Rolling VWAP + Volume Profile by Flip On DipRolling VWAP + Volume Profile draws a volume weighted average over a moving window of trading days, and a separate volume profile for each of the last few sessions.
🔁 The VWAP here is not anchored. Instead of resetting at the open it holds a sliding window of the last N sessions, so the line carries through the open and over the weekend without jumping. Two deviation bands sit either side, built from the volume weighted standard deviation rather than a plain one, so they widen when size trades away from the mean instead of just following range.
🕐 Session length is measured off the chart rather than assumed. A 6.5 hour stock day, a 23 hour gold day and a 24 hour crypto day all count as one day, so a 7 day window really is seven sessions on any symbol at any timeframe.
📊 Each session gets its own profile, built from a candle step you set. That step is independent of your chart, so the same 5m profile shows up whether you're looking at a 1m or a 1h chart and switching timeframes won't change the shape. Volume from each candle is spread across every level it touches, weighted by how much of the candle's range falls inside each one, instead of being dumped at the close. Point of control and value area are marked, and the session in progress rebuilds as it fills.
On that last point, worth being clear about what moves and what doesn't. The session in progress is live and will keep changing until it closes, roughly once a minute as volume comes in. That's the whole idea of a developing profile. Once a session ends its profile is drawn once and never touched again, so nothing behind you shifts around. The VWAP behaves the same way: it updates on the current bar like any average does, and past values stay where they were.
Two horizons. Micro gives daily profiles with a week long VWAP, Macro switches to weekly profiles with a fortnight long VWAP across a longer stretch of history. Each one keeps its own settings, so flipping between them doesn't cost you your tuning.
⚠️ Not every ticker reports real volume, and that changes what a profile means. Spot gold, most FX and index feeds publish nothing at all, while forex and CFD tickers that do publish are usually counting ticks rather than contracts. The indicator checks and tells you which one you're on. Where there's no volume it falls back to counting time spent at each price, which is still a useful map of where the market lingered, and the panel says so rather than leaving you to work out why the shape looks odd.
The panel in the corner handles the rest of it. Active horizon, VWAP window, profile step, and whether volume on this ticker is traded, tick only or missing. If something is quietly limiting the drawing, the chart timeframe being wrong for the horizon, the 500 box platform limit, not enough history loaded for the window you asked for, it writes it out in plain words with what to change.
There's also an optional fixed step for the VWAP itself, which makes the line identical on every timeframe. Off by default, since the chart bars are what most people expect.
⚡ Nothing is calculated outside the visible window, and every box and line is allocated once and reused instead of being deleted and redrawn, so panning around stays smooth even on long intraday history.
Three colour presets, Default, Light and Dark, or Custom to set every colour and transparency yourself. Row spacing and width, gradients, borders, POC and VAH/VAL lines, the 3D shadow, price labels and the panel are all configurable.

Volume Profile Anchored VWAP, AVWAP Bands & Deviation [LunqFX]Most anchored VWAP tools make you drag the anchor by hand, and it goes stale the moment structure changes. This one places the anchor automatically at confirmed swing pivots, wraps it in volume weighted standard deviation bands, hangs the leg's volume profile off the right edge, and then measures whether those bands are being respected on the symbol in front of you.
The annotated charts below explain the script's output element by element.
❶ AUTO ANCHORED VWAP
An anchored VWAP is only meaningful from a point that mattered. Anchor it at an arbitrary bar and it describes nothing; anchor it where the market last turned and it becomes the average price everyone trading THIS leg is carrying — which is exactly the level they defend.
The anchor is placed at confirmed swing pivots, with two guards that matter more than they sound:
▸ MINIMUM LEG — a fresh pivot cannot take over until the running leg has had room to form. Without that rule a cluster of pivots chops the curve into stubs and the VWAP never describes anything. ▸ MAXIMUM LEG — a leg that outlives its usefulness resets rather than growing into a whole-history average.
Session, weekly and monthly anchors are available for traders who prefer calendar anchoring.
❷ STANDARD DEVIATION BANDS
Around the anchored VWAP the script draws volume weighted standard deviation bands at three depths, filled as a gradient so distance from fair value is readable without measuring. Three details make them behave:
▸ WARM-UP — at the anchor the deviation is zero by definition, so the first bars of every leg would draw as a collapsing funnel. Those bars are still measured; they are simply not drawn. ▸ MINIMUM WIDTH — an ATR floor stops the bands pinching shut during dead stretches. ▸ DISPLAY SMOOTHING — the deviation path is box-filtered for drawing only. The VWAP itself and every statistic use the raw values, so nothing you act on is smoothed.
❸ VOLUME FLOW
Each bar's participation is drawn as fine texture reaching inward from the band edges: buy pressure rises from the lower edge, sell pressure falls from the upper one, split by where the bar closed inside its own range. The bands are the baseline, so the leg's pressure reads along the structure instead of on a separate pane.
❹ VOLUME PROFILE OF THE LEG
At the right edge the script hangs the volume distribution of the whole leg, split buy against sell, with a seam line at the join and a traced outline. Each bar is binned against its OWN slice of the channel rather than a fixed price grid, so a sloping leg does not smear the distribution — a detail most profile overlays skip, and the reason the shape stays honest on a trending market.
❺ BAND REACTION STATISTICS
Bands tell you where price is. They do not tell you what that has meant here. So the script measures it: for every touch of the chosen band inside the current leg it checks whether price returned to the VWAP within your window, and reports the share that did, together with the number of touches.
That single number changes how the same picture is read. A leg where touches of the upper band came back to VWAP most of the time is mean-reverting, and the band is a fade. A leg where they did not is trending, and the same touch is continuation. Samples too small to conclude anything from are marked with a tilde rather than presented as a result.
❻ WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CHART
▸ Dashed vertical line with the ANCHOR badge — where the current leg begins. ▸ Three teal bands below and three red bands above, filled as a gradient — deviation depth from the VWAP. ▸ Dark line through the middle — the anchored VWAP itself. ▸ Fine ticks along the band edges — per-bar buy and sell participation. ▸ Horizontal rows at the right edge — the leg's volume profile, teal for buy, red for sell. ▸ Panel — side of the VWAP, distance in σ with a position ruler, the VWAP and band levels, and the reaction statistics.
❼ HOW TO TRADE IT
1 — Read the header. Above or below the anchored VWAP is the leg's bias; the σ figure is how stretched price is right now. 2 — Check the reaction row before deciding what a band touch means. High return rate means the bands are fades. Low return rate means they are continuation. 3 — Use the VWAP as the leg's fair value. Pullbacks into it in the direction of the leg are the cleanest entries this tool produces. 4 — Use the volume profile to find where the leg actually traded. Thin rows are areas price passed through quickly and tends to pass through quickly again. 5 — Watch the anchor. A new anchor means structure turned and the previous leg's levels stopped applying.
❽ NON-REPAINTING
This is the part that separates an anchored VWAP from a rolling regression channel, and it is worth being precise about. The anchor is a CONFIRMED pivot and only ever moves forward. A VWAP is cumulative, so once a bar closes its contribution to the average is fixed forever — every band value already printed stays exactly where it is. Nothing is recalculated behind you. Every statistic is built from closed bars only.
SETTINGS
▸ Anchor — anchor mode (swing pivot, session, week, month), pivot length, minimum and maximum leg. ▸ Bands — three deviation depths, warm-up bars hidden, minimum width in ATR, display smoothing, gradient fill and VWAP line toggles. ▸ Volume Flow — texture height in ATR and thickness. ▸ Volume Profile — rows, width, thickness, seam and outline toggle. ▸ Band Reaction — which band counts as a touch, the reaction window, optional touch markers. ▸ Visuals — candle colouring, anchor marker, dashboard position.
ALERTS — upper band touch, lower band touch, VWAP reclaimed, VWAP lost, and new anchor. All fire on closed bars only.
WHY THESE PARTS ARE ONE SCRIPT
They describe one object at four resolutions. The anchor defines the leg; the standard deviation bands measure dispersion inside it; the flow and the volume profile show where its volume actually went; and the reaction statistics say whether that structure is being respected. Take the anchor away and the VWAP averages a period nobody traded as a unit. Take the profile away and the bands float above an unknown distribution. Take the statistics away and the bands become decoration you have to interpret by feel. None of them stands alone, which is why they ship together.
Works on any symbol with volume — forex, metals, indices, crypto and stocks — on intraday and higher timeframes alike. Symbols without real volume data will report a flat profile.
This indicator is an educational market-analysis tool, not financial advice. The reaction statistics describe the recorded historical behaviour of the current leg on the loaded chart; past behaviour does not predict future results.

Volume Profile Session EditionThe native PulseWire Volume Profile does not work on CFD/OTC
brokers like EasyMarkets, OANDA, Pepperstone, and others — because
these feeds provide zero or no real volume data.
This indicator solves that problem by automatically fetching volume
from a liquid proxy symbol that matches your chart instrument.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator detects your chart symbol and automatically selects
a real-volume proxy from a regulated exchange:
- (60+ instruments mapped automatically)
If no proxy is found, it falls back to bar range (High–Low) so
the profile always renders regardless of the instrument.

