Purpose
Provide a clear reading of market structure and critical zones to help traders execute trades with greater consistency and avoid entries in low–probability areas.
Important Notes
This script is closed–source to protect its internal methodology, but it is based on an original combination of structural analysis and zone validation not available in free indicators.
It does not produce automatic buy or sell signals without context; it is intended to be integrated into a complete trading strategy.
Zero Lag Liquidity [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script plots liquidity zones with zero lag using lower-timeframe wick profiles and high-volume wicks to mark key price reactions. It’s called Zero Lag Liquidity because it captures significant liquidity imbalances in real time by processing lower-TF price-volume distributions directly inside the wick of abnormal candles. The tool builds a volume histogram inside long upper/lower wicks, then calculates a local Point of Control (POC) to mark the price where most volume occurred. These levels act as visual liquidity zones, which can trigger labels, break signals, and trend detection depending on price interaction.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The core concept relies on identifying high-volume candles with unusually long wicks—often a sign of opposing liquidity. When a large upper or lower wick appears with a strong volume spike, the script builds a histogram of lower-timeframe closes and volumes inside that wick. It bins the wick into segments, sums volume per bin, and finds the POC. This POC becomes the liquidity level. The script then dynamically tracks whether price breaks above or rejects off these levels, adjusts the active trend regime accordingly, and highlights bars to help users spot continuation or reversal behavior. The logic avoids repainting or subjective interpretation by using fixed thresholds and lower-TF price action.
🟠 FEATURES
Dynamic liquidity levels rendered at POC of significant wicks, colored by bullish/bearish direction.
Break detection that removes levels once price decisively crosses them twice in the same direction.
Rejection detection that plots ▲/▼ markers when price bounces off levels intrabar.
Volume labels for each level, shown either as raw volume or percentage of total level volume.
Candle coloring based on trend direction (break-dominant).
🟠 USAGE
Use this indicator to track where liquidity has most likely entered the market via abnormal wick events. When a long wick forms with high volume, the script looks inside it (using your chosen lower timeframe) and marks the most traded price within it. These levels can serve as expected reversal or breakout zones. Rejections are marked with small arrows, while breaks trigger trend shifts and remove the level. You can toggle trend coloring to see directional bias after a breakout. Use the wick multiplier to control how selective the detector is (higher = stricter). Alerts and label modes help customize the signal for different asset types and chart styles.
Previous RTH Levels (RTH Only)Previous RTH Levels on current session (RTH Only)
This indicator calculates key volume profile levels from the previous Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session and projects them onto the current RTH session. It is designed to provide traders with significant historical price levels—Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL)—to use as potential support, resistance, and pivot points for intraday trading.
Instead of just plotting lines, this script highlights the entire Value Area (VA) between the VAH and VAL, offering a clear visual reference for the prior day's zone of price agreement.
Pro Reversal Strategie - FinalCore Functionality Description
The "Pro Reversal Strategy" script is a comprehensive and highly customizable trading system for TradingView. Its core idea is based on a mean-reversion strategy, which aims to capitalize on price extremes where the price is likely to revert to its statistical mean. This script ist full AI generated. There ist no support and no financial advice.
To identify entry points, the script combines classic indicators like the RSI (to detect overbought and oversold conditions) and Bollinger Bands (to measure volatility extremes).
However, the script's strength lies in its confluence logic: a simple RSI or Bollinger Band signal is not enough to trigger a trade. Instead, a series of filters are applied to enhance the quality of the trade signals. These include:
Trend Filter: Trades are only taken in the direction of the higher-level trend (defined by a 200-period Moving Average).
Volatility and Volume Filter: ADX and volume analysis ensure that the market has sufficient momentum for a move.
Market Structure Analysis: Concepts like Fair Value Gaps (FVG), liquidity zones, and the Volume Profile (VRVP/POC) are used to place trades in high-probability zones.
Momentum Filter: Special "Vector Candles" confirm the strength of buyers or sellers at the moment of the signal.
Furthermore, the script offers advanced features for risk and trade management, including automatic position sizing based on a percentage risk and dynamic exit strategies like a breakeven stop and a trailing stop-loss (Chandelier ATR).
A detailed info panel visualizes all key metrics in real-time directly on the chart. Thanks to its versatile configuration options, the script can be adapted for various trading styles, including swing trading, day trading, and scalping.
Core Strategies & Filters (English)
Here is a breakdown of the specific strategies and confirmation filters used within the script:
RSI Mean Reversion: Uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify overbought (> rsiSellShort) and oversold (< rsiBuyLong) conditions, which serve as the primary trigger for a potential price reversal.
