Advanced Volume Profile Pro Delta + POC + VAH/VAL# Advanced Volume Profile Pro - Delta + POC + VAH/VAL Analysis System
## WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES
This script creates a comprehensive volume profile analysis system that combines traditional volume-at-price distribution with delta volume calculations, Point of Control (POC) identification, and Value Area (VAH/VAL) analysis. Unlike standard volume indicators that show only total volume over time, this script analyzes volume distribution across price levels and estimates buying vs selling pressure using multiple calculation methods to provide deeper market structure insights.
## WHY THIS COMBINATION IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL
**The Problem Solved:** Traditional volume indicators show when volume occurs but not where price finds acceptance or rejection. Standalone volume profiles lack directional bias information, while basic delta calculations don't provide structural context. Traders need to understand both volume distribution AND directional sentiment at key price levels.
**The Solution:** This script implements an integrated approach that:
- Maps volume distribution across price levels using configurable row density
- Estimates delta (buying vs selling pressure) using three different methodologies
- Identifies Point of Control (highest volume price level) for key support/resistance
- Calculates Value Area boundaries where 70% of volume traded
- Provides real-time alerts for key level interactions and volume imbalances
**Unique Features:**
1. **Developing POC Visualization**: Real-time tracking of Point of Control migration throughout the session via blue dotted trail, revealing institutional accumulation/distribution patterns before they complete
2. **Multi-Method Delta Calculation**: Price Action-based, Bid/Ask estimation, and Cumulative methods for different market conditions
3. **Adaptive Timeframe System**: Auto-adjusts calculation parameters based on chart timeframe for optimal performance
4. **Flexible Profile Types**: N Bars Back (precise control), Days Back (calendar-based), and Session-based analysis modes
5. **Advanced Imbalance Detection**: Identifies and highlights significant buying/selling imbalances with configurable thresholds
6. **Comprehensive Alert System**: Monitors POC touches, Value Area entry/exit, and major volume imbalances
## HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS TECHNICALLY
### Core Volume Profile Methodology:
**1. Price Level Distribution:**
- Divides price range into user-defined rows (10-50 configurable)
- Calculates row height: `(Highest Price - Lowest Price) / Number of Rows`
- Distributes each bar's volume across price levels it touched proportionally
**2. Delta Volume Calculation Methods:**
**Price Action Method:**
```
Price Range = High - Low
Buy Pressure = (Close - Low) / Price Range
Sell Pressure = (High - Close) / Price Range
Buy Volume = Total Volume × Buy Pressure
Sell Volume = Total Volume × Sell Pressure
Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
```
**Bid/Ask Estimation Method:**
```
Average Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Buy Volume = Close > Average ? Volume × 0.6 : Volume × 0.4
Sell Volume = Total Volume - Buy Volume
```
**Cumulative Method:**
```
Buy Volume = Close > Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
Sell Volume = Close ≤ Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
```
**3. Point of Control (POC) Identification:**
- Scans all price levels to find maximum volume concentration
- POC represents the price level with highest trading activity
- Acts as significant support/resistance level
- **Developing POC Feature**: Tracks POC evolution in real-time via blue dotted trail, showing how institutional interest migrates throughout the session. Upward POC migration indicates accumulation patterns, downward migration suggests distribution, providing early trend signals before price confirmation.
