🖥️ How to Use:
🛠 Add the Indicator:
Add the indicator to favorites and customize settings like profile type, lookback period, and resolution to fit your trading style.
📊 Market Analysis:
Monitor the POC line for significant price levels. Use the histogram to understand price distributions and locate major market pivots.
🔔 Alerts Setup:
Enable alerts for price crossing over or under the POC, as well as for trend changes, to stay ahead of market movements without constant chart monitoring.
🛠️ How It Works:
The Rolling POC indicator dynamically calculates the Point of Control either based on volume or price within a user-defined lookback period. It plots a histogram (profile) that highlights the level at which the most trading activity has occurred, helping to identify key support and resistance levels.
Basic Logic Overview:
- Data Compilation: Gathers high, low, and volume (if volume profile selected) data within the lookback period.
- Histogram Calculation: Divides the price range into bins (as specified by resolution), counting hits in each bin to find the most frequented price level.
- POC Identification: The price level with the highest concentration of hits (or volume) is marked as the POC.
- Trend MA (Optional): If enabled, the indicator plots a moving average of the POC for trend analysis.
By integrating the Rolling Point of Control into your charting toolkit, you can significantly enhance your market analysis and potentially increase the accuracy of your trading decisions. Whether you're day trading or looking at longer time frames, this indicator offers a detailed, customizable perspective on market dynamics. 🌍💹

Bollinger Bands Liquidity Cloud [ChartPrime]This indicator overlays a heatmap on the price chart, providing a detailed representation of Bollinger bands' profile. It offers insights into the price's behavior relative to these bands. There are two visualization styles to choose from: the Volume Profile and the Z-Score method.
Features
Volume Profile: This method illustrates how the price interacts with the Bollinger bands based on the traded volume.
Z-Score: In this mode, the indicator samples the real distribution of Z-Scores within a specified window and rescales this distribution to the desired sample size. It then maps the distribution as a heatmap by calculating the corresponding price for each Z-Score sample and representing its weight via color and transparency.
Parameters
Length: The period for the simple moving average that forms the base for the Bollinger bands.
Multiplier: The number of standard deviations from the moving average to plot the upper and lower Bollinger bands.
Main:
Style: Choose between "Volume" and "Z-Score" visual styles.
Sample Size: The size of the bin. Affects the granularity of the heatmap.
Window Size: The lookback window for calculating the heatmap. When set to Z-Score, a value of `0` implies using all available data. It's advisable to either use `0` or the highest practical value when using the Z-Score method.
Lookback: The amount of historical data you want the heatmap to represent on the chart.
Smoothing: Implements sinc smoothing to the distribution. It smoothens out the heatmap to provide a clearer visual representation.
Heat Map Alpha: Controls the transparency of the heatmap. A higher value makes it more opaque, while a lower value makes it more transparent.
Weight Score Overlay: A toggle that, when enabled, displays a letter score (`S`, `A`, `B`, `C`, `D`) inside the heatmap boxes, based on the weight of each data point. The scoring system categorizes each weight into one of these letters using the provided percentile ranks and the median.
Color
Color: Color for high values.
Standard Deviation Color: Color to represent the standard deviation on the Bollinger bands.
Text Color: Determines the color of the letter score inside the heatmap boxes. Adjusting this parameter ensures that the score is visible against the heatmap color.
Usage
Once this indicator is applied to your chart, the heatmap will be overlaid on the price chart, providing a visual representation of the price's behavior in relation to the Bollinger bands. The intensity of the heatmap is directly tied to the price action's intensity, defined by your chosen parameters.
When employing the Volume Profile style, a brighter and more intense area on the heatmap indicates a higher trading volume within that specific price range. On the other hand, if you opt for the Z-Score method, the intensity of the heatmap reflects the Z-Score distribution. Here, a stronger intensity is synonymous with a more frequent occurrence of a specific Z-Score.
For those seeking an added layer of granularity, there's the "Weight Score Overlay" feature. When activated, each box in your heatmap will sport a letter score, ranging from `S` to `D`. This score categorizes the weight of each data point, offering a concise breakdown:
- `S`: Data points with a weight of 1.
- `A`: Weights below 1 but greater than or equal to the 75th percentile rank.
- `B`: Weights under the 75th percentile but at or above the median.
- `C`: Weights beneath the median but surpassing the 25th percentile rank.
- `D`: All that fall below the 25th percentile rank.
This scoring feature augments the heatmap's visual data, facilitating a quicker interpretation of the weight distribution across the dataset.
Further Explanations
Volume Profile
A volume profile is a tool used by traders to visualize the amount of trading volume occurring at specific price levels. This kind of profile provides a deep insight into the market's structure and helps traders identify key areas of support and resistance, based on where the most trading activity took place. The concept behind the volume profile is that the amount of volume at each price level can indicate the potential importance of that price.
In this indicator:
- The volume profile mode creates a visual representation by sampling trading volumes across price levels.
- The representation displays the balance between bullish and bearish volumes at each level, which is further differentiated using a color gradient from `low_color` to `high_color`.
- The volume profile becomes more refined with sinc smoothing, helping to produce a smoother distribution of volumes.
Z-Score and Distribution Resampling
Z-Score, in the context of trading, represents the number of standard deviations a data point (e.g., closing price) is from the mean (average). It’s a measure of how unusual or typical a particular data point is in relation to all the data. In simpler terms, a high Z-Score indicates that the data point is far away from the mean, while a low Z-Score suggests it's close to the mean.
The unique feature of this indicator is that it samples the real distribution of z-scores within a window and then resamples this distribution to fit the desired sample size. This process is termed as "resampling in the context of distribution sampling" . Resampling provides a way to reconstruct and potentially simplify the original distribution of z-scores, making it easier for traders to interpret.
In this indicator:
- Each Z-Score corresponds to a price value on the chart.
- The resampled distribution is then used to display the heatmap, with each Z-Score related price level getting a heatmap box. The weight (or importance) of each box is represented as a combination of color and transparency.
How to Interpret the Z-Score Distribution Visualization:
When interpreting the Z-Score distribution through color and alpha in the visualization, it's vital to understand that you're seeing a representation of how unusual or typical certain data points are without directly viewing the numerical Z-Score values. Here's how you can interpret it:
Intensity of Color: This often corresponds to the distance a particular data point is from the mean.
Lighter shades (closer to `low_color`) typically indicate data points that are more extreme, suggesting overbought or oversold conditions. These could signify potential reversals or significant deviations from the norm.
Darker shades (closer to `high_color`) represent data points closer to the mean, suggesting that the price is relatively typical compared to the historical data within the given window.
Alpha (Transparency): The degree of transparency can indicate the significance or confidence of the observed deviation. More opaque boxes might suggest a stronger or more reliable deviation from the mean, implying that the observed behavior is less likely to be a random occurrence.
More transparent boxes could denote less certainty or a weaker deviation, meaning that the observed price behavior might not be as noteworthy.
- Combining Color and Alpha: By observing both the intensity of color and the level of transparency, you get a richer understanding. For example:
- A light, opaque box could suggest a strong, significant deviation from the mean, potentially signaling an overbought or oversold scenario.
- A dark, transparent box might indicate a weak, insignificant deviation, suggesting the price is behaving typically and is close to its average.

