Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman)

█ Overview

Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman) is a next-generation volume profile that renders market participation as a 3D-style profile directly on your chart. Instead of flat histograms, you get a depth-aware profile with parallax, gradient transparency, and bull/bear separation, so you can see where liquidity stacked up and how it shifted during the move.


Highlights:

• 3D visual effect with perspective and depth shading for clarity.
  
• Bull/Bear separation to see whether up bars or down bars created the volume.
  
• Flexible colors and gradients that highlight where the most significant trading activity took place.
  

This is a state-of-the-art volume profile — visually powerful, highly flexible, and unlike anything else available.

█ How It Works

⚪Profile Construction
The price range (from highest to lowest) is divided into a number of levels (buckets). Each bar’s volume is added to the correct level, based on its average price. This builds a map of where trading volume was concentrated.

You can choose to:

• Aggregate all volume at each level, or
  
• Split bullish vs. bearish volume, slightly offset for clarity.
  

This creates a clear view of which price zones matter most to the market.

⚪ 3D Effect Creation
The unique part of this indicator is how the 3D projection is built. Each volume block’s width is scaled to its relative size, then tilted with a slope factor to create a depth effect.

maxVol = bins.bu.max() + bins.be.max()
width  = math.max(1, math.floor(bucketVol / maxVol * ((bar_index - start) * mult)))
slope  = -(step * dev) / ((bar_index - start) * (mult/2))
factor = math.pow(math.min(1.0, math.abs(slope) / step), .5)

• width → determines how far the volume extends, based on relative strength.
  
• slope → creates the angled projection for the 3D look.
  
• factor → adjusts perspective to make deeper areas shrink naturally.
  

The result is a 3D-style volume profile where large areas pop forward and smaller areas fade back, giving you immediate visual context.

█ How to Use

⚪Support & Resistance Zones (HVNs and Value Area)
Regions where a lot of volume traded tend to act like walls:

• If price approaches a high-volume area from above, it may act as support.
  
• From below, it may act as resistance.
  
• Traders often enter or exit near these zones because they represent strong agreement among market participants.
  

⚪POC Rejections & Mean Reversions
The Point of Control (POC) is the single price level with the highest volume in the profile.

• When price returns to the POC and rejects it, that’s often a signal for reversal trades.
  
• In ranging markets, price may bounce between edges of the Value Area and revert to POC.
  

⚪Breakouts via Low-Volume Zones (LVNs)
Low volume areas (gaps in the profile) offer path of least resistance:

• Price often moves quickly through these thin zones when momentum builds.
  
• Use them to spot breakouts or continuation trades.
  

⚪Directional Insight
Use the bull/bear separation to see whether buyers or sellers dominated at key levels.


█ Settings

• Use Active Chart – Profile updates with visible candles.
  
• Custom Period – Fixed number of bars.
  
• Up/Down – Adjust tilt for the 3D angle.
  
• Left/Right – Scale width of the profile.
  
• Aggregated – Merge bull/bear volume.
  
• Bull/Bear Shift – Separate bullish and bearish volume.
  
• Buckets – Number of price levels.
  
• Choose from templates or set custom colors.
  
• POC Gradient option makes high volume bolder, low volume lighter.
