NeoChartLabs POCOne of our Favorite Indicators - the High Time Frame Point of Control with a Volume Profile.
Shout out to p2pasta for the original script, we updated to v6.
Currently included: Monthly, 3 months and 6 months.
/* DEFINITION */
Point Of Control (= POC) is a price level at which the heaviest volumes were traded.
Value Area High/Low (=VAH/VAL) is a range of prices where the majority of trading volume took place. Naturally, Value Area High being the top price level and Value Area Low being the lowest. POC always is between the two.
/* HOW TO TRADE WITH THIS INDICATOR */
The basis for POC is determining bias on whichever timeframe you choose.
1. Identify a POC on the timeframe of your choosing.
/* If you choose a "low" timeframe (monthly here) then make sure to look at the higher timeframes to see how it is playing against a higher timeframe POC.
2. When the price is moving away from the POC (either to the upside or downside) this will confirm or invalidate the trade.
3. You can now enter the trade on bias or wait for a retest of the same POC.

Multi-Distribution Volume Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Multi-Distribution Volume Profile (Zeiierman) is a flexible, structure-first volume profile tool that lets you reshape how volume is distributed across price, from classic uniform profiles to advanced statistical curves like Gaussian, Lognormal, Student-t, and more.
Instead of forcing every market into a single "one-size-fits-all" profile, this tool lets you model how volume is likely concentrated inside each bar (body vs wicks, midpoint, tails, center bias, right-skew, heavy tails, etc.) and then stacks that behavior across a whole lookback window to build a rich, multi-distribution map of traded activity.
On top of that, it overlays a dynamic Center Band (value area) and a fade/gradient model that can color each price row by volume, hits, recency, volatility, reversals, or even liquidity voids, turning a plain profile into a multi-dimensional context map.
Highlights
Choose from multiple Profile Build Modes , including uniform, body-only, wick-only, midpoint/close/open, center-weighted, and a suite of probability-style distributions (Gaussian, Lognormal, Weibull, Student-t, etc.)
Flexible anchor layout: draw the profile on Right/Left (horizontal) or Bottom/Top (vertical) to fit any chart layout
Value Area / Center Band computed from volume quantiles around the POC.
Gradient-based Fade Metrics: volume, price hits, freshness (time decay), volatility impact, dwell time, reversal density, compression, and liquidity voids
Separate bullish vs bearish volume at each price row for directional structure insights
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The script scans a user-defined Bars Included window and finds the full high–low span of that zone. It then divides this range into a user-controlled number of Price Levels (rows).
For each historical bar within the window:
It measures the candle’s price range, body, and wicks.
It assigns volume to rows according to the selected Profile Build Mode, for example:
* Range Uniform – volume spread evenly across the full high–low range.
* Range Body Only / Range Wick Only – concentrate volume inside the body or wicks only.
* Midpoint / Close / Open Only – allocate volume entirely into one price row (pinpoint modeling).
HL2 / Body Center Weighted – center weights around the middle of the range/body.
Recent-Weighted Volume – amplify newer bars using exponential time decay.
Volume Squared (Hard) – aggressively boost bars with large volume.
Up Bars Only / Down Bars Only – filter volume to only bullish or bearish bars.
For more advanced shapes, the script uses continuous distributions across the bar’s span:
Linear, Triangular, Exponential to High
Cosine Centered, PERT
Gaussian, Lognormal, Cauchy, Laplace
Pareto, Weibull, Logistic, Gumbel
Gamma, Beta, Chi-Square, Student-t, F-Shape
Each distribution produces a weight for each row within the bar’s range, normalized so the total volume remains consistent, but the shape of where that volume lands changes.
⚪ POC & Center Band (Value Area)
Once all rows are accumulated:
The row with the highest total volume becomes the Point of Control (POC)
The script computes cumulative volume and finds the band that wraps a user-defined Center of Profile % (e.g., 68%) around the center of distribution.
This range is displayed as a central band, often treated like a value area where price has spent the most “effort” trading.
⚪ Gradient Fade Engine
Each row also gets a fade metric, chosen in Fade Metric:
Volume – opacity based on relative volume.
Price Hits – how frequently that row was touched.
Blended (Vol+Hits) – average of volume & hits.
Freshness – emphasizes recent activity, controlled by Decay.
Volatility Impact – rows that saw larger ranges contribute more.
Dwell Time – where price “camped” the longest.
Reversal Density – where direction changes cluster.
Compression – tight-range compression zones.
Liquidity Void – inverse of volume (thin liquidity zones).
When Apply Gradient is enabled, the row’s bullish/bearish colors are tinted from faint to strong based on this chosen metric, effectively turning the profile into a heatmap of your chosen structural property.
█ How to Use
⚪ Explore Different Distribution Assumptions
Switch between multiple Profile Build Modes to see how your assumptions about intrabar volume affect structure:
Use Range Uniform for classical profile reading.
Deploy Gaussian, Logistic, or Cosine shapes to emphasize central clustering.
Try Pareto, Lognormal, or F-Shape to focus on tail / extremal activity.
Use Recent-Weighted Volume to prioritize the most recent structural behavior.
This is especially useful for traders who want to test how different modeling assumptions change perceived value areas and levels of interest.
⚪ Identify Value, Acceptance & Rejection Zones
Use the POC and Center of Profile (%) band to distinguish:
High-acceptance zones – wide central band, thick rows, strong gradient → fair value areas
Rejection zones & tails – thin extremes, low dwell time, high volatility or reversal density
These regions can be used as:
Targets and origin zones for mean reversion
Context for breakout validation (leaving value)
Bias reference for intraday rotations or swing rotations
⚪ Read Directional Structure Within the Profile
Because each row is split into bullish vs bearish contributions, you can visually read:
Where buyers dominated a price region (large bullish slice)
Where sellers absorbed or defended (large bearish slice)
Combining this with Fade Metrics like Reversal Density, Dwell Time, or Freshness turns the profile into a structural order-flow map, without needing raw tick-by-tick volume data.
⚪ Use Fade Metrics for Contextual Heatmaps
Each Fade Metric can be used for a different analytical lens:
Volume / Blended – emphasize where volume and activity are concentrated.
Freshness – highlight the most recently active zones that still matter.
Volatility Impact & Compression – spot areas of explosive moves vs coiled ranges.
Reversal Density – locate micro turning points and battle zones.
Liquidity Void – visually pop out thin regions that may act as speedways or magnets.
█ Settings
Profile Build Mode – Selects how each bar’s volume is distributed across its price range (uniform, body/wick, midpoint/close/open, center-weighted, or statistical distribution families).
Bars Included – Number of bars used to build the profile from the current bar backward.
Price Levels – Vertical resolution of the profile: more levels = smoother but heavier.
Anchor Side – Where the profile is drawn on the chart: Right, Left, Bottom, or Top.
Offset (bars) – Horizontal offset from the last bar to the profile when using Right/Left modes.
Apply Gradient – Toggles the fade/heatmap coloring based on the selected metric.
Fade Metric – Chooses the property driving row opacity (Volume, Hits, Freshness, Volatility Impact, Dwell Time, Reversal Density, Compression, Liquidity Void).
Decay – Time-decay factor for Freshness (values close to 1 keep older activity relevant for longer).
Profile Thickness – Relative thickness of the profile along the time axis, as a % of the lookback window.
Center of Profile (%) – Volume percentage used to define the central band (value area) around the POC.

