Quantum Volume Point of Control (VPOC)Many forex traders are familiar with the concepts of volume price analysis as enshrined in Wyckoff’s three laws of effort and result, cause and effect and supply and demand. This is the linear relationship between volume and price. Now with the Volume Point of Control, this relationship is taken to the next level adding the concept of time and inspired by the ideas behind market profile.
The Quantum Volume Point of Control, or VPOC indicator blends ALL THREE of these important aspects of trading into a single powerful and visual indicator.
The Quantum VPOC indicator takes the analysis of volume and price to a higher level, which both complements and expands the VPA relationship. Whilst the Quantum tick volumes indicator considers the relationship between a single volume bar and its associated candle on the price time x-axis or groups of candles and volume bars, the Quantum VPOC indicator analyses the density and intensity of volume over time against price. In other words, the volume price relationship on the y axis. It does this in three distinct ways as follows:
First, the Quantum VPOC indicator constructs the Volume Profile from a set number of bars in history to the most current bar. The Volume Profile is then presented as a vertical histogram shown at the right edge of the chart – a stack of horizontal bars of varying lengths, but of equal height representing the amount of activity at each price level.
Second, the Quantum VPOC analyzes the Volume Profile to find the key price levels where activity is strong and rising, or weak and falling. In other words, the indicator looks for peaks (long bars) of the Volume Profile where price tends to be attracted as these are areas where price was previously accepted. These are called High Volume Nodes (HVN). The indicator also looks for troughs or valleys (short bars) of the Volume Profile where price tends to be repelled as these are areas where price was previously rejected. These are referred to as Low Volume Nodes (LVN). Both types of price level act as precise zones of support and resistance and as such are projected across the chart within the given period.
Third, the Quantum VPOC indicator looks for the Highest Volume Node or the highest peak in the Volume Profile and marks it as the Volume Point of Control – the price level which acts as the fulcrum from which price pivots. The indicator completes its calculations and updates as each new volume bar is delivered.
The result is a chart revealing the overarching influence of volume at price, coupled with time.
The Quantum VPOC indicator displays several key pieces of information on the chart as follows:
- Volume Profile – this appears as a histogram of volume on the vertical price axis on the right-hand side of the chart. The peaks and troughs are clearly displayed highlighting both High and Low Volume nodes.
- High volume node (HVN) – this is where we have a bulge in the volume profile generally because of an extended phase of price congestion. As a result, as the market approaches these regions on the chart price action is likely to become waterlogged with further congestion likely with the node acting as a strong area of support or resistance. As we have seen a strong acceptance of price at this level in the past, this is likely to be repeated with the market swinging in a range. Ultimately the market may reverse off these levels, with any move through then confirming the current sentiment.
- Low volume node (LVN) – this is where we see low volume in the volume profile. In these regions, the market has only paused temporarily – in other words a region where price has been rejected in the past. As such we are likely to see the market move quickly through these regions with little in the way of resistance or support acting to prevent a further advance of decline in price. The current sentiment is likely to continue and build quickly through these levels.
- Support and Resistance Zones – these are drawn at the High and Low Volume nodes to highlight the various HVN and LVN levels on the price axis.
- Volume Point of Control Line – this is drawn as a single line on the highest volume of the High Volume Node in the timeframe and clearly defines the tipping point of sentiment. This moves dynamically and represents the fulcrum of market sentiment where price has reached agreement, before moving on. If it is above the price action, then the current market sentiment is bearish. If it is below the current price action, then the current market sentiment is bullish. The VPOC Line reveals this balance simply, quickly, and clearly allowing you to judge market sentiment with accuracy and confidence.
As with all the Quantum Trading indicators, the VPOC indicator is dynamic, constantly changing and updating to reflect the relentless shift in sentiment as the market moves from bullish to bearish and back again. The indicator works in all timeframes and provides a powerful and much deeper understanding of support and resistance through the prism of volume and the associated High and Low Volume Nodes, with the Point of Control itself, acting as the fulcrum of the market.

Pivot Point Profile [LuxAlgo]The Pivot Point Profile indicator groups and displays data accumulated from previous pivot points, providing a comprehensive method for prioritizing and displaying areas of interest directly given by swing highs and lows.
Users have access to common settings present in other profile-type indicators.
🔶 USAGE
The Pivot Point Profile is particularly helpful in identifying highly active reversal zones that have been visited multiple times by price. Because of this, we could generally expect these areas to serve as future points of interest, often acting as support or resistance when re-visited.
The profile displays data associated with both Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows. Each row consists of pivot high and pivot low counts side-by-side, forming the total width of the row.
By analyzing the row as a whole, we can gain a better understanding of WHERE to look for interactions.
By analyzing the pivot counts independently, we can gain a better understanding of WHAT to expect when returning to these areas.
For example:
If a row in the profile contains entirely Pivot Lows, this could be seen as an indication to look for buyers to hold that level for a continuation upwards. A break of this level could be interpreted as a lack of interest from previous buyers at this level, indicating a further move down.
🔹 Concentrated Areas
Each row in the profile displays the current count of high pivots and low pivots within the selected lookback. The largest count for each pivot direction is identified as a "Concentrated Area (CA)", these CAs are highlighted over the chart with a line displaying the average of all pivots within that CA. The CA Average is the average of all pivot points (in the majority direction) within the given row.
These can hold more importance as potential support/resistance areas.
Note: The CA Threshold can be manually adjusted to highlight all rows based on a user-selected value.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Calculation
The idea behind the Pivot Point Profile is a new analysis method for pivot points, taking the idea of a volume profile and adapting it to display pivot points instead of volume. By using this data, in theory, we should be able to better prioritize zones to anticipate reversals, as well as identify key levels to watch for buyer & seller interactions to use as confirmations in direction.
The (vertical) width of each row is the product of the script's "Row Size", this is the number of rows that the profile will consist of. With a max of 250, the profile can be decently granular. That being said, A more granular profile will have fewer overlapping pivot points. By decreasing the row size (Using fewer rows in the profile) you will increase the tolerance for grouping pivot points. Potentially leading to a more comprehensive Profile. Inversely, By reducing the tolerance for grouping, you will better visualize only similar highs and lows but may have noisier data to sift through.
The Profile is calculated based on a "Lookback" parameter, using only the lookback amount of previous high and low pivots to calculate the profile. Configuring this parameter alongside "Pivot Length", will allow for great control over the frame of reference of the profile.
Note: This indicator is capable of utilizing the full chart history of pivot points, this can be done by enabling the "Use Full Chart History" setting, this will cause the script will calculate from everything it has access to on your current chart.
🔹 Display
The Pivot Point Profile display can be customized to fit a various range of chart styles and visual needs. The specific settings to adjust these can be located in the "Profile Display" Section of the User Inputs.
Profile Width: Sets the Left to Right Width of the Profile. This is the maximum width that the profile will occupy and will scale to fit within this width.
Profile Offset: Sets the distance of the Profile's Axis from the current chart candle. This moves the entire profile left and right to enable to user to set the distance between the profile and the current candle.
Direction: Changes the display direction of the profile, allowing for "Left", "Right", or "Center" display styles.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Pivot Point Parameters

Volume Profile displays a vertical histogram on the right side of the price chart, representing the volume traded at each price level. The length of each bar corresponds to the total volume traded at that particular price level. Traders can analyze the shape and distribution of the Volume Profile to gain valuable information about the market structure.
Here's how Volume Profile is used and applied in trading:
Identifying Areas of High Volume:
Volume Profile helps traders identify areas of high trading activity. Peaks in the Volume Profile histogram indicate price levels where significant buying or selling pressure was present. These areas can act as support or resistance levels in the future, as they represent levels where traders have previously shown interest.
Understanding Price Acceptance and Rejection:
Volume Profile assists in determining whether the market has accepted or rejected specific price levels. When the volume is higher at a particular price level, it suggests that traders have accepted that price and consider it fair. On the other hand, low volume at a price level indicates rejection, suggesting that traders are not willing to transact at that price.
Identifying Value Areas:
Volume Profile can help identify value areas, which are price regions where the most volume has been traded. These areas are considered significant as they reflect levels where the market has found fair value and attracted substantial trading activity. Traders often pay attention to these value areas as potential support or resistance zones.
Confirming Breakouts and Reversals:
Volume Profile can be used to confirm the validity of breakouts and reversals. If a price breaks out of a range with high volume, it suggests strong conviction and increases the likelihood of a sustained move. Similarly, if a price reverses near a high-volume area, it provides additional confirmation of a potential trend reversal.
Assessing Market Sentiment:
By analyzing the shape and structure of the Volume Profile, traders can gain insights into market sentiment. A balanced Volume Profile with volume evenly distributed across price levels indicates a neutral market. Skewed or asymmetrical Volume Profiles may suggest bullish or bearish sentiment, depending on where the volume is concentrated.
It's important to note that traders often combine Volume Profile with price patterns, trendlines, and momentum indicators to validate signals and develop a comprehensive understanding of the market.
