Volume Candlesticks [cajole]
This script lets you create the equivalent of "volume candlesticks" in TradingView.
"Volume candlesticks" normally vary their width according to the bar's volume. This script varies COLOUR instead of WIDTH.
Bar charts are also supported.
Candles/Bars are coloured by their distance from the average volume. You can also add a "huge volume" colour to further highlight the most extremely-high volume bars.
Note that volume is extrapolated for incomplete bars by default. So, if the average volume of the past 10 days is 5M shares, and 5M shares trade in the first 10% of today's session, that bar will be coloured as though 50M shares have traded. Set the "Extrapolate" option to 1.0 to disable this.
For this script to work properly, you should set TradingView's default candle/bar colours to be at least 20% transparent. By default, TradingView tends to overlay its own bars on top of indicators.
Nerdy details:
The script works best on a dark background, because it is easier to change the hue of white bars than of black bars. If you find a set of colours that work for white backgrounds, please comment with them!
The geometric mean is used instead of the arithmetic mean, to keep the 'average' from being strongly influenced by spikes. Bars are
then coloured by assuming a normal probability distribution and highlighting outliers. (This means that the first high-volume bars are coloured differently to later ones.)

## What are vector candles?
Vector Candles (inspired to add from TradersReality/MT4) are candles that are colour coded to indicate higher volumes, and likely flip points / direction changes, or confirmations.
These are based off of PVSRA (Price, Volume, Support, Resistance Analysis).
You can also override the currency that this runs off of, including multiple ones - however adding more may slow things down.
PVSRA - From MT4 source:
Situation "Climax"
Bars with volume >= 200% of the average volume of the 10 previous chart TFs, and bars
where the product of candle spread x candle volume is >= the highest for the 10 previous
chart time TFs.
Default Colours: Bull bars are green and bear bars are red.
Situation "Volume Rising Above Average"
Bars with volume >= 150% of the average volume of the 10 previous chart TFs.
Default Colours: Bull bars are blue and bear are blue-violet.
A blue or purple bar can mean the chart has reached a top or bottom.
High volume bars during a movement can indicate a big movement is coming - or a top/bottom if bulls/bears are unable to break that point - or the volume direction has flipped.
This can also just be a healthy short term movement in the opposite direction - but at times sets obvious trend shifts.
## Volume Tracking
You can shift-click any candle to get the volume of that candle (in the pair token/stock), if you click and drag - you will see the volume for that range.
## Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands can be enabled in the settings via the toggle.
Bollinger Bands are designed to discover opportunities that give investors a higher probability of properly identifying when an asset is oversold (bottom lines) or overbought (top lines).
>There are three lines that compose Bollinger Bands: A simple moving average (middle band) and an upper and lower band.
>The upper and lower bands are typically 2 standard deviations +/- from a 20-day simple moving average, but they can be modified.

Base Indicator
## What is ATR?
The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator, which measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following:
- current high - the current low;
- the absolute value of the current high - the previous close;
- and the absolute value of the current low - the previous close.
The ATR is then a moving average, generally using 10/14 days, of the true ranges.
## What does this indicator do?
Uses the ATR and multipliers to help you predict price volatility, ranges and trend direction.
> The buy and sell signals are generated when the indicator starts
plotting either on top of the closing price or below the closing price. A buy signal is generated when the ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price and a sell signal is generated when it closes below the closing price.
> It also suggests that the trend is shifting from descending mode to ascending mode. Contrary to this, when a ‘Supertrend’ closes above the price, it generates a sell signal as the colour of the indicator changes into red.
> A ‘Supertrend’ indicator can be used on equities, futures or forex, or even crypto markets and also on daily, weekly and hourly charts as well, but generally, it will be less effective in a sideways-moving market.

## Usage Notes
Two indicators will appear, the default ATR multipliers are already set for what I believe to be perfect for this particular (double indicator) strategy.
If you want to break it yourself (I couldn't find anything that tested more accurately myself), you can do so in the settings once you have added the indicator.
Basic rundown:
- A single Buy/Sell indicator in the dim colour; may be setting a direction change, or just healthy movement.