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.
Open Interest Profile (OI)- By LeviathanThis script implements the concept of Open Interest Profile, which can help you analyze the activity of traders and identify the price levels where they are opening/closing their positions. This data can serve as a confluence for finding the areas of support and resistance , targets and placing stop losses. OI profiles can be viewed in the ranges of days, weeks, months, Tokyo sessions, London sessions and New York sessions.
A short introduction to Open Interest
Open Interest is a metric that measures the total amount of open derivatives contracts in a specific market at a given time. A valid contract is formed by both a buyer who opens a long position and a seller who opens a short position. This means that OI represents the total value of all open longs and all open shorts, divided by two. For example, if Open Interest is showing a value of $1B, it means that there is $1B worth of long and $1B worth of short contracts currently open/unsettled in a given market.
OI increasing = new long and short contracts are entering the market
OI decreasing = long and short contracts are exiting the market
OI unchanged = the net amount of positions remains the same (no new entries/exits or just a transfer of contracts occurring)
About this indicator
*This script is basically a modified version of my previous "Market Sessions and Volume Profile by @LeviathanCapital" indicator but this time, profiles are generated from Tradingview Open Interest data instead of volume (+ some other changes).
The usual representation of OI shows Open Interest value and its change based on time (for a particular day, time frame or each given candle). This indicator takes the data and plots it in a way where you can see the OI activity (change in OI) based on price levels. To put it simply, instead of observing WHEN (time) positions are entering/exiting the market, you can now see WHERE (price) positions are entering/exiting the market. This is the same concept as when it comes to Volume and Volume profile and therefore, similar strategies and ways of understanding the given data can be applied here. You can even combine the two to gain an edge (eg. high OI increase + Volume Profile showing dominant market selling = possible aggressive shorts taking place)
Green nodes = OI increase
Red nodes = OI decrease
A cluster of large green nodes can be used for support and resistance levels (*trapped traders theory) or targets (lots of liquidations and stop losses above/below), OI Profile gaps can present an objective for the price to fill them (liquidity gaps, imbalances, inefficiencies, etc), and more.
Indicator settings
1. Session/Lookback - Choose the range from where the OI Profile will be generated
2. OI Profile Mode - Mode 1 (shows only OI increase), Mode 2 (shows both OI increase and decrease), Mode 3 (shows OI decrease on left side and OI increase on the right side).
3. Show OI Value Area - Shows the area where most OI activity took place (useful as a range or S/R level )

Advice
The indicator calculates the profile based on candles - the more candles you can show, the better profile will be formed. This means that it's best to view most sessions on timeframes like 15min or lower. The only exception is the Monthly profile, where timeframes above 15min should be used. Just take a few minutes and switch between timeframes and sessions and you will figure out the optimal settings.
This is the first version of Open Interest Profile script so please understand that it will be improved in future updates.
Thank you for your support.
** Some profile generation elements are inspired by @LonesomeTheBlue's volume profile script
Open Interest Profile [Fixed Range] - By LeviathanThis script generates an aggregated Open Interest profile for any user-selected range and provides several other features and tools, such as OI Delta Profile, Positive Delta Levels, OI Heatmap, Range Levels, OIWAP, POC and much more.
The indicator will help you find levels of interest based on where other market participants are opening and closing their positions. This provides a deeper insight into market activity and serves as a foundation for various different trading strategies (trapped traders, supply and demand, support and resistance, liquidity gaps, imbalances,liquidation levels, etc). Additionally, this indicator can be used in conjunction with other tools such as Volume Profile.
Open Interest (OI) is a key metric in derivatives markets that refers to the total number of unsettled or open contracts. A contract is a mutual agreement between two parties to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price. Each contract consists of a long side and a short side, with one party consenting to buy (long) and the other agreeing to sell (short). The party holding the long position will profit from an increase in the asset's price, while the one holding the short position will profit from the price decline. Every long position opened requires a corresponding short position by another market participant, and vice versa. Although there might be an imbalance in the number of accounts or traders holding long and short contracts, the net value of positions held on each side remains balanced at a 1:1 ratio. For instance, an Open Interest of 100 BTC implies that there are currently 100 BTC worth of longs and 100 BTC worth of shorts open in the market. There might be more traders on one side holding smaller positions, and fewer on the other side with larger positions, but the net value of positions on both sides is equivalent - 100 BTC in longs and 100 BTC in shorts (1:1). Consider a scenario where a trader decides to open a long position for 1 BTC at a price of $30k. For this long order to be executed, a counterparty must take the opposite side of the contract by placing a short order for 1 BTC at the same price of $30k. When both long and short orders are matched and executed, the Open Interest increases by 1 BTC, indicating the introduction of this new contract to the market.
The meaning of fluctuations in Open Interest:
- OI Increase - signifies new positions entering the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Decrease - indicates positions exiting the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Flat - represents no change in open positions due to low activity or a large number of contract transfers (contracts changing hands instead of being closed).
Typically, we monitor Open Interest in the form of its running value, either on a chart or through OI Delta histograms that depict the net change in OI for each price bar. This indicator enhances Open Interest analysis by illustrating the distribution of changes in OI on the price axis rather than the time axis (akin to Volume Profiles). While Volume Profile displays the volume that occurred at a given price level, the Open Interest Profile offers insight into where traders were opening and closing their positions.

