LevelUp^ AlphaLevelUp Alpha is a collection of tools designed in collaboration with Brian Shannon, CMT, creator of the anchored VWAP (AVWAP) and the author of two best-selling books on technical analysis. This indicator is focused on tools and techniques that Brian uses in both his analysis and trading.
LevelUp Alpha Goals
One primary goal of LevelUp Alpha was to create an indicator with tools and visuals that mimic Brian's preferred chart layouts. For example, the default lengths/colors for AVWAP, 5-day moving average and vertical lines where moving averages begin, are all aligned with Brian's approach to technical analysis. Through this educational process, one can learn how to effectively use AVWAP and other intraday tools to properly manage trades and adhere to sound risk management principles. At any point, the indicator can be customized to match one's preferred layout, colors and trading style.
Trend Alignment - Multiple Timeframe Analysis
As trend followers, we look for stocks in an established uptrend. This starts with reviewing stocks on weekly and/or daily charts. From there, we focus on lower timeframes using intraday charts, with the objective to verify alignment between the timeframes.
Important Note: The majority of tools in LevelUp Alpha are for lower timeframes (intraday) analysis as this is where potential trade setups, entries and exits (stops) are often determined.
Key Features:
▪ AVWAP auto-anchored on 1-day, 2-day, week-to-date and month-to-date (for intraday charts).
▪ AVWAP works with any exchange around the globe, respecting trading days, hours and holidays.
▪ AVWAP works with the TradingView Replay feature, facilitating historical and post-mortem analysis.
▪ 5-day moving average auto-calculated based on the chart timeframe.
▪ 5-day moving average auto-adjusts the minutes in the trading day for crypto and futures.
▪ View up to three daily moving averages on intraday charts, including optional price data.
▪ Anticipate moving average direction based on vertical lines placed at the first bar for each moving average.
▪ Pivot points, aka floor trader pivots or support/resistance levels (R1/S1, R2/S2, etc).
▪ Highlight current and prior day highs/lows with line and price data as these are areas of potential support and resistance.
▪ Table of stats for AVWAP, current and prior day highs/lows, and pivot point price levels, helpful for entries, exits and stops.
▪ Custom alerts for all AVWAPs and pivot points.
AVWAP
The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is the cumulative average price a stock traded for one day. AVWAP is the same as the VWAP with the exception that the start point (the anchor) is configurable based on a trader's preference, not simply the start of the trading day. From the anchor point forward, on each bar, AVWAP is calculated based on the cumulative volume and average price.
The AVWAP shows the relationship between price and volume over any time period based on the anchor point. At a glance we can see who is in control, the buyers (bulls) or the sellers (bears).
AVWAP Concepts:
▪ When a stock is above an advancing AVWAP, buyers are in control for that timeframe, as the average price is increasing.
▪ When prices are below a declining AVWAP, sellers are in control for that timeframe, as the average price is declining.
▪ When prices oscillate above and below the AVWAP it indicates indecision for that timeframe.
What's unique about AVWAP in this indicator is that it is auto-anchored on 1-day, 2-day, week-to-date and month-to-date. In addition, LevelUp Alpha supports any exchange around the globe, respecting trading days, hours and holidays. You can also use the TradingView replay feature with this indicator, a powerful tool for historical and post-mortem analysis.
AVWAP Auto-Anchor: 1-day, 2-day, week-to-date and month-to-date
AVWAP and TradingView Replay: Review Historical Data and Past Trades
Saudi Exchange (Tadāwul): Trading Days, Sunday to Thursday, 10:00am to 3:00pm
Auto-Anchor: Detects Trading Days
London Stock Exchange (LSE): Trading Days, Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm
Auto-Anchor: Detects U.K. Bank Holiday
5-Day Moving Average
When using AVWAP, we look for stocks where the trend of the 50-SMA is higher. We follow this by reviewing lower timeframes (intraday charts) to see if the price action is setting up for a low risk trade by verifying the shorter timeframes align with the longer. As we look at various timeframes, we need to make sure the moving average is consistent across the timeframes, which is done via the 5-day moving average as explained by Brian:
"If you want to see a five DAY moving average on a chart with 10 minute candles, you have to consider how many 10 minute periods of trading there are in the trading day. The US equities markets are open from 9:30- 4:00 each day, which is 6.5 hours per trading day. In each hour of trading, there are 6-10 minute periods, so during the regular session for equities, the market is open for 390 minutes or 39-10 minute periods per day. If we are to get a five day moving average, we would take the 39-10 minute periods the market is open each day and then multiply that by five days. 39 x 5 = 195. So a 5 DAY moving average is represented by a 195 PERIOD moving average when looking at a 10 minute timeframe."
In LevelUp Alpha, the default value for the minutes per day is 390, the number of minutes in one trading day in the U.S. This value can be changed to match any exchange. For example, if trading the India National Stock Exchange (NSE), which is open from 9:30am to 3:30pm, the minutes per day would be set to 375.
As trend followers, our goal is to find stocks where the 5-day moving average is trending up.
5-Day Moving Average Trending Up
When viewing charts of crypto or futures, the minutes per trading day will be auto-adjusted as follows:
• Crypto: 1440 minutes per day based on 24 hrs per day.
• Futures: 1380 minutes per day based on 23 hrs per day - S&P 500 E-mini Futures (ES1!) & NASDAQ 100 E-mini Futures (NS1!)
Important Note: Based on the math as described above using the minutes in the trading day, there will be chart timeframes where the 5-day moving average is not shown. If you have the 5-day moving average enabled from within the indicator Settings, yet the 5-day line is not visible, try changing to another timeframe.
