Volume profile zonesHi all!
This script calculates and shows the volume profile for the range of a higher timeframe candle. It then shows support or resistance (/supply or demand) zones based on the volume profiles with the most volume. The defaults are just my preferred settings so feel free to play with them! Also feel free to let me know about bugs and features. I already have a list of features to make, e.g.:
base on pivots
more info zone calculations, e.g. breaks and retests, virgin point of control etc.
add alerts
get rid of getPriceLevels()
get rid of _barVolumeProfile prefix
handle realtime
...
Best of trading luck!

Volume Analysis*Sourced code from Volume Flow v3 by oh92 for Bull\Bear volume flow calculations. Thank you so much for your engineering skills!
This indicator integrates the Ma-over-MA crossover strategy in oh92's V3 DepthHouse calculation with a volume-over-MA
calculation to further narrow down "Areas of Interest" levels for a potential re-test zone to the right of the chart.
I added a Moving Average calculation for a multi-level cloud and further broke down more conditions to highlight both
volume flow crossover on the High and Extreme High MA's and also high and extreme high volume spikes on set period average
without bull\bear conditions. Original Bull/Bear Spikes are still viewable although that was the only plot from oh92's script
that was integrated.
Session backgrounds set for research purposes.
Please note: Setting MA Cloud to "None" will remove all plots calculated with the MA Cloud from the chart entirely. Turn off visuals
in the Style tab.
Heiken Ashi Smoothed Net VolumeThis indicator attempts to use Heiken Ashi calculations to smooth the Volume net histogram indicator by RafaelZioni. Long above zero line, short below zero line.
Candle Color by VolumeA simple but effective indicator that paints candles with different shades of colors based on the volume transacted.
-> Supports 6 levels of sensitivity at present. Might enhance the granularity later.
-> Darkest indicates the most volume transacted. Lightest, the least. Change it around however you see fit and based on your theme.
-> Use it for your Volume Spread Analysis and/or in conjunction with any other strategies that you employ.
-> Note that the volume ratio is calculated relative to the average volume of the last n candles ( EMA 20 by default).
Volume Breakout (ValueRay)Easy visuals on, if volume is way over average. Good for Mean Reverting. Higher Volume tends to higher breakout chances.
Please whisper me for for ideas how to make this better. Its a very simple script, but got some alpha. If you know how to improve, let me know and i will code it into.
Time Segmented Volume BandsTime Segmented Volume Bands
This time I took as a basis TSV - Time Segmented Volume, a rather rare one, almost never mentioned on TradingView.
TSV is a leading indicator because its movement is based on both the movement of the stock price and its volume. Ideal entry and exit points are usually found when a stock moves through a baseline. This indicator is similar to the more well-known balance volume (OBV) because it measures the amount of money flowing in or out of a particular stock.
What is their main difference between TSV and OBV?
Time Segmented Volume is used to eliminate distortions of the standard volume graph. OBV is based on cumulative total volume, while TSV compares the current time period with the previous one, without a subtotal.
What I added on my own script
Bands, similar to Bollinger. The main idea is to have an idea of the average inflow and outflow of volumes from / to shares for a particular period. We have an opportunity to estimate how much the current volumes differ from the average for 60 days (all values can be flexibly adjusted).
Excess markers by the current average volume (sensitivity can be adjusted separately).
A table that calculates the total sentiment (force) of volume on average for N periods in comparison with the current one.
Sell/buy markers
How to read a TSV graph
The main graph is a histogram. Green bars mean an inflow of volume, red bars mean an outflow. When the red volume crosses the baseline zero, it is considered a buy signal (in the classic TSV version). A similar sell signal - just the opposite. I highlight them with a colored background fill.
It is especially important to find divergences on the chart. For example, when the volume peaks getting lower but the price rises (short).
The yellow line is the average TSV for 7 periods. Just a smoother lagging line.
Blue stripes. Above - the average inflow of volumes over N periods (44 days). Below - the average outflow.
