Volume SpikesShows volume spikes over a certain threshold, using a symbol's volume moving average as the baseline. Offers a few different filters regarding candle shapes and types, in an attempt to catch quick moves on extremely low timeframes (sub-1m).
Ultimately I would like to integrate this logic into an indicator that contains automated stop raid/inducement detection.

High volume zone█ OVERVIEW
Show high volume zone in a lower timeframe.
█ CONCEPTS
1- Choose an amount of volume (1 000 by default)
2- Choose a timeframe (1 minute by default)
3- It highlight every zone where volume was > 1000 in less than one minute
█ OTHER SECTIONS
Limitation:
- Unfortunately, I didn't find a way to make it in a lower timeframe than 1 minute with Pinescript
- It is truncate by minute so a high volume between two lower tf candles may not be count
If you have a solution for these, glad to hear it.
Volume Profile PremiumHello, my friends, this is a new fine-grained volume profile indicator. As is known to all, the volume profile indicator is a charting tool that shows how much volume has occurred at each price throughout the trading session. The volume profile indicates the prices favored by the market or those ignored by the market, which can give traders clues as to where prices are likely to go shortly.
(1) Indicator description
This indicator is based on the function "request.security_lower_tf". See the related usage note for details if you need it.
Support for obtaining volume from a lower timeframe than the current chart and calculating a more fine-grained volume distribution
Due to the increased complexity of the calculation, you need to set a reasonable timeframe to avoid calculation timeout.

Volume OximeterOVERVIEW
The Volume Oximeter (VOXI) is a technical indicator that gauges the amount of volume currently present in the market, relative to the historical volume that was present before. The purpose of this indicator is to filter out with-trend signals during ranging/non-trending conditions.
CONCEPTS
This indicator assumes that trends are more likely to start during periods of high volume, compared to during periods of low volume. This is because high volume indicates that there are bigger players currently in the market, which is necessary to begin a sustained trending move.
So, to determine whether the current volume is "high", it is compared to an average volume for however number of candles back the user specifies.
If the current volume is greater than the average volume, it is reasonable to assume we are in a high volume period. Thus, this is the ideal time to enter a trending trade due to the assumption that trends are more likely to start during these high volume periods.
The default values in the indicator are designed for use on the daily chart but can be applied to any timeframe.
The default volume lookback period is 259 since there are usually 259 daily candles in a year on Forex daily charts. This means that the average volume will represent the average volume over the past year. This would be 365 on Crypto daily charts, since the Crypto is open 24/7 instead of 24/5). This is what the current volume will be compared to.
The default smoothing lookback period is 10, but this can be adjusted depending on the indicator that's giving you your with-trend signals. After my backtesting, 10 was the best value for my with-trend indicator, so you should do your own testing to see which value works best with your with-trend indicator.
HOW DO I READ THIS INDICATOR?
If the VOXI line is above or equal to zero (indicated by the blue color), the current volume is greater than the historical average volume.
This is a good time to take with-trend signals since high volume is necessary for sustained trending moves to begin.
If the VOXI line is below zero (indicated by the red color), the current volume is less than the historical average volume.
This is a good time to ignore with-trend signals since an absence of volume indicates that there aren't big market participants to participate in a new trending move.
Uniform Volume ProfileUniform Volume Profile
The volume of a single candlestick is uniformly distributed by its range (high - low) along all the colliding volume profile bars.
For example, if a 10% of a candlestick intersects some volume bar (horizontal line) only the 10% of that candlestick volume will contribute to that profile.
Volumetric colored candles with matching pivot point linesCandles are split into 10 categories based on their volume, and can be changed in the options. By default and in the images, white is very high volume, reds are high volume, yellows are medium volume, greens are low and dark-grey is very low.
Adjustments for scale are included in the options. The Magnitude option is a 10x multiplier, so 1=10, 2=100, 3=1000, etc., up to 9. There is also a Multiplier selection option where 1=1, 2=2, 3=3, 4=4, etc.
To attenuate for a given chart, these multipliers will need to be changed. In general, all white means you need to increase the Magnitude and all dark-grey means you need to decrease the magnitude. Somewhere between those two, the Multiplier can be used for further calibration. All this color coating is relational, like a spectrum. As you adjust you will see them maintaining their proportions as the candles switch color (ex. green become yellow while yellow becomes red).
