Volume EntropyKey Components :
📍 Natural Logarithm Function : The script starts by employing a custom Taylor Series approximation for natural logarithms. This function serves to calculate entropy with higher accuracy than conventional methods, laying the foundation for further calculations.
📍 Entropy Calculation : The core of this indicator is its entropy function. It employs the custom natural log function to compute the randomness of the trading volume over a user-defined micro-pattern length, offering insights into market stability or volatility.
📍 Micro-Pattern Length : This is the parameter that sets the stage for the level of detail in the entropy calculation. Users can adjust it to suit different time frames or market conditions, thus customizing the indicator's sensitivity to randomness in trading volume.

Volume SuperTrend AI (Expo)█ Overview
The Volume SuperTrend AI is an advanced technical indicator used to predict trends in price movements by utilizing a combination of traditional SuperTrend calculation and AI techniques, particularly the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm.
The Volume SuperTrend AI is designed to provide traders with insights into potential market trends, using both volume-weighted moving averages (VWMA) and the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm. By combining these approaches, the indicator aims to offer more precise predictions of price trends, offering bullish and bearish signals.
█ How It Works
Volume Analysis: By utilizing volume-weighted moving averages (VWMA), the Volume SuperTrend AI emphasizes the importance of trading volume in the trend direction, allowing it to respond more accurately to market dynamics.
Artificial Intelligence Integration - k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) Algorithm: The k-NN algorithm is employed to intelligently examine historical data points, measuring distances between current parameters and previous data. The nearest neighbors are utilized to create predictive modeling, thus adapting to intricate market patterns.
█ How to use
Trend Identification
The Volume SuperTrend AI indicator considers not only price movement but also trading volume, introducing an extra dimension to trend analysis. By integrating volume data, the indicator offers a more nuanced and robust understanding of market trends. When trends are supported by high trading volumes, they tend to be more stable and reliable. In practice, a green line displayed beneath the price typically suggests an upward trend, reflecting a bullish market sentiment. Conversely, a red line positioned above the price signals a downward trend, indicative of bearish conditions.
Trend Continuation signals
The AI algorithm is the fundamental component in the coloring of the Volume SuperTrend. This integration serves as a means of predicting the trend while preserving the inherent characteristics of the SuperTrend. By maintaining these essential features, the AI-enhanced Volume SuperTrend allows traders to more accurately identify and capitalize on trend continuation signals.
TrailingStop
The Volume SuperTrend AI indicator serves as a dynamic trailing stop loss, adjusting with both price movement and trading volume. This approach protects profits while allowing the trade room to grow, taking into account volume for a more nuanced response to market changes.
█ Settings
AI Settings:
Neighbors (k):
This setting controls the number of nearest neighbors to consider in the k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) algorithm. By adjusting this parameter, you can directly influence the sensitivity of the model to local fluctuations in the data. A lower value of k may lead to predictions that closely follow short-term trends but may be prone to noise. A higher value of k can provide more stable predictions, considering the broader context of market trends, but might lag in responsiveness.
Data (n):
This setting refers to the number of data points to consider in the model. It allows the user to define the size of the dataset that will be analyzed. A larger value of n may provide more comprehensive insights by considering a wider historical context but can increase computational complexity. A smaller value of n focuses on more recent data, possibly providing quicker insights but might overlook longer-term trends.
AI Trend Settings:
Price Trend & Prediction Trend:
These settings allow you to adjust the lengths of the weighted moving averages that are used to calculate both the price trend and the prediction trend. Shorter lengths make the trends more responsive to recent price changes, capturing quick market movements. Longer lengths smooth out the trends, filtering out noise, and highlighting more persistent market directions.
AI Trend Signals:
This toggle option enables or disables the trend signals generated by the AI. Activating this function may assist traders in identifying key trend shifts and opportunities for entry or exit. Disabling it may be preferred when focusing on other aspects of the analysis.
Super Trend Settings:
Length:
This setting determines the length of the SuperTrend, affecting how it reacts to price changes. A shorter length will produce a more sensitive SuperTrend, reacting quickly to price fluctuations. A longer length will create a smoother SuperTrend, reducing false alarms but potentially lagging behind real market changes.
Factor:
This parameter is the multiplier for the Average True Range (ATR) in SuperTrend calculation. By adjusting the factor, you can control the distance of the SuperTrend from the price. A higher factor makes the SuperTrend further from the price, giving more room for price movement but possibly missing shorter-term signals. A lower factor brings the SuperTrend closer to the price, making it more reactive but possibly more prone to false signals.
Moving Average Source:
This setting lets you choose the type of moving average used for the SuperTrend calculation, such as Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), etc.
Different types of moving averages provide various characteristics to the SuperTrend, enabling customization to align with individual trading strategies and market conditions.

Volume Tick ExperimentThis ticks-based indicator provides real-time volume information for a trading asset. Volume is analyzed and updated continuously, not just at candle close. It is based on DGT's Bull vs Bear Power indicator but adds a gas signal that activates when buying or selling volume percentage reaches a predetermined threshold.
This indicator can also help traders determine the direction and aggressiveness of pushes in buying or selling volume. By monitoring the volume percentages and gas signals, traders can get an idea of whether the market is pushing in a particular direction and how strong the push is. This information can be helpful in making trading decisions and identifying potential entry or exit points.
The indicator uses open, high, low, and close prices of the asset to calculate volume information. It determines the average volume over a selected period and calculates volume for both buying and selling. This information is used to calculate the percentage of buying and selling volume. A gas signal is triggered when either the buying or selling percentage reaches a predetermined threshold.

Volume Risk Avoidance IndicatorPrice Pattern Analysis is the core of trading. But price patterns often fails.
VRAI (Volume Risk Avoidance Indicator) shows Volume Pressure, so that you can avoid volume-based risks.
For example, never short when you see green (buying pressure). Never long when you see red (selling pressure).
You still need to pick good price patterns, because the crossover of volume pressure is not reliable.
Enjoy!
Range Volume ChangeI was looking for a way to see if today's premarket volume is higher or lower than the previous day's premarket, but did not find any, hence, I made my own which I share with you now.
I call it 'Range Volume Change' or just RVC.
RVC will show the percentage of change between the selected time range and the previous day for the same time range.
This will allow us to see if the volume is increasing or decreasing today compared to the previous day by a specific time range that we set in PVC settings. It can do more than just premarket, you can use it for any time range of your interest which will work on 24hours assets like crypto and forex.
RVC visualizes the incremental of the volume using increasing size columns giving you a better view of how the volume changes compared to the past. The column shows the accumulated volume from when the time range started.
As an extra feature, it will also show the volume percentage of change outside the time range (can be disabled from settings).
In addition, RVC is also designed to work on real-time data.
Example of BTCUSDT (24-hour asset) with volume 'outside the time range', enabled (purple columns):

Binance Z VolumeBTC perpetual volume on Binance is about 4x spot volume.
Comparing spot and perpetual volumes could provide useful insights into market sentiment.
Abnormal increases in the spot market could be associated with accumulation. Abnormal increases in the perpetual market, on the other hand, could predict volatility as well lows and highs.
