Adaptive Volume Delta Map---
📊 Adaptive Volume Delta Map (AVDM)
What is Adaptive Volume Delta Map (AVDM)?
The Adaptive Volume Delta Map (AVDM) is a smart, multi-timeframe indicator that visualizes buy and sell volume imbalances directly on the chart.
It adapts automatically to the best available data resolution (tick, second, minute, or daily), allowing traders to analyze market activity with micro-level precision .
In addition to calculating volume delta (the difference between buying and selling pressure), AVDM can display a Volume Distribution Map — a per-price-level visualization showing how volume is split between buyers and sellers.
Key Features
✅ Adaptive Resolution Selection — Automatically chooses the highest possible data granularity — from tick to daily timeframe.
✅ Volume Delta Visualization — Displays delta candles reflecting the dominance of buyers (green), sellers (red), and delta (orange).
✅ Per-Level Volume Map (optional) — Shows detailed buy/sell volume distribution per price level, grouped by `Ticks Per Row`.
✅ Bid/Ask Classification — When enabled, AVDM uses bid/ask logic to classify trade direction with greater accuracy.
✅ Smart Auto-Disable Protection — Automatically disables volume map if too many price levels (>50) are detected — preventing performance degradation.
Inputs Overview
Use Seconds Resolution — Enables use of second-level data (if your TradingView subscription allows it).
Use Tick Resolution — Enables tick-based analysis for the most detailed view. If available, enable both tick and seconds resolution.
Use Bid/Ask Calculated — Uses bid/ask midpoint logic to classify trades.
Show Volume Distribution — Toggles per-price-level buy/sell volume visualization.
Ticks Per Row — Controls how many ticks are grouped per volume level. Reduce this value for finer detail, or increase it to reduce visual load.
Calculated Bars — Sets how many historical bars the indicator should process. Higher value increases accuracy but may impact performance.
How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Ensure that your symbol provides volume data (and preferably tick or second-level data).
3. The indicator will automatically select the optimal timeframe for detailed calculation.
4. If your TradingView subscription allows second-level data , enable “Use Seconds Resolution.”
5. If your subscription allows tick-level data , enable both “Use Tick Resolution” and “Use Seconds Resolution.”
6. Adjust the “Calculated Bars” input to set how many historical bars the indicator should process.
7. Observe the Volume Delta Candles :
* Green = Buy pressure dominates
* Red = Sell pressure dominates
8. To see buy/sell clustering by price, enable “Show Volume Distribution.”
9. If the indicator disables the map and shows:
" Volume Distribution disabled: Too many price levels detected (>50). Try decreasing 'Ticks Per Row' or using a lower chart resolution. If you don’t care about the map, just turn off 'Show Volume Distribution'. "
— follow the instructions to reduce chart load.
Notes
* Automatically adapts to your chart’s resolution and data availability.
* If your symbol doesn’t provide volume data, a runtime warning will appear.
* Works best on futures , FX , and crypto instruments with high-frequency volume streams.

Realtime Order Bubbles — cryptomonk Description:
Displays real-time bubbles on the chart to visualize buy and sell activity within each candle.
• Green bubbles → Volume increase on upticks (buy pressure)
• Red bubbles → Volume increase on downticks (sell pressure)
• Bubble size → Strength of the volume change
How it works:
The indicator compares live tick updates (or bar closes) against previous volume and price values to detect whether a move was initiated by buyers or sellers, then plots bubbles in real-time accordingly.
Best used for:
• Scalping / Intraday analysis on lower timeframes (1–5 min)
• Detecting volume spikes, momentum shifts, and aggressive order flow
• Works best when chart is set to “Go Live” for tick-level updates
Use case:
A lightweight visual tool for identifying short-term order flow and understanding market pressure without needing full footprint data.
RSI MACD CLOCKWORK TABLEWhat you get, at a glance:
• MACD Cell — Shows the current MACD value and a small direction icon (▲ rising, ▼ falling, ⏺ flat). The background color adapts to regime: green above zero, red below zero, gray near the line. Lengths are configurable (fast/slow/signal).
• RSI Cell — Plots the latest RSI with an identical direction icon and background logic (green above 50, red below 50, gray around 50). RSI length is configurable.
• Clockwork Row — This is the structure check. The script computes the slope (in degrees) of EMA(5), EMA(8), and EMA(13). If all three exceed your bullish threshold, you’ll see “Clockwork: Bullish” (lime). If all three are below your bearish threshold, you’ll see “Clockwork: Bearish” (red). Otherwise, it’s “Neutral” (gray). Thresholds are fully user-tunable.
