Peak Activity Range

By LuxAlgoJun 1, 2026

Peak Activity Range turns confirmed volume spikes into tradeable structure. When a volume pivot confirms, the high and low of the candle that produced it become a range, mapped with an internal volume profile, a solid midpoint line, and a dashed point of control marking the heaviest high-volume node inside. Each range then acts as a support and resistance zone with context attached: not just where price reacted, but where participation ran unusually strong.

How to Trade the Peak Activity Range?

  • Breakout mode: a bullish triangle prints on a close above the range high, a bearish one on a close below the range low: momentum escaping a high-volume zone.
  • Retest mode: signals wait for confirmation: a candle opening below the range high and closing above it is bullish, with the mirror case at the range low bearish.
  • Solid midpoint line: the average of the spike candle's range; crossing it resets the signal state so a new setup can arm.
  • Dashed POC: the most-traded price inside the range, a magnet and reaction level in its own right.

The state-based logic keeps signals honest: after one fires, price must return to the midpoint before another can trigger in the same direction, filtering chop around the boundaries.

Peak Activity Range Settings

  • Pivot Length: bars needed to confirm a volume pivot high; larger values keep only the most significant activity ranges.
  • Signal Mode: switches the triangles between Breakout and Retest logic.
  • Show Volume Profile / Profile Rows / Max Width %: toggle the internal profile and set its vertical detail and horizontal reach.
  • Style inputs cover range fills, line colors, and signal markers.