Markers are additional buy / sell signals generated when the current TSV value exceeds the average for N periods. In the script settings, you can choose how many percent deviations from the average should occur in order to count it as a strong signal (by default, an excess of 180% for selling, 100% for buying). The main idea of the marker is to catch a better price than with the standard TSV logic (take at the intersection of the zero line). The marker can serve as both an assistant and drive into a trap. If you are not very confident, then it is better to adhere to standard practice, and set the excess of markers to completely abnormal situations, so that it triggers less often.
Colored background - a classic buy or sell zone (when crossing the TSV baseline).
Table - you can configure its presence and size in the settings. On it you can estimate the sentiment of the movement of money for the last N periods. Pay particular attention to the % value in parentheses. It shows the strength of the trend in volumes over N periods.
The basic rule, as with any trend indicator: do not trade against the trend. A sell signal in a constantly rising channel is not a short signal. This is a signal for a possible fixation of a part of the position. No more.
How do I use this indicator?
For starters, I never make decisions purely based on an indicator. TSV plays the role of a clearer visualization of volumes for me. If I see that the volumes are fading away (thin market), then I try not to enter the trade. For the last two weeks, while picking charts, I completely abandoned standard volume bars in favor of TSV due to it's greater informative.
Welkin Advanced Volume Overlay (for VSA)This is a PineScript translation of Welkin's Advanced Volume Indicator Overlay, originally written for ThinkOrSwim. This tool is designed to facilitate Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) by highlighting areas of above average volume alongside price movement.
This indicator does two things:
1. Plots lines that extend from candles of above average, high, and very high volume.
2. Colors in candles with colors indicating volume levels (when "Paint Candles With Volume Colors" is enabled).
Blue lines mark candles with Average volume, based on a 20 SMA.
Orange lines mark 2-sigma (2 times standard deviations higher) volume.
Magenta lines mark 3-sigma (3 times standard deviations higher) volume.
When enabled, gray colored candles indicate below average volume.
Yellow candles indicate volume that is relatively higher than the previous candle, default is 1.25x.
Volumetric Pivot Echo🔮 Volumetric Pivot Echo (VPE)
Future Price Projection Zones with Confidence Scoring
📘 Overview
The Volumetric Pivot Echo (VPE) is a next-generation leading indicator that identifies high-volume reversal points and echoes their price + time behavior into the future — giving you a visual forecast box that includes a confidence score, price range, and duration estimate.
It’s designed for swing and options traders who want forward guidance based on real structure, not just reactive signals.
⚙️ How It Works
Pivot Detection – Finds pivot highs/lows based on configurable bar structure.
Volume Confirmation – Only confirms pivots backed by strong volume (e.g., 1.5× average).
Echo Logic – Measures the price move and time it took to reach the pivot.
ATR Scaling – Adjusts projections based on current market volatility.
Confidence Score – Rates each projection (0–100%) based on structure match, volatility, and direction alignment.
📦 What Appears on Chart
Projection Box:
A forward-drawn rectangle from the current bar to the estimated future zone. The box's size and duration mirror the last valid momentum leg.
Box Label Text:
🔹 Range (projected move size)
⏱️ Duration (bars expected)
✅ Confidence %
VPH/VPL Markers:
Pivot highs and lows confirmed by volume, marked with “VPH” or “VPL”.
🎯 How to Trade with It
Use the box as a target zone for directional trades.
If price enters a box with >85% confidence, consider it a high-quality path projection.
Use with support/resistance confluence or entry systems.
Works especially well for swing trading, breakout setups, or options targeting.
🛠️ Recommended Settings
Box Transparency: Set Projection Up/Down Color to 90 (10% visible).
Text Color: Set to white for readability.
Volume Multiplier: Default 1.5x, increase in choppy markets.
Projection Duration: Start with 1.0x echo multiplier and fine-tune.
⏳ Timeframes & Accuracy
Timeframe Confidence Zones Most Reliable
15m – 1h Use 70–85% confidence scores
1h – 4h Sweet spot for balanced signals
1D – 1W Strongest historical echo tracking (>85% ideal)
✅ Key Features
Forward-looking, non-repainting logic
Clear visual projections — no guesswork
Confidence scoring built-in
ATR-adjusted — adapts to volatility
Works on any asset (stocks, crypto, FX)
🧠 Why It’s Unique
This is not a lagging oscillator or classic trend-following tool.