By studying the Volume Profile, traders can gain a clearer picture of where significant trading activity has occurred and identify levels of potential support, resistance, and value. This information can assist in making more informed trading decisions and improving overall market analysis.

VWAP(Volume Weighted Average Price) is a technical analysis tool that calculates the average price weighted by trading volume over a specified time period. It provides traders with insights into the average price at which a particular asset has traded during a given period, considering the volume traded at each price level.
Here's a general explanation of VWAP and its application in trading:
Calculation of VWAP:
VWAP is calculated by multiplying the price of each trade by its corresponding volume, summing these values over a specific time period, and dividing the total by the cumulative volume. The calculation continuously updates as new trades occur within the specified time frame.
Interpretation of VWAP:
VWAP is primarily used as a reference point to assess whether a current price is relatively high or low compared to the average price weighted by volume. Traders compare the current price to the VWAP to gauge whether the price is trading above or below the average level. If the price is above VWAP, it suggests that the asset is trading at a premium, while a price below VWAP indicates a discount.
VWAP as a Trading Indicator:
Traders use VWAP in various ways to support their trading decisions. Here are a few common applications:
a. Trend Identification: Traders analyze the relationship between the current price and VWAP to identify the prevailing market trend. If the price consistently trades above VWAP, it is often seen as a bullish signal, while prices below the VWAP is considered a bearish signal. This approach helps traders align their trades with the overall market direction.
b. Support and Resistance Levels: VWAP can act as a dynamic support or resistance level. Traders observe how the price reacts when approaching the VWAP. If the price bounces off the VWAP and continues in the direction of the prevailing trend, it may indicate support or resistance. Traders can use the VWAP as a reference for setting stop-loss levels or determining potential entry or exit points.
c. Reversal Signals: In some cases, when the price deviates significantly from VWAP, it may indicate overbought or oversold conditions. Traders watch for price reversals when the price moves away from the VWAP, potentially signaling a short-term market reversal.
d. Volume Analysis: VWAP considers volume along with price, providing insights into the significance of price moves. Traders analyze the relationship between volume and VWAP to evaluate the strength of price movements. Higher volume trading near the VWAP may suggest increased market interest and potential continuation of the trend.
It's worth noting that the VWAP is often used in intra-day trading and is more relevant for short-term analysis. Traders typically adjust the VWAP time frame based on their trading style and the asset being analyzed.

The Zig Zag works by filtering out price movements below a certain threshold (percentage or points) and only displaying significant price changes. This helps to eliminate minor price fluctuations and focus on the more substantial market movements.
When applying the Zig Zag indicator, traders typically select a percentage or point value as the threshold. For example, if a 5% threshold is chosen, the Zig Zag indicator will only plot a new point when the price has moved up or down by at least 5% from the previous significant high or low.
The indicator plots lines connecting the significant highs and lows on the price chart, creating a zigzag pattern. The lines are drawn in a way that reflects the change in the trend direction. The indicator can be adjusted to suit different timeframes and trading styles.
The primary purpose of the Zig Zag indicator is to identify and highlight trend reversals and price swings. Traders often use it to:
Identify major turning points: The Zig Zag indicator helps traders spot major highs and lows in the price action. These levels can act as potential support or resistance areas for future price movements.
Filter out noise: By filtering out minor price fluctuations, the Zig Zag indicator helps traders focus on the more significant price moves and trends. This can provide a clearer picture of the overall market direction.
Confirm chart patterns: The Zig Zag indicator can be used to confirm the validity of chart patterns, such as trendlines, channels, or chart formations. It can help traders validate breakouts, pullbacks, or continuation patterns.
Set trailing stops: Traders may use the Zig Zag indicator to set trailing stops based on the significant swing highs and lows. This allows them to trail their stop-loss orders behind the price action and potentially lock in profits as the trend develops.
Additionally, it's essential to customize the settings of the Zig Zag indicator according to the specific market being analyzed, as different markets and timeframes may require different threshold values for optimal performance.
Please keep in mind that while the Zig Zag indicator can provide valuable insights, it should be used alongside other analysis tools and not solely relied upon for trading decisions.

Fibonacci extensions and retracements are both technical analysis tools that traders use to identify potential levels of support and resistance in financial markets. Here's a clear understanding of each concept and how they are used in trading:
1. Fibonacci Retracement:
Fibonacci retracement is based on the idea that after an upward or downward price movement, the price tends to retrace a portion of that move before continuing in the original direction. The key levels used in Fibonacci retracement are based on ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence, such as 0.382 (38.2%), 0.500 (50%), and 0.618 (61.8%).
To apply Fibonacci retracements, traders typically select two significant points on a price chart: a swing high and a swing low. The retracement levels are then plotted as horizontal lines based on the Fibonacci ratios. These levels act as potential support (in an uptrend) or resistance (in a downtrend) where the price may reverse or consolidate before resuming the overall trend.
Traders often use Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential entry or exit points, place stop-loss orders, or assess the strength of a trend. The most commonly used retracement levels are 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%, but other Fibonacci ratios like 23.6% and 78.6% are also sometimes used.
2. Fibonacci Extension:
Fibonacci extension is used to identify potential price targets beyond the initial trend or price move. It helps traders determine where the price may reach once it surpasses the previous swing high or swing low.
Similar to Fibonacci retracement, Fibonacci extension levels are derived from the Fibonacci sequence. The most commonly used extension levels are 138.2%, 161.8%, 261.8%, and 423.6%, although other ratios can also be applied.
To use Fibonacci extension, traders select three points on a price chart: a swing low, a swing high (corresponding to the previous trend), and a subsequent swing low or swing high (from where the extension is projected). The extension levels are then projected beyond the swing high or swing low, acting as potential price targets or areas of interest.
Fibonacci extension levels are often used to determine potential profit targets or to identify areas where a trend may reverse or consolidate. Traders may also use extensions in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm trade signals or assess the overall market structure

The Pitchfan tool is based on the concept of Andrew's Pitchfork, which is a popular technical analysis tool developed by Dr. Alan H. Andrews. It consists of three parallel trendlines that are drawn to encompass the price action of an asset. The trendlines are typically drawn by connecting three significant points on a price chart - usually a pivot high, a pivot low, and another pivot high.
Once the Pitchfork is plotted, the Pitchfan tool extends the concept by adding additional trendlines that are parallel to the original Pitchfork. These additional trendlines are drawn based on certain mathematical ratios (e.g., Fibonacci ratios) applied to the distance between the original trendlines.
The Pitchfan can be used to identify potential support and resistance levels, as well as potential areas for price reversal or continuation. Traders may look for price reactions near these trendlines, with the expectation that the price may find support or encounter resistance at these levels.
---
Higher timeframe opens refer to the opening prices of different sessions or timeframes above the one being currently analyzed. For example, in intra-day trading, higher timeframe opens can refer to the daily session open or the opening prices of other significant market sessions in the forex market.
In addition to higher timeframe opens, traders often utilize daily reference ranges by incorporating indicators such as Average True Range (ATR) and the previous day's range. These tools help traders gauge the potential price volatility for the day and establish reference levels for stop-loss orders, profit targets, overall risk management strategies and market knowledge to develop a comprehensive trading approach.

Depth of Market (DOM) [LuxAlgo]The Depth Of Market (DOM) tool allows traders to look under the hood of any market, taking price and volume analysis to the next level. The following features are included: DOM, Time & Sales, Volume Profile, Depth of Market, Imbalances, Buying Pressure, and up to 24 key intraday levels (it really packs a punch).
As a disclaimer, this tool does not use tick data, it is a DOM reconstruction from the provided real-time time series data (price and volume). So the volume you see is from filled orders only, this tool does not show unfilled limit orders.
Traders can enable or disable any of the features at will to avoid being overwhelmed with too much information and to make the tool perform faster.
The features that have the biggest impact on performance are Historical Data Collection, Key Levels (POC & VWAP), Time & Sales, Profile, and Imbalances. Disable these features to improve the indicator computational performance.
🔶 DOM
This is the simplest form of the tool, a simple DOM or ladder that displays the following columns:
PRICE: Price level
BID: Total number of market sell orders filled or limit buy orders filled.
SELL: Sell market orders
BUY: Buy market orders
ASK: Total number of market buy orders filled or limit sell orders filled.
The DOM only collects historical data from the last 24 hours and real-time data.
Traders can select a reset period for the DOM with two options:
DAILY: Resets at the beginning of each trading day
SESSIONS: Resets twice, as DAILY and 15.5 hours later, to coincide with the start of the RTH session for US tickers.
The DOM has two main modes, it can display price levels as ticks or points. The default is automatic based on the current daily volatility, but traders can manually force one mode or the other if they wish.
For convenience, traders have the option to set the number of lines (price levels), and the size of the text and to display only real-time data.
By default, the top price is set to 0 so that the DOM automatically adjusts the price levels to be displayed, but traders can set the top price manually so that the tool displays only the desired price levels in a fixed manner.
🔹 Volume Profile
As additional features to the basic DOM, traders have access to the volume profile histogram and the total volume per price level.