VCAI Volume & Liquidity Map LiteVCAI Volume & Liquidity Map Lite visualises recent market participation using a horizontal liquidity/volume histogram plotted beside current price.
It shows where trading activity has clustered, where the chart is thin, and how much of that activity came from buying vs selling pressure.
This Lite edition keeps the tool simple and fast:
Yellow = buy-side volume (aggressive buyers / upward pressure)
Purple = sell-side volume (aggressive sellers / downward pressure)
Thicker sections = higher traded volume at that price
POC line (purple) marks the price with the highest volume concentration
Value Area lines (yellow dashed) mark where ~70% of volume has traded
Bars extend outward to the right of price for a clean, unobstructed chart
Lookback setting controls how many candles the map is built from
Use it to quickly identify:
high-interest price zones
low-liquidity areas where price can move fast
likely reaction levels
where momentum may slow, reverse, or break through
Designed as a lightweight, open-source tool for anyone wanting a clean liquidity/volume map without complex settings.
Part of the VCAI Lite Series.
Volume Gaps & Imbalances (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Volume Gaps & Imbalances (Zeiierman) is an advanced market-structure and order-flow visualizer that maps where the market traded, where it did not, and how buyer-vs-seller pressure accumulated across the entire price range.
The core of the indicator is a price-by-price volume profile built from Bullish and Bearish volume assignments. The script highlights:
True zero-volume voids (regions of no traded volume)
Bull/Bear imbalance rows (horizontal volume slices)
A multi-section Delta Panel, showing aggregated Buy–Sell pressure per vertical sector
A clean separation between profile structure, volume efficiency, and delta flows
Together, these components reveal market inefficiencies, displacement zones, and fair-value regions that price tends to revisit — making it an exceptional tool for structural trading, order-flow analysis, and contextual confluence.
Highlights
Identifies true volume voids (untraded price regions), more precisely than standard FVG tools
Plots Bull vs Bear volume at each price row for fine-grained imbalance reading
Includes a sector-based Delta Grid that aggregates Buy–Sell dominance
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The indicator scans a user-defined Lookback window and divides the full high–low range into Rows. Each bar's volume is allocated into the correct price bucket:
Bullish volume when close > open
Bearish volume when close <= open
This produces three values per price level:
Bull Volume
Bear Volume
Total Volume & Imbalance Profile
Rows where no volume at all occurred are marked as volume gaps — signaling true untraded zones, often produced by impulsive imbalanced moves.
⚪ Zero-Volume Gaps (True Voids)
Unlike candle-based Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), volume gaps identify the deeper, structural inefficiency: Price moved so fast through a region that no trades occurred at those prices. These areas often attract revisits because liquidity never exchanged hands there.
⚪ Bull/Bear Volume Imbalance
Every price row is drawn using two colored horizontal segments:
Bull segment proportional to bullish volume
Bear segment proportional to bearish volume
This reveals where buyers or sellers dominated individual price levels.
⚪ Delta Panel
The full volume profile is cut into Summary Sections. For each block, the script computes: Δ = (Bull Volume − Bear Volume) ÷ Total Volume × 100%
█ How to Use
⚪ Spot True Voids & Inefficiencies
Zero-volume zones highlight where the price moved without trading. These areas often behave like:
Refill zones during retracements
Targets during displacement
Thin regions price slices through quickly
Ideal for both SMC-style trading and structural mapping.
⚪ Identify Bull/Bear Control at Each Price Level
Broad bullish segments show zones of buyer absorption, while wide bearish slices reveal seller control.
This helps you interpret:
Where buyers supported the price
Where sellers defended a level
Which price levels matter for continuation or reversal
⚪ Use Delta Sectors for Contextual Direction
The delta panel shows where market pressure is accumulating, revealing whether the profile is dominated by:
Bullish flow (positive delta)
Bearish flow (negative delta)
Neutral flow (balanced or minimal delta)
█ Settings
Lookback – Number of bars scanned to build the profile.
Rows – Vertical resolution of price bins.
Source – Price source used to assign volume into rows.
Summary Sections – Number of vertical delta sectors.
Summary Width – Horizontal size of the delta bar panel.
Gap From Profile – Distance between profile and delta grid.

NeuraEdge Delta Flow Pro V1.0INSTITUTIONAL ORDER FLOW ANALYSIS
NeuraEdge Delta Flow Pro reveals the hidden battle between buyers and sellers that traditional indicators miss. While price shows you WHAT happened, Delta Flow shows you WHO won the fight.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
⚡ WHAT MAKES THIS UNIQUE?
Unlike basic volume indicators that just show size, Delta Flow analyzes:
- Bar-by-bar order flow direction (buying vs selling pressure)
- Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for institutional accumulation/distribution tracking
- Normalized strength metrics (0-100%) for conviction measurement
- Hidden divergences that predict reversals before they happen
Most order flow tools require expensive data feeds. Delta Flow uses advanced price action algorithms to estimate institutional flow on ANY timeframe, ANY market - all within TradingView.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 VISUAL COMPONENTS
DELTA HISTOGRAM
- Green bars = Buying pressure dominates
- Red bars = Selling pressure dominates
- Bright colors = Strong conviction (>70% threshold)
- Faded colors = Weak/normal pressure
CVD LINE (Blue)
- Rising = Buyers accumulating (institutions buying dips)
- Falling = Sellers distributing (institutions selling rallies)
- Divergence from price = Early reversal warning
DIVERGENCE SIGNALS
- Green Triangle = Bullish divergence (price LL, delta HL)
- Red Triangle = Bearish divergence (price HH, delta LH)
REAL-TIME DASHBOARD
- Current delta state (Strong Buy/Sell/Neutral)
- Normalized strength percentage
- CVD trend direction
- 20-bar pressure statistics
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
🎯 HOW TO USE IT:
1. SIGNAL CONFIRMATION
Your indicator says BUY → Check delta → Green = Take it ✅ | Red = Skip ⚠️
2. DETECT WEAK MOVES
Price rallies but delta is red = Distribution (sellers unloading into strength)
Price drops but delta is green = Accumulation (buyers absorbing weakness)
3. SPOT REVERSALS EARLY
Divergence triangles often precede major turning points by several bars
4. GAUGE CONVICTION
Strong delta (bright colors) = High probability the move continues
Weak delta (near zero) = Chop zone, reduce size or stay flat
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
💎 WHY CLOSED SOURCE?
Delta Flow uses a proprietary calculation method developed through extensive testing to provide the most accurate order flow estimation possible within TradingView's data limitations.
The closed-source model protects the methodology and ensures consistent results for all users, while preventing modifications that could lead to confusion or misinterpretation of signals.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
⚙️ CUSTOMIZABLE SETTINGS
DELTA CALCULATION
- 3 estimation methods (Price Action, Candle Body, Wick Weighted)
- Smoothing options (1-10 periods)

