Limit

Volume profiles & Fixed ranges 🧵

...learn this before using ↓ Volume profile components

There are 3 main components to a volume profile :

Point of control (POC) - price where most volume was transacted in the range.

Value area low (VAL) - 34% of the volume in the range below the POC.

Value area high (VAH) - 34% of the volume in the range above the POC.

Settings to have include the VA% - standard 68% yet 70% is also a good value.

Using ticks per row as the layout and row size 148 is what I've found to work best on all sizes of profiles.

... here they are demonstrated ↓
