Intrabar Volume Delta — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)Intrabar Volume Delta Grid — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)
# Short Description
Shows intrabar Up/Down volume, Delta (absolute/relative) and UpShare% in a compact grid for both real-time and historical bars. Includes an MTF (M1…D1) dashboard, contextual coloring, density controls, and alerts on Δ and UpShare%. Smart historical splitting (“History Mode”) for Crypto/Futures/FX.
---
# What it does (Quick)
* **UpVol / DownVol / Δ / UpShare%** — visualizes order-flow inside each candle.
* **Real-time** — accumulates intrabar volume live by tick-direction.
* **History Mode** — splits Up/Down on closed bars via simple or range-aware logic.
* **MTF Dashboard** — one table view across M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 (Vol, Up/Down, Δ%, Share, Trend).
* **Contextual opacity** — stronger signals appear bolder.
* **Label density** — draw every N-th bar and limit to last X bars for performance.
* **Alerts** — thresholds for |Δ|, Δ%, and UpShare%.
---
# How it works (Real-Time vs History)
* **Real-time (open bar):** volume increments into **UpVolRT** or **DownVolRT** depending on last price move (↑ goes to Up, ↓ to Down). This approximates live order-flow even when full tick history isn’t available.
* **History (closed bars):**
* **None** — no split (Up/Down = 0/0). Safest for equities/indices with unreliable tick history.
* **Approx (Close vs Open)** — all volume goes to candle direction (green → Up 100%, red → Down 100%). Fast but yields many 0/100% bars.
* **Price Action Based** — splits by Close position within High-Low range; strength = |Close−mid|/(High−Low). Above mid → more Up; below mid → more Down. Falls back to direction if High==Low.
* **Auto** — **Stocks/Index → None**, **Crypto/Futures/FX → Approx**. If you see too many 0/100 bars, switch to **Price Action Based**.
---
# Rows & Meaning
* **Volume** — total bar volume (no split).
* **UpVol / DownVol** — directional intrabar volume.
* **Delta (Δ)** — UpVol − DownVol.
* **Absolute**: raw units
* **Relative (Δ%)**: Δ / (Up+Down) × 100
* **Both**: shows both formats
* **UpShare%** — UpVol / (Up+Down) × 100. >50% bullish, <50% bearish.
* Helpful icons: ▲ (>65%), ▼ (<35%).
---
# MTF Dashboard (🔧 Enable Dashboard)
A single table with **Vol, Up, Down, Δ%, Share, Trend (🔼/🔽/⏭️)** for selected timeframes (M1…D1). Great for a fast “panorama” read of flow alignment across horizons.

