AI Volume Profile

Overview

The AI Volume Profile is a specialized institutional tool that provides a butterfly style visualization of volume distribution across price levels. Unlike traditional volume profiles, this feature identifies key volume nodes and market imbalances by analyzing buy and sell pressure independently. By visualizing how volume is distributed horizontally, traders can pinpoint exact price levels where institutional interest is highest and where significant order flow is concentrated.

This tool displays two distinct "wings" to offer a comprehensive market view:

  • Volume Wing (Right Side): Shows total volume distribution by price level to identify high activity zones.

  • Delta Wing (Left Side): Visualizes the net difference between buying and selling pressure at each price level.

Settings

Users can configure the AI Volume Profile to prioritize either recent price action or long term structural volume nodes.

Best Practices & Usage

  • Identify High Volume Nodes (HVN): Focus on price levels where the Volume Wing is widest. These areas represent prices where the most trading has occurred and often act as strong support or resistance.

  • Spot Institutional Imbalances: Use the Delta Wing to find levels with extreme bullish or bearish net volume. A large bullish delta wing at a specific price suggests strong institutional accumulation.

  • Monitor Key Level Transitions: Use the AI Key Levels markers to identify structural shifts in the market. When price breaks through a cluster of key levels, it often signals the start of a new impulse move.

  • Adjust for Trading Strategy:

    • Day Traders: Use a shorter Lookback Period (20 to 100 bars) to focus on intraday volume distribution and current session high volume nodes.

    • Swing Traders: Use a longer Lookback Period (200 to 500 bars) to identify major historical supply and demand zones.

  • Confluence with Price Action: The most reliable signals occur when the price reaches a high volume node that also contains a significant delta imbalance. Use these areas to time entries where the "masses" are most active.
