volume is information against time dimention while volume profile is information against price.
Hey @Anonymous15,
As mentioned by @Saurabh Pandey14, the Volume indicator is used against time. It shows the trading volume for a particular day or for a time frame. For example, how much trade has taken place over a duration of 5 mins time.
Whereas, Volume Profile Indicator shows the amount of volume for a particular price range. Say, how much volume has been traded for 100/- over a month.
Volume can be an indicator of market strength, as rising markets on increasing volume are typically viewed as strong and healthy. On the other hand, Volume profile indicator helps determine a security’s price direction and strength of price change.
Hope this clarifies! :)
