Volume Bars and Regions of InterestThe bars are colored according to the volume traded. The volume weights were distributed logically for a better analysis.
<0.666 low volume
0.666 to 1.333 median volume
1,333 to 2,666 high volume
> 2,666 'institutional' volume
The moving average bands are the average of the highs and lows. They show a region of interest and not just a 'line'.

Multi-Timeframe Volume indicator by @jpkxyz
This script is a Multi-Timeframe Volume Z-Score Indicator. It dynamically calculates /the Z-Score of volume over different timeframes to assess how significantly current
volume deviates from its historical average. The Z-Score is computed for each
timeframe independently and is based on a user-defined lookback period. The
script switches between timeframes automatically, adapting to the chart's current
timeframe using `timeframe.multiplier`.
The Z-Score formula used is: (current volume - mean) / standard deviation, where
mean and standard deviation are calculated over the lookback period.
The indicator highlights periods of "significant" and "massive" volume by comparing
the Z-Score to user-specified thresholds (`zScoreThreshold` for significant volume
and `massiveZScoreThreshold` for massive volume). The script flags buy or sell
conditions based on whether the current close is higher or lower than the open.
Visual cues:
- Dark Green for massive buy volume.
- Red for massive sell volume.
- Green for significant buy volume.
- Orange for significant sell volume.
- Gray for normal volume.
The script also provides customizable alert conditions for detecting significant or massive buy/sell volume events, allowing users to set real-time alerts.
Auto Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) [TANHEF]Auto Volume Spread Analysis (visible volume and spread bars auto-scaled): Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
All the sections below contain the same descriptions as my other indicator "Volume Spread Analysis" with the exception of 'Auto Scaling'.
█ Auto-Scaling
This indicator auto-scales spread bars to match the visible volume bars, unlike the previous "Volume Spread Analysis " version which limited the number of visible spread bars to a fixed count. The auto-scaling feature allows for easier navigation through historical data, enabling both more historical spread bars to be viewed and more historical VSA pattern labels being displayed without requiring using the bar replay tool. Please note that this indicator’s auto-scaling feature recalculates the visible bars on the chart, causing the indicator to reload whenever the chart is moved.
Auto-scaled spread bars have two display options (set via 'Spread Bars Method' setting):
Lines: a bar lookback limit of 500 bars.
Polylines: no bar lookback limit as only plotted on visible bars on chart, which uses multiple polylines are used.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and spread bars that consist of color coded levels, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and/or spread bars that consist of color coded levels. If both of these are displayed, the number of spread bars can be limited for visual appeal and understanding, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. While automatic calculation of the number of visual bars for auto scaling is possible, it is avoided to prevent the indicator from reloading whenever the number of visual price bars on the chart is adjusted, ensuring uninterrupted analysis. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.

█ Usage:
The Volume Spread Analysis indicator is a helpful tool for leveraging volume spread analysis to make informed trading decisions. It offers comprehensive visual and textual cues on the chart, making it easier to identify market conditions, potential reversals, and continuations. Whether analyzing historical data or forecasting future trends, this indicator provides insights into the underlying factors driving market movements.
Delta ZigZag [LuxAlgo]The Delta ZigZag indicator is focused on volume analysis during the development of ZigZag lines. Volume data can be retrieved from a Lower timeframe (LTF) or real-time Tick data.
Our Delta ZigZag publication can be helpful in detecting indications of a trend reversal or potential weakening/strengthening of the trend.
This indicator by its very nature backpaints, meaning that the displayed components are offset in the past.
🔶 USAGE
The ZigZag line is formed by connecting Swings , which can be set by adjusting the Left and Right settings.
Left is the number of bars for evaluation at the left of the evaluated point.
Right is the number of bars for evaluation at the right of the evaluated point.
A valid Swing is a value higher or lower than the bars at the left/right .
A higher Left or Right set number will generally create broader ZigZag ( ZZ ) lines, while the drawing of the ZZ line will be delayed (especially when Right is set higher). On the other hand, when Right is set at 0, ZZ line are drawn quickly. However, this results in a hyperactive switching of the ZZ direction.
To ensure maximum visibility of values, we recommend using " Bars " from the " Bar's style " menu.
🔹 Volume examination
The script provides two options for Volume examination :
Examination per ZigZag line
Examination per bar
Bullish Volume is volume associated with a green bar ( close > open )
Bearish Volume is volume associated with a red bar ( close < open )
Neutral Volume (volume on a " close == open" bar) is not included in this publication.
🔹 Examination per ZigZag line
As long as the price moves in the same direction, the present ZZ line will continue. When the direction of the price changes, the bull/bear volume of the previous ZZ line is evaluated and drawn on the chart.
The ZZ line is divided into two parts: a bullish green line and a bearish red line.
The intercept of these two lines will depend on the ratio of bullish/bearish volume
This ratio is displayed at the intercept as % bullish volume (Settings -> Show % Bullish Volume)
* Note that we cannot draw between 2 bars. Therefore, if a ZZ line is only 1 bar long, the intercept will be at one of those 2 bars and not in between. The percentage can be helpful in interpreting bull/bear volume.
In the example above (2 most right labels), you can see that an overlap of 2 labels is prevented, ensuring the ability to evaluate the bullish % volume of the ZZ line .
The percentage will be colored green when more than 50%, red otherwise. The color will fade when the direction is contradictory; for example, 40% when the ZZ line goes up or 70% when the ZZ line falls.
More details can be visualized by enabling " Show " and choosing 1 of 3 options:
Average Volume Delta/bar
Average Volume/bar
Normalised Volume Delta
For both 'averages', the sum of " Volume "/" Volume Delta " of every bar on the ZZ line is divided by the number of bars (per ZZ line ).
The " Normalised Volume Delta " is calculated by dividing the sum of " Delta Volume " by the sum of " Volume " (neutral volume not included), which is displayed as a percentage.
All three options will display a label at the last point of the ZZ line and be coloured similarly: green when the ratio bullish/bearish volume of the ZZ line is bullish and red otherwise. Here, the colour also fades when it is bullish, but the ZZ line falls or when it is bearish with a rising ZZ line .
A tooltip at each label hints at the chosen option.
You can pick one of the options or combine them together.
🔹 Examination per bar
Besides information about what's happening during the ZZ line , information per bar can be visualized by enabling " Show Details " in Settings .
Split Volume per bar : show the sum of bullish (upV) and bearish (dnV) volume per bar
Volume (bar) : Total Volume per bar (bullish + bearish volume, neutral volume not included)
Δ Volume (bar) : Show Delta Volume (bullish - bearish volume)
🔹 Using Lower Timeframe Data
The ZigZag lines using LTF data are colored brighter. Also note the vertical line where the LTF data starts and the gap between ZZ lines with LTF data and without.
