DeltaFlow Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The DeltaFlow Volume Profile builds a compact volume profile next to price and enriches every bin with flow context : bullish vs. bearish participation (%), a per-bin Delta % , an optional Delta Heat Map , and a PoC band with the bin’s absolute volume. This lets you see not just where volume clustered, but who (buyers or sellers) dominated inside each price slice.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Binned Volume Profile : Price range over a user-defined LookBack is split into Bins ; each bin aggregates traded volume.
Bull/Bear Split : Within every bin, volume is separated by candle direction into Bull Volume and Bear Volume , then normalized to % of the bin’s displayed size.
Delta % : The difference between Bull % and Bear % for the bin. Positive = buyer dominance; negative = seller dominance.
Delta Heat Map : Bin background shading that scales with both total volume strength and delta bias.
PoC (Point of Control) : The most significant bin gets a PoC band and a label with its absolute volume.
🔵 FEATURES
Profile with Flow : A clean horizontal volume bar per bin plus stacked Bull % and Bear % .
Per-Bin Delta Label : A readable “Δ xx%” tag at the start of each bin shows dominance at a glance.
Delta Heat Map : Optional gradient that intensifies with higher volume and stronger delta.
PoC Highlight : Optional PoC band colored separately, labeled with absolute volume (e.g., “1.23M”).
Configurable Inputs : LookBack, number of Bins (10–100), toggles for Delta, Heat Map, Volume Bars, and PoC color.
Readable Colors : Separate inputs for bullish (volume +) and bearish (volume –) hues.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Set the window : Choose LookBack and Bins to balance detail vs. performance (more bins = finer resolution).
Enable “Volume Bars” to display the bull/bear split as two stacked percent bars inside each bin.
High Bull % near support → constructive demand.
High Bear % near resistance → active supply.
Use Δ labels (toggle “Delta”) to quickly spot bins with clear buyer/seller control; combine with price position for confluence.
Turn on Delta Heat Map to prioritize areas with both large volume and strong imbalance.
Watch the PoC : The PoC band marks the most traded (and often magnet) level; its label shows absolute size for context.
Trade ideas :
Breakout continuation when Δ stays positive across consecutive upper bins.
Reversion risk when price enters a large bearish-Δ cluster below.
Manage risk around the PoC; reactions there can be sharp.
🔵 CONCLUSION
DeltaFlow Volume Profile upgrades a classic profile with flow intelligence. The bull/bear split, explicit Δ %, heat-weighted backdrop, and PoC volume label make dominant participation and key price shelves obvious. Use it to filter levels, time entries with imbalance, and validate breakouts or fades with objective volume-flow evidence.
Delta
PowerDelta Oscillator [FxScripts]PowerDelta Oscillator
The PowerDelta Oscillator measures real-time buying and selling pressure using the proprietary PowerDelta Algorithm. By quantifying order flow, it identifies whether the market conditions favor bullish or bearish activity, helping traders determine directional bias for both trend and countertrend setups.
Calculation Methodology
The PowerDelta computes the delta (difference) between buying and selling pressure by integrating both price movement and volume behavior rather than relying solely on volume or price-based approximations like other oscillators.
The PowerDelta Algorithm evaluates six core price-volume conditions:
Price advancing with increasing volume
Price advancing with decreasing volume
Price consolidating with increasing volume
Price consolidating with decreasing volume
Price declining with increasing volume
Price declining with decreasing volume
From these conditions, the algorithm derives:
Accumulation vs Distribution phases
Buyer/Seller exhaustion points
Effort vs No Result scenarios (volume pressure failing to move price)
Operational Use
The PowerDelta Oscillator has three operational modes:
Trend
Countertrend
Blended (Trend/Countertrend hybrid)
Trend Mode
In Trend Mode, the indicator plots an oscillator that fluctuates between positive and negative values:
Positive readings indicate dominant buying pressure
Negative readings indicate dominant selling pressure
The magnitude of the reading reflects the intensity of the pressure
Crossovers at the zero line provide directional shifts:
Negative → Positive: bullish transition
Positive → Negative: bearish transition
Additionally:
Sustained positive values indicate control by buyers, long bias is favoured
Sustained negative values indicate control by sellers, short bias is favoured
The magnitude of displacement from zero provides additional confirmation of market strength or weakness
Countertrend Mode
In Countertrend Mode, the primary use of the PowerDelta Oscillator is to locate divergences between price and the oscillator (as visualised on the chart above) which helps traders pinpoint potential reversals
The oscillator is much more sensitive in this mode, making highs, lows and hence divergences, easier to spot
Like Trend Mode, the magnitude of displacement from zero provides additional confirmation of market strength or weakness
The various Analytical Scenarios detailed below provide detailed use cases for both Trend and Countertrend Mode
Blended Mode
To provide maximum flexibility, there’s also a third Blended Mode
This mode combines elements of the two primary modes and can be used as part of a hybrid approach making it easier to spot both trends and reversals
Alternative Source
The PowerDelta algorithm utilises volume data therefore it’s best to use the most reliable source of volume data for the instrument being traded
For instance, whilst XAUUSD provides excellent results with most forex brokers, slightly better results may be achieved using GC futures data which comes direct from the exchange (data package required)
To use a third-party source, select 'Alternative' and input the relevant source
This can also be used as a way to monitor correlated pairs by adding two instances of the PowerDelta to the same chart, selecting pair 1 e.g. EURUSD as the first instance and the correlated pair e.g. USDCHF as the second instance
Thorough backtesting advised
Analytical Scenarios
Accumulation: High positive oscillator readings combined with upward price movement suggest active accumulation.
Optimal strategy: Monitor pullbacks for potential long entries or wait for a divergence with price and potential reversal.
Distribution: High negative oscillator readings with downward price movement indicate distribution.
Optimal strategy: Monitor pullbacks for potential short entries or wait for a divergence with price and potential reversal.
Buyer Exhaustion: Price forms higher highs while oscillator value declines. Indicates weakening buying strength and potential bearish reversal.
Seller Exhaustion: Price forms lower lows while oscillator value contracts. Indicates weakening selling strength and potential bullish reversal.
Effort / No Result (Buyers): Positive oscillator expansion without higher highs indicates aggressive buying without price confirmation, suggesting overbought conditions and a potential bearish reversal.
Effort / No Result (Sellers): Negative oscillator expansion without lower lows indicates aggressive selling without price confirmation, suggesting oversold conditions and a potential bullish reversal.

Volume by Time [LuxAlgo]The Volume by Time indicator collects volume data for every point in time over the day and displays the average volume of the specific dataset collected at each respective bar.
The indicator overlays the current volume and the historical average to allow for better comparisons.
🔶 USAGE
Throughout the day, the volume of every bar is stored in groups organized by the time when each bar occurred.
Over time, the datasets accumulate, and from that, we can simply determine the average value at each specific time of the day.
The display is a histogram style, which consists of hollow bars and solid filled columns.
-Hollow bars represent the average volume at that time of the day.
-Solid columns display the current volume from the current bar.
By default, the entire history of data is used, but if desired, the number of days under analysis can be specified to provide a more relevant point of view.
A readout of the number of days being analyzed can be seen in the status bar at any time.
Note: Due to partial sessions, it is typical to see this value change throughout the day; this is simply due to the fact that not every trading session has the exact same schedule 100% of the time.
The analysis type can also be specified; these can be either Average (Default) or Median.
Additionally, a Bi-directional can be toggled for a distinct difference between upwards volume and downwards volume.
🔶 SETTINGS
Analysis Type: Choose between Average or Median analysis modes.
Length (Days): Set the number of days to use for analysis. Set to 0 for full data (Default 0).
Bi-Directional Toggle: Toggle between one-sided or two-sided display.
Intrabar Volume Delta — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)Intrabar Volume Delta Grid — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)
# Short Description
Shows intrabar Up/Down volume, Delta (absolute/relative) and UpShare% in a compact grid for both real-time and historical bars. Includes an MTF (M1…D1) dashboard, contextual coloring, density controls, and alerts on Δ and UpShare%. Smart historical splitting (“History Mode”) for Crypto/Futures/FX.
---
# What it does (Quick)
* **UpVol / DownVol / Δ / UpShare%** — visualizes order-flow inside each candle.
* **Real-time** — accumulates intrabar volume live by tick-direction.
