## ⚠️ CRITICAL RULE
**Intrabar TF MUST be LOWER than your chart TF!**
### Automatic Validation (v8 NEW!)
The script now automatically detects invalid intrabar configurations:
**When Intrabar TF is INVALID:**
1. **Yellow warning label** appears on chart: "⚠️ INTRABAR TF INVALID"
2. **Table shows**: "IB Data: ⚠️ INVALID TF" with yellow background
3. **Alert available**: "⚠️ INTRABAR CONFIG ERROR"
4. **Score impact**: Intrabar points (up to 5) are NOT added
**Example - 2 Minute Chart:**
```
VALID selections: 1T, 5T, 10T, 25T, 50T, 100T (any tick)
1S, 5S, 10S, 15S, 30S (any second)

| 4 hour | 1T-1000T, 1S-30S, 1-180 min |
| Daily | All tick, seconds, minutes up to 240 |

# 🎨 VISUAL FILTERING (v8 NEW!)
## The Problem (v7)
Too many sweep and absorption markers cluttered the chart with low-quality signals.
## The Solution (v8)
**Quality filters** - only show sweeps/absorption that MATTER.
### Sweep Quality Score
A sweep needs confluence to display:
```
+1.5 = In FVG Zone
+1.5 = In Order Block
+1.0 = Strong volume
+0.5 = In session
+1.0 = Intrabar confirmation
───────────────────
MIN NEEDED: 2.0 to show
```
### Absorption Quality Score
```
+1.5 = In FVG Zone
+1.5 = In Order Block
+1.0 = Tier signal present
+0.5 = In session
+0.5 = CVD confirmation
───────────────────
MIN NEEDED: 2.0 to show
```
### Settings
```
VISUAL FILTERS:
├── Only Show Quality Sweeps: ON (default)
├── Only Show Quality Absorption: ON (default)
├── Min Sweep Quality Score: 2.0
└── Min Absorption Quality Score: 2.0
Turn OFF filters to see ALL signals (not recommended)
```
---
# 📈 CVD IMPLEMENTATION (v8 FIXED)
## What Changed
### v7 Issues:
- CVD accumulated forever (overflow risk)
- Short slope calculation (only 3 bars)
- No session reset
### v8 Fixes:
```
1. SESSION RESET: CVD resets at London/NY open
2. PROPER SLOPE: Calculated over 5 bars
3. STDEV COMPARISON: Strong/Extreme = slope > 1-2 stdev
```
## CVD Readings in Table
| Display | Meaning | Score Contribution |
|---------|---------|-------------------|
| 🔥 BULL | Extreme bullish momentum | +1.5 total |
| 🔥 BEAR | Extreme bearish momentum | +1.5 total |
| ↑ BULL | Strong bullish trend | +1.0 total |
| ↓ BEAR | Strong bearish trend | +1.0 total |
| bull | Bullish bias | +0.5 |
| bear | Bearish bias | +0.5 |
| — | Neutral/mixed | +0 |

- Session active (🟢 in table)
- Direction matches bias
### For MEDIUM+ Signal (Score 5.0+):

---
# ⛔ DO NOT TRADE
1. **Score below threshold** - No signal shown = no trade
2. **Outside session** - Unless you've disabled session filter
3. **Delta conflicts** - Bearish candle but buy dominant delta
4. **No intrabar data** - Shows "0 bars" in IB Data
5. **CVD strongly opposite** - 🔥 BEAR on a long signal
6. **After major news** - Wait for dust to settle
7. **Low volume overall** - Market too quiet
---
# 🏆 GOLDEN RULES v8
> **"The score doesn't lie. Trust the math."**
> **"GOD MODE = Don't think, just execute."**
> **"Filtered visuals = Quality over quantity."**
> **"If intrabar conflicts, trust intrabar."**
> **"Session matters - trade when institutions trade."**
> **"Stack confluence - score higher = win more."**
> **"Leave every trade with money. Next setup is coming."**

# 🔧 TROUBLESHOOTING
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| **Yellow "INVALID TF" warning** | Your intrabar TF is >= chart TF. Select LOWER! |
| **IB Data shows "⚠️ INVALID TF"** | Same as above - pick 1T, 1S, or 1 for most charts |
| No signals appearing | Lower Min Score threshold |
| Too many signals | Raise Min Score threshold |
| Score always 0 | Check if candle is tiered (meets point threshold) |
| Sweeps not showing | Check quality filter settings or lower threshold |
| Table transparent | ❌ Fixed in v8 - table is now solid |
| CVD not making sense | Now resets at session open - cleaner readings |
| Wrong tier thresholds | Adjust for your instrument (see setup guide) |
| Tick TF not available | Requires TradingView Premium+ subscription |

# 🎨 VISUAL FILTERING (v8 NEW!)
## The Problem (v7)
Too many sweep and absorption markers cluttered the chart with low-quality signals.
## The Solution (v8)
**Quality filters** - only show sweeps/absorption that MATTER.
### Sweep Quality Score
A sweep needs confluence to display:
```
+1.5 = In FVG Zone
+1.5 = In Order Block
+1.0 = Strong volume
+0.5 = In session
+1.0 = Intrabar confirmation
───────────────────
MIN NEEDED: 2.0 to show
```
### Absorption Quality Score
```
+1.5 = In FVG Zone
+1.5 = In Order Block
+1.0 = Tier signal present
+0.5 = In session
+0.5 = CVD confirmation
───────────────────
MIN NEEDED: 2.0 to show
```
### Settings
```
VISUAL FILTERS:
├── Only Show Quality Sweeps: ON (default)
├── Only Show Quality Absorption: ON (default)
├── Min Sweep Quality Score: 2.0
└── Min Absorption Quality Score: 2.0
Turn OFF filters to see ALL signals (not recommended)
```

# 📈 CVD IMPLEMENTATION (v8 FIXED)
## What Changed
### v7 Issues:
- CVD accumulated forever (overflow risk)
- Short slope calculation (only 3 bars)
- No session reset
### v8 Fixes:
```
1. SESSION RESET: CVD resets at London/NY open
2. PROPER SLOPE: Calculated over 5 bars
3. STDEV COMPARISON: Strong/Extreme = slope > 1-2 stdev
```
## CVD Readings in Table
| Display | Meaning | Score Contribution |
|---------|---------|-------------------|
| 🔥 BULL | Extreme bullish momentum | +1.5 total |
| 🔥 BEAR | Extreme bearish momentum | +1.5 total |
| ↑ BULL | Strong bullish trend | +1.0 total |
| ↓ BEAR | Strong bearish trend | +1.0 total |
| bull | Bullish bias | +0.5 |
| bear | Bearish bias | +0.5 |
| — | Neutral/mixed | +0 |

## ⚡ WHAT'S NEW IN v7
### Major Additions: INTRABAR ANALYSIS ENGINE
| Feature | Description | Edge It Provides |
|---------|-------------|------------------|
| **Intrabar Delta** | REAL buy/sell pressure from lower TF | Far more accurate than estimated delta |
| **Intrabar Momentum** | Direction consistency within bar | See if candle formed through conviction |
| **Absorption Detection** | High vol + low price movement | Spot institutional accumulation/distribution |
| **Internal Sweeps** | Stop hunts INSIDE candles | Catch hidden liquidity grabs |
| **Volume Distribution** | Where volume clustered in bar | TOP/MID/BOT volume clustering |
### The Intrabar Advantage
**Problem with Standard Analysis:**
- You only see the final OHLC of each candle
- Delta estimation is educated guesswork
- Internal price action is invisible
- Stop hunts inside bars go undetected
**Solution with Intrabar Analysis:**
- `request.security_lower_tf()` gives us the INSIDE view
- See actual lower timeframe candles within each bar
- Calculate TRUE delta from actual price direction
- Detect sweeps and reversals hidden from current timeframe
---
## 🔬 INTRABAR ANALYSIS DEEP DIVE
### How It Works
When you're on a 5-minute chart, intrabar analysis requests 1-minute data within each 5-minute bar. This gives us 5 sub-candles to analyze within each parent candle.
```
5-MIN CANDLE (What you normally see):
┌────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ OPEN ──────── CLOSE │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────┘
INTRABAR VIEW (What v7 sees):
┌────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🕐1 🕐2 🕐3 🕐4 🕐5 │
│ ▲ ▼ ▲ ▲ ▲ │
│ │ │ │ │ │ │
│ Each 1-min candle analyzed │
└────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Intrabar Delta (IB Delta)
**What It Is:**
Real buy/sell pressure calculated from actual lower timeframe candle directions.
**Why It's Better:**
- Standard delta: Estimated from close position within bar
- Intrabar delta: Calculated from 5+ actual candles with known direction
**Calculation:**
```
For each intrabar candle:
├── If bullish (close > open): More weight to buy volume
├── If bearish (close < open): More weight to sell volume
├── Volume distributed by close position within each micro-candle
└── Summed across all intrabar candles = TRUE DELTA
```
**Grades:**
| IB Delta % | Grade | Meaning |
|------------|-------|---------|
| 78%+ | 🔥 EXTREME | One side has overwhelming control |
| 70-77% | ✓✓ STRONG | Clear directional bias |
| 62-69% | ✓ DOMINANT | Healthy dominance |
| <62% | — NEUTRAL | Mixed/uncertain |
---
### Intrabar Momentum (IB Momentum)
**What It Is:**
The percentage of intrabar candles moving in the same direction.
**Why It Matters:**
A bullish candle could form through:
1. **High momentum:** 4 of 5 sub-candles bullish = Strong conviction
2. **Low momentum:** 2 bullish, 2 bearish, 1 bullish = Choppy formation
**Calculation:**
```
IB Momentum = max(bullish_count, bearish_count) / total_intrabar_candles
Example (5-min bar with 1-min intrabar):
├── 1st minute: Bullish ✓
├── 2nd minute: Bullish ✓
├── 3rd minute: Bearish ✗
├── 4th minute: Bullish ✓
├── 5th minute: Bullish ✓
└── IB Momentum = 4/5 = 80% BULLISH
```
**Thresholds:**
| IB Momentum % | Classification | Signal Quality |
|---------------|----------------|----------------|
| 75%+ | 🔥 STRONG | Very high conviction |
| 60-74% | ✓ CONFIRMED | Good directional bias |
| <60% | MIXED | Choppy, low conviction |
---
### Absorption Detection
**What It Is:**
Institutional accumulation/distribution signature - high volume with little price movement.
