Tradingview vs Exo
Tradingview's Fixed range tool and Exo charts dynamic profile tool are quite different.
Exocharts dynamic profile tool has more capabilities.
TV's fixed range tool simply provides you with volume data whereas Exo can provide:
OI data
Buys vs Sells
& more
My settings:
I prefer to use the OI cluster type within my dynamic profile tool.
Typically im only using this to find where NEW positions have been opening rather than ones that have closed out.
Trending moves:
OI/new position spikes in trending moves can be extremely useful in determining trend strength/weakness
If we have a bullish trending move and can decipher where the most longs are opening within that trend, we can then use that as a strong reference point.
Info box:
This info table can provide some extremely useful statistics in particular the following 2:
- Net change in OI (Open Interest)
- CVD
With a single dynamic profile pull, you can know what the majority are siding towards through those 2 figures.
+ CVD w + OI = New Longs
+ CVD w - OI = Shorts Closing
- CVD w + OI = New Shorts
- CVD w - OI = Longs Closing
The visual profile tells me at which price point those majorities are coming in, to use as key s/r levels
Ranges:
Now you know where the majority are sided you can anticipate potential fakeouts of a range based on this data
ie - if we have a build-up of new longs within a range a possible move down to stop them out before moving up would be my preferred scenario.
Further tip:
text type - my preferred is short vs long (new)
I use this tool to mainly identify key s/r levels within a certain trend or recognize what the majority are sided towards within a range.
To use this tool to its fullest you must know how to pull a regular fixed-range tool

footprint charts are a cleaner visual of the time & sales data.
it places buy/sell info on a per cluster basis, inside the candle.
doing this allows for easier identification of high volume/delta zones, absorption & trapped traders.
tick sizes:
inside the footprint, the cluster is divided into price blocks. Changing the tick size changes the granularity of these price blocks within each cluster.
larger tick size for increased volatility, lower the tick size when less volatile.
I tend to treat it as a mini "monday range" but for intra-day purposes.
It's initial break of range can be a good indication as for the rest of days direction, similar to monday range.
Break one side of the range and it protects the other side of it.
example โ
London (06-12)
my favourite session to gain a bias off.
1 - london puts in the daily high/low
2 - price moves against it (running stops)
3 - buy where people exit the market
4 - target london pivot being taken out
