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.
Key Features:
- Daily & Weekly profiles with up to 50 historical sessions
- POC, Value Area (VAH/VAL) calculated using standard CME method (70% rule)
- Initial Balance — first 60-minute range with background highlight
- 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
- Time gradient shading — earlier brackets appear lighter, recent ones darker
- Right Profile mode — anchors current session profile to the right edge of the chart
- Auto row sizing — optimal tick-per-row calculated from session range
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