* **History Mode** — splits Up/Down on closed bars via simple or range-aware logic.
* **MTF Dashboard** — one table view across M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 (Vol, Up/Down, Δ%, Share, Trend).
* **Contextual opacity** — stronger signals appear bolder.
* **Label density** — draw every N-th bar and limit to last X bars for performance.
* **Alerts** — thresholds for |Δ|, Δ%, and UpShare%.
---
# How it works (Real-Time vs History)
* **Real-time (open bar):** volume increments into **UpVolRT** or **DownVolRT** depending on last price move (↑ goes to Up, ↓ to Down). This approximates live order-flow even when full tick history isn’t available.
* **History (closed bars):**
* **None** — no split (Up/Down = 0/0). Safest for equities/indices with unreliable tick history.
* **Approx (Close vs Open)** — all volume goes to candle direction (green → Up 100%, red → Down 100%). Fast but yields many 0/100% bars.
* **Price Action Based** — splits by Close position within High-Low range; strength = |Close−mid|/(High−Low). Above mid → more Up; below mid → more Down. Falls back to direction if High==Low.
* **Auto** — **Stocks/Index → None**, **Crypto/Futures/FX → Approx**. If you see too many 0/100 bars, switch to **Price Action Based**.
---
# Rows & Meaning
* **Volume** — total bar volume (no split).
* **UpVol / DownVol** — directional intrabar volume.
* **Delta (Δ)** — UpVol − DownVol.
* **Absolute**: raw units
* **Relative (Δ%)**: Δ / (Up+Down) × 100
* **Both**: shows both formats
* **UpShare%** — UpVol / (Up+Down) × 100. >50% bullish, <50% bearish.
* Helpful icons: ▲ (>65%), ▼ (<35%).
---

# How to use (Quick Start)
1. Add the indicator to your chart (overlay=false → separate pane).
2. **History Mode**:
* Crypto/Futures/FX → keep **Auto** or switch to **Price Action Based** for richer history.
* Stocks/Index → prefer **None** or **Price Action Based** for safer splits.
3. **Label Density**: start with **Limit to last X bars = 30–150** and **Show every N-th bar = 2–4**.
4. **Contextual Coloring**: keep on to emphasize strong Δ% / Share moves.
5. **Dashboard**: enable and pick only the TFs you actually use.
6. **Alerts**: set thresholds (ideas below).
---
# Alerts (in TradingView)
Add alert → pick this indicator → choose any of:
* **Delta exceeds threshold** (|Δ| > X)
* **UpShare above threshold** (UpShare% > X)
* **UpShare below threshold** (UpShare% < X)
* **Relative Delta above +X%**
* **Relative Delta below −X%**
**Starter thresholds (tune per symbol & TF):**
* **Crypto M1/M5**: Δ% > +25…35 (bullish), Δ% < −25…−35 (bearish)
* **FX (tick volume)**: UpShare > 60–65% or < 40–35%
* **Stocks (liquid)**: set **Absolute Δ** by typical volume scale (e.g., 50k / 100k / 500k)
---
# Notes by Market Type
* **Crypto/Futures**: 24/7 and high liquidity — **Price Action Based** often gives nicer history splits than Approx.
* **Forex (FX)**: TradingView volume is typically **tick volume** (not true exchange volume). Treat Δ/Share as tick-based flow, still very useful intraday.
* **Stocks/Index**: historical tick detail can be limited. **None** or **Price Action Based** is a safer default. If you see too many 0/100% shares, switch away from Approx.
---
# “All Timeframes” accuracy
* Works on **any TF** (M1 → D1/W1).
* **Real-time accuracy** is strong for the open bar (live accumulation).
* **Historical accuracy** depends on your **History Mode** (None = safest, Approx = fastest/simplest, Price Action Based = more nuanced).
* The MTF dashboard uses `request.security` and therefore follows the same logic per TF.
---
# Trade Ideas (Use-Cases)
* **Scalping (M1–M5)**: a spike in Δ% + UpShare>65% + rising total Vol → momentum entries.
* **Intraday (M5–M30–H1)**: when multiple TFs show aligned Δ%/Share (e.g., M5 & M15 bullish), join the trend.
* **Swing (H4–D1)**: persistent Δ% > 0 and UpShare > 55–60% → structural accumulation bias.
---
# Advantages
* **True-feeling live flow** on the open bar.
* **Adaptable history** (three modes) to match data quality.
* **Clean visual layout** with guides, compact numbers, contextual opacity.
* **MTF snapshot** for quick bias read.
* **Performance controls** (last X bars, every N-th bar).
---
# Limitations & Care
* **FX uses tick volume** — interpret Δ/Share accordingly.
* **History Mode is an approximation** — confirm with trend/structure/liquidity context.
* **Illiquid symbols** can produce noisy or contradictory signals.
* **Too many labels** can slow charts → raise N, lower X, or disable guides.
---
# Best Practices (Checklist)
* Crypto/Futures: prefer **Price Action Based** for history.
* Stocks: **None** or **Price Action Based**; be cautious with **Approx**.
* FX: pair Δ% & UpShare% with session context (London/NY) and volatility.
* If labels overlap: tweak **Row Spacing** and **Text Size**.
* In the dashboard, keep only the TFs you actually act on.
* Alerts: start around **Δ% 25–35** for “punchy” moves, then refine per asset.
---
# FAQ
**1) Why do some closed bars show 0%/100% UpShare?**
You’re on **Approx** history mode. Switch to **Price Action Based** for smoother splits.
**2) Δ% looks strong but price doesn’t move — why?**
Δ% is an **order-flow** measure. Price also depends on liquidity pockets, sessions, news, higher-timeframe structure. Use confirmations.
**3) Performance slowdown — what to do?**
Lower **Limit to last X bars** (e.g., 30–100), increase **Show every N-th bar** (2–6), or disable **Draw Guide Lines**.
**4) Dashboard values don’t “match” the grid exactly?**
Dashboard is multi-TF via `request.security` and follows the history logic per TF. Differences are normal.

Standardized Cumulative Deltas [LuxAlgo]The Standardized Cumulative Deltas tool allows traders to compare the cumulative standardized open-close difference for up to 10 different tickers, allowing them to visualize the general sentiment for all selected tickers.
These results allow the construction of two areas showing the average or extreme bullish and bearish cumulative change for all enabled tickers, providing a summarized view of the overall ticker group sentiment.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is meant to give a full picture of the individuals and/or overall selected tickers, and unlike classical indicators, the displayed series of values is not meant to be directly interpreted over time.
Given the selected lookback period, a majority of observations being above 0 indicate an overall bullish market for the asset.
By default, the auto lookback period feature is enabled, allowing the tool to use all the visible bars for its calculations. Traders can also set the lookback period manually. The above chart uses a fixed lookback period of 500.
Up to 10 tickers can be used. While major cryptocurrencies are set by default, the users can set a specific basket of assets, such as US equities, forex pairs, commodities, etc.
🔹 Densities
The provided areas, here called densities, can be used to get an overall sentiment of the selected tickers. The upper density (bullish) processes positive deltas, while the lower one (bearish) processes negative ones.
Interpretation is subject to the selected "Density Mode".
Average: Densities track the average bullish/bearish cumulative deltas for the selected tickers. For example, a more prominent bullish density would indicate that, on average, cumulative deltas were positive across the tickers.
Envelope: Densities track the extreme values made by bullish/bearish cumulative deltas for the selected tickers. Here, a more prominent density would indicate more volatile bullish/bearish movements, depending on the density.
🔹 Dashboard
The tool features a dashboard with active tickers and their respective colors for traders' convenience.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Densities
Densities are obtained by applying a forward-backward exponential moving average on the average, or the highest/lowest cumulative series, depending on the selected Density Mode.
The resulting densities are smoothed by the "Smoothing" parameter located in the Settings panel, with higher values returning smoother envelopes with less variability.
Do note that the smoothing method used here is subject to repainting.
🔶 SETTINGS

Renko Open Range delta
Delta Renko-Style Indicator Guide (NQ Focus)
This indicator takes inspiration from the Renko Chart concept and is optimized for the RTH session (New York time zone), specifically applied to the Nasdaq futures (NQ) product.