WHAT YOU GET
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔷 Session Volume Profile
A classic histogram anchored to each trading session. Bars are
split into bullish (up) and bearish (down) volume side by side.
The Value Area is highlighted in separate colors for quick reading.
🔷 POC — Point of Control
The price level with the highest traded volume in the session.
Extends to the right edge of the chart on the current session.
🔷 VAH / VAL — Value Area High & Low
Upper and lower boundaries of the configurable Value Area
(default 70% of total volume).
🔷 Info Panel

Liquidity HeatmapLiquidity Heatmap – POC and Value Area.
A rolling volume-density profile rendered directly onto the price chart. Over a configurable lookback window the indicator distributes each historical bar's volume across every price bin its high-low range covered, then draws the resulting distribution as color-graded horizontal lines at each bin's midpoint. Point of Control and Value Area (70 % of total volume) are computed automatically, and a compact right-side histogram mirrors the profile in the future-offset zone. Built for intraday and swing traders who want a live, minimal read of where the market actually did business — the real liquidity anchors, not manual pivots.
How it works:
The indicator recalculates every N bars (default 5). On each recalc it finds the highest and lowest price of the lookback window, splits that range into a configurable number of bins (default 40), and iterates through every bar in the window. For each bar its volume — or a unit weight if volume weighting is disabled — is added to every bin whose price range the bar crossed. The result is a density array: the more time price stayed inside a bin and the higher the volume of those bars, the larger its density value. Bins are drawn as thin horizontal lines at their midpoints, with color and transparency scaled by the ratio of bin density to peak density.
The Point of Control is the bin with the largest total. Value Area is grown outward from POC, alternately taking whichever adjacent side holds more volume, until 70 % of the entire distribution is covered — VAH becomes the upper boundary of that region and VAL the lower. A right-side density histogram in the chart's offset zone re-renders the same profile in bar-chart form, and the level labels (POC / VAH / VAL) sit past the histogram so they never overlap the main heatmap. The information panel in the top-right corner shows the numeric price of each level and its signed percentage delta to the current close, color-coded green when the level sits above price, red when below, gray at parity.
What it calculates:
- Volume density per price bin over the lookback window
- POC — Point of Control, the bin with peak accumulated volume
- VAH — Value Area High, upper boundary of the 70 % volume region
- VAL — Value Area Low, lower boundary of the 70 % volume region
- Signed delta from current close to POC / VAH / VAL, in percent
Key features:
- Rolling recalculation every N bars for tunable CPU / responsiveness balance
- Volume weighting (default) or touch-count mode as a per-price frequency map — useful when volume data is unreliable
- Four-stop plasma color gradient (deep navy → violet → magenta → amber), every stop user-overridable via input.color
- Constant 1-pixel line width across all bins; visual weight is carried entirely by color intensity and transparency
- POC solid line and label placed past the offset histogram for readability
- VAH / VAL dashed lines extended all the way to their labels so the eye follows the level continuously
- Compact right-side density histogram in the future-offset area, mirroring the main profile in bar-chart form
- Top-right information panel with POC / VAH / VAL price and signed percentage delta to the current close, colored by side (green above / red below / gray at parity)
- Independent visibility toggles for POC and Value Area
- Adaptive bin geometry — resolution scales automatically with the price range of the lookback window
- Runs on any timeframe and any instrument; no external data sources required
Who it's for:
Intraday scalpers, swing traders, order-flow and Market Profile practitioners who need to see the true volume anchors of the current regime instead of hand-drawn horizontals. The color-graded strips make dominant liquidity walls, thin gaps and Value Area boundaries visually obvious at a glance, so attention goes to execution rather than to marking up the chart. Indicator
FRVP ContinuationFIRST-MOVE FRVP CONTINUATION BREAKOUT
This indicator detects bullish continuation opportunities using the value structure created by an earlier high-participation price movement.
It automatically identifies and freezes the first qualifying bullish movement, calculates an approximate Fixed Range Volume Profile, and monitors price behavior around:
• VAL — Value Area Low
• POC — Point of Control
• VAH — Value Area High
A continuation entry requires more than a simple breakout above VAH. The indicator looks for a complete sequence:
1. A meaningful bullish movement creates value.
2. Price and volume contract after the movement.
3. The profile’s POC remains above session VWAP.
4. Price approaches and defends VAL.
5. Multiple attempts to cross POC are rejected downward.
6. A strong, high-volume candle crosses from the POC region through VAH.
7. Price subsequently holds above POC.
This structure represents a failed lower auction followed by expansion above established value.
FIRST-MOVE DETECTION
In automatic mode, the indicator searches for a bullish expansion candle with:
• A sufficiently large bullish body relative to ATR
• A close near the upper portion of its candle range
• Strong relative volume
• Occurrence inside the configured starting window
A configurable number of preceding context bars can be included. This helps the range begin at the true start of the movement rather than only at the first candle that satisfies every trigger condition.
The movement continues until:
• The minimum number of bars has formed
• The total range is sufficiently large relative to ATR
• Volume contracts after the movement high
• Cumulative movement volume meets the required minimum
• The maximum permitted movement length has not been exceeded
The default minimum cumulative volume is 50,000 shares. This prevents one active candle followed by thin, low-participation trading from creating an FRVP structure.
If a candidate fails these requirements, it is discarded and the indicator continues searching for another valid movement that day.
AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL MODES
Auto:
The indicator finds and freezes the first completed movement that passes every configured requirement.
Manual Window:
The user supplies an exchange-time window, and the indicator calculates the profile from the bars inside that window.
Manual mode is useful for studying historical movements, comparing the approximation with PulseWire’s Fixed Range Volume Profile, and validating settings.
APPROXIMATE VOLUME PROFILE
PulseWire does not allow Pine scripts to read values directly from the built-in Fixed Range Volume Profile drawing.
This indicator therefore calculates its own approximation.
Each candle’s volume is distributed proportionally across the price rows crossed by that candle. The indicator then calculates:
• POC — The row containing the greatest estimated volume
• VAL — The lower boundary of the value area
• VAH — The upper boundary of the value area
The default value area contains 70% of the movement’s estimated volume.
Because the calculation uses chart-bar data, its values can differ slightly from PulseWire’s built-in FRVP, particularly when the built-in tool uses lower-timeframe volume allocation.
POC AND VWAP REQUIREMENT
A bullish profile is accepted only when its POC is at or above session VWAP when the profile freezes.
The same relationship is checked again on the entry bar.
POC must remain at or above VWAP.
This helps ensure that the profile’s primary accepted-price level remains in a constructive location relative to the session’s volume-weighted average price.
A profile whose POC is below VWAP is rejected before it is drawn.
VAL DEFENSE
After the profile freezes, the indicator waits for price to approach VAL.
A valid VAL defense requires:
• Price to come sufficiently close to VAL
• No excessive penetration below VAL
• An acceptable close relative to VAL
• No sustained acceptance beneath the value area
VAL defense can be identified directly or through a confirmed pivot low.
When pivot confirmation is used, the marker is placed on the actual defense candle only after the required later bars have completed. The defense was not known on that historical candle in real time.
If price establishes repeated closes below VAL, the structure is marked as VAL LOST and the continuation setup is invalidated.
POC FIGHT AND FAILED ATTEMPTS
After VAL has been defended, the indicator monitors attempts to regain POC.
A POC FAIL marker requires:
• Price to reach or cross POC
• The candle to close near or below POC
• A meaningful downward move from the candle high to its close
• Sufficient spacing from the previous counted attempt
A rejection candle may close slightly above the exact POC when it still demonstrates a clear downward rejection from its high.
The vertical distance between each POC FAIL label and its candle is adjustable in ATR units.
Repeated failures show that POC is behaving as an actual control or conflict level rather than merely being a calculated line.
CONTINUATION ENTRY
An entry requires:
• VAL was defended
• VAL was not subsequently invalidated
• The required number of spaced POC failures occurred
• POC remains at or above VWAP
• The breakout begins from the POC region
• The candle closes above VAH with the required buffer
• The candle has a sufficiently large bullish body
• The candle closes near its high
• Relative volume exceeds the configured minimum
When every condition passes, an FRVP ENTRY marker appears on the qualifying breakout candle.
The marker is anchored to the entry candle itself.
ENTRY HOLD CONFIRMATION
The initial entry can be monitored for a configurable number of later bars.
• FRVP ENTRY — The qualifying breakout occurred
• FRVP ENTRY CONFIRMED — Price completed the required hold above POC
• FRVP ENTRY FAILED — Price closed back below the permitted POC threshold
The confirmation status uses later price information, but the marker remains attached to the original entry candle.
VISUAL GUIDE
• Shaded movement box — The frozen first-move range
• Green line — VAL
• White dashed line — POC
• Red line — VAH
• FRVP FROZEN — The movement profile was accepted
• VAL DEFENDED — Price successfully tested the lower value boundary
• POC FAIL — Price reached POC and rejected downward
• FRVP ENTRY — A qualifying continuation breakout occurred
• FRVP ENTRY CONFIRMED — The breakout held above POC
• FRVP ENTRY FAILED — The breakout lost POC during confirmation
• VAL LOST — Price established acceptance below the previous value area
ALERT
The indicator provides one alert:
FRVP Entry Bar
It fires when the qualifying entry candle closes.
There are no separate alerts for movement detection, profile freezing, VAL defense, POC failures, later hold confirmation, or entry failure.
The alert fires on the original entry bar before the optional hold-confirmation period is complete.
RECOMMENDED USE
The indicator was designed primarily for liquid intraday equities on low chart timeframes.
The default configuration supports charts up to five minutes, with particular emphasis on one-minute data.
For other instruments or timeframes, consider adjusting:
• Minimum cumulative movement volume
• Starting relative volume
• Movement range and length
• Profile row count
• VAL tolerances
• POC rejection requirements
• Breakout body and relative volume
• Entry hold duration
The default 50,000-share cumulative-volume requirement is equity-focused and may not be appropriate for futures, cryptocurrencies, or instruments using tick volume.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The automatically selected range is the first completed movement that passes the configured rules. It is not necessarily the visually largest movement of the day.
The calculated profile is an approximation and should not be expected to match PulseWire’s built-in Fixed Range Volume Profile exactly.
This indicator identifies structured continuation evidence. It does not guarantee that a breakout will continue.
Signals should be combined with risk management, broader market context, liquidity, and awareness of nearby resistance.

Volume Profile Supertrend [HexaTrades]Volume Profile Supertrend re-imagines the classic Supertrend. Instead of trailing bands built from pure volatility (ATR), it builds them around the levels where real volume has traded the Point of Control and Value Area.
The philosophy is simple: a normal Supertrend follows volatility; this one follows where the market accepts value. Price tends to gravitate to, and trend away from, the zones where the most business gets done. By anchoring the trend engine to value migration, the indicator aims to stay on the right side of the move while filtering out a portion of low-quality volatility noise.
Everything is computed internally in Pine; no built-in Volume Profile tool is used, so it works on any symbol and timeframe that has volume.
💡How it works
1. Rolling Volume Profile:
It looks back over the last Profile Lookback bars, finds the high–low range, and divides it into Number of Rows price buckets. Every historical bar's volume is distributed across the buckets its range spans, producing a fresh volume distribution on every candle.
2. POC, VAH & VAL:
POC (Point of Control) : the price bucket with the highest traded volume (the "fairest price").
Value Area: the script expands outward from the POC until it captures the chosen Value Area % (default 70%) of total volume.
VAH / VAL: the upper and lower edges of that Value Area.
3. Smoothing & Supertrend bands:
POC, VAH, and VAL are smoothed with EMAs to remove jitter. Two trailing bands are then built, exactly like a Supertrend:
Lower band = smoothed VAL − (ATR × buffer) → support used while bullish.
Upper band = smoothed VAH + (ATR × buffer) → resistance used while bearish.
The bands only trail in the trend-following direction, so they lock in as the price advances.
4. Trend flip:
The trend is bullish while price holds above the lower band, and flips bearish when price closes below it (and vice-versa). The flip is evaluated against the previous bar's confirmed bands, so closed candles never change.
💡How to read it
🔶Bullish:A green line sits below the price. The market is accepting a higher value; treat pullbacks toward the line as the trend "breathing." A flip to red is your warning.
🔶Bearish: A red line sits above the price. Value is migrating lower; rallies into the line are where sellers tend to re-engage. A flip to green signals a potential turn.
🔶Choppy Markets: When price is inside the value area and trend strength is low, the market may be sideways.
In these conditions, signals can be weaker. It may be better to wait for a clear value breakout or stronger trend strength.
🔺Signals
- BUY label prints when the trend flips from bearish to bullish.

