Overview
Stella's Volume Profile divides the high-low price range into discrete rows and accumulates volume to identify the Point of Control, representing the price level with the highest volume concentration. The script plots the Point of Control line directly on the price chart and provides alert conditions for price crossovers and crossunders. Key settings let users modify the lookback period, row height percentage, and volume power weighting.
- Volume distribution by price level
- Point of Control detection
- POC crossover and crossunder alerts
- Customizable lookback and row height parameters

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