**The Theory:**
When institutions accumulate (buy), they absorb selling without moving price much:
- Retail sells → Institution buys at limit prices
- Volume spikes but price stays flat
- Once accumulation complete → price explodes up
**Detection Logic:**
```
ABSORPTION = High Volume + Low Price Movement + Volume Clustering
Conditions:
├── Volume per point > 1.5x average
├── Price movement < 60% of average range
├── Volume clusters in one zone (TOP/MID/BOT)
└── Cluster percentage >= 65% threshold
```
**Direction:**
- **BULL ABS:** Volume clustered at BOT + net buy delta = Buying at lows
- **BEAR ABS:** Volume clustered at TOP + net sell delta = Selling at highs
**Visual:** ✕ marker below (bull) or above (bear) the candle
---
### Internal Sweeps (Hidden Liquidity Grabs)
**What It Is:**
Stop hunts that happen INSIDE a candle - invisible on current timeframe.
**The Setup:**
```
INTERNAL BULLISH SWEEP:
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ First Half: Second Half: │
│ ▲▼▲▼ ▲▲▲ │
│ Forms lows Reverses UP │
│ ↓ ↑ │
│ SWEEP REJECTION │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
= Hidden liquidity grab at lows, bullish
```
**Detection:**
```
Internal Bull Sweep:
├── Early intrabar candles form a low
├── Later intrabar candles sweep below that low
├── Final intrabar candles close back above
├── Parent candle closes green
└── = Hidden sweep, bullish reversal
Internal Bear Sweep:
├── Early intrabar candles form a high
├── Later intrabar candles sweep above that high
├── Final intrabar candles close back below
├── Parent candle closes red
└── = Hidden sweep, bearish reversal
```
**Visual:** "iS" marker (intrabar Sweep) on the candle
---
### Volume Distribution
**What It Is:**
Where volume clustered within the parent candle - TOP, MID, or BOT third.
**Why It Matters:**
- **BOT clustering + bullish delta:** Institutions buying at lows (bullish)
- **TOP clustering + bearish delta:** Institutions selling at highs (bearish)
- **MID clustering:** Balanced/uncertain
**Calculation:**
```
Divide parent candle into 3 zones:
├── TOP third: high - (range/3)
├── MID third: middle zone
└── BOT third: low + (range/3)
For each intrabar candle:
├── Calculate midpoint
├── Assign volume to TOP/MID/BOT based on midpoint
└── Sum volumes by zone
```

## 🔧 INTRABAR SETTINGS GUIDE
### Intrabar Timeframe Selection
| Chart TF | Recommended Intrabar TF | Sub-candles |
|----------|------------------------|-------------|
| 1 min | 1 (same) | Limited data |
| 3 min | 1 | 3 candles |
| 5 min | 1 | 5 candles |
| 15 min | 1 or 5 | 15 or 3 candles |
| 30 min | 5 | 6 candles |
| 1 hour | 5 or 15 | 12 or 4 candles |
**Rule of Thumb:** Lower intrabar TF = more data = more accurate
### Parameter Tuning
**Absorption Threshold (Default: 65%)**
```
Lower (50-60%): More absorption signals, some false positives
Standard (65%): Balanced detection
Higher (70-80%): Fewer signals, higher quality
```
**Intrabar Momentum Min (Default: 60%)**
```
Lower (50-55%): Accepts mixed candles as directional
Standard (60%): Requires clear majority
Higher (70-80%): Requires strong conviction
```
**Intrabar Delta Weight (Default: 1.5)**
```
Lower (0.5-1.0): Intrabar delta contributes less to score
Standard (1.5): Full contribution
Higher (2.0-3.0): Intrabar delta heavily weighted
```

## ⛔ DO NOT TRADE v7
All previous rules PLUS:
- IB Delta strongly conflicts with signal direction
- IB Momentum shows opposite direction at 75%+
- Absorption detected in OPPOSITE direction
- Score inflated only by intrabar (no structure)
- Intrabar data unavailable (empty array)
---
## 📝 TECHNICAL NOTES v7
### Compatibility
- **Pine Script v6** (required for `request.security_lower_tf()`)
- **Works on**: YM, MYM, NQ, MNQ, ES, MES, GC, MGC, BTC
- **Chart Type**: Standard candlestick (not Renko/Heikin Ashi)
- **Timeframes**: 1-minute to 4-hour recommended
- **Tick Charts**: Use 1-minute intrabar TF
### Performance Notes
- Intrabar analysis adds computational overhead
- If chart loads slowly, try higher intrabar TF
- `request.security_lower_tf()` returns array of data
- Empty arrays indicate no lower TF data available
### Timeframe Limitations
```
request.security_lower_tf() works when:
├── Intrabar TF < Chart TF (e.g., 1 min intrabar on 5 min chart)
└── Chart receives enough data from lower TF
Does NOT work when:
├── Intrabar TF >= Chart TF
├── Tick charts with minute intrabar (use seconds or same)
└── Very old historical data

Price Volume Heatmap [MHA Finverse]Price Volume Heatmap - Advanced Volume Profile Analysis
Unlock the power of institutional-level volume analysis with the Price Volume Heatmap indicator. This sophisticated tool visualizes market structure through volume distribution across price levels, helping you identify key support/resistance zones, high-probability reversal areas, and optimal entry/exit points.
🎯 What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show volume over time, this heatmap displays volume distribution across price levels , revealing where the most significant trading activity occurred. The gradient coloring system instantly highlights high-volume nodes (areas of strong interest) and low-volume nodes (potential breakout zones).
📊 Core Features
1. Dynamic Volume Heatmap
- Visualizes volume concentration across 250 customizable price levels
- Gradient color scheme from high volume (white) to low volume (teal/green)
- Adjustable brightness multiplier for enhanced contrast and clarity
- Real-time updates as market conditions evolve
2. Point of Control (POC)
- Automatically identifies the price level with the highest traded volume
- Acts as a magnetic price level where markets often return
- Critical for identifying fair value areas and potential reversal zones
- Customizable line style, width, and color
3. Flexible Lookback Settings
- Lookback Bars: Set any value from 1-5000 bars to control analysis depth
- Visible Range Mode: Analyze only what's currently visible on your chart
- Timeframe-Specific Settings: Different lookback periods for 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, Daily, and Weekly charts
- Adapts to your trading style - scalping to position trading
4. Session Separation Analysis
- Tokyo Session: 00:00-09:00 UTC
- London Session: 07:00-16:00 UTC
- New York Session: 13:00-22:00 UTC
- Sydney Session: 21:00-06:00 UTC
- Daily Reset: Analyze each trading day independently
Session separation allows you to understand volume distribution specific to each major trading session, revealing institutional order flow patterns and session-specific support/resistance levels.
5. Profile Width Options
- Dynamic: Profile width adjusts based on lookback period
- Fixed Bars: Set a specific bar count for consistent profile width
- Extend Forward: Project the profile into future bars for planning trades
6. Smart Alerts
- POC crossover/crossunder alerts
- New session start notifications
- Never miss critical price action at high-volume nodes
📈 How to Use This Indicator Professionally
Understanding Market Structure:
High Volume Nodes (HVN):
- Appear as bright/white areas in the heatmap
- Represent price levels where significant trading occurred
- Act as strong support/resistance zones
- Markets often consolidate or bounce from these levels
- Trading Strategy: Look for entries when price tests HVN areas with confluence from other indicators
Low Volume Nodes (LVN):
- Appear as darker/teal areas in the heatmap
- Represent price levels with minimal trading activity
- Price tends to move quickly through these areas
- Often form "gaps" in the volume profile
- Trading Strategy: Expect rapid price movement through LVN zones; avoid placing stop losses here
Point of Control (POC):
- The single most important price level in your analysis window
- Represents the fairest price where maximum volume traded
- Price gravitates toward POC like a magnet
- Trading Strategy:
* When price is above POC: bullish bias, POC acts as support
* When price is below POC: bearish bias, POC acts as resistance
* POC breaks often lead to significant trend changes
Session-Based Analysis:
Use session separation to understand how different market participants trade:
Asian Session (Tokyo/Sydney):
- Typically lower volatility and range-bound
- Volume profiles often show tight, balanced distribution
- Use for identifying overnight ranges and gap fill zones
London Session:
- Highest volume session for forex pairs
- Often shows strong directional bias
- Look for breakouts from Asian ranges during London open
New York Session:
- Maximum participation when overlapping with London
- Institutional order flow most visible
- POC during NY session often becomes key level for following sessions
🎯 Practical Trading Applications
1. Identifying Support & Resistance:
High volume nodes from the heatmap are far more reliable than traditional swing highs/lows. When price approaches an HVN, expect reaction - either a bounce or a significant breakout if breached.
2. Trend Confirmation:
- Healthy uptrend: POC rising over time, HVN forming at higher levels
- Healthy downtrend: POC falling over time, HVN forming at lower levels
- Consolidation: POC relatively flat, volume balanced across range
3. Breakout Trading:
When price breaks through a Low Volume Node with momentum, it often continues to the next High Volume Node. Use LVN areas as measured move targets.
4. Reversal Zones:
Multiple HVN stacking on top of each other creates a "volume shelf" - an extremely strong support/resistance zone where reversals are highly probable.
