TPO Levels [VAH/POC/VAL] with Poor H/L, Single Prints & NPOCs

The TPO Levels [VAH/POC/VAL] with Poor H/L, Single Prints & NPOCs indicator provides a comprehensive technical analysis framework designed to identify market structure, value zones, and key liquidity levels using Auction Market Theory. It visualizes critical horizontal levels derived from Time Price Opportunities (TPOs) without cluttering the chart with full profiles, making it ideal for pinpointing institutional interest and price magnets.

Usage

The script is used to identify where the market has found "fair value" and where it has shown aggressive rejection.

• Value Area Context: Traders can determine if the current price is within the previous session's Value Area (balance) or outside of it (imbalance), signaling potential trend starts.
• Liquidity Targets: Historical Naked Points of Control (nPOCs) and Single Prints act as magnets for future price action, often serving as targets or areas for mean reversion.
• Structural Weakness: Identifying Poor Highs or Poor Lows helps traders spot "unfinished auctions" where the market is likely to return to complete the price discovery process.

Details

This tool calculates levels based on the distribution of price over time. Unlike standard volume profiles, TPO focuses on the time spent at specific price levels.

• Point of Control (POC): The price level where the most time was spent during a session, representing the fairest price.
• Single Prints: Areas of rapid price movement where only a single TPO exists, representing an imbalance that the market often seeks to "fill."
• Multi-Timeframe Support: The script tracks Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels simultaneously, providing macro context even when viewing lower timeframe charts.

Settings

Session & Ticks

• Session Period: Select between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly session calculations.
• Tick Size Preset: Choose optimized tick settings for BTC, ETH, SOL, GOLD, or use a manual input for other assets.
• Custom Session Times: Manually define the start time for sessions (useful for non-crypto assets like Gold).

Levels & Visibility

• Show Naked POC: Toggles the display of untouched POC levels from previous sessions.
• Combine Close Naked POCs: Merges nPOCs that are within a specific percentage threshold to reduce chart noise.
• Show Single Prints: Displays boxes representing price imbalances and aggressive moves.
• Show Poor High/Low: Marks flat profile extremes that suggest weak structural support or resistance.
• Keep Touched Levels: Determines whether historical levels remain visible or are deleted once price intersects them.

FAQ

How do I access TPO Levels [VAH/POC/VAL] with Poor H/L, Single Prints & NPOCs? You can get access on the LuxAlgo Library for charting platforms like TradingView, MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), and NinjaTrader for free.

What is the difference between a POC and an nPOC? A POC is the fairest price of a completed session, while an nPOC (Naked POC) is a historical POC that has not yet been revisited by price in a subsequent session.

Why are Single Prints important? Single Prints represent areas of extreme imbalance where price moved too quickly for two-way auctioning to occur; they often act as support/resistance or targets for price to "fill the gap."