When " LTF " is chosen for the " Data from: " option in Settings , data is retrieved from Lower Timeframe bars (default 1 minute). When the LTF setting is higher than the current chart timeframe, the LTF period will automatically be adjusted to the current timeframe to prevent errors.
As there is a 100K limit to the number of LTF intrabars that can be analyzed by a script, this implies the higher the difference between LTF and current TF; the fewer ZZ lines will be seen.
🔹 Using real-time tick data
The principles are mostly the same as those of LTF data. However, in contrast with LTF data, where you already have LTF ZZ lines when loading the script, real-time tick data-based ZZ lines will only start after loading the chart.
Changing the settings of a ticker will reset everything. However, returning to the same settings/ticker would show the cached data again.
Here, you can see that changing settings reset everything, but returning after 2 minutes to the initial settings shows the cached data. Don't expect it to be cached for hours or days, though.
🔶 DETAILS
The timeframe used for LTF data should always be the same or lower than the current TF; otherwise, an error occurs. This snippet prevents the error and adjusts the LTF to the current TF when LTF is too high:
res = input.timeframe('1')
res := timeframe.from_seconds( math.min( timeframe.in_seconds(timeframe.period), timeframe.in_seconds(res) ) )
🔶 SETTINGS
Data from: LTF (Lower TimeFrame) or Ticks (Real-time ticks)
Res: Lower TimeFrame (only applicable when choosing LTF )
Option: choose " high/low " or " close " for Swing detection
🔹 ZigZag
Left: Lookback period for Swings
Right: Confirmation period after potential Swing
🔹 ZigZag Delta
Show % Bullish Volume : % bullish volume against total volume during the ZZ line
Show:
Average Volume Delta/bar
Average Volume/bar
Normalised Volume Delta
See USAGE for more information
🔹 Bar Data
Split Volume per bar: shows the sum of bullish ( upV ) and bearish ( dnV ) volume per bar
Volume (bar): Total Volume per bar (bullish + bearish volume, neutral volume not included)
Δ Volume (bar): Show Volume Delta (bullish - bearish volume)
Volume Delta Trailing Stop [LuxAlgo]The ' Volume Delta Trailing Stop ' indicator uses Lower Time Frame (LTF) volume delta data which can provide potential entries together with a Volume-Delta based Trailing Stop-line .
🔶 USAGE
Our 'Volume Delta Trailing Stop' script can show potential entries/Stop Loss lines
A trigger line needs to be broken before a position is taken, after which a Volume Delta-controlled Trailing Stop-line is created:
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Volume rises when bought or sold
🔹 When the opening price appears on the chart, a buy/sell order has been executed.
If that order is less than the available supply of that particular price, volume will rise, without moving the price.
🔹 When the opening price is the same as the closing price, the volume of that bar can be seen as "neutral volume" (nV); nor "up", nor "down" volume.
Example
A buy order doesn't fill the first available supply in the order book. This price will be the opening price with a certain volume.
When at closing time, price still hasn't moved (the first available supply in the order book isn't filled, or no movement downwards),
the closing price will be equal to the opening price, but with volume. This can be seen as "neutral volume (nV)".
🔹 Delta Volume (ΔV): this is "up volume" minus "down volume"
🔹 Standard volume is colored red when closing price is lower than opening price ( = "down volume").
🔹 Standard volume is colored green when closing price is higher OR equal (nV) than opening price ( = "up volume").
🔹 Neutral Volume
The "Neutral-Volume" is considered "Up-Volume" - setting will dictate whether nV is considered as green 'buy' volume or not.
🔶 EXAMPLE
29 July 10:00 -> 10:05, chart timeframe 5 minutes, open 29311.28, close 29313.89
close > open, so the volume (39.55) is colored green ("up volume").
(The Volume script used in the following examples is the open-source publication Volume Columns w. Alerts (V) from LucF )
Let's zoom to the 1-minute TF:
The same period is now divided into more bars, volume direction (color) is dependable on the difference between open and close.
Counting up and down volume gives a more detailed result, it remains in an upward direction though):
(ΔV = +15.51)
Let's further zoom in to the 1-second TF:
The same period is now divided into even more bars (more possibility for changing direction on each bar)
Here we see several bars that haven't moved in price, but they have volume ("neutral" volume).
(neutral volume is coloured light green here, while up volume is coloured darker green)
When we count all green and red volume bars, the result is quite different:
(ΔV = -0.35)
In total more volume is found when price went downwards, yet price went up in these 5 minutes.
-> This is the heart of our publication, when this divergence occurs, you can see a barcolor changement:
• orange: when price went up, but LTF Volume was mainly in a downward direction.
• blue: when price went down, but LTF Volume was mainly in an upwards direction.
When we split the green "up volume" into "up" and "neutral", the difference is even higher
(here "neutral volume" is colored grey):
(ΔV = -12.76; "up" - "down")
🔶 CONCEPTS
bullishBear = current bar is red but LTF volume is in upward direction -> blue bar
bearishBull = current bar is green but LTF volume is in downward direction -> orange bar
🔹 Potential positioning - forming of Trigger-line
When not in position, the script will wait for a divergence between price and volume direction. When found, a Trigger-line will appear:
• at high when a blue bar appears ( bullishBear ).
• at low when an orange bar appears ( bearishBull ).
Next step is when the Trigger-line is broken by close or high/low (settings: Trigger )
Here, the closing price went under the grey Trigger-line -> bearish position:
🔹 Trailing Stop-line
When the Trigger-line is broken, the Trailing Stop-line (TS-line) will start:
• low when bullish position
• high when bearish position
You can choose (settings -> Trigger -> Close or H/L ) whether close price or high/low should break the Trigger-line
When alerts are enabled ("Any alert() function call"), you'll get the following message:
• ' signal up ' when bullish position
• ' signal down' when bearish position
After that, the TS-line will be adjusted when:
• a blue bullishBear bar appears when in bullish position -> lowest of {low , previous blue bar's high or orange bar's low}
• an orange bearishBull bar appears when in bearish position -> highest of {high, previous blue bar's high or orange bar's low}
When alerts are enabled ("Any alert() function call"), and the TS-line is broken, you'll get the following message:
• ' TS-line broken down ' when out bullish position
• ' TS-line broken up ' when out bearish position
🔹 Reference Point
Default the direction of price will be evaluated by comparing closing price with opening price.
When open and close are the same, you'll get "neutral volume".
You can use "previous close" instead (as in built-in volume indicator) to include gaps.
