Volume Profile Bar-Magnified Order Blocks [MyTradingCoder]Introducing "Volume Profile Bar-Magnified Order Blocks", an innovative and unique trading indicator designed to provide traders with a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics. This tool takes the concept of identifying order blocks on your chart and elevates it by integrating a detailed volume profile within each order block zone.
Unlike standard order block indicators, Volume Profile Bar-Magnified Order Blocks pulls data from lower timeframe bars and assigns it to various segments of the order block. By providing this volume profile inside the order block, the indicator supplies a deeper, multi-dimensional view of market activity that can enhance your trading decisions.
Crucially, users have the ability to fine-tune the detection of order blocks. This is made possible through a single input setting called "Tuning". This integer value allows you to control the significance and frequency of the order blocks. Higher numbers will produce more significant order blocks, though they will appear less frequently. Lower numbers, on the other hand, will yield less significant order blocks, but they will occur more often. This enables you to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator according to your specific trading strategy and style.
Key Settings:
Number of Segments: Customize the level of detail in your volume profile by selecting the number of segments you want inside each order block.
Tuning: Adjust the sensitivity of order block detection to align with your trading strategy. Higher values produce more significant but less frequent order blocks, while lower values yield less significant but more frequent order blocks.
Color Inputs: Personalize the look of your chart by selecting the colors for various elements of the indicator. This ensures a seamless integration with your current chart aesthetics and improves visual clarity.
Here is a s creenshot that beautifully demonstrates the power of this indicator. You'll see how the price rejects perfectly off the highest volume segment in an order block, showcasing the indicator's potential for pinpointing high-impact price levels.
While Volume Profile Bar-Magnified Order Blocks offers many unique features, it should be used in conjunction with other indicators and forms of analysis for a complete trading strategy. As with all tools, it does not guarantee profitable trades but is intended to give traders more information to base their decisions on. Use it to complement your existing analysis and enhance your understanding of market behavior.
Experience a new level of clarity in your trading with Volume Profile Bar-Magnified Order Blocks - an indicator that goes beyond the surface to help you navigate the markets more effectively.

Volume Profile Channel + [CE]Volume Profile Channel +
Volume Profile Channel +, Is the first of its kind tool that will plot a volume profile in any directional channel, the tool will calculate a profile and display the following, POC/VAH/VAL.
The typical profile works by on a horizontal access such that ticksize can be calculated along the y axis and data can then be used to generate a profile, the angle of a parallel channel would make this unavailable.
By cleverly using the angle at which the profile is created, a diagonal ticksize is generated and applied to the profile to create a first of its kind parallel channel volume profile tool!
Features include the ability to "anti-alias" the profile as well below will show a comparison of this occurring:
Unsmoothed
Smoothed
Additionally this mode comes with the ability to track the development of the POC AND VAH/VAL overtime:
The advantage of using this is that as opposed to relying datasets of mid points or custom equal values along a parallel channel, users can now use the profile to see where the channel has the most interaction, (POC).
This allows for an objective look into the data as opposed to identifying by "eye" where traders are exchanging hands or vs using values such as the midpoint which may not necessarily always be a point of interest as the POC will be.
The VAH/VAL levels give good opportunity to see reactions at levels we may not previously be able to see in the channel with fixed values, allowing us to take positions in a more dynamic sense.
As you can see in the chart below with the track enabled, you can see clear reaction points when price interacted with these dynamic levels, which may not be identifiable with fixed positions, 0.25,0.5,0.75 etc...

Volume Profile AnalysisThe Volume Profile Dashboard is a professional-grade analysis tool built for TradingView. It focuses on displaying a comprehensive volume profile breakdown within a dashboard format directly on the chart. The purpose of this tool is to help traders quickly assess buy versus sell volume dynamics, momentum, and sentiment in order to support informed trading decisions.
Instead of plotting simple bars, this indicator uses a detailed table and visual progress bar to summarize live and historical market activity. By condensing key metrics into a structured format, traders can analyse market behaviour without manually calculating or switching between multiple indicators.
________________________________________
How the Script Works
1. Data Gathering
The script uses lower-timeframe price and volume data to calculate buy volume, sell volume, and total traded volume for the current and previous candles.
2. Volume Allocation
Buy and sell volumes are estimated by looking at the candle’s range (high to low) and how the closing price aligns within that range. The closer the close is to the high, the stronger the buying pressure. The closer the close is to the low, the stronger the selling pressure.
3. Delta and Momentum
o Delta measures the difference between buy and sell volume.
o Volume momentum compares the current candle’s activity to the previous one, showing if interest is rising or fading.
4. Point of Control (POC)
An average of high, low, and close is calculated to give an approximate “point of control” level—an area of balance where buyers and sellers previously agreed on price.
5. Dashboard Visualization
All these calculations are displayed inside a clean dashboard table with separate rows for the current candle, previous candle, and a summary row. Icons, colors, and progress bars make it visually intuitive.
6. On-Chart Progress Indicator
A dynamic horizontal progress bar is plotted on the chart above price, showing the balance between buy and sell volume for the latest activity.
7. Alerts
Built-in alerts trigger when strong buying or selling pressure is detected or when there is a significant spike in total traded volume.
________________________________________
How This Tool Can Be Used
• Intraday Trading: Quickly gauge whether buyers or sellers are in control of the market at any moment.