**4. Value Area Calculation:**
- Starts from POC and expands up/down to encompass 70% of total volume
- VAH (Value Area High): Upper boundary of value area
- VAL (Value Area Low): Lower boundary of value area
- Expansion algorithm prioritizes direction with higher volume
**5. Adaptive Range Selection:**
Based on profile type and timeframe optimization:
- **N Bars Back**: Fixed lookback period with performance optimization (20-500 bars)
- **Days Back**: Calendar-based analysis with automatic timeframe adjustment (1-365 days)
- **Session**: Current trading session or custom session times
### Performance Optimization Features:
- **Sampling Algorithm**: Reduces calculation load on large datasets while maintaining accuracy
- **Memory Management**: Clears previous drawings to prevent performance degradation
- **Safety Constraints**: Prevents excessive memory usage with configurable limits
## HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
### Initial Setup:
1. **Profile Configuration**: Select profile type based on trading style:
- N Bars Back: Precise control over data range
- Days Back: Intuitive calendar-based analysis
- Session: Real-time session development
2. **Row Density**: Set number of rows (30 default) - more rows = higher resolution, slower performance
3. **Delta Method**: Choose calculation method based on market type:
- Price Action: Best for trending markets
- Bid/Ask Estimate: Good for ranging markets
- Cumulative: Smoothed approach for volatile markets
4. **Visual Settings**: Configure colors, position (left/right), and display options
### Reading the Profile:
**Volume Bars:**
- **Length**: Represents relative volume at that price level
- **Color**: Green = net buying pressure, Red = net selling pressure
- **Intensity**: Darker colors indicate volume imbalances above threshold
**Key Levels:**
- **POC (Blue Line)**: Highest volume price - major support/resistance
- **VAH (Purple Dashed)**: Value Area High - upper boundary of fair value
- **VAL (Orange Dashed)**: Value Area Low - lower boundary of fair value
- **Value Area Fill**: Shaded region showing main trading range
**Developing POC Trail:**
- **Blue Dotted Lines**: Show real-time POC evolution throughout the session
- **Migration Patterns**: Upward trail indicates bullish accumulation, downward trail suggests bearish distribution
- **Early Signals**: POC movement often precedes price movement, providing advance warning of institutional activity
- **Institutional Footprints**: Reveals where smart money concentrated volume before final POC establishment
### Trading Applications:
**Support/Resistance Analysis:**
- POC acts as magnetic price level - expect reactions
- VAH/VAL provide intermediate support/resistance levels
- Profile edges show areas of low volume acceptance
**Developing POC Analysis:**
- **Upward Migration**: POC moving higher = institutional accumulation, bullish bias
- **Downward Migration**: POC moving lower = institutional distribution, bearish bias
- **Stable POC**: Tight clustering = balanced market, range-bound conditions
- **Early Trend Detection**: POC direction change often precedes price breakouts
**Entry Strategies:**
- Buy at VAL with POC as target (in uptrends)
- Sell at VAH with POC as target (in downtrends)
- Breakout plays above/below profile extremes
**Volume Imbalance Trading:**
- Strong buying imbalance (>60% threshold) suggests continued upward pressure
- Strong selling imbalance suggests continued downward pressure
- Imbalances near key levels provide high-probability setups
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- Use higher timeframe profiles for major levels
- Lower timeframe profiles for precise entries
- Session profiles for intraday trading structure

Buy & Sell Volume (OWI)📊 Buy & Sell Volume (OWI) Indicator Guide
The Buy & Sell Volume (OWI) indicator is designed to provide a visual breakdown of buying and selling pressure in each candle, helping traders identify volume surges and potential market moves. It also includes a time filter to focus analysis during key trading hours.
⚙️ Setup & Inputs
When adding the indicator to your chart, you'll see several configurable inputs:
SMA Length : Sets the period for the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of total volume.
Enable Time Filter : Toggles whether to restrict analysis to US market hours (Eastern Time). |
Start Hour/Minute : Defines the beginning of the time filter window (default: 9:45 ET). |
End Hour/Minute : Defines the end of the time filter window (default: 16:15 ET). |
📈 How It Works
🔍 Volume Breakdown
Buy Volume: Estimated volume attributed to buyers, calculated based on candle position.
Sell Volume: Estimated volume attributed to sellers.
Total Volume SMA: A moving average of total volume to benchmark current activity.
⏰ Time Filter (Optional)
When enabled, the indicator only highlights volume spikes during the specified US market hours. This helps filter out noise from pre-market or after-hours trading.
🚨 Highlight Conditions
The indicator flags significant volume spikes with labels above the volume bars:
| Label | Condition |
| V+ | Volume is between 1.5× and 2× the SMA, during market hours (if enabled). |
| V++ | Volume exceeds 2× the SMA, during market hours (if enabled). |
💡 Tips
- Use shorter SMA lengths for more reactive volume analysis.
- Change the time filter if you're trading outside US market hours.
- Combine with candlestick patttern to confirm breakout or reversal signals.

Volume Statistics - IntraweekVolume Statistics - Intraweek: For Orderflow Traders
This tool is designed for traders using volume footprint charts and orderflow methods.
Why it matters:
In orderflow trading, you care about the quality of volume behind each move. You’re not just watching price; you’re watching how much aggression is behind that price move. That’s where this indicator helps.
What to look at:
* Current Volume shows you how much volume is trading right now.
* Central Volume (median or average over 24h or 7D) gives you a baseline for what's normal volume VS abnormal volume.
* The Diff vs Central tells you immediately if current volume is above or below normal.
How this helps:
* If volume is above normal, it suggested elevated levels of buyer or seller aggression. Look for strong follow-through or continuation.
