The power of the Volume Point of Control (VPOC) indicator for MT5 lies in its ability to pinpoint the price level with the highest traded volume within a session, revealing where the market considers "fair value" and institutional activity is concentrated. In volume price analysis (VPA), VPOC acts as a magnet for price, often serving as strong support/resistance or a pivot for reversals and breakouts.
Developed as part of the Quantum Trading suite by Anna Coulling, this indicator on MT5 provides clear visual overlays, helping traders identify accumulation/distribution zones in forex, indices, and commodities. Whether spotting exhaustion at highs/lows or confirming trend strength, VPOC cuts through noise for precise decisions—ideal for day traders and scalpers seeking an edge in volatile sessions.

The Volume Point of Control Takes Centre Stage on the US Indices!
The Volume Point of Control (VPOC) takes centre stage on US indices. It marks the price with highest traded volume. This level acts as fair value. Price often returns here. Reactions reveal market intent.
In the US session for day trading the index futures, once again it was patience that was required in abundance as we waited for the inevitable breakaway which duly arrived later in the day. The primary indicator in this session was the volume point of control which as always gives a visual representation of the region of price agreement, with no bias in sentiment. This is the fulcrum of price action and works in all timeframes, denoting the heaviest concentration of volume on the price chart, combining as it does volume, price and time.
Any move away from the volume point of control is then confirmed with the linear price volume relationship as Wyckoffian principles then apply...
