Hello Traders!
🔹Intrabar Profile [Kioseff Trading]
Intrabar Profile is a lower-timeframe profile tool designed to draw a volume profile or delta profile on each individual candle.
Instead of only looking at where a candle opened, closed, wicked, or changed color, this indicator attempts to show:
Where did volume actually trade inside the bar?
It focuses on answering a deeper question:
What happened inside the candle that normal candlesticks do not show?
🔹What the indicator shows
🔸Intrabar Volume Profile
The indicator reconstructs a mini volume profile for each candle using lower timeframe data.
This allows you to see:
This shifts your perspective from:
“this candle closed bullish or bearish”
to:
“where did participation actually take place inside this candle?”
🔸POC Per Candle
Each intrabar profile includes a Point of Control, or POC.
The POC marks the price level inside the candle where the highest amount of volume was detected.
This helps identify:
🔸Value Area Per Candle
The indicator can also display a value area for each profile.
The value area is calculated from total volume and highlights the region where the majority of volume occurred inside the bar.
This helps separate:
Together, the POC and value area help show the internal structure of each candle instead of only the candle body and wick.
🔸Intrabar Delta Profile
Intrabar Profile can also switch from standard volume profile mode to delta profile mode.
Delta mode estimates buy-side and sell-side pressure using lower timeframe price movement and volume.
This allows you to see:
This can help answer:
Was volume only present, or was it meaningfully skewed toward buyers or sellers?
🔸Volume Profile vs Delta Profile
The indicator includes two profile modes:
Volume profile mode focuses on:
Delta profile mode focuses on:
🔸Adaptive Mini Profiles
The profiles are drawn directly on top of the chart candles and are designed to stay proportional as the chart is adjusted.
This means the visual structure adapts as you:
The goal is to keep the profile readable without turning the chart into visual clutter.
🔹Granularity Options
The indicator uses lower timeframe data to build each intrabar profile.
Available granularity options include:
Lower granularity can provide a more detailed reconstruction of intrabar activity, depending on the symbol and data available from TradingView.
Important Note
Some lower timeframe data options may require specific TradingView data access or plan availability. If a selected granularity is not available on your chart or account, the indicator can only work with the data TradingView provides.
🔹How to read it
Each candle can be read as its own mini profile.
This helps you compare:
🔹Example interpretations
🔹Why this indicator is useful
Intrabar Profile gives you a way to look beyond standard candles.
It helps you see:
Instead of only asking:
“Did this candle close green or red?”
you can ask:
“Where did the trading actually happen inside this candle?”
🔹Best use cases
🔹Inputs you can customize
🔹Important note
This script uses lower timeframe data to approximate intrabar volume and delta structure.
This means:
Closing Notes
Intrabar Profile is built to show the internal volume structure of each candle.
It helps turn a normal candlestick chart into a more detailed profile-based view of participation, imbalance, and intrabar activity.
As always, thank you TradingView!
🔹Intrabar Profile [Kioseff Trading]
Intrabar Profile is a lower-timeframe profile tool designed to draw a volume profile or delta profile on each individual candle.
Instead of only looking at where a candle opened, closed, wicked, or changed color, this indicator attempts to show:
Where did volume actually trade inside the bar?
It focuses on answering a deeper question:
What happened inside the candle that normal candlesticks do not show?
- volume profile on every visible bar
- delta profile on every visible bar
- lower-timeframe volume distribution
- POC detection per candle
- value area visualization
- buy-side vs sell-side imbalance display
- optional volume-at-level labels
- adaptive scaling as the chart zooms in or out
🔹What the indicator shows
🔸Intrabar Volume Profile
The indicator reconstructs a mini volume profile for each candle using lower timeframe data.
This allows you to see:
- where volume was concentrated inside each bar
- which price level had the highest volume
- how volume was distributed across the candle range
- whether volume was balanced or concentrated near specific levels
This shifts your perspective from:
“this candle closed bullish or bearish”
to:
“where did participation actually take place inside this candle?”
🔸POC Per Candle
Each intrabar profile includes a Point of Control, or POC.
The POC marks the price level inside the candle where the highest amount of volume was detected.
This helps identify:
- where the most trading activity occurred inside the bar
- whether volume was concentrated near the high, low, or middle of the candle
- potential areas of intrabar acceptance or rejection
- where participation clustered before price moved away
🔸Value Area Per Candle
The indicator can also display a value area for each profile.
