Volume Scanner (Spikes & Drops) [Context]
📌 Purpose
This indicator detects significant volume spikes or drops and optionally filters them by price context (local highs/lows).
It helps identify potential breakout or exhaustion points with improved signal quality compared to raw volume alerts.
🧠 How It Works
1. Volume Spike / Drop Detection
SMA Volume over N bars is calculated as baseline.
Volume Spike: Volume > SMA × Spike Multiplier (default 1.5×).
Volume Drop: Volume < SMA × Drop Multiplier (default 0.5×).
2. Context Filter (optional)
When Use Context = ON:
Bullish Context: Volume spike at/near local price high (last Lookback bars).
Bearish Context: Volume drop at/near local price low (last Lookback bars).
3. Signal Gap
Minimum spacing between signals (Min Gap Bars) prevents excessive clustering.
4. Visuals
Background shading:
Green = Volume Spike in bullish context.
Red = Volume Drop in bearish context.
Alerts can be configured for both conditions.
📈 How to Use
Volume Spikes near highs can indicate breakouts or exhaustion tops.
Volume Drops near lows can signal liquidity dry-up or potential reversals.
Combine with price action or support/resistance for confirmation.
Recommended Timeframes: Works on all timeframes; more reliable on 15m, 1h, 4h.
Markets: Crypto, Forex, Stocks.
⚙️ Inputs
Volume SMA Length
Spike Multiplier / Drop Multiplier
Use Context (High/Low filter)
Min Gap Bars (avoid clustered signals)
