What is Liquidity Sentiment Profile?
Liquidity Sentiment Profile puts the price areas where market participants concentrate and the balance between buying and selling — sentiment — in a single view on MT5. It has no signals; it is a market-context display.
Like a volume profile, it displays trading density and automatically detects high-liquidity, buyer-dominant, and seller-dominant zones. These zones can be used when looking for support and resistance candidates or possible turning points, and when judging the strength of a breakout.
How to use Liquidity Sentiment Profile
The histogram and the zone shading make resistance areas easy to see.
When Level of Significance is turned on, the price level the market is watching is drawn as a red line.
Liquidity Sentiment Profile presents liquidity — where trading concentrates — and sentiment — the balance between buying and selling — as a single profile. It draws a volume-style profile by price band on the right side of the chart, and its colors distinguish buyer-dominant, seller-dominant, average, and high-liquidity areas.
Zones with heavy trading at a price level tend to work as support or resistance and are thought to be levels that market participants watch. In a buyer-heavy zone, a failed push higher can lead to a sharp drop, while a seller-heavy zone can see a rebound — so the profile also helps when looking for possible turning points.
When a breakout occurs, the sentiment just before it helps you judge whether the move may continue: buyer dominance points to a possible strong continuation higher, and seller dominance to a possible continuation lower.
The basic approach is to wait for price to reach a liquidity zone, then check candlestick reversal patterns and the strength of the move. The tool suits both trend-following and counter-trend approaches, and its many settings let you adjust the profile's depth, display range, and thresholds.
