Advanced Quantower setups featuring Volume Profile and CVD for high-probability trading signals.

Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)

Quantower delivers comprehensive CVD via the Time Statistics panel and custom indicators. Filter by trade size or employ bar-by-bar cumulative delta to identify precise divergences.

CVD Divergence Setups

• Bullish: Price forms a lower low while CVD creates a higher low (hidden buying pressure).
• Bearish: Price achieves a higher high but CVD forms a lower high (exhaustion).

Volume Profile Mastery

• Session, Visible Range, Fixed Range, and Composite profiles.
• Highlight Value Area, Point of Control (POC), and High-Volume Nodes.

Pro Workflow

Cluster Chart + Volume Profile + CVD line in a single workspace for full order flow confirmation.
