Rolling Volume Profile [Matrix Volume Heatmap] by NXT2017Description
This indicator offers a unique visual approach to Volume Profile analysis. Instead of the traditional histogram bars or boxes, this script renders a Rolling Volume Profile as a background "Matrix Heatmap" directly on your chart.
By dividing the price action of the most recent N-candles into 30 horizontal zones (buckets), it visualizes where the most trading activity has occurred within your defined lookback period. The visualization uses dynamic transparency to highlight the Point of Control (POC) and high-volume nodes, while fading out low-volume areas.
🧠 How it Works
The script operates on a "Rolling Window" basis, meaning it recalculates the profile at every bar to reflect the immediate market context.
Dynamic Range: It calculates the highest High and lowest Low of the user-defined Lookback Length (default: 1000 bars).
Bucket Slicing: This vertical range is divided into 30 equal price buckets.
Volume Distribution (Overlap Logic): The script iterates through the historical data. If a candle is large and spans multiple buckets, its volume is distributed proportionally across those buckets. This ensures a more realistic profile compared to simply assigning volume to the close price.
Heatmap Visualization:
The script calculates the Maximum Volume (POC) within the profile.
It uses a Reference Length to normalize this maximum.
Dynamic Opacity: Zones with volume close to the maximum are rendered opaque (solid). Zones with low relative volume become highly transparent. This creates an automatic "Heatmap" effect, allowing you to instantly spot the most significant price levels.
⚙️ Settings
Lookback Length (candles): Defines how far back the profile calculates volume (e.g., 1000 bars).
POC Reference Length: Defines the smoothing window for the 100% volume baseline. Increasing this stabilizes the color changes; decreasing it makes the heatmap more reactive to sudden volume spikes.
Profil Color: Choose the base color for the matrix. The transparency is calculated automatically.
💡 Use Case
This tool is ideal for traders who want to see the "Value Area" of the current range without cluttering the chart with complex boxes or side-bars. It works excellent as a background context tool to identify:
High Volume Nodes (Support/Resistance)
Low Volume Nodes (Price gaps/Rejection areas)
Migrating Points of Control (Trend direction)

Key Levels (PA, MAs, VWAPs, Volume Profile, rVWAPs)This indicator marks all kinds of key levels so that users can keep an overview of their specified levels in a convenient non chart cluttering way. It can highlight levels of confluence or display each level seperately.
The indicator includes markers for the following levels:
Price Action: Opens, Previous High/Low, Monday Range
Moving Averages: H4, D1 and W1 with customisable lengths
VWAPs: Developing and Previous VWAPs with their respective VAL/VAH (1 Standard Deviation)
Rolling VWAPs
Volume Profile: Developing and Previous VAL/VAH/POC
What makes this indicator different is its vast customisation options and big library of levels…
… users can choose to merge all levels that are aligned in a specified % threshold and additionally they can choose to color them the same color to highlight confluence levels.
… users have the choice between Full Label Markers or Abbreviations of those Labels.
… users have the choice of a few presets making level switching fast and convenient (Price Action, Volume Profile, VWAP, Volume or Custom).
… users can specify if they prefer to highlight Simple Moving Averages or Exponential Moving Averages. They have calculations available on three different timeframes and can change the lengths of each.
… users can color all levels the same with one click instead of having to manually change all of them.
… when users choose Volume Profile Levels they can either let the script auto calculate the row size making asset switching simple or they can manually input row size.
With the custom preset users can show and hide whichever levels they want.
(To have them the same every time you freshly load the indicator save your settings as default in the lower left corner of the settings tab).
Purpose
This indicator is designed to serve as a level visualisation tool that has the ability to highlight levels of confluence. It may assist in keeping an overview of where all levels are currently located but does not produce signals or trade recommendations.
Price & Volume Profile (Expo)█ Overview
The Price & Volume Profile provides a holistic perspective on market dynamics by simultaneously tracking price action and trading volume across a range of price levels. So it is not only a volume-based indicator but also a price-based one. In addition to illustrating volume distribution, it quantifies how frequently the price has fallen within a particular range, thus offering a holistic perspective on market dynamics.
This unique and comprehensive approach to market analysis by considering both price action and trading volume, two crucial dimensions of market activity. Its distinctive methodology offers several advantages:
Holistic Market View: By simultaneously tracking the frequency of specific price ranges (Price Profile) and the volume traded at those ranges (Volume Profile), this indicator provides a more complete picture of market behavior. It shows not only where the market is trading but also how much it's trading, reflecting both price acceptance levels and market participation intensity.
Point of Control (POC): The POC, as highlighted by this indicator, serves as a significant reference point for traders. It identifies the price level with the highest trading activity, thus indicating a strong consensus among market participants about the asset's fair value. Observing how price interacts with the POC can offer valuable insights into market sentiment and potential trend reversals.
