Volume Footprint POC for Every Candle

18 thg 1

Calculating and plotting the Point of Control (POC) for every candle on a volume footprint chart can provide valuable insights for traders. Here are some interpretations and uses of this information:
1. Identify Key Price Levels

Highest Traded Volume: The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume for each candle. This level often acts as a significant support or resistance level.
Confluence Zones: When multiple POCs align at similar price levels over several candles, it indicates strong support or resistance zones.

2. Gauge Market Sentiment

Buyer and Seller Activity: High volume at certain price levels can indicate where buyers and sellers are most active. A rising POC suggests stronger buying activity, while a falling POC suggests stronger selling activity.
Volume Profile: Analyzing the volume profile helps in understanding the distribution of traded volume across different price levels, providing insights into market sentiment and potential reversals.

3. Spot Trends and Reversals

Trend Continuation: Consistent upward or downward shifts in POC levels can indicate a trend continuation. Traders can use this information to stay in trending positions.
Reversal Signals: A sudden change in the POC direction may signal a potential reversal. This can be used to take profits or enter new positions.

4. Intraday Trading Strategies

Short-Term Trading: Intraday traders can use the POC to make informed decisions on entry and exit points. For example, buying near the POC during an uptrend or selling near the POC during a downtrend.
Scalping Opportunities: High-frequency traders can use shifts in the POC to scalp small profits from price movements around these key levels.

5. Volume-Based Indicators

Confirmation of Other Indicators: The POC can be used in conjunction with other technical indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI) to confirm signals and improve trading accuracy.
Support and Resistance: Combining the POC with traditional support and resistance levels can provide a more comprehensive view of the market dynamics.


In summary, the Point of Control (POC) is a valuable tool for traders to understand market behavior, identify key levels, and make more informed trading decisions. If you have specific questions or need further details on how to use this information in your trading strategy, feel free to ask! 😊

1) Updating the Image on the Indicator Homepage.
2) I personally use this on Intraday Timeframe,
per me when Price Action Moves away from POC Line, it should no way be touching it, that's when good move can be expected.