5. Risk Management:
- Place stops beyond HVN areas (not within LVN zones)
- Size positions based on distance to nearest HVN
- Use POC as trailing stop level in trending markets
⚙️ Recommended Settings
For Day Trading (Scalping/Intraday):
- Lookback: 200-500 bars
- Rows: 200-250
- Enable session separation for your primary trading session
- Profile Width: Dynamic or Fixed Bars (30-50)
For Swing Trading:
- Lookback: 500-1000 bars
- Rows: 250
- Session separation: Daily Reset
- Profile Width: Dynamic
For Position Trading:
- Lookback: 1000-3000 bars
- Rows: 250
- Use timeframe-specific settings
- Profile Width: Extend Forward (20-50 bars)
💡 Pro Tips
1. Combine this indicator with price action analysis - volume confirms what price is telling you
2. Watch for POC convergence with other technical levels (fibonacci, pivot points, moving averages)
3. Volume at extremes (tops/bottoms of heatmap) often indicates exhaustion
4. Session POC from previous sessions often acts as magnet for current session
5. Increase brightness multiplier (1.5-2.5) for clearer visualization on busy charts
6. Use "Number of Sessions to Display" to analyze consistency of volume levels across multiple sessions
🎨 Customization
Fully customizable visual appearance:
- Gradient colors for volume visualization
- POC line thickness, color, and style
- Session line colors and visibility
- All settings organized in intuitive groups
⚠️ Disclaimer
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions. Always combine volume analysis with proper risk management, fundamental analysis, and other technical indicators. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

RSI Profile [Kodexius]RSI Profile is an advanced technical indicator that turns the classic RSI into a distribution profile instead of a single oscillating line. Rather than only showing where the RSI is at the current bar, it displays where the RSI has spent most of its time or most of its volume over a user defined lookback period.
The script builds a histogram of RSI values between 0 and 100, splits that range into configurable bins, and then projects the result to the right side of the chart. This gives you a clear visual representation of the RSI structure, including the Point of Control (POC), the Value Area High (VAH), and the Value Area Low (VAL). The POC marks the RSI level with the highest activity, while VAH and VAL bracket the percentage based value area around it.
By combining standard RSI, a distribution profile, and value area logic, this tool lets you study RSI behavior statistically instead of only bar by bar. You can immediately see whether the current RSI reading is located inside the dominant zone, extended above it, or depressed below it, and whether the recent regime has been biased toward overbought, oversold, or neutral territory. This is particularly useful for swing traders, mean reversion systems, and anyone who wants to integrate RSI context into a more profile oriented workflow.
🔹 Features
1. RSI-Based Distribution Profile
-Builds a histogram of RSI values between 0 and 100.
-The RSI range is divided into a user-defined number of bins (e.g., 30 bins).
-Each bin represents a band of RSI values, such as 0–3.33, 3.33–6.66, ..., 96.66–100.
-For each bar in the lookback period, the script:
-Finds which bin the RSI value belongs to
Adds either:
-1.0 → if using time/frequency
-volume → if using volume-weighted RSI distribution
This creates a clear profile of where RSI has been concentrated over the chosen lookback window.
2. Time / Volume Weighting Mode
Under Profile Settings, you can choose:
-Weight by Volume = false
→ Profile is built using time spent at each RSI level (frequency).
-Weight by Volume = true
→ Profile is built using volume traded at each RSI level.
This flexibility allows you to decide whether you want:
-A pure momentum structure (time spent at each RSI)
-Or a participation-weighted structure (where higher-volume zones are emphasized)
3. Configurable Lookback & Resolution
-Profile Lookback: number of historical bars to analyze.
-Number of Bins: controls the resolution of the histogram:
Fewer bins → smoother, fewer gaps
More bins → more detail, but potentially more visual sparsity
-Profile Width (Bars): defines how wide the histogram extends into the future (visually), converted into time using average bar duration.
This provides a balance between performance, clarity, and visual density.
4. Value Area, POC, VAH, VAL
The script computes:
-POC (Point of Control)
→ The RSI bin with the highest total value (time or volume).
-Value Area (VA)
→ The range of RSI bins that contain a user-specified percentage of total activity (e.g., 70%).
-VAH & VAL
→ Upper and lower RSI boundaries of this Value Area.
These are then drawn as horizontal lines and labeled:
-POC line and label
-VAH line and label
-VAL line and label
This gives you a profile-style view similar to classical volume profile, but entirely on the RSI axis.
5. Color Coding & Visual Design
The histogram bars (boxes) are colored using a smart scheme:
-Below 30 RSI → Oversold zone, uses the Oversold Color (default: green).
-Above 70 RSI → Overbought zone, uses the Overbought Color (default: red).
-Between 30 and 70 RSI → Neutral zone, uses a gradient between:
A soft blue at lower mid levels
A soft orange at higher mid levels
Additional styling:
-POC bin is highlighted in bright yellow.
-Bins inside the Value Area → lower transparency (more solid).
-Bins outside the Value Area → higher transparency (faded).
This makes it easy to visually distinguish:
-Core RSI activity (VA)
-Extremes (oversold/overbought)
-The single dominant zone (POC)
🔹 Calculations
This section summarizes the core logic behind the script and highlights the main building blocks that power the profile.
1. Profile Structure and Bin Initialization
A custom Profile type groups together configuration, bins and drawing objects. During initialization, the script splits the 0 to 100 RSI range into evenly spaced bins, each represented by a Bin record:
method initBins(Profile p) =>
p.bins := array.new()
float step = 100.0 / p.binCount
for i = 0 to p.binCount - 1
float low = i * step
float high = (i + 1) * step
p.bins.push(Bin.new(low, high, 0.0, box(na)))
2. Filling the Profile Over the Lookback Window
On the last bar, the script clears previous drawings and walks backward through the selected lookback window. For each historical bar, it reads the RSI and volume series and feeds them into the profile:
if barstate.islast
myProfile.reset()
int start = math.max(0, bar_index - lookback)
int end = bar_index
for i = 0 to (end - start)
float r = rsi
float v = volume
if not na(r)
myProfile.add(r, v)
The add method converts each RSI value into a bin index and accumulates either a frequency count or the bar volume, depending on the chosen mode:
method add(Profile p, float rsiValue, float volumeValue) =>
int idx = int(rsiValue / (100.0 / p.binCount))
if idx >= p.binCount
idx := p.binCount - 1
if idx < 0
idx := 0
Bin targetBin = p.bins.get(idx)
float addedValue = p.useVolume ? volumeValue : 1.0
targetBin.value += addedValue
3. Finding POC and Building the Value Area
Inside the draw method, the script first scans all bins to determine the maximum value and the total sum. The bin with the highest value becomes the POC. The value area is then constructed by expanding from that center bin until the desired percentage of total activity is covered:
for in p.bins
totalVal += b.value
if b.value > maxVal
maxVal := b.value
pocIdx := i
float vaTarget = totalVal * (p.vaPercent / 100.0)
float currentVaVol = maxVal
int upIdx = pocIdx
int downIdx = pocIdx
while currentVaVol < vaTarget
float upVol = (upIdx < p.binCount - 1) ? p.bins.get(upIdx + 1).value : 0.0
float downVol = (downIdx > 0) ? p.bins.get(downIdx - 1).value : 0.0
if upVol == 0 and downVol == 0
break
if upVol >= downVol
upIdx += 1
currentVaVol += upVol
else
downIdx -= 1
currentVaVol += downVol
VPOCS ZScoreAn indicator Showing Candle POC's.
Added a Zscore Filter to filter out the High volume candle's.
I like to use at Key Support and resistance Area's to see Absorbtion and Offside positions only on High volume Candles ( The high volume candle part is Key! ). Thoose candles Generally indicate forced participants opening or closing positions, or "Breakout traders entering" positions. When i see a Hi-Volume at S/R levels and price is rejecting ( trading away from the POC ) ill take that as a trigger for a trade.
- Dynamic Support and resistance.
- Show Offside and and Trapped traders
You can tweak the Zscore nominator for Less of more Frequent hits.
MFI Volume Profile [Kodexius]The MFI Volume Profile indicator blends a classic volume profile with the Money Flow Index so you can see not only where volume traded, but also how strong the buying or selling pressure was at those prices. Instead of showing a simple horizontal histogram of volume, this tool adds a money flow dimension and turns the profile into a price volume momentum heat map.
The script scans a user controlled lookback window and builds a set of price levels between the lowest and highest price in that period. For every bar inside that window, its volume is distributed across the price levels that the bar actually touched, and that volume is combined with the bar’s MFI value. This creates a volume weighted average MFI for each price level, so every row of the profile knows both how much volume traded there and what the typical money flow condition was when that volume appeared.
On the chart, the indicator plots a stack of horizontal boxes to the right of current price. The length of each box represents the relative amount of volume at that price, while the color represents the average MFI there. Levels with stronger positive money flow will lean toward warmer shades, and levels with weaker or negative money flow will lean toward cooler or more neutral shades inside the configured MFI band. Each row is also labeled in the format Volume , so you can instantly read the exact volume and money flow value at that level instead of guessing.
This gives you a detailed map of where the market really cared about price, and whether that interest came with strong inflow or outflow. It can help you spot areas of accumulation, distribution, absorption, or exhaustion, and it does so in a compact visual that sits next to price without cluttering the candles themselves.
Features
Combined volume profile and MFI weighting
The indicator builds a volume profile over a user selected lookback and enriches each price row with a volume weighted average MFI. This lets you study both participation and money flow at the same price level.
Volume distributed across the bar price range
For every bar in the window, volume is not assigned to a single price. Instead, it is proportionally distributed across all price rows between the bar low and bar high. This creates a smoother and more realistic profile of where trading actually happened.
MFI based color gradient between 30 and 70
Each price row is colored according to its average MFI. The gradient is anchored between MFI values of 30 and 70, which covers typical oversold, neutral and overbought zones. This makes strong demand or distribution areas easier to spot visually.
Configurable structure resolution and depth
Main user inputs are the lookback length, the number of rows, the width of the profile in bars, and the label text size. You can quickly switch between coarse profiles for a big picture and higher resolution profiles for detailed structure.