This script represents a Z-score of the volume of perpetual and 4xspot on Binance.
High values above 0 mean that the volume is skewed towards perpetual contracts. Values below 0 mean that the volume is skewed towards spot contracts.

Relative Volume at Time█ OVERVIEW
This indicator calculates relative volume, which is the ratio of present volume over an average of past volume.
It offers two calculation modes, both using a time reference as an anchor.
█ CONCEPTS
Calculation modes
The simplest way to calculate relative volume is by using the ratio of a bar's volume over a simple moving average of the last n volume values.
This indicator uses one of two, more subtle ways to calculate both values of the relative volume ratio: current volume:past volume .
The two calculations modes are:
1 — Cumulate from Beginning of TF to Current Bar where:
current volume = the cumulative volume since the beginning of the timeframe unit, and
past volume = the mean of volume during that same relative period of time in the past n timeframe units.
2 — Point-to-Point Bars at Same Offset from Beginning of TF where:
current volume = the volume on a single chart bar, and
past volume = the mean of volume values from that same relative bar in time from the past n timeframe units.
Timeframe units
Timeframe units can be defined in three different ways:
1 — Using Auto-steps, where the timeframe unit automatically adjusts to the timeframe used on the chart:
— A 1 min timeframe unit will be used on 1sec charts,
— 1H will be used for charts at 1min and less,
— 1D will be used for other intraday chart timeframes,
— 1W will be used for 1D charts,
— 1M will be used for charts at less than 1M,
— 1Y will be used for charts at greater or equal than 1M.
2 — As a fixed timeframe that you define.
3 — By time of day (for intraday chart timeframes only), which you also define. If you use non-intraday chart timeframes in this mode, the indicator will switch to Auto-steps.
Relative Relativity
A relative volume value of 1.0 indicates that current volume is equal to the mean of past volume , but how can we determine what constitutes a high relative volume value?
The traditional way is to settle for an arbitrary threshold, with 2.0 often used to indicate that relative volume is worthy of attention.
We wanted to provide traders with a contextual method of calculating threshold values, so in addition to the conventional fixed threshold value,
this indicator includes two methods of calculating a threshold channel on past relative volume values:
1 — Using the standard deviation of relative volume over a fixed lookback.
2 — Using the highs/lows of relative volume over a variable lookback.
Channels calculated on relative volume provide meta-relativity, if you will, as they are relative values of relative volume.
█ FEATURES
Controls in the "Display" section of inputs determine what is visible in the indicator's pane. The next "Settings" section is where you configure the parameters used in the calculations. The "Column Coloring Conditions" section controls the color of the columns, which you will see in three of the five display modes available. Whether columns are plotted or not, the coloring conditions also determine when markers appear, if you have chosen to show the markers in the "Display" section. The presence of markers is what triggers the alerts configured on this indicator. Finally, the "Colors" section of inputs allows you to control the color of the indicator's visual components.
Display
Five display modes are available:
• Current Volume Columns : shows columns of current volume , with past volume displayed as an outlined column.
• Relative Volume Columns : shows relative volume as a column.
• Relative Volume Columns With Average : shows relative volume as a column, with the average of relative volume.
• Directional Relative Volume Average : shows a line calculated using the average of +/- values of relative volume.
The positive value of relative volume is used on up bars; its negative value on down bars.
• Relative Volume Average : shows the average of relative volume.
A Hull moving average is used to calculate the average used in the three last display modes.
You can also control the display of:
• The value or relative volume, when in the first three display modes. Only the last 500 values will be shown.
• Timeframe transitions, shown in the background.
• A reminder of the active timeframe unit, which appears to the right of the indicator's last bar.
• The threshold used, which can be a fixed value or a channel, as determined in the next "Settings" section of inputs.
• Up/Down markers, which appear on transitions of the color of the volume columns (determined by coloring conditions), which in turn control when alerts are triggered.
• Conditions of high volatility.
Settings
Use this section of inputs to change:
• Calculation mode : this is where you select one of this indicator's two calculation modes for current volume and past volume , as explained in the "Concepts" section.
• Past Volume Lookback in TF units : the quantity of timeframe units used in the calculation of past volume .
• Define Timeframes Units Using : the mode used to determine what one timeframe unit is. Note that when using a fixed timeframe, it must be higher than the chart's timeframe.
Also, note that time of day timeframe units only work on intraday chart timeframes.
• Threshold Mode : Five different modes can be selected:
— Fixed Value : You can define the value using the "Fixed Threshold" field below. The default value is 2.0.
— Standard Deviation Channel From Fixed Lookback : This is a channel calculated using the simple moving average of relative volume
(so not the Hull moving average used elsewhere in the indicator), plus/minus the standard deviation multiplied by a user-defined factor.
The lookback used is the value of the "Channel Lookback" field. Its default is 100.
— High/Low Channel From Beginning of TF : in this mode, the High/Low values reset at the beginning of each timeframe unit.
— High/Low Channel From Beginning of Past Volume Lookback : in this mode, the High/Low values start from the farthest point back where we are calculating past volume ,
which is determined by the combination of timeframe units and the "Past Volume Lookback in TF units" value.
— High/Low Channel From Fixed Lookback : In this mode the lookback is fixed. You can define the value using the "Channel Lookback" field. The default value is 100.
• Period of RelVol Moving Average : the period of the Hull moving average used in the "Directional Relative Volume Average" and the "Relative Volume Average".
• High Volatility is defined using fast and slow ATR periods, so this represents the volatility of price.
Volatility is considered to be high when the fast ATR value is greater than its slow value. Volatility can be used as a filter in the column coloring conditions.
Column Coloring Conditions
• Eight different conditions can be turned on or off to determine the color of the volume columns. All "ON" conditions must be met to determine a high/low state of relative volume,
or, in the case of directional relative volume, a bull/bear state.
• A volatility state can also be used to filter the conditions.
• When the coloring conditions and the filter do not allow for a high/low state to be determined, the neutral color is used.
• Transitions of the color of the volume columns determined by coloring conditions are used to plot the up/down markers, which in turn control when alerts are triggered.
Colors
• You can define your own colors for all of the oscillator's plots.
• The default colors will perform well on light or dark chart backgrounds.
Alerts
• An alert can be defined for the script. The alert will trigger whenever an up/down marker appears in the indicator's display.
The particular combination of coloring conditions and the display settings for up/down markers when you create the alert will determine which conditions trigger the alert.
After alerts are created, subsequent changes to the conditions controlling the display of markers will not affect existing alerts.
• By configuring the script's inputs in different ways before you create your alerts, you can create multiple, functionally distinct alerts from this script.
When creating multiple alerts, it is useful to include in the alert's message a reminder of the particular conditions you used for each alert.
• As is usually the case, alerts triggering "Once Per Bar Close" will prevent repainting.
Error messages
Error messages will appear at the end of the chart upon the following conditions:
• When the combination of the timeframe units used and the "Past Volume Lookback in TF units" value create a lookback that is greater than 5000 bars.
The lookback will then be recalculated to a value such that a runtime error does not occur.
• If the chart's timeframe is higher than the timeframe units. This error cannot occur when using Auto-steps to calculate timeframe units.