Support and Resistance Levels: Price levels with high trading activity often act as support or resistance in future price movements. The indicator visually represents these levels, enabling traders to anticipate potential price reactions.
Price Profile
Price and Volume Profile
█ Calculations
The algorithm analyzes both trade frequency and volume across different price levels. It identifies these levels within the visible chart range, then examines each bar to determine if the selected price falls within these levels. If so, it increases a counter and adds the trading volume. This process repeats across the visible range and is visualized as a horizontal histogram, each bar representing a price level and the bar length reflecting trade frequency and volume. Additionally, it calculates the Point of Control (POC), signifying the price level with the highest activity.
In summary: The histogram presents a dual perspective - not only the traded volume at each price level but also the frequency of the price hitting each range. The longer the bar, the more times the price has frequented that specific range, revealing key insights into price behavior and acceptance levels. These frequently visited areas often emerge as strong support or resistance zones, helping traders navigate market movements.
Please note that the indicator adjusts to the visible price range, making it adaptable to changing market conditions. This dynamic analysis can provide more relevant and timely information than static indicators.
█ How to use
This indicator is beneficial for traders as it offers insights into the distribution of trading activity across different price levels. It helps identify key areas of support and resistance and gives a visual representation of market sentiment and liquidity.
The point of control (POC) , which is the price level with the highest traded volume or frequency count, becomes even more crucial in this context. It marks the price at which the most trading activity occurred, signaling a strong consensus among market participants about the asset's fair value. If the market price deviates significantly from the POC, it could suggest an overbought or oversold condition, potentially leading to a price reversion.
Fair Price Areas/gaps are specific price levels or zones where an asset has spent limited time in the past. These areas are considered interesting or significant because they may have an impact on future price action.
Similar to the concept of fair value gaps, which refers to discrepancies between an asset's market price and its estimated intrinsic value, Fair Price Areas/gaps focus on price levels that have been relatively underutilized in terms of trading activity. When an asset's price reaches a Fair Price Area/gap, traders and investors pay attention because they expect the price to react in some way. The rationale behind this concept is that price tends to gravitate towards areas where it has spent less time in the past, as the market perceives them as significant levels.
█ Settings
The indicator is customizable, allowing users to define the number of price levels (rows), the offset, the data source, and whether to display volume or frequency count. It also adjusts dynamically to the visible price range on the chart, ensuring that the analysis remains relevant and timely with changing market conditions.
Source: The price to use for the calculation. Typically, this is the closing price. By considering the user-selected Source (typically the closing price), the indicator determines the frequency with which the price lands within each designated price level (row) over the selected period. In essence, the indicator provides a count of bars where the Source price falls within each range, essentially creating a "Price Profile."
Row Size: The number of price levels (rows) to divide the visible price range into.
Display: Choose whether to display the number of bars ("Counter") or the total volume ("Volume") for each price level.
Offset: The distance of the histogram from the price chart.
Point of Control (POC): If enabled, the indicator will highlight the price level with the most activity.

Silen's Pseudo VPVR / Pseudo Volume Profile Custom RangeDisclamer: This indicator does not use actual Volume data and doesn't display any Volume data. It creates a pseudo Volume Profile by counting the high-low-2 values of candles and simulates something that is similar to a Volume Profile without using any Volume data.
Core facts:
Creates a pseudo Volume Profile by counting values of candles and sorting them into a Profile.
Works for charts that don't provide any Volume Information.
Can display up to 5 different Value Levels.
Value level colors are (from largest to smallest level): Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue.
The Value levels can be used as Support and Resistance indicators.
The Custom Range of the Volume Profile can be adjusted from 10 to 1500 bars.
Much faster than the other custom pseudo VPVRs out there.
Shortcomings:
As the chart progresses with bars the line positions will distort to the left side. Refreshing the tradingview page or switching to another time interval fixes this. I might fix this issue in the future.
Does not use actual Volume nor display actual Volume.
Note: For those who wondered what happened to my first version of this indicator: It got taken down by Tradingview because it was misleading as to using the words "Volume Profile" and "Visible Range". I fully support their decision and I hope I could clear any misunderstandings! Give their team a heads up for the hard work they're doing in keeping this place clean and well organized!
Enjoy! :)
Alos Volume Profile Candles (SVP)ALOS Volume Profile Candles (SVP)
Summary
IMPORTANT: This indicator is designed to be used only with TradingView's 'Session Volume Profile' chart type. It will not work correctly with standard candle charts.
This indicator powerfully visualizes intra-session price action by dividing a single session profile into a specific number of equal-sized synthetic candles.
Instead of viewing a session as one single block, you can now break it down into parts (like quarters or thirds) to see how price behaved during each segment of the profile.
