Simple Momentum Strategy Based on SMA, EMA and VolumeA simple, non short selling (long positions only, i.e. buy low and sell high) strategy. Strategy makes use of simple SMA, EMA and Volume indicators to attempt to enter the market at the most optimum time (i.e. when momentum and price are moving upwards). Optimum time is defined mainly by picking best timing for price moves higher based on upwards momentum.
This script is targeted / meant for an average/typical trader or investor. This is why a non short selling approach was selected for optimisation for this strategy because "typpical", "average" traders and investors usually use basic (i.e. minimum fees / free membership) exchanges that would not usually offer short selling functionality (at least without additional fees). The assumption used here is that only advanced and sophisticated traders and investors would pay for advanced trading platforms that enable short selling, have a risk appetite for short selling and thus use short selling as a strategy.
The results of the strategy are:
In an overall roughly bearish market (backward testing from beginning to end of 2018) i.e. the market immediately following the highs of around 20k USD per BTC, this strategy made a loss of £3231 USD on trades of a maximum of 1 BTC per long position.
But in an overall bullish market, it makes a profit of about $6800 USD from beginning of 2019 onwards by trading a maximum of 1 BTC per long position.
NOTE: All trading involves high risk. Most strategies use past performance and behaviour as indicators of future performance and that is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations too. One limitation is that unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading and since the trades have not actually been executed, the results of those trades themselves do not have any influence on actual market results, which in real life they would have had (no matter how minor). Additionally, simulated results may have under or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also, by their nature, designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

Normalized Accumulation/Distribution OscillatorThis is the oscillator version of the Accumulation/Distribution volume indicator. The oscillator is normalized by n-period volume moving sum. The value oscillates between 1 and -1. One way to use this oscillator is to identify the divergence between price and oscillator reading in trending market, and to spot potential reversal.
EASY SYSTEM v1So here I try to make the easy system better using different scripts
I keep the donchian % channel from easy first version --this good for setting your take profit or your stop loss use it wisely
I add the top and bottom finder - here I advise to use also another indicator to verify the spots , the last one always be the bottom but in dump it will show few bottom until it find the true bottom
I add bullish area zone and bearish area zone with colors which is optional if you want to see the trend that you are now
add pivot system with MTF for also helping to see the tops and the bottom
I suggest you to add linear channel of 200 length on top it so it will be more easy to see where the asset is going
Also see the volumes (I have many volumes indicators or any volume indicator of your choice
your Aim is to buy the lowest - and sell the highest so patience sometime can save you allot of money
most of mistakes is because we want to win and we enter either too early or too late .
Colored Volume Bars All Markets: Combining Volume SourcesUsing volume in Forex is potentially misleading as we are only provided the broker volume or futures exchange volume for the currency or commodity in a decentralised market. This code combines the volumes from FXCM, Onanda and futures for the instrument being studied. The combination of the volumes could improve the reliability of the volume being considered. Using this approach other volume indicators can also be improved.
Simple TrenderOriginates from:
I was reading some Impulse Trading literature by A. Elder.. In it, someone named Kerry Lovvorn proposed "An End of Day Trend Following System" for someone lazy.
Originally it is just price closing above an 8 ema (low) for long. Exit when price closes below an 8 ema (low). The opposite for a short position.
Conditions: Buy when price closed below ema (low) for two bars or more, then closes above. Opposite for a short position. I do not follow this condition. Though it may help with whipsaw.
My condition is when price closes above the 26 ema (low) (works the best for me) I place orders above the initial crossing bars high. Opposite for lows.
I look for stocks that are low in price to go long on. I want the run from 2's to 15's
I look for stocks that are mid-teens/20's in price to go short on. I want the run from 20's to 2's
I look for stock with news and earnings that are already running (up or down) to play the pullback.
These conditions can easily be scanned for on thinkorswim
From first glance, the system looks like CMsling shotsystem. Although, I plagiarized some parts of the codes, because I am inept when it comes to that shit, it differs as it is not a moving average crossover system.
It is a price crossing over concept. A moving average VWAP is used for best entries on pullbacks.
Purpose:
--To catch the majority of a trend/wave/run.
--To identify pullback areas to go long or short while in midst of trend. To catch pullbacks off news and earning runners.
--To catch the initial start of trend with clear rules to enter
--Clear rules to exit
Issues
--possibilities of getting ninja sliced the fuck up. Can be mitigated by entering stocks with decent average volume. And also only going long above 200 ema and short below it. ADX won't work, at the initial start of the trend it will show not trending. Can look at blow off volume at the bottom followed by increase in buying for long and vice versa for short.
