User-Defined Volume Average Comparison

The User-Defined Volume Average Comparison indicator empowers traders to analyze volume trends by comparing short-term and long-term volume moving averages. With customizable periods, visual cues, and built-in alerts, it’s a versatile tool for identifying volume-driven market shifts across any timeframe, ideal for stocks, forex, crypto, and more.Key Features: Customizable Periods: Set short and long periods (in bars) to match your trading strategy.

Conditional Highlighting:
Green Background: Short-period volume average ≥ long-period volume average, signaling strong short-term volume.
Red Background: Short-period volume average < long-period volume average / 2, indicating low short-term volume.

Optional Labels: Toggle labels to display conditions on the chart (default: off).
Alerts: Receive notifications for key conditions: “Short ≥ Long Alert” for high volume periods.
“Short < Long/2 Alert” for low volume periods.

Visualized Averages: Plots short-period (blue) and long-period (red) volume moving averages for easy analysis.

How It Works:
The indicator calculates the simple moving average (SMA) of volume over user-defined short and long periods, then compares them: A green background and alert trigger when the short-period average meets or exceeds the long-period average, suggesting increased volume activity.
A red background and alert trigger when the short-period average falls below half of the long-period average, indicating reduced volume.
Labels (if enabled) display “Short ≥ Long” or “Short < Long/2” for clarity.

Settings: Short Period (Bars): Number of bars for the short-term volume average (default: 3).
Long Period (Bars): Number of bars for the long-term volume average (default: 50).
Show Labels: Enable or disable condition labels (default: off).

Use Cases: Trend Confirmation: Use green alerts to confirm high volume during breakouts or trend continuations.
Divergence Detection: Identify low volume periods with red alerts to spot potential reversals or weak trends.
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: Apply on any timeframe (e.g., 4H, 1D), with periods based on bars (e.g., 3 bars on 4H = 12 hours).

Notes: Periods are based on the chart’s timeframe (bars). For shorter timeframes, consider increasing period values for more significant results.
Set alerts to “Once Per Bar Close” for reliable notifications.
