Welkin Advanced Volume Overlay (for VSA)

24 giu 2021

This is a PineScript translation of Welkin's Advanced Volume Indicator Overlay, originally written for ThinkOrSwim. This tool is designed to facilitate Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) by highlighting areas of above average volume alongside price movement.

This indicator does two things:
1. Plots lines that extend from candles of above average, high, and very high volume.
2. Colors in candles with colors indicating volume levels (when "Paint Candles With Volume Colors" is enabled).

Blue lines mark candles with Average volume, based on a 20 SMA.
Orange lines mark 2-sigma (2 times standard deviations higher) volume.
Magenta lines mark 3-sigma (3 times standard deviations higher) volume.

When enabled, gray colored candles indicate below average volume.
Yellow candles indicate volume that is relatively higher than the previous candle, default is 1.25x.

Note di rilascio

Added a toggle to allow for ignoring Extended Hours data when calculating volume ranges. (defaults to ON; extended hours volume is usually far below average and tends to artificially skew the results)

Mostly cleaning up unused stuff, as well as improving some of the drawing features so you don't get angled lines from one zone to another. Also added an optional "show previous range" toggle for each sigma level.

Added line/dot thickness as a settings option.

Note di rilascio

• Updated to PineScript 5v.
  
• Added a setting to use the "next" highest timeframe for plotting zones to make it easier to double up the indicator for multi-timeframe analysis.

Forgive me father, for I have fibbed.

• Added the option to display Fibonacci levels within volume zones. Defaults to "off". This draws lines at the 0.236 and 0.618 levels between midpoint and ceiling/floor of the zones (excluding the "Above Average" zones due to plot drawing restrictions).

I noticed a problem with the zone drawing being off for higher timeframe (1h and greater) that I can't seem to sort out. It seems to be related to the security() calls so for now I've made a temporary fix that bypasses the security call when using the "chart" timeframe.