Moving Averages
There are three configurable daily moving averages, including the option to use simple or exponential calculations. These daily moving averages can be viewed on intraday charts as they can often act as areas of support or resistance. There is also an option to smooth the daily moving average when they are shown on an intraday chart.
Daily 10-SMA on Intraday Chart - Acting as Support
Auto-smoothing feature is off.
Daily 20-SMA on Intraday Chart - Acting as Support
Auto-smoothing feature is on.
Vertical Lines - Anticipating Direction
By placing vertical lines at the starting bar where a moving average calculation begins, one can anticipate the direction of the moving average by viewing the trend of the bars that will fall off the moving average as new bars are added. This can be helpful to gauge if the trend will continue in its current trajectory or begin to move in a different direction.

Pivot Points
Pivot points are intraday price levels that may act as areas of support or resistance. These pivot points were initially created by floor traders operating within the trading pits of the equity futures exchange in Chicago.
The calculations for determining these pivots are based on the prior days high, low and close:
Pivot (P) = (prevHigh + prevLow + prevClose) / 3
Resistance R1 = (2 * P) - prevLow
Support S1 = (2 * P) - prevHigh
Resistance R2 = P + (prevHigh - prevLow)
Support S2 = P - (prevHigh - prevLow)
Resistance R3 = prevHigh + (2 * (pivot - prevLow))
Support S3 = prevLow - (2 * (prevHigh - pivot))
R1 Acting as Resistance
S2 Acting as Support
Prior Day High and Low
With LevelUp Alpha you can show horizontal lines at both the prior day high and low values. This makes it easy to visualize the prior day's trading range in anticipation of potential areas of support or resistance. These area can also be potential points for entering, exiting or profit taking.
Current Day High and Low
In a similar manner to prior day high and low values, you can also view the current day high and low. Notice in the chart below that you can easily see inside days and watch the price action in real-time.
Tables for AVWAP and Pivot Stats
To make it easy to quickly determine potential entries, exits and stops, as well as areas of support or resistance, key values can be shown in a table. The table contents are configurable, with options to include: AVWAP, current day and prior day highs/lows as well as pivot points.

Volume Candles By Anil ChawraHow Users Can Make Profit Using This Script:
1. Volume Representation : Each candle on the chart represents a specific time period (e.g., 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day) and includes information about both price movement and trading volume during that period.
2. Candlestick Anatomy : A volume candle has the same components as a regular candlestick: the body (which represents the opening and closing prices) and the wicks or shadows (which indicate the highest and lowest prices reached during the period).
3. Volume Bars : Instead of just the candlestick itself, volume candles also include a bar or histogram representing the trading volume during that period. The height or length of the volume bar indicates the amount of trading activity.
4. Interpreting Volume : High volume candles typically indicate increased market interest or activity during that period. This could be due to significant buying or selling pressure.
5. Confirmation : Traders often look for confirmation from other technical indicators or price action to validate the significance of a high volume candle. For example, a high volume candle breaking through a key support or resistance level may signal a strong market move.
6. Trend Strength : Volume candles can provide insights into the strength of a trend. A series of high volume candles in the direction of the trend suggests strong momentum, while decreasing volume may indicate weakening momentum or a potential reversal.
7. Volume Patterns : Traders also analyze volume patterns, such as volume spikes or divergences, to identify potential trading opportunities or reversals.
8. Combination with Price Action: Volume analysis is often used in conjunction with price action analysis and other technical indicators to make more informed trading decisions.
9. Confirmation and Validation: It's important to confirm the significance of volume candles with other indicators or price action signals to avoid false signals.
10. Risk Management : As with any trading strategy, proper risk management is crucial when using volume candles to make trading decisions. Set stop-loss orders and adhere to risk management principles to protect your capital.

[FXAN] 77 Cygni Algorithm (Swing Trading)⚜️ FXAN CYGNI INDICATORS ORIGINALITY
Originality comes from proprietary formula we use to measure the relationship between Volume and Price Volatility in relation to overall current market positioning in developing Volume Profile and multiple custom period Volume Profiles. We combine that with our own approach to measure price velocity in correlation to average daily/weekly/monthly ranges of the given market.
The relationship between current volume and price volatility gives us information about how much the volume that is currently coming into the market affects the price movement (volatility) and which side is more dominant/involved in the market (Buyers/Sellers). We call this the "Volume Impact" factor.
This information is then compared in relation to the overall current market positioning in developing Volume Profile and Multiple custom period Volume Profiles. We have created a rating system based on current price positioning in relation to the Volume Profile. Volume profile consists of different volume nodes, high volume nodes where we consider market interest to be high (a lot of transactions - High Volume) and low volume nodes where we consider market interest to be low (not a lot of transactions - Low Volume). We call this the current "Market Interest" factor.
We combine this information with our own approach to measure price velocity in correlation to the higher-timeframe price ranges. Calculation is done by measuring current ranges of market movement in correlation to average daily/weekly/monthly ranges. We call this "Price Velocity" factor.
This approach was applied to develop key components of our Tradingview Indicators, we've simplified some of the calculations and made them easy to use by programming them to display buying/selling volume pressure with colors.
In addition to our own proprietary formulas and criterias to measure volume impact on price, we've also used an array of indicators that measure the percentage change in volume over custom specified periods of time, including custom period ranged Volume Profile, Developing VA, Accumulation/Distribution (A/D Line), Volume Rate of Change (VROC), Volume Price Trend (VPT) - all of them with of course fine-tuned settings to fit the purpose in the overall calculation.
