The Market Profile Trendlines Indicator for MT4 is a price action indicator that reveals the price distribution and accumulation phase in a trading session. It represents the price data of a financial instrument with a histogram, which depicts the distribution of trading activities in the market. A trend line is also attached to the indicator to help traders identify a breakout for buying or selling opportunities.
The histogram shows the Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA). The Point of Control (POC) is one of the most significant zones of interest because it captures the intensity of trading activity. Besides, it is also a support and resistance zone for price reversal. Therefore, the Point of Control (POC) tends to attract the price for a potential trend reversal. So, a forex trader may anticipate a trend reversal when the price returns to the POC.
Another level of interest is the Value Area (VA). It is a zone where different traders spend considerable trading time; therefore, it tends to act as a support/resistance level. Thus, the market may reverse when the price returns to the edge of the Value Area.
Features of the Indicator
This version of the Market Profile indicator is built with the trend lines to identify trend reversal/breakout trading opportunities. Furthermore, it shows the price distribution using the Point of Control and the Value Area zones, which are significant areas to look for trading opportunities.
