Volume Profile [TFO]This indicator generates Volume Profiles from which to display insights about recent Volume Points of Control and High Volume Nodes. Volume Profile is a way to view trading volume by the price where trades have occurred, rather than the time when they occur (as seen by traditional Volume indicators).
By selecting a Resolution Timeframe (1m in this example), we can aggregate the volume at different prices to build a Volume Profile for a specified Profile Timeframe (1D in this example). In this indicator, we make the simple assumption that a given candle's volume is distributed evenly across all points. Realistically, this is seldom the case, but it gives us a starting point to easily estimate the volume at a given price, in turn helping us to build our profiles in a trivial way.
If we do this for all Resolution Timeframe candles within a Profile Timeframe (all 1m candles in a single 1D candle, in this example), then we can successfully aggregate this data and build a full Volume Profile. And thankfully, Pine Script's new polyline feature ultimately allow us to keep more Volume Profiles on our charts. Before polylines, we would have to consider using lines or boxes to represent the individual levels within a given profile, and each script currently has a cap of 500 lines and boxes, respectively. However, one single polyline can be used to draw the complex shape of an entire profile, and we may show up to 100 polylines in a given script. This helps us keep a lot more data on our charts!
Compared to TradingView's Session Volume Profile indicator (blue/yellow), we can see that our indicator (grey) is nearly identical, which verifies that our assumption of a uniform volume distribution is enough to roughly estimate a given Volume Profile. Note in this example the Row Size was set to 200, meaning that 200 levels are used to approximate profiles from each session's high to its low.
Show VPOC will show the volume point of control of each profile, which represents the price level where the largest amount of volume was traded for a given profile. This is shown with the red lines in the following chart.
Extend Last N VPOCs will look for the most recent, user-defined number of VPOCs (not including the current session's VPOC that's still developing) and extend them to the right of the chart as points of reference. The Show Labels Above option will annotate each VPOC with its respective date above a specified timeframe. This way, if one was using Volume Profiles on intraday timeframes, there wouldn't need to be several date strings all showing the same day.
Show Previous HVNs will show high volume nodes from the previous session. The HVN Strength setting is similar to a "pivot strength" that I use in a lot of my scripts - essentially, HVNs are validated by treating them as local highs. With a HVN Strength of 10 for example, if a given level contains more volume than the 10 levels above and below it, then it is validated as a HVN.
For a cleaner look and feel, HVNs can instead be shown as levels (lines) instead of areas (boxes). With levels enabled, solid lines denote the previous session's VPOC, and dotted lines represent all other HVNs. With areas enabled instead, the tops and bottoms will extend above/below the HVN level until a point with greater volume is discovered (marking the "end" of the node).
This indicator can be computationally intensive and may crash from taking too long to execute. In these cases, it's best to disable unused features, decrease the number of Rows, and/or simply reload the chart until it populates.
Vpoc
Spoofing Detector with VPOC [CHE]"We're keeping an eye on the market makers, zooming in for a closer look."
Spoofing and Volume Point of Control (VPOC) are terms used in the context of market manipulation and market analysis in financial markets.
A spoofing detector is a tool developed to detect the spoofing of orders. Spoofing refers to a practice where a market participant places large orders to deceive other market participants and influence the price of a stock. These large orders, however, are not executed but cancelled shortly after, creating a false demand for a specific stock and influencing the price. A spoofing detector can use algorithms to detect and report these practices to maintain the integrity of the market.
The Volume Point of Control (VPOC) is a concept in technical analysis aimed at identifying the key price level at which a stock was bought and sold. VPOC is calculated by analyzing the volume data of a stock and determining the price level at which the largest volume was traded for a specific period. This price level can serve as an indicator of the current market trend and market interest in a specific stock.
There is a substantive connection between a spoofing detector and VPOC because both tools can be used to gain a better understanding of the stock markets and detect potential forms of market manipulation. For example, VPOC can be used as an indicator of potential market manipulation when an abnormal distribution of trading volume is observed at a specific price level. A spoofing detector can then be used to detect and report these activities.