It’s a leading structure projection model — combining pivot behavior, volume intensity, and market volatility to sketch forward “echo zones” based on the past.
Volume Weighted Sign ChangeThe VWSCI measures the relationship between price reversals and volume. Specifically, it calculates the proportion of total volume in a given window that occurs at bars where the price changes direction—i.e., where the price difference switches from positive to negative or vice versa, indicating a local maximum or minimum.
• Low VWSCI values (close to 0) suggest that little volume is associated with price reversals, which typically occurs in strong trending markets where price moves consistently in one direction with high volume, and pullbacks (if any) occur on low volume.
• High VWSCI values (closer to 100) indicate that a significant portion of the volume is tied to price turning points, which is characteristic of a ranging or choppy market with frequent reversals.
This approach combines price action (via sign changes in price differences) and volume, offering a novel twist on traditional momentum or volume-based indicators like RSI, OBV, or the Volume-Price Trend.
Volume Trend Signals | iSolani
Volume Trend Signals | iSolani: Syncing Price Momentum with Volume Confirmation
In the dance between price action and volume, discerning true trend commitment requires seeing how institutional players vote with their capital. The Volume Trend Signals | iSolani illuminates this interplay by generating precise crossover signals when volume-accelerated price movements gain sustained traction. Unlike conventional volume oscillators, it employs a two-layered confirmation system —blending volatility-adjusted thresholds with adaptive smoothing—to spotlight high-probability entries aligned with smart-money activity.
Core Methodology
The indicator executes a five-phase process to filter meaningful trends:
Logarithmic Price Scaling: Measures percentage-based price changes via HLC3 typical price, reducing large-value bias in volatile markets.
Volatility Dynamic Filter: Uses a 30-bar standard deviation of price changes, scaled by user sensitivity (default 2x), to set momentum thresholds.
Volume Governance: Caps raw volume at 3x its 40-bar SMA, neutralizing outlier spikes while preserving institutional footprints.
Directional Flow Accumulation: Sums volume as positive/negative based on whether price movement breaches volatility-derived boundaries.
Signal Refinement: Smooths the Volume Flow Indicator (VFI) with a 3-bar SMA, then triggers alerts via crosses over a 20-bar EMA signal line.
Breaking New Ground
This tool introduces three evolutionary improvements over traditional volume indicators:
EMA Convergence Signals: Unlike basic zero-cross systems, it requires VFI to overtake its own EMA, confirming sustained momentum shifts.
Context-Aware Volume: The 3x volume cap adapts to current market activity, preventing false signals during news-driven liquidity spikes.
Minimalist Visual Alerts: Uses and symbols below/above candles, reducing chart clutter while emphasizing pivotal moments.
Engine Under the Hood
The script’s logic flows through four computational stages:
Data Conditioning: Computes HLC3 and its log-based rate of change for normalized price analysis.
Threshold Calibration: Derives dynamic entry/exit levels from 30-period volatility multiplied by user sensitivity.
Volume Processing: Filters and signs volume based on price meeting threshold criteria.
Signal Generation: Triggers buy/sell labels when the 3-bar SMA of cumulative flow crosses the 20-bar EMA.
Standard Configuration
Optimized defaults balance responsiveness and reliability:
VFI Length: 40-bar accumulation window
Sensitivity: 2.0 (double the volatility-derived threshold)
Signal Smoothing: 20-bar EMA
Volume Cap: 3x average (hidden parameter)
Smoothing: Enabled (3-bar SMA on VFI)
By fusing adaptive volume filtering with EMA-confirmed momentum, the Volume Trend Signals | iSolani cuts through market noise to reveal institutional-grade trend inflection points. Its unique crossover logic—prioritizing confirmation over speed—makes it particularly effective in swing trading and trend-following strategies across equities, commodities, and forex markets.
Intraday Volume### Intraday Volume Indicator Explanation
--- this was Mostly created by OpenAI ChatGPT --- it's pretty good!
--- My Commentary: One of the problems I find is with Volume is - it is skewed by the overwhelming volume around the Open and Close. So, as an experiment, I asked ChatGPT to create an indicator to plot the volume everywhere BUT the open.
