VOLUME PROFILE FIXED RANGE — PRO

Most indicators tell you where price went. Volume Profile tells you where the market actually traded — the levels where buyers and sellers committed real volume. Those are the levels that keep acting as support, resistance and price magnets long after the move is over.

This indicator brings a complete, professional Fixed Range Volume Profile to cTrader: select any range on your chart and instantly see its volume structure, Point of Control and Value Area.

🆕 NEW IN VERSION 2

• Interactive range selection — drop the indicator on the chart and simply drag two lines to set your range. No typing, no dates, no setup.

• Minute-data precision — the profile is built from M1 bars even on H1 or Daily charts, giving a far more accurate volume distribution than bar-based approximations.

• Industry-standard Value Area — VAH and VAL are now calculated with the classic Market Profile expansion method, so your levels match what professionals see on other platforms.

• Buy/Sell split histogram — each row shows the proportion of buying vs selling volume, letting you spot absorption and imbalance at a glance.

• Smooth, instant rendering — the profile follows your scrolling and zooming in real time, with no flicker and no waiting for the next tick.

• Adjustable smoothing — refine the profile shape without distorting the key levels.

• Developing POC — optional line showing how the Point of Control migrated through the range.

• Smarter data handling — automatically loads older history when your range requires it, and warns you if the available data is incomplete.

• Theme-aware design — colors chosen to stay readable on both dark and light charts, plus a clean info panel with range, total volume, POC, VAH and VAL.

📊 WHAT IT SHOWS

• POC (Point of Control) — the price level with the highest traded volume in the range.

• Value Area (VAH / VAL) — the zone containing 70% of all volume (adjustable from 50% to 95%).

• Volume histogram — 10 to 400 price rows, colored by buy/sell dominance or split per row.

• Developing POC — how the fairest price evolved across the range (optional).

🎯 HOW TRADERS USE IT

• Trade reactions at POC — it often behaves as strong support/resistance and a mean-reversion magnet.

• Use Value Area edges to define range boundaries and spot genuine breakouts.

• Identify low-volume zones where price tends to move fast — natural targets and stop areas.

• Confirm your key levels with actual market participation instead of price action alone.

⚙️ FULLY ADJUSTABLE

• Two range modes: interactive drag lines or fixed start/end dates.

• Rows, Value Area percentage, smoothing, histogram side, width and offset.

• Two histogram styles: buy/sell split or single dominance color.

• Every color customizable; POC, Value Area, info panel and Developing POC can each be toggled.

🔧 BUILT FOR DAILY USE

• Works on any symbol and any timeframe.

• Sensible defaults — showing a usable profile seconds after you attach it.

• Lightweight and efficient: recalculates only when the range changes, not on every tick.

• One-time purchase. No subscription. Free updates.

If volume analysis is part of your process — or you want it to be — this gives you the complete Fixed Range toolset, built natively for cTrader.
