Session Profile AnalyzerWhat’s This Thing Do?
Hey there, trader! Meet the Session Profile Analyzer (SPA) your new go-to pal for breaking down market action within your favorite trading sessions. It’s an overlay indicator that mixes Rotation Factor (RF), Average Subperiod Range (ASPR), Volume Value Area Range (VOLVAR), and TPO Value Area Range (TPOVAR) into one tidy little toolkit. Think of it as your market vibe checker momentum, volatility, and key levels, all served up with a grin.
The Cool Stuff It Does:
Rotation Factor (RF) : Keeps tabs on whether the market’s feeling bullish, bearish, or just chilling. It’s like a mood ring for price action shows “UP ↑,” “DOWN ↓,” or “NONE ↔.”
ASPR : Averages out the range of your chosen blocks. Big swings? Tiny wiggles? This tells you the session’s energy level.
VOLVAR : Dives into volume to find where the action’s at, with a smart twist it adjusts price levels based on the session’s size and tiny timeframe moves (capped at 128 so your chart doesn’t cry).
TPOVAR : Grabs lower timeframe data to spot where price hung out the most, TPO-style. Value zones, anyone?
Dynamic Precision : No ugly decimal overload SPA matches your asset’s style (2 decimals for BTC, 5 for TRX, you get it).
How to Play With It:
Session Start/End : Pick your trading window (say, 0930-2200) and a timezone (America/New_York, or wherever you’re at).
Block Size : Set the chunk size for RF and ASPR like 30M if you’re into half-hour vibes.
Value Area Timeframe : Go micro with something like 1S for VOLVAR and TPOVAR precision.
Label : Size it (small to huge), color it (white, neon pink, whatever), and slap it where you want (start, mid, end).
How It All Works (No PhD Required):
RF : Imagine breaking your session into blocks (via Block Size). For each block, SPA checks if the high beats the last high (+1) or not (0), and if the low dips below the last low (-1) or not (0). Add those up, and boom positive RF means upward vibes, negative means downward, near zero is “meh.” Use it to catch trends or spot when the market’s napping.
ASPR : Takes those same blocks, measures high-to-low range each time, and averages them. It’s your volatility pulse big ASPR = wild ride, small ASPR = snooze fest. Great for sizing up session action.
VOLVAR : Here’s the fun part. It takes the session’s full range (high minus low), divides it by the average range of your tiny Value Area Timeframe bars (e.g., 1S), and picks a sensible number of price levels capped at 128 so it doesn’t overthink. Then it bins volume into those levels, finds the busiest price (POC), and grows a 70% value area around it. Perfect for spotting where the big players parked their cash.
TPOVAR : Grabs midpoints from those tiny timeframe bars, sorts them, and snips off the top and bottom 15% to find the 70% “value zone” where price chilled the most. Think of it as the market’s comfort zone great for support/resistance hunting.
Why You’ll Like It:
Whether you’re scalping crypto, swinging forex, or dissecting stocks, SPA’s got your back. Use RF to catch momentum shifts like jumping on an “UP ↑” trend or fading a “DOWN ↓” exhaustion. ASPR’s your secret weapon for sizing up trades: a big ASPR (say, 100 on BTC) means you can aim for juicy targets (like 1-2x ASPR) or set invalidations tight when it’s tiny (e.g., 0.001 on TRX) to dodge chop. VOLVAR and TPOVAR are your level-finders nail those key zones where price loves to bounce or break, perfect for entries, stops, or profit grabs. It’s like having a trading co-pilot who’s chill but knows their stuff.
Heads-Up:
Load enough history for those micro timeframes to shine (1S needs some bars to work with).
Keeps things light won’t bog down your chart even with decent-sized sessions.
Let’s Roll:
Slap SPA on your chart, tweak it to your style, and watch it spill the beans on your session. Happy trading, fam may your pips be plenty and your losses few!
Volume Profile [ActiveQuants]The Volume Profile indicator visualizes the distribution of trading volume across price levels over a user-defined historical period. It identifies key liquidity zones, including the Point of Control (POC) (price level with the highest volume) and the Value Area (price range containing a specified percentage of total volume). This tool is ideal for traders analyzing support/resistance levels, market sentiment , and potential price reversals .
█ CORE METHODOLOGY
Vertical Price Rows: Divides the price range of the selected lookback period into equal-height rows.
Volume Aggregation: Accumulates bullish/bearish or total volume within each price row.
POC: The row with the highest total volume.