• If relative volume cannot be calculated, for example, when no volume data is available for the chart's symbol.
• When the threshold of relative volume is configured to be visible but the indicator's scale does not allow it to be visible (in "Current Volume Columns" display mode).
█ NOTES
For traders
The chart shown here uses the following display modes: "Current Volume Columns", "Relative Volume Columns With Average", "Directional Relative Volume Average" and "Relative Volume Average". The last one also shows the threshold channel in standard deviation mode, and the TF Unit reminder to the right, in red.
Volume, like price, is a value with a market-dependent scale. The only valid reference for volume being its past values, any improvement in the way past volume is calculated thus represents a potential opportunity to traders. Relative volume calculated as it is here can help traders extract useful information from markets in many circumstances, markets with cyclical volume such as Forex being one, obvious case. The relative nature of the values calculated by this indicator also make it a natural fit for cross-market and cross-sector analysis, or to identify behavioral changes in the different futures contracts of the same market. Relative volume can also be put to more exotic uses, such as in evaluating changes in the popularity of exchanges.
Relative volume alone has no directional bias. While higher relative volume values always indicate higher trading activity, that activity does not necessarily translate into significant price movement. In a tightly fought battle between buyers and sellers, you could theoretically have very large volume for many bars, with no change whatsoever in bid/ask prices. This of course, is unlikely to happen in reality, and so traders are justified in considering high relative volume values as indicating periods where more attention is required, because imbalances in the strength of buying/selling power during high-volume trading periods can amplify price variations, providing traders with the generally useful gift of volatility.
Be sure to give the "Directional Relative Volume Average" a try. Contrary to the always-positive ratio widely used in this indicator, the "Directional Relative Volume Average" produces a value able to determine a bullish/bearish bias for relative volume.
Note that realtime bars must be complete for the relative volume value to be confirmed. Values calculated on historical or elapsed realtime bars will not recalculate unless historical volume data changes.
Finally, as with all indicators using volume information, keep in mind that some exchanges/brokers supply different feeds for intraday and daily data, and the volume data on both feeds can sometimes vary quite a bit.

[JS] Climatic VolumeNot all the high volumes are important, this tool helps to identify the relevant market volumes
Can be useful to confirm a trend, a continuation or reversal
[WJ] - Corrected Seconds Volume** ONLY WORKS FOR SECONDS CHARTS **
After staring at a chart and scratching my head, I realized that the volumes were being incorrectly reported for lower time frames.
A chart that has no updated tick for 5 minutes will report the volume that occurred in the WHOLE 5 minutes - in one tick.
For a 5 second chart like above, we have now a chart that at first appearance is giving us numbers to believe that there is MUCH more liquidity than is real.
This can really confuse us, and other scripts that rely on volume information.
This script simply takes into consideration the time delay before the next tick. If it took 5 minutes to update a tick, the volume should be divided into whatever seconds we are currently using. I also changed the coloring code - if there is no length to the candle it will look at the candle before it to determine if it is a positive or negative movement.
It does make technical sense to have the volume that occurred over 5 minutes in one tick as it is the true volume. However, this script should not be viewed as the absolute value, but a consistent, usable number that will be more accurate with tools.
To give a quick example on why this is important:
In a 10 second chart, we are given an updated tick every minute. In 2 minutes we have 2 ticks that have 1K volume each.
Alternatively, we have a 10 second chart, and we are given an updated tick every 10 seconds. In 2 minutes we have 12 ticks that have 100 volume each.
With quick mental math we can determine that the second scenario is actually (albeit slightly) more busy. However, a script would not do that extra layer of math and would assume that the first scenario is bouncing off the walls with activity and the second is a graveyard.
It's exactly for this example that I have created this script, and I hope it helps someone else out.
Delta Volume Columns Pro [LucF]█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays volume delta information calculated with intrabar inspection on historical bars, and feed updates when running in realtime. It is designed to run in a pane and can display either stacked buy/sell volume columns or a signal line which can be calculated and displayed in many different ways.
Five different models are offered to reveal different characteristics of the calculated volume delta information. Many options are offered to visualize the calculations, giving you much leeway in morphing the indicator's visuals to suit your needs. If you value delta volume information, I hope you will find the time required to master Delta Volume Columns Pro well worth the investment. I am confident that if you combine a proper understanding of the indicator's information with an intimate knowledge of the volume idiosyncrasies on the markets you trade, you can extract useful market intelligence using this tool.
█ WARNINGS
1. The indicator only works on markets where volume information is available,
Please validate that your symbol's feed carries volume information before asking me why the indicator doesn't plot values.
2. When you refresh your chart or re-execute the script on the chart, the indicator will repaint because elapsed realtime bars will then recalculate as historical bars.
3. Because the indicator uses different modes of calculation on historical and realtime bars, it's critical that you understand the differences between them. Details are provided further down.
4. Calculations using intrabar inspection on historical bars can only be done from some chart timeframes. See further down for a list of supported timeframes.
If the chart's timeframe is not supported, no historical volume delta will display.
█ CONCEPTS
Chart bars
Three different types of bars are used in charts:
1. Historical bars are bars that have already closed when the script executes on them.
2. The realtime bar is the current, incomplete bar where a script is running on an open market. There is only one active realtime bar on your chart at any given time.
The realtime bar is where alerts trigger.
3. Elapsed realtime bars are bars that were calculated when they were realtime bars but have since closed.
When a script re-executes on a chart because the browser tab is refreshed or some of its inputs are changed, elapsed realtime bars are recalculated as historical bars.
Why does this indicator use two modes of calculation?
Historical bars on TradingView charts contain OHLCV data only, which is insufficient to calculate volume delta on them with any level of precision. To mine more detailed information from those bars we look at intrabars , i.e., bars from a smaller timeframe (we call it the intrabar timeframe ) that are contained in one chart bar. If your chart Is running at 1D on a 24x7 market for example, most 1D chart bars will contain 24 underlying 1H bars in their dilation. On historical bars, this indicator looks at those intrabars to amass volume delta information. If the intrabar is up, its volume goes in the Buy bin, and inversely for the Sell bin. When price does not move on an intrabar, the polarity of the last known movement is used to determine in which bin its volume goes.
In realtime, we have access to price and volume change for each update of the chart. Because a 1D chart bar can be updated tens of thousands of times during the day, volume delta calculations on those updates is much more precise. This precision, however, comes at a price:
— The script must be running on the chart for it to keep calculating in realtime.
— If you refresh your chart you will lose all accumulated realtime calculations on elapsed realtime bars, and the realtime bar.
Elapsed realtime bars will recalculate as historical bars, i.e., using intrabar inspection, and the realtime bar's calculations will reset.
When the script recalculates elapsed realtime bars as historical bars, the values on those bars will change, which means the script repaints in those conditions.
— When the indicator first calculates on a chart containing an incomplete realtime bar, it will count ALL the existing volume on the bar as Buy or Sell volume,
depending on the polarity of the bar at that point. This will skew calculations for that first bar. Scripts have no access to the history of a realtime bar's previous updates,
and intrabar inspection cannot be used on realtime bars, so this is the only to go about this.
