Volume by price
Maps traded volume at each price level as a horizontal histogram — showing exactly where the market accepted or rejected value.
See where the real money trades. Volume Profile maps volume by price instead of time, revealing the POC, value area, and the high-probability levels — VAH and VAL — where institutions transact and price loves to react.

Price tells you where the market has been. Volume Profile tells you where it did the most business — and where it's likely to react.
Maps traded volume at each price level as a horizontal histogram — showing exactly where the market accepted or rejected value.
Pinpoints the price with the highest traded volume — the market's fairest price and a magnet for support and resistance.
Marks the Value Area High and Low — the band where about 70% of volume traded — so you know when price is at fair value or stretched.
Updates live as the session develops, so you can watch value shift and see where big players are building position as it happens.
Beyond POC and value area, it plots the range high, low, and midpoint — six actionable reference levels on every profile.
Works on any market and runs on tick, range, minute, and volume charts — build the profile that fits how you trade.
Instead of plotting volume by time, the indicator stacks it by price — building a horizontal histogram that shows how much trading happened at every level. The longest bar is the Point of Control: the price the market agreed on most.
Around it, the Value Area (VAH to VAL) captures roughly 70% of volume. High-volume nodes act as support and resistance; low-volume gaps are where price tends to move fast. It's a map of who's in control, drawn from real transactions.
Add it to your chartsThe widest node is the POC; VAH/VAL bound the value area (~70% of volume).

POC (Point of Control) is the price with the most traded volume. VAH and VAL (Value Area High and Low) bound the range where roughly 70% of the session's volume traded. Together they map fair value and the edges where price is most likely to react.
It's a native NinjaScript indicator for NinjaTrader 8. It works on any market and runs on tick, range, minute, and volume charts, updating in real time as the session develops.
Many traders fade the value-area edges (VAH/VAL) back toward the POC in balanced markets, and watch for breakouts through them in trending ones. High-volume nodes act as support/resistance; low-volume areas are where price tends to move quickly.