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
📊 REAL MARKET EXAMPLE: EXHAUSTION PATTERN
The chart above shows SPY on the 1-hour timeframe with two critical exhaustion points where Delta Flow provided early reversal warnings:
Exhaustion Point 1 (Left):
- Price: Made higher high
- Delta: RED bars (selling pressure)
- CVD: Falling (net sellers)
- Signal: Green divergence triangle
- Outcome: Reversal down
Exhaustion Point 2 (Right):
- Price: Pushed to new high
- Delta: RED bars persist (weak buyers)
- CVD: Continued bearish
- Signal: Red divergence triangle
- Outcome: Sharp decline
The Pattern:
When price makes new highs but delta remains negative with falling CVD, it indicates:
1. Institutional selling into retail buying
2. Weak hands driving price (exhaustion)
3. Smart money distributing (preparing for reversal)
The divergence triangles appeared BEFORE the major moves down, giving traders advance notice to either exit longs or prepare shorts.
This is why Delta Flow is most powerful when used to FILTER signals from other indicators - it reveals when rallies/selloffs lack conviction.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
📈 BEST PRACTICES
✅ Use with your primary trading system as confirmation
✅ Works on all timeframes (best on 15m+)
✅ Most effective on liquid markets (major pairs, indices, popular crypto)
✅ Pay attention to CVD trend for bigger picture
✅ Divergences are powerful but wait for price confirmation
❌ Not a standalone system - designed for confluence
❌ Less reliable on low-volume instruments
❌ Avoid trading when delta is near zero (indecision zone)

INSTITUTIONAL PRECISION. RETAIL EXECUTION.
Adaptive Window Volume ProfileThe indicator builds a rolling volume profile over a chosen time window (1, 3, 12 months or lower), finds POC, VAH/VAL, RH/RL, HVN/LVN, and then overlays volume-driven bar colors (climax, initiative, absorption) filtered by a 30-day RVWAP trend, so you can see where big volume traded and who is winning there right now.
Example Use Case:
How to use it on 4H with 3-month and 12-month rolling profiles:
On a 4H chart, you run two copies of the indicator, both in Rolling Lookback mode, both using the Full (Overlap) engine:
Instance A – 12-month rolling profile (macro map):
-Rolling Unit: Months
-Rolling Length: 12
This gives you the 1-year composite:
-12M RH / RL → outer range of where almost all yearly volume traded (macro high/low “rails”).
-12M VAH / VAL → yearly value area: where the market has been comfortable doing business over the last year.
-12M POC → the single most traded price of the last 12 months (macro gravity).
-12M HVNs/LVNs → long-term shelves (acceptance) and gaps (knife-edges).
Use this instance to answer:
Where are we in the last year’s distribution, and are we approaching macro extremes or living in fair value?
-Combine it with the 30-day RVWAP regime the script computes:
-Above RVWAP and RVWAP rising → macro bull tilt.
-Below RVWAP and RVWAP falling → macro bear tilt.
For example:
-Price near 12M RL with RVWAP bull → potential deep-discount accumulation zone.
-Price near 12M RH with RVWAP bear → potential exhaustion / distribution zone.
Instance B – 3-month rolling profile (tactical map)
-Rolling Unit: Months
-Rolling Length: 3
This builds a 3-month composite on top of your 4H chart:
-3M RH / RL → extremes of the current quarter’s trading.
-3M VAH / VAL → current “fair value box” for the last 90-ish days.
-3M POC → where recent volume concentrates most heavily.
-3M HVNs/LVNs → fresh shelves and gaps inside the bigger yearly structure.
You use this instance for actual trade locations and management:
-Pullbacks into 3M VAL / RL that still sit inside the 12M value and in a bull RVWAP regime → high-probability dip-buy zones; you then look for bull initiative/absorption bar colors to confirm entry.
-Rallies into 3M VAH / RH that line up near 12M VAH / RH in a bear RVWAP regime → good areas to look for shorts, especially when you see bear climax/initiative bars there.
-3M LVNs that coincide with 12M LVNs or VA edges act as sharp decision points: acceptance through often means expansion; rejection often means reversal.
How it all fits together
On your 4H chart, with both instances active:
-12M profile = macro context and big terrain (where the yearly battlefield is).
-3M profile = tactical zones (where to actually trade inside that terrain).
-Bar colors (climax / initiative / absorption) filtered by 30-day RVWAP = timing + confirmation at those levels, favoring the side that has trend and effort behind it.
So the indicator, used this way, becomes:
-one instance to tell you where the big war is being fought (12M)
-one instance to tell you where the current campaign inside that war is concentrated (3M)
-bar colors to tell you whether the team you want to back is actually showing up with size when price hits those levels.
OutsiderEdge – Node Breach Engine (NBE)Overview – What is the Node Breach Engine (NBE)?
NBE is a swing/session volume-profile engine that builds profiles between pivots (or per session), tracks closed & developing POC, and prints breach signals when price challenges the control node. It quantifies node strength, buy/sell composition (CVD) at the POC and the entire profile, Value Area levels (VAH/VAL), VWAP distance, time at price, and introduces a PoV (Point of Void; the LVN located inside the Value Area): to highlight low-participation corridors where rotations or rejections often form. A lightweight EMA smoothed trend can optionally filter signals by prevailing bias.
Use it to answer fast: How strong is this node? Is the profile buy- or sell-led? Are we accepting/rejecting control? Is the developing POC migrating? Is the VA’s LVN (PoV) about to rotate back to POC or reject?
🔹 FEATURES
Volume Profile Core (Swing or Session)
Build pivot-to-pivot or session profiles with configurable row density and Value Area %.
Draw VAH/VAL with optional VA fill and optional profile window background.
Control Node (POC) – Closed & Developing
Closed POC highlighted on finished windows.
Developing POC path stitched bar-by-bar on the active segment (visual migration of control).
Optional POC row highlight and extend-until-touch behavior.
PoV – Point of Void
Detects the lowest-volume row within the current VA band (between VAL and VAH).
Plots a PoV anchor/line you can use as a rotation target or rejection boundary:
Rotations: VAH ↔ PoV (LVN) ↔ POC ↔ VAL.
Rejections: Thin participation at PoV often flips acceptance back toward POC.
Works alongside POC/VA to map acceptance vs. rejection with finer granularity than a single control node.
Node Context Tooltip (Deep Dive)
Compact tooltips on closed profiles: POC price, Node Strength % (POC/Total), CVD split (Buy%/Sell%), VWAP distance %, bars at price.
Profile Buy/Sell Overview (Stacked Bars)
Two stacked horizontal bars (Buy ▲ / Sell ▼) whose width matches the histogram and thickness is configurable.
Auto-placed above or below the profile using swing H/L logic.
Available for closed and developing profiles.
CVD at POC and Full-Profile
Quick labels for Buy% / Sell% at the POC.
Stacked bars summarize full-profile pressure at a glance.
Trend Context
Gradient EMA base vs. smoothed EMA wave for bull/bear bias.
Filter signals to trend direction (only ▲ in uptrend, only ▼ in downtrend).
Breach Signals with Practical Filters
Signals print when price touches/rejects the POC.
Filters: rejection close, ATR momentum guard, wick confirmation, ± margin tolerance, session time filter.
One-shot per bar; coded with object-limit hygiene.
Swing % Change Labels
Small labels at swing H/L showing % move across the last swing window.
Alerts
POC Breach Signal alert for automation/notifications.
🔹 USAGE
In the examples below, you see chart snapshot with labeled alerts/points of POV and POC rejections.
1 — Bearish POC Rejection (▼)
Price tags POC and closes below; ATR guard; EMA wave is bearish. Treat as trend-aligned continuation, reversals or risk tighten on longs.
2 — Bearish POV (LVN) Rejection (▼)
Price probes POV and fails to accept; low participation at PoV flips acceptance. Useful for rotation setups or partials.
3 — Bullish POV Rejection (▲)
Price tags POV and closes above; ATR guard; EMA wave is bullish. Treat as trend-aligned continuation, reversals or risk tighten on shorts.
Treat every signal as context, not as a command. The edge comes from combining location (POC/VA/PoV) with pressure (Node Strength/CVD/VWAP distance) and your structure/timing rules.
🔹 NAVIGATING MARKET CONDITIONS
Trending markets
Expect POC drift with trend; breaches tend to follow-through. Favor trend-aligned breaches; use PoV and VA for add/trim decisions.
Ranges
Frequent VA rotations VAH ↔ PoV ↔ POC ↔ VAL. Fades can work with tight invalidation; lean on PoV to avoid fighting acceptance near POC.
Regime shifts
Repeated failed breaches, PoV rejections, and developing POC re-anchoring are early tells. Adjust filters (ATR guard, wick) and window density as volatility changes.
🔹 SETTINGS SUMMARY
Profile Type: Swing / Session
Window: Present (developing) or Closed Profiles
Rows, lookback cap, Value Area %, optional background
Show POC (closed/developing), POC row highlight
VAH/VAL visibility, optional VA fill
Enable PoV detection (LVN inside VA).
Style controls; optional display with VA/POC.
Rejection close, ATR × multiplier, Wick % threshold, ± Margin %, Session time (trade inside/skip inside)
Enable EMA wave; lengths & smoothing
Toggle CVD; thickness (rows); colors; label text
Swing % change, tooltips, color controls
POC and POV Breach Alerts
🔹 GOOD PRACTICES
Think location + pressure: POC/VA/POV (where) × Node Strength/CVD/VWAP distance (how strong).
Align with HTF structure and liquidity; let POC/POV/VA act as decision levels (initiate, add, reduce, invalidate).
Calibrate row density per symbol/TF; too coarse = blind spots, too fine = noise.
Keep filters honest—if you must loosen them to force a trade, the setup isn’t there.
🔹 LIMITATIONS / DISCLAIMER
NBE does not use lookahead and does not repaint, but no indicator guarantees outcomes.
Node Strength, CVD, PoV, and thresholds are contextual, not signals on their own.
Use independent validation, position sizing, and strict risk management.
Trading involves substantial risk. This tool is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and risk management.

Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile is a smart-flow liquidity tracker that maps where stop-loss clusters and resting limit orders are likely positioned.
Instead of traditional volume profiles based only on executed transactions, this tool projects probable liquidity pools — areas where traders are trapped or positioned and where smart money may hunt stops or fill orders.
It dynamically scans recent price swings, builds liquidity zones above and below price, and visualizes them as a heat map + histogram — highlighting areas with the greatest liquidity attraction.
Orange highlights the highest-concentration liquidity (POC), making potential sweep targets obvious.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Liquidity pools form above swing highs (buy stops) and below swing lows (sell stops).
Market makers & large players often push price into these zones to trigger stops and capture liquidity.
The indicator uses recent volatility + volume expansion to estimate where these pools exist.
Horizontal heat bars show depth and intensity of probable liquidity.
Profile side histogram displays buy-side vs sell-side liquidity distribution.
🔵 FEATURES
Dynamic Liquidity Detection — finds potential stop-loss clusters from recent swing behavior.
Dual-Side Heatmap — split liquidity view above (short stops) and below (long stops) current price.
Volume-Weighted Levels — higher volatility & volume = deeper liquidity expectation.
Real-Time Heat Coloring
• Lime = liquidity below price (potential buy-side fuel)
• Blue = liquidity above price (potential sell-side fuel)
• Orange = peak liquidity (POC)
Liquidity Profile Histogram — plotted at right side, layered by strength.
Auto-Cleaning Engine — removes invalidated liquidity after breaks.
Adjustable lookback window and bin resolution .
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for price moving toward dense liquidity zones — high probability of wick raids or sweeps.
Orange POC often acts as magnet — strong target zone for smart money.
Combine with SFP / BOS logic to time reversals after liquidity hunts.
In trend, price repeatedly sweeps opposite-side liquidity before continuation.
Use liquidity walls as bias filters — heavy liquidity above often precedes downward move, and vice-versa.
Great for scalping sessions, indices, FX, BTC, ETH.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile gives traders a tactical edge by revealing where the market’s hidden liquidity resides.
It highlights where shorts and longs are positioned, identifies likely sweep zones, and marks the most attractive liquidity magnet (POC).
Use it to anticipate stop hunts, avoid getting trapped, and align with smart-money flow instead of fighting it.
Volumetric Spectrogram [by Oberlunar]Volumetric Spectrogram
A two-pole, price-relative volume profiler that turns regional buy/sell pressure into clean oscillators and actionable regimes in a multi-broker setup.
What it measures
The indicator divides the recent price span into bins and accumulates buy vs. sell volume in each bin, then summarises two regions with respect to the current price:
Upper (↑) — volume that traded above the current price (overhead supply/demand).
Lower (↓) — volume that traded below the current price (underfoot bid/pressure).
Per region, it computes BUY% and SELL%, then forms two normalised oscillators in :
Upper Osc = Upper(BUY%) − Upper(SELL%) → positive when overhead offers are being lifted (breakout acceptance), negative when overhead sell pressure dominates (resistance).
Lower Osc = Lower(BUY%) − Lower(SELL%) → positive when sub-price bids strengthen (support/absorption), negative when selling persists beneath price (weak underbelly).
Both oscillators are optionally smoothed with EMA and can be filled to zero or between curves for quick polarity/strength reading.
Candle-fill modes across brokers
The indicator supports multiple candle-fill policies tied to cross-broker volumetric agreement (e.g., spectral/range-only fills when ≥N brokers align above 70% bullish or below 20% bearish Buy%). This makes regime and pressure shifts visually explicit while filtering out unconfirmed noise.
How it works (core algorithm)
Over a lookback window, find the high/low and split the range into N bins .
For each historical bar, approximate “buy” vs “sell” volume using candle direction and the close relative to each bin’s midprice; update left/right profiles per bin.
Aggregate bins above the current price into the Upper region and bins below into the Lower region; compute regional totals and percentages.
Convert to signed oscillators and smooth (EMA length per input).
Scenario engine (table, every bar)
A compact table reports, for Upper/Lower: BUY Vol, SELL Vol, BUY%, SELL%, and Net%. A classifier labels 8 regimes based on oscillator sign and recent expansion/decay: Sync Long/Short (Expanding/Decaying), Opposite Signs (Widening/Converging), and Tilts (Upper/Lower). This helps distinguish trend continuation, fade risk, compression before break, and asymmetric pressure (e.g., “Tilt Lower — bid/support strengthening”).
# Example strategies and annotated cases:
There are different operational strategies:
1) Bottle-neck Strategy with multi-broker confirmation
When both oscillators are red and they compress toward the zero line (a bottle-neck [/i>), if the squeeze does not flip into the opposite trend but instead resolves in the same direction, you have a continuation setup that can be exploited:
• Pattern: both oscillators red → short, visible contraction (narrow, low-variance cluster) → break of the cluster lows → background shadow bars align bearish (multi-broker agreement).
Example:
This sequence often supports a 1.5–2.5 R/R trade, as in:
Bullish mirror
If both oscillators are teal and compress, then expand upward with multi-broker agreement, the scenario becomes bullish after several bars; the position can be profitable with a reasonable risk setup:
Example:
Follow-through:
Here are the additional, English “playbook” examples you can append to the previous description.
2) Dual-confirmation on volume spikes + multi-broker checks
When pronounced volumetric spikes appear (up or down), trend often reverses sharply. In the figure, the circles highlight the spikes; once the spike subsides (reversion toward baseline), the oscillator turns bullish. The double confirmation of two consecutive minimum spikes acts as support for an ensuing up-move, with fill colors confirming direction.
Chart:
Even with a single spike confirmation, the reversion from an extreme often provides actionable long setups.
3) Volume-pressure + regime-change (multi-broker)
A prospective long configuration emerges when bullish volumetric pressure dominates and bearish pressure fades, especially if this occurs after a lateral phase, followed by a bullish volume spike and multi-broker confirmation .
Chart:
Shadow bars subsequently confirm continuation in a bullish regime; however, a possible regime change is flagged by the scenario classifier and by a color flip in the volumetric borders ( “Possible regime change, but without multi-broker confirmation.” is an appropriate label when applicable).
Chart:
After a verified mean-reversion, price transitions into a bearish configuration: both oscillators turn red. One can wait for a pullback and seek short entries.
Chart:
As shown here, the regime change is anticipated well in advance by the oscillators and multi-broker pressure:
Chart:
4) Contrastive regime-shift with multi-broker validation
In a contrastive trading phase, the lower volumetric oscillator flips color first—buyers start attacking. The first set of background shadow bars does not agree with the regime flip; the second set does. This sequence (oscillator flip → later multi-broker agreement) is a robust early sign of a potential long setup.
Chart:
At the multi-broker level, all shadow bars turn fully green and the setup becomes unambiguously bullish.
Chart:
Note that bearish pressure can still be non-trivial on the volumetric scale—even if it does not reach prior extreme minima—so risk controls should reflect the residual supply.
Delta-bar coloring (optional)
Bars (or candle overlays) can be tinted by a multi-venue weighted bias:
Choose venues (OKX, Coinbase, Bybit, Binance, BlackBull…).
Weight by Equal / Last Volume / SMA Volume.
Apply deadband to suppress flicker around neutrality and a gamma curve to modulate opacity with |bias|.
This layer is independent of the spectrogram core but provides immediate market-wide flow context, consistent with the table and fills.
Inputs (essentials)
Calculation Period and Bins — resolution and depth of the price-range histogram.
EMA length — smoothing per oscillator (optional)
Fill options — to zero / between curves, gradual opacity by |osc|, min/max alpha.
Delta Bar — enable tinting, gamma, neutral band; venue list and weighting mode.
Reading guide
Upper > 0 & expanding : overhead supply is being lifted → breakout acceptance risk rises.
Lower > 0 & expanding : sub-price bids strengthen → pullbacks more likely to absorb.
Opposite signs widening : tug-of-war; avoid late entries.
Converging : compression → prepare for break.
Use the table’s regime label to keep the narrative honest bar-by-bar.
Notes & limits
Buy/Sell attribution uses candle direction and range partitioning (no L2/tick tape).
Venue aggregation relies on per-exchange volume and your chosen weighting; symbols must align (e.g., BTCUSDT pairs).
Oscillators are relative to the current price (regional) by design; they complement, not replace, classical volume profile.