# How to use (Quick Start)
1. Add the indicator to your chart (overlay=false → separate pane).
2. **History Mode**:
* Crypto/Futures/FX → keep **Auto** or switch to **Price Action Based** for richer history.
* Stocks/Index → prefer **None** or **Price Action Based** for safer splits.
3. **Label Density**: start with **Limit to last X bars = 30–150** and **Show every N-th bar = 2–4**.
4. **Contextual Coloring**: keep on to emphasize strong Δ% / Share moves.
5. **Dashboard**: enable and pick only the TFs you actually use.
6. **Alerts**: set thresholds (ideas below).
---
# Alerts (in TradingView)
Add alert → pick this indicator → choose any of:
* **Delta exceeds threshold** (|Δ| > X)
* **UpShare above threshold** (UpShare% > X)
* **UpShare below threshold** (UpShare% < X)
* **Relative Delta above +X%**
* **Relative Delta below −X%**
**Starter thresholds (tune per symbol & TF):**
* **Crypto M1/M5**: Δ% > +25…35 (bullish), Δ% < −25…−35 (bearish)
* **FX (tick volume)**: UpShare > 60–65% or < 40–35%
* **Stocks (liquid)**: set **Absolute Δ** by typical volume scale (e.g., 50k / 100k / 500k)
---
# Notes by Market Type
* **Crypto/Futures**: 24/7 and high liquidity — **Price Action Based** often gives nicer history splits than Approx.
* **Forex (FX)**: TradingView volume is typically **tick volume** (not true exchange volume). Treat Δ/Share as tick-based flow, still very useful intraday.
* **Stocks/Index**: historical tick detail can be limited. **None** or **Price Action Based** is a safer default. If you see too many 0/100% shares, switch away from Approx.
---
# “All Timeframes” accuracy
* Works on **any TF** (M1 → D1/W1).
* **Real-time accuracy** is strong for the open bar (live accumulation).
* **Historical accuracy** depends on your **History Mode** (None = safest, Approx = fastest/simplest, Price Action Based = more nuanced).
* The MTF dashboard uses `request.security` and therefore follows the same logic per TF.
---
# Trade Ideas (Use-Cases)
* **Scalping (M1–M5)**: a spike in Δ% + UpShare>65% + rising total Vol → momentum entries.
* **Intraday (M5–M30–H1)**: when multiple TFs show aligned Δ%/Share (e.g., M5 & M15 bullish), join the trend.
* **Swing (H4–D1)**: persistent Δ% > 0 and UpShare > 55–60% → structural accumulation bias.
---
# Advantages
* **True-feeling live flow** on the open bar.
* **Adaptable history** (three modes) to match data quality.
* **Clean visual layout** with guides, compact numbers, contextual opacity.
* **MTF snapshot** for quick bias read.
* **Performance controls** (last X bars, every N-th bar).
---
# Limitations & Care
* **FX uses tick volume** — interpret Δ/Share accordingly.
* **History Mode is an approximation** — confirm with trend/structure/liquidity context.
* **Illiquid symbols** can produce noisy or contradictory signals.
* **Too many labels** can slow charts → raise N, lower X, or disable guides.
---
# Best Practices (Checklist)
* Crypto/Futures: prefer **Price Action Based** for history.
* Stocks: **None** or **Price Action Based**; be cautious with **Approx**.
* FX: pair Δ% & UpShare% with session context (London/NY) and volatility.
* If labels overlap: tweak **Row Spacing** and **Text Size**.
* In the dashboard, keep only the TFs you actually act on.
* Alerts: start around **Δ% 25–35** for “punchy” moves, then refine per asset.

# FAQ
**1) Why do some closed bars show 0%/100% UpShare?**
You’re on **Approx** history mode. Switch to **Price Action Based** for smoother splits.
**2) Δ% looks strong but price doesn’t move — why?**
Δ% is an **order-flow** measure. Price also depends on liquidity pockets, sessions, news, higher-timeframe structure. Use confirmations.
**3) Performance slowdown — what to do?**
Lower **Limit to last X bars** (e.g., 30–100), increase **Show every N-th bar** (2–6), or disable **Draw Guide Lines**.
**4) Dashboard values don’t “match” the grid exactly?**
Dashboard is multi-TF via `request.security` and follows the history logic per TF. Differences are normal.

Bullish Candlestick Patterns With Filters [TradeDots]The "Bullish Candlestick Patterns With Filters" is a trading indicator that identifies 6 core bullish candlestick patterns. This is further enhanced by applying channel indicator as filters, designed to further increase the accuracy of the recognized patterns.
6 CANDLESTICK PATTERNS
Hammer
Inverted Hammer
Bullish Engulfing
The Piercing Line
The Morning Star
The 3 White Soldiers
SIGNAL FILTERING
The indicator incorporates with 2 primary methodologies aimed at filtering out lower accuracy signals.
Firstly, it comes with a "Lowest period" parameter that examines whether the trough of the bullish candlestick configuration signifies the lowest point within a specified retrospective bar length. The longer the period, the higher the probability that the price will rebound.
Secondly, the channel indicators, the Keltner Channels or Bollinger Bands. This indicator examines whether the lowest point of the bullish candlestick pattern breaches the lower band, indicating an oversold signal. Users have the flexibility to modify the length and band multiplier, enabling them to custom-tune signal sensitivity.

Higher Time Frame {HTF} Candles [QuantVue]Introducing the Higher Time Frame {HTF} Candles from QuantVue!
This script was developed to help you visually emphasize higher time frame (HTF) candles.
Higher time frames reduce the 'noise' inherent in lower time frames, providing a clearer, more accurate picture of the market's movements.
By examining higher time frames, you can better identify trends, reversals, and key areas of support and resistance.
The Higher Time Frame Candles indicator overlays higher time frame data directly onto your current chart.
You can easily specify the higher time frame candles you'd like to view, and the indicator will overlay the higher time frame candles directly over the corresponding current time frame bars.
This indicator by default will display the most current higher time frame candle plus the previous 5 candles.
Give this indicator a BOOST and COMMENT your thoughts!