Numeric labels with volume and MFI per row
Every box is labeled with the total volume at that level and the average MFI for that level, in the format Volume . This gives you exact values while still keeping the visual profile clean and compact.
Calculations
Money Flow Index calculation
currentMfi is calculated once using ta.mfi(hlc3, mfiLen) as usual,
Creation of the profileBins array
The script creates an array named profileBins that will hold one VPBin element per price row.
Each VPBin contains
volume which is the total volume accumulated at that price row
mfiProduct which is the sum of volume multiplied by MFI for that row
The loop;
for i = 0 to rowCount - 1 by 1
array.push(profileBins, VPBin.new(0.0, 0.0))
pre allocates a clean structure with zero values for all rows.
Finding highest and lowest price across the lookback
The script starts from the current bar high and low, then walks backward through the lookback window
for i = 0 to lookback - 1 by 1
highestPrice := math.max(highestPrice, high )
lowestPrice := math.min(lowestPrice, low )
After this loop, highestPrice and lowestPrice define the full price range covered by the chosen lookback.
Price range and step size for rows
The code computes
float rangePrice = highestPrice - lowestPrice
rangePrice := rangePrice == 0 ? syminfo.mintick : rangePrice
float step = rangePrice / rowCount
rangePrice is the total height of the profile in price terms. If the range is zero, the script replaces it with the minimum tick size for the symbol. Then step is the price height of each row. This step size is used to map any price into a row index.
Processing each bar in the lookback
For every bar index i inside the lookback, the script checks that currentMfi is not missing. If it is valid, it reads the bar high, low, volume and MFI
float barTop = high
float barBottom = low
float barVol = volume
float barMfi = currentMfi
Mapping bar prices to bin indices
The bar high and low are converted into row indices using the known lowestPrice and step
int indexTop = math.floor((barTop - lowestPrice) / step)
int indexBottom = math.floor((barBottom - lowestPrice) / step)
Then the indices are clamped into valid bounds so they stay between zero and rowCount - 1. This ensures that every bar contributes only inside the profile range
Splitting bar volume across all covered bins
Once the top and bottom indices are known, the script calculates how many rows the bar spans
int coveredBins = indexTop - indexBottom + 1
float volPerBin = barVol / coveredBins
float mfiPerBin = volPerBin * barMfi
Here the total bar volume is divided equally across all rows that the bar touches. For each of those rows, the same fraction of volume and volume times MFI is used.
Accumulating into each VPBin
Finally, a nested loop iterates from indexBottom to indexTop and updates the corresponding VPBin
for k = indexBottom to indexTop by 1
VPBin binData = array.get(profileBins, k)
binData.volume := binData.volume + volPerBin
binData.mfiProduct := binData.mfiProduct + mfiPerBin
Over all bars in the lookback window, each row builds up
total volume at that price range
total volume times MFI at that price range
Later, during the drawing stage, the script computes
avgMfi = bin.mfiProduct / bin.volume
for each row. This is the volume weighted average MFI used both for coloring the box and for the numeric MFI value shown in the label Volume .
MACD Momentum Structure & Volume Profile Sniper [MTF]**Description and Methodology**
This script offers a unique approach to Market Structure by moving away from traditional fractal-based highs and lows (which can be noisy). Instead, it utilizes **MACD Momentum Swings** to identify significant structural points, combined with an automated Fixed Range Volume Profile to pinpoint high-probability entry zones.
**1. Why MACD Structure? (The Core Concept)**
Traditional "ZigZag" or Fractal indicators rely solely on price action, often leading to fake-outs during low-volume consolidation.
* This script defines a "Swing High" only when the MACD Histogram crosses below zero (Momentum shifts Bearish).
* This script defines a "Swing Low" only when MACD crosses above zero (Momentum shifts Bullish).
By linking structure to momentum, we filter out weak price movements and focus on the true "heartbeat" of the trend.
**2. The "Mashup" Synergy: Structure + Volume + Logic**
This is not a random combination of indicators. Each component serves a specific step in the trading execution sequence:
* **Step 1 (Structure):** The script identifies a Change of Character (CHoCH) based on the MACD peaks described above.
* **Step 2 (Liquidity/Value):** When a CHoCH occurs, the script *automatically* draws a **Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP)** specifically covering the impulse leg that caused the break. This reveals the "Point of Control" (POC)—the hidden price level where the most volume occurred during the move.
* **Step 3 (The Sniper Entry):** The script creates a "Zone" around that POC. It then waits for Price to retrace into this zone.
* **Step 4 (Confirmation):** Once the zone is touched, the script monitors a lower timeframe (User selectable, default M1) for a fresh MACD crossover to trigger the final entry signal.
**Features**
* **Multi-Timeframe Dashboard:** Monitor the MACD Trend direction across 4 different timeframes simultaneously.
* **Dynamic Trendlines:** Automatically connects confirmed MACD peaks to visualize trend integrity.
* **Fibo Time Zones:** Projects potential future pivot points based on the duration of the previous swing.
* **Alert System:** Integrated alerts for Zone Touches and "Sniper" entries (Zone Touch + LTF Momentum Confirmation).
**How to Use**
1. **Identify Trend:** Look for the CHoCH labels. Green indicates a shift to Bullish, Red to Bearish.
2. **Wait for Pullback:** Do not chase the break. Wait for price to return to the Yellow POC Zone generated by the Volume Profile.
3. **Entry Trigger:** Watch for the "BUY" or "SELL" marks. These appear only when price hits the zone AND the lower-timeframe momentum aligns with the trade direction.
**Settings & Inputs**
* **Global MACD:** Adjust the sensitivity of the swing detection (Default 12, 26, 9).
* **Sniper Entry:** Select the timeframe used for the final confirmation (e.g., use M1 confirmation for an H1 chart structure).
* **VP Settings:** Customize how the Volume Profile looks on the chart.

## 📋 DETAILED DOCUMENTATION
### What Makes SNIPER Zones Different?
Standard FVG indicators create zones everywhere. SNIPER zones only appear when there's **institutional footprint**:
| Filter | Standard FVG | SNIPER Zones | Why It Matters |
|--------|-------------|--------------|----------------|
| Gap Size | Any gap | **≥30% ATR** | Significant imbalance |
| Volume | Optional | **2.0x+ avg** | Institutional volume |
| Impulse | None | **1.8x range** | Real momentum |
| Body | None | **65%+ ratio** | Conviction candle |
| Max Zones | 20-50 | **10 max** | Only the best |
| Zone Life | 100 bars | **50 bars** | Fresh zones only |
---
### How Zones Are Created

### Single Print Lines Explained
Single Prints mark **institutional impulse candles** where price moved so fast that no orders were filled at those levels. These levels often act as magnets for price.
```
SINGLE PRINT CANDLE:
════════════════════
HIGH ═══════════════════════════════ (Gold Line)
│
┌─────────────────┤
│█████████████████│ ← Large body (65%+)
│█████████████████│ ← Strong volume (2x+)
│█████████████████│ ← Clear delta (60%+)
│█████████████████│
└─────────────────┤
│
LOW ═══════════════════════════════ (Gold Line)
These horizontal lines extend 500 bars into the future.
Price often returns to test these levels.

### Integration with GRA v5
The magic happens when you combine both indicators:
```
HIGHEST PROBABILITY SETUP:
══════════════════════════
1. DeepFlow shows active zone (green/red box)
2. Price enters the zone
3. GRA5 fires a signal INSIDE the zone
4. Delta confirms on both indicators
5. Volume confirms on both indicators
This is your SNIPER entry. Take it.
Example:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Price enters BULLISH zone │
│ GRA5 shows: A🎯 LONG │
│ DFZ shows: BUY🎯 │
│ Table: Vol 2.1x, Delta 67%B │
│ │
│ ACTION: Full size LONG at CE │
│ STOP: Below zone bottom │
│ TARGET: 2:1 R:R │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### Pine Script v6 Notes
This indicator uses Pine Script v6 features:
- Array-based zone management
- `request.security_lower_tf()` for delta
- Dynamic zone state tracking
- Efficient garbage collection
**Minimum TradingView Plan:** Pro (for intrabar data)
---
## 🏆 Golden Rules
1. **Fewer zones = Better zones.** If you see more than 5 active zones, your settings are too loose.
2. **Fresh zones > Tested zones.** The first touch is always the best.
3. **CE is king.** The middle of the zone (50% level) is your entry point.
4. **Zone + GRA signal = Sniper entry.** This confluence is what we're hunting for.
5. **Gray zones don't exist.** Once broken, pretend the zone was never there.

Volume Gaps & Imbalances (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Volume Gaps & Imbalances (Zeiierman) is an advanced market-structure and order-flow visualizer that maps where the market traded, where it did not, and how buyer-vs-seller pressure accumulated across the entire price range.
The core of the indicator is a price-by-price volume profile built from Bullish and Bearish volume assignments. The script highlights:
True zero-volume voids (regions of no traded volume)
Bull/Bear imbalance rows (horizontal volume slices)
A multi-section Delta Panel, showing aggregated Buy–Sell pressure per vertical sector
A clean separation between profile structure, volume efficiency, and delta flows
Together, these components reveal market inefficiencies, displacement zones, and fair-value regions that price tends to revisit — making it an exceptional tool for structural trading, order-flow analysis, and contextual confluence.
Highlights
Identifies true volume voids (untraded price regions), more precisely than standard FVG tools
Plots Bull vs Bear volume at each price row for fine-grained imbalance reading
Includes a sector-based Delta Grid that aggregates Buy–Sell dominance
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The indicator scans a user-defined Lookback window and divides the full high–low range into Rows. Each bar's volume is allocated into the correct price bucket:
Bullish volume when close > open
Bearish volume when close <= open
This produces three values per price level:
Bull Volume
Bear Volume
Total Volume & Imbalance Profile
Rows where no volume at all occurred are marked as volume gaps — signaling true untraded zones, often produced by impulsive imbalanced moves.
