Bookmap Style Aggressor Bubbles
This indicator is designed to emulate the visual aesthetic of professional Order Flow software (such as Bookmap) directly within TradingView. It replaces the traditional candlestick view with a clean "Microstructure" Step Line and highlights significant volume events using dynamic "Aggressor Bubbles."
This tool is perfect for traders who practice Order Flow analysis, Scalping, or VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) and want to visualize the relative intensity of buyers and sellers without the noise of traditional wicks and bodies.
1. How it Works
Since TradingView Pine Script operates on OHLCV (Level 1) data, this indicator uses a heuristic model to approximate Order Flow dynamics:
Aggressor Bubbles (Volume Spikes):
The script calculates a Relative Volume (RVOL) metric by comparing the current bar's volume against a 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
If the current volume exceeds a user-defined threshold (e.g., 2.0x the average), a bubble is plotted.
Size: The bubble size scales dynamically based on how massive the volume spike is (Small, Normal, Large, Huge).
Direction (Color): The aggressor side is approximated using the price action of the bar. If Close >= Open, it is treated as Buy Aggression (Green). If Close < Open, it is treated as Sell Aggression (Red).
Microstructure Price Line:
Standard candles can obscure the immediate path of price. This indicator includes a Step Line option that plots the closing price. This mimics the "Last Price" feed seen in DOM-based software, allowing you to see exactly where price held or broke.
2. Features
Smart Filtering: Filters out low-volume noise. You only see bubbles when "Whales" or significant liquidity changes occur.
Visual Customization: Fully adjustable colors for Buy/Sell bubbles and the price line.
Alert System: Includes a built-in alert that triggers whenever a significant Aggressor Bubble appears, allowing you to be notified of high-activity moments instantly.
Clean Aesthetic: Optimized for Dark Mode/Black backgrounds.
3. How to Use
Chart Setup (Important): For the best experience, hide your standard candles. Go to Chart Settings > Symbol and uncheck Body, Borders, and Wick.
Settings: Set your background to Black.
Interpretation:
Breakouts: Look for large bubbles pushing price through a key level. This indicates strong momentum.
Absorptions: Look for large bubbles appearing at the top/bottom of a range without price follow-through. This often suggests a reversal (Passive limit orders absorbing the aggressive market orders).
4. Technical Disclosure & Limitations
Please note that TradingView Pine Script provides access to OHLCV (History) data, not historical Tick-by-Tick or Level 2 (Depth of Market) data. Therefore, this indicator is a simulation. The "Aggressor" side is derived from bar direction, and the bubbles represent executed volume per bar, not individual tick clusters. It is intended for visual analysis and identifying high-volume nodes relative to recent history.

Tick-Based Delta Volume BubblesTICK-BASED DELTA VOLUME BUBBLES
OVERVIEW
A real-time order flow indicator that displays volume delta at the tick level, helping traders identify buying and selling pressure as it develops during live market hours. Unlike traditional volume delta indicators that rely on bar close data, this indicator captures actual tick-by-tick volume changes and directional bias, providing granular insight into market dynamics.
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator monitors live tick data during real-time trading by tracking volume increases between consecutive price updates. Each time volume increments, the script calculates the volume delta, determines price direction, assigns directional bias to the volume, and accumulates net delta for each bar.
This methodology is identical to the tick detection mechanism used in professional cumulative volume delta tools, ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Market Order Bubbles + Trapped Positions [Pt]"Market Order Bubbles + Trapped Positions" is a multifaceted TradingView indicator, employing volume data to depict intensified market activities. By highlighting aggressive buying/selling behaviors, this tool serves as a dependable aid in pinpointing potential trading reversals. Additionally, it proves an effective device for real-time market trend monitoring. The unique ability of this indicator to spotlight 'Trapped Positions'—resulting from such vigorous trading activity—helps identify crucial price levels or ranges that may lead to significant price responses.
Market Order Bubbles
The Market Order Bubbles feature capitalizes on volume data to estimate market orders. High bullish volume is indicative of a surge in buy orders, while strong bearish volume flags an increase in sell orders. These orders are visually represented by bubbles of different sizes, corresponding directly to the volume strength, thus providing traders with an immediate, intuitive understanding of market activity.
