VOLatiliUMThis is a useful conjunction of volume and volatility together in one script, so I named it a blended name!
It can show the diagram of:
- Volume
- Volume Variation (Volume - Past Volume)
- Volume Density (Volume / (High - Low))
- Volatility in combination with the aforesaid ones
It also offers two concepts of bar colorizing, by using the size of the bars or by applying volatility from a higher time frame (HTF).
The option "Absolute Bar Values" is included for the ones who like to see all bars positive above the zero line!
Feel free to use the script and send me your opinions. Thanks.
VolumeHeatmap | Experimental Version of Marketorders MatrixDear all,
I wish a Happy New Year!
The last time I tried to developing a Volume Heatmap, that the Marketorders made.
With the currently version I achieve my skills for that and I present it for everyone - some bugs I cannot solve today.
It also possible to see the POC - also the dynamic of volume developing:
The background for that is to find the pricelevel with the most volume - this is for valuetrading always the target.
If someone find it useful or have question - let me know!
Kind regards

Trend Volume RSI AnalysisHOW'S THIS INDICATOR DIFFERENT ?
If you are familiar with my work, then you would know that I am into creating indicators with tons of parameters, almost all of which are left for you to configure. While this gives you an incredible level of customization, the feedback I received was that some of you felt a bit overwhelmed by them.
As such, I decided to create an incredibly simple, yet effective indicator that can give you a better overview of what's going on with the security you are trading/investing in without you needing to tweak a dozen parameters. So, the first and most obvious difference you will notice with Trend Volume RSI Analysis is that you have only 1 parameter to configure (length), one checkbox to tick (highlight buy/sell zones), and one dropdown menu to choose from (the type of analysis). All unnecessary features are stripped away and all calculations are done on the backend. Now let's see if this simplicity affects the efficiency of the indicator.
HOW DOES THE INDICATOR WORK?
1. Trend Analysis
The first type of analysis, selected by default, is the Trend. It shows the balance between bulls and bears and their respective strength. In order to filter out the noise and smooth out the graph, a moving average is applied twice - once from left to right, and once from right to left. Although this causes a minor delay, it is justified since the common moving averages lag is significantly reduced. The screenshot below shows an example of a small bull run on the 1h chart.
The indicator also performs very well in spotting divergences. Two divergences (bearish and bullish respectively) are illustrated in the screenshot below.
2. Volume Analysis
Volume Analysis doesn't just sum the standard volume of the trend. Rather, it calculates the effective volume - the one responsible for moving the price up or down and seeks the relationship between total volume and price movement. Thus, you get a smooth volume trendline that should prevent you from opening a position against the trend. As logic dictates, if the buying volume is growing, then the trendline will go up and it will be in green. If, however, the selling volume is growing, the trendline will decline and it will be in red. This analysis is better used on a bigger time frame, such as on a 4h chart.
Note: For those of you who have used my other indicator Multi Time Frame Effective Volume Profile, the formula used here is slightly different. The one used there is optimized for volume bars, while the modifications here deliver a slightly better trendline with less noise.
3. RSI Analysis
Contrary to the standard RSI which derives its results from price movement, this RSI is calculated based on the modified volume. So it's fair to say that it's a Volume RSI. This makes it a bit jerkier, almost something in between an RSI and Stochastics. However, it is much better in identifying divergences and will quickly indicate potential trends as it will start climbing up sooner. The screenshot below is on a 4h chart, but that's only because I want to show more examples. It works equally well on the 1h or even on a minute chart.
In the first example, the divergence is pretty obvious on all three indicators. However, in example 2 you would be able to spot it only on Trend Volume RSI Analysis and somewhat in Stochastics. RSI makes a double bottom there. Similar is the case with example 3, where this indicator is long gone on the way up in comparison to the other two. The difference in reaction comes from the supply and demand relationship, not just from the price movement. When bears are losing steam, the indicator detects this as a low supply level, thus printing the divergence or even climbing up to indicate the start of a new mini-trend.
I must note, however, that this part of the indicator must be used in accordance with the main trend (this is where the other two analyses come into play). You go long on a pullback when there's an established bull trend and you go short on a pullback when there's an established bear trend.
4. Additional Settings
I know, for an indicator with just one parameter this description is getting pretty long. There's only one thing left to cover - highlighting the buy/sell zones. It is fairly simple - when it's ON, the zones where bulls are stronger than bears will be highlighted in green. When the opposite is true, the background will be red. You can switch it OFF if it intervenes with your analysis, but I prefer having it as it shows a confluence of bull/bear force and the indicator itself. Here's an example below:
HOW MUCH DOES THIS INDICATOR COST ?
Although Trend Volume RSI Analysis may look like an incredibly simple indicator, I can assure you that a great deal of time, testing, and optimizing have gone into creating an indicator that does almost everything for you. The initial version was much more complex and a few dozen iterations were required to reach that level of simplicity and practicality. Furthermore, I will continue to update this indicator as well as introduce user-requested features if they will improve its overall performance.