Bollinger Bands (BB) Volatility Filter: Trades are confirmed when the price touches or exceeds the outer Bollinger Bands. This indicates a move to a statistical extreme in terms of volatility, reinforcing the reversal thesis.
Trend Filter (200 SMA): Ensures that long trades are only considered in a general uptrend (price > SMA 200) and short trades in a downtrend (price < SMA 200), preventing trades against the dominant market direction.
ADX Trend Strength Filter: Utilizes the Average Directional Index (ADX) to confirm that a market is trending with sufficient strength. Trades are filtered out during weak or non-trending phases (adx < adxThreshold).
Volume Profile (VRVP / POC): Analyzes volume at specific price levels to identify high-volume nodes (Point of Control - POC). This acts as a filter to avoid entering trades directly into a zone of strong support or resistance.
Vector Candle Filter: Identifies "Vector Candles" – large, high-volume candles that close strongly near their high (bullish) or low (bearish). This custom filter confirms strong conviction behind the initial reversal signal.
Market Structure (FVG & Liquidity): Incorporates advanced price action concepts. It looks for entries after a liquidity zone above a previous high/low has been tapped (Liquidity Grab) or when price enters a Fair Value Gap (FVG), adding a layer of institutional trading logic.
Chart Pattern Recognition: Optionally identifies classic chart patterns like "W-Patterns" (Double Bottom), "M-Patterns" (Double Top), and Ascending Triangles to provide additional visual confirmation for traders.
Position Sizing (Risk %): Automatically calculates the trade size based on a user-defined percentage of the total equity (riskPct) and the distance to the stop-loss, ensuring consistent risk management for every trade.
Dynamic Exit Management: Implements advanced exit strategies beyond a fixed take-profit. This includes moving the stop-loss to Breakeven after a certain risk-to-reward ratio is met and using a Trailing Stop-Loss (e.g., Chandelier ATR) to lock in profits as a trade develops.

Impulse Profile Zones [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
Impulse Profile Zones is a volume-based tool designed to highlight high-impact candles and visualize hidden liquidity zones inside them using microstructure data. It’s ideal for identifying volume concentration and potential reaction points during impulsive market moves.
Whenever a candle exceeds a specified size threshold, this indicator captures its structure and overlays a detailed intrabar volume profile (from a 10x lower timeframe), allowing traders to analyze the distribution of interest within powerful market impulses.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Filters candles that exceed a user-defined threshold by size.
For qualifying candles, retrieves lower timeframe price and volume data.
Divides the candle’s body into 10 volume bins and calculates the volume per zone. Highlights the bin with the highest volume as the Point of Control (POC) .
Each POC line extends forward until a new impulse is detected.
🔵 FEATURES
Impulse Candle Detection:
Triggers only when a candle’s body size is larger than the defined threshold.
Lower Timeframe Profiling:
Aggregates 10-bin volume data from a lower timeframe (typically 1/10 of current TF).
Volume Distribution Bars:
Each bin displays a stylized bar using unicode block characters (e.g., ▇▇▇, ▇▇ or ▇--).
The bar size reflects the relative volume intensity.
POC Zone Mapping:
The bin with the highest volume is marked with a bold horizontal line.
Its value is labeled and extended until the next valid impulse.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use large candle profiles to assess which price levels inside a move were most actively traded.
Watch the POC line as a magnet for future price interaction (support/resistance or reaction).
Combine with market structure or order block indicators to identify confluence levels.
Adjust the “Filter Large Candles” input to detect more or fewer events based on volatility.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Impulse Profile Zones is a hybrid microstructure tool that bridges lower timeframe volume with higher timeframe impulse candles. By revealing where most of the volume occurred inside large moves, traders gain a deeper view into hidden liquidity, enabling smarter trade entries and more confident profit-taking zones.
