Delta Volume Profile,Order Flow, Buy/Sell&Absorption POC LunqFX

A normal volume profile shows you HOW MUCH volume traded at each price. Delta Volume Profile shows you WHO did it — buyers or sellers — at every price level. Each row of the profile is split into buying volume and selling volume, turning a plain histogram into a clean order-flow map that reveals where demand and supply were really built, and the one level where a large player was quietly absorbing the flow.

❶ WHAT YOU SEE

▸ THE DELTA PROFILE — a horizontal volume profile on the right of price, but every price level is split in two: blue = buying volume, orange = selling volume. The total length of a row is the volume traded there; the blue/orange split is the delta — the balance of buyers versus sellers at that exact price. One glance tells you whether a level was accumulation, distribution, or a fair two-sided fight.

▸ ABSORPTION POC — this is the level that matters most, and it is not the ordinary Point of Control. A classic POC is simply the highest-volume row. The Absorption POC is the row where heavy volume traded with a balanced delta — lots of buying AND selling at the same price. That is the signature of absorption: a large participant filling orders against the crowd without letting price move. It is marked with a gold line and label, because it is where reversals and strong reactions most often begin.

▸ DASHBOARD — a compact readout of the whole range: NET DELTA (are buyers or sellers in control overall), the Buy/Sell split as a percentage, and the exact Absorption price.

❷ WHY DELTA AND ABSORPTION MATTER

Price only tells you where the market went. Order flow tells you the effort behind the move. A rally on weak buying delta is fragile; a level held by heavy two-sided absorption is where smart money is defending a position. By splitting volume into buy and sell at every price — and by isolating the absorption level — this profile shows the intent behind the volume, not just its size. That is the difference between a plain volume profile and an order-flow read.

❸ HOW TO USE IT

1 — Read the NET DELTA in the dashboard. Positive = buyers dominated the range (look for longs on pullbacks); negative = sellers dominated (favour shorts on rallies).

2 — Trade toward and away from the ABSORPTION level. It acts as a magnet and a strong support/resistance zone — price often returns to it, and reactions from it are among the cleanest on the chart. Use it as a target or as your line in the sand.

3 — Read each level's split before you trust it. A level that is mostly blue (buying) is genuine demand; a level built on orange (selling) is supply. When price approaches a level, its colour tells you which side is likely to defend it.

4 — Watch for imbalance vs balance. Strongly one-sided rows (almost all blue or all orange) mark aggressive, directional levels. Balanced rows — especially the Absorption POC — mark battle zones where the trend is most likely to stall or turn.

❹ HOW IT WORKS (transparent)

For every bar, volume is split into buy-volume and sell-volume from where price closed inside the bar's range: buy-volume = volume × (close − low) ÷ range, sell-volume = volume × (high − close) ÷ range. This is a transparent, range-based delta estimate — it needs no tick or bid/ask feed, so it runs on any symbol. Each bar's buy and sell volume is added to the price row it traded in, across a fixed rolling lookback. The Absorption POC is the row that maximises (row volume ÷ largest row volume) × (1 − |buy − sell| ÷ row volume) — heavy volume weighted by how balanced its delta is. On symbols that report no exchange volume, the profile falls back to equal weight per bar (a price-density profile) so it still works everywhere, and the panel says PRICE PROFILE instead of DELTA PROFILE.

Best used on markets with real volume — crypto (e.g. BINANCE:BTCUSDT), stocks, futures and indices — on any timeframe. On forex the volume is broker tick-volume, so treat the delta as an approximation of order flow.

SETTINGS — lookback, number of rows (resolution), profile width, row gap, absorption line on/off, neutral candles on/off, and dashboard position.

NON-REPAINTING — the profile is built only from closed historical bars over a fixed lookback and drawn on the last bar. It uses no request.security and no lookahead, so history never changes; only the current forming bar updates live, as with any volume profile.

This indicator is an educational market-analysis tool, not financial advice. The volume delta shown is a transparent estimate from price and volume, not exchange-audited bid/ask order flow, and past behaviour does not guarantee future results. Always confirm with your own analysis and manage your risk.
