Support & Resitance LinesIntroduction:
Support & Resistance levels are time consuming to mark on charts. They also must be maintained. If the user has multiple charts they analyze, this adds to the workload. This indicator attempts to automate that work flow for the user.
Description:
Psychological Support and Resistances
are marked with a horizontal ray and labeled.
Levels marked include the 1 Month, 1 Week, and the Daily.
If a candle closes on the marked levels, the horizontal ray marking that level will disappear.
Volume Based Support and Resistances [/i
With the fixed range volume profile tool, marked levels include the point of control(POC) and the Value Areas (VA). This includes both the Value Area Low (VAL) and the Value Area High (VAH). Levels marked include the 1 Year, 6 Month, and the 1 Month fixed range volume profile.
If a candle closes on the marked levels, the horizontal ray marking that level will disappear.
How to use:
1) Turn on indicator and make sure you are on the 1D time frame.
2) Find areas of high confluence and mark with rectangular box.
3) Once all areas are marked, turn off indicator to save CPU time.
4) It is now ready to use and you can scan the chart using multiple time frames.
Useful Tips:
1) Use this tool to see if these levels marked are respected in forward testing.
2) You can turn off labels and color code horizontal rays to make tool run more efficiently for the CPU.
3) Use RSI, MACD, Wave Trend with Crosses , or any other oscillator to identify divergences once price hits support & resistance. Observe if price reacts.
4) Confluence is key, the higher the confluence, the better.
Montosca's Volume Delta Volume Delta Montosca - Indicator Summary
Volume Delta Montosca is a specialized Pine Script indicator for TradingView designed to analyze buying and selling pressure within each candle. It focuses on identifying high-impact volume events combined with strong directional dominance.
Key Features
1. Volume Delta Visualization
Displays volume bars split into Buy Volume (Blue) and Sell Volume (Red).
Includes centered text labels inside the bars showing the exact percentage of buy and sell volume for clear readability.
2. Signal Generation Logic (Triangles)
The indicator generates Buy (Blue Triangle) and Sell (Red Triangle) signals based on two strict criteria that must be met simultaneously:
Criterion A: Significant Volume (SMA Filter)
The current candle's volume must exceed a dynamic threshold.
This threshold is calculated using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume (e.g., 20 periods) multiplied by a user-defined Adjustment Factor (e.g., 150%).
Example: If the factor is 150%, the volume must be 1.5x higher than the average.
Criterion B: Directional Dominance
The candle must show strong internal conviction.
The Buy Percentage (for long signals) or Sell Percentage (for short signals) must exceed a specific Dominance Threshold (e.g., 70%).
3. Simplified Analysis
Alerts: Integrated alert conditions for both Buy and Sell signals for automated trading or notifications.
NeuraEdge Pro v1- Auto-OptimizedNeuraEdge Pro is an advanced, self-optimizing trading system that combines Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT principles, and adaptive neural networks to identify high-probability trade setups. The indicator automatically learns from its signal history and optimizes parameters in real-time to maintain your target win rate.

Volume Surge AlertVolume is often the fuel behind meaningful price moves. The Volume Surge Alert indicator highlights bars where volume explodes above its recent average, helping you spot accumulation, distribution, and breakout attempts before the price fully reacts.
Calculates a configurable simple moving average of volume to establish “normal” activity.
Flags bars where the current volume exceeds the SMA by a user-defined multiple (default 2×).
Colors the column and background on surge bars for quick visual confirmation.
Provides an alert condition so you can receive notifications the moment activity spikes.
Use it on any timeframe or market to monitor for unusual participation, confirm breakouts, or filter entries. Adjust the SMA length and surge multiple to match your market’s typical liquidity profile.
Previous Period Close & Live VWAP @MaxMaserati 3.0 Previous Period Close & Live VWAP @MaxMaserati 3.0 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════A professional-grade Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) indicator designed for dual-timeframe analysis, providing essential institutional-level insights for day, swing, and institutional traders. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════VWAP ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════VWAP is the Volume Weighted Average Price—the average price adjusted for the volume traded at each price level. It gives higher importance to prices where more transactions occurred.
CALCULATION:
VWAP = Σ(Price × Volume) / Σ(Volume)
WHY IT'S CRITICAL:
It represents the true average price paid by all market participants.
Institutions use it as a benchmark for trade execution quality.
It functions as a dynamic support and resistance level driven by volume.