Trapped Positions/Zones
The concept of Trapped Positions emerges when sizable buy orders appear during a bearish market trend, or vice versa. For instance, if a considerable sell order is detected during a bullish uptrend, it signifies that those short positions may be 'trapped'. These positions help in plotting potential price range zones. When the price revisits these zones and the market trend maintains its bullish inclination, trapped shorts might opt for liquidation near break-even to mitigate losses. The reverse holds true in a bearish downtrend.
Trend Follower
The Trend Follower feature is a supportive tool that aims to discern price trends, color-coding candle bars for clarity. This function assists traders by presenting a simplified view of the prevailing trend, helping to minimize distractions caused by minor price shifts.
The utility of the Trend Follower is its ability to aid traders in focusing on the larger market direction. It allows traders to concentrate on the more substantial trend and make decisions that align with this broader market movement, rather than reacting to every minor price fluctuation. As a result, this feature may support traders in maintaining their positions for a longer duration, which could potentially enhance their trading outcomes. The Trend Follower, therefore, offers a helpful contribution to a balanced and effective trading approach.
In essence, the "Market Order Bubbles + Trapped Positions" indicator with its Trend Follower feature provides traders with a comprehensive understanding of market dynamics, allowing them to navigate the financial markets with increased precision and confidence. Its unique features, designed to highlight significant market activities and trends, can greatly aid in refining trading strategies, making it a potentially invaluable tool in a trader's arsenal.
Market Order Bubbles - By Leviathan"Market Order Bubbles" is a volume-based indicator that helps visualize the occurrences of increased aggressiveness in market buying/selling and can serve as a useful confluence for trading reversals or as a simple tool for observing real-time market dynamics.
I created Market Order Bubbles six months ago as an additional tool included in my Liquidation Levels script. Due to their popularity, I decided to publish them as a standalone indicator with some new features. The script is based on a calculation that uses volume data (imitation of CVD) and price action to estimate where there is a surge in the quantity and magnitude of market buy and sell orders. These occurrences are visualized with circles (bubbles) that appear above the bar (market buy orders) or below the bar (market sell orders). Most of the time, the approach to interpreting the bubbles is contrarian, meaning that the appearance of Market Buy Order Bubbles can serve as a confluence to look for shorts, and the appearance of Market Sell Order Bubbles can serve as a confluence to look for longs.
The concept behind taking a contrarian approach:
Market Buy Order Bubbles appear above the price and possibly signal the following:
- Short positions being liquidated (exit short = buy order)
- New traders entering late longs based on FOMO (enter long = buy order)
- Smarter traders getting their limit sell orders filled by aggressive buyers/stopped out shorts
⇒ Possible reversal to the downside / short-term pullback / start of ranging price action (PA)
Market Sell Order Bubbles appear below the price and possibly signal the following:
- Long positions being liquidated (exit long = sell order)
- New traders entering late shorts based on FOMO (enter short = sell order)
- Smarter traders getting their limit buy orders filled by aggressive sellers/stopped out longs
⇒ Possible reversal to the upside / short-term pullback / start of the ranging PA
These events are identified and filtered by EMA and STDEV-based "thresholds," which can be modified in the indicator settings.
1. If the buy/sell volume exceeds the first threshold, a Small Bubble is displayed.
2. If the buy/sell volume surpasses the second threshold, a Medium Bubble is displayed.
3. If the buy/sell volume exceeds the third threshold, a Large Bubble is displayed.
Increasing the multipliers effectively increases the threshold for a given bubble to appear, making the conditions for its occurrence more strict.
Decreasing the multipliers effectively decreases the threshold for a given bubble to appear, making the conditions for its occurrence less strict.
Settings Overview
"Bubble Position" - Choose whether the bubbles are displayed above/below the candle, at the candle high/low, or at the intrabar POC of the candle.
"Strength Gradient Color" - This option adjusts the transparency of the bubble's color relative to the volume on that bar.
"Threshold EMA Length" - Choose the length of the EMA used for determining the thresholds.
"Threshold STDEV Length" - Choose the length of the ta.stdev() function used on the EMA.
"Appearance Delay" - This input allows you to delay the appearance of the bubble for x number of bars. The default is 0.
"Show POC" - Show/hide intrabar POCs displayed as "-".
"Timeframe-Adjusted Settings" - Different timeframes might require different parameters. In this section, you can set custom parameters (Lengths and Multipliers) for four different timeframes, and the script will automatically switch to those settings as you browse through different timeframes.
