Reptile Candle Marker with ArrowsReptile Candle Marker
The Reptile Candle Marker is a custom indicator designed to identify a specific pattern in price action, known as the "reptile candle." This pattern is characterized by a small body with long wicks on both the upper and lower sides. These candles often indicate indecision or a reversal in the market, making them useful for traders looking for potential turning points.
Key Features:
Small Body and Large Wicks: The indicator highlights candles with a small body relative to the overall candle range, accompanied by long upper and lower wicks. This is achieved by comparing the size of the wicks to the body and the overall candle range.
Volume Confirmation: The indicator ensures that the identified candles are accompanied by high volume, which serves as confirmation of the significance of the price action.
Visual Highlighting: When a "reptile" candle is detected, the body of the candle and the wicks are both colored yellow. This allows for easy identification on the chart.
Custom Wick Lines: To ensure the wicks stand out, the indicator draws yellow lines above and below the candles, representing the upper and lower wicks. These lines remain fixed in place even as the chart is scaled or moved.
How It Works:
The indicator identifies candles where:
The upper wick is longer than the body by a specified ratio.
The lower wick is longer than the body by the same ratio.
The candle's body size is small compared to the total candle range (less than 30% of the range).
The volume is significantly higher than the 20-period moving average volume, indicating increased market activity.
When these conditions are met, the indicator marks the candle by coloring its body and wicks yellow. Additionally, it draws custom yellow wick lines to visually represent the wick size.
How to Use:
This indicator is designed to highlight potential reversal points or periods of indecision in the market. Traders can use it to spot possible turning points, especially when accompanied by other technical analysis tools such as support/resistance levels or trend indicators.
Customizable Parameters:
Wick to Body Ratio: Controls the sensitivity for detecting large wicks relative to the candle body.
Volume Factor: Adjusts the threshold for identifying candles with significantly higher volume than the moving average.

Custom AO with Open Difference**Custom AO with Open Difference Indicator**
This indicator, *Custom AO with Open Difference*, is designed to help confirm trend direction based on the relationship between the daily open price and recent 4-hour open prices. It calculates the Awesome Oscillator (AO) based on the difference between the daily open price and the average of the previous six 4-hour open prices. This approach provides insight into whether the current open price is significantly diverging from recent short-term opens, which can indicate a trend shift or continuation.
### Technical Analysis and Features
1. **Trend Confirmation**: By comparing the daily open with the mean of six previous 4-hour open prices, this indicator helps identify trends. When the current daily open is below the average of recent opens, the AO value will plot as green, signaling potential upward momentum. Conversely, if the daily open is above the recent average, the histogram will plot red, suggesting possible downward momentum.
2. **Non-Repainting**: Since it relies on completed 4-hour and daily open prices, this indicator does not repaint, ensuring that all values remain fixed after the close of each period. This non-repainting feature makes it suitable for backtesting and reliable for trend confirmation without fear of historical changes.
3. **AO Mean Calculation**: The indicator calculates the average of six previous 4-hour open prices, providing a smoothed value to reduce short-term noise. This helps in identifying meaningful deviations, making the AO values a more stable basis for trend determination than using just the latest 4-hour or daily open.
4. **Histogram for Visual Clarity**: The indicator is displayed as a histogram, making it easy to identify trend changes visually. If the AO bar turns green, it’s a signal that the 4-hour average is below the daily open, suggesting an uptrend or bullish momentum. Red bars indicate that the daily open is above the recent 4-hour averages, potentially signaling a downtrend or bearish momentum.
### Practical Application
The *Custom AO with Open Difference* is a versatile tool for confirming the open price trend without needing complex oscillators or lagging indicators. Traders can use this tool to gauge the market sentiment by observing open price variations and use it as a foundation for decision-making in both short-term and daily timeframes. Its non-repainting nature adds reliability for traders using this indicator as part of a broader trading strategy.
First 5 Minutes Open/Close LinesThis very simple indicator paints lines at the high and low of the first 5m candle of the session. It is primarily intended for big cap NYSE traded stocks with high volume. I wrote this indicator to save me the trouble of manually drawing the lines each day.
The lines drawn at the 5m high/low will remain constant regardless of which timeframe you switch to. In the example screenshot, we are looking at the 1m timeframe. This helps us switch effortlessly between different timeframes to see if a given price movement meets our entry criteria.
