What It Does?

Unlike fixed or session-based profiles, this tool automatically anchors volume profiles to significant pivot highs and lows, dynamically mapping the auction process of each swing. This makes it possible to see where market participants actually committed capital — not just where price happened to move.

✨ Key elements include:

📍 Automatic Pivot Detection – Profiles are built between swing highs and lows, updating as new pivots form.

📊 Detailed Volume Distribution – Histograms display how volume is allocated across price, with user-defined resolution and width.

🎯 Value Area & POC Levels – Instant calculation and visualization of Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL).

📈 Developing Profile – A live-updating profile on the current leg provides forward-looking context.

➡️ Extending POC Zones – Project the POC forward until touched or crossed by price, highlighting future reaction zones.

📝 Informative Labels & Tooltips – Price labels, % change, cumulative volume, and a clean statistical panel on hover.

🎨 Volume-Weighted Bar Coloring – Candles shaded by volume intensity for quick pattern recognition.

⚙️ Full Customization – Adjust colors, placement, and display to integrate seamlessly with your chart style.

How to Use

1️⃣ Attach to any chart – works across all timeframes and instruments.

2️⃣ Adjust pivot length – control sensitivity to swing highs/lows (shorter = more profiles, longer = major structure only).

3️⃣ Interpret profiles in context:

• 🎯 POC – price level with the most traded volume, often a magnet.

• 📏 VAH / VAL – boundaries of the value area, powerful support/resistance.

• 🌀 Histogram Shape – identify balance areas, rejection zones, and distribution shifts.

4️⃣ Watch the developing profile – follow how auction structure builds in real time.

5️⃣ Use alerts – get notified when price interacts with POC, VAH, VAL, or when high-volume bars appear.

6️⃣ Apply as a framework – refine entries at volume-based levels, anticipate reversals, and confirm trends through volume structure.

Why Traders Use It

This indicator translates raw volume into meaningful structure. By anchoring profiles to pivots, it adapts to live market dynamics instead of relying on arbitrary session splits. Whether intraday, swing, or positional trading, anchored volume distribution provides deeper clarity for decision making.