Key Features
Custom Session Slicing: Set "Candles per session" to 4 to see the session in quarters, 6 to see it in sixths, or any number you choose.
Full Session Control: Works perfectly with any custom session time, including complex overnight sessions (like '1800-1700' for CME crypto futures)
Accurate OHLC Calculation: Each synthetic candle correctly calculates and displays its own Open, High, Low, and Close for its specific time slice.
Clean Charting: Use the "Keep last sessions" input to control how many old sessions are drawn, preventing chart clutter and keeping your analysis focused on recent price action.
How to Use
On your TradingView chart, change the chart type to "Session Volume Profile".
Add the "ALOS Volume Profile Candles (SVP)" indicator to your chart.
Set your desired Session time in the indicator settings (or keep the default).
Choose the number of Candles per session you want to divide it into.
Adjust Keep last sessions to control how much history is displayed.
This tool is ideal for traders who want to analyze price behavior during the opening, middle, and closing parts of a session, or for breaking down long 24-hour crypto sessions into more manageable chunks.
Cumulative Volume Profile DeltaThis indicator calculates the Cumulative Volume Profile Delta (CVPD). It constructs a high-resolution volume profile for each bar using intra-bar data, then derives and accumulates the delta from that profile to show net buying/selling pressure.
Key Features:
Statistical Volume Profile Engine: For each bar, the indicator builds a high-resolution volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it uses statistical models ('PDF' allocation) to distribute volume across price levels and advanced classifiers ('Dynamic' split) to determine the buy/sell pressure before accumulation.
Periodic Accumulation: The CVPD accumulation is anchored to a user-defined 'Anchor Timeframe' (e.g., daily, weekly). This cyclical reset allows to analyze the build-up of pressure within specific trading periods.
"Delta Candle" Visualization: The periodic CVPD is shown as a candle, where:
Open: The CVPD value at the start of the period (or zero).
High/Low: Represent the peak buying (CVD High) and selling (CVD Low) pressure within that period's profile.
Close: The final net delta value (CVD) for the period.
Dual CVD & Divergence Engine: The indicator calculates two CVPDs: a Periodic one (for plotting) and a Continuous one (non-resetting). The continuous line is used as a stable source for the built-in divergence engine (detecting Regular, Hidden, and Exaggerated).
Dynamic Divergence Plotting: Divergence markers are plotted relative to the periodic (candle) CVPD. They automatically adjust their vertical position after a reset to remain visually aligned with the plotted candles.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence signals rely on a pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
The Start of a- divergence is only detected after the confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on Pivot Right Bars).
The End of a divergence is detected either instantly (if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Output: The entire analysis (Delta Candles, Divergences) can be calculated on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Divergence detection engine (pivDiv) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 18 comprehensive alerts for:
The start and end of all 6 divergence types.
The periodic CVPD crossing the zero line.
Conditions of agreement or disagreement between the delta and the main bar's direction.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.

MACD Momentum Structure & Volume Profile Sniper [MTF]**Description and Methodology**
This script offers a unique approach to Market Structure by moving away from traditional fractal-based highs and lows (which can be noisy). Instead, it utilizes **MACD Momentum Swings** to identify significant structural points, combined with an automated Fixed Range Volume Profile to pinpoint high-probability entry zones.
**1. Why MACD Structure? (The Core Concept)**
Traditional "ZigZag" or Fractal indicators rely solely on price action, often leading to fake-outs during low-volume consolidation.
* This script defines a "Swing High" only when the MACD Histogram crosses below zero (Momentum shifts Bearish).
* This script defines a "Swing Low" only when MACD crosses above zero (Momentum shifts Bullish).
By linking structure to momentum, we filter out weak price movements and focus on the true "heartbeat" of the trend.
**2. The "Mashup" Synergy: Structure + Volume + Logic**
This is not a random combination of indicators. Each component serves a specific step in the trading execution sequence:
* **Step 1 (Structure):** The script identifies a Change of Character (CHoCH) based on the MACD peaks described above.
* **Step 2 (Liquidity/Value):** When a CHoCH occurs, the script *automatically* draws a **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)** specifically covering the impulse leg that caused the break. This reveals the "Point of Control" (POC)—the hidden price level where the most volume occurred during the move.
* **Step 3 (The Sniper Entry):** The script creates a "Zone" around that POC. It then waits for Price to retrace into this zone.
* **Step 4 (Confirmation):** Once the zone is touched, the script monitors a lower timeframe (User selectable, default M1) for a fresh MACD crossover to trigger the final entry signal.
**Features**
* **Multi-Timeframe Dashboard:** Monitor the MACD Trend direction across 4 different timeframes simultaneously.
