The Money Flow Profile Indicator for MetaTrader 5, developed by LuxAlgo, is an advanced tool that tracks money and volume flow across price levels. Unlike traditional volume indicators that only summarize activity per candle, this indicator maps where the heaviest transactions occur, revealing critical support, resistance, and Liquidity Zones.
Ideal for intraday and swing traders, it helps detect institutional accumulation and distribution areas, improving trade timing and confirmation for breakout or momentum setups.
How the Money Flow Profile Indicator Works
- Horizontal histogram: Displays volume/money flow distribution over a specified lookback range.
- High traded nodes (yellow): Represent areas of significant institutional activity, often acting as strong supply or demand zones.
- Low traded nodes (lighter shades): Indicate regions with low resistance where price may move quickly, supporting breakout opportunities.
- Sentiment color coding:
- Teal zones – dominant bullish/buy-side activity.
- IndianRed zones – dominant bearish/sell-side activity.
By aligning trades with transitions between dense (high volume) and thin (low volume) zones, traders can improve entry and exit timing while anticipating liquidity-driven price reactions.