Pine Script Indicator Analysis:
This is a Pine Script code for a spoofing detector and volume point of control (VPOC) indicator. The purpose of the indicator is to detect and highlight potential spoofing activities in the market, as well as to plot the volume point of control on the chart.
Inputs:
Median Lookback: This input defines the length of the median calculation, with a default value of 25.
Range To Edges Threshold: This input sets a threshold value for the range to edges calculation, with a default value of 200.
Multiplier 1: This input sets a multiplier value to be used in the average true range calculation, with a default value of 0.8.
Multipler 2: This input sets a multiplier value to be used in the average true range calculation, with a default value of 2.0.
Multipler 3: This input sets a multiplier value to be used in the average true range calculation, with a default value of 3.0.
Variables:
y, x, ds, os: These are arrays and a variable used for the first part of the spoofing detection process.
y1, x1, ds1, os1: These are arrays and a variable used for the second part of the spoofing detection process.
y2, x2, ds2, os2: These are arrays and a variable used for the third part of the spoofing detection process.
Calculation:
The code starts by defining some variables, such as the bar index (n), the close price (src), and the average true range (atr) with different multipliers.
Next, the median of the close price is calculated over the lookback period specified by the "Median Lookback" input.
Then, the difference between the current median and the previous median is calculated, and the value is compared with the average true range with different multipliers to determine the state of the market (up, down, or unchanged).
The code then checks if the state has changed from the previous bar, and if so, the code performs a spoofing detection calculation.
The spoofing detection calculation involves determining the range between the first and last bar in the median calculation, and dividing it by the sum of the absolute differences calculated earlier. If the result is below the "Range To Edges Threshold" input, the code plots a line and a label on the chart indicating a potential spoofing activity.
The process is repeated for each of the three parts of the spoofing detection process.
VPOC:
The VPOC code is used to calculate the Volume Point of Control (VPOC) on a chart. The VPOC is the price level with the highest volume over a specified lookback period. The script contains several functions and inputs that allow the user to customize the calculation.
Inputs:
i_source: This input allows the user to specify the source for the VPOC price calculation. The options are the close price of the bar.
i_vpocThreshold: This input allows the user to set the threshold percentage for the VPOC highlight.
Functions:
timeStep_translate(): This function returns a string representing the time step of the lower time frame based on the current time frame of the chart.
ltfStats(): This function returns an array of the source and volume of the lower time frame.
ltfSrc, ltfVolume: This line requests the lower time frame data using the request.security_lower_tf function, with the lower time frame step calculated by the timeStep_translate() function.
maxVolume and indexOfMaxVolume: These variables store the maximum volume value and its corresponding index in the ltfVolume array.
maxVol: This variable stores the source value corresponding to the maximum volume.
vpocThresholdMet: This variable is a boolean that is true when the volume at the maximum volume price level is greater than or equal to the threshold percentage of the total volume.
vpocColor: This variable stores the color for the VPOC plot.
vh: This variable stores the highest volume in the lookback period.
plotshape(): This function plots the VPOC on the chart. The shape will be plotted only if the volume is greater than the specified threshold percentage of the highest volume in the lookback period. The shape will be labeled with the text "VC".
Overall, this script calculates the VPOC for a chart by aggregating volume data from a lower time frame and plotting a shape at the price level with the highest volume. The user can specify the source for the VPOC calculation and the threshold percentage for the VPOC highlight.
Important: VPOC shows everything in real time as a leading indicator, the triple spoofing detector is trailing

Volume and vPOC InsightsThe vPOC or volume point of control shows where most of the volume was traded. This is important because this is where the institutions and market makers have opened their positions, and these are the ones that move the markets!
This indicator is designed to cut through the volume noise, and enable the hiding of lower volume data.