* **Dynamic Trendlines:** Automatically connects confirmed MACD peaks to visualize trend integrity.
* **Fibo Time Zones:** Projects potential future pivot points based on the duration of the previous swing.
* **Alert System:** Integrated alerts for Zone Touches and "Sniper" entries (Zone Touch + LTF Momentum Confirmation).
**How to Use**
1. **Identify Trend:** Look for the CHoCH labels. Green indicates a shift to Bullish, Red to Bearish.
2. **Wait for Pullback:** Do not chase the break. Wait for price to return to the Yellow POC Zone generated by the Volume Profile.
3. **Entry Trigger:** Watch for the "BUY" or "SELL" marks. These appear only when price hits the zone AND the lower-timeframe momentum aligns with the trade direction.
**Settings & Inputs**
* **Global MACD:** Adjust the sensitivity of the swing detection (Default 12, 26, 9).
* **Sniper Entry:** Select the timeframe used for the final confirmation (e.g., use M1 confirmation for an H1 chart structure).
* **VP Settings:** Customize how the Volume Profile looks on the chart.
*Disclaimer: This script is intended for educational purposes and market analysis. It does not provide financial advice.*
Square-root Decay Volume ProfileThis indicator displays a custom price profile that mimics a volume profile using occurrence-based weighting rather than actual volume. It counts how often the selected price source (e.g., close) falls within each price bin over a lookback period. What makes it unique is the use of square-root time decay: more recent price occurrences are given greater importance, while older data is discounted proportionally to the inverse square root of its age.
Each bin's relative weight is visualized as a horizontal bar aligned to the right edge of the chart, showing where price has "spent time" more recently. This allows traders to identify areas of interest, balance zones, and potential support/resistance levels based on decayed price density.
Key Features:
Square-root decay weighting favors recent price action
Adjustable lookback period, bin count, and histogram width
Works with any price source (close, hl2, etc.)
Plots boxes directly on the chart for clear visualization
This tool is especially useful for discretionary traders seeking a price-centric alternative to traditional volume profiles, with an added emphasis on recency.
Uniform Volume ProfileUniform Volume Profile
The volume of a single candlestick is uniformly distributed by its range (high - low) along all the colliding volume profile bars.
For example, if a 10% of a candlestick intersects some volume bar (horizontal line) only the 10% of that candlestick volume will contribute to that profile.
Advanced Volume ProfileTHIS SCRIPT CURRENTLY ONLY WORKS FOR ASSETS THAT TRADE 24/7 OR CBOE FUTURES HOURS!
This script plots volume relative to an asset's historical volume profile.
Usage:
As a companion to my "Unusual Time Frame Volume" (UTF Volume) script, this plots volume against the same historical volume profile used for UTF Volume.
The same high volume (relative to historical) threshold alert is available (yellow bar).
Likewise, if the volume exceeds the historical threshold, but is below the alert threshold, the bar color is orange.
At the top of the chart is an indicator which is green if a bar has higher volume than the previous bar.
You can also set a threshold for this such that if the volume of a bar exceeds the previous bar by a certain multiplier which will turn the indicator yellow.
For example, if the threshold is set to "1.5", then the indicator will be yellow (instead of green) on an increase in volume over the previous bar of 1.5x.
NOTES:
Again, this script currently only works for assets that trade 24/7 or CBOE Futures hours!
Make sure you set the "Asset Mode" and "Time Frame (minutes)" to values that match your asset and chart setting.
For example, if you are trading Futures on a 2m chart, set the Asset Mode to Futures and Time Frame to 2m.
If you are trading crypto on a 5m chart, set the Asset Mode to 24/7 and Time Frame to 5m.
If the settings are not set appropriately, the output will be incorrect/invalid.
If you choose a "Look-back (Days)" setting that is too far back given the time frame, the script will produce an error.
I suggest playing with settings from "1" (compares volume to the previous day's volume) to the highest number that doesn't break the script.
For example, at a 2m time frame, the maximum look-back will be "6" or "7" depending on which mode you are using.
Longer chart time settings allow larger look-back values.
I find that the default value ("6") does a decent job in general.
Please feel free to reuse or further develop this script.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would send me a message below if you find it useful.
Continuous Volume Profile v1.0This script is a continuous real time Volume Profile. Unlike the standard Volume Profile that focuses on fixed/visible range it will update and plot the following on every bar.
Point of Control (POC)
Value Area High (VAH)
Value Area Low (VAL)
You have the standard 3 parameters to configure:
Period Length
Number of Bins/Rows
Percent for Value Area
Please pm me if you would like to try the script.