Value Area: Expands from the POC until cumulative volume meets the user-defined threshold (e.g., 70%).
Dynamic Visualization: Rows are plotted as horizontal boxes with widths proportional to their volume.
█ KEY FEATURES
- Customizable Lookback & Resolution
Adjust the historical period ( Lookback ) and granularity ( Number of Rows ) for precise analysis.
- Configurable Profile Width & Horizontal Offset
Control the relative horizontal length of the profile rows, and set the distance from the current bar to the POC row’s anchor.
Important: Do not set the horizontal offset too high. Indicators cannot be plotted more than 500 bars into the future.
- Value Area & POC Highlighting
Set the percentage of total volume required to form the Value Area , ensuring that key volume levels are clearly identified.
Value Area rows are colored distinctly, while the POC is marked with a bold line.
- Flexible Display Options
Show bullish/bearish volume splits or total volume.
Place the profile on the right or left of the chart.
- Gradient Coloring
Rows fade in color intensity based on their relative volume strength .
- Real-Time Adjustments
Modify horizontal offset, profile width, and appearance without reloading.

The Volume Profile indicator provides a dynamic, customizable view of market liquidity. By highlighting the POC and Value Area, traders can identify high-probability reversal zones, gauge market sentiment, and align entries/exits with key volume levels.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Lookback Period: Shorter lookbacks prioritize recent activity but may omit critical levels.
⚠ Horizontal Offset Limitation: Avoid excessively high offsets (e.g., close to ±300). TradingView restricts plotting indicators more than 500 bars into the future, which may truncate or hide the profile.
⚠ Risk Management: While the indicator highlights areas of concentrated volume, always use it in combination with other technical analysis tools and proper risk management techniques.
█ RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading involves substantial risk. The Volume Profile highlights historical liquidity but does not predict future price movements. Always use stop-loss orders and confirm signals with additional analysis. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
📊 Happy trading! 🚀
Volume Buy/Sell ChartVolume Buy/Sell Chart

Volume Pressure Histogram (Normalized)Overview
The Volume Pressure Histogram is designed to help traders analyze buying and selling pressure using real volume data.
Unlike traditional momentum indicators that rely solely on price movements, VPH measures the strength of bullish and bearish volume, providing insights into market participation.
How It Works
The histogram represents the difference between buying and selling volume over a selected period.
Green bars indicate strong buying pressure, while red bars signal strong selling pressure.
Lime and orange bars (if enabled) represent moderate buying and selling activity.
A white signal line smooths volume data to track momentum shifts over time.
How to Use It
Trend Confirmation: When price is rising and green bars increase, the trend is supported by real buying pressure.
Reversal Detection: If price makes a new high but green bars shrink, buyers may be losing strength.
Breakout Strength: A breakout with rising volume pressure confirms strong participation, while weak volume pressure suggests a potential fake move.
Divergence Signals: If price moves higher, but volume pressure declines, the move may lack conviction and could reverse.
Customization Options
Threshold Multiplier (default = 20) controls when green and red bars appear, filtering out weaker signals.
Log Scale Option helps normalize extreme volume spikes.
Adjustable Smoothing Length for both the histogram and signal line.
Why Use This Indicator
Provides a volume-based approach to analyzing market trends.
Can confirm or contradict price movements, helping identify strong or weak trends.
Works across multiple markets, including stocks, forex, crypto, and indices.

WhaleTrackBITGET:BTCUSDT.P
WhaleTrack – Volume Heatmap to Uncover Institutional Trading Activity
Overview
WhaleTrack is a volume-based heatmap indicator designed to reveal areas of high institutional trading activity. The indicator helps traders identify hidden support and resistance levels, analyze trend sustainability, and optimize stop-loss placements by displaying where significant market participants (whales) have historically traded in large volumes.
Institutions and large traders often push price into areas of historical liquidity to trigger retail stop-losses and fill their own large orders at optimal prices. WhaleTrack visualizes these critical areas, allowing traders to anticipate future price movements based on past institutional behavior.
How WhaleTrack Works
WhaleTrack analyzes historical trading volume and calculates a normalized volume intensity relative to the moving average (SMA). This data is then mapped onto a heatmap that highlights key liquidity zones.
1. Volume Normalization & SMA-Based Calculation
The script calculates the ratio of current volume to its SMA-based average.
Zones with significantly high volume spikes are identified as key liquidity areas where large traders may have accumulated or distributed assets.