--Can give some huge gains away through gap ups or gap downs from news or earnings during trend. However, can get huge gain on gaps from news or earning. Nature of the game.
--Need some brass balls and a supply of pepto to stomach through some of the pullbacks. Gut wrenching seeing big gains dwindle. But they all even out at the end, you hope. (see NBEV and IGC, and CRON and others. shit don't go in straight lines, homie)
Pros
--It's simple and easy. Overall, you profit
--works with any security
Cons
--It can be stressful.
--does not work well on lower time frames. Do not recommend going below 15 minutes
--Possibility of working on 5 minutes with a time frame breakout strategy (15,30 min).
Couple it with LazyBear "Weis Wave Volume" indicator. Works well for pullback entries.
Enjoy. Ride some waves.

Hersheys Volume Pressure v1Hersheys Volume Pressure gives you very nice confirmation of trend starts and stops using volume and price.
For up bars...
If you have a large price range with low volume, that's very bullish.
If you have a small price range with low volume, that's bullish.
For down bars...
If you have a large price range with low volume, that's very bearish.
If you have a small price range with low volume, that's bearish.
Look at the chart and you'll see how trends start and end with a PINCH and widen in the middle of the moves.
Hersheys Volume Pressure is unique, in that it measures bull/bear pressure on each bar by itself. Other volume indicators like On Balnce Volume and Price Volume Trend use cumulative differences in the current and previous bar to show trends.
You can set the moving average period, 14 is the default.
Good trading!

Hull Moving Average RibbonGradient Wave HMA - Multi-Ribbon Hull Moving Average System
Overview
The Gradient Wave HMA is an advanced technical indicator that transforms Alan Hull's Hull Moving Average (HMA) into a dynamic multi-layered ribbon system. Unlike traditional moving average ribbons that use simple or exponential calculations, this indicator applies Hull's innovative lag-reduction formula across 12 different timeframes simultaneously, creating a visually striking gradient effect that flows with market momentum.
Technical Foundation
This indicator is built upon the Hull Moving Average, developed by Alan Hull in 2005. The HMA uses a weighted moving average calculation designed to almost eliminate lag while maintaining curve smoothness:
HMA = WMA(2*WMA(n/2) − WMA(n), sqrt(n))
Credit: Alan Hull (www.alanhull.com)
Key Features
Multi-Period Ribbon Structure
12 individual HMA lines with customizable periods
Preset configurations for different trading styles:
Fast: 3-30 period range (scalping/intraday)
Swing: 8-55 period range (swing trading)
Position: 20-100 period range (position trading)
Custom: User-defined periods
2. Neon Gradient Visualization
Bullish Gradient: Transitions from blue-purple to hot purple
Bearish Gradient: Flows from hot pink to purple-pink
Each line has a unique color in the spectrum
Gradient fills between lines create depth and visual flow
3. Advanced Alert System
Trend Reversal Alerts: Notifies when ribbon changes direction
Price Breakout Alerts: Triggers when price crosses the ribbon
Compression Alerts: Signals potential breakouts during consolidation
Expansion Alerts: Confirms strong trending conditions
Momentum Surge Alerts: Catches explosive moves early
How It Works
The indicator calculates 12 Hull Moving Averages, each with a different period length. The trend direction is determined by the middle HMA (6th line), which triggers the color change across the entire ribbon. When trending up, the ribbon displays a purple gradient; when trending down, it shifts to a pink gradient.
Trading Applications
1. Trend Identification
Ribbon color indicates overall trend direction
All lines moving in sync confirms strong trend
Mixed signals suggest choppy or transitioning markets
2. Dynamic Support/Resistance
In uptrends, the ribbon acts as moving support
In downtrends, it provides resistance levels
Multiple layers offer various strength levels
3. Momentum Analysis
Expanding ribbon = Increasing momentum
Contracting ribbon = Decreasing momentum/consolidation
Ribbon angle indicates trend strength
4. Trading Example
Advantages Over Traditional MAs
Reduced Lag: Hull's formula provides faster response than SMA/EMA ribbons
Visual Clarity: Gradient effect makes trend changes immediately visible
Multiple Timeframes: 12 periods provide comprehensive market view
Flexibility: Presets adapt to different trading styles
Best Practices
Use higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for position trading
Combine with volume indicators for confirmation
Watch for ribbon compression before major moves
Consider overall market conditions when interpreting signals
Customization Options
Adjust individual HMA periods
Fine-tune transparency for different backgrounds
Choose between WMA and EMA base calculations
The Gradient Wave HMA combines Alan Hull's breakthrough moving average formula with modern visualization techniques to create a powerful trend-following tool that's both technically sophisticated and visually intuitive.