If you’re unfamiliar with Renko charts, it may help to review their basics first, as this indicator borrows their clean, block-based perspective to simplify price interpretation.
⸻
🔧 How the Indicator Works
• At market open (9:30 AM EST), the indicator plots a horizontal open price line, referred to as 0 delta.
• From this anchor, it plots 10 incremental levels (deltas) both above and below the open, each spaced by 62.5 NQ points.
Why 62.5?
• With NQ currently trading in the 23,000–24,000 range, a 62.5-point move represents roughly 0.26% of the daily average range.
• This makes each delta step significant enough to capture movement while filtering out smaller noise.
A mini table (location adjustable) displays:
• Current delta zone
• Last touched delta level
This gives you a quick snapshot of where price sits relative to the open.
⸻
📈 How to Read the Market
• At the open, price typically oscillates between 0 and +1 / -1 delta.
• A break beyond this zone often signals stronger directional intent:
• Trending day: price can push into +2, +3, +4, +5 (or the inverse for downside).
• Range day: expect price to bounce between +1, 0, -1 deltas.
⚠️ Note: This is a visualization tool, not a trading system. Its purpose is to help you quickly recognize range vs. trend conditions.
⸻
📊 Example
• In this case, NQ reached +1 delta shortly after open.
• A retest of 0 delta followed, and price later surged to +5/+6 deltas (helped by Fed news).
⸻
🛠️ Practical Uses
This indicator can help you:
• Define profit targets
• Place hard stop levels
• Gauge whether a counter-trend trade is worth the risk
⚠️ Caution: Avoid counter-trend trades if price is aggressively pushing toward +5/+6 or -5/-6 deltas, as trend exhaustion usually hasn’t set in yet.
⸻
🔄 Adapting for ES (S&P Futures)
• On NQ, 62.5 points ≈ $1,250 per contract.
• For ES, this translates to 25 points.
• Since 1 NQ contract ≈ 2 ES contracts in dollar terms, an optimized ES delta step would be 12.5 points.
You may also experiment with different delta values (e.g., 50 or 31.25 for NQ) to align with your risk profile and trading style.
⸻
🧪 Extending Beyond NQ
You can experiment with applying this indicator to ES or even stocks, but non-futures assets may require additional calibration and testing.
⸻
✅ Bottom line: This tool provides a clean, Renko-inspired framework for quickly gauging trend vs. range conditions, setting realistic profit targets, and avoiding poor counter-trend setups.
CVD Absorption + Confirmation [Orderflow & Volume]This indicator detects bullish and bearish absorption setups by combining Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) with price action, candlestick, and volume confirmations.
🔹 What is Absorption?
Absorption happens when aggressive buyers/sellers push CVD to new highs or lows, but price fails to follow through.
Bearish absorption: CVD makes a higher high, but price does not.
Bullish absorption: CVD makes a lower low, but price does not.
This often signals that limit orders are absorbing aggressive market orders, creating potential reversal points.
🔹 Confirmation Patterns
Absorption signals are only shown if they are validated by one of the following patterns:
Engulfing candle with low volume → reversal faces little resistance.
Engulfing candle with high volume → strong aggressive participation.
Pin bar with high volume → absorption visible in the wick.
CVD flattening / slope reversal → shift in aggressive order flow.
🔹 Signals
✅ Bullish absorption confirmed → Green label below the bar.
❌ Bearish absorption confirmed → Red label above the bar.
Each label represents a potential reversal setup after orderflow absorption is validated.
🔹 Alerts
Built-in alerts are included for both bullish and bearish confirmations, so you can track setups in real-time without watching the chart 24/7.
📌 How to Use:
Best applied at key levels (supply/demand, VWAP, OR, liquidity zones).
Look for confluence with your trading strategy before taking entries.
Works on all markets and timeframes where volume is reliable.
Advanced Volume Profile Pro Delta + POC + VAH/VAL# Advanced Volume Profile Pro - Delta + POC + VAH/VAL Analysis System
## WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES
This script creates a comprehensive volume profile analysis system that combines traditional volume-at-price distribution with delta volume calculations, Point of Control (POC) identification, and Value Area (VAH/VAL) analysis. Unlike standard volume indicators that show only total volume over time, this script analyzes volume distribution across price levels and estimates buying vs selling pressure using multiple calculation methods to provide deeper market structure insights.
## WHY THIS COMBINATION IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL
**The Problem Solved:** Traditional volume indicators show when volume occurs but not where price finds acceptance or rejection. Standalone volume profiles lack directional bias information, while basic delta calculations don't provide structural context. Traders need to understand both volume distribution AND directional sentiment at key price levels.
**The Solution:** This script implements an integrated approach that:
- Maps volume distribution across price levels using configurable row density
- Estimates delta (buying vs selling pressure) using three different methodologies
- Identifies Point of Control (highest volume price level) for key support/resistance
- Calculates Value Area boundaries where 70% of volume traded
- Provides real-time alerts for key level interactions and volume imbalances
**Unique Features:**
1. **Developing POC Visualization**: Real-time tracking of Point of Control migration throughout the session via blue dotted trail, revealing institutional accumulation/distribution patterns before they complete
2. **Multi-Method Delta Calculation**: Price Action-based, Bid/Ask estimation, and Cumulative methods for different market conditions
3. **Adaptive Timeframe System**: Auto-adjusts calculation parameters based on chart timeframe for optimal performance
4. **Flexible Profile Types**: N Bars Back (precise control), Days Back (calendar-based), and Session-based analysis modes
5. **Advanced Imbalance Detection**: Identifies and highlights significant buying/selling imbalances with configurable thresholds
6. **Comprehensive Alert System**: Monitors POC touches, Value Area entry/exit, and major volume imbalances
## HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS TECHNICALLY
### Core Volume Profile Methodology:
**1. Price Level Distribution:**
- Divides price range into user-defined rows (10-50 configurable)
- Calculates row height: `(Highest Price - Lowest Price) / Number of Rows`
- Distributes each bar's volume across price levels it touched proportionally
**2. Delta Volume Calculation Methods:**
**Price Action Method:**
```
Price Range = High - Low
Buy Pressure = (Close - Low) / Price Range
Sell Pressure = (High - Close) / Price Range
Buy Volume = Total Volume × Buy Pressure
Sell Volume = Total Volume × Sell Pressure
Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
```
**Bid/Ask Estimation Method:**
```
Average Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Buy Volume = Close > Average ? Volume × 0.6 : Volume × 0.4
Sell Volume = Total Volume - Buy Volume
```
**Cumulative Method:**
```
Buy Volume = Close > Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
Sell Volume = Close ≤ Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
```
**3. Point of Control (POC) Identification:**
- Scans all price levels to find maximum volume concentration
- POC represents the price level with highest trading activity
- Acts as significant support/resistance level
- **Developing POC Feature**: Tracks POC evolution in real-time via blue dotted trail, showing how institutional interest migrates throughout the session. Upward POC migration indicates accumulation patterns, downward migration suggests distribution, providing early trend signals before price confirmation.
