Session Volume Profile — Daily + Weekly Know where the volume is. Trade with the market, not against it.
What It Does
Session Volume Profile maps exactly where volume was traded across price — for the current day and optionally the full trading week. Updated in real time, directly on your chart.
At a glance you can see where the market accepted price, where it rejected it, and where the key reference levels are for the session ahead. No repainting. No clutter. Just clean, actionable levels.
Key Levels

| Label | Name | What It Tells You |
| dPOC | Daily Point of Control | The price where the most volume traded today — the market's fairest price |
| dVAH | Daily Value Area High | Upper edge of the zone containing 70% of today's volume |
| dVAL | Daily Value Area Low | Lower edge of the value area |
| DH | Day High | Highest price reached today |
| DL | Day Low | Lowest price reached today |
Weekly (optional — off by default)
| Label | Name | What It Tells You |
| wPOC | Weekly Point of Control | The price with the most volume this week |
| wVAH | Weekly Value Area High | Upper edge of the week's value area |

Volume Histogram
A colour-coded histogram shows the full volume distribution shape to the right of your session lines — so you can read the profile instantly without any mental calculation.
- POC bar — stands out in its own colour at a glance
- Value area bars — distinct colour showing where the market was most active
- Outside VA bars — clearly dimmed so extremes are easy to spot
- Bars grow leftward from a fixed right edge — the full shape is always visible, nothing clips off-screen
- No flashing — bars update in place on every tick, no flickering
Flexible Session Control
You decide exactly what's on the chart.
| Mode | Daily | Weekly |

Toggle each session on or off instantly from the inputs panel — no need to remove and re-add the indicator.
Smart Labels
Every level has a right-edge label in matching colour. When two levels are close together, the labels automatically separate so they never overlap or stack on top of each other. The minimum separation is configurable — dial it up on tight-range days, or set it to zero to place labels exactly at their price.
Labels sit in two distinct columns when both sessions are active — daily on the left, weekly shifted further right — so you can always tell them apart at a glance.
