Open VsaVsa Trend is a tool that utilizes the principles of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) to identify potential trading opportunities. This tool highlights several principles such as PB, PBNC, PS, PSNC, TE, ND, Short Trend Tool, Trigger Lines, and Multiple Alignment of Trends.
These principles assist in identifying potential buy and sell opportunities based on the relative volume of bullish and bearish bars in different trend scenarios. The Short Trend Tool is used to compare the trend and closing price to determine the color of the trend. Trigger Lines are key support and resistance levels based on PB, PBNC, PS, and PSNC bars.
The Multiple Alignment of Trends feature allows users to select between different modes such as NO, Scalping, Day Trading, and Position Trading to help identify multiple trends across various timeframes.
The Confirmation Beginning Alert feature provides users with confirmation alerts based on various filters such as ND/TE, ND/TE & Short Trend, and ND/TE & Short Trend & Trend Alignment. Using this tool in combination with an AVWAP tool can enhance its effectiveness in identifying potential trading opportunities.

1-PB (Potential buy confirmed. In bearish trend, a bearish bar of high relative volume with the following bullish bar)
2-PBNC (Potential buy not confirmed. In bearish trend, a bearish bar of high relative volume with the following bearish bar)
3-PS (Potential sell confirmed. In an uptrend, a bullish bar of high relative volume with the next bearish bar)
4-PSNC (Potential unconfirmed sell. In an uptrend, a bullish bar of high volume relative to the next bullish bar)
5-TE (Test confirmed. In an uptrend, a bearish bar with lower volume than the previous 2 bars, with the next bullish on average volume)
6-ND (No Confirmed Demand. In a downtrend, a bullish bar with lower volume than the previous 2 bars, with the next bearish on average volume)
7-Short Trend Tool (It is an SMA that compares its trend and the closing price to define its color
8-Trigger Lines (They are the maximum and minimum values of a PB, PBNC, PS, or PSNC bar) The idea is to look for a TEST confirmation on or NO DEMAND under that area. The above areas are also important support and resistance levels, which is why they are charted.
9-The PS/PSNC/PB/PBNC principles are always graphed as it helps us to keep in mind a possible setup in VSA. You can choose if you want to receive alerts when a principle is presented.
10. Multiple Alignment of Trends (Allows you to select between 3 modes. NO/Scalping/Day Trading and Position Trading) According to this, the "Short Trend Tool" is taken in several timeframes and when it has alignment in its trend color, it will change from color the corresponding background.
11. Confirmation Beginning Alert: Allows you to decide if you want to receive TEST or NO DEMAND Confirmation alerts under 3 filters
-ND/TE: Only the beginning is required with no short-term trend
-ND/TE & Short Trend: In addition to the principle, it takes into account the Color of the current short-term trend.
-ND/TE & Short Trend & Trend Alignment: In addition to the above, the color of the multiple alignment is taken into account to trigger an alert.
-It work better if you use in combination with a Daily VWAP tool
Volumespreadanalysis
Volume DockThis oscillator has two different modes:
The first one called RSIs is a comparison between the Relative strength index of the Accumulation/Distribution (and the On Balance Volume) and the normal price, to analyze the differences in momentum between the price with volume and without.
The second one, called Dock, is similar except for the fact that the lines are smoothed using the hull moving average formula, this mode is great to signal entries and for reversal analyzing.
LNL Simple Hedging ToolLNL Simple Hedging Tool
Simple Hedging Tool was created specifically for swing traders who struggle with hedging. This tool helps to spot the ideal moments to put the hedges on (protection of the portfolio during "high risk" times). Simple Hedging Tool will not help you when day trading. It was designed for the daily charts. It is called simple because it is pretty much self-explanatory indicator. The candles are either blue or yellow. Meaning of the colors depend on the version you are using. This tool consist of two versions:
SPX Version:
This version was designed for indexes & overall market benchmarks. In contrast with the VIX version, the SPX version is little more sophisticated since it is based on key market internals. Blue arrows above the candles? More often than not this is signalizing that the key market internals are now approaching bearish signals which means it is the best time to hedge any bullish positions. On the contrary, the yellow arrows are the good reason to lighten up of the shorts & ease off the gas pedal on any bearish outlooks.