**4. Value Area Calculation:**
- Starts from POC and expands up/down to encompass 70% of total volume
- VAH (Value Area High): Upper boundary of value area
- VAL (Value Area Low): Lower boundary of value area
- Expansion algorithm prioritizes direction with higher volume
**5. Adaptive Range Selection:**
Based on profile type and timeframe optimization:
- **N Bars Back**: Fixed lookback period with performance optimization (20-500 bars)
- **Days Back**: Calendar-based analysis with automatic timeframe adjustment (1-365 days)
- **Session**: Current trading session or custom session times
### Performance Optimization Features:
- **Sampling Algorithm**: Reduces calculation load on large datasets while maintaining accuracy
- **Memory Management**: Clears previous drawings to prevent performance degradation
- **Safety Constraints**: Prevents excessive memory usage with configurable limits
## HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
### Initial Setup:
1. **Profile Configuration**: Select profile type based on trading style:
- N Bars Back: Precise control over data range
- Days Back: Intuitive calendar-based analysis
- Session: Real-time session development
2. **Row Density**: Set number of rows (30 default) - more rows = higher resolution, slower performance
3. **Delta Method**: Choose calculation method based on market type:
- Price Action: Best for trending markets
- Bid/Ask Estimate: Good for ranging markets
- Cumulative: Smoothed approach for volatile markets
4. **Visual Settings**: Configure colors, position (left/right), and display options
### Reading the Profile:
**Volume Bars:**
- **Length**: Represents relative volume at that price level
- **Color**: Green = net buying pressure, Red = net selling pressure
- **Intensity**: Darker colors indicate volume imbalances above threshold
**Key Levels:**
- **POC (Blue Line)**: Highest volume price - major support/resistance
- **VAH (Purple Dashed)**: Value Area High - upper boundary of fair value
- **VAL (Orange Dashed)**: Value Area Low - lower boundary of fair value
- **Value Area Fill**: Shaded region showing main trading range
**Developing POC Trail:**
- **Blue Dotted Lines**: Show real-time POC evolution throughout the session
- **Migration Patterns**: Upward trail indicates bullish accumulation, downward trail suggests bearish distribution
- **Early Signals**: POC movement often precedes price movement, providing advance warning of institutional activity
- **Institutional Footprints**: Reveals where smart money concentrated volume before final POC establishment
### Trading Applications:
**Support/Resistance Analysis:**
- POC acts as magnetic price level - expect reactions
- VAH/VAL provide intermediate support/resistance levels
- Profile edges show areas of low volume acceptance
**Developing POC Analysis:**
- **Upward Migration**: POC moving higher = institutional accumulation, bullish bias
- **Downward Migration**: POC moving lower = institutional distribution, bearish bias
- **Stable POC**: Tight clustering = balanced market, range-bound conditions
- **Early Trend Detection**: POC direction change often precedes price breakouts
**Entry Strategies:**
- Buy at VAL with POC as target (in uptrends)
- Sell at VAH with POC as target (in downtrends)
- Breakout plays above/below profile extremes
**Volume Imbalance Trading:**
- Strong buying imbalance (>60% threshold) suggests continued upward pressure
- Strong selling imbalance suggests continued downward pressure
- Imbalances near key levels provide high-probability setups
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- Use higher timeframe profiles for major levels
- Lower timeframe profiles for precise entries
- Session profiles for intraday trading structure

Option CalculatorOption Calculator – Comprehensive Feature Guide
The aiTrendview Option Calculator is a feature-rich options trading dashboard built using Pine Script, designed for real-time market interpretation and strategy selection. It integrates Black-Scholes-based pricing models with dynamic market inputs to help traders evaluate directional bias, volatility, risk, and potential profitability in a structured, intuitive format. The tool supports both beginner and experienced options traders in making data-driven decisions.
Core Inputs and Pricing Foundations
Users can input the strike price, days to expiration, implied volatility (IV), interest rate, and option type (call or put). These values feed directly into calculations for the option's theoretical price, Greeks, and expected move. For example:
• Strike Price helps define moneyness, impacting delta and risk/reward balance.
• Days to Expiry determines the speed of time decay (theta).
• Risk-Free Rate adjusts for time value and interest rate impact (rho).
• Implied Volatility affects premium pricing and vega exposure.
• Option Type sets the directional foundation for strategy analysis.
Live Market Data Integration
The script pulls current underlying price, price change, and volume comparison against a moving average (e.g., current volume vs. 20-day average). This helps identify unusual trading activity or volume spikes. Volatility readings are also incorporated using ATR or external volatility indexes to enhance the realism of IV assessments.
Greek Calculations
The dashboard provides visual and numerical values for all five major Greeks:
• Delta shows directional sensitivity and is plotted with a visual bar.
• Gamma represents the rate of delta change, especially critical near-the-money.
• Theta measures time decay and is most impactful in the final weeks before expiration.
• Vega tracks sensitivity to volatility shifts, crucial for premium-selling strategies.
• Rho reflects sensitivity to interest rates, primarily relevant in long-dated options.
Each Greek is calculated based on real-time inputs, providing a statistical framework for assessing risk and return.
Market Sentiment & Risk Environment
A sentiment scoring system interprets the put-call ratio (PCR), volume trends, and price momentum (e.g., RSI). IV levels are color-coded (e.g., low, medium, high) to identify whether options are relatively cheap or expensive. These values support better timing decisions and help identify whether to be a buyer or seller of premium.
Strategy Recommendation Engine
The script dynamically evaluates six core strategies based on current data:
1. Long Call
2. Short Put
3. Long Put
4. Bull Call Spread
5. Long Straddle
6. Iron Butterfly
Each strategy is assigned a confidence score (0–100%) and updated in real-time. This system is designed to match the appropriate strategy to market conditions such as trend, volatility, and time to expiration.
Risk-Adjusted Trading Insights
The dashboard helps traders evaluate whether to initiate trades, reduce exposure, or wait:
• High Confidence (80%+): Favorable environment; standard sizing recommended.
• Moderate Confidence (60–80%): Trade with caution and reduced risk.
• Low Confidence (<60%): Consider avoiding the trade or waiting for better setup.
It also supports risk mitigation through defined-risk strategies and provides guidance on stop-loss, profit targets, and time-based exits (e.g., managing options with <21 days to expiry).
Real-Time Monitoring
The script continuously tracks:
• Changes in Greeks as price, volatility, or time evolve.
• Profit probability estimates using expected move and breakeven pricing.
• Volume activity and IV rank to spot institutional behavior.
This empowers traders to manage trades proactively, adjust exposure, or lock in profits based on changing market conditions.
Practical Use Case Flow
Step 1: Input Setup
Enter option-specific parameters (strike, expiry days, IV, etc.) and let the dashboard auto-calculate risk metrics.
Step 2: Analyze Market
Use sentiment analysis, IV level, and volume data to understand the environment.
Step 3: Select Strategy
Rely on the confidence score and recommendation engine to choose a suitable options strategy.
Step 4: Manage Risk
Apply size rules based on signal strength, adjust based on exposure, and set alerts if needed.
Step 5: Monitor Outcomes
Track Greeks, probability, and progress metrics to stay informed throughout the trade.
Trading Environment Adaptation
• Low IV: Favor long premium strategies (e.g., long straddles, long calls).
• High IV: Favor premium selling strategies (e.g., iron condors, credit spreads).
• Bullish Markets: Focus on call-based trades or bullish spreads.
• Sideways Markets: Use neutral setups like iron butterflies or calendar spreads.
Position sizing and stop-loss logic are aligned with industry practices (e.g., risk no more than 2% per trade, take profit at 50%, and cut losses at double the premium received).
Dashboard Interpretation Guide
• Green: High confidence strategy, favourable IV, and strong volume confirmation.
• Yellow: Mixed signals or moderate conviction – proceed with caution.
• Red: Low confidence, poor conditions – better to wait for clearer opportunities.

ZenAlgo - DeltaThis indicator visualizes cumulative delta volume across multiple exchanges and trading pairs, with optional moving averages, divergence detection, and contextual labeling. It aggregates buy and sell volume from both spot and perpetual markets, applying normalization and visual encoding to highlight volume flow dynamics over time.
Volume Aggregation Logic
The script starts by collecting volume data from up to nine exchanges. It distinguishes between spot (e.g., USDT, USD) and perpetual markets (e.g., USDT.P, USD.P) using dynamically constructed tickers based on the asset's base currency. For each enabled exchange, it fetches volume using request.security , filtering out invalid or zero-volume responses.
Each set of volume data (spot1, spot2, perp1, perp2) is then processed through a reducer function that combines the values using a selected method—sum, average, median, or variance. These processed volumes are further categorized and summed into total spot and perp volume streams, forming the basis for downstream delta computations.
Delta Calculation
For each bar, the script decomposes the candlestick into wick and body proportions, calculating how much of the total volume might be attributed to upward or downward pressure. This estimation weights the volume by the visual structure of the candle—larger bodies and upper wicks in bullish candles suggest buying pressure; inverse logic applies for bearish candles.
These estimated buy and sell volumes are then subtracted to derive per-bar delta. A cumulative delta series is computed by summing this bar-by-bar delta across a user-defined window length.
Divergences on Delta
Fractal logic is applied to detect local highs and lows in the cumulative delta series. These points serve as anchors for divergence comparisons:
Regular divergences identify price making higher highs (or lower lows) while delta makes lower highs (or higher lows).
Hidden divergences look for the opposite (price pullback vs delta continuation).
The same logic is applied independently to:
Raw cumulative delta
A primary delta moving average
A secondary, slower moving average
Each can be configured with different lookback lengths and moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, RMA).