Reasons for multiple indicator use:
Custom period ranged Volume Profiles: To determine current interest of market participants. Used for "Market Interest"
Developing VA: To determine current fair price of the market (value area). Used for "Market Interest".
Accumulation/Distribution (A/D Line): Helping to gauge the strength of buying and selling pressure. Used for "Volume Impact"
Volume Rate of Change (VROC): To give us information about percentage change in volume. Used for "Volume Impact"
Volume Price Trend (VPT): To help identify potential trends. Used for "Volume Impact".
Average True Range (ATR): Used for measuring volatility. Used for "Volume Impact" and "Price Velocity".
Average Daily Range (ADR): Used for measuring average market price movement. Used for "Price Velocity".
How it all works together:
"Volume Impact" factor tells us the influence of incoming market volume on price movement. This information alongside the overall market positioning information derived from "Market Interest" factor combined with information about speed and direction relative to higher-timeframe price ranges frin "Price Velocity.
This is the basis of our proprietary developed Volume Dynamics analysis approach
"Volume Impact" x "Market Interest" x "Price Velocity"
Combining this factors together gives a good overall understanding of which side is currently more involved in the market to gauge the direction ("Volume Impact"), where the market is currently positioned to gauge the context ("Market Interest") and what the current market's momentum to improve the timing of our trades ("Price Velocity"). This increases our probabilities for successful trades, executed with good timing.
To simplify - our indicators will always analyze the volume behind every price movement and rate those movements based on the relationship between movement distance and volume behind it through an array of criterias and rate them.
Colors displayed by the indicators will be a result of that, suggesting which side of the market (Buyers or sellers) is currently more involved in the market, aiming to increase the probabilities for profitable trades. With the help of our indicators you have deep volume analysis behind price movements done without looking at anything else then indicator components.
🔷 OVERVIEW
Cygni 77 Algorithm is a TradingView indicator designed to help determine higher timeframe market context and long-term market sentiment and trends. It analyzes the underlying volume behind market movements and colors the candles with the help of formulas that include technical analysis and market price action. It caters to traders looking for swing trading setups or additional perspectives for day trading sentiment.
🔷 KEY FEATURES
▊ Candle Coloring
▊ Dynamic Support & Resistance Lines
▊ Dots | Above and below the candles
▊ Colored Bar | on the bottom of the chart
🔷 HOW DOES IT WORK?
□ Candle colors will indicate the general market trend from the technical analysis perspective. The calculation for this component uses price action concepts and segments from technical analysis, for example, candle/price structural breaks. Volume is not used for calculations of this component.
□ Dynamic Support & Resistance Lines indicate the current market structure from the technical analysis perspective. The calculation uses pure price action and structural analysis of the current market movements.
□ Candle Dots show what are the mid-term volume dynamics in the market by referencing the daily average price weighted by volume with the periods ranging from days to weeks. Candle Dots suggest what is the likely direction of the market's trend from the mid-term perspective. If the market is bullish, you’ll see the green dots printed below the candles, and if the market is bearish, the dots will color red and print above the candles.
□ Colored Bar analyzes long-term volume dynamics and the market's price action for the past three to six weeks, referencing average price weighted by volume. This makes it much less sensitive than the Candle Dots, so the colors won't change that often. If the market is bullish, you’ll see the green bars, and if the market is bearish, the bars will color red.
🔷 HOW TO USE IT?
□ In general, we look for areas where all components are in sync. These are valid trading signals (refer to the usage example below).
□ If all components are not in sync, we should look for at least two of them to be in sync, while one of them must be the Colored Bar.
□ Candle Colors: Looking for longs when the candles are green and looking for shorts when the colors are red
□ Dynamic Support & Resistance Lines: Used for placing entries and stop-loss limits. Using retest of the line for entry and placing the stop-loss beyond it. Or if we're entering based on other components, we can use the line to place the stop-loss beyond it.
□ Candle Dots: Looking to trade in the direction of the color. If the market is bullish, you’ll see the green dots, and if the market is bearish, the dots will color red.
□ Colored Bar: Most important component of this indicator, we favor trading in the direction suggested by this component. Additional confirmation of other components is a bonus. Colors here don't change that often, but once they do - it usually signals a long-term trend shift. Green color suggests a bullish market, trading long. Red color suggests bearish market, trading short.
🔷 COMBINING THE COMPONENTS
Each component of the indicator serves its own purpose and analyzes the market from its own perspective and with its own custom settings and formulas. The calculation of the individual component is done independently from the calculation of the other components. Once all of them align, we can execute trades with an edge as it signals that different aspects of volume and price analysis line up for the trading opportunity.
-Candle Colors performs technical analysis for you by displaying the colors of a favorable market direction based on the market's current technical structure.
- Dynamic Support & Resistance Lines are used for placing your entry/exit limit orders.
-Candle Dots are used to determine the favorable direction of the market based on Daily Volume Dynamics, with custom timeframe settings ranging from a couple of days to a couple of weeks.
-The Colored Bar is used to gauge the overall favorable trading direction based on Daily Volume Dynamics with custom timeframe settings ranging from 3 to 6 weeks.
It's important to combine the components to increase the probability of success - here's how you should look for a trade:
1. Assess the current most favorable market direction by referencing the Colored Bar. Look for longs if it’s green and for shorts if it’s red
2. Look for the Candle Dots to align with the Colored Bar, look for longs if it’s green and for shorts if it’s red
3. Look for the Candle Colors to align with the Colored Bar. Look for longs if it’s green and for shorts if it’s red
4. Place your SL level beyond the currently developing Support/Resistance line to protect your positions and look for exits once the colors change.