This helps traders identify at a glance key price areas where volume is accumulating (high volume nodes) or areas where volume is lacking (low volume nodes) - these areas are important to some traders who base their decision-making process on them.
🔹 Imbalances
Other added features are imbalances and buying pressure:
Interlevel Imbalance: volume delta between two different price levels
Intralevel Imbalance: delta between buy and sell volume at the same price level
Buying Pressure Percent: percentage of buy volume compared to total volume
Imbalances can help traders identify areas of interest in the price for possible support or resistance.
🔹 Depth
Depth allows traders to see at a glance how much supply is above the current price level or how much demand is below the current price level.
Above the current price level shows the cumulative ask volume (filled sell limit orders) and below the current price level shows the cumulative bid volume (filled buy limit orders).
🔶 KEY LEVELS
The tool includes up to 24 different key intraday levels of particular relevance:
Previous Week Levels
PWH: Previous week high
PWL: Previous week low
PWM: Previous week middle
PWS: Previous week settlement (close)
Previous Day Levels
PDH: Previous day high
PDL: Previous day low
PDM: Previous day middle
PDS: Previous day settlement (close)
Current Day Levels
OPEN: Open of day (or session)
HOD: High of day (or session)
LOD: Low of day (or session)
MOD: Middle of day (or session)
Opening Range
ORH: Open range high
ORL: Open range low
Initial Balance
IBH: Initial balance high
IBL: Initial balance low
VWAP
+3SD: Volume weighted average price plus 3 standard deviations
+2SD: Volume weighted average price plus 2 standard deviations
+1SD: Volume weighted average price plus 1 standard deviation
VWAP: Volume weighted average price
-1SD: Volume weighted average price minus 1 standard deviation
-2SD: Volume weighted average price minus 2 standard deviations
-3SD: Volume weighted average price minus 3 standard deviations
POC: Point of control
Different traders look at different levels, the key levels shown here are objective and specific areas of interest that traders can act on, providing us with potential areas of support or resistance in the price.
🔶 TIME & SALES
The tool also features a full-time and sales panel with time, price, and size columns, a size filter, and the ability to set the timezone to display time in the trader's local time.
The information shown here is what feeds the DOM and it can be useful in several ways, for example in detecting absorption. If a large number of orders are coming into the market but the price is barely moving, this indicates that there is enough liquidity at these levels to absorb all these orders, so if these orders stop coming into the market, the price may turn around.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Select the anchoring period to start data collection, DAILY will anchor at the start of the trading day, and SESSIONS will start as DAILY and 15.5 hours later (RTH for US tickers).
Mode: Select between AUTO and MANUAL modes for displaying TICKS or POINTS, in AUTO mode the tool will automatically select TICKS for tickers with a daily average volatility below 5000 ticks and POINTS for the rest of the tickers.
Rows: Select the number of price levels to display
Text Size: Select the text size
🔹 DOM
DOM: Enable/Disable DOM display
Realtime only: Enable/Disable real-time data only, historical data will be collected if disabled
Top Price: Specify the price to be displayed on the top row, set to 0 to enable dynamic DOM
Max updates: Specify how many times the values on the SELL and BUY columns are accumulated until reset.
Profile/Depth size: Maximum size of the histograms on the PROFILE and DEPTH columns.

TwV Multi-timeframe Dynamic VRVPMulti-timeframe Dynamic Visible Range Volume Profile
The volume profile is an indicator that displays trading activity over a specified period and plots a histogram on the chart which reveals dominant and significant price levels based on volume and in essence gives a clear indication of Supply or demand at a certain price rather than volume in a certain period.
What makes this VRVP indicator different from other is that it is multi-timeframe and dynamic, meaning that it has the ability to show the POC for a higher timeframe and that it also recalculates the main POC every single time traders adjust the chart.
Most VRVP need to be adjusted to a fixed position for the Main POC, I made an improvement by giving the indicator the ability to identify the bars that are being look at in the screen, this really gives traders the possibility and agility to identify potential support and resistance areas without the need to be changing any settings on the indicator.
Furthermore, giving the ability to the indicator to be multi-timeframe allows traders not only to work with a point of control in one timeframe, but also have a dashed line plotting the Point of Control of a HIGHER timeframe, which could potentially be a strongest support or resistance. The multi-timeframe point of control is fixed only.
This VRVP is completely similar to the official Trading View paid subscription one.
Fundamentals
Point of Control (POC): The price level for the time period with the highest traded volume. The POC is represented by an amber line within the indicator.
Profile High: The highest reached price level during the specified time period
Profile Low: The lowest reached price level during the specified time period.
Value Area (VA): The range of price levels in which a specified percentage of all volume was traded during the time period. Typically, this percentage is set to 70% however it is up to the trader’s discretion.
Value Area High (VAH): The highest price level within the value area.
Value Area Low (VAL): The lowest price level within the value area.
Usage
The Resistance and Support levels can be provided by the Volume profile using a reactive method so they constantly change with price action and give a clearer picture to predict future price movements. The Reactive method relies on past price movements at certain price levels and applies a more significant understanding of price reaction at certain meaningful levels
Support levels will be areas where price will be supported on the way down.
Resistance levels will be areas that resist price on the way up.
A basic understanding of this is that Buyers will enter the market at the bottom of a profile and sellers will enter the market at the top of the profile.
Configuration
By the default the indicator has enabled plotting the charts timeframe Volume Profile.
Multi-timeframe option needs to be enabled and desired timeframe chosen from selector menu.
Bars back value for fixed calculation of the multi-timeframe point of control.
Traders can adjust default settings as follows:
Charts timeframe VRVP
Main POC color – Yellow
Positive Volume – Green
Negative Volume – Red
VRVP Width – 100 (Refers to the plotting width for better suiting on small screens)
Multi timeframe VRVP
Enable or disable calculations
Bars back - Fixed numbers of bars for calculation (Consider that max bars back limit is 5000, but it considers 5000 bars on the current charts timeframe, therefore traders need to take into consideration converting number of bars in higher timeframe to charts timeframe)
e.g.
Charts timeframe 15m – MTF desired 1H
1H = 60 min 15m = 15 min – 100 bars back equivalent to (60 min * 100) / 15 = 400
Lower than 5000 then calculations takes place, otherwise calculations will be disabled.
Multi-timeframe POC color = Light blue DASHED
Timeframe desired – 1H by default

TwV Market Signals ScreenerMarket Signals Screener
This indicator allows traders to have a view of multiple pairs and timeframes Long/Short signals and specific information of parameters, based on the TwV Market Signals also developed by me and that can be found on my profile.
Full Screener Panel
This panel allows the trader to monitor multiple pairs at a single screen, giving an immediate vision of possible entries and exits (Long/Short). Moreover, allows traders to have handy all information of the TwV Market Signals Indicator that might be analyzed further for each pair. It has the following characteristics:
It can be placed anywhere on the screen through the main menu of the indicator.
It can be combined with the same indicator multiple times, as per screener is limited to show 40 pairs, you can select the number of panels being added to adjust position one next to each other.
It strengthens colors when a pair has changed its signals in order to the trader to know immediate changes and then do the follow up
The screener shows the pairs, which can be changed within the menus.
The screener shows the Long and Short Signals in its las column but previously, it shows the most critical parameters in the strategies (Market Signals Indicator) that determined the possible Long/Short position. Therefore, the EMAs, STOCH, SQZ, ADX, and TTM, are summarized in the screener for each pair.
For analyzing a specific pair, refer to the the Twv Market Signals Indicator, which is other indicator that might be on my TradingView Profile and that was used as base for the screener.
How to use this indicator and work with the strategies of the TwV Market Signals Indicator
The use of EMAs 10,20 and 50 draw the medium to long term trends, therefore avoiding signals against the trend. Furthermore, the EMAs will advise possible change in trends, especially considering the 10 and 20 cross, considering that crossing the 10,20 and 50, might confirm the change in med to long term trend change of the price. This is completely visual in the chart as it tints green for positive trend and yellow to red for negative trend.
The 200 SMA is included as it also gives better confirmation to the trend, the basics tell that when the EMAs mentioned above are below the 200 SMA then the likelihood for entries in long positions are not the best and vice versa for short.
Therefore, the trader shall filter Long and Short Signals accordingly as this EMAs are not used to send Long and Short signals considering that they confirm the trend in a slow pace and not reactively to the price volatility.
There are two strategies built-in within the indicator:
Strategy 1 – Longer time trades and high volatility handling
The Long and Short Signals are based on 14 and EMAs (by default). This two Mas are used to send signals based on their crossovers as they are way more reactive to the price movement.
Trader shall consider that EMAs are used for higher timeframes, therefore the indicator has the possibility to adjust the EMAs and use SMAs or WMAs instead for one or the two parameters (14 and 21).
WMAs react faster to the price volatility so the trader shall adjust this according to the timeframe being used. (Lower timeframes suggested).
This strategy is used for trades that might keep running for longer periods of times.
For reference on what the SMAs, EMAs and WMAs are, please see below sections in the description.
