What Is the Volume Profile Indicator?

The Volume Profile indicator is a trading tool that allows you to see the distribution of trades in a given time period at each price level. It is a great complement to your usual charting indicators and can help you spot support and resistance levels that may be missed by standard trading tools. There are many different types of volume profiles, and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on your trading style. The VPVR, or Volume Profile Visible Range, is the most basic type of volume profile and shows the volume traded at each price level automatically from your charts. Another type is the Volume Profile Fixed Range, which is similar to VPVR, but lets you set a specific range for your volume profile, and will only display the profile within that range.
