Adaptive Market Profile

Automatically finds the best-fit linear regression channel for the current trend and draws a volume profile inside it, so you can see at a glance which price levels have the most trading activity. No manual line drawing, no guessing the lookback period — the indicator scans 19 different periods and picks the one with the highest Pearson correlation coefficient.

The channel is built on linear regression with standard deviation bands. The indicator tests lookback windows from 50 to 400 bars and selects the period that best fits the current price action. The Pearson R value is displayed directly on the chart — the closer to +/-1, the stronger the trend fit and the more reliable the channel. Logarithmic scaling is supported for instruments with wide price ranges like gold and BTC.

The Market Profile component divides the channel into up to 25 horizontal price sections and counts the volume or touch frequency at each level. The result is a gradient-colored bar chart overlaid inside the channel. Deeper color and longer bars mean heavier trading activity at that price — these zones typically act as the strongest support and resistance levels. Two counting methods are available: Volume mode weights each bar by real or tick volume, while Touches mode simply counts how many candles reached each price level, which works well when your broker's tick volume data is unreliable.

Active Lines extend from the densest profile zones toward the right side of the chart, following the channel's slope direction. They serve as forward-looking support and resistance references. By default two lines are drawn, but you can configure more. These lines are not horizontal — they follow the trend angle, which makes them more useful than static levels in trending markets.

All drawing objects sit in the background layer and never cover your candlesticks. The indicator recalculates once per new bar (not every tick), keeping CPU usage minimal. Channel fill and profile colors automatically blend with your chart background, so the indicator looks clean on both dark and light themes.
