of volume (between 0.1 and 1.0) necessary for a price level to be marked as support or resistance. This parameter ensures that only the most relevant levels are displayed.
Practical Use:
Identify Support and Resistance Zones: Traders can use the levels marked by this indicator to identify areas where significant volumes have been traded, signaling potential support or resistance. These zones are often where the market may reverse direction or confirm a trend.
Detect Congestion Zones: The heatmap allows traders to easily spot volume congestion zones, where prices tend to stall due to the high concentration of trading at those levels.
Improve Decision-Making: By combining price-level volume analysis, traders can better understand where the market’s key forces are located, allowing for more informed entry and exit strategies.
Example of Use:
Support: If a support line is detected at a price level with high volume, it may represent an area where buyers are heavily concentrated, making it more difficult for the price to break below that level.
Resistance: Conversely, a resistance line indicates a zone where sellers have a significant presence, suggesting that the price may struggle to move above that level without strong momentum.
Target Audience:
This indicator is ideal for:
Day traders looking to spot short-term reversal points based on volume concentration.
Swing traders identifying key zones to place limit orders or stops.
Long-term traders who want to analyze volume clusters over an extended period to determine critical levels to watch.
Conclusion:
The Volume Profile with Support/Resistance indicator is an essential tool for any trader looking to understand how volume behaves at each price level. With its intuitive visualizations and automatically marked levels, this indicator makes it easy to spot important support and resistance zones, helping traders optimize their strategies and anticipate market movements more effectively.
Fibo Levels with Volume Profile and Targets [ChartPrime]The Fib Levels With Volume Profile and Targets (FIVP) is a trading tool designed to provide traders with a unique understanding of price movement and trading volume through the lens of Fibonacci levels. This dynamic indicator merges the concepts of Fibonacci retracement levels with trading volume analytics to offer predictive insights into potential price trajectories.
Features:
1. Fibonacci Levels: The FPI showcases three prominent Fibonacci levels on both sides of the current price, offering an intricate picture of potential support and resistance levels.
2. Support and Resistance Recognition: Harnessing the power of Fibonacci levels, the FPI provides traders with potential areas of support and resistance, aiding in informed decision-making for entries, exits, and stop placements.
3. Customizable Timeframe Settings: In order to cater to different trading strategies and styles, users can manually select their preferred timeframe for the Fibonacci calculations, ensuring optimal relevance and accuracy for their trading approach.
4. Volume Analytics: One of the standout features of the FIVP is its ability to calculate trading volume for every bar that is sandwiched between the top and lower Fibonacci levels. This ensures traders have a clear vision of where the majority of trading activity is occurring, lending weight to the credibility of the displayed support and resistance zones.
5. Volume-Derived Price Targeting: The Possible Target Arrow function is an innovative feature. By analyzing and comparing the trading volume in the bearish and bullish zones, it provides an arrow indicating the potential direction the market might take. If the bull volume surpasses the bear volume, the market is likely skewing bullish and vice versa.
Usage
Ideal for both novice and seasoned traders, the FPI offers a rich tapestry of information. It allows for refined technical analysis, more precise entries and exits, and a holistic view of the interplay between price and trading volume. Whether you're scalping, day trading, or swing trading, the Fibonacci Profile Indicator is designed to enhance your trading strategy, providing a comprehensive perspective of the market's potential movements.
Anchored Volume Profile by DGTAnchored Volume Profile aims to display trading activity at specific price levels over specified anchored periods of trading, where anchor period can be set to auto or users can specify anchor periods of their interest (Day (Session), Week, Quarter or Year)
Anchored Volume Profile is plotted as two horizontal histograms on the finacial isntrumnet's chart that highlights the trader's common interest at specific price levels as well as aims to reveal dominant party, bulls or bears

Session Volume Profile v1.0This script is a continuous Real Time Session Based (1D) Volume Profile . It emulates TV's built in Volume Profile Session Volume function.
It looks at the real time volume for a given session (1 day) and updates the following three elements for that day in real time:
Point of Control ( POC )
Value Area High ( VAH )
Value Area Low ( VAL )
There are 2 standard parameters:
Number of Bins/Rows : The granularity of the volume profile, the higher the number the more precise the calculations will be but will load slower, ideal is 16/32.
Percent for Value Area : Percent of total volume traded that you would like to be shown as a fill around the POC (maximum volume bin/row)
There are also 2 non standard parameters:
Checkbox for slower loading but more precise Value Area Calculation, checked = enabled, unchecked = disabled
Checkbox for more volatile symbols, check this if the price action is outside of the white dotted lines, default is disabled, checked = enabled, unchecked = disabled
POC: White Stepline
Value Area High: Highest Blue Line marking the top of the fill (Value Area)
Value Area Low: Lowest White Line marking the bottom of the fill
Please pm me if you are interested in trying this script out; I am also available for hire to work on custom scripts. Ty
Quadro Volume Profile- ArchitThe volume profile indicator is an advanced charting tool that displays trading activity (volume) at specific price levels during a selected time period. Unlike traditional volume indicators, which show volume over time (below the price chart), the volume profile plots a histogram on the price axis to show where the most trading has occurred for each price point.
Prev Day Volume ProfileWhat the script does
Calculates yesterday’s Volume Profile from the bars on your chart (not tick data) and derives:
POC (Point of Control)
VAL (Value Area Low)
VAH (Value Area High)
Draws three horizontal lines for today:
POC in orange
VAL and VAH in purple
Adds labels on the right edge that show the level name and the exact price (e.g., POC 1.2345).
Why it’s bar-based (not tick-based)
Pine Script can’t fetch external tick/aggTrades data. The script approximates a volume profile by distributing each bar’s volume across the price bins that the bar’s high–low range covers. For “yesterday”, this produces a stable, TV-native approximation that’s usually sufficient for intraday trading.
Key inputs
Value Area %: Defaults to 0.70 (70%)—the typical value area range.
TZ Offset vs Exchange (hours): Shifts the day boundary to match your desired session (e.g., Europe/Berlin: +1 winter / +2 summer). This ensures “yesterday” means 00:00–24:00 in your target timezone.
Row Size: Manual? / Manual Row Size: If enabled, you can set the price bin size yourself. Otherwise, the script chooses a TV-like step from syminfo.mintick.
Colors & Line width: POC orange; VAL/VAH purple; configurable width.