Delta Arbitrage [by Oberlunar]Delta Arbitrage turns fragmented exchange activity into a single, readable pulse. Each broker breathes at its own rhythm; this tool measures the share of “buy vs. sell” participation per broker, weights those brokers by liquidity/activity, and blends them into one continuous bias. The result is a chart you can read in seconds: aqua when buy-side dominates, red when sell-side does—stronger shades for stronger imbalances.
Delta Arbitrage indicator supports several ways to colour candles based on the aggregated, cross-venue delta, so you can match visual feedback to the strength/consensus of flow.
Examples
LONG opportunity — broad bullish agreement (>70% weighted Buy%)
In this case, a LONG setup formed because a high proportion of brokers simultaneously pushed bullish volumetric deltas (>70%).
The corridor then stayed positive across multiple bars, with sustained long strength in agreement across venues:
Follow-through:
SHORT opportunity — broad bearish agreement (<20% weighted Buy%)
Here, a SHORT setup formed because a high proportion of brokers simultaneously pushed bearish volumetric deltas (<20%).
The corridor remained negative over several bars, showing high-intensity short pressure in cross-venue agreement:
Follow-through:
Spectral mode
You can enable the spectral mode, where range candles are colored only when multiple brokers are in volumetric agreement. You’ll see bullish pressure when weighted Buy% exceeds ~70%; when direction changes, range candles fade out and the lower tiles flip red to reflect rising short pressure.
Example:
How it’s built (in plain words)
For every selected broker, the script computes a robust Buy% over a rolling window and maps it to a signed bias (−1…+1).
Venues are then combined with flexible weighting—Equal, Last Volume, SMA Volume, or Relative-to-SMA—to emphasise who is active now .
A small neutral band near zero calms noise; an intensity curve (gamma) makes strong pushes visually obvious without overshooting weak ones.
What you see
Tinted bars/background : the aggregate bias colours the chart so the prevailing side is instantly clear.
Dashboard : a compact meter for each venue (SELL⇄BUY), its normalised weight, and exact Buy%/bias, plus a summary line for the weighted & unweighted aggregates. It shows whether one venue is dragging the whole market or if participation is broad.
Lower panel (timeline) : a tile-per-bar strip using the same bias logic. Long, saturated runs = sustained participation; choppy, desaturated tiles around zero = balance/compression. The strip’s height is fixed vs. a recent range, so it remains legible on any zoom.
How to act on it (minimal, auditable rules)
Entries: a one-shot arrow when the weighted Buy% crosses a high/low threshold (e.g., >70 for longs, <30 for shorts).
Exits: trail the indicator itself—close when the weighted Buy% retraces by a set number of points from its peak (long) or trough (short).
Context: prefer entries that align with a fresh, persistent run in the lower strip and supportive rows in the dashboard; fade/exit when the strip desaturates or flips.
Do not operate when the average volumetric pressure (avg) is around 50% +- 15%
Why it matters
This is not tick-level microstructure; it’s a fast, stable cross-venue proxy designed for operational use on any timeframe. By unifying “who’s in charge, for how long, and how strongly,” the indicator reduces discretionary noise and turns participation into a tradable, testable context.