The main setting allows you to define a lookback, and obscure the candles whose volume is less than x % of the highest volume in this lookback.
Of the remaining candles, their vPOC will be displayed. There are extra settings to extend naked vPOCs, as well as the highs and lows of these high volume candles, plus an EMA based on the vPOC price levels.
I must credit quantifytools @quantifytools who allowed me to utilize his code, for finding vPOCs using lower timeframe candles - there are comments in the code also. It works perfectly so why reinvent the wheel?
Time & volume point of control / quantifytoolsWhat are TPOC & VPOC?
TPOC (time point of control) and VPOC (volume point of control) are points in price where highest amount of time/volume was traded. This is considered key information in a market profile, as it shows where market participant interest was highest. Unlike full fledged market profile that shows total time/volume distribution, this script shows the points of control for each candle, plotted with a line (time) and a dot (volume). The script hides your candles/bars by default and forms a line in the middle representing candle range. In case of candles, borders will still be visible. This feature can be turned off in the settings.
Volume and time data are fetched from a lower timeframe that is automatically adjusted to fit the timeframe you're using. By default, the following settings are applied:
Charts <= 30 min: 1 minute timeframe
Charts > 30 min & <= 3 hours : 5 minute timeframe
Charts > 3 hours & <= 8 hours : 15 minute timeframe
Charts > 8 hours & <= 1D: 1 hour timeframe
Charts > 1D & <= 3D : 2 hour timeframe
Charts > 3D: 4 hour timeframe
Timeframe settings can be changed via input menu. The lower the timeframe, the more precision you get but with the cost of less historical data and slower loading time. Users can also choose which source to use for determining price for points of control, e.g. using close as source, the point of control is set to match the value of lower timeframe candle close. This could be replaced with OHLC4 for example, resulting in a point of control based on OHLC average.
To identify more profound points of market participant interest, TPOC & VPOC as percentage of total time/volume thresholds can be set via input menu. When a point of control is equal to or greater than the set percentage threshold, visual elements will be highlighted in a different color, e.g. 50% VPOC threshold will activate a highlight whenever volume traded at VPOC is equal to or greater than 50% of total volume. All colors are customizable.
VPOC is defined by fetching lower timeframe candle with the most amount of volume traded and using its close (by default) as a mark for point of control. For TPOC, each candle is divided into 10 lots which are used for calculating amount of closes taking place within the bracket values. The lot with highest amount of closes will be considered a point of control. This mark is displayed in the middle point of a lot:
How to utilize TPOC & VPOC
Example #1: Trapped market participants
One or both points of control at one end of candle range (wick tail) and candle close at the other end serves as an indication of market participants trapped in an awkward position. When price runs away further from these trapped participants, they are eventually forced to cover and drive price even further to the opposite direction:
Example #2: Trend initiation
A large move that leaves TPOC behind while VPOC is supportive serves as an indication of a trend initiation. Essentially, this is one way to identify an event where price traded sideways most of the time and suddenly moved away with volume:
Example #3: POC supported trend
A trend is healthy when it's supported by a point of control. Ideally you want to see either time or volume supporting a trend:
VPoC per barThis study prints the current bar VPoC as an horizontal line.
It's aimed originally at BTCUSDT pair and 15m timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS
Zoom In mode: This is the default mode.
The study zooms in into the latest 15 1-minute bar candles in order to calculate the 15 minute candle VPoC.
Zoom Out mode: The VPoC from the last n bars from the current timeframe that match desired timeframe is shown on each bar.
In either case you are recommended to click on the '...' button associated to this study
and select 'Visual Order. Bring to Front.' so that it's properly shown in your chart.
HOW IT WORKS - Zoom In mode
Make sure that '(VP) Zoom into the VP timeframe' setting is set to true.
Choose the zoomed in timeframe where to calculate VPoC from thanks to the '(VP) Zoomed timeframe {1 minute}' setting.