— Even if alerts only trigger upon confirmation of their conditions after the realtime bar closes, they are repainting alerts
because they would perhaps not have calculated the same way using intrabar inspection.
— On markets like stocks that often have different EOD and intraday feeds and volume information,
the volume's scale may not be the same for the realtime bar if your chart is at 1D, for example,
and the indicator is using an intraday timeframe to calculate on historical bars.
— Any chart timeframe can be used in realtime mode, but plots that include moving averages in their calculations may require many elapsed realtime bars before they can calculate.
You might prefer drastically reducing the periods of the moving averages, or using the volume columns mode, which displays instant values, instead of the line.
Volume Delta Balances
This indicator uses a variety of methods to evaluate five volume delta balances and derive other values from those balances. The five balances are:
1 — On Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the Sell volume from the Buy volume on the bar.
2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the Buy and Sell volumes, and subtracts the Sell EMA from the Buy EMA.
3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both Buy and Sell volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and
an SMA of double the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the Sell side is subtracted from the difference for the Buy side,
and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale.
4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the Buy and Sell EMAs used in the "Average Balance".
From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant Buy and Sell volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.
If the bar's Buy volume does not exceed the EMA of Buy volume, a zero value is used. The same goes for the Sell volume with the EMA of Sell volume.
Once we have our two intermediate values for the Buy and Sell volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final "Relative Balance" value is an ALMA of that subtraction.
The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's Buy/Sell volume does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume.
If both instant volume values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.
The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant Buy/Sell volumes and their respective MA.
This balance flatlines when the bar's Buy/Sell volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.
The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily you will see the balance flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones.
5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "On Bar Balance" value, i.e., the volume delta balance on the bar (which can be positive or negative),
over the total volume for that bar.
From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated:
1 — Marker Bias : It sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.
Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4.
2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5.
█ FEATURES
The indicator has two main modes of operation: Columns and Line .
Columns
• In Columns mode you can display stacked Buy/Sell volume columns.
• The buy section always appears above the centerline, the sell section below.
• The top and bottom sections can be colored independently using eight different methods.
• The EMAs of the Buy/Sell values can be displayed (these are the same EMAs used to calculate the "Average Balance").
Line
• Displays one of seven signals: the five balances or one of two complementary values, i.e., the "Marker Bias" or the "Combined Balances".
• You can color the line and its fill using independent calculation modes to pack more information in the display.
You can thus appraise the state of 3 different values using the line itself, its color and the color of its fill.
• A "Divergence Levels" feature will use the line to automatically draw expanding levels on divergence events.
Default settings
Using the indicator's default settings, this is the information displayed:
• The line is calculated on the "Average Balance".
• The line's color is determined by the bull/bear state of the "Percent Balance".
• The line's fill gradient is determined by the advances/declines of the "Momentum Balance".
• The orange divergence dots are calculated using discrepancies between the polarity of the "On Bar Balance" and the chart's bar.
• The divergence levels are determined using the line's level when a divergence occurs.
• The background's fill gradient is calculated on advances/declines of the "Marker Bias".
• The chart bars are colored using advances/declines of the "Relative Balance". Divergences are shown in orange.
• The intrabar timeframe is automatically determined from the chart's timeframe so that a minimum of 50 intrabars are used to calculate volume delta on historical bars.
Alerts
The configuration of the marker conditions explained further is what determines the conditions that will trigger alerts created from this script. Note that simply selecting the display of markers does not create alerts. To create an alert on this script, you must use ALT-A from the chart. You can create multiple alerts triggering on different conditions from this same script; simply configure the markers so they define the trigger conditions for each alert before creating the alert. The configuration of the script's inputs is saved with the alert, so from then on you can change them without affecting the alert. Alert messages will mention the marker(s) that triggered the specific alert event. Keep in mind, when creating alerts on small chart timeframes, that discrepancies between alert triggers and markers displayed on your chart are to be expected. This is because the alert and your chart are running two distinct instances of the indicator on different servers and different feeds. Also keep in mind that while alerts only trigger on confirmed conditions, they are calculated using realtime calculation mode, which entails that if you refresh your chart and elapsed realtime bars recalculate as historical bars using intrabar inspection, markers will not appear in the same places they appeared in realtime. So it's important to understand that even though the alert conditions are confirmed when they trigger, these alerts will repaint.
Let's go through the sections of the script's inputs.
Columns
The size of the Buy/Sell columns always represents their respective importance on the bar, but the coloring mode for tops and bottoms is independent. The default setup uses a standard coloring mode where the Buy/Sell columns are always in the bull/bear color with a higher intensity for the winning side. Seven other coloring modes allow you to pack more information in the columns. When choosing to color the top columns using a bull/bear gradient on "Average Balance", for example, you will have bull/bear colored tops. In order for the color of the bottom columns to continue to show the instant bar balance, you can then choose the "On Bar Balance — Dual Solid Colors" coloring mode to make those bars the color of the winning side for that bar. You can display the averages of the Buy and Sell columns. If you do, its coloring is controlled through the "Line" and "Line fill" sections below.
Line and Line fill
You can select the calculation mode and the thickness of the line, and independent calculations to determine the line's color and fill.
Zero Line
The zero line can display dots when all five balances are bull/bear.
Divergences
You first select the detection mode. Divergences occur whenever the up/down direction of the signal does not match the up/down polarity of the bar. Divergences are used in three components of the indicator's visuals: the orange dot, colored chart bars, and to calculate the divergence levels on the line. The divergence levels are dynamic levels that automatically build from the line's values on divergence events. On consecutive divergences, the levels will expand, creating a channel. This implementation of the divergence levels corresponds to my view that divergences indicate anomalies, hesitations, points of uncertainty if you will. It precludes any attempt to identify a directional bias to divergences. Accordingly, the levels merely take note of divergence events and mark those points in time with levels. Traders then have a reference point from which they can evaluate further movement. The bull/bear/neutral colors used to plot the levels are also congruent with this view in that they are determined by the line's position relative to the levels, which is how I think divergences can be put to the most effective use. One of the coloring modes for the line's fill uses advances/declines in the line after divergence events.
Background
The background can show a bull/bear gradient on six different calculations. As with other gradients, you can adjust its brightness to make its importance proportional to how you use it in your analysis.
Chart bars
Chart bars can be colored using seven different methods. You have the option of emptying the body of bars where volume does not increase, as does my TLD indicator, and you can choose whether you want to show divergences.
Intrabar Timeframe
This is the intrabar timeframe that will be used to calculate volume delta using intrabar inspection on historical bars. You can choose between four modes. The three "Auto-steps" modes calculate, from the chart's timeframe, the intrabar timeframe where the said number of intrabars will make up the dilation of chart bars. Adjustments are made for non-24x7 markets. "Fixed" mode allows you to select the intrabar timeframe you want. Checking the "Show TF" box will display in the lower-right corner the intrabar timeframe used at any given moment. The proper selection of the intrabar timeframe is important. It must achieve maximal granularity to produce precise results while not unduly slowing down calculations, or worse, causing runtime errors. Note that historical depth will vary with the intrabar timeframe. The smaller the timeframe, the shallower historical plots you will be.