Gioteen-NormThe "Gioteen-Norm" indicator is a versatile and powerful technical analysis tool designed to help traders identify key market conditions such as divergences, overbought/oversold levels, and trend strength. By normalizing price data relative to a moving average and standard deviation, this indicator provides a unique perspective on price behavior, making it easier to spot potential reversals or continuations in the market.
The indicator calculates a normalized value based on the difference between the selected price and its moving average, scaled by the standard deviation over a user-defined period. Additionally, an optional moving average of this normalized value (Green line) can be plotted to smooth the output and enhance signal clarity. This dual-line approach makes it an excellent tool for both short-term and long-term traders.
***Key Features
Divergence Detection: The Gioteen-Norm excels at identifying divergences between price action and the normalized indicator value. For example, if the price makes a higher high while Red line forms a lower high, it may signal a bearish divergence, hinting at a potential reversal.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions: Extreme values of Red line (e.g., significantly above or below zero) can indicate overbought or oversold conditions, helping traders anticipate pullbacks or bounces.
Trend Strength Insight: The normalized output reflects how far the price deviates from its average, providing a measure of momentum and trend strength.
**Customizable Parameters
Traders can adjust the period, moving average type, applied price, and shift to suit their trading style and timeframe.
**How It Works
Label1 (Red Line): Represents the normalized price deviation from a user-selected moving average (SMA, EMA, SMMA, or LWMA) divided by the standard deviation over the specified period. This line highlights the relative position of the price compared to its historical range.
Label2 (Green Line, Optional): A moving average of Label1, which smooths the normalized data to reduce noise and provide clearer signals. This can be toggled on or off via the "Draw MA" option.
**Inputs
Period: Length of the lookback period for normalization (default: 100).
MA Method: Type of moving average for normalization (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA; default: EMA).
Applied Price: Price type used for calculation (Close, Open, High, Low, HL2, HLC3, HLCC4; default: Close).
Shift: Shifts the indicator forward or backward (default: 0).
Draw MA: Toggle the display of the Label2 moving average (default: true).
MA Period: Length of the moving average for Label2 (default: 50).
MA Method (Label2): Type of moving average for Label2 (SMA, EMA, SMMA, LWMA; default: SMA).
**How to Use
Divergence Trading: Look for discrepancies between price action and Label1. A bullish divergence (higher low in Label1 vs. lower low in price) may suggest a buying opportunity, while a bearish divergence could indicate a selling opportunity.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Monitor extreme Label1 values. For instance, values significantly above +2 or below -2 could indicate overextension, though traders should define thresholds based on the asset and timeframe.
Trend Confirmation: Use Label2 to confirm trend direction. A rising Label2 suggests increasing bullish momentum, while a declining Label2 may indicate bearish pressure.
Combine with Other Tools: Pair Gioteen-Norm with support/resistance levels, RSI, or volume indicators for a more robust trading strategy.
**Notes
The indicator is non-overlay, meaning it plots below the price chart in a separate panel.
Avoid using a Period value of 1, as it may lead to unstable results due to insufficient data for standard deviation calculation.
This tool is best used as part of a broader trading system rather than in isolation.
**Why Use Gioteen-Norm?
The Gioteen-Norm indicator offers a fresh take on price normalization, blending statistical analysis with moving average techniques. Its flexibility and clarity make it suitable for traders of all levels—whether you're scalping on short timeframes or analyzing long-term trends. By publishing this for free, I hope to contribute to the TradingView community and help traders uncover hidden opportunities in the markets.

Dema EFI Volume | viResearchDema EFI Volume | viResearch
Conceptual Foundation and Innovation
The "Dema EFI Volume" indicator from viResearch integrates the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) with the Elder Force Index (EFI), providing a dynamic approach to analyzing both price trends and volume strength. The DEMA is applied to smooth out price fluctuations while minimizing lag, which enhances the ability to detect trend direction. The EFI, developed by Dr. Alexander Elder, measures the power behind price movements by incorporating both price change and volume. This indicator, when combined with DEMA smoothing, gives traders a more accurate understanding of whether the current price movements are supported by significant volume, helping them make more informed trading decisions. The combination of DEMA and EFI allows traders to track trend strength while assessing the market’s volume dynamics, offering a more reliable method for identifying potential trend continuations or reversals.