I have also included pivot lines that follow the same logic for color coding. Two options exist for adjusting the pivot high and pivot low points respectively. They do not always correspond to the exact color of the candle producing them, but they should be a rough average (ie. red and green bars making yellow lines). They make for good indicators of how much liquidity may be at a certain support/resistance level. The lines can also be turned off altogether.
If your candles aren't looking right, go to settings of both regular candles and heikin-ashi, and uncheck both border and wick.
I still have some code to clean up and I plan on expanding upon this study. If you like my work consider tipping!
Simple Volume Oscillator (SVO), by @BlueJayBirdSimple Volume Oscillator, or SVO. I came up with this idea while studying Spread Volume Analysis (SVA). It uses the Trading View's built-in RSI function to simplify volume values for further interpretation.
// -------------------- ENGLISH, Inglés
How to Use:
- When there's little volume activity, expect the oscillator to be closer to the zero line.
- Wait for a probable sudden increment up to close 100 when volume enters into the market.
- It works pretty much as a volatility oscillator, but it eliminates the noise of the price, and the noise of the volume bars, always so vertical and linear, which sometimes are hard to understand at first glance.
- As any oscillator, it suffers from some lagging when compared to the price action, but for the most part is pretty accurate.
- Remember the cyclical nature of markets: If things are quite, something is coming.
- NOTE: The oscillator WILL NOT indicate market direction, that bias is up to the analyst to find out.
- Like. Follow. Comment.
// -------------------- SPANISH, Español
Cómo usar:
- Cuando hay poca actividad de volumen, el oscilador debería estar cercano a cero.
- Esperá por un posible incremento repentino hasta 100 cuando entre volumen en el mercado.
- Funciona de manera similar a un oscilador de volatilidad, pero elimina cualquier ruido del precio, y el ruido de las barras de volumen, siempre tan verticales y lineales, lo que las hace difícil de descifrar a simple vista.
- Como cualquier oscilador, sufre de un ligero retraso respecto de la acción del precio, pero por lo demás, es bastante preciso.
- Recordá la naturaleza cíclica de los mercados: Si las cosas están quietas, es porque algo está por suceder.
- NOTA: Este oscilador NO VA A decirte qué dirección va a seguir el precio; eso es algo que vas a tener que descubrir por tu cuenta.
- Like, seguí, comentá.
Up/Down Volume RatioUp/Down Volume Ratio is calculated by summing volume on days when it closes up and divide that total by the volume on days when the stock closed down.
High volume up days are typically a sign of accumulation(buying) by big players, while down days are signs of distribution(selling) by big market players. The Up Down volume ratio takes this assumption and turns it into a tangible number that's easier for the trader to understand. My formula is calculated using the past 50 periods, be warned it will not display a value for stocks with under 50 periods of trading history. This indicator is great for identify accumulation of growth stocks early on in their moves, most of the time you would like a growth stocks U/D value to be above 2, showing institutional sponsorship of a stock.
Up/Down Volume value interpretation:
U/D < 1 -> Bearish outlook, as sellers are in control
U/D = 1 -> Sellers and Buyers are equal
U/D > 1 -> Bullish outlook, as buyers are in control
U/D > 2 -> Bullish outlook, significant accumulation underway by market makers
U/D >= 3 -> MONSTER STOCK ALERT, market makers can not get enough of this stock and are ravenous to buy more
U/D values greater than 2 are rare and typically do not last very long, and U/D >= 3 are extremely rare one example I kind find of a stock's U/D peaking above 3 was Google back in 2005.
MAKE SURE TO HIT THE SETTINGS WHEEL AND CHECK THE BOX NEXT TO PLOT IN ORDER TO GET RID OF THE PLOTTED LINE.
Open-source Buy and Sell VolumeVersión open source de scripts anteriores / Open source version of previous scripts
Confío en que esta vez no esté violando ninguna de las reglas...
A pesar de que el volumen simplemente son operaciones que se realizan en un determinado espacio de tiempo, este indicador intenta separar dentro de una vela el volumen de compra y de venta.
Una vez separado el volumen de cada vela el indicador se calcula en base a la media simple (larga) menos la media exponencial (corta)
Los puntos azules indican posibles zonas de soporte o resistencia.
----------------------------------------------------------
Although the volume is simply operations carried out in a certain period of time, this indicator tries to separate the long and short volume into a candle.
Once the volume of each candle is separated, the indicator is calculated based on the simple average (long length) minus the exponential average (short length)
The blue dots indicate possible areas of support or resistance.