Range Analysis - By LeviathanThe Interactive Range Analysis script is an essential tool for analyzing price ranges. It automatically draws important range levels, generates a Volume Profile or Open Interest profile and horizontal/vertical heatmaps, plots the anchored VWAP, draws Fibonacci levels, and much more.
How to use the indicator:
1. The script will prompt you to select the "Start Time" and "End Time" using Tradingview's interactive interface. These two points will determine the length of the range.
2. Once you have selected the range, the script will automatically anchor the range highs and lows to the highest and lowest close/wick/hlc3/ohlc4 (whichever you prefer).
3. You can then begin exploring different tools and options such as Quarters, Eighths, Fibonacci, Outer Levels, VWAP, Horizontal Volume/OI Heatmap, Vertical Volume/OI Heatmap, Fixed Range Volume Profile, Open Interest Profile, Value Area, VAH, VAL, and POC.
4. You can adjust the range by dragging the Start Time and End Time anchors or by removing/reapplying the script.
Tool overview
Range Levels
After selecting your preferred time range, the script will identify and draw a range high level and a range low level, which serve as a base for other important levels. “Half” is the level halfway between the range high and range low. “Quarters” will, as the name suggests, split the range into four equal zones (quarters) and “Eighths” will split the range into eight equal zones (eighths).
”Fibonacci” option allows you to display Fibonacci retracement levels (0.786, 0.618, 0.382, 0.236). “VWAP” will plot a Volume Weighted Average Price, anchored to the start of the range. “Direction” input lets you choose whether your range is UP or DOWN trending in order to make sure that the Fibonacci levels and labels are generated and assigned correctly. With “Outer” turned ON, the script will also generate active levels (quarters/eighths/Fibonacci) above and below the selected price range. “Extend Right” will extend all levels to the right indefinitely, while “Extend (+Bars)” lets you choose how far right the levels get extended. “Diagonal Line” is drawn from the bottom left of the range to the top right of the range or from the top left of the range to the bottom right of the range, depending on the “Direction” input.
Volume Profile / Open Interest Profile
After selecting the “Data Type”, Volume Profile or OI Profile can be generated by turning ON the “Volume/OI Profile” option.
“Resolution” input defines the amount of nodes/rows in the range that are used in profile/heatmap generation for distributing the data. While you can increase the “Resolution” to get better, more granular profiles, you should keep in mind that you might need to lower the resolution when generating profiles for larger ranges.
”Node Type” offers you two options when it comes to the representation of data: Up/Down - divides a node in two sections for up volume/OI and down volume/OI, Total - one node for total volume/OI and Delta - net difference in up volume/OI and down volume/OI.
”Profile Position” lets you choose whether the profile is positioned on the left side of the range or on the right side of the range.
“Profile Direction” determines whether the profile nodes are facing right or left.
“Profile Type” enables you to visualize the nodes in a classic way (Type 1) or in a way where down volume/negative OI are positioned on the left side of the y axis and up volume/positive OI on the right side of the y axis.
“Node Size (%)” defines how much space in the range can be taken by the profile’s nodes. Eg. 50% will allow the largest node to extend to the middle of the range (and others scaled accordingly), 100% will allow the largest node to extend the max right point of the range (and others scaled accordingly).
”Value Area (%)” defines the VA zone, which represents the area where the most volume occured (usually 70% or 68%).
”Horizontal Heatmap” will display a heatmap-like overlay, that will help you identify the price levels where most volume/open interest action occurred.
”Vertical Heatmap” will display a heatmap-like overlay, that will help you identify the points in time where most volume/open interest action occurred.
A more detailed description of this indicator is coming in the next few days.
Important:
* If volume or OI profile does not get generated, try lowering the resolution.
* Once in a while, the script will disappear from your chart. Just remove and reapply.
* Open Interest data is only avaiable on Binance Perpetual Futures pairs

Market Core [BigBeluga]MARKET CORE Toolkit
The BigBeluga Market Core Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of advanced trading indicators designed to provide traders with a holistic view of market dynamics, structure, and potential opportunities.
In an ever-evolving market, relying on a single indicator can leave traders vulnerable to gaps in their analysis. The BigBeluga Market Core Toolkit addresses this challenge by integrating a range of complementary indicators that work synergistically to reveal the full picture. From detecting key support and resistance levels to identifying market structure shifts, volume imbalances, inefficiencies or analysis of money flow, this toolkit covers every aspect of market behavior.
⬤ Order Blocks
BigBeluga Order Blocks revolutionize the way traders visualize potential areas of significant market activity. Unlike traditional order block indicators that often result in cluttered, noisy charts, these Order Blocks are designed for clarity and effectiveness. They simulate and predict where large areas of market orders may rest by analyzing volume and volatility, providing excellent support or resistance areas.
The blocks offer cleaner chart presentation with reasonable distribution, volume ratio visualization within each block, and categorization into Strong, High and Balanced blocks.
Additionally, a third line has been introduced to rank order blocks by volume using a modified percent rank method for more precise ranking.
This ranking system uses percentile ranks, a concept commonly used in standardized tests. In the context of order blocks, the percentile rank of a particular order block's volume is interpreted as the percentage of the order blocks strength. This method provides a more nuanced and statistically robust way of comparing and prioritizing order blocks.
Key features:
Cleaner chart presentation with reasonable distribution of blocks
Volume ratio visualization within each block (bullish vs bearish)
Categorization into High and Balanced blocks for easy identification of significant levels
Relative volume percentage and volume delta display
Advanced ranking system using modified percent rank method for volume comparison
These Order Blocks help traders:
Forecast excellent support or resistance areas
Gain insight into the balance of the market at specific levels
Identify significant market levels at a glance
Visualize market imbalances through volume delta
Prioritize order blocks based on their relative volume importance
Make more informed decisions about potential entry and exit points
⬤ Beluga Profile
The Beluga Profile is a revolutionary market analysis tool that transforms complex market data into a clear, intuitive visual narrative. At its core, it combines a Dual-Profile Analysis, merging Delta Volume Profile with Money Flow Profile to give traders a comprehensive view of market dynamics.
The percentage scale on the left side aren't just numbers; they represent the Levels Strength Percentage, a crucial ranking system that immediately draws your attention to the most significant price zones. Complementing this, a heat map overlay brings these strength levels to life, offering an instant, color-coded representation of where the market's most influential areas lie.
To the right, a detailed breakdown of volume and money flow for each level provides the hard data behind the visual cues. This granular information allows you to dive deep into the market's structure, understanding not just where the significant levels are, but why they matter.
Below the main chart, the Delta Volume Bar serves as a foundation, showing the average delta of the volume profile. This bar is more than just a measure of volume – it's a window into the underlying forces driving price movement. Just above this bar, a macro trend indicator in the form of an arrow offers a quick, clear signal of the overall market direction based on these delta volume calculations.
But the Beluga Profile doesn't just show you what's happening – it helps you understand the 'why' and 'how'. The Adaptive Points of Interest feature allows you to customize your analysis, focusing on the areas that matter most to your trading strategy. You can select from various options including Money Flow, Delta+, Delta-, Volume+, and Level % (Highest), tailoring the display to your specific analytical needs. This flexibility ensures you can focus on the most relevant data for your trading style. Real-time Active Price Tracking ensures you're always in sync with the latest market movements.
All of these elements work in concert, creating a symphony of market information. They empower you to:
Spot key price levels with uncanny precision
Foresee potential market turns before they happen
Grasp the quality and strength of price moves
Adjust your strategy on the fly as market conditions shift
Develop a holistic understanding of market structure and participant behavior
Make informed decisions backed by a clear view of the overall market trend
In essence, the Beluga Profile isn't just a tool – it's your market storyteller, translating the complex language of price, volume, and money flow into a narrative that you can understand and act upon with confidence.
⬤ Smart Money Concepts (SMC)
The Smart Money Concepts component of the toolkit focuses on automatically detecting key market structures crucial in technical analysis. It identifies and visualizes Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHOCH) patterns, helping traders spot potential trend reversals and significant market movements. This includes BOS identification when price breaks previous support or resistance and CHOCH detection for potential trend reversals, with automatic detection of both bullish and bearish patterns.
The latest enhancement to this feature adds a new layer of analysis through Delta Volume Calculation. When a BOS or CHOCH is detected, the toolkit calculates the delta volume within the range from the high or low point to the break point. This analysis considers all the candles in this range and determines whether the volume is predominantly bullish, bearish, or neutral.
Bullish Volume: If the delta volume is bullish, a green diamond is plotted at the high or low point, indicating potential upward momentum.
Bearish Volume: If the delta volume is bearish, a red diamond is plotted, suggesting downward pressure.
Neutral Volume: When the volume is neutral, a yellow diamond is displayed, indicating a balance in buying and selling forces.
This visual representation of volume dynamics provides an additional layer of insight, helping traders assess the strength and direction of price movements following a structure break. You can see an example of this on the attached image, where the diamonds clearly indicate the type of volume driving the breakout.
The toolkit also incorporates Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection. Fair Value Gaps represent inefficiencies in the market, where there is an imbalance between buy and sell orders. These gaps often act as magnets for price, potentially leading to future reversals or continuations when filled. The toolkit identifies and highlights these gaps, allowing traders to recognize areas where the market may seek to rebalance.
Additionally, Double Top and Bottom Pattern Detection has been integrated, identifying potential reversal points at these classic price formations. Double tops signal potential bearish reversals after a price peak, while double bottoms suggest potential bullish reversals after a price dip. These patterns can be crucial indicators for traders looking to capitalize on upcoming trend changes.
Smart Money Concepts help traders:
Identify potential trend reversals early with a clearer view of market structure.
Recognize significant changes in market structure and volume participation.
Differentiate between temporary pullbacks and genuine trend changes using volume insights (color coded diamonds).
Shows Fair Value gaps which helps to identify price momentum and inefficiencies in the market.
This enhancement ensures that traders can not only see structural changes but also understand the volume behind those moves, leading to more informed and confident trading decisions.
⬤ Support and Resistance Levels
This powerful tool is designed to identify key price levels in the market, providing traders with a clear visual representation of potential support and resistance areas. It goes beyond simple level identification by incorporating a sophisticated ranking system and adjustable sensitivity.
The grading system of levels is a unique feature that evaluates the significance of high and low points in the price action. It takes into consideration how many times the price has touched or interacted with specific levels. This means that levels which have been tested multiple times are given higher importance in the ranking. For example, a price level that has acted as support or resistance three times will be ranked higher than a level that has only been touched once.
By leveraging this grading system, traders can focus on the most significant levels that have repeatedly influenced price action, potentially improving the accuracy of their trading decisions and risk management strategies.
This Support and Resistance Levels indicator helps traders:
Identify and prioritize potential reversal points based on their historical significance and frequency of price interaction
Set more accurate entry and exit points aligned with key market levels, focusing on those with higher ranking
Understand the hierarchical structure of market support and resistance, distinguishing between major and minor levels
Plan stop-loss and take-profit levels with greater precision, using the ranking to gauge the strength of each level
Adapt their analysis to varying market strengths and volatilities, with the ability to filter out less significant levels
Recognize recurring price patterns and potential breakout levels based on the ranked historical price interactions
⬤ How to Use the Toolkit
Each of these indicators, while powerful on its own, works synergistically with the others to provide a more complete picture of the market.
The strength of this toolkit lies in its ability to analyze the market from multiple perspectives
Combining these advanced trading indicators into a cohesive toolkit empowers traders with a comprehensive, multi-dimensional view of the market that no single indicator could provide on its own. The market's complexity demands an approach that goes beyond relying on just one aspect, such as price action, volume, or order flow. Integrating these diverse indicators creates a robust analytical framework that captures the market from multiple angles, leading to more accurate insights and better-informed decision-making.