In addition to drawing lines at the first 5m high/low, it will optionally paint two zones, one each around the high and low. The boundaries of this zone are configurable and expressed as a percentage of the total movement of the first 5m bar. By default, it is set to 25%.
This indicator is based on the concept that the first 5m bar always has massive volume which helps us infer that price may react around the extremes of that movement. The basic strategy works something like this:
- You identify the high timeframe (HTF) trend direction of the stock
- You wait for the first 5m candle of the session to close
- You wait for price to puncture through the outer boundary of the zone marked by the indicator.
- You enter when price retraces to the high, or low, which marks the midpoint of the punctured zone.
- Only enter long on stocks in a HTF uptrend, and short on stocks in an HTF downtrend.
- Use market structure to identify stop loss and take profit targets

Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar analysisEnhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis Indicator
Overview
This indicator is designed to help traders identify buy and sell pressure, volume changes, and overall trend direction in the market. It combines multiple concepts like price action, volume, and trend analysis, candlestick anaysis to provide a comprehensive view of market dynamics. The visual elements are intuitive, making it suitable for traders at different levels. This indicator works together with Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener which is a screener based of this indicator to make it easier to see Bullish/Bearish pressures and trend across multiple timeframes.
Image below: is the Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis with the Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener indicator both active together.
Key Features
1.Buy/Sell Pressure Identification
Buy Pressure: Calculated based on price movement where the close price is higher than the opening price.
Sell Pressure: Calculated when the closing price is equal to or lower than the opening price.These pressures help you understand whether buyers or sellers are more dominant for each bar.
2.Volume Analysis
Normalized Volume: Volume data is normalized, making it easier to compare volume levels over different periods.
Volume Histogram: The volume is also presented as a histogram for easy visualization, showing whether the current volume is higher or lower compared to the average.
3.Simplified Coloring Option
You can choose to simplify the coloring of bars to reflect the dominant pressure: green for bullish pressure and red for bearish pressure. This makes it visually easier to identify who is in control. When simplified coloring is disabled, the bars' colors will represent the combined effect of buy and sell pressure.
4.Heikin-Ashi Candles for Pressure Calculation
The indicator includes an option to use Heikin-Ashi candles instead of traditional candles to calculate buy and sell pressure. Heikin-Ashi candles are known for smoothing out price action and providing a clearer trend representation.
5.Trend Background Coloring
This feature uses exponential moving averages (EMAs) to determine the trend:
Short-Term EMA vs. Long-Term EMA: When the short-term EMA is above the long-term EMA, the trend is considered bullish, and vice versa.
The background color changes based on the identified trend: green for an uptrend and red for a downtrend. This feature helps visualize the overall market direction at a glance.
6.Signals for Key Price Actions
The indicator plots various symbols to signal important price movements:
Bullish Close (▲): Indicates a strong upward movement where the close price crosses above the open.
Bearish Close (▼): Indicates a downward movement where the close price falls below the open.
Higher High (•): Highlights new highs compared to previous bars, useful for confirming an uptrend.
Lower Low (•): Highlights lower lows compared to previous bars, which can indicate a downtrend or bearish pressure.
Calculations Explained
1.Buy and Sell Pressure Calculation
The buy pressure is determined by the price range (high - low) if the closing price is above the opening price, indicating an increase in value.
The sell pressure is similarly calculated when the closing price is equal to or below the opening price.
The indicator uses the Average True Range (ATR) for normalization. Normalizing helps you compare pressure across different periods, regardless of market volatility.
2.Volume Normalization
Volume Normalization: To make volume comparable across different periods, the indicator normalizes it using the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume over a user-defined length.
Volume Histogram: The histogram provides a clear representation of volume changes compared to the average, making it easier to spot unusual activity that may indicate market shifts.
3.Combined Pressure Calculation
The indicator calculates a combined pressure value by subtracting sell pressure from buy pressure.
When combined pressure is positive, buying is dominant, and when negative, selling is dominant. This helps in visually understanding the ongoing momentum.
4.Trend Calculation
The indicator uses two EMAs to determine the trend:
Short-Term EMA (default 14-period) to capture recent price movements.
Long-Term EMA (default 50-period) to provide a broader trend perspective.
