LogikPricePoint
Choose the pricethat drives
your indicator.
Look inside each bar. Turn volume, trade activity, and time at price into a price series you can use with compatible indicators.
- 14 price outputs to explore
- Follow concentration, balance, or late-bar activity
- Compare the same indicator using a different input
Same indicator.
A different starting point.
An average of Close follows where bars finish. An average of Volume Balance follows the middle of each bar’s volume distribution. The receiving indicator keeps its calculation; you choose what feeds it.
Select your price
Start with POC, Volume Balance, Closing Activity Price, or another output that answers your question.
Use it as the input
Select the PricePoint output in an indicator that supports an alternate input series.
Keep the settings consistent
Compare with the same indicator using Close. See how the chosen measurement changes the resulting series.
The receiving indicator must use its selected input. Indicators that read their own OHLC data may not respond to an input substitution.
Find the center
of activity.
A bar’s last trade is only one price. Explore where its volume concentrated, where its central activity region ended, and what its volume-weighted average price was.
- Point of Control (POC)
- The price with the greatest volume—or the most reported trades when count weighting is selected.
- Value Area High / Low
- The upper and lower boundaries of your selected share of activity, accumulated outward from POC.
- Volume Centroid
- The volume-weighted average price inside the bar: a per-bar VWAP.
- Most Activity
- The busiest price by reported trade count, independent of trade size.
When to use it. Feed POC into an average to follow how the location of concentrated activity moves across bars.
Most Activity requires tick data and shares its definition with trade-count POC.
Follow the middle.
See the spread.
Choose landmarks based on cumulative volume from the lowest traded price to the highest. These prices describe the distribution without relying on its average or its busiest level.
- Volume Balance
- The first price where cumulative volume reaches 50% of the bar’s total.
- Lower / Upper Volume Quarter Points
- The corresponding prices at 25% and 75% of cumulative volume.
When to use it. Use an average of Volume Balance, then compare separate averages of the quarter points to explore the distribution’s width.
Percentile boundaries differ from a POC-centered value area. Multiple percentiles can land at the same price.
Where did activity
finish?
Focus on a selected portion of the activity inside a bar. Follow its final volume or isolate reported trades that meet your size threshold.
- Closing Activity Price
- The volume-weighted price of the final selected fraction of bar volume. Start with the last 20%, or set your own percentage.
- Large Trade Average
- The volume-weighted price of reported trades at or above your chosen size threshold.
When to use it. Compare an average of Closing Activity Price with an average of Volume Centroid to explore late activity versus the whole bar.
Large Trade Average requires tick data. Reported size depends on the data feed; it does not identify an institution. No qualifying trades means no measured value.
Measure persistence.
Beyond volume.
Duration and traded volume answer different questions. Explore which last-traded price stayed in effect longest and where the average price sat when weighted by that elapsed time.
- Longest Stay
- The price with the most accumulated time between trades, including repeated visits.
- Time Center
- The average last-traded price weighted by measured duration inside the bar.
When to use it. Compare Time Center with Volume Centroid to see how duration weighting differs from volume weighting.
Tick data required. Measurement starts at the first trade inside each bar and ends at bar close. The opening interval before that trade is excluded. Quiet time counts as duration, not proof of trading interest.
Separate rising
and falling activity.
Use last-trade price changes to classify activity within each bar. Then examine where each directional group has its strongest concentration.
- Uptick POC
- The highest-weight price among trades classified by upward price movement.
- Downtick POC
- The highest-weight price among trades classified by downward price movement.
When to use it. Compare separate averages of Uptick POC and Downtick POC to follow where the two classifications concentrate.
Tick data required. Classification starts neutral in each bar and carries through unchanged prices after a direction exists. These are uptick/downtick measures, not bid/ask aggression. A missing side has no measured price.
Choose your source.
Know what it measures.
Trade-level inputs
Use reported price, volume, order, and timestamps to access all 14 outputs.
One-second profiles
Explore a close-allocated approximation of volume concentration, distribution, and closing activity.
One-minute profiles
Use the same aggregate approach on compatible chart intervals of one minute or longer.
All three source series load in the current version. Selecting an aggregate source does not remove tick-history requirements.
Which charts does the current version support?
Minute and second charts using Last data, with PricePoint and the receiving indicator calculating on bar close. Range, Renko, tick, and custom primary charts are not supported by the current development version.
How do the source choices differ?
Tick mode uses reported trades. One-second and one-minute sources allocate each source bar’s volume to its close, so their price profiles are approximations. The source interval must divide the chart interval.
Which outputs need tick data?
Most Activity, trade-count weighting, Uptick/Downtick POC, Large Trade Average, Longest Stay, and Time Center require tick data. Volume distribution and closing-activity outputs also support aggregate approximations.
Will it work with every indicator?
Use a receiving indicator that honors its selected price input. Third-party compatibility needs checking; indicators that use internal OHLC or other market-data reads may not use the substituted series.
What happens when data is missing?
PricePoint withholds values when source volume does not match the chart bar. Outputs with no qualifying trades remain unavailable rather than substituting an unrelated price.
What should I know before release?
This page describes the current development build. Live-chart versus F5 refresh equivalence remains an acceptance test. No non-repainting or verified refresh-equality claim is being made.
