Ospe POC Volume Profile
- Indicatori
- Versione: 1.0
- Attivazioni: 10
A volume-at-price heatmap with POC, value area, estimated buy/sell pressure, confirmed signals and alerts.
POC Volume Profile Heatmap is a MetaTrader 5 indicator that organizes historical volume across price levels. It identifies the Point of Control, displays the selected value area, and estimates buying and selling pressure at the POC.
The indicator is intended for traders who use volume-at-price structure to study acceptance, rejection and interaction around high-activity price levels. It can be used on any symbol and timeframe that provides sufficient price and volume history.
Main functions
- Right-side volume-at-price heatmap with separate estimated buy and sell components
- Point of Control price and highlighted POC row
- Value Area High and Value Area Low levels
- Configurable value area percentage
- Estimated POC buy and sell percentages
- Two pressure estimation methods
- Tick volume support
- Real volume option with automatic tick-volume fallback
- POC test signals on a fully closed candle
- Optional requirement for the candle to close beyond the POC
- Popup, push and sound alerts
- Compact information panel
- Adjustable colors, profile width, row count and display settings
- Six output buffers for integration through iCustom
How signals are formed
A signal is evaluated on the most recently closed candle. The candle must touch the POC within the selected tolerance. The estimated buy or sell share at the POC must meet the Dominance Threshold. When Require Close Beyond POC is enabled, a buy signal also requires a close above the POC and a sell signal requires a close below the POC.
Pressure calculation
Close Location distributes each candle's volume according to the position of its close inside the candle range. Candle Direction assigns bullish candle volume to buying pressure and bearish candle volume to selling pressure. These values are estimates derived from candle and volume data. They are not exchange order-flow, bid/ask or Level II measurements.
Default setup
- Lookback Bars: 300
- Profile Rows: 60
- Value Area Percent: 70
- Volume Source: Broker tick volume
- Pressure Method: Close location inside candle range
- Dominance Threshold: 55 percent
- Touch Tolerance: 0.50 profile row
- Require Close Beyond POC: enabled
Usage notes
Attach the indicator to a chart and allow sufficient historical data to load. The profile is recalculated on a new bar. When Include Current Bar is enabled, it can also refresh during the live candle according to Refresh Seconds. Signal arrows use the last fully closed candle to reduce intrabar changes.
The meaning of one point and the quality of volume data vary by symbol and broker. Test the settings on the intended symbol, timeframe and broker feed before using signals in trading decisions.
iCustom buffers
0 - Buy signal arrow price
1 - Sell signal arrow price
2 - POC price
3 - Estimated POC buy percentage
4 - Estimated POC sell percentage
5 - Signal code: 1 buy, -1 sell, 0 neutral
Important
This indicator is an analytical tool. It does not open, modify or close trades. Signals and estimated pressure values do not guarantee future market direction or trading results.