Dynamic Volume ✨ Profile PublicThis script is a comprehensive Pine Script indicator for TradingView called "Dynamic Volume Profile." It analyzes price and volume data to calculate a dynamic oscillator, adaptive midlines, and volume-weighted price deviations. The script highlights bullish and bearish zones, detects trend reversals, and plots signals for potential long and short entries using colored circles. It also visualizes probability density function (PDF) zones to identify statistically favorable trading areas. Additionally, it automatically detects trend direction, volatility, and trend strength, and can display a table of major global trading sessions with real-time status and countdowns. The script is highly customizable for different assets, timeframes, and trading styles.

█ 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.
HAPPY TRADING ✌️
Fixed volume profile & zonesHi all!
If you like volume profile and like to create zones, where the price might react, this indicator might be for you. It plots a fixed volume profile and creates a user defined number of zones (shelves) of high volume.
If you want to know more about volume profile you can about it here on TradingView: se.tradingview.com
To do
• Add possiblity to create alerts for zone entries, breakouts and retest
• The importance of zones are now based on high volume slots only. It might be changed to include the slots around the 'master slot' to determine if the area is of high importance or not, your suggestions here are welcome!
• Show total volume in 'values'
• Error if the data cannot be fetched
• Add value area
• Make earlier (more important shelves) more visible (less transparent)
• Add possiblity to skip zones
Known issues
• Script execution is long when the volume profile is created (should be none)
• In some cases you can get overlapping shelves, avoid this
Settings
• Main
• Start/end bar of the volume profile (this is required)
• Data
• Timeframe (for getting the volume data)
• Levels (the number of slots in the volume profile)
• Shelves (the number of zones with high volume to plot) and it's color
• Max slot (have this enabled if you want the shelf's highest volume slot to have a dotted line and choose it's color
• Show info (show the order of the plotted zone)
• Style (how the volume profile will look)
• Histogram box (the color of the background of the volume profile)
• Up (the color of bullish volume)
• Down (the color of bearish volume)
• Point of control (color and if it should be extended or not)
• Values and text color (show bullish and bearish volume values)
The defaults on all settings are based on the daily timeframe. This indicator is not 'complete' and I plan to work on it when I get the time.
Note that the precision for the volume profile is per candle, so some levels can have visuals as others but lower volume.
The slot (level) volume has to have a lower difference to the volume included in the shelf than the next volume to be checked to be included. If the level being checked for inclusion in a shelf is at the end of boundaries (high and low) of the volume profile, the volume has to be higher than the golden ratio of the volume before.
You can also use this indicator if you just want a volume profile to show, just set the the number of zones to plot (in 'Shelves') to 0.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything and that it's clear, let me know otherwise.
Best of trading luck!

What is Volume Profile?
Volume profile is a technical analysis tool that shows the volume of trades at different prices for a given security or market over a specific period of time.
How to effectively use it?
Identify key levels of support and resistance: The Periodic Volume Profile indicator can be used to identify key levels of support and resistance based on the volume of trades at different price levels. High volume areas can indicate strong support or resistance levels, while low volume areas can indicate areas of weakness or potential breakouts.
Assess overall supply and demand: The Periodic Volume Profile indicator can help traders assess overall supply and demand for a security. If there is high volume at a particular price level, this can indicate a high level of demand, while low volume can indicate low demand.
Use it in conjunction with other indicators: The Periodic Volume Profile indicator is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools. For example, you can use it with moving averages, trend lines, or other indicators to confirm signals or identify potential entry and exit points.
Consider the overall market context: It's important to consider the overall market context when interpreting volume profile data. For example, a high volume area may not necessarily indicate a strong level of support or resistance if the overall market is in a downtrend.
Monitor changes over time: Keep an eye on how the volume profile changes over time. If there are significant changes in the volume of trades at certain price levels, this could indicate a shift in market sentiment or a change in the underlying fundamentals of the security.
Candle Volume ProfileAn updated version of Candle Volume Profile.
Reworked to make it work with every timeframe.
All you gotta do is type in the input a value that is 1/10th of the current timeframe in minutes (example: 6 on the 1h tf, 24 on the 4h, 1 on the 10min tf etc etc)
The redder the part of the candle is, the higher the volume was in that section.

Zeta Volume Profile ProWhat is Volume Profile?
Volume Profile is an advanced order flow analysis which displays volume distribution at various price points over time. It may be called a recent biodata of a stock which is displayed on a chart as a horizontal histogram. Volume Profile can help reveal significant price levels where smart money is sitting.
Why Volume Profile is important?
The life of a Future Contract is of maximum 3 months. All the near month contracts expire on the last Thursday of the respective month. But, the traders who want to continue holding on to their winning positions would likely take the same position in the next series. So they often close the existing position near the expiry and take position in the next series. This activity is termed as Rolling Over the position and mostly it catches strength about 5-6 days before the expiry.