VIX Version:
Apart from the black swan events (big market crashes) Vix usually oscillates between the daily extremes. The VIX version is based on a simple bollinger band technique which is visualized with blue & yellow arrows. Whenever the yellow arrows & candles appear, it is good time to put the hedges on & perhaps lighten up on longs.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
The signals from this tool WILL NOT TELL YOU where to buy or sell! But rather when is a good time TO NOT buy or TO NOT sell. Once the signals appear it does not necessarily mean that the move is over & reversion willl happen immidiately. These signals can be flashing for days even weeks. They are not flashing for you to change the bias but rather tighten up your exposure in case your portfolio is mostly one sided.
Hope it helps.
ADX Volume Trend
Thie indicator is a modified and upgraded version of the popular ADX tool.
ADX is used to determine the strength of a trend, and also to determine the direction in which the trend is likely to go.
With this script, I have added in the formula the usage of volume, leading to the following functionality.
The length is used to determine the period to calculate the trend strength and direction, and the average is used to then determine the oscillator and to confront the previous line.
The volume average determines how many volumes bars the indicator should use to determine if a volume bar is above or below average if volume mode is selected.
With the volume mode on, you'll get the DI+ and DI- lines, which are by default displayed as a histogram that calculates the difference between the two lines, called "Directional difference", are calculated using also the volume in the formula, multiplying the normal output by the volume multiplier. I suggest using this mode in high-volume markets.
The trend strength difference is the area calculated using the difference between the ADX line and his moving average and can be used to analyze divergences in the swing points.
It has a lot of improvements and new functionalities, like:
- Histogram to show the output at best
- Averages to compare the data
- The option to include the volume inside of the formula
- Other options and esthetic changes
This indicator is created to improve the usability of the popular ADX indicator, including the very important variable of the volumes, in fact, it's the best to use for the Volume Spread Analysis.
Volume Spread Analysis IchimokuThis version of the popular Ichimoku indicator is modified to let the user choose between his classic mode and the volume-weighted mode.
Every line of the indicator is customizable with this function.
The Kijun and Tenkan lines are choosable from:
1. The normal version, so the average of the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume mode, so the average price of the selected input ponderated to the volume
The Senkau Span A is the average from the Kijun (fast line) and the Tenkan (slow line) lines and it's choosable from:
1. The normal price version
2. The volume mode
3. The average between points 1 and 2
4. The automatic average between the two fast lines that you've chosen
The Senkau Span B is the slowest line of the indicator, used to determine the long-term trend, and can be chosen from:
1. The normal average price between the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume average price, using the Volume Weighted Moving Average
The Trama Backline is the popular "LUX Algo" T.R.A.M.A. indicator, which I'm thankful for, and can be fantastically used to display the current trend strength and condition. This line is readable in the following way:
- If the line is moving sideways, the trend may be in a consolidation phase
- If the line is moving upwards or downwards, the trend may be in a trend phase
Market Interest ZoneGeneral description
The Market Interest Zone (MI Zone) indicator is designed to facilitate market analysis and meet the needs of most traders by building zones that can act as support or resistance.
The logic of each MI Zone is based on the culminating increase in volume (the analysis of such volume is done by comparing the volume of each candle with the SMA plotted for a certain period with the input volume data). This logic is not very useful in the middle of a pulse, so by comparing the OHLC of candles, the indicator builds such zones only on local pulse extremes. The indicator also has a built-in super trend indicator that acts as a trend filter. We have compared many technical indicators that can help filter zones, but in our opinion, super trend shows the best results due to more flexible settings compared to moving average. Each drawn Japanese candlestick is an independent zone from which you can open a position with a limit order and close a position, depending on the trader's usual risk management.
