Rotation Factor for TPO and OHLC (Plot)The Rotation Factor objectively measures attempted market direction(or market sentiment) for a given period. It records the cumulative directional attempts of auction rotations within a given period, thus, helping traders determine which way the market is trying to go and which market participant is exerting greater control or influence.
Theory
The premise is that a greater number of bars auctioning higher contrasted to bars auctioning lower indicates that buyers are exerting greater control over price within the given period(usually daily). In this case, the market is attempting to go higher (Market is Bullish). The same is true for a greater number of bars auctioning lower than higher, which, in this case, indicates that the sellers are exerting greater control over price within the given period and that the market is attempting to go lower (Market is Bearish).
Calculation
Each bar is individually measured in relation to the immediate previous bar, and calculations are reset at the beginning of each period.
For every bar, two variables are utilised: One for the highs and another for the lows. During bar start, these variables are initiated at 0.
As the period progresses, these variables are set accordingly: If the high of the current bar is higher than that of the previous bar, then the bar's highs variable is assigned a "+1". If the opposite is true, it is given a "-1". Finally, if both bar highs are equal, it is, instead, assigned a "0". The same is true for the lows: if the low of the current bar is higher than that of the previous low, then the bar's lows variable is assigned a "+1". Similarly, the opposite is given a "-1", while equal lows causes it to be assigned a "0". All highs and lows are then summed together resulting to a total, which becomes the Rotational Factor.
Presentation
Furthermore, this Rotation Factor Indicator is presented as a plot, which, unlike its classic variation, shows you how the rotation factor is developing. It also includes lines indicating the Top Rotation Factor and the Bottom Rotation Factor individually, the better to observe the developing auction.
Link to the Classic Variation:
Features
1. Customisable Tick Size/Granularity : The calculation tick size/ granularity is customisable which can be accessed through the indicator settings.
2. Customisable Labels and Lines : The colour and sizes used by the labels and lines are customisable the better for accessibility.
3. Period Separator : A separator is rendered to represent period borders (start and end). If separators are already present on your chart, you can remove them from the indicator settings.
4. Individual Top Rotation Factor and Bottom Rotation Factor plots : These two parts which becomes of the Rotation Factor are also presented individually, on their own plots, the better to observe the developing auction.
Works for both split Market Profile(TPO) charts and regular OHLC bars/candle charts
The Rotation Factor is usually used with a Split Market Profile (TPO). However, if no such tool is available, you will still be able to benefit from the Rotation Factor as the price ranges of Split Market Profiles and OHLC bars/candles are one and the same. In such cases, it is recommended that you set your chart to use a 30 minute timeframe and the indicator's period to "daily" to simulate a Split Market Profile.
Note :
The Rotation Factor is, to quote, "by no means not an all-conclusive indication of future market direction.". It only helps determine which way the market is trying to go by objectively measuring the market's directional attempts.

Historic Volume/Market ProfilesHistoric Volume/Market Profile is a Periodic Volume Profile with all of the improvements known in the original Volume/Market Profile.
VMP is a 2 in 1 Volume and Market Profile Indicator.
HVMP uses the base of VMP to offer a quick and simple view at multiple historic profiles at the same time.
This includes:
Cluster Identification for High Volume and Low Volume Areas.
Maximizing granularity by utilizing boxes and lines to get up to 1000 rows.
New Inclusions in HVMP vs VMP:
HVMP granularity is determined by the # of profiles on display. By doing this, each profile will get an even amount of allocated rows to use and granularity is scaled per-profile, to fit within the row allowance.
For Example: 1000/(# of profiles) = Maximum # of rows per profile.
HVMP introduces the "Auto-Scale" Option (on by Default), this automatically fits each profile within the defined timeframe period to provide a consistent display when switching timeframes.
Even with "Auto-Scale" enabled, "Display Size" dictates which direction the profile is displayed.
Below is a Negative Display Size (Displays from right to left, starting at the end of the period)
Below is a Positive Display Size (Displays from left to right, starting at the beginning of the period)
HVMP is only for historical data, you can get a live profile with the same Node Identification using VMP (Volume Market/Profile). The indicator that this one is based on.