A valid example of the trade would be:
- Colored Bar is green, indicating the favorable trading directions is long
- Candle Dots are green, indicating the favorable trading directions is long
- Candle Colors are green, indicating the market structure is favorable to enter your positions

🔷 OVERVIEW
Cygni 75 Algorithm is a TradingView indicator crafted to refine your market analysis and assist in identifying potential entry and exit points by analyzing the underlying volume behind market movements. It helps you determine the overall daily context of the market and its conditions/trends by offering a suite of features tailored to provide insights to traders across various market conditions.
🔷 KEY FEATURES
▊ Candle Coloring
▊ Deviation Bands
▊ Momentum Bar | on the bottom of the chart
▊ Area of Interest (AOI) | Yellow rectangle
🔷 HOW DOES IT WORK?
□ Candles will color in reference to the dominance of buyers or sellers based on underlying volume calculated by a proprietary formula. The green color indicates that buyers are in control, and the red color indicates the selling volume is dominating the market. To simplify, green means there's more buying - red means there's more selling.
□ Deviation bands are used to determine potential trade entries and exits, derived by average price weighted by volume.
□ Momentum Bar shows market momentum by analyzing the differences between multiple moving averages. Green is bullish; red is bearish. The colors will lighten up when momentum is strong, and once the market slows down, they will get darker.
□ Area of Interest (AOI) is used for contextual reference, derived from the previous day's market movements. They remain static throughout the current day.
🔷 HOW TO USE IT?
□ In general, we look for areas where all components are in sync. This are valid trading signals (refer to the usage example below).
□ Candle Colors: Looking for longs when the candles are green, and looking for shorts when the colors are red
□ Deviation Bands: Once we enter the trade, we can place the SL and TP levels at the closest bands.
□ Momentum Bar: Helps with the timing of the entry, looking to enter on light Green/Red colors. Longs when green and shorts when red.
□ Area Of Interest: Generally, we're expecting rotational conditions inside the area and breakouts above/below once the market price gets outside of it. Longs above the area and shorts below the area for breakouts.
🔷 COMBINING THE COMPONENTS
Each component of the indicator serves it's own purpose and analyzes the market from it's own perspective and with its own custom settings and formulas (one looks at trading direction from the perspective of the overall trend and the other looks at price volatility to measure momentum - different perspectives). The calculation of the individual component is done independently from other components. Once all of them align we're able to execute trades with edge as it signals that different aspects of volume and price analysis line up for the trading opportinity.
- Candle Colors are used for determining trading direction
- Deviation bands are used for determining TP/SL levels
- Momentum bar is used to for better timing of your entries/exits.
- AOI is used to help you determine potential market conditions
It's important to combine the components to increase the probability of success - here's how you should look for a trade:
1. Determine the direction you want to trade in with the help of Candle Colors
2. Assess the current market price in reference to AOI - look for longs if the price is above the AOI, shorts if the price is below AOI, and rotations if it's inside the AOI.
3. Wait for the right momentum to develop to improve the timing of the entry by using Momentum Bar.
4. Place TP/SL levels with the help of Deviation bands based on your risk appetite.
A valid example of the trade would be:
- Green Candle Colors (indicating longs)
- Market price is currently above the AOI or breaking the edge of AOI in the upside movement (indicating longs)
- Momentum Bar is Green (indicating long momentum)
- Placing SL to the closest Deviation Band below the price and TP to the closest Deviation Band above the price.

□ Candles will color in reference to the Heiken ashi "average bar" methodology, which uses a modified formula based on two-period averages. This way, you can observe the normal candlesticks with less noise as colors will suggest the most likely direction where the market might be heading.
□ Upper Colored Bar analyzes daily volume dynamics in the market's price action by referencing the daily average price weighted by volume. If the market is bullish, you’ll see the green bars, and if the market is bearish, the bars will color red.
□ Lower Colored Bar analyzes volume dynamics and the market's price action every few second and minute intervals by referencing average price weighted by volume. This makes it much more sensitive than the Upper Colored Bar. If the market is bullish, you’ll see the green bars, and if the market is bearish, the bars will color red.
🔷 HOW TO USE IT?
□ In general, we look for areas where all components are in sync. These are valid trading signals (refer to the usage example below).
□ If all components are not in sync, we should look for at least two of them to be in sync while one of them must be Upper Colored Bar.
□ Candle Colors: Looking for longs when the candles are green and looking for shorts when the colors are red
□ Upper Colored Bar: The most important component of this indicator is that we favor trading in the direction suggested by this component. Additional confirmation of other components is a bonus. The green color suggests a bullish market, trading long. Red color suggests bearish market, trading short.
□ Lower Colored Bar: This should not be used on its own but always combined with at least one of the other components due to its sensitivity. Colors are indicating longs when green and shorts when red.
🔷 COMBINING THE COMPONENTS
Each component of the indicator serves it's own purpose and analyzes the market from it's own perspective and with its own custom settings and formulas. The calculation of the individual component is done independently from other components. Once all of them align, we're able to execute trades with an edge as it signals that different aspects of volume and price analysis line up for the trading opportunity.
- Candle Colors are used for improving the timing of your entries/exits based on market structure
- Upper Colored Bar is used for determining the favorable direction of the market based on Daily Volume Dynamics.
- Lower Colored Bar used for determining the favorable direction of the market based on Second/Minute/3-minute Volume Dynamics.
It's important to combine the components to increase the probability of success - here's how you should look for a trade:
1. Assess the current most favorable market direction by referencing the Upper Colored bar, look for longs if it’s green and for shorts if it’s red
2. Look for the Candle Colors to align with the Upper Colored bar, look for longs if it’s green and for shorts if it’s red
3. Look for short-time frame volume dynamics to align with your entries, by referencing the Lower Colored Bar - look for longs if it’s green and for shorts if it’s red.