Strategy 2 - Shorter time trades and unhandled high volatility
The Long and Short Signals are bases on HMA. HMAs (Hull Moving Averages) track the price movement and volatility way faster that SMAs, EMAs and WMAs, therefore as the HMA follow the price quicker, it is intended for short time trades even in higher timeframes.
Scalping is not suggested using this strategy as HMA do not handle high volatility even on higher timeframes.
One of the biggest differences from the first strategy is that there is no more than a single HMA length to work with, which is 24 as default.
HMAs calculation is different to other MAs, therefore combining various HMAs lengths looking for crossovers become trend identification a lot less precise. HMAs are not intended to be used with different length crossovers.
Exit points = The use of Stochastic and VRVP
Stochastic RSI
It is well known that when Stochastic RSI resets when overbought or oversold therefore traders have within a summary box the possibility to check whether the K & D lines in the Stochastic RSI hace crossed over bullish or bearish.
Although the crossover is not mandatory for a change trend, the crossover might be used by the trader to exit a position considering that the price might move on the opposite direction.
Traders shall look at the summary box, where bullish and bearish crossovers are shown, so they evaluate their position exit.
Visible Range Volume Profile
The use of the VRVP is to find support and resistance on the price movements. Although high and lows are used as possible supports and resistances, VRVP shows an area of confluence on the order book, where volume of positions are accumulated and that might act as support or resistance depending on the price direction.
Traders can visually activate the VRVP to see the Point of Control (POC) directly on the chart as a line (similar as how a support or resistance would be drawn). Moreover, traders have the ability to see within the summary box, whether to see if the price is above or below the POC, so they clearly know if it is acting as support or resistance.
Price Direction
Trade the market trend is well known to be used to identify possible price direction. It is important not to confuse the longer time trend drawn by the EMAs with the TTM Trend bar color. The TTM trend colors bars according to the price direction, helping traders not to confuse when a red bar appears on an uptrend or green bars on a down trend.
This coloring helps traders not to exit trades based on bar coloring, which might psychologically affect when scalping or short-term trading specially.
Originally, the TTM trend is used considering the ADX in and indicator called TTM Squeeze, where the strength of the movement is measured, therefore although candle colors help with the price direction, ADX provides the trader the ability to see whether the direction is losing momentum and then catch the best possible exit before the direction change.
Terminology basics
Trend indicators
Exponential Moving Average (EMAs): The base indicator is composed of moving averages of 10, 20 and 55 exponential periods, to determine a possible bullish or bearish trend (EMA Crossing)
Simple Moving Average (SMA): The base indicator is composed of a moving average of 200 simple periods, which in conjunction with the EMAs can lead to estimate potential upward or downwards moves, as well as possible resistances. (SMA Positioning)
Weighted moving average (WMA): It is a technical indicator that traders use to generate trade direction and make a long or short position. It assigns greater weighting to recent data points and less weighting on past data points. (WMA Crossing)
Strength and S/R indicators
VPVR (Volume Profile Visible Range): It allows to determine the Point of Control (POC) which is the node with the highest volume profile. This can be used as an important retest point or to calculate potential support and resistance. The POC level is represented with a red dotted line in the graph.
The VPVR is a simplified version of the “TwV Multi-timeframe Dynamic VRVP” that you can find for free use in my profile. This version calculates the main’s timeframe POC and also has the possibility to be fixed range if the trader enables it from the menu. (Dynamic range by default).
ADX (Average Directional Index): The ADX helps the indicator to estimate the strength of the movement, always considering the DI+ and DI- to not go against the trend strength. This is represented as summary text in a table.
/
Exit indicator
Stochastic RSI: It is an indicator used in technical analysis that ranges between zero and a hundred and is created by applying the Stochastic oscillator formula to a set of relative strength index (RSI) values rather than to standard price data. Using RSI values within the Stochastic formula gives traders an idea of whether the current RSI value is overbought or oversold (Exit zones)

How to use Summary
1. Receive the Long or Short Signals using strategy 1 or 2, depending on the selected in the main menu of the indicator.
2. Evaluate the trend based on the 10,20, 50 and 200 MAs. Filter the Long and Short signals accordingly.
3. Monitor constantly the TTM Trend and the ADX for the direction and strength of the position entered and review if the momentum is being lost, considering step 4 or other possible reasons that might lead to exiting the position.
4. Once entered to a position evaluate constantly the Stochastic RSI bearish or bullish crossover or POC value on screen or summary box to exit the position.
5. Consider that for doing the evaluation individually, you shall use the TwV Market Signals.

WhalenatorThis custom TradingView indicator combines multiple analytic techniques to help identify potential market trends, areas of support and resistance, and zones of heightened trading activity. It incorporates a SuperTrend-like line based on ATR, Keltner Channels for volatility-based price envelopes, and dynamic order blocks derived from significant volume and pivot points. Additionally, it highlights “whale” activities—periods of exceptionally large volume—along with an estimated volume profile level and approximate bid/ask volume distribution. Together, these features aim to offer traders a more comprehensive view of price structure, volatility, and institutional participation.
This custom TradingView indicator integrates multiple trading concepts into a single, visually descriptive tool. Its primary goal is to help traders identify directional bias, volatility levels, significant volume events, and potential support/resistance zones on a price chart. Below are the main components and their functionalities:
SuperTrend-Like Line (Trend Bias):
At the core of the indicator is a trend-following line inspired by the SuperTrend concept, which uses Average True Range (ATR) to adaptively set trailing stop levels. By comparing price to these levels, the line attempts to indicate when the market is in an uptrend (price above the line) or a downtrend (price below the line). The shifting levels can provide a dynamic sense of direction and help traders stay with the predominant trend until it shifts.
Keltner Channels (Volatility and Range):
Keltner Channels, based on an exponential moving average and Average True Range, form volatility-based envelopes around price. They help traders visualize whether price is extended (touching or moving outside the upper/lower band) or trading within a stable range. This can be useful in identifying low-volatility consolidations and high-volatility breakouts.
Dynamic Order Blocks (Approximations of Supply/Demand Zones):
By detecting pivot highs and lows under conditions of significant volume, the indicator approximates "order blocks." Order blocks are areas where institutional buying or selling may have occurred, potentially acting as future support or resistance zones. Although these approximations are not perfect, they offer a visual cue to areas on the chart where price might react strongly if revisited.
Volume Profile Proxy and Whale Detection:
The indicator highlights price levels associated with recent maximum volume activity, providing a rough "volume profile" reference. Such levels often become key points of price interaction.
"Whale" detection logic attempts to identify bars where exceptionally large volume occurs (beyond a defined threshold). By tracking these "whale bars," traders can infer where heavy participation—often from large traders or institutions—may influence market direction or create zones of interest.
Approximate Bid/Ask Volume and Dollar Volume Tracking:
The script estimates whether volume within each bar leans more towards the bid or the ask side, aiming to understand which participant (buyers or sellers) might have been more aggressive. Additionally, it calculates dollar volume (close price multiplied by volume) and provides an average to gauge the relative participation strength over time.
Labeling and Visual Aids:
Dynamic labels display Whale Frequency (the ratio of bars with exceptionally large volume), average dollar volume, and approximate ask/bid volume metrics. This gives traders at-a-glance insights into current market conditions, participation, and sentiment.
Strengths:
Multifaceted Analysis:
By combining trend, volatility, volume, and order block logic in one place, the indicator saves chart space and simplifies the analytical process. Traders gain a holistic view without flipping between multiple separate tools.
Adaptable to Market Conditions:
The use of ATR and Keltner Channels adapts to changing volatility conditions. The SuperTrend-like line helps keep traders aligned with the prevailing trend, avoiding constant whipsaws in choppy markets.
Volume-Based Insights:
Integrating whale detection and a crude volume profile proxy helps traders understand where large players might be interacting. This perspective can highlight critical levels that might not be evident from price action alone.
Convenient Visual Cues and Labels:
The indicator provides quick reference points and textual information about the underlying volume dynamics, making decision-making potentially faster and more informed.
Weaknesses:
Heuristic and Approximate Nature:
Many of the indicator’s features, like the "order blocks," "whale detection," and the approximate bid/ask volume, rely on heuristics and assumptions that may not always be accurate. Without actual Level II data or true volume profiles, the insights are best considered as supplementary, not definitive signals.
Lagging Components:
Indicators that rely on past data, like ATR-based trends or moving averages for Keltner Channels, inherently lag behind price. This can cause delayed signals, particularly in fast-moving markets, potentially missing some early opportunities or late in confirming market reversals.
No Guaranteed Predictive Power:
As with any technical tool, it does not forecast the future with certainty. Strong volume at a certain level or a bullish SuperTrend reading does not guarantee price will continue in that direction. Market conditions can change unexpectedly, and false signals will occur.
Complexity and Overreliance Risk:
With multiple signals combined, there’s a risk of information overload. Traders might feel compelled to rely too heavily on this one tool. Without complementary analysis (fundamentals, news, or additional technical confirmation), overreliance on the indicator could lead to misguided trades.
