Volume Profile + CVD is a professional volume analysis indicator for MetaTrader 4 that displays volume distribution by price levels and cumulative volume delta.
Full MT5-version functionality, adapted for MQL4. One file — all volume analysis on the chart.
🎯 What the indicator shows
1. Volume Profile (right side of chart)
Horizontal histogram of volume distribution by price levels. Each bar's length = total volume traded at that level over the last N bars.
🔵 Blue bars — regular price levels
🔴 POC (Point of Control) — level with maximum volume
🟠 VAH (Value Area High) — top of Value Area (70% of volume)
🟠 VAL (Value Area Low) — bottom of Value Area
2. CVD (top-left corner)
Cumulative Volume Delta — accumulated volume delta.
Formula: if Close > Open → +Volume, if Close < Open → −Volume, summed over the period.
🟡 Positive value — buyers dominated
🟡 Negative value — sellers dominated

📌 Trading scenarios
1. Trading from POC
POC is a price magnet, often retested
Bounce off POC → entry in bounce direction
POC break → strong move in break direction
2. Trading in Value Area
Price inside VAH–VAL — balanced market
VAH break up → buyers took control
VAL break down → sellers took control
3. CVD vs price divergence
Price Higher High + CVD Lower High → weakening buyers
Price Lower Low + CVD Higher Low → weakening sellers
4. Signal confirmation
Other indicator signal + CVD confirmation → stronger signal
5. Return to naked POCs
Previous session POCs often attract price

⚠️ Important warning
Tick Volume is used, not real volume. MT4 doesn't have centralized exchange volumes for Forex, so the indicator works with ticks per bar.
Works great on:
Cryptocurrencies (at some brokers)
Indices
Works approximately on:
Forex — direction and shape correct, absolute values conditional
The indicator is an analysis tool, not a trading system. All trading decisions are made by the trader.