If close equals open , but close is lower than previous close , it will be regarded as " down volume ",
similar, when close is higher than previous close , it will be regarded as " up volume "
Note, the setting applies for the current timeframe AND Lower timeframe:
Based on: " open " (close - open)
Based on: " previous close " (close - previous close)
🔹 Adjustment
When the TS-line changes, this can be adjusted with a percentage of price , or a multiple of " True Range "
Default (Δ line -> Adjustment - 0)
Δ line -> Adjustment 0.03% (of price)
Δ line -> Mult of TR (10)
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 LTF: choose your Lower TimeFrame: 1S (seconds), 5S, 10S, 15S, 30S, 1 minute)
🔹 Trigger: Choose the trigger for breaking the Trigger-line ; close or H/L (high when bullish position, low when bearish position)
🔹 Δ line ( Trailing Stop-line ): add/subtract an adjustment when the TS-line changes ( default: Adjustment ):
• Adjustment ( default: 0 ): add/subtract an extra % of price
• Mult of TR : add/subtract a multiple of True Range
🔹 Based on: compare closing price against:
• open
• previous close
🔹 "Neutral-Volume" is considered "Up-Volume" : this setting will dictate whether nV is considered as green 'buy' volume or not.
🔶 CONSIDERATIONS
🔹 The lowest LTF (1S) will give you more detail and will get data close to tick data.
However, a maximum of 100,000 intrabars can be used in calculations .
This means on the daily chart you won't see anything since 1 day ~ 86400 seconds. (just over 1 bar)
-> choose a lower chart timeframe, or choose a higher LTF (5S, 10S, ... 1 minute)
🔹 Always choose a LTF lower than the current chart timeframe.
🔹 Pine Script™ code using this request.security_lower_tf() may calculate differently on historical and real-time bars, leading to repainting .
VPA ANALYSIS VPA Analysis provide the indications for various conditions as per the Volume Spread Analysis concept. The various legends are provided below
LEGEND DETAILS
UT1 - Upthrust Bar: This will be widespread Bar on high Volume closing on the low. This normally happens after an up move.

This library is a simplified and modular version of the original "Realtime Volume Bars w Market Buy/Sell/Neutral split & Mkt Delta" indicator by the_MarketWhisperer , tailored for integration into custom scripts.
How bars are classified
- Up Bars
If the current bar’s closing price is higher than the previous bar’s closing price, it is classified as an up bar.
Volume handling:
The increase in volume for this bar is added to the up volume.
This represents buying pressure.
- Down Bars
If the current bar’s closing price is lower than the previous bar’s closing price, it is classified as a down bar.
Volume handling:
The increase in volume for this bar is added to the down volume.
This represents selling pressure.
- Neutral Bars
If the current bar’s closing price is the same as the previous bar’s closing price, it is classified as a neutral bar.
Volume handling:
If neutral volume is enabled, the volume is added to the neutral volume.
If neutral volume is not enabled, the volume is assigned to the same direction as the previous bar (up or down). If the previous direction is unknown, it is added to the neutral volume.

High Volume Candles Detector - Open Source CodeGreetings, fellow traders!
Throughout my trading career, I've been intrigued by the dynamic interplay between candlestick patterns and trading volume. This fascination led me to develop an open-source indicator to help illuminate these patterns for the broader trading community.
Upon researching the Public Library, I found that many indicators relating to candlestick/volume analysis are proprietary and not open-source. This discovery further fueled my commitment to contribute a free, accessible tool that traders of all levels can utilize in their technical analysis.
Thus, I am excited to present to you our High Volume Bars Indicator. A unique tool that I believe fills a gap in the Public Library. I truly hope you find it beneficial in your trading journey and that it empowers you to make more informed decisions.
Description:
The High Volume Bars Detector is designed to help traders identify bars with significantly higher volume than the average. Users can filter in the settings menu:
1) The length of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) for volume, allowing you to define the average volume over a specific number of bars.
2) The Volume Multiplier, a factor that determines how much greater the volume of a bar should be compared to the SMA to qualify as a high-volume bar.
3) The Lookback Period, a specified number of candles used as a comparative benchmark for identifying the highest volume.
4) If the Volume bar is green or red, so if the candle price is --> close > open or open > close
Examples to better understand the logic of the indicator:
1) Length of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) for Volume: This setting allows you to define the average volume over a specific number of bars. For instance, if you set the SMA length to 20, the indicator will calculate the average volume of the past 20 bars and use it as a baseline to identify high volume bars.
2) Volume Multiplier: This is a critical factor that determines the threshold for what constitutes a high-volume bar. If you set the volume multiplier to 2.0, for example, the indicator will flag any bar where the volume is twice the value of the SMA volume as a high-volume bar.
3) Lookback Period: This setting lets you specify the number of candles that the indicator should consider when determining the highest volume. For instance, if the lookback period is set to 14, the indicator will compare the volume of the current bar with the volumes of the previous 14 bars. If the current bar's volume is the highest, it will be flagged.
4) Volume Bar Color: This filter helps you identify whether a high-volume bar is bullish or bearish. If the bar is green (close > open), it suggests buyers were dominant during that period. If the bar is red (open > close), it suggests sellers had the upper hand. By setting this filter, you can choose to focus on high volume bars that are either bullish (green) or bearish (red) or both, depending on your trading strategy.
Remember, these filters offer a level of customization that allows you to tailor the High Volume Bars Detector to your unique trading style and requirements. Always remember to adapt these settings to align with your overall trading plan and risk tolerance.
Keep attention!
It is important to note that no trading indicator or strategy is foolproof, and there is always a risk of losses in trading. While this indicator may provide useful information for making conclusions, it should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. Traders should always use proper risk management techniques and consider multiple factors when making trading decisions.

Volume Pressure BarsDescription
This indicator transforms the normal volume bars into buying and selling segments. This allows the user to easily see how much buying and selling pressure is occurring on any given timeframe. The buying and selling pressure values are calculated using the following equations:
buyingPressure = volume * (close - low) / (high - low)
sellingPressure = volume * (high - close) / (high - low)
Moving Average Line
Also included in this indicator is the optional moving average line. This allows the user to easily see if volume is above or below the average line. All aspects of the moving average line can be adjusted. The line can be toggled on & off, the length of the moving average can be adjusted, the mathematical smoothing function can be chosen, and the color & style of the line can be configured.
Scaling
If the volume pressure bars are displayed on the same “pane” as the price candles, then the volume bars can be scaled up or down. In the Input settings check the “Scale Bars” checkbox. Then increase the “Scaling Factor” number to make all of the volume bars smaller (to allow more room on your chart) or decrease the number to make the volume bars bigger.
IMPORTANT NOTE #1: scaling only works when the volume pressure bars are in the same pane as the price candles. If the volume pressures bars are in their own pane, then the “Scale Bars” toggle has no effect.
IMPORTANT NOTE #2: if the volume pressure bars are in the same pane as the price candles then there will be a sizable gap between the bottom of the volume bars and the time axis on the TradingView chart. This IS NOT a bug in this indicators code. The gap IS a bug in the TradingView platform that affects all volume indicators besides the default volume indicator that comes with each blank chart. To remove the gap then move the “_Vol Bars” indicator to its own pane above or below the main pain.
