Price-by-Volume Profile Construction

A production-minded guide to Price-by-Volume Profile Construction.

Price-by-Volume Profile ConstructionD08 / D08-F06

Build an auditable price-by-volume histogram from exact finalized trades without inventing intrabar allocation.

The decision this tutorial makes visible

For market-data engineers and quantitative analysts, the first reliability question is provenance: which finalized print contributed how much volume to which exact price row?

The precise question is: How is finalized trade volume accumulated into deterministic, tick-aligned price bins?

A practitioner needs to know what the diagnostic does and does not justify. A builder needs a contract that can be reproduced from the same point-in-time inputs in Python, TypeScript, a visual, and a browser lab.

Intuition before notation

Rotate the usual time-volume view: every eligible trade contributes its full volume to exactly one price row.

The result depends on the declared algorithm scope, input clocks, units, equality and rounding policies, and unsupported-state treatment. Change one of those and the output represents a different decision even when its field name is unchanged.

Synthetic teaching inputEvery displayed price, trade, profile, touch, bar, zone, and instrument snapshot is repository-authored.datasets/canonical-input.json and scenario-results.jsonNo value is presented as an observed security or provider record.
Author-derived calculationThe canonical fixture produces a reconciled tick-aligned profile whose row volumes sum to total eligible volume.Formula, expected output, examples, and cross-language parityCalculation correctness does not establish predictive or economic value.

The authoritative sources support only the exact facts named in the claim ledger. They do not certify the synthetic numbers in this tutorial. The repository fixture is deliberately invented for auditability, and the displayed output is author-derived under the selected implementation choice.

Formula, symbols, and numerical policy

  • Prices and tolerances share one currency, adjustment basis, and tick table.
  • a price exactly on a bin boundary enters the upper half-open bin.
  • Published values use full-precision calculation and explicit display rounding; no hidden epsilon changes a decision.
  • Ties are broken deterministically and preserved in the audit output.

Read the formula in the same order as the algorithm. Validate identity, ordering, units, and supported state first. Apply the selected equality and window rules second. Calculate with unrounded numeric values. Round only at the declared presentation boundary, and preserve null as a diagnostic rather than coercing it to zero.

Build the algorithm

  1. Validate ordered unique finalized trades against window_end
  2. Convert each price to an integer tick index
  3. Map the tick index to one half-open bin
  4. Accumulate positive trade volume and retain empty-print diagnostics
  5. Sort rows and reconcile shares to eligible total volume

Production-minded operational checklist

  1. Reconcile sum(row.volume) to total_volume and count zero-volume prints separately.
  2. Partition by instrument, venue/session, currency, interval, and adjustment basis.
  3. Persist code version, source records, inputs, output diagnostics, and tie decisions.
  4. Evaluate empirical association separately with costs, leakage controls, and out-of-sample data.

The checklist is intentionally strict: an explicit rejection is safer than a plausible output built from stale, malformed, or unsupported state.

Worked synthetic example

The canonical fixture is synthetic teaching data, not an observed control event, customer order, or broker execution. Its primary author-derived output, rows, is a reconciled tick-aligned profile whose row volumes sum to total eligible volume. The complete input and output are in datasets/canonical-input.json and datasets/expected-output.json.

The labeled synthetic canonical fixture applies k_i = floor(round(p_i / tau) / w); V_k = sum(q_i for trades i in bin k) and returns a reconciled tick-aligned profile whose row volumes sum to total eligible volume. The expected JSON is generated once from the frozen contract and independently checked in both language implementations.

Counterfactual checkpoint

Price-by-Volume Profile Construction boundary case. Change bin width or session and the profile rows change even though the trades do not. The output changes because Reproducibility requires counterfactual behavior at the boundary.

The structured result retains state and diagnostics in addition to the primary number. That makes the calculation independently reviewable and prevents a partial, null, rejected, or venue-bounded outcome from being mistaken for an unqualified value.

Boundary and counterexample workbook

The playground computes every scenario at 61 deterministic parameter states. The table uses the declared focus step and states whether that focus reproduces the canonical fixture. The full state ledger and compressed transition segments are in datasets/scenario-results.json.

These rows are not backtest observations. They are controlled counterexamples that expose how one driver changes the state, output, or reason code while the rest of the contract stays fixed.

Implementation walkthrough

The Python and TypeScript references begin with the same validation contract, reject malformed and unsupported state before calculation, preserve declared ordering and rounding policies, and return structured diagnostics rather than one context-free number.

The main implementation branches are:

  • Input or clock contract fails — Reject, because A precise output would be misleading.
  • a price exactly on a bin boundary enters the upper half-open bin — Apply the declared equality/tie policy, because Boundary behavior must be reproducible.
  • Valid evidence does not satisfy the algorithm — Return a valid rejection, empty set, or nonconfirmed state, because Absence is different from invalid data.
  • All required conditions pass — Return the structured result and diagnostics, because The frozen contract is satisfied.

Neither reference silently fetches data, mutates caller-owned inputs outside the declared engine behavior, guesses hidden state, or substitutes a provider default. Shared JSON fixtures make value, null, state, and reason-code drift visible across languages.

Testing and validation

Definition tests compare every canonical field, reject malformed state, and exercise the material boundary. Family validation recomputes every playground state from the reference function. Independent arithmetic is recorded beside the fixture rather than inferred only from implementation output.

The audit must preserve these invariants:

  • Return a named state rather than a bare scalar when decisions are sequential.
  • Preserve source IDs, members, expansion order, component scores, or state transitions where applicable.
  • Keep point-in-time cutoffs and selected parameters beside the output.
  • Separate invalid input from a valid nonmatch, rejection, or empty eligible result.

Passing definition and parity checks proves that the implementation matches the selected contract. It does not prove production performance, universal applicability, or a later market outcome.

Failure modes and misuse

  • Aggregated OHLCV bars cannot reproduce this exact-trade profile without an explicit allocation model.
  • Platform and analyst conventions can produce different results from the same chart.
  • A recognized level interaction is not evidence of future association or economic value.
  • The output is educational analytics, not investment advice or an order instruction.

Debugging order

When a result looks surprising, inspect the state in this order:

  1. Confirm identifiers, scope, side, and decision clock.
  2. Confirm units, ordering, and point-in-time inputs.
  3. Confirm equality, rounding, null, and reset policies.
  4. Recalculate the invariant and declared scenario focus before changing code.

Evidence and historical boundary

Historical decision: not useful. A named chart occurrence would add narrative appeal without improving reproducibility. Classification changes with provider, session, adjustment basis, tick table, anchors, thresholds, and the point-in-time record available to the detector.

The primary sources are TradingView volume-profile concepts, TradingView session profile, Lo–Mamaysky–Wang. They support the source roles listed in the research ledger, not a redistributable historical observation, a private participant decision, production conformance certification, execution-quality result, profitability claim, or prediction claim.

Summary and next topic

You can now implement, inspect, and validate Price-by-Volume Profile Construction with its full topic-specific audit evidence. The learning flow is: Market-Wide Divergence Scanner and Ranking → Price-by-Volume Profile Construction → Point of Control, Value Area, HVN, and LVN Detection. Carry the result forward only with its scope, clock, state, and evidence label.

Takeaway: Every eligible print lands in exactly one declared price row, and the row ledger must reconcile to the tape.