Conclusion:
This integrated indicator offers a comprehensive visual guide to market structure, volatility, and activity. Its strength lies in providing a multi-dimensional viewpoint in a single tool. However, traders should remain aware of its approximations, inherent lags, and the potential for conflicting signals. Sound risk management, position sizing, and the use of complementary analysis methods remain essential for trading success.
Risks Associated with Trading:
No indicator can guarantee profitable trades or accurately predict future price movements. Market conditions are inherently unpredictable, and reliance on any single tool or combination of tools carries the risk of financial loss. Traders should practice sound risk management, including the use of stop losses and position sizing, and should not trade with funds they cannot afford to lose. Ultimately, decisions should be guided by a thorough trading plan and possibly supplemented with other forms of market analysis or professional advice.
Risks and Important Considerations:
• Not a Standalone Tool:
• This indicator should not be used in isolation. It is essential to incorporate additional technical analysis tools, fundamental analysis, and market context when making trading decisions.
• Relying solely on this indicator may lead to incomplete assessments of market conditions.
• Market Volatility and False Signals:
• Financial markets can be highly volatile, and indicators based on historical data may not accurately predict future movements.
• The indicator may produce false signals due to sudden market changes, low liquidity, or atypical trading activity.
• Risk Management:
• Always employ robust risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders, diversifying your portfolio, and not over-leveraging positions.
• Understand that no indicator guarantees success, and losses are a natural part of trading.
• Emotional Discipline:
• Avoid making impulsive decisions based on indicator signals alone.
• Emotional trading can lead to significant financial losses; maintain discipline and adhere to a well-thought-out trading plan.
• Continuous Learning and Adaptation:
• Stay informed about market news, economic indicators, and global events that may impact trading conditions.
• Continuously evaluate and adjust your trading strategies as market dynamics evolve.
• Consultation with Professionals:
• Consider seeking advice from financial advisors or professional traders to understand better how this indicator can fit into your overall trading strategy.
• Professional guidance can provide personalized insights based on your financial goals and risk tolerance.
Disclaimer:
Trading financial instruments involves substantial risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. This indicator is provided for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered investment advice. Always conduct your own research and consult with a licensed financial professional before making any trading decisions.
Note: The effectiveness of any technical indicator can vary based on market conditions and individual trading styles. It's crucial to test indicators thoroughly using historical data and possibly paper trading before applying them in live trading scenarios.
Range Sentiment Profile [LuxAlgo]The Range Sentiment Profile indicator is inspired from the volume profile and aims to indicate the degree of bullish/bearish variations within equidistant price areas inside the most recent price range.
The most bullish/bearish price areas are highlighted through lines extending over the entire range.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Most recent bars used for the calculation of the indicator.
Rows: Number of price areas the price range is divided into.
Use Intrabar: Use intrabar data to compute the range sentiment profile.
Timeframe: Intrabar data timeframe.
🔶 USAGE
This tool can be used to easily determine if a certain price area contain more significant bullish or bearish price variations. This is done by obtaining an estimate of the accumulation of all the close to open variations occurring within a specific profile area.
A blue range background indicates a majority of bullish variations within each area while an orange background indicates a majority of bearish variations within each area.
Users can easily identify the areas with the most bullish/bearish price variations by looking at the bullish/bearish maximums.
It can be of interest to see where profile bins might have no length, these can indicate price areas with price variations with alternating signs (bullish variations are followed by a bearish sign) and similar body. They can also indicate a majority of either bullish or bearish variations alongside a minority of more significant opposite variations.
These areas can also provide support/resistance, as such price entering these areas could reverse.
Users can obtain more precise results by allowing the profile to use intrabar data. This will change the calculation of the profile, see the details section for more information.
🔶 DETAILS
The Range Sentiment Profile's design is similar to the way a volume profile is constructed.
First the maximum/minimum values over the most recent Length bars are obtained, these define the calculation range of the profile.
The range is divided into Rows equidistant areas. We then see if price lied within a specific area, if it's the case we accumulate the difference between the closing and opening price for that specific area.
Let d = close - open . The length of the bin associated to a specific area is determined as follows:
length = Width / 100 * Area / Max
Where Area is the accumulated d within the area, and Max the maximum value between the absolute value of each accumulated d of all areas.
The percentage visible on each bin is determined as 100 multiplied by the accumulated d within the area divided by the total absolute value of d over the entire range.
🔹 Intrabar Calculation
When using intrabar data the range sentiment profile is calculated differently.
For a specific area and candle within the interval, the accumulated close to open difference is accumulated only if the intrabar candle of the user selected timeframe lies within the area.
This can return more precise results compared to the standard method, at the cost of a higher computation time.
Wave Consolidation [LuxAlgo]The Wave Consolidation indicator uses market profiles to highlight consolidation zones based on upward and downward moves determined when a Higher-High or Lower-Low is created.
Users can control the amount of consolidation zones to display and the sensitivity of the swing point detection used to return those zones.
🔶 USAGE
These zones are intended as areas of interest to traders where price has seen historical interactions, which can be interpreted as support and resistance. By identifying these areas of interest before the price returns to them, traders are able to anticipate and prepare for various scenarios and respond dynamically to the behavior of the market, as seen below.
Rejection: A quick move away from the zone may indicate that the area is either overvalued or undervalued, leading to a fast movement in the opposite direction.
Breakthrough: Moving beyond a zone could indicate acceptance at that specific price, potentially signaling a shift in momentum or the start of a new trend. In a strong major trend, zones created from smaller trends could be used as price targets for taking profit and managing risk.
Consolidation: Holding these zones might suggest a market in balance at these levels, this could lead to opportunities for range-bound trading.
Below is an example of the Rejection and Consolidation scenarios described above.
Note: By analyzing the tests and retests of these zones, traders can also gain further insight into where participants are interacting in the market.
🔶 DETAILS
The full process for acquiring and managing these zones is described in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Creation
By only considering market movements creating a higher-high or lower-low, we can identify meaningful, directional, moves which can then be used to calculate zones.
Once a move is identified, the script calculates a volume profile spanning the length of the given move.
The width of the zones is determined starting from the POC of the profile and expanding outwards until the value of the profile's row falls below the profile's average.
Note: By increasing the "Multiplier" Input, Users can increase the threshold the script uses to determine zone width in multiples of Standard Deviations above the Average.
While this area is similar to a VP Value Area, it is not intended to replicate a value zone. The calculation is not concerned with capturing any % of the total profile's volume within the zone and only analyzes based on a fixed inclusion threshold.
🔹 Management
To keep clutter to a minimum, If a new zone overlaps a recently created zone, the zones are grouped as one. This is especially helpful in areas where prices are ranging, creating multiple zones in a very similar area.
Zones before management:
Zones after management:
🔹 Deletion
Just because a zone is crossed, does not make it immediately unimportant!
Once a Zone is mitigated (crossed in the opposite direction of its bias) it is reduced to a single dotted line representing the outer threshold for the zone. These lines are important to watch, as the price will often retest a break. For this reason, they will stay on the chart until the next swing point is detected when they will finally be deleted for good.
Below is an example of activity around a broken zone before it is deleted.
Below is the same example 2bBars later , once the new swing is confirmed, the dotted lines are deleted and new zones are created.
Notice how the newly formed resistance zone is in the same area where we noticed sellers previously.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Structure
Display Structure: Determines if swing structures are displayed.
Structure Length: Sets Length for structure identification.
🔹 Zones
Volume-Based Calculations: Opt to use a "Volume" based Profile Calculation instead of the default "Price Action" based Calculation.
Display Count: Sets the specific number of bullish and bearish zones to display on the chart.
Multiplier: Sets the multiplier to use for the value cut-off for determining zone boundaries.
🔹 Style
Display Average Lines: Toggles on/off the average (mid) lines for the zones.
Volume Footprint Voids [BigBeluga]Volume Footprint Voids is a unique tool that uses lower timeframe calculation to plot different styles of single candle POC.
This indicator is very powerful for scalping and finding very precise entry and exits, spotting potential trapped traders, and more.
Unlike many other volume profiles, this aims to plot single candle profiles as well as their own footprints.
🔶 FEATURES
The script includes the following settings:
Windows: Plotting style and calculations
Coloring modes
Display modes
lower-timeframe calculations
🔶 CALCULATION
In the image above we can see how the script calculates each level position that will serve as a calculation process to see how much volume/closes there are within the levels.
In the image above, we can have a more clear example of how we count each candle close.
We use the prior screenshot as an example, after setting each level we will use the lower-timeframe input to measure the amount of closes within the ranges.
Depending on the lot size, the box will be larger or smaller, usually the POC will always have the highest box size.
NOTE: Size is the starting point, always from the low of the candle.
To find more voids, select a closer LTF to the current one you're using.
To find fewer voids, select a timeframe away from your current one.
Due to Pine Script limitations, we are only able to plot a certain amount of footprints, and we can't plot the whole history chart.
POC will be the largest block displayed, indicating the time point of control
Gray areas are closes above the average
Black are Void or imbalance that price will fill in the future, like FVG
The image above shows an incorrect size input that will lead to bad calculations, while on the other side, a correct size input that will lead to a clear vision and better calculation.
