Market Profile Value Area & POC Calculator

Paste each traded price level and its volume (one per line, as price,volume) to get the Point of Control (the price with the most volume) and the Value Area High/Low that contains a chosen percentage of total volume around it, the same logic used in Market Profile and volume profile charting.

Price,Volume per level (one per line)

Levels should be evenly spaced (e.g. every tick or every 0.25). Order doesn't matter.

Value Area % of total volume

70% is the standard Market Profile value area.

Total volume ···

Point of Control (POC) ···

Value Area High (VAH) ···

Value Area Low (VAL) ···

Value Area volume captured ···

Educational tool only, not financial advice. This calculator uses a standard two-sided expansion from the POC, adding whichever adjacent level has more volume at each step, until the target percentage of volume is captured. Check it against your own plan and risk rules before you trade it.