Market Structure Volume Distribution [LuxAlgo]The Market Structure Volume Distribution tool allows traders to identify the strength behind breaks of market structure at defined price ranges to measure de correlation of forces between bulls and bears visually and easily.
🔶 USAGE
This tool has three main features: market structure highlighting, grid levels, and volume profile. Each feature is covered more in depth below:
🔹 Market Structure
The basic unit of market structure is a swing point, the period of the swing point is user-defined, so traders can identify longer-term market structures. Price breaking a prior swing point will confirm the occurrence of a market structure.
The tool will plot a line after a market structure is confirmed, by default the lines on bullish MS will be green (indicative of an uptrend), and red in case of bearish MS (indicative of a downtrend).
🔹 Grid Levels
The Grid visually divides the price range contained inside the tool execution window, into equal size rows, the number of rows is user-defined so users can divide the full price range up to 100 rows.
The main objective of this feature is to help identify the execution window and the limits of each row in the volume profile so traders can know in a simple look what BoMS belongs to each row.
There is however another use for the grid, by dividing the range into equal-sized parts, this feature provides automatic support and resistance levels as good as any other.
Grid provides a visual help to know what our execution window is and to associate MS with their rows in the profile. It can provide S/R levels too.
🔹 Volume Profile
The volume profile feature shows in a visually easy way the volume behind each MS aggregated by rows and divided into buy and sell volume to spot the differences in a simple look.
This tool allows users to spot the liquidity associated with the event of a market structure in a specific price range, allowing users to know which price areas where associated with the most trading activity during the occurrence of a market structutre.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Data Gathering
Execute on all visible range: Activate this to use all visible bars on the calculations. This disables the use of the next parameter "Execute on the last N bars". Default false.
Execute on the last N bars: Use last N bars on the calculations. To use this parameter "Execute on all visible range" must be disabled. Values from 20 to 5000, default 500.
Pivot Length: How many bars will be used to confirm a pivot. The bigger this parameter is the fewer breaks of structure will detect. Values from 1, default 2
🔹 Profile
Profile Rows: Number of rows in the volume profile. Values from 2 to 100, default 10.
Profile Width: Maximum width of the volume profile. Values from 25 to 500, default 200.
Profile Mode: How the volume will be displayed on each row. "TOTAL VOLUME" will aggregate buy & sell volume per row, "BUY&SELL VOLUME" will separate the buy volume from the sell volume on each row. Default BUY&SELL VOLUME.
🔹 Style
Buy Color: This is the color for the buy volume on the profile when the "BUY&SELL VOLUME" mode is activated. Default green.
Sell Color: This is the color for the sell volume on the profile when the "BUY&SELL VOLUME" mode is activated. Default red.
Show dotted grid levels: Show dotted inner grid levels. Default true.
Open Liquidity Heatmap [BigBeluga]Open Liquidity Heatmap is an indicator designed to display accumulated resting liquidity on the chart.
Unlike any other liquidity heatmap, this aims to accumulate liquidity at specific levels that build up over time, showing larger areas of liquidity.
🔶 FEATURES
The indicator includes the following settings:
Lookback : Used to determine the range calculation of the heatmap.
Leverage : Leverage of the liquidation (Counted as % in price, Example: 4.5 will return a distance from price of 4.5%, indicating any possible resting liquidity in this range).
Levels : Amount of levels to display (Each level is counted as liquidity resting on the chart; fewer levels will return a bigger area of liquidity sitting on the chart).
Mode : Apply a color gradient from the minimum liquidation to the maximum liquidity level. Set the maximum color gradient value (Counted as volume).
Offset : Automatically determine the offset range of the Volume Profiles. Manual offset of the Volume Profiles.
🔶 CALCULATION
for i = 0 to step - 1
float plotter = na
switch i
0 =>
plotter := hs
=>
plotter := hs - diff * ( i )
cls.hm.gnL(plotter)
cls.vp.put(plotter, 0)
We calculate levels like a normal volume profile with steps, from the highest point within the lookback to the lowest one. Each level will contain the corresponding amount of volume that the candle has closed in that range.
As we can see in the image above, we add liquidity each time the distance in % from price is between two levels.
Unlike many liquidity indicators that provide a single candle liquidity heatmap, this aims to add up liquidity (volume) in already present levels.
This can be extremely useful to see which levels are likely to be more liquid and tend to get a bigger reaction to the price.
Imagine it like a range of levels that each time price revisits that area, a new position area is added; we add volume in that area each time price visits that zone. Liquidity builds up in those zones, causing a bigger reaction to the price once the price visits it.
This indicator is not the same as a single candle heatmap like many others. What is a single candle heatmap?
A single candle heatmap is when a level is created on every new candle, coloring the level based on the total volume of it.
This indicator, on the contrary, aims to provide a more specific use by adding up liquidity each time price visits it.
🔶 BASIC DEMOSTRATION
This is a basic demonstration of how we can spot high liquidity points overall using confluence:
We see the POC of the liquidation in a low volume area of the normal volume profile adding up as confluence.
Resistance from the POC Volume Profile suggesting price will go lower.
Major long open liquidity down.
As we can see, price takes out all the long liquidity and right after pumping, indicating that all the major liquidity got taken out.
Some key note to take is that a POC in the liquidation heatmap in a low volume area of the normal Volume Profile add confluence of a possible big reaction in that zone.
In the forex market, we suggest to use a low distance from price (Leverage) while in a crypto market you can use the one that fit the best the current timeframe.
🔶 CONCLUSION
This indicator aims to show open resting liquidity that had built up over time, showing the most amount of liquidation in specific areas in an aggregated way unlike many liquidation heatmap indicators that show single-level liquidation.
🔶 RELATED SCRIPT
Supply, Demand and Equilibrium Zones, Interactive by DGTSupply, Demand and Equilibrium Zones, Interactive
The law of supply and demand is a theory that explains the interaction between the sellers of an asset and the buyers for that asset. The theory defines the relationship between the price of a given asset and the willingness of traders to either buy or sell it. Generally, as price increases, traders are willing to supply more and demand less and vice versa when the price falls.
Simply said, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded, and from the seller's perspective, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied
Equilibrium zones are the price levels where both selling and buying trading activity is high, both sellers and buyres are interested at that price levels. More correctly, there is a great deal of activity on both the buy and sell side and the market stays at that price level for a great deal of time. Supply and demand are balanced or in equilibrium
Supply and Demand Shifts may occur when institutional investors step in, a change in both price and quantity demanded from one point to another
This experimental study attempts to presend Supply, Demand and Equilibrium Zones by measuring traded volume at all price levels on the market over a specified time period. Then the result is plotted as horizontal zones on the finacial isntrumnet's chart that highlights supply, demand and equilibrium zones at specific price levels
It is important for supply, demand and equilibrium zones to understand that time is always a dimension on charts. The quantity demanded or supplied, found along the horizontal axis, is always measured in traded volume of the asset over a given time interval. Longer or shorter time intervals can influence the levels of supply, demand and equilibrium zones
The study is made interactive, which requires the users to select two points on the chart, by simply clicking on the chart. In case the user would like to view different range then just dragging the vertical lines will be enough
By increasing/decreasing values for supply and demand zones or equilibrium zones, you will either get the zones enlarged or detect supply and demand shifts or other equilibrium zones
It is adviced to use this study in conjuction with a Volume Profile study, such as Volume-Profile-and-Volume-Indicator , Volume-Profile-Custom-Range , Anchored-Volume-Profile , and Price-Action-Support-Resistance , where volume profiles presents trading activities at specific price levels and Supply and Demand Zones can be treated as Value Area (they are not exact same but similar) for Volume Profiles

