Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP) – FX Replay Guide
The FRVP in FX Replay is a powerful volume visualization tool that maps where volume occurred within a selected time range. It helps uncover true support/resistance, liquidity zones, and reaction points—perfect for building high-confluence trade plans during backtesting.
How to Use It in FX Replay
Activate FRVP:
- Use the Fixed Range Volume Profile drawing tool.
- Click and drag to define your range (e.g., from NY Open to end of session).
- FX Replay will display:
- POC (Point of Control): highest volume node.
- Volume bars at each price level.
- Value Area (usually 70% of total volume).
- HVNs (High Volume Nodes) and LVNs (Low Volume Nodes).
Analyze the Profile:
- POC = Most accepted price → strong magnet for retests or reversals.
- HVN = Volume bulge = strong support/resistance → price often consolidates or bounces here.
- LVN = Volume gap → price may slice through quickly (good for breakout plays).
Trading Applications:
Bounce Setup:
- Price retraces into POC or HVN → watch for entry confirmation.
Breakout Setup:
- Price breaks through LVN → target next HVN or POC for exit.
Stop Placement:
- Longs: Place stops below HVNs.
- Shorts: Place stops above HVNs.
Session Integration:
Use FRVP on key intraday windows:
- London Session
- New York Session
- Asia range
This reveals how volume redistributes across sessions—great for pinpointing when trends may initiate or stall.
Pro Tip:
In FX Replay, use FRVP as a location-based confluence tool:
Combine it with:
- SMMA for trend context
- VWAP for bias filtering
- Liquidity zones for timing
Tag trades in your journal like:
- “HVN bounce entry”
- “LVN breakout to next node”
- “POC flip and retest”
This builds structure-driven consistency, not guesswork.