⚪ Zero-Volume Gaps (True Voids)
Unlike candle-based Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), volume gaps identify the deeper, structural inefficiency: Price moved so fast through a region that no trades occurred at those prices. These areas often attract revisits because liquidity never exchanged hands there.
⚪ Bull/Bear Volume Imbalance
Every price row is drawn using two colored horizontal segments:
Bull segment proportional to bullish volume
Bear segment proportional to bearish volume
This reveals where buyers or sellers dominated individual price levels.
⚪ Delta Panel
The full volume profile is cut into Summary Sections. For each block, the script computes: Δ = (Bull Volume − Bear Volume) ÷ Total Volume × 100%
█ How to Use
⚪ Spot True Voids & Inefficiencies
Zero-volume zones highlight where the price moved without trading. These areas often behave like:
Refill zones during retracements
Targets during displacement
Thin regions price slices through quickly
Ideal for both SMC-style trading and structural mapping.
⚪ Identify Bull/Bear Control at Each Price Level
Broad bullish segments show zones of buyer absorption, while wide bearish slices reveal seller control.
This helps you interpret:
Where buyers supported the price
Where sellers defended a level
Which price levels matter for continuation or reversal
⚪ Use Delta Sectors for Contextual Direction
The delta panel shows where market pressure is accumulating, revealing whether the profile is dominated by:
Bullish flow (positive delta)
Bearish flow (negative delta)
Neutral flow (balanced or minimal delta)

Accumulation And Distribution Zones (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Accumulation And Distribution Zones (Zeiierman) is a structural zone indicator that highlights where the market has recently been absorbing sell pressure (Accumulation) or releasing buy pressure (Distribution).
The indicator tracks a refined sequence of swing highs and lows and measures how these swings tighten, expand, or step directionally. When they form staircase-style structures such as higher lows with compressing highs for Accumulation or lower highs with compressing lows for Distribution, the script marks these areas as shifts in market control.
Once the full pattern completes, the indicator converts it into an Accumulation or Distribution zone. Each zone is based on a confirmed structural sequence rather than a single point, making it more reliable and reflective of actual market behavior.
The indicator can also display a mini-volume profile within each zone and extend POC levels forward, showing where trading activity clustered most. Combined, these features reveal areas where price has recently shown acceptance, absorption, or rejection, helping you understand whether current price action is reacting to, breaking from, or retesting these important structural regions.
█ How It Works
⚪ Swing Structure
The indicator builds its foundation by detecting swing highs and lows using a configurable Swing Detection Window. Each confirmed swing is stored with its price, time, bar index, and direction. If two consecutive swings share the same direction, only the more extreme one is kept. This produces a clean structural sequence that removes noise and keeps only meaningful turning points.
⚪ Accumulation vs Distribution Pattern Logic
Using the refined swing sequence, the script looks for staircase-style formations that signal shifts in control:
Accumulation (bottoming): higher lows combined with compressing highs.
Distribution (topping): lower highs combined with compressing lows.
Two detection modes are available:
Quick for compact 4-swing formations
Slow for broader 6-swing structures
When a full structural pattern completes, the indicator marks the zone and resets the swing buffer for the next formation.
⚪ Volume Profile Construction
The price range between the zone’s upper and lower boundary is divided into several Rows. For every bar within the zone’s swing range, the bar’s volume is added to the appropriate price row.
Volume is classified as:
Bullish volume when close > open
Bearish volume when close < open
Each row is drawn as two horizontal segments (bull and bear), colored with smooth gradients based on your bull/bear color settings. This creates a compact profile that reveals where trading activity is concentrated inside the zone and whether buyers or sellers dominate those price levels.
█ How to Use
The indicator is designed to provide context and confluence, not raw buy/sell signals.
⚪ Spot Fresh Accumulation & Distribution
Use newly printed zones as a map of where the market has recently:
Absorbed selling and formed a floor (Accumulation below price).
Absorbed buying and formed a cap (Distribution above price).
In a trending environment, fresh accumulation zones below price are often areas to watch for pullbacks, while distribution zones above price can act as sell zones or targets.
⚪ Volume Profile
Longer horizontal bars show where the market traded the most volume inside the zone.
Bull-leaning rows inside an accumulation zone often signal strong buying interest during the formation.
Bear-leaning rows inside a distribution zone highlight concentrated selling pressure.
By combining this volume distribution with the zone label and the broader trend context, you can judge whether the structure is more likely to hold, break, or retest as the price approaches it again.
⚪ POC (Point of Control) Trading
Extended POC zones (Regular or Faded) can be treated as dynamic support/resistance rails:
When price revisits a prior accumulation POC and rejects it from above, the level may act as support. When price retests a distribution POC from below and fails to break through, it can act as resistance.
⚪ Combine with Your Own Strategy
The script does not decide direction for you. You get the most value by combining it with:
Your own trend filters (moving averages, higher timeframe structure, volatility measures).
Your preferred entry models (reversal candles, momentum breaks, liquidity grabs, etc.).
Higher-timeframe mapping.
Think of this tool as a map of where the market did meaningful business. You decide how to trade around those areas.
█ Settings
Acc/Dist Ranges – Master switch for drawing all Accumulation and Distribution zones. Turn this off to temporarily hide boxes while leaving supporting logic active.
Pattern – Shows or hides the swing-based pattern outline that formed each zone. Good for structural debugging and education.
Pattern Sensitivity
Quick – more responsive, detects smaller compact structures.
Slow – stricter, focuses on wider and more established zones.
Swing Detection Window – Pivot width used to confirm swing highs and lows. Larger values filter noise and produce bigger zones; smaller values pick up more minor structures.
Volume Profile – Enables the embedded volume profile inside each zone.
Rows – Number of price slices used to aggregate volume in the zone. Higher values give more detail but increase visual density.
Switch Order – Flips the horizontal order of bull vs bear volume segments within each row.
Extend Zones – Behaviour of POC and zone extension:
None – No forward extension.
Faded Zones – Store and draw up to four past POC zones as faded horizontal levels.
Regular Zones – Extend POC boxes forward until price breaks out.

Candle Volume CoreIA VolCore — Candle Volume Core
Indicator Overview
IA VolCore is an intra‑candle volume analysis tool that shows where the core traded volume is concentrated inside each candle.
It visualizes how buyers and sellers interacted within the bar and highlights key levels and zones where the highest activity takes place.
How Calculations Work
The indicator uses the lowest available timeframe data to calculate volume distribution inside each candle.
If you have a Premium or higher subscription, VolCore uses second‑based data for the most accurate results. Older candles (where second‑data is no longer available due to platform limits) are calculated using minute data. The indicator can therefore be used on any timeframe from 1 minute and higher.
If you do not have Premium, the indicator uses minute‑based data only, so it is recommended to use it from the daily timeframe and above.
Example of Calculation
If the chart timeframe is 1 hour and the lowest available timeframe is 1‑second data, the indicator loads 3600 1‑second candles. Each 1‑second candle has a known volume, which is evenly distributed across its own price range.
The 1‑hour candle is then divided into a number of price ranges based on the Candle Volume Resolution parameter. The volumes of all 3600 1-second candles are then aggregated into the corresponding price ranges of the hourly candle.
The final result is a detailed intra‑candle volume map for the entire hour — calculated using the most precise data available.
Custom Timeframe Parameter
If Use Custom Timeframe is enabled and a timeframe is selected, all calculations will be performed strictly using this specified timeframe.
For example: if the chart is on 1D, the user has 1‑second data available, but Custom TF is set to 1 minute, then the volume distribution inside each daily candle will be calculated using 1‑minute candles.
Key Features
Candle Volume Resolution — defines how many price ranges each candle is divided into (3–50,000). All calculations in the indicator are based on this resolution.
Max Volume Level — displays the price level inside the candle where the maximum volume occurred.
% of Volume (1, 2, 3) — defines percentages of the candle's total volume (e.g., 33%, 66%, 50%). For each percentage, VolCore finds the minimum price range containing that share of volume. You can view the corresponding volume values for these shares in histogram form via the Show: Vol % 1–3 parameters. The actual intra-candle zones are displayed using the Show area option.
Volume % for Density — sets the volume percentage used to calculate Vol Density, which reflects how concentrated the volume is inside the selected price range.
Display Parameters (Show)
Show: Vol % 1–3 — shows histograms of volume share zones based on the selected "% of Volume" parameters (with color logic applied).
Show: Max Volume Value — displays the maximum internal volume value for each candle as a histogram (with color logic applied).
Show: Volume — displays the candle's total volume (with color logic applied).
Show: Vol Density — shows the density of volume distribution inside the candle for the selected volume percentage (with color logic applied).
Example Use Cases (not a complete list)
IA VolCore shows where liquidity forms inside each candle, how volume is distributed, and how concentrated trading activity is.
Detecting False Breakouts
If a breakout candle shows increased volume, and after the breakout the core volume forms beyond the level, but the price moves back — VolCore provides a strong signal of a false breakout.
Examples:
Identifying Support & Resistance Zones
If Max Volume Level repeatedly forms in the same internal range over multiple candles, this indicates a hidden support or resistance level.
Example:
Who This Indicator Is For
For traders using volume‑based and contextual market analysis, and for IA (Initiative Analysis) ecosystem users who want a deeper understanding of intra‑candle structure.
Histogram Color Logic
IA VolCore uses three color shades to highlight volume behavior relative to previous candles:
light shade — normal volume, no significant change,
medium shade — volume exceeds both previous candles,
dark shade — volume exceeds the sum of the previous two candles.
This helps quickly spot growing activity and potential shifts in market pressure.
Style Settings
Line styles, histogram styles, and colors can be customized in the indicator’s Style tab.
Market Structure Volume Time Velocity ProfileThis is the Market Structure Volume Time Velocity Profile (MSVTVP). It combines event-based profiling with advanced metrics like Time and Velocity (Flow Rate). Instead of fixed time periods, profiles are anchored to critical market events (Swings, Structure Breaks, Delta Breaks), giving you a precise view of value development during specific market phases.