🔶 WINDOWS
The "▲▼" Mode will display delta buyers and delta sellers coloring with voids as black.
It also offers a gradient mode for a beautier visualization
The "Total Volume" mode will display the net volume within the lot size (closes within the levels).
This is useful to spot possible highest net volume within the same highest lot size.
The "POC + Gaps" will show both POC and Gaps as the highest block while all the rest will be considered as the smaller block.
This is useful to see where the highest lot were and if there are higher or lower imbalances within the candle
The last option "Gaps" will simply display the gaps as the highest block, while the POC as the lowest block.
This is useful to have a better view of the gaps areas
🔶 EXAMPLE
This is one of the most basic examples of how this script can be used. POC at the bottom creating a strong support area as price holds and creates higher voids gap that price fills while rising.
🔶 SETTINGS
Users have full control over the script, from colors to choosing the lower-timeframe inputs to disabling the lot size.
Market Profile Visible RangeSup TV, 2 important points .
1) surprisingly, it's the first MP Visible Range script on TV;
2) This one doesn't use any bagging/binning*, instead each row represents the time spent on the actual minimal price steps (aka ticks).
The script will be further extended with usual market profile related functionally in future updates. At this point we have:
- Profile itself (each row represents how many bars touch the given price);
- Mode of the profile (called POC)**;
* Still it will be introduced in future when I will find / design the proper aggregating technique. It is vital for processing very wide price ranges (for example, 500 days on ES futures).
** The script correctly calculates POC by finding all the modes in the data & choosing the closest one to data's midrange.
For this kind of technical instrument finally it was more convenient to use Pine Script 5 (btw it's my first Pine 5).
Basically this script is a side-effect of another R&D I'm doing, the stuff is useful tho so let's go.
By choosing length we both specify the amount of data to be processed & the profile's location screen-wise. It's pretty cool and & useful, on my screen it's always almost touching the left side and still always visible.
The code is heavily commented in order to be understood fast, nothing fantastic, just a lil patience required this time.
Rationale
Market & volume profiles are well known concepts, lotta info available, the most important point of all that is that MP is just another way of visualizing data that lets you notice things you don't usually notice on sequential charts. From my side I can only add that it's better to use your own brain for thinking and reconsidering using volume profile in all the cases, especially on decentralized markets (unless you're aggregating ALL the volume data from everywhere, including options, OTC etc).
Here is it, for you
Magnifying Glass (LTF Candles) by SiddWolf█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays The Lower TimeFrame Candles in current chart, Like Zooming in on the Candle to see it's Lower TimeFrame Structure. It plots intrabar OHLC data inside a Label along with the volume structure of LTF candle in an eloquent format.
█ QUICK GUIDE
Just apply it to the chart, Hover the mouse on the Label and ta-da you have a Lower Timeframe OHLC candles on your screen. Move the indicator to the top and shrink it all the way up, because all the useful data is inside the label.
Inside the label: The OHLC ltf candles are pretty straightforward. Volume strength of ltf candles is shown at bottom and Volume Profile on the left. Read the Details below for more information.
In the settings, you will find the option to change the UI and can play around with Lower TimeFrame Settings.
█ DETAILS
First of all, I would like to thank the @TradingView team for providing the function to get access to the lower timeframe data. It is because of them that this magical indicator came into existence.
Magnifying Glass indicator displays a Candle's Lower TimeFrame data in Higher timeframe chart. It displays the LTF candles inside a label. It also shows the Volume structure of the lower timeframe candles. Range percentage shown at the bottom is the percentage change between high and low of the current timeframe candle. LTF candle's timeframe is also shown at the bottom on the label.
This indicator is gonna be most useful to the price action traders, which is like every profitable trader.
How this indicator works:
I didn't find any better way to display ltf candles other than labels. Labels are not build for such a complex behaviour, it's a workaround to display this important information.
It gets the lower timeframe information of the candle and uses emojis to display information. The area that is shown, is the range of the current timeframe candle. Range is a difference between high and low of the candle. Range percentage is also shown at the bottom in the label.
I've divided the range area into 20 parts because there are limitation to display data in the labels. Then the code checks out, in what area does the ltf candle body or wick lies, then displays the information using emojis.
The code uses matrix elements for each block and relies heavily on string manipulation. But what I've found most difficult, is managing to fit everything correctly and beautifully so that the view doesn't break.
Volume Structure:
Strength of the Lower TimeFrame Candles is shown at the bottom inside the label. The Higher Volume is shown with the dark shade color and Lower Volume is shown with the light shade. The volume of candles are also ranked, with 1 being the highest volume, so you can see which candle have the maximum to minimum volume. This is pretty important to make a price action analysis of the lower timeframe candles.
Inside the label on the left side you will see the volume profile. As the volume on the bottom shows the strength of each ltf candles, Volume profile on the left shows strength in a particular zone. The Darker the color, the higher the volume in the zone. The Highest volume on the left represents Point of Control (Volume Profile POC) of the candle.
Lower TimeFrame Settings:
There is a limitation for the lowest timeframe you can show for a chart, because there is only so much data you can fit inside a label. A label can show upto 20 blocks of emojis (candle blocks) per row. Magnifying Glass utilizes this behaviour of labels. 16 blocks are used to display ltf candles, 1 for volume profile and two for Open and Close Highlighter.
So for any chart timeframe, ltf candles can be 16th part of htf candle. So 4 hours chart can show as low as 15 minutes of ltf data. I didn't provide the open settings for changing the lower timeframe, as it would give errors in a lot of ways. You can change the timeframe for each chart time from the settings provided.
Limitations:
Like I mentioned earlier, this indicator is a workaround to display ltf candles inside a label. This indicator does not work well on smaller screens. So if you are not able to see the label, zoom out on your browser a bit. Move the indicator to either top or bottom of all indicators and shrink it's space because all details are inside the label.
█ How I use MAGNIFYING GLASS:
This indicator provides you an edge, on top of your existing trading strategy. How you use Magnifying Glass is entirely dependent on your strategy.
I use this indicator to get a broad picture, before getting into a trade. For example I see a Doji or Engulfing or any other famous candlestick pattern on important levels, I hover the mouse on Magnifying Glass, to look for the price action the ltf candles have been through, to make that pattern. I also use it with my "Wick Pressure" indicator, to check price action at wick zones. Whenever I see price touching important supply and demand zones, I check last few candles to read chart like a beautiful price action story.
Also volume is pretty important too. This is what makes Magnifying Glass even better than actual lower timeframe candles. The increasing volume along with up/down trend price shows upward/downward momentum. The sudden burst (peak) in the volume suggests volume climax.
Volume profile on the left can be interpreted as the strength/weakness zones inside a candle. The low volume in a price zone suggests weakness and High volume suggests strength. The Highest volume on the left act as POC for that candle.
Before making any trade, I read the structure of last three or four candles to get the complete price action picture.
█ Conclusion
Magnifying Glass is a well crafted indicator that can be used to track lower timeframe price action. This indicator gives you an edge with the Multi Timeframe Analysis, which I believe is the most important aspect of profitable trading.

VP and POCThis code is credited to juliangonzaconde. Have taken his help to modify his beautiful creation.
Volume profile is a key study when comes to understanding the auction trading process. Volume Profiles will show you exactly how much volume, as well as relative volume, occurred at each price as well as the exact number of contracts for the entire session. It is a visualization tool to understand the high activity zone and low activity zone.
Volume profile measures the confidence of the traders in the market. From short term trading perspective monitoring the developing volume profile in realtime make more sense to track current market participation behavior to take better trading decisions.
Hope this helps you in trading on daily timeframe.
Happy Trading.
Volume Footprint POC for Every CandleCalculating and plotting the Point of Control (POC) for every candle on a volume footprint chart can provide valuable insights for traders. Here are some interpretations and uses of this information:
1. Identify Key Price Levels
Highest Traded Volume: The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume for each candle. This level often acts as a significant support or resistance level.
Confluence Zones: When multiple POCs align at similar price levels over several candles, it indicates strong support or resistance zones.
2. Gauge Market Sentiment
Buyer and Seller Activity: High volume at certain price levels can indicate where buyers and sellers are most active. A rising POC suggests stronger buying activity, while a falling POC suggests stronger selling activity.
Volume Profile: Analyzing the volume profile helps in understanding the distribution of traded volume across different price levels, providing insights into market sentiment and potential reversals.
3. Spot Trends and Reversals
Trend Continuation: Consistent upward or downward shifts in POC levels can indicate a trend continuation. Traders can use this information to stay in trending positions.
Reversal Signals: A sudden change in the POC direction may signal a potential reversal. This can be used to take profits or enter new positions.
4. Intraday Trading Strategies
Short-Term Trading: Intraday traders can use the POC to make informed decisions on entry and exit points. For example, buying near the POC during an uptrend or selling near the POC during a downtrend.
Scalping Opportunities: High-frequency traders can use shifts in the POC to scalp small profits from price movements around these key levels.
5. Volume-Based Indicators
Confirmation of Other Indicators: The POC can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI) to confirm signals and improve trading accuracy.