• Swing Trading: Compare momentum shifts between candles to identify early trend reversals.
• Risk Management: Use delta and sentiment signals to confirm whether to hold or reduce exposure.
• Confirmation: Align the volume profile dashboard with other indicators (such as RSI, MACD, or trendlines) for stronger trading conviction.
________________________________________
Using Mixed Indicators for Decisions
This dashboard alone provides volume insights, but better decisions come when it is combined with other tools:
• Pairing it with an RSI can show whether heavy buying is happening in overbought conditions.
• Combining with a SuperTrend or moving averages can confirm if volume momentum aligns with the price trend.
• Overlaying support/resistance levels can identify whether strong buy/sell signals occur at critical levels.
Mixed indicators prevent relying on one signal alone, reducing false trades.
________________________________________

Volume Profile Heatmap 2.0The "Enhanced Volume Profile Heatmap" is a powerful Pine Script indicator designed for advanced volume analysis on TradingView charts. It creates a dynamic heatmap of volume distribution across a defined price range, enabling traders to pinpoint significant trading levels and understand price action more deeply.
Key Features:
Configurable Parameters:
Number of Bins (numBins): Defines the resolution of the heatmap by dividing the price range into multiple levels. More bins provide higher granularity.
Lookback Period (lookback): Sets the historical period over which the volume profile is calculated.
Price Range Calculation:
Calculates the highest and lowest prices over the lookback period, defining the boundaries for volume distribution.
Volume Allocation Across Price Levels:
The price range is divided into "bins" where each bin represents a specific price level.
For each price within the lookback period, the corresponding volume is allocated to its bin, building a comprehensive distribution of volume per price level.
Volume Normalization and Heatmap Visualization:
Volume for each bin is normalized based on the highest volume bin, creating a gradient effect to visually represent high and low-volume areas.
A heatmap color scheme is applied, where low volume appears redder and high volume appears greener, emphasizing critical price levels.
Visual Representation:
Each bin’s volume is depicted as a horizontal line with varying color intensity, creating a heatmap effect directly over the price chart.
Purpose:
The Enhanced Volume Profile Heatmap is ideal for traders looking to identify high-activity trading zones, which often act as strong support or resistance. By visualizing where trading activity concentrates, users can gain insights into potential areas of interest, allowing for more informed entry and exit decisions.
This indicator is a unique tool for volume-based analysis, helping traders understand underlying market sentiment and positioning across different price levels in a clear, intuitive way.
Volume Profile Heatmap [UAlgo]The "Volume Profile Heatmap " indicator is a tool designed to visualize the distribution of trading volume across different price levels over a specified period. This heatmap-style indicator helps traders identify significant price levels where a high volume of trading activity has occurred, which can be crucial for making informed trading decisions. The indicator divides the price range into multiple levels and calculates the volume of trades occurring at each level, presenting this data in a visually intuitive manner using a gradient of colors.
By analyzing the volume profile, traders can gain insights into areas of support and resistance, as well as the Point of Control (POC)—the price level with the highest traded volume. This information is valuable in assessing market sentiment, potential reversal points, and key areas of interest where price action might consolidate or react.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Analysis Period: The indicator allows users to specify the analysis period, defining the historical range over which the volume profile is calculated.
Adjustable Number of Levels: Users can set the number of price levels to divide the price range, offering flexibility in the granularity of the volume analysis.
Color-Coded Heatmap: The indicator uses a gradient color scheme to visually represent volume intensity at each price level. Higher volume areas are shaded differently than lower volume areas, making it easy to spot significant price levels.
Opacity Control: Users can adjust the opacity of the volume boxes, enabling a clearer or more subtle visualization according to their preferences.
Point of Control (POC) Display: The indicator highlights the Point of Control, the price level with the highest traded volume, with a distinct line on the chart, allowing traders to easily identify this critical level.

Volume Profile Movable RangeA movable range volume profile indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool that offers traders the flexibility to customize the start date from which the indicator's calculation begins. This feature is particularly valuable for investors who wish to focus on specific time periods and gain a more detailed understanding of price and volume movements within those intervals.
The primary advantage of this indicator lies in its intuitive movable bar, which allows users to easily adjust the start date on the chart. By dragging this bar forward or backward along the time axis, the volume profile calculation is automatically updated to reflect the newly selected date range. This provides traders with a unique ability to adapt to changing market conditions and adjust their analysis in real-time.
By customizing the start date, investors can explore patterns, trends, and support/resistance levels within specific timeframes more accurately and timely. Furthermore, this indicator offers a detailed interpretation of trading volume, aiding traders in assessing the strength or weakness of trends, identifying potential entry and exit points, and making informed decisions in their trading strategies.
In summary, a movable range volume profile indicator is an essential tool for traders seeking more adaptable and precise technical analysis. The ability to easily select and adjust the start date through a movable bar on the chart provides a significant advantage when making data-driven, personalized decisions in financial markets.
Volume Profile and Volume Indicator by DGTVolume Profile (also known as Price by Volume) is an charting study that displays trading activity over a specified time period at specific price levels. It is plotted as a horizontal histogram on the finacial isntrumnet's chart that highlights the trader's interest at specific price levels.
The histogram is used by traders to predict areas of support and resistance. Price levels where the traded volume is high could be assumed as support and resistance levels.