By comparing these EMAs on a higher timeframe, the indicator can identify whether the trend is up or down, making it easier for traders to align their trades with the larger market movement.
Inputs and Customization
The indicator provides several options for customization, allowing you to adjust it to your preferences:
SMA Length: Determines the lookback period for moving averages and volume normalization. A longer length provides more smoothing, whereas a shorter length makes the indicator more responsive.
Buy/Sell/Volume Colors: Customize the colors used to represent buying, selling, and volume to suit your preferences.
Heikin Ashi Option: Toggle between using Heikin Ashi or traditional OHLC (Open-High-Low-Close) candles for pressure calculations.
Trend Timeframe and EMA Periods: You can choose different timeframes and EMA periods for trend analysis to suit your trading strategy.
How to Use This Indicator
Identifying Market Momentum: Use the buy/sell pressure columns to see which side (buyers or sellers) is in control. Positive pressure combined with green color indicates strong buying, while red indicates selling.
Volume Confirmation: Check the volume area plot and histogram. High volume coupled with strong pressure is a sign of conviction, meaning the current move has backing from market participants.
Trend Identification: The trend background color helps identify the overall trend direction. Trade in the direction of the trend (e.g., take long positions during a green background).
Signal Indicators: The plotted symbols like "Bullish Close" and "Bearish Close" provide visual signals of key price actions, useful for timing entry or exit points.
Practical use Example
Scenario: The market is consolidating, and you see alternating green and red bars.
Action: Wait for a consistent sequence of green bars (buy pressure) along with a green background (uptrend) to consider going long, although you can go long without having a green background, the background adds confirmation layer.
Scenario: The market has several bearish closes (red ▼ symbols) accompanied by increasing volume.
Action: This could indicate strong selling pressure. If the background also turns red, it might be a good time to exit long positions or consider shorting.
Higher timeframe pressure and volume: Another way to use the indicator is to check buy/sell volume and pressure of the higher timeframe say weekly or daily or any timeframe you consider higher, once you’ve identified or feel confident in which direction the bar is going along with the full picture of trend, you can go to the lower timeframe and wait for it to sync with the higher timeframe to consider a long or a short. It is also easier to see when markets sync up by also applying the Enhanced Pressure MTF Screener which works in companion to this indicator.
Visual Cues and Interpretation
Combined Pressure Plot: The green and red column plot at the bottom of the chart represents the dominance between buying and selling. Tall green bars signify strong buying, while tall red bars indicate selling dominance.
Trend Background: Helps visualize the overall direction without manually drawing trend lines. When the background turns green, it generally indicates that the shorter-term moving average has crossed above the longer-term average—a sign of a bullish trend.
To Summarize shortly
The Enhanced Buy/Sell Pressure, Volume, and Trend Bar Analysis Indicator is an advanced but simple tool designed to help traders visually understand market dynamics. It combines different aspects of market analysis of candle pressure from buyers and sellers, volume confirmation, and trend identification into a single view, which can assist both new and experienced traders in making informed trading decisions.

Globex time (New York Time)This indicator is designed to highlight and analyze price movements within the Globex session. Primarily geared toward the Globex Trap trading strategy, this tool visually identifies the session's high and low prices, allowing traders to better assess price action during extended hours. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of its features and functionality:
Purpose
The "Globex Time (New York Time)" indicator tracks price levels during the Globex trading session, providing a clear view of overnight market activity. This session, typically running from 6 p.m. ET (18:00) until the following morning at 8:30 a.m. ET, is a critical period where significant market positioning can occur before the regular session opens. In the Globex Trap strategy, the session high and low are essential levels, as price movements around these areas often indicate potential support, resistance, or reversal zones, which traders use to set up entries or exits when the regular trading session begins.
Key Features
Customizable Session Start and End Times
The indicator allows users to specify the exact start and end times of the Globex session in New York time. The default settings are:
Start: 6 p.m. ET (18:00)
End: 8:30 a.m. ET
These settings can be adjusted to align with specific market hours or personal preferences.
Session High and Low Identification
Throughout the defined session, the indicator dynamically calculates and tracks:
Session High: The highest price reached within the session.
Session Low: The lowest price reached within the session.
These levels are essential for the Globex Trap strategy, as price action around them can indicate likely breakout or reversal points when regular trading resumes.