I added in the CandleColor() function and set the times.
I also changed the Intraday Volume calculation from Cumulative to live.
still Chat GPT - did about 90% of the heavy lift! And, wrote the summary !
----
The "Intraday Volume" indicator is a custom script designed for use on the TradingView platform. It provides a visual representation of the total accumulated trading volume during the intraday trading session, specifically between the market open and close times. Below is a detailed explanation of its functionality:
#### **Key Features:**
1. **Session Times:**
- The indicator defines the intraday session as the period between 9:30 AM EST (market open) and 4:00 PM EST (market close).
- It uses the `timestamp` function to set these times dynamically for each trading day.
2. **Intraday Volume Calculation:**
- During the defined intraday session, the indicator accumulates the trading volume from each bar (candlestick).
- Outside the intraday session, the volume is reset to `na` (not available) to ensure only intraday data is plotted.
3. **Plotting the Volume:**
- The accumulated intraday volume is plotted as a blue column chart in a separate pane below the price chart.
- This provides a clear visualization of how the trading volume evolves throughout the trading session.
4. **Horizontal Reference Line:**
- A horizontal line is added at zero as a visual reference, making it easier to interpret the volume data.
#### **Use Cases:**
- **Volume Analysis:**
- Traders can use the indicator to identify periods of high or low trading activity during the intraday session.
- Peaks in the volume chart may correspond to key market events, such as news releases or significant price movements.
- **Trend Confirmation:**
- Comparing intraday volume with price action can help traders confirm the strength of a trend or the likelihood of a reversal.
- **Custom Time Frames:**
- Although this script is tailored for regular U.S. market hours, it can be adapted for other markets or time zones by modifying the session times.
#### **Customization:**
- **Colors and Styles:**
- The plot color (blue) and style (columns) can be customized to suit user preferences.
- **Session Times:**
- Users can change the session start and end times to match their trading needs or regional market hours.
This indicator is especially useful for intraday traders seeking insights into trading volume dynamics within the trading day. By visualizing the intraday volume, traders can gain a deeper understanding of market behavior and make informed decisions.

KillZones & Sessions [TradingFinder] Volume | Asia, London & NY🔵 Introduction
🟣 Session
The forex market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, with only Saturdays and Sundays being off; traders often focus on one of the forex trading sessions instead of trying to trade in all markets 24 hours a day.
Trading sessions are time intervals during which a specific financial market is active and trades are conducted. The Asia, London, and New York sessions are the most important trading sessions throughout the 24-hour period, during which a significant amount of money and liquidity enters the market.
🟣 Kill Zone
Traders in financial markets profit from the difference between the price at which they buy or sell and the current market price. Traders have different time horizons for trading.
Among these, some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading and must operate during times when the market has desirable trading volumes and significant price movements.
Kill zones are segments of a session with higher trading volumes and price fluctuations compared to the rest of the session.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Session Time
The "Asia Session" consists of two sessions: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." The beginning of this session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 23:00 and ends at 06:00. Similarly, the beginning of the "Asia KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 23:00, and it ends at 03:55.
The "London Session" consists of two sessions: "Frankfurt" and "London." The beginning of this session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 07:00, and it ends at 14:25. Similarly, the beginning of the "London KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 07:00, and it ends at 09:55.
The beginning of the "New York am" session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 14:30, and it ends at 19:25. Similarly, the beginning of the "New York am KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 14:30, and it ends at 16:55.
The beginning of the "New York pm" session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 19:30, and it ends at 22:55. Similarly, the beginning of the "New York pm KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 19:30, and it ends at 20:55.
Important : To prevent session overlap, the working hours of each session have slightly changed.
🔵 Features
🟣 Simultaneous Session and Kill Zone

Deep Volume [ChartPrime]Deep Volume is an indicator designed to give you high fidelity volume information. It does this by utilizing real time data provided by Tradingview to generate a wide range of metrics. We have included a convenient column chart to visualize the polarity of the volume, and a table to see the real time data. This works by utilizing pine script's varip feature to get information within candles. This is convenient as it allows users to get lower time frame information without the use of ltf functions. The result is seconds level data with out the need to be on a lower time frame chart. As a result, as you increase the time frame of the chart the updates will become slower. This is because Tradingview doesn't update the chart information as frequently on higher time frames as there isn't as much of a need.