Price may experience difficulty moving above or below areas with large bars. Usually there is a great deal of activity on both the buy and sell side and the market stays at that price level for a great deal of time
It is advised to use volume profile in conjunction with other forms of technical analysis to maximize the odds of success
Light version of Volume Profile is added to Price Action - Support & Resistance by DGT
Volume Profile HeatmapA variation of a Volume Profile based on code originally by LuxAlgo. () The traditional bar chart is replaced with full-width bars that are brighter for high volume price levels.
Like a traditional VP, its purpose is to visualize how volume corresponds to specific price levels, allowing you to get a quick idea of where the most activity is occurring, and where it hasn't been. This information may provide clues as to where price action may return, areas of support and resistance , and regions where price may move quickly. The basic concepts behind any Volume Profile (or Price by Volume Chart) should apply here as well. (investopedia article)
Inputs are set up such that you can customize the lookback period, number of rows, and width of rows for most major timeframes individually. Timeframes between those available will use the next lower timeframe settings (e.g., 2m chart will use the 1m settings.)
This indicator is experimental and is likely to receive further updates.
Volume Profile cheap copyIn the absence of TradingView's open-source Volume Profile (hereinafter referred to as VP) indicator code, I have replicated it. However, because this code is classified as an "indicator" rather than a "tool," it cannot allow users to define the range according to their preferences. In the code, I have set different periods, and users can input 0, 1, or 2 to let the indicator calculate the volume distribution from the earliest candle to the latest candle within the daily, weekly, or monthly range, respectively.
How can we prove that this code is consistent with TradingView's algorithm?
Firstly, the calculation or drawing process of VP starts from the earliest candle in the selected range. After calling TradingView's built-in "Fixed Range Volume Profile" (FRVP) tool, you can enter the settings interface of the tool and check both "developing POC" and "Value Area (VA)." The paths of POC, VAH, and VAL will appear in the chart. These paths are the changes in the values of POC, VAH, and VAL as the number of candles increases. If the paths shown by my indicator are the same as those shown by TradingView's VP indicator, then it proves the algorithms are consistent. Since VP itself is calculated based on volume, the high and low points of candles, and the opening and closing prices, if the data sources are consistent, the calculation results (the paths of POC, VAH, and VAL) will remain consistent over time. This can be used to infer that the algorithms are consistent. Additionally, the parameters of the two indicators (number of rows and value area ratio) must be the same to verify consistency. The number of rows in the indicator is usually set to 100 by default, and the value area ratio is 70. Therefore, the parameters in FRVP should also be set to 100 rows and a value area volume of 70.
Why is there a noticeable discrepancy?
When the start and end points of the VP remain unchanged, reducing the chart's time frame can improve accuracy. For example, when calculating the weekly VP, switching from a 1-hour time frame to a 5-minute time frame can make the indicator more closely match TradingView's native VP. Tests have shown that TradingView's native VP may not use the data displayed on the current chart for its calculations. For instance, the VP may use data from the 5-minute time frame even if the chart is displayed in the 1-hour time frame. However, my replicated VP calculates based on the chart's data, so differences in time frames will affect accuracy.
Current algorithm deficiencies
This replicated VP code is merely a demo and does not handle data updates. In other words, after the latest candle closes, the VP needs to be recalculated, but this recalculation step is not handled, which will cause errors. To resolve this issue, you only need to switch the time frame or delete the indicator and re-add it.
Volume Profile / Fixed RangeHello All,
This script calculates and shows Volume Profile for the fixed range . Recently we have box.new() feature in Pine Language and it's used in this script as an example. Thanks to Pine Team and Tradingview!..
Sell/Buy volumes are calculated approximately!.
Options:
"Number of Bars" : Number of the bars that volume profile will be calculated/shown
"Row Size" : Number of the Rows
"Value Area Volume % " : the percent for Value Area
and there are other options for coloring and POC line style
Enjoy!
Volume Profile Array's [fikira]Inspired by © IldarAkhmetgaleev (AkhIL) - "Poor man's volume profile" - "PMVolProf"
He did a fantastic job on "Volume Profile"!
My script is about making this with array's
Settings:
- period (last x bars) for calculation
- max width (visible horizontal range)
- amount of sections (vertical sections; to many sections can give an error -> lower the sections in that case)
Setting "high/low", "close":
- "high/low"
-> the volume of every bar (in the period) which low is lower than a particular section and which high is higher than that section is added to that section
- "close"
-> here the volume of every bar (in the period) which close closes in the range of a particular section is added to that section
The orange/blue coloured "Volume lines" are the highest/lowest values above and below present close
(can be used as Support/resistance )
"Only show max/min" shows only the orange/blue Volume lines
The period and highest/lowest is show by 2 thin blue lines
Color, line width is adjustable
Cheers!
Volume Profile per day with support/resistance linesThis indicator shows the volume profile by daily blocks and draws on the chart the support or resistance lines produced by the previous volume profile block. A support line will be created if in the previous block, the VPOC line was closer to the lowest price line of that block. This support line will be placed below the VPOC line, at a distance equal to the difference between the highest price of that block and the VPOC price. For the case of the resistance line, the logic applied is analogous.
These support and resistance lines are introduced because, according to the Gaussian bell, the VPOC is likely to be located in the middle, and these deviations can be used to trace support and resistance.