Delta Profile SpaceManBTCDelta Profile SpaceManBTC
Delta Profile SpaceManBTC, provides 2 very useful functions to tradingview traders with increased statistic for their candles in which case they can use to add confluence to their trading style.
Profile Types:
There are 2 main modes as it stands:
Delta Profile: Comes with the ability to show where buyers and sellers are stepping in more aggressively at which points to show a representation of trapped traders easier and aggression in the market.
Volume Profile: Can be used to do the same but in a more pure volume form, as well as allows for an ease in detecting a momentum shift.
Statistic Types: works with all modes
Ask/Bid Ask bid gives you the pure representation of that data showing at which points buyers stepped in and seller stepped in, no additional calculation on top.
Delta Delta shows the difference between, ie delta, for the ask and bid so its easier to view the difference at loss of the exact values used.
Volume Volume, shows the pure volumetric values no explanation of who buyers and sellers are allowing for a clean view of what is happening in the market with no code functionality applied.
The statistics are not isolated to their desired profile type as this provides the ability to use the volume profile type and delta values and vice versa, allowing users to choose which UI representation they want but which data.
This allows users to get both parts of the picture at any one time!
Using the tick data provided i am able to accurately caclulate the information, however this means for historical data there is none until the script is run for a period of time without stopping.
The tool is a method of providing flow data to the tradingview community, it can allow for good confluences at key levels of interaction E.G., key swing points/S/R points is when its accuracy for trading shines and can give you a good understanding of whats
happening at that time in the market.
Highly recommend dialing the ticksize manually. this provides greater consistency, auto ticksize was made for entry level users to quickly get a feel of the indicator but manually tuning to get the data you require without too much noise is very useful.
TO DO:

Pivot Point Profile [LuxAlgo]The Pivot Point Profile indicator groups and displays data accumulated from previous pivot points, providing a comprehensive method for prioritizing and displaying areas of interest directly given by swing highs and lows.
Users have access to common settings present in other profile-type indicators.
🔶 USAGE
The Pivot Point Profile is particularly helpful in identifying highly active reversal zones that have been visited multiple times by price. Because of this, we could generally expect these areas to serve as future points of interest, often acting as support or resistance when re-visited.
The profile displays data associated with both Pivot Highs and Pivot Lows. Each row consists of pivot high and pivot low counts side-by-side, forming the total width of the row.
By analyzing the row as a whole, we can gain a better understanding of WHERE to look for interactions.
By analyzing the pivot counts independently, we can gain a better understanding of WHAT to expect when returning to these areas.
For example:
If a row in the profile contains entirely Pivot Lows, this could be seen as an indication to look for buyers to hold that level for a continuation upwards. A break of this level could be interpreted as a lack of interest from previous buyers at this level, indicating a further move down.
🔹 Concentrated Areas
Each row in the profile displays the current count of high pivots and low pivots within the selected lookback. The largest count for each pivot direction is identified as a "Concentrated Area (CA)", these CAs are highlighted over the chart with a line displaying the average of all pivots within that CA. The CA Average is the average of all pivot points (in the majority direction) within the given row.
These can hold more importance as potential support/resistance areas.
Note: The CA Threshold can be manually adjusted to highlight all rows based on a user-selected value.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Calculation
The idea behind the Pivot Point Profile is a new analysis method for pivot points, taking the idea of a volume profile and adapting it to display pivot points instead of volume. By using this data, in theory, we should be able to better prioritize zones to anticipate reversals, as well as identify key levels to watch for buyer & seller interactions to use as confirmations in direction.
The (vertical) width of each row is the product of the script's "Row Size", this is the number of rows that the profile will consist of. With a max of 250, the profile can be decently granular. That being said, A more granular profile will have fewer overlapping pivot points. By decreasing the row size (Using fewer rows in the profile) you will increase the tolerance for grouping pivot points. Potentially leading to a more comprehensive Profile. Inversely, By reducing the tolerance for grouping, you will better visualize only similar highs and lows but may have noisier data to sift through.
The Profile is calculated based on a "Lookback" parameter, using only the lookback amount of previous high and low pivots to calculate the profile. Configuring this parameter alongside "Pivot Length", will allow for great control over the frame of reference of the profile.
Note: This indicator is capable of utilizing the full chart history of pivot points, this can be done by enabling the "Use Full Chart History" setting, this will cause the script will calculate from everything it has access to on your current chart.
🔹 Display
The Pivot Point Profile display can be customized to fit a various range of chart styles and visual needs. The specific settings to adjust these can be located in the "Profile Display" Section of the User Inputs.
Profile Width: Sets the Left to Right Width of the Profile. This is the maximum width that the profile will occupy and will scale to fit within this width.
Profile Offset: Sets the distance of the Profile's Axis from the current chart candle. This moves the entire profile left and right to enable to user to set the distance between the profile and the current candle.
Direction: Changes the display direction of the profile, allowing for "Left", "Right", or "Center" display styles.
🔶 SETTINGS