The divergence logic gains additional value when used in tandem with the delta moving averages and contextual temperature state. For example, a divergence detected on the slower delta average while the temperature band is in an “Extreme Hot” or “Cold” zone may indicate a more meaningful exhaustion event. This layered approach allows users to filter weaker divergences and focus on those that align with broader delta context.
Gradient and Temperature Context
A third moving average (e.g., WMA(50)) is used to provide a contextual "temperature" state of the delta environment. Based on deviations from its own mean and standard deviation, this third MA is classified into zones:
"Extreme Hot", "Hot", "Warm"
"Neutral"
"Cool", "Cold", "Extreme Cold"
These zones are encoded using color and transparency gradients in the chart’s background. This helps identify periods where delta conditions are statistically stretched or compressed relative to recent history.
EMA Cross Conditions
The script tracks crossover events between the short and long EMAs of delta, especially when these align with a directional shift in cumulative delta (e.g., zero-line cross). If confirmed by volume skew (more buy than sell or vice versa), specific visual markers are plotted.
Labels and Informational Lines
Dynamic labels are rendered on the latest bar showing:
Cumulative delta and last divergence
EMA values and associated divergence
"Slow MA" value and its temperature state
These labels float next to the latest values, using thematic or neutral colors based on user preference.
Buy/Sell Pressure Tables
Two optional tables display breakdowns of:
Buy vs Sell volume
Their percentage contribution
Net delta value
Market condition label (e.g., "Full Bull", "Bearish")
These are calculated over the selected lookback period and color-coded accordingly.
An experimental table compares raw and aggregated spot/perpetual volume contributions and their percentage skew.
Background Highlight Logic
Background colors are conditionally rendered based on buy/sell volume dominance. Several thresholds exist:
2x or 3x buy volume dominance → greenish tones
2x or 3x sell volume dominance → reddish tones
Combined with temperature overlays, this highlights areas of potentially high conviction from either side.
Cross Conditions
The script detects situations where cumulative delta crosses under buy/sell volume thresholds. Visual dots mark:
Negative delta intersecting rising sell volume
Positive delta intersecting rising buy volume
This provides additional cues when short-term volume shifts might contradict recent cumulative flow.
How to Interpret Values
Cumulative Delta (AggDelta): Tracks net buy vs sell pressure over time. A rising delta suggests persistent buying pressure, and vice versa.
Temperature State: Places delta flow into historical context. “Extreme Hot” implies sustained positive flow, possibly overextended; “Cold” signals inverse.
EMA Lines: Short- and long-term smoothing of delta for trend and divergence detection.
Cross Events: Represent moments when short EMA crosses over delta or long EMA, often signaling a directional momentum change.
Tables and Labels: Quantify volume dominance and flow state, helping assess if flow aligns with price structure.
How to Best Use
For context: Observe overall slope and temperature of the third MA. High deviations often precede cooling or reversal.
For confluence: Look for alignment between price structure (e.g., higher highs) and delta divergence to identify exhaustion or continuation.
For short-term timing: Watch EMA crosses and volume conditions (e.g., buy volume increasing while delta crosses above zero).
Added Value Compared to Other Free Indicators
Multi-exchange Aggregation: Includes spot and perp data across major exchanges with flexible inclusion settings.
Granular Delta Estimation: Uses candle body/wick proportions rather than simple up/down tick assumptions.
Context-Aware Visualization: Integrates volume gradient, statistical deviation zones, and divergence overlays in one compact view.
Highly Customizable: Users can fine-tune divergence, moving average, color scheme, and table display independently.
Integrated View with Synergistic Logic: Unlike using several isolated scripts, this indicator unifies delta flow, divergence, volume dominance, and statistical context into one coherent framework. This synergy reduces the need to reconcile signals from different sources and allows for clearer judgment when multiple conditions align.
Limitations and Disclaimers
Delta Approximation: Calculated using heuristic candle shape assumptions; not a tick-level order book delta.
Exchange Coverage: Relies on availability of correct tickers and historical volume data via TradingView’s request.security .
Visual Lag: Cumulative delta and divergence patterns may develop over several bars and are not predictive on their own.
No Entry Signals: This indicator does not provide trading signals, nor does it evaluate risk or price targets.
Additional Limitations
This indicator estimates delta from candle shape and volume distribution heuristics. In low-liquidity markets or on lower timeframes, this estimation may misrepresent actual flow dynamics, especially during volatile spikes or news-driven moves. Divergence patterns may appear with delay or persist without price reaction, particularly in ranging or algorithmically driven markets. Users should combine these tools with broader context and price action awareness rather than relying on isolated delta events.
Two colored Up/Down Volume Bars with volume delta plotsThis shows Volume Up/Down via 2 colored volume bars !
The delta is in bar plot is the difference between 2 colors.
I found histogram with +ve and -ve values not visually appealing to me. So had to do this method.
Note: Currently TV does not have native U/D function call and has to done via imported v8 library.
The method of up down remain unchanged, and is as it is in the library.
Method.
The 2 colors in colume bars show which side has more pressure. The top portion is the dominant force and the bottom color is the weaker force in that bar.
Line chars are also available via toggle.
Cumulative line chart shows the pressure building over inputted number of days. When the line is facing down, the pressure is easing down and when the line is facing up the pressure is building up. When the lines intersect, that is a trend change direction.
2 line charts are available, cumulative line plot and smoothened line plot.

Delta Volume BubblesDelta Volume Bubbles
Overview
The Delta Volume Bubbles indicator is an advanced order flow visualization tool that displays buying and selling pressure through dynamic bubble representations on your chart. Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show total volume, this indicator calculates the net delta volume (difference between buying and selling volume) and presents it as color-coded bubbles of varying sizes.
How It Works
Core Calculation Method
The indicator uses a sophisticated approach to estimate delta volume from standard OHLCV data:
1. Price Action Analysis: Analyzes the relationship between open, high, low, and close prices to determine market aggression
2. Body Ratio Calculation: body_ratio = |close - open| / (high - low)
3. Aggressive Factor: Applies multipliers based on price action:
- Strong moves (body_ratio > 0.7): 1.5x multiplier
- Moderate moves (body_ratio > 0.4): 1.2x multiplier
- Weak moves: 1.0x multiplier
4. Delta Volume Estimation:
- Buy Volume: price_change > 0 ? volume × aggressive_factor : 0
- Sell Volume: price_change < 0 ? volume × aggressive_factor : 0
- Net Delta: buy_volume - sell_volume
5. Delta Strength Normalization: delta_strength = |net_delta| / sma(volume, 20)
Percentile-Based Filtering
The indicator uses percentile filtering instead of fixed thresholds, making it adaptive to market conditions:
- Bubble Filter: Only shows bubbles when volume exceeds the specified percentile (default: 60%)
- Label Filter: Only displays numbers when volume exceeds a higher percentile (default: 90%)
- Dynamic Adaptation: Automatically adjusts to changing market volatility
Visual Elements
Bubble Sizes
- Tiny: Delta strength < 0.3
- Small: Delta strength 0.3 - 0.7
- Normal: Delta strength 0.7 - 1.2
- Large: Delta strength 1.2 - 2.0
- Huge: Delta strength > 2.0
Color Coding
- Aggressive Buy (Bright Green): Strong buying pressure with high body ratio
- Aggressive Sell (Bright Red): Strong selling pressure with high body ratio
- Passive Buy (Light Green): Moderate buying pressure
- Passive Sell (Light Red): Moderate selling pressure
Intensity Mode
Alternative coloring based on delta strength rather than flow direction:
- Gray: Low intensity (< 0.5)
- Blue: Medium intensity (0.5 - 1.0)
- Orange: High intensity (1.0 - 2.0)
- Red: Extreme intensity (> 2.0)
Parameters
Order Flow Settings
- Show Bubbles: Toggle bubble display on/off
- Bubble Volume %ile: Percentile threshold for bubble display (0-100%)
- Intensity Mode: Switch between flow-based and intensity-based coloring
Bubble Labels
- Show Numbers in Bubbles: Toggle numerical labels on/off
- Label Volume %ile: Higher percentile threshold for label display (0-100%)
Numbers are displayed in K-notation (e.g., 25000 → 25K, 1500000 → 1.5M) for better readability.