Accumulation/Distribution VolumeThis is a simple yet powerful indicator that can replace volume, Money Flow, Chaikin Money Flow, Price Volume Trend (PVT), Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL), On Balance Volume (OBV).
When "Baseline Chart" option is disabled, it looks similar to regular volume. The volume bars has two shades of green and red. The dark shade shows amount of accumulation and the light shade shows total volume (what you see on a regular volume indicator). Blue line is the moving average (or cumulative total) of A/D and the gray line is for total volume.
When money volume is enabled, volume it multiplied by price. As you can see in the chart below, trade volume in terms of USD was declining after ATH. This is not the case in regular volume chart which shows instrument volume (chart above).
In Baseline view, the aggregation method you choose can turn it into different indicators. With EMA/SMA aggregation, blue and gray line shows buy/sell pressure. At 0, there is not buy or sell pressure.
If you turn off volume bars (from style menu), it gives you a reliable indicator to measure divergence. This should be more reliable than most other range-bound indicators (i.e. RSI, MFI, CMF). I will publish a TA about correctly measuring divergence (it's a must read even if you are a pro trader). Make sure that the length is set to a large number on smaller TFs such as 4h.
For following results, set aggregation to cumulative and turn off money volume:
When wick weight=0, the GRAY line is identical to OBV indicator.
When normalized by spread and wick weight=10, the BLUE line is identical to ADL (improved by true range).
When normalized by previous bar price, wick weight=0, the BLUE line is identical to PVT.
How I use this indicator:
- Baseline chart, replaced my regular volume indicator
- Mostly 4h TF for divergence
- EMA aggregation (and occasional cumulative aggregation) with length above 50. I change the length to 100 and 200 for confirmation.
- Wick weight=0 or max 2.
With this indicator, you can learn how different indicators are built and how they are different from each other. I will publish a TA to explain more about different indicators and their pros and cons.
I will publish this indicator without volume bars and additional options to make it range bound.

Volume-Weighted Price MovementThe Volume-Weighted Price Movement (VWPM) indicator is an easy to read technical analysis tool that analyses how volume and price movement work together to drive market momentum.
How It Works
The VWPM indicator tracks two primary components:
Bullish Movement (green line): Measures the upward price movement weighted by volume. When price closes above the open, this component calculates how much buying pressure exists by multiplying the price change (close - open) by the volume of that period.
Bearish Movement (red line): Measures the downward price movement weighted by volume. When price closes below the open, this component calculates how much selling pressure exists by multiplying the price change (open - close) by the volume of that period.
Bull-Bear Difference (lime/orange line): Shows the net momentum by subtracting bearish movement from bullish movement, providing an at-a-glance view of which force is dominant.
The VWPM integrates volume data to identify whether price movements are backed by significant participation. A large price move with low volume carries less weight than the same move with high volume, providing a more accurate reflection of market strength.
A shorter lookback period makes the indicator more responsive to recent price action, while a longer period smooths out market noise for trend identification.
Interpretation
Bullish Signals
When the green line (bull movement) rises and stays above the red line
When the Bull-Bear Difference line crosses above zero and maintains positive momentum
Divergence between price making lower lows but the bull line making higher lows (hidden strength)
Bearish Signals
When the red line (bear movement) rises and stays above the green line
When the Bull-Bear Difference line crosses below zero and maintains negative momentum
Divergence between price making higher highs but the bull line making lower highs (hidden weakness)

Volume Flow OscillatorVolume Flow Oscillator
Overview
The Volume Flow Oscillator is an advanced technical analysis tool that measures buying and selling pressure by combining price direction with volume. Unlike traditional volume indicators, this oscillator reveals the force behind price movements, helping traders identify strong trends, potential reversals, and divergences between price and volume.