Markers
Markers appear when the required condition has been confirmed on a closed bar. The configuration of the markers when you create an alert is what determines when the alert will trigger. Five markers are available:
• Balances Agreement : All five balances are either bullish or bearish.
• Double Bumps : A double bump is two consecutive up/down bars with +/‒ volume delta, and rising Buy/Sell volume above its average.
• Divergence confirmations : A divergence is confirmed up/down when the chosen balance is up/down on the previous bar when that bar was down/up, and this bar is up/down.
• Balance Shifts : These are bull/bear transitions of the selected signal.
• Marker Bias Shifts : Marker bias shifts occur when it crosses into bull/bear territory.
Periods
Allows control over the periods of the different moving averages used to calculate the balances.
Volume Discrepancies
Stock exchanges do not report the same volume for intraday and daily (or higher) resolutions. Other variations in how volume information is reported can also occur in other markets, namely Forex, where volume irregularities can even occur between different intraday timeframes. This will cause discrepancies between the total volume on the bar at the chart's timeframe, and the total volume calculated by adding the volume of the intrabars in that bar's dilation. This does not necessarily invalidate the volume delta information calculated from intrabars, but it tells us that we are using partial volume data. A mechanism to detect chart vs intrabar timeframe volume discrepancies is provided. It allows you to define a threshold percentage above which the background will indicate a difference has been detected.
Other Settings
You can control here the display of the gray dot reminder on realtime bars, and the display of error messages if you are using a chart timeframe that is not greater than the fixed intrabar timeframe, when you use that mode. Disabling the message can be useful if you only use realtime mode at chart timeframes that do not support intrabar inspection.
█ RAMBLINGS
On Volume Delta
Volume is arguably the best complement to interpret price action, and I consider volume delta to be the most effective way of processing volume information. In periods of low-volatility price consolidations, volume will typically also be lower than normal, but slight imbalances in the trend of the buy/sell volume balance can sometimes help put early odds on the direction of the break from consolidation. Additionally, the progression of the volume imbalance can help determine the proximity of the breakout. I also find volume delta and the number of divergences very useful to evaluate the strength of trends. In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady", i.e., relatively low volatility and pauses where price action doesn't look like world affairs are being reassessed. In my personal mythology, this type of trend is often more resilient than high-volatility breakouts, especially when volume balance confirms the general agreement of traders signaled by the low-volatility usually accompanying this type of trend. The volume action on pauses will often help me decide between aggressively taking profits, tightening a stop or going for a longer-term movement. As for reversals, they generally occur in high-volatility areas where entering trades is more expensive and riskier. While the identification of counter-trend reversals fascinates many traders to no end, they represent poor opportunities in my view. Volume imbalances often precede reversals, but I prefer to use volume delta information to identify the areas following reversals where I can confirm them and make relatively low-cost entries with better odds.
On "Buy/Sell" Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities.
Divergences
The divergence detection method used here relies on a difference between the direction of a signal and the polarity (up/down) of a chart bar. When using the default "On Bar Balance" to detect divergences, however, only the bar's volume delta is used. You may wonder how there can be divergences between buying/selling volume information and price movement on one bar. This will sometimes be due to the calculation's shortcomings, but divergences may also occur in instances where because of order book structure, it takes less volume to increase the price of an asset than it takes to decrease it. As usual, divergences are points of interest because they reveal imbalances, which may or may not become turning points. To your pattern-hungry brain, the divergences displayed by this indicator will — as they do on other indicators — appear to often indicate turnarounds. My opinion is that reality is generally quite sobering and I have no reliable information that would tend to prove otherwise. Exercise caution when using them. Consequently, I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm of traders in identifying bullish/bearish divergences. For me, the best course of action when a divergence occurs is to wait and see what happens from there. That is the rationale underlying how my divergence levels work; they take note of a signal's level when a divergence occurs, and it's the signal's behavior from that point on that determines if the post-divergence action is bullish/bearish.
Superfluity
In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display lots of information. While learning to use a new indicator inevitably requires an adaptation period where we put it through its paces and try out all its options, once you have become used to it and decide to adopt it, rigorously eliminate the components you don't use and configure the remaining ones so their visual prominence reflects their relative importance in your analysis. I tried to provide flexible options for traders to control this indicator's visuals for that exact reason — not for window dressing.
█ LIMITATIONS
• This script uses a special characteristic of the `security()` function allowing the inspection of intrabars — which is not officially supported by TradingView.
It has the advantage of permitting a more robust calculation of volume delta than other methods on historical bars, but also has its limits.
• Intrabar inspection only works on some chart timeframes: 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month.
The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions.
• When the difference between the chart’s timeframe and the intrabar timeframe is too great, runtime errors will occur. The Auto-Steps selection mechanisms should avoid this.
• All volume is not created equally. Its source, components, quality and reliability will vary considerably with sectors and instruments.
The higher the quality, the more reliably volume delta information can be used to guide your decisions.
You should make it your responsibility to understand the volume information provided in the data feeds you use. It will help you make the most of volume delta.
█ NOTES
For traders
• The Data Window shows key values for the indicator.
• While this indicator displays some of the same information calculated in my Delta Volume Columns ,
I have elected to make it a separate publication so that traders continue to have a simpler alternative available to them. Both code bases will continue to evolve separately.
• All gradients used in this indicator determine their brightness intensities using advances/declines in the signal—not their relative position in a pre-determined scale.
• Volume delta being relative, by nature, it is particularly well-suited to Forex markets, as it filters out quite elegantly the cyclical volume data characterizing the sector.
If you are interested in volume delta, consider having a look at my other "Delta Volume" indicators:
• Delta Volume Realtime Action displays realtime volume delta and tick information on the chart.
• Delta Volume Candles builds volume delta candles on the chart.
• Delta Volume Columns is a simpler version of this indicator.
For coders
• I use the `f_c_gradientRelativePro()` from the PineCoders Color Gradient Framework to build my gradients.
This function has the advantage of allowing begin/end colors for both the bull and bear colors. It also allows us to define the number of steps allowed for each gradient.
I use this to modulate the gradients so they perform optimally on the combination of the signal used to calculate advances/declines,
but also the nature of the visual component the gradient applies to. I use fewer steps for choppy signals and when the gradient is used on discrete visual components
such as volume columns or chart bars.
• I use the PineCoders Coding Conventions for Pine to write my scripts.
• I used functions modified from the PineCoders MTF Selection Framework for the selection of timeframes.

Liquid RSI - Marrying The Relative Strength Index And The VolumeIntroduction
I recently derived the calculation of the relative strength index, an indicator that aim to spot overbought and oversold assets, but what is an overbought/sold asset ? Can such things be estimated with price alone ?
This why i propose a modification of the relative strength using my recently proposed efficient calculation including volume information in order to spot overbought/sold asset.
Scaling A Liquid Market
The relative strength index detect an overbought/sold asset when higher/lower than a certain level, often 80/20. An overbought asset, or better say over evaluated, is more attractive to sell because prices are no longer attractive to buy, it has reached its value of interest for traders looking to go long, we can then expect the price to correct and start a trend of opposite direction, while an oversold asset is more attractive to buy based on the same logic.