In this version of the indicator, only the D1 timeframe is available, but it is enough for long-term trades
The indicator has two modes:
Trend/Reversal - in which absolutely all zones are displayed;
Trend - which displays only those zones that have passed the filter in the direction of the current trend;
Opening a position with a market order when a zone of interest appears is not part of the strategy's logic, as it increases the commission and limits the trading potential. However, if you understand the market context, then such an entry with a market order can be realized.
In cases when the candle that formed the zone is quite volatile and has a large spread, it is permissible to place a limit order for 50% of this zone.
Examples of using a trading strategy
As we wrote earlier, each Japanese candlestick drawn is an independent zone that can be worked with without additional conditions and understanding of the context. The MI Zone appears under certain conditions, when the second candlestick closes after the zone itself. After that, you can place a limit order at the high/low of this zone (depending on the direction) + a protective stop order on the opposite side of the zone.

Retest Limit Entry in Trend/Reverse Mode:
Mirror Retest Limit Entry in Trend/Reverse Mode:
Risk management strategy
Fixing positions is recommended when the RR reaches 1:3 to 1:5. It is also possible to split a position, the second part of which will be fixed at more global levels.
In the above examples, position fixation is shown exclusively at global levels. In real trading, we recommend closing part of the position when local levels are reached.
Also, when RR 1:1 is reached, it is recommended to move the stop loss to breakeven.
Conclusion
It is important to understand that this logic can have different meanings depending on the financial instrument used. Therefore, we recommend performing a basic backtest of the methods of use and risk management parameters before using the indicator directly.
Volume Price Balance by serkany88This idea has been in my mind for a while. We all know how important volume is to technical analysis but volume and price itself doesn't mean much when volatility and momentum of the current trend is not taken into account. With this oscillator we try to combine all these factors into one indicator and provide a simplified interpretation of this relationship with spread analysis. This indicator can be used in all timeframes but higher timeframes like 1 hour and above will provide most stable results.
How it works?
This oscillator tries to analyze volume spread along with price spread based on wyckoff methods and attains certain "strength value" for each candle and it's relationship with the volume. After this calculation preferably we remove detected rejection candles from overall calculation and draw them as plots. The multipliers of the strengths can be changed from the settings.
Green Line Above Red Line = Bullish momentum stronger
Red Line Above Green Line = Bearish momentum stronger
Top circles mean possible bullish reversal candle detected. Gray is weak, White is normal and Red top circle means strong possible reversal detected.
Bottom circles mean possible bearish reversal candle detected. Gray is weak, White is normal and Green bottom circle means strong possible reversal detected.
Let's check the example below
As you can see we see a green dot appear in a somewhat weakening bullish momentum, this can mean possible reversal can happen soon and it does.
Below is a bearish example
In this example we see a possible strong reversal signal in a increasing bullish momentum and the price reacts immediately after the candle.
We also have a table that shows the current non-smoothed result of trend strength based on calculated price-volume spread at top right of the oscillator.
Volume Spread AnalyzerThis indicator is unseen on Tradingview and wants to be the number 1 indicator for the volume spread analysis. Its formula, as simple as useful, compares the effort (volume) of the candle with the results, or the price movement.
This way it's possible to apply the famous Volume Spread Analysis with a simple and complete indicator that's 100% objective.
This indicator can be used on almost any market, but it gives the best results on markets which has constant and high volume, like forex markets, for example.
There are 4 different modes that you can choose from, and all of the use different approaches and techniques to measure the same concept: the efficiency of the price compared to the effort of buyers and sellers:
1. The first one analyzes the formula for ONLY buy candles and ONLY for sell candles, and then plots the column oscillator to show the difference.
2. The second function shows the same formula but applied to any candle, and then confronts the two lines generated by the effort of the positive candle and the negative one as an area. You also have a single-step line on the chart that shows the real-time single-candle effort to result from efficiency.
3. Comparison between the single candle effort and the average efficiency, useful to filter out bad entry candles that could lead to a stop loss.
