Anchored Clusters Volume Profile

Anchored Clusters Volume Profile runs K-Means clustering over a time range you anchor on the chart and draws an independent volume profile for every price regime it finds, rather than one aggregated histogram. Each color-coded cluster carries its own point of control and total-volume label, exposing the separate value areas a single profile blurs together.

How to Trade the Anchored Clusters Volume Profile?

• Cluster POCs: dashed lines mark where the most volume traded inside each regime; price revisiting a high-volume POC frequently reacts: support in bullish structure, resistance in bearish.
• Cluster geometry: overlapping clusters point to balance and range conditions, while vertically separated clusters with thin gaps between them show acceptance at new prices; a fresh cluster forming away from the rest often accompanies a breakout.
• Volume conviction: compare the Total labels. A break into a high-volume cluster carries more weight than one into a thin cluster.

Because bars are grouped by price proximity instead of strict chronology (the same instinct behind level clustering), the tool also frames risk: stops belong beyond a cluster's full range, targets at the POC of the next cluster above or below.

Anchored Clusters Volume Profile Settings

• Start Time / End Time: the analysis window, selectable directly on the chart; Range Highlight shades it.
• Number of Clusters: 2 to 10. Fewer for broad regimes, more for finer structural detail.
• K-Means Iterations: refinement cycles; higher values produce more stable cluster separation.
• Rows per Cluster VP / Max VP Width (Bars) / VP Offset: vertical resolution, histogram width, and spacing from price.
• Highlight Price Dots / Dot Size: per-bar markers showing cluster assignment.