The volume is quantized into different levels, ranging from Low to Extreme, creating a clear heatmap gradient.
2. Why Do Whales Manipulate Liquidity?
Large traders (whales) need liquidity to execute their orders.
They push price into historical high-volume areas to trigger stop-losses and force retail traders into selling.
This behavior allows them to accumulate at lower prices or distribute at higher prices before a major move.
Whale zones often act as support/resistance because institutions tend to protect their previous accumulation or distribution levels.
3. Heatmap Color Model & Zone Classification
WhaleTrack assigns volume intensity levels based on historical market participation:
Low → Minimal volume, weak interest
Low-Mid → Slightly increased volume
Mid → Standard trading activity, no major anomalies
Mid-High → Significant increase in volume, possible whale activity
High → Strong liquidity pool, institutional interest
Extreme → Highly concentrated volume, key reversal area
By observing these zones, traders can determine whether a price level is likely to hold as support or resistance , or if a breakout has the strength to sustain.
Trading Applications of WhaleTrack
WhaleTrack can be used to identify trade setups based on liquidity behavior:
1. Identifying Hidden Reversal Points (Support & Resistance)
Large Whale Zones below price → Likely strong support.
Large Whale Zones above price → Likely strong resistance.
These zones often lead to reversals, as large traders defend their previous positions.
2. Evaluating Trend Sustainability
A strong uptrend should leave multiple high-volume zones behind.
If no new high-volume zones form, the trend may be unsustainable.
High volume clusters in trend direction? → Likely trend continuation.
3. Optimizing Stop-Loss Placement
Placing stops inside whale zones increases stop-out risk.
Setting stops below whale buy zones protects against premature liquidation.
Stops above whale sell zones help avoid fake breakouts.
Customization & Settings
WhaleTrack is designed with flexibility in mind, offering multiple customization options:
1. Layout & Color Models
WhaleTrack Default – optimized for whale volume tracking
Model 1 & Model 2 – alternative heatmap color schemes
Contrast Mode – high visibility
White-Black & Black-White – for different chart backgrounds
Custom 1 & Custom 2 – user-defined color configurations
2. Advanced Options
Draw Full Candle Boxes – display full candle height or a partial range
Legend Visibility & Positioning – control placement of the heatmap legend
Exponential Color Model – choose between logarithmic and linear volume representation
Max Transparency Settings – adjust visibility of older zones
Number of Heatmap Colors – set the gradient sensitivity
3. Data Optimization Settings
Lookback Period – define how many bars are analyzed for volume normalization
Max Box Display – limit the number of displayed volume zones
Data Saver Mode – increase range at the expense of detail
Minimum Volume Threshold – filter out insignificant volume clusters

Footprint IQ Pro [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Introducing "Footprint IQ Pro"!
Footprint IQ Pro is an all-in-one Footprint indicator with several unique features.
Features
Calculated delta at tick level
Calculated delta ratio at tick level
Calculated buy volume at tick level
Calculated sell volume at tick level
Imbalance detection
Stacked imbalance detection
Stacked imbalance alerts
Value area and POC detection
Highest +net delta levels detection
Lowest -net delta levels detection
CVD by tick levels
Customizable values area percentage
The image above thoroughly outlines what each metric in the delta boxes shows!
Metrics In Delta Boxes
"δ:", " δ%:", " ⧎: ", " ◭: ", " ⧩: "
δ Delta (Difference between buy and sell volume)
δ% Delta Ratio (Delta as a percentage of total volume)
⧎ Total Volume At Level (Total volume at the price area)
◭ Total Buy Volume At Level (Total buy volume at the price area)
⧩ Total Sell Volume At Level (total sell volume at the price area)
Each metric comes with a corresponding symbol.
That said, until you become comfortable with the symbol, you can also turn on the descriptive labels setting!
The image above exemplifies the feature.
The image above shows Footprint IQ's full power!
Additionally, traders with an upgraded TradingView plan can make use of the "1-Second" feature Footprint IQ offers!
The image above shows each footprint generated using 1-second volume data. 1-second data is highly granular compared to 1-minute data and, consequently, each footprint is exceptionally more accurate!
Imbalance Detection
Footprint IQ pro is capable of detecting user-defined delta imbalances.
The image above further explains how Footprint IQ detects imbalances!
The imbalance percentage is customizable in the settings, and is set to 70% by default.
Therefore,
When net delta is positive, and the positive net delta constitutes >=70% of the total volume, a buying imbalance will be detected (upwards triangle).
