Volume Profile and Volume Indicator by DGTVolume Profile (also known as Price by Volume) is an charting study that displays trading activity over a specified time period at specific price levels. It is plotted as a horizontal histogram on the finacial isntrumnet's chart that highlights the trader's interest at specific price levels.
The histogram is used by traders to predict areas of support and resistance. Price levels where the traded volume is high could be assumed as support and resistance levels.
Price may experience difficulty moving above or below areas with large bars. Usually there is a great deal of activity on both the buy and sell side and the market stays at that price level for a great deal of time
It is advised to use volume profile in conjunction with other forms of technical analysis to maximize the odds of success
Light version of Volume Profile is added to Price Action - Support & Resistance by DGT

Nifty 20 VolumeThis script computes the volume for Nifty 50 index. I am using top 20 stocks here that constitute about 75% of the Nifty 50. I had used the script created by @shijithlal as a base for this. He has used all 45-50 stocks in his script. You can look that up if you want a more accurate volume.
Heatmap Volume [xdecow]This indicator colors the volume bars and candles according to the volume traded. The calculation of the heat map zones is done as follows:
how many standard deviations the volume are distant from the average volume?

Intra-bar VolumeDisclamer : READ THIS BEFORE USING IT !!!
I have take and try to improuve the source code of indicator "intra-bar volume" by backtest-rookies.com
This indicator categorized the volume in lower timeframe, if the candle close up it's a buying volume, if it close down...
Beware that is not easy to work with different TF on tradingview so you have some limitation on the TF with this indicator. Also in TV we can't have a mutable variable in a security fonction.. so my approche is not clean but it works, if someone find better way, please comment or contact me :)
So by default the indicator can work on the following TF : 5m 15m 30m 60m 120m 240m 480m 720m 1D 1W 12M.
But ... this indicator need a lower timeframe and the number of bar to work correctly, in my code i suppose that the market run 24/7, so you need to adapte it or use intraday TF for other market.
To make sure that the indicator work correctly i have juste add circle, if it's green the buying+selling+balance volume is equal to the volume on the last close candle. If it's red theire is a problem.
I hope you enjoy it, feel free to modify the code and comment if you have any sugestion, i have just make it so maybe i will ajust some part of the code.
Angled Volume Profile [feeble]BETA VERSION
this indicator maps volume as brightness over an SMA. the brightness then fades over time.
It draws 30 bands, so you will need to load multiple instances to get a large picture.
Configure the settings, then copy and paste the indicator, modifying only the vertOffset attribute each time
Patience, bruh. This takes a long time load. Chrome runs it faster than Firefox. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Please let me know if you can think of how to optimize it.
Feedback is appreciated is you use it :)
sample with 6 instances:
settings:
useLog: enable if you are using a log graph
rowHeight: resolution of rows.
vertOffset: normally if you have 5 instances, the values will be -2,-1,0,1,2
fadeAmt: how long it takes for volume to fade once it is picked up
volumeMin and Max: the volume range displayed.
volumeResolution: time resolution at which volume data is collected - this is why the fadeAmt is so high, and why the graph runs out of data after a period back
EMA length: its Actually SMA but I wrote it wrong. eg. for a 20 day period on a 15min chart you go ( 20 days x 24 hrs x 4 quarter hours = 1920) - I hope to automate this in a future version :p
Colored Volume Bars All Markets: Combining Volume SourcesUsing volume in Forex is potentially misleading as we are only provided the broker volume or futures exchange volume for the currency or commodity in a decentralised market. This code combines the volumes from FXCM, Onanda and futures for the instrument being studied. The combination of the volumes could improve the reliability of the volume being considered. Using this approach other volume indicators can also be improved.
Levels Ft. VolumeThese are levels based on volume. The idea is that candles of high volume a higher amount of traders with active long/short positions to either close out, protect, or add to.
A stack of red candles means that area is a point of interest, similar to a VPVR POC.
Volume Biased CandlesVolume Biased Candles
This indicator visualizes the underlying volume polarity of price action by coloring candles based on directional volume bias over a rolling bucket of bars.
Instead of reading price alone, each candle reflects whether buying or selling pressure has dominated within its recent volume structure — giving a more intuitive picture of volume sentiment beneath price movement.
🔹 How it works
Bucket Size (n) → defines how many candles are aggregated to evaluate directional volume bias
For each bucket, total up-volume and down-volume are compared to determine overall market pressure
Volume Bias Score → a continuous ratio from -1 to +1, representing the relative dominance of buyers or sellers
Candles are colored according to the active bias — green for positive (buying), red for negative (selling)
🔹 Use cases
Visualize shifts in market control without needing divergence overlays
Combine with delta divergence or price structure tools to validate entries and exits
Simplify volume and price insights into an intuitive, single-chart visualization
✨ Volume Biased Candles transforms standard candles into a live sentiment gauge, revealing whether the dominant flow behind price movement is bullish or bearish.
