Order Flow / Delta Volume Indicator

The Order Flow / Delta Volume Indicator is designed to give traders a comprehensive view of market activity by combining delta volume analysis, order flow imbalances, and momentum filters. This indicator is not just a mashup of components, but a carefully crafted tool that enhances decision-making by integrating various layers of market analysis into one powerful system.

How the Components Work Together:

1. Delta Volume Bars: The core of this indicator, delta volume shows the difference between buy and sell orders, allowing traders to see real-time shifts in market sentiment. Green bars indicate buy-side pressure, while red bars show sell-side dominance. By visualizing this in bar form, traders can easily spot significant shifts in order flow that could signal trend changes or momentum shifts.
2. Cumulative Delta Line (Rescaled): The cumulative delta is rescaled to plot under the price candles, giving traders a clear, contextualized view of how net buyer or seller dominance is developing over time. This line helps identify potential market reversals when price moves diverge from cumulative delta trends.
3. Order Flow Imbalance Detection: Imbalances in buy and sell volumes are automatically detected using a threshold, ensuring that traders are alerted to significant market moves. These imbalances provide insight into aggressive buying or selling behavior, which is crucial for identifying points of high trading activity or potential breakout/reversal zones.
4. VWAP Filter: Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is included as a filter to confirm trend direction. The VWAP ensures that buy signals are only triggered when price action is above the VWAP (indicating strength), and sell signals are triggered when price is below the VWAP (indicating weakness). This ensures that signals are not just based on volume, but also on where price is relative to a critical benchmark.
5. RSI Filter: The inclusion of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) adds a momentum check to the signals. By using RSI, traders can avoid taking trades during low-momentum periods, ensuring they only act when market conditions favor a stronger move.
6. Signal Cooldown Feature: To avoid clutter and noise from frequent signals, this indicator includes a cooldown period between signals, ensuring that traders don’t receive excessive alerts in a short timeframe. This feature prevents overtrading and helps focus on high-quality signals.

Why This Combination is Useful:

• Comprehensive Market Insight: By combining delta volume analysis with order flow imbalance detection, this indicator provides a deep understanding of market sentiment, showing not only price movement but the underlying volume dynamics driving those moves.
• Signal Accuracy: The VWAP and RSI filters ensure that signals are only generated in strong market conditions, filtering out weak or false signals that often occur in choppy markets.
• Divergence Detection: The cumulative delta line provides traders with a tool for spotting divergences between price action and underlying volume, allowing for earlier detection of potential reversals.

This indicator is more than a simple combination of existing tools—it’s a strategic fusion of volume analysis, order flow, and momentum filters designed to provide traders with a clearer view of market activity and to generate more reliable buy/sell signals.

This description explains how the components work together and highlights the indicator’s usefulness, which should address TradingView’s concerns about originality and purpose.