Project Pegasus SideMap • VRP Heatmap • Volume Node DetectionDescription CME_MINI:NQ1!
Project Pegasus – Volume SideMap V 1.0 builds a right-anchored horizontal volume heatmap silhouette, visualizing buy/sell participation per price level over any chosen lookback or visible range. It automatically detects Low-Volume Nodes (LVN), Medium-Volume Nodes (MVN), and High-Volume Nodes (HVN), while also marking Top Volume Peaks, POI Lines (Most-Touched Levels), and complete Value Area Levels (POC / VAH / VAL) including optional session highs/lows.
What’s Unique
Right-Fixed Rendering – All profile rows are anchored to the chart’s right edge, creating a consistent visual reference during live trading.
Gap-Free Silhouette – Each price row blends seamlessly with its neighbors, producing a clean and continuous volume shape.
Triple-Tier Node Detection (LVN / MVN / HVN) – Automatically highlights zones of rejection, transition, and acceptance based on relative volume strength.
Dynamic Binning System – Adapts to price range and lookback while preserving proportional per-row volume distribution.
POI Finder (Most Touches) – Highlights price rows that have been touched most frequently by bars (traffic clusters).
Top-N Peaks – Sorts and draws the strongest single-price clusters by total volume while respecting minimum spacing.
Integrated Value Area Metrics – Calculates and plots POC, VAH, and VAL with optional session High/Low markers.
Color Modes – Choose between heatmap intensity (volume-based) or buy/sell ratio blending for directional context.
Performance Optimized – Rebuilds only when structure changes, ensuring smooth operation even with large histories.
Technical Overview
1. Binning & Aggregation
The full price range is divided into a user-defined number of rows (bins) of equal height.
For each bar, traded volume is distributed across all intersecting bins proportionally to price overlap.
A buy/sell proxy is estimated based on candle close position, producing per-row Buy, Sell, and Total Volume arrays.
2. Silhouette Rendering
Each row’s strength = total volume ÷ maximum volume.
Two color modes:
• Volume Mode → intensity scales by relative volume (heatmap).
• Ratio Mode → blend between sell and buy base colors based on dominance (close position).
Weak or neutral rows can be faded or forced to minimum width via strength and ratio-deviation filters.
3. Node Detection (LVN / MVN / HVN)
Relative bands are defined by lower/upper % thresholds.
Consecutive rows meeting criteria are grouped into “bands.”
Optional gap-merge unifies nearby bands separated by small gaps (in ticks).
Quality filters:
• Min. Average in Band (%) → enforces minimum average participation.
• Min. Prominence vs. Neighbors (%) → compares contrast against adjacent volume peaks.
Enforces minimum center distance (in ticks) to prevent overlap.
Each valid band draws a Top/Bottom line pair and optional mid-label (LVN/MVN/HVN).
4. Volume Peaks
Ranks all rows by total volume (descending) and selects top N peaks with spacing filters.
Drawn as horizontal lines or labeled markers (P1, P2, etc.).
5. POI Lines (Most Touches)
During aggregation, each row counts how many bars overlap it.
The top X rows with highest touch counts are drawn as POI lines—often strong participation or mean-retest zones.
6. Value Area (POC / VAH / VAL)
POC = row with highest total volume.
Expands outward symmetrically until the configured Value Area % of total volume is covered.
VAH and VAL mark the acceptance range; optional High/Low lines outline total range boundaries.
7. Right-Fix Layout
All components are rendered relative to the chart’s rightmost bar.
Width dynamically scales with visible bars × % width setting, ensuring proportional scaling across zoom levels.
How to Use
Read market structure:
HVNs = high acceptance or balance areas → likely mean-reversion zones.
LVNs = thin participation → breakout or rejection points (“air pockets”).
MVNs = transition areas between acceptance and rejection.
Trade around POC / VAH / VAL:
These levels represent fair-value boundaries and rotational pivots.
POI & Peaks:
Use them as strong reference lines for responsive trading decisions.
Ratio-Color Mode:
Exposes directional imbalance and potential absorption zones visually.
Best practice:
Live trading → right-fix active, moderate row count.
Post-session analysis → higher granularity, LVN/HVN/MVN and peaks enabled with labels.

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.
Bull/Bear Shift – Separate bullish and bearish volume.
Buckets – Number of price levels.
Choose from templates or set custom colors.
POC Gradient option makes high volume bolder, low volume lighter.