This indicator works on real time data so to compensate for this we generate a simulated history based on candle structure. This helps in estimating the state of the moving average before the real time data starts. As a result the estimated history isn't as accurate and should be treated as such. That being said it is nice to have an estimation when the indicator is first loaded onto the chart.
Finally we have included a cumulative volume comparison that shows you how much volume there is compared to the average cumulative volume for the day. This metric utilizes a gradient to help you interpret the information at a glance. Low daily volume is represented with grays by default, while normal volume and greater is represented with a green color by default.
The table is partitioned into two sections; tick data, and average data. On the left you will see color coded information based on the direction of the move. On the left, the information is color coded based on the average movement direction. You can control how much information is displayed in the table within the indicators settings. This is defaulted to 20 but it can be as long or short as you like. Every new candle open the far left of the table you will see a 🗘 symbol and at the start of a new session you will see a 🗓 symbol.
The included metrics are as follows:
Time: This displays the time of the real time data update.
Time Delta: This displays the elapsed time between updates.
Order Size: This is the volume times the price change between updates.
Volume: This is the volume change for the update.
Price Change: This is the change in price since the last update.
Price: This is the price of the asset at the time of the update.
Speed of Tape: This is the average time delta. Use this to see how quickly the market is moving.
Average Order Size: This is the average order size.
Average Volume: This is the average volume
Volume Ratio: This the the ratio of bullish to bearish volume as expressed by a percent. 100% is all bullish within the window and -100% is all bearish within the window.
Average Price Change: This is the average price change within the window.
Sensitivity: This is a volatility metric designed to show you the price change per 1 volume unit.
Relative Sensitivity: This is a volatility metric designed to show you the average price change per average volume.

Filtered Volume Profile [ChartPrime]The "Filtered Volume Profile" is a powerful tool that offers insights into market activity. It's a technical analysis tool used to understand the behavior of financial markets. It uses a fixed range volume profile to provide a histogram representing how much volume occurred at distinct price levels.
Profile in action with various significant levels displayed
How to Use
The script is designed to analyze cumulative trading volumes in different price bins over a certain period, also known as `'lookback'`. This lookback period can be defined by the user and it represents the number of bars to look back for calculating levels of support and resistance.
The `'Smoothing'` input determines the degree to which the output is smoothed. Higher values lead to smoother results but may impede the responsiveness of the indicator to rapid changes in volatility.
The `'Peak Sensitivity'` input is used to adjust the sensitivity of the script's peak detection algorithm. Setting this to a lower value makes the algorithm more sensitive to local changes in trading volume and may result in "noisier" outputs.
The `'Peak Threshold'` input specifies the number of bins that the peak detection mechanism should account for. Larger numbers imply that more volume bins are taken into account, and the resultant peaks are based on wider intervals.
The `'Mean Score Length'` input is used for scaling the mean score range. This is particularly important in defining the length of lookback bars that will be used to calculate the average close price.
Sinc Filter
The application of the sinc-filter to the Filtered Volume Profile reduces the risk of viewing artefacts that may misrepresent the underlying market behavior. Sinc filtering is a high-quality and sharp filter that doesn't manifest any ringing effects, making it an optimal choice for such volume profiling.
Histogram
On the histogram, the volume profile is colored based on the balance of bullish to bearish volume. If a particular bar is more intense in color, it represents a larger than usual volume during a single price bar. This is a clear signal of a strong buying or selling pressure at a particular price level.
Threshold for Peaks
The `peak_thresh` input determines the number of bins the algorithm takes in account for the peak detection feature. The 'peak' represents the level where a significant amount of volume trading has occurred, and usually is of interest as an indicative of support or resistance level.
By increasing the `peak_thresh`, you're raising the bar for what the algorithm perceives as a peak. This could result in fewer, but more significant peaks being identified.
