TPOC/VPOC System

What are TPOC & VPOC?

TPOC (time point of control) and VPOC ( volume (https://www.tradingview.com/scripts/volume/) point of control) are points in price where highest amount of time/ volume (https://www.tradingview.com/scripts/volume/) was traded. This is considered key information in a market profile, as it shows where market participant interest was highest. Unlike full fledged market profile that shows total time/ volume (https://www.tradingview.com/scripts/volume/) distribution, this script shows the points of control for each candle, plotted with a line (time) and a dot ( volume (https://www.tradingview.com/scripts/volume/) ). The script hides your candles/bars by default and forms a line in the middle representing candle range. In case of candles, borders will still be visible. This feature can be turned off in the settings.

Once you understand the concepts, you don't need any indicators on your chart.

How to utilize TPOC & VPOC

Example #1: Trapped market participants

One or both points of control at one end of candle range (wick tail) and candle close at the other end serves as an indication of market participants trapped in an awkward position. When price runs away further from these trapped participants, they are eventually forced to cover and drive price even further to the opposite direction:


Example #2: Trend initiation

A large move that leaves TPOC behind while VPOC is supportive serves as an indication of a trend initiation. Essentially, this is one way to identify an event where price traded sideways most of the time and suddenly moved away with volume:


Use VPOC & TPOC To Set TP/SL

Once you understand the concepts, you don't need any indicators on your chart.

Take smart setups. VPOC+TPOC makes you trade like the pros.

Potential short

Beautiful trade this time under the trend initiation logic, learned my lesson and took profit at heavy VPOC levels I saw to the left
Green line entry, red line exit, green box trend initiation logic, blue box VPOC resistance

ENTRY - TI (trend initiation logic) STOP - closest VPOC cluster





Take Profit:



It's easy boys!

???

sorry what part is confusing??! Just explaining logic for entry and tp

i do not see a tpo or cluster nor a vpoc

You gotta read the post!

VPOC = circles

TPOC = lines

VPOC Cluster = a bunch of circles in the same level

TP= Take profit, where i exit trade

It's after hours, but here's a TI setup happening
edit update



Once you learn these two setups, you'll be unstoppable!

here's a recent TI setup on NZDUSD 1H

if price breaks down past this vpoc cluster (resist) might short till next zone

entry not hit, trade abort

perfect trader opportunity

Learned something new. The Clusters really act as amazing s/r, and the area between them act as beautiful "areas to fill". So the best way to trade the trapped traders if you're not sure price will keep moving away from them is to use this area, as price will just fall through it.



circled in white are the clusters of VPOC's that when grouped signify there's heavy accumulation here and price will respect it.

but notice how when price breaks through the top cluster zone, it falls immediately to the bottom one. WE KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN because the "trapped traders" confluence.

You can see it again here. Same exact setup.

Beautiful thing to note, when the VPOC dots ascend, or descend nicely (curved lines) this is confirmation that this area is "area to fill"

My latest trade really highlights something.

these setups are only as good as VPOC clusters or support and resistance will let it be.

I saw the trapped traders, and new price would plummet down, but we had to wait for support to break before we entered the area to fill for easy profit

Beautiful fundamental trade to start the day

Same setup, really high success probability

trapped buyers at the top, break of structure, take trades inside area to fill
$316

This setup is GOATED

feel like i can clearly see the market