Reading the Indicator
The oscillator displays seven colored bands that fluctuate around a zero line:
Three bands above zero (yellow) indicate increasing levels of buying pressure
Three bands below zero (red) indicate increasing levels of selling pressure
The central band represents the baseline volume flow
Color intensity changes based on whether values are positive or negative
Trading Signals
The Volume Flow Oscillator provides several valuable trading signals:
Zero-line crossovers: When multiple bands cross from negative to positive, potential bullish shift; opposite for bearish
Divergences: When price makes new highs/lows but oscillator bands fail to confirm, signals potential reversal
Volume climax: Extreme readings where outer bands stretch far from zero often precede reversals
Trend confirmation: Strong expansion of bands in direction of price movement confirms genuine momentum
Support/resistance: During trends, bands may remain largely on one side of zero, showing continued directional pressure
Customization
Adjust these key parameters to optimize the oscillator for your trading style:
Lookback Length: Controls overall sensitivity (shorter = more responsive, longer = smoother)
Multipliers: Adjust sensitivity spread between bands for different market conditions
ALMA Settings: Fine-tune how the indicator weights recent versus historical data
VWMA Toggle: Enable for additional smoothing in volatile markets
Best Practices
For optimal results, use this oscillator in conjunction with price action and other confirmation indicators. The multi-band approach helps distinguish between minor fluctuations and significant volume events that might signal important market turns.

FunkyQuokka's $ Volume💡 Why $ Volume Matters
Share volume alone is a half-truth — 1M shares traded at $5 isn’t the same as 1M shares at $500. That’s where dollar volume steps in, offering a far more accurate view of institutional interest, breakout validity, liquidity zones and overall trader conviction.
📈 Features:
Clean histogram of dollar volume (close × volume)
Orange line showing customizable average $ volume
K/M/B formatting for axis scale (no huge ugly numbers)
Minimal design to blend into a multi-pane layout
⚙️ Inputs:
Tweakable average length – defaults to 20

Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL)Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL)
The Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL) helps traders identify unusual volume activity by comparing the current volume to the average historical volume. This makes it easier to spot potential breakouts, reversals, or significant market events that are accompanied by volume confirmation.
What This Indicator Shows
This indicator displays volume as a multiple of average volume, where:
- 1.0x means 100% of average volume
- 2.0x means 200% of average volume (twice the average)
- 0.5x means 50% of average volume (half the average)
Color Coding
The volume bars are color-coded based on configurable thresholds:
- Red: Below average volume (< Average Volume Threshold)
- Yellow: Average volume (between Average Volume and Above Average thresholds)
- Green: Above average volume (between Above Average and Extreme thresholds)
- Magenta: Extreme volume (> Extreme Volume Threshold)
Horizontal Reference Lines
Three dotted horizontal reference lines help you visualize the thresholds:
- Lower gray line: Average Volume Threshold (default: 0.8x)
- Upper gray line: Above Average Threshold (default: 1.25x)
- Magenta line: Extreme Volume Threshold (default: 4.0x)
How To Use This Indicator
1. Volume Confirmation: Use green bars to confirm breakouts or trend changes - stronger moves often come with above-average volume.
2. Low Volume Warning: Red bars during price movements may indicate weak conviction and potential reversals.
3. Extreme Volume Events: Magenta bars (extreme volume) often signal major market events or potential exhaustion points that could lead to reversals.
4. Volume Divergence: Look for divergences between price and volume - for example, if price makes new highs but volume is decreasing (more yellow/red bars), the move may be losing strength.
Settings Configuration
- Average Volume Lookback Period: Number of bars used to calculate the average volume (default: 20)
- Average Volume Threshold: Volume below this level is considered below average (default: 0.8x)
- Above Average Threshold: Volume above this level is considered above average (default: 1.25x)
- Extreme Volume Threshold: Volume above this level is considered extreme (default: 4.0x)
- Colors: Customize colors for each volume category
Important Note: Adjust threshold values only through the indicator settings (not in the Style tab). Changing values in the Style tab will not adjust the coloring of the volume bars.
Adjust these settings based on the specific asset being analyzed and your trading timeframe. More volatile assets may require higher thresholds, while less volatile ones might need lower thresholds.
Intraday Volume Indicator for INDICES by TBTPH Pine Script code for an intraday volume indicator with session and lunch break highlights looks great! Here’s a summary of what each part of the script does:
Indicator Settings:
The indicator is set to show on a separate pane (overlay=false).
The SMA Length is adjustable with an input box (default of 20).
Volume and SMA Calculation:
You calculate the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume over the selected length.
The volume color is determined based on whether the close price is higher or lower than the previous close and if the volume is above or below the SMA.
Volume Plot:
Volume is plotted as a histogram with different colors to indicate if the volume is higher or lower than the SMA.
You plot the SMA of the volume with an orange line for easier comparison.
Background Color:
You set a light gray background color to give a subtle contrast.
NYSE and LSE trading sessions are highlighted with green and blue, respectively.
Lunch break periods are highlighted with a white background for both exchanges.
