# Money Flow Profile

The **Volume Profile with Money Flow Profile** provides a detailed look at trading activity across price levels, combining traditional volume analysis with money flow data. 

## **Volume and Money Flow Analysis**: 

Displays both **traded delta volume** and **money flow** at each individual price level, allowing traders to clearly see where aggressive buying or selling is concentrated inside the range.

On the left side, the chart displays **Money Flow (in dollar value)**, showing the capital intensity behind each level.\
On the right side, it shows **Volume delta**, helping you understand whether that money was primarily buying or selling.

Each horizontal row represents a **price bin**, where activity is aggregated and separated by direction:

* **Green bars** → *Bullish delta bins*\
  These show price levels where **buy volume exceeds sell volume**.\
  Strong green bars highlight aggressive buyers stepping in and absorbing offers.
* **Blue bars** → *Bearish delta bins*\
  These represent levels where **sell volume exceeds buy volume**.\
  Large blue bars indicate dominant selling pressure and potential distribution.

* **Orange bar** → *Currently filling bin*\
  This highlights the **active price level** where volume is still accumulating in real time.\
  It allows traders to monitor live order flow shifts as the candle develops.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/A4SautQZXnCl36ktCHuG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

This structure helps you:

* Detect absorption zones
* Identify imbalance clusters
* Spot potential support/resistance built from real participation
* Track real-time shifts in order flow

The combination of volume + capital flow provides deeper insight than traditional volume profile alone, revealing *who is in control at each price level and how strong that control really is.*

## **Level Strength (%)**:&#x20;

The left column shows strength percentages, indicating which levels have the highest influence on price.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/Ywp0y3rxXmSK6EW64d0G" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
100% is the strongest level
{% endhint %}

## **Points of Control (POC)**:&#x20;

Highlights key POCs, showing dominant levels for **money flow, delta (positive and negative), volume, and level strength**.&#x20;

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### **The Money Flow POC**&#x20;

shows the level with the highest concentration of capital flow.&#x20;

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Delta +**

point of control suggests strong buying interest at that level and shows the highest volume level.

<figure><img src="/files/hcilHZ9jfpXyC3cQ54AF" alt=""><figcaption><p>Delta +</p></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Delta -**

point of control indicates strong selling interest and shows the lowest volume level.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/PiZQ6nD6S387jZA5eoHJ" alt=""><figcaption><p><strong>Delta -</strong></p></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Level 100%**

highlights the level with the highest **strength percentage** based on trading activity.&#x20;

This metric combines factors like volume, delta, and money flow, emphasizing the most dominant level within the range.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/B7yTrXs0uMqirmTKj8CX" alt=""><figcaption><p><strong>Level 100%</strong></p></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
These levels can act as pivot points or potential reversal zones, showing where aggressive buying or selling has occurred.
{% endhint %}

## Volume Profile – VaH & VaL Added

The volume profiler automatically calculates and plots the **Value Area High (VaH)** and **Value Area Low (VaL)** based on the selected Value Area percentage (default 70%).

<figure><img src="/files/RQYGWYnm2o57RoDw25gx" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**VaH** marks the upper boundary of the value area where the majority of trading activity occurred, acting as a potential resistance or rejection zone.

**VaL** marks the lower boundary of the value area and often behaves as a support or reaction level.

{% hint style="info" %}
Together with the Point of Control (POC), VaH and VaL form a complete value structure inside the volume profile, helping traders identify balanced ranges, breakout levels, and high-probability reaction zones.
{% endhint %}

## **Heat Map**

Uses the strength percentage column as a heat map to visually emphasize high-importance levels.

## **Delta Volume Gauge**

Located at the bottom

this gauge shows the overall delta (difference between buying and selling volume), indicating macro trend direction—positive for an uptrend

<figure><img src="/files/Epe89RuQrUtiqQBK3R5X" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

&#x20;and negative for a downtrend

## How to use

All of these elements work in concert, creating a symphony of market information. They empower you to:

* Spot key price levels with uncanny precision
* Foresee potential market turns before they happen
* Grasp the quality and strength of price moves
* Adjust your strategy on the fly as market conditions shift
* Make informed decisions backed by a clear view of the overall market trend
