How to build a candlestick chart with volume profile

Candlestick + volume profile

A candlestick chart shows OHLC price action. A volume profile shows the distribution of trading volume at each price level. Together, they reveal where price spent the most time and where large positions were built.

Building from raw data

Upload any OHLCV CSV. Quadesto renders candlesticks natively, and the volume profile can be added as an overlay showing horizontal volume bars at each price level.

Why this matters

Volume profile highlights high-volume nodes (HVN) where price consolidates, and low-volume nodes (LVN) where price moves quickly. These act as support and resistance levels.