In addition, the indicator includes the following features:
- Change the colors of all plotted lines.
- Define the number of daily blocks to be displayed.
- Define the resolution when calculating the volume of each candle.
- Define the number of support/resistance lines to be displayed.
- Highest and lowest price lines, as well as vpoc line, volume histogram and support and resistance lines.
- Display or not, the vpoc line and the volume histogram.
The calculations performed by the script improve if the candles used are of a lower timeframe. This indicator has been tested in several markets, including cryptos, CFDs, Forex and Indices.
Volume ProfileThis is a Volume Profile based on pine script arrays.
The main idea behind this script is from the user @IldarAkhmetgaleev .
He created an awesome piece of code for free users on tradingview.
Here are some changes to the main script:
0. Used Pine Script Arrays for doing/storing calculations.
1. The bar labels are replaced with lines.
2. Added a POC line.
3. Bar growing directions changed from right to left.
4. Added an option to change bar width.
Inputs:
0. Volume Lookback Depth : Number of bars to look back for volume calculations.
1. Bar Length Multiplier : Bar length multiplier to make bar long or short.
2. Bar Horizontal Offset : Horizontal distance from the current bar in the right direction.
3. Bar Width : Width of the bars.
4. Show POC Line : Show or hide the POC line.
Happy trading.
Volume Profile Fixed Range Support and Resistance LevelsThis script is based on the excellent Volume Profile / Fixed Range indicator by @LonesomeTheBlue, so all credit for the foundations of this indicator goes to @LonesomeTheBlue
I basically made 5 instances of the original script and added horizontal lines at the beginning and end of the each Value Area. To use the script as a support and resistance tool without the Value Areas and Point of Control (POC) labels you just need to untick "Boxes" and "Labels" in the "Style" section of the “Settings”.
The default look-back periods (in bars) are 7, 30, 60, 180 and 365, but you can change this or the colour of the lines easily in the “Settings”.
The dashed lines are the respective POC.
I find this tool to be very useful for quickly identifying interest levels on any chart while also ensuring a certain amount of objectivity in your TA.
Hope you find it useful and thanks again to @LonesomeTheBlue for going through the trouble of coding this and being so generous to share it with the rest of us!
Good luck out there!
Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)Dual Volume Profiles: Session + Rolling (Range Delineation)
INTRO
This is a probability-centric take on volume profile. I treat the volume histogram as an empirical PDF over price, updated in real time, which makes multi-modality (multiple acceptance basins) explicit rather than assumed away. The immediate benefit is operational: if we can read the shape of the distribution, we can infer likely reversion levels (POC), acceptance boundaries (VAH/VAL), and low-friction corridors (LVNs).
My working hypothesis is that what traders often label “fat tails” or “power-law behavior” at short horizons is frequently a tail-conditioned view of a higher-level Gaussian regime. In other words, child distributions (shorter periodicities) sit within parent distributions (longer periodicities); when price operates in the parent’s tail, the child regime looks heavy-tailed without being fundamentally non-Gaussian. This is consistent with a hierarchical/mixture view and with the spirit of the central limit theorem—Gaussian structure emerges at aggregate scales, while local scales can look non-Gaussian due to nesting and conditioning.
This indicator operationalizes that view by plotting two nested empirical PDFs: a rolling (local) profile and a session-anchored profile. Their confluence makes ranges explicit and turns “regime” into something you can see. For additional nesting, run multiple instances with different lookbacks. When using the default settings combined with a separate daily VP, you effectively get three nested distributions (local → session → daily) on the chart.
This indicator plots two nested distributions side-by-side:
Rolling (Local) Profile — short-window, prorated histogram that “breathes” with price and maps the immediate auction.
Session Anchored Profile — cumulative distribution since the current session start (Premkt → RTH → AH anchoring), revealing the parent regime.
Use their confluence to identify range floors/ceilings, mean-reversion magnets, and low-volume “air pockets” for fast traverses.
What it shows
POC (dashed): central tendency / “magnet” (highest-volume bin).
VAH & VAL (solid): acceptance boundaries enclosing an exact Value Area % around each profile’s POC.
Volume histograms:
Rolling can auto-color by buy/sell dominance over the lookback (green = buying ≥ selling, red = selling > buying).
Session uses a fixed style (blue by default).
Session anchoring (exchange timezone):
Premarket → anchors at 00:00 (midnight).
RTH → anchors at 09:30.
After-hours → anchors at 16:00.
Session display span:
Session Max Span (bars) = 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
> 0 → draw a rolling window N bars back → now, while still measuring all volume since session start.
Why it’s useful
Think in terms of nested probability distributions: the rolling node is your local Gaussian; the session node is its parent.
VA↔VA overlap ≈ strong range boundary.
POC↔POC alignment ≈ reliable mean-reversion target.
LVNs (gaps) ≈ low-friction corridors—expect quick moves to the next node.
Quick start
Add to chart (great on 5–10s, 15–60s, 1–5m).
Start with: bins = 240, vaPct = 0.68, barsBack = 60.
Watch for:
First test & rejection at overlapping VALs/VAHs → fade back toward POC.
Acceptance beyond VA (several closes + growing outer-bin mass) → traverse to the next node.