Change '(VP) Zoomed in timeframe bars per current timeframe bar {15}' to its appropiated value. You just need to divide the current timeframe minutes per the zoomed in timeframe minutes per bar. E.g. If you are in 60 minute timeframe and you want to zoom in into 5 minute timeframe: 60 / 5 = 12 . You will write 12 here.
HOW IT WORKS - Zoom Out mode
Make sure that '(VP) Zoom into the VP timeframe' setting is set to false.
If you are using the Zoom out mode you might want to set '(VP) Print VPoC price as discrete lines {True}' to false.
Either choose the zoommed out timeframe where to calculate VPoC from thanks to the '(VP) Zoomed timeframe {1 minute}' setting or turn on the '(VP) Use number of bars (not VP timeframe)' setting in order to use '(VP) Number of bars {100}' as a custom number of bars.
WARNING - Zoom In mode last bar
The way that PineScript handles security function in last bar might result on the last bar not being accurate enough.

STRATEGY DEFAULT SETTINGS EXPLANATION
max_bars_back=5000 : This is a random number of bars so that the strategy test lasts for one or two years
calc_on_order_fills=false : To wait for the 4h closing is too much. Try to check if it's worth entering a position after closing one. I finally decided not to recheck if it's worth entering after an order is closed. So it is false.
calc_on_every_tick=false
pyramiding=0 : We only want one entry allowed in the same direction. And we don't want the order to scale by error.
initial_capital=1000 : These are 1000 USDT. By using 1% maximum loss per trade and 7% as a default stop loss by using 1000 USDT at 12000 USDT per BTC price you would entry with around 142 USDT which are converted into: 0.010 BTC . The maximum number of decimal for contracts on this BTCUSDT market is 3 decimals. E.g. the minimum might be: 0.001 BTC . So, this minimal 1000 amount ensures us not to entry with less than 0.001 entries which might have happened when using 100 USDT as an initial capital.
slippage=1 : Binance BTCUSDT mintick is: 0.01. Binance slippage: 0.1 % (Let's assume). TV has an integer slippage. It does not have a percentage based slippage. If we assume a 1000 initial capital, the recommended equity is 142 which at 11996 USDT per BTC price means: 0.011 BTC. The 0.1% slippage of: 0.011 BTC would be: 0.000011 . This is way smaller than the mintick. So our slippage is going to be 1. E.g. 1 (slippage) * 0.01 (mintick)

BACKGROUND
Jaime Merino is a well known Youtuber focused on crypto trading
His channel TradingLatino
features monday to friday videos where he explains his strategy.
JAIME MERINO STANCE ON BOTS
Jaime Merino stance on bots (taken from memory out of a 2020 June video from him):
'~
You know. They can program you a bot and it might work.
But, there are some special situations that the bot would not be able to handle.
And, I, as a human, I would handle it. And the bot wouldn't do it.
~'
My long term target with this strategy script is add as many
special situations as I can to the script
so that it can match Jaime Merino behaviour even in non normal circumstances.
My alternate target is learn Pine script
and enjoy programming with it.
WARNING
This script might be bigger than other TradingView scripts.
However, please, do not be confused because the current status is beta.
This script has not been tested with real money.
This is NOT an official strategy from Jaime Merino.

to make its buy and sell decisions.
Fast paced EMA being bigger than slow paced EMA
(on higher timeframe) advices going long.
Fast paced EMA being smaller than slow paced EMA
(on higher timeframe) advices going short.

HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGY
BOT MODE: This is the default setting.
PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING: Click on this strategy settings. Properties tab. Make sure Recalculate 'each time the order was run' is turned off.
NEWBIE USER: (Check PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING above!) You might want to turn on the 'Print recent profile {False}' setting. Alternatively you can use my alternate realtime study: 'Resistances and supports based on simplified Volume Profile' but, be aware, it might consume one indicator.
ADVANCED USER 1: Turn on the 'Print price is in range {False}' setting and help us to debug this subindicator. Also help us to figure out how to include this value in the strategy.