A valid example of the trade would be:
- Upper Colored Bar is green, indicating the favorable trading directions is long
- Lower Colored Bar is green, indicating the favorable trading directions is long
- Candle Colors are green, indicating the market structure is favorable to enter your positions

Money Flow Profile [LuxAlgo]The Money Flow Profile is a charting tool that measures the traded volume or the money flow at all price levels on the market over a specified time period and highlights the relationship between the price of a given asset and the willingness of traders to either buy or sell it, allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels and to analyze the trading activity of a particular user-selected range.
This tool combines a volume/money flow profile, a sentiment profile, and price levels, where the right side of the profile highlights the distribution of the traded activity/money flow at different price levels, the left side of the profile highlights the market sentiment at those price levels, and in the middle the price levels.
🔶 USAGE
A volume/money flow profile is an advanced charting tool that displays the traded volume/money flow at different price levels over a specific period. It helps traders visualize where the majority of trading activity/money flow has occurred.
A sentiment profile is a difference between buy and sell volume/money flow aiming to highlight the sentiment/dominance at specific price levels.
Each row of the profile presents figures on volume and money flow specific to price levels.
High volume/money flow nodes indicate areas of high activity and are likely to act as support or resistance in the future. They attract price and try to hold it there. Conversely, low-volume nodes are areas with low trading activity, that are less subject to get revisited by the price. The market often bounces right over these levels, not staying for long. The "Profile Heatmap" option of the script helps to better emphasize the trading activity within each areas.
By measuring the traded activity at each price level the script presents an ability to highlight the consolidation zones, in other words, highlights accumulation and distribution zones. When the price moves toward one end of the consolidation and volume pick up, it can foreshadow a potential breakout.
Level of Significance, Point of Control, Highest Sentiment Zone, and Profile Price levels are some of the other profile-related options available with the script.
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters and plots the profiles, where detailed usage for each user-defined input parameter in indicator settings is provided with the related input's tooltip.

USD VolumeA volume tool but the candles represent Volume in USD Format which is usually
here are some examples of what the numbers represent on the right-hand side.
.01 = $10,000
.5 = $500,000
1 = $1,000,000
50 = $50,000,000
250 = $250,000,000
1000 = $1,000,000,000
The lower line is the "Average Volume" based on lifetime history. Anytime volume is below average, this likely denotes most people have capitulated or the markets have grown bored at these price ranges. A squeeze in volume primes the asset for a big move.
The upper line is the 3rd standard of Deviation from the average line. Anytime volume touches that line or goes higher, this denotes its a very big move relative to how the asset typically trades. If the volume stays above this range for an extended period of time, it would be wise to watch the chart closely and start taking profits off the table whether you're shorting or longing the asset.
VWAP SuiteThis indicator automates the plotting of various timeframe based VWAP Values. This utilizes a different calculation method for the standard deviations bands compared to the native Tradingview AVWAP. While the Tradingview AVWAP indicator calculates the standard devation based on the VWAP variance, this indicator calculates the std dev based on the price sum variance (i.e. the variance of the hlc3, ohlc4, etc. values).
Current timeframes include:
- Daily VWAP with three user configurable standard deviation bands
- Multi-Day VWAP that allows you to plot 2-day to 5-day VWAP
- Weekly VWAP with three user configurable standard deviation bands
- Monthly VWAP with three user configurable standard deviation bands
Some unique aspects of this indicator is that it allows the user to calculate VWAP for only a specific session range if you are only interested in the VWAP when specific participants are active in the market. For example, the default session range only calculates VWAP for the New York RTH session (0930-1600).
If the user wants to compare how the session range chosen varies from the VWAP calculation with ETH you can select the 'Include Extended Trading Hours' check box which will ignore the session range input variable and simply calculate what is exactly on the chart without filtering.
You can also toggle whether the VWAP values show up in the price scale, status line, or both which can limit the amount of clutter that shows up on the chart based upon the user's preferences.
1. [Pufferman] - Comprehensive VolumeThis indicator presents a comprehensive approach to volume analysis, incorporating several key metrics to provide traders with a detailed view of market activity. Here's what's included:
1. Cumulative Relative Volume (Intraday): This metric accumulates volume data throughout the day, comparing it to historical session averages up to the current time. It's particularly useful for intraday analysis to determine if the stock is trading high or low volume before the day is over.
2. Real Relative Volume - This feature calculates the relative volume of a stock in comparison to the SPY, offering insight into whether a stock is trading with higher relative volume than the broader market.
3. Configurable Moving Average for Volume: Users can adjust the moving average period for average volume, allowing for flexible adaptation to different trading strategies and time frames. (green line in photo)
4. Above/Below Average Line: This line indicates whether the current volume bar exceeds or falls short of the session's average volume, providing immediate context for volume analysis. (red line in photo).
5. Volume Display in Abbreviations: Actual volume figures are presented in an abbreviated format, using "K" for thousands and "M" for millions, facilitating quick and easy analysis.
6. Color-Coded Relative and Real Relative Volume: Both the Relative Volume (RVOL) and Real Relative Volume (RRVOL) are color-coded to instantly convey volume concentration levels, enhancing visual analysis across multiple charts.
7. Volume Bars with Bullish and Bearish Highlights: Traditional volume bars are color-highlighted according to corresponding candle patterns, aiding in the identification of market sentiment.
