Volume Profile Key Levels

7 часов назад

Volume Profile Key Levels (VP Lvls)
Overview
A comprehensive Volume Profile indicator that automatically calculates and displays key volume-based support/resistance levels including POC (Point of Control), VAH (Value Area High), VAL (Value Area Low), and LVN (Low Volume Nodes) zones.
The indicator uses a fixed 500-row resolution and time-based lookback, ensuring consistent levels across all timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1H, etc.).

Key Features
📊 Volume Profile Levels

POC (Point of Control) - Price level with the highest traded volume (yellow solid line)
VAH (Value Area High) - Upper boundary of the value area (red dashed line)
VAL (Value Area Low) - Lower boundary of the value area (green dashed line)
Value Area - Configurable percentage (default 68%) where most trading activity occurred

🔵 Low Volume Node (LVN) Detection
Automatically identifies price zones with significantly lower volume - areas where price tends to move quickly through. LVNs are marked as blue boxes on the chart.
Smart LVN Detection uses:

Relative comparison to local average volume
Relative comparison to local peak volume
Absolute floor check to prevent false positives in value areas

📈 Volume Histogram
Visual representation of volume distribution at each price level:

Orange - Inside Value Area
Teal - Outside Value Area
Yellow - POC level

How to Use
For Support/Resistance

POC acts as a strong magnet - price often returns to POC
VAH/VAL serve as value area boundaries - breakouts beyond these levels can signal trend continuation
LVN zones are areas of low acceptance - price moves quickly through these, making them potential breakout/breakdown zones

For Entry/Exit

Look for entries near POC, VAL, or VAH with confirmation
Use LVN zones as potential targets - price often accelerates through these areas
VAH rejection = potential short, VAL rejection = potential long

Multi-Timeframe Analysis
The indicator displays identical levels across all timeframes when using the same settings. This allows you to:

Identify levels on higher timeframes
Fine-tune entries on lower timeframes
Confirm confluence across multiple timeframes


Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:

Price crossing POC
Price crossing VAH
Price crossing VAL


Technical Notes

Uses 500 fixed rows for high-resolution profile
Auto-calculates row size based on price range
Maximum 4000 bars lookback (Pine Script limitation)
Optimized for performance with smart box management