Disclaimer: The purpose of all indicators is to indicate potential setups, which may lead to profitable results. No indicator is perfect and certainly, no indicator has a 100% success rate. They are subject to flaws, wrongful interpretation, bugs, etc. This indicator makes no exception. It must be used with a sound money management plan that puts the main emphasis on protecting your capital. Please, do not rely solely on any single indicator to make trading decisions instead of you. Indicators are storytellers, not fortune tellers. They help you see the bigger picture, not the future.
Multi Time Frame Effective Volume ProfileWHAT DOES THIS INDICATOR DO?
It is a well-known fact that volume often precedes price. As such, if you can spot an increased volume early on, you can take a position before the majority joins the trend. The purpose of this indicator is to show the tactical moves of the insiders and the big players before they become obvious to everyone. Similarly, you should more easily be able to identify trend exhaustion and look to close your position.
This volume indicator is largely inspired by Pascal Willain's concept of Effective Volume described in his book "Value in Time" , which is an improvement over Larry Williams' accumulation/distribution formula. The more robust formula takes into account two very important factors:
1) the gaps that are an inevitable part of almost all securities;
2) the closing price in relation to the spread, which indicates the bull/bear strength;
I have slightly modified Pascal Willain's formula for Effective Volume and introduced a few additional features, which I believe make the indicator easier to use and understand.
HOW DOES THE INDICATOR WORK?
1. Volume Bar Deconstruction
The first significant part of this indicator is that it deconstructs the volume bar of your current trading session into one-minute volume bars, separates the significant volume, and then reconstructs the bar again. As a result, you get a new bar, in which only the significant volume is counted. Not only this, but you also get a more comprehensive view of the relationship between buying and selling that occurred on the smaller time frame.
In the screenshot below you can see that although the bears were stronger, the bulls met them with almost identical force, which resulted in absorbing the supply in 1 and then in 2 the demand drove the price up. In a traditional volume bar chart (which is also plotted), you only see the total traded volume in either red or green depending on the closing of the bar. As you would probably agree, this does not reveal the whole story.
Accumulation/distribution by large players and funds is done with great precision, which is hard to catch intraday and nearly impossible on a daily time frame. However, large orders are hard to conceal on the 1-min chart since any unusual volume sticks out like a sore thumb. The whole idea here is for you to get a comprehensive view of what's going on in the small time frame, reveal any hard to spot transactions, and then make an informed decision on your trading time frame.
To ease your analysis even further, the indicator shows you minor volume as a percent of the major volume . Since your current time frame volume bar is a sum of all buying and selling volume from a smaller time frame, you get to see a more complete picture of the buying and selling that occurred. For example, you have a total volume of 150 BTC in a single 1h volume bar, out of which 100 BTC is in selling volume and 50 BTC is in buying volume. What you will see as parameters are this: 50 (buying volume), 100 (selling volume), 50 (minor volume as a percent of the big volume, since 50/100 = 0.5 = 50%). The higher the percentage, the more even the powers between buying and selling are.
2. Volume Trend
Building upon the first feature of the indicator, you can also choose a cumulative volume trend line. It is constructed by evaluating the type of the significant volume - adding it up if the bar closes positive (green) and subtracting it if the bar closes negative (red). The evaluation is once again done on a 1-min time frame by default, but you can change that along with the count lookback period in settings.
3. Bull / Bear Equilibrium
Based upon the volume bars, Bull/Bear Equilibrium shows you the difference between buying and selling pressure under the form of a smoothed histogram. It is particularly useful not only for spotting trends early in the beginning, but also when those trends start reaching a point of exhaustion. You can then move your Stop Loss accordingly, close part of your position to preserve profits, or even look for a good entry position in the opposite direction.
HOW MUCH DOES THE INDICATOR COST ?
As much as I would like to offer it for free (as some of my other ones), a great deal of work, trading logic, and testing have gone into creating this indicator. More than a few hundred iterations and a few dozen branches were required to reach the end result which is a precise combination of usefulness, simplicity, and practicality. Furthermore, this indicator will continue to be updated and user-requested features that improve its performance will be added.

OPINICUS VOLUME DATA - Time Of Day Relative Volume (RVOL)This tool calculates the relative volume (RVOL) based on the normal average volume at that particular time of day.
Relative volume is a powerful piece of information because it offers a gauge as to whether a stock is in play or not. If RVOL is less than 1 it is not in play on this trading day or during this timeframe. If RVOL is above 2, it IS in play and can potentially be traded.
This script allows you to determine if relative volume is average, above average, 2x, or 3x via different color volume bars, at that particular time of day.
There are 2 different settings on this volume indicator.
The first setting is "Gradient." This is the preferred setting, and the one I personally use. Gradient is going to show you different color volume bars based on the RVOL multiple.
The color scheme is as follows:
Gray for average volume
Red if RVOL is between 1.0 and 1.5
Orange if RVOL is between 1.5 and 2
Green if RVOL is between 2.0 and 3.0
Lime green (bright green) if RVOL is greater than 3.
The second setting is "Price." This setting simply shows you the color of the candlestick. This is useful if you find the gradient setting to be too distracting, but still want to see if there is increased relative volume.
