Streamline Your Analysis with the Auto Anchored Volume Profile

Volume is the lifeblood of the market, telling us where the action is really happening. In a recent tutorial, TradingView introduced a game-changing tool for traders who love volume analysis but want a faster workflow: the Auto Anchored Volume Profile (AAVP).

This tool takes the manual work out of drawing volume profiles, automatically selecting the most relevant starting points for your chart. Here is a breakdown of how it works and how to customize it for your trading style.

What is the Auto Anchored Volume Profile?

Standard volume profiles require you to manually click a start and end point. The Auto Anchored Volume Profile is smart—it automatically places a volume profile on your chart based on the data you are currently viewing.

Whether you are looking at a monthly chart of Bitcoin or a daily chart of Apple, the tool instantly calculates volume distribution from a logical starting point, such as the beginning of the year, the current quarter, or a significant high/low.

How to Find It

Getting started is simple:

1. Open the Indicators menu at the top of your TradingView chart.
2. Select Technicals and then Profiles.
3. Click on Auto Anchored Volume Profile.

Once added, you will see horizontal volume bars extending from the left or right of your price action, showing you exactly at which price levels the most trading has occurred.

The Power of “Auto” Anchors

The real magic happens in the Inputs settings. By double-clicking the indicator, you can access the Anchor Period. This setting defines the starting point for the volume calculation. Options include:

• Auto: The default setting that intelligently picks a start point based on your current timeframe.
• Earnings: Automatically anchors the profile to the most recent earnings report—incredibly useful for stock traders to see how price has reacted since that event.
• Highest High / Lowest Low: Anchors the profile from the highest or lowest price point visible or over a set period.
• Quarter / Year: Perfect for higher timeframe analysis to see volume distribution for the current year or quarter.

Customizing Your View

Just like other volume tools, the AAVP is fully customizable to fit your visual preferences and data needs:

1. Rows vs. Ticks

You can control the granularity of the volume bars.

• Rows Layout: Define a set number of rows (e.g., 24) to aggregate data into larger blocks.
• Ticks Per Row: For precision traders, this calculates volume based on individual transactions, allowing for a much more detailed view of price levels.

2. Volume Breakdown

By default, the tool often shows Up/Down Volume, allowing you to see buying pressure versus selling pressure within each bar. You can switch this to Total if you prefer a cleaner look that just shows aggregate volume.

3. Key Levels

The tool highlights critical data points that act as potential support and resistance:

• Point of Control (POC): The specific price level with the absolute highest volume (often a white or yellow line).
• Value Area: The range where a specific percentage (usually 70%) of all volume occurred. You can adjust this percentage to narrow or widen your focus.

Conclusion

The Auto Anchored Volume Profile is a “set it and forget it” tool that brings professional-grade volume analysis to your chart with a single click. By automatically anchoring to key dates like earnings or yearly opens, it saves you time and ensures you are always looking at the most relevant data for your timeframe.