Volume/Market ProfileVolume/Market Profile is a 2 in 1 Volume Profile and Market Profile Indicator.
This indicator is my own calculations for compiling a volume profile and market profile.
The profile is progressively calculated live as the chart develops.
I have made use of both Boxes AND Lines to allow me to display a finer granularity profile by displaying up to twice the max amount of lines allowed in tradingview.
I have spent a lot of time to make sure the values are getting appended exactly as intended so that I can assure this profile is operating as precisely as possible within the limitations of the data available.
To make my calculations easier to use in other places, I have made my volume profile a function that can be extracted and used whenever you need values from a volume profile.
Feel free to read through the script if you don't understand how this profile is developed. I have made a commentary of my volume profile function to help you understand what exactly happens to compile the profiles.
As mentioned before, This indicator doubles as a market profile. To view both at the same time you will need to add the indicator on your chart twice.
I have built in comprehensive customizations to allow you to display your profiles however fits your needs.
Timeframe: The aggregation period for profiles, to see a 1 week profile, change the timeframe to 1 week.
Note: You can add custom timeframes by adding a custom timeframe in your chart timeframe dropdown menu. When you add timeframes in this area, they appear as options within indicators with the timeframe input.
Sensitivity: Allows for greater or less granularity changes. The calculation method for granularity automatically changes depending on the range of your chart.
Note: Multiply this value by 100 and that will be the max range (in ticks) of your price before the indicator automatically adjusts to make the profile less granular. (ex. If price ranges $1, and 1 tick is $0.01, granularity will be 0.01 with a sensitivity of 1+)
Value Area %: % of total volume to display as the value zone. (_% of total profile values are contained within the value zone)
Calculate as Market Profile: Uses a 1 Instead of the candle volume, to display a Market Profile. (If selected POC -> TPOC)
Display Size: Sets the # of bars from the profile axis to the profile's max value. If set negative, profile will be displayed left of axis, if positive, profile will be displayed to the right of the axis.
Display Offset: Sets the # of bars in front(or behind) the current chart bar to set the axis of the profile. If negative, the axis will be to the left of the current chart bar, if positive the axis will be right of the current chart bar.
Display Historical POC/VAH/VAL: Choose to display historical poc,vah,val lines.
Colors: I'm not explaining colors.
Enjoy!
SpaceTime TPOSpaceTime TPO Part of the SpaceTime Complete Suite
SpaceTime TPO Provides an modified codebased to remastered to display the TPO Calculations in a separate indicator with multiple new features, a separate release was necessary in order to maximise the usage of the draw history that can be provided.
Significantly improved from its predecessor Spacetime advanced, the display options used here are less resource heavy and therefore can display multiple profiles in comparison to the previous "high res lettering"
Full suite view:
The main additional advantage of this separate indicator comes in the form of Split TPO profiles ! This utilizes the tradingview display engine creating a whole new way to display data comparative to the candlestick method, doing so will help visualise the profile as it develops.
The Split profiles comes with a pro and con
Pro:
Split profile makes it easier to detect real price movement adjusted to tick
Also tracks the VA travel by history so it is easier to visualise value expansion!
Con:
Due to some limitation some data may occasionally be missed on very volatile candles
Fix:
Increase ticksize/Leave on wicks for candles to see these fluctuations
Update fix inbound: Will display the overflow in a dynamic way so no wicks are needed for all candles if this persists to be a problem
SpaceTime TPO also comes with the same advantages of multi session profile TPOs
Additionally comes with the ability to have a session line
Session Line tracking can continue with "Total" For full length of profile
And
"VA" for Value Area tracking
(or off)
Close tracking in the form of a square is available

Zeta Volume Profile ProWhat is Volume Profile?
Volume Profile is an advanced order flow analysis which displays volume distribution at various price points over time. It may be called a recent biodata of a stock which is displayed on a chart as a horizontal histogram. Volume Profile can help reveal significant price levels where smart money is sitting.
Why Volume Profile is important?
The life of a Future Contract is of maximum 3 months. All the near month contracts expire on the last Thursday of the respective month. But, the traders who want to continue holding on to their winning positions would likely take the same position in the next series. So they often close the existing position near the expiry and take position in the next series. This activity is termed as Rolling Over the position and mostly it catches strength about 5-6 days before the expiry.
If we start tracking Volume Profile 5-6 days before the monthly expiry, we get to know the levels where maximum concentration of volume is located. In layman terms, we want to see where the biggest crowd is sitting. In this crowd, there will be equal number of buyers and sellers and when either party starts feeling the heat (market goes against them), they try to limit their loss by Buying/Selling and the random walks become a unidirectional march.
Zeta Volume Profile Pro tries to detect this crowd behavior by tracking maximum volume concentration area and when price leaves this area, it generates Buy/Sell Signals.
What is unique about Zeta Volume Profile Pro?
There are other volume profile indicators also in the market but Zeta Volume Profile Pro is unique in following aspects:
1. Whenever last Thursday of any month starts, Zeta Volume Profile Pro resets automatically and starts calculating volume and price levels from 30 bars backwards (default value which the user can change). Assuming we are looking at 30 Min. Time-Frame chart and your Stock Exchange opens for 6 hours a day, the last 30 candles cover 5 days data. If in your time zone, stock exchange remains open for longer hours, you can either increase minimum number of bars to be considered or you may increase your time-frame. The idea is you should cover 5-6 days of data on last Thursday of the month.
2. Once you set the minimum number of bars and time-frame relevant to you, leave everything to Zeta Volume Profile Pro. Now with every passing tick, the volume profile created by Zeta Volume Profile Pro will keep changing and more and more price bars will keep adding to the minimum number of bars set by you till last Wednesday of the current month occurs.
3. On any given day or time, whenever price breaks out of maximum volume concentration area, the indicator generates a Buy/Sell Signal and often such breakouts give handsome returns.
What markets it is suitable for?
It can be used in any time-zone on any stock exchange. However, since the concept is based upon Volume Concentration, it works best on highly liquid stocks, commodities, currency pairs and indices.
It will not give good results if the underlying security is illiquid because volume profile generated will not be efficient one.
Since Future Contracts volume tends to be more than cash segment, it gives much better results on Futures Charts.
Which time frames are best for this indicator?
Choose such time-frame and minimum number of bars which are equivalent to 5-6 trading sessions in your time-zone. In settings, there is an option to set your time-zone.
How to Take Buy/Sell Entry with Zeta Volume Profile Pro?
Whenever you see a Buy Signal appearing on your chart, take Buy Entry and whenever you see a Sell Signal, take Sell side Entry.
Your STOP LOSS would be high or low of candle which occurs just before the Buy/Sell Signal respectively.
Keep moving your STOP LOSS up as the price moves in your favor and when market turns around and you see a SELL signal, it is time to book your BUY position profit and take Entry on SELL Side now and so on.
What are the limitations of this indicator?
Sometimes price takes a break out of maximum volume concentration area and then again comes back which might hit your stop loss. However, as the backtested data shows, having faith in the indicator will give you some so nice breakouts that a single trade will cover your 10 to 20 Stop Loss hits.