Depth of Market (DOM) [LuxAlgo]The Depth Of Market (DOM) tool allows traders to look under the hood of any market, taking price and volume analysis to the next level. The following features are included: DOM, Time & Sales, Volume Profile, Depth of Market, Imbalances, Buying Pressure, and up to 24 key intraday levels (it really packs a punch).
As a disclaimer, this tool does not use tick data, it is a DOM reconstruction from the provided real-time time series data (price and volume). So the volume you see is from filled orders only, this tool does not show unfilled limit orders.
Traders can enable or disable any of the features at will to avoid being overwhelmed with too much information and to make the tool perform faster.
The features that have the biggest impact on performance are Historical Data Collection, Key Levels (POC & VWAP), Time & Sales, Profile, and Imbalances. Disable these features to improve the indicator computational performance.
🔶 DOM
This is the simplest form of the tool, a simple DOM or ladder that displays the following columns:
PRICE: Price level
BID: Total number of market sell orders filled or limit buy orders filled.
SELL: Sell market orders
BUY: Buy market orders
ASK: Total number of market buy orders filled or limit sell orders filled.
The DOM only collects historical data from the last 24 hours and real-time data.
Traders can select a reset period for the DOM with two options:
DAILY: Resets at the beginning of each trading day
SESSIONS: Resets twice, as DAILY and 15.5 hours later, to coincide with the start of the RTH session for US tickers.
The DOM has two main modes, it can display price levels as ticks or points. The default is automatic based on the current daily volatility, but traders can manually force one mode or the other if they wish.
For convenience, traders have the option to set the number of lines (price levels), and the size of the text and to display only real-time data.
By default, the top price is set to 0 so that the DOM automatically adjusts the price levels to be displayed, but traders can set the top price manually so that the tool displays only the desired price levels in a fixed manner.
🔹 Volume Profile
As additional features to the basic DOM, traders have access to the volume profile histogram and the total volume per price level.
This helps traders identify at a glance key price areas where volume is accumulating (high volume nodes) or areas where volume is lacking (low volume nodes) - these areas are important to some traders who base their decision-making process on them.
🔹 Imbalances
Other added features are imbalances and buying pressure:
Interlevel Imbalance: volume delta between two different price levels
Intralevel Imbalance: delta between buy and sell volume at the same price level
Buying Pressure Percent: percentage of buy volume compared to total volume
Imbalances can help traders identify areas of interest in the price for possible support or resistance.
🔹 Depth
Depth allows traders to see at a glance how much supply is above the current price level or how much demand is below the current price level.
Above the current price level shows the cumulative ask volume (filled sell limit orders) and below the current price level shows the cumulative bid volume (filled buy limit orders).
🔶 KEY LEVELS
The tool includes up to 24 different key intraday levels of particular relevance:
Previous Week Levels
PWH: Previous week high
PWL: Previous week low
PWM: Previous week middle
PWS: Previous week settlement (close)
Previous Day Levels
PDH: Previous day high
PDL: Previous day low
PDM: Previous day middle

Current Day Levels
OPEN: Open of day (or session)
HOD: High of day (or session)
LOD: Low of day (or session)
MOD: Middle of day (or session)
Opening Range
ORH: Open range high
ORL: Open range low
Initial Balance
IBH: Initial balance high
IBL: Initial balance low
VWAP

POC: Point of control
Different traders look at different levels, the key levels shown here are objective and specific areas of interest that traders can act on, providing us with potential areas of support or resistance in the price.
🔶 TIME & SALES
The tool also features a full-time and sales panel with time, price, and size columns, a size filter, and the ability to set the timezone to display time in the trader's local time.
The information shown here is what feeds the DOM and it can be useful in several ways, for example in detecting absorption. If a large number of orders are coming into the market but the price is barely moving, this indicates that there is enough liquidity at these levels to absorb all these orders, so if these orders stop coming into the market, the price may turn around.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Select the anchoring period to start data collection, DAILY will anchor at the start of the trading day, and SESSIONS will start as DAILY and 15.5 hours later (RTH for US tickers).
Mode: Select between AUTO and MANUAL modes for displaying TICKS or POINTS, in AUTO mode the tool will automatically select TICKS for tickers with a daily average volatility below 5000 ticks and POINTS for the rest of the tickers.

Volume Profile displays a vertical histogram on the right side of the price chart, representing the volume traded at each price level. The length of each bar corresponds to the total volume traded at that particular price level. Traders can analyze the shape and distribution of the Volume Profile to gain valuable information about the market structure.
Here's how Volume Profile is used and applied in trading:
Identifying Areas of High Volume:
Volume Profile helps traders identify areas of high trading activity. Peaks in the Volume Profile histogram indicate price levels where significant buying or selling pressure was present. These areas can act as support or resistance levels in the future, as they represent levels where traders have previously shown interest.
Understanding Price Acceptance and Rejection:
Volume Profile assists in determining whether the market has accepted or rejected specific price levels. When the volume is higher at a particular price level, it suggests that traders have accepted that price and consider it fair. On the other hand, low volume at a price level indicates rejection, suggesting that traders are not willing to transact at that price.
Identifying Value Areas:
Volume Profile can help identify value areas, which are price regions where the most volume has been traded. These areas are considered significant as they reflect levels where the market has found fair value and attracted substantial trading activity. Traders often pay attention to these value areas as potential support or resistance zones.
Confirming Breakouts and Reversals:
Volume Profile can be used to confirm the validity of breakouts and reversals. If a price breaks out of a range with high volume, it suggests strong conviction and increases the likelihood of a sustained move. Similarly, if a price reverses near a high-volume area, it provides additional confirmation of a potential trend reversal.
Assessing Market Sentiment:
By analyzing the shape and structure of the Volume Profile, traders can gain insights into market sentiment. A balanced Volume Profile with volume evenly distributed across price levels indicates a neutral market. Skewed or asymmetrical Volume Profiles may suggest bullish or bearish sentiment, depending on where the volume is concentrated.
It's important to note that traders often combine Volume Profile with price patterns, trendlines, and momentum indicators to validate signals and develop a comprehensive understanding of the market.
By studying the Volume Profile, traders can gain a clearer picture of where significant trading activity has occurred and identify levels of potential support, resistance, and value. This information can assist in making more informed trading decisions and improving overall market analysis.