When net delta is negative, and the negative net delta constitutes >=70% of the total volume, a buying imbalance will be detected (downwards triangle).
Stacked Imbalance Detection
In addition to imbalance detection, Footprint IQ Pro can also detect stacked imbalances!
The image above shows Footprint IQ Pro detecting stacked imbalances!
Stacked imbalances occur when consecutive imbalances at sequential price areas occur. Stacked imbalances are generally interpreted as significant price moves that are supported by volume, rather than a significant result with disproportionate effort.
The criteria for stacked imbalance detection (how many imbalances must occur at sequential price areas) is customizable in the settings.
The default value is three. Therefore, when three imbalances occur at sequential price areas, golden triangles will begin to print to show a stacked imbalance.
Additionally, traders can set alerts for when stacked imbalances occur!
Highest +Delta and Highest -Delta Levels
In addition to being a fully-fledged Footprint indicator, Footprint IQ Pro goes one step further by detecting price areas where the greater +Delta and -Delta are!
The image above shows price behavior near highest +Delta price areas detected by Footprint IQ!
These +Delta levels are considered important as there has been strong interest from buyers at these price areas when they are traded at.
It's expected that these levels can function as support points that are supported by volume.
The image above shows a similar function for resistance points!
Blue lines = High +Delta Detected Price Areas
Red lines = High -Delta Detected Price Areas
Value Area Detection
Similar to traditional volume profile, Footprint IQ Pro displays the value area per bar.
Green lines next to each footprint show the value area for the bar. The value area % is customizable in the settings.
CVD Levels
Footprint IQ Pro is capable of storing historical volume delta information to provide CVD measurements at each price area!
The image above exemplifies this feature!
When this feature is enabled, you will see the CVD of each price area, rather than the net delta!
And that's it!
Thank you so much to TradingView for offering the greatest charting platform for everyone to create on!
If you have any feature requests you'd like to see for Footprint IQ, please feel free to share them with us!
Thank you!

█ TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
Exceeding Bars Management
The script dynamically adjusts the number of bars used in the volume profile calculation based on the selected timeframe and the maximum allowed bars (max_bars_back).
If the total number of bars exceeds the predefined threshold (6000 bars), the script reduces the lookback period (lookback_bars) by trimming some of the historical data, ensuring the chart does not become overloaded with data.
The adjustment is made based on the ratio of bars per candle (bars_per_candle), ensuring that the volume profile remains computationally efficient while maintaining its relevance.
█ EXAMPLE USE CASES
1. Visible Range Mode
For analyzing a recent trend and focusing on only the visible part of the chart, enabling the "Use Visible Chart Range" option calculates the profile based on the current view, without considering historical data outside the visible area.
2. Fixed Lookback Depth
For analyzing a specific period in the past (e.g., the last 200 bars), disabling the visible range and setting a fixed lookback depth of 200 bars ensures the profile always considers the last 200 bars, regardless of the visible range.
3. Custom Resolution
If there’s a need for greater control over the timeframe used for volume profile calculations (e.g., using a 5-minute resolution on a 15-minute chart), enabling custom resolution and setting the desired timeframe provides this control.

Rolling Angled Volume Profile [Trendoscope®]🎲 Volume Profile Indicators
🎯Traditional Volume Profile
Volume profile indicators visually represent the distribution of volume across price levels. These indicators typically operate on horizontal price levels, making them effective in identifying supply and demand zones in ranging markets. However, they are less useful in trending markets where price movements follow a slope.
🎯The Need for Angled Volume Profiles
Just as support and resistance levels differ from trendlines, volume profile indicators require an equivalent method to account for volume distribution along a sloped trajectory. This would enable more accurate volume analysis in trending markets.
We identified the need of Angled Volume profile and have already published few indicators that implements the concept.
Angled Volume Profile calculates volume distribution along a slope. Users interact with the indicator by selecting the starting point, after which the volume profile is calculated for the selected trajectory.
Volume Forks is another tool that extends angled volume profile analysis, aligning volume profiles along the trajectory of pitchforks.
🎲 Rolling Volume Profile Indicator
The Rolling Volume Profile offers a new approach to angled volume profile calculations, addressing some limitations of earlier implementations:
🎯 Rolling Calculation
The volume profile is calculated for the last N bars of the instrument
The slope of the profile lines is determined by the closing prices of the starting and ending bars
Profiles are drawn in the direction of price movement between the start and end bars.
