Volume Flow Imbalance

The Volume Flow Imbalance (VFI) indicator is designed to provide traders with insights into the market's buying and selling pressure by calculating the imbalance between buy and sell volumes over a user-defined lookback period. This indicator is particularly useful for identifying potential pivot points and market sentiment shifts.
How to Use:
Setup Parameters:
- Lookback Period: Set the number of bars over which the imbalance is calculated. Increasing this number provides a broader view of market trends.
- Lower Timeframe Data: Optionally enable this feature to analyze volume data from lower timeframes, offering a more granified view of volume flows.
Interpreting the Indicator:
- The VFI outputs a value that represents the net imbalance between buying and selling volumes. Positive values indicate a predominance of buying volume, suggesting bullish conditions, while negative values suggest bearish conditions with more selling volume.
- The indicator also provides dynamic threshold lines based on the standard deviation of the calculated imbalances, helping to visually identify extreme conditions where reversals might occur.
Application:
- Apply the VFI to any chart to assess the balance of trade volumes in real-time.
- Use the indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm trends or potential reversals.
Tips:
- Adjust the lookback period based on the volatility and trading volume of the asset to optimize performance.
- The VFI is best used in liquid markets where volume data is a reliable indicator of market activity.
- By providing a clear measure of how much buying and selling is occurring relative to the past, the VFI helps traders make informed decisions based on underlying market dynamics.
- Upgraded to Pine Script™ v6 for better performance and future compatibility.