- When the brighter Buy/Sell indicator appears; it often means that a change in direction (uptrend or downtrend) is confirmed.
---
You can see here, there was a (brighter) green indicator which flipped down then up into a (brighter) red sell indicator which set the downtrend. At the end it looks like it may be starting to break the downtrend - as the price is hitting the trend line. (Would watch for whether it holds above or drops below at that point)
Another example, showing how sometimes it can still be correct but take some time to play out - with some arrow indicators.
Typically I would also look at oscillators, RSI and other things to confirm - but here it held above the trend lines nicely, so it appeared to be rather obvious.
It's worth paying attention to the trend lines and where the candles are sitting.
Once you understand/get a feel for the basics of how it works - it can become a very useful tool in your trading arsenal.
Also works for traditional markets & commodities etc in the same way / using the same ATR multipliers, however of course crypto generally has bigger moves.
---
You can use this and other indicators to confirm likeliness of a direction change prior to the brighter/confirmation one appearing - but just going by the 2nd(brighter) indicators, I have found it to be surprisingly accurate.
Tends to work well on virtually all timeframes, but personally prefer to use it on 5min,15min,1hr, 4hr, daily, weekly. Will still work for shorter/other timeframes, but may be more accurate on mid ones.
---
This will likely be updated as I go / find useful additions that don't convolute things. The base indicator may be updated with some limited / toggle-able features in future also.
Relative Volume at TimeThe Relative Volume at Time indicator (RVOL) is a simple modification of the original Relative Volume at Time script available in TradingView’s public library. It doesn’t change how the indicator works but includes two small adjustments:
Added Color Options – The ability to customize the colors of the volume bars, which was important to me as I use this indicator all the time and wanted more visually suitable colors.
Renamed Short Title – The abbreviation "RVOL" replaces "RelVol", as it's a more commonly used term in trading.
Aside from these small tweaks, the indicator retains all of its original functionality, including the ability to set an anchor timeframe, choose between Regular and Cumulative volume calculation modes, and adjust unconfirmed volume for incomplete bars.
This version exists simply because I needed a more personalized display for an indicator that I rely on daily.
How It Works
The Relative Volume at Time indicator compares the current volume to the average volume at the same time in previous sessions. This helps determine if today’s activity is higher or lower than usual.
Examples
On a daily chart (1D timeframe, length = 10), each volume bar compares today's volume to the average volume at the same time over the last 10 days. If today’s volume is higher than usual at this moment, the bar will reflect that.
On an hourly chart (1H timeframe, length = 5), each hourly volume bar compares the current hour’s volume to the same hour in the past 5 days. If the 10 AM bar is high, it means today's 10 AM volume is greater than the average of the past 5 sessions at 10 AM.
On a weekly chart (1W timeframe, length = 8), the indicator compares this week’s volume to the average of the last 8 weeks. A higher bar means this week is seeing significantly more volume than usual.
This logic applies to any timeframe. It always compares the current volume to past volumes at the same point in time.

Volume Surge Momentum Detector – Capture Key Inflection Points Using Volume Dynamics
Description:
This indicator helps traders identify highprobability entries by focusing on volume dynamics. Significant price movements often occur when interest in a stock rises, and this is reflected in volume spikes. The Volume Analysis Indicator is designed to detect key inflection points such as breakouts and capitulations by analyzing the relationship between volume and price. It enables traders to avoid false breakouts, identify trend exhaustion, and make informed trading decisions.
Key Features:
VolumeBased Inflection Points: The indicator tracks the volume levels to detect when there is significant interest in a stock. High volume signals increased market participation, often preceding large price moves.
Breakout Detection: It identifies breakouts by detecting price moves beyond a key level (the highest price over a certain period) along with a volume spike, indicating strong momentum.
Capitulation Detection: Capitulation is detected when a strong trend weakens and reverses with increased volume, signaling potential trend exhaustion.
Volume Thresholds: By using statistical measures, the indicator identifies unusually high or low volume based on the average volume and standard deviations, helping traders to spot major turning points in the market.