🎯 Dynamic Updates
As new bars are added, the calculations are updated, and the profile is redrawn based on the latest data.
This dynamic behavior earns it the name "Rolling Volume Profile."
🎯 Advantages Over Earlier Versions
Unlimited Profile Lines : Unlike previous implementations limited to 500 profile lines, this indicator uses polyline objects, overcoming the restriction.
Live Updates : Previous angled volume profile tools lacked real-time updates when new bars appeared. This limitation is resolved in the Rolling Volume Profile Indicator.
The Rolling Volume Profile provides an efficient and scalable solution for analyzing volume in trending markets.
🎯 Indicator Settings
Simple settings include few customisable options
Volume Delta Filtered Overlay v1.1 by RamtraderbookVolume Delta Filtered Overlay v1.1 by Ramtraderbook
This indicator visually displays the volume delta directly on the price chart using colored circles. Its main goal is to highlight significant changes in the volume delta, categorizing them by direction and magnitude.
How It Works
1. Volume Delta Calculation
- Measures the difference between buying and selling volume on a lower time frame.
2. Threshold Filter
- Only displays data if the delta exceeds a minimum threshold set by the user.
3. Colors by Direction
- Bullish color: If the delta is positive (more buying).
- Bearish color: If the delta is negative (more selling).
4. Circle Placement
- Circles are placed above the candle for a positive delta and below the candle for a negative delta.
Customizable Inputs
- Delta Threshold: Defines the minimum delta value that will be plotted.
- Customizable Colors: Allows you to set different colors for positive and negative delta circles.
- **Lower Time Frame**: Scans data on a lower time frame for greater accuracy.
Important Note on Data
TradingView does not handle market depth data such as order book information. The volume delta calculation is an approximation based on the asset’s volume and price behavior. This means it does not precisely reflect the actual flow of buy or sell orders in the market, but rather an estimate derived from available data.
Conclusion
The **Volume Delta Filtered Overlay v1.1 by Ramtraderbook** is a visual tool that helps quickly identify significant buy or sell volume movements, making it ideal for strategies that rely on order flow analysis. However, it is recommended to combine it with other tools for a more comprehensive analysis.
Volume Delta Filtered v1.1 by RamtraderbookIndicator Explanation: Volume Delta_RTB (Filtered)
General Description
The Volume Delta_RTB (Filtered) indicator is designed to analyze the volume delta of a financial asset and highlight only significant changes based on a configured threshold. This indicator is useful for detecting moments when buying volume exceeds selling volume (or vice versa), providing a clear view of market pressure.
What is Volume Delta?
Volume delta measures the difference between buying and selling volume over a given time period. A positive delta indicates that buying prevails over selling, while a negative delta indicates the opposite.
Indicator Inputs
The indicator has several customizable parameters to suit the user’s needs:
1. Volume Delta Threshold
- Allows you to set a minimum volume delta value.
- Only indicator values that exceed this absolute delta threshold will be displayed.
- Default value: 100,000.
2. Use of a Lower Time Frame
- Option to analyze data from a lower time frame than the main chart.
Operating Logic
1. Selection of the Lower Time Frame
- The indicator scans data from a lower time frame to accurately calculate the volume delta.
- By default, it automatically selects an appropriate lower time frame, though it can be set manually.
2. Calculation of Volume Delta
- Using the `ta.requestVolumeDelta` function, the indicator calculates:
- Volume delta at the start of the period (`openVolume`).
- Maximum delta (`maxVolume`).
- Minimum delta (`minVolume`).
- Last recorded delta (`lastVolume`).
3. Filtering Values
- If the absolute value of `lastVolume` (the last volume delta) is below the configured threshold (`deltaThreshold`), the data will not be displayed on the chart.
- This allows the indicator to highlight only significant movements, avoiding unnecessary noise.
4. Visualization
- Volume delta is represented by candles to facilitate interpretation:
- Yellow candles for positive delta (buying prevails).
- Pink candles for negative delta (selling prevails).
- A horizontal line at `0` serves as a reference.
- Colors can be configured as needed.
5. Data Validation
- If the data provider does not provide volume information for the asset, the indicator will display an error message.
Indicator Advantages
- Efficient Filtering: Focus on the most relevant movements in terms of volume, ignoring small or insignificant values.
- Adaptable: Offers customization options for both the delta threshold and the time frame.
- Clear Visualization: Colored candles make it easier to spot dominant buying or selling trends.