Volume Numbers
In Pine Script there is not a true stacked bar chart plot. What the author has to use are multiple bar charts that are in front and behind each other. This gives the impression that the bars are truly stacked because the selling pressure is always smaller than the total volume on any given bar. There is no issue to visually look at the bars and see their heights but if the user used their cursor to hover on a bar to get the actual volume pressure values it leads to issues. To address this problem the author has created a third invisible bar called “Buy Vol Label” that is the buy pressure volume value. Thus when the user hovers the cursor over a bar the first value (from left to right) is the total volume for the bar, the second value is the sell pressure, the third value is the buy pressure, and the fourth value (if toggled on) is the moving average value.
efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA(Google translation from Russian.)
This indicator shows the effectiveness of selling or buying.
It is calculated as follows: using percentrank, the volume and the value of the spread are estimated (momentum = 1)
the resulting estimate of the volume value is divided by the estimate of the spread (momentum = 1) and thus we obtain the value. The larger it is, the more efficient and easier the price movement was.
If the indicator value is small, then this means that the movement was ineffective, because the volume (money) was invested. but no result.
The color of the volume bars is assigned as follows:
Buyers:
If the volume is large - Blue - green
If middle, then blue
Small - light blue
Sellers:
If the volume is large - Burgundy color
If middle, then purple
Small volume - light purple
Indicator parameters:
Comparison period - the period at which the volumes and spread are compared with each other - by default it is 50, selected as the most universal period suitable for different timeframes. But for daytime ones. Weekly and monthly timeframes may need to be shortened. This is true after significant spikes in volume that are exceptional over the long term.
Period spread - Bars from close to close - or in other words, it is momentum - defaults to 1
sensitivity of increased volumes - according to the percentrank indicator - the limit above which the volume will be considered large, the same as in the Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2 - for clarity, I recommend looking at it.
The default is 85, which means. that if the current value of the volume is greater than 85% of the remaining values in this period, then such a value of the volume will be considered high.
medium volume sensitivity - the same sensitivity of increased volumes but for medium volumes.
multiplier of increased volumes - this is an empirical factor to emphasize the importance of increased volumes - default = 20
multiplier of average volumes - the same. As above, but for medium volumes - the default is 10
reduced volume multiplier - Default is 1.
Knowledge of VSA is required to read this indicator
This indicator is recommended for use with indicators:

Russian language
Этот индикатор показывает эффективность продаж или покупок.
Рассчитывается следующим образом: с помощью percentrank оценивается величина объема и велечина спреда (momentum = 1)
полученная оценка велечины объема делится на оценку спреда (momentum = 1) и таким образом получаем значение. Чем оно больше, тем движение цены было эффективнее и легче.
Если значение индикатора маленькое, то это означает, что движение было неэффективным, поскольку объем (деньги) вложили. а результата нет.
Цвет барам объемов присваиваются следующим образом:
У покупателей:
Если объем большой - Сине – зелёный цвет
Если средний – то голубой
Маленький – свело-голубой
У продавцов:
Если объем большой - Бордовый цвет
Если средний – то пурпурный
Маленький объем – светло-пурпурный
Параметры индикатора:
Comparison period (период для сравнения) – период на котором между собой сравниваются объемы и спред – по умолчанию равно 50 , выбрано как наиболее универсальный период подходящий для различных таймфреймов. Но для дневных. Недельных и месячных таймфреймов может потребоваться уменьшить период. Это актуально после значительных всплесков объемов, которые являются исключительными на длительном периоде.
Period spread - Bars from close to close (Период спреда - Баров от закрытия до закрытия) – или другими словами это momentum – по умолчанию равно 1
sensitivity of increased volumes (чувствительность повышенных объемов) – согласно индикатору percentrank – граница выше которой объем будет считаться большим, то же самое, что в индикаторе Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2 – для наглядности как это работает рекомендую посмотреть его.
По умолчанию задано 85 – это означает. что если текущее значение объема больше, чем 85% остальных значений на этом периоде, то такое значение объема будет считаться высоким.
medium volume sensitivity (чувствительность средних объемов) – то же самое sensitivity of increased volumes но для средних объемов.
multiplier of increased volumes (множитель (вес) повышенных объемов) – это эмперический коэффициент для придания особой важности повышенным объемам- по умолчанию = 20
multiplier of average volumes (множитель (вес) средних объемов) – то же самое. Что и выше, но для средних объемов – по умолчанию равно 10
reduced volume multiplier (множитель (вес) пониженных объемов) – по умолчанию равно 1.

BCVC - Volume & Big Candle ColorThe BCVC (Volume & Big Candle Color) indicator helps traders identify significant price movements accompanied by unusual volume activity. By dynamically coloring bars based on volume spikes and candle size, it highlights potential momentum shifts, breakouts, or reversals. This tool is ideal for traders who want to:
Spot institutional buying/selling activity.
Confirm trend strength using volume and price volatility.
Filter noise by focusing on high-impact bars.
Key Features
Volume Spike Detection:
Compares current volume to a moving average (EMA) of volume.
Highlights bars where volume exceeds the average by a user-defined multiplier.
Big Candle Detection:
Identifies bars with a range (high-low) larger than the historical average range (EMA of candle ranges).
Thresholds for "big candles" are customizable.
Color-Coded Logic:
White Bars: High volume + Big candle + Bullish (close > open).
Orange Bars: High volume + Big candle + Bearish (close < open).
Blue Bars: High volume + Regular candle + Bullish.
Maroon Bars: High volume + Regular candle + Bearish.
Input Parameters
Volume Settings:
Volume Period: EMA length for average volume calculation (default: 20).
Volume Multiplier: Threshold multiplier for volume spikes (e.g., 1.25 = 25% above average).
Candle Size Settings:
Lookback Period: EMA length for average candle range (default: 7).
Big Candle Multiplier: Threshold multiplier for large candles (e.g., 1.3 = 30% above average range).
How It Works
Volume Analysis:
The indicator calculates an EMA of volume over the specified period.
If the current bar’s volume exceeds Average Volume × Volume Multiplier, it’s flagged as a high-volume bar.
Candle Range Analysis:
The average candle range (high-low) is calculated using an EMA over the lookback period.
A "big candle" is identified when the current bar’s range exceeds Average Range × Big Candle Multiplier.
Combined Signals:
High-volume bars are colored based on whether they are bullish/bearish and whether their range exceeds the big-candle threshold.
Example: A white bar (high volume + big candle + bullish) suggests strong buying pressure with institutional participation.
Usage Scenarios
Breakout Confirmation: A white/orange bar at a support/resistance level may validate a breakout.