There is an alerts setting, which I find to be useful but can also be very distracting. If you leave the "Alert At RVOL %" setting at 0, then alerts will only be triggered if the current candle exceeds the 1.0 (100%) RVOL level. This happens far too frequently, so I prefer to put the alert at 2 or 3. If you change the "Alert At RVOL %" setting then alerts will be triggered if the RVOL percentage (blue number) exceeds your given value. The blue number is a percentage of the average, so if it’s at 1, then it’s 100% of the average.
Note: This tool does not work if you have after-hours or pre-market data displayed. The preferred setting for this tool is the 15' chart, with a 21 day look back period. It is also very useful on the daily chart when doing higher timeframe research.
bulls vs bear for VSA(Google translation from Russian.)
This indicator is based on the efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA and has the same parameters.
Its only difference is that all the values of the efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA indicator are sequentially added here.
I want to note that the Period spread - Bars from close to close argument was made for experimental purposes, and shows interesting results for values 3-4-5, in theory this is not very logical. Because then the estimate of the spread for this interval (3-4-5) will be divided by the estimate of the volume of the current bar.
Also added here is a moving average with a default period of 10 - theoretically, if the indicator is above the moving average - the initiative is behind the bulls - if below - the initiative is behind the bears.
It is recommended to use this indicator with the indicator:
efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA
Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2
Russian language.
Этот индикатор сделан на основе efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA и имеет такие же параметры.
Единственное отличие его в том, что тут последовательно складываются все значения индикатора efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA .
Хочу отметить, что аргумент Period spread - Bars from close to close (Период спреда - Баров от закрытия до закрытия) сделан в экспериментальных целях, и показывает интересные результаты на значения 3-4-5, в теории это не очень логично. Потому-что тогда будет делиться оценка спреда за этот интервал (3-4-5), на оценку величины объема текущего бара.
Также тут добавлена скользящая средняя с периодом по умолчанию 10 – теоретически, если индикатор над скользящей средней – инициатива за быками – если ниже – инициатива за медведями.
Это индикатор рекомендуется использовать с индикатором:
efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA
Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2
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:
Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2
BAR for VSA
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.

PVA Candles and Volume© ForexPipCheats and iceicebaby_
This indicator is coded to run on Trading View which was originally created by traderathome (TAH), qFish, and all other respective contributors for the mt4 version.
It creates standard PVA candlesticks and volumes based on Price Volume Support Resistance Analysis (PVSRA)
Special colours are used demote candles and corresponding volume bars where special situations occur involving price and volume
Hence PVA (Price-Volume Analysis).
The special situations or requirements for the colours are as follows:
Situation "Climax"
Bars with volume >= 200% of the average volume of the 10 most recent previous candles in the current TF, and bars where the product of candle spread x candle volume is >= the highest for the 10 most recent previous candles in the current TF. 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 most recent previous candles in the TFs. Bull bars are blue and bear are blue-violet
**Important**
Please note that this indicator is a form of market analysis and not a trading method.
You are recommended to use this indicator with the Dragon and Trend indicator to guide your trading entry. You can find it in my profile.
The volume colours may not be the same if you compared it with mt4 as the broker you are using might differ.
Chat Display Settings
Make the necessary adjustments to your main chart in order for your indicator to display correctly.
1. Change the candle body and outline's transparency to 100%
2. Change the candle wick to silver /light grey for bull and dark grey for bear
Colour Settings
Note that the default colours are based on the colours of the PVA Volumes trading guide.
It is recommended to keep it default but please feel free to change it however you like.
Bull Volume Climax - Green
Bull Rising Volume - Blue
Bull Normal Volume - Silver / Light Grey
Bear Volume Climax - Red
Bear Rising Volume - Bear
Bear Normal Volume - Dark Grey
Alert Settings
This indicator comes with a custom alert setting whenever a Rising Volume or Volume climax condition is fulfilled. However, it does not trigger automatically and you are required to manually set the duration before it can be initialized.
1. Create an alert on your desired currency pairing by selecting "Apply PVA Alert"
2. Set alert per bar and change the alert setting duration to unlimited if possible
3. You are recommended to set multiple alerts on various TFs if possible ( M1 , M5, H1, H4, D1)
4. Remember to replace {Edit TF} in the alert message with the TF you have created the alert on.
This script will include additional SR and Daily Range indicator in the future, hopefully.

VOLUME CANDLE ICHIMOKU v1.0 @aliakbariHello guys,
"Volume Candle Ichimoku v1.0" as an auxiliary indicator can be used to get confirmation with your trading strategy.
For example, when your strategy gives a BUY signal and the price is moving up but "Volume Candle Ichimoku" gives low volume signal, we can conclude that something is wrong and probably price movement is not strong enough or vice versa to make sure the price movement is strong enough.
You can get signal from (1) exiting volume candles from Ichimoku clouds, (2) crossing of conversion and base line or (3) lagging span line.
* For each chart, check on which timeframe you will receive better signals.
This is an early version and more efficient versions will be released in the future.