Ideal Usage Scenarios
Best Market Conditions
- High volume sessions: More accurate delta calculations
- Trending markets: Clear directional flow identification
- Breakout scenarios: Spot aggressive buying/selling at key levels
- Support/resistance testing: Identify accumulation vs distribution
Trading Applications
1. Entry Timing: Look for aggressive flow in your trade direction
2. Exit Signals: Watch for opposing aggressive flow
3. Trend Confirmation: Consistent flow direction confirms trends
4. Volume Climax: Huge bubbles may indicate exhaustion points
Optimization Tips
Parameter Adjustment
- Lower percentiles (40-60%): More bubbles, good for active markets
- Higher percentiles (70-90%): Fewer bubbles, focus on significant events
- Label percentile: Set 20-30% higher than bubble percentile for clarity
Visual Optimization
- Intensity mode: Better for identifying unusual volume spikes
- Flow mode: Better for directional bias analysis
- Label toggle: Turn off in crowded markets, on for key levels
Limitations
- Estimation-based: Uses approximation algorithms, not true order flow data
- Volume dependency: Requires accurate volume data to function properly
- Timeframe sensitivity: Works best on intraday timeframes with active volume
- Market hours: Most effective during high-volume trading sessions
Technical Notes
The indicator implements advanced Pine Script features including:
- Dynamic percentile calculations using ta.percentile_linear_interpolation()
- Conditional plotting with multiple size categories
- Custom number formatting functions
- Efficient label management to prevent display limits
This tool is designed for traders who want to understand the underlying buying and selling pressure beyond simple volume analysis, providing insights into market sentiment and potential turning points.
AMV Volume AssistantThe AMV Volume Assistant is a custom tool that visualizes volume delta strength using percentile-based scoring. It helps identify potential overbought and oversold conditions by measuring how strong recent buying or selling pressure is compared to historical volume behavior.
What it does:
Tracks delta accumulation using lower timeframe data split into buying and selling volume based on candle direction.
Converts this accumulation into a percentile score to show relative strength or weakness.
Colors the background green or red when the smoothed score crosses key thresholds (+3 or -3), highlighting moments of possible volume exhaustion or continuation.
Use case:
This tool is useful for intraday traders who want a simple way to spot strong buying or selling pressure and assess when the move may be overextended. It works best as a supporting indicator alongside your main strategy or trend framework.
This tool works best on futures such as CME_MINI:NQ1! due to the accuracy of volume data provided.
IMPORTANT: On lower tf's such as the 1 minute timeframes, 5s data is needed so a premium subscription is required for the use of this indicator.
DeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector by Chaitu50cDeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector
by Chaitu50c
DeltaStrike is a simple and effective tool designed to help traders identify the most aggressive candles on the chart in real time. It works purely on price action and internal candle dynamics, with no reliance on lagging indicators.
The indicator combines delta (directional strength), candle range, and volume to compute an overall aggressiveness score for each candle. When this score exceeds a dynamic threshold based on recent market behavior, the candle is marked as an aggressive move.
Aggressive bullish candles are plotted as green diamonds below the candle, while aggressive bearish candles are plotted as red diamonds above the candle. The goal is to help traders visually spot moments of strong directional pressure, where potential trends or reversals may emerge.
The detection logic adapts automatically to changing market volatility and volume, making it suitable for all instruments and timeframes, including index futures, equities, and forex.
An integrated dashboard on the chart displays live readings of the key components contributing to each candle’s aggressiveness score: delta ratio, range ratio, and volume ratio. This helps traders understand the internal structure of each aggressive move.
Features:
Dynamic aggressiveness detection based on delta, range, and volume
Adaptive threshold for consistent behavior across timeframes and instruments
Clean chart output with clear diamond markers only on selected candles
Live dashboard with internal metrics for advanced analysis
Simple, lightweight, and optimized for intraday and swing trading
Works with any instrument: index, equity, forex, commodity
DeltaStrike is intended as an objective visual aid to help traders focus on genuine moments of strong market intent, filtering out ordinary or passive price movement. It can be used standalone or in combination with your existing trading strategy.
Delta Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵Delta Volume Profile
A dynamic volume analysis tool that builds two separate horizontal profiles: one for bullish candles and one for bearish candles. This indicator helps traders identify the true balance of buying vs. selling volume across price levels, highlighting points of control (POCs), delta dominance, and hidden volume clusters with remarkable precision.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Split Volume Profiles (Bull vs. Bear):
The indicator separates volume based on candle direction:
If close > open , the candle’s volume is added to the bullish profile (positive volume).
If close < open , it contributes to the bearish profile (negative volume).
ATR-Based Binning:
The price range over the selected lookback is split into bins using ATR(200) as the bin height.
Each bin accumulates both bull and bear volumes to form the dual-sided profile.
Bull and Bear Volume Bars:
Bullish volumes are shown as right-facing bars on the right side, colored with a bullish gradient.
Bearish volumes appear as left-facing bars on the left side, shaded with a bearish gradient.
Each bar includes a volume label (e.g., +12.45K or -9.33K) to show exact volume at that price level.
Points of Control (POC) Highlighting:
The bin with the highest bullish volume is marked with a border in POC+ color (default: blue).
The bin with the highest bearish volume is marked with a POC− color (default: orange).
Total Volume Density Map:
A neutral gray background box is plotted behind candles showing the total volume (bull + bear) per bin.
This reveals high-interest price zones regardless of direction.
Delta and Total Volume Summary:
A Delta label appears at the top, showing net % difference between bull and bear volume.
A Total label at the bottom shows total accumulated volume across all bins.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator captures all candles within the lookback period .
It calculates the price range and splits it into bins using ATR for adaptive resolution.
For each candle:
If price intersects a bin and close > open , volume is added to the positive profile .
If close < open , volume is added to the negative profile .
The result is two side-by-side histograms at each price level—one for buyers, one for sellers.
The bin with the highest value on each side is visually emphasized using POC highlight colors.
At the end, the script calculates:
Delta: Total % difference between bull and bear volumes.
Total: Sum of all volumes in the lookback window.
🔵 USAGE
Volume Imbalance Zones: Identify price levels where buyers or sellers were clearly dominant.
Fade or Follow Volume Clusters: Use POC+ or POC− levels for reaction trades or breakouts.
Delta Strength Filtering: Strong delta values (> ±20%) suggest momentum or exhaustion setups.
Volume-Based Anchoring: Use profile levels to mark hidden support/resistance and execution zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Delta Volume Profile offers a unique advantage in market reading by separating buyer and seller activity into two visual layers. This allows traders to not only spot where volume was high, but also who was more aggressive. Whether you’re analyzing trend continuations, reversals, or absorption levels, this indicator gives you the transparency needed to trade with confidence.
Approx. Footprint: Volume DeltaThis indicator brings you a simplified “footprint” view by charting the volume delta—the imbalance between bullish and bearish volume—alongside total bar volume.
Delta Bars: Green/red columns show where buyers (close > open) or sellers (close < open) dominated each bar.
Total Volume: Semi-transparent gray columns in the background give you overall context.
No Hidden Data: Works on any symbol/timeframe without tick-by-tick or bid/ask feeds.
Use it to quickly spot bars with strong buying or selling pressure, identify momentum shifts, and confirm breakouts or reversals—all within TradingView’s standard volume streams.
Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized)🔀 Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) – Visualizing Market moods becomes simpler 🔀
🧠 Introduction
The Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) is a custom oscillator that fuses the power of classic momentum analysis with volume-derived delta flow to give traders a dual-perspective edge.
This tool was born from a need to better visualize internal market thrust (via delta) while still respecting the time-tested signal power of the traditional Awesome Oscillator (AO).
🔍 What makes it unique?
✅ Volume-based Delta Calculation – Models upward/downward delta using a custom volatility-weighted volume allocation method, not simple tick-delta or raw buys/sells.
✅ Cumulative Delta Candles – Instead of just plotting bars, the indicator rebuilds the market structure using cumulative delta logic.
✅ Dual AO Display – Shows both custom delta AO and traditional price AO simultaneously.
✅ Normalized Scaling – Each AO is independently normalized by its standard deviation (volatility-adjusted), making both indicators visually comparable without distortion.