More reliable than simple moving averages for intraday trading.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
MMM PRO VWAP @MaxMaserati 3.0 Features
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ This indicator displays the closed VWAP level from the previous period alongside a dynamic, live VWAP line for the current period. This setup allows for immediate comparison of current price action relative to the prior period's volume-weighted average.
PREVIOUS PERIOD PRESSURE-BASED COLORING
The color of the previous period's close instantly reveals the dominant pressure:
GREEN: If the VWAP closed HIGHER than it opened, indicating dominant buying volume (Bulls won).
RED: If the VWAP closed LOWER than it opened, indicating dominant selling volume (Bears won).
This provides instant, actionable insight into the market's recent sentiment.
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Trading Applications & Strategy Ideas
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
INTRADAY TRADING (VWAP 1 - Daily)
Bullish Bias: Price trading above the Daily VWAP (look for long setups).
Bearish Bias: Price trading below the Daily VWAP (look for short setups).
The Previous Close VWAP acts as a key support/resistance level.
The previous close color provides immediate daily sentiment.
SWING TRADING (VWAP 2 - Weekly/Monthly)
Use the higher timeframe VWAP (Weekly/Monthly) to establish the major trend direction.
Combine both VWAPs for multi-timeframe confluence and stronger conviction trades.
INSTITUTIONAL INSIGHTS
VWAP is considered the fair value based on volume.
Previous period close levels are crucial institutional zones.
Price often exhibits mean reversion, tending to move back towards the VWAP.
CORE STRATEGY IDEAS:
Buy (Long) when price tests the Daily VWAP from above (support).
Sell (Short) when price tests the Daily VWAP from below (resistance).
Use the previous close color for quick sentiment analysis. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Pro Tips for Enhanced Analysis
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Confluence: The strongest setups occur when price is above both Daily and Monthly VWAP (bullish) or below both (bearish).
Reversion: Extreme deviations from VWAP suggest an imminent return to the mean. Previous close levels act as price magnets.
Trend Confirmation: Consistent price movement above VWAP confirms a strong uptrend; consistent movement below confirms a strong downtrend.
Institutional Focus: The end-of-day VWAP close highlights whether bulls or bears controlled the period. This pressure can often carry over.
Risk Management: Do not trade against the established VWAP bias without strong, independent confirmation. Use previous close levels as stop-loss references. ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Important Notes
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Timeframe Consistency: The VWAP line is timeframe-independent. The Daily VWAP will appear the same on a 1-minute chart as it does on a 4-hour chart.
Previous Close Persistence: The previous period close level remains on the chart until the next period's reset, serving as a critical historical reference point.
Volume Dependency: VWAP's reliability is highest during liquid market hours. Use caution during low-volume periods.
Not a Complete Strategy: This is an indicator tool. Always use it with robust risk management and combine it with your existing analysis methods. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

RayAlgo Flux Velocity & Volume OscillatorThe RayAlgo Oscilator uses a three-step calculation process:
Volume-Weighted Momentum: It starts by calculating price momentum but weights the result by volume. If price moves strongly on low volume, the signal is dampened. If the move is supported by high volume, the signal is amplified. This filters out "fake" moves.
The Fisher Transform: This is the secret sauce. The Fisher Transform converts the volume-weighted data into a Gaussian Normal Distribution. This process forces the data to create sharp, well-defined peaks and valleys, clearly defining statistical extremes (tops and bottoms) that standard oscillators simply blur.
Hull Moving Average (HMA) Smoothing: The final signal is smoothed using the HMA. This provides the fast, liquid, wave-like motion you see, virtually eliminating lag without introducing choppiness.
Ata✨SMAThis Pine Script v6 indicator performs three main functions on a trading chart:
Multiple Moving Averages (MA)
Displays 7 moving averages with fixed lengths (5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 200).
Allows the user to select the MA type: SMA, EMA, WMA, or HMA.
Each MA has a distinct color and line width for clear visual differentiation.
Support and Resistance (S/R) Levels
Identifies key price levels based on pivot points (local highs/lows) within a user‑defined lookback period.
Filters levels by:
Minimum strength (number of touches).
Maximum zone width (as a percentage of price range).
Timeframe (user‑selectable: 5m to monthly).
Visualizes levels as horizontal zones (boxes) colored by type:
Red (res_col) for resistance.
Green (sup_col) for support.
Blue (inch_col) for indecision zones.
Optionally shows a table with level prices, types, and strength percentages.
Includes alert triggers for breakouts (price closing above resistance or below support).
Volume Profile (Side Volumes)
Builds a horizontal volume histogram to the right of the last bar, showing buy/sell volume distribution across price levels.
