VWAP Volume Profile [BigBeluga]

🔵 OVERVIEW
VWAP Volume Profile [BigBeluga] is an advanced hybrid of the VWAP and volume profile concepts. It visualizes how volume accumulates relative to VWAP movement—separating rising (+VWAP) and declining (−VWAP) activity into two mirrored horizontal profiles. It highlights the dominant price bins (POCs) where volume peaked during each directional phase, helping traders spot hidden accumulation or distribution zones.

🔵 CONCEPTS

• VWAP-Driven Profiling: Unlike standard volume profiles, this tool segments volume based on VWAP movement—accumulating positive or negative volume depending on VWAP slope.
  
• Dual-Sided Profiles: Profiles expand horizontally to the right of price. Separate bins show rising (+) and falling (−) VWAP volume.
  
• Bin Logic: Volume is accumulated into defined horizontal bins based on VWAP’s position relative to price ranges.
  
• Gradient Coloring: Volume bars are colored with a dynamic gradient to emphasize intensity and direction.
  
• POC Highlighting: The highest-volume bin in each profile type (+/-) is marked with a transparent box and label.
  
• Contextual VWAP Line: VWAP is plotted and dynamically colored (green = rising, orange = falling) for instant trend context.
  
• Candle Overlay: Price candles are recolored to match the VWAP slope for full visual integration.
  

🔵 FEATURES

• Dual-sided horizontal volume profiles based on VWAP slope.
  
• Supports rising VWAP [+], falling VWAP [−], or both simultaneously.
  
• Customizable number of bins and lookback period.
  
• Dynamically colored VWAP line to show rising/falling bias.
  
• POC detection and labeling with volume values for +VWAP and −VWAP.
  
• Candlesticks are recolored to match VWAP bias for intuitive momentum tracking.
  
• Optional background boxes with customizable styling.
  
• Adaptive volume scaling to normalize bar length across markets.
  

🔵 HOW TO USE

• Use POC zones to identify high-volume consolidation areas and potential support/resistance levels.
  
• Watch for shifts in VWAP direction and observe how volume builds differently during uptrends and downtrends.
  
• Use the gradient profile shape to detect accumulation (widening volume below price) or distribution (above price).
  
• Use candle coloring for real-time confirmation of VWAP bias.
  
• Adjust the profile period or bin count to fit your trading style (e.g., intraday scalping or swing trading).
  

🔵 CONCLUSION
VWAP Volume Profile [BigBeluga] merges two essential concepts—volume and VWAP—into a single, high-precision tool. By visualizing how volume behaves in relation to VWAP movement, it uncovers hidden dynamics often missed by traditional profiles. Perfect for intraday and swing traders who want a more nuanced read on market structure, trend strength, and volume flow.