Volume NodesVolume Nodes Indicator:
What This Indicator Does:
The Volume Nodes indicator identifies and visualizes statistically significant volume events on your chart, helping you identify important price levels where substantial trading activity has occurred. Unlike standard volume indicators, Volume Nodes:
Uses statistical analysis (z-scores) to identify truly abnormal volume bars
Calculates accurate buy/sell volume ratios by analyzing all lower timeframe data
Identifies the Volume Point of Control (VPOC) for high volume areas
Visualizes significant volume ranges as they extend across the chart
Tracks when price interacts with these important levels
Key Features:
High Volume Detection: Highlights bars with unusually high volume (z-score above threshold)
Low Volume Detection: Highlights bars with unusually low volume (z-score below threshold)
VPOC Lines: Horizontal lines showing the exact price level with maximum volume concentration
Volume Range Fills: Shaded areas showing the entire price range with significant volume
Accurate Volume Metrics: Shows true buy/sell volume ratios or delta percentages derived from lower timeframe data
How to Use It in Your Trading: **Move to front in the visual order on chart**
Step 1: Identify Important Volume Zones
High Volume Bars (green/red candles) indicate where significant buying or selling has occurred
VPOC Lines extending from these bars show you the exact price level with highest volume
Range Fills show you the entire zone where significant volume occurred
Step 2: Use These Levels for Trading Decisions
Support/Resistance: VPOC lines often act as support or resistance levels
Breakout Validation: Breakouts on high volume are more likely to be valid
Low Volume Warning: Low volume bars (yellow) often indicate indecision or potential reversals
Trading with Volume Flow: Use the buy/sell ratio or delta % to confirm the strength and direction of moves
Step 3: Monitor Price Interaction with Volume Zones
When price approaches a VPOC line, watch for reaction (bounce or breakout)
When price enters a volume range area, increased volatility often follows
When price crosses a VPOC line, the line changes transparency indicating it's been tested
Tips for Optimal Use
Higher Timeframes: The indicator works exceptionally well on higher timeframes (4H, daily, weekly) where volume patterns are more significant
Range Trading: Use volume nodes to identify the boundaries of trading ranges
Combine with Price Action: Look for price action confirmation (rejections, engulfing patterns) at VPOC levels
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Compare volume nodes across different timeframes to find confluent levels
Alert Setup: Set up alerts for when price enters important volume zones or crosses VPOC lines
Reversal Signals: High volume bars with significant wicks often signal exhaustion points where smart money is transferring positions. Bullish candles with long upper wicks suggest sellers absorbing buying pressure at highs, while bearish candles with long lower wicks indicate buyers stepping in at lows - both potentially signaling momentum shifts that precede reversals.
The indicator is particularly valuable for identifying levels where large players have been active in the market and are likely to defend or act again in the future.

RSI Support & Resistance Breakouts with OrderblocksThis tool is an overly simplified method of finding market squeeze and breakout completely based on a dynamic RSI calculation. It is designed to draw out areas of price levels where the market is pushing back against price action leaving behind instances of short term support and resistance levels you otherwise wouldn't see with the common RSI.
It uses the changes in market momentum to determine support and resistance levels in real time while offering price zone where order blocks exist in the short term.
In ranging markets we need to know a couple things.
1. External Zone - It's important to know where the highs and lows were left behind as they hold liquidity. Here you will have later price swings and more false breakouts.
2. Internal Zone - It's important to know where the highest and lowest closing values were so we can see the limitations of that squeeze. Here you will find the stronger cluster of orders often seen as orderblocks.
In this tool I've added a 200 period Smoothed Moving Average as a trend filter which causes the RSI calculation to change dynamically.
Regular Zones - without extending
The Zones draw out automatically but are often too small to work with.
To solve this problem, you can extend the zones into the future up to 40 bars.
This allows for more visibility against future price action.
--------------------------------------------
Two Types of Zones
External Zones - These zones give you positioning of the highest and lowest price traded within the ranging market. This is where liquidity will be swept and often is an ultimate breaking point for new price swings.
How to use them :
External Zones - External zones form at the top of a pullback. After this price should move back into its impulsive wave.
During the next corrective way, if price breaches the top of the previous External Zone, this is a sign of trend weakness. Expect a divergence and trend reversal.
Internal Zones - (OrderBlocks) Current price will move in relation to previous internal zones. The internal zone is where a majority of price action and trading took place. It's a stronger SQUEEZE area. Current price action will often have a hard time closing beyond the previous Internal Zones high or low. You can expect these zones to show you where the market will flip over. In these same internal zones you'll find large rejection candles.
**Important Note** Size Doesn't Matter
The size of the internal zone does not matter. It can be very small and still very powerful.
Once an internal zone has been hit a few times, its often not relevant any longer.
Order Block Zone Examples
In this image you can see the Internal Zone that was untouched had a STRONG price reaction later on.
Internal Zones that were touched multiple times had weak reactions later as price respected them less over time.
Zone Overlay Breakdown
The Zones form and update in real time until momentum has picked up and price begins to trend. However it leaves behind the elements of the inducement area and all the key levels you need to know about for future price action.