* If volume is below normal, it may signal low interest, passive participation, a lack of conviction, or a fake move.
* Use this context to decide if what you're seeing in the footprint (imbalances, absorption, traps) is actually worth acting on.
Extra context:
* The highest and lowest volume levels and their timestamps help you spot prior key reactions.
* Second and third highest bars help you see other major effort points in the recent window.

Previous VWAP Levels by Riotwolftrading The "Previous VWAP" indicator calculates and displays the previous session's Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for five timeframes (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly).
Each VWAP is plotted as a horizontal line extending to the right edge of the chart, with customizable labels at the right to identify each level. The indicator is designed for traders who want to visualize key price levels from prior periods without cluttering the chart with current VWAPs or additional metrics like standard deviations.
**Functionality**:
- **Calculates Previous VWAPs**: Computes the VWAP for the previous session of each timeframe (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly) based on the input source (default: `hlc3`) and volume.
- **Visual Style** : Uses `line.new` to draw horizontal lines from five bars back to the current bar, ensuring the lines extend to the right edge of the chart. Labels are placed at the right edge using `label.new` for clear identification.
- **Customization** : Allows users to toggle visibility, adjust line styles, widths, colors, and label sizes, and choose between abbreviated or full label text.
- **Minimalist Design**: Focuses solely on previous VWAPs, omitting current VWAPs, rolling VWAPs, and standard deviation bands to keep the chart clean.
**Intended Use**: This indicator is useful for traders who rely on historical VWAP levels as support/resistance or reference points for trading decisions, particularly in strategies involving mean reversion or breakout trading.
---
### Rules and Features
*VWAP Calculation**:
- The VWAP is calculated as the cumulative sum of price (`src`) multiplied by volume (`sumSrcVol`) divided by the cumulative volume (`sumVol`) for each timeframe.
- The "previous VWAP" is the VWAP value from the prior session, captured when a new session begins (e.g., new day, week, month, etc.).
- The indicator uses the `hlc3` (average of high, low, close) as the default source, but users can modify this in the settings.
**Timeframes**:
- **Daily**: Previous day's VWAP.
- **Weekly**: Previous week's VWAP.
- **Monthly**: Previous month's VWAP.
- **Quarterly**: Previous quarter's VWAP (3 months).
- **Yearly**: Previous year's VWAP (12 months).
- New sessions are detected using `ta.change(time(period))` for each timeframe.
**Line Drawing**:
- Lines are drawn using `line.new` from `time ` (five bars back) to the current bar (`time`), ensuring they extend to the right edge of the chart.
- Lines are updated only on the last confirmed bar (`barstate.islast`) to optimize performance and avoid repainting.
- Previous lines are deleted (`line.delete`) to prevent overlapping or clutter.
**Labels**:
- Labels are drawn at the right edge (`x=time`, `xloc=xloc.bar_time`) with `label.new`.
- Users can choose between abbreviated labels (e.g., "pvD" for Previous Daily VWAP) or full labels (e.g., "Prev Daily VWAP").
- Label sizes are customizable (`tiny`, `small`, `normal`, `large`, `huge`).
- Labels are deleted (`label.delete`) on each update to maintain a clean chart.
5. **Customization Options**:
- **Visibility**: Toggle each VWAP (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly) on or off.
- **Colors**: Individual color settings for each VWAP line and label (default colors: Daily=#E12D7B, Weekly=#F67B52, Monthly=#EDCD3B, Quarterly=#3BBC54, Yearly=#2665BD).
- **Line Style**: Choose from `solid`, `dotted`, or `dashed` lines.
- **Line Width**: Adjustable from 1 to 4 pixels.
- **Label Settings**: Enable/disable labels, abbreviate text, and select label size.
- **Source**: Customize the price source (default: `hlc3`).
**Performance Optimization**:
- The indicator only updates lines and labels on the last confirmed bar to minimize computational overhead.
- Uses `var` to initialize variables and avoid unnecessary recalculations.
- Deletes previous lines and labels to prevent chart clutter.

### Usage Instructions
1. **Add to Chart**:
- In TradingView, go to the Pine Editor, paste the script, and click "Add to Chart."
- The indicator will overlay on the price chart, showing previous VWAP lines and labels.
2. **Configure Settings**:
- Open the indicator settings to customize:
- Toggle visibility of each VWAP timeframe.
- Adjust colors, line style, and width.
- Enable/disable labels, choose abbreviation, and set label size.
- Modify the source if needed (e.g., use `close` instead of `hlc3`).