Smart right-hand cell (choose your readout):
• Duplicate — Mirrors the Clockwork label.
• Time to Close — A clean mm:ss countdown for the current timeframe (with safe defaults on unusual timeframes).
• Slope Degrees — Prints the 5/8/13 EMA slopes in degrees (e.g., +12.3°).
• Slope Pack ▲▼ — Only the direction of each slope (less noise, more speed).
• EMA Spread (5↔13) — Shows the slope differential (degrees) between short and long EMAs.
• Volume Pace — Projects end-of-bar volume from live progress, compares it to your N-bar average, and renders a tiny text progress bar (██░░…) with a neutral “thermo” palette: black = hot (> high threshold), light blue = cold (< low threshold), silver = typical. All inputs (length, bar width, thresholds) are configurable.
• ATR — Current ATR with direction vs previous bar (▲/▼/⏺).
Quality-of-life:
• Optional top padding (~20px) to keep the table visually separated from other overlays.
• Lightweight string/emoji UI for clarity without heavy graphics.
• Defensive guards around timeframe math so the TTC keeps working smoothly.
How to use:
Add to any symbol/timeframe.
Set your MACD/RSI lengths and Clockwork slope thresholds to match your system’s sensitivity.
Pick a right-cell mode that complements your workflow (TTC for day trading, Volume Pace for intrabar context, ATR for volatility).
Note: This tool is informational, not a standalone signal generator. Combine the Clockwork alignment with your entries/exits and risk management.
Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer [BigBeluga] [Optimized]This version of Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer (© BigBeluga) has been optimized to improve execution speed and reduce script load times without altering the visual output or analytical logic of the original indicator. The key improvements focus on reducing computational complexity, eliminating redundant calculations, and minimizing expensive function calls within loops.
Core Optimization Changes
Single-Pass Volume Binning (O(N) instead of O(N×M))
Original: For each bin (100) the script iterated through every bar (lookback), resulting in ~20,000 operations.
Optimized: Each bar is processed once to directly calculate its bin index. This reduces the loop complexity from O(N×M) to O(N), where N = lookback.
Precomputed Min/Max Values
Original: array.min() and array.max() were repeatedly called inside loops, re-scanning arrays hundreds of times.
Optimized: Min and max are computed once before all calculations and reused, reducing computational overhead.
Reduced Label Creation
Original: Labels were created in every iteration, potentially hundreds of times per update — a very expensive operation in Pine.
Optimized: Only two labels are created for significant high and low levels, cutting down label calls by ~99%.
Efficient Resource Management
All boxes and lines are cleared once before re-rendering instead of being deleted individually inside nested loops.
Optional gradient rendering and POC drawing remain, but only after binning is complete.
Performance Evaluation
The most important change is the reduction of loop complexity — instead of performing around 20,000 iterations per update, the optimized version now processes only about 200. This reduces execution time and makes the indicator much lighter.
Function calls such as min() and max() are now calculated only once instead of hundreds of times, which removes unnecessary overhead. Likewise, label creation has been reduced from hundreds of labels per refresh to just two, further improving performance.
As a result, the average loading time of the indicator dropped from roughly 1.5–3 seconds to about 0.05–0.2 seconds on typical datasets.
Fixed-Range Volume-Profile ZonesFixed Range Volume Profile Zones (with Dynamic Percentile Buffers)
This indicator calculates a fixed‑range volume profile over a user‑defined lookback period and identifies three key zones:
– VAL (Value Area Low)
– POC (Point of Control)
– VAH (Value Area High)
Volume is grouped into user‑selected price bins to create a profile of where the most trading activity occurred.
The script then splits the distribution into three zones and highlights the extremes (VAL/VAH) and the highest‑volume price (POC).
Dynamic Percentile Buffers
Instead of static offsets, this version computes the 10th and 90th percentile prices (user‑adjustable) of recent closes over the same lookback window.
These percentiles are used to create adaptive buffers above VAH and below VAL.
The buffers automatically expand or contract with market volatility and recent price distribution, filtering out weak or noisy touches.
