Volume Profile + CVD is a professional volume analysis indicator for MetaTrader 5 that displays volume distribution by price levels and cumulative volume delta.
The indicator answers two key trader questions:
-
Where did volume actually trade? — Volume Profile
-
Who dominates the market — buyers or sellers? — CVD
All in one window, no separate sub-charts or switching.
🎯 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. Key support/resistance
-
🟠 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
-
Sharp rise/fall — increasing pressure in one direction

📌 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, ranging
-
VAH break up → buyers took control
-
VAL break down → sellers took control
3. CVD vs price divergence
-
Price makes Higher High, CVD — Lower High → weakening buyers, possible reversal
-
Price makes Lower Low, CVD — Higher Low → weakening sellers
4. Signal confirmation
-
Other indicator signal (Supertrend, divergence) + CVD confirmation → stronger signal
-
POC bounce + bullish candle → reliable entry point
5. Levels price returns to
-
Naked POCs — levels price hasn't revisited
-
Previous session POCs often attract price

📋 Implementation notes (MT5)
-
Pure MQL5 — no DLLs, no external dependencies
-
Uses OBJ_RECTANGLE_LABEL — works on any TF and instrument
-
Sqrt-scaling for bar width — all levels equally visible
-
Automatic redraw on scroll, zoom, TF change
-
Performance optimized: 200–300 bars × 30 bins = ~6000 operations (instant)
-
Operation logging to terminal journal
⚠️ Important warning
Tick Volume is used, not real volume. MT4/MT5 don't have centralized exchange volumes for Forex, so the indicator works with ticks per bar — a proxy for activity.
Works great on:
-
Futures (via MT5 with CME data brokers)
-
Cryptocurrencies
-
Indices (US500, NAS100, DE40)
Works approximately on:
-
Forex — direction and profile shape are correct, absolute values are conditional
The indicator is an analysis tool, not a trading system. All trading decisions are made by the trader.
