Volume Flow Bubbles [SunnyAlgo]

# Volume Flow Bubbles [SunnyAlgo]

## What This Indicator Shows

This indicator visualizes **order flow** by displaying buy and sell volume as colored bubbles directly on your chart. It uses Lower Timeframe (LTF) data to show granular volume activity within each candle.

Perfect for **scalping** and **intraday trading** on any timeframe including Range bars.

## How to Read the Bubbles

### Colors
- **Green bubbles** = Buying pressure (bulls absorbing at lows)
- **Red bubbles** = Selling pressure (bears distributing at highs)

### Size
Bubble size reflects volume magnitude:

| Size | Volume Level |
|------|--------------|
| Huge | ≥70% of bar's max volume |
| Large | 40-70% |
| Normal | 20-40% |
| Small | 10-20% |
| Tiny | <10% |

### Position
- Buy bubbles appear **near the low** of each LTF candle (where buyers stepped in)
- Sell bubbles appear **near the high** (where sellers distributed)

## Tips for Best Results

1. **Look for size clusters** - Multiple large bubbles at same price = institutional interest
2. **Watch color dominance** - More green = buyers winning, more red = sellers winning
3. **Combine with support/resistance** - Bubbles at key levels are more significant
4. **Use on liquid markets** - Works best on high-volume instruments
5. **Enable "Bring to Front"** - In TradingView visual settings for best bubble visibility

## How It Works

The indicator fetches lower timeframe candle data and splits each candle's volume into:
- **Buy Volume** = (Close - Low) / (High - Low) x Volume
- **Sell Volume** = (High - Close) / (High - Low) x Volume

This approximates order flow based on where price closed within the candle range.