VWAP(Volume Weighted Average Price) is a technical analysis tool that calculates the average price weighted by trading volume over a specified time period. It provides traders with insights into the average price at which a particular asset has traded during a given period, considering the volume traded at each price level.
Here's a general explanation of VWAP and its application in trading:
Calculation of VWAP:
VWAP is calculated by multiplying the price of each trade by its corresponding volume, summing these values over a specific time period, and dividing the total by the cumulative volume. The calculation continuously updates as new trades occur within the specified time frame.
Interpretation of VWAP:
VWAP is primarily used as a reference point to assess whether a current price is relatively high or low compared to the average price weighted by volume. Traders compare the current price to the VWAP to gauge whether the price is trading above or below the average level. If the price is above VWAP, it suggests that the asset is trading at a premium, while a price below VWAP indicates a discount.
VWAP as a Trading Indicator:
Traders use VWAP in various ways to support their trading decisions. Here are a few common applications:
a. Trend Identification: Traders analyze the relationship between the current price and VWAP to identify the prevailing market trend. If the price consistently trades above VWAP, it is often seen as a bullish signal, while prices below the VWAP is considered a bearish signal. This approach helps traders align their trades with the overall market direction.
b. Support and Resistance Levels: VWAP can act as a dynamic support or resistance level. Traders observe how the price reacts when approaching the VWAP. If the price bounces off the VWAP and continues in the direction of the prevailing trend, it may indicate support or resistance. Traders can use the VWAP as a reference for setting stop-loss levels or determining potential entry or exit points.
c. Reversal Signals: In some cases, when the price deviates significantly from VWAP, it may indicate overbought or oversold conditions. Traders watch for price reversals when the price moves away from the VWAP, potentially signaling a short-term market reversal.
d. Volume Analysis: VWAP considers volume along with price, providing insights into the significance of price moves. Traders analyze the relationship between volume and VWAP to evaluate the strength of price movements. Higher volume trading near the VWAP may suggest increased market interest and potential continuation of the trend.
It's worth noting that the VWAP is often used in intra-day trading and is more relevant for short-term analysis. Traders typically adjust the VWAP time frame based on their trading style and the asset being analyzed.
---
The Zig Zag works by filtering out price movements below a certain threshold (percentage or points) and only displaying significant price changes. This helps to eliminate minor price fluctuations and focus on the more substantial market movements.
When applying the Zig Zag indicator, traders typically select a percentage or point value as the threshold. For example, if a 5% threshold is chosen, the Zig Zag indicator will only plot a new point when the price has moved up or down by at least 5% from the previous significant high or low.
The indicator plots lines connecting the significant highs and lows on the price chart, creating a zigzag pattern. The lines are drawn in a way that reflects the change in the trend direction. The indicator can be adjusted to suit different timeframes and trading styles.
The primary purpose of the Zig Zag indicator is to identify and highlight trend reversals and price swings. Traders often use it to:
Identify major turning points: The Zig Zag indicator helps traders spot major highs and lows in the price action. These levels can act as potential support or resistance areas for future price movements.
Filter out noise: By filtering out minor price fluctuations, the Zig Zag indicator helps traders focus on the more significant price moves and trends. This can provide a clearer picture of the overall market direction.
Confirm chart patterns: The Zig Zag indicator can be used to confirm the validity of chart patterns, such as trendlines, channels, or chart formations. It can help traders validate breakouts, pullbacks, or continuation patterns.
Set trailing stops: Traders may use the Zig Zag indicator to set trailing stops based on the significant swing highs and lows. This allows them to trail their stop-loss orders behind the price action and potentially lock in profits as the trend develops.
Additionally, it's essential to customize the settings of the Zig Zag indicator according to the specific market being analyzed, as different markets and timeframes may require different threshold values for optimal performance.
Please keep in mind that while the Zig Zag indicator can provide valuable insights, it should be used alongside other analysis tools and not solely relied upon for trading decisions.

Fibonacci extensions and retracements are both technical analysis tools that traders use to identify potential levels of support and resistance in financial markets. Here's a clear understanding of each concept and how they are used in trading:
1. Fibonacci Retracement:
Fibonacci retracement is based on the idea that after an upward or downward price movement, the price tends to retrace a portion of that move before continuing in the original direction. The key levels used in Fibonacci retracement are based on ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence, such as 0.382 (38.2%), 0.500 (50%), and 0.618 (61.8%).
To apply Fibonacci retracements, traders typically select two significant points on a price chart: a swing high and a swing low. The retracement levels are then plotted as horizontal lines based on the Fibonacci ratios. These levels act as potential support (in an uptrend) or resistance (in a downtrend) where the price may reverse or consolidate before resuming the overall trend.
Traders often use Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential entry or exit points, place stop-loss orders, or assess the strength of a trend. The most commonly used retracement levels are 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8%, but other Fibonacci ratios like 23.6% and 78.6% are also sometimes used.
2. Fibonacci Extension:
Fibonacci extension is used to identify potential price targets beyond the initial trend or price move. It helps traders determine where the price may reach once it surpasses the previous swing high or swing low.
Similar to Fibonacci retracement, Fibonacci extension levels are derived from the Fibonacci sequence. The most commonly used extension levels are 138.2%, 161.8%, 261.8%, and 423.6%, although other ratios can also be applied.
To use Fibonacci extension, traders select three points on a price chart: a swing low, a swing high (corresponding to the previous trend), and a subsequent swing low or swing high (from where the extension is projected). The extension levels are then projected beyond the swing high or swing low, acting as potential price targets or areas of interest.
Fibonacci extension levels are often used to determine potential profit targets or to identify areas where a trend may reverse or consolidate. Traders may also use extensions in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm trade signals or assess the overall market structure

The Pitchfan tool is based on the concept of Andrew's Pitchfork, which is a popular technical analysis tool developed by Dr. Alan H. Andrews. It consists of three parallel trendlines that are drawn to encompass the price action of an asset. The trendlines are typically drawn by connecting three significant points on a price chart - usually a pivot high, a pivot low, and another pivot high.
Once the Pitchfork is plotted, the Pitchfan tool extends the concept by adding additional trendlines that are parallel to the original Pitchfork. These additional trendlines are drawn based on certain mathematical ratios (e.g., Fibonacci ratios) applied to the distance between the original trendlines.
The Pitchfan can be used to identify potential support and resistance levels, as well as potential areas for price reversal or continuation. Traders may look for price reactions near these trendlines, with the expectation that the price may find support or encounter resistance at these levels.

Higher timeframe opens refer to the opening prices of different sessions or timeframes above the one being currently analyzed. For example, in intra-day trading, higher timeframe opens can refer to the daily session open or the opening prices of other significant market sessions in the forex market.
In addition to higher timeframe opens, traders often utilize daily reference ranges by incorporating indicators such as Average True Range (ATR) and the previous day's range. These tools help traders gauge the potential price volatility for the day and establish reference levels for stop-loss orders, profit targets, overall risk management strategies and market knowledge to develop a comprehensive trading approach.