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.
BuySell Volume Bar Chart• Separates estimated Buy and Sell volume per bar using price action logic
• Plots them in a dual-axis format: buy volume goes up, sell volume goes down
• Colors are dynamic — whichever side dominates gets the stronger color, the weaker side is shaded
• Includes a live difference metric (Δ Volume) as a third value in the indicator title
• Automatically filters out flat/no-move bars to avoid misleading spikes
The live difference metric ("Δ Volume") can be controlled.
This metric calculates the difference between the buying and selling volume live, where it takes the Buy Volume - Sell Volume.
This difference is then displayed in either green (BV > SV) or red (SV > BV). You can toggle it on/off by entering the indicator's settings or double tapping the indicator name on the TV chart.
Another pretty cool thing is the modular colors - you can customize your candle colors and shades to your liking within the code!
Delta Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵Delta Volume Profile
A dynamic volume analysis tool that builds two separate horizontal profiles: one for bullish candles and one for bearish candles. This indicator helps traders identify the true balance of buying vs. selling volume across price levels, highlighting points of control (POCs), delta dominance, and hidden volume clusters with remarkable precision.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Split Volume Profiles (Bull vs. Bear):
The indicator separates volume based on candle direction:
If close > open , the candle’s volume is added to the bullish profile (positive volume).
If close < open , it contributes to the bearish profile (negative volume).
ATR-Based Binning:
The price range over the selected lookback is split into bins using ATR(200) as the bin height.
Each bin accumulates both bull and bear volumes to form the dual-sided profile.
Bull and Bear Volume Bars:
Bullish volumes are shown as right-facing bars on the right side, colored with a bullish gradient.
Bearish volumes appear as left-facing bars on the left side, shaded with a bearish gradient.
Each bar includes a volume label (e.g., +12.45K or -9.33K) to show exact volume at that price level.
Points of Control (POC) Highlighting:
The bin with the highest bullish volume is marked with a border in POC+ color (default: blue).
The bin with the highest bearish volume is marked with a POC− color (default: orange).
Total Volume Density Map:
A neutral gray background box is plotted behind candles showing the total volume (bull + bear) per bin.
This reveals high-interest price zones regardless of direction.
Delta and Total Volume Summary:
A Delta label appears at the top, showing net % difference between bull and bear volume.
A Total label at the bottom shows total accumulated volume across all bins.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator captures all candles within the lookback period .
It calculates the price range and splits it into bins using ATR for adaptive resolution.
For each candle:
If price intersects a bin and close > open , volume is added to the positive profile .
If close < open , volume is added to the negative profile .
The result is two side-by-side histograms at each price level—one for buyers, one for sellers.
The bin with the highest value on each side is visually emphasized using POC highlight colors.
At the end, the script calculates:
Delta: Total % difference between bull and bear volumes.
Total: Sum of all volumes in the lookback window.
🔵 USAGE
Volume Imbalance Zones: Identify price levels where buyers or sellers were clearly dominant.
Fade or Follow Volume Clusters: Use POC+ or POC− levels for reaction trades or breakouts.
Delta Strength Filtering: Strong delta values (> ±20%) suggest momentum or exhaustion setups.
Volume-Based Anchoring: Use profile levels to mark hidden support/resistance and execution zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Delta Volume Profile offers a unique advantage in market reading by separating buyer and seller activity into two visual layers. This allows traders to not only spot where volume was high, but also who was more aggressive. Whether you’re analyzing trend continuations, reversals, or absorption levels, this indicator gives you the transparency needed to trade with confidence.

Multi-Layer Volume Profile [BigBeluga]A powerful multi-resolution volume analysis tool that stacks multiple profiles of historical trading activity to reveal true market structure.
This indicator breaks down total and delta volume distribution across time at four adjustable depths — enabling traders to spot major POCs, volume shelves, and zones of price acceptance or rejection with unmatched clarity.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Multi-Layer Volume Profiles:
Up to 4 separate volume profiles are stacked on the chart:
- Profile 1: Full period
- Profile 2: Half-length
- Profile 3: Quarter-length
- Profile 4: One-eighth-length
This layering helps traders assess confluence across different time horizons.
Custom Bin Resolution:
Each profile uses a customizable number of bins to control visual precision.
More bins = higher granularity, fewer bins = smoother profile.
Precise POC Highlighting:
The price level with the maximum traded volume in each profile is highlighted with a thick blue POC line.
This key level shows the most accepted price for each period.
Total and Delta Volume Labels:
- Total Volume: Displays cumulative volume over the profile period at the top of the profile box.
- Delta Volume: The difference between bullish and bearish volume is labeled at the base, showing directional pressure.
Positive delta = buyer dominance, negative delta = seller dominance.
Range Levels:
Each profile includes horizontal reference lines showing its high, low, bounds.
These edges often align with price reaction zones and become future resistance/support.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
For each active profile, the indicator:
- Collects price range (highs/lows) across the selected `length`
- Divides this range into equal bins
- Assigns volume into bins based on candle close location
- Aggregates volume per bin to form the profile (polylines)
Separately tracks:
- Total volume (sum of all candles in range)
- Delta volume (sum of candle volumes: positive for bullish, negative for bearish closes)
Highlights the bin with maximum volume (POC)
and marks it with a thick blue line.
Adds auxiliary lines for high/low of each profile box
and total/delta volume tags with tooltips.
🔵 USAGE
Spot Acceptance Zones:
Thick, flat areas on the profile show where price stayed longest — ideal for building positions.
Identify Rejection Zones:
Thin volume areas signal price rejection and are often used for stop placement or entries.
Delta Confirmation:
Use strong positive/negative delta readings as directional bias confirmation for breakout trades.
Confluence Detection:
Watch for overlapping POCs between layers to identify extremely strong support/resistance zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Multi-Layer Volume Profile equips traders with a deeply layered market structure view.
Whether you're scalping intraday levels or analyzing macro support zones, the ability to stack volume perspectives, visualize directional delta, and anchor POCs provides an edge in anticipating market moves.
Use this tool to validate entries, confirm structure, and make more informed, volume-aware trading decisions.
Volume Range Map [BigBeluga]This volume-based tool identifies the highest and lowest price extremes within a lookback period and constructs two dynamic range zones. Each zone is filled with horizontal volume profiles that visualize the distribution of traded volume across price bins, helping traders pinpoint key areas of accumulation and distribution.
🔵Key Features:
Dynamic High/Low Zones:
➣ Automatically detects the highest and lowest price levels within a custom lookback window.
➣ Draws two shaded zones: one near the high and one near the low, representing potential supply and demand areas.
Volume Profiles per Zone:
➣ Each zone is filled with a volume profile histogram divided into bins.
➣ The length of each horizontal bar represents the relative volume traded at that price level.
➣ Bins collectively account for 100% of the zone’s volume.
POC Highlighting:
➣ The price bin with the highest volume is marked as the Point of Control (POC), along with a label showing its share of total volume in percentage.
➣ A dashed line is drawn at the middle level of the zone.
Customizable Display:
➣ Traders can adjust the number of bins, zone width, and toggle midline visibility to match their strategy needs.
➣ Colors of upper and lower volume zones are fully customizable.
🔵Usage:
Supply/Demand Analysis: Use upper/lower volume zones to find key reversal or continuation areas where market participants were most active.
Volume Confirmation: Confirm breakout or rejection trades by watching how price reacts to high-volume areas inside each zone.
POC Strategy: Treat POC levels as magnet zones — price tends to revisit them due to high liquidity.
Trade Planning: Use volume-weighted levels instead of raw price action to plan entries, stop-losses, and targets.
Volume Range Map offers a clean and powerful way to analyze volume distribution at price extremes. By combining precise volume histograms, POC highlights, and adaptive zone drawing, it brings market structure into sharper focus for range and breakout traders alike.
Volume Profile [ActiveQuants]The Volume Profile indicator visualizes the distribution of trading volume across price levels over a user-defined historical period. It identifies key liquidity zones, including the Point of Control (POC) (price level with the highest volume) and the Value Area (price range containing a specified percentage of total volume). This tool is ideal for traders analyzing support/resistance levels, market sentiment , and potential price reversals .
█ CORE METHODOLOGY
Vertical Price Rows: Divides the price range of the selected lookback period into equal-height rows.
Volume Aggregation: Accumulates bullish/bearish or total volume within each price row.
POC: The row with the highest total volume.
Value Area: Expands from the POC until cumulative volume meets the user-defined threshold (e.g., 70%).
Dynamic Visualization: Rows are plotted as horizontal boxes with widths proportional to their volume.
█ KEY FEATURES
- Customizable Lookback & Resolution
Adjust the historical period ( Lookback ) and granularity ( Number of Rows ) for precise analysis.
- Configurable Profile Width & Horizontal Offset
Control the relative horizontal length of the profile rows, and set the distance from the current bar to the POC row’s anchor.
Important: Do not set the horizontal offset too high. Indicators cannot be plotted more than 500 bars into the future.
- Value Area & POC Highlighting
Set the percentage of total volume required to form the Value Area , ensuring that key volume levels are clearly identified.
Value Area rows are colored distinctly, while the POC is marked with a bold line.
- Flexible Display Options
Show bullish/bearish volume splits or total volume.
Place the profile on the right or left of the chart.
- Gradient Coloring
Rows fade in color intensity based on their relative volume strength .
- Real-Time Adjustments
Modify horizontal offset, profile width, and appearance without reloading.