Support and Resistance: Combining the POC with traditional support and resistance levels can provide a more comprehensive view of the market dynamics.
In summary, the Point of Control (POC) is a valuable tool for traders to understand market behavior, identify key levels, and make more informed trading decisions. If you have specific questions or need further details on how to use this information in your trading strategy, feel free to ask! 😊
MM Day Trader LevelsAs an intraday trader, there are certain key levels that I care about for short-term price action on every single chart. When I first began day trading, each morning I would painstakingly mark those key levels off on the charts I planned to trade each day. Depending on the number of charts I was watching, this would take up quite a bit of my time that I felt would have been much better spent doing other things. It also meant that those levels would often be left behind, and on later days I might be trading a symbol and get confused when a line appeared and I'd be paying attention to it only to later discover that it wasn't from prior day, but from some other day in the past when I had marked it off.
I looked all over TradingView to find indicators that did this automatically for me, and I found a lot of them. One by one I tried them, and inevitably I would always find that something was wrong with them. Often they didn't have all of the levels I wanted (so I would have to combine multiple indicators), but more often I found that the levels would be incorrect, or they would be buggy and not appear consistently, or they would not appear at the right time, or they would not work on futures! The list of problems went on and on. And the biggest issue I found was that nobody knew how to get session volume profile in an indicator.
So, over the course of a few years I figured out how to solve all of those problems and now I'm thrilled to present this free indicator for everyone like me who trades intraday and wants a clean consistent way to see the prior day levels that they care about automatically on every single chart (even futures). The levels the indicator provides are:
Yesterday High & Low
Value Area High & Low & Point of Control
Today's Open
Yesterday's Close (aka "Settlement" on futures)
Premarket High & Low (non-futures only)
Overnight High & Low (futures only)
These levels are extremely important, and I expect price to be reactive to them, so each level has a shaded background behind it so that the levels stand out against other lines you may have on your chart. I try to keep configuration as simple as possible, but there are configuration options that allow you to:
Hide any of the levels
Change the color for the levels
Shade the value area (or not)
Change the label text, size, type (basic label or plain text) and location (how far to the right of last candle to place the label
Adjust session volume profile value area volume & number of rows
The biggest advantage to this indicator over others on TradingView is how it handles session volume profile. When it comes to futures, TradingView does differentiate between regular trading hours and "electronic" trading hours on the charts, but their timeframes for those sessions are unusual, and they do not provide any programmatic way to differentiate between them. So, I created a whole new library for dealing with futures sessions that is fully integrated into both my Session Volume Profile library and this indicator, allowing me to bring you the best and only custom indicator available on TradingView that provides you with true regular session volume profile information across every type of symbol, including futures.
I'm incredibly proud of everything I've been able to provide with this indicator, and even more thrilled to say that I'm proud of how the indicator has been implemented. Once again releasing this indicator and all associated code for free and open source. I encourage you to take a look at the source code to see how it all works, take advantage of the free underlying libraries I created to make all of this possible: Session Library and Session Volume Profile Library.
Volume Positive & Negative Levels [ChartPrime]Volume Positive & Negative Levels
Overview:
The Volume Positive & Negative Levels indicator by ChartPrime is designed to provide traders with a clear visualization of volume activity across different price levels. By plotting volume levels as histograms, this tool helps identify significant areas of buying (positive volume) and selling (negative volume) pressure, enhancing the ability to spot potential support and resistance zones.
Key Features:
⯁ Lookback Period:
- The `lookbackPeriod` parameter, set to 500 bars, determines the range over which the volume analysis is conducted, ensuring a comprehensive view of the market’s volume activity. The maximum lookback period is 500 bars or the bars currently visible on the chart, whichever is smaller.
⯁ Dynamic Volume Calculation:
- Volume is calculated dynamically based on the price action, with positive volume indicating buying pressure (close > open) and negative volume indicating selling pressure (close < open).
⯁ Color Coding for Clarity:
- Positive Volume: Represented with a distinct color (`#ad9a2c`), making it easy to identify areas of buying interest.
- Negative Volume: Highlighted with another color (`#ad2cad`), simplifying the detection of selling pressure.
Volume Threshold and Bins:
- The indicator allows users to set a volume threshold (`volume_level`) to highlight significant volume levels, with the default set at 70.
- The number of bins (`numBins`) defines the granularity of the volume profile, with a higher number providing more detail.
⯁ Volume Profile Visualization:
- The volume profile is plotted as a histogram, with the height of each bar proportional to the volume at that price level. This visualization helps in quickly assessing the strength of volume at various price points.
⯁ Interactive Labels and Threshold Indicators:
- Labels: The indicator uses labels to mark significant volume levels, providing quick reference points for traders.
- Threshold Lines: Lines are drawn at specified volume thresholds, with colors and widths dynamically adjusted based on the volume levels.
⯁ User Inputs:
- Volume Threshold (`volume_level`): Sets the minimum volume required to highlight significant levels.
- Number of Bins (`numBins`): Determines the resolution of the volume profile.
- Line Width (`line_withd`): Specifies the width of the lines used in the visualization.
The Volume Positive & Negative Levels indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to gain deeper insights into market dynamics. By providing a clear visual representation of volume activity across different price levels, it helps traders identify key support and resistance zones, spot trends, and make more informed trading decisions. Whether you are a day trader or a swing trader, this indicator enhances your ability to analyze volume data effectively, improving your overall trading strategy.
TwV Market SignalsSignals Indicator
Summary
This indicator allows traders to have in handy short and long signals and estimate the trend of the market.
The indicator draws Long and Short signals depending on the trend analysis. The indicators also use meaningful colors for traders to be able to visually understand the graphs, such us fillings on EMAs, so the possible trend is represented.
The colors used are light green for bullish, red for bearish, dark green for possible bearish to bullish change and purple for possible bullish to bearish change. These colors are applicable to all fillings and summary box.
How to use this indicator
The use of EMAs 10,20 and 50 draw the medium to long term trends, therefore avoiding signals against the trend. Furthermore the EMAs will advise possible change in trends, specially considering the 10 and 20 cross, considering that crossing the 10,20 and 50, might confirm the change in med to long term trend change of the price. This is completely visual in the chart as it tints green for positive trend and yellow to red for negative trend.
The 200 SMA is included as it also gives better confirmation to the trend, the basics tell that when the EMAs mentioned above are below the 200 SMA then the likelihood for entries in long positions are not the best and vice versa for short.
Therefore, the trader shall filter Long and Short Signals accordingly as this EMAs are not used to send Long and Short signals considering that they confirm the trend in a slow pace and not reactively to the price volatility.
There are two strategies built-in within the indicator:
Strategy 1 – Longer time trades and high volatility handling
The Long and Short Signals are based on 14 and EMAs (by default). This two Mas are used to send signals based on their crossovers as they are way more reactive to the price movement.
Trader shall consider that EMAs are used for higher timeframes, therefore the indicator has the possibility to adjust the EMAs and use SMAs or WMAs instead for one or the two parameters (14 and 21).
WMAs react faster to the price volatility so the trader shall adjust this according to the timeframe being used. (Lower timeframes suggested).
This strategy is used for trades that might keep running for longer periods of times.
For reference on what the SMAs, EMAs and WMAs are, please see below sections in the description.
Strategy 2 - Shorter time trades and unhandled high volatility
The Long and Short Signals are bases on HMA. HMAs (Hull Moving Averages) track the price movement and volatility way faster that SMAs, EMAs and WMAs, therefore as the HMA follow the price quicker, it is intended for short time trades even in higher timeframes.
Scalping is not suggested using this strategy as HMA do not handle high volatility even on higher timeframes.
One of the biggest differences from the first strategy is that there is no more than a single HMA length to work with, which is 24 as default.
HMAs calculation is different to other MAs, therefore combining various HMAs lengths looking for crossovers become trend identification a lot less precise. HMAs are not intended to be used with different length crossovers.
Exit points = The use of Stochastic and VRVP
Stochastic RSI
It is well known that when Stochastic RSI resets when overbought or oversold therefore traders have within a summary box the possibility to check whether the K & D lines in the Stochastic RSI hace crossed over bullish or bearish.
Although the crossover is not mandatory for a change trend, the crossover might be used by the trader to exit a position considering that the price might move on the opposite direction.
Traders shall look at the summary box, where bullish and bearish crossovers are shown, so they evaluate their position exit.
Visible Range Volume Profile
The use of the VRVP is to find support and resistance on the price movements. Although high and lows are used as possible supports and resistances, VRVP shows an area of confluence on the order book, where volume of positions are accumulated and that might act as support or resistance depending on the price direction.
Traders can visually activate the VRVP to see the Point of Control (POC) directly on the chart as a line (similar as how a support or resistance would be drawn). Moreover, traders have the ability to see within the summary box, whether to see if the price is above or below the POC, so they clearly know if it is acting as support or resistance.
Price Direction
Trade the market trend is well know to be used to identify possible price direction. It is important not to confuse the longer time trend drawn by the EMAs with the TTM Trend bar color. The TTM trend colors bars according to the price direction, helping traders not to confuse when a red bar appears on an up trend or green bars on a down trend.