Resistance Fakeout : Later on after the zone has formed, price will return to this upper zone of price levels and cause fakeouts. A close above this zone implies the market moves long again.
Midline Equilibrium : This is simply the center of the strongest traded area. We can call this the Point of Control within the orderblock. If price expands through both extremes of this zone multiple times in the future, it eliminates the orderblock.
Support Fakeout : Just like its opposing brother, price will wick through this zone and rip back causing inducement to trap traders. You would need a clear close below this zone to be in a bearish trend.
BARCOLOR or Candle Color: (Optional)
Bars are colored under three conditions
Bullish Color = A confirmed bullish breakout of the range.
Bearish Color = A confirmed bearish breakout of the range.
Squeeze Color = Even if no box is formed a candle or candles can have a squeeze color. This means the ranging market happened within the high and low of that singular candle.
High Timeframe POCIntroducing the High Timeframe POC (HTF POC) Indicator
What It Does
The HTF POC Indicator is a powerful tool that helps traders identify key price levels on your chart based on the Point of Control (POC)—the price level where the most trading activity (volume or time) occurred over a specific timeframe. Think of it as a "magnet" where price tends to return or bounce off. This indicator works across multiple timeframes (1-hour, 4-hour, 6-hour, weekly, monthly, and custom periods like 3M or 6M), giving you a clear view of significant support and resistance levels from both short-term and long-term perspectives.
Key Features:
Displays POC lines for different timeframes (e.g., 1H, 4H, 6H) as horizontal lines on your chart.
Limits the number of lines per timeframe (default 5, adjustable) to avoid clutter.
Allows customizable line lengths (e.g., 1 day for 1H, 7 days for 6H) and label positioning to keep your chart clean.
Highlights developing POCs (current price action) and optional Value Area (VA) levels for added context.
Removes crossed POC lines automatically to focus on relevant levels.
Why It Matters
Traders use POCs because they act as support (price floor) or resistance (price ceiling) zones. By seeing POCs from multiple timeframes, you can:
Spot where price is likely to reverse or consolidate.
Align your trades with both short-term (1H, 4H) and longer-term (6H, monthly) trends.
Avoid overcomplicating your chart with too many lines, thanks to customizable settings.
How to Use It
Here are practical ways to leverage the HTF POC Indicator in your trading:
Identify Entry and Exit Points:
Look for price approaching a POC line (e.g., a 4H POC in green). If price bounces off this level, it’s a potential buy (support) or sell (resistance) signal.
Example: If the 1H POC is near current price and price respects it, enter a trade in the direction of the bounce.
Combine Timeframes for Confirmation:
Use shorter timeframes (1H, 4H) for precise entries and longer timeframes (6H, monthly) for trend direction.
Example: If a 6H POC aligns with a monthly POC and price holds, it’s a stronger signal to trade in that direction.
Set Stop Losses and Targets:
Place your stop loss just beyond the POC level (e.g., 1-2% below a support POC).
Set your profit target at the next POC level (e.g., the next 4H POC above your entry).
Spot Reversal Zones:
Watch for price stalling or reversing at multiple POC alignments (e.g., 1H and 6H POCs stacking). This is a high-probability reversal zone.
Example: If price drops to a 1H POC and a 4H POC at the same level, consider it a key area to watch.
Adjust for Clarity:
Tweak the “Max lines to display” (e.g., set 1H to 3 lines) and “Line length” (e.g., 1 day for 1H) in the settings to focus on the most recent and relevant levels.
Move labels (left for 1H, right for 6H) to avoid overlap and keep your chart readable.
Quick Tips
Enable Timeframes: Turn on 1H, 4H, or 6H based on your trading style (short-term or swing).
Color Coding: Red for 1H, Green for 4H, Blue for 6H—easy to distinguish on the chart.
Test It: Apply it on a daily chart and adjust settings to see how POCs align with past price action.
Get Started
Add the HTF POC Indicator to your TradingView chart, customize the settings to match your strategy, and watch how POC levels guide your trades. Whether you’re scalping or swing trading, this tool helps you stay ahead by highlighting where the market “remembers” its past!
Market DirectionThe "Market Direction" indicator combines four advanced sub-indicators to provide a comprehensive and multi-dimensional analysis of market trends, momentum, and potential reversals. This innovative approach leverages different aspects of price action, volume, and market sentiment, offering traders an in-depth view of market conditions.