This tool simplifies volume bar analysis by automatically highlighting significant volume events, which often indicate large upcoming price movements.
Detailed Breakdown:
1. Volume as a Catalyst for Price Movements:
Volume is essential for price action. Without sufficient volume, price moves may not be sustained. This indicator highlights moments of increased market interest by tracking significant volume increases, helping traders stay ahead of major price movements.
2. Breakouts and Capitulation Detection:
Breakout: Detected when the volume exceeds an upper threshold (based on two standard deviations above the average volume) and the price breaks above the highest close of the previous period. These moments are marked with green labels on the chart.
Capitulation: Detected when volume increases significantly but the trend cannot sustain itself, and the price reverses below the lowest close of the previous period. These moments are marked with red labels on the chart, indicating potential trend exhaustion.
3. Sentiment and Market Dynamics:
Market sentiment can lead to price inflections when one side of the market becomes overbought or exhausted. Volume spikes in either direction provide clues as to whether a trend will continue or reverse. This indicator helps identify these critical points by monitoring volume patterns.
4. Visual Representation:
Green Bars: High volume indicating strong market interest or momentum.
Red Bars: Low volume, signaling potential lack of interest or exhaustion.
Gray Bars: Normal volume, helping to distinguish significant market events from regular activity.
Breakout and Capitulation Labels: Green labels for breakouts and red labels for capitulation points are shown directly on the chart for easy reference.
5. Alerts for Key Signals:
Breakout Alert: Notifies traders when a breakout occurs with strong volume, indicating a potential for significant price movement.
Capitulation Alert: Alerts traders when a capitulation occurs, suggesting a trend reversal.
High and Low Volume Alerts: Receive notifications when the volume exceeds the upper or lower thresholds, highlighting key moments of market interest or disinterest.
Why This Indicator Matters:
Traders often miss significant price moves or enter too late. This indicator helps traders by identifying highprobability entry points before the stock makes major moves. By focusing on volume spikes, the indicator provides insight into market sentiment and allows traders to act quickly.
How It Works:
1. Calculate Volume Significance: The indicator calculates the average volume over a userdefined period (`length`) and identifies significant deviations using standard deviations.
2. Mark Key Levels: Breakouts are detected when price moves above recent highs with significant volume, while capitulation is flagged when trends show exhaustion with a volume spike and price reversal.
3. Receive Alerts: Traders can set up alerts for key events like breakouts, capitulations, and significant volume changes to stay informed in realtime.
Perfect For:
Active traders looking to spot early market movements driven by volume changes.
Traders who want to avoid false breakouts by confirming price moves with volume spikes.
Swing traders identifying capitulation points to reduce exposure or enter positions on trend reversals.
How to Use:
Customize the "Average Period" to determine how many bars are used to calculate the average volume.
Adjust the "Multiplier for Standard Deviation" to finetune the sensitivity of high and low volume detection.
Enable alerts to receive realtime notifications for breakouts, capitulations, or volume spikes.
Conclusion:
Volume analysis is essential to understanding stock movements. This indicator simplifies the process of identifying breakouts and capitulation points by using volume dynamics. Whether you are a beginner looking for powerful tools or an experienced trader refining your strategy, this indicator offers valuable insights into market behavior driven by volume.
Additional Insights:
1. Statistical Significance: The use of standard deviations to identify high and low volume gives the indicator a statistical basis, helping to reduce noise and false signals.
2. Flexible Alerts: Traders can set up custom alerts based on their trading preferences, whether they focus on volume changes or price breakouts and reversals.

Volume Average % Cross - ChartVolume Average Percentage Cross Indicator - Chart
This version is specialized for notifications on your chart. If you wish to see notifications on your volume bars please choose "Volume Average Percentage Cross Indicator - Default".
What is the Volume Average % Cross - Chart Indicator you might ask yourself - what is it for?
I will tell you!
Use Case:
In my Indicator you have an Input to set the period for the volume average period.
Once the volume average period is calculated it is now necessary to choose the percentage value.
What is the percentage value?
The percentage value multiplies the past volume bar with a positive percentage value and a negative percentage value. I give this calculation the name "VolPercentage".
