[Amida-style: Master the Market with Volume Profile] Lesson 20: Flexible Volume Profile – The Advantage Brought by Flexibility
“To read genuine volume, you must not be bound by timeframes.”
? Recap from last time
In the previous article (Lesson 19), the Volume Profiles formed in seller-dominant environments or during fast price moves— B-profile and Thin profile— were explained. These tell you “where large players are not,” but to accurately know “where the truly large players were,” you need analysis focused on specific price ranges.
Enter Flexible Volume Profile (FVP).
What is Flexible Volume Profile?
Flexible Volume Profile (hereafter FVP) differs from the traditional daily/weekly profiles, in that you can select any period or price range to perform volume analysis using a customizable indicator.
Without being bound by timeframes, you can visualize only the “zones” you are focusing on with pinpoint accuracy.
✅ Benefits of FVP
1. Accurate analysis of the target zone
→ You can precisely measure pullbacks after a breakout, the center of a range, and the starting point of sudden moves.
2. Timeframe-independent analysis
→ It’s based on pure data of “price × volume” rather than candlestick time axes.
3. Excellent compatibility with price action
→ When combined with fakies, reversals, and stop-hunts, it improves judgment accuracy.
? How to use on TradingView
On TradingView, FVP can be used easily for free.
? Access TradingView:https://www.tradingview.com/chart/OYEnoQMo/
? Select currency pair or instrument
? Click the “Indicators” at the top of the screen

One tip:
The thicker parts of the profile (volume clusters) are traces of institutions
Thin areas are “low-liquidity zones” and are points that tend to be broken through
✅ Summary
Flexible Volume Profile is a very powerful tool that allows traders to focus only on the areas they want to analyze volume in. It is not just a “technical indicator,” but also a lens to read the intentions behind capital flows (Smart Money).
