Point of Control (POC) Migration Across Sessions

One session's point of control is a snapshot, six of them connected in a row show whether the market is actually relocating or just sitting still.

Watch the POC path, then call the next two

Six sequential sessions play out left to right, each one building its own real candles and its own real volume-at-price histogram, shaded directly behind that session's candles with the point of control marked as a dashed line. A path below connects each session's real POC to the next, showing the actual migration so far. Four sessions reveal up front, then call Migrating if you think the POC keeps moving the same way, or Balancing if you think it settles down, before the last two sessions show their hand.

How it works

  1. Each session builds its own real volume profile. Every bar's volume gets bucketed into the price level it traded at, and the price level with the most accumulated volume is that session's point of control.
  2. Four sessions reveal first, and the POC path connects them. The dots and line under the charts are the real POC values in sequence, nothing about that path is decorative.
  3. You call Migrating or Balancing off the pattern of dots so far, before anything else is shown. The tool tells you how many consecutive same-direction moves led into that call.
  4. The last two sessions play out and grade the call against the real path. Every result gets filed by how long the streak was when you made the call, building a running accuracy table by streak length.

Where this breaks

POC migration is a backward-looking read, and streaks stall without warning

Every dot on that path is built entirely from a session that has already finished, there is nothing forward-looking about it at all. A real migration streak can run out of room and settle into balance on the very next session with no warning whatsoever, which is exactly what the streak-length table above is built to expose. If a genuine edge exists here, it should show up early, one or two consecutive moves ahead of the call, and it should fade rather than strengthen once the streak stretches past two or three sessions in a row. Betting harder on a longer streak is betting against the most likely single outcome for point of control, which is that it simply pauses.