Highlights the Point of Control (POC) — the price with the highest total volume.
Colors:
Light blue for buy volume.
Light red for sell volume.
Yellow for POC line.
Allows customization of:
Number of bars used for calculation.
Rightward shift of the volume profile.
POC line extension leftward.
Includes tooltips explaining POC and trading scenarios.
Summary:
The script combines trend-following MAs, dynamic S/R zones with alerts, and volume profile analysis into a single indicator for multi‑faceted market structure assessment.
CCI ±100 Price Deviation with SMA & VWAP Trend ColorIndicator Synopsis: CCI ±100 Price Deviation with SMA & VWAP
Purpose:
This indicator combines trend filtering, momentum smoothing, and dynamic price bands to help identify intraday trading opportunities. It’s designed for:
15-minute chart → trend identification
1–2 minute chart → precise entries based on dynamic bands
Components:
SMA of Typical Price (smaTP)
Smooth average of the current bar’s typical price (hlc3).
Acts as a dynamic midpoint for the ±100 deviation bands.
±100 Deviation Bands
Calculated using a modified CCI formula:
Upper = SMA TP + 0.015 × MAD × 100
Lower = SMA TP - 0.015 × MAD × 100
Works as dynamic support/resistance and potential reversal zones.
SMA of CCI length (scaled to price)
Smooths the CCI momentum signal to the price scale.
Acts as a confirmation filter for trade direction near bands.
Optional toggle and customizable color/line width.
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
Optional overlay with trend-based coloring:
Price above VWAP → bullish → green
Price below VWAP → bearish → red
Acts as primary trend filter.
How to Use the Indicator
Step 1: Determine Trend (15-minute chart)
Check VWAP trend:
Price > VWAP → bullish trend → only consider long trades
Price < VWAP → bearish trend → only consider short trades
Confirm with SMA TP slope:
Rising SMA → bullish bias
Falling SMA → bearish bias
This ensures you only trade in the direction of the intraday trend.
Liquidity Sweep & Reversal MapLiquidity Sweep & Reversal Map (LSRM) is a visual tool designed to help traders study how price interacts with key liquidity areas such as daily highs, daily lows, previous-day levels, and potential sweep zones. Its purpose is to map structure, highlight volatility around major reference points, and visualize how price behaves after taking liquidity.
This indicator does not attempt to predict market direction. It simply identifies conditions where price has interacted with a known reference level and marks that interaction for user analysis.
🔍 What This Indicator Shows
1. Key Liquidity Reference Levels
The script automatically draws and updates the following levels:
TH — Today’s High
TL — Today’s Low
PDH — Previous Day High
PDL — Previous Day Low
These levels are widely monitored by many traders and can be helpful when studying liquidity behavior and intraday volatility.
2. Liquidity Sweeps
A liquidity sweep occurs when:
Price briefly moves beyond a major high or low
And then closes back within the prior range
The indicator marks detected sweep interactions with:
BS (Bullish Sweep) when liquidity is taken below a low
SS (Bearish Sweep) when liquidity is taken above a high
A sweep only appears after the bar has closed, helping users analyze completed price structure.
3. Optional Sweep Zones
When enabled, the tool draws a shaded zone between:
The swept wick
The reference level
This can help highlight areas where liquidity was taken.
4. Volume & Candle Filters
The indicator includes optional filters such as:
Relative volume spikes
Strong candle body requirement
These filters are provided only to refine the visual highlight of sweeps; they do not constitute trading signals.
🎛 Customization
Users can configure:
Instrument presets
Sweep buffers
Volume sensitivity
Line visibility and thickness
Label display
Zone visibility
All settings are optional and intended for chart annotation only.
⚠️ Important Notes
This tool is not a trading system, signal generator, or strategy.
It does not provide buy/sell advice or predict future price movement.
All markings are visual aids for chart study and structural analysis only.
Users should rely on their own judgment and independent analysis when making trading decisions.