If the volume average is below the negative VolPercentage Value it means that the last volume bar is stronger than the volume average period by the percentage you set the percentage value input at.
If the volume average is above the positive VolPercentage Value it means that the last volume bar is weaker than the volume average period by the percentage you set the percentage value input at.
That means that if for example the percentage value would be 20 it would require the volume average to be 20% above the past volume bar.
That means that if for example the percentage value would be 20 it would require the volume average to be 20% lower than the past volume bar.
Once I uploaded my 100 Indicators I will accurately describe each indicator with videos, this will be huge!
Interpretation:
Volume is the amount of market participants who bought in a candlestick bar a set amount of shares at varying prices from within the bar itself.
If volume decreases it means that there has been fewer market participants and if it increases it means that there is an increase of market participants.
If this is used with candlestick patterns it helps tremendously to identify strong or weak doji candlesticks.
Wyckoff Volume ColorThis volume indicator is intended to be used for the Wyckoff strategy.
Green volume bar indicates last price close above close 10 days ago together with volume larger than 2 * SMA(volume, 20)
Blue volume bar indicates last price close above close 10 days ago together with volume less than 2 * SMA(volume, 20)
Orange volume bar indicates last price close lower than close 10 days ago together with volume less than 2 * SMA(volume, 20)
Red volume bar indicates last price close lower than close 10 days ago together with volume larger than 2 * SMA(volume, 20)
The main purpose is to have green bars with a buying climax and red bars with a selling climax.
Three variables can be changed by simply pressing the settings button.
How many days back the closing price is compared to. Now 10 days.
How many times the SMA(volume) is multiplied by. Now times 2.
How many days the SMA(volume) consists by. Now 20 days.
Coloured Volume Grid 1.0Candles are coloured based on relative price and volume:
- If today’s closing price and volume are greater than (n) bars ago, color today’s volume bar green.
- If today’s closing price is greater than (n) bars ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar lime.
- Similarly, if today’s closing price and volume is less than (n) bars ago, color today’s volume bar orange.
- If today’s closing price is less than (n) bars ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar red.
The above logic in itself gives pretty remarkable considering how simple the idea is. I have added a multi-timeframe feature where the same logic is applied to 4 other timeframes. This way you can quickly be aware without having to check. There are four layers and the default settings show (from top to bottom) daily, 4h, 1h and 15m
All timeframes are adjustable in the settings.

sVPSA - standardized Volume Price Spread AnalysisDear Analysts and Traders,
I want to introduce my new indicator - sVPSA - standardized Volume Price Spread Analysis. For me, this script is helpfully in Technical Analysis mainly with Wyckoff and VSA methodologies. Maybe You are in circle of people who used my previous script - normalized Volume Price Spread Analysis. I work with him a lot of time, but I come to a conclusion that I can do better...
Theory concept...
What is a big volume? How big was this spread? It was extreme high or just high? How to do an answer for this and a lot other questions related to this subject? My thoughts was directed to statistics. In my first script I used to x/max normalized data. It was good, but susceptible for high deviation events. So, I choose standardization method with smaller sensitivity on violent events - z-Score standardization Description of z-Score formula:
Z = (x-mean)/standard deviation
Probability of event are descriptive by probability density function - The Normal Distribution.
en.wikipedia.org
en.Wikipedia.org
This is base of script methodology, let’s go deeper in indicator.
X axis is time, date. Y axis is standard deviation. Narrow bar represent price spread, wide one is volume. Colors are corresponding to deviation, blue < sigma, green > sigma, red > 2*sigma and fuchsia > 3*sigma. Appearance is full editable.
Data collection starts from left to right. There is two possibilities to use, constans number of bars or visible data range, also indicator permit to overscore linear regression from data. There is a possibility to set an alert.
Short introduction how put an interpretation on visualized data.