If we start tracking Volume Profile 5-6 days before the monthly expiry, we get to know the levels where maximum concentration of volume is located. In layman terms, we want to see where the biggest crowd is sitting. In this crowd, there will be equal number of buyers and sellers and when either party starts feeling the heat (market goes against them), they try to limit their loss by Buying/Selling and the random walks become a unidirectional march.
Zeta Volume Profile Pro tries to detect this crowd behavior by tracking maximum volume concentration area and when price leaves this area, it generates Buy/Sell Signals.
What is unique about Zeta Volume Profile Pro?
There are other volume profile indicators also in the market but Zeta Volume Profile Pro is unique in following aspects:
1. Whenever last Thursday of any month starts, Zeta Volume Profile Pro resets automatically and starts calculating volume and price levels from 30 bars backwards (default value which the user can change). Assuming we are looking at 30 Min. Time-Frame chart and your Stock Exchange opens for 6 hours a day, the last 30 candles cover 5 days data. If in your time zone, stock exchange remains open for longer hours, you can either increase minimum number of bars to be considered or you may increase your time-frame. The idea is you should cover 5-6 days of data on last Thursday of the month.
2. Once you set the minimum number of bars and time-frame relevant to you, leave everything to Zeta Volume Profile Pro. Now with every passing tick, the volume profile created by Zeta Volume Profile Pro will keep changing and more and more price bars will keep adding to the minimum number of bars set by you till last Wednesday of the current month occurs.
3. On any given day or time, whenever price breaks out of maximum volume concentration area, the indicator generates a Buy/Sell Signal and often such breakouts give handsome returns.
What markets it is suitable for?
It can be used in any time-zone on any stock exchange. However, since the concept is based upon Volume Concentration, it works best on highly liquid stocks, commodities, currency pairs and indices.
It will not give good results if the underlying security is illiquid because volume profile generated will not be efficient one.
Since Future Contracts volume tends to be more than cash segment, it gives much better results on Futures Charts.
Which time frames are best for this indicator?
Choose such time-frame and minimum number of bars which are equivalent to 5-6 trading sessions in your time-zone. In settings, there is an option to set your time-zone.
How to Take Buy/Sell Entry with Zeta Volume Profile Pro?
Whenever you see a Buy Signal appearing on your chart, take Buy Entry and whenever you see a Sell Signal, take Sell side Entry.
Your STOP LOSS would be high or low of candle which occurs just before the Buy/Sell Signal respectively.
Keep moving your STOP LOSS up as the price moves in your favor and when market turns around and you see a SELL signal, it is time to book your BUY position profit and take Entry on SELL Side now and so on.
What are the limitations of this indicator?
Sometimes price takes a break out of maximum volume concentration area and then again comes back which might hit your stop loss. However, as the backtested data shows, having faith in the indicator will give you some so nice breakouts that a single trade will cover your 10 to 20 Stop Loss hits.

Auto-Anchored Fibonacci Volume Profile [Custom Array Engine]Description:
1. The Theoretical Foundation: Structure vs. Participation In professional technical analysis, traders often struggle to reconcile two distinct datasets: Price Geometry (where price should go) and Market Participation (where money actually went).
Why Fibonacci? (The Structure) Fibonacci Retracements map the mathematical structure of a trend. They identify psychological and algorithmic "interest zones" (0.382, 0.5, 0.618) where a correction is statistically likely to terminate. However, Fibonacci levels are theoretical—they are "lines in the sand" that do not guarantee liquidity or reaction.
Why Volume Profile? (The Verification) Volume Profile maps the historical exchange of shares at specific price levels. It reveals "fair value" (High Volume Nodes) and "market imbalance" (Low Volume Nodes). It is the only tool that verifies if a specific price level was actually accepted by institutional participants.
2. Underlying Calculations (The Custom Engine) This script operates on a custom-built calculation engine that bypasses standard built-in functions entirely. It uses Pine Script Arrays to build a Volume Profile from scratch. Here is the breakdown of the proprietary code logic:
A. The "Smart-Fill" Distribution Algorithm (Solves Gapping)
The Problem: Standard volume scripts often assign a candle's entire volume to a single price row. In volatile markets or steep trends, this creates visual "gaps" or a "barcode" effect because price moved too fast to register on every row.
My Solution: I wrote a custom loop that calculates the vertical overlap of every candle against the profile grid.
The Math: Volume Per Bin = Total Candle Volume / Bins Touched.
The Result: If a single volatile candle spans 10 price rows (bins), the script mathematically divides that volume and distributes it equally into all 10 array indices. This generates a solid, continuous distribution curve that accurately reflects price action through the entire candle range, not just the close.
