Volume Profile (visible range)

The visible range volume profile (VRVP) shows, on the right of the chart, the volume traded at each price for the bars currently on screen. It updates as you scroll and zoom, and highlights the point of control and the 70% value area.

What it's for
  • See where the volume traded across the bars currently on screen.
  • Find the point of control and the value area of the period you are looking at.

How to read it

Visible range volume profile with its point of control inside a former balance area
The profile of the visible bars: most volume traded in the balance area of April–June, where the point of control sits.
  • POC: the price with the most volume; a reference that price often returns to.
  • Value area (70%): the range of accepted prices; its edges (VAH, VAL) act as support and resistance.
  • High-volume nodes slow price down (agreement on value); low-volume nodes are crossed quickly.

The calculation is the same as the fixed range volume profile: each bar's volume is spread over the rows its range covers, and the value area grows from the POC by pairs of rows. Green and red split the volume by candle direction, not by buyer or seller initiative.

Limits

The profile depends on what is on screen: zoom or scroll and it changes. For a profile of a specific period (a range, a trend leg), use the fixed range tool instead.

Charts in this guide use simulated prices generated for illustration; levels and outcomes shown are examples, not observations of a real market. Educational content only, not investment advice.