The idea of talking about over bought and over sold without taking into account the volume can be a bit strange, since volume is directly related to the quantity of contracts traded, an higher volume can show sign of a more active market, which can describe the terms : overbought/sold a bit better. Many indicators used the rsi framework with volume, the money flow index for example, but it can be interesting to provide other alternatives.
The Indicator
The indicator is based on the average positive changes in price multiplied by positive changes in volume divided by the average absolute change in price multiplied by the absolute changes in volume. The average is based on the wilder moving average which is a simple exponential filter with smoothing constant 1/length .
The indicator will react according to the volume magnitude, higher volumes will make the indicator go over/under the overbought/sold threshold more easily, in the image above, the indicator is currently saying that the market is under evaluated, which is not the case for the RSI. Such situation allow us to take a position that we could't take if we base our judgement only on price change magnitude.
The indicator has a tendency to be over/under the thresholds a longer period of time if the volume is relatively high.
An interesting effect the indicator has it to ignore movements with moderate volume, the indicator is less prone to cross under a threshold and to go back to it, this is shown in the image above. Another observation we can make is that the proposed indicator is smoother than the rsi, this is certainly due to the fact that the volume underweight small price changes.
Conclusions
I proposed a modification of the relative strength index that also take into account volume information. The proposed indicator is also smoother. Regarding its ability to detect overbought and oversold market, it has indeed the capacity to do it, however the problem remain the same, what is the extent of the correction following an overbought/oversold market ? We can see that the correction can be minor, and thus be followed by a large movements correlated with the main trend.
With those oscillators we are interested into knowing the end of the "whole trend", and they fail to do this because they use past information. I still hope the indicator find some creative usages amongst the community.
Thanks for reading ! And remember to ask before using the script code, it pains me to see minor changes on scripts i can pass 3 hours on.
Relative Volume (RVOL) - Beasley SavageRelative Volume, often times called RVOL, is an indicator that tells traders how current volume is compared to past trading volumes over a given period. It is kind of a like a radar for how “in-play” a stock is. The higher the relative volume is the more in play it is.
Relative Volume is displayed as a ratio. So if it is showing 3.5 relative volume, that means it is trading at 3.5 times its normal volume.
cooltoyz: Volume Delta RealTime v1.0This is a tool, shows the volume variation % strength related to the X past candles.
The current candle is shown in real time, until candle closes.
The visualization of the candle time to close is a thin line, that is 100% for all past candles and slowly goes up for the current candle.
Best with an example:
with a 4h candle, 1 hour has wasted already. This is 25% of all the candle time. So, if volume is also at 25% of the last candles traded, we can expect(yeah, you wish) that by candle close, around 100% of the last volumes average will be traded.
Or two:
in a 4h candle, we're at 10mins., around 8% of total candle time. If volume traded is already at 57% of average past volumes, something big is going on.
Note 1: in the indicator's "Format" pop-up there is a "candle minutes" field, it MUST match the chart timeframe in minutes (ex: 4h=240min)
Note 2: the back volume function check can be switched between the methods "highest value" or "average", in the Format->inputs
Note 3: when a new candle opens, it will go craaayeeezeee!!, because the extreme small values introduce a lot of rounding errors. just let it go, it calms it self after ~0.5% of candle time has passed.
There are more examples and details in the early version of this indicator, check my published scripts.
Volume Point of Control with Fib Based Profile🍀Description:
This indicator is a comprehensive volume profile analysis tool designed to identify key price levels based on trading activity within user-defined timeframes. It plots the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL), along with dynamically calculated Fibonacci levels derived from the developing period's range. It offers extensive customization for both historical and developing levels.
🍀Core Features:
Volume Profiling (POC, VAH, VAL):
Calculates and plots the POC (price level with the highest volume), VAH, and VAL for a selected timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly).
The Value Area percentage is configurable. 70% is common on normal volume profiles, but this script allows you to configure multiple % levels via the fib levels. I recommend using 2 versions of this indicator on a chart, one has Value Area at 1 (100% - high and low of lookback) and the second is a specified VA area (i.e. 70%) like in the chart snapshot above. See examples at the bottom.
Historical Levels:
Plots POC, VAH, and VAL from previous completed periods.
Optionally displays only "Unbroken" levels – historical levels that price has not yet revisited, which can act as stronger magnets or resistance/support.
The user can manage the number of historical lines displayed to prevent chart clutter.
Developing Levels:
Shows the POC, VAH, and VAL as they form in real-time during the current, incomplete period. This provides insight into intraday/intra-period value migration.
Dynamic Fibonacci Levels:
Calculates and plots Fibonacci retracement/extension levels based dynamically on the range between the developing POC and the developing VAH/VAL.
Offers 8 configurable % levels above and below POC that can be toggled on/off.
Visual Customization:
Extensive options for colors, line styles, and widths for all plotted levels.
Optional gradient fill for the Value Area that visualizes current price distance from POC - option to invert the colors as well.
Labels for developing levels and Fibonacci levels for easy identification.
🍀Characteristics:
Volume-Driven: Levels are derived from actual trading volume, reflecting areas of high participation and price agreement/disagreement.
Timeframe Specific: The results are entirely dependent on the chosen profile timeframe.
Dynamic & Static Elements: Developing levels and Fibs update live, while historical levels remain fixed once their period closes.
Lagging (Historical) & Potentially Leading: Historical levels are based on the past, but are often respected by future price action. Developing levels show current dynamics.
🍀How to Use It:
Identifying Support & Resistance: Historical and developing POCs, VAHs, and VALs are often key areas where price may react. Unbroken levels are particularly noteworthy.
Market Context & Sentiment: Trading above the POC suggests bullish strength/acceptance of higher prices, while trading below suggests bearishness/acceptance of lower prices.
Entry/Exit Zones: Interactions with these levels (rejections, breakouts, tests) can provide potential entry or exit signals, especially when confirming with other analysis methods.
Dynamic Targets: The Fibonacci levels calculated from the developing POC-VA range offer potential intraday/intra-period price targets or areas of interest.
Understanding Value Migration: Observing the movement of the developing POC/VAH/VAL throughout the period reveals where value is currently being established.
🍀Potential Drawbacks:
Input Sensitivity: The choice of timeframe, Value Area percentage, and volume resolution heavily influences the generated levels. Experimentation is needed for optimal settings per instrument/market. (I've found that Range Charts can provide very accurate volume levels on TV since the time element is removed. This helps to refine the accuracy of price levels with high volume.)
Volume Data Dependency: Requires accurate volume data. May be less reliable on instruments with sparse or questionable volume reporting.
Chart Clutter: Enabling all features simultaneously can make the chart busy. Utilize the line management inputs and toggle features as needed.
Not a Standalone Strategy: This indicator provides context and key levels. It should be used alongside other technical analysis tools and price action reading for robust decision-making.
Developing Level Fluctuation: Developing POC/VA/Fib levels can shift considerably, especially early in a new period, before settling down as more volume accumulates and time passes.