High Volume Bars (Advanced)High Volume Bars (Advanced)
High Volume Bars (Advanced) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that highlights bars with unusually high volume, with several ways to define “unusual”:
Classic: volume > moving average + N × standard deviation
Change-based: large change in volume vs previous bar
Z-score: statistically extreme volume values
Robust mode (optional): median + MAD, less sensitive to outliers
It can:
Recolor candles when volume is high
Optionally highlight the background
Optionally plot volume bands (center ± spread × multiplier)
⸻
1. How it works
At each bar the script:
Picks the volume source:
If Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar? is off → uses raw volume
If on → uses abs(volume - volume )
Computes baseline statistics over the chosen source:
Lookback bars
Moving average (SMA or EMA)
Standard deviation
Optionally replaces mean/std with robust stats:
Center = median (50th percentile)
Spread = MAD (median absolute deviation, scaled to approx σ)
Builds bands:
upper = center + spread * multiplier
lower = max(center - spread * multiplier, 0)
Flags a bar as “high volume” if:
It passes the mode logic:
Classic abs: volume > upper
Change mode: abs(volume - volume ) > upper
Z-score mode: z-score ≥ multiplier
AND the relative filter (optional): volume > average_volume * Min Volume vs Avg
AND it is past the first Skip First N Bars from the start of the chart
Colors the bar and (optionally) the background accordingly.
⸻
2. Inputs
2.1. Statistics
Lookback (len)
Number of bars used to compute the baseline stats (mean / median, std / MAD).
Typical values: 50–200.
StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier (mult)
How far from the baseline a bar must be to count as “high volume”.
In classic mode: volume > mean + mult × std
In z-score mode: z ≥ mult
Typical values: 1.0–2.5.
Use EMA Instead of SMA? (smooth_with_ema)
Off → uses SMA (slower but smoother).
On → uses EMA (reacts faster to recent changes).
Use Robust Stats (Median & MAD)? (use_robust)
Off → mean + standard deviation
On → median + MAD (less sensitive to a few insane spikes)
Useful for assets with occasional volume blow-ups.
⸻
2.2. Detection Mode
These inputs control how “unusual” is defined.
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar? (mode_change)
• Off (default) → uses absolute volume.
• On → uses abs(volume - volume ).
You then detect jumps in volume rather than absolute size.
Note: This is ignored if Z-Score mode is switched on (see below).
• Use Z-Score on Volume? (Overrides change) (mode_zscore)
• Off → high volume when raw value exceeds the upper band.
• On → computes z-score = (value − center) / spread and flags a bar as high when z ≥ multiplier.
Z-score mode can be combined with robust stats for more stable thresholds.
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter) (min_rel_mult)
An extra filter to ignore tiny-volume bars that are statistically “weird” but not meaningful.
• 0.0 → no filter (all stats-based candidates allowed).
• 1.0 → high-volume bar must also be at least equal to average volume.
• 1.5 → bar must be ≥ 1.5 × average volume.
• Skip First N Bars (from start of chart) (skip_open_bars)
Skips the first N bars of the chart when evaluating high-volume conditions.
This is mostly a safety / cosmetic option to avoid weird behavior on very early bars or backfill.
⸻
2.3. Visuals
• Show Volume Bands? (show_bands)
• If on, plots:
• Upper band (upper)
• Lower band (lower)
• Center line (vol_center)
These are plotted on the same pane as the script (usually the price chart).
• Also Highlight Background? (use_bg)
• If on, fills the background on high-volume bars with High-Vol Background.
• High-Vol Bar Transparency (0–100) (bar_transp)
Controls the opacity of the high-volume bar colors (up / down).
• 0 → fully opaque
• 100 → fully transparent (no visible effect)
• Up Color (upColor) / Down Color (dnColor)
• Regular bar colors (non high-volume) for up and down bars.
• Up High-Vol Base Color (upHighVolBase) / Down High-Vol Base Color (dnHighVolBase)
Base colors used for high-volume up/down bars. Transparency is applied on top of these via bar_transp.
• High-Vol Background (bgHighVolColor)
Background color used when Also Highlight Background? is enabled.
⸻
3. What gets colored and how
• Bar color (barcolor)
• Up bar:
• High volume → Up High-Vol Color
• Normal volume → Up Color
• Down bar:
• High volume → Down High-Vol Color
• Normal volume → Down Color
• Flat bar → neutral gray
• Background color (bgcolor)
• If Also Highlight Background? is on, high-volume bars get High-Vol Background.
• Otherwise, background is unchanged.
⸻
4. Alerts
The indicator exposes three alert conditions:
• High Volume Bar
Triggers whenever is_high is true (up or down).
• High Volume Up Bar
Triggers only when is_high is true and the bar closed up (close > open).
• High Volume Down Bar
Triggers only when is_high is true and the bar closed down (close < open).
You can use these in TradingView’s “Create Alert” dialog to:
• Get notified of potential breakout / exhaustion bars.
• Trigger webhook events for bots / custom infra.