Reversal Signals: A maroon/orange bar after a long trend could indicate exhaustion and potential reversal.
Trend Strength: Clusters of blue/white bars during uptrends (or maroon/orange in downtrends) confirm momentum.
Benefits
Visual Clarity: Instantly spot high-impact bars without manually scanning volume or candle size.
Customizable Sensitivity: Adjust multipliers to filter noise (e.g., increase for fewer signals).
Universal Application: Works on all timeframes and instruments (stocks, forex, crypto).
Notes
Best Paired With: Trendlines, support/resistance levels, or momentum oscillators (e.g., RSI).
Avoid False Signals: Use higher multipliers (e.g., 1.5) on lower timeframes to reduce noise.
Enhanced VSA Volume & Candle Colors with MA SelectionOverview:
This script aims to enhance the visualization of volume spikes and price action by coloring volume bars and price candles dynamically based on the volume behavior. It allows traders to customize the type of volume moving average (SMA, EMA, or VWMA) used and apply various color schemes to highlight high, low, and extreme volume conditions. Additionally, alerts are generated when extreme or low-volume conditions occur.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Features:
Customizable Volume Lookback Period:
The script allows users to define the period for calculating the moving average of volume (default: 200).
Volume Multiplier Settings:
High and low volume thresholds are defined using multipliers. Users can adjust these to customize how volume is categorized (default multipliers: 1.5 for high volume, 0.5 for low volume).
Percentile-Based Extreme Volume Detection:
The script calculates a percentile threshold for extreme volume (default: 90th percentile) based on the volume data, highlighting exceptionally high volume spikes.
Moving Average Selection:
Users can choose between Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), or Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA) to track volume trends over the selected lookback period.
Volume-Based Price Bar Coloring:
Price bars can be colored according to the volume conditions (high, low, or extreme). This feature can be toggled on or off.
Dynamic Transparency and Color Customization:
The script allows users to set custom colors for different volume conditions (high, low, neutral, extreme) and adjusts the transparency of volume bars based on the relative size of the volume.
Alerts:
Alerts can be set for when extreme volume spikes or low volume conditions are detected.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Script Components:
Volume Histogram Plot:
Displays the volume bars with dynamic coloring based on the volume condition (high, low, or extreme). The color of the bars adjusts for clarity, with transparency based on volume levels.
Moving Average Plot:
Plots the selected volume moving average (SMA, EMA, or VWMA) to visualize the trend of volume over the chosen lookback period.
Smoothed Average Volume (EMA of Volume):
A smoothed EMA line is plotted to provide a clear representation of volume trends over time.
Price Bar Coloring:
If enabled, price bars are colored according to the current volume condition, providing immediate visual feedback to the trader.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How It Can Be Used:
Volume Analysis for Entry/Exit Points: Traders can use the volume conditions (high, low, and extreme) to identify potential entry or exit points. High-volume bars often signal strong market activity, while low-volume bars may indicate consolidation or indecision.
Volume Confirmation for Trend Reversal: Extreme volume spikes can sometimes precede significant price movements. Traders can monitor these spikes for potential trend reversal signals.
Customizing Alerts: Alerts based on volume conditions help traders stay updated on important volume events without constantly monitoring the chart.
Color-Coded Price Action: The dynamic coloring of price bars makes it easier to identify periods of strong or weak market participation, allowing traders to make informed decisions quickly.

Dix$on's Weighted Volume FlowDixson's Weighted Volume Flow
Dixson's Weighted Volume Flow is a technical indicator designed to analyze and visualize the distribution of buy and sell volume within a given timeframe. It dynamically calculates the proportional allocation of volume based on price action within each bar, providing insights into market sentiment and activity. This indicator displays horizontal volume bars in a separate pane and annotates them with precise volume values.
How It Works
1. Volume Allocation:
- The indicator calculates buy and sell volume using the following formulas:
- Buy Volume = (Close - Low) / (High - Low) Total Volume
- Sell Volume = (High - Close) / (High - Low) Total Volume
- These formulas allocate volume proportionally based on the bar's price range, attributing more volume to buying or selling depending on the relationship between the close, high, and low prices.
2. Dynamic Scaling:
- The buy and sell volumes are scaled relative to their combined total for the period.
- The resulting values determine the length of the horizontal bars, providing a comparative view of buy and sell activity.
3. Bar Visualization:
- Buy Volume Bars: Displayed as green horizontal bars.
- Sell Volume Bars: Displayed as red horizontal bars.
- The lengths of the bars represent the dominance of buy or sell volume, scaled dynamically within the pane.
4. Labels:
- Each bar is annotated with a label showing its calculated buy or sell volume value.
5. Timeframe Adjustment:
- The indicator uses the request.security() function to fetch data from the selected timeframe, allowing users to customize their analysis for intraday, daily, or longer-term trends.
6. Customization Options:
- Enable or disable the indicator using a toggle.
- Adjust colors for the buy/sell bars and text labels to suit your chart theme.
How to Use It
1. Enable the Indicator:
- Activate the indicator using the "Enable/Disable" toggle in the settings.
2. Select a Timeframe:
- Choose the timeframe for analysis (e.g., 1-minute, 1-hour, daily). The indicator fetches volume data specific to the selected timeframe.
3. Interpret the Visualization:
- Compare Bar Lengths:
- Longer buy volume bars (green) indicate stronger buying activity.
- Longer sell volume bars (red) suggest dominant selling pressure.
- Labels:
- Use the labels to view the exact buy and sell volume values for precise analysis.
4. Combine with Other Tools:
- Use the indicator alongside price action analysis, support/resistance levels, or trend indicators to confirm market sentiment and detect potential reversals.
5. Monitor Imbalances:
- Significant disparities between buy and sell volume can signal shifts in market sentiment, such as the end of a trend or the start of a breakout.
Practical Applications
- Trend Confirmation:
- Align the dominance of buy or sell volume with price trends to confirm market direction.
- Reversal Signals:
- Watch for volume imbalances or a sudden shift in the dominance of buy or sell volume to identify potential reversals.
- High-Activity Zones:
- Identify areas with increased volume to anticipate significant price movements or key support/resistance interactions.
Dixson's Weighted Volume Flow provides a clear and systematic way to analyze market activity by visualizing the dynamics of buy and sell volume. It is particularly useful for traders looking to enhance their understanding of volume-based sentiment and its impact on price movements.
Bullish/Bearish Volume Indicator ABDJO1- red bars are bearish volume
2- yellow bars are a weakness of bearish volume.
3-green bars are a strong bullish volume.
4-Orange bars are a weakness of bullish volume.
1. Price Movements
The chart does not explicitly show price movements, but the volume bars can give us indirect clues. Typically, a transition from green (strong bullish volume) to red (bearish volume) suggests a potential reversal from an uptrend to a downtrend. The presence of orange bars (weakness of bullish volume) following green bars indicates a decrease in buying momentum, which often precedes a price decline.