Alerts
The indicator includes alerts for important events:
-Buy Signal / Sell Signal
-Bullish Trend / Bearish Trend (flip)
-Price Above Value Area / Price Below Value Area
-Price Crossing POC EMA
Suggested Settings
For Intraday Trading
Use lower lookback and medium rows for faster signals.
Example:
-Profile Lookback: 50–100
-Rows: 30–50
-EMA Smoothing: 8–14
-ATR Buffer: 0.5–1.0
For Swing trading
Use higher lookback and smoother settings for cleaner signals.
Example:
-Profile Lookback: 100–250
-Rows: 40–70
-EMA Smoothing: 10–21
-ATR Buffer: 0.8–1.5
For Cleaner Signals
-Increase EMA Smoothing Length
-AIncrease TR Buffer
-Increase Minimum Trend Strength
Volume Profile Supertrend combines the proven structure of a Supertrend with the market's true area of value derived from a rolling Volume Profile. Instead of relying solely on price volatility, it follows the migration of value through the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VAH/VAL) to identify higher-quality trend changes.
Whether you're a day trader or swing trader, this indicator helps you visualize trend direction, identify dynamic support and resistance, filter weak reversals, and stay aligned with the prevailing market structure. Use it as a standalone trend-following tool or alongside your existing trading strategy for additional confirmation.

Session Volume Profile - Intraday [HexaTrades]Session Volume Profile Intraday is a comprehensive volume profile indicator designed specifically for intraday traders. It builds a separate volume profile for each session and automatically identifies the most important auction-market levels, including Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), Previous Session Levels, VWAP, Previous Day High/Low, Initial Balance, and Naked POCs.
The goal of this indicator is to help traders understand where the market is accepting price, where major volume has traded, and where important support/resistance or liquidity zones may form during the trading session.
⭐️ How it works
-Binning: the session's price range (highest high to lowest low) is divided into Rows per Profile equal price bins.
-Volume distribution: each bar's volume is spread evenly across every bin its high–low range spans, and tagged buy or sell by candle direction.
-POC: the bin holding the most total volume.
- Value Area: starting from the POC, the algorithm expands outward always toward the heavier of the two neighbouring bins, until the accumulated volume reaches the chosen Value Area % (default 70%). The top and bottom edges of the included bins become VAH and VAL.
-Width: each row's bar length is scaled to its volume relative to the POC row, capped by the width settings.

🔷 Session Volume Profile: The indicator creates a horizontal volume profile for each trading session. Each profile shows how much volume traded at different price levels during that session.
The widest part of the profile represents the area with the highest traded volume. Thin areas show low-volume zones where price may move faster.
🔷 POC - Point of Control: POC is the price level with the highest traded volume during the session.
It is one of the most important levels on the chart because it represents the price where the market spent the most activity.
How to use POC:
- Price above POC can suggest buyers are in control.
- Price below POC can suggest sellers are in control.
- A retest of POC can act as support or resistance.
- A strong rejection from POC may create a trade setup.
- A clean reclaim of POC may show a change in intraday bias.
🔷 VAH and VAL - Value Area High / Low
The Value Area represents the price zone where most of the session’s volume traded, usually 70%.
VAH is the upper boundary of the value area.
VAL is the lower boundary of the value area.
How to use Value Area:
- Price inside value area = balanced market.
- Price above VAH = bullish acceptance/strength.
- Price below VAL = bearish acceptance/weakness.
- Rejection from VAH may create a short setup.
- Rejection from VAL may create a long setup.
- Breakout above VAH can indicate trend continuation.
- Breakdown below VAL can indicate downside continuation.
🔷 Previous Session POC / VAH / VAL
The indicator carries forward the previous session’s important profile levels into the current session.
These levels often act as strong support, resistance, or reaction zones.
How to use previous session levels:
- Previous POC can act as a major magnet level.
- Previous VAH/VAL can act as important breakout or rejection zones.
- If price opens above previous value, the market may be bullish.
- If price opens below the previous value, the market may be bearish.
- If price opens inside the previous value, the market may be balanced or rotational.
🔷 PDH and PDL - Previous Day High / Low
PDH means Previous Day High.
PDL means Previous Day Low.
These are important liquidity levels watched by many intraday traders.
How to use PDH/PDL:
- Break above PDH may show bullish momentum.
- Break below PDL may show bearish momentum.
- A fake breakout above PDH followed by rejection can indicate a liquidity sweep.
- A fake breakdown below PDL followed by recovery can indicate a downside liquidity sweep.
🔷 VWAP - Session VWAP
VWAP shows the average traded price of the session based on volume.
How to use VWAP:
- Price above VWAP = bullish intraday bias.
- Price below VWAP = bearish intraday bias.
- VWAP can act as dynamic support or resistance.
- POC + VWAP confluence can create a stronger reaction zone.
🔷 Initial Balance — IBH / IBL
Initial Balance is the high and low of the first part of the trading session. By default, it uses the first 60 minutes.
IBH = Initial Balance High
IBL = Initial Balance Low
How to use Initial Balance:
- Break above IBH may indicate a bullish trend day.
- Break below IBL may indicate a bearish trend day.
- Rejection from IBH/IBL may indicate range continuation.
- IB range helps define early-session structure.
🔷 Naked POCs
A Naked POC is a previous session POC that has not yet been retested by price.
How to use Naked POCs:
- They can act as future price magnets.
- Price often reacts when revisiting them.
- They can be used as target zones.
- Once price trades through a Naked POC, the level is considered tested.
⭐️ Dashboard
The dashboard provides a real-time summary of the current session and key reference levels, helping traders quickly assess market structure, auction location, and intraday bias.
- Price Location: Shows whether the current price is trading Above Value, Inside Value, or Below Value relative to the developing session Value Area.
- Session POC: Current session's Point of Control — the price level with the highest traded volume.
- Session VAH: Current session Value Area High.
- Session VAL: Current session Value Area Low.
- VWAP: Current session Volume Weighted Average Price.
- Prev POC: Previous session Point of Control, often acting as an important support, resistance, or mean-reversion level.
- Prev VAH: Previous session Value Area High, frequently used as a resistance level or bullish breakout trigger.
- Prev VAL: Previous session Value Area Low, frequently used as a support level or bearish breakdown trigger.
- PDH: Previous Day High, a key liquidity and breakout reference level.
- PDL: Previous Day Low, a key liquidity and breakdown reference level.
- IBH: Initial Balance High, representing the upper boundary of the opening range.
- IBL: Initial Balance Low, representing the lower boundary of the opening range.
- Naked POCs: Displays the number of active untested POCs from previous sessions that have not yet been revisited by price.
⭐️ How to Use This Indicator
🔷Step 1: Identify Market Bias
First, check where price is trading compared to VWAP, POC, and Value Area.
Bullish bias:
-Price above VWAP
-Price above session POC
-Price above VAH
-POC shifting higher
Bearish bias:
-Price below VWAP
-Price below session POC
-Price below VAL
-POC shifting lower
Neutral/balanced market:
-Price inside value area
-Price moving around POC
-VWAP is flat
-No clear acceptance above VAH or below VAL
🔷Step 2: Watch Key Reaction Levels
The most important reaction levels are:
- Current Session POC
-Previous Session POC
-VAH / VAL
-VWAP
-PDH / PDL
-IBH / IBL
-Naked POCs
When multiple levels are close together, that area becomes stronger confluence.
Example:
If VWAP, POC, and VAL are near the same price, that zone becomes an important support/resistance area.
🔷 Step 3: Look for Confirmation
Do not take trades only because price touches a level.
Wait for confirmation such as:
- Strong rejection candle

Dual Profile Structure Map [JOAT]Dual Profile Structure Map
Introduction
Dual Profile Structure Map is an open-source session volume profile indicator that computes Point of Control, Value Area High, Value Area Low, and Initial Balance levels for the current session and displays them as a horizontal histogram overlaid on price. Unlike fixed-range or visible-range profiles, this indicator uses time-based session segmentation — the profile represents only the bars within the current trading day, updating continuously as each bar closes.
The profile answers a specific question: where was the majority of trading activity concentrated in the current session, and what are the structural reference levels that follow from that activity? The Initial Balance (the range of the first hour of the session) provides context for whether subsequent price behavior is an extension or a rejection.
Core Concepts
1. Volume Profile Calculation
Price range is divided into configurable bins. Each bar's volume is allocated to the bins that overlap its high-low range, proportionally by the fraction of the bar that falls within each bin. The result is an array of volume-at-price values for the session:
for b = 0 to nBins - 1
float binLo = profileLow + b * binSize
float binHi = binLo + binSize
float overlap = math.min(high, binHi) - math.max(low, binLo)
if overlap > 0
vol_at_bin += volume * (overlap / (high - low))
2. Point of Control and Value Area
The Point of Control (POC) is the bin with the highest volume — the price level where the most trading occurred. The Value Area is computed using the standard 70% rule: starting from the POC, adjacent bins are added to the value area (choosing the higher-volume adjacent bin each time) until 70% of session volume is captured. The resulting Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) define the range where value was accepted.
3. Initial Balance
The Initial Balance uses the high and low of the first configurable number of bars after session open (default: first 4 bars on a 15-minute chart = first hour). IB High and IB Low are drawn as horizontal lines across the chart. Price trading above IB High is bullish extension; below IB Low is bearish extension; inside the IB is balance.
4. Histogram Rendering
Volume bins are rendered as horizontal bars extending leftward from the right edge of the session. Bar width is proportional to relative volume. The POC bin uses a distinct color. Value area bins use a softer fill. Bins outside the value area use the dimmest fill. This creates the standard volume profile "bell curve" visualization.
Features
Session volume profile: Real-time per-session histogram updated bar by bar
Point of Control (POC): Highest-volume price bin with labeled line
Value Area (VAH/VAL): 70% volume concentration band with boundary lines

How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Identify the POC
The POC is the fair value anchor for the session. Price gravitating toward the POC during a pullback indicates healthy trend behavior. Price unable to hold above or below the POC suggests indecision at current levels.
Step 2: Use Value Area for Range Context
Value area acceptance means price is spending time within the 70% volume zone — a range-bound state. Value area rejection (price rapidly leaving VAH or VAL and not returning) indicates directional conviction.
Step 3: Trade Initial Balance Extensions
A close above IB High with follow-through is a bullish extension signal. A close below IB Low is bearish. Range expansion beyond the IB indicates participants accepting new value outside the opening equilibrium.
Step 4: Watch POC as Support or Resistance
On future pullbacks, the prior session's POC often acts as structural support or resistance. The indicator's persistent level lines provide these reference points across sessions.
Indicator Limitations
Volume profile interpretation requires practice; mechanical rules based on profile levels without context produce poor results
On instruments with irregular volume distribution (low-liquidity sessions, gaps), profiles may cluster into unrepresentative patterns
The 70% value area rule is a convention from Market Profile theory, not a mathematically proven optimal threshold
Originality Statement
The combination of a real-time session volume profile with Initial Balance tracking, candle coloring by value area position, and a live-updating dashboard in a single Pine Script v6 publication provides a self-contained session structure tool. The session-adaptive profile calculation using proportional volume allocation across bins is implemented from first principles, not adapted from another published script.