4. Absorbion analyzer: with this option, you can choose between the single candle and multi-candle mode.
4.1: Single candle mode display, as a pink circle on the oscillator, the candles that are more likely an absorption.
4.2: Multi-candle mode display the summation of the single candle value, to analyze the entire movement and identify the part of the trend that can be absorbed when compared to the other.
For almost any function o the indicator, the fast line input changes the fast line that you see on the chart (i suggest not increasing it above 3 for optimal results), and the slow line changes the moving average or the area that shows the difference between the other lines, you can set the slow line to 1 to have as a result the simple difference of the other lines, or you can set it to a higher value like 50 to show the middle or long term bias.
E³ Up-Down Volume % (NASDAQ)This lower indicator will show what % a day's total market volume on the NASDAQ COMPOSITE is bullish or bearish. It shows a history of every day's reading on a lower indicator pane.
Strong readings correspond to strong days and the differential in volume can often be ascertained from the market open and in the first 5-30 minutes of the market, to give you a sense of how the market might play out that day.
It is especially good at predicting STRONGEST days as well as DOJI days (indecision days).
EXAMPLES:
A +1% reading would mean that there is 1% more up volume on the day than down volume, meaning it's nearly a DOJI day or indecisive day where up down volume is basically 50/50 and the day is not particularly bullish (or bearish). Same goes for a very low bearish reading such as -1%.
an 80% BULLISH reading would mean that the day's volume differential is hugely favoring the bullside (buying demand). These days are so strong in sentiment that they usually end up being STRONG BULLISH CONTINUATION candles with little to no topside wick by the end of the day.
Conversely an 80% bearish candle would mean an intensely strong sell-side volume day.
TECHNICALLY:
90% bullish = 95% of the volume on the day is UP (very rare, ie: once every 2+ years)
80% bullish = 90% of the volume is UP (rare, ie: once or twice a year)
50% bullish = 75% of volume is UP (significant when it occurs, but not uncommon)
0-1% bullish = 50% of volume is up
-50% bearish = 75% of the volume is DOWN
-80% bearish = 90% of the volume is DOWN
-90% bearish = 95% of the volume is DOWN
OPTIMUM SETTINGS = Threshold Percent to 45-55%
This means that roughly 3/4 of the volume transpiring(ed) on the day is either UP or DOWN and will color the histogram if levels are that strong (either bullish or bearish)

How to use
They can be interpreted in a number of ways. Potential sign of consolidation, reversal, continuation or retest zones. Use on own discretion.
In action
Price Action Signals V2Indicator that shows buy/sell signals based on price action and volume as it relates to a double EMA. If the candle is above the double EMA, we look for candles with long wicks on the top indicating selling pressure. If the candle is below the double EMA , we look for candles with a long bottom wick indicating buying pressure. The user defined parameters are the length of the double EMA and the length of the volume moving average. Lower timeframes such as 5 minutes and lower are better off using lower lengths while higher timeframes should user higher lengths. Your mileage will vary.
Note, while this indicator can signal the beginning of long term trends, it will also signal minor retracements. Do not blindly buy or sell based on a signal appearing, pay attention to where the candle is in the overall trend and wait for confirmation to avoid losses.
3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy [Kintsugi Trading]What is the 3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy?
Incorporating the 3 Line Strike candlestick pattern into our strategy was inspired by Arty at The Moving Average and the amazing traders at TheTrdFloor .
The Three Line Strike is a trend continuation candlestick pattern consisting of four candles. Depending on their heights and collocation, a bullish or a bearish trend continuation can be predicted.
In a symphony of trend analysis, price action, and volume we can find and place high-probability trades with the 3LS Strategy.
How to use it!
----- First, start by choosing a Stop-Loss Strategy, Stop PIP Size, and Risk/Reward Ratio -----
- Stop-Loss Strategy
Fixed PIP Size – This uses the top/bottom of the indicator candle and places a TP based on the chosen Risk:Reward ratio.