History of Volume Profiles and Evolution into Sinc Filtering
Volume profiling has a rich history in market analysis, dating back to the 1950s when Richard D. Wyckoff, a legendary trader, introduced the concept of volume studies. He understood the critical significance of volume and its relationship with market price movement. The core of Wyckoff's technical analysis suite was the relationship between prices and volume, often termed as "Effort vs Results".
Moving forward, in the early 1800s, the esteemed mathematician J. R. Carson made key improvements to the sinc function, which formed the basis for sinc filtering application in time series data. Following these contributions, trading studies continued to create and integrate more advanced statistical measures into market analysis.
This culminated in the 1980s with J. Peter Steidlmayer’s introduction of Market Profile. He suggested that markets were a function of continuous two-way auction processes thus introducing the concept of viewing markets in price/time continuum and price distribution forms. Steidlmayer's Market Profile was the first wide-scale operation of organized volume and price data.
However, despite the introduction of such features, challenges in the analysis persisted, especially due to noise that could misinform trading decisions. This gap has given rise to the need for smoothing functions to help eliminate the noise and better interpret the data. Among such techniques, the sinc filter has become widely recognized within the trading community.
The sinc filter, because of its properties of constructing a smooth passing through all data points precisely and its ability to eliminate high-frequency noise, has been considered a natural transition in the evolution of volume profile strategies. The superior ability of the sinc filter to reduce noise and shield against over-fitting makes it an ideal choice for smoothing purposes in trading scripts, particularly where volume profiling forms the crux of the market analysis strategy, such as in Filtered Volume Profile.
Moving ahead, the use of volume-based studies seems likely to remain a core part of technical analysis. As long as markets operate based on supply and demand principles, understanding volume will remain key to discerning the intent behind price movements. And with the incorporation of advanced methods like sinc filtering, the accuracy and insight provided by these methodologies will only improve.
Mean Score
The mean score in the Filtered Volume Profile script plays an important role in probabilistic inferences regarding future price direction. This score essentially characterizes the statistical likelihood of price trends based on historical data.
The mean score is calculated over a configurable `'Mean Score Length'`. This variable sets the window or the timeframe for calculation of the mean score of the closing prices.
Statistically, this score takes advantage of the concept of z-scores and probabilities associated with the t-distribution (a type of probability distribution that is symmetric and bell-shaped, just like the standard normal distribution, but has heavier tails).
The z-score represents how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. In this case, the "element" is the price level (Point of Control).
The mean score section of the script calculates standard errors for the root mean squared error (RMSE) and addresses the uncertainty in the prediction of the future value of a random variable.
The RMSE of a model prediction concerning observed values is used to measure the differences between values predicted by a model and the values observed.
The lower the RMSE, the better the model is able to predict. A zero RMSE means a perfect fit to the data. In essence, it's a measure of how concentrated the data is around the line of best fit.
Through the mean score, the script effectively predicts the likelihood of the future close price being above or below our identified price level.
Summary
Filtered Volume Profile is a comprehensive trading view indicator which utilizes volume profiling, peak detection, mean score computations, and sinc-filter smoothing, altogether providing the finer details of market behavior.
It offers a customizable look back period, smoothing options, and peak sensitivity setting along with a uniquely set peak threshold. The application of the Sinc Filter ensures a high level of accuracy and noise reduction in volume profiling, making this script a reliable tool for gaining market insights.
Furthermore, the use of mean score calculations provides probabilistic insights into price movements, thus providing traders with a statistically sound foundation for their trading decisions. As trading markets advance, the use of such methodologies plays a pivotal role in formulating effective trading strategies and the Filtered Volume Profile is a successful embodiment of such advancements in the field of market analysis.
Price Range Volume Profile [Pt]█ Introduction
The Price Range Volume Profile (PRVP) is a revolutionary indicator. This tool stands out from its peers due to its unique ability to capture the entire price chart history, thus providing a comprehensive volume profile of the entire asset's trading history, as available on TradingView chart. It's worth noting that I believe this tool is the first of its kind to accomplish such a feat. A much recommended tool if you are a volume profile trader.
█ Main Features
► Historical Lookback: This feature dives deep into the past, grasping all the historical data of an asset. It's equipped to handle up to 20,000 bars, although users without a premium TradingView account are advised to keep it at a maximum of 10,000 bars, or just use the "Full Historical Lookback" feature.
