Pivot Profile

Pivot Profile

Pivot Profile is an advanced volume and market structure analysis indicator that uses the density of swing highs and lows to build a sideways market profile. Unlike the traditional Volume Profile, this indicator focuses on what really matters: where reversal pivots are clustering.

The indicator identifies zones of Supply and Demand Concentration, allowing you to visually spot price walls where the market is likely to react.

Why use Pivot Profile?

Pivot Profile reveals the price levels that algorithms and large players have repeatedly defended. When multiple pivots align within a narrow range, a Concentration Area (CA) is formed — a high-probability zone for reversal or continuation trades.

Key Features

• Horizontal Histogram Profile: Clear visualization of support strength (blue) and resistance strength (red).

• Automatic Concentration Lines (CAs): The indicator automatically draws horizontal lines at levels that reach a configurable density threshold.

• Customizable Resolution: Adjust the profile granularity to capture micro movements or large macro zones.

• Fully Customizable: Adjustable colors, spacing, numeric labels, and analysis depth.

Recommended Settings (Presets)

For best performance, the indicator should be adjusted according to the asset’s volatility:

• XAUUSD (Gold):

  • Maximum Pivots Analyzed: 200

  • Resolution (Rows): 60

  • Result: Captures finer and more precise liquidity zones for scalping and day trading.

• BTCUSD (Bitcoin):

  • Maximum Pivots Analyzed: 120

  • Resolution (Rows): 50

  • Result: Ideal for filtering high-volatility crypto noise, focusing on stronger support and resistance zones.

Technical Parameters

• Sensibility: Number of sideways bars required to confirm a swing high or low.

• Maximum Pivots: Historical lookback depth of the indicator.

• Resolution: Number of columns (bins) in the histogram.

• CA Threshold: Minimum number of pivots at the same level required to draw an automatic S/R line.