Volume Sampled Supertrend [BackQuant]Volume Sampled Supertrend
A Supertrend that runs on a volume sampled price series instead of fixed time. New synthetic bars are only created after sufficient traded activity, which filters out low participation noise and makes the trend much easier to read and model.
Original Script Link
This indicator is built on top of my volume sampling engine. See the base implementation here:
Why Volume Sampling
Traditional charts print a bar every N minutes regardless of how active the tape is. During quiet periods you accumulate many small, low information bars that add noise and whipsaws to downstream signals.
Volume sampling replaces the clock with participation. A new synthetic bar is created only when a pre-set amount of volume accumulates (or, in Dollar Bars mode, when pricevolume reaches a dollar threshold). The result is a non-uniform time series that stretches in busy regimes and compresses in quiet regimes. This naturally:
filters dead time by skipping low volume chop;
standardizes the information content per bar, improving comparability across regimes;
stabilizes volatility estimates used inside banded indicators;
gives trend and breakout logic cleaner state transitions with fewer micro flips.
What this tool does
It builds a synthetic OHLCV stream from volume based buckets and then applies a Supertrend to that synthetic price. You are effectively running Supertrend on a participation clock rather than a wall clock.
Core Features
Sampling Engine - Choose Volume buckets or Dollar Bars . Thresholds can be dynamic from a rolling mean or median, or fixed by the user.
Synthetic Candles - Plots the volume sampled OHLC candles so you can visually compare against regular time candles.
Supertrend on Synthetic Price - ATR bands and direction are computed on the sampled series, not on time bars.
Adaptive Coloring - Candle colors can reflect side, intensity by volume, or a neutral scheme.
Research Panels - Table shows total samples, current bucket fill, threshold, bars-per-sample, and synthetic return stats.
Alerts - Long and Short triggers on Supertrend direction flips for the synthetic series.
How it works
Sampling
Pick Sampling Method = Volume or Dollar Bars.
Set the dynamic threshold via Rolling Lookback and Filter (Mean or Median), or enable Use Fixed and type a constant.
The script accumulates volume (or pricevolume) each time bar. When the bucket reaches the threshold, it finalizes one or more synthetic candles and resets accumulation.
Each synthetic candle stores its own OHLCV and is appended to the synthetic series used for all downstream logic.
Supertrend on the sampled stream
Choose Supertrend Source (Open, High, Low, Close, HLC3, HL2, OHLC4, HLCC4) derived from the synthetic candle.
Compute ATR over the synthetic series with ATR Period , then form upperBand = src + factorATR and lowerBand = src - factorATR .
Apply classic trailing band and direction rules to produce Supertrend and trend state.
Because bars only come when there is sufficient participation, band touches and flips tend to align with meaningful pushes, not idle prints.
Reading the display
Synthetic Volume Bars - The non-uniform candles that represent equal information buckets. Expect more candles during active sessions and fewer during lulls.
Volume Sampled Supertrend - The main line. Green when Trend is 1, red when Trend is -1.
Markers - Small dots appear when a new synthetic sample is created, useful for aligning activity cycles.
Time Bars Overlay (optional) - Plot regular time candles to compare how the synthetic stream compresses quiet chop.
Settings you will use most
Data Settings
Sampling Method - Volume or Dollar Bars.
Rolling Lookback and Filter - Controls the dynamic threshold. Median is robust to outliers, Mean is smoother.
Use Fixed and Fixed Threshold - Force a constant bucket size for consistent sampling across regimes.

ATR Period and Factor - Standard Supertrend controls applied on the synthetic series.
Visuals and UI
Show Synthetic Bars - Turn synthetic candles on or off.
Candle Color Mode - Green/Red, Volume Intensity, Neutral, or Adaptive.
Mark new samples - Puts a dot when a bucket closes.
Show Time Bars - Overlay regular candles for comparison.
Paint candles according to Trend - Colors chart candles using current synthetic Supertrend direction.

Some workflow notes:
Trend Following
Set Sampling Method = Volume, Filter = Median, and a reasonable Rolling Lookback so busy regimes produce more samples.
Trade in the direction of the Volume Sampled Supertrend. Because flips require real participation, you tend to avoid micro whipsaws seen on time bars.
Use the synthetic SMA as a bias rail and trailing reference for partials or re-entries.
Breakout and Continuation
Watch for rapid clustering of new sample markers and a clean flip of the synthetic Supertrend.
The compression of quiet time and expansion in busy bursts often makes breakouts more legible than on uniform time charts.
Mean Reversion
In instruments that oscillate, faded moves against the synthetic Supertrend are easier to time when the bucket cadence slows and Supertrend flattens.