## The 3 Dimensions of the Market
Unlike standard tools that only show Volume, MSVTVP allows you
to switch between three critical metrics:
1. **VOLUME Profile (The "Where"):**
* Shows standard acceptance. High volume nodes (HVN)
are magnets for price.
2. **TIME Profile (The "How Long"):**
* Similar to TPO, it measures how long price spent at each
level.
* **High Time:** True acceptance and fair value.
* **Low Time:** Rejection or rapid movement.
3. **VELOCITY Profile (The "How Fast"):**
* Measures the **speed of trading** (Contracts per Second).
This reveals the hidden intent of market participants.
* **High Velocity (Fast Flow):** Aggression. Initiative
buyers/sellers are hitting market orders rapidly. Often
seen at breakouts or in liquidity vacu.
* **Low Velocity (Slow Flow):** Absorption. Massive passive
limit orders are slowing price down despite high volume.
Often seen at major reversals ("hitting a brick wall").
Key Features:
1. **Event-Based Profile Anchoring:** The indicator starts a new
profile based on one of three user-selected events
('Profile Anchor'):
- **Swing:** A new profile begins when the 'impulse baseline'
(derived from intra-bar delta) changes. This baseline
adjusts when a new **price pivot** is confirmed: When a
price **high** forms, the baseline moves to the **lower**
of its previous level or the peak delta (max of
delta O/C) at the pivot. When a price **low** forms, it
moves to the **higher** of its previous level or the
trough delta (min of delta O/C) at the pivot.
- **Structure:** A new profile begins immediately on the bar
that *confirms* a market structure break (e.g., a new HH
or LL, based on a sequence of price pivots).
- **Delta:** A new profile begins immediately on the bar
that *confirms* a break in the *cumulative delta's*
market structure (e.g., a new HH or LL in the delta).
Both 'Swing' and 'Delta' anchors are derived from the same
**continuous (non-resetting) Cumulative Volume Profile Delta (CVPD)**,
which is built from the intra-bar statistical analysis.
2. **Statistical Profile Engine:** For each bar in the anchored
period, the indicator builds a volume profile on a lower
'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it
uses advanced statistical models:
- **Allocation ('Allot model'):** 'PDF' (Probability Density
Function) distributes volume proportionally across the
bar's range based on an assumed statistical model
(e.g., T4-Skew). 'Classic' assigns all volume to
the close.
- **Buy/Sell Split ('Volume Estimator'):** 'Dynamic'
applies a model that analyzes candle wicks and
recent trend to estimate buy/sell pressure. 'Classic'
classifies all volume based on the candle color.
3. **Visualization & Lag:** The indicator plots the final
profile (as a polygon) and the developing statistical
lines (POC, VA, VWAP, StdDev).
- **Note on Lag:** All anchor events require `Pivot Right Bars`
for confirmation.
- In 'Structure' and 'Delta' mode, the developing lines
(POC, VA, etc.) are plotted using a **non-repainting**
method (showing the value from `pivRi` bars ago).
- In 'Swing' mode, the profile is plotted **retroactively**,
starting *from the bar where the pivot occurred*. The
developing lines are also plotted with this full
`pivRi` lag to align with the past data.
4. **Flexible Display Modes:** The finalized profile can be displayed
in three ways: 'Up/Down' (buy vs. sell), 'Total' (combined
volume), and 'Delta' (net difference).
5. **Dynamic Row Sizing:** Includes an option ('Rows per Percent')
to automatically adjust the number of profile rows (buckets)
based on the profile's price range.
6. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes 13 alerts that trigger for:
- A new profile reset ('Profile was resetted').
- Price crossing any of the 6 developing levels (POC,
VA High/Low, VWAP, StdDev High/Low).
- **Alert Lag Assumption:** In 'Swing' mode, alerts are
delayed to match the retroactively plotted lines.
In 'Structure' and 'Delta' modes, alerts fire in
**real-time** based on the *current price* crossing
the *current (repainting)* value of the metric, which
may **differ from the non-repainting plotted line.**
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This includes
the values used for real-time alerts in 'Structure' and
'Delta' modes.

Periodic Volume Time Velocity ProfileThis is the Periodic Volume Time Velocity Profile (PVTVP). It is an advanced professional profiling tool that goes beyond standard volume analysis by introducing Time and Velocity (Flow Rate) as profile dimensions.
By analyzing high-resolution intra-bar data, it builds
precise profiles for any custom period (Session, Day, Week, etc.),
helping you understand not just *where* the market traded,
but *how* it traded there.
## The 3 Dimensions of the Market
Unlike standard tools that only show Volume, PVTVP allows you
to switch between three critical metrics:
1. **VOLUME Profile (The "Where"):**
* Shows standard acceptance. High volume nodes (HVN)
are magnets for price.
2. **TIME Profile (The "How Long"):**
* Similar to TPO, it measures how long price spent at each
level.
* **High Time:** True acceptance and fair value.
* **Low Time:** Rejection or rapid movement.
3. **VELOCITY Profile (The "How Fast"):**
* Measures the **speed of trading** (Contracts per Second).
This reveals the hidden intent of market participants.
* **High Velocity (Fast Flow):** Aggression. Initiative
buyers/sellers are hitting market orders rapidly. Often
seen at breakouts or in liquidity vacuums.
* **Low Velocity (Slow Flow):** Absorption. Massive passive
limit orders are slowing price down despite high volume.
Often seen at major reversals ("hitting a brick wall").
## Key Features
1. **Statistical Volume Profile Engine:** For each bar in the selected
period, the indicator builds a complete volume profile on a lower
'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it uses
**statistical models ('PDF' allocation)** to distribute volume
across price levels and **advanced classifiers ('Dynamic' split)**
to determine the buy/sell pressure within that profile.
2. **Flexible Profile Display:** The **finalized profile** (plotted at
the end of each period) can be visualized in three distinct
ways: 'Up/Down' (buy vs. sell), 'Total' (combined volume),
and 'Delta' (net difference).
3. **Developing Key Levels:** The indicator also plots the developing
Point of Control (POC), Value Area (VA), VWAP, and Standard
Deviation bands in real-time as the period unfolds, providing
live insights into the emerging market structure.
4. **Dynamic Row Sizing:** Includes an option ('Rows per Percent')
to automatically adjust the number of profile rows (buckets)
based on the profile's price range, maintaining a consistent
visual density.
5. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes 12 alerts that trigger when the
main price crosses over or under the key developing levels:
POC, VWAP, Value Area High/Low, and the +/- Standard
Deviation bands.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is
normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only
be considered final **after the main chart bar has closed.**

Smart VWAP FVG SystemSmart VWAP FVG System - Professional Multi-Filter Trading Indicator
📊 OVERVIEW
The Smart VWAP FVG System is an advanced multi-layered trading indicator that combines institutional volume analysis, multi-timeframe VWAP trend confirmation, and Fair Value Gap detection to identify high-probability trade entries. This indicator uses a sophisticated filtering mechanism where signals appear only when multiple independent confirmation criteria align simultaneously.
Recommended Timeframe: 5-minute (M5) or higher. The indicator works best on M5, M15, and M30 charts for intraday trading.
🎯 ORIGINALITY & PURPOSE
This indicator is original because it combines three distinct analytical methods into a unified decision-making system:
Market Profile Volume Analysis - Identifies institutional accumulation/distribution zones
Dual VWAP Filtering - Confirms trend direction using two independent VWAP calculations
Fair Value Gap Detection - Validates institutional interest through price inefficiency zones
The key innovation is the directional filter system: the primary Market Profile generates BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY states based on higher timeframe value area reversals, which then controls which signals from the main system are displayed. This creates a multi-timeframe confluence that significantly reduces false signals.
Unlike simple indicator mashups, each component serves a specific purpose:
Market Profile → Direction bias (trend filter)
Primary VWAP (Session) → Short-term trend confirmation
Secondary VWAP (Week) → Medium-term trend confirmation
FVG Detection → Institutional activity validation
🔧 HOW IT WORKS
1. Primary Market Profile Filter (Higher Timeframe)
The indicator calculates Market Profile on a higher timeframe (default: 1 hour) to determine the overall market structure:
Value Area High (VAH): Top 70% of volume distribution
Value Area Low (VAL): Bottom 70% of volume distribution
Point of Control (POC): Price level with highest volume
When price reaches VAH and reverses down → SELL-ONLY mode activated
When price reaches VAL and reverses up → BUY-ONLY mode activated
This higher timeframe filter ensures you're trading in the direction of institutional flow.
2. Dual VWAP System
Two independent VWAP calculations provide multi-timeframe trend confirmation:
Primary VWAP (Session-based): Resets daily, tracks intraday momentum
Secondary VWAP (Week-based): Resets weekly, confirms longer-term trend
Filter Logic:
BUY signals require: Price > Primary VWAP AND Price > Secondary VWAP
SELL signals require: Price < Primary VWAP AND Price < Secondary VWAP
This dual confirmation prevents counter-trend trades during ranging conditions.
3. Fair Value Gap (FVG) Detection
FVG zones identify price inefficiencies where institutional orders were executed rapidly:
Bullish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (upward imbalance)
Bearish FVG: Gap between candle .high and candle .low (downward imbalance)
The indicator monitors recent FVG formation (lookback: 50 bars) and requires:
Bullish FVG present for BUY signals
Bearish FVG present for SELL signals
FVG zones are displayed as colored boxes and automatically marked as "mitigated" when price fills the gap.