🧮 Under the Hood
Let’s break down the components:
1. Delta Logic 📊
Rather than using raw delta or tick-level data, this script simulates net effort:
Delta Up = Volume × a smart weighting when the candle is bullish
Delta Down = Volume × weighting when the candle is bearish
The weighting dynamically adjusts based on candle body-to-wick ratio. This provides a more refined delta estimate based on candle structure.
This delta is accumulated (cumulative delta) and used to form a synthetic OHLC candle structure.
2. AO Calculations ⚖️
Custom AO: Calculated from the median of synthetic delta candles
Regular AO: Classic (median price 5-period SMA - 34-period SMA)
Both are normalized using their own 34-bar standard deviation, improving comparability and visualization in one pane.
3. Color Coding 🎨
For the delta AO histogram:
Lime: Bullish + Increasing Momentum
Green: Bullish + Weakening Momentum
Red: Bearish + Increasing Momentum (to the downside)
Maroon: Bearish + Weakening Momentum
This lets you immediately spot momentum shifts and strength behind volume-based moves.
📈 How to Use – Trading Guide
🔧 Recommended Setup:
Timeframe: Works well on all intraday and higher timeframes (5m–1D)
Symbol: Especially effective on liquid instruments (futures, indices, large caps)
✅ Entry Signals
🔹 Buy Setup
Delta AO turns green or lime above zero, and Regular AO is also rising
Ideal confirmation: Lime bar (strong bullish delta momentum) and a crossover above zero
🔹 Sell Setup
Delta AO turns maroon or red below zero, and Regular AO is also falling
Ideal confirmation: Red bar (strong bearish delta momentum) and AO falling further below zero
🔄 Momentum Confirmation
Look for divergence between the Delta AO and Regular AO.
🔼 If Delta AO is rising but Regular AO is flat or falling → Volume is leading price (possible breakout ahead)
🔽 If Regular AO is strong but Delta AO fades → Price may be unsustainable (fakeout risk)
🛑 Exit / Reversal Clues
Sudden color shifts (e.g., Lime → Green → Maroon) can signal momentum exhaustion
Both AOs converging to zero suggests consolidation phase ahead
📌 Pro Tips
Use this with volume profile, support/resistance, or market structure zones for maximum confluence
Works great as a secondary confirmation tool for your existing strategy
💬 Final Thoughts
This oscillator is not just a pretty double AO — it's a strategic fusion of price and volume time-series designed to help you anticipate shifts before they’re obvious in price alone.
If you're looking for:
A modernized AO
Volume-integrated signal clarity
Normalized, noise-filtered momentum visual
Then this tool belongs in your chart arsenal.

Volume Delta Calculation
This indicator computes delta as the difference between estimated buy and sell volumes using volume data from multiple centralized exchanges. It distinguishes between spot and perpetual volumes, combining them into total volume.
To estimate buying and selling volume from raw volume data, candle structure is broken down into body and wicks. The body is interpreted as the core directional movement (buy/sell), while the wicks are treated as uncertain or counteraction. This segmentation helps infer the likely share of buying and selling within each bar.
The delta is calculated per bar and then aggregated over a lookback period (default 14 bars) to generate a cumulative delta. This approach provides a smoothed value of volume pressure trends over time.
A moving average is applied to the delta values (using selectable MA types like EMA or SMA) to define signal crossovers and suppress noise.
Delta Visualization
To contextualize delta within price action, the delta is scaled dynamically (by ATR or user-defined value) and plotted as a band around the closing price. Positive delta expands upward from price, negative delta downward. This provides a visual overlay that reflects net market pressure in context with price movement.
In cases of extreme delta (threshold set at 80% of recent maximum), the indicator marks spike bars using symbols to indicate significant directional pressure.
Identification of Noteworthy Conditions
The indicator highlights points on the chart where specific conditions are met based on the interaction between volume delta and its moving average. These conditions may align with moments of market pressure imbalance and directional movement, but they are not to be interpreted as trade signals in isolation.
Instead, these chart markers serve as visual flags for potential interest. They are intended to draw the user’s attention to scenarios where:
The delta crosses above or below its moving average, suggesting a potential shift in volume pressure.
The cumulative delta supports the direction of this crossover.
Optional filters can further restrict these markings to periods where:
The short-term trend (as inferred from EMA slope) supports the direction.
Volume is elevated relative to a recent average.
A user-defined cooldown period prevents multiple markings within short succession to avoid clutter.
It is essential to underscore that these markers do not constitute buy or sell advice . Their role is diagnostic , helping the trader to identify potential moments of interest which should be analyzed in conjunction with broader context, such as trend structure, price action, support/resistance levels, or external market data.
EMA Structure
Six EMAs with fixed lengths (13 to 56) are plotted and colored dynamically based on the most recent crossover between the fastest and slowest (EMA1 and EMA6). These EMAs help visualize short- to mid-term trends. The crossover itself is marked with symbols, with vertical offset based on ATR to maintain chart readability.
Average Line (AVG)
The indicator also calculates an average price based on a fixed window (100 bars). This is not a standard moving average but rather a raw average of recent prices stored in a circular buffer. The average is plotted, and its relative distance to the current price is labeled as a percentage. This feature serves as a simplified representation of fair value or mean reversion anchor.
EMA6 vs AVG Cross
Another layer of point of interest detection involves EMA6 crossing the AVG line. This crossover is only considered valid if EMA6 shows slope consistency in the crossing direction. These events are marked using symbols and offset vertically to avoid overlapping price action.
Divergence Detection
The script detects both regular and hidden divergences between price and delta:
Regular divergences are defined when price makes a higher high or lower low, while delta fails to confirm (makes a lower high or higher low).
Hidden divergences occur when price retraces (lower high or higher low), but delta moves against this retracement, indicating underlying strength or weakness.
Divergence points are labeled with "R" (regular) or "H" (hidden) and appear at local pivot highs or lows. The number of visible divergence labels can be limited for chart clarity.
POC and nPOC Calculations
The script includes a simplified volume profile implementation, calculating:
POC (Point of Control): the price level with the highest volume for the given period.
nPOC (non-tested POC): historical POCs that have not yet been revisited by price.
Price levels are bucketed into rows (user-defined), and volume per bucket is tracked to identify the POC. Upon a new period (e.g., day, week), a horizontal POC line is drawn. Once tested by price, the line’s appearance changes (color fades, label shrinks), helping users distinguish between untouched and touched levels.
Limits are enforced on the number of retained POCs and their maximum distance from current bars to optimize performance and chart readability.
Exchange Aggregation
Volume data is aggregated across major exchanges. This ensures that the delta calculation captures a broader market picture beyond a single venue, reducing exchange-specific noise.
How to Interpret Values
Delta Band: Wide bands indicate strong directional imbalance. Narrow bands suggest indecision or low volume.
EMA Crossover Symbols: Appear on directional shifts in moving averages. Multiple EMAs reinforcing the same slope typically indicate stronger trend.
AVG Line: Represents average price over recent history. Large deviations can indicate overextension or potential mean reversion.
Divergences: Regular ones may point to weakening momentum; hidden ones can suggest continuation despite corrective price action.
POC / nPOC: Key volume-based support/resistance levels. Untested nPOCs can act as magnets for price retests.
How to Best Use This Indicator
Use in conjunction with trend context (e.g., higher timeframe EMAs) to avoid counter-trend indications.
Treat delta spikes as caution zones—especially if they occur at known support/resistance.
Watch for divergences as early warning signs before price reverses.
Use POC/nPOC as target levels, especially if aligned with delta signals.
Apply volume and trend filters to reduce noise on shorter timeframes.
Added Value
Multi-exchange volume aggregation makes the delta calculation more robust.
Real-time cumulative delta overlaid directly on the price chart provides immediate context.
Points of interest on chart are conservative and filterable, intended to reduce false positives.
The combination of delta, trend-following EMAs, fair value line, and volume profile data is rarely found in one overlay script.
POC/nPOC visualization based on real traded volume helps identify high-interest zones for future price interaction.
Why Is It Worth Paying For
While free alternatives may provide partial insights (e.g., basic delta or single EMA crossovers), this indicator integrates multiple domains—delta, divergence, average price, trend overlays, and profile levels—into a coherent, optimized chart tool. The value lies not just in having these tools, but in how they are synchronized and visualized.