Vertical Lines for Session Start and End
The indicator draws vertical lines at both the session start and end times:
Session Start Line: A solid line marking the exact beginning of the Globex session.
Session End Line: A similar vertical line marking the session’s conclusion.
Both lines are customizable in terms of color and thickness, making it easy to distinguish the session boundaries visually on the chart.
Horizontal Lines for Session High and Low
At the end of the session, the indicator plots horizontal lines representing the Globex session's high and low levels. Users can customize these lines:
Color: Define specific colors for the session high (default: red) and session low (default: green) to easily differentiate them.
Line Style: Options to set the line style (solid, dashed, or dotted) provide flexibility for visual preferences and chart organization.
Automatic Reset for Daily Tracking
To adapt to the next trading day, the indicator resets the session high and low data once the current session ends. This reset prepares it to start tracking new levels at the beginning of the next session without manual intervention.
Practical Application in the Globex Trap Strategy
In the Globex Trap strategy, traders are primarily interested in price behavior around the high and low levels established during the overnight session. Common applications of this indicator for this strategy include:
Breakout Trades: Watching for price to break above the Globex high or below the Globex low, indicating potential momentum in the breakout direction.
Reversal Trades: Monitoring for failed breakouts or traps where price tests and rejects the Globex high or low, suggesting a reversal as liquidity is trapped in these zones.
Support and Resistance Zones: Using the session high and low as key support and resistance levels during the regular trading session, with potential entry or exit points when price approaches these areas.
Additional Configuration Options
Vertical Line Color and Width: Define the color and thickness of the vertical session start and end lines to match your chart’s theme.
Upper and Lower Line Colors and Styles: Customize the appearance of the session high and low horizontal lines by setting color and line style (solid, dashed, or dotted), making it easy to distinguish these critical levels from other chart markings.
Summary
This indicator is a valuable tool for traders implementing the Globex Trap strategy. It visually segments the Globex session and marks essential price levels, helping traders analyze market behavior overnight. Through its customizable options and clear visual representation, it simplifies tracking overnight price activity and identifying strategic levels for potential trade setups during the regular session.
Delivery Volume IndicatorDelivery Volume Indicator
The Delivery Volume Indicator is designed to provide insights into trading volume specifically delivered on a daily basis, scaled in lakhs (hundreds of thousands) for ease of interpretation. This tool can be especially useful for traders looking to monitor delivery-based volume changes and trends, as it helps to distinguish between bullish and bearish volume flows.
Key Features:
Daily Volume in Lakhs: The indicator pulls daily volume data and scales it to lakhs for more readable values.
Bullish/Bearish Color Coding: The indicator color-codes volume columns to reflect market sentiment. Columns are displayed in green when the price closes higher than it opens (bullish) and in red when the price closes lower than it opens (bearish).
Adjustable EMA: A customizable Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is applied to the scaled delivery volume. The EMA line, displayed in blue, helps smooth out volume trends and allows traders to adjust the period for personal strategy alignment.
How to Use:
Observe the delivery volume changes to track market sentiment over time. Increased bullish delivery volume could indicate accumulating interest, while increased bearish delivery volume might suggest distribution.
Utilize the EMA to identify longer-term trends in delivery volume, with shorter EMA periods for quick volume shifts and longer periods for gradual trend changes.
This indicator is ideal for traders seeking volume-based insights that align closely with price action.
On Balance Volume Oscillator of Trading Volume TrendOn Balance Volume Oscillator of Trading Volume Trend
Introduction
This indicator, the "On Balance Volume Oscillator of Trading Volume Trend," is a technical analysis tool designed to provide insights into market momentum and potential trend reversals by combining the On Balance Volume (OBV) and Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicators.
Calculation and Methodology
* OBV Calculation: The indicator first calculates the On Balance Volume, which is a cumulative total of the volume of up days minus the volume of down days. This provides a running tally of buying and selling pressure.
* RSI of OBV: The RSI is then applied to the OBV values to smooth the data and identify overbought or oversold conditions.
* Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): Two EMAs are calculated on the RSI of OBV. A shorter-term EMA (9-period in this case) and a longer-term EMA (100-period) are used to generate signals.
Interpretation and Usage
* EMA Crossovers: When the shorter-term EMA crosses above the longer-term EMA, it suggests increasing bullish momentum. Conversely, a downward crossover indicates weakening bullish momentum or increasing bearish pressure.