► Volume Profile / POC: Displays the distribution of volume across price levels for the selected price range. The Point of Control (POC), which is the price level with the highest traded volume, is also highlighted.
► Customization: Users have the flexibility to adjust the profile's appearance, including profile width, horizontal offset, and the option to fill the background of the profile range.
► Time Weighting: This feature allows users to give more weight to recent trading activity, which can be especially useful for intraday traders or during times of high volatility. Note that this feature will impact the volume profile and POC level.
► Settings Table: A settings table is displayed on the chart for users to quickly reference their input parameters.
█ Input Parameters
► Lookback Timeframe: Determines the period for which the volume profile is generated.
► Price Range: The percentage distance to consider for the profile, adjusted above and below the current closing price.
► Profile Step size: The granularity of the volume profile. Users can opt for automatic step size based on a predefined calculation or set their preferred tick step size.
► Historical Bars Lookback: Determines the number of bars to include in the volume profile calculation.
► Profile Visuals: Adjust the appearance and layout of the volume profile on the chart.
► Extra: Additional settings including the display of a settings table and its location.
█ Basic Understanding of Volume Profile - How to use PRVP?
Volume Profile is a valuable tool for traders who want insights into where the majority of trading activity has occurred. Here are some tips to make the most of it:
► Understand the Basics: Before using the Volume Profile, ensure you understand the difference between it and the standard volume histogram. While both represent volume, the former displays it against price while the latter shows it against time.
► Identify High Volume Nodes (HVN) and Low Volume Nodes (LVN):
◊ HVN: Areas where there's a lot of trading activity and where the price has spent a lot of time. These areas can act as strong support or resistance.
◊ LVN: Areas where there's a lack of trading activity. Prices might move quickly through these areas, and they can act as potential breakpoints or accelerators for price movement.
► Locate the Point of Control (POC): This is the price level with the highest traded volume for a specified period. It often acts as a magnet for price, and it can serve as a pivot or reference point.
► Trend Confirmation: A shift in the volume profile from one price level to another can confirm a trend. For instance, if higher volume starts to build at higher price levels, it may indicate a strong uptrend.
► Watch for Volume Gaps: If there's a significant gap in the volume profile, prices may move quickly through these levels as there's little historical trading activity to act as support or resistance.
█ Other Usage Tips
◊ For optimal performance, ensure that the chosen timeframe aligns closely with the chart timeframe. Differences in timeframes may lead to minor discrepancies in the volume profile.
◊ To address any errors arising from too many levels displayed on the volume profile, consider increasing the Profile Step size or reducing the Price Range.
Volume-Blended Candlesticks [QuantVue]Introducing the Volume-Blended Candlestick Indicator, a powerful tool that seamlessly integrates volume information with candlesticks, providing you with a comprehensive view of market dynamics in a single glance.
The Volume-Blended Candlestick Indicator employs a unique approach of projecting volume totals by calculating the total volume traded per second and comparing it to the time left in the session as well as the historical average length selected by the user.
The indicator then dynamically adjusts the opacity of the candlestick colors based on the intensity of the projected volume. As volume intensifies, the candlestick colors become more pronounced, while low volume will cause colors to fade allowing you to visually perceive the level of buying or selling.
One of the standout features of the Volume-Blended Candlestick Indicator is its ability to identify pocket pivots. A pocket pivot is an up day with volume greater than any of the down days volume in the past 10 days. By highlighting these pocket pivots on your chart, the indicator helps you identify potential stealth accumulation.
In addition to blending volume with candlesticks and spotting pocket pivots, this versatile indicator provides you with an insightful table displaying key volume metrics. The table includes the average volume, average dollar volume, and the up-down volume ratio, allowing you to get a clear picture of buying and selling pressure.
Settings Include:
🔹Sensitivty Level: Normal, More, Less
🔹Volume MA Length
🔹Toggle Color based on previous close
🔹Show or hide volume info
🔹Chose candlestick colors
🔹Show or hide pocket pivots
🔹Show or hide volume info table
Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
We hope you enjoy!

improved volumeIt is an indicator that displays the trading volume.
