Money Flow Profile
By LuxAlgoApr 2, 2024
Money Flow Profile is an indicator on Vela, our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.

The Money Flow Profile extends classic volume profiling into a three-panel instrument: traded activity histogrammed on the right, a sentiment panel on the left splitting buy from sell dominance at each level (close kin to a delta profile) and the key price levels down the middle. Rows can be sourced from raw volume or money flow, showing where turnover actually concentrated over your chosen range.
How to Trade the Money Flow Profile?
- High-activity nodes: heavily traded rows mark levels where positions concentrate: support/resistance candidates that price gravitates toward and stabilizes around.
- Low-traded nodes: thin rows tend to be crossed quickly or produce fast bounces.
- Sentiment rows: buy or sell dominance at a level shows which side built it.
- Consolidation zones: flagged compression areas help anticipate the breakouts that follow accumulation.
- Annotations: Level of Significance (the point of control, shown developing, as a line or as a zone), Highest Sentiment Zone, and Profile Price Levels enrich the read, while the Profile Heatmap accentuates the busiest areas.