* RSI Divergences: Divergences between the price and the indicator can signal potential trend reversals. For example, if the price is making new highs but the indicator is failing to do so, it could be a bearish divergence.
* Overbought/Oversold Conditions: When the RSI of OBV is above 70, it suggests the market may be overbought and a potential correction could be imminent. Conversely, when it is below 30, it suggests the market may be oversold.
Visual Representation
The indicator is plotted on a chart with multiple lines and filled areas:
* Two EMAs: The shorter-term EMA and longer-term EMA are plotted to show the trend of the OBV.
* Filled Areas: The area between the two EMAs is filled with a color to indicate the strength of the trend. The color changes based on whether the shorter-term EMA is above or below the longer-term EMA.
* RSI Bands: Horizontal lines at 30 and 70 mark the overbought and oversold levels for the RSI of OBV.
Summary
The On Balance Volume Oscillator of Trading Volume Trend provides a comprehensive view of market momentum and can be a valuable tool for traders. By combining the OBV and RSI, this indicator helps identify potential trend reversals, overbought and oversold conditions, and the strength of the current trend.
Note: This indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and fundamental analysis to make informed trading decisions.
Volume Bars [jpkxyz]
Multi-Timeframe Volume indicator by @jpkxyz
This script is a Multi-Timeframe Volume Z-Score Indicator. It dynamically calculates /the Z-Score of volume over different timeframes to assess how significantly current
volume deviates from its historical average. The Z-Score is computed for each
timeframe independently and is based on a user-defined lookback period. The
script switches between timeframes automatically, adapting to the chart's current
timeframe using `timeframe.multiplier`.
The Z-Score formula used is: (current volume - mean) / standard deviation, where
mean and standard deviation are calculated over the lookback period.
The indicator highlights periods of "significant" and "massive" volume by comparing
the Z-Score to user-specified thresholds (`zScoreThreshold` for significant volume
and `massiveZScoreThreshold` for massive volume). The script flags buy or sell
conditions based on whether the current close is higher or lower than the open.
Visual cues:
- Dark Green for massive buy volume.
- Red for massive sell volume.
- Green for significant buy volume.
- Orange for significant sell volume.
- Gray for normal volume.
The script also provides customizable alert conditions for detecting significant or massive buy/sell volume events, allowing users to set real-time alerts.
David_candle length with average and candle directionThis indicator,
calculates the difference between the highest and lowest price (High-Low difference) for a specified number of periods and displays it in a table. Here are the functions and details included:
Number of Periods: The user can define the number of periods (e.g., 10) for which the High-Low differences are calculated.
Table Position: The position of the table that displays the results can be selected by the user (top left, top right, bottom left, or bottom right).
High-Low Difference per Candle: For each defined period, the difference between the highest and lowest price of the respective candle is calculated.
Candle Direction: The color of the displayed text in the table changes based on the candle direction:
Green for bullish candles (close price higher than open price).
Red for bearish candles (close price lower than open price).
White for neutral candles (close price equal to open price).
Average: Below the High-Low differences, the average value of the calculated differences is displayed in yellow text.
This indicator is useful for visually analyzing the volatility and movement range within the recent candles by highlighting the average High-Low difference.
VPA Volume Price AverageDescription:
This indicator displays a moving average of volume and its signal line in a separate pane, with conditional highlighting to help interpret buyer and seller pressure. It’s based on two main lines:
Volume Moving Average (red line) : represents the average volume calculated over a configurable number of periods.
Signal Line of the Volume Moving Average (blue line): this is an average of the volume moving average itself, used as a reference for volume trends.
Key Features
Volume Moving Average with Conditional Highlighting:
The volume moving average is plotted as a red line and changes color based on two specific conditions:
The closing price is above its moving average, calculated over a configurable number of periods, indicating a bullish trend.
The volume moving average is greater than the signal line, suggesting an increase in buyer pressure.
When both conditions are met, the volume moving average turns green. If one or both conditions are not met, the line remains red.
Signal Line of the Volume Moving Average:
The signal line is plotted in blue and represents a smoothed version of the volume moving average, useful for identifying long-term volume trends and as a reference for the highlighting condition.
