- Version: 2.0
- Activations: 5
OVERVIEW
Gold Swing Profile is a precision volume analysis indicator built exclusively for XAUUSD (Gold) and XAGUSD (Silver). It anchors a complete volume profile between confirmed swing highs and swing lows, revealing exactly where institutional participation occurred inside each directional leg — giving you the edge that price action alone cannot provide.
Recommended starting timeframe: M30. The M30 chart delivers the strongest statistical edge, with backtested TP1 and TP2 hit rates of 67% and an average realized RR of 0.68 across 46 signals. Higher timeframes (H1, H4) offer fewer but cleaner signals.
Instead of using fixed sessions or arbitrary time windows, Gold Swing Profile anchors strictly between confirmed swing structure — updating in real time while a swing forms and locking the profile permanently once direction flips.
🟡 CONCEPTS
- Swing-Anchored Profiling — Volume is measured only between confirmed swing highs and swing lows, ensuring every profile reflects real market structure rather than arbitrary time cuts.
- Directional Legs — Each bullish and bearish swing leg receives its own independent volume profile, so you see exactly who dominated each move.
- ATR-Adaptive Bins — Profile bin size scales automatically with ATR(14), keeping resolution consistent whether gold is ranging at 5 pts per bar or trending at 20 pts.
- Real-Time Rebuild — While a swing is forming, the profile continuously recalculates on every bar so you always see live data, not stale snapshots.
- Finalized Profiles — Once the swing direction flips, the profile locks permanently as a historical reference level.
- EMA Trend Confirmation — Signals require EMA(8), EMA(21) and EMA(50) ribbon alignment plus macro trend via EMA(50), filtering out low-quality entries.
🟡 FEATURES
- Gold Volume Profile — Horizontal volume distribution bars scaled to the current swing, colour-coded gold for bullish legs and silver-grey for bearish legs.
- Point of Control (POC) — A persistent red horizontal line marking the exact price where the most volume traded inside the swing. Extends to the right of the chart for easy reference.
- Buy / Sell Volume Separation — Every candle's volume is classified as buy (bullish close) or sell (bearish close), giving you a true picture of who is in control.
- Delta Volume Signal — Net buy minus sell pressure expressed as a percentage. Readings above +20% trigger bullish signals; below -20% trigger bearish signals.
- TP1 / TP2 / TP3 Levels — Three take profit lines drawn automatically from entry using ATR-based Risk:Reward ratios (default 0.8×, 1.5×, 2.5×). Each level is labelled on the chart with its RR ratio.
- Stop Loss Level — A suggested SL placed at 1.5× ATR from entry, with the swing boundary shown separately as the structural invalidation level.
- Hit-Rate Statistics Dashboard — Live backtested stats showing TP1 / TP2 / TP3 hit rates, SL hit rate, average bars to target, and realized RR over the last 100 bars.
- Smart Alert System — Fires popup, sound, push notification and email alerts the moment a signal confirms, including full trade details: entry price, SL, TP1, TP2, TP3 and delta reading.
- ZigZag Swing Connector — Dotted line connecting swing highs and lows for instant structural clarity.
- HeatMap Mode — Optional gradient fill showing volume intensity across the profile from low (dim) to high (bright).
- Signal Quality Tiers — Three tiers: STRONG (all conditions aligned), CONFIRMED (EMA + delta), DELTA ONLY (volume imbalance without EMA). Each fires a different alert label so you know exactly what you are acting on.
🟡 HOW TO USE
- Start on M30 — Attach to XAUUSD or XAGUSD on the M30 chart. Allow 2-3 bars for the ATR and EMA to warm up, then watch the dashboard for the first signal.
- Wait for STRONG or CONFIRMED signals — These require both EMA ribbon alignment and delta above threshold. DELTA ONLY signals (amber) are early warnings — wait for EMA confirmation before entering.
- Enter at the signal bar close — The indicator waits for the M30 bar to close before confirming. This is intentional: candle-close entries are more reliable than mid-bar entries on gold.
- Use TP1 as your first target — With a 67% hit rate on M30, TP1 is your primary exit. Move SL to break-even once TP1 is reached, then let TP2 and TP3 run.
- POC as re-entry and reversal zone — When price pulls back to the POC during a bullish swing, this is a high-probability re-entry area. When delta turns negative at POC, prepare for reversal.
- Monitor delta in real time — The delta bar in the dashboard updates every 500ms. Watch it climb above +20% (bullish) or drop below -20% (bearish) to anticipate the next signal before it fires.
🟡 DATA LABELS
- T — Total traded volume inside the current swing
- B — Buy volume percentage (bullish candles)
- S — Sell volume percentage (bearish candles)
- D — Delta volume (B minus S as a percentage)
- ATR — Current ATR(14) value used for bin sizing and TP/SL calculation
🟡 STATISTICS DASHBOARD
The dashboard shows live backtested performance over the last 100 bars so you always know the current edge on your specific timeframe and symbol. Key metrics displayed:
- TP1 / TP2 / TP3 hit rates with average bars to reach each level
- SL hit rate (lower is better)
- Average realized RR across all signals
- Edge rating: GOOD EDGE / MARGINAL EDGE / NO EDGE
On XAUUSD M30, typical values are TP1 67%, TP2 67%, TP3 59%, SL 39%, edge GOOD.
