Volume remains one of the most powerful yet underused tools in Forex. The Volume at Price (VAP) Indicator for MetaTrader 5 brings modern flexibility to volume analysis by combining Price Action with automatic pattern detection. Designed for traders using VSA, Smart Money Concepts, or pure price action, this tool simplifies identifying key market behavior.
Key Features
1. Automatic Pattern Detection
The VAP indicator recognizes a library of volume-price action patterns, including:
- Upthrust / Reverse Upthrust
- Pseudo Upthrust / Pseudo Reverse Upthrust
- Stopping Volume High / Low
- Buying Climax High / Selling Climax Low
- High Churn
- No Supply Low / No Demand High
- Strength A / B, Weakness A / B
Each pattern is labeled directly on the chart and in the indicator panel for quick recognition.
2. Four Display Modes
- VSA Mode: Classic Volume Spread Analysis
- PVA Mode: Price-Volume Alignment
- Classic Mode: Traditional bar-based visualization
- Delta Mode: Highlights directional volume imbalances
The “A” button lets you label bars, minimizing clutter while keeping focus on price-volume interactions.
3. Volume Forecasting
- Predicts potential volume behavior for upcoming bars based on historical activity
- Fully customizable settings allow traders to fine-tune forecasts for their strategy
Practical Trading Applications
- Identify exhaustion points (e.g., Buying Climax, Selling Climax)
- Spot accumulation or distribution zones (No Supply / No Demand patterns)
- Confirm Trend Strength or weakness through Strength/Weakness patterns
- Integrate with Smart Money or VSA strategies for structured entries and exits
Unlike traditional indicators, the VAP does not generate buy/sell arrows—it empowers traders to read market context, structure, and order flow visually.

With pattern detection, multiple display modes, and volume forecasting, it provides actionable insight for traders seeking to understand market behavior beyond basic price action.