Combine with the synthetic SMA and return statistics in the table for sizing and expectation setting.
Stats table (top right)
Method and Total Samples - Sampling regime and current synthetic history length.
Current Vol or Dollar and Threshold - Live bucket fill versus the trigger.
Bars in Bucket and Avg Bars per Sample - How much time data each synthetic bar tends to compress.
Avg Return and Return StdDev - Simple research metrics over synthetic close-to-close changes.
Why this reduces noise
Time based bars treat a 5 minute print with 1 percent of average participation the same as one with 300 percent. Volume sampling equalizes bar information content. By advancing the bar only when sufficient activity occurs, you skip low quality intervals that add variance but little signal. For banded systems like Supertrend, this often means fewer false flips and cleaner runs.
Notes and tips
Use Dollar Bars on assets where nominal price varies widely over time or across symbols.
Median filter can resist single burst outliers when setting dynamic thresholds.
If you need a stable research baseline, set Use Fixed and keep the threshold constant across tests.
Enable Show Time Bars occasionally to sanity check what the synthetic stream is compressing or stretching.

Bottom line
When you let participation set the clock, your Supertrend reacts to meaningful flow instead of idle prints. The result is a cleaner state machine, fewer micro whipsaws, and a trend read that respects when the market is actually trading.
Volume Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
Description:
This script is a simple script that plots a desired exponential moving average of buy and sell volume as a line chart with a tunable smoothing factor. There is a highlight on the plot area of either green or red to denote if the EMA of buy volume or sell volume is of a higher value. This indicator uses basic math of exponential averages and calculates volume using the formulas: "buy volume" = the product of total volume and the "closing price" minus the "low price" divided by "high price" minus the "low price" for a specific candle. Conversely, "sell volume" = the product of "total volume" and the "high price" minus the "close price" divided by "high price" minus the "low price" for a specific candle.
Utility:
This indicator is an effective way to gauge the acceleration/ deceleration of buyers and sellers in the market and can be used in combination with market structure and important levels to understand if buyers or sellers are taking over at any given time.
How to use this indicator:
There are two settings for this indicator:
1. The Length of the EMA: The length of the EMA can be adjusted based on your preference for a running number of candles' data. If you are interested to know short term changes in volume (e.g. over the past few candles at a major level) you can adjust this setting lower (~3-9 length). Conversely, if you are interested in volume trends over a greater number of candles you can increase this to your liking.
Personal preference : Because I am a short term daytrader/ scalper, I keep this setting at 6 length to see immediate changes in the acceleration or deceleration of buyers/ sellers.
2. The Smoothing Factor: The smoothing factor can be adjusted to further tune the size of trend you are interested in with 1 = No smoothing of the EMA line. Smoothing of the EMA line increases as the value for smoothing increases, resulting in a less volatile, more smooth EMA line. However, the more smooth the line, the less sensitive the EMA will be to immediate changes in volume pace. The less smoothing factor is applied, the more volatile data will be, resulting in quicker observation of shorter term trends. Again the same rules apply as the EMA length as these are similar in function: If you are interested to know short term changes in volume (e.g. over the past few candles at a major level) you can adjust this setting lower (~2-6). Conversely, if you are interested in volume trends over a greater number of candles you can increase this to your liking.
Personal preference : Because I am a short term daytrader/ scalper, I keep this setting at 2-4 smoothing factor to see immediate changes in the acceleration or deceleration of buyers/ sellers.
You should, of course, play with these settings to your exact preferences based on your trading style.
Tips for using this indicator:
General Use:
When the buy volume EMA is moving up, buyers are increasing the pace of buying and when the buy volume EMA is moving down, buyers are decreasing the pace of buying. Conversely, when the sell volume EMA is moving up, sellers are increasing the pace of selling and when the sell volume EMA is moving down, sellers are decreasing the pace of selling. The overall movement of the stock is relative to the combination of these rates. e.g. If both buyers and sellers are increasing at the same rate (EMAs slopes are roughly equal) there will be not a large change in price. If the slope of the buy volume EMA is greater than the slope of sell volume EMA, the price should move up. Conversely, if the slope of the sell volume EMA is greater than the slope of buy volume EMA, the price should move down.
Predicting pullbacks, reversals, and continuations:
This indicator allows you to see if buyers or sellers are increasing their pace, even if the stock price is in consolidation. This allows you to predict if out of the consolidation buyers or sellers are likely to win based on the momentum of the volume in consolidation. e.g. If price is in consolidation after an uptrend and the buy volume EMA starts to decrease, this could be a sign that buyers are running out of steam at this price level. Another example, If at a major support the buy volume EMA begins to trend up then buyers are accelerating the pace of buying at this level.