For this example I used constans value of data collection, 52 bars. So, from left I see great, fuchsia volume bar with low spread. This record respond Celsius withdrawals pause. This is bar with the biggest volume on presented chart, more than four sigmas. Spread value is near one sigma. I should consider this via one of Wyckoffs laws - effort vs result. I see a three bars in turn, they tenor tells me that bear market is possible near end. Accumulation structure near new year, spring test and bullish momentum bar near march are approval of this idea. Next high spread bars have volume near mean value. Effort is low but result is great. Interesting is last bar, with -2,8 deviation of volume. I see the lowest volume value on chart, so he’s deviation is strong to negative side. This script require a little of practise and can be a potent tool in Technical Analysis.
If You have a concept how to improve my script or You experience bug, please, send me feedback.
I hope that You consider my work as useful.
I wish You great trades and faultless analysis.

Multi-VolumeThis indicator displays volume in several formats:
Volume Bar Format:
Normal Volume: Shows the normal volume bar colors based on each candle's price direction
Up/Down Volume: Breaks down each volume bar into buying volume (volume added when price goes up) and selling volume (volume added when price goes down)
Volume Pressure: Breaks down each volume bar based on the length of the candle and its "pressure wick". See below for more information.
Flip Down Volume:
The down volume bar will be displayed below the center line.
Show Delta:
When selected with "Up/Down Volume" or "Volume Pressure", a small line will be displayed at the net volume (difference between up and down volume).
Projected Volume:
Instead of current volume, it will show expected volume at end of candle based on volume per second.
Volume Pressure:
On a green candle:
The red part represents the upper wick, the volume as the price comes back down from its high
The green part represents the rest of the candle, the volume as the price goes up from its low to the close
On a red candle:
The green part represents the lower wick, the volume as the price comes back up from its low
The red part represents the rest of the candle, the volume as the price goes down from its high to the close

To update to the latest version, just close the indicator and add it again.
Relative Volume (rVol), Better Volume, Average Volume ComparisonThis is the best version of relative volume you can find a claim which is based on the logical soundness of its calculation.
I have amalgamated various volume analysis into one synergistic script. I wasn't going to opensource it. But, as one of the lucky few winners of TradingClue 2. I felt obligated to give something back to the community.
Relative volume traditionally compares current volume to prior bar volume or SMA of volume. This has drawbacks. The question of relative volume is "Volume relative to what?" In the traditional scripts you'll find it displays current volume relative to the last number of bars. But, is that the best way to compare volume. On a daily chart, possibly. On a daily chart this can work because your units of time are uniform. Each day represents a full cycle of volume. However, on an intraday chart? Not so much.
Example: If you have a lookback of 9 on an hourly chart in a 24 hour market, you are then comparing the average volume from Midnight - 9 AM to the 9 AM volume. What do you think you'll find? Well at 9:30 when NY exchanges open the volume should be consistently and predictably higher. But though rVol is high relative to the lookback period, its actually just average or maybe even below average compared to prior NY session opens. But prior NY session opens are not included in the lookback and thus ignored.
This problem is the most visibly noticed when looking at the volume on a CME futures chart or some equivalent. In a 24 hour market, such as crypto, there are website's like skew can show you the volume disparity from time of day. This led me to believe that the traditional rVol calculation was insufficient. A better way to calculate it would be to compare the 9:30 am 30m bar today to the last week's worth of 9:30 am 30m bars. Then I could know whether today's volume at 9:30 am today is high or low based on prior 9:30 am bars. This seems to be a superior method on an intraday basis and is clearly superior in markets with irregular volume
This led me to other problems, such as markets that are open for less than 24 hours and holiday hours on traditional market exchanges. How can I know that the script is accurately looking at the correct prior relevant bars. I've created and/or adapted solutions to all those problems and these calculations and code snippets thus have value that extend beyond this rVol script for other pinecoders.
The Script
This rVol script looks back at the bars of the same time period on the viewing timeframe. So, as we said, the last 9:30 bars. Averages those, then divides the: . The result is a percentage expressed as x.xxx. Thus 1.0 mean current volume is equal to average volume. Below 1.0 is below the average and above 1.0 is above the average.
This information can be viewed on its own. But there are more levels of analysis added to it.