Customizable Periods
The indicator allows you to set the periods for each average to adapt to different timeframes and desired sensitivity:
Period for calculating the volume moving average.
Period for calculating the signal line of the volume moving average.
Period for the price moving average (used in the highlighting condition).
How to Use
This indicator is especially useful for monitoring volume dynamics in detail, with a visual system that highlights conditions of increasing buyer strength when the price is in an uptrend. The green highlight on the volume moving average provides an intuitive signal for identifying potential moments of buyer support.
Try it to gain a clearer and more focused view of volume behavior relative to price movement!

Injected Volume Footprint (IVF)Reading volume footprints to interpret buying and selling pressure involves examining the intensity and timing of buy/sell activity within each candle. Although this IVF indicator does not directly show the sequence of buying and selling events within a single candle (as a true footprint chart would), here’s how you can interpret the volume data presented by IVF to get insights on market pressure:
Step 1: Identifying Strong Pressure
Check Color Intensity:
Darker shades represent higher intensity for both buy and sell volumes.
Look for dark green shades for strong buying pressure and dark red or orange shades for strong selling pressure. This helps you quickly spot candles with a high level of activity on one or both sides.
Check Volume Stacking:
Since buy volumes are above the zero line and sell volumes are below, large differences between the two suggest dominance by one side.
If buy volume is significantly higher (e.g., tall green bar with a small red/yellow bar underneath), buying pressure is dominant. Conversely, if sell volume is larger (tall red/yellow bar with a small green bar above), selling pressure dominates.
Step 2: Interpreting Both Buy and Sell Activity
Simultaneous Pressure:
If you see strong green (buy) and red/yellow (sell) volumes within the same candle, it indicates that there was active trading on both sides during that period.
This scenario might suggest a battle between buyers and sellers—often seen near critical support or resistance levels where both sides are actively defending their positions.
Balance vs. Imbalance:
Balanced Pressure: When buy and sell volumes are similar in size, it indicates a period of indecision or a potential consolidation. This usually happens when neither buyers nor sellers have a clear upper hand.
Imbalanced Pressure: If one side has a much larger volume than the other, it shows a clear dominance. For instance, if green buy volume dominates, it means buyers were willing to absorb sell orders aggressively, suggesting a possible uptrend.
Step 3: Estimating Sequence (Hypothetical)
Although IVF doesn’t provide a direct sequence, you can make educated guesses based on context:
Price Action Context:
If the candle opens and initially moves down but then closes higher (bullish candle), it might indicate that selling pressure came first and buying pressure followed, pushing the price up.
Conversely, if the candle opens and moves up first but closes lower (bearish candle), buying might have started first but was overtaken by selling pressure.
Volume Reaction to Price Levels:
At support levels, if you see strong buy volumes with some sell volumes, it might mean initial selling pressure was absorbed by buyers defending the level.
At resistance levels, if sell volume increases with some buy activity, it may indicate initial buying was met by aggressive selling, potentially reversing the price.
Trend Context:
In an uptrend, strong sell volume within an otherwise bullish candle may indicate profit-taking or the start of a pullback, as sellers try to cap further gains.
In a downtrend, strong buy volume in a bearish candle may indicate potential accumulation or buyers attempting to slow the decline, signaling a possible reversal if the trend weakens.
Conclusion
The IVF indicator doesn’t provide the exact sequence of events within each candle like true footprint data would, but by analyzing the intensity, balance, and context within the price action, you can get a reasonable sense of which side was more aggressive and how both buying and selling pressures interacted.

This indicator is an updated version of the original script by cI8DH, now upgraded to Pine Script v5 with added functionality, including the Volume Multiple feature. The tool is designed for analyzing Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) volume, referred to here as "Effective Volume," which represents the volume impact in alignment with price direction, providing insights into bullish or bearish trends through volume.
Accumulation/Distribution Volume Analysis : The script calculates and visualizes Effective Volume (ADV), helping traders assess volume strength in relation to price action. By factoring in bullish or bearish alignment, Effective Volume highlights points where volume strongly supports price movements.
Volume Multiple Feature for Volume Multiplication : The Volume Multiple setting (default value 2) allows you to set a multiplier to identify bars where Effective Volume exceeds the previous bar’s volume by a specified factor. This feature aids in pinpointing significant shifts in volume intensity, often associated with potential trend changes.
