Structural Leg Profiler
By LuxAlgoApr 28, 2026
The Structural Leg Profiler connects market structure to the volume that built it. Its ATR-based swing detection confirms each bullish or bearish leg much as a zigzag confirms pivots, then constructs a volume profile for that specific move from lower-timeframe data. Every leg carries a summary label with its total volume, net delta, and point of control (POC), so you can see whether a swing was broadly supported or thin and vulnerable.
How to Trade the Structural Leg Profiler?
- Volume Gradient mode: high-volume nodes stand out and the POC marks the leg's busiest price, a candidate pullback zone in bullish legs, resistance in bearish ones.
- Delta mode: green blocks show net aggressive buying, red blocks net selling, exposing who was in control inside the move.
- Naked POC lines: untested POCs project forward as dashed levels and terminate once price returns, ready-made levels without manual drawing.
- Volume bubbles: candles trading well above the 20-period average volume get flagged, with extreme spikes printing their value. Near a breakout they support continuation; at the end of an extended leg they can warn of exhaustion.
Structural Leg Profiler Settings
- ATR Period: volatility lookback behind swing detection.
- Swing Multiplier (ATR): leg sensitivity. Higher isolates major trend legs, lower captures micro-swings.
- Max Profile Boxes: vertical resolution of each profile.
- Profile Alignment: anchors profile bars Left, Right, or Center within the leg.
- Extend Untested POCs: projects naked POC lines until price tests them.
- Spike Threshold: volume multiple of the 20-period average required to print a bubble.
- Box Color Mode: Volume Gradient or Delta coloring, with Show Volume Value for numeric overlays.