Inputs (detailed)
General
Lookback Bars (Rolling)
Count of most-recent bars for the rolling/local histogram. Larger = smoother node that shifts slower; smaller = more reactive, “breathing” profile.
• Typical: 40–80 on 5–10s charts; 60–120 on 1–5m.
• If you increase this but keep Number of Bins fixed, each bin aggregates more volume (coarser bins).
Number of Bins
Vertical resolution (price buckets) for both rolling and session histograms. Higher = finer detail and crisper LVNs, but more line objects (closer to platform limits).
• Typical: 120–240 on 5–10s; 80–160 on 1–5m.
• If you hit performance or object limits, reduce this first.
Value Area %
Exact central coverage for VAH/VAL around POC. Computed empirically from the histogram (no Gaussian assumption): the algorithm expands from POC outward until the chosen % is enclosed.
• Common: 0.68 (≈“1σ-like”), 0.70 for slightly wider core.
• Smaller = tighter VA (more breakout flags). Larger = wider VA (more reversion bias).
Max Local Profile Width (px)
Horizontal length (in pixels) of the rolling bars/lines and its VA/POC overlays. Visual only (does not affect calculations).
Session Settings
RTH Start/End (exchange tz)
Defines the current session anchor (Premkt=00:00, RTH=your start, AH=your end). The session histogram always measures from the most recent session start and resets at each boundary.
Session Max Span (bars, 0 = full session)
Display window for session drawings (POC/VA/Histogram).
• 0 → draw from session start → now (anchored).
• > 0 → draw N bars back → now (rolling look), while still measuring all volume since session start.
This keeps the “parent” distribution measurable while letting the display track current action.
Local (Rolling) — Visibility
Show Local Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Toggle each overlay independently. If you approach object limits, disable bars first (POC/VA lines are lighter).
Local (Rolling) — Colors & Widths
Color by Buy/Sell Dominance
Fast uptick/downtick proxy over the rolling window (close vs open):
• Buying ≥ Selling → Bullish Color (default lime).
• Selling > Buying → Bearish Color (default red).
This color drives local bars, local POC, and local VA lines.
• Disable to use fixed Bars Color / POC Color / VA Lines Color.
Bars Transparency (0–100) — alpha for the local histogram (higher = lighter).
Bars Line Width (thickness) — draw thin-line profiles or chunky blocks.
POC Line Width / VA Lines Width — overlay thickness. POC is dashed, VAH/VAL solid by design.
Session — Visibility
Show Session Profile Bars / POC / VAH & VAL
Independent toggles for the session layer.
Session — Colors & Widths
Bars/POC/VA Colors & Line Widths
Fixed palette by design (default blue). These do not change with buy/sell dominance.
• Use transparency and width to make the parent profile prominent or subtle.
• Prefer minimal? Hide session bars; keep only session VA/POC.
Reading the signals (detailed playbook)
Core definitions
POC — highest-volume bin (fair price “magnet”).
VAH/VAL — upper/lower bounds enclosing your Value Area % around POC.
Node — contiguous block of high-volume bins (acceptance).
LVN — low-volume gap between nodes (low friction path).
Rejection vs Acceptance (practical rule)
Rejection at VA edge: 0–1 closes beyond VA and no persistent growth in outer bins.
Acceptance beyond VA: ≥3 closes beyond VA and outer-bin mass grows (e.g., added volume beyond the VA edge ≥ 5–10% of node volume over the last N bars). Treat acceptance as regime change.
Confluence scores (make boundary/target quality objective)
VA overlap strength (range boundary):
C_VA = 1 − |VA_edge_local − VA_edge_session| / ATR(n)
Values near 1.0 = tight overlap (stronger boundary).
Use: if C_VA ≥ 0.6–0.8, treat as high-quality fade zone.
POC alignment (magnet quality):
C_POC = 1 − |POC_local − POC_session| / ATR(n)
Higher C_POC = greater chance a rotation completes to that fair price.
(You can estimate these by eye.)
Setups
1) Range Fade at VA Confluence (mean reversion)
Context: Local VAL/VAH near Session VAL/VAH (tight overlap), clear node, local color not screaming trend (or flips to your side).
Entry: First test & rejection at the overlapped band (wick through ok; prefer close back inside).
Stop: A tick/pip beyond the wider of the two VA edges or beyond the nearest LVN, a small buffer zone can be used to judge whether price is truly rejecting a VAL/VAH or simply probing.
Targets: T1 node mid; T2 POC (size up when C_POC is high).
Flip: If acceptance (rule above) prints, flip bias or stand down.
2) LVN Traverse (continuation)
Context: Price exits VA and enters an LVN with acceptance and growing outer-bin volume.
Entry: Aggressive—first close into LVN; Conservative—retest of the VA edge from the far side (“kiss goodbye”).
Stop: Back inside the prior VA.
Targets: Next node’s VA edge or POC (edge = faster exits; POC = fuller rotations).
Note: Flatter VA edge (shallower curvature) tends to breach more easily.
3) POC→POC Magnet Trade (rotation completion)
Context: Local POC ≈ Session POC (high C_POC).
Entry: Fade a VA touch or pullback inside node, aiming toward the shared POC.
Stop: Past the opposite VA edge or LVN beyond.
Target: The shared POC; optional runner to opposite VA if the node is broad and time-of-day is supportive.