1. Fractal Indicator: Multi-Scale Price Action Analysis
The Fractal Indicator identifies significant highs and lows over six different pivot lengths, offering a nuanced view of price action across multiple timeframes. By comparing distances from current closing prices to these key fractal points, the indicator determines potential trend reversals and market direction. This approach enables traders to adapt their strategies to various market conditions, capturing both short-term fluctuations and long-term trends.
2. Volume MACD Indicator: Enhanced Market Momentum
The Volume MACD Indicator goes beyond traditional MACD analysis by incorporating volume-weighted movement and the structural attributes of candlesticks (such as body length and wicks). This hybrid model offers a more comprehensive understanding of market momentum by integrating both price action and trading volume. The use of Smoothed Moving Averages (SMMA) reduces noise and ensures more stable signals, helping traders focus on sustainable trends and longer-term investment opportunities.
3. Cumulative Volume Momentum Indicator: Volume Dynamics Insight
The Cumulative Volume Momentum Indicator evaluates the momentum of cumulative buying and selling volumes, offering a clear picture of market strength and potential reversals. By comparing the relationship between open, close, high, and low prices, and applying a MACD approach to these volume dynamics, this indicator helps traders identify momentum shifts that often precede price movements. The visualization through histograms adds clarity to bullish and bearish volume momentum, enhancing decision-making in volatile markets.
4. POC-Price Momentum Indicator: Market Depth and Sentiment
The POC-Price Momentum Indicator assesses the difference between the Point of Control (POC) and closing prices, providing insights into underlying market sentiment. Positive differences indicate a buildup of upward momentum, while negative differences suggest a bearish tilt. By calculating moving averages of these differences, the indicator highlights the strength and sustainability of ongoing trends, helping traders align their strategies with the broader market direction.
Unified Rating for Confirming Market Direction
The "Market Direction" indicator consolidates the outputs of these four sub-indicators into a single, aggregated sentiment score. This score helps traders confirm the prevailing market trend by weighing the combined insights from fractal analysis, volume momentum, price action, and POC dynamics. A positive score suggests a bullish market, while a negative score indicates bearish conditions.

Filter Set E: VWAP
When using the VWAP filter, load the On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator to complement your analysis. This combination can help confirm volume trends and potential price movements.
Tips:
Look for instances where the VWAP aligns with OBV divergences to confirm or negate potential trade setups.
Tutorial:
- Complement with OBV: Look for volume confirmations.
- Usage: Switch the candles to a line chart. Wait for both the line to close above the VWAP and OBV above the Smoothing Line. Then, switch to Filter Set D and hunt for a long entry as per the strategy. Do the opposite for hunting short entries.
---
Filter Set F: Super Trend
This filter is most effective when paired with the Ichimoku Cloud (using custom settings) along with the MACD and ADX indicators.
Goal:
Gauge trend strength, momentum, and support and resistance levels.
Tutorial:
- Load Ichimoku, MACD, and ADX: To gauge trend strength and momentum.
- Usage Tips:
I use the cloud to look for long periods where the clouds print horizontal levels and use them for support and resistance levels. Alternatively, use the ADX. When the price breaks up through the super trend downtrend line and retraces back to the top of the Ichimoku cloud, switch to Filter Set D and hunt for a long scalp entry. For a short entry, wait for the price to break through the Up Trend Line and retrace back up to the cloud. Then, switch to Filter Set D and use the setup to hunt for a short.
---
Filter Set G: Keltner Channels
Combine this filter with Donchian Channels and the Average True Range (ATR) for enhanced volatility analysis. This filter set works similarly to Filter Set C.
Goal:
Measure volatility and predict breakouts.
Tutorial:
- Load Donchian Channels or ATR: To measure volatility and breakouts.
- Usage Tips:
Look for the price to fall through the Keltner lower line and the ATR making a higher low. Then, use the scalper for entries, with Donchian boundaries as take-profit estimates.
---
Filter Set H: Pivot Points
This filter works with the RSI to spot divergences that could signal a trend change or reversal.
Goal:
Identify divergences and trend reversals.
Tutorial:
- Load RSI: For identifying divergences.
- Usage Tips:
Use RSI in conjunction with pivot points to identify divergences. Then, switch to Filter Set D and use the scalper to hunt for swing entries in the divergence direction.
---
Filter Set I: Opening Range Breakout
This filter uses the Seasonality indicator to gauge investor sentiment and prediction sentiment.
Goal:
Assess market sentiment and predict breakout directions.
Tutorial:
- Load Seasonality Indicator: To assess market sentiment.
