Volume Profile Advanced determines key market profile metrics, including the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and a developing POC trajectory. Visual histogram bars illustrate buy and sell volume splits across configurable price rows. Traders can adjust session timeframes, lookback counts, value area percentages, and line extensions to analyze dynamic support, resistance, and high-volume price zones.