4) Failed Break (Reversion Snap-back)
Context: Push beyond VA fails acceptance (re-enters VA, outer-bin growth stalls/shrinks).
Entry: On the re-entry close, back toward POC.
Stop/Target: Stop just beyond the failed VA; target POC, then opposite VA if momentum persists.
How to read color & shape
Local color = most recent sentiment:
Green = buying ≥ selling; Red = selling > buying (over the rolling window). Treat as context, not a standalone signal. A green local node under a blue session VAH can still be a fade if the parent says “over-valued.”
Shape tells friction:
Fat nodes → rotation-friendly (fade edges).
Sharp LVN gaps → traversal-friendly (momentum continuation).
Time-of-day intuition
Right after session anchor (e.g., RTH 09:30): Session profile is young and moves quickly—treat confluence cautiously.
Mid-session: Cleanest behavior for rotations.
Close / news: Expect more traverses and POC migrations; tighten risk or switch playbooks.
Risk & execution guidance
Use tight, mechanical stops at/just beyond VA or LVN. If you need wide stops to survive noise, your entry is late or the node is unstable.
On micro-timeframes, account for fees & slippage—aim for targets paying ≥2–3× average cost.
If acceptance prints, don’t fight it—flip, reduce size, or stand aside.
Suggested presets
Scalp (5–10s): bins 120–240, barsBack 40–80, vaPct 0.68–0.70, local bars thin (small bar width).
Intraday (1–5m): bins 80–160, barsBack 60–120, vaPct 0.68–0.75, session bars more visible for parent context.
Performance & limits
Reuses line objects to stay under TradingView’s max_lines_count.
Very large bins × multiple overlays can still hit limits—use visibility toggles (hide bars first).
Session drawings use time-based coordinates to avoid “bar index too far” errors.
Known nuances
Rolling buy/sell dominance uses a simple uptick/downtick proxy (close vs open). It’s fast and practical, but it’s not a full tape classifier.
VA boundaries are computed from the empirical histogram—no Gaussian assumption.
This script does not calculate the full daily volume profile. Several other tools already provide that, including TradingView’s built-in Volume Profile indicators. Instead, this indicator focuses on pairing a rolling, short-term volume distribution with a session-wide distribution to make ranges more explicit. It is designed to supplement your use of standard or periodic volume profiles, not replace them. Think of it as a magnifying lens that helps you see where local structure aligns with the broader session.
How to trade it (TL;DR)
Fade overlapping VA bands on first rejection → target POC.
Continue through LVN on acceptance beyond VA → target next node’s VA/POC.
Respect acceptance: ≥3 closes beyond VA + growing outer-bin volume = regime change.
FAQ
Q: Why 68% Value Area?
A: It mirrors the “~1σ” idea, but we compute it exactly from empirical volume, not by assuming a normal distribution.
Q: Why are my profiles thin lines?
A: Increase Bars Line Width for chunkier blocks; reduce for fine, thin-line profiles.
Q: Session bars don’t reach session start—why?
A: Set Session Max Span (bars) = 0 for full anchoring; any positive value draws a rolling window while still measuring from session start.

Swing Volume Profiles [LuxAlgo]The Swing Volume Profiles indicator aims to calculate and highlight trading activity at specific price levels between two swing points; allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels based on volume.
By measuring traded volume at all price levels in the market over a specified time period, the script can also be used to detect some key analysis generally such as supply & demand, buy-side & sell-side liquidity levels, unfilled liquidity voids, and imbalances that can highlight on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
A volume profile is an advanced charting tool that displays the traded volume at different price levels over a specific period. It helps you visualize where the majority of trading activity has occurred.
Key Levels are the areas where the volume is concentrated or where there are significant volume spikes. These levels are known as key support and resistance levels. High-volume nodes indicate areas of high activity and are likely to act as support or resistance in the future.
Volume profile also helps identify value areas, which represent the price levels where the most trading activity has taken place. These levels can act as areas of support or resistance as traders perceive them as fair value.
The Point of Control describes the price level where the most volume was traded. A Naked Point of Control (also called a Virgin Point of Control) is a previous POC that has not been traded. Extending PoC options 'Until Bar Cross' or 'Until Bar Touch' helps in identifying Naked Point of Control Lines.
Previous PoC levels can serve as support and resistance for future price movements. Extending PoC Level 'Until Last Bar' option will help to identify such levels.
🔶 DETAILS
One of the unique features of the script is its ability to detect some other key levels such as levels of acceptance and rejection.
Levels of rejection we may summarize as supply and demand levels, these are also referred to as buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels. They usually occur at extreme highs or lows, where prices may be too high for buyers (high supply, low demand) or too low for sellers (low supply, high demand)
Levels of acceptance are the levels where Liquidity Voids occur, these are also referred to imbalances. Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up, so we call them levels of acceptance.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case:
Point Of Control Line is touched/crossed
Value Area High Line is touched/crossed
Value Area Low Line is touched/crossed
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Display Options
Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization, where Present assumes last X bars specifid in '# Bars' option and Historical assumes all data available to the user as well as allowed limits of visiual objects (boxs, lines, labels etc)
# Bars: Controls the lookback length.
🔹 Swing Volume Profiles
The script takes into account user-defined parameters and plots volume profiles. Due to Pine Script™ drwaing objects limit only total volume profiles are presented.
