Volume contour delivers precise MT5 volume profiling for clearer support and resistance levels

This Volume contour review in 2025 presents a focused performance analysis of an MT5 volume profile indicator designed to show where market activity concentrated across price. The first impression is its vertical left-side panel which occupies the full left chart area and persistently displays volume by price, enabling faster context checks without overlay clutter. In this review the analysis emphasizes numeric volume bars, session-based filters, and node highlights; these features together clarify where participants placed the most contracts during the selected period. The developer, Thabang John Wotsa, built Volume contour with a priority on readable visualization and low resource usage, and the indicator integrates with standard MT5 chart templates and custom timeframes. Volume contour is unique because it prioritizes traded volume over time-weighted price metrics and shows aggregated volume nodes clearly. The algorithm groups ticks into price bins and highlights high-volume nodes, then applies optional session splitting to isolate morning, midday, and closing activity. It performs best in liquid forex and major indices where tick volume correlates with market participation, and it handles trending and range-bound markets by giving equal weight to spikes and distributed volume areas. Risk considerations are external to the indicator; users must apply position sizing and stops. Expected performance characteristics are visualization-driven edge identification, improved level selection, and reduced false breakout confirmations when combined with price action discipline.
