Aktualisiert Volume Force Field
Volume Force Field — TradingView publication kit
Volume Force Field turns a volume profile into a force map. A normal profile shows you where value is. This overlay shows you the net pull on price at every level — the slope of the volume landscape toward the nearest magnet — and then it measures, on your own history, whether that pull actually leads price. One plain-language panel tells a non-technical trader what it means at a glance.
What it plots
The force field — coloured bands across price. Green means price at that level is being drawn up toward a high-volume magnet; red means drawn down. Band opacity scales with how much volume sits there.
POC and magnets — the yellow line is the Point of Control (the single strongest magnet); green lines are secondary magnets; dashed red lines are low-volume ridges that price tends to cross quickly.
Value Area — the shaded band holding your chosen % of volume around the POC: the range where trade has been accepted.
Value centre ± band — a moving equilibrium (rolling VWAP / adaptive MA / EMA) with a σ band: the drift level price is pulled back toward.
Guidance panel — plain English: the current bias (pulling up / down / balanced), location vs value (inside / stretched above / stretched below), the nearest magnet and distance, and one line on what to watch.
Past signal marks — small triangles wherever the net pull historically turned strongly up or down, so you can eyeball how the field has behaved.
Why these components are one tool (not several indicators stacked)
Each part answers a question the others cannot, and removing any one breaks the read:
Volume kernel density builds a smooth value landscape whose peaks are magnets. Optional lower-timeframe slicing distributes each bar's volume across its true intrabar path; an optional half-life lets recent volume outweigh old, so the field is a living map, not a flat lookback.
The density gradient turns that landscape into a force — the direction and steepness of attraction at each level, which a plain density cloud never exposes.
The Value Area frames where price is accepted versus stretched, so the force is read in context.
The moving value centre adds the mean-reversion pull toward equilibrium.
The calibration harness back-measures the whole thesis: when the pull is strong, did price actually travel toward the magnet more often than the base rate? It reports Hit %, Base % and Edge.
Density is a picture; the gradient makes it a force; the Value Area frames it; the centre adds drift; the harness keeps it honest. Together they are one decision object.
How to use it
Read the guidance panel first — it states the bias, where price sits versus value, the nearest magnet, and what to watch. On the chart, treat green bands as upward pull toward the magnet above and red as downward pull; the POC and magnet lines are targets; dashed lines are fast low-volume gaps; the Value Area is the accepted range; the centre ± band is the drift equilibrium. Turn on the Calibration table and read Edge: a strong pull with a positive, matured Edge is the context this tool is built to surface. An Edge near zero means the attraction is not exploitable on that symbol/timeframe — that is useful information, not a trade trigger. This is a context map, not a signal generator; combine it with your own risk and execution rules.
Universal across markets
Price source and volume feed are inputs, so it runs on any symbol. Instruments without real volume fall back automatically to a price-density field. Default settings target an index-futures 1-minute chart; change the lookback, centre and slice resolution to suit other assets and timeframes.
Originality
The building blocks are standard and credited below; the original work is the coupling and the rendering — a volume kernel density whose gradient is drawn as a directional force field, fused with a Value Area and a moving value centre, with magnet/ridge extraction and a forward base-rate harness that reports each strong-pull setup's realised Edge instead of asserting that magnets work. No third-party Pine code is reused.

Honesty / limitations
No tick or order-book tape is available to scripts, so the density is built from OHLCV and optional lower-timeframe slices — a proxy, not the true traded distribution. Lower-timeframe slices exist only for recent bars; older bars use bar price automatically. "Force" is a hypothesis the Edge stat exists to falsify. The harness uses a light proxy of the field (the full grid cannot be recomputed on every bar), so it tests the idea rather than the exact drawn object. Like any volume profile, the last (forming) bar's field refreshes in real time; on closed bars it is fixed. Edge figures are in-sample, close-to-close, without costs — a study aid, not a verified backtest. Nothing here predicts price.

Versionshinweise
Volume Force Field v2.1The Edge statistic now carries a Wilson 95% lower bound alongside the point estimate. An Edge is an estimate from a finite sample, and on a modest number of observations a positive reading and pure noise are difficult to tell apart. The panel now turns green only when the lower bound itself clears zero with an adequate sample — a positive average alone is no longer treated as evidence.
Expect the bound to sit below zero more often than the point estimate does. That is the honest reading of a modest sample rather than a shortcoming of the field model.
Also tidied: the value-centre EMA is now computed outside its selector expression, keeping stateful series calls out of conditional branches.
The kernel-density value landscape, force computation, value area and non-repaint construction are unchanged. Edge figures remain in-sample and without costs — a study aid, not a backtest.
Versionshinweise
v2.2 — Force-acceleration layer: is the pull building or fading?This update adds one idea to the tool and nothing that changes what was there before. The original tool showed you the direction and strength of the pull toward high-volume magnets. It did not tell you whether that pull was gaining or losing force right now — and that distinction is often what separates a level that price travels to from one where the move stalls out.
What's new
Force acceleration. The net pull is now differenced bar-to-bar and smoothed (an EMA of the change in force). When the pull and its acceleration share a sign, the attraction is intensifying — price is more likely to actually travel to the magnet. When they oppose, a strong pull is fading — the classic picture of an attraction being absorbed at a level, where the move frequently stalls or reverses.
New "Pull trend" row on the guidance panel — reads building (green/red with the pull direction), fading (absorbing) (amber), or steady. It sits under the existing bias/strength/location/magnet lines, so the panel now tells you not just which way and how hard, but whether it's still accelerating.
Three new alerts: Pull accelerating up, Pull accelerating down, and Pull fading (absorption) — the last fires when a strong pull weakens into the magnet.
Exported value EXP_ForceAccel in the data window, so other scripts can read the smoothed acceleration.
Optional, off by default: VSA bar-event alerts (Upthrust / Shakeout / Stopping Volume / Buying & Selling Climax) built on the standard Wyckoff effort-vs-result taxonomy, and a time-of-day volume baseline that judges each bar's volume against the same clock slot on prior sessions. Both live in settings; neither touches the field, the value area, or the calibration maths.
How to read the new row
Building + pulling up → the draw toward the magnet above is strengthening; continuation toward it is more likely.
Fading (absorbing) → the pull is still strong in magnitude but losing force — treat targets with caution; this is where attractions get eaten and moves stall.
Steady → no meaningful change in the force; read the tool exactly as before.
Unchanged from v2.1: the volume kernel-density field, the POC / secondary magnets / low-volume ridges, the Value Area, the moving value centre and bands, and the self-calibrating Wilson-bounded Edge test are all exactly as they were. The acceleration layer is additive and reads the same net-force series the tool already computed. Edge figures remain in-sample, close-to-close and without costs — a study aid to falsify the "force leads price" idea, not a backtest. As with any volume profile, the forming bar's field refreshes in real time; on closed bars it is fixed.
Concept credits (unchanged): kernel density estimation (Rosenblatt 1956, Parzen 1962); volume-at-price / Value Area / POC from Steidlmayer's Market Profile; restoring-pull mean-reversion (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck); Wilson score interval (1927) for the calibration lower bound. The coupling of these into a single signed, self-calibrating force field — and this acceleration layer — are my own work; no third-party Pine code is reused. Research/educational tool only; not financial advice.