2. Trading Volume
Green Bars: Represent strong bullish volume, indicating strong buying interest.
Orange Bars: Indicate a weakening of bullish volume, suggesting that buyers are losing strength or interest at higher price levels.
Yellow Bars: Represent a weakening of bearish volume, which could indicate that selling pressure is decreasing and a potential reversal or stabilization in price might occur.
Red Bars: Signify strong bearish volume, indicating strong selling pressure.
3. Price-Volume Relationship
The transition from green to orange and then to red bars shows a typical pattern where initial strong buying interest (green) is followed by a decrease in buyer enthusiasm (orange), and eventually overtaken by sellers (red). This pattern often corresponds to a peak in prices followed by a reversal to the downside.
4. Technical Indicators
Without specific price data, traditional indicators like MA (Moving Averages), MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), or KDJ (Stochastic Oscillator) cannot be calculated directly. However, the volume pattern itself can be used as a rudimentary momentum indicator, with decreasing bullish volume (orange) and increasing bearish volume (red) suggesting a bearish momentum.
5. Support and Resistance Levels
Support Level: Could be hypothesized near the transition point from yellow to green bars, where buyers previously started to overpower sellers.
Resistance Level: Likely near the transition from green to orange bars, where sellers begin to regain control and buying momentum fades.
6. Overall Trend Patterns
The overall trend, inferred from the volume bars, suggests a bullish phase losing momentum and transitioning into a bearish phase. This is typical of a market top where buying interest wanes and sellers begin to dominate.
7. Future Projections and Recommendations
Given the observed shift from bullish to bearish volume, there is a higher likelihood of a downward price movement in the near term. Investors should consider this a potential sell signal, especially as bearish volume (red bars) increases. Caution is advised for buyers, and it might be prudent for holders to take profits or set stop-loss orders to protect against potential declines.

Periodic Activity Tracker [LuxAlgo]The Periodic Activity Tracker tool periodically tracks the cumulative buy and sell volume in a user-defined period and draws the corresponding matching bars and volume delta for each period.
Users can select a predefined aggregation period from the following options: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
🔶 USAGE
This tool provides a simple and clear way of analyzing volumes for each aggregated period and is made up of the following elements:
Buy and sell volumes by period as red and green lines with color gradient area
Delta (difference) between buy & sell volume for each period
Buy & sell volume bars for each period
Separator between lines and bars, and period tags below each pair of bars for ease of reading
On the chart above we can see all the elements displayed, the volume level on the lines perfectly matches the volume level on the bars for each period.
In this case, the tool has the default settings so the anchor period is set to Daily and we can see how the period tag (each day of the week) is displayed below each pair of bars.
Users can disable the delta display and adjust the bar size.
🔹 Reading The Tool
In trading, assessing the strength of the bulls (buyers) and bears (sellers) is key to understanding the current trading environment. Which side, if any, has the upper hand? To answer this question, some traders look at volume in relation to price.
This tool provides you with a view of buy volume versus sell volume, allowing you to compare both sides of the market.
As with any volume tool, the key is to understand when the forces of the two groups are balanced or unbalanced.
As we can observe on the chart:
NOV '23: Buy volume greater than sell volume, both moving up close together, flat delta. We can see that the price is in range.
DEC '23: Buy volume bigger than Sell volume, both moving up but with a bigger difference, bigger delta than last month but still flat. We can see the price in the range above last month's range.
JAN '24: Buy and sell volume tied together, no delta whatsoever. We can see the price in range but testing above and below last month's range.
FEB '24: Buy volume explodes higher and sell volume cannot keep up, big growing delta. Price explodes higher above last month's range.
Traders need to understand that there is always an equal number of buyers and sellers in a liquid market, the quality here is how aggressive or passive they are. Who is 'attacking' and who is 'defending', who is using market orders to move prices, and who is using limit orders waiting to be filled?
This tool gives you the following information:
Lines: if the top line is green, the buyers are attacking, if it is red, the sellers are attacking.
Delta: represents the difference in their strength, if it is above 0 the buyers are stronger, if it is below 0 the sellers are stronger.
Bars: help you to see the difference in strength between buyers and sellers for each period at a glance.
🔹 Anchor Period
By default, the tool is set to Hourly. However, users can select from a number of predefined time periods.
Depending on the user's selection, the bars are displayed as follows:
Hourly : hours of the current day
Daily : days of the current week
Weekly : weeks of the current month
Monthly : months of the current year
On the chart above we can see the four periods displayed, starting at the top left and moving clockwise we have hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Chart TimeFrame
The chart timeframe has a direct impact on the visualization of the tool, and the user should select a chart timeframe that is compatible with the Anchor period in the tool's settings panel.
For the chart timeframe to be compatible it must be less than the Anchor period parameter. If the user selects an incompatible chart timeframe, a warning message will be displayed.
As a rule of thumb, the smaller the chart timeframe, the more data the tool will collect, returning indications for longer-term price variations.
These are the recommended chart timeframes for each period:
Hourly : 5m charts or lower
Daily : 1H charts or lower
Weekly : 4H charts or lower
Monthly : 1D charts or lower
🔹 Warnings
This chart shows both types of warnings the user may receive
At the top, we can see the warning that is given when the 'Bar Width' parameter exceeds the allowed value.
At the bottom is the incompatible chart timeframe warning, which prompts the user to select a smaller chart timeframe or a larger "Anchor Period" parameter.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Data Gathering
Anchor period: Time period representing each bar: hours of the day, days of the week, weeks of the month, and months of the year. The timeframe of the chart must be less than this parameter, otherwise a warning will be displayed.
🔹 Style
Bars width: Size of each bar, there is a maximum limit so a warning will be displayed if it is reached.

Neglected Volume by DGTVolume is one piece of information that is often neglected, however, learning to interpret volume brings many advantages and could be of tremendous help when it comes to analyzing the markets. In addition to technicians, fundamental investors also take notice of the numbers of shares traded for a given security.
What is Volume?
The volume represents all the recorded trades for a security that occurs in a given time interval. It is a measurement of the participation, enthusiasm, and interest in a given security. Think of volume as the force that drives the market. Volume substantiates, energizes, and empowers price. When volume increases, it confirms price direction; when volume decreases, it contradicts price direction.
In theory, increases in volume generally precede significant price movements. However, If the price is rising in an uptrend but the volume is reducing or unchanged, it may show that there’s little interest in the security, and the price may reverse.
A high volume usually indicates more interest in the security and the presence of institutional traders. However, a rapidly rising price in an uptrend accompanied by a huge volume may be a sign of exhaustion.
