# Liquidity Sentiment Profile

Liquidity Sentiment Profile is an indicator on [Vela](https://vela.luxalgo.com/chart), our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.

The Liquidity Sentiment Profile draws two-sided anchored profiles: traded-volume distribution on the right, bullish-versus-bearish sentiment on the left. Value areas, a developing point-of-control line, and color-coded nodes reveal the prices that matter (support, resistance, supply and demand) period after period.

**Liquidity Sentiment Profile** merges [volume profiling](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/volume-profile/) with sentiment analysis over anchored periods. Each profile is two-sided: the right half distributes trading activity across price to show where liquidity concentrated, while the left half shows bullish-versus-bearish sentiment at those same prices. One drawing answers two questions: where the business was done, and who was in control while it happened.

## How to Trade the Liquidity Sentiment Profile?

- **Liquidity side (right)**: heavy prices, the [high-traded nodes](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/concept/high-low-volume-nodes/), flag support/resistance and supply/demand zones, while thin stretches expose liquidity gaps.
- **Sentiment side (left)**: bullish and bearish nodes reveal which side powered the activity at each level.
- **Value areas**: highlighted significant price levels that can recur within a single profile range, marking candidate buying or selling zones.
- **Level of Significance line**: tracks the developing point of control (the price with the highest traded activity) as it migrates through the period.

## Liquidity Sentiment Profile Settings

- **Anchor Period** (default AUTO): the resolution each profile is anchored to.
- **Liquidity Profile / Sentiment Profile**: independent visibility toggles for the two sides.
- **High Traded Nodes / Average Traded Nodes / Low Traded Nodes**: colors for each node class, plus Threshold % settings for the high and low classes; average nodes fill the rows in between.
- **Bullish Nodes / Bearish Nodes**: colors for the sentiment side.
- **Number of Rows**: rows per profile histogram. Very high values can limit how much history stays visible.
- **Profile Width %**: the relative width of histogram rows.
- **Level of Significance, Profile Price Levels, Profile Range Background Fill**: individual visibility toggles.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What's the difference from the Auto-Anchored version?

[Liquidity Sentiment Profile (Auto-Anchored)](https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/liquidity-sentiment-profile-auto-anchored/) keeps the same two-sided profile but opens up the anchoring (fixed ranges and swing-based anchors join the preset periods) and adds buyside/sellside liquidity zones. Choose it when profiles should pin to your own structure; this original remains the streamlined pick.

### Why do older profiles sometimes disappear?

The tool draws within a fixed budget of chart objects. Raising the Number of Rows spends that budget faster, so fewer historical profiles can remain on screen and the oldest may be truncated.

### How can I use the Liquidity Sentiment Profile for free?

It's freely available via the LuxAlgo Library. Opening it in Quant, our coding agent, on this page is an easy way to explore anchor periods and node thresholds. You can also copy the source code from this page and run it anywhere Pine Script® runs.