- Usage Tips:
Use seasonal trends to gauge potential breakout directions. Use on the daily timeframe only. Risk on investment zones are when the price is close to the ORB low level. Realize investment profit when the price is nearing the ORB high level, considering that there has to be divergence as determined using Filter Set H.

By following this structured approach, traders can learn to navigate different market conditions, using TrendScope to make informed decisions based on a comprehensive analysis of momentum, trend, and volatility. The goal is to go through all the filter sets and combine them with the scalp setup in Filter Set D, using the additional filters to adapt to various strategies and market conditions.
Enhanced Volume Profile [TFO]The Enhanced Volume Profile analyzes volume by price to find potential inflection points that we can reference in future price action.
The volume profiles altogether are simply an estimation from price/volume data that TradingView is capable of providing. Below is an example of 1 day volume profiles. The left chart uses 50 rows for each profile, while the right chart uses 500 rows. As a result, the right chart is capable of providing much greater detail.
Profile Timeframe specifies the timeframe of the profile to be constructed. When set to 1 day for example, then each profile represents the price/volume data from 1 daily bar.
Resolution Timeframe is the timeframe of price/volume data used to construct the profile. Lower timeframes result in higher resolution, but also greater computation time.
Below is an example of 1 day volume profiles. Both charts are using 250 rows for every profile, but the left chart is using a 15m resolution timeframe, while the right chart is using a 1m resolution timeframe. The lower timeframe data on the right chart allows for greater detail than the left.
Volume Point of Control (VPOC) shows the price level where the most volume was traded during a given session. Show VPOCs will draw these levels on each volume profile, with the corresponding color. In the following chart, each solid blue line represents a VPOC for the corresponding session.
Extend Recent VPOCs will track the N most recent VPOC levels, and extend them to the right side of the chart for easy visual reference. Show VPOC Labels will annotate each VPOC extension with the date (and time, for lower timeframes) that each corresponding profile began. Below is an example where Extend Recent VPOCs and Show VPOC Labels are both enabled.
Show Previous HVN will show High Volume Nodes from previous sessions, and extend them until price trades through them. When a session ends, any new HVNs located above that close price will be red while any HVNs below will be green (default colors).
HVNs are validated with a strength parameter that compares the peak volume to its neighboring levels to determine local extremes, along with a percentile filter to optionally specify if valid nodes must contain a peak volume greater than X% of the volume traded at VPOC.
The same capabilities exist for Low Volume Nodes as well. Show Previous LVN will extend these Low Volume Nodes from previous sessions until price trades through them.
The default color scheme will color nodes proportionate to the individual session. For example, a HVN derived from VPOC would always result in the deepest possible color because the node's peak contains the highest volume traded for that session. Every lesser node would be colored lighter than this, proportional to that session's VPOC.
We can also choose to color these nodes in a way that reflects their relative volume compared to recent sessions. For HVNs, darker colors imply more volume was traded at said nodes while lighter colors imply less volume. In the following example, the left chart uses the session based color scheme while the right chart uses the historical color scheme.

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.
Volume Profile with Delta [TradeMaster Lite]The indicator estimates and displays the total traded volume and it's delta** at each price level during the user-defined period. It can be used to identify key support and resistance levels, determine logical take profit and stop loss levels, identify balanced and unbalanced markets and determine trend strength. The indicator offers different approaches to visualize the volume profile and can be chosen based on your preferred trading strategy and analysis method. The position and size of the Volume Profile is fully customizable, it can even be flipped if needed!
Three different display types (cosmetic effect only):
Classic
Compact
Modern
The Lite version offers three different range types:
Visible Range: displays the volume profile for the visible range of bars or candles on the chart. It adjusts dynamically as you change the chart view making it ideal for the modern trader who values both precision and simplicity.
Open End: displays the volume profile from a specific start date without a defined end, including real delta data. It provides an overview of the volume activity across all price levels of the examined period.
Fixed End: lets you define a specific start and end point for the volume profile. It can be useful if you want to analyze the volume activity within a specific time period or price range.
👉 Usage
The Volume Profile is a histogram that shows the estimated trading volume at certain price levels, how much was sold and how much was bought of the asset. The longer the histogram, the greater the trading volume at that price level. The Delta estimates which side was dominant at that price level and by how much.
To make the most out of the indicator, you can look for
pullbacks to high volume nodes or value areas,
initial equilibrium pullbacks,
buy or sell opportunities for price reversals,
institutional order flow.
