Candles Volume HeatMap [BigBeluga]

How it works

The Candle Volume HeatMap dissects each higher timeframe candle into 10 equal vertical segments based on its price range. It uses a lower timeframe (10x smaller) to analyze volume activity within these segments, color-coding each box to represent volume intensity.

The indicator calculates and displays the Point of Control (POC) by identifying the highest volume segment in each candle. It can also track the Delta, which measures buyer and seller activity by summing the volume of bullish and bearish lower timeframe candles to show net market sentiment.

Why it may be useful

This indicator provides traders with a granular view of volume distribution that traditional volume indicators cannot offer. By breaking down volume across price levels, it reveals hidden market dynamics and concentration of trading activity within each candle.

The detailed volume mapping helps traders identify potential support and resistance zones, understand market sentiment, and make more informed trading decisions. The ability to visualize volume intensity and market participation adds a sophisticated layer of analysis to price action trading.

When to explore it

The Candle Volume HeatMap is most effective in markets with significant volume and clear price movements. It works best for traders seeking to understand volume dynamics across different timeframes and looking for precise entry and exit points.

Traders can utilize this indicator during market transitions, potential breakouts, or when analyzing trend strength and potential reversals. It is particularly useful in liquid markets like forex, futures, and actively traded stocks where volume patterns can provide meaningful insights.