ATR Trail (No set Target Profit, only uses ATR Stop)
ATR Trail-Stop (Has set Target Profit, however, stop is based on ATR inputs)
**If you choose an ATR Stop-Loss Strategy - input the desired ATR period and Multiple you would like the stop to be calculated at**
**ATR Stop-Loss Strategies have a unique alert setup for Auto-Trading. See Auto-Trading Section**
- Risk/Reward Ratio = If you have a .5 risk/reward, it means you are risking $100 to make $50.
- Additional Stop PIP Size = Number of PIPs over the default stop location of the top or bottom of the indicator candle.
----- Next, we set the Session Filter -----
Set the Timezone and Trade Session you desire. If no specific session is desired, simply set the Trade Session to 00:00 - 00:00.
----- Next, we set the Moving Average Cloud Fill -----
Enter the Fast and Slow Moving Average Length used to calculate trend direction:
MA Period Fast
MA Period Slow
These inputs will determine whether the strategy looks for Long or Short positions.
----- Next, we set the VSA – Volume Spread Analysis Settings -----
Check the box to show the indicator at the bottom of the chart if desired.
This is just a different visual output of the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis indicator available for free under the community indicators tab. You can add that indicator to your chart and see the same output in candle format.
In combination with the Moving Average Cloud, the Volume Spread Analysis will help us determine when to take a trade and in what direction.
The strategy is essentially looking for small reversals going against the overall trend and placing a trade once that reversal ends and the price moves back in the direction of the overall trend.
The 3LS Strategy utilizes confirmation between trend, volume, and price action to place high probability trades.
The VSA is completely customizable by:
Moving Average Length
MA-1 Multiplier
MA-2 Multiplier
MA-3 Multiplier
Check out the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis indicator in the community scripts section under the indicators tab to use this awesome resource on other strategies.
----- Next, we have the option to view the automated KT Bull/Bear Signals -----
Check the boxes to show the buy-sell signal on the chart if desired.
----- Next, we set the risk we want to use if Auto Trading the strategy -----
I always suggest using no more than 1-3% of your total account balance per trade. Remember, if you have multiple strategies triggering per day with each using 1%, the total percent at risk will be much larger.
For Example – if you have 10 strategies each risking 1% your total risk is 10% of your account, not 1%! Be mindful to only use 1-3% of your total account balance across all strategies, not just each individual one.
----- Finally, we backtest our ideas -----
After using the 'Strategy Tester' tab on TradingView to thoroughly backtest your predictions you are ready to take it to the next level - Automated Trading!
This was my whole reason for creating the script. If you work a full-time job, live in a time zone that is hard to trade, or just don't have the patience, this will be a game-changer for you as it was for me.
Auto-Trading
When it comes to auto-trading this strategy I have included two options in the script that utilize the alert messages generated by TradingView.
*Note: Please trade on a demo account until you feel comfortable enough to use real money, and then please stick to 1%-2% of your total account value in risk per trade.*

VSA | Volume Spread Analysis [Kintsugi Trading]What is the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis Indicator?
I created this premium volume indicator to find and place high probability forex trades as a part of the Kintsugi Trading 3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy .
Originally developed by Tom Williams who is considered the father of Volume Spread Analysis, this tool is an amazing indicator and would make a great addition to any trading strategy.
You are free to customize all the inputs:
• 30 | Moving Average-1 Multiplier (Average Volume)
• 0.5 | Moving Average-1 Multiplier (Below Average Volume)
• 1.5 | Moving Average-2 Multiplier (High Volume)
• 3.0 | Moving Average-3 Multiplier (Ultra High Volume)
**Note The default inputs are based on my research and analysis.
Components of The Volume Spread Analysis:
1. The Volume (i.e. activity)
2. The Spread (i.e. range of the price bar)
3. The Close (the closing price of the current bar)
Volume: Volume is the activity of the frequency of transaction of the price change during a specified period of time.
Spread: Spread is the difference between opening and closing price.
Close: Close price tells us where the balance point is at the end of the period.