Your comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Good Luck,
Ali Akbari
Relative Volume RVOL AlertsRelative Volume or RVOL is an indicator used to help determine the amount of volume change over a given period of time.
It is often used to help traders determine how in-play a ticker is.
General rule of thumb is the higher the RVOL, the more in play a stock is.
I myself like to use it as a substitute of the volume indicator itself.
Basic Calculation:
Relative Volume = Current Volume / Average Volume
Crossover Signals:
Any time there is a volume spike which causes a crossover of the user set 'Smoothed Moving Average' or 'Threshold' a green/red dot will appear at the top. The color of the dot is dependent on closing of the candle. Therefore it does not necessarily mean price will continue in that direction since volume spikes often happen in peaks or valleys.
Threshold:
The level at which custom alerts and signal can be set. The higher the value, the more volume required to trigger.
Built in Alerts:
You can set custom alerts for the crossovers of the adjustable threshold, or the average RVOL band.

- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels, Transparency for buy/sell levels
WARNING:
- Compilation Time: 1 min 20 sec
Usage:
- specify max_level/min_level/spacing (required)
- select range (start_bar, range length), confirm with range highlighting
- select volume type: Buy/Sell/Total
- select mode Value Area/VWAP to show corresponding levels
- flip/select anchor point to position the buy/sell levels
- use Horiz Buy/Sell SLI mode with 100 or Vertical SLI with 300 levels if needed
- use POC/Developing POC/VA/VWAP High/Low as S/R levels. Usually daily values from 1-3 days back are used as levels for the current day.
SLI:
use SLI modes to extend the functionality of the indicator:
- Horiz Buy/Sell 2x SLI lets you view 100 Buy/Sell Levels at the same time
- Vertical Max_Vol 3x SLI lets you increase the resolution to 300 levels
- you need at least 2 instances of the indicator attached to the same chart for SLI to work
1) Enable Horiz SLI:
- attach 2 indicator instances to the chart
- make sure all instances have the same min_level/max_level/range/spacing settings
- select volume type for each instance: you can have a buy/sell or buy/total or sell/total SLI. Make sure your buy volume instance is the last attached to be displayed on top of sell/total instances without overlapping.
- set buy_sell_sli_mode to true for indicator instances with volume_type = buy/sell, for type total this is optional.
- this basically tells the script to calculate % lengths based on total volume instead of individual buy/sell volumes and use ext offset for sell levels
- Sell Offset is calculated relative to Buy Offset to stack/extend sell after buy. Buy Offset = Zero - Buy Length. Sell Offset = Buy Offset - Sell Length = Zero - Buy Length - Sell Length
- there are no master/slave instances in this mode, all indicators are equal, poc/va levels are not affected and can work independently, i.e. one instance can show va levels, another - vwap.
2) Enable Vertical SLI:
- attach the first instance and evaluate the full range to roughly determine where is the highest max_vol/poc level i.e. 0..20000, poc is in the bottom half (third, middle etc) or
- add more instances and split the full vertical range between them, i.e. set min_level/max_level of each corresponding instance to 0..10000, 10000..20000 etc
- make sure all instances have the same range/spacing settings
- an instance with a subrange containing the poc level of the full range is now your master instance (bottom half). All other instances are slaves, their levels will be calculated based on the max_vol/poc of the master instance instead of local values
- set show_max_vol_sli to true for the master instance. for slave instances this is optional and can be used to check if master/slave max_vol values match and slave can read the master's value. This simply plots the max_vol value
- you can also attach all instances and set show_max_vol_sli to true in all of them - the instance with the largest max_vol should become the master
Auto/Manual Ext Max_Vol Modes:
- for auto vertical max_vol SLI mode set max_vol_sli_src in all slave instances to the max_vol of the master indicator: "VolumeProfileFree_MAX_RRB: Max Volume for Vertical SLI Mode". It can be tricky with 2+ instances
- in case auto SLI mode doesn't work - assign max_vol_sli_ext in all slave instances the max_vol value of the master indicator manually and repeat on each change
- manual override max_vol_sli_ext has higher priority than auto max_vol_sli_src when both values are assigned, when they are 0 and close respectively - SLI is disabled
- master/slave max_vol values must match on each bar at all times to maintain proper level scale, otherwise slave's levels will look larger than they should relative to the master's levels.
- Max_vol (red) is the last param in the long list of indicator outputs
- the only true max_vol/poc in this SLI mode is the master's max_vol/poc. All poc/va levels in slaves will be irrelevant and are disabled automatically. Slaves can only show VWAP levels.
- VA Levels of the master instance in this SLI mode are calculated based on the subrange, not the whole range and may be inaccurate. Cross check with the full range.
WARNING!