Key Points:
The RVOL is a cumulative metric, considering time-of-day volume comparisons for intraday analysis. This approach offers a nuanced understanding of volume patterns specific to the timeframe being viewed.
The RRVOL provides a comparative analysis against the market, offering insights into stock-specific volume activity relative to market trends.
Note: This indicator is designed for intraday analysis and may not function as intended on timeframes above daily due to the cumulative nature of its volume calculations.
Effective Volume Z-ScoreThis indicator aims at responding the question: is the current trend supported by volume?
The concept and formula
The central concept is the Effective Volume, calculated as follow:
effectiveVolume = volume * (close - open) / (high - low)
Then the Effective Volume Z-Score indicator is calculated by smoothing the effective volume and applying the z-score function:
zscore(x) = (x - mean) / stdev
Essentially, the indicator's value represents the number of standard deviations of the effective volume away from the mean.
How to use it
This indicator should be used for trend confirmation.
For an uptrend, the bigger the indicator value, the greater the volume support, while for a downtrend, the lower the indicator value, the greater the volume support.
Divergences are also important, as with every volume indicator.
Liquidity Finder v2.0Description:
The Liquidity Finder v2.0 is a powerful technical indicator designed to identify divergence between volume and price movements in financial markets. Divergence occurs when there is a significant disparity between trading volume and price action, often signaling potential changes in market direction or trends.
This indicator calculates the relative volume and relative price change over a user-defined lookback period. Relative volume is determined by comparing the current volume to the average volume over the specified period, while relative price change compares the current price change to the average price change over the same period.
Key Features:
Customizable parameters allow users to adjust the lookback period, volume threshold, and price threshold to suit their trading preferences.
Divergence detection is visually represented by changing the color of price bars, making it easy for traders to identify potential trading opportunities.
Alerts can be set to notify traders when divergence is detected, enabling timely decision-making and trade execution.
The Volume-Price Divergence Detector is a valuable tool for traders and investors seeking to enhance their technical analysis toolkit. By spotting divergence between volume and price movements, traders can anticipate potential trend reversals or continuations, leading to more informed trading decisions and improved trading outcomes.
Periodic Activity Tracker [LuxAlgo]The Periodic Activity Tracker tool periodically tracks the cumulative buy and sell volume in a user-defined period and draws the corresponding matching bars and volume delta for each period.
Users can select a predefined aggregation period from the following options: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
🔶 USAGE
This tool provides a simple and clear way of analyzing volumes for each aggregated period and is made up of the following elements:
Buy and sell volumes by period as red and green lines with color gradient area
Delta (difference) between buy & sell volume for each period
Buy & sell volume bars for each period
Separator between lines and bars, and period tags below each pair of bars for ease of reading
On the chart above we can see all the elements displayed, the volume level on the lines perfectly matches the volume level on the bars for each period.
In this case, the tool has the default settings so the anchor period is set to Daily and we can see how the period tag (each day of the week) is displayed below each pair of bars.
Users can disable the delta display and adjust the bar size.
🔹 Reading The Tool
In trading, assessing the strength of the bulls (buyers) and bears (sellers) is key to understanding the current trading environment. Which side, if any, has the upper hand? To answer this question, some traders look at volume in relation to price.
This tool provides you with a view of buy volume versus sell volume, allowing you to compare both sides of the market.
As with any volume tool, the key is to understand when the forces of the two groups are balanced or unbalanced.
As we can observe on the chart:
NOV '23: Buy volume greater than sell volume, both moving up close together, flat delta. We can see that the price is in range.
DEC '23: Buy volume bigger than Sell volume, both moving up but with a bigger difference, bigger delta than last month but still flat. We can see the price in the range above last month's range.
JAN '24: Buy and sell volume tied together, no delta whatsoever. We can see the price in range but testing above and below last month's range.
FEB '24: Buy volume explodes higher and sell volume cannot keep up, big growing delta. Price explodes higher above last month's range.
Traders need to understand that there is always an equal number of buyers and sellers in a liquid market, the quality here is how aggressive or passive they are. Who is 'attacking' and who is 'defending', who is using market orders to move prices, and who is using limit orders waiting to be filled?
This tool gives you the following information:
Lines: if the top line is green, the buyers are attacking, if it is red, the sellers are attacking.
Delta: represents the difference in their strength, if it is above 0 the buyers are stronger, if it is below 0 the sellers are stronger.
Bars: help you to see the difference in strength between buyers and sellers for each period at a glance.
🔹 Anchor Period
By default, the tool is set to Hourly. However, users can select from a number of predefined time periods.
Depending on the user's selection, the bars are displayed as follows:
Hourly : hours of the current day
Daily : days of the current week
Weekly : weeks of the current month
Monthly : months of the current year
On the chart above we can see the four periods displayed, starting at the top left and moving clockwise we have hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Chart TimeFrame
The chart timeframe has a direct impact on the visualization of the tool, and the user should select a chart timeframe that is compatible with the Anchor period in the tool's settings panel.
For the chart timeframe to be compatible it must be less than the Anchor period parameter. If the user selects an incompatible chart timeframe, a warning message will be displayed.
As a rule of thumb, the smaller the chart timeframe, the more data the tool will collect, returning indications for longer-term price variations.
These are the recommended chart timeframes for each period:
Hourly : 5m charts or lower
Daily : 1H charts or lower
Weekly : 4H charts or lower
Monthly : 1D charts or lower
🔹 Warnings
This chart shows both types of warnings the user may receive
At the top, we can see the warning that is given when the 'Bar Width' parameter exceeds the allowed value.