⸻
5. Recommended presets
5.1. “Classic” high-volume detector (closest to original)
• Lookback: 150–200
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.0–1.5
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: off
• Use Robust Stats?: off
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: off
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: off
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.0–1.0
Behavior: Flags bars whose volume is notably above the recent average (plus a bit of noise filtering), same spirit as your initial implementation.
⸻
5.2. Volatility-aware (Z-score) mode
• Lookback: 100–200
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.5–2.0
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: on
• Use Robust Stats?: on (if asset has huge spikes)
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: off (ignored anyway in z-score mode)
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: on
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.5–1.0
Behavior: Flags bars that are “statistically extreme” relative to recent volume behavior, not just absolutely large. Good for assets where baseline volume drifts over time.
⸻
5.3. “Wake-up bar” (volume acceleration)
• Lookback: 50–100
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.0–1.5
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: on
• Use Robust Stats?: optional
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: on
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: off
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.5–1.0
Behavior: Emphasis on sudden increases in volume rather than absolute size – useful to catch “first active bar” after a quiet period.
⸻
6. Limitations / notes
• Time-of-day effects
The script currently treats the entire chart as one continuous “session”. On 24/7 markets (crypto) this is fine. For regular-session assets (equities, futures), volume naturally spikes at open/close; you may want to:
• Use a shorter Lookback, or
• Add a session-aware filter in a future iteration.
• Illiquid symbols
On very low-liquidity symbols, robust stats (Use Robust Stats) and a non-zero Min Volume vs Avg can help avoid “everything looks extreme” problems.
• Overlay behavior
overlay = true means:
• Bars are recolored on the price pane.
• Volume bands are also drawn on the price pane if enabled.
If you want a dedicated panel for the bands, duplicate the logic in a separate script with overlay = false.
Delta Volume RSI1. Introduction
The Delta Volume RSI (Relative Strength Index based on Volume Delta) indicator provides a unique perspective on market momentum by analyzing the average gains and losses of the volume delta —the difference between buying and selling volume—over a specified period. Unlike traditional RSI, which focuses on price changes, this indicator evaluates shifts in market participation intensity, helping traders detect periods of accumulation and distribution through volume action.
2. Key Features
- Volume-Based Calculation: Computes RSI using the average gains and losses of delta volume rather than price changes, offering insights into buying/selling pressure.
- Dynamic Color Coding: Paints the indicator line green when above the 50 level, and red when below, enabling quick visual identification of momentum shifts around neutrality.
- Reference Levels: Clearly displays overbought (70), neutral (50), and oversold (30) lines for context on volume-driven market extremes.
- Customizable Period: Users can set the period for RSI calculation to fit their trading style and timeframe preferences.
3. How to Use
1. Interpret Colors: The indicator line turns green when volume delta momentum is bullish (above 50) and red when bearish (below 50). Overbought and oversold zones (above 70 or below 30) may highlight exhaustion in volume-driven pushes.
2. Adjustment: Modify the RSI period in the settings to tailor responsiveness.
3. Reference Line: Use the dashed gray line at 50 as a core threshold for detecting transitions between buyer and seller dominance.
How It Differs From Standard RSI
The standard RSI uses changes in closing price to calculate market momentum. In contrast, this indicator calculates RSI using the average gains and losses of the delta volume , capturing underlying shifts in buying and selling activity—even when price is flat. This makes the Delta Volume RSI especially useful for identifying divergence between volume flow and price movement, potentially signaling strong accumulation/distribution or market reversals not visible on price-based RSI alone.
Volume Heatmap CandlesThis indicator colors each candle based on its relative volume, using a user-defined color gradient for up bars and down bars. Higher-volume candles are shown in deeper shades, while low-volume candles appear lighter. This creates an immediate visual heatmap of market participation, helping traders quickly spot strong moves, weak moves, breakouts, and volume spikes—directly on the price chart without needing to check the volume panel.
Liquidity Void Zone Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Void Zone Detector
Version: PineScript™v6
📌 Description
The Liquidity Void Zone Detector is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify and visualize areas where price moved with abnormally low volume or rapid momentum, creating "voids" in market liquidity. These zones represent areas where insufficient trading activity occurred during price movement, often acting as magnets for future price action as the market seeks to fill these gaps.
Built on PineScript v6, this indicator employs a dual-detection methodology that analyzes both volume depletion patterns and price movement intensity relative to ATR. The revolutionary 3D visualization system uses three-layer polyline rendering with adaptive transparency and vertical offsets, creating genuine depth perception where low liquidity zones visually recede and high liquidity zones protrude forward. This makes critical market structure immediately apparent without cluttering your chart.