NOTE:
- Estimated Delta Data: Since TradingView does not have access to market depth data or an exact breakdown of buying and selling volume, the delta calculations are approximations based on price and volume behavior.
- Data Provider Dependency: Some assets or instruments may not have volume information available, limiting the indicator’s use.

Holding Volume StrengthHolding Volume Strength Indicator
1. Overview :
The Holding Volume Strength indicator is designed to measure the buying and selling volume based on price action (bullish vs. bearish candles) over a user-defined lookback period. This indicator helps traders gauge the strength of market participants' involvement (buyers vs. sellers) during a specific time frame.
2. Key Inputs :
- Lookback Period : The period over which you want to calculate the Buy and Sell volumes. For example, a lookback of 5 will calculate the volume for the current candle and the previous candle , while a lookback of 10 will consider the current candle and the 9 preceding candles.
- Text Color : This allows customization of the label's text color for better visibility and style.
3. Volume Calculation :
- Buy Volume : If the close price of a candle is greater than its open price (bullish candle), the body size (difference between open and close) is multiplied by the volume for that candle to calculate the buy volume. This represents the market's buying strength.
- Sell Volume : If the close price of a candle is less than its open price (bearish candle), the body size is multiplied by the volume for that candle to calculate the sell volume. This represents the market's selling strength.
4. Volume Display :
The Buy and Sell Volumes are displayed in a readable format, such as:
- Buy Volume: "1.5M" (1.5 million)
- Sell Volume: "500K" (500 thousand)
These values can help identify whether buying or selling is more dominant over a specified period.
5. Label Display :
The calculated Buy and Sell volumes are shown as labels on the main price chart (overlay). These labels dynamically update with each new candle and show the values for the current candle and the previous `n` candles (based on the lookback period).
---
How This Indicator Helps in Making Buy/Sell Decisions :
1. Volume Analysis :
- High Buy Volume : A significant amount of buying volume can indicate strong market interest in the asset, suggesting potential upward momentum. If the market is in a bullish trend (e.g., after a series of green candles), and you see increasing buy volume, this might indicate that buyers are in control , making it a potential signal to buy .
- High Sell Volume : On the other hand, a significant amount of selling volume, particularly after a series of bullish candles, can signal that sellers are taking control of the market, which could indicate bearish pressure . If you observe increasing sell volume, it might be a potential signal to sell or to short the asset.
2. Volume Confirmation :
- Volume is often used to confirm price movements . For example, if the price breaks above a resistance level with strong buy volume , it suggests that the breakout is likely genuine and not a false move. Similarly, if the price drops below a support level with strong sell volume , it could signal that the breakout is real and the downtrend is continuing.
3. Divergence Analysis :
- Volume divergence occurs when price makes a new high or low but volume doesn't confirm it. For instance:
- If price makes a new high but the buy volume does not increase (or even decreases), it could signal a weak trend or potential reversal.
- Similarly, if price makes a new low but sell volume is weak, it might suggest the downtrend is losing steam and could reverse.
4. Buy/Sell Signal Strategy :
- Buy Signal : A potential buy signal might occur when you see a bullish candle with increased buy volume (especially if the buy volume is higher than the sell volume) during an uptrend or near a support level.
- Sell Signal : A potential sell signal might occur when you see a bearish candle with increased sell volume (especially if the sell volume is higher than the buy volume) during a downtrend or near a resistance level.
You could also combine this with other technical indicators (like Moving Averages, RSI, etc.) to form a more robust trading strategy.
---
Example of How It Works in Practice :
- Scenario 1 (Bullish) :
- You're trading a stock or cryptocurrency, and you have the Holding Volume Strength indicator plotted.
- Over the past 10 candles, you notice a bullish trend where the price is rising.
- On the current candle, you see a strong buy volume value, indicating that buyers are in control .
- Given that the buy volume is higher than the sell volume , this might reinforce the bullish trend , and you could consider buying or entering a long position .
- Scenario 2 (Bearish) :
- You're analyzing the same asset, but this time, the price is in a downtrend .
- You notice that a recent bearish candle has a strong sell volume , suggesting sellers are dominating .
- If this sell volume is higher than the buy volume, it could indicate that the downtrend is likely to continue , and you might consider selling or entering a short position .
---
Why Volume Matters :
- Volume precedes price : Volume is often considered a leading indicator, as changes in volume can signal future price movements . For example, a sudden increase in buy volume often precedes upward price movement, while a sudden increase in sell volume often precedes downward price movement.