Visual Elements:
– Green/orange/red horizontal lines = VAL / VAH / POC
– Green shading below VAL = buy zone
– Red shading above VAH = sell zone
– Down arrows above bars = closes above VAH + buffer
– Up arrows below bars = closes below VAL – buffer
Inputs:
– Lookback Days: number of bars used to build the profile
– Number of Bins: controls resolution of the volume profile
– VAH Percentile and VAL Percentile: choose which percentile levels to use for dynamic buffers
Use Cases:
– Quickly identify areas of high participation (POC) and potential support/resistance (VAL/VAH)
– Filter out weak breakouts using dynamic buffers
– Combine with other signals to improve entries/exits

Dynamic Volume Trace Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile is a reimagined take on volume profile analysis. Instead of plotting a static horizontal histogram on the side of your chart, this indicator projects dynamic volume trace lines directly onto the price action. Each bin is color-graded according to its relative strength, creating a living “volume skeleton” of the market. The orange trace highlights the current Point of Control (POC)—the price level with maximum historical traded volume within the lookback window. On the right side, the tool builds a mini profile, showing absolute volume per bin alongside its percentage share, where the POC always represents 100% strength .
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic On-Chart Bins:
The range between highest high and lowest low is split into 25 bins. Each bin is drawn as a horizontal trace line across the lookback chart period.
Gradient Color Encoding:
Trace lines fade from transparent to teal depending on relative volume size. The more intense the teal, the stronger the historical traded activity at that level.
Automatic POC Highlight:
The bin with the highest aggregated volume is flagged with an orange line . This POC adapts bar-by-bar as volume distribution shifts.
Right-Side Volume Profile:
At the chart’s right edge, the script prints a box-style profile. Each bin shows:
• Total volume (absolute units).
• Percentage of max volume, in parentheses (POC bin = 100%).
This gives both raw and normalized context at a glance.
Adjustable Lookback Window:
The lookback defines how many bars feed the profile. Increase for stable HTF zones or decrease for responsive intraday distributions.
POC Toggle & Styling:
Optionally toggle POC highlighting on/off, adjust colors, and set line thickness for better integration with your chart theme.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Step Sizing:
over last 100 bars is divided by to calculate bin height.
Volume Aggregation:
For each bar in the , the script checks which bin the close falls into, then adds that bar’s volume to the bin’s counter.
Gradient Mapping:
Bin volume is normalized against the max volume across all bins. That value is mapped onto a gradient from transparent → teal.
POC Logic:
The bin with highest volume is colored orange both on the dynamic trace and in the right-side profile.
Right-Hand Profile:
Boxes are drawn for each bin proportional to volume / maxVolume × 50 units, with text labels showing both absolute volume and normalized %.
⯁ USAGE
Use the orange trace as the dominant “magnet” level—price often gravitates to the POC.
Watch for clusters of strong teal traces as areas of high acceptance; thin or faint zones mark low-liquidity gaps prone to fast moves.
On intraday charts, tighten lookback to reveal session-based distributions . For swing or position trading, expand lookback to surface more durable volume shelves.
Compare the right-side profile % to judge how “top-heavy” or “bottom-heavy” the current distribution is.
Use bright, intense color traces as context for confluence with structure, OBs, or liquidity hunts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile takes the traditional volume profile and fuses it into the body of price itself. Instead of a fixed sidebar, you see gradient traces layered directly on the chart, giving real-time context of where volume concentrated and where price may be drawn. With built-in POC highlighting, normalized % readouts, and an adaptive right-side profile, it offers both precision levels and market structure awareness in a cleaner, more intuitive form.
Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman) is a next-generation volume profile that renders market participation as a 3D-style profile directly on your chart. Instead of flat histograms, you get a depth-aware profile with parallax, gradient transparency, and bull/bear separation, so you can see where liquidity stacked up and how it shifted during the move.
Highlights:
3D visual effect with perspective and depth shading for clarity.
Bull/Bear separation to see whether up bars or down bars created the volume.
Flexible colors and gradients that highlight where the most significant trading activity took place.
This is a state-of-the-art volume profile — visually powerful, highly flexible, and unlike anything else available.
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The price range (from highest to lowest) is divided into a number of levels (buckets). Each bar’s volume is added to the correct level, based on its average price. This builds a map of where trading volume was concentrated.
You can choose to:
Aggregate all volume at each level, or
Split bullish vs. bearish volume , slightly offset for clarity.
This creates a clear view of which price zones matter most to the market.
⚪ 3D Effect Creation
The unique part of this indicator is how the 3D projection is built. Each volume block’s width is scaled to its relative size, then tilted with a slope factor to create a depth effect.
maxVol = bins.bu.max() + bins.be.max()
width = math.max(1, math.floor(bucketVol / maxVol * ((bar_index - start) * mult)))
slope = -(step * dev) / ((bar_index - start) * (mult/2))
factor = math.pow(math.min(1.0, math.abs(slope) / step), .5)
width → determines how far the volume extends, based on relative strength.
slope → creates the angled projection for the 3D look.
factor → adjusts perspective to make deeper areas shrink naturally.