Above the bars are signals that correlate to the "Better Volume Indicator" developed by, I believe, the folks at emini-watch and originally adapted to pinescript by LazyBear. The interpretation of these symbols are in a table on the right of the indicator.
The volume bars can also be colored. The color is defined by the relationship between the average of the rVol outputs and the current volume. The "Average rVol" so to speak. The color coding is also defined by a legend in the table on the right.
These can be researched by you to determine how to best interpret these signals. I originally got these ideas and solid details on how to use the analysis from a fellow out there, PlanTheTrade.
I hope you find some value in the code and in the information that the indicator presents. And I'd like to thank the TradingView team for producing the most innovative and user friendly charting package on the market.
(p.s. Better Volume is provides better information with a longer lookback value than the default imo)
Credit for certain code sections and ideas is due to:
LazyBear - Better Volume
Grimmolf (From GitHub) - Logic for Loop rVol
R4Rocket - The idea for my rVol 1 calculation
And I can't find the guy who had the idea for the multiples of volume to the average. Tag him if you know him
Final Note: I'd like to leave a couple of clues of my own for fellow seekers of trading infamy.
Indicators: indicators are like anemometers (The things that measure windspeed). People talk bad about them all the time because they're "lagging." Well, you can't tell what the windspeed is unless the wind is blowing. anemometers are lagging indicators of wind. But forecasters still rely on them. You would use an indicator, which I would define as a instrument of measure, to tell you the windspeed of the markets. Conversely, when people talk positively about indicators they say "This one is great and this one is terrible." This is like a farmer saying "Shovels are great, but rakes are horrible." There are certain tools that have certain functions and every good tool has a purpose for a specific job. So the next time someone shares their opinion with you about indicators. Just smile and nod, realizing one day they'll learn... hopefully before they go broke.
How to forecast: Prediction is accomplished by analyzing the behavior of instruments of measure to aggregate data (using your anemometer). The data is then assembled into a predictive model based on the measurements observed (a trading system). That predictive model is tested against reality for it's veracity (backtesting). If the model is predictive, you can optimize your decision making by creating parameter sets around the prediction that are synergistic with the implications of the prediction (risk, stop loss, target, scaling, pyramiding etc).

Unusual Time Frame VolumeThis script plots the ratio of each volume bar to the average daily volume of that specific bar (at that specific time of day).
You can see what the volume at the 09:30 (or whenever) bar looks like compared to the average volume at the same time during the previous X number of days.
The output can be read like a normal volume chart; however, you can see at a glance whether these is more volume than "normal" for that time of day.
A value of "2" would be 2x the "normal" volume; a value of "0.5" would be half.
Thus, if bars exceed the value of "1", you know that there is more volume than normal.
If the bar exceeds an adjustable threshold, it will change the color of the bar to yellow; otherwise it will be orange for values exceeding "1".
As a consequence to this approach, the plot is effectively normalized such that it obviates the need to scale up or down as volume changes throughout the day.
Notes:
If the settings are not set appropriately for your mode and time frame, the output will be incorrect/invalid!
Make sure you set the "Asset Mode" and "Time Frame (minutes)" to values that match your asset and chart setting. For example, if you are trading Futures on a 2m chart, set the Asset Mode to Futures and Time Frame to 2m. If you are trading crypto on a 5m chart, set the Asset Mode to 24/7 and Time Frame to 5m.
If you choose a "Look-back (Days)" setting that is too far back given the time frame, the script will produce an error. I suggest playing with settings from 1 (compares volume to the previous day's volume) to the highest number that doesn't break the script. For example, at a 2m time frame, the maximum look-back will be 6-7 depending on which mode you are using. Longer time frames allow larger look-back values. I find that the default value (6 Days) does a decent job in general.
Welkin Advanced Volume Study (for VSA)This is a translation of Welkin's Advanced Volume Study Indicator originally written for ThinkOrSwim. This version is simpler than Welkin's and attempts to streamline that basic functionality for beginners to Volume Spread Analysis.
This can be used to replace the built-in volume bar with a more advanced version that is designed to facilitate Volume Spread Analysis. The basic idea is to clearly call out areas of high and low volume that help a trader determine where to "Smart Money" may be attempting to move the market. Volume is an incredible powerful tool for the retail trader; learn how to use it.