- Volume confirms trends : Volume helps confirm trends. A price move accompanied by high volume is typically more reliable , while a price move with low volume might be a false signal or less likely to sustain itself.
---
Conclusion :
The Holding Volume Strength indicator helps traders understand the market sentiment (buyers vs. sellers) by showing the cumulative buying and selling volume over a specified period. By examining the buy and sell volumes, traders can make more informed decisions about when to buy, sell, or hold based on market strength.
This volume analysis is essential because it allows traders to understand how strong the price movement is and whether it is likely to continue or reverse. By incorporating volume analysis with other indicators or chart patterns, traders can improve the accuracy of their trading signals and reduce risk.

Volume IQOverview
Volume IQ is meant to be the ‘intelligent volume distribution analyzer’ that takes much of the work of interpreting volume profiles off of your shoulders. It attempts to ‘do the technical analysis’ of volume data for you, with its capstone feature being "Trading Action Zones": ranges on the chart whose placement are determined by high and low volume nodes and sentiment analysis, and their adapting range affected by current volatility. These zones are meant to offer practical levels for potential entries, exits, targets, and stops while trading. These zones are the cherry on top of other useful and original features like visuals for grouping areas of similar buy/sell bias.
Originality and Usefulness
Volume IQ stands out for its originality by offering a data-driven approach to interpreting volume profiles and presenting its analysis on the chart. Unlike traditional volume profiles, Volume IQ automates much of the volume analysis process, helping traders identify potential opportunities and key trading areas with minimal effort. Its unique "Trading Action Zones" leverage high and low volume nodes, sentiment analysis, and current volatility to highlight practical levels for entries, exits, targets, and stops. Additionally, the tool provides grouped bias visuals, gradient coloring, and flexible customization options, allowing traders to gain a clearer understanding of market sentiment and structure. By simplifying complex volume data into actionable insights, Volume IQ provides a valuable and efficient resource for charting on TradingView.
The ‘Capstone’ Feature:
Trading ‘Action Zones’: Potential areas to take trading action based on built-in interpretations of high-volume nodes, low-volume nodes, and overarching chart sentiment (whose calculation is described below), and their interplay. Categorized by tiers - with Tier 2 zones intended as potential entry areas, and Tier 1 zones for exits or adds. These zones can also present logical areas to consider targets and stops, for example placing a stop loss in a Tier 1 sell zone below price where there is a series of low-volume nodes and potentially not much support. These zones help you quickly identify potential areas on the chart to ‘take action’.
Key Features:
Level and Block Biases: By estimating buying and selling volume, as well as leveraging intrabar data, the Volume IQ profile provides detailed buy/sell sentiment at individual price levels. It then groups together consecutive price levels with the same bias into what we call ‘Block Biases’ making it easy to determine larger price areas with distinct buying or selling pressure.
Chart Sentiment Analysis: A ‘continuously optimizing algorithm’ configured to find high average runups after a sentiment switch powers what we call ‘bias guidelines’ which border the Volume IQ profile and influence the determination of Action Zones. This algorithm is based on comparing many combinations of volume-weighted trends, largely based on smoothed volume weighted moving averages, on each bar, to ensure that the approach with the highest average runup amongst the combinations is used.
Zones of Control: A gradient-coloring approach to the profile highlighst areas of influence at a glance, making it easier to focus on key price levels.
Broad Compatibility: Works across all chart timeframes and market types - so long as volume data and OHLC candle data is available.
Highly Customizable: Configure features to align with your trading preferences and workflow. Show them all, or pick and choose the ones you want.
Settings
Use a Color Theme: Toggle between our predefined color themes or customize your own.
Style: Select your preferred color theme (e.g., "TI Fusion").
Colors (When Not Using a Theme): Customize primary, secondary, and background colors for your own non-theme styling.
Gradient Coloring: Enable or disable gradient shading of the profile for visual enhancement of zones with high control and low control.
Action Zones: Turn trading action zones on or off to highlight key trading levels.
Time Staggering: Enabling this option will simply ‘stagger’ the display of action zones horizontally. Zones closer to price will be placed leftwards, and as they become more distant from price, they will be ‘staggered out’ rightwards, to give an intuitive feel for the time it may take for price to reach these zones.
Tier Labels: Enable or disable the ‘tier labels’ (1 square for Tier 1, 2 squares for Tier 2) for action zones.