EMA crosses: There is something to be said about the point at which the buy volume EMA and sell volume EMA cross. This signifies that at this moment there is a shift in which the acceleration of one party outpaces that of the other and can result in increased speed of the movement of the stock price.
Considerations
Because volume changes constantly, this indicator is best to identify short term changes in volume that could impact price movements. It is not guaranteed to continue just because buyers or sellers have had a change in pace. Therefore it is advised to use this indicator in combination with significant price levels such as pivot points, or price levels from volume profile tools to identify the price zones where significant volume changes are likely to impact price movements. It is also advised to continue to monitor the changes in pace in buyers and sellers using this volume EMA indicator to determine if a change in pace is short lived or if it will continue for a longer duration.
Examples of use:
Bullish Reversal:
Bearish Continuation:
Bearish EMA Crossover: (Settings: Length 6, Smoothing factor 3)
Bullish EMA Crossover: (Settings: Length 6, Smoothing factor 4)
Volume BubblesVolume Bubbles Indicator
Introduction
The Volume Bubbles indicator is a powerful tool designed to visually highlight significant volume spikes on your TradingView charts. It helps traders identify potential areas of whale accumulation (large buying activity) or dumping (large selling activity) by displaying colored bubbles on candles where volume exceeds a customizable threshold. Green bubbles indicate bullish (buy) volume on up candles, suggesting possible accumulation, while red bubbles signal bearish (sell) volume on down candles, indicating potential dumping. The bubble size scales with the volume magnitude, making it easy to spot major market moves at a glance.
This indicator is particularly useful for crypto, forex, and stock traders looking to gauge market sentiment and large player involvement without cluttering the chart. It's built in Pine Script v5 and overlays directly on your price action.
How It Works
The indicator calculates a moving average of volume (default: 20-period SMA) and detects spikes when current volume exceeds this average by a multiplier (default: 2x).
Buy Bubbles (Green): Appear on bullish candles (close >= open) at the low wick, representing potential whale buying or accumulation zones.
Sell Bubbles (Red): Appear on bearish candles (close < open) at the high wick, indicating potential whale selling or dumping zones.
Bubble Size: Dynamically sized based on volume thresholds – huge for >1M, large for 500K-1M, normal for <500K.
Transparency: Increases with volume ratio for better visibility on extreme spikes.
Tooltip:
Hover over a bubble to see detailed info like total volume, average volume, and ratio.
By focusing on these high-volume events, traders can spot key support/resistance levels where whales might be active.
How to Use for Whale Accumulation and Dumping
Whales (large holders) often move markets with high-volume trades. This indicator helps spot them:
Accumulation (Buying): Look for clusters of large green bubbles at price lows or during consolidations. This suggests whales are buying dips, potentially signaling a reversal or uptrend start. Combine with support levels for confirmation.
Dumping (Selling): Watch for big red bubbles at price highs or after rallies. This indicates whales unloading positions, which could lead to downtrends or corrections. Pair with resistance levels.
Tips:
Use on higher timeframes (e.g., 1H+) for reliable signals.
Confirm with other indicators like RSI or MACD to avoid false positives.
In trending markets, buy bubbles in uptrends confirm strength; sell bubbles in downtrends signal continuation.

Volume PivotOVERVIEW
Volume Pivot is a technical analysis tool for TradingView designed to identify key turning points in the market by focusing on volume rather than price. It detects peaks and troughs (pivots) in trading volume to pinpoint moments of maximum market interest or exhaustion.
This indicator performs its analysis on both the Current Timeframe (CTF) and a user-defined Higher Timeframe (HTF). This dual-perspective approach allows traders to simultaneously grasp short-term market reactions and long-term structural shifts, leading to more informed and high-conviction trading decisions.
FEATURES
Automatic Pivot Detection
Automatically identifies and plots Volume Pivot Highs (peaks) and Pivot Lows (troughs) based on a user-defined Lookback Length.
Dual Timeframe Display
- CTF Signals : Plotted as tiny circles directly above the corresponding volume bars for immediate, short-term context.
- HTF Signals : Plotted as slightly larger circles at the bottom of the indicator pane, making them easy to distinguish as signals of higher significance.
Flexible HTF Configuration
Customize which higher timeframe to use for analysis based on your current chart timeframe. For example, you can set the indicator to reference the 1-hour chart as the HTF when you are on the 5-minute chart, and the Daily chart as the HTF when you are on the 1-hour chart.
Intuitive Volume Bars
The volume bars are color-coded to show whether volume is increasing (bullish color) or decreasing (bearish color) compared to the previous bar, offering a quick visual gauge of market momentum.
Full Customization
Easily toggle the visibility of CTF and HTF signals and customize the colors for bullish and bearish pivots to match your charting preferences.
