Realistic Trader Volume, Consolidation, Zones v.2

Realistic Trader Volume, Consolidation, Zones v.2
This volume-focused indicator gives you a clean, high-resolution view of market momentum and consolidation, without relying on a traditional volume panel.

A more intuitive volume tool that highlights relative volume conditions directly on candles

Surge bars color-coded based on context:
→ Green = Bullish Volume
→ Red = Bearish Volume
→ Gray = Continuation / Decline

Consolidation zones shown with white candles, identifying both currently forming and historical bases

Yellow arrows indicate consolidation breaks with volume surges, suggesting key shifts in momentum

Can help confirm when the market is likely to accelerate during a session

Useful for spotting early signs of reversals: Green after selloffs = potential buyers stepping in; Red after rallies = potential sellers stepping in

Zones can be manually drawn around a yellow arrow and its preceding white candle for more visual clarity

The bigger the green or red surge bar following a yellow arrow, the more powerful the zone

Works across all timeframes

Best used in combination with:

Realistic Trader Prior Days Levels & Zones

Realistic Trader Intraday Dynamic Zones & Levels

Realistic Trader Early Price Breaks & Confirmation (15min Only)

Realistic Trader Directional Bias

Pro Tip:
Yellow arrows mark key moments when consolidation ends and volume spikes begin. The taller the breakout candle that follows the yellow arrow, the stronger and more reliable the resulting zone is likely to be.