The largest histogram node is called the Point of Control (POC). It is the estimated real market price of a coin. There's a common belief that when the price is above this point, the market sentiment is bullish, and when it's below, the sentiment turns bearish. It can act as a strong support if the price is above it and as strong resistance if the price is below it.
Price action usually finds the most support and resistance and the edge of the high volume areas. The indicator can mark these as VAH and VAL (Value Area High and Low).
In addition to the indication of support and resistance zones, the volume profile can also be used to infer the speed of price movements. At levels where there is little trading volume, faster and more volatile price movements are expected. In such scenarios the price may fall or rise faster to the next high volume zone.
👉 General advice
Confirming Signals with other indicators:
As with all technical indicators, it is important to confirm potential signals with other analytical tools, such as support and resistance levels, as well as indicators like RSI, MACD, and volume. This helps increase the probability of a successful trade.
Use proper risk management:
When using this or any other indicator, it is crucial to have proper risk management in place. Consider implementing stop-loss levels and thoughtful position sizing.
Combining with other technical indicators:
The indicator can be effectively used alongside other technical indicators to create a comprehensive trading strategy and provide additional confirmation.
Keep in Mind:
Thorough research and backtesting are essential before making any trading decisions. Furthermore, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of the indicator and its behavior. Additionally, incorporating fundamental analysis and considering market sentiment can be vital factors to take into account in your trading approach.
Limitations:
The Lite version shows simple delta with current timeframe volume data.
The indicators within the TradeMaster Lite package aim for simplicity and efficiency, while retaining their original purpose and value. Some settings, functions or visuals may be simpler than expected.
**The Delta estimates which side was dominant at that price level and by how much. It is the difference between bull and bear volume of the candle.
⭐ Conclusion
We hold the view that the true path to success is the synergy between the trader and the tool, contrary to the common belief that the tool itself is the sole determinant of profitability. The actual scenario is more nuanced than such an oversimplification. Our aim is to offer useful features that meet the needs of the 21st century and that we actually use.

Oscillator Profile IndicatorDescription:
The Oscillator Profile Indicator (OPI) is designed to provide insights into market trends and potential reversal points by profiling the value distribution of an oscillator or the price chart over a specified lookback period.
The OPI works by calculating the Point of Control (PoC) for the oscillator values or prices in the given lookback period. This PoC, essentially a median, is considered the fair value where most trading activities have happened. Along with this, OPI also calculates lower and upper boundaries by taking the specified percentile of the sorted distribution of values. These boundaries outline the value area within which a significant portion of trading activity has occurred.
The main feature of the OPI is the interpretation of PoC movement and how it relates to general market trends. If the PoC moves above 0 on the oscillator, it's a potential indication that we are in a general uptrend. Conversely, if the PoC moves below 0, this can be a signal for a general downtrend.
Usage:
While OPI can be used on both price charts and oscillators, its effectiveness is more pronounced when used on oscillators. Applying this indicator to oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) can provide useful insights.
How to Read:
PoC line: The line represents the median of the past 'n' periods. Its movement above or below 0 can be used to identify general uptrends or downtrends respectively.
Upper and Lower Boundary lines: These lines represent the specified percentile of the value distribution in the lookback period.
Colored Fills: The fills between the upper and lower boundary lines visually represent the value area. The color changes based on the relative position of the source value (price or oscillator value) to the PoC.
Signals:
An uptrend is indicated when the PoC moves above 0 on the oscillator, especially when coupled with an upward crossover of the source value through the PoC.
A downtrend is signaled when the PoC drops below 0 on the oscillator, particularly when paired with a downward crossover of the source value through the PoC.
(!) Note: Like all indicators, OPI should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for the best results. It is also advisable to backtest this indicator with your strategy before using it in live trading.
Time Profile [QuantVue]The Time Profile indicator provides traders with a comprehensive view of volume and time-based price activity. The indicator combines two essential components into one indicator: the volume profile and the time profile.
The volume profile represents the distribution of trading volume at different price levels over a specified period and is displayed as a circle on the chart.
It provides a visual representation of where the majority of trading volume occurred and often highlights significant support and resistance levels. The volume profile is calculated as the closing price of the highest volume intraday bar, based on the user selected lower time frame.
On the other hand, the time profile focuses on analyzing the time spent at certain price levels. The indicator divides the current bars range into 10 blocks and counts the number of user selected lower time frame closes within each time block.
The block with the most lower time frame closes in it is deemed the time point of control. Traders can use this information to identify time blocks where price movement was most significant.