HTF Candle Footprint [Cartel Console]# HTF Candle Footprint
HTF Candle Footprint is a higher-timeframe volume and delta visualization tool designed to help traders analyze the internal composition of a selected higher-timeframe candle directly on the chart.
The indicator reconstructs a footprint-style profile inside a dynamically generated higher-timeframe candle, allowing users to examine how volume and directional pressure were distributed throughout the candle's range. By combining volume distribution, delta estimation, Point of Control (POC), and higher-timeframe candle structure into a single visualization, traders can gain additional context about market participation and price acceptance within significant trading periods.
Unlike traditional volume profiles that focus on extended historical ranges, this indicator concentrates on the currently developing or recently completed higher-timeframe candle. This approach enables users to study how volume accumulates across price levels while simultaneously monitoring the relationship between bullish and bearish activity inside the candle body.
### Key Features
• Higher-Timeframe Candle Reconstruction
Displays a custom-rendered higher-timeframe candle directly on the chart, including body and wick structure.
• Integrated Footprint Visualization
Shows estimated buying and selling pressure across individual price levels within the selected higher-timeframe range.
• Volume Distribution Profile
Builds a horizontal volume profile that highlights where the greatest amount of trading activity occurred during the analyzed period.
• Delta-Based Pressure Analysis
Calculates directional volume estimates and displays positive and negative pressure zones using color-coded footprint cells.
• Point of Control (POC) Detection
Automatically identifies and plots the highest-volume price level within the profile.
• Dynamic High and Low Levels
Marks the extreme boundaries of the analyzed higher-timeframe candle for additional market structure reference.
• Real-Time Higher-Timeframe Bias Dashboard
Provides a compact dashboard showing the current directional bias of the selected higher-timeframe candle.
• Multi-Timeframe Support
Analyze volume and pressure behavior across Hourly, 4-Hour, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly structures.
### How Traders Use It
Many traders use higher-timeframe candles as key reference points for trend analysis, support and resistance identification, liquidity observations, and contextual decision-making. HTF Candle Footprint enhances this process by exposing the internal volume distribution of those candles.
Potential use cases include:
• Identifying high-participation price zones
• Observing areas of price acceptance and rejection
• Comparing volume concentration against candle structure
• Locating potential reaction levels around the Point of Control
• Studying directional pressure within higher-timeframe ranges
• Adding additional context to multi-timeframe analysis workflows

Volume Delta ProfileVolume Delta Profile
The Volume Delta Profile is an overlay indicator that builds a horizontal volume delta distribution directly on the price chart, similar to a Market Profile or Volume Profile but using net delta (buying pressure minus selling pressure) as the core metric instead of raw traded volume.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT IS VOLUME DELTA?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Volume delta measures the difference between aggressive buying volume (market buy orders hitting the ask) and aggressive selling volume (market sell orders hitting the bid) within a given candle. A positive delta means buyers were more aggressive during that candle. A negative delta means sellers were more aggressive.
This indicator uses PulseWire's native ta.requestVolumeDelta() function, which reconstructs delta by scanning a lower timeframe (automatically selected or manually configured) to approximate the split between up-volume and down-volume for each candle.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The indicator scans a configurable number of historical bars (default: 500) and for each bar assigns its volume delta to a price level based on the closing price of that bar. Price levels are divided into equally spaced buckets across the high-to-low range of the lookback period.
Positive delta (net buying) accumulates in the bullish bucket of that price level.
Negative delta (net selling) accumulates in the bearish bucket of that price level.
The result is a horizontal bar chart displayed to the right of the last candle, where each row represents a price level and the width of the bar represents the total delta activity at that level. The color of each bar reflects which side dominated:
• Teal bars → net buying pressure dominated at that price level
• Pink/red bars → net selling pressure dominated at that price level
The Point of Control (POC) is marked as a solid horizontal line extending 50 bars to the left, highlighting the price level where the highest total delta activity occurred across the entire lookback period.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
COMPONENTS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Delta Profile (horizontal bars)
A visual distribution of accumulated volume delta across price levels. Each bar's width is proportional to the total delta activity at that level relative to the most active level. Bars are color-coded by dominant side (buyers vs sellers).
2. Point of Control (POC)
The price level with the highest total delta activity in the lookback window. Displayed as a solid horizontal line extending 50 bars to the left of the current bar. This is the price where the most aggressive order flow occurred — institutional interest tends to concentrate here.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Lookback bars (default 500): Number of historical candles to include in the profile. More bars give a broader context; fewer bars focus on recent activity.
• Bar width (default 20): Visual width in pixels of the widest bar in the profile. Adjust for chart readability.
• Price levels (default 50): Number of horizontal buckets the price range is divided into. More levels give finer granularity; fewer levels give a smoother, broader view.
• Positive delta color (default teal): Color for price levels where buying pressure dominated.
• Negative delta color (default pink): Color for price levels where selling pressure dominated.
• POC color (default black): Color of the Point of Control line.
• Profile offset (default 10): Horizontal distance in bars between the last candle and the left edge of the profile. Increase to avoid overlap with live price action.
• Custom timeframe: Override the automatic lower timeframe used for delta reconstruction. Higher timeframes load more history but reduce precision.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO INTERPRET IT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DOMINANT COLOR ZONES
Large teal zones indicate price areas where institutional buyers were consistently aggressive. These levels tend to act as support — if price returns to them, buyers are likely to defend the level. Large pink zones indicate areas of consistent selling aggression, which tend to act as resistance or liquidity targets for short-side participants.
PROFILE SHAPE
A profile with a clear peak (narrow, tall distribution) suggests price spent most of its time and order flow at a specific level — strong agreement on value. A wide, flat profile suggests price moved across a broad range without clear absorption at any single level.
POINT OF CONTROL (POC)
The POC is the single most important level in the profile. It represents where the maximum institutional order flow occurred. Price has a strong tendency to gravitate back toward the POC after extended moves away from it, making it a high-probability mean-reversion target. It also acts as a decisive level: a clean break and hold above a teal POC confirms bullish institutional commitment; a rejection at a pink POC confirms continued distribution.
DIVERGENCE BETWEEN COLOR AND PRICE MOVEMENT
If price fell sharply through a level but the profile shows teal (net buying) at that level, it suggests absorption — institutions were buying the selling pressure. This is often a precursor to a reversal. Conversely, if price rose through a level but the profile shows pink, distribution was occurring into the rally.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HOW TO USE IT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. IDENTIFY THE VALUE AREA
Look for the widest bars in the profile — these are the price levels with the most delta activity. The market considers these levels "fair value." Price tends to spend more time here and frequently returns to these zones after deviation.
2. USE THE POC AS A MAGNET
If price is trading significantly above or below the POC, there is a structural tendency to return to it. The POC acts as a mean-reversion target, especially in range-bound or post-impulse conditions.
3. READ THE COLOR FOR BIAS
Before entering a trade, check the delta color at the relevant support or resistance level. A teal zone below current price strengthens a long bias — institutions were buying there. A pink zone above current price strengthens a short bias — institutions were selling there.
4. SPOT ABSORPTION
Large teal bars at price lows or large pink bars at price highs are signs of institutional absorption. These are the exact footprints of Wyckoff accumulation and distribution phases — smart money absorbing retail order flow before the next directional move.
5. COMBINE WITH STRUCTURE
Use this indicator alongside your market structure analysis. A key structural level (support, resistance, order block) that coincides with a high-delta POC or dominant color zone has significantly higher probability of holding or acting as a reversal point.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• Delta data requires a data provider that supplies volume. The indicator will throw a runtime error if volume data is unavailable for the selected symbol.
• The profile updates on bar close and on the last real-time bar to keep the display current without excessive recalculation.
• Works on any timeframe and any instrument with volume data: forex, indices, crypto, commodities, equities.
• For best results on higher timeframes (daily, weekly), enable the custom timeframe option and select a higher sub-timeframe (e.g., "60") to ensure sufficient historical delta data is available.