🍀Recommendations/Examples:
I recommend have this indicator on your chart twice, one has the VA set at 1 (100%) and has the fib levels plotted. The second has the VA set to 0.7 (70%) to highlight the defined VA.
Here is an example with 3 on a chart. VA of 100%, VA of 80%, and VA of 20%

█ TECHNICAL IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
Exceeding Bars Management
The script dynamically adjusts the number of bars used in the volume profile calculation based on the selected timeframe and the maximum allowed bars (max_bars_back).
If the total number of bars exceeds the predefined threshold (6000 bars), the script reduces the lookback period (lookback_bars) by trimming some of the historical data, ensuring the chart does not become overloaded with data.
The adjustment is made based on the ratio of bars per candle (bars_per_candle), ensuring that the volume profile remains computationally efficient while maintaining its relevance.
█ EXAMPLE USE CASES
1. Visible Range Mode
For analyzing a recent trend and focusing on only the visible part of the chart, enabling the "Use Visible Chart Range" option calculates the profile based on the current view, without considering historical data outside the visible area.
2. Fixed Lookback Depth
For analyzing a specific period in the past (e.g., the last 200 bars), disabling the visible range and setting a fixed lookback depth of 200 bars ensures the profile always considers the last 200 bars, regardless of the visible range.
3. Custom Resolution
If there’s a need for greater control over the timeframe used for volume profile calculations (e.g., using a 5-minute resolution on a 15-minute chart), enabling custom resolution and setting the desired timeframe provides this control.
HAPPY TRADING ✌️
Volume-Adjusted Schaff Trend Cycle (VASTC)Volume-Adjusted Schaff Trend Cycle (VASTC)
The VASTC is a fairly fast-moving oscillator designed to identify trends early and signal when trends may be nearing their end. While it can be used for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies , it shines in trend-following setups. It’s particularly useful for catching the start of a trend and giving early warnings that a trend might end soon, making it a valuable addition to a multi-indicator system.
How It Works:
The VASTC adapts the traditional Schaff Trend Cycle by adjusting the MACD component with volume data. This volume-adjusted MACD is run through two stochastic processes , applying exponential smoothing to enhance responsiveness. Volume sensitivity allows the VASTC to adapt dynamically to periods of high or low trading activity, providing more reliable trend signals.
Recommended Use:
Use VASTC in confluence with other indicators to confirm trend entries and exits. It’s best for identifying early trend setups rather than sustaining prolonged trend trades. When used alongside other indicators, especially those with a longer-term outlook or momentum based trend indicators, you’ll gain a clearer signal for potential exits or entries. Always backtest the VASTC on your chosen assets to determine the most effective input parameters, as the defaults may not suit all markets or assets. Different assets behave differently, and adjustments in parameters can improve its ability to analyze the assets you're looking at.
Parameters:
Length : Sets the primary smoothing length.
Fast/Slow Length : Adjust the speed of the volume-adjusted MACD component.
Factor : Controls the final smoothing applied to the STC.
Overbought/Oversold Levels : Defines overbought/oversold levels.
Experiment with these settings to customize the VASTC to your trading strategy and asset.
Disclaimer : This indicator is a tool to complement your trading analysis and should not be used in isolation. Always backtest and use other confluence signals for best results. The assets I looked at when making this indicator are almost certainly different than what you're looking at.
Candlestick based on volume
This code is an indicator for drawing custom candle charts based on volume and analyzing price fluctuations and trends. A specific description is provided below:
Main functions and analysis details
Cumulative Volume Calculation
Accumulates the volume of all bars and calculates the cumulative volume. This gives an idea of the total volume of volume.
Counter Calculation
The value of the counter is determined by continuously dividing the accumulated volume by 2. This counter shows the change in volume.
Calculation of Counter Change and Duration
When the value of the counter changes, the duration of the change is calculated. This tells us how long the change in volume lasted.
Calculation of slope and angle
The slope is calculated from the amount of change in the counter and the period of time it took for the counter to change, and the angle is calculated from the slope. This allows you to visualize the trend of the volume change and the direction of the trend.
Setting Counter Color and Background Color
Set the color of the counter based on the period of change. Longer periods are displayed in red, and shorter periods in green. The background color also changes based on the angle, indicating the strength and direction of the trend.
Drawing Custom Candles
Draw custom candles based on volume changes. As the counter changes, a new candle is formed, highlighting the price movement.
Display of simple moving averages (SMA)
Calculates the average of prices over a selected period of time and displays that average. This smoothes out price trends and fluctuations and clearly shows the direction of the trend.
Comparison of the upper and lower lengths of candles
Calculates the upper and lower lengths of each candle (lower half and upper half) and changes the color of the SMA based on which is longer. This visualizes the effect of price fluctuations due to the shape of the candles.
Key Points of Use
Trend Analysis: Analyze the direction and strength of a trend using custom candles based on volume, background color, and tilt angle.
Change highlighting: Visually highlight important points with counter changes and flags.
Price Averaging: Use SMA to smooth price trends, reduce noise, and determine trend direction.
Volume DiffusionIndicator Overview
This indicator calculates potential volume (volume) based on the highest and lowest prices within a specified time period and displays it on the chart. This allows you to visually analyze the relationship between price fluctuations and volume.
How to use
Enter set values:.
setlength: Specify the period of time. The default value is 20. The calculation is based on the highest and lowest prices within this period.
sample_interval: Specifies the sampling interval. The default value is 1, sampling is done every bar. This is used to adjust the amount of data.
Display on chart:.
Blue line: highprice_ (highest price during the period).
Red line: Displays the lowprice_ (lowest price in the period).
Green line: Displays the potential volume (Potential_volume). It is the total volume at which the price changed.
Orange/purple step line: Displays volume_cal (calculated volume). This is the calculated volume change based on historical volume.
Interpretation:.
Change in highs and lows: As highs and lows change, the potential volume is updated accordingly. This allows us to track volume changes at key price levels.
volume_cal changes: Track volume changes and analyze how volume changes when prices reach highs and lows.
Reasons why smaller time frames work better
Data Density:.
Smaller timeframes (e.g., 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes) provide more bars, so price fluctuations and volume changes can be observed in detail. This allows the indicator to update more frequently and accurately reflect the relationship between price and volume.
Quick Reaction:.
With shorter time frames, price fluctuations and volume changes are captured more quickly, making the indicator calculations more sensitive. This allows for immediate analysis of short-term volume changes.
High-precision calculations:.
With longer time frames, there is less data to calculate and volume changes may not be fully reflected. With shorter time frames, the relationship between price changes and volume can be more precisely determined.
Cautions
Data volume limitations: Pine Script™ has limitations on the amount of data that can be used. If you are working with data over a long period of time, errors may occur when attempting to process large amounts of data. It is important to set the sampling interval (sample_interval) appropriately to control the amount of data.
Calculation performance: Even when using small time periods, performance can be affected by the complexity of the calculation. Pay attention to the sampling interval and the efficiency of the calculation.
The indicator can be used to better understand the relationship between price fluctuations and volume to help analyze and improve trading strategies. In particular, it allows for more accurate analysis on shorter time frames.