B. Dynamic Arrays & Split-Volume Logic The script initializes two separate floating-point arrays (buyVolArray and sellVolArray) sized to the user's resolution (up to 300 rows). It iterates through the specific time-window of the swing:
If Close >= Open, the calculated volume slice is injected into the Buy Array.
If Close < Open, it is injected into the Sell Array.
These arrays are then visually stacked to render the dual-color profile, allowing traders to see the "Delta" (Buyer vs. Seller aggression) at key structural levels.
C. Custom Garbage Collection (Performance) To enable the "Auto-Anchoring" feature without causing chart lag or visual artifacts ("ghosting"), the script includes a Garbage Collection System. Before drawing a new profile, the script iterates through a tracking array of all existing objects (box.delete, line.delete) and clears them from memory. This ensures the indicator remains lightweight and responsive even when dragging chart margins or switching timeframes.
3. The Synthesis: Why Combine Them? The core philosophy of this script is Confluence . A Fibonacci level without volume is merely a suggestion; a Fibonacci level backed by volume is a defensive wall. By algorithmically anchoring a Volume Profile to the exact coordinates of a Fibonacci swing, this tool allows traders to instantly answer critical questions:
"Is the Golden Pocket (0.618) supported by a High Volume Node (HVN), or is it a Low Volume Node (LVN) that price might slice through?"
"Is the Shallow Retracement (0.382) holding because of structural support, or just a lack of selling pressure?"
4. How to Read the Indicator
The Geometry: The script automatically detects the trend and draws standard Fib levels (0, 0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786, 1.0).
The Confluence Check: Look for the Point of Control (Red Line). If this High Volume Node aligns with a key Fib level (e.g., the 0.618), the probability of a reversal increases significantly.
The Imbalance Check: Look for "Valleys" in the profile (Low Volume Nodes). These gaps often act as "slippage zones" where price travels quickly between structural levels.
Buy/Sell Splits: The dual-color bars (Teal/Red) reveal the composition of the volume. A 0.618 level held up by dominant Buy Volume is a stronger bullish signal than one with mixed volume.
5. Settings & Customization
Lookback Length: Sensitivity of the swing detection (Default: 200 bars).
Resolution: Granularity of the profile rows (Default: 100). Higher values provide smoother definition.
Width (%): Responsive sizing that scales the profile relative to the trend's duration.
Extend Lines: Option to project structural levels infinitely to the right.

DeltaFlow Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The DeltaFlow Volume Profile builds a compact volume profile next to price and enriches every bin with flow context : bullish vs. bearish participation (%), a per-bin Delta % , an optional Delta Heat Map , and a PoC band with the bin’s absolute volume. This lets you see not just where volume clustered, but who (buyers or sellers) dominated inside each price slice.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Binned Volume Profile : Price range over a user-defined LookBack is split into Bins ; each bin aggregates traded volume.
Bull/Bear Split : Within every bin, volume is separated by candle direction into Bull Volume and Bear Volume , then normalized to % of the bin’s displayed size.
Delta % : The difference between Bull % and Bear % for the bin. Positive = buyer dominance; negative = seller dominance.
Delta Heat Map : Bin background shading that scales with both total volume strength and delta bias.
PoC (Point of Control) : The most significant bin gets a PoC band and a label with its absolute volume.
🔵 FEATURES
Profile with Flow : A clean horizontal volume bar per bin plus stacked Bull % and Bear % .
Per-Bin Delta Label : A readable “Δ xx%” tag at the start of each bin shows dominance at a glance.
Delta Heat Map : Optional gradient that intensifies with higher volume and stronger delta.
PoC Highlight : Optional PoC band colored separately, labeled with absolute volume (e.g., “1.23M”).
Configurable Inputs : LookBack, number of Bins (10–100), toggles for Delta, Heat Map, Volume Bars, and PoC color.
Readable Colors : Separate inputs for bullish (volume +) and bearish (volume –) hues.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Set the window : Choose LookBack and Bins to balance detail vs. performance (more bins = finer resolution).
Enable “Volume Bars” to display the bull/bear split as two stacked percent bars inside each bin.
High Bull % near support → constructive demand.
High Bear % near resistance → active supply.
Use Δ labels (toggle “Delta”) to quickly spot bins with clear buyer/seller control; combine with price position for confluence.
Turn on Delta Heat Map to prioritize areas with both large volume and strong imbalance.
Watch the PoC : The PoC band marks the most traded (and often magnet) level; its label shows absolute size for context.
Trade ideas :
Breakout continuation when Δ stays positive across consecutive upper bins.
Reversion risk when price enters a large bearish-Δ cluster below.
Manage risk around the PoC; reactions there can be sharp.