At the bottom is the incompatible chart timeframe warning, which prompts the user to select a smaller chart timeframe or a larger "Anchor Period" parameter.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Data Gathering
Anchor period: Time period representing each bar: hours of the day, days of the week, weeks of the month, and months of the year. The timeframe of the chart must be less than this parameter, otherwise a warning will be displayed.
🔹 Style
Bars width: Size of each bar, there is a maximum limit so a warning will be displayed if it is reached.

VR1 DEMASure, here's a description for the "Volume Range Dual EMA" indicator:
---
**Indicator Name:** Volume Range Dual EMA
**Description:**
The "Volume Range Dual EMA" indicator is a technical analysis tool designed for TradingView charts. It calculates the ratio of volume to the price range of each bar and plots two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of this ratio.
**Usage:**
- This indicator helps traders analyze the relationship between volume and price range in a given timeframe.
- The primary purpose of the indicator is to identify trends and potential changes in market sentiment based on volume and price movements.
- Traders can adjust the lengths of the EMAs according to their trading strategies and preferences.
- When the shorter EMA crosses above the longer EMA, it may signal a bullish trend, whereas a crossover in the opposite direction could indicate a bearish trend.
**Parameters:**
1. **EMA Length 1:** Defines the length of the first Exponential Moving Average (EMA) used in the calculation.
2. **EMA Length 2:** Defines the length of the second Exponential Moving Average (EMA) used in the calculation.
Volume Quartile IndicatorThe Volume Quartile Indicator is a tool designed to analyze and classify trading volumes based on quartile levels, offering traders a visual means to assess market strength and momentum. This indicator calculates volume levels using a default length of 60 periods to determine the quartiles at 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90%. Each quartile range is represented by a specific color, providing a clear, visual representation of volume intensity relative to historical data.
Color-Coded Volume Strength: Volume strength is visually represented through a color-coded system for quick and intuitive analysis:
Red: Volume below the 10% level indicates very weak market activity.
Orange: Volume between 10% and 30% signifies weak market activity.
Gray: Volume in the 30% to 50% range represents medium activity with a weak bias.
Silver: Volume between 50% and 70% indicates medium activity with a strong bias.
Blue: Volume in the 70% to 90% range denotes strong market activity.
Green: Volume above the 90% level signifies very strong market activity.
Special Volume Markers: Yellow diamond markers highlight volumes that stand out due to their significance, providing traders with visual cues for potential market entry or exit points.
Q-Lines: The indicator draws q-lines at the 70%, 90%, and the midpoint between these two levels. The convergence of these q-lines suggests potential volatility in volume, which could significantly impact price movements.
The Volume Quartile Classification Indicator is atool for traders looking to incorporate volume analysis into their trading strategy.
OI Bubbles aggrThis indicator visually represents the positioning of market participants using open interest (OI) data of Bitcoin futures obtained from multiple exchanges.
The main features and functions of the indicator are as follows:
1. Aggregation of OI data from multiple exchanges
- Retrieves and sums OI data from 5 symbols: Binance (BTCUSDTPERP, BTCPERP), Kraken (BTCUSDTPERP), and BitMEX (XBTUSD, XBTUSDT)
2. Calculation of Z-score for OI
- Calculates the Z-score for the total OI
- Uses a moving average (default period is 21) specified for the Z-score calculation
- The Z-score expresses how much the OI value deviates from the average in units of standard deviation
3. Display of signals based on Z-score
- Displays signals when the Z-score exceeds/falls below multiple predefined thresholds (default is 5 levels: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5)
- Signals are displayed as colored circles in the middle of the corresponding candle
- The size of the circle increases as the threshold is significantly exceeded, visually emphasizing the magnitude of the position bias
4. Customizable parameters
- Selection of exchanges and symbols to use
- Setting of the type and period of moving average used for Z-score calculation
- Setting of Z-score thresholds
- Setting of signal colors
Extreme position biases may lead to subsequent price movements, making them a key signal for trading.
However, this indicator is based solely on OI data and does not consider other market data such as price action or trading volume.
Therefore, it is crucial to combine the signals obtained from this indicator with other analytical methods for a comprehensive assessment.
Furthermore, the results can be greatly influenced by the parameter settings of the indicator, such as the Z-score thresholds and calculation periods. As a result, it is necessary to conduct thorough backtesting on historical data to find the optimal settings.

VWAP SpiderThe VWAP Spider indicator enhances the conventional Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) analysis by anchoring it to the first candle and incorporating an extensive series of standard deviation (SD) lines, extending up to +8 SDs with additional half-step increments. This configuration provides a more suitable set of lines for identifying support and resistance, distinguishing it from existing VWAP and SD indicators. Its design, featuring color gradients for fills and distinct labels for each line, aims to improve the utility and user experience.
Optimal Timeframes:
It is recommended for use on weekly or monthly resolutions to ensure all price and volume history is included.
Distinctive Features:
The indicator includes a more extensive array of SD lines than typically found in VWAP indicators, enhancing the depth of market analysis.
The visual presentation is optimized with color gradients and clear labeling, facilitating ease of use and integration into trading strategies.
Practical Use of the VWAP Spider:
SD Lines as Support and Resistance : Observe the interactions between the price and the SD lines closely. These can serve as dynamic support and resistance indicators, influencing trading decisions.
Analyzing Historical Price Action : Investigate how the price has historically interacted with the SD lines. Identify which lines have frequently acted as support and resistance in the past, as they will often continue to be revisited.
Strategic Application : Leverage insights from the interactions between price and SD lines to fine-tune entry and exit points. For example, a rebound from an SD line may suggest a strong entry point, while breaching an SD line could indicate a potential exit.