The value area is calculated from total volume and highlights the region where the majority of volume occurred inside the bar.
This helps separate:
- high-participation areas
- lower-participation areas
- balanced candles
- thin or inefficient areas of the candle
Together, the POC and value area help show the internal structure of each candle instead of only the candle body and wick.
🔸Intrabar Delta Profile
Intrabar Profile can also switch from standard volume profile mode to delta profile mode.
Delta mode estimates buy-side and sell-side pressure using lower timeframe price movement and volume.
This allows you to see:
- where positive delta appeared inside the candle
- where negative delta appeared inside the candle
- whether aggressive activity was concentrated at the top, middle, or bottom of the bar
- when total volume and directional pressure tell different stories
This can help answer:
Was volume only present, or was it meaningfully skewed toward buyers or sellers?
🔸Volume Profile vs Delta Profile
The indicator includes two profile modes:
- VP - displays total volume distribution inside each candle
- Delta - displays directional volume imbalance inside each candle
Volume profile mode focuses on:
- where participation occurred
- where volume was concentrated
- where the candle’s POC and value area formed
Delta profile mode focuses on:
- which side had more pressure
- where buy-side or sell-side imbalance appeared
- whether pressure was distributed evenly or concentrated at specific levels
🔸Adaptive Mini Profiles
The profiles are drawn directly on top of the chart candles and are designed to stay proportional as the chart is adjusted.
This means the visual structure adapts as you:
- zoom in
- zoom out
- stretch the chart
- compress the chart
The goal is to keep the profile readable without turning the chart into visual clutter.
🔹Granularity Options
The indicator uses lower timeframe data to build each intrabar profile.
Available granularity options include:
- 5-minute
- 1-minute
- 1-second
- 1-tick
Lower granularity can provide a more detailed reconstruction of intrabar activity, depending on the symbol and data available from TradingView.
Important Note
Some lower timeframe data options may require specific TradingView data access or plan availability. If a selected granularity is not available on your chart or account, the indicator can only work with the data TradingView provides.
🔹How to read it
Each candle can be read as its own mini profile.
- larger profile rows show more volume or stronger absolute delta
- the POC marks the highest-volume level inside the candle
- the value area highlights the primary participation zone
- gray areas show volume outside the selected value area
- positive delta shows stronger buy-side pressure
- negative delta shows stronger sell-side pressure
This helps you compare:
- where the candle closed
- where the most volume traded
- where delta was strongest
- whether the candle’s appearance matches its internal activity
🔹Example interpretations
- bullish candle + volume concentrated near the high → possible acceptance higher
- bullish candle + heavy volume near the low → possible absorption or delayed response
- bearish candle + negative delta near the low → aggressive selling into the bottom of the bar
- large candle + thin profile → fast movement with less balanced participation
- small candle + heavy profile → high activity with limited price movement
- strong delta but weak candle movement → potential absorption or opposition
🔹Why this indicator is useful
Intrabar Profile gives you a way to look beyond standard candles.
It helps you see:
- where volume formed inside each candle
- where the candle’s POC developed
- whether participation was concentrated or spread out
- whether buyers or sellers dominated specific levels
- how volume and delta behaved inside the bar
- whether the candle’s structure supports or contradicts the price action
Instead of only asking:
“Did this candle close green or red?”
you can ask:
“Where did the trading actually happen inside this candle?”
🔹Best use cases
- studying intrabar volume structure
- analyzing candle quality
- identifying high-volume zones inside individual bars
- spotting possible absorption or imbalance
- comparing price action against internal volume distribution
- enhancing volume profile, order flow, or liquidity-based analysis
🔹Inputs you can customize
- profile type: VP or Delta
- granularity: 5-minute, 1-minute, 1-second, or 1-tick
- number of profile rows
- buy-side and sell-side colors
- POC color
- mini profile transparency
- value area visibility
- volume-at-level labels
🔹Important note
This script uses lower timeframe data to approximate intrabar volume and delta structure.
This means:
- accuracy depends on available lower timeframe data
- different symbols may behave differently
- 1-second or tick data may not be available for every user or market
- delta is estimated from lower timeframe price movement and volume
- this is an analytical visualization tool, not a predictive engine
Closing Notes
Intrabar Profile is built to show the internal volume structure of each candle.
It helps turn a normal candlestick chart into a more detailed profile-based view of participation, imbalance, and intrabar activity.
As always, thank you TradingView!
