Volume & Value

SSM IQ MTF-Volume Activity Map

Compare three independently resolved volume perspectives with value, VWAP and Fibonacci context on one TradingView chart. Full and Lite editions.

Three Horizons of Value. One Chart.

Where is value right now — and does it agree with the larger market context?

A single volume profile only tells you where value sits inside one window. It can't tell you whether that value agrees with the week or the month around it. SSM IQ MTF-Volume Activity Map reads three independently anchored horizons at once — short-term, intermediate and higher — so every intraday level gets judged against the structure that actually contains it.

Product at a Glance

What is it?
A TradingView indicator that reads three independently anchored volume profiles at once, together with an anchored VWAP, an anchored Fibonacci grid and a Volume Absorption Radar.
Platform
TradingView, Pine Script v6
Main purpose
Judge whether an intraday price level is supported by, or diverging from, the higher-timeframe structure around it.
Primary analytical concept
Multi-horizon volume-profile confluence — three independently anchored horizons read together.
Best suited for
Traders and analysts who already read volume profiles and want session, weekly and monthly context without manually re-anchoring several separate indicators.
Editions
Full (independent per-horizon control) and Lite (simplified Reference Periods) — both share the same analysis engine.
Auto-Timeframe
Yes, in both editions.
Manual Mode
Full edition only.
Intrabar data
Used automatically when the feed supports it; falls back to chart-resolution data and reports this explicitly when it can't.
Repainting behaviour
Profiles, the frozen VWAP, the absorption baseline, alerts and the data feed all commit only once a bar closes; a still-developing window keeps updating until its own anchor completes.
TradingView requirements
TradingView account with Pine Script v6 support; invite-only distribution, access granted after purchase; a genuine lower-timeframe feed is needed for the most precise intrabar mode and the Volume Absorption Radar.

One Window Isn't the Whole Picture

A single volume profile is a snapshot of one window. It shows where value concentrated inside that window — but on its own, it can't tell you whether the level it highlights actually matters, or whether it's just noise inside a bigger, disagreeing picture. Traders who want that broader context usually end up running two or three separate volume-profile tools side by side, each configured differently, each with its own anchor to track by hand — and each one easy to lose sync with the others.

What Actually Sets This Apart

Dozens of volume-profile scripts exist. Here's what's different about this one.

Three horizons, genuinely connected

Not three copies of the same tool running side by side — all three horizons share one reference system, so switching them (all at once, or one at a time) is a single setting change, not three separate reconfigurations.

Zones that show their work

High- and low-volume zones carry a visible strength score, not just a colored rectangle, so you can judge at a glance whether a zone deserves your attention.

VWAP that remembers its shape

Most tools flatten a completed session's average into a straight line. This one keeps the real curve value traced, so you can see how it got there.

Honest about its own limits

Buy/sell tone and the absorption radar are both disclosed for what they are — read from candle behavior, not true executed order flow — so you always know how much weight to put on them.

Built to automate, not just to watch

A structured data feed sits behind the chart from day one, ready for a webhook or dashboard the moment you need one.

Always Know What You're Looking At

No guessing which window a level belongs to — every horizon is labeled right on the chart: Today, Last Week, Last Month, a named trading session, and more.

What's Actually On Your Chart

Three Horizons, One Chart

A fully detailed near-term profile runs alongside two lighter reference profiles, each anchored to its own time window, so short-term, weekly and monthly value are visible together.

Explicit Reference Vocabulary

Every horizon is labeled for exactly what it measures, so you always know precisely which window produced the line in front of you.

Auto-Timeframe

Automatically adapts rows, data detail and sensitivity to whatever chart interval you're on, from ticks to monthly, so the indicator is ready the moment you add it.

Zones Backed by Evidence

High- and low-volume zones carry a strength score built from volume, tightness and whether price has already tested the zone.

Frozen VWAP That Keeps Its Shape

Once a session's VWAP completes, it retains the real curve it traced, then projects forward from where it froze.

Volume Absorption Radar

Flags moments where unusually heavy volume met very little price progress, disclosed as a candle-geometry heuristic rather than genuine order-flow detection.

How It Works

Reading Three Horizons at Once — XAUUSD

Market Context
XAUUSD trading inside a defined intraday range, with today's session still developing while last week's and last month's profiles are already resolved and visible on the same chart.
What Happened
Price approaches a zone where today's developing value (POC) sits close to last week's Value Area High — but last month's Point of Control sits meaningfully lower, well outside that zone.
What The Indicator Showed
The three horizon labels update in plain language on the chart — "Today," "Last Week," "Last Month" — with each horizon's key value levels plotted independently. The short-term and weekly horizons cluster close together; the monthly horizon visibly diverges below them.
Why It Mattered
A trader looking only at the near-term profile might read the current zone as strongly defended, since two of three horizons agree. Seeing the monthly horizon diverge gives a fuller picture: the broader structure has not yet confirmed what the two nearer horizons suggest — worth knowing before treating the zone as settled.
This is an illustrative scenario intended to demonstrate how the indicator's output is read, not a record of an actual trade or a forecast of future price behavior.