Bias Blocks: Toggle the display of grouped buy/sell bias blocks.
Extend: Choose how the bias blocks are displayed: “Left” to stretch them from the end to the beginning of the histogram, “Right” to extend from the end outwards, and “Across” to extend from the beginning to outwards past the end, enveloping the bias and volume count labels.
Opacity: Adjust the transparency level of bias blocks (0–100).
Level Bias Labels: Turn on/off labels for individual price level biases.
Bias Guidelines: Enable the visual guidelines for bias levels which border the profile.
Volume Counts: Toggle volume count labels for each of the profile’s price levels.
Split Buy/Sell Volume: Enable separate display of buy and sell volume for each level (buy volume on the left, sell volume on the right).
Font Size: Adjust the font size for these labels.
Histogram Display: Choose the display option for the histogram bars of the profile themselves: "Full View" will display the profile, and “None” will hide it.
BG Shading Logic: Adjust the background shading logic for the display: “Neutral” will use the ‘Neutral Color’ from your color theme to put some emphasis around high and low volume nodes, while “None” will remove any background shading.
Detail: This option allows you to set the granularity of the volume data used: “Bar Data” will simply use the bar data from the chart timeframe, while “Intrabar Data” will attempt to use bar data from a lower timeframe. Please note that using intrabar data may not be available with your TradingView subscription on some timeframes, and also that using intrabar data may increase calculation time.
Data Request: Choose the lookback for the volume distribution: "Long-term" will look back 500 bars, and “Short-Term” will halve this.
# of Levels: Specify the number of levels/rows to display for visualizing the distribution.

IQ Zones [TradingIQ]Hey Traders!
Introducing "IQ Zones".
"IQ Zones" is an indicator that combines support and resistance identification with volume, the "value area" of a candlestick to be exact. IQ Zones identifies turning points in the market; however, the candlestick high or low that formed the key turning point is not necessarily distinguished as the support/resistance area. Instead, the script looks into the bar at lower timeframes and calculates the value area of the candlestick that formed the support or resistance level. Therefore, any lines protruding from a candlestick reflect the value area of that candlestick. These levels (value area high and value area low) are marked on the candlestick as a support/resistance level. If the level formed on high volume it's marked as an "IQ Zone".
Additionally, IQ Zones presents a heat map to show volume intensity at nearby price areas. The heatmap is a product of the Volume Profile (IQ Profile) located on the right of the chart.
The IQ Profile is a segmented volume profile. Recent price is split into fifths (customizable), and individual volume profiles are calculated for all segmented price areas. Price is split into more than one segment to avoid a situation where volume in a ranging price zone far surpasses all other recent price areas - creating an "unusable" volume profile that doesn't offer helpful insights. If desired, you can set the segmenting option to "1" to calculate one unified volume profile for the entire price range.
The image above shows IQ Zones in action!
Core Features of IQ Zones
Value Area Support and Resistance Levels
Segmented volume profile for the recent trading period
Volume intensity heatmap
Support and resistance levels in high volume intensity may be more significant as price stoppers
The image above explains the labels marked along the y-axis of the IQ Profile.
The "more green" a price area/label is, the higher the volume intensity at the marked support/resistance area.
The image above further explains line lines protruding from the IQ Profile.
For this example, the value area of the candlestick (where most trading action occurred) is quite far from the high price of the candlestick that formed a resistance level! Using the value area of a candlestick that marks a key turning point to draw support/resistance offers insight into where the majority of trading action took place when the support/resistance level was forming!
Additionally, you can hover your mouse over the IQ Zone labels (triangles pointing up or down) to see the prices of the value area for the support/resistance level, including the total buying volume and total selling volume at the price area!
The image above further explains the IQ Profile!
You can segment the recent price area anywhere from 1 - 15 times.
The image above further explains IQ Zones and the IQ Profile!
That will be all for this indicator - a fun project to share with the community.
Thank you!
Low Volume Supply and Demand by (MS Traders)"Low Volume Supply and Demand" is a custom TradingView indicator designed to help traders identify potential supply and demand zones based on low-volume candle patterns. This indicator highlights bullish and bearish candles with lower volume compared to the previous two candles, making them significant in identifying possible market reversals or continuation points.
Bullish (Demand): The indicator highlights bullish candles with lower volume than the previous two candles, suggesting a potential demand zone.
Bearish (Supply): The indicator highlights bearish candles with lower volume than the previous two candles, indicating a possible supply zone.