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

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

Draw Full Candle Boxes – display full candle height or a partial range
Legend Visibility & Positioning – control placement of the heatmap legend
Exponential Color Model – choose between logarithmic and linear volume representation
Max Transparency Settings – adjust visibility of older zones
Number of Heatmap Colors – set the gradient sensitivity
3. Data Optimization Settings
Lookback Period – define how many bars are analyzed for volume normalization
Max Box Display – limit the number of displayed volume zones
Data Saver Mode – increase range at the expense of detail
Minimum Volume Threshold – filter out insignificant volume clusters

Volume Zones Internal Visualizer [LuxAlgo]The Volume Zones Internal Visualizer is an alternate candle type intended to reveal lower timeframe volume activity while on a higher timeframe chart.
It displays the candle's range, the highest and lowest zones of accumulated volume throughout the candle, and the Lower Timeframe (LTF) candle close, which contained the most volume in the session (Candle Session).
🔶 USAGE
The indicator is intended to be used as its own independent candle type. It is not a replacement for traditional candlesticks; however, it is recommended that you hide the chart's display when using this indicator. Another option is to display this indicator in an additional pane alongside the normal chart, as displayed above.
The display consists of candle ranges represented by outlined boxes, within the ranges you will notice a transparent-colored zone, a solid-colored zone, and a line.
Each of these displays different points of volume-related information from an analysis of LTF data.
In addition to this analysis, the indicator also locates the LTF candle with the highest volume, and displays its close represented by the line. This line is considered as the "Peak Activity Level" (PAL), since throughout the (HTF) candle session, this candle's close is the outcome of the most volume transacted at the time.
We are further tracking these PALs by continuing to extend them into the future, looking towards them for potential further interaction. Once a PAL is crossed, we are removing it from display as it has been mitigated.
🔶 DETAILS
The indicator aggregates the volume data from each LTF candle and creates a volume profile from it; the number of rows in the profile is determined by the "Row Size" setting.
With this profile, it locates and displays the highest (solid area) and lowest (transparent area) volume zones from the profile created.
🔶 SETTINGS
Row Size: Sets the number of rows used for the calculation of the volume profile based on LTF data.
Intrabar Timeframe: Sets the Lower Timeframe to use for calculations.
Show Last Unmitigated PALs: Choose how many Unmitigated PALs to extend.
Style: Toggle on and off features, as well as adjust colors for each.
IQ Zones [TradingIQ]Hey Traders!
Introducing "IQ Zones".
"IQ Zones" is an indicator that combines support and resistance identification with volume, the "value area" of a candlestick to be exact. IQ Zones identifies turning points in the market; however, the candlestick high or low that formed the key turning point is not necessarily distinguished as the support/resistance area. Instead, the script looks into the bar at lower timeframes and calculates the value area of the candlestick that formed the support or resistance level. Therefore, any lines protruding from a candlestick reflect the value area of that candlestick. These levels (value area high and value area low) are marked on the candlestick as a support/resistance level. If the level formed on high volume it's marked as an "IQ Zone".
Additionally, IQ Zones presents a heat map to show volume intensity at nearby price areas. The heatmap is a product of the Volume Profile (IQ Profile) located on the right of the chart.
The IQ Profile is a segmented volume profile. Recent price is split into fifths (customizable), and individual volume profiles are calculated for all segmented price areas. Price is split into more than one segment to avoid a situation where volume in a ranging price zone far surpasses all other recent price areas - creating an "unusable" volume profile that doesn't offer helpful insights. If desired, you can set the segmenting option to "1" to calculate one unified volume profile for the entire price range.
The image above shows IQ Zones in action!
Core Features of IQ Zones
Value Area Support and Resistance Levels
Segmented volume profile for the recent trading period
Volume intensity heatmap
Support and resistance levels in high volume intensity may be more significant as price stoppers
The image above explains the labels marked along the y-axis of the IQ Profile.
The "more green" a price area/label is, the higher the volume intensity at the marked support/resistance area.
The image above further explains line lines protruding from the IQ Profile.
For this example, the value area of the candlestick (where most trading action occurred) is quite far from the high price of the candlestick that formed a resistance level! Using the value area of a candlestick that marks a key turning point to draw support/resistance offers insight into where the majority of trading action took place when the support/resistance level was forming!
Additionally, you can hover your mouse over the IQ Zone labels (triangles pointing up or down) to see the prices of the value area for the support/resistance level, including the total buying volume and total selling volume at the price area!
The image above further explains the IQ Profile!
You can segment the recent price area anywhere from 1 - 15 times.
The image above further explains IQ Zones and the IQ Profile!
That will be all for this indicator - a fun project to share with the community.
Thank you!
