MT5 Market Profiles
- Indicatori
- Versione: 2.1
- Aggiornato: 18 agosto 2026
TPO Market Profile displays Time Price Opportunity profiles directly on your MetaTrader 5 chart. Each session is divided into 30-minute brackets, helping traders identify value areas, balance zones, and key support/resistance levels. A built-in Volume mode and an on-chart control panel let you switch views with one click — no need to reopen the settings window.
Key Features:
- Daily, Weekly & Monthly profiles with up to 50 historical sessions (12 for Monthly)
- POC, Value Area (VAH/VAL) calculated using standard CME method (70% rule)
- TPO / Volume metric switch — POC and Value Area recalculate instantly, no data reload
- Merged or Split view — pack blocks to the left, or place every 30-minute bracket at its real position on the time axis, so each letter sits directly above the candles that produced it
- Initial Balance — IBH/IBL lines over the first sub-session: 60 minutes on Daily, the first trading day on Weekly and Monthly
- Naked Levels — unvisited POC/VAH/VAL automatically extended to current price with price labels
- Bracket letters (A–Z, a–z) show which 30-min period visited each price level — on Weekly/Monthly they recycle every day, so the same letter always marks the same time of day
- Time gradient shading — earlier brackets appear lighter, recent ones darker
- Right Profile mode — anchors current session profile to the right edge of the chart
- The developing session scales with elapsed time — the profile never draws into the future
- On-chart control panel — toggle everything with one click, including hiding the whole indicator
- Auto row sizing — optimal tick-per-row calculated from session range
- Self-healing start — waits for history to sync and builds automatically; Refresh button forces a full recalculation
Requirements: Complete M1 history data. Recommended timeframe: M15–H1. Enable Chart Shift when using Right Profile.
How to Use
- Attach the indicator to any chart (M15–H1 recommended)
- Set History Count = 3–5 for intraday trading, 10–20 for swing trading
- Enable Extend Lines to spot Naked levels acting as potential support/resistance
- Use Right Profile + Chart Shift for real-time current session monitoring
- Increase Target Rows to 80–100 for more detail, decrease to 30–40 for overview
- Pair it with the Volume Profile indicator (Anchor Session Right enabled) for a classic TPO-left + volume-right session layout
Control Panel
A compact button panel sits in the top-left corner of the chart. Green = enabled, gray = disabled, blue = mode selector. To move it, set the Panel X / Panel Y inputs (pixels from the top-left corner). When running two copies or combining with Volume Profile, give each panel its own X/Y so they do not overlap.