Sloped LinReg Volume Profile [MarkitTick]💡 This indicator introduces a highly dynamic approach to volume and price analysis by merging standard volume principles with vector-based linear regression. Rather than plotting volume distributions on a static horizontal plane, this tool maps volume nodes parallel to the prevailing mathematical trend. By constructing a localized volume profile that follows the trajectory of price action, it captures momentum-adjusted value areas, providing an advanced lens for interpreting market geometry, support/resistance, and volume anomalies. It is strictly engineered for standard candlestick charts, specifically excluding non-standard formats to ensure pristine volume and price data integrity.
● ✨ Originality and Utility
Standard volume profiles aggregate historical volume at fixed price levels, which often creates fragmented or obsolete value nodes when a market is actively trending. This indicator resolves that structural limitation by angling the volume bins to match the slope of a linear regression channel.
It identifies where volume is concentrated relative to the trend's axis, not just the absolute price.
It reveals volume-weighted momentum, highlighting whether buying or selling pressure is accelerating in the direction of the regression slope.
The tool includes an integrated, dark-mode optimized analytics dashboard that processes quantitative metrics natively on the chart without requiring secondary oscillators.
● 🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The foundational logic relies on computing a rolling linear regression to establish a baseline trajectory over a specified period. The methodology relies on Pine Script's time-series event loop, evaluating arrays of data dynamically as new bars form.
Vector-Based Binning: Instead of horizontal rows, the profile utilizes a dynamic upper and lower deviation band. The mathematical distance between these bands is partitioned into a user-defined number of rows.
Volume Distribution: As the script loops through the historical lookback window, it evaluates the volume of each bar. The volume is divided proportionally across the sloped bins that intersect the bar's high-low range.
Directional Volume (Delta): Each bin further categorizes volume into "Buy" or "Sell" categories based on whether the bar's closing price was greater than or equal to its opening price.
Value Area Calculation: The Point of Control (POC) identifies the sloped bin with the highest total volume. The Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) expand outward from the POC until they encapsulate a specific percentage of the total allocated volume, dynamically updating as price action develops.
● 🎨 Visual Guide
Every visual element is rendered utilizing Pine Script's advanced drawing arrays and is fully user-configurable to support dark-mode analytical environments.
• The Sloped Profile
Volume Bars: Rendered as polygons extending inward from the right side of the channel. The length of each polygon represents the relative volume allocated to that specific standard deviation bin.
Color Coding: Bullish volume defaults to a translucent teal, while bearish volume displays as a translucent red. Bins experiencing extraordinary volume influxes override with a bright, high-visibility color to highlight anomalous market participation.
• Channel and Level Lines
Regression Bounds: Solid or semi-transparent lines mapping the start and end of the regression channel, defining the upper and lower standard deviation extremes.
POC Line: A thick, solid yellow line plotting the Point of Control across the length of the channel.
Value Area Lines: Dashed blue lines tracking the VAH and VAL. The area between these lines is shaded with a deep blue fill to instantly highlight the trend's core acceptance zone.
Delta POC: A dashed fuchsia line identifying the bin with the most extreme difference between buying and selling volume.
• Analytics Dashboard
Located in the top right, this table provides real-time quantitative readouts formatted to precise tick values.
LinReg Slope: Indicates the mathematical direction of the trend (Bullish/Bearish).
Price Regime: Identifies if the current close is inside the channel or breaking the upper/lower bounds.
Volume POC & Delta POC: Displays the exact price equivalents of the sloped control lines at the current bar index.
Buy Vol Bias: A visual progress bar detailing the ratio of bullish to bearish volume within the regression window.
Vol Compression: Evaluates the density of the value area. A highly concentrated value area yields a higher compression score.
● 📖 How to Use
The indicator serves as a complete environmental map for trending markets.
Trend Qualification: Utilize the slope of the regression channel to establish the primary directional bias. Trades should ideally align with the slope.
Value Area Rejections: The VAH and VAL lines function as dynamic support and resistance. A price action rejection at the VAH within a downward-sloping channel offers a high-probability continuation setup.
POC Magnetism: Price will naturally gravitate toward the sloped POC. Deviations far outside the Value Area typically mean-revert to the POC unless accompanied by a severe volume imbalance.
Interpreting Delta: Compare the traditional POC to the Delta POC. If the Delta POC rests significantly higher or lower than the overall Volume POC, it indicates an aggressive concentration of directional absorption (trapped buyers or sellers).
Repainting Warning: Because this indicator calculates a dynamic linear regression over a moving lookback window, the visual placement of the channel and profile will continually recalculate and shift on the real-time bar until the bar closes. This is standard behavior for dynamic geometric overlays, but users should wait for bar confirmation before executing trades based on channel interactions.
● ⚙️ Inputs and Settings
• Linear Regression Settings
Channel Length: Defines the historical lookback window (default is 100). Higher values create smoother, macro-trend profiles.
Source: The price data used for the regression calculation (Open, High, Low, Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4).
Upper/Lower Deviation: Toggles the outer bounds of the channel and sets the standard deviation multipliers.
• Sloped Volume Profile Settings
Number of Rows: The granularity of the profile. More rows create thinner, more precise volume nodes.
Profile Width %: Determines how far the volume polygons stretch across the screen relative to the channel length.
Value Area %: The percentage of total volume to include within the VAH and VAL bounds (default 70%).
• Advanced Quant Analytics
Highlight Footprints: Visually isolates volume bins that exceed two standard deviations above the mean bin volume.
Calculate Anchored VWAP: Toggles the inclusion of an Anchored VWAP (anchored to the start of the regression window) within the dashboard matrix.

MTF CVD Synchrony | Rainbow MatrixGENERAL OVERVIEW
MTF CVD Synchrony is a multi-timeframe directional flow oscillator that condenses five independent CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) readings — one per Fibonacci-spaced timeframe — into a single weighted Master Line on a zero-centered 0-100 scale, surrounded by per-TF "ghost lines" that fade visually as they diverge from the consensus. The defining feature: 50 is true neutral. Above 50 means buyers are dominating; below 50 means sellers are dominating. The further from 50, the stronger the directional pressure. When the five timeframes align, the rainbow becomes a solid band; when they diverge, the disagreement becomes a visible density property of the indicator itself.
A background histogram visualizes the Master score's deviation from the neutral 50 line — green columns extend up when buyers dominate, red columns extend down when sellers dominate. A compact 7×9 MTF Legend Table surfaces every dimension simultaneously: per-TF resolutions, score values, trend direction, divergence flags, raw flow magnitude, and named directional State — with an antenna marker flagging the row whose timeframe matches your chart's native resolution.
Designed as the directional member of a three-indicator family. Apply all three side-by-side for a complete read: MTF RSI Synchrony shows where price sits in its momentum range; MTF Volume Delta Bar Synchrony shows whether the move has volume magnitude behind it; MTF CVD Synchrony shows who is actually winning — buyers or sellers. Same visual signature, same canonical Fibonacci ratios, same Legend Table layout — instant cross-indicator readability.
WHAT IS THE THEORY BEHIND THIS INDICATOR
Cumulative Volume Delta attempts to answer a question that price and volume alone cannot: in any given bar, were buyers or sellers more aggressive? Traditional volume tells you HOW MUCH traded, but not the DIRECTION of the pressure. A high-volume bar that closes flat tells a very different story from a high-volume bar that closes at its highs — yet raw volume scores them identically.
CVD approximates directional pressure by weighting each bar's volume by where price closed within its range. This indicator uses the Close Location Value (CLV) for that weighting:
clv = ((close − low) − (high − close)) / (high − low)
CLV ranges from +1 (close exactly at the high — maximum buying pressure) to −1 (close exactly at the low — maximum selling pressure), with 0 at the midpoint. Multiplying CLV by volume produces a signed directional contribution per bar: delta_raw = clv × volume. This is more nuanced than the binary tick rule (close > open = buy) used by most "delta" indicators — CLV captures HOW DECISIVELY price closed in its range, not just the sign.
The per-bar delta is then smoothed by EMA and normalized into a bounded 0-100 zero-centered score:
cvd_smooth = EMA(delta_raw, smoothing_length)
max_abs = highest(|cvd_smooth|, normalization_window)
score = 50 + (cvd_smooth / max_abs) × 50
The genius of the zero-centered approach: 50 always means balance, regardless of the asset's structural bias. A score of 75 means buyers are exerting 50% of the maximum recent pressure to the upside; a score of 25 means sellers are exerting 50% of maximum recent pressure to the downside. This is fundamentally different from a percentile rank (which would anchor 50 at the historical median, skewing with structural trends).
Five such scores — one per timeframe (default 5 / 15 / 60 / 240 / D) — are fused via canonical Fibonacci weights (0.15 / 0.20 / 0.25 / 0.25 / 0.15, peak weight on the macro TF3/TF4 where institutional positioning consolidates) into the weighted Master Line.
FEATURES
🔹 Multi-Timeframe CVD Fusion Engine (zero-centered directional scale)
🔹 CVD Histogram (deviation from neutral 50 — green buy / red sell)
🔹 Adaptive Fibonacci Channel (Z-Breathing → Z-Alert → Z-Exhaustion → Black Swan)
🔹 Hybrid Black Swan Zones (static or dynamic — default dynamic)
🔹 Classic Price↔CVD Divergence Detection (per-TF + Master)
🔹 MTF Legend Table (7 columns × 9 rows, with Raw Flow + State, multilingual)
🔹 Multilingual Interface (EN / PT / ES / RU / ZH)
🔹 Multi-Timeframe CVD Fusion Engine
What It Does
Runs five independent CVD scores on Fibonacci-spaced timeframes and fuses them into a single weighted Master Line, with each per-TF reading plotted as a ghost line that fades by distance to the consensus.
Method
On each timeframe, f_cvd_full() computes CLV × volume per bar, smooths it via EMA, and normalizes against a rolling-max window to produce the zero-centered score. The five scores fuse via Fibonacci weights (0.15 / 0.20 / 0.25 / 0.25 / 0.15). Both smoothing length and normalization window are independently configurable per timeframe.
Per-TF smoothing defaults (Wilder-anchored on TF3+TF4):
◇ TF1 (5m): 7 — scalping
◇ TF2 (15m): 10 — day-trading
◇ TF3 (60m): 14 — Wilder canonical
◇ TF4 (240m): 14 — Wilder canonical
◇ TF5 (D): 21 — swing/position
Per-TF normalization windows (each TF's natural horizon):
◇ TF1: 30 (≈2.5h on 5m)
◇ TF2: 50 (≈12.5h on 15m)
◇ TF3: 80 (≈3.3 days on 1h)
◇ TF4: 100 (≈16 days on 4h)
◇ TF5: 150 (≈5 months on Daily)
All request.security calls use lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off for anti-repaint integrity.
Why It Matters
A 5-minute buy surge means little if the 4-hour and daily flows are decisively selling. The fusion engine reveals whether directional pressure is aligned across timescales (high conviction) or contradictory (a counter-trend bounce inside a larger trend). The ghost-line rainbow makes that alignment visible at a glance.
🔹 Adaptive Fibonacci Channel
What It Does
Six color-coded bands around the Master Line that adapt to its own recent volatility, using the brand's canonical Fibonacci ratios.
Method
Highest/lowest of the Master over a configurable lookback (default 50) are smoothed by EMA (default 10) to form the channel envelope. Bands sit at canonical Fibonacci proportions: Z-Breathing (1.50/1.85), Z-Alert (1.85σ anchor), Z-Exhaustion (2.75/1.85), Black Swan (3.85/1.85). All six band values are mathematically clamped to before rendering, keeping the rainbow inside the visible pane.
Why It Matters
Static thresholds can't adapt to regime changes. The Fibonacci channel calibrates the warning zones to the asset's current directional-flow volatility, so a "climax" on a calm pair and a "climax" on a volatile one both trigger at appropriate statistical extremes.
🔹 Hybrid Black Swan Zones
What It Does
Flags directional flow climax extremes — either at static 85/15 thresholds (BUY CLIMAX / SELL CLIMAX boundaries) or at the dynamic Fibonacci 3.85σ band.
Method
Dynamic Black Swan Mode is ON by default (Fibonacci 3.85σ proportion of the Master channel). Toggle OFF for static 85/15. Each zone renders as a glow line that brightens as the Master approaches. The static reference lines (15/50/85) are shown by default to anchor the zero-centered scale: 85 = purple (buy climax boundary), 50 = yellow (neutral), 15 = aqua (sell climax boundary).
Why It Matters
Directional flow climaxes mark exhaustion points — a BUY CLIMAX (score ≥ 85) means buyers have pushed to a recent extreme, often preceding a pause or reversal; a SELL CLIMAX (≤ 15) marks capitulation. The dynamic mode self-calibrates per asset and regime.
🔹 Classic Price↔CVD Divergence Detection
What It Does
Detects regular bear divergences (price higher high while CVD makes lower high — rally on weakening buy pressure) and bull divergences (price lower low while CVD makes higher low — selling exhausting). Runs on each timeframe AND on the Master line.
Method
Per-TF divergence runs inside request.security via pivot detection on the per-TF CVD score. Master divergence runs on the chart-TF directly, rendering a connecting line + label between pivots (red bear / green bull) on the pane. Per-TF results surface in the Legend Table's "Div" column.
Why It Matters
Price↔flow divergence is one of the most powerful applications of CVD. When price makes a new high but directional flow doesn't confirm, the rally is running on fading conviction — a classic distribution warning. Detecting this per-TF AND on the Master gives both early granular warnings and high-conviction confirmations.
🔹 MTF Legend Table
What It Does
A compact 7×9 table surfacing every dimension of the analysis at a glance.
Method
Rendered via table.new(force_overlay=false) on the pane. Layout:
◇ Row 0: title (spans all columns)
◇ Row 1: column headers — Indicator / Timeframe / Value / Trend / Div / Raw / State
◇ Rows 2-6: per-TF data
◇ Row 7: Master row ("🌈 Master (~XhYm)" with effective TF)
◇ Row 8: MTF Divergence status row
Per-TF cells show: ● TF label (+ antenna 📡 if chart-native), TF resolution, zero-centered score (zone-colored), trend arrow (±0.5 deadzone), divergence (🔺/🔻/—), Raw Flow (compact K/M/B signed magnitude, green if positive / red if negative), and State (directional name, zone-colored).
Why It Matters
The Raw Flow column complements the Value column: Value answers "how strong is the directional pressure?" (the normalized score), while Raw answers "how much actual volume is behind it?" (the absolute flow). A score of 75 with a small raw magnitude is weaker conviction than 75 with a huge raw magnitude. Together with State, the table tells a complete directional story per timeframe.
🔹 Multilingual Interface
What It Does
Translates all HUD labels, status messages, alert text, Legend Table headers, and directional State names to 5 languages: English, Português, Español, Русский, 中文.
Method
A single language dropdown selects the active language via Pine v6's ternary-chain pattern. Code, comments, and configuration tooltips remain in English by convention.
Why It Matters
The Rainbow Matrix family is built for traders worldwide. Multilingual UI removes friction for non-English-native users.
HOW TO USE
Reading the Pane
◇ Master near 50 with ghost lines tight: balanced flow, no directional edge (absorption / equilibrium).
◇ Master rising above 50: buyers gaining control. Above 62 = BUY PRESSURE; above 71 = STRONG BUY.
◇ Master falling below 50: sellers gaining control. Below 38 = SELL PRESSURE; below 29 = STRONG SELL.
◇ Master touches Black Swan High (≥85, purple glow): BUY CLIMAX — buyers at a recent extreme, watch for exhaustion.
◇ Master touches Black Swan Low (≤15, aqua glow): SELL CLIMAX — capitulation, watch for reversal.
◇ Histogram green/red columns: immediate bar-by-bar directional read around the 50 centerline.
Reading the Legend Table
The antenna marker (📡) flags your chart's native timeframe — start there, then scan up/down to see whether faster/slower TFs confirm or contradict the directional bias. Compare Value (pressure strength), Raw (actual flow magnitude), and State (named classification) for each row. The status row summarizes MTF alignment between TF1 and TF5.
Reading Divergences
Master bear divergence (price up + CVD down) = rally on fading buy conviction, distribution warning. Master bull divergence (price down + CVD up) = selling exhausting, potential bottom. Per-TF divergences in the Div column give early granular warnings.
Tactical Combinations
◇ Master BUY CLIMAX + bear divergence + multiple TFs diverging = strongest reversal-from-high signal.
◇ Master SELL CLIMAX + bull divergence = strongest reversal-from-low signal.
◇ Master near 50 + all TFs near 50 + tight ghosts = absorption / coiling, often precedes a directional break.
◇ Triple confluence (the full family): RSI overbought + Volume EXTREME magnitude + CVD STRONG SELL = distribution at the top. RSI oversold + Volume EXTREME + CVD STRONG BUY = accumulation at the bottom. These three indicators answering momentum + magnitude + direction simultaneously is the strongest read the Rainbow Matrix family offers.

