Volume Profile — Custom Range, Interactive
Volume tells the truth that price alone cannot. Where price has been is visible to everyone — but where the market has genuinely committed, where real money changed hands in volume, is what determines the strength of every support, resistance, and reaction zone on the chart.
Volume Profile — Custom Range, Interactive by DGT puts that insight directly in your hands, letting you define exactly which period you want to analyze and building a precise, multi-layered volume map for that range.
Fully Interactive Range Selection
Two anchor points — placed directly on the chart — define the exact period for analysis. The profile recalculates instantly as the range changes. An extend mode keeps the calculation live, continuously updating from the start anchor to the latest bar as new price data arrives. This makes the tool equally useful for historical analysis and real-time session profiling.
Common Interest Profile
The volume profile distributes total traded volume across every price level within the selected range, revealing where the market spent time and where it moved through quickly. Two display modes give flexibility — Total mode shows combined volume at each level, while Up/Down mode splits it into bullish and bearish contributions, making accumulation and distribution patterns immediately visible.
Profile rows outside the Value Area are displayed in a neutral color, while rows inside the Value Area are highlighted to distinguish high-conviction price zones from peripheral activity.
Bull & Bear Dominance
Sitting alongside the main profile, the dominance overlay shows the net balance of buying versus selling pressure at each price level. Green rows indicate levels where buyers were in control. Red rows indicate seller dominance. Narrow rows reveal balanced, contested zones — often the most significant for anticipating future price reaction.
Value Area & Point of Control
Three key structural levels are automatically derived from the profile and plotted as horizontal lines — the Point of Control marking the highest-volume price, and the Value Area High and Low defining the range containing the configured percentage of total traded volume, defaulting to the conventional 68% threshold.
Each line can be extended independently beyond the profile range, allowing POC, VAH, and VAL to serve as forward-looking reference levels as price evolves.
An optional Value Area background fill and profile range background give additional visual clarity when analyzing complex chart structures.
Supply & Demand Zones
Low-volume price levels — where little trading activity occurred within the selected range — are automatically highlighted as potential supply and demand zones. These thin areas represent price gaps in market structure where price has historically moved quickly, and where strong reactions are likely on revisit. A sensitivity threshold gives full control over how aggressively zones are identified.
Volume-Weighted Bar Coloring
Price bars are colored based on their volume relative to the moving average baseline — dark green and dark red for high-participation bars, aqua and orange for low-participation bars — providing immediate visual confirmation of whether price movement is backed by conviction or occurring on thin, unconfirmed volume.
Profile Metrics & Customization
Number of rows, profile width, placement (left or right of the range), and all color settings are fully configurable — allowing the profile to integrate cleanly into any chart style without cluttering the price action.