Volume-Blended Candlesticks [QuantVue]Introducing the Volume-Blended Candlestick Indicator, a powerful tool that seamlessly integrates volume information with candlesticks, providing you with a comprehensive view of market dynamics in a single glance.
The Volume-Blended Candlestick Indicator employs a unique approach of projecting volume totals by calculating the total volume traded per second and comparing it to the time left in the session as well as the historical average length selected by the user.
The indicator then dynamically adjusts the opacity of the candlestick colors based on the intensity of the projected volume. As volume intensifies, the candlestick colors become more pronounced, while low volume will cause colors to fade allowing you to visually perceive the level of buying or selling.
One of the standout features of the Volume-Blended Candlestick Indicator is its ability to identify pocket pivots. A pocket pivot is an up day with volume greater than any of the down days volume in the past 10 days. By highlighting these pocket pivots on your chart, the indicator helps you identify potential stealth accumulation.
In addition to blending volume with candlesticks and spotting pocket pivots, this versatile indicator provides you with an insightful table displaying key volume metrics. The table includes the average volume, average dollar volume, and the up-down volume ratio, allowing you to get a clear picture of buying and selling pressure.
Settings Include:
🔹Sensitivty Level: Normal, More, Less
🔹Volume MA Length
🔹Toggle Color based on previous close
🔹Show or hide volume info
🔹Chose candlestick colors
🔹Show or hide pocket pivots
🔹Show or hide volume info table

M.Right Candlestick Patterns & Bulkowski Percentages 1.0Hello Traders!
As a fan of Bulkowski, I figured I'd release this for everyone's benefit as well.
The legendary candlestick pattern expert, Thomas Bulkowski, has over 35 years of trading and analysis experience and is the absolute go-to expert when it comes to candlestick pattern identification.
Bulkowski Candlestick Percentages from his site and books.
Source: Built in "All Candlestick Patterns"
In this version,
--> Added 8 Candles and removed some that are statistically insignificant and others that Bulkowski doesn't use (can add back if requested).
--> Added 2 Colors for Bullish and Bearish Continuations.
----> Assigned Colors Tested performance to Continuations.
--> Built-in Variables and Candles adjusted slightly to conform to Bulkowski pattern principles.
--> Moved inputs back to ABC order.
--> Decided to leave the theoretical performance positioning for the signal (i.e. Top for theoretically bearish ). However..
----> I adjusted the signal color to match Bulkowski's tested performance.
--> Removed Plot Close (obsolete)
--> Hover over signal to see both Theoretical and Tested Performance.
Figured I'd help give an edge to the @TradingView Community like so many before me have been able to.
Please feel free to add comments, share insight, and of course, like!
Cheers,
Mike
Blended CandlesHave been looking at YouTube and found a few videos about Blended Candles. Couldn't find a script here so I decided to script something myself.
I have also added a couple of EMA's, saves having to put them in individually.
You can Look Back as far back as you want but I find that each time frame looks better if you keep it to multiple of the next
IE : 1 min - look back 5 (5 min) up to 15 (15 min)
5 min - look back 3 (15 min) up to 12 (1 hour)
15 min - look back 4 (1 hour) up to 16 ( 4 hours)
1 hour - look back 4 (4 hours) up to 8 (8 hours - 1 trading session)
4 hour - look back 2 (8 hours - 1 trading session) up to 6 ( 1 Day)
1 day - look back 5 ( 1 week)
Shooting stars, Hammers and Doji's are very easy to recognize
Long wicks on top - Bearish
Long wick on bottom - Bullish
Support and Resistance is easier to spot as well :-)
Hope this helps someone - defiantly helps me time entries
Comments welcome and Happy Trading

Candlestick Signals StrategyThis strategy allows you to pick from 9 different candlestick patterns, and test them against historical data from your chart. You can get a good idea what patterns work best for each chart by turning each pattern on and off in the settings.
Basic Hammer StrategyThis is a basic strategy that will buy after a hammer is printed, and sell when a predetermined risk or reward price is hit. You can change the risk and reward values in the settings. Risk and reward values are in increments of $0.01. Default values are 75 ($0.75) and 200 ($2.00). If the strategy is producing losses, try adding a zero to the end of the risk value and the reward value. Example: Higher valued stocks may do better with a Risk of 750 ($7.50) and a Reward of 2000 ($20.00). Maybe even a Risk of 750 ($7.50) and reward of 1000 ($10.00). Play around with these values to get the best result for different charts. Initial investment is set to $1000