4. Main Trading Signal Logic
The secondary Market Profile (default: 1 hour) generates the actual trading signals:
BUY Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area Low
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price > Primary VWAP
Price > Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bullish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = BUY-ONLY or NEUTRAL
SELL Signal Conditions:
Price reaches Value Area High
Reversal pattern confirmed (minimum 1 bar)
Price < Primary VWAP
Price < Secondary VWAP (if filter enabled)
Recent Bearish FVG detected (if filter enabled)
Primary MP Filter = SELL-ONLY or NEUTRAL
All conditions must be TRUE simultaneously for a signal to appear.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS & LIMITATIONS
1. Repainting Behavior
CRITICAL: This indicator uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_on to access higher timeframe data immediately for FVG detection. This is necessary to provide real-time FVG zone visualization but has the following implications:
FVG zones may shift slightly until the higher timeframe candle closes
FVG detection signals are preliminary until HTF bar confirmation
The main trading signals (triangles) appear on confirmed bars and do not repaint
Best Practice: Always wait for the current timeframe bar to close before acting on signals. The filter status and FVG zones are informational but may adjust as new data arrives.
2. Minimum Timeframe
Do NOT use on timeframes below 5 minutes (M5)
Recommended: M5, M15, M30 for intraday trading
Higher timeframes (H1, H4) can also be used but will generate fewer signals
3. Multiple Filters Can Block Signals
By design, this indicator is conservative. When all filters are enabled:
Signals appear ONLY when all conditions align
You may see extended periods with no signals
This is intentional to reduce false positives
If you see no signals:
Check the Info Panel to see which filters are failing
Consider adjusting FVG lookback period
Temporarily disable FVG filter to test
Verify VWAP filters match current market trend
4. Market Profile Limitations
Market Profile requires sufficient volume data
Low-volume instruments may produce unreliable profiles
Value Areas update only on higher timeframe bar close
Works best on liquid markets (major forex pairs, indices, crypto)
📖 HOW TO USE
Step 1: Add to Chart
Apply indicator to M5 or higher timeframe chart
Ensure chart shows volume data
Use standard candles (NOT Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.)
Step 2: Configure Settings
Primary MP Filter TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) minimum, or 240 (4 hour) for swing trading
Main MP TF: Set to 60 (1 hour) for intraday signals
FVG Timeframe: Match or exceed main MP timeframe
Leave other settings at default initially
Step 3: Understand the Info Panel
Monitor the top-right panel:
FILTER STATUS: Shows current directional bias
NEUTRAL = Both signals allowed
BUY ONLY = Only green triangles will appear
SELL ONLY = Only red triangles will appear
FVG Filter: Shows if bullish/bearish gaps detected recently
VWAP positions: Confirms trend alignment
Step 4: Take Signals
For BUY Signal (Green Triangle ▲):
Wait for green triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for BUY signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter long position
Stop loss: Below recent VAL or swing low
Target: Previous Value Area High or 1.5-2× risk
For SELL Signal (Red Triangle ▼):
Wait for red triangle to appear
Check Info Panel shows ✓ for SELL signals
Confirm current bar has closed
Enter short position
Stop loss: Above recent VAH or swing high
Target: Previous Value Area Low or 1.5-2× risk
Step 5: Risk Management
Risk per trade: Maximum 1-2% of account equity
Position sizing: Adjust based on stop loss distance
Avoid trading: During major news events or time filter periods
Multiple confirmations: Look for confluence with price action (support/resistance, trendlines)
🎓 UNDERLYING CONCEPTS
Market Profile Theory
Developed by J. Peter Steidlmayer in the 1980s, Market Profile organizes price and volume data to identify:
Value Areas: Where 70% of trading activity occurred
POC: Price level with highest acceptance (most volume)
Imbalances: When price moves away from value quickly
This indicator uses TPO (Time Price Opportunity) calculation method to build the volume profile distribution.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP represents the average price weighted by volume, showing where institutional traders are positioned:
Price above VWAP = Bullish (institutions accumulated lower)
Price below VWAP = Bearish (institutions distributed higher)
Using dual VWAP (Session + Week) creates multi-timeframe trend alignment.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
Also known as "imbalance" or "inefficiency," FVG occurs when:
Price moves so rapidly that a gap forms in the candlestick structure
Indicates institutional order flow (large market orders)
Price often returns to "fill" these gaps (rebalance)
The 3-candle FVG pattern (gap between candle and candle ) is widely used in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) methodology and Smart Money Concepts.

SR-ZnV2There are many support and resistance scripts out there. I was unable to find one that met all of my needs so I have expanded on the closest ones that I was able to discover. The ability to show persistent S/R levels by volume at various time frames automates much of the process for the user with unique and customizable features, the lastest dated of which are displayed by its time frame support/resistance strength and extend toward the right of the screen where they can be seen more clearly by price .
// Original script is thanks to tommyf1001, synapticex and additional modifications is thanks to Lij_MC. Credit to both of them for most of the logic behind this script. Since then I have made many changes to this script as noted below.
// Changed default S/R lines from plots to lines, and gave option to user to change between solid line, dashed line, or dotted line for both S/R lines.
// Added additional time frame and gave more TF options for TF1 other than current TF. Now you will have 4 time frames to plot S/R zones from.
// Gave user option to easily change line thickness for all S/R lines.
// Made it easier to change colors of S/R lines and zones by consolidating the options under settings (rather than under style).
// Added extensions to active SR Zones to extend all the way right.
// Added option to extend or not extend the previous S/R zones up to next S/R zone.
// Added optional time frame labels to active S/R zones, with left and right options as well as option to adjust how far to the right label is set.
// Fixed issue where the higher time frame S/R zone was not properly starting from the high/low of fractal. Now any higher time frame S/R will begin exactly at the High/Low points.
// Added to script a function that will prevent S/R zones from lower time frames displaying while on a higher time frame. This helps clean up the chart quite a bit.
// Created arrays for each time frame's lines and labels so that the number of S/R zones can be controlled for each time frame and limit memory consumption.
// New alert options added and customized alert messages.
Quantura - Average Intraday Candle VolumeIntroduction
“Quantura – Average Intraday Candle Volume” is a quantitative visualization tool that calculates and displays the average traded volume for each intraday time position based on a user-defined historical lookback period. It allows traders to analyze recurring intraday volume patterns, identify high-activity sessions, and detect liquidity shifts throughout the trading day.
Originality & Value
This indicator goes beyond standard volume averages by normalizing and aligning volume data according to the time of day. Instead of simply smoothing recent bars, it builds an intraday volume profile based on historical daily averages, enabling users to understand when during the day volume typically peaks or drops.
Its originality and usefulness come from:
Converting standard volume data into time-aligned intraday averages.
Visualization of historical intraday liquidity behavior, not just total daily volume.
Dynamic scaling using normalization and transparency to emphasize active and quiet periods.
Optional day-separator lines for precise intraday structure recognition.
Gradient-based coloring for better visual interpretation of volume intensity.
Functionality & Core Logic
The indicator divides each day into discrete intraday time positions (based on chart timeframe).
For each position, it stores and updates historical volume values across the selected number of days.
It calculates an average volume per time position by aggregating all stored values and dividing them by the number of valid days.
The result is plotted as a continuous histogram showing typical intraday volume distribution.
The bar colors and transparency dynamically reflect the relative intensity of volume at each point in the day.
Parameters & Customization
Number of Days for Averaging: Defines how many past days are included in the volume average calculation (default: 365).
UTC Offset: Allows synchronization of intraday cycles with local or exchange time zones.
Base Color: Sets the main color for plotted volume columns.
Color Mode: Choose between “Gradient” (transparency dynamically adjusts by intensity) or “Normal” (fixed opacity).
Day Line: Toggles dashed vertical lines marking the start of each trading day.
Visualization & Display
Volume is plotted as a series of histogram bars, each representing the average volume for a specific intraday time position.
A gradient color mode enhances readability by fading lower-intensity areas and highlighting high-volume regions.
Optional day-separator lines visually segment historical sessions for easy reference.
Works seamlessly across all chart timeframes that divide the 24-hour day into regular bar intervals.
Use Cases
Identify when trading activity typically peaks (e.g., session opens, news windows, or overlapping markets).
Compare current intraday volume to historical averages for early anomaly detection.
Enhance algorithmic or discretionary strategies that depend on volume-timing alignment.
Combine with volatility or price structure indicators to confirm market activity zones.
Evaluate session consistency across different time zones using the UTC offset parameter.
Limitations & Recommendations
The indicator requires intraday data (below 1D resolution) to function properly.
Volume behavior may vary across brokers and assets; adjust averaging period accordingly.
Does not predict price movement — it provides volume-based context for analysis.
Works best when combined with structure or momentum-based indicators.
Markets & Timeframes
Compatible with all intraday markets — including crypto, Forex, equities, and futures — and all intraday timeframes (from 1 minute to 4 hours). It is particularly valuable for analyzing assets with continuous 24-hour trading activity.
Author & Access
Developed 100% by Quantura. Published as a Open-source script indicator. Access is free.

Volume Area 80 Rule Pro - Adaptive RTHSummary in one paragraph
Adaptive value area 80 percent rule for index futures large cap equities liquid crypto and major FX on intraday timeframes. It focuses activity only when multiple context gates align. It is original because the classic prior day value area traverse is fused with a daily regime classifier that remaps the operating parameters in real time.
Scope and intent
• Markets. ES NQ SPY QQQ large cap equities BTC ETH major FX pairs and other liquid RTH instruments
• Timeframes. One minute to one hour with daily regime context
• Default demo used in the publication. ES1 on five minutes
• Purpose. Trade only the balanced days where the 80 percent traverse has edge while standing aside or tightening rules during trend or shock
Originality and usefulness
• Unique fusion. Prior day value area logic plus a rolling daily regime classifier using percentile ranks of realized volatility and ADX. The regime remaps hold time end of window stop buffer and value area coverage on each session
• Failure mode addressed. False starts during strong trend or shock sessions and weak traverses during quiet grind
• Testability. All gates are visible in Inputs and debug flags can be plotted so users can verify why a suggestion appears
• Portable yardstick. The regime uses ATR divided by close and ADX percent ranks which behave consistently across symbols
Method overview in plain language
The script builds the prior session profile during regular trading hours. At the first regular bar it freezes yesterday value area low value area high and point of control. It then evaluates the current session open location the first thirty minute volume rank the open gap rank and an opening drive test. In parallel a daily series classifies context into Calm Balance Trend or Shock from rolling percentile ranks of realized volatility and ADX. The classifier scales the rules. Calm uses longer holds and a slightly wider value area. Trend and Shock shorten the window reduce holds and enlarge stop buffers.