IMPORTANT NOTES
🔸 Pine Script v6 — uses request.security with lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off. 16 total security calls (5 CVD score + 5 per-TF divergence + supporting channel calculations). Chart load may take a moment longer than a single-TF indicator.
🔸 CLV approximation, not order-flow tick data — Directional pressure is approximated via the Close Location Value (where price closed within each bar's range), NOT real bid/ask order flow. Pine Script v6 has no tick-by-tick data access in indicator scripts. CLV is a more nuanced approximation than the binary tick rule used by most free-tier "delta" indicators, but it remains an approximation. For true order-flow delta, use dedicated footprint/order-flow tools.
🔸 Zero-centered scale — Unlike the percentile-rank siblings (RSI, Volume Delta Bar), this indicator's 50 is a TRUE neutral (zero net directional flow), not a historical median. This is intentional — direction is inherently signed, so a fixed zero-point is more meaningful than a regime-relative median.
🔸 Normalization warmup — During the first normalization_window bars on each TF, the rolling-max anchor (max_abs) is built from a small sample, so early bars may show exaggerated swings until the window fills. Normal warmup behavior for any rolling-window indicator.
🔸 Repaint behavior — Historical bars use confirmed close data; the current real-time bar updates as ticks arrive. Pivot-based divergence requires confirmation bars before triggering (standard pivot divergence behavior).
🔸 Fibonacci ratios are canonical — The channel proportions (1.50/1.85/2.75/3.85) and fusion weights (0.15/0.20/0.25/0.25/0.15) match the Rainbow Matrix brand standard across all sibling indicators, preserving cross-indicator visual consistency.

UNIQUENESS
Three pillars differentiate this from other CVD indicators on PulseWire:
1. Multi-timeframe CVD fusion with synchrony as a visual property. Most CVD tools run on a single timeframe. This indicator runs five, fuses them via Fibonacci weights, and expresses directional alignment as a rainbow density — solid when timeframes agree on direction, spread when they disagree. The cross-TF directional consensus becomes immediately readable.
2. True zero-centered scale with CLV weighting. The 50 midpoint is a mathematically meaningful neutral (zero net flow), not a regime-skewed median. And the directional weighting uses Close Location Value — capturing how decisively price closed within each bar's range — rather than the cruder binary tick rule. This combination produces a directional read that stays honest across structural trends.
3. Three complementary readings in one Legend Table, designed as a family. Value (pressure strength), Raw Flow (actual magnitude), and State (named classification) disambiguate a single timeframe's directional picture. And as the directional member of the Rainbow Matrix trio (alongside RSI for momentum and Volume Delta Bar for magnitude), it completes a three-dimensional read of any market: where price is, how big the move is, and who's winning.

Represents the upper boundary of the selected value area where the majority of trading activity occurred.
VAL (Value Area Low)
Represents the lower boundary of the selected value area.
Previous POC
Displays prior dominant participation levels for historical context.
Extended POC
Extends POC levels forward until price revisits or crosses through them, potentially highlighting important market interaction zones.
Extended Value Area Field
Projects the previous period's value area into future price action for additional context regarding acceptance and rejection zones.