Red-colored candle bars indicate a decrease in trading volume.
Green-colored candle bars indicate an increase in trading volume.
The transparent yellow cloud above the volume bars represents the 21-bar moving average volume, which shows the average volume over the specified period. (You can change the number of bars and the type of moving average from the indicator settings.)
This allows for easier comparison between the current trading volume and the average volume.
In the price scale section, there are 4 target levels. They represent the following in ascending order: Average volume, Average volume multiplied by 2, Average volume multiplied by 3, Average volume multiplied by 4.
Additionally, you can use the alarm feature based on these average volume levels.
Volume Profile Regression Channel [LuxAlgo]The Volume Profile Regression Channel calculates a volume profile from an anchored linear regression channel. Users can choose the starting and ending points for the indicator calculation interval.
Like a regular volume profile, a "line" of control (LOC), value area, and a developing LOC are displayed.
🔶 SETTINGS
Sections: The number of sections the linear regression channel is divided into for the calculation of the volume profile.
Width %: Determines the length of the profile within the channel relative to the channel length.
Value Area %: Highlights the sections starting from the POC whose accumulated volume is equal to the user-defined percentage of the total profile sections volume.
🔶 USAGES
Regular volume profiles are often constructed from a horizontal price area, this can allow highlighting price areas where most trading activity takes place.
However, when price is strongly trending a classical volume profile can sometimes be more uniform. This is where using an angled volume profile can be useful.
The line of control allows highlighting the section of the channel with the most accumulated volume, this line can be used as a potential future support/resistance. This is where an angled volume profile might be the most useful.
The developing LOC highlights the LOC location at a specific time within the profile (from left to right) and can sometimes provide an estimate of the underlying trend in the price.
🔶 DETAILS
To be computed the script requires a left and right chart time coordinates. When adding the script to their charts users can determine the left and right time coordinates by clicking on the chart.
The linear regression channel width is determined so that the channel precisely encompasses the whole price.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Using a very large calculation interval can return timeouts. Users can reduce the calculation interval to fix that issue from occurring.
The amount of drawing objects that can be used is limited, as such using a high calculation interval can display an incomplete profile.
🔶 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
If you are interested in these types of scripts, @HeWhoMustNotBeNamed published a similar script where users can use a custom line angle. See his 'Angled Volume Profile' script from March 2023.
Import Forex Volume from 5 biggest FX Brokers (single/combined) Some Brokers like Forex.com don't show Volume for FX. This indicator allows user to import Volume from a range of FX brokers that DO show volume
-Combine the reported volumes from all five brokers: FXCM, GLOBALPRIME, PEPPERSTONE, Currency.com, OANDA. Or pick a specific broker to import volume from.
-Image above shows combined Volume from the big 5 brokers, with added notes on the 2yr average of various broker's volumes; showing their size in descending order.
-Works across timeframes & FX pairs. Standard color formatting options Added.
//notes:
~default settings pull/combine volume from all 5 brokers. History goes back to Sept 2019 (due to GlobalPrime's later start date in publishing Volume data).
~~toggle ON 'only show FXCM, Pepperstone & Oanda' for a LONGER history, going back to June 2012.
~individual broker feeds: top checkbox toggled OFF, choose your preferred broker.
~~FXCM has both the longest history and the highest volume size of all the brokers.
~Table (toggle on/off) shows the broker feed (which broker(s) volume is on display) and the SMA 100 to give an idea of relative size.
//Cautionary note:
Volume is not as reliable in Forex as it is in Equities/commodities, due to unreported Inter-bank trades; the broker volumes do not give the full picture, but this is a best approximation of combined total volume based on brokers reported volume. The true volume will likely be much higher.
-Thank you @theEccentricTrader for the idea of pulling volume feed from other brokers.
Effective Volume (Willain)This is the Effective Volume using the Average Separation Method
Excerpt:
The most obvious way to separate Large from Small Effective Volume is to calculate the per-minute average Effective Volume exchanged for all the
minutes of the day where a price inflection was found. The volume above that average is called Large Effective Volume (pg. 67)
Looks at the Close(n) to Close(n-1)/h-c*vol and registers it if its above 30% of total volume.