- auto mode max_vol_sli_src is experimental and may not work as expected
- you can only assign auto mode max_vol_sli_src = max_vol once due to some bug with unhandled exception/buffer overflow in Tradingview. Seems that you can clear the value only by removing the indicator instance
- sometimes you may see a "study in error state" error when attempting to set it back to close. Remove indicator/Reload chart and start from scratch
- volume profile may not finish to redraw and freeze in an ugly shape after an UI parameter change when max_vol_sli_src is assigned a max_vol value. Assign it to close - VP should redraw properly, but it may not clear the assigned max_vol value
- you can't seem to be able to assign a proper auto max_vol value to the 3rd slave instance
- 2x Vertical SLI works and tested in both auto/manual, 3x SLI - only manual seems to work (you can have a mixed mode: 2nd instance - auto, 3rd - manual)
Notes:
- This code uses Pinescript v3 compatibility framework
- This code is 20x-30x faster (main for cycle is removed) especially on lower tfs with long history - only 4-5 sec load/redraw time vs 30-60 sec of the old Pro versions
- Instead of repeatedly calculating the total sum of volumes for the whole range on each bar, vol sums are now increased on each bar and passed to the next in the range making it a per range vs per bar calculation that reduces time dramatically
- 100 levels consist of 50 main plot levels and 50 line objects used as alternate levels, differences are:
- line objects are always shown on top of other objects, such as plot levels, zero line and side cover, it's not possible to cover/move them below.
- all line objects have variable lengths, use actual x,y coords and don't need side cover, while all plot levels have a fixed length of 100 bars, use offset and require cover.
- all key properties of line objects, such as x,y coords, color can be modified, objects can be moved/deleted, while this is not possible for static plot levels.
- large width values cause line objects to expand only up/down from center while their length remains the same and stays within the level's start/end points similar to an area style.
- large width values make plot levels expand in all directions (both h/v), beyond level start/end points, sometimes overlapping zero line, making them an inaccurate % length representation, as opposed to line objects/plot levels with area style.
- large width values translate into different widths on screen for line objects and plot levels.
- you can't compensate for this unwanted horiz width expansion of plot levels because width uses its own units, that don't translate into bars/pixels.
- line objects are visible only when num_levels > 50, plot levels are used otherwise
- Since line objects are lines, plot levels also use style line because other style implementations will break the symmetry/spacing between levels.
- if you don't see a volume profile check range settings: min_level/max_level and spacing, set spacing to 0 (or adjust accordingly based on the symbol's precision, i.e. 0.00001)
- you can view either of Buy/Sell/Total volumes, but you can't display Buy/Sell levels at the same time using a single instance (this would 2x reduce the number of levels). Use 2 indicator instances in horiz buy/sell sli mode for that.
- Volume Profile/Value Area are calculated for a given range and updated on each bar. Each level has a fixed length. Offsets control visible level parts. Side Cover hides the invisible parts.
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels - UI Style color/transparency can only change shape's color and doesn't affect textcolor, hence this additional option
- Custom Width - UI Style supports only width <= 4, hence this additional option
- POC is visible in both modes. In VWAP mode Developing POC becomes VWAP, VA High and Low => VWAP High and Low correspondingly to minimize the number of plot outputs
- You can't change buy/sell level colors from input (only transparency) - this requires 2x plot outputs => 2x reduces the number of levels to fit the max 64 limit. That's why 2 additional plots are used to dim the non Value Area zones
- You can change level transparency of line objects. Due to Pinescript limitations, only discrete values are supported.
- Inverse transp correlation creates the necessary illusion of "covered" line objects, although they are shown on top of the cover all the time
- If custom lines_transp is set the illusion will break because transp range can't be skewed easily (i.e. transp 0..100 is always mapped to 100..0 and can't be mapped to 50..0)
- transparency can applied to lines dynamically but nva top zone can't be completely removed because plot/mixed type of levels are still used when num_levels < 50 and require cover
- transparency can't be applied to plot levels dynamically from script this can be done only once from UI, and you can't change plot color for the past length bars
- All buy/sell volume lengths are calculated as % of a fixed base width = 100 bars (100%). You can't set show_last from input to change it
- Range selection/Anchoring is not accurate on charts with time gaps since you can only anchor from a point in the future and measure distance in time periods, not actual bars, and there's no way of knowing the number of future gaps in advance.
- Adjust Width for Log Scale mode now also works on high precision charts with small prices (i.e. 0.00001)
- in Adjust Width for Log Scale mode Level1 width extremes can be capped using max deviation (when level1 = 0, shift = 0 width becomes infinite)
- There's no such thing as buy/sell volume, there's just volume, but for the purposes of the Volume Profile method, assume: bull candle = buy volume, bear candle = sell volume

Continuous Volume Profile v1.0This script is a continuous real time Volume Profile. Unlike the standard Volume Profile that focuses on fixed/visible range it will update and plot the following on every bar.
Point of Control (POC)
Value Area High (VAH)
Value Area Low (VAL)
You have the standard 3 parameters to configure:
Period Length
Number of Bins/Rows
Percent for Value Area
Please pm me if you would like to try the script.