Customizable Aggregation Types : Users can choose from three volume aggregation types:
Simple - Standard SMA (Simple Moving Average) for averaging Effective Volume
Smoothed - RMA (Recursive Moving Average) for a less volatile, smoother line
Cumulative - Accumulated Effective Volume for ongoing trend analysis
Volume Divisor : The “Divide Vol by” setting (default 1 million) scales down the Effective Volume value for easier readability. This allows Effective Volume data to be aligned with the scale of the price chart.
Visualization Elements
Effective Volume Columns : The Effective Volume bar plot changes color based on volume direction:
Green Bars : Bullish Effective Volume (volume aligns with price movement upwards)
Red Bars : Bearish Effective Volume (volume aligns with price movement downwards)
Moving Average Lines :
Volume Moving Average - A gray line representing the moving average of total volume.
A/D Moving Average - A blue line showing the moving average of Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Effective Volume.
High ADV Indicator : A “^” symbol appears on bars where the Effective Volume meets or exceeds the Volume Multiple threshold, highlighting bars with significant volume increase.
How to Use
Analyze Accumulation/Distribution Trends : Use Effective Volume to observe if bullish or bearish volume aligns with price direction, offering insights into the strength and sustainability of trends.
Identify Volume Multipliers with Volume Multiple : Adjust Volume Multiple to track when Effective Volume has notably increased, signaling potential shifts or strengthening trends.
Adjust Volume Display : Use the volume divisor setting to scale Effective Volume for clarity, especially when viewing alongside price data on higher timeframes.
With customizable parameters, this script provides a flexible, enhanced perspective on Effective Volume for traders analyzing volume-based trends and reversals.
Salman Indicator: Multi-Purpose Price ActionSalman Indicator: Multi-Purpose Price Action Tool for Pin Bars, Breakouts, and VWAP Anchoring
This indicator provides a comprehensive suite of price action insights, designed for active traders looking to identify key market structures and potential reversals. The script incorporates a Quarterly VWAP for trend bias, marks pin bars for possible reversal points, highlights outside bars for volatility signals, and indicates simple breakouts and pivot-level breaks. Customizable settings allow for flexibility in various trading styles, with default settings optimized for daily charts.
Outside Bars : Represented by an ⤬ symbol on the chart, these indicate bars where the current high is greater than the previous bar’s high, and the low is lower than the previous bar’s low, signaling high volatility and potential market reversals.
Pin Bars : Denoted by a small dot at the top or bottom of a candle’s wick, these are crucial signals of potential reversal areas. Pin bars are identified based on the percentage length of their shadows, with adjustable strictness in settings.
Quarterly VWAP : The light blue line on the chart represents the VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price), which is anchored to the Quarterly period by default. The VWAP acts as a directional bias filter, helping you to determine underlying market trends. This period, source, and offset are fully adjustable in the script’s settings.
Simple Breaks : Hollow candles on the chart indicate "simple breaks," defined when the current bar closes above the previous high or below the previous low. This is an effective way to highlight directional momentum in the market.
Bonus Pivot Breaks : The tilde symbol ~ appears when the price closes above or below prior pivot high/low levels, helping traders spot significant breakout or breakdown points relative to recent pivots.
Alerts
Simple Breaks : Alerts you when a breakout occurs beyond the previous bar’s high or low. Pin Bars : Notifies you of potential reversal points as indicated by bullish or bearish pin bars. Outside Bars : Triggers an alert whenever an outside bar is detected, indicating possible volatility changes.
How to Use
VWAP for Trend Bias : Use the Quarterly VWAP line to gauge overall market trend, with settings that allow adjustment to daily, weekly, monthly, or even larger time frames.
Pin Bars for Reversal Potential : Look for the dot markers on candle wicks, where the strictness of the pin bar detection can be adjusted via settings to match your trading preference.
Simple and Pivot Breaks for Momentum : Watch for hollow candles and the tilde symbol ~ as indicators of potential breakout momentum and pivot break levels, respectively.
This script can serve traders on multiple timeframes, from daily to weekly and beyond. The flexible configuration allows for adjustments in VWAP anchoring and pin bar criteria, providing a tailored fit for individual trading strategies.
