The Daily TPO Profile indicator constructs a daily Time Price Opportunity (TPO) profile similar to a Market Profile, analyzing market activity by price levels throughout each trading session. It divides the price axis into fixed increments ("Row Size" in pips) and counts how many bars traded at each price step, representing TPOs. At the end of the session, it calculates three key levels: the Point of Control (POC), where the market spent the most time; the Value Area High (VAH); and the Value Area Low (VAL), which together define the price range containing approximately 70% of the trading activity.
The indicator plots these levels as horizontal lines on the chart—POC in red, VAH and VAL in blue—updating them bar by bar during the session and resetting daily. Traders use the POC as an equilibrium price level that may act as support or resistance. The Value Area highlights fair value zones, with price action near VAH and VAL signaling potential rejection or acceptance of price extremes. Typical applications include identifying mean reversion opportunities when price rejects VAL or trend-following setups when price breaks above VAH.
Main adjustable parameters include Row Size (pips), controlling profile detail, and Value Area %, defining the percentage of TPOs included in the value area. The indicator supports analysis across various markets including forex, indices, commodities, stocks, and cryptocurrencies.