Compact Labeling: Optional tiny circular labels with 60% transparent backgrounds positioned at void center points for quick reference
📖 Usage Guidelines
Detection Settings
Lookback Period: Default: 10 | Range: 5-100 | Number of bars analyzed for volume averaging and void detection. Lower values increase sensitivity to recent changes; higher values smooth detection across longer timeframes. Adjust based on your trading timeframe: short-term traders use 5-15, swing traders use 20-50, position traders use 50-100.
Volume Threshold: Default: 1.0 | Range: 0.1-2.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier applied to average volume. Bars with volume below (average × threshold) trigger void conditions. Lower values detect only extreme volume depletion; higher values capture more moderate low-volume situations. Start with 1.0 and decrease to 0.5-0.7 for stricter detection.
Price Movement Sensitivity: Default: 1.5 | Range: 0.5-5.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier for ATR-normalized price movement detection. Values above this threshold indicate rapid price changes suggesting liquidity voids. Increase to 2.0-3.0 for volatile instruments; decrease to 0.8-1.2 for ranging or low-volatility conditions.
Minimum Void Bars: Default: 10 | Range: 1-10 | Minimum consecutive bars exhibiting void conditions required before visualization is created. Filters out brief anomalies and ensures only sustained voids are displayed. Use 1-3 for scalping, 5-10 for intraday trading, 10+ for swing trading to match your time horizon.
Visual Settings
Low Liquidity Color: Default: Red (80% transparent) | Base color for zones where volume depletion or rapid movement indicates thin liquidity. These zones recede visually (back layer most transparent). Choose colors that contrast with your chart theme for optimal visibility.
High Liquidity Color: Default: Green (80% transparent) | Base color for zones with relatively higher liquidity compared to void threshold. These zones protrude visually (front layer most transparent). Ensure clear differentiation from low liquidity color.
Show Void Labels: Default: True | Toggle display of compact LV/HV labels at void centers. Disable for cleaner charts when trading; enable for analysis and review to quickly identify void types across your chart.
Max Visible Voids: Default: 50 | Range: 10-100 | Maximum number of void visualizations kept on chart. Each void uses 3 polylines, so setting of 50 maintains 150 total polylines. Higher values preserve more history but may impact performance on lower-end systems.
✅ Best Use Cases
Gap Fill Trading: Identify unfilled liquidity voids that price frequently returns to, providing high-probability retest and reversal opportunities when price approaches these zones
Breakout Validation: Distinguish genuine breakouts through established liquidity from false breaks into void zones that lack sustainable volume support
Support/Resistance Confluence: Layer void detection over key horizontal levels to validate structural integrity—levels within high liquidity zones are stronger than those in voids
Trend Continuation: Monitor for new void formation in trend direction as potential continuation zones where price may accelerate due to reduced resistance
Range Trading: Identify void zones within consolidation ranges that price tends to traverse quickly, helping to avoid getting caught in rapid moves through thin areas
Entry Timing: Wait for price to reach void boundaries rather than entering mid-void, as voids tend to be traversed quickly with limited profit-taking opportunities
⚠️ Limitations
Historical Pattern Indicator: Identifies past liquidity voids but cannot predict whether price will return to fill them or when filling might occur
No Volume on Forex: Indicator uses tick volume for forex pairs, which approximates but doesn't represent true trading volume, potentially affecting detection accuracy
Lagging Confirmation: Requires minimum consecutive bars (default 10) before void is visualized, meaning detection occurs after void formation begins
Trending Market Behavior: Strong trends driven by fundamental catalysts may create voids that remain unfilled for extended periods or permanently
Timeframe Dependency: Detection sensitivity varies significantly across timeframes; settings optimized for one timeframe may not perform well on others
No Directional Bias: Indicator identifies liquidity characteristics but provides no predictive signal for price direction after void detection
Performance Considerations: Higher max visible void settings combined with small minimum void bars can generate numerous visualizations impacting chart rendering speed
💡 What Makes This Unique
Industry-First 3D Visualization: Unlike flat volume or liquidity indicators, the three-layer rendering with directional depth perception provides instant visual hierarchy of liquidity quality
Dual-Mode Detection: Combines both volume-based and movement-based detection methodologies, capturing voids that single-approach indicators miss
Intelligent Qualification System: State machine logic prevents premature visualization by requiring sustained void conditions, reducing false signals and chart clutter
ATR-Normalized Analysis: All detection thresholds adapt to instrument volatility, ensuring consistent performance across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures without constant recalibration