Visible Range Volume Profile Heatmap [MyTradingCoder]The Visible Range Volume Profile Heatmap indicator offers a visually striking and insightful way to analyze trading volume within the visible price range of your chart. This tool goes beyond traditional volume profiles by displaying volume distribution as a heatmap, where color intensity represents the volume traded at each price level.
Key Features:
Dynamic Heatmap: Displays volume concentration using a color gradient, making it easy to spot areas of high and low trading activity.
Customizable Grid: Choose between auto-scaling or manual grid configuration to suit your analysis needs.
Flexible Color Schemes: Select from tri-tone or two-tone color palettes to represent bullish and bearish volume.
Point of Control (POC) Overlay: Highlights the price level with the highest trading volume, a critical reference point for traders.
Adjustable Transparency: Fine-tune the visibility of the heatmap to balance it with other chart elements.
Lookback Period: Customize the number of bars used for volume profile calculation.
How to Use the Visible Range Volume Profile Heatmap:
The Visible Range Volume Profile Heatmap is a powerful tool that can significantly enhance your market analysis when used effectively. To get the most out of this indicator, start by observing the overall pattern of the heatmap. Areas with darker colors represent higher volume concentration, indicating price levels where significant trading activity has occurred. These areas often serve as important support or resistance levels, as they represent prices where many traders have established positions.
Pay close attention to the Point of Control (POC), represented by a line running through the heatmap. This line marks the price level with the highest trading volume and often acts as a magnet for price action. Price tends to gravitate towards the POC, making it a crucial reference point for potential reversals or continuations.
When analyzing potential trades, consider how the current price relates to the volume distribution shown in the heatmap. If the price is approaching a high-volume area from below, it might face resistance; conversely, if it's approaching from above, that area might provide support. Breakouts beyond significant volume nodes can be particularly noteworthy, as they may signal a shift in market sentiment.
Use the heatmap in conjunction with your existing trading strategies. For example, if you're a trend follower, you might look for breakouts beyond major volume areas as confirmation of trend continuation. If you're a mean reversion trader, you might consider entries when price moves away from high-volume nodes, anticipating a return to these heavily traded levels.
The indicator can also help in identifying potential profit targets. As price moves away from one volume node, it often continues until it reaches the next significant volume area. These areas can serve as logical places to consider taking profits or adjusting your position.
For longer-term analysis, observe how the volume profile changes over time. Shifts in the distribution of volume can indicate evolving market dynamics. A broadening of the high-volume area might suggest increasing uncertainty, while a narrowing could indicate building consensus about price.
Settings Explained:
Auto Grid Configuration:
The "Auto Scale" option automatically adjusts the grid size based on the visible chart area. This ensures optimal visualization regardless of your chart's dimensions or zoom level.
Auto Scale Grid Size: Determines the total number of cells in the heatmap. A higher number provides more granular detail but may increase calculation time.
Auto Scale Grid Ratio: Adjusts the aspect ratio of the grid cells. A higher ratio creates wider, more rectangular cells, while a lower ratio results in more square-shaped cells. Experiment to find the best visual representation for your analysis.
Lookback Period:
The lookback setting determines how many columns (bars) of historical data the indicator uses to calculate the volume profile. A larger lookback will provide a more comprehensive view of historical volume distribution but may be slower to react to recent changes. A smaller lookback will be more responsive to recent volume patterns but may miss longer-term trends.
Manual Grid Configuration:
If you prefer more control over the grid layout, you can switch to manual configuration:
Column Width: Sets the number of price bars each column of the heatmap represents. A wider column aggregates more data, smoothing out the profile.
Number of Rows: Determines the vertical resolution of the heatmap. More rows provide finer price level detail but may make the overall pattern less distinct.
Tips for Optimization:
For short-term trading, use a smaller lookback and finer grid settings to capture recent market dynamics.
For longer-term analysis, increase the lookback and use wider columns to identify persistent volume patterns.
If the heatmap appears too blocky, increase the number of rows or decrease the column width.
If the heatmap is too granular, making patterns hard to discern, do the opposite.
Remember, the ideal settings often depend on your specific trading timeframe, the asset you're analyzing, and your personal analytical preferences. Don't hesitate to experiment with different configurations to find what works best for your trading style.

Effective Volume Z-ScoreThis indicator aims at responding the question: is the current trend supported by volume?
The concept and formula
The central concept is the Effective Volume, calculated as follow:
effectiveVolume = volume * (close - open) / (high - low)
Then the Effective Volume Z-Score indicator is calculated by smoothing the effective volume and applying the z-score function:
zscore(x) = (x - mean) / stdev
Essentially, the indicator's value represents the number of standard deviations of the effective volume away from the mean.
How to use it
This indicator should be used for trend confirmation.
For an uptrend, the bigger the indicator value, the greater the volume support, while for a downtrend, the lower the indicator value, the greater the volume support.
Divergences are also important, as with every volume indicator.
Saty Volume StackBreaks volume into buy and sell volume and stacks them based on which side has higher volume.
Dynamic Buy / Sell Stack
Unlike other buy/sell volume indicators, which statically display this information (typically green over red), this indicator dynamically stacks the higher volume side on top. For example, green over red indicates more buy-side volume, red over green indicators more sell-side volume.
Current Candle Volume Buy/Sell %
A label shows the % buy vs sell volume for the current candle in real-time. This label is also dynamic with the left position being higher volume.
How the Buy/Sell Volume is Calculated
Buy/Sell % is calculated based on price.
Buy % is calculated using the distance between the low of the candle to the closing value of the candle and dividing that by the total range of the candle high to low.
Sell % is calculated using the distance between the high of the candle to the closing value of the candle and dividing that by the total range of the candle high to low.
Please note this is a proxy metric and while it is incredibly useful, it is not going to match up exactly with actual buy/sell volume that can be found on tape.
HTF Volume by Prosum SolutionsOverview of Features
This indicator was inspired by the work of "LonesomeTheBlue" in the script called "Volume Multi Time Frame" . This script will provide a highly customizable interface to specify the higher timeframe period for the volume with the ability to link to the "HTF Candles by Prosum Solutions" indicator using the "HTF Setting Code" data point, as well as adjusting various styling options for the volume bar color fill and border.
Usage Information
The indicator can be applied to any chart at any time frame. When the "Chart" option is chosen for the "Timeframe" field, the indicator will attempt to find a higher timeframe resolution to ensure the volume bars are drawn. The indicator will simply accumulate the volume value for each candlestick bar and reset when the new high timeframe period has started. The color of the volume bars are relative to the higher timeframe setting so that you can visually interpret when the volume in a rising or falling state relative to the higher timeframe price action.
If you choose to add the "HTF Candles by Prosum Solutions" indicator, you can link this indicator to it by choosing the "HTF Candles" option for the "Timeframe Source" field and then choosing the "HTF Setting Code" option for the "HTF Candles" field. At this point, whenever you adjust the high timeframe setting in the "HTF Candles by Prosum Solutions" indicator, this indicator will automatically adjust the timeframe to match it, thereby reducing the steps you need to take to keep the two indicators in sync.
Enjoy! 👍
