Temporal Volume Profile 3D

The Temporal Volume Profile 3D indicator extends volume profile analysis into a third dimension. It divides the lookback range into time slices and renders them along a depth axis, producing a rotatable terrain of price, time, and traded volume in which a node's age is as visible as its size. Where a standard profile compresses history into one histogram, this build shows whether a liquidity zone is recent, strengthening, aging, or fading.

How to Trade the Temporal Volume Profile 3D?

  • POC ridge migrating: the highest-volume area shifting from older slices toward newer ones suggests fair value is moving, supportive context for trend-following.
  • Peak stable across slices: a node holding the same price region through many slices marks a durable zone for mean-reversion, bounce, or rejection trades.
  • Low-volume valleys (LVNs): areas of thin historical agreement; price re-entering one often travels quickly toward the next major peak, which suits breakout planning.
  • Peak Warning: the real-time price tracker changes as price enters a major high-volume zone, flagging likely friction, consolidation, or reversal.

Camera angles matter: top-down lays out how old and new liquidity relate, while side-on emphasizes peak height for comparing node strength.

Temporal Volume Profile 3D Settings

  • Lookback Bars: the total historical range in the calculation.
  • Price Bins (Width): horizontal resolution, with higher values locating levels more precisely.
  • Time Slices (Depth): how many historical layers build the terrain.
  • Terrain Smoothing: softens neighboring nodes into a cleaner landscape.
  • Yaw / Pitch, Scale X / Y / Z, Offset X / Y: rotate, tilt, resize, and reposition the projection around your chart.
  • Show Ridge Lines, Mountain Fills, Show POC Ridge Line, Peak Proximity Warning: layer visibility and the price-tracker warning.