Cumulative Volume Delta Custom AlertDescription
This script calculates and visualizes the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) on multiple timeframes, enabling traders to monitor volume-based price action dynamics. The CVD is calculated based on up and down volume approximations and displayed as a candle plot, with color-coded alerts when significant changes occur.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Analysis: The script uses a customizable anchor period and a lower timeframe for scanning, allowing it to capture more granular volume movements.
Volume-Based Trend Detection: Plots CVD candles with color indicators (teal for increasing volume delta, red for decreasing), helping traders to visually track volume trends.
Dynamic Alerts for Volume Shifts:
Triggers an alert when there is a significant (over 25%) change in CVD between consecutive periods.
The alert marker color adapts based on the current CVD value:
Blue when the current CVD is positive.
Yellow when the current CVD is negative.
Markers are placed above bars for volume increases and below for volume decreases, simplifying visual analysis.
Customizable Background Highlight: Adds a background highlight to emphasize significant CVD changes.
Use Cases:
Momentum Detection: Traders can use alerts on large volume delta changes to identify potential trend reversals or continuation points.
Volume-Driven Analysis: CVD helps distinguish buy and sell pressure across different timeframes, ideal for volume-based strategies.
How to Use
Add the script to your TradingView chart.
Configure the anchor and lower timeframes in the input settings.
Set up alerts to receive notifications when a 25% change in CVD occurs, with color-coded markers for easy identification.
VolWRSI### Description of the `VolWRSI` Script
The `VolWRSI` script is a TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to provide a volume-weighted Relative Strength Index (RSI) combined with abnormal activity detection in both volume and price. This multi-faceted approach aims to enhance trading decisions by identifying potential market conditions influenced by both price movements and trading volume.
#### Key Features
1. **Volume-Weighted RSI Calculation**:
- The core of the script calculates a volume-weighted RSI, which gives more significance to price movements associated with higher volume. This helps traders understand the strength of price movements more accurately.
2. **Abnormal Activity Detection**:
- The script includes calculations for abnormal volume and price changes using standard deviation (SD) multiples. This feature alerts traders to potential unusual activity, which could indicate upcoming volatility or market manipulation.
3. **Market Structure Filtering**:
- The script assesses market structure by identifying pivot highs and lows, allowing for better contextual analysis of price movements. This includes identifying bearish and bullish divergences, which can signal potential reversals.
4. **Color-Coded Signals**:
- The indicator visually represents market conditions using different bar colors for various scenarios, such as bearish divergence, likely price manipulation, and high-risk moves on low volume. This allows traders to quickly assess market conditions at a glance.
5. **Conditional Signal Line**:
- The signal line is displayed only when institutional activity conditions are met, remaining hidden otherwise. This adds an extra layer of filtering to prevent unnecessary signals, focusing only on significant market moves.
6. **Overbought and Oversold Levels**:
- The script defines overbought and oversold thresholds, enhancing the trader's ability to spot potential reversal points. Color gradients help visually distinguish between these critical levels.
7. **Alerts**:
- The script includes customizable alert conditions for various market signals, including abnormal volume spikes and RSI crossings over specific thresholds. This keeps traders informed in real-time, enhancing their ability to act promptly.
#### Benefits of Using the `VolWRSI` Script
- **Enhanced Decision-Making**: By integrating volume into the RSI calculation, the script helps traders make more informed decisions based on the strength of price movements rather than price alone.
- **Early Detection of Market Manipulation**: The abnormal activity detection can help traders identify potentially manipulative market behavior, allowing them to act or adjust their strategies accordingly.
- **Visual Clarity**: The use of color-coding and graphical elements (such as shapes and fills) provides clear visual cues about market conditions, which can be especially beneficial for traders who rely on quick visual assessments.
- **Risk Management**: The identification of high-risk low-volume moves helps traders manage their exposure better, potentially avoiding trades that may lead to unfavorable outcomes.
- **Reduced Noise with Institutional Activity Filtering**: The conditional signal line only plots when institutional activity conditions are detected, providing higher confidence in signals by excluding lower-conviction setups.
- **Customization**: With adjustable parameters for length, thresholds, and colors, traders can tailor the script to their specific trading styles and preferences.
Overall, the `VolWRSI` script combines technical analysis tools in a coherent framework, aiming to provide traders with deeper insights into market dynamics and higher-quality trade signals, potentially leading to more profitable trading decisions.