Enhanced Volume MonitorThis is my enhanced volume monitor using Pine Script version 4.0 freely available to ALL! It's very much like the built-in TV volume monitor displayed in the overlay chart, but it isn't dockable like TV's, sorry. Maybe one day they will find it in thier hearts to adopt this script for thier built-in replacement. I would gladly do so and already offered it previously. I preferably put it over top of the overlay chart by itself, just like you see above, and then I can expand it down easily for a substantially better quick inspection. I provided a wide assortment of vibrant color schemes to choose from for anyone who may have vision impairments. This also displays that color scheming is VERY possible in Pine.
I would personally like to thank the talented individuals at TV for providing a platform that embraces an initial free membership, which I first obtained myself, for individuals like me to freely code in Pine with mathemagical ideas and mental wizardry, creating ultimately, inventions like this eye candy display above.
Features List Includes:
I.P.O.C.S.(Initial Public Offering Clean Start) Technology - plotting from day one, minute one of IPO with all 4 moving averages
Enable/disable dark background for enhanced visibility
Color schemes (all displayed above)
Enable/disable tricolor scheme
Enable/disable volume moving average
Moving average "type" option with multiple selections
Adjustable moving average period
If you do have any questions or comments regarding this indicator, I will consider your inquiries, thoughts, and ideas presented below in the comments section, when time provides it. As always, "Like" it if you simply just like it, and also return to my scripts list occasionally for additional postings. Have a profitable future everyone!
Quan Money FlowThis indicator used to check the power in price and volume while the money going in and out of the market. It takes combination of price power, its direction and volume into consideration.
*** Can be used on long term chart (monthly or weekly) or even short-term one like daily, hourly chart.
*** Indicator colors:
- Red: trend down
- Green: trend up
*** Guide to use this indicator:
- Buy when it is under 0 and starts going up.
- Be hesitate to buy when the indicator is over 0, as your risk is big and the reward is low.
- Always put a stop when you go in the market, as NO indicator can guarantee you 100% correct all the time.
Volume Profile Free MAX SLI (50 Levels Value Area VWAP) by RRBVolume Profile Free MAX SLI by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
All available Volume Profile Free MAX SLI versions are listed below (They are very similar and I don't want to publish them as separate indicators):
ver 1.0: style columns implementation
ver 2.0: style histogram implementation
ver 3.0: style line implementation
This indicator calculates Volume Profile for a given range and shows it as a histogram consisting of 50 horizontal bars.
It can also show Point of Control (POC), Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP StdDev High/Low as dynamically moving levels.
Free accounts can't access Standard TradingView Volume Profile, hence this indicator.
There are several versions: Free Pro, Free MAX SLI, Free History. This is the Free MAX SLI version. The Differences are listed below:
- Free Pro: 25 levels, +Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP High/Low Levels, Above/Below Area Dimming
- Free MAX SLI: 50 levels, packed to the limit, 2x SLI modes for Buy/Sell or even higher res 150 levels
- Free History: auto highest/lowest, historic poc/va levels for each session
Features:
- High-Res Volume Profile with up to 50 levels (3 implementations)
- 20-30x faster than the old Pro versions especially on lower tfs with long history
- 2x SLI modes for even higher res: 150 levels with 3x vertical SLI, 50 buy/sell levels with 2x horiz SLI
- Calculate Volume Profile on full history
- POC, Developing POC Levels
- Buy/Sell/Total volume modes
- Side Cover
- Value Area, VAH/VAL dynamic levels
- VWAP High/Low dynamic levels with Source, Length, StdDev as params
- Show/Hide all levels
- Dim Non Value Area Zones
- Custom Range with Highlighting
- 3 Anchor points for Volume Profile
- Flip Levels Horizontally
- Adjustable width, offset and spacing of levels
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels and Transparency for buy/sell levels
Usage:
- specify max_level/min_level/spacing (required)
- select range (start_bar, range length), confirm with range highlighting
- select volume type: Buy/Sell/Total
- select mode Value Area/VWAP to show corresponding levels
- flip/select anchor point to position the buy/sell levels
- use Horiz SLI mode for 50 Buy/Sell or Vertical SLI for 150 levels if needed
- use POC/Developing POC/VA/VWAP High/Low as S/R levels. Usually daily values from 1-3 days back are used as levels for the current day.
SLI:
- use SLI modes to extend the functionality of the indicator:
- Horiz Buy/Sell 2x SLI lets you view 50 Buy/Sell Levels at the same time
- Vertical Max_Vol 3x SLI lets you increase the resolution to 150 levels
- you need at least 2 instances of the indicator attached to the same chart for SLI to work
1) Enable Horiz SLI:
- attach 2 indicator instances to the chart
- make sure all instances have the same min_level/max_level/range/spacing settings
- select volume type for each instance: you can have a buy/sell or buy/total or sell/total SLI. Make sure your buy volume instance is the last attached to be displayed on top of sell/total instances without overlapping.
- set buy_sell_sli_mode to true for indicator instances with volume_type = buy/sell, for type total this is optional.
- this basically tells the script to calculate % lengths based on total volume instead of individual buy/sell volumes and use ext offset for sell levels
- Sell Offset is calculated relative to Buy Offset to stack/extend sell after buy. Buy Offset = Zero - Buy Length. Sell Offset = Buy Offset - Sell Length = Zero - Buy Length - Sell Length
- there are no master/slave instances in this mode, all indicators are equal, poc/va levels are not affected and can work independently, i.e. one instance can show va levels, another - vwap.