3. **Interpretation**:
- **Previous VWAPs**: Act as dynamic support/resistance levels based on the prior session's volume-weighted price.
- **Timeframes**: Use shorter timeframes (Daily, Weekly) for intraday/swing trading, and longer timeframes (Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly) for positional trading.
- **Labels**: Identify each VWAP level at the right edge of the chart for quick reference.
4. **Best Practices**:
- Use on charts with sufficient volume data, as VWAP relies on volume (a warning is triggered if no volume data is available).
- Combine with other indicators (e.g., moving averages, RSI) for confirmation in trading strategies.
- Adjust line styles and colors to avoid visual overlap with other chart elements.
---
### Example Use Case
A trader using a 1-hour chart can add the "Previous VWAP" indicator to identify key levels from the prior day, week, or month. For example:
- The Previous Daily VWAP might act as a support level for a bullish trend.
- The Previous Weekly VWAP could serve as a target for a swing trade.
- Labels at the right edge make it easy to identify these levels without cluttering the chart.
This indicator provides a clean, customizable way to visualize previous VWAPs, making it ideal for traders who want historical price context with minimal chart noise. For the complete Pine Script code, refer to the artifact provided in the previous response.
JHW Volume Based Buy and Sell MomentumThe JHW Volume-Based Buy and Sell Momentum indicator is a custom momentum oscillator designed to capture market sentiment based on volume dynamics and price rate of change (ROC). It aims to identify bullish or bearish momentum by analyzing how price reacts to increasing or decreasing trading volume.
Core Logic:
The indicator calculates the Rate of Change (ROC) of the closing price.
It then accumulates this ROC separately based on whether the current volume is lower or higher than the previous bar:
If volume decreases, the ROC is added to a "negative volume index" accumulator.
If volume increases, the ROC is added to a "positive volume index" accumulator.
These two accumulators are combined to form a net momentum line.
Smoothing:
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to both accumulators over a user-defined period (default: 25 bars).
The sum of these smoothed values forms the signal line.
Visualization:
The indicator plots:
The net momentum line (yellow).
The smoothed signal line (blue).
The area between the two lines is filled with color:
Yellow when momentum is above the signal (bullish).
Blue when momentum is below the signal (bearish).
Bar colors are also adjusted to reflect the current momentum state.
Use Case:
This indicator helps traders:
Detect volume-driven momentum shifts.
Identify potential buy or sell zones based on volume behavior.
Confirm trends or spot early reversals.
Volume-Based Candle ShadingThe Volume Shading indicator dynamically adjusts the color brightness of each price bar based on relative volume levels. It helps traders quickly identify whether a candle formed on low, average, or high volume without needing to reference a separate volume pane.
Candles are shaded dynamically as they form, so you can watch volume flow into them in real time. This indicator is designed to be as minimally intrusive as possible, allowing you to visualize volume levels without extra clutter on your charts.
The additional volume indicator in the preview above is there just for a point of reference to allow you to see how the shading on the bars correlates to the volume.
⸻
SETTINGS:
Bullish and bearish base colors — These serve as the midpoint (average volume) for shading.
Brightness mapping direction — Optionally invert the shading so that either high volume appears darker or lighter.
Volume smoothing length — Defines how many bars are averaged to determine what constitutes “normal” volume.
Candles with volume above average will appear darker or lighter depending on user preference, while those with average volume will be painted the chosen colors, giving an intuitive gradient that enhances volume awareness directly on the chart.
⸻
USES:
Confirming price action: Highlight when breakout candles or reversal bars occur with high relative volume, strengthening signal conviction.
Spotting low-volume moves: Identify candles that lack volume support, potentially signaling weak continuation or false breakouts.
Enhancing visual analysis: Overlay volume dynamics directly onto price bars, reducing screen clutter and aiding faster decision-making.
Custom visual workflows: Adapt the visual behavior of candles to your trading style by choosing color direction and base tones.

Time-Specific Volume AverageA volume indicator based on historic volume.
Checks for the average volume in the past few days at the same time of day. This helps you determine when there is truly volume in the markets.
We will see often see sustained volume above the average during a clear trend. If you see spikes in volume without it being sustained above the average, it is very likely that the trend will die off quickly.
This is very helpful in determining whether to trade based on a trend following system, or a range based system.
Settings are below:
Days to average: Number of days to look back(tradingview has limits depending on your plan)
SMA Length: Number of "volume averages" to look at. Keep this at 1 if you want the average volume at the exact moment in the day. If you increase it, will also average in the past few candles of "volume averages".