At Kintsugi Trading we strongly believe that we cannot beat or outperform institutional traders, instead, we have to trade along with them. With that in mind, we follow the footprints of smart players who leave behind trails.
I have designed this indicator so that it is capable of giving signals for all the phenomena explained in Tom William's book.
This Indicator is successful at visualizing the following phenomenon:
• Trapped Buyers
• Trapped Sellers
• Stopping Volume (long)
• Buying Climax
• Selling Climax
Good luck with your trading!
Volume Trend Meter LTFA new take to an already popular indicator of mine, now with lower time frame support for a volume called Volume Trend Meter LTF (VTML).
The VTM LTF indicator measures the volume pressure at a specific part of the candle (Start, Middle, or the end of the candle) and displays it as a histogram.
This indicator sums up all green candle volumes and red candle volumes over the selected part of the candle (Select in settings - start end or middle) and plots their values by subtracting increasing volume and decreasing volume.
Use this indicator to identify increasing volume with the green candles (close bigger than open) and increasing volume of the red candles (close is smaller than open).
Can also work on daily charts and higher.
======= Calculation ==========
For Green Column: The total Volume of green candles is higher than the total red candle volume.
For Red Column: The total Volume of red candles is higher than the total green candle volume.
======= Volume Trend Meter LTF Colors =======
Green: Increasing buying pressure.
Red: Increasing selling pressure.

Vol (Wyckoff)I like TradingView Built-in Volume indicator, because it is overlay with price chart, and has appropriate scale.
I made similar style volume indicator and added concept of Laws of Wyckoff.
caution : You need {Chart settings} → {Appearance} → {Bottom margin} is set 0 %, to make chart look good.
: You need {Chart settings} → {Symbol} → {body} ,{Borders} and {Wick} are set dark color, to easier to identify the color of candles.
This ３ Laws of Wyckoff are my interpretation, not the original.
///////// The Law of Supply and Demand //////////
I define the Demand as volume that is larger than the previous volume and has close > open bar.
I define the Supply as volume that is larger than the previous volume and has close <= open bar.
Volume Flow is value difference between Demand MA and Supply MA.
I imitate the idea of "Volume Flow v3" by oh92.
///////// The Law of Cause and Effect //////////
Enough volume(Cause) makes reliable price movement(Effect).
If there is not enough volume, its price movement is suspicious.
I define enough volume as volume that is larger than previous volume.
I define large volume as volume that is larger than previous volume and over volume MA(using all volume).
I define "not enough volume" as volume that is smaller than previous volume.
I borrowed the idea from "The Lie Detector" by LucF.
Enough volume(increasing volume) is painted by dark color and Large volume(increasing volume and over volume MA) is painted by light color.
"Not enough volume"(decreasing volume) is painted by empty color(default is black).
This coloring are reflected to price candles.
So, you need {Chart settings} → {Symbol} → {body} ,{Borders} and {Wick} are set dark color, to easier to identify the color of candles.
///////// The Law of Effort and Result //////////
If volume (effort) cannot move price (result), it may be Absorption(potential reversal).
"Factor of Volume Density" determines the threshold of Absorption.
Small Absorption is displayed by gray square at bottom.
Large Absorption is displayed by white square at bottom.
///////// Volume Spike //////////
Volume Spike sometimes precede or confirm trend direction.
"Factor of Volume Spike" determines the threshold of Volume Spike.
Volume Spike is displayed by light bulb.
Volume spread analysis V1 (RT)Volume Spread Analysis is a method used by professional traders to identify the Smart money's activities (Institutional Traders) in the markets based on Price and Volume data. and it is considered to be one of the best technical analysis compared to all forms of trading since it is not prone to smart money manipulation but the method itself is to identify the smart money's activity in any markets.
Volume plays an important role in trading since it is used to identify the Smart trader's activity in the markets and it can play a crucial role when it comes to identifying accurate Chart patterns and levels with entries and exits.