Traders usually look for breaks of support and resistance to enter positions. When security break critical levels without volume, you should consider the breakout suspect and prime for a reversal off the highs/lows
Volume spikes are often the result of news-driven events. Volume spike will often lead to sharp reversals since the moves are unsustainable due to the imbalance of supply and demand
note : there’s no centralized exchange where trades are recorded, so the volume data represents what happens at a particular exchange only
In most charting platforms, the volume indicator is presented as color-coded bars, green if the security closes up and red if the security closed lower, where the height of the bars show the amount of the recorded trades
Within this study, Relative Volume , Volume Weighted Bars and Volume Moving Average are presented, where Relative Volume relates current trading volume to past trading volume over long period, Volume Weighted Bars presents price bars colored based on short period past trading volume average, and Volume Moving Average is average of volume over shot period
Relative Volume is presented as color-coded bars similar to regular Volume indicator but uses four color codes instead two. Notable increases of volume are presented in green and red while average values with back and gray, hence adding ability to emphasis notable increases in the volume. It is kind of a like a radar for how "in-play" a security is. Users are allowed to change the threshold, default value is set to Fibonacci golden ration standard deviation away from its moving average.
Volume Weighted Bars, a study of Kıvanç Özbilgiç, aims to present if price movements are supported by Volume. Volume Weighted Bars are calculated based on shot period volume moving average which will reflect more recent changes in volume. Price actions with high volume will be displayed with darker colors, average volume values will remain as they are and low volume values will be indicated with lighter colors.
Volume Moving Average, Is short period volume moving average, aims to display visually the volume changes. Please not that Relative Volume bars are calculated based on standard deviation of long volume moving average.
What Else?
Apart from the volume itself, your ability to assess what volume is telling you in conjunction with price action can be a key factor in your ability to turn a profit in the market. It makes little sense to analyze the volume alone. To correctly interpret the volume data, it shall be seen in the light of what the price is doing. there are a lot of other indicators that are based on the volume data as well as price action. Analysing those volume indicators has always helped traders and investors to better understand what is happening in the market.
Here are the ones adapted with this study. Some of them used as a source for our aim, some adapted as they are with slight changes to fit visually to this study and please note that the numerical presentation may differ from their regular use
• On Balance Volume
• Divergence Indicator
• Correlation Coefficient
• Chaikin Money Flow
Shortly;
On Balance Volume
The On Balance Volume indicator, is a technical analysis indicator that relates volume flow to changes in a security’s price. It uses a cumulative total of positive and negative trading volume to predict the direction of price. The OBV is a volume-based momentum oscillator, so it is a leading indicator — it changes direction before the price
Granville, creator of OBV, proposed the theory that changes in volume precede price movements in a measurable way. He believed that volume was the main force behind major market moves and thought of OBV’s prediction of price changes as a compressed spring that expands rapidly when released.
It is believed that the OBV shows the interactions between the institutional and retail traders in the market
If the price makes a new high, the OBV should also make a new high. If the OBV makes a lower high when the price makes a higher high, there’s a classical bearish divergence — indicating that only the retail traders are buying. Another type of bearish divergence occurs when the price remains relatively quiet and fails to make a higher high but the OBV soars higher than the previous high — indicating that the institutional traders are accumulating short positions. On the other hand, if the price makes a lower low and the OBV makes a higher low, there is a classical bullish divergence, showing that the institutional traders don’t believe in that move
With this study, Momentum and Acceleration (optional) of OBV is calculated and presented, where momentum is most commonly referred to as a rate and measures the acceleration of the price and/or volume of a security. It is also referred to as a technical analysis indicator and oscillator that is able to determine market trends.
Additionally, smoothing functionality with Least Squares Method is added
Divergences especially, should always be noted as a possible reversal in the current trend, so the divergence indicator is adapted with this study where the Momentum of OBV is assumed as Oscillator with similar usages as to RSI. Divergence is most often used to track and analyze the momentum in an asset’s price and the odds of a price reversal within the current trend. The divergence indicator warns traders and technical analysts of changes in a price/volume trend, oftentimes that it is weakening or changing direction.
Correlation Coefficient
The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure of the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables. A correlation of -1.0 shows a perfect negative correlation, while a correlation of 1.0 shows a perfect positive correlation. A correlation of 0.0 shows no linear relationship between the movement of the two variables. In other words, the closer the Correlation Coefficient is to 1.0, indicates the instruments will move up and down together as it is mostly expected with volume and price. So the Correlation Coefficient Indicator aims to display when the price and volume (on balance volume) is in correlation and when not. With this study blue represent positive correlation while orange negative correlation. The strength of the correlation is determined by the width of the bands, to emphasis the effect horizontal lines are drawn with values set to 0.5 and -0.5. the values above 0.5 (or below -0.5) shows stronger correlation.
Chaikin Money Flow , provide optionally as a companion indicator
The Chaikin money flow indicator (CMF) is a volume indicator that measures the money flow volume over a chosen period. The money flow volume is a measure of the volume and where the price closed relative to the trading session’s range. It comes from the idea that buying pressure is indicated by a rising volume and recurrent closes in the upper part of the session’s price range while selling pressure is demonstrated by an increasing volume and repeated closes in the lower part of the price range.
Both buying and selling pressures are accompanied by an increase in volume, but the location of the closing prices are in accordance with the direction of price

Ultimate VolumeThis script can display a lot of different volume statistics. It also colours bars depending on a chosen, customisable criterion. Most options are disabled by default and can be reenabled in the settings menu.
FAQ
Why are the bars slightly higher than the default volume bars?
Due to the limitations of Pinescript.
What are the two last values (including the one in white?)
They're there due to the limitations of Pinescript. It used to be possible to prevent certain values from being plotted, but still display them as indicator values, but the functionality of that option was changed and is now WIP so until it's restored, these values are necessary to scale the bars properly.
Why are the percentages formatted as volume?
Due to the limitations of Pinescript.
Why are there so many options?
I don't know. They sort of happened. But you don't have to switch them on.
What is money volume?
It's an average of the bar price multiplied by the bar volume .
Why does the daily average volume display different values than the standard sma volume?
Because mine doesn't take into account the current day. So it doesn't fluctuate intraday. Which, I think, makes more sense.
What is total volume?
It's a sum of the total volume for that day and is reset on the next. This option only works with intraday timeframes.
What is average 1 bar intraday volume?
It's the average volume for 1 intraday bar, based on the current day's values only. Obviously, it only works intraday and changes dynamically. It's not an SMA , it's a simple average of all bars for a given day.
What is all-time 1 bar intraday volume?
It's the average volume for 1 intraday bar, but based on the whole chart's history. It's impossible to select a length for this, again, because of certain limitations.
What is short volume?
It is approximately 1/3rd of the actual short volume , due to the limitations of FINRA. It's multiplied by 3 in the script and it may be not entirely accurate. The short volume % is calculated differently, using the 1/3rd of short and total volume from FINRA.
