Aurora Compass [JOAT]

Aurora Compass is a higher-timeframe volume-profile overlay with smart-money-weighted bin coloring, Point of Control (POC) tracking, Value Area High / Value Area Low boundaries, top-three High Volume Node (HVN) full-chart-width zones, low-volume node markers, liquidity-sweep detection with persistent price labels, an inter-interval POC drift trail, profile imbalance and HVN-rotation alerts, and a right-side 21-segment bias compass.

What makes it different
  • Traditional volume profile shows raw volume distribution. Aurora Compass weights each candle's contribution by a normalized Negative Volume Index delta, emphasising bars where institutions tend to transact (NVI-up days). The result highlights levels of smart-money concentration, not just raw turnover.
  • Full-chart-width HVN zone boxes (not just thin borders) make the top three nodes obvious across the entire visible price history.
  • Value Area High and Value Area Low are computed and drawn. The price boundaries that bracket 70% of profile volume. These are first-class horizontal levels with right-edge labels.
  • An inter-interval POC drift trail draws a line from each interval's POC midpoint to the next, colored by direction. You can read multi-day POC migration at a glance.
  • Liquidity sweeps are detected when price wicks beyond an HVN and the candle body closes back through. The script prints a persistent price label, not just a marker.

How it works
  1. Higher-timeframe rollover is detected via ta.change(htfTf). No request.security is used. The profile is constructed from local bars within the interval.
  2. The price range within the active interval is binned into res slices. For each bin, the script accumulates total volume and smart-money-weighted signed volume.
  3. POC is the bin midpoint with the maximum total volume. Value Area is computed by expanding outward from POC until cumulative volume reaches 70%.
  4. Top three bins by volume become HVNs. Bottom three become LVNs, where breakouts tend to accelerate through low-resistance areas.
  5. Sweep markers fire when a wick pierces an HVN boundary and the body closes the other side.
  6. POC drift in ATR units is tracked across interval boundaries. Imbalance is the absolute net signed volume divided by total volume.


Reading the chart
  • Heatmap boxes for each bin, transparency-modulated by relative volume share. Smart-money weighting tints them mint or red according to net flow direction.
  • POC dashed horizontal line extends across the visible chart with a right-edge price label that includes the inter-interval drift in ATR units.
  • VAH and VAL dashed lines with right-edge labels.
  • Three HVN full-width zones with right-edge price and volume labels.
  • Three LVN border-only highlights (visually distinct from filled HVN).
  • HTF interval boundary dotted vertical lines (capped to last 20 intervals).
  • Per-interval sentiment timeline labels above each historical interval's high.
  • Liquidity sweep labels at sweep wicks (for example SWEEP 4520.50).
  • Inter-interval POC drift trail (capped to last 10 segments).
  • Right-side 30-segment vertical bias gauge with horizontal sight-line and pointer label.


Signals
  • Bullish / bearish liquidity sweep
  • Bullish / bearish POC drift
  • HVN touch
  • HVN rotation (top-3 ordering changed between intervals)
  • Profile imbalance bull / bear (net signed volume crosses the threshold)
  • VAH / VAL touch and Value Area reclaim (up / down breakouts)

All gated on barstate.isconfirmed or barstate.ishistory. No future references.

Inputs
  • HTF Profile: higher timeframe selector, profile resolution, intensity scale, show heatmap, show POC, show HVN.
  • Cross-Interval: HTF interval markers, sentiment timeline, POC trail, LVN bands, sweep labels, gauge, sentiment label, Value Area, HVN zones, imbalance threshold.
  • Sweep: detection toggle.
  • Visual: bullish / bearish colors, intensity scale.
  • Dashboard: position, size.


How traders use this
  • HVN reactions: the top-three HVN zones are the levels most likely to attract price retests. Look for rejections or breakouts at these levels.
  • LVN acceleration: when price enters a low-volume bin, expected travel speed is faster. These are thin-air zones useful for measured-move targets.
  • Sweep then reclaim: a bull sweep where price wicks below an HVN and closes above is a classic stop-hunt-then-reverse pattern.
  • POC drift: a series of mint trail segments showing upward POC migration across multiple HTF intervals is a structural up-trend signal independent of price action on the LTF.
  • Value Area: trading within Value Area is range / rotation behavior. Trading outside is trend / discovery behavior.


Limitations
  • The profile is built from local LTF bars within an HTF interval. Resolution and quality scale with how many LTF bars fit in the HTF window. Daily HTF with 1-minute LTF gives the richest profile.
  • Smart-money weighting via NVI is a proxy. It is not a substitute for true tick-level order-flow data.
  • HVN / LVN selection is recomputed each bar and may shift as new volume arrives within an interval. Once the interval closes the profile is locked.
  • For very illiquid instruments the profile is sparse and the levels are less informative.


Compatibility
Pine Script v6 open-source indicator. Any symbol with volume data. HTF must be strictly higher than the chart timeframe. No external request.security calls. Non-repainting: signals fire on confirmed bars.

Defaults
Daily HTF, 30 bins, mint / red palette, top-right medium dashboard. For higher resolution increase the bin count. For noisier instruments raise the imbalance threshold.