This coloring helps traders not to exit trades based on bar coloring, which might psychologically affect when scalping or short-term trading specially.
Originally, the TTM trend is used considering the ADX in and indicator called TTM Squeeze, where the strength of the movement is measured, therefore although candle colors help with the price direction, ADX provides the trader the ability to see whether the direction is losing momentum and then catch the best possible exit before the direction change.
How to use Summary
1. Receive the Long or Short Signals using strategy 1 or 2, depending on the selected in the main menu of the indicator.
2. Evaluate the trend based on the 10,20, 50 and 200 MAs. Filter the Long and Short signals accordingly.
3. Monitor constantly the TTM Trend and the ADX for the direction and strength of the position entered and review if the momentum is being lost, considering step 4 or other possible reasons that might lead to exiting the position.
4. Once entered to a position evaluate constantly the Stochastic RSI bearish or bullish crossover or POC value on screen or summary box to exit the position.
Terminology basics
Trend indicators
Exponential Moving Average (EMAs): The base indicator is composed of moving averages of 10, 20 and 55 exponential periods, to determine a possible bullish or bearish trend (EMA Crossing)
Simple Moving Average (SMA): The base indicator is composed of a moving average of 200 simple periods, which in conjunction with the EMAs can lead to estimate potential upward or downwards moves, as well as possible resistances. (SMA Positioning)
Weighted moving average (WMA): It is a technical indicator that traders use to generate trade direction and make a long or short position. It assigns greater weighting to recent data points and less weighting on past data points. (WMA Crossing)
Strength and S/R indicators
VPVR (Volume Profile Visible Range): It allows to determine the Point of Control (POC) which is the node with the highest volume profile. This can be used as an important retest point or to calculate potential support and resistance. The POC level is represented with a red dotted line in the graph.
The VPVR is a simplified version of the “TwV Multi-timeframe Dynamic VRVP” that you can find for free use in my profile. This version calculates the main’s timeframe POC and also has the possibility to be fixed range if the trader enables it from the menu. (Dynamic range by default).
ADX (Average Directional Index): The ADX helps the indicator to estimate the strength of the movement, always considering the DI+ and DI- to not go against the trend strength. This is represented as summary text in a table.
/
Exit indicator
Stochastic RSI: It is an indicator used in technical analysis that ranges between zero and a hundred and is created by applying the Stochastic oscillator formula to a set of relative strength index (RSI) values rather than to standard price data. Using RSI values within the Stochastic formula gives traders an idea of whether the current RSI value is overbought or oversold (Exit zones)
/
Summary Panel
This panel allows the trader to have a summary of the current status (bearish or bullish) of some of the most determinant indicators within the strategy. It has the following characteristics:
It is placed on the right bottom side of the chart by the default. Traders can change its position or hidden it through the main menu of the indicator.
Its colors change according to the indicator’s values and constant change for easier detection.
The summary box shows the projection for each of the indicators (Trend, Stochastic, EMA, VPVR and ADX).
The summary box is multi-language (English and Spanish), which can be changes in the main menu of the indicator
Alerts
Within the indicator’s menu, you can set up alerts for all long, short, close long and close short signals, which might come in handy when the trader would like to have notifications on the Trading View website, desktop app or phone apps. Furthermore, there are also signals for possible exit points, which can also be activated from the indicator’s menu.
Period Value ZonesPeriod Value Zones is designed to help traders understand where current value is being found by splitting the day into 3 key periods based on common reversal times recognized for intraday trading.
By splitting the day into 3 periods, we can more efficiently determine where short-term value lies by using only the data we consider relevant during these periods of time.
> Overview
This indicator is recommended for low timeframe trading during the New York RTH Session.
By only trading within this session, we can ensure that volume and volatility remain fairly consistent.
Within each Period, you will find on the chart:
Value Area Points from Previous period (Value High(VAH)/Value Low(VAL)/Point of Control(POC))
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) Cloud, based on High and Low values during the period.
Value Zone based Potential Reversal Zones.
Additional Displays:
Potential Reversal Detection Signals with Invalidation Levels
Forward Plotted Key Market times.
> Components
• Value Area Points
VAH/VAL/POC are important volume profile points which display where the market has previously held value.
We use these specific levels as support and resistance to confirm direction by monitoring interactions between price and these important levels.
The VAH and VAL lines change colors based on price's interaction with them to confirm whether that level should be regarded as support or resistance.
• VWAP Cloud
VWAP is a common metric used to determine the strength of a trend, and provides a point to look for re-bid & re-offer.
When price breaks out of our Fixed Value zone, VWAP helps us determine further direction.
Also included is VWAP deviation bands, for traders who would prefer to view the standard deviation away from this cloud as well.
• Value Reversal Zones
These Zones are calculated based on extensions of the Period Value Zone.
While in a balanced market, these zones have been shown to provide potential reversal opportunities.
• Potential Reversal Signals
These signals are based on an advanced method for confirming a higher-low or lower-high to reasonably create a signal that is not very laggy but also rooted in sound logic.
While helpful, These are NOT buy or sell signals, and you should always use further analysis to decide the next steps to take.
When a signal appears, an associated invalidation level is also displayed, if this level is crossed the associated signal is no longer considered relevant.
• Key Market Times
These are important times within the day that normally produce volatility caused by daily market catalysts.
Each key time is forward plotted 1 hour before it occurs to provide a clear heads up for potential opportunity.
Opening Fuel: Known for having an increase in Volume after the formation of the 15min Opening Range.
1st Reversal: Common Area for seeing initial large positioning effecting the market, often causing reversals.
Initial Balance Close: End of the first hour, a common positioning tool for futures traders.
2nd Reversal: Positioning is typically reactionary to IB Close, alongside Euro Traders Exiting Positions.
Euro Close: Close of Europe Session, a common positioning tool for futures traders.
Lunch: Usually Low Volume, traders are often out to lunch.
Lunch End: Volume tends to re-enter, as traders come back from lunch.
1st Reversal: New Hour, common area to see large position re-enter the market.
Bonds Close: Bonds markets close, Equities reacting to close of the bond market.
1st MOC: Initial Market on Close orders are places, market reaction is normally expected off of MOC positioning.
MOC Close: As MOC orders are reported, volatility is likely found within the market.
> Methodology
This indicator can be used with the same principles as trading balanced volume profiles.
Rule 1: Unless the price breaks and holds Value High or Value Low, we should expect buyers and sellers to maintain the current balance.
Rule 2: If we break and push away from the Period Value High, we should treat that level as supportive on retest unless we look back below and sellers defend on retest.
Rule 3: If we break and push away from the Period Value Low, we should treat that level as resistance on retest unless we look back above and buyers defend on retest.
Rule 4: If we recover Value Low, and it becomes supportive, we look for our Period POC and Period Value High as our targets above.
Rule 5: If we fail to hold Period Value High, and it becomes resistance, we look for our Period POC and Period Value Low as targets below.
Balance in the context of this indicator is considered as the area between Period Value High and Period Value Low
Acceptance outside of balance in the context of this indicator is considered as Period Value Low or High, becoming supportive or resistance.
> Examples
Theoretical Example:
In the bullish example below, price holds VWAP and makes POC supportive, showing interest from buyers pushing to Value High.
Real-World Example:
Below is an example of the same setup as the theoretical example, taking place on a real futures chart.
By utilizing these rules, we can look for opportunities at these levels and have a plan for how we should be interacting with them.
This will help us determine likely targets and risk-off levels that are based on volume and current "value" from participants.
Hybrid Profile [DW]This is an experimental study inspired by J. Peter Steidlmayer's Market Profile tool with an alternative set of calculations for analyzing price action and distribution over a defined interval.
This tool is geared toward finding price reactive points for better entry and exit positions.
In this script, price range over a user defined interval (up to 4000 bars) is divided into 50 sections, then TPOs are counted for each section to generate the distribution histogram. Histogram lines are calculated in real time, and recalculate on each new bar.
Areas of significance are displayed as purple lines in the histogram, making it incredibly simple to identify levels that price will likely react to. The significance sensitivity can be manually adjusted for desired output.
Rather than using POC, I created a series of proprietary calculations to generate what I call the Point Of Focus (POF). This line is similar to POC, but does not always follow the highest count in the distribution.
The POF is designed to experience less whipsaws than POC, which makes trading using the POF much simpler since its value is more consistent. On historical data, price has shown to either revert to or launch from the POF rather frequently.
Unlike a conventional Market Profile, this profile doesn't have a "value area". Instead it has a Mean Value Zone, which is calculated using a series of custom VWAP calculations. The output is similar to VA, but much smoother.
This script has a built in tick volume substitution for charts with no real volume data, making all elements of the script compatible with any cryptocurrency, stock, currency pair, or index you want to analyze.
A bar color scheme is included within this script which can be used to help determine dominant trend and local extremes of the interval.
This tool is not necessarily better or worse than the classic Market Profile, nor is it a replacement for Volume Profile.
However, this is a powerful alternative that can both simplify and improve your technical analysis.
