Adaptive Market Profile – Auto Detect & Dynamic Activity Zones

The Adaptive Market Profile indicator automatically detects and displays the most statistically significant trend channel and market profile for any asset. It utilizes an adaptive approach based on Pearson’s R coefficient to identify the optimal lookback period, ensuring the resulting channel aligns with current market dynamics rather than relying on static inputs.

Usage

The tool can be used for trend following, identifying dynamic support and resistance, and pinpointing liquidity zones. Users can toggle between automatic detection or manual control to fit specific trading styles.

• Trend Identification: The script scans multiple time periods to select the channel with the strongest statistical trend.
• Market Profile: Breaks down the price range within the channel into configurable sections to visualize activity based on volume or price touches.
• Active Zones: Automatically plots parallel lines within the channel that represent the most significant price levels, serving as dynamic areas of interest.

Details

The indicator's core logic centers on maximizing the Pearson’s R coefficient across various lengths (ranging from 50 to 400 bars). By calculating the linear regression slope and standard deviation for these periods, the script identifies which timeframe provides the best fit for the current price action. For the profile calculation, it segments the vertical range of the channel and aggregates data (volume or touches) to highlight high-activity "nodes" that shift as market structure evolves.

Settings

• Automatic detection of optimal trend channel period: Enables the adaptive scanning logic to find the best fit.
• Manual channel period (bars): Sets a fixed lookback period if automatic detection is disabled.
• Deviation Multiplier: Adjusts the width of the regression channel.
• Enable if chart is in logarithmic scale: Ensures calculations remain accurate when using log price scales.
• Calculation method: Choose between 'Volume' or 'Touches' to determine how the profile identifies active zones.
• Number of Profile Sections: Controls the granularity of the internal market profile distribution.
• Show Most Active Lines: Toggles the display of parallel dynamic support/resistance lines.

FAQ

How do I use the automatic detection feature? Simply ensure the "Automatic detection of optimal trend channel period" setting is checked. The script will then scan multiple lengths and update the channel based on the highest Pearson’s R value.

Can I use this on any asset? Yes, the script is designed to be asset-agnostic and functions on crypto, stocks, forex, and futures across all timeframes.
