What does the Volume Profile indicator measure?
Measures the acceptance or rejection of the price. It identifies the POC (Point of Control), which is the level where the highest volume was traded, and the Value Areas (VA), where 70% of the total volume of the session was traded.
How to use it for Institutional Trading
- High Volume Nodes (HVN): They act as magnets and support/resistance zones where the price usually consolidates.
- Low Volume Nodes (LVN): They represent institutional rejection zones where the price moves quickly (ideal entry points).
- Session Analysis vs. Composite: S4T allows you to compare the current day's profile with a multi-month composite profile to identify long-term structural levels.
Why is it superior to other indicators?
The S4T rendering engine allows you to display high-resolution volume profiles without degrading CPU performance. In addition, it includes the "Developing POC" function, which shows how the control point moves in real time during the session, allowing you to anticipate trend changes.