Here are a couple of improvements or suggestions you might consider:
Session Time Overlap Handling:
If the script is applied to a chart where both NYSE and LSE data is visible, they may overlap depending on the time zone of your chart. Ensure the session times align with the active market's timezone, especially if you are using a chart with a different timezone setting.
Color Customization:
The color scheme for bullish/bearish volume could be enhanced further. For example, you could introduce more transparency for low-volume periods to make the histogram appear more subtle during less active trading times.
Handling Different Time Zones:
If your chart is not in the "America/New_York" or "GMT" time zone, be mindful of the session times. The timestamp function depends on the chart’s time zone, so ensuring you're adjusting for different markets is key.
Premarket VolumeTimeframe: Use on intraday charts (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute) with extended hours enabled.
Behavior: The plot will appear at 4:00 AM, grow as volume accumulates, and disappear at 9:30 AM each day.
Lemon/Lime Volume Lookback IndicatorThe indicator focuses on analyzing volume patterns.
It calculates a relative volume metric by comparing the current volume to a short-term simple moving average of volume.
The code identifies volume spikes when the relative volume exceeds a user-defined threshold.
These volume spikes are visually represented on the chart as small circles:
Yellow circles appear above bars for bearish volume spikes (when price closed lower)
Green circles appear below bars for bullish volume spikes (when price closed higher)
Users can adjust settings such as the lookback period for volume comparison and the percentage increase that defines a volume spike. This would adjust the readings based on incoming volume. Adjust as needed during different market conditions.
This tool essentially helps traders identify and visualize significant increases in trading volume compared to recent average volume, which could potentially signal important price movements or trend changes.
Volume Block Order AnalyzerCore Concept
The Volume Block Order Analyzer is a sophisticated Pine Script strategy designed to detect and analyze institutional money flow through large block trades. It identifies unusually high volume candles and evaluates their directional bias to provide clear visual signals of potential market movements.
How It Works: The Mathematical Model
1. Volume Anomaly Detection
The strategy first identifies "block trades" using a statistical approach:
```
avgVolume = ta.sma(volume, lookbackPeriod)
isHighVolume = volume > avgVolume * volumeThreshold
```
This means a candle must have volume exceeding the recent average by a user-defined multiplier (default 2.0x) to be considered a significant block trade.
2. Directional Impact Calculation
For each block trade identified, its price action determines direction:
- Bullish candle (close > open): Positive impact
- Bearish candle (close < open): Negative impact
The magnitude of impact is proportional to the volume size:
```
volumeWeight = volume / avgVolume // How many times larger than average
blockImpact = (isBullish ? 1.0 : -1.0) * (volumeWeight / 10)
```
This creates a normalized impact score typically ranging from -1.0 to 1.0, scaled by dividing by 10 to prevent excessive values.
3. Cumulative Impact with Time Decay
The key innovation is the cumulative impact calculation with decay:
```
cumulativeImpact := cumulativeImpact * impactDecay + blockImpact
```
This mathematical model has important properties:
- Recent block trades have stronger influence than older ones
- Impact gradually "fades" at rate determined by decay factor (default 0.95)
- Sustained directional pressure accumulates over time
- Opposing pressure gradually counteracts previous momentum
Trading Logic
Signal Generation
The strategy generates trading signals based on momentum shifts in institutional order flow:
1. Long Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from negative to positive
```
if ta.crossover(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
```
*Logic: Institutional buying pressure has overcome selling pressure, indicating potential upward movement*
2. Short Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from positive to negative
```
if ta.crossunder(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short)
```
*Logic: Institutional selling pressure has overcome buying pressure, indicating potential downward movement*
3. Exit Logic: Positions are closed when the cumulative impact moves against the position
```
if cumulativeImpact < 0
strategy.close("Long")
```
*Logic: The original signal is no longer valid as institutional flow has reversed*
Visual Interpretation System
The strategy employs multiple visualization techniques:
1. Color Gradient Bar System:
- Deep green: Strong buying pressure (impact > 0.5)
- Light green: Moderate buying pressure (0.1 < impact ≤ 0.5)
- Yellow-green: Mild buying pressure (0 < impact ≤ 0.1)
- Yellow: Neutral (impact = 0)
- Yellow-orange: Mild selling pressure (-0.1 < impact ≤ 0)
- Orange: Moderate selling pressure (-0.5 < impact ≤ -0.1)
- Red: Strong selling pressure (impact ≤ -0.5)
2. Dynamic Impact Line:
- Plots the cumulative impact as a line
- Line color shifts with impact value
- Line movement shows momentum and trend strength
3. Block Trade Labels:
- Marks significant block trades directly on the chart
- Shows direction and volume amount
- Helps identify key moments of institutional activity
4. Information Dashboard:
- Current impact value and signal direction
- Average volume benchmark
- Count of significant block trades
- Min/Max impact range
Benefits and Use Cases
This strategy provides several advantages:
1. Institutional Flow Detection: Identifies where large players are positioning themselves
2. Early Trend Identification: Often detects institutional accumulation/distribution before major price movements
3. Market Context Enhancement: Provides deeper insight than simple price action alone
4. Objective Decision Framework: Quantifies what might otherwise be subjective observations
5. Adaptive to Market Conditions: Works across different timeframes and instruments by using relative volume rather than absolute thresholds
Customization Options
The strategy allows users to fine-tune its behavior:
- Volume Threshold: How unusual a volume spike must be to qualify
- Lookback Period: How far back to measure average volume
- Impact Decay Factor: How quickly older trades lose influence
- Visual Settings: Labels and line width customization
This sophisticated yet intuitive strategy provides traders with a window into institutional activity, helping identify potential trend changes before they become obvious in price action alone.