SMA Multiplier: Multiplies the SMA by this amount(helps to get higher quality trends)
Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL)Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL) is a powerful tool designed for intraday traders who want to quickly identify key areas of interest based on relative volume activity.

VWAP Adaptive (RelVol-Adjusted)This indicator provides an Adaptive VWAP that adjusts volume weighting using RelVol (Relative Volume at Time), offering a more accurate and context-aware price reference during sessions with irregular volume behavior.
Classic VWAP calculates the average price weighted by raw volume, without considering the time of day. This becomes a serious limitation during major market events such as CPI releases, FOMC announcements, NFP, or large-cap earnings. These events often trigger massive volume spikes within one or two candles. As a result, the classic VWAP gets pulled toward those extreme prices and becomes permanently skewed for the rest of the session.
In such conditions, classic VWAP becomes unreliable. It no longer reflects fair value and often misleads traders relying on it for dynamic support, resistance, or reversion signals.
This Adaptive VWAP improves on that by using RelVol, which compares the current volume to the average volume seen at the same time over previous sessions. It gives more weight to price when volume is typical for that moment, and adjusts the influence when volume is statistically abnormal. This reduces the impact of isolated volume spikes and stabilizes the VWAP path, even in high-volatility environments.
For example, on SPY 1-minute or 5-minute charts during a CPI release, a massive spike in volume and price can occur within a single candle. Classic VWAP will immediately anchor itself to that spike. Adaptive VWAP using RelVol softens that effect and maintains a more realistic trajectory.
Key features:
- Adaptive VWAP weighted by time-adjusted Relative Volume (RelVol)
- Designed to maintain VWAP reliability during macroeconomic events
- Flexible anchoring: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Earnings, etc.
- Optional display of Classic VWAP for comparison
- Up to 3 customizable deviation bands (standard deviation or percentage)
This tool is ideal for intraday traders who need a VWAP that remains usable and unbiased, even in volatile sessions. It adds robustness to VWAP-based strategies by incorporating time-sensitive volume normalization.

Rogue ORB PRORogue ORB Pro is a precision-engineered Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator built for active intraday traders who need real signals, not noise.
This tool identifies high-probability breakout entries from the opening range, enhanced with optional ATR-based stop loss levels, deviation targets, cooldown filters, and a relative volume gate to filter weak setups.
🔍 Key Features:
Opening Range High/Low: Drawn from a user-defined time window and locked for the day
Deviations: Automatically plots target zones above and below the OR range (e.g. 1, 2 deviations)
Pre-Market Levels: Automatically draws pre market high and low lines at the end of pre market session
Buy/Sell Signals: Triggered on breakout of the OR High/Low with configurable breakout logic (touch or close)
ATR Stop Loss Line: Dynamically drawn at a fixed ATR distance from breakout candle, with optional SL label
Cooldown Period: Prevents back-to-back signals by enforcing a user-defined bar delay between entries, can help with overtrading
Volume Filter: Optional relative volume filter that requires breakout candles to exceed a custom volume threshold
VWAP Overlay: Visual VWAP for directional bias and confluence
RVOL Effort Matrix💪🏻 RVOL Effort Matrix is a tiered volume framework that translates crowd participation into structure-aware visual zones. Rather than simply flagging spikes, it measures each bar’s volume as a ratio of its historical average and assigns to that effort dynamic tiers, creating a real-time map of conviction , exhaustion , and imbalance —before price even confirms.
⚖️ At its core, the tool builds a histogram of relative volume (RVOL). When enabled, a second layer overlays directional effort by estimating buy vs sell volume using candle body logic. If the candle closes higher, green (buy) volume dominates. If it closes lower, red (sell) volume leads. These components are stacked proportionally and inset beneath a colored cap line—a small but powerful layer that maintains visibility of the true effort tier even when split bars are active. The cap matches the original zone color, preserving context at all times.
Coloration communicates rhythm, tempo, and potential turning points:
• 🔴 = structurally weak effort, i.e. failed moves, fake-outs or trend exhaustion
• 🟡 = neutral volume, as seen in consolidations or pullbacks
• 🟢 = genuine commitment, good for continuation, breakout filters, or early rotation signals
• 🟣 = explosive volume signaling either climax or institutional entry—beware!
Background shading (optional) mirrors these zones across the pane for structural scanning at a glance. Volume bars can be toggled between full-stack mode or clean column view. Every layer is modular—built for composability with tools like ZVOL or OBVX Conviction Bias.