Technical Composition and Calculation
The "Dema EFI Volume" script consists of two key components: the Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA) and the Elder Force Index (EFI). The DEMA is applied to the selected source price over a user-defined length, providing a smoothed representation of price movements while reducing the noise that can occur with traditional moving averages. The EFI is calculated by multiplying the change in the DEMA by the volume over a user-defined period, which indicates whether the price movement is being driven by strong or weak volume. The script monitors the EFI values and volume data to generate trend signals. If the EFI is positive and volume increases, this indicates bullish pressure, while a negative EFI with decreasing volume suggests bearish conditions. The combination of these signals helps traders determine whether a price move is backed by sufficient volume, making it easier to identify trend continuations or potential reversals.
Features and User Inputs
The "Dema EFI Volume" script offers several customizable inputs, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to their specific strategies. The DEMA Length controls the smoothing applied to the price data, while the EFI Length defines the period over which the force index is calculated. Additionally, traders can set alert conditions for when a bullish or bearish EFI signal occurs, enabling them to react quickly to changing market conditions.
Practical Applications
The "Dema EFI Volume" indicator is designed for traders who want to combine price trend analysis with volume dynamics in a single tool. This makes it particularly effective for identifying trend continuations, as rising volume alongside a positive EFI suggests that the market move is supported by strong momentum. Conversely, decreasing volume and a negative EFI may indicate a weakening trend, giving traders early warning of potential reversals. The combination of DEMA and EFI also makes this indicator valuable for detecting trend strength by measuring whether price movements are backed by strong volume, confirming trend reversals by comparing price changes with volume activity, and improving trade entries and exits by analyzing both price and volume for more robust signals.
Advantages and Strategic Value
The "Dema EFI Volume" script offers significant advantages by combining the DEMA’s smoothing power with the EFI’s volume analysis. This integration allows traders to filter out noise in price data while ensuring that trend signals are backed by meaningful volume. The result is a more reliable tool for trend-following and reversal detection, making it easier for traders to stay aligned with strong market moves while avoiding false signals caused by low-volume fluctuations. The dual focus on price and volume makes the "Dema EFI Volume" an ideal tool for traders who value a comprehensive approach to market analysis.
Alerts and Visual Cues
The script includes alert conditions that notify traders when a significant EFI signal occurs. The "EFI Volume Long" alert is triggered when the EFI is positive and volume increases, indicating a potential upward trend. The "EFI Volume Short" alert signals a possible downward trend when the EFI turns negative and volume decreases. Visual cues, such as the color and direction of the plotted EFI line, help traders quickly identify trend shifts and make timely decisions.
Summary and Usage Tips
The "Dema EFI Volume | viResearch" indicator provides traders with a powerful tool for analyzing both price trends and volume strength. By incorporating this script into your trading strategy, you can improve your ability to detect trend continuations and reversals, making more informed decisions based on a combination of price movement and volume dynamics. Whether you are focused on identifying trend strength or looking for early reversal signals, the "Dema EFI Volume" offers a reliable and customizable solution for traders of all levels.

CT Reverse Stochastic Momentum IndexIntroducing the Caretakers Reverse Stochastic Momentum Index .
According to Investopedia :
“The Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) is a more refined version of the stochastic oscillator, employing a wider range of values and having a higher sensitivity to closing prices.”
The SMI was developed by William Blau and introduced in 1993 in an attempt to provide a more reliable indicator, less subject to false swings.
It calculates the distance of the current closing price as it relates to the median of the high/low range of price.
The SMI has a normal range of values between +100 and -100.
When the present closing price is higher than the median, or midpoint value of the high/low range, the resulting value is positive.
When the current closing price is lower than that of the midpoint of the high/low range, the SMI has a negative value.
I have reverse engineered the SMI formula to derive 2 functions.
One function calculates the chart price at which the SMI will reach a particular SMI scale value.
The second function calculates the chart price at which the SMI will crossover its signal line.
I have employed those functions here to give the price level where the SMI will equal :
Upper alert level ( default 40 )
Zero-Line
Lower alert level ( default -40 )
Signal line
The user can infer from these values that when closing prices cross the levels shown, the SMI will cross the indicated level or signal line.
If the price value is less than zero the value will show "impossible".
