What this chart measures
This profile assigns each candle’s base volume to its typical price. It is an approximation, not a tick-level executed volume profile or proof of trading at every price in the candle.
Select the asset, exchange and timeframe before comparing readings. Each venue response is normalized to the selected spot market. The chart shows completed candles and labels snapshot age; missing or stale observations remain visibly unavailable.
Use the other evidence without conflating it
Current order-book depth represents displayed resting liquidity. Candle volume is completed activity over the selected interval. CMF and OBV are disclosed price-and-volume proxies. They are useful for describing different parts of an observation but do not identify whale holdings or guarantee a direction.
The detailed book below the chart lets you check quantities and quote notionals behind the overlay. Compare a proposed size against available displayed depth, then account separately for fees, price changes, cancellations and fragmented venue liquidity.
Controls and reproducibility
Change the visible range, zoom or pan, choose a secondary study and switch the price scale. Export the available data or a chart SVG to preserve a research record. Session liquidity data must first be collected or imported; chart history is not manufactured from price candles.
Use candle-volume levels as approximate references
The candle-based profile assigns each completed candle's base volume to its typical price: the average of high, low and close. That is a deliberate approximation. A candle does not reveal how its trades were distributed across prices, so the resulting buckets cannot reproduce a trade-by-trade volume-at-price profile or establish where particular participants bought.
The selected window and bucket width influence which price has the largest assigned volume. A different interval can also change the approximation because its candles combine trades differently. Compare profiles only after noting those settings. A visually important bucket can result from one high-volume candle rather than repeated trading at that exact price.
Use the profile to create a price-reference scenario, then check it against the actual question. A reference near the current market does not guarantee available depth or a low-cost fill. A reference far from the market does not assign a probability of price returning there. For execution review, use a file of actual fills and an appropriate benchmark rather than treating the approximate profile as ground truth.
Where enabled, the structure overlay also derives a point of control and a 70% value area from candle-volume buckets. These optional levels depend on the returned window and approximation. They are separate from the current order book, which reports resting quotes rather than previously executed volume.