Furthermore, sourcing and synchronizing volume data from multiple exchanges for delta estimation is not straightforward in Pine Script and adds to the indicator's complexity and utility.
Disclaimers and Limitations
Delta estimation is based on candle structure and assumes wick/body distribution reflects buyer/seller activity, which may not always be precise.
Multi-exchange volume data relies on availability via TradingView’s request.security() function; if exchange data is missing or delayed, results may be incomplete.
Divergences do not guarantee reversals—should be used as part of a broader analysis framework.
On illiquid instruments or exotic pairs, the value of delta and volume-based analytics may be reduced due to unreliable volume.
Delta Zones🔶 Delta Zones — A Precision Tool for Time-Price Mapping 🔶
The Delta Zones indicator is a refined structure-mapping tool that dynamically tracks zones of dominant trading activity across recent sessions.
These zones are projected forward in time, offering traders a reliable visual guide to where significant interactions between buyers and sellers are likely to take place.
This tool was designed for intraday use, but its adaptability makes it powerful even on higher timeframes, giving traders insights into market behavior without the noise. You need to change session setting from indicator to higher TF that the chart. For intra, its by default on daily.
🔧 What This Indicator Does
Detects and displays the key activity zone for the current session (today).
Recalls the most active zone from the previous session, allowing you to track momentum or reversal bias.
Color codes each zone based on where price currently trades relative to it:
Neutral gradient (orange/white) for today’s zone, showing where price is consolidating or reacting.
Bullish green fade if price is trading above yesterday’s zone.
Bearish red fade if price is trading below yesterday’s zone.
Extends each zone forward (default 200 bars) so you can observe price behavior as it revisits these areas over time.
📈 How to Use Delta Zones
Trend Continuation:
If price pushes beyond today's zone and maintains momentum, it may suggest strength in that direction. Watch how price reacts on retests of this zone.
Fade or Mean Reversion:
When price strays far from a Delta Zone and struggles to gain ground, it often rotates back into that region. These situations can offer attractive risk-reward setups.
Zone Polarity from Prior Sessions:
Yesterday’s zone serves as a directional cue — if price opens and stays above it (green-filled), sentiment favors strength. If it stays below (red-filled), weakness may persist.
Support/Resistance Anchors:
Use zones as dynamic S/R levels — watch for wick tests, engulfing candles, or volume surges at zone edges for potential trade entries or exits.
🎛️ Inputs You Can Control
Session Length (Default: Daily): Defines how often a new zone is calculated.
💡 Pro Tip
These zones act like magnetic fields around price — not only can they contain price, but they also attract it. The key is to recognize when price is respecting, rejecting, or absorbing at the edges of the zone.
Pair Delta Zones with your favorite price action, momentum, or volume tools for sharper decision-making. For example, "Accumulation/Distribution Money Flow" script which I published few days ago.
⚠️ Note
This is a conceptually adaptive framework designed to simplify the visual structure of the market. While no model guarantees predictive accuracy, Delta Zones are especially useful for contextualizing price behavior and anticipating where meaningful reactions may occur.
This is an educational idea, use it at your own risk.
Past performance does not guarantee future success.

ZenAlgo - BenderThis script combines several volume-based methodologies into a single chart overlay to help traders analyze market participation and volume distribution. It aggregates volume from multiple sources—spot and perpetual markets across different exchanges—and processes it to display various insights directly on the chart.
The script provides a detailed view of both individual-bar volume and broader aggregated trends. It calculates certain values, plots different shapes and overlays, and includes an optional informational table. However, it does not offer financial signals or predict future price movements. Instead, it presents multiple volume and range-related highlights for educational or analytical observations.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the core elements in this script:
Core Data Calculation and Aggregation
To build a comprehensive volume picture, the script retrieves volume data from multiple predefined exchanges for both Spot and Perpetual pairs. The volume for each bar is processed in Aggregated mode , meaning it combines data across selected sources to produce a single composite volume value.
The script applies average-based aggregation to calculate the final volume figures. The total volume is then used as the basis for further calculations, such as buy/sell volume decomposition and Delta analysis.
Buy/Sell Volume Decomposition
Each bar’s total volume is separated into an estimated buy portion and a sell portion. This decomposition uses logic that considers wick length, body size, and whether the bar closed higher or lower than it opened. The script assigns fractions of the total volume to the upper wick, lower wick, and body, then multiplies these by the total aggregated volume to estimate buy and sell volumes.
This breakdown is calculated separately for spot-only volume , perp-only volume , and their aggregated sums, allowing traders to analyze how much of each bar’s volume is estimated as "buy" or "sell."
Delta and Cumulative Delta
The script computes a Delta (buy volume minus sell volume) for each bar. A positive Delta suggests more buying during that bar, while a negative Delta suggests more selling.
It also computes Cumulative Delta , summing this Delta over 14 bars (a fixed period). This allows users to observe how short-term buy/sell imbalances accumulate over time.
Visual Bar Coloring (PVSRA Logic)
The script includes logic based on PVSRA (Price Volume Support Resistance Analysis) , which examines average volume over a recent lookback period to determine whether a bar meets certain "climax" or "above-average" thresholds.
Bars are categorized as:
Climax Up or Climax Down: If a bar meets strong volume and range conditions, it is identified as a high-activity bar.
Neutral Colors: Bars that do not meet the threshold are identified as standard volume bars.
Table Summaries
The script includes an optional Spot vs. Perpetual volume table that provides:
Aggregated Spot vs. Perpetual buy/sell volumes
The net difference between buying and selling
The total sum across all included sources
Percentage breakdown of buying vs. selling
A separate multi-timeframe table calculates volume-related metrics for fixed timeframes (15, 60, and 240 minutes), allowing traders to compare their current timeframe with broader trends.
Highlighted Shapes and Diamonds
The script places shape markers above or below bars when certain conditions are met, including:
Dots (circles): Representing a significant increase in net Delta compared to the previous bar.
Diamonds: Markers that appear when volume-based conditions align with predefined thresholds. These vary in size and include an optional "Hardcore Mode" , which applies stricter filtering.
Crossover Triangles: These appear when the internally computed Delta MA (a moving average of Delta) crosses above or below a predefined EMA.
These markers highlight notable changes in volume, Delta, or price action but do not constitute predictive trading signals.
Delta Averages and Overlaid EMAs
The script plots a histogram of the current net Delta (buy minus sell) . Additionally, a Delta Moving Average (Delta MA) is used for tracking trends. The Delta MA is plotted alongside predefined Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) , such as:
A Delta MA calculated using an exponential moving average (EMA) over 21 bars.
A set of predefined EMAs (lengths such as 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 21, 25, etc.) plotted to visualize momentum changes.
Areas between these EMAs can be filled with translucent shading to highlight momentum shifts.
Comparing the Delta MA to the overlaid EMAs helps track changes in Delta momentum over time.
Interpreting the Elements
When using this script, consider the following:
Volume Aggregation: The script aggregates volume across multiple Spot and Perpetual sources to provide a broad market view.
Delta and Cumulative Delta: The Delta histogram may spike positively or negatively, highlighting areas of potential buying or selling pressure.
Table Data: If enabled, the tables display buy/sell volume splits for Spot and Perpetual markets, along with multi-timeframe comparisons.
EMA Overlays on Delta: The stacked EMAs help visualize short-term vs. longer-term Delta changes.
Shape Markers: Dots, diamonds, and triangles emphasize notable shifts in volume or Delta but do not imply recommendations for action.
Usage Tips
Toggle "Hardcore Mode" to apply stricter filtering to highlight conditions.
Enable or disable the Spot vs. Perpetual Table to see if the breakdown of volume sources is useful.
Use the multi-timeframe table to compare intraday data with broader trends.
If the chart appears too cluttered, toggle off features like PVSRA color tints or some EMAs to focus on specific elements.
Final Thoughts
This script integrates multiple volume-based calculations, range analysis, aggregated volume from predefined tickers, and various moving averages for Delta. Its visual layers—color-coded bars, histograms, shape markers, and tables—offer a rich perspective on market activity.
Users can analyze these elements across any timeframe or market combination they prefer. The script does not provide buy/sell signals or make predictions —it is purely an analytical tool for understanding volume-based market dynamics.
Traders should interpret these visual elements according to their own strategy and trading approach.