The time profile is drawn on the Y axis of the current bar to allow for an easy visualization of where price spent most of its time. Historical time profiles are also noted on previous bars with a dash marking the level.
The Time Profile indicator offers several customization options. Traders can adjust the timeframe for the lower time frame data, decide whether to display the time profile, and customize colors for visual clarity.
Additionally, traders can choose to highlight instances where the Volume POC and Time POC align, indicating a strong concentration of volume and price activity.
Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
We hope you enjoy!
Cheers.
Volume Profile Matrix [LuxAlgo]The Volume Profile Matrix indicator extends from regular volume profiles by also considering calculation intervals within the calculation window rather than only dividing the calculation window in rows.
Note that this indicator is subject to repainting & back-painting, however, treating the indicator as a tool for identifying frequent points of interest can still be very useful.
🔶 SETTINGS
Lookback: Number of most recent bars used to calculate the indicator.
Columns: Number of columns (intervals) used to calculate the volume profile matrix.
Rows: Number of rows (intervals) used to calculate the volume profile matrix.
🔶 USAGE
The Volume Profile Matrix indicator can be used to obtain more information regarding liquidity on specific time intervals. Instead of simply dividing the calculation window into equidistant rows, the calculation is done through a grid.
Grid cells with trading activity occurring inside them are colored. More activity is highlighted through a gradient and by default, cells with a color that are closer to red indicate that more trading activity took place within that cell. The cell with the highest amount of trading activity is always highlighted in yellow.
Each interval (column) includes a point of control which highlights an estimate of the price level with the highest traded volume on that interval. The level with the highest traded volume of the overall grid is extended to the most recent bar.
Rails v2Centered around a Variable Moving Average (Rail Line). The Variable Moving Average (VMA) is a study that uses an Exponential Moving Average being able to automatically adjust its smoothing factor according to the market volatility.
In addition to the Rail Line or VMA, the indicator makes use of Bollinger Bands in two ways. First, it displays when the Bollinger Bands are in a squeeze and the potential direction of the breakout. The "squeeze" is the central concept of Bollinger Bands. When the bands come close together, constricting the moving average, it is called a squeeze. A squeeze signals a period of low volatility and is considered by traders to be a potential sign of future increased volatility and possible trading opportunities. The Bollinger Bands are also utilized to highlight when price action might reverse. This signals when price closes outside of the bands, quickly reverts and closes within the bands
The indicator makes use of the Hull Moving Average as a method to quickly capture price action moves thanks to its ability to eliminate lag while managing to improve smoothing at the same time.
Finally, the indicator utilizes Volume Point of Control (VPOC) to determine points in price where the highest amount of volume was traded. Unlike the market profile, the indicator will plot the Volume POC per candle. The script will also plot Trapped Volume. This is important as it tends to serve a signal for reversal. The more price moves away from the trapped volume, Long/Short traders might be forced to cover and price could quickly move away from the area.
DEFAULT SIGNALS: All signals can be turned Off/On by user
Dots = Short Term Trend
Rails Bar Color = Medium Term Trend
Rail Line (VMA) = Long Term Trend
Crossover of Moving Averages = X
Volume Pulse = Large Up/Down Triangle
Potential Bullish Reversal = Light Blue Candle

Futures Full FS ScreenerFull FS Screener
This indicator allows traders to have a view of multiple pairs and timeframes buy/sell signals and specific information of parameters, based on the Futures FS Indicator also developed by me.
Futures FS Indicator Fundamentals
1. Exponential Moving Average (EMAs): The base indicator is composed of moving averages of 5, 10, 11, 13, 36 and 55 exponential periods.
2. Squeeze Momentum: This indicator allows the signals to go with the trend and not against it.
3. VPVR (Volume Profile Visible Range): It allows to determine the Point of Control (POC) which is the node with the highest volume profile. This can be used as an important retest point or to calculate potential support and resistance.
4. ADX (Average Directional Index): The ADX helps the indicator to estimate the strength of the movement, always considering the DI+ and DI- to not go against the trend.
5. RSI (Relative Strength Index): The RSI helps measuring the speed and magnitude of the recent price changes to evaluate overvalued or undervalued conditions in the price of that security. The indicator considers RSI 5, 13 and 50 as bottom and top, respectively.
6. MACD (Moving average convergence divergence): The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between moving averages. The indicator uses moving averages of 5, 8 and 21).
7. The trend is determined according to these parameters and their different values, which might indicate that we are in a bullish or bearish trend. The trend has a max positive (bullish) value of 6 and a max negative (bearish) value of -6.
