Side Volume Profile is a right-anchored volume profile indicator designed for cTrader that displays volume-by-price data over a selectable range, either automatically by timeframe or a fixed number of bars. It visualizes key volume levels including Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and profile bounds (high/low). The indicator highlights low-volume zones (LVZ) based on configurable thresholds and minimum heights. It also features a volume histogram with an exponential moving average (EMA) offset in pips above the profile range.
Users can customize the layout with controls for row bins, profile width and scale, right offset, bin thickness, label gaps, and opacity. Line widths and styles for VAH, POC, VAL, and profile bounds are adjustable. Multiple high-contrast color palettes and custom color options are available. A toggleable top-right statistics panel provides summary data with adjustable font size.
The indicator supports various markets including Forex, indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and stocks, with tags referencing symbols like BTCUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, XAUUSD, NAS100, and USDJPY. It is built for readability and performance, maintaining a stable position on the chart without shifting when panning.