Swing Detection Length: Lookback period
Swing Volume Profiles: Toggles the visibility of the Volume Profiles, with color options to differentiate the Value Area within a profile.
Profile Range Background Fill: Toggles the visibility of the Volume Profiles Range
🔹 Point of Control (PoC)
Point of Control (POC) – The price level for the time period with the highest traded volume
Point of Control (PoC): Toggles the visibility of the Point of Control
Developing PoC: Toggles the visibility of the Developing PoC
Extend PoC: Option that allows detecting virgin PoC levels. Virgin Point of Control (VPoC) is defined as a Point of Control that has never been revisited or touched. The option also allows PoC levels to extend till the last bar aiming to present levels from history where the levels were traded significantly and those levels can be used as support and resistance levels.

VWAP Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
VWAP Volume Profile is an advanced hybrid of the VWAP and volume profile concepts. It visualizes how volume accumulates relative to VWAP movement—separating rising (+VWAP) and declining (−VWAP) activity into two mirrored horizontal profiles. It highlights the dominant price bins (POCs) where volume peaked during each directional phase, helping traders spot hidden accumulation or distribution zones.
🔵 CONCEPTS
VWAP-Driven Profiling: Unlike standard volume profiles, this tool segments volume based on VWAP movement—accumulating positive or negative volume depending on VWAP slope.
Dual-Sided Profiles: Profiles expand horizontally to the right of price. Separate bins show rising (+) and falling (−) VWAP volume.
Bin Logic: Volume is accumulated into defined horizontal bins based on VWAP’s position relative to price ranges.
Gradient Coloring: Volume bars are colored with a dynamic gradient to emphasize intensity and direction.
POC Highlighting: The highest-volume bin in each profile type (+/-) is marked with a transparent box and label.
Contextual VWAP Line: VWAP is plotted and dynamically colored (green = rising, orange = falling) for instant trend context.
Candle Overlay: Price candles are recolored to match the VWAP slope for full visual integration.
🔵 FEATURES
Dual-sided horizontal volume profiles based on VWAP slope.
Supports rising VWAP , falling VWAP , or both simultaneously.
Customizable number of bins and lookback period.
Dynamically colored VWAP line to show rising/falling bias.
POC detection and labeling with volume values for +VWAP and −VWAP.
Candlesticks are recolored to match VWAP bias for intuitive momentum tracking.
Optional background boxes with customizable styling.
Adaptive volume scaling to normalize bar length across markets.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use POC zones to identify high-volume consolidation areas and potential support/resistance levels.
Watch for shifts in VWAP direction and observe how volume builds differently during uptrends and downtrends.
Use the gradient profile shape to detect accumulation (widening volume below price) or distribution (above price).
Use candle coloring for real-time confirmation of VWAP bias.
Adjust the profile period or bin count to fit your trading style (e.g., intraday scalping or swing trading).
🔵 CONCLUSION
VWAP Volume Profile merges two essential concepts—volume and VWAP—into a single, high-precision tool. By visualizing how volume behaves in relation to VWAP movement, it uncovers hidden dynamics often missed by traditional profiles. Perfect for intraday and swing traders who want a more nuanced read on market structure, trend strength, and volume flow.
Zig-Zag Volume Profile (Bull vs. Bear) [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
Thank you @Pinecoders and @TradingView for putting polylines in production and making this viable!!
This script "Zig Zag Volume Profile" implements the polyline feature for Pine Script!
Features
Volume Profile anchored to zig zag trends
Bull vs Bear profiles!
Delta x price level
Standard POC and value area lines, in addition to separated POCs and value area lines for bull profiles and bear profiles
Up to 9999 profile rows per zigzag trend
Stylistic options for profiles
Configurable zig zag - profiles generated for small to large trends
Polylines!
This script generates Bull vs. Bear volume profiles for zig zag trends!
The zigzag indicator is configurable as normal; minor and major trend volume profiles are calculable. This indicator can be thought of as "Volume Profile/Delta for Trends''.
Up to 9999 volume profile levels (price levels) can be calculated for each profile, thanks to the new polyline feature, allowing for less aggregation / more precision of volume at price and volume delta.
Zig Zag Bull Vs Bear Profiles
The image above shows primary functionality!
Green profiles = buying volume
Red profiles = selling volume
Profiles are generated for each trend identified by the zigzag indicator.
The image above shows the indicator calculating volume delta for specific price blocks on the profile. Aggregate volume delta for the identified trend is displayed over the profile!
The image above shows Bull Profile POC lines and value area lines. Bear Profile POC lines and value area lines are also shown!
All colors and transparencies are configurable to the user's liking :D
Additionally, you can select to have the profiles drawn on contrasting sides. Bull Profile on left and Bear Profile on right.
For a more traditional look - you can select to draw the Bull & Bear profiles on the same x-point.
The indicator is robust enough to calculate on "long zig zags" and "short zig zags"; curved profiles can also be used!
The image above exemplifies usage of the indicator!
Bull & Bear volume profiles are calculated for trends on the 30-second timeframe.
The image above shows a more "utilitarian" presentation of the profiles. Once more, line and linefill colors/transparencies are all customizable; the indicator can look however you would like it to!
The image above shows key levels, the Bull vs. Bear profile, and volume delta for the current trend!