The result is a 3D-style volume profile where large areas pop forward and smaller areas fade back, giving you immediate visual context.
█ How to Use
⚪ Support & Resistance Zones (HVNs and Value Area)
Regions where a lot of volume traded tend to act like walls:
If price approaches a high-volume area from above, it may act as support.
From below, it may act as resistance.
Traders often enter or exit near these zones because they represent strong agreement among market participants.
⚪ POC Rejections & Mean Reversions
The Point of Control (POC) is the single price level with the highest volume in the profile.
When price returns to the POC and rejects it, that’s often a signal for reversal trades.
In ranging markets, price may bounce between edges of the Value Area and revert to POC.
⚪ Breakouts via Low-Volume Zones (LVNs)
Low volume areas (gaps in the profile) offer path of least resistance:
Price often moves quickly through these thin zones when momentum builds.
Use them to spot breakouts or continuation trades.
⚪ Directional Insight
Use the bull/bear separation to see whether buyers or sellers dominated at key levels.
█ Settings
Use Active Chart – Profile updates with visible candles.
Custom Period – Fixed number of bars.
Up/Down – Adjust tilt for the 3D angle.
Left/Right – Scale width of the profile.
Aggregated – Merge bull/bear volume.

Quadro Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Quadro Volume Profile is a precision-engineered volume profiling tool that segments market activity into four distinct quadrants surrounding the current price. By separating bullish and bearish volume above and below the current price, it helps traders identify dominant forces and high-interest price zones with ease. Each quadrant includes label annotations showing total volume and its share of overall activity — delivering powerful insights into the market’s internal structure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Four-Quadrant Volume Distribution : Volume is separated into Buy and Sell profiles both above and below the current price.
Directional Volume Logic : Bullish and bearish candle volume is allocated to specific bins, creating color-coded volume stacks.
Dynamic PoC Detection : Point of Control (PoC) levels are calculated per quadrant and optionally displayed.
Lookback-Based Anchoring : The volume histogram is anchored to a fixed lookback window, ensuring consistency and historical context.
Label-Based Analytics : Each quadrant displays a labeled breakdown of direction, total volume, and percentage weight of total activity.
🔵 FEATURES
Four separate volume profiles:
Upper Left: Bearish volume (Sell Quad above price)
Upper Right: Bullish volume (Buy Quad above price)
Lower Left: Bullish volume (Buy Quad below price)
Lower Right: Bearish volume (Sell Quad below price)
Live Labels for Each Quad:
Displays BUY or SELL direction
Shows total volume per quadrant (e.g. 607.49K)
Displays percent share of total quad volume (e.g. 18.87%)
Toggle visibility for each profile and each Point of Control (PoC) dashed PoC lines with volume annotations
Adjustable calculation period (lookBack), number of bins, and horizontal offset
Color gradient intensity represents volume strength per bin
Auto-cleaning visuals to keep the chart uncluttered
Gradient color control for Buy and Sell volumes
Clean midline split between upper and lower quadrants
🔵 HOW TO USE
Select your desired calculation period (default: 200 bars) to define the range for volume analysis.
Adjust the bins parameter for more or less resolution in volume distribution.
Toggle each quadrant on/off depending on your preference using the settings panel:
“Upper Sell Quad” – shows bearish volume above current price (left)
“Upper Buy Quad” – shows bullish volume above current price (right)
“Lower Buy Quad” – shows bullish volume below current price (left)
“Lower Sell Quad” – shows bearish volume below current price (right)
Enable or disable PoC lines for each quad to highlight where volume peaked.
Use the gradient coloring to identify volume imbalances — sharp differences between opposing quads often indicate key zones of rejection or breakout.
Monitor the midline level which splits the four quadrants — it serves as a psychological pivot zone.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Quadro Volume Profile offers a powerful and visually intuitive way to dissect market activity around price. By splitting volume into four quadrants, traders can better interpret order flow, identify dominant volume zones, and spot potential reversals or continuation setups. Whether you're trading breakouts, liquidity sweeps, or range-bound behavior — this tool adds a structured layer of volume context to your charting workflow.
Tape Speed Pulse (Pace + Direction) [v6 + Climax]Tape Speed Pulse (Pace + Direction)
One-liner:
A lightweight “tape pulse” that turns intraday bursts of buying/selling into an easy-to-read histogram, with surge, slowdown, and climax (exhaustion) markers for fast decision-making. Use on sec and min charts.
What it measures
Pace (RVOL): current bar volume vs the recent average (smoothed).
Direction proxy: uptick/downtick by comparing close to close .
Pulse (histogram): direction × pace, so you see who’s pushing and how fast.
