Tooltack Heat Map & Volume Scanner

A real-time liquidity heat map and volume surge scanner that reveals where smart money is active.

This professional TradingView indicator displays a 31-level liquidity heat map directly on the chart. Buy-side liquidity below price appears in green, while sell-side liquidity above price appears in red. The brightest band marks the high-volume Point of Control where price is more likely to react. A live dashboard tracks buy liquidity, sell liquidity, imbalance bias, and bullish versus bearish surge counts. Volume surge markers highlight abnormal participation, helping traders see where smart money may be positioning.

Overview

Heat Map & Volume Scanner is a TradingView indicator that maps liquidity and volume participation directly on the chart. It builds a 31-level horizontal volume profile and highlights buy-side liquidity in green and sell-side liquidity in red. The brightest zone marks the Point of Control, where the highest volume has traded and price may react. A Volume Momentum Scanner flags bullish and bearish volume surges with clear “V” markers and tooltips. The live dashboard tracks liquidity imbalance, surge counts, and dominant participation, helping traders filter setups with structure and volume confirmation.

Who It's For

Heat Map & Volume Scanner is built for traders who want to see where liquidity is positioned and when real volume participation appears. It suits day traders, swing traders, and position traders across forex, stocks, crypto, indices, futures, and commodities. Intermediate traders can use it as a more precise, volume-based support and resistance map. Advanced traders can use it for volume profile, order-flow, ICT-style analysis, and liquidity-based trade filtering. It works for discretionary chart reading and as a structural filter inside webhook-driven or automated workflows.

Why It's Useful

Heat Map & Volume Scanner gives traders a clear visual answer to where real support and resistance are located. Instead of guessing levels by eye, it shows the actual volume traded at each price using a color-ranked heat map. The Point of Control, liquidity imbalance, and buy-versus-sell pressure are updated live on the dashboard. The Volume Momentum Scanner helps confirm breakouts and rejections only when real participation appears. This saves time, reduces guesswork, and helps traders avoid buying into overhead supply or selling into strong support.

FAQ

What does this tool do?+

Heat Map & Volume Scanner builds a 31-level liquidity heat map across the chart that shows where volume has accumulated, painting buy-side liquidity below price in green and sell-side liquidity above price in red. It also runs a Volume Momentum Scanner that flags every bar with abnormal volume relative to its 20-bar average, marking bullish and bearish surges directly on the chart. A live dashboard in the top-right corner reports buy liquidity, sell liquidity, current imbalance bias, and surge counts.

Which markets does this tool support?+

The indicator is fully multi-asset. It works on forex pairs, stocks, ETFs, crypto, futures, indices, and commodities — anywhere TradingView provides price and volume data. Since the engine is driven by volume, it performs best on markets with reliable volume feeds such as futures, equities, and crypto.

Which timeframes can I use it on?+

All timeframes are supported, from 1-minute scalping charts up to weekly and monthly charts. Scalpers use it on 1m–5m to map intraday liquidity pockets, day traders on 5m–1H to identify session-level value areas, swing traders on 1H–Daily to plan entries around structural nodes, and position traders on Daily–Weekly to track long-term liquidity migration.

Is this tool beginner-friendly?+

The visual output is easy to read out of the box — green zones below price are support, red zones above price are resistance, and the brightest band is the high-volume Point of Control. Beginners can use it as a structural map immediately. Getting the most value from the imbalance metric, surge counts, and absorption logic is suited to intermediate and advanced traders.

How should I use this tool?+

Add it to your chart, then read the heat map first: bright green bands below price highlight buy-side liquidity to lean on, bright red bands above highlight sell-side liquidity to expect rejection from, and the brightest band of all marks the highest-volume node where price is most likely to react. Use the dashboard to confirm whether the current zone is dominated by buyers or sellers, and watch the surge markers for confirmation that participation is actually showing up before you commit to a trade.

Can I use this tool as a standalone trading system?+

No. Heat Map & Volume Scanner is a structural and participation filter, not a complete trading system. It tells you where price is likely to react and when volume is unusually active, but it does not generate stand-alone buy or sell signals. It should always be combined with directional bias, market structure analysis, and disciplined risk management.

What strategies can I apply with this tool?+

It fits volume-profile trading, supply-and-demand strategies, order-block and ICT-style approaches, breakout and breakout-retest strategies, mean-reversion plays into high-volume nodes, absorption and exhaustion setups, and any execution model that benefits from knowing exactly where liquidity sits.

Which other tools should I combine with it?+

Pair it with a trend-direction filter (such as a coloured moving average), momentum oscillators like RSI or MACD, volatility tools like ATR for stop sizing, a session or VWAP overlay for intraday context, and multi-timeframe screeners. The Heat Map provides the where, while these complementary tools provide the when and the why.

Does this tool guarantee profits?+

No. No trading tool can guarantee profits. Heat Map & Volume Scanner is a decision-support indicator; outcomes depend on the trader's strategy, risk management, market conditions, and discipline.