That's about it :D
This indicator is part of a series titled "Bull vs. Bear" - a suite of profile-like indicators I will be releasing over coming days. Thanks for checking this out!
Of course, a big thank you to @RicardoSantos for his MathOperator library that I use in every script.
If you have any suggestions please feel free to share!
Multi-Layer Volume Profile [BigBeluga]A powerful multi-resolution volume analysis tool that stacks multiple profiles of historical trading activity to reveal true market structure.
This indicator breaks down total and delta volume distribution across time at four adjustable depths — enabling traders to spot major POCs, volume shelves, and zones of price acceptance or rejection with unmatched clarity.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Multi-Layer Volume Profiles:
Up to 4 separate volume profiles are stacked on the chart:
- Profile 1: Full period
- Profile 2: Half-length
- Profile 3: Quarter-length
- Profile 4: One-eighth-length
This layering helps traders assess confluence across different time horizons.
Custom Bin Resolution:
Each profile uses a customizable number of bins to control visual precision.
More bins = higher granularity, fewer bins = smoother profile.
Precise POC Highlighting:
The price level with the maximum traded volume in each profile is highlighted with a thick blue POC line.
This key level shows the most accepted price for each period.
Total and Delta Volume Labels:
- Total Volume: Displays cumulative volume over the profile period at the top of the profile box.
- Delta Volume: The difference between bullish and bearish volume is labeled at the base, showing directional pressure.
Positive delta = buyer dominance, negative delta = seller dominance.
Range Levels:
Each profile includes horizontal reference lines showing its high, low, bounds.
These edges often align with price reaction zones and become future resistance/support.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
For each active profile, the indicator:
- Collects price range (highs/lows) across the selected `length`
- Divides this range into equal bins
- Assigns volume into bins based on candle close location
- Aggregates volume per bin to form the profile (polylines)
Separately tracks:
- Total volume (sum of all candles in range)
- Delta volume (sum of candle volumes: positive for bullish, negative for bearish closes)
Highlights the bin with maximum volume (POC)
and marks it with a thick blue line.
Adds auxiliary lines for high/low of each profile box
and total/delta volume tags with tooltips.
🔵 USAGE
Spot Acceptance Zones:
Thick, flat areas on the profile show where price stayed longest — ideal for building positions.
Identify Rejection Zones:
Thin volume areas signal price rejection and are often used for stop placement or entries.
Delta Confirmation:
Use strong positive/negative delta readings as directional bias confirmation for breakout trades.
Confluence Detection:
Watch for overlapping POCs between layers to identify extremely strong support/resistance zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Multi-Layer Volume Profile equips traders with a deeply layered market structure view.
Whether you're scalping intraday levels or analyzing macro support zones, the ability to stack volume perspectives, visualize directional delta, and anchor POCs provides an edge in anticipating market moves.
Use this tool to validate entries, confirm structure, and make more informed, volume-aware trading decisions.

Enhanced Volume Profile [TFO]The Enhanced Volume Profile analyzes volume by price to find potential inflection points that we can reference in future price action.
The volume profiles altogether are simply an estimation from price/volume data that TradingView is capable of providing. Below is an example of 1 day volume profiles. The left chart uses 50 rows for each profile, while the right chart uses 500 rows. As a result, the right chart is capable of providing much greater detail.
Profile Timeframe specifies the timeframe of the profile to be constructed. When set to 1 day for example, then each profile represents the price/volume data from 1 daily bar.
Resolution Timeframe is the timeframe of price/volume data used to construct the profile. Lower timeframes result in higher resolution, but also greater computation time.
Below is an example of 1 day volume profiles. Both charts are using 250 rows for every profile, but the left chart is using a 15m resolution timeframe, while the right chart is using a 1m resolution timeframe. The lower timeframe data on the right chart allows for greater detail than the left.
Volume Point of Control (VPOC) shows the price level where the most volume was traded during a given session. Show VPOCs will draw these levels on each volume profile, with the corresponding color. In the following chart, each solid blue line represents a VPOC for the corresponding session.
Extend Recent VPOCs will track the N most recent VPOC levels, and extend them to the right side of the chart for easy visual reference. Show VPOC Labels will annotate each VPOC extension with the date (and time, for lower timeframes) that each corresponding profile began. Below is an example where Extend Recent VPOCs and Show VPOC Labels are both enabled.
Show Previous HVN will show High Volume Nodes from previous sessions, and extend them until price trades through them. When a session ends, any new HVNs located above that close price will be red while any HVNs below will be green (default colors).
HVNs are validated with a strength parameter that compares the peak volume to its neighboring levels to determine local extremes, along with a percentile filter to optionally specify if valid nodes must contain a peak volume greater than X% of the volume traded at VPOC.
The same capabilities exist for Low Volume Nodes as well. Show Previous LVN will extend these Low Volume Nodes from previous sessions until price trades through them.
The default color scheme will color nodes proportionate to the individual session. For example, a HVN derived from VPOC would always result in the deepest possible color because the node's peak contains the highest volume traded for that session. Every lesser node would be colored lighter than this, proportional to that session's VPOC.
We can also choose to color these nodes in a way that reflects their relative volume compared to recent sessions. For HVNs, darker colors imply more volume was traded at said nodes while lighter colors imply less volume. In the following example, the left chart uses the session based color scheme while the right chart uses the historical color scheme.