Colors
- Lime = Buy surge (pace ≥ threshold & upticking)
- Red = Sell surge (pace ≥ threshold & downticking)
- Teal = Buy pressure, sub-threshold
- Orange = Sell pressure, sub-threshold
- Faded/gray = Near-neutral pace (below the Neutral Band)
Lines (toggleable)
-White = Pace (RVOL)
- Yellow = Slowdown line = a drop of X% from the last 30-bar peak pace
Background tint mirrors the current state so you can glance risk: greenish for buy pressure, reddish for sell pressure.
Signals & alerts
- BUY surge – fires when pace crosses above the surge threshold with uptick direction (optional acceleration & uptick streak filters; cooldown prevents spam).
- SELL surge – mirror logic to downside.
- Slowdown – fires when pace crosses below the yellow slowdown line while direction ≤ 0 (early fade warning).
Climax (exhaustion)
- Buy Climax: previous bar was a buy surge with a large upper wick; current bar slows (below slowdown line) and direction ≤ 0.
- Sell Climax: mirror (large lower wick → slowdown → direction ≥ 0).
- Great for trimming/tight stops or fade setups at obvious spikes.
- Create alerts via Add alert → Condition: this indicator → choose the specific alert (BUY surge, SELL surge, Slowdown, Buy Climax, Sell Climax).
How to use it (playbook)
- Longs (e.g., VWAP reclaim / micro pullback)
- Only take entries when the pulse is teal→lime (buy pressure to buy surge).
- Into prior highs/VWAP bands, take partials on lime spikes.
- If you get a Slowdown dot and bars turn orange/red, tighten or exit.
Shorts (failed reclaim / lower-high)
- Look for teal→orange→red with rising pace at a level.
- Add confidence if a Buy Climax printed right before (exhaustion).
- Risk above the spike; don’t fight true ignitions out of bases.
Simple guardrails
- Avoid new longs when the histogram is orange/red; avoid new shorts when teal/lime.
- Use with VWAP + 9/20 EMA or your levels. The pulse is confirmation, not the whole thesis.
Inputs (what they do & when to tweak)
- Pace lookback (bars) – window for average volume. Lower = faster; higher = steadier.
Too jumpy? raise it. Missing quick bursts? lower it.
- Smoothing EMA (bars) – smooths pace. Higher = calmer.
Use 4–6 during the open; 3–4 midday.
- Surge threshold (× RVOL) – how fast counts as a surge.
Too many surges? raise it. Too late? lower it slightly.
- Slowdown drop from 30-bar max (%) – how far below the recent peak pace to call a slowdown.
Higher % = later slowdown; lower % = earlier warning.
- Neutral band (× RVOL) – paces below this fade to gray.
Raise to clean up noise; lower to see subtle pressure.
- Min seconds between signals – cooldown to prevent spam.
Increase in chop; reduce if you want more pings.
- BUY/SELL: min consecutive upticks/downticks – tiny streak filter.
Raise to avoid wiggles; lower for earlier signals.
Require pace accelerating into signal – ON = avoid stall breakouts; OFF = earlier pings.
Climax options: wick % threshold & “require slowdown cross”.
Raise wick% / require cross to be stricter; lower to catch more fades.
Quick presets
- Low-float runner, 5–10s chart
- Lookback 20, Smoothing 3–4, Surge 2.2–2.8, Slowdown 35–45, Neutral 1.0–1.2, Cooldown 15–25s, Streaks 2–3, Accel ON.
- Thick large-cap, 1-min
- Lookback 20–30, Smoothing 5–7, Surge 1.5–1.9, Slowdown 25–35, Neutral 0.8–1.0, Cooldown 30–60s, Streaks 2, Accel ON.
- Open vs Midday vs Power Hour
- Open: higher Surge, more Smoothing, longer Cooldown.
- Midday: lower Surge, less Smoothing to catch subtler pushes.
- Power hour: moderate Surge; keep Slowdown on for exits.
Reading common patterns
- Ignition (likely continuation): lime spike out of a base that holds above a level while pace stays above yellow.
- Exhaustion (likely fade): lime spike late in a run with upper wick → Slowdown → orange/red. The Buy Climax diamond is your tell.

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.

Composite Time ProfileComposite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) - Market Profile Compositing Tool
Automatically composite multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure
What is the Composite Time Profile Overlay?
The Composite Time Profile Overlay (CTPO) is a Pine Script indicator that automatically composites multiple time periods to identify key areas of balance and market structure. It's designed for traders who use market profile concepts and need to quickly identify where price is likely to find support or resistance.
