Visible Range Volume Profile (VPVR) – FX Replay Guide
While FX Replay doesn’t currently offer a built-in live VPVR overlay, you can simulate VPVR behavior using the Fixed Range Volume Profile (FRVP) and volume analysis tools. This lets you uncover real-time support/resistance, high-volume nodes (HVNs), and breakout potential across trading sessions.
How to Simulate VPVR in FX Replay
Use the FRVP Tool:
- Open the Fixed Range Volume Profile drawing tool.
- Drag from your start to end point within the visible chart area.
- You’ll see:
- POC (Point of Control)
- HVNs / LVNs (High/Low Volume Nodes)
- Value Area (typically 70% of total volume)
Identify Key Price Levels
- High Volume Nodes (HVNs)
→ Strong support/resistance zones
→ Price often consolidates or reacts here. - Low Volume Nodes (LVNs)
→ Thin liquidity zones
→ Price often slices through quickly = breakout opportunity.
Trade Entry/Exit Concepts
- Entry Setup:
Price enters Value Area or HVN and shows reaction → look for confirmation and enter. - Exit / Take Profit:
Target LVNs or edge of Value Area → especially effective during high volatility. - Breakout Confirmation:
Look for a volume spike as price breaks Value Area → confirms directional move.
Replay Sessions for Context
Use FRVP during:
- London or NY Sessions
- Pre-Breakout Zones
- High-impact News Windows
You’ll replicate VPVR-like behavior by analyzing session-specific volume structure.
Pair With FX Replay Tools
Combine FRVP with:
- VWAP → Validate fair value vs. price location
- RSI / SMMA → Momentum and trend context
- Liquidity Zones / FVGs → Entry confirmation layers
Pro Tip:
You can mimic VPVR behavior by re-drawing FRVP as you pan, zoom, or scroll through FX Replay.
Ask yourself:
- “Is price in balance (Value Area) or in discovery (breakout)?”
- “Am I trading into a HVN wall or through a LVN void?”
These questions help you:
- Spot price magnets (POC)
- Avoid fakeouts near volume gaps
- Time entries with structure + context
Mastering FRVP like VPVR gives you volume-driven clarity, even without a real-time overlay.