Assumes traders have basic knowledge of price action and volume analysis.
By integrating this indicator into your strategy, you gain a powerful tool to analyze buyer/seller dominance alongside volume trends, improving your market timing and trade execution.
The Buyer and Seller Pressure components in this indicator provide crucial insights into the market's sentiment and momentum by analyzing the price action relative to the trading volume. Here's how they are used:
1. Buyer Pressure:
Formula:
Buyer Pressure = (Close − Open) / (High − Low )
Interpretation:
* A high buyer pressure (≥ 0.75) indicates strong bullish sentiment, where the price closes much higher than it opened, and the range (high-low) is sufficiently wide.
* It identifies periods of aggressive buying, often signaling potential bullish trends or confirming upward momentum.
2. Seller Pressure:
Formula:
Seller Pressure = (Close − Open ) / (High -Low )
Interpretation:
*A high seller pressure (≥ 0.75) suggests strong bearish sentiment, where the price closes much lower than it opened, within a wide range.
*It helps identify periods of aggressive selling, signaling potential bearish trends or downward momentum.
Purpose in the Indicator:
1. Market Sentiment Analysis:
* Buyer Pressure and Seller Pressure allow traders to gauge market sentiment—whether buyers or sellers dominate a particular time frame.
* This helps in identifying trend reversals or confirmations.
2. Decision-Making Framework:
* The indicator uses thresholds (default 0.75) to classify the market into:
* Strong Buy Signal: When buyer pressure is dominant.
* Strong Sell Signal: When seller pressure is dominant.
* Neutral Signal: When neither buyer nor seller pressure dominates.
*This classification provides a straightforward decision-making tool for traders.
Risk Management:
*By identifying periods of strong buying or selling, traders can avoid entering trades in highly volatile or one-sided markets, which helps reduce risk.
Volume Confirmation:
*Integrating volume data with buyer/seller pressure helps confirm trends. For example:
*High buyer pressure accompanied by higher-than-average volume strengthens the bullish signal.
*Similarly, high seller pressure with higher-than-average volume confirms bearish signals.
Trade Timing:
*The indicator highlights conditions of potential entry (strong buy) or exit (strong sell), allowing traders to time their trades better based on real-time market activity.
Use Case:
*Example:
*Suppose the indicator shows Buyer Pressure = 0.85 with daily volume above the 3-day average. This combination suggests strong bullish activity with momentum, signaling a buy opportunity.
*Conversely, if Seller Pressure = 0.80 with volume above the 5-day average, it signals strong bearish momentum, ideal for selling or shorting.
This indicator combines buyer/seller pressure with volume dynamics, making it valuable for short-term and intraday traders looking for precise market entries and exits.
The background color in this indicator plays an important visual role in helping traders quickly identify the market sentiment based on buyer and seller pressure. It provides a dynamic, color-coded background that changes depending on the strength of the market's buying or selling activity.
Here's how it works:
Background Color Logic:
1. Green Background (Strong Buy Signal):
*Condition: The background turns green when buyer pressure is greater than or equal to 0.75 (strong buying pressure).
*Interpretation: A green background indicates that there is significant bullish sentiment in the market, with strong buying activity. Traders can interpret this as an environment conducive to buying or holding long positions.