The indicator analyzes TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data across different timeframes and merges overlapping profiles to create composite levels that represent the most significant areas of balance. This helps you spot where institutional traders are likely to make decisions based on accumulated price action.
Why Use CTPO for Market Profile Trading?
Eliminate Manual Compositing Work
Instead of manually drawing and compositing profiles across different timeframes, CTPO does this automatically. You get instant access to composite levels without spending time analyzing each individual period.
Spot Areas of Balance Quickly
The indicator highlights the most significant areas of balance by compositing overlapping profiles. These areas often act as support and resistance levels because they represent where the most trading activity occurred across multiple time periods.
Focus on What Matters
Rather than getting lost in individual session profiles, CTPO shows you the composite levels that have been validated across multiple timeframes. This helps you focus on the levels that are most likely to hold.
How CTPO Works for Market Profile Traders
Automatic Profile Compositing
CTPO uses a proprietary algorithm that:
- Identifies period boundaries based on your selected timeframe (sessions, daily, weekly, monthly, or auto-detection)
- Calculates TPO profiles for each period using the C2M (Composite 2 Method) row sizing calculation
- Merges overlapping profiles using configurable overlap thresholds (default 50% overlap required)
- Updates composite levels as new price action develops in real-time
Key Levels for Market Profile Analysis
The indicator displays:
- Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) levels calculated from composite TPO data
- Point of Control (POC) levels where most trading occurred across all composited periods
- Composite zones representing areas of balance with configurable transparency
- 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for breakout targets based on composite range
Multiple Timeframe Support
- Sessions: For intraday market profile analysis
- Daily: For swing trading with daily profiles
- Weekly: For position trading with weekly structure
- Monthly: For long-term market profile analysis
- Auto: Automatically selects timeframe based on your chart
Trading Applications for Market Profile Users
Support and Resistance Trading
Use composite levels as dynamic support and resistance zones. These levels often hold because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes.
Breakout Trading
When composite levels break, they often lead to significant moves. The indicator calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions to give you clear targets for breakout trades.
Mean Reversion Strategies
Value Area levels represent the price range where most trading activity occurred. These levels often act as magnets, drawing price back when it moves too far from the mean.
Institutional Level Analysis
Composite levels represent areas where institutional traders have made significant decisions. These levels often hold more weight than traditional technical analysis levels because they're based on actual trading activity.

Real-World Trading Examples
Day Trading with Session Composites
Use session-based composites to identify intraday areas of balance. The VAH and VAL levels often act as natural profit targets and stop-loss levels for scalping strategies.
Swing Trading with Daily Composites
Daily composites provide excellent swing trading levels. Look for price reactions at composite zones and use the 1.618 extensions for profit targets.
Position Trading with Weekly Composites
Weekly composites help identify major trend changes and long-term areas of balance. These levels often hold for months or even years.
Risk Management
Composite levels provide natural stop-loss levels. If a composite level breaks, it often signals a significant shift in market sentiment, making it an ideal place to exit losing positions.
Why Composite Levels Work
Composite levels work because they represent areas where significant trading decisions were made across multiple timeframes. When price returns to these levels, traders often remember the previous price action and make similar decisions, creating self-fulfilling prophecies.
The compositing process uses a proprietary algorithm that ensures only levels validated across multiple time periods are displayed. This means you're looking at levels that have proven their significance through actual market behavior, not just random technical levels.
Technical Foundation
The indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) data combined with price action analysis to identify areas of balance. The C2M row sizing method ensures accurate profile calculations, while the overlap detection algorithm (minimum 50% price range intersection) ensures only truly significant composites are displayed. The algorithm calculates row size based on ATR (Average True Range) divided by 10, then converts to tick size for precise level calculations.