The advantage of knowing the exact prices that this will happen should give the user an additional edge and precision in risk management.
These crossover levels are displayed via an optional infobox with choice of user selected info.
There is an option to change the decimal places shown.
For easy and intuitive reading of the indicator when ….
SMI is above the signal line both the SMI and Signal line and the space between them is Green.
SMI is below the signal line both the SMI and Signal line and the space between them is Red.
SMI is above the Zeroline the space between them is Green.
SMI is below the Zeroline the space between them is Red.
Traditionally traders and analysts will consider:
Positives values above 40 indicate a bullish trend
Negative values below -40 indicate a bearish trend .
Common traditional ways to derive signals from the SMI :
When the SMI crosses above the zeroline, a buy signal is generated.
When the SMI crosses below the zeroline, a sell signal is generated.
When the SMI crosses below -40 and then moves back above it, a buy signal is generated.
When the SMI crosses above +40 and then moves back below it, a sell signal is generated.
When the SMI line crosses above the signal line. A signal to buy / take profit is generated
When the SMI line crosses below the signal line. A signal to sell / take profit is generated.
Traders also look for divergences between the SMI itself or the SMI histogram and price action.
The SMI is often used in conjunction with the Chande Momentum Oscillator or R squared indicator to determine overall market trendiness where the SMI is used to determine the direction of the trend, and also with volume indicators to show if the momentum carries significant selling or buying pressure.
Heikin Ashi VolumeHeikin Ashi candles decrease market noise so that broader trends can be more easily visualized. In a typical chart utilizing Heikin Ashi candles, volume bars are colored in such a way that they also allow for the visualization of trends during a bullish/bearish move.
The Heikin Ashi Volume indicator allows the trader to continue to use the same volume bar coloring technique to visualize trends without having to utilize the Heikin Ashi candles, since a Heikin Ashi candle’s OHLC values are not true prices but instead based on calculations in order to provide the ‘denoising’ effect they are known for.
In addition to providing the Heikin Ashi Volume coloring effects, the Heikin Ashi Volume indicator also allows the user to set a volume threshold level where the bar colors will be darker unless volume is beyond that threshold, helping traders quickly determine if there is enough participation in the market at that time to justify taking risk in a trade when the market isn’t very active. The user has the option to show or hide the threshold line, change the colors of the bullish/bearish colors (for both above and below threshold volumes) and the option for the indicator to gradually brighten the bar colors are they approach the threshold instead of having a clear line of demarcation showing volume above or below the set threshold.
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.
VSA-Stopping VolumeVSA Stopping Volume Indicator
Stopping Volume occurs when candles show decreasing body sizes (narrow spreads) while volume steadily increases.
Example chart:
As you see:
3 consecutive candles in same direction (all green OR all red)
Body sizes (spreads) decreasing progressively: Candle 1 > Candle 2 > Candle 3
Volume increasing progressively: Volume 1 < Volume 2 < Volume 3
This pattern indicates price absorption - increased buying/selling pressure but declining price movement, often signaling exhaustion and potential reversal.
Indicator Features
This indicator detects Stopping Volume candlestick clusters with two signal types:
🔹 BUY/SELL Signals: Generated when pattern occurs at support/resistance zones
🔹 Directional Alerts (▲-green, ▼-red): Generated when pattern occurs outside key levels
Trading Guidelines:
⚠️ Auto-drawn S/R zones are reference only - manual level plotting recommended for accuracy
📊 Best for scalping: M5, M10, M15 timeframes
🛡️ Stop Loss: Place beyond the S/R zone you're trading
🎯 Take Profit: Based on your risk management

Perfect for scalpers looking to catch reversals at critical zones!
Z-Score Volume with CVD ConfirmationZ-Score Volume with CVD Confirmation is a volume-based confluence tool that enhances traditional volume analysis by combining Z-Score volume anomalies with Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) confirmation. This indicator helps traders identify unusual volume activity that aligns with directional order flow, offering a cleaner signal for potential breakout or reversal scenarios.
🔍 Key Features:
Z-Score Calculation: Measures how extreme current volume is relative to its recent average, highlighting statistically significant surges or drops.
CVD Confirmation: Uses Cumulative Volume Delta candles (open/high/low/close) to assess buying vs. selling pressure in lower timeframes.
Bar Color Logic:
Green: High Z-Score volume confirmed by CVD bullish candle
Red: High Z-Score volume confirmed by CVD bearish candle
Other color bands show progressively strong or weak volume outliers
Real Volume Bar Heights: Volume bars retain true scale while color reflects underlying order flow strength and direction.