2) Enable Vertical SLI:
- attach the first instance and evaluate the full range to roughly determine where is the highest max_vol/poc level i.e. 0..20000, poc is in the bottom half (third, middle etc) or
- add more instances and split the full vertical range between them, i.e. set min_level/max_level of each corresponding instance to 0..10000, 10000..20000 etc
- make sure all instances have the same range/spacing settings
- an instance with a subrange containing the poc level of the full range is now your master instance (bottom half). All other instances are slaves, their levels will be calculated based on the max_vol/poc of the master instance instead of local values
- set show_max_vol_sli to true for the master instance. for slave instances this is optional and can be used to check if master/slave max_vol values match and slave can read the master's value. This simply plots the max_vol value
- you can also attach all instances and set show_max_vol_sli to true in all of them - the instance with the largest max_vol should become the master
Auto/Manual Ext Max_Vol Modes:
- for auto vertical max_vol SLI mode set max_vol_sli_src in all slave instances to the max_vol of the master indicator: "VolumeProfileFree_MAX_RRB: Max Volume for Vertical SLI Mode". It can be tricky with 2+ instances
- in case auto SLI mode doesn't work - assign max_vol_sli_ext in all slave instances the max_vol value of the master indicator manually and repeat on each change
- manual override max_vol_sli_ext has higher priority than auto max_vol_sli_src when both values are assigned, when they are 0 and close respectively - SLI is disabled
- master/slave max_vol values must match on each bar at all times to maintain proper level scale, otherwise slave's levels will look larger than they should relative to the master's levels.
- Max_vol (red) is the last param in the long list of indicator outputs
- the only true max_vol/poc in this SLI mode is the master's max_vol/poc. All poc/va levels in slaves will be irrelevant and are disabled automatically. Slaves can only show VWAP levels.
- VA Levels of the master instance in this SLI mode are calculated based on the subrange, not the whole range. Cross check with the full range.
WARNING!
- auto mode max_vol_sli_src is experimental and may not work as expected
- you can only assign auto mode max_vol_sli_src = max_vol once due to some bug with unhandled exception/buffer overflow in Tradingview. Seems that you can clear the value only by removing the indicator instance

- This code is 20x-30x faster (main for cycle is removed) especially on lower tfs with long history - only 2-3 sec load/redraw time vs 30-60 sec of the old Pro versions
- Instead of repeatedly calculating the total sum of volumes for the whole range on each bar, vol sums are now increased on each bar and passed to the next in the range making it a per range vs per bar calculation that reduces time dramatically
- hist_base for levels still results is ugly redraw
- if you don't see a volume profile check range settings: min_level/max_level and spacing, set spacing to 0 (or adjust accordingly based on the symbol's precision, i.e. 0.00001)
- you can view either of Buy/Sell/Total volumes, but you can't display Buy/Sell levels at the same time using a single instance (this would 2x reduce the number of levels). Use 2 indicator instances in horiz buy/sell sli mode for that.
- Volume Profile/Value Area are calculated for a given range and updated on each bar. Each level has a fixed length. Offsets control visible level parts. Side Cover hides the invisible parts.
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels - UI Style color/transparency can only change shape's color and doesn't affect textcolor, hence this additional option
- Custom Width - UI Style supports only width <= 4, hence this additional option
- POC is visible in both modes. In VWAP mode Developing POC becomes VWAP, VA High and Low => VWAP High and Low correspondingly to minimize the number of plot outputs
- You can't change buy/sell level colors from input (only plot transparency) - this requires 2x plot outputs => 2x reduces the number of levels to fit the max 64 limit. That's why 2 additional plots are used to dim the non Value Area zones
- All buy/sell volume lengths are calculated as % of a fixed base width = 100 bars (100%). You can't set show_last from input to change it
- There's no such thing as buy/sell volume, there's just volume, but for the purposes of the Volume Profile method, assume: bull candle = buy volume, bear candle = sell volume

Volume Profile Free Pro (25 Levels Value Area VWAP) by RRBVolume Profile Free Pro by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
All available Volume Profile Free Pro versions are listed below (They are very similar and I don't want to publish them as separate indicators):
ver 1.0: style columns implementation
ver 2.0: style histogram implementation
ver 3.0: style line implementation
This indicator calculates Volume Profile for a given range and shows it as a histogram consisting of 25 horizontal bars.
It can also show Point of Control (POC), Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP StdDev High/Low as dynamically moving levels.
Free accounts can't access Standard TradingView Volume Profile, hence this indicator.
There are 3 basic methods to calculate the Value Area for a session.
- original method developed by Steidlmayr (calculated around POC)
- classical method using StdDev (calculated around the mean VWAP)
- another method based on the mean absolute deviation (calculated around the median)
POC is a high volume node and can be used as support/resistance. But when far from the day's average price it may not be as good a trend filter as the other methods.
