The Volume Zones Internal Visualizer is an innovative trading indicator designed to provide deep insights into volume activity by allowing traders to view lower timeframe (LTF) volume dynamics on a higher timeframe (HTF) chart. By using this advanced tool, traders can more accurately identify and analyze the zones of accumulated volume throughout a candle, including the specific LTF candle close that contains the most volume within a session.

How to Trade with the Volume Zones Internal Visualizer?

This extraordinary indicator serves as its own unique type of candlestick, offering insights independently from traditional chart types. While it isn't a replacement for standard candlestick patterns, it should be used by hiding the chart’s normal display for optimal clarity, or alternatively, as an additional pane next to a conventional chart, as shown in the image above.

Upon activation, the indicator showcases candle ranges depicted as outlined boxes, with several distinct visual elements inside. These elements include a transparent-colored zone, a solid-colored zone, and a line, each conveying important volume data gathered from LTF analysis.

The tool not only identifies these critical parameters but also pinpoints the LTF candle with the peak volume within the HTF session, marking its close with a line, aptly termed the "Peak Activity Level" (PAL). This is pivotal as it denotes the price level where the most volume has transacted at any given candle session, providing potential strategic entry or exit points for trades.

These PAL indicators are strategically extended forward into future sessions to analyze their relevance in upcoming price movements. A PAL ceases to be displayed once it has been crossed, signifying its mitigation.

Detailed Explanation

The indicator meticulously compiles volume data from each LTF candle to construct a comprehensive volume profile, the granularity of which is determined by the "Row Size" setting. Within this constructed profile, it highlights and presents the zones of highest volume (solid areas) and lowest volume (transparent areas), facilitating a nuanced understanding of volume distribution throughout a candle's lifespan.

Customizing Settings for Optimal Performance

  • Row Size: Defines the granularity of the volume profile by determining the number of rows used in LTF data calculation.
  • Intrabar Timeframe: Allows the selection of a specific LTF for enhanced calculation accuracy.
  • Show Last Unmitigated PALs: Enables the option to extend a customized number of unaddressed PALs for deeper analysis.
  • Style: Offers toggle options to enable or disable various features and adjust their color settings for improved visual clarity.
