Fixed Range Volume Profile Guide

Master this indicator with Pine Script code and automated strategies.

What is Fixed Range Volume Profile?

Volume Profile shows trading activity at specific price levels over a chosen time range. High volume nodes (HVN) act as support/resistance areas where significant trading occurred. Low volume nodes (LVN) often see price move quickly through them.

How to Use This Strategy

Pro Tip: Look for breakouts accompanied by 2x+ average volume. High volume confirms the move is backed by institutional participation. Volume without price movement suggests accumulation/distribution.

//@version=5
indicator("Volume Breakout Detector", overlay=true)

// Inputs
volLength = input.int(20, "Volume MA Length")
volMultiplier = input.float(2.0, "Volume Multiplier")
priceChangeThreshold = input.float(2.0, "Price Change %")

// Calculate volume metrics
avgVolume = ta.sma(volume, volLength)
volumeRatio = volume / avgVolume
highVolume = volume > avgVolume * volMultiplier

// Calculate price change
priceChange = (close - close[1]) / close[1] * 100

// Breakout conditions
bullishBreakout = highVolume and priceChange > priceChangeThreshold
bearishBreakout = highVolume and priceChange < -priceChangeThreshold