How the Code Actually Works
1. Period Detection and ATR Calculation
The code first determines the appropriate timeframe based on your chart:
- 1m-5m charts: Session-based profiles
- 15m-2h charts: Daily profiles
- 4h charts: Weekly profiles
- 1D charts: Monthly profiles
For each period type, it calculates the number of bars needed for ATR calculation:
- Sessions: 540 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Daily: 1440 minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Weekly: 7 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
- Monthly: 30 days worth of minutes divided by chart timeframe
2. C2M Row Size Calculation
The code calculates True Range for each bar in the determined period:
- True Range = max(high-low, |high-prevClose|, |low-prevClose|)
- Averages all True Range values to get ATR
- Row Size = (ATR / 10) converted to tick size
- This ensures each TPO row represents a meaningful price movement
3. TPO Profile Generation
For each period, the code:
- Creates price levels from lowest to highest price in the range
- Each level is separated by the calculated row size
- Counts how many bars touch each price level (TPO count)
- Finds the level with highest count = Point of Control (POC)
- Calculates Value Area by expanding from POC until 68.27% of total TPO blocks are included
4. Overlap Detection Algorithm
When a new profile is created, the code checks if it overlaps with existing composites:
- Calculates overlap range = min(currentVAH, prevVAH) - max(currentVAL, prevVAL)
- Calculates current profile range = currentVAH - currentVAL
- Overlap percentage = (overlap range / current profile range) * 100
- If overlap >= 50%, profiles are merged into a composite
5. Composite Merging Logic
When profiles overlap, the code creates a new composite by:
- Taking the earliest start bar and latest end bar
- Using the wider VAH/VAL range (max of both profiles)
- Keeping the POC from the profile with more TPO blocks
- Marking the composite as "active" until price breaks through
6. Real-Time Updates
The code uses barstate.islast to optimize performance:
- Only recalculates on the last bar of each period
- Updates active composite with live price action if enabled
- Cleans up old composites to prevent memory issues
- Redraws all visual elements from scratch each bar
7. Visual Rendering System
The code uses arrays to manage drawing objects:
- Clears all lines/boxes arrays on every bar
- Iterates through composites array to redraw everything
- Uses different colors for active, broken, and dead composites
- Calculates 1.618 Fibonacci extensions for broken composites

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.

Prev Day Volume ProfileWhat the script does
Calculates yesterday’s Volume Profile from the bars on your chart (not tick data) and derives:
POC (Point of Control)
VAL (Value Area Low)
VAH (Value Area High)
Draws three horizontal lines for today:
POC in orange
VAL and VAH in purple
Adds labels on the right edge that show the level name and the exact price (e.g., POC 1.2345).
Why it’s bar-based (not tick-based)
Pine Script can’t fetch external tick/aggTrades data. The script approximates a volume profile by distributing each bar’s volume across the price bins that the bar’s high–low range covers. For “yesterday”, this produces a stable, TV-native approximation that’s usually sufficient for intraday trading.
Key inputs
Value Area %: Defaults to 0.70 (70%)—the typical value area range.
TZ Offset vs Exchange (hours): Shifts the day boundary to match your desired session (e.g., Europe/Berlin: +1 winter / +2 summer). This ensures “yesterday” means 00:00–24:00 in your target timezone.
Row Size: Manual? / Manual Row Size: If enabled, you can set the price bin size yourself. Otherwise, the script chooses a TV-like step from syminfo.mintick.
Colors & Line width: POC orange; VAL/VAH purple; configurable width.

Extreme Zone Volume ProfileExtreme Zone Volume Profile (EZVP)
Originality & Innovation
The Extreme Zone Volume Profile (EZVP) revolutionizes traditional volume profile analysis by applying statistical zone classification to volume distribution. Unlike standard volume profiles that display raw volume data, EZVP segments the price range into statistically meaningful zones based on percentile thresholds, allowing traders to instantly identify where volume concentration suggests strong support/resistance versus areas of potential breakout.
Technical Methodology
Core Algorithm:
Distributes volume across user-defined bins (20-200) over a lookback period
Calculates volume-weighted price levels for each bin
Applies percentile-based zone classification to the price range (not volume ranking)
Zone B (extreme zones): Outer percentile tails representing potential rejection areas
Zone A (significant zones): Secondary percentile bands indicating strong interest levels
Center Zone: Bulk trading range where most price discovery occurs
Mathematical Foundation:
The script uses price-range percentiles rather than volume percentiles. If the total price range is divided into 100%, Zone B captures the extreme price tails (default 2.5% each end ≈ 2 standard deviations), Zone A captures the next significant bands (default 14% each ≈ 1 standard deviation), leaving the center for normal distribution trading.
Key Calculations:
POC (Point of Control): Price level with maximum volume accumulation
Volume-weighted mean price: Total volume × price / total volume
Median price: Geometric center of the price range
Rightward-projected bars: Volume bars extend forward from current time to avoid historical chart clutter
Trading Applications
Zone Interpretation:
Zone B (Red/Green): Extreme price levels where volume suggests strong rejection potential. Price reaching these zones often indicates overextension and possible reversal points.
Zone A (Orange/Teal): Significant support/resistance areas with substantial volume interest. These levels often act as intermediate targets or consolidation zones.
Center (Gray): Fair value area where most trading occurs. Price tends to return to this range during normal market conditions.