Indicator
Candle Volume Decomposition [MarkitTick]💡 Standard volume analysis often falls short by presenting trading activity as a single, one-dimensional aggregate figure per period. This limitation obscures the true dynamics of market microstructure, leaving analysts guessing whether the volume was concentrated in the directional move of the body, or absorbed at the extremes as rejection wicks. This indicator reconstructs the volume profile of every single price candle by decomposing it into three distinct spatial zones: the Upper Wick, the Body, and the Lower Wick. By leveraging lower-timeframe data polling, it builds an intraday volume distribution for higher-timeframe candles, extracting critical insights such as Delta Pressure, Zone Concentration, Absorption, and Exhaustion, wrapping it all into an on-chart dashboard and advanced histogram.
✨ Originality and Utility
Most volume indicators attempt to map buying and selling pressure by looking at the close relative to the open or high/low range, applying a uniform formula to the entire bar's volume. This indicator breaks away from aggregate estimations by fetching strict lower-timeframe data and physically mapping it to the structural boundaries of the chart timeframe's candle.
The primary utility lies in its ability to reveal hidden liquidity mechanics. A candle with seemingly standard bullish volume might actually contain massive localized selling pressure entirely trapped within its upper wick. By isolating these zones, traders can definitively identify absorption, measure the efficiency of directional body moves, and detect localized exhaustion before price reverses. It effectively bridges the gap between basic volume bars and complex Order Flow footprint charts, delivering high-granularity data without requiring specialized tick-data feeds.
🔬 Methodology and Concepts
The script utilizes a lower timeframe polling array to dissect the current chart's candle structure. The mathematical methodology is broken down into the following core concepts:
Spatial Decomposition: The indicator calculates the precise price boundaries of the candle's body (Open to Close) and wicks (High to Body Top, Low to Body Bottom). As lower timeframe volume data is fed into the array, it allocates the volume proportionally based on where the lower timeframe price action occurred relative to the parent candle's zones.
Net Signed Volume: Instead of arbitrary coloring, the script calculates a net directional flow. Lower wick volume (demand/buying) is added, upper wick volume (supply/selling) is subtracted, and body volume is directionally signed based on whether the candle closed green or red.
Delta Pressure Index: A normalized ratio ranging from -1.0 to +1.0. It calculates the net difference between lower wick volume and upper wick volume relative to total volume. Positive values indicate demand dominance in the wicks, while negative values indicate supply dominance.
Volume Concentration (HHI): The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is adapted here to measure zone dominance. By squaring the volume ratios of all three zones and summing them, it provides a score from 0.33 (perfectly equal distribution) to 1.0 (a single zone contains 100% of the volume).
Absorption & Exhaustion: Absorption is modeled by combining high total wick volume with a compressed body range. Exhaustion is triggered mathematically when the total volume residing in the wicks exceeds the body volume multiplied by a user-defined threshold, signaling potential structural failure.
🎨 Visual Guide
The indicator's visual outputs are highly detailed, split between the main price pane and the indicator pane.
● Main Chart Elements
Price Candles: The standard price candles are dynamically colored and faded. By default, they use "Net Signed Volume" coloring, transitioning between Deep Teal (Bullish Net) and Deep Red (Bearish Net). Furthermore, the transparency of the candles is completely dynamic; candles with absolute directional dominance are fully opaque, while candles with weak or highly contested net volume become transparent.
Wick Exhaustion Highlight: A distinct purple background flash appears on specific bars where wick volume overwhelmingly eclipses body volume, visually alerting the user to structural exhaustion.
Divergence Labels: Small, precise text labels reading "Vol ▲Div" (Teal) or "Vol ▼Div" (Red) appear above or below candles when volume divergences are detected between the price trend and the total volume trend over the specified lookback period.
Dashboard Table: Positioned in the top right, this matrix provides real-time scoring. It displays block-meters and color-coded text for Delta Pressure, Dominant Zone, CVD Bias, Body Efficiency, Absorption Score, Wick Exhaustion status, Zone Concentration, and the exact percentage breakdown of the three spatial zones.
● Indicator Pane Elements
Stacked Volume Columns: When in standard mode, the volume histogram represents the true spatial distribution. The Lower Wick volume is plotted at the base in vivid Cyan. The Body volume is stacked on top in either Teal or Deep Red. The Upper Wick volume completes the stack in vivid Red.
Net Signed Columns: When toggled via settings, the histogram switches to a baseline-centered momentum oscillator, plotting the absolute Net Signed volume above or below the zero line, instantly revealing the true directional aggression of the period.
📖 How to Use
Traders can deploy this indicator to validate breakouts, confirm reversals, and manage risk through superior tape reading.
Validating Breakouts: When observing a breakout candle, refer to the Dashboard's "Body Efficiency" metric. A high efficiency score combined with an opaque body color indicates that the majority of the volume supported the directional move. Conversely, if a breakout candle prints a high "Absorption" score and high wick concentration, the move is likely being faded by larger market participants.
Trading Reversals: The purple background flash (Wick Exhaustion) is a prime leading indicator. When this occurs at a known support or resistance level, it mathematically confirms that counter-trend limit orders have successfully absorbed the aggressive volume, halting the candle's progression.
Monitoring Cumulative Pressure: The CVD Bias metric in the dashboard maintains a running sum of Net Signed Volume. If price is making higher highs but the CVD Bias flips to Bearish, a structural divergence is occurring, warning of an impending pullback.
Interpreting Asymmetry: Watch the dominant zone metrics. Continuous lower-wick dominance during a downtrend suggests accumulation, as market participants repeatedly buy the dips within the micro-structure of the falling candles.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
The script provides a modular architecture allowing users to tailor the calculations and visuals to their specific strategy requirements.
● Volume Profile & Display
Lower Timeframe: The critical input for data resolution. This must be set lower than the chart timeframe (e.g., 1-minute data for a 15-minute chart) to provide the necessary polling granularity.
Coloring Mode: Allows switching the price candles between "Net Signed Volume" (accounting for wick/body math), "Body Direction" (traditional close vs open), or turning it off entirely.
Dynamic Transparency: A toggle that maps the opacity of the price candles directly to the strength of the volume signal.
Signed Volume Mode: Toggles the indicator pane histogram between the 3-tier stacked spatial volume model and the zero-centered Net Signed Volume oscillator.
● Advanced Metrics & Dashboard
Metric Toggles: Users can individually enable or disable internal calculations for Delta Pressure, Asymmetry, CVD, Efficiency, Wick-to-Body Ratio, HHI, and Absorption to optimize performance or clear the data window.
Exhaustion Threshold: A float multiplier that determines how aggressive the wick volume must be compared to the body volume to trigger the purple background flash. Lowering this increases sensitivity.
Volume Divergence: Toggles the on-chart pivot detection, with a customizable "Lookback Bars" setting to determine the required span for identifying volume-price discrepancies.
🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
The theoretical foundation of this script is rooted in Market Microstructure and the mechanics of the Limit Order Book (LOB). Standard OHLC data suffers from temporal aggregation bias; it flattens the continuous auction process into discrete periods. By polling lower timeframe arrays, this indicator reconstructs the volume topology, mapping volume to price rather than just volume to time.
The integration of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is a direct cross-application from macroeconomics and antitrust law, where it is traditionally used to measure market share concentration. In this script, HHI is brilliantly applied to spatial volume analysis to determine the "monopoly" of trading activity within a single candle. An HHI approaching 1.0 mathematically proves severe localized liquidity consumption, indicating an inelastic supply or demand wall at that specific price node.
Furthermore, the Delta Pressure and Absorption calculations mirror the dynamics of liquidity provision vs. liquidity taking. When a candle expands its range, aggressive market orders are consuming passive limit orders (high body efficiency). When a candle prints high volume but compresses its body range, aggressive market orders are being entirely absorbed by a dense wall of resting limit liquidity (high wick volume, high absorption score). This indicator translates these complex order-matching mechanics into a digestible visual hierarchy.

Nocturne Auction Atlas [JOAT]Nocturne Auction Atlas
Introduction
Nocturne Auction Atlas is an open-source auction-mapping indicator that studies session VWAP, developing volume distribution, value areas, imbalance shelves, estimated CVD, divergence, and auction quality. It is designed to show where price is accepting value, rejecting value, or interacting with unfinished auction references.
Core Concepts
1. Session Auction Framework
The script resets during a new session and tracks session high, low, VWAP, and developing volume distribution.
2. Developing Volume Profile
Price is divided into rows. Each row accumulates estimated volume to identify the point of control, value area high, and value area low.
3. Estimated CVD
CVD is estimated from candle body position, close location, and volume. This is not exchange-level bid/ask data, but it provides a consistent pressure proxy.
4. Divergence Detection
Pivot-confirmed price swings are compared against estimated CVD swings to identify bullish or bearish divergence.
5. Imbalance Shelves
Rows with strong buy or sell imbalance are marked as auction shelves. These shelves can help identify areas where pressure was concentrated.
Features
Session VWAP and bands: Tracks intraday auction center and deviations
Developing profile: Builds POC and value area from recent session data
Imbalance shelves: Highlights rows with strong bid or ask imbalance
Estimated CVD: Uses candle-derived volume pressure
Divergence logic: Pivot-confirmed CVD divergence events
Naked POC memory: Tracks unfinished prior auction references
Dashboard: Shows auction state, quality, delta, POC, value area, and shelf state
Input Parameters
Session Bars Used controls how many bars feed the profile
Profile Rows controls profile granularity
Value Area controls the percentage of volume included in value
Quality Gate controls signal sensitivity
Shelf Gate controls imbalance shelf detection
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Read auction location
Use VWAP, POC, VAH, and VAL to understand whether price is trading near value or outside value.
Step 2: Watch shelves
Imbalance shelves identify price rows where estimated pressure was concentrated.
Step 3: Interpret divergences carefully
Divergence requires confirmed pivots and is naturally delayed. It is context, not a prediction.
Indicator Limitations
Profile calculations are approximations based on chart bars
CVD is estimated from candles and volume, not true bid/ask transactions
Pivot divergence confirms after pivot bars have passed
High row counts and long sessions can increase script workload
Originality Statement
Nocturne Auction Atlas combines session VWAP, developing profile rows, imbalance shelves, estimated CVD, divergence, and unfinished auction references into one chart framework. The components are designed to explain auction state rather than simply plot volume levels.
Disclaimer
This indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It is not financial advice. Auction references can fail, and volume approximations can differ from real order-flow data.

AGT LevelsAGT Levels is a custom volume-profile-based support and resistance tool designed to highlight key High Volume Nodes and Low Volume Nodes directly on your chart.
Instead of using standard horizontal levels, this indicator builds a full right-side volume profile from the same data used to calculate the levels. The profile is plotted to the right of price and faces back toward the chart, making it easier to see where volume has built up and where price may react.
The main idea is simple:
High Volume Nodes can act as areas where price accepts value, consolidates, or reacts strongly.
Low Volume Nodes can act as rejection zones, thin liquidity areas, or fast-move regions where price may move quickly through or reject from.
The indicator includes:
• Full right-side volume profile
• Up/down volume split inside the profile
• HVN and LVN level detection
• Major and minor level zones
• Adjustable sensitivity settings
• Adjustable profile offset
• Level zones extending from the volume profile
• Optional boxes, midlines, or both
• Alerts for level touches and rejections
The Sensitivity setting controls both the volume profile resolution and the level detection logic:
Conservative gives cleaner, broader levels.
Balanced gives a good all-round view.
Aggressive gives more granular levels and a more detailed profile.
This tool is designed to help traders identify important volume-based reaction zones, rather than relying only on traditional highs/lows or manually drawn support and resistance.
Best used together with your own market structure, session bias, VWAP, orderflow, or liquidity-based strategy.
This script does not predict future price movement. It is intended for technical analysis, backtesting, and educational use only.