What are the default threshold values?
They are 150%, 200%, 1000% of the average for the average bar volume and all-time average bar volume options, 10%, 50%, 100% for the average daily volume option and 100K, 500K and 1M for the volume option.
RedK_Supply/Demand Volume Viewer v1Background
============
VolumeViewer is a volume indicator, that offers a simple way to estimate the movement and balance (or lack of) of supply & demand volume based on the shape of the price bar. i put this together few years ago and i have a version of this published for another platform under different names (Directional Volume, BetterVolume) in case you come across them
what is V.Viewer
=====================
The idea here is to find a "simple proxy" for estimating the demand or supply portions of a volume bar - these 2 forces have the potential to affect the current price trend so we want an easy way to track them - or to understand if a stock is in accumulation or distribution - we want to do this without having access to Level II or bid/ask data, and without having to get into the complexity of exploring the lower timeframe price & volume data
- to achieve that, we depend on a simple assumption, that the volume associated with an up move is "demand" and the volume associated with a down move is "Supply". so we basically extrapolate these supply and demand values based on how the bar looks like - a full "green" price bar / candle will be considered 100% demand, and a full "red" price bar will be considered 100% supply - a bar that opens and closes at the same level will be 50/50 split between supply & demand.
- you may say this is a "too simple" of an assumption to make, but believe me, it works :) at least at the basic scenario we need here: i'm just exploring the volume movement and finding key levels - and it provides a good improvement compared to the classic way we see volume on a chart - which is still available here in VolumeViewer.
in all cases, i consider this to be work in progress, so i'd welcome any ideas to improve (without getting too complicated) - there's already a host of great volume-based indicators that will do the multi timeframe drill down, but that's not my scope here.
Technical Jargon & calculation
===========================
1. first we calculate a score % for the volume portion that is considered demand based on the bar shape
skip this part if it sounds too technical => if you're into coding indicators, you would probably know there are couple of different concepts for that algorithm - for example, the one used in Balance Of Power formula - which i'm a big fan of - but the one i use here is different. (how?) this is my own, ant it simply applies double weight for the "wick" parts of a price bar compared to the "body of the bar" -- i did some side-by-side comparison in past and decided this one works better. you can change it in the code if you like
2. after calculating the Bull vs Bears portion of volume, we take a moving average of both for the length you set, to come up with what we consider to be the Demand vs Supply - as usual, i use a weighted moving average (WMA) here.
3. the balance or net volume between these 2 lines is calculated, then we apply a final smoothing and that's the main plot we will get
4. being a very visual person, i did my best to build up the visuals in the correct order - then also to ensure the "study title" bar is properly organized and is simple and useful (Full Volume, Supply, Demand, Net Volume).
- i wish there was a way in Pine to hide a value that i still need to visually plot but don't want it showing its value on the study title bar, but couldn't find it. so the last plot value is repeated twice.
How to use
===========
- V.Viewer is set up to show the simplified view by default for simplicity. so when you first add it to a chart, you will get only the supply vs demand view you can see in the middle pane in the above chart
- Optional / detailed mode: go into the settings, and expose all other plots, you will be able to add the classic volume histogram, and the Supply / Demand lines - note these 2 lines will be overlay-ed on top of each other - this provides an easy way to see who is in control - especially if you change the display of these 2 lines into "area" style. This is what is showing in the lower pane in the above chart.
** Exploring Key Price Levels
- the premise is, at spots where there's big lack of balance, that's where to expect to find key price levels (support / resistance) and these price levels will come into play in future so can be used to set entry / exit targets for our trades - see the example in the AAPL chart where you can easily locate these "balance or reversal levels" using the tops/bottoms/zero-crossings from the Net Volume line
** Use for longer-term Price Analysis
- we can also use this simple indicator to gain more insights (at a high level) of the price in terms of accumulation vs distribution and if the sellers or buyers are in control - for example, in the above AAPL chart, V.Viewer tells us that buyers have been in control since October 19 - even during the recent drop, demand continued to be in play - compare that to DIS chart below for the same period, where it shows that the market was dumping DIS thru the weakness. DIS was bleeding red most of the time
Final thoughts
=============
- V.Viewer is an attempt to enhance the way we see and use Volume by leveraging the shape of the price bar to estimate volume supply & demand - and the Net between the 2
- it will work for stocks and other instruments as long as there's volume data
- note that V.Viewer does not track trend. each bar is taken in isolation of prior bars - the price may be going down and V.Viewer is showing supply going up (absorption scenario?) - so i suggest you do not use it to make decisions without consulting other trend / momentum indicators - of course this is a possible improvement idea, or can be implemented in another indicator, add in trend somehow, or maybe think of making this a +100 / -100 Oscillator .. feel free to play with these thoughts
- all thoughts welcome - if this is useful to you in your trading, please share with other trades here to learn from each other
- the code is commented - please feel free to use it as you like, or build things on top of it - but please continue to credit the author of this code :)
good luck!

Volume Density AnalysisVolume Density Analysis
Overview
The "Volume Density Analysis" indicator is designed to provide traders with insights into volume dynamics relative to price movements. By analyzing the density of volume against price spread, this indicator helps identify potential reversal points and extreme volume conditions, enhancing decision-making in trading strategies.
Key Features
Volume Density Calculation: The indicator computes the density of volume by dividing the total volume by the price spread (high - low) for each bar. This allows for a more nuanced understanding of volume activity in relation to price movements.
Extremum Detection: Users can specify the number of bars to consider when identifying extreme volume conditions, allowing for tailored analysis based on market behavior.
Reversal Bar Conditions: The indicator includes options to determine if low or high volume bars must coincide with reversal patterns, providing additional context for potential trade signals.
Dynamic Coloring*: The histogram displays colored bars based on specific conditions:
Blue Bars: Indicate the lowest and highest volume density within a specified range, highlighting significant volume extremes.
Gray Bars: Represent lower or higher volume density that meets reversal criteria.
Green and Red Bars: Indicate bullish or bearish reversal signals based on historical density patterns.
User Inputs
nl: Number of previous lower bars to consider for comparison (default is 8).
nh: Number of previous higher bars to consider for comparison (default is 8).
ext: Number of bars for detecting extremum volume (default is 30).
LReversalBar: Boolean option to determine if low volume bar spread must indicate a reversal.
HReversalBar: Boolean option to determine if high volume bar spread must indicate a reversal.
Suggested Timeframes
M15: Without reversal considerations, use `nl=3`, `nh=3`, and `ext=20`.
M5: Without reversal considerations, use `nl=4`, `nh=4`, and `ext=35`.
M1: Use `nl=8`, `nh=8`, and `ext=58` for more detailed analysis.