Grey bar are Below Average volume .
Blue bars are Average Volume , from a 20sma of volume .
Orange bars are 2-sigma (or 2 standard deviations) above average.
Magenta bars are 3-sigma (3 standard deviations) above average.
The plotted lines represent these levels.
Yellow bars have relatively higher volume compared to the previous bar.
The study can also apply these same colors to the price candles themselves, as well as showing buying and selling pressure of the volume bars.
Projected VolumeThe indicator projects what each candle's final volume will be based on the amount of volume per second so far.
Options:
Disable Projected Volume: Show current volume Instead of projecting the final volume
Show Volume Pressure: Adds a visual representation of the volume from the candle wick that is moving against the current direction.
When Volume Pressure is enabled:
On a green candle:
The red part represents the upper wick, the volume as the price comes back down from its high
The green part represents the rest of the candle, the volume as the price goes up from its low to the close
On a red candle:
The green part represents the lower wick, the volume as the price comes back up from its low
The red part represents the rest of the candle, the volume as the price goes down from its high to the close
If Volume Bars Overlap with Chart:
By default, the volume bars are overlayed in the same chart pane as the candles, with the scale on the left side. If they overlap and interfere with the candles, you can fix with these options:
To move indicator to a new pane below the chart:
Select the indicator and click on the 3 dots "..."
Select Move To > New Pane Below
Select Pin to Scale > Pin to Scale A (this will move the scale to the right side)
To adjust volume bar scale:
Go to the scale on the left/right side, hold down the mouse and drag it up/down to make the volume bars longer/shorter
To move the entire volume block up/down on the chart, click on the volume bars and hold down the mouse, then drag it up/down
To update to the latest version, just close the indicator and add it again.
Intraday predictive High Volume Activity sessions [BEA]Idea:
This indicator is designed to know the high traded volume sessions in advance before the day starts.
The predictive volume bars will be plotted in advance once a new trading session starts.
Logic Used:
The basic idea is to store each bar volume / Volume MA data for the selected time. So, the first bar of each data is stored for all selected historical days.
Once the data is stored, I am taking average of each bar data for the selected Historical days.
How to Use:
This gives me an idea of the volume behavior throughout the days based on historical data. So I decide my time of trading for that specific times sessions where the traded volume activity is high.
The bars which are more than the Moving average ( Highlighted Volume bars plotted in future ) is the time session to focus.
Designed only for intraday timeframes.
Here in the image, you can see the session in advance for high traded volume activity.
Try it test it , let me know if it can be improved further.
Have a happy trading.

SVA - Simple Volume Analyzer, by BlueJayBird [bjb] ENGLISH & SPANISH
------------------------------------- ENSLIGH
The idea was initially inspired in the concepts shared by @LazyBear on his indicator "Better Volume Indicator" (). But I found it somewhat complicated and dull. So I came up with this.
Concept:
It changes the color of volume bars based on surrounding volume changes.
Volume changes are plotted as volume MAs lines in the volume pane.
Whenever the volume is higher than these MAs, the bar changes color.
For this reason, the bar color change is RELATIVE TO the surroundings, because the color change depends on how far the MA has been extended due to sudden (or not) changes in the volume.
BAR COLORS:
Weak Green and Red: Low volume. The calm before or after the storm.
Normal Green and Red: Mid volume. Still low volume, you may get bored.
Yellow: High volume. Players are playing hard and harder.
White: Ultra-High Volume. The elephants stepped in.
NOTES:
SVA works better at lower timeframes. Though as far as I can tell, it works pretty well as far as 1D timeframe.
------------------------------------- SPANISH
La idea estuvo inicialmente inspirada en los conceptos expuestos por @LazyBear en su indicador "Better Volume Indicator" (). Pero lo encontré un poco complicado y falto de claridad. Así que me inventé este.
Conceptp:
Cambia el color de las barras basándose en los últimos cambios de volumen.
Los cambios de volumen son ploteados como lineas de medias móviles (MAs, es decir "Moving Averages") en la sección del volumen (chart pane).