💡 Use Cases:
Breakout validation: Confirm price range breaks when volume surge is supported by CVD direction
Fade setups: Detect unsustainable high-volume moves lacking CVD support
Trend continuation: Spot momentum when both Z-Score and CVD align in the direction of the trend
⚙️ How to Use:
Adjust the Z-Score length to define how far back to measure average and deviation.
Select your anchor timeframe (typically 1D) and a lower timeframe for CVD calculations (e.g., 1-minute).
Use color-coded volume bars to assess volume significance and directional flow at a glance.
Add the standard volume indicator to the chart so one can compare the difference between the standard volume indicator and the Z-Score Volume with CVD Confirmation script. Useful at specific price levels and exiting ranges or not.
Consolidation Range [BigBeluga]A hybrid volatility-volume indicator that isolates periods of price equilibrium and reveals the directional force behind each range buildup.
Consolidation Range is a powerful tool designed to detect compression phases in the market using volatility thresholds while visualizing volume imbalance within those phases. By combining low-volatility detection with directional volume delta, it highlights where accumulation or distribution is occurring—giving traders the confidence to act when breakouts follow. This indicator is particularly valuable in choppy or sideways markets where range identification and sentiment context are key.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Volatility Compression: Uses ADX (Average Directional Index) to detect periods of low trend strength—specifically when ADX drops below a configurable threshold.
Range Structure: Upon a low-volatility trigger, the script dynamically anchors horizontal upper and lower bounds based on local highs and lows.
Directional Volume Delta: Inside each active range, it calculates the net difference between buy and sell volume, showing who controlled the range.
Sentiment Bias: A label appears in the center of the zone on breakout, showing the accumulated delta and bias direction (▲ for positive, ▼ for negative).
Range Validity Filter: Only ranges with more than 15 bars are considered valid—short-lived consolidations are auto-filtered.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Detects low volatility market phases using ADX logic (crosses under "Volatility Threshold Input").
Automatically plots adaptive consolidation zones with upper and lower boundary lines.
Includes dynamic midline to visualize the price average inside the range.
Visual range is filled with a progressive gradient to reflect distance between highs and lows.
When the range is active, the indicator accumulates volume delta (Buy - Sell volume) .
Upon breakout, the total volume delta is displayed at the midpoint , providing insight into market sentiment during the consolidation phase.
Filters out weak or short-lived consolidations under 15 bars.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Spot ranging or compression zones with minimal effort.
Use breakouts with volume delta bias to assess the strength or weakness of moves.
Combine with trend-following tools or volume-based confirmation for stronger setups.
Apply to higher timeframes for macro consolidation tracking .
🔵 CONCLUSION
Consolidation Range now brings together volatility filtering and directional volume delta into one smart module. This hybrid logic allows traders to not only identify balance zones but also understand who was in control during the buildup—offering a sharper edge for breakout and trend continuation strategies.

VSA Volume + Fibonacci (Volunacci)Overview
This indicator combines Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) with Fibonacci levels to identify key price zones based on volume behavior. It helps traders determine potential support and resistance levels influenced by volume strength.
How It Works
Volume Calculation
The indicator calculates volume levels based on the selected timeframe.
It identifies high volume spikes and low volume dips, which are critical for detecting supply and demand shifts.
It uses a simple moving average (SMA) of volume to smooth fluctuations.
Fibonacci Levels Integration
When a high-volume event is detected, the indicator records the highest high and lowest low of that candle.
It then plots Fibonacci retracement and extension levels to highlight potential price reaction zones.
Negative Fibonacci levels are included to identify possible deep retracements.
Visual Features
The indicator adapts to both light and dark themes for better visibility.
Fibonacci lines are color-coded based on key retracement and extension levels.
A table displaying key Fibonacci levels and their corresponding prices is provided for quick reference.
Why Is This Indicator Useful?
It helps traders spot accumulation and distribution phases by analyzing volume at key price points.
The combination of VSA and Fibonacci allows traders to confirm trend strength and identify potential reversal points.
Works well for trend-following strategies, scalping, and breakout trading.
How to Use This Indicator?
Use it to confirm breakouts or reversals at Fibonacci levels when volume supports the move.
Watch for high-volume spikes near key Fibonacci zones—these can signal strong trend continuation or reversal.
Use the displayed Fibonacci table to quickly assess price reaction levels.