Important Features included in this indicator:-
1. Volume Spread Analysis signals to identify SOS (Signal of strength) and SOW (Signal of weakness).
2. Potential Volume zones to identify important levels of Smart money.
3. Gap up and Gap Down Levels to identify the irregular gaps and corrections in the markets.
4. Added Historic signals and other parameter options in the settings.
5. Effort VS Result Option included.
6. Volume Waves, Also known as Cumulative Volume to identify Effort vs result and Buyers/Seller's Activity in the markets.
7. Multiple Options to change the colors of various indicators included.
8. The indicator also consists VWAP option which can be used as POC on Day Trading.
Please note that this indicator will be developed with time as we will constantly be adding more VSA signals in the upcoming days and we are constantly working on the quality of the indicator.

[VC] Cumulative Delta PLUS It is a Merged Version of our following two indicators.
V.C Box Chart Histogram
&
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram.
We merged them at the user's request & convenience. This merged version also helps to save space for other indicators.
Description & Usage
Description & Usage will remain the same as described in individual descriptions of the above-mentioned parent indicators. Only one additional input is added to adjust the scale, named "Scale_Setting''.
Because now it's a merged version of 2 different indicators & both indicators have their different scale levels. To bring both indicators on an equal scale so that they can be visualised better, we have added scale adjustment settings that are easy to understand. Let's elaborate it.
Scale adjustment settings belong to the Cumulative length of the ' 'Cumulative Delta Indicator'' . Keep in mind that the best scale setting is keeping the scale setting values near or equal to cumulative length.
For example:
If you set cumulative length 20, the scale setting value should also be 20 or near 20 (like 17, 18, 19 etc.). (It depends on you, how large cumulative columns you want to see relative to Box chart Histogram)
Note: Any scale setting value can be used, it only affects visuals, not the actual calculations.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram It is purely Volume, Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis-based tool. Before applying this Indicator to your study, you should clear your concepts about Volume, Delta & Spread, Demand & Supply, and Aggressive & Passive behaviour of buyers/sellers.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
[VC] Cumulative Delta Histogram V1.0The V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram shows the market's ongoing Buying/Selling pressure. It helps to determine whether Supply or Demand is dominating and in control.
➤If the Cumulative Delta Increases, the buyers are in control.➚
➤If the Cumulative Delta Decreases, the sellers are in control.➘
The use cases for this Indicator are vast and correlated with our other Delta Indicators. The following examples will explain how to use this Indicator.
Example 1 EUR / USD
In the above example, Negative Cumulative Delta Decreased & Turned into Positive Cumulative Delta. That indicates that sellers are losing control & buyers are getting power.
As a confirmation on the ' 'Box Chart Histogram'' it is evident that Demand is also increasing.
And on ''Wave Chart Index'' as a 3rd confirmation, you can see that the Delta has also increased compared to previous waves.
Example 2
Positive Delta on Cumulative Delta Histogram is decreasing & Negative Delta started increasing.
On the Box Chart Histogram , Demand is decreasing & Supply is increasing.
Additionally, on the Wave Chart Index , the Delta of the wave is also decreasing.
(in short, besides ''Cumulative Delta Histogram," Box chart Histogram & Wave Chart Index is also adding additional confirmation)
Note: Two types of Delta sources are included in this Cumulative Delta Indicator.
Type A: Simple Delta
Type B: Delta %
Simple Delta is the difference between Net Buying - Selling pressure.
Delta % also works in the same calculation, but a Volume weighted algorithm is applied on it.
You may use any of them that suits your analysis.

[VC] Cumulative Delta Volume BarsLet's first learn what is Delta & How to Use Cumulative Delta Volume Bars?
Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is one of the leading indicators that you can use when trading order flow. It gives you an instant snapshot of the buying and selling pressure in a market.
After reading the detailed description of "Cumulative Delta Volume Bars," you will understand how volume delta provides a critical edge by allowing you to spot significant potential reversals in the market. You will also learn to use this Cumulative Delta indicator in depth. (including rest session usability features)
What is Delta Volume?
