Volume analysis tools
See what price alone can’t show. Analyze volume at price, compare buying and selling activity, and explore the trades behind each move with professional order flow tools built directly into Quantower
See Where Trading Activity Happens
Candles show where price moved. Volume shows where trading took place — which levels attracted activity, how buyers and sellers interacted, and where the balance began to shift.
Start with the broader volume picture, then move deeper into activity inside each bar and the trades behind it.
Volume Analysis From Profile to Footprint
Use different views of the same market activity without losing context
Footprint / Cluster Chart
Look inside each candle and see how volume traded at individual price levels. Compare Bid and Ask activity and highlight buying or selling imbalances where they occur
Volume Profile
Map volume across price and quickly see where trading activity is concentrated. Highlight high-volume areas, POC and Value Area to understand the distribution at a glance
Delta & Cumulative Delta
See which side is more aggressive, not just how much volume traded. Use Delta bar by bar or Cumulative Delta to follow how that balance changes as price moves
VWAP & Anchored VWAP
Keep a volume-weighted price reference directly on the chart. Use VWAP for the trading period or anchor it to a specific bar or event for a more focused view
Time Statistics & Histogram
Review volume activity from bar to bar with detailed statistics or a visual histogram
Historical Time & Sales
Go behind a historical bar and inspect the trades that formed it by price, volume and execution sequence
Switch Between Volume, Delta and Trade Data
The same price action can reveal different information depending on the data you use. Switch between Volume, Buy/Sell Volume, Delta, Cumulative Delta, Trades, trade size and other available data types to focus on what matters to your analysis.
Use the same data across Quantower’s Volume Analysis tools without rebuilding your chart.