Liquidity-Anchored Trailing Stop [BigBeluga]Liquidity-Anchored Trailing Stop is a comprehensive volatility and structural framework designed to provide a protective "heatmap" around price action. By fusing multi-layered ATR-based trailing logic with a dynamic Volume Profile, this indicator identifies where market momentum is accelerating and where institutional liquidity is "anchored."
Instead of a single line, this tool provides a graded risk-mitigation zone that adapts to market noise, ensuring you remain in the trend during healthy pullbacks while identifying the exact structural peaks where volume was most concentrated.
🔵 THE DUAL-ENGINE FRAMEWORK
Volatility Heatmap (Trailing Stop): The indicator calculates four distinct levels of trailing protection (Stop 1 through Stop 4). These are anchored to the trend’s direction and volatility, creating a "safety buffer" that narrows or expands based on the Average True Range (ATR).
Trend-Relative Volume Profile (Right Side): Unlike static volume profiles, this engine focuses specifically on the current trend segment. It visualizes the total relative volume transacted at each price bin since the last trend flip, highlighting where the real "meat" of the move occurred.
High Volume Nodes (HVNs): The script automatically detects peaks in the volume distribution. These High Volume Nodes represent structural anchors where the market has spent significant time, serving as high-probability zones for support or resistance.
🔵 CORE ARCHITECTURE
Liquidity Anchoring: By plotting HVN levels (Structural Peaks), the indicator shows you exactly where liquidity is sitting. When a trailing stop aligns with a volume peak, it creates a "Hard Anchor"—a level that is significantly harder for price to break through.
Adaptive Stop Logic: The trailing stops (ts1-ts4) use a ratchet mechanism. In an uptrend, the stops only move up; in a downtrend, they only move down. This prevents the "stop-loss creep" that often leads to giving back profits.
Dynamic Gradient Heatmap: The space between the four trailing bands is filled with a color-coded gradient. Saturated colors represent the core trend, while the outer bands represent the "exhaustion zone" where the trend is at risk of structural failure.
🔵 FEATURES
Granular Profile Rows: Fully adjustable vertical resolution (Profile Rows) allows you to define how detailed you want the volume distribution to be, ranging from broad structural areas to precise price levels.
Peak Level Detection: Horizontal structural lines are automatically drawn across the trend range at major HVNs, providing immediate visual targets and pivot points.
Smart Trend Labels: Clean UI labels (Bull/Bear) mark the exact bar where the trend flips and the volatility bands reset, ensuring you never miss a shift in market regime.
Visual Clarity Toggle: Includes options to show or hide the Volume Profile and Peak Levels, allowing you to use the tool as a pure volatility stop or a full-scale market structure map.
🔵 STRATEGIC APPLICATION
Trailing with the Heatmap: Use the innermost band (Stop 1) for aggressive scalping or tight management, and the outermost band (Stop 4) for macro trend following. If price closes beyond Stop 4, the trend is officially considered "broken."
HVN Confluence: Look for instances where the Trailing Stop aligns with a High Volume Node. These "Anchored Stops" are the most robust areas to place your actual exchange orders, as they are backed by both volatility and historical volume.
Volatility Breakouts: When the ATR bands (Heatmap) contract significantly and then price breaks out, look to the Volume Profile to see if the breakout is supported by a surge in volume at the new price bins.
Targeting Structural Peaks: In a trending market, use the volume peaks on the right side of the chart as natural take-profit targets or areas to expect temporary price stalls.
Liquidity-Anchored Trailing Stop transforms traditional stop-loss logic into a multi-dimensional map of risk and liquidity. By understanding where volume is anchored and how volatility is breathing, you can stay in winning trades longer and exit with precision when the structure finally fails. Indicator
Session Volume Profile - Open Source [CantoLab]Volume Profile is a charting study that displays trading activity over specific time periods at various price levels. It appears as a horizontal histogram on the chart, revealing where traders have shown the most interest based on volume concentration.
This Volume Profile automatically anchors to user-selected timeframes, creating fresh volume analysis for each new period while maintaining clean, systematic visualization of price-volume relationships.
Core Components:
Point of Control (POC): The price level with the highest volume activity during the selected period, marked with a yellow line and left-side label.
Value Area High/Low (VAH/VAL): Price boundaries that contain a specified percentage of the total volume (default 40%), helping identify the main trading range where most activity occurred.
Volume Histogram: Left-aligned bars showing volume distribution across price levels, with value area highlighting for enhanced visual clarity.
Key Features:
- Automatic Period Detection: Supports hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly timeframe anchoring
- Customizable Granularity: Adjustable rows (10-500) for different price resolution needs
- Labels: Clear POC, VAH, and VAL identification positioned at profile start
- Toggle Controls**: Optional display for volume rows, key levels, and background fills
- Clean Visualization: Profiles reset automatically at each new period for current market focus
Display Options:
- Profile Rows: Show/hide the volume histogram bars
- Key Level Lines: Individual controls for POC, VAH, and VAL display
- Value Area Background: Optional shading between VAH and VAL levels
- Color Customization: Separate color controls for all visual elements
The indicator provides systematic volume analysis by creating fresh profiles at regular intervals, helping traders identify significant price levels and volume patterns within their preferred timeframe structure.

Auction Lattice Reserve [JOAT]Auction Lattice Reserve
Introduction
Auction Lattice Reserve is an open-source auction-context indicator built to classify where price is trading relative to accepted value. It maps a fixed-lookback volume distribution, calculates Point of Control and Value Area boundaries, scores the current auction state, and then projects that information back onto the chart using profile slices, equilibrium bands, acceptance boxes, and an optional confirmed-bar TP/SL scaffold.
The main problem this script solves is location. Many directional tools can detect trend, but they do not explain whether price is trading above value, below value, or rotating around equilibrium. Auction Lattice Reserve provides that context directly from a rolling auction profile and combines it with trend and volume expansion scoring so the user can distinguish balance, markup, and distribution states.
Core Concepts
1. Fixed-Range Auction Profile
The script scans a configurable lookback window, divides the price span into bins, and apportions each candle's volume into the bins it overlaps. This creates a rolling distribution of where volume was accepted:
int firstBin = math.max(0, math.min(auctionBins - 1, math.floor((localLow - auctionLow) / auctionBin)))
int lastBin = math.max(0, math.min(auctionBins - 1, math.floor((localHigh - auctionLow) / auctionBin)))
2. Point of Control and Value Area
The highest-volume bin becomes the Point of Control. Value Area is expanded outward from the POC until the chosen percentage of total profile volume is captured. This makes the script useful for identifying accepted value and dislocation:
auctionPoc := auctionLow + (auctionPocBin + 0.5) * auctionBin
auctionVaLow := auctionLow + leftBin * auctionBin
auctionVaHigh := auctionLow + (rightBin + 1.0) * auctionBin
3. Auction State Scoring
The indicator does not rely on value alone. It blends distance from POC, trend spread, and short-vs-long volume expansion into an auction score. This creates a more robust state engine than simply checking whether price is above or below the value area.
4. Acceptance and Rejection Context
Price trading outside the value area for consecutive confirmed bars is treated as accepted migration rather than a brief probe. When acceptance is confirmed, the script can project an acceptance box forward and optionally build a TP/SL ladder from the event.
5. Institutional Visualization
The script uses right-side profile slices, layered clouds around value, an equilibrium band, candle-state coloring, and a compact top-right dashboard instead of retail-style arrows or decorative markers.
Features
Rolling auction profile: Fixed-lookback volume profile rendered at the right edge of the chart
Point of Control and Value Area: POC, VA High, and VA Low plotted directly on price
Auction score: Blends volume expansion, trend spread, and distance from equilibrium
Equilibrium band: Mid-band around POC for visual balance context
Acceptance boxes: Forward-projected boxes when price confirms value acceptance above or below the value area
Optional TP/SL scaffold: Confirmed-bar entry, stop, TP1, TP2, TP3 rails with risk/reward fill
Top-right dashboard: Shows current state, POC, value location, volume pressure, trend, and score
Dark-mode visual design: Layered teal, rose, and gold tones tailored to auction concepts
How to Use This Indicator
Step 1: Check whether price is above value, below value, or inside value.
Step 2: Review the auction score and dashboard state. Strong positive values indicate markup pressure. Strong negative values indicate distribution or liquidation pressure.
Step 3: Watch for acceptance boxes. These show that price is no longer only probing value but may be migrating to a new area of acceptance.
Step 4: Use the optional TP/SL scaffold only as a contextual planning aid. It is not a promise of outcome.
Indicator Limitations
Because the profile is rolling, value levels adapt over time and are not static
A short lookback can make the auction map overly sensitive in volatile markets
Acceptance logic requires confirmed bars, so some moves will already be underway when the state changes
The TP/SL scaffold is informational and does not execute trades
Originality Statement
Auction Lattice Reserve is original in the way it combines a rolling auction profile, an equilibrium band, value-acceptance migration logic, and an institutional-style execution scaffold into one open-source indicator. The publication is intended to provide a reusable context layer for traders who want value-based location rather than a standalone entry system.

Indicator
Prime Volume Profile + Liquidity HeatmapThis indicator is designed to provide a clear, institutional-style view of market structure and liquidity distribution, combining a fully customizable Volume Profile with a dynamic Liquidity Heatmap.
It operates on a daily basis, automatically resetting at the start of each new trading day to ensure that all calculations reflect fresh, relevant market data.
🔍 Core Features
• Customizable Volume Profile (Daily)
The indicator builds a high-resolution Volume Profile for the current trading day, allowing traders to visualize where trading activity has been most concentrated.
It highlights three key levels:
POC (Point of Control) – the price level with the highest traded volume during the day. This represents the area where the market has found the strongest agreement between buyers and sellers.
VAH (Value Area High) – the upper boundary of the value area, where approximately 70% of the day’s total volume has been traded.
VAL (Value Area Low) – the lower boundary of the value area, completing the range in which most trading activity has occurred.
These levels are recalculated in real time and reset daily, making them highly relevant for intraday and scalping strategies.
• Liquidity Heatmap
In addition to the volume profile, the indicator provides a visual heatmap of recent liquidity.
Areas with higher intensity represent zones where a significant amount of volume has been transacted.
More transparent zones indicate low participation or “empty” areas in the market.
This allows traders to quickly identify:
Where liquidity is concentrated
Where price is more likely to react
Where inefficiencies or low-interest zones exist
🧠 Understanding Liquidity
In trading, liquidity refers to the amount of buy and sell orders available at specific price levels.
High liquidity zones:
Attract price like a magnet
Often act as support/resistance
Are commonly revisited by the market
Low liquidity zones:
Allow price to move quickly
Often result in sharp, impulsive moves
Understanding liquidity helps traders interpret why price moves, not just where it moves.
⚙️ How to Use This Indicator
This tool is best used as a confirmation layer within a broader trading strategy.
Common use cases:
POC as a magnet
Price often gravitates toward the Point of Control. Traders monitor reactions around this level for mean reversion or continuation setups.
VAH / VAL as reaction zones
These levels can act as dynamic support and resistance.
Breakouts or rejections around these zones can signal potential trade opportunities.
Heatmap for execution timing
Use the liquidity heatmap to identify:
High-interest zones for entries or exits
Low-liquidity areas where price may move quickly
⚠️ Important Disclaimer
This indicator is not financial advice and does not provide direct buy or sell signals.
It is intended to be used as a decision-support tool, ideally in combination with:
Price action analysis
Market structure
Other indicators or trading strategies
🎯 Summary
This indicator gives you a real-time map of market participation, helping you understand:
Where volume is concentrated
Where liquidity is sitting
Where price is likely to react
Used correctly, it provides a significant informational edge, especially for intraday and short-term traders. Indicator