This indicator is freely available and open-source on TradingView for all. It is designed to help traders enhance their market analysis and strategic decision-making.
Entry FraggerEntry Fragger is a simple buy signal indicator.
It is most suitable for cryptocurrency, especially for altcoins on the 5 minute to daily timeframe and is based on simple volume calculations, in combination with EMA's.
Main Signal Logic explained:
A buy signal is generated by counting candles with an above average sell volume of 130% to 170%, taking into account the candles position below and above the 50 and 200 EMA.
If criteria meet, the first green candle above the 50 EMA's suggests upcoming higher prices.
The indicator has 2 input variables.
"Signal Confirmations (0 - 7):" Changes signal accuracy by a defining an ammount of high sell volume candles necessary below the 50 EMA.
"Volume Calculation Base (9 - 200):" Sets the exponential volume multiplier, this affects candle coloring and the volume calculation inside the candle.
"Style Settings": Turn ON/OFF Signals, Cloud, Bar Coloring, EMA's, etc...
There are no generally suitable default numbers for those 2 inputs, those have to be tested out, depending on cryptocurrency and timeframe.
The calculation is very basic, the underlying idea being, market maker initiating range breakouts through rapid increase of volume above or below the EMA's .
Example settings:
SOLUSDT: Signal Confirmations: 2, Volume Calculation Base 13.
SOLUSDT: Signal Confirmations: 0, Volume Calculation Base 20.
As you can see it affects signals quite a lot, but staying accurate.
Finetune the inputs to your preference.
Risk to Reward, Stoploss, Take Profit, position sizing, etc... is up to the user.
Recommended entry is to wait for following candle closes, entering half of the candle size and setting Stoploss outside the structure, like this:
Or right below the candles open, for safety.
Liquidity SpotterIndicator Setup:
The script sets up a TradingView indicator titled "Liquidity Spotter" with a short title "PWWTC LS". It's designed to overlay on the price chart (overlay=true).
Input Variables:
The script defines input variables that allow users to customize the behavior of the indicator:
atr_length: Length of the Average True Range (ATR) used in calculations.
volume_multiplier: Multiplier used to compare the volume of the current bar with the average volume.
range_multiplier: Multiplier used to calculate the range condition.
highlight_color: Color used to highlight bars when conditions are met.
Calculations:
The script calculates the ATR and average volume using the ta.atr and ta.sma functions provided by TradingView's Pine Script.
It sets the avg_range to the value of the ATR, essentially making it the same as atr_value.
Conditions:
The script checks several conditions based on the calculated values:
range_condition: Compares the range (high - low) of the current bar with the average range multiplied by the range multiplier.
volume_condition: Compares the volume of the current bar with the average volume multiplied by the volume multiplier.
range_volume_condition: Compares the ratio of range to volume with the ratio of average range to average volume.
Plotting:
Based on the conditions being met or not, the script sets the color of the price bars. If all conditions are met, the color of the bars will be set to highlight_color, otherwise, it will remain unchanged (na).
Overall, this script visually highlights price bars on the chart where specific conditions related to range, volume, and their ratio are met, potentially indicating trading opportunities.
REV01 - Combined WT and SQZMOM Indicator and VWAP [KMARHOUMI]The Combined WaveTrend and Squeeze Momentum Indicator with VWAP (CWT_SQZMOM) is a powerful trading tool designed for traders looking to capitalize on market momentum and volatility squeezes, with the added insight of volume-weighted average price (VWAP) levels.
This custom indicator integrates three key components:
WaveTrend Oscillator: A momentum indicator that highlights potential reversal points in the market by identifying overbought and oversold conditions.
Squeeze
Momentum Indicator (SQZMOM): Identifies market consolidation periods (squeeze) and potential momentum breakouts, offering visual cues for significant price movements.
Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP): Provides a baseline measure of the average price based on volume, crucial for understanding market direction within a trading day.
Features
Visual Cues: Utilizes color-coded histograms, circles, and triangles to provide clear visual signals for trading opportunities.
Customizable Parameters: Allows traders to adjust input values for the WaveTrend Oscillator and Squeeze Momentum Indicator to fit various trading styles and timeframes.
Dynamic Indicators: Combines price momentum with volume data, offering a comprehensive view of market conditions.
How to Use
Setup: Apply the indicator to any chart in a trading platform that supports Pine Script (e.g., TradingView). Adjust the input parameters as needed to match your trading strategy and the asset's volatility.
Reading the Indicator:
WaveTrend Crossovers: Look for blue circles indicating a bullish crossover of the WaveTrend lines (wt1 crosses above wt2) and fuchsia circles for a bearish crossover (wt1 crosses below wt2). These points signal potential reversal opportunities.
Squeeze Momentum (SQZMOM): Green triangles at the bottom indicate a "Squeeze On" condition, suggesting market consolidation and potential for a breakout. Red triangles at the top signal a "Squeeze Off" condition, indicating the end of the squeeze and the start of a momentum phase.
VWAP: The price position relative to the VWAP line helps identify the overall market trend. Prices above VWAP may indicate bullish conditions, while prices below VWAP suggest bearish conditions.
Example Scenario for Going Long
Imagine the asset's price has been consolidating, and you observe a green triangle ("Squeeze On") at the bottom of the chart, indicating a potential breakout. Shortly after, a blue circle appears, signaling a bullish crossover in the WaveTrend Oscillator. If this crossover occurs above the VWAP line, it strengthens the signal for a long position. Traders might enter a long trade at this point, setting a stop loss below the recent low and a take profit at a previous resistance level or using a risk-reward ratio that suits their strategy.