Every Zone Comes With a Reason to Trust It

Zone strength reflects volume, tightness and whether price has already tested it — not just a colored box on the chart.

Ready Out of the Box. Fully Configurable When You Need It.

Auto-Timeframe (both editions) adapts the indicator to whatever chart interval you're on — from ticks to monthly charts, including non-standard intervals — so it configures itself sensibly without you touching a setting. Manual Mode (Full edition) lets you set each horizon's reference window independently and choose an explicit anchor — a named calendar period, a named trading session, a rolling bar count, or, for the Fibonacci grid, a confirmed swing. Lite replaces manual anchoring with simple Reference Periods — a short list of dropdowns per horizon, without exposing the full manual-anchor system underneath.

Side-by-side settings crops: Full's manual reference controls vs. Lite's Reference Period choices

Full and Lite

Same engine. Different amount of control in your hands.

Full and Lite share the exact same underlying analysis engine and emit the identical data feed — what changes is how much control sits in your hands.

Full

Hands-on authority: set each horizon's reference window independently, edit session windows and timezones, tune thresholds and row detail, access the complete automated data feed. Built for an analyst who wants every dial within reach.

Lite

Decisions trimmed to what matters most: pick a simple reference period for each horizon from a short list of choices, or leave it on Auto and let the indicator configure itself sensibly. Built for a trader who wants the same three-horizon read without managing the underlying machinery.

Made to Fit Your Chart

Beyond the reference-window choices covered above, the indicator lets you control how much of each horizon is visible (each profile can be switched on or off independently), where the histogram sits relative to price, the Volume Absorption Radar's sensitivity (automatic or manual), and the visual theme (Auto, Dark or Light — Auto reads your chart background and adapts automatically). Full adds session-window editing, row and threshold tuning, and per-module reference control on top of all of this.

Built to Work Alongside the Rest of SSM IQ

SSM IQ MTF-Volume Activity Map deliberately stays focused on value and volume structure — it doesn't include moving averages or a trend channel, so it layers cleanly on a chart alongside SSM IQ tools built for trend-following or structural context, without duplicating what they already show. Its AI Telemetry output shares the same vocabulary as SSM IQ Volume Activity Map, so a single dashboard or parser can read output from either product.

TradingView Requirements

Runs on TradingView, built in Pine Script v6. Distribution is invite-only; access is granted by the vendor after purchase. For the most precise intrabar mode and the Volume Absorption Radar to work as designed, a genuine lower-timeframe data feed is needed — without it, the indicator falls back to chart-resolution data and says so explicitly rather than pretending otherwise. Confirm your TradingView plan supports the data access you need before relying on these features.

Important to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Full and Lite?

Both share the identical analysis engine. Full gives you full manual control over every horizon's reference window, editable session times and every threshold. Lite simplifies that choice to a short list of Reference Period options per horizon and stays permanently on Auto-Timeframe.

Is this a trading strategy that tells me when to buy or sell?

No. It's an analytical mapping tool — it shows where value sits across three horizons and whether they agree, but it doesn't execute trades, issue buy/sell recommendations, or guarantee future price behavior. Any decision built on what it shows remains yours.

Is the buy/sell tone genuine order-flow data?

No, and this is disclosed rather than implied. Buy/sell tone and the volume delta reading are candle-direction approximations, and the Volume Absorption Radar is a candle-geometry heuristic — neither is tick-by-tick executed order flow. Both are useful supplementary context, not a standalone signal.

Do the three horizons need to agree before a level matters?

Not strictly — but convergence across horizons is treated as a stronger structural read than any single profile viewed alone, while divergence is a flag that the level you're watching may not be backed by the bigger picture.

Can I use this alongside SSM IQ Volume Activity Map, the classic single-anchor product?

Pick one. Volume Activity Map goes deep on a single window — the session or day you are actually trading. MTF-Volume Activity Map compares three horizons at once, so you can see whether the value one window builds agrees with the week and month around it. Running both puts two profile engines on the same chart answering overlapping questions; choose the depth or the breadth, not both.

Is it suitable for scalping or very short timeframes?

Auto-Timeframe covers very low chart intervals, including tick and sub-minute charts, so the indicator configures itself sensibly down to that resolution. No specific scalping performance claim is made.
