Volume indicators for TradingView: profile and order flow

Volume indicators for TradingView from supersmart.money IQ answer two different questions. Volume Profile & Activity Map shows where volume traded across price — value area, zones, low-volume gaps and naked levels — and grades every window for data quality. Volume X-Ray shows how active each bar is for its time of day and names the participation behind it. Each has a Premium edition for the TradingView Premium plan or higher that reads volume footprints: the profile row by row, each bar by delta, point of control and excess. Every Premium edition includes its classic one, and all four confirm on bar close.

The 4 indicators

Volume Profile & Order Flow

Volume Profile & Activity Map

An anchored profile that reads itself: value area, support and resistance zones with a 0–100 strength, low-volume gaps, naked levels and an anchored VWAP with bands — every window graded for data quality.

  • 21 anchors, from a single session to a full year; the dashboard names the window it measures.
  • Each high-volume zone shows its strength, retests and delta, so you can see why it is on the chart.
  • No volume, no profile: a symbol without volume reads UNAVAILABLE instead of an invented map.

Volume Profile & Order Flow

Volume Profile & Activity Map Premium

Includes Volume Profile & Activity Map

The same map built from TradingView volume footprints, every row at the price where it traded, plus stacked-imbalance zones, a TPO time profile and the initial balance.

  • The dashboard states the footprint row size, rows per bar and how much of the window the footprint covered.
  • Stacked-imbalance zones are filed on bar close, dimmed after a test and removed on a close through.
  • If your plan changes, the included classic edition keeps the same map on any plan.

Volume Profile & Order Flow

Volume X-Ray

Compares every bar with what is typical for that instrument at that time of day and names it in one of 12 participation states — on bar close, with the data source always labelled.

  • RVOL 1.00× means typical for this hour, so a routine London open reads as routine and an exceptional one stands out.
  • States are decided on the close and never redrawn; a bar with no new sample is held, not filled in.
  • It draws in its own pane, with only the dashboard and markers on the price chart.

Volume X-Ray Premium

Includes Volume X-Ray

Reads each bar's footprint — buying and selling volume, delta, point of control and excess, plus anchored delta — and grades the footprint behind every reading FP, FP~ or EST.

  • Δ BAR shows the aggressor side and margin, POC where in the bar most volume traded, EXC whether an extreme was rejected.
  • Delta is measured against the instrument's own typical delta, so different markets read on one scale.
  • It runs the same 12-state participation engine as Volume X-Ray.

How to combine them without doubling the chart

The rule: one edition of each tool per chart, and each shared layer in one indicator.

  • One edition per chart.

    Volume Profile & Activity Map or its Premium edition, not both — they draw the same map. Volume X-Ray Premium already contains the full Volume X-Ray engine, so you do not need Volume X-Ray on the same chart.

  • Profile + X-Ray.

    Different axes, no duplicated reading: the profile shows where volume sat across price, X-Ray how active each bar is for its hour. Absorption appears in both — if you read it in X-Ray, set Absorption Bubbles = Off in the profile tool.

  • Tidy screen.

    If dashboards overlap, change Position in X-Ray or set its Surface to Pane.

Pairs:

  • Any TradingView plan:

    Volume Profile & Activity Map + Volume X-Ray — $59.98 one-time.

  • TradingView Premium plan or higher:

    Volume Profile & Activity Map Premium + Volume X-Ray Premium — $79.98 one-time, with both classic editions included (4 scripts).

All 3 order flow indicators for TradingView that need the Premium plan — these two and a support and resistance tool built from traded volume — are compared on one page. New to value areas? Read how POC and value area work.

Frequently asked questions

Which of these need a TradingView Premium plan?

The two Premium editions — Volume Profile & Activity Map Premium and Volume X-Ray Premium — because they read TradingView volume footprints. The classic editions work on every plan, including the free one.

Do the Premium editions include the classic ones?

Yes. Each Premium edition includes its classic edition, and you receive invites to both scripts. Use one edition of each tool per chart.

Profile or X-Ray — what is the difference?

The profile shows where volume sat across price in a window; X-Ray shows how active each bar is for its time of day, in its own pane. They read different axes, so they combine without duplicating each other.

Do they work on forex and CFDs?

Yes, with the data those feeds carry. Broker tick volume counts price changes, not traded size: the profile flags it as TICK-BASED, and X-Ray recognises it and uses a longer reference window. For traded size, pick a related futures contract.

Do they repaint?

Closed windows and confirmed states are not redrawn: events are decided on bar close. The developing profile window is labelled DEVELOPING, and X-Ray marks the forming bar LIVE. See why your order block failed — the volume context.

Read where volume traded — and who traded it

A classic edition for every plan, a footprint edition for the TradingView Premium plan, one colour language across both.
