Volume Profile Nodes

Volume-by-price tools that show where business actually got done: Point of Control, value areas, developing value, and the unfinished levels price tends to revisit. Built on OHLCV volume, available for every supported symbol.

Node families

Volume Profile

Builds the histogram of traded volume by price for a session or period, and surfaces the Point of Control (POC) and the Value Area (VAH/VAL) where most activity occurred.

POC · VAH · VAL

Developing Value

Tracks POC and the value area as they evolve through the current session, drawn as a developing line so you can see where value is building in real time.

developing POC / VA

Value-Area Migration

Compares value areas across sessions to classify inside/outside days and flag when value migrates up or down, a Dalton-style read on market acceptance.

VA migration

Profile Shape

Classifies the session profile (D-shape, P, b, double-distribution, thin) so a strategy can react to balance vs imbalance.

D / P / b / double / thin

Naked POC (coming later)

Not available at launch. Will find prior POCs that price has not yet returned to (common magnets for future price) and track tag / reject / accept events.

How it's drawn

Volume Profile nodes render the actual histogram plus the POC and value-area levels. Prior sessions show locked levels; the current session shows developing value that updates bar by bar, so the chart reads the way a profile trader would draw it, not as a moving average.

Session-aware

Profiles are scoped to a session or period rather than smeared across the whole series, so value areas mean what they should.

Trigger on the settled profile

Shape and migration signals fire on the completed period's settled profile, not on every intrabar tick, for fewer false reads.

POC vs naked POC. The POC is the most-traded price of a profile; a naked POC is a prior POC price hasn’t revisited yet, often a target. Naked-POC nodes are not available at launch; the POC and value-area nodes are.