Base measures
• Range basis. True Range smoothed over a configurable length on both the daily and intraday series
• Return basis. Not required. ATR over close is the unit for regime strength
Components
• Prior Value Area Engine. Builds yesterday value area low value area high and point of control from a binned volume profile with automatic TPO fallback and minimum integrity guards
• Opening Location. Detects whether the session opens above the prior value area or below it
• Inside Hold Counter. Counts consecutive bars that hold inside the value area after a re entry
• Volume Gate. Percentile of the first thirty minutes volume over a rolling sample
• Gap Gate. Percentile rank of the regular session open gap over a rolling sample
• Drive Gate. Opening drive check using a multiple of intraday ATR
• Regime Classifier. Percentile ranks of daily ATR over close and daily ADX classify Calm Balance Trend Shock and remap parameters
• Session windows optional. Windows follow the chart exchange time
Fusion rule
Minimum satisfied gates approach. A re entry must hold inside the value area for a regime scaled number of bars while the volume gap and drive gates allow the setup. The regime simultaneously scales value area coverage end minute time stop and stop buffer.
Signal rule
• Long suggestion appears when price opens below yesterday value area then re enters and holds for the required bars while all gates allow the setup
• Short suggestion appears when price opens above yesterday value area then re enters and holds for the required bars while all gates allow the setup
• WAIT shows implicitly when any required gate is missing
• Exit labels mark target touch stop touch or a time based close
Inputs with guidance
Setup
• Signal timeframe. Uses the chart by default
• Session windows optional. Start and end minutes inside regular trading hours
• Invert direction is not used. The logic is symmetric
Logic
• Hold bars inside value area. Typical range 3 to 12. Raising it reduces trades and favors better traverses. Lowering it increases frequency and risk of false starts
• Earliest minute since RTH open and Latest minute since RTH open. Typical range 0 to 390. Reducing the latest minute cuts late session trades
• Time stop bars after entry. Typical range 6 to 30. Larger values give setups more room
Filters
• Value area coverage. Typical range 0.70 to 0.85. Higher coverage narrows the traverse but accepts fewer days
• Bin size in ticks. Typical range 1 to 8. Larger bins stabilize noisy profiles
• Stop buffer ticks beyond edge. Typical range 2 to 20. Larger buffers survive noise
• First thirty minute volume percentile. Typical range 0.30 to 0.70. Higher values require more active opens
• Gap filter percentile. Typical range 0.70 to 0.95. Lower values block more gap days
• Opening drive multiple and bars. Higher multiple or longer bars block strong directional opens
Adaptivity
• Lookback days for regime ranks. Typical 150 to 500
• Calm RV percentile. Typical 25 to 45
• Trend ADX percentile. Typical 55 to 75
• Shock RV percentile. Typical 75 to 90
• End minute ratio in Trend and Shock. Typical 0.5 to 0.8
• Hold and Time stop scales per regime. Use values near one to keep behavior close to static settings
Realism and responsible publication
• No performance claims. Past results never guarantee future outcomes
• Shapes can move while a bar forms and settle on close
• Sessions use the chart exchange time
Honest limitations and failure modes
• Economic releases and thin liquidity can break the balance premise
• Gap heavy symbols may work better with stronger gap filters and a True Range focus
• Very quiet regimes reduce signal contrast. Consider longer windows or higher thresholds

Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile is a smart-flow liquidity tracker that maps where stop-loss clusters and resting limit orders are likely positioned.
Instead of traditional volume profiles based only on executed transactions, this tool projects probable liquidity pools — areas where traders are trapped or positioned and where smart money may hunt stops or fill orders.
It dynamically scans recent price swings, builds liquidity zones above and below price, and visualizes them as a heat map + histogram — highlighting areas with the greatest liquidity attraction.
Orange highlights the highest-concentration liquidity (POC), making potential sweep targets obvious.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Liquidity pools form above swing highs (buy stops) and below swing lows (sell stops).
Market makers & large players often push price into these zones to trigger stops and capture liquidity.
The indicator uses recent volatility + volume expansion to estimate where these pools exist.
Horizontal heat bars show depth and intensity of probable liquidity.
Profile side histogram displays buy-side vs sell-side liquidity distribution.
🔵 FEATURES
Dynamic Liquidity Detection — finds potential stop-loss clusters from recent swing behavior.
Dual-Side Heatmap — split liquidity view above (short stops) and below (long stops) current price.
Volume-Weighted Levels — higher volatility & volume = deeper liquidity expectation.
Real-Time Heat Coloring
• Lime = liquidity below price (potential buy-side fuel)
• Blue = liquidity above price (potential sell-side fuel)
• Orange = peak liquidity (POC)
Liquidity Profile Histogram — plotted at right side, layered by strength.
Auto-Cleaning Engine — removes invalidated liquidity after breaks.
Adjustable lookback window and bin resolution .
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for price moving toward dense liquidity zones — high probability of wick raids or sweeps.
Orange POC often acts as magnet — strong target zone for smart money.
Combine with SFP / BOS logic to time reversals after liquidity hunts.
In trend, price repeatedly sweeps opposite-side liquidity before continuation.
Use liquidity walls as bias filters — heavy liquidity above often precedes downward move, and vice-versa.
Great for scalping sessions, indices, FX, BTC, ETH.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Dynamic Liquidity HeatMap Profile gives traders a tactical edge by revealing where the market’s hidden liquidity resides.
It highlights where shorts and longs are positioned, identifies likely sweep zones, and marks the most attractive liquidity magnet (POC).
Use it to anticipate stop hunts, avoid getting trapped, and align with smart-money flow instead of fighting it.
Intra Bar Volume ProfileThis indicator provides a high-resolution volume profile analysis for every single bar on the chart. It builds this profile by sampling data from a lower intra-bar timeframe, allowing for a granular view of price distribution and buying/selling pressure within the bar.
Key Features:
Intra-Bar Profile Engine: For each bar on the main chart, the indicator builds a complete volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. It uses:
Statistical Models ('Allot model'): Distributes volume across price levels using 'PDF' (Probability Density Function) or 'Classic' (close) methods.
Buy/Sell Classifiers ('Volume Estimator'): Splits volume using a 'Dynamic' (trend/wick-based) or 'Classic' (candle color) model.
On-Chart Visualization (Overlay): The analysis is rendered directly onto the price bars:
Point of Control (POC): A line showing the price level with the most volume for that bar.
Value Area (VA): A colored box representing the price range where the specified percentage (e..g., 50%) of volume was traded.
VWAP: Displays the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the bar as a separate line.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 8 alerts that trigger when the main price crosses over or under the key intra-bar levels: POC, VWAP, and the Value Area High/Low.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.

Market Structure Volume ProfileThis indicator visualizes volume profiles that are dynamically anchored to market structure events, rather than fixed time intervals. It builds these profiles using high-resolution intra-bar data to provide a precise view of where value is established during critical market phases.
Key Features:
Event-Based Profile Anchoring: The indicator starts a new profile based on one of three user-selected events ('Profile Anchor'):
Swing: A new profile begins when the 'impulse baseline' (derived from intra-bar delta) changes. This baseline adjusts when a new price pivot is confirmed: When a price high forms, the baseline moves to the lower of its previous level or the peak delta (max of delta O/C) at the pivot. When a price low forms, it moves to the higher of its previous level or the trough delta (min of delta O/C) at the pivot.
Structure: A new profile begins immediately on the bar that confirms a market structure break (e.g., a new HH or LL, based on a sequence of price pivots).
Delta: A new profile begins immediately on the bar that confirms a break in the cumulative delta's market structure (e.g., a new HH or LL in the delta). Both 'Swing' and 'Delta' anchors are derived from the same continuous (non-resetting) Cumulative Volume Profile Delta (CVPD), which is built from the intra-bar statistical analysis.
Statistical Profile Engine: For each bar in the anchored period, the indicator builds a volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it uses advanced statistical models:
Allocation ('Allot model'): 'PDF' (Probability Density Function) distributes volume proportionally across the bar's range based on an assumed statistical model (e.g., T4-Skew). 'Classic' assigns all volume to the close.
Buy/Sell Split ('Volume Estimator'): 'Dynamic' applies a model that analyzes candle wicks and recent trend to estimate buy/sell pressure. 'Classic' classifies all volume based on the candle color.
Visualization & Lag: The indicator plots the final profile (as a polygon) and the developing statistical lines (POC, VA, VWAP, StdDev).
Note on Lag: All anchor events require Pivot Right Bars for confirmation.
In 'Structure' and 'Delta' mode, the developing lines (POC, VA, etc.) are plotted using a non-repainting method (showing the value from pivRi bars ago).
In 'Swing' mode, the profile is plotted retroactively, starting from the bar where the pivot occurred. The developing lines are also plotted with this full pivRi lag to align with the past data.
Flexible Display Modes: The finalized profile can be displayed in three ways: 'Up/Down' (buy vs. sell), 'Total' (combined volume), and 'Delta' (net difference).
Dynamic Row Sizing: Includes an option ('Rows per Percent') to automatically adjust the number of profile rows (buckets) based on the profile's price range.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 13 alerts that trigger for:
A new profile reset ('Profile was resetted').
Price crossing any of the 6 developing levels (POC, VA High/Low, VWAP, StdDev High/Low).
Alert Lag Assumption: In 'Swing' mode, alerts are delayed to match the retroactively plotted lines. In 'Structure' and 'Delta' modes, alerts fire in real-time based on the current price crossing the current (repainting) value of the metric, which may differ from the non-repainting plotted line.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This includes the values used for real-time alerts in 'Structure' and 'Delta' modes.
