Overview
Session Volume Profile is an advanced graphical representation that displays trading activity during Forex trading sessions at specified price levels.
The Forex market can be divided into four main trading sessions: the Australian session, the Asian session, the European session and the favorite trading time - the American (US) session.
POC - profile can be used as a support and resistance level for intraday trading.
VWAP - Volume Weighted Average Price.
ATTENTION ! For the indicator to work, an up-to-date tick history is required, the deeper it is, the more qualitative the profile image will be. Your broker should supply tick volume history (Exchange Futures).
The indicator is intended for the development of trading systems, its use in automated systems is not possible for technical reasons.
The indicator builds 2 types of profile:
- Volumes - Volume at the tick price of the last trade.
- Prices - Tick price as a result of a buy / sell transaction.
Input parameters:
- VolumeType - profile types;
- DigitsSet - the number of decimal digits that determine the accuracy of the price of the current chart symbol.
- Width - width (DigitsSet dialing step)
- ShiftOn(Days to look back) - number of days (history)
- Histogramdepth - depth of the histogram, if there is little data (1.0..more) / a lot (less> 0.0..1.0), this parameter allows you to strengthen or weaken the visual representation of the profile
- HistogramFill - filling the histogram with the current profile color
- FirstSession - the first session
- FirstOffSet - the first session profile offset in time relative to the broker's server time
- SecondSession - the first session
- SecondOffSet - offset of the profile of the second session in time relative to the time of the broker server
- ThirdSession - First Session
- ThirdOffSet - offset of the third session profile in time relative to the broker's server time
- FourthSession - Fourth Session
- FourthOffSet - offset of the fourth session profile in time relative to the broker's server time
- ShowPOC - shows VPOC trace line

A brief guide to setting up the indicator for testing in the MT5 Strategy Tester.
Important to remember: Before testing any instrument, you need a history of M1 quotes, the absence of a history will not allow you to get the desired result.
- The DigitsSet variable can take values from Digit0 to Digit5. It is important to set the value of the DigitsSet variable to one bit less than the bit depth of the instrument itself, in some cases two digits less. (Example: EURUSD has Digits = 5, in this case the variable DigitsSet = Digit4 or less)
- The Width variable can take a value from x1 to x20. The variable defines the width of the price range and is calculated relative to the value of the DigitsSet variable. The smaller the Width value, the more visually the profile image will be expressed.
- The ShiftOn/Days to look back variable can take a value from 0 or more. This is a shift in the history of quotes, if ShiftOn/Days to look back = 0, the profiles of the current day will be built.
- The IntradayTimeFrame variable can take a value from M5 to D1. This is the time frame within which the profile will be built.
Example! EURUSD has Digits = 5, set the following values:
- DigitsSet = Digit4
- Width = x1
- ShiftOn/Days to look back = 0
- IntradayTimeFrame = D1
Important to remember: In the strategy tester, the ShiftOn/Days to look back variable must have a value of 0, on an online chart this value can be anything (depending on the depth of the M1 quotes history), the higher the value, the longer the profiles will be built.