Transparency-Based Depth: Uses progressive transparency gradients rather than colors or patterns to create depth, maintaining visual clarity while conveying information hierarchy
Comprehensive Strength Metrics: 0-100 void strength calculation considers both the degree of volume depletion and the magnitude of price movement for nuanced zone characterization
🔬 How It Works
Phase 1: Real-Time Detection
On each bar close, the indicator calculates average volume over the lookback period and compares current bar volume against the volume threshold multiplier
Simultaneously measures current bar's high-low range and normalizes it against ATR, comparing the result to price movement sensitivity parameter
If either volume falls below threshold OR movement exceeds sensitivity threshold, the bar is flagged as exhibiting void characteristics
Phase 2: Void Tracking & Qualification
When void conditions first appear, state machine initializes tracking variables: start bar index, initial top/bottom prices, consecutive bar counter, and cumulative strength accumulator
Each subsequent bar with void conditions extends the tracking, updating price boundaries to envelope all bars and accumulating strength scores
When void conditions cease, system checks if consecutive bar count meets minimum threshold; if yes, proceeds to visualization; if no, discards the tracking and resets
Phase 3: 3D Visualization Construction
Calculates average void strength by dividing cumulative strength by number of bars, then determines if void is low liquidity (>50 strength) or high liquidity (≤50 strength)
Generates three polyline layers spanning from start bar to end bar and from top price to bottom price, each with calculated vertical offset based on ATR
Applies progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) with layer ordering creating recession effect for low liquidity zones and protrusion effect for high liquidity zones
Creates optional center label and pushes all visual elements into arrays for memory management
Phase 4: Memory Management & Display
Continuously monitors polyline array size (each void creates 3 polylines); when total exceeds max visible voids × 3, deletes oldest polylines via array.shift()
Similarly manages label array, removing oldest labels when count exceeds maximum to prevent memory accumulation over extended chart history
Plots diagnostic data to TradingView’s data window (void detection binary, current strength, average volume) for detailed analysis without cluttering main chart
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed to enhance your market structure analysis by revealing liquidity characteristics that aren’t visible through standard price and volume displays. For best results, combine void detection with your existing support/resistance analysis, trend identification, and risk management framework. Liquidity voids are descriptive of past market behavior and should inform positioning decisions rather than serve as standalone entry/exit signals. Experiment with detection parameters across different timeframes to find settings that align with your trading style and instrument characteristics.
KJS -- Max Volume CandleKJS — Max Volume Candle
Identifies and highlights the highest-volume candle relative to all candles to its left on the chart.

VWAP TrendSignalVWAP TrendSignal
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) is the market’s true fair value — the benchmark institutions use to see when price is balanced, extended, or trending with real intent.
Price often snaps back when it moves too far (mean reversion), and only shows genuine strength when it holds above or below VWAP.
VWAP TrendSignal makes this insight effortless by color-coding VWAP direction:
Yellow = VWAP rising → bullish pressure
Red = VWAP falling → bearish pressure
No bands. No noise. Just pure directional clarity.
Anchor VWAP to the Session, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year, and tailor the Slope Smoothing Filter to your timeframe:
1–2 smoothing → fast & reactive (1–5m scalping)
3–5 smoothing → clean & stable (5–15m intraday)
6–10 smoothing → slow flips (1H–4H swings)
10–15 smoothing → macro bias only (Daily/Weekly)
The line adapts to how you trade.
How to Use It
Mean Reversion
When price stretches far from VWAP, expect pullbacks or snapbacks.
Trend Direction
Yellow supports long bias, red supports short bias.
Simple, reliable, instantly visible.
Balance Zones
Price sitting near VWAP = compression, buildup, or chop.
A perfect signal to wait or prepare for a breakout.
Why It Works
VWAP TrendSignal distills institutional logic into a clean, single-line tool.
It shows fair value, trend slope, and balance all at once — making your chart clearer and your decisions faster.
Once you get used to reading it, trading without it feels blind.
WaveLab GOLD Study**Description**
`WaveLab GOLD Study – Liquidity & Structure` is an educational chart study that visualizes market structure, liquidity context and confluence.
It is not a trading system and does not generate trade instructions or orders.
**Main Components**
* **Liquidity Engine** – Builds demand/supply-style boxes around strong breaks of structure, high-volume candles and optional FVG conditions.
When price revisits a strong box, the study can plot bar markers:
`B` below the bar for bullish context, `S` above the bar for bearish context.