Strategic Usage:
Reversal Trading: Look for rejection signals when price enters Zone B areas
Breakout Confirmation: Volume expansion beyond Zone B boundaries suggests genuine breakouts
Support/Resistance: Zone A boundaries often provide reliable entry/exit levels
Mean Reversion: Price tends to gravitate toward the volume-weighted mean and POC lines
Unique Value Proposition
EZVP addresses three key limitations of traditional volume profiles:
Visual Clarity: Standard profiles can be cluttered and difficult to interpret quickly. EZVP's color-coded zones provide instant visual feedback about price significance.
Statistical Framework: Rather than relying on subjective interpretation of volume nodes, EZVP applies objective percentile-based classification, making support/resistance identification more systematic.
Forward-Looking Display: Rightward-projecting bars keep historical price action clean while maintaining current market structure visibility.
Configuration Guide
Lookback Period (10-1000): Controls the historical depth of volume calculation. Shorter periods for intraday scalping, longer for swing trading.
Number of Bins (20-200): Resolution of volume distribution. Higher values provide more granular analysis but may create noise on lower timeframes.
Zone Percentages:
Zone B: Extreme threshold (default 2.5% = ~2σ statistical significance)
Zone A: Significant threshold (default 14% = ~1σ statistical significance)
Visual Controls: Toggle individual elements (POC, median, mean, zone lines) to customize display complexity for your trading style.
Technical Requirements
Pine Script v6 compatible
Maximum bars back: 5000 (ensures sufficient historical data)
Maximum boxes: 500 (supports high-resolution bin counts)
Maximum lines: 50 (accommodates all zone and reference lines)
This indicator synthesizes volume profile theory with statistical zone analysis, providing a quantitative framework for identifying high-probability support/resistance levels based on volume distribution patterns rather than arbitrary price levels.
Volume Profile + VAH, VAL, and POCWhat it is
A clean, on-chart volume profile that approximates your visible range using a configurable Bars Back window. It builds a horizontal histogram of volume by price, splits each price bin into Buy vs Sell volume, draws POC, and computes Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL). A Stealth Mode toggle switches to a subtle grayscale palette for low-key charts.
Why this instead of the built-in VPVR?
Buy/Sell split per bin: See which prices were defended by buyers vs sellers, not just total volume.
Value Area from POC outward: Classic expansion method until the selected % of total volume (default 70%).
Sleek borders & Stealth Mode: Crisp bin outlines and a one-click professional colorway.
Deterministic & fast: No sessions or anchors needed—set your Bars Back and go.
How it works (under the hood)
Window selection – Pine can’t read your viewport, so we approximate it with Bars Back (user input).
Binning – The window’s price range is divided into N bins.
Volume allocation – For each bar in the window:
Distribute Across Hi–Lo (optional): Spread volume across all bins the bar overlaps, weighted by overlap; or
Single-price mode: Assign all volume to one bin using a representative price (hlc3).
Buy/Sell split (two methods):
Body Proportional (recommended): Split by relative up/down body size (|close−open|).
Up/Down Candle: 100% buy if close ≥ open, else 100% sell.
POC & VA: Point of Control is the bin with max total volume. VAH/VAL expands from POC toward the higher-volume neighbor until the selected % of total volume is included.
Reading the visuals
Horizontal bars (right side): Total volume per price bin.
Left sub-segment = Sell volume
Right sub-segment = Buy volume
POC line: Price level with peak total volume.
VAH / VAL (dashed): Upper and lower bounds of the selected Value Area.
Borders: Each bin has a clean outer outline so the profile looks tight and organized.
Stealth Mode: Grayscale palette that preserves contrast without loud colors.
Key inputs (organized for clarity)
Theme
Stealth Mode: Toggles the grayscale look.
Core
Price Bins: Vertical resolution of the profile.
Lookback (Bars): Approximates your visible range.
Style
Profile Width (bars): How far the histogram extends to the right.
Bin Border Width: Outline thickness.
Markers & Lines
Show POC, Show VAH/VAL, Value Area %, VA line width.
Advanced
Distribute Volume Across Hi–Lo: More accurate, heavier compute.
Buy/Sell Split Method: Body Proportional (realistic) or Up/Down (simple).
Tips & best practices
Start with Body Proportional + Distribute Across ON for intraday accuracy.
If the chart lags, reduce Price Bins or Bars Back, or switch off distribution.
For small windows, fewer bins often looks cleaner (e.g., 30–60).
Stealth Mode plays nicely with both dark and light chart themes.
Limitations & notes
Viewport: Pine can’t access the actual visible bars; Bars Back is a practical stand-in.
Buy/Sell split: This is an approximation from candle bodies, not true bid/ask delta.
Designed for overlay; profile renders to the right of the latest bar.