En cualquier momento que el volumen es mayor que estos MAs, el color de las barras cambia.
Por esta razon, el cambio de color de las barras es RELATIVO a lo que está sucediendo alrededor, ya que el cambio de color depende de qué tan lejos el MA se haya extendido por causa de los últimos cambios (o no) de volumen.
BAR COLORS:
Verde y rojo apagados: Volumen bajo (Low Volume). La calma antes de la tormenta.
Verde y rojo normales: Volumen medio (Mid volume). Volumen todavía bajo. Es posible que te aburras.
Amarillo: Volumen alto (High Volume). Los jugadores están jugando duro.
Blanco: Volumen ultra-alto (Ultra-High Volume). Los elefantes entran a la cancha.
NOTAS:
SVA funciona mejor en temporalidades menores. Pero por lo que he visto, funciona bien hasta la temporalidad de 1D.
Volume Average % Cross - Default Volume Average Percentage Cross Indicator - Default
This version is specialized for notifications on your volume bars. If you wish to see notifications on your chart please choose "Volume Average Percentage Cross Indicator - Chart".
What is the Volume Average % Cross - Chart Indicator you might ask yourself - what is it for?
I will tell you!
Use Case:
In my Indicator you have an Input to set the period for the volume average period.
Once the volume average period is calculated it is now necessary to choose the percentage value.
What is the percentage value?
The percentage value multiplies the past volume bar with a positive percentage value and a negative percentage value. I give this calculation the name "VolPercentage".
If the volume average is below the negative VolPercentage Value it means that the last volume bar is stronger than the volume average period by the percentage you set the percentage value input at.
If the volume average is above the positive VolPercentage Value it means that the last volume bar is weaker than the volume average period by the percentage you set the percentage value input at.
That means that if for example the percentage value would be 20 it would require the volume average to be 20% above the past volume bar.
That means that if for example the percentage value would be 20 it would require the volume average to be 20% lower than the past volume bar.
Once I uploaded my 100 Indicators I will accurately describe each indicator with videos, this will be huge!
Interpretation:
Volume is the amount of market participants who bought in a candlestick bar a set amount of shares at varying prices from within the bar itself.
If volume decreases it means that there has been fewer market participants and if it increases it means that there is an increase of market participants.
If this is used with candlestick patterns it helps tremendously to identify strong or weak doji candlesticks .

Linear Regression Volume Profile [ChartPrime]LR VolumeProfile
This indicator combines a Linear Regression channel with a dynamic volume profile, giving traders a powerful way to visualize both directional price movement and volume concentration along the trend.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Linear Regression Channel: Draws a statistically fitted channel to track the market trend over a defined period.
Volume Profile Overlay: Splits the channel into multiple horizontal levels and calculates volume traded within each level.
Percentage-Based Labels: Displays each level's share of total volume as a percentage, offering a clean way to see high and low volume zones.
Gradient Bars: Profile bars are colored using a gradient scale from yellow (low volume) to red (high volume), making it easy to identify key interest areas.
Adjustable Profile Width and Resolution: Users can change the width of profile bars and spacing between levels.
Channel Direction Indicator: An arrow inside a floating label shows the direction (up or down) of the current linear regression slope.
Level Style Customization: Choose from solid, dashed, or dotted lines for visual preference.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Use the Linear Regression channel to determine the dominant price trend direction.
Analyze the volume bars to spot key levels where the majority of volume was traded—these act as potential support/resistance zones.
Pay attention to the largest profile bars—these often mark zones of institutional interest or price consolidation.
The arrow label helps quickly assess whether the trend is upward or downward.
Combine this tool with price action or momentum indicators to build high-confidence trading setups.
⯁ CONCLUSION
LR Volume Profile is a precision tool for traders who want to merge trend analysis with volume insight. By integrating linear regression trendlines with a clean and readable volume distribution, this indicator helps traders find price levels that matter the most—backed by volume, trend, and structure. Whether you're spotting high-volume nodes or gauging directional flow, this toolkit elevates your decision-making process with clarity and depth.