The 80% Rule: When the market opens above/below the Value Area and then returns/stays back inside for 2 consecutive 30min periods it has 80% chance of filling VA (like a gap).
There are several versions: Free, Free Pro, Free MAX. This is the Free Pro version. The Differences are listed below:
- Free: 30 levels, Buy/Sell/Total Volume Profile views, POC
- Free Pro: 25 levels, +Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP High/Low Levels, Above/Below Area Dimming
- Free MAX: 50 levels, packed to the limit
Features:
- Volume Profile with up to 25 levels (3 implementations)
- POC, Developing POC Levels
- Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side View modes
- Side Cover
- Value Area, VAH/VAL dynamic levels
- VWAP High/Low dynamic levels with Source, Length, StdDev as params
- Show/Hide all levels
- Dim Non Value Area Zones
- Custom Range with Highlighting
- 3 Anchor points for Volume Profile
- Flip Levels Horizontally
- Adjustable width, offset and spacing of levels
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels and Transparency for buy/sell levels
Usage:
- specify max_level/min_level for a range (required in ver 1.0/2.0, auto/optional in ver 3.0 = set to highest/lowest)
- select range (start_bar, range length), confirm with range highlighting
- select mode Value Area or VWAP to show corresponding levels.
- flip/select anchor point to position the buy/sell levels, adjust width and spacing as needed
- select Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side view mode
- use POC/Developing POC/VA/VWAP High/Low as S/R levels. Usually daily values from 1-3 days back are used as levels for the current day.
- Green - buy volume of a specific price level in a range, Red - sell volume. Green + Red = Total volume of a price level in a range
There's no native support for vertical histograms in Pinescript (with price axis as base)
Basically, there are 4 ways to plot a series of horizontal bars stacked on top of each other:
1. plotshape style labeldown (ver 0 prototype discarded)
- you can have a set of fixed width/height text labels consisting of a series of underscores and moving dynamically as levels. Level offset controls visible length.
- you can move levels and scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- you can't fill the gaps between levels/adjust/extend width, height - this results in a half baked volume profile and looks ugly
- fixed text level height doesn't adjust and looks bad on a log scale
- fixed font width also doesn't scale and can't be properly aligned with bars when zooming
2. plot style columns + hist_base (ver 1.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small adjacent vertical columns with level offsets controlling visible length.
- you can't hide/move levels of the volume profile histogram dynamically on each bar, they must be plotted at all times regardless - you can't delete the history of a plot.
- you can't scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically, can't set show_last from input, must use a preset fixed width for each level
- hist_base can only be a static const expression, can't be assigned highest/lowest range values automatically - you have to specify max_level/min_level manually from input
- you can't control spacing between columns - there's an equalizer bar effect when you zoom in, and solid bars when you zoom out
- using hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- level top can be properly aligned with another level's bottom producing a clean good looking histogram
- columns are properly aligned with bars automatically
3. plot style histogram + hist_base (ver 2.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small vertical bars (horizontal histogram) instead of columns.
- you can control the width of each histogram bar comprising a level (spacing/horiz density). Large enough width will cause bar overlapping and give level a "solid" look regardless of zoom
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style - custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
- this method still uses hist_base and inherits other limitations of ver 2.0
4. plot style lines (ver 3.0)
- you can also plot long horizontal bars using lines with level offsets controlling visible length.
- lines don't need hist_base - fast and smooth redraw times
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- level top can't be properly aligned with another level's bottom and have a proper spacing because line width uses its own units and doesn't scale
- fixed line width of a level (vertical thickness) doesn't scale and looks bad on log (level overlapping)
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style, a custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
Notes:
- hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- indicator is slow on TFs with long history 10000+ bars
- Volume Profile/Value Area are calculated for a given range and updated on each bar. Each level has a fixed width. Offsets control visible level parts. Side Cover hides the invisible parts.
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels - UI Style color/transparency can only change shape's color and doesn't affect textcolor, hence this additional option
- Custom Widh for levels - UI Style supports only width <= 4, hence this additional option
- POC is visible in both modes. In VWAP mode Developing POC becomes VWAP, VA High and Low => VWAP High and Low correspondingly to minimize the number of plot outputs
- You can't change buy/sell level colors (only plot transparency) - this requires 2x plot outputs exceeding max 64 limit. That's why 2 additional plots are used to dim the non Value Area zones
- Use Side by Side view to compare buy and sell volumes between each other: base width = max(total_buy_vol, total_sell_vol)
- All buy/sell volume lengths are calculated as % of a fixed base width = 100 bars (100%). You can't set show_last from input
- Sell Offset is calculated relative to Buy Offset to stack/extend sell on top of buy. Buy Offset = Zero - Buy Length. Sell Offset = Buy Offset - Sell Length = Zero - Buy Length - Sell Length
- If you see "loop too long error" - change some values in UI and it will recalculate - no need to refresh the chart
- There's no such thing as buy/sell volume, there's just volume, but for the purposes of the Volume Profile method, assume: bull candle = buy volume, bear candle = sell volume
- Volume Profile Range is limited to 5000 bars for free accounts