ADVANCED USER 2: Turn on the all the (SQZDIVER) settings and help us to figure out how to include this value in the strategy.
ADVANCED USER 3: (Check PROPER VOLUME PROFILE VIEWING above!) Turn on the 'Print recent profile {False}' setting and report any problem with it.
JAIME MERINO: Just use the indicator as it comes by default. It should only show BUY signals, SELL signals and their associated closing signals. From time to time you might want to check 'ADVANCED USER 2' instructions to check that there's actually a divergence. Check also 'ADVANCED USER 1' instructions for your amusement.

FEEDBACK
Please check the strategy source code for more detailed information
where, among others, I explain all of the substrats
and if they are implemented or not.
Q1. Did I understand wrong any of the Jaime substrats (which I have implemented)?
Q2. The strategy yields quite profit when we should long (EMA10 from 1d timeframe is higher than EMA55 from 1d timeframe.
Why the strategy yields much less profit when we should short (EMA10 from 1d timeframe is lower than EMA55 from 1d timeframe)?
Any idea if you need to do something else rather than just reverse what Jaime does when longing?

You might want to combine it with a paying account which enable Webhook URLs to work.
I don't know how all of this works right now so I cannot give you advice on it.
You will have to do your own research on this subject. But, be careful. Automating trades, if not done properly,
might end on you automating losses.
FAQ4. I have just found that this strategy by default gives more than 3.97% of 'maximum series of losses'. That's unacceptable according to my risk management policy.
You might want to reduce default stop loss setting from 7% to something like 5% till you are ok with the 'maximum series of losses'.
FAQ5. Where can I learn more about your work on this strategy?
Check the source code. You might find unused strategies. Either because there's not a substantial increases on earnings. Or maybe because they have not been implemented yet.
FAQ6. How much leverage is applied in this strategy?
No leverage.
FAQ7. Any difference with original Jaime Merino strategy?
Most of the times Jaime defines an stop loss at the price entry. That's not the case here. The default stop loss is 7% (but, don't be confused it only means losing 1% of your investment thanks to risk management). There's also a trailing take profit that triggers at 2% profit with a 1% trailing.
FAQ8. Why this strategy return is so small?
The strategy should be improved a lot. And, well, backtesting in this platform is not guaranteed to return theoric results comparable to real-life returns. That's why I'm personally forward testing this strategy to verify it.

Historic VPoCs and pseudo VPVRThis study tries to recreate session based historic VPoCs
and VPVR Volume Profile
as they are used by
TradingLatino TradingView user.
It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS - VPVR Profile Block
It gathers volume from the last chosen Bars
in order to draw the vpvr profile block
Volume that intersects with current level range
being studied is added to its value.
Additionally the current level price is modified
so that it matches the level price where most
of the volume has concentrated
So you get a pretty accurate price for drawn volume
while at the same time the levels are not stuck
to arbitrary level prices.
HOW IT WORKS - VPoC
It calculates a Volume Profile for the
given historic session but then
it only outputs that Volume Profile VPoC.
SETTINGS
Show VPVR Volume Profile {True}.
Show Historic VPoC lines {True}.
Show Historic VPoC labels {True}.
Extend Historic VPoC lines {True}: If this option is turned off the VPoC lines are only shown during the session duration.
Show tick difference from current price {False}: BETA. Feedback is needed because I'm not sure how it should work this setting.
VPVR Number of bars {100}: Define the Visible Range in number of bars so that its Volume Profile can be shown.
VPVR Profile width (in bars) {15}: VPVR Profile can be make larger or smaller in width thanks to this option.
VPVR Profile offset (in bars) {15}: VPVR Profile can be shown more to the left or to the right if the defaults do not suit you.
Historic Session Volume Profile timeframe {1D}: Historic VPoC use 1 day as their timeframe reference by default.