* **Trend & LR / MTF Context** – Optional EMAs, Donchian, VWAP and a Linear Regression slope with simple angle classification (`strong up / flat / strong down`), plus multi-timeframe RSI to show broader directional background.
* **Price Action Layer** – Detects a small set of classic bar patterns (engulfing, hammer / shooting star, inside / outside bar) and summarizes them into a qualitative bias (bullish, bearish, inside, outside, neutral).
* **Dashboard** – Compact table that displays price, short-term momentum, trend state, PA status, liquidity context and the current B/S confluence marker.
**How to Use (Educational)**
1. Start from liquidity boxes to see where reactions cluster.
2. Add trend, LR and MTF context to understand whether price is moving with or against the broader environment.
3. Use B/S markers and the dashboard only as visual summaries to review bars and build a discretionary framework; they are not entry or exit signals.

Candle Volume CoreIA VolCore — Candle Volume Core
Indicator Overview
IA VolCore is an intra‑candle volume analysis tool that shows where the core traded volume is concentrated inside each candle.
It visualizes how buyers and sellers interacted within the bar and highlights key levels and zones where the highest activity takes place.
How Calculations Work
The indicator uses the lowest available timeframe data to calculate volume distribution inside each candle.
If you have a Premium or higher subscription, VolCore uses second‑based data for the most accurate results. Older candles (where second‑data is no longer available due to platform limits) are calculated using minute data. The indicator can therefore be used on any timeframe from 1 minute and higher.
If you do not have Premium, the indicator uses minute‑based data only, so it is recommended to use it from the daily timeframe and above.
Example of Calculation
If the chart timeframe is 1 hour and the lowest available timeframe is 1‑second data, the indicator loads 3600 1‑second candles. Each 1‑second candle has a known volume, which is evenly distributed across its own price range.
The 1‑hour candle is then divided into a number of price ranges based on the Candle Volume Resolution parameter. The volumes of all 3600 1-second candles are then aggregated into the corresponding price ranges of the hourly candle.
The final result is a detailed intra‑candle volume map for the entire hour — calculated using the most precise data available.
Custom Timeframe Parameter
If Use Custom Timeframe is enabled and a timeframe is selected, all calculations will be performed strictly using this specified timeframe.
For example: if the chart is on 1D, the user has 1‑second data available, but Custom TF is set to 1 minute, then the volume distribution inside each daily candle will be calculated using 1‑minute candles.
Key Features
Candle Volume Resolution — defines how many price ranges each candle is divided into (3–50,000). All calculations in the indicator are based on this resolution.
Max Volume Level — displays the price level inside the candle where the maximum volume occurred.
% of Volume (1, 2, 3) — defines percentages of the candle's total volume (e.g., 33%, 66%, 50%). For each percentage, VolCore finds the minimum price range containing that share of volume. You can view the corresponding volume values for these shares in histogram form via the Show: Vol % 1–3 parameters. The actual intra-candle zones are displayed using the Show area option.
Volume % for Density — sets the volume percentage used to calculate Vol Density, which reflects how concentrated the volume is inside the selected price range.
Display Parameters (Show)
Show: Vol % 1–3 — shows histograms of volume share zones based on the selected "% of Volume" parameters (with color logic applied).
Show: Max Volume Value — displays the maximum internal volume value for each candle as a histogram (with color logic applied).
Show: Volume — displays the candle's total volume (with color logic applied).
Show: Vol Density — shows the density of volume distribution inside the candle for the selected volume percentage (with color logic applied).
Example Use Cases (not a complete list)
IA VolCore shows where liquidity forms inside each candle, how volume is distributed, and how concentrated trading activity is.
Detecting False Breakouts
If a breakout candle shows increased volume, and after the breakout the core volume forms beyond the level, but the price moves back — VolCore provides a strong signal of a false breakout.
Examples:
Identifying Support & Resistance Zones
If Max Volume Level repeatedly forms in the same internal range over multiple candles, this indicates a hidden support or resistance level.
Example:
Who This Indicator Is For
For traders using volume‑based and contextual market analysis, and for IA (Initiative Analysis) ecosystem users who want a deeper understanding of intra‑candle structure.
Histogram Color Logic
IA VolCore uses three color shades to highlight volume behavior relative to previous candles:
light shade — normal volume, no significant change,
medium shade — volume exceeds both previous candles,
dark shade — volume exceeds the sum of the previous two candles.
This helps quickly spot growing activity and potential shifts in market pressure.
Style Settings
Line styles, histogram styles, and colors can be customized in the indicator’s Style tab.