Quantum Volume Point of Control (VPOC)Many forex traders are familiar with the concepts of volume price analysis as enshrined in Wyckoff’s three laws of effort and result, cause and effect and supply and demand. This is the linear relationship between volume and price. Now with the Volume Point of Control, this relationship is taken to the next level adding the concept of time and inspired by the ideas behind market profile.
The Quantum Volume Point of Control, or VPOC indicator blends ALL THREE of these important aspects of trading into a single powerful and visual indicator.
The Quantum VPOC indicator takes the analysis of volume and price to a higher level, which both complements and expands the VPA relationship. Whilst the Quantum tick volumes indicator considers the relationship between a single volume bar and its associated candle on the price time x-axis or groups of candles and volume bars, the Quantum VPOC indicator analyses the density and intensity of volume over time against price. In other words, the volume price relationship on the y axis. It does this in three distinct ways as follows:
First, the Quantum VPOC indicator constructs the Volume Profile from a set number of bars in history to the most current bar. The Volume Profile is then presented as a vertical histogram shown at the right edge of the chart – a stack of horizontal bars of varying lengths, but of equal height representing the amount of activity at each price level.
Second, the Quantum VPOC analyzes the Volume Profile to find the key price levels where activity is strong and rising, or weak and falling. In other words, the indicator looks for peaks (long bars) of the Volume Profile where price tends to be attracted as these are areas where price was previously accepted. These are called High Volume Nodes (HVN). The indicator also looks for troughs or valleys (short bars) of the Volume Profile where price tends to be repelled as these are areas where price was previously rejected. These are referred to as Low Volume Nodes (LVN). Both types of price level act as precise zones of support and resistance and as such are projected across the chart within the given period.
Third, the Quantum VPOC indicator looks for the Highest Volume Node or the highest peak in the Volume Profile and marks it as the Volume Point of Control – the price level which acts as the fulcrum from which price pivots. The indicator completes its calculations and updates as each new volume bar is delivered.
The result is a chart revealing the overarching influence of volume at price, coupled with time.
The Quantum VPOC indicator displays several key pieces of information on the chart as follows:
- Volume Profile – this appears as a histogram of volume on the vertical price axis on the right-hand side of the chart. The peaks and troughs are clearly displayed highlighting both High and Low Volume nodes.
- High volume node (HVN) – this is where we have a bulge in the volume profile generally because of an extended phase of price congestion. As a result, as the market approaches these regions on the chart price action is likely to become waterlogged with further congestion likely with the node acting as a strong area of support or resistance. As we have seen a strong acceptance of price at this level in the past, this is likely to be repeated with the market swinging in a range. Ultimately the market may reverse off these levels, with any move through then confirming the current sentiment.
- Low volume node (LVN) – this is where we see low volume in the volume profile. In these regions, the market has only paused temporarily – in other words a region where price has been rejected in the past. As such we are likely to see the market move quickly through these regions with little in the way of resistance or support acting to prevent a further advance of decline in price. The current sentiment is likely to continue and build quickly through these levels.
- Support and Resistance Zones – these are drawn at the High and Low Volume nodes to highlight the various HVN and LVN levels on the price axis.
- Volume Point of Control Line – this is drawn as a single line on the highest volume of the High Volume Node in the timeframe and clearly defines the tipping point of sentiment. This moves dynamically and represents the fulcrum of market sentiment where price has reached agreement, before moving on. If it is above the price action, then the current market sentiment is bearish. If it is below the current price action, then the current market sentiment is bullish. The VPOC Line reveals this balance simply, quickly, and clearly allowing you to judge market sentiment with accuracy and confidence.
As with all the Quantum Trading indicators, the VPOC indicator is dynamic, constantly changing and updating to reflect the relentless shift in sentiment as the market moves from bullish to bearish and back again. The indicator works in all timeframes and provides a powerful and much deeper understanding of support and resistance through the prism of volume and the associated High and Low Volume Nodes, with the Point of Control itself, acting as the fulcrum of the market.

TwV Multi-timeframe Dynamic VRVPMulti-timeframe Dynamic Visible Range Volume Profile
The volume profile is an indicator that displays trading activity over a specified period and plots a histogram on the chart which reveals dominant and significant price levels based on volume and in essence gives a clear indication of Supply or demand at a certain price rather than volume in a certain period.
What makes this VRVP indicator different from other is that it is multi-timeframe and dynamic, meaning that it has the ability to show the POC for a higher timeframe and that it also recalculates the main POC every single time traders adjust the chart.
Most VRVP need to be adjusted to a fixed position for the Main POC, I made an improvement by giving the indicator the ability to identify the bars that are being look at in the screen, this really gives traders the possibility and agility to identify potential support and resistance areas without the need to be changing any settings on the indicator.
Furthermore, giving the ability to the indicator to be multi-timeframe allows traders not only to work with a point of control in one timeframe, but also have a dashed line plotting the Point of Control of a HIGHER timeframe, which could potentially be a strongest support or resistance. The multi-timeframe point of control is fixed only.
This VRVP is completely similar to the official Trading View paid subscription one.
Fundamentals
Point of Control (POC): The price level for the time period with the highest traded volume. The POC is represented by an amber line within the indicator.
Profile High: The highest reached price level during the specified time period
Profile Low: The lowest reached price level during the specified time period.
Value Area (VA): The range of price levels in which a specified percentage of all volume was traded during the time period. Typically, this percentage is set to 70% however it is up to the trader’s discretion.
Value Area High (VAH): The highest price level within the value area.
Value Area Low (VAL): The lowest price level within the value area.
Usage
The Resistance and Support levels can be provided by the Volume profile using a reactive method so they constantly change with price action and give a clearer picture to predict future price movements. The Reactive method relies on past price movements at certain price levels and applies a more significant understanding of price reaction at certain meaningful levels
Support levels will be areas where price will be supported on the way down.
Resistance levels will be areas that resist price on the way up.
A basic understanding of this is that Buyers will enter the market at the bottom of a profile and sellers will enter the market at the top of the profile.
Configuration
By the default the indicator has enabled plotting the charts timeframe Volume Profile.
Multi-timeframe option needs to be enabled and desired timeframe chosen from selector menu.
Bars back value for fixed calculation of the multi-timeframe point of control.
Traders can adjust default settings as follows:
Charts timeframe VRVP
Main POC color – Yellow
Positive Volume – Green
Negative Volume – Red
VRVP Width – 100 (Refers to the plotting width for better suiting on small screens)
Multi timeframe VRVP
Enable or disable calculations
Bars back - Fixed numbers of bars for calculation (Consider that max bars back limit is 5000, but it considers 5000 bars on the current charts timeframe, therefore traders need to take into consideration converting number of bars in higher timeframe to charts timeframe)
e.g.
Charts timeframe 15m – MTF desired 1H
1H = 60 min 15m = 15 min – 100 bars back equivalent to (60 min * 100) / 15 = 400
Lower than 5000 then calculations takes place, otherwise calculations will be disabled.
Multi-timeframe POC color = Light blue DASHED
Timeframe desired – 1H by default