Number of decimal digits {2}: How many decimal digits are shown in label prices.
Number of previous sessions to print VPoC {5}: How many previous sessions VPoCs are to be printed. The maximum for this setting is 20.
Historic VPoC lines width (in pixels) {2}.
Historic VPoC labels size {small}.
History VPoC line offset (in bars) {5}: How far to the right VPoCs lines are to be extended. Note: This setting does not apply when 'Extend Historic VPoC lines' is set to 'False'.
WARNING
Please be aware that VPoC from the first previous session might not be accurate due to Pine Script limitations.
VPVR USAGE
This is not a VPVR like the official TradingView indicator.
This is a pseudo VPVR and that means it needs some manual input from you.
But, don't worry it's quite easy to do and if you always use the same number
of bars to calculate your VPVR then you might even just set it up once.
In order to show the VPVR (or Volume Profile on the Visible Range):
Rescale your chart so that you see all the bars for your Visible Range.
Click on the ruler tool.
Click on the last bar (far to the right) shown on the screen
Drag the ruler to first bar (far to the left) shown on the screen
Check what the ruler says
E.g. it says: 101 bars
Open this study settings
Modify: 'VPVR Number of bars ' setting
So that its value matches your measured number of bars (101)
Press OK to confirm and wait for the indicator to refresh.
STRATEGY USAGE
If your strategy uses VPoC
to define your resistances
or supports
you can check the VPoCs shown here.
FEEDBACK
I have only used this identifier in BTCUSDT 4h timeframe.
I'm interested to know what needs to be tweaked
in other securities and timeframes.
PINE STUDY TRICK
This study let's you choose the number of decimals the label will use.
CREDITS
I have reused and adapted some code from
'Poor man's volume profile' study
which it's from TradingView IldarAkhmetgaleev user.
I also wanted to thank him for helping me understanding his study.

Resistances and supports based on simplified Volume ProfileThis study tries to highlight support and resistances
as they are defined by
TradingLatino TradingView user
His definition is based on volume peaks
on the official TradingView Volume Profile
indicator that seem rather big on size.
As a bonus it also serves as a rather simple volume profile indicator.
As you can see it only show last blocks volume profile.
It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe.
HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS - Recent Profile Block
It gathers volume from the last 100 Bars
in order to draw the recent profile block
Volume that intersects with current level range
being studied is added to its value.
Additionally the current level price is modified
so that it matches the level price where most
of the volume has concentrated
So you get a pretty accurate way of the volume
while at the same time the level are not stuck
to arbitrary level prices.
HOW IT WORKS - Resistances and Supports
It calculates the level which its price it's
nearer (from below) to the current price level
Resistance is found steping up (from current prive level)
level by level
till you find a level which its value
is higher than the previous level value.
Support is found steping down (from current prive level)
level by level
till you find a level which its value
is higher than the previous level value.
That way you ignore rather small
resistances and support values.
Finally the resistances and supports are drawn next to the recent profile block
so that you can look at them with ease.
If you hover over the label you can double check if you are looking at
current price, resistance or support levels.
SETTINGS
Bars in recent profile block : How many previous period volumes are used to calculate the recent profile block
Row width multiplier : Adjust how big the recent profile block seems to be
Resistances prices number of decimal digits : How many digits is shown at the resistance and support level prices.
WARNING
Please be aware that depending on your security and timeframe you might need to modify the
'Bars in recent profile block' setting so that the study does not timeout.
USAGE
If your strategy calculates take profit
limits on higher resistances based
on volume you could use this indicator
resistance detector
FEEDBACK 1
This is my first volume indicator.
I suppose that each trader
has his own approach on defining
resistances and supports.
I'm interested on knowing if the default way
this resistances and supports are calculated
matches what other traders would have
highlighted manually on the chart.
FEEDBACK 2
I have only used this identifier in BTCUSDT 4h timeframe.
I'm interested to know what needs to be tweaked
in other securities and timeframes.