🔵 CONCLUSION
DeltaFlow Volume Profile upgrades a classic profile with flow intelligence. The bull/bear split, explicit Δ %, heat-weighted backdrop, and PoC volume label make dominant participation and key price shelves obvious. Use it to filter levels, time entries with imbalance, and validate breakouts or fades with objective volume-flow evidence.
CVD Divergence & Volume ProfileThis Pine Script indicator, named "CVD Divergence & Volume Profile," is designed to identify potential trading opportunities by combining Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) divergence with Volume Profile levels and an optional Simple Moving Average (SMA) trend filter. It plots signals directly on the price chart.
Here's a breakdown of what each component does and how to potentially trade with it:
1. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Divergence
What it does: CVD measures the cumulative difference between buying and selling volume. A rising CVD indicates more buying pressure, while a falling CVD indicates more selling pressure. Divergence occurs when the price action contradicts the CVD's direction, suggesting a potential shift in momentum or trend reversal.
Bearish Divergence: The price makes a higher high, but the CVD makes a lower high (or fails to make a new high). This suggests that despite the price increasing, the underlying buying pressure is weakening.
Bullish Divergence: The price makes a lower low, but the CVD makes a higher low (or fails to make a new low). This suggests that despite the price decreasing, the underlying selling pressure is weakening.
Visualization:
Red triangle pointing down on the chart indicates a Bearish Divergence signal.
Green triangle pointing up on the chart indicates a Bullish Divergence signal.
2. Volume Profile Levels (VAH, VAL, POC)
What it does: The indicator calculates simplified Volume Profile levels over a user-defined vp_range (number of candles). These levels represent areas where significant trading activity has occurred:
VAH (Value Area High): The upper boundary of the "Value Area," where 70% of the volume traded.
VAL (Value Area Low): The lower boundary of the "Value Area," where 70% of the volume traded.
POC (Point of Control): The price level within the vp_range where the most volume was traded.
Significance: These levels often act as significant support and resistance zones.
Visualization:
Orange lines for VAH and VAL.
Yellow line for POC.
Zone Proximity (zone_thresh): The indicator only generates divergence signals if the current close price is within a specified percentage zone_thresh of either VAH, VAL, or POC. This filters signals to areas of high liquidity and potential turning points.
3. Trend Filter (SMA)
What it does: This is an optional filter (use_trend_filter) that uses a Simple Moving Average (sma_period, default 200).
Significance: It helps ensure that divergence signals are traded in alignment with the broader market trend, potentially increasing their reliability.
For long signals (bullish divergence), the price (close) must be above the SMA (indicating an uptrend).
For short signals (bearish divergence), the price (close) must be below the SMA (indicating a downtrend).
Visualization: A blue line on the chart representing the SMA.
How to Trade with It (Potential Strategies)
The indicator aims to provide high-probability entry points by combining multiple confirming factors. Here's how you might interpret and trade the signals:
Identify Divergence: Look for the triangle signals on your chart (red for bearish, green for bullish).
Confirm Proximity to Volume Profile Levels: The signal itself confirms that the price is near a significant Volume Profile level (VAH, VAL, or POC). These are areas where price often reacts.
Bullish Signal (Green Triangle): This suggests buying momentum is returning after a price decline, especially when the price is near VAL or POC, which might act as support.
Bearish Signal (Red Triangle): This suggests selling momentum is increasing after a price rally, especially when the price is near VAH or POC, which might act as resistance.
Check Trend Alignment (SMA Filter):
For a long trade: You would ideally want to see a green triangle (bullish divergence) while the price is above the blue SMA line. This indicates a bullish divergence confirming a potential bounce within an existing uptrend.
For a short trade: You would ideally want to see a red triangle (bearish divergence) while the price is below the blue SMA line. This indicates a bearish divergence confirming a potential rejection within an existing downtrend.
Entry and Exit Considerations:
Entry: Consider entering a trade on the candle where the signal appears, or on the subsequent candle for confirmation.
Stop Loss: For a long trade, a logical stop-loss could be placed below the lowest point of the divergence, or below the VAL/POC if the signal occurred near it. For a short trade, above the highest point of the divergence or VAH/POC.
Take Profit: Targets could be set at the opposite Volume Profile level, previous swing highs/lows, or using a fixed risk-reward ratio.
Example Trading Scenario:
Long Trade: You see a green triangle (bullish divergence) printed on the chart. You notice the price is currently at the VAL (orange line). You check the blue SMA line and confirm that the price is above it (uptrend). This confluence of factors (bullish divergence, support at VAL, and uptrend) provides a strong potential long entry signal. You might enter, place your stop loss just below VAL, and target VAH or the next resistance level.
Short Trade: You see a red triangle (bearish divergence). The price is at the VAH (orange line). The price is also below the blue SMA line (downtrend). This suggests a potential short entry. You might enter, place your stop loss just above VAH, and target VAL or the next support level.