🧐 Ideal Use-Cases:
• 🕰 HTF bias anchoring → LTF execution
• 🧭 Identifying when structure is being driven by real crowd pressure
• 🚫 Fading green/fuchsia bars that fail to break structure
• ✅ Riding green/fuchsia follow-through in directional moves
🍷 Recommended Pairings:
• ZVOL for statistically significant volume anomaly detection
• OBVX Conviction Bias ↔️ for directional confirmation of effort zones
• SUPeR TReND 2.718 for structure-congruent entry filtering
• ATR Turbulence Ribbon to distinguish expansion pressure from churn
🥁 RVOL Effort Matrix is all about seeing—how much pressure is behind a move, whether that pressure is sustainable, and whether the crowd is aligned with price. It's volume, but readable. It’s structure, but dynamic. It’s the difference between obeying noise and trading to the beat of the market.
Triple EMA + Volume/Price SignalsOverview
This script merges three exponential moving averages (EMA) with adaptive volume thresholds to identify high-confidence trends. Unlike basic volume indicators, it triggers signals only when volume exceeds both a user-defined absolute value (e.g., 500k) and a percentage increase (e.g., 5%) – reducing noise in volatile markets.
Key Features
Triple EMA System:
Short (9), Medium (21), and Long (50) EMAs for trend direction.
Bullish Signal: Short EMA > Medium EMA > Long EMA.
Bearish Signal: Short EMA < Medium EMA < Long EMA.
Dual-Threshold Volume Confirmation:
Absolute Volume: Highlight bars where volume exceeds X (e.g., 500,000).
Percentage Increase: Highlight bars where volume rises by Y% (e.g., 5%) vs. prior bar.
Users can enable/disable either threshold.
Customizable Alerts:
Trigger alerts only when both EMA alignment and volume conditions are met.
How It Works
Trend + Volume Synergy:
A bullish EMA crossover alone might be a false breakout. This script requires additional volume confirmation (e.g., 500k volume + 5% spike) to validate the move.
Flexibility: Adjust thresholds for different assets:
Stocks: Higher absolute volume (e.g., 1M shares).
Crypto: Smaller absolute volume but larger % spikes (e.g., 10%).
Usage Examples
Swing Trading:
Set EMA lengths to 20/50/200 and volume thresholds to 500k + 5% on daily charts.
Scalping:
Use 5/13/21 EMAs with 100k volume + 3% spikes on 5-minute charts.
Premarket VolumeTimeframe: Use on intraday charts (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute) with extended hours enabled.
Behavior: The plot will appear at 4:00 AM, grow as volume accumulates, and disappear at 9:30 AM each day.
Relative Volume at TimeThe Relative Volume at Time indicator (RVOL) is a simple modification of the original Relative Volume at Time script available in TradingView’s public library. It doesn’t change how the indicator works but includes two small adjustments:
Added Color Options – The ability to customize the colors of the volume bars, which was important to me as I use this indicator all the time and wanted more visually suitable colors.
Renamed Short Title – The abbreviation "RVOL" replaces "RelVol", as it's a more commonly used term in trading.
Aside from these small tweaks, the indicator retains all of its original functionality, including the ability to set an anchor timeframe, choose between Regular and Cumulative volume calculation modes, and adjust unconfirmed volume for incomplete bars.
This version exists simply because I needed a more personalized display for an indicator that I rely on daily.
How It Works
The Relative Volume at Time indicator compares the current volume to the average volume at the same time in previous sessions. This helps determine if today’s activity is higher or lower than usual.
Examples
On a daily chart (1D timeframe, length = 10), each volume bar compares today's volume to the average volume at the same time over the last 10 days. If today’s volume is higher than usual at this moment, the bar will reflect that.
On an hourly chart (1H timeframe, length = 5), each hourly volume bar compares the current hour’s volume to the same hour in the past 5 days. If the 10 AM bar is high, it means today's 10 AM volume is greater than the average of the past 5 sessions at 10 AM.
On a weekly chart (1W timeframe, length = 8), the indicator compares this week’s volume to the average of the last 8 weeks. A higher bar means this week is seeing significantly more volume than usual.
This logic applies to any timeframe. It always compares the current volume to past volumes at the same point in time.

Valorous VolumesIndicator to mark the significant Volumes:
HVE: Checks if the current volume sets a new overall record.
HVY: Checks if the current volume equals the highest volume over the past one year.
HVQ: Checks if the current volume equals the highest volume over the past three months.