*Visual Effect: This helps to quickly spot bullish market conditions, reinforcing potential entry signals for buyers.
2.Red Background (Strong Sell Signal):
*Condition: The background turns red when seller pressure is greater than or equal to 0.75 (strong selling pressure).
*Interpretation: A red background indicates that the market is dominated by selling, showing strong bearish sentiment. Traders can consider this as a signal to sell or short the asset.
*Visual Effect: The red background highlights moments when the market is heavily selling, prompting traders to either exit long positions or take short positions.
Gray Background (Neutral/Indecision Zone):
Condition: The background turns gray when neither buyer nor seller pressure exceeds 0.75. This means the market is neutral, with no dominant bullish or bearish sentiment.
Interpretation: A gray background suggests market indecision or balance between buyers and sellers. It can indicate periods of consolidation or sideways movement where no strong trend is forming.
Visual Effect: The gray background helps traders avoid entering trades when the market lacks a clear direction or when the sentiment is neutral, reducing risk during indecisive times.
Practical Use:
Instant Visual Confirmation:
*Traders can use the background color as an instant confirmation of the market’s sentiment. For instance, if the background turns green, traders might feel more confident in making a long (buy) trade.
*If the background turns red, it serves as a strong visual cue to short or exit a long position.
Helps with Trade Timing:
*The background color can be used in conjunction with other indicators and volume data to time entries and exits more effectively. For example:
*A green background with strong volume indicates a strong trend that could justify a buy.
*A red background with a significant volume surge signals strong selling pressure, which could prompt a sell.
Simplifies Market Analysis:
*For traders who prefer visual cues over complex analysis, the background color simplifies market conditions. Instead of focusing on individual numbers or values, the color-coded background gives them a quick, intuitive view of the market sentiment.
Summary:
* Green background = Strong buying pressure (bullish sentiment)
* Red background = Strong selling pressure (bearish sentiment)
* Gray background = Neutral market (indecision or balance between buyers and sellers)
This background color functionality helps traders stay aware of the prevailing market sentiment at a glance, providing an intuitive way to guide trading decisions.

Multi-Timeframe Volume-Weighted RSIA multiple timeframe volume-weighted RSI.
Blue Line = Current Time Frame
Orange Line = Select your desired Time Frame
e.g. Blue = Daily, Orange = Weekly
1. Incorporates Market Commitment
Value: By factoring in volume, the volume-weighted RSI captures the intensity of trading activity behind price movements.
Why it’s useful:
Regular RSI measures price momentum but does not differentiate between moves with high or low trading activity.
A volume-weighted RSI assigns greater importance to price changes occurring on high volume, reflecting stronger market conviction.
2. Improved Signal Reliability
Value: Signals generated by a volume-weighted RSI (e.g., overbought or oversold conditions) may be more reliable because they account for the level of trader participation.
Why it’s useful:
Low-volume price movements often result in false signals or "noise."
A volume-weighted RSI helps filter out such noise, reducing the likelihood of false breakouts or fake reversals.
3. Better Divergence Detection
Value: Divergences between price action and the RSI (bullish or bearish divergences) are more meaningful when confirmed by volume.
Why it’s useful:
Regular RSI might show divergence in price momentum, but this divergence might lack substance if the underlying volume is weak.
A volume-weighted RSI ensures that divergence signals align with periods of significant market participation.
4. Enhanced Trend Analysis
Value: Trends supported by strong volume are given more weight, helping traders better identify and follow trends.
Why it’s useful:
Regular RSI might show overbought or oversold signals prematurely during strong trends.
Volume-weighted RSI considers whether trends are backed by significant market activity, helping avoid early exits.
5. More Meaningful Overbought/Oversold Levels
Value: Levels like 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold) are more credible when supported by volume.
Why it’s useful:
In a regular RSI, overbought or oversold levels might occur on light trading, leading to false reversals.
A volume-weighted RSI ensures these levels are triggered by substantial market participation, increasing their reliability.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: Use the volume-weighted RSI to confirm whether momentum in a trend is supported by strong participation.
Divergence Spotting: Identify divergences with more confidence by prioritizing those with volume support.
Filtering False Breakouts: Avoid entering trades during weak volume phases by focusing on volume-weighted RSI signals.
Limitations:
Market Type Dependency: Its usefulness may diminish in low-volume assets or markets where volume data is unavailable (e.g., forex).
