Volume Profile Indicator Based on the works of tradeforopp
Overview The Volume Profile Indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool that visually represents the distribution of trading volume over price levels within a specified timeframe. It helps traders identify key support and resistance zones, high-volume trading areas, and low-volume rejection zones. The indicator includes customizable settings for Volume Point of Control (VPOC), High Volume Nodes (HVNs), and Low Volume Nodes (LVNs), making it a versatile tool for price action analysis and volume-based decision-making.
Key Features 🔹 Customizable Volume Profile
Adjustable number of rows to define the resolution of the volume profile. Configurable timeframe aggregation for profile calculation (e.g., Daily, Weekly). Selectable price resolution timeframe for precise profile construction. Extendable volume profile for future sessions. Fully customizable profile color and transparency settings. 🔹 Volume Point of Control (VPOC)
Displays the most traded price level within the selected timeframe. Option to extend multiple VPOCs across the chart. Adjustable VPOC line width and color customization. Option to display VPOC labels when working with higher timeframe profiles. 🔹 High Volume Nodes (HVNs)
Identifies high-volume price levels where significant trading activity has occurred. Configurable HVN strength to adjust detection sensitivity. Two display modes: Lines: Plots HVN levels as horizontal lines. Areas: Highlights HVN regions with colored boxes. Separate bullish and bearish HVN color settings. 🔹 Low Volume Nodes (LVNs)
Identifies low-volume price levels, which often act as rejection zones. Configurable LVN strength to fine-tune detection. Two display modes: Lines: Marks LVN levels as horizontal lines. Areas: Highlights LVN regions with shaded boxes. Separate bullish and bearish LVN color settings. 🔹 Optimized for Performance
Efficient use of arrays for data storage and retrieval. Global functions for HVN and LVN detection. Uses security calls to access lower timeframe price and volume data. Use Cases ✅ Identify Support & Resistance Levels The indicator highlights key price levels where significant buying or selling interest exists.
✅ Detect Breakout & Reversal Zones Low-volume areas (LVNs) often indicate price rejection zones, while high-volume areas (HVNs) suggest strong price acceptance zones.
✅ Improve Trade Entries & Exits Traders can use the Volume Point of Control (VPOC) and volume clusters to refine entry and exit points.
✅ Enhance Price Action Strategies By incorporating volume-based analysis, this indicator provides deeper market insights beyond traditional support/resistance and trendlines.
