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.