Delta Volume is the difference between Buying and Selling Power. Delta Volume is calculated by taking the difference between the volume traded at the offer price and the volume traded at the bid price. (in simple words, the difference between buying pressure & selling pressure)
If delta volume is more than zero, you have more buying pressure than selling & vice versa, and if delta volume is less than zero, you have more selling pressure than buying.
In Order-Flow Analysis , traders used Cumulative Delta to measure the relationship between the Buying & Selling pressure Vs Price.
Cumulative delta volume takes the delta values for every bar and successively adds them together to provide a graph, as seen below visually.
Let me demonstrate by giving examples of how cumulative Delta can help measure the buying or selling pressure relative to the price move.
★ Trading Absorption & Exhaustion concepts with Delta
See the chart below & try to analyze the next possible move on the basses on the analysis mentioned on the chart.
➽➽ If you said Short, you were correct. ✅
Till Point A , both price & cumulative were aligned. (means there were no imbalances between Delta & Price).
But on Point B , the Cumulative Delta broke the previous resistance clearly and moved even further away from the resistance level, but the Price couldn't break the last resistance. It interprets that buyers applied a lot of buying pressure but no result. (Aggressive buying pressure absorbed by Passive sellers)
Due to this vast effort or failed attempt, buyers were exhausted and had no more strength to pull the Price up. That's why the Price reversed from Point B . See below image
★ Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is helpful when determining buying or selling pressure at different key price levels, such as swing highs or lows.
Let's recap on swing highs and swing lows.
➽ A swing high (S.H) is formed when the high reaches higher than the price action around it. Once the Price moves above a prior swing high and begins to retrace, a new swing high is formed.
➽ A swing low (S.L) is formed when the low reaches lower than price action around it. Once the Price moves below a prior swing low and begins to retrace, a new swing low is formed.
➽ When the Price makes higher highs and higher lows, a market is considered an uptrend.
➽ When the Price is making lower lows followed by lower highs, a market is considered a downtrend.
When evaluating Delta, it's beneficial to compare delta values at swing lows or swing highs to determine the amount of selling or buying pressure and how the market reacts.
The actual Power of Delta is revealed when we use it to determine the market's reaction to powerful buying or selling. We want to see if the market has reacted as we would expect or not.
In the above Example, you will notice that every time price breaks a swing, Delta does as well.
It makes sense as it takes selling pressure to break a swing low or buying pressure to break a swing high. In simple words, we can say that there is no anomaly between delta direction & price direction.
In simple words (No Absorption or Exhaustion)
But what's occurring when this isn't the case, and we have divergence between Price and Delta? Let's analyze it with real examples.
★ Understanding Delta Divergence.
(Lack of Harmony in Buying/Selling Pressure & Price Move)
Notice how the Price breaks out of the previous resistance level on the above chart, but the Delta didn't yet reach even close to its last resistance level. It's a clear divergence between Price and Delta. Buyers may be slightly exhausted at the previous resistance level, and Price & Delta may retrace slightly. But in a broader view, it reflects a strong bullish signal.
See the above chart & see when and why the Price moved. I hope it will help you understand the underlying relation & story between Price & Delta.
Cumulative Delta & Trade Management
Delta will help you spot significant reversals, but it can also be used to help manage your open trade. You want to see a high correlation between Delta and Price when in a long or short position.
Suppose you're short while the Price is breaking a new low. You want to see Delta breaking low if sellers aren't interested in selling at the recent lows, represented by Delta not breaking lows. The probability of a short term reversal or a significant retrace increases.
When in a position, always be on the lookout for exhaustion and absorption, signalling a reversal potential.

Delta Volume by SiddWolfDelta Volume is Difference between Buying Volume and Selling Volume. This indicator gives the Delta Volume based on Lower TimeFrame Candles. It utilizes security_lower_tf() function, a function that provides Lower TF candle data in Higher TF Chart.
security_lower_tf() is a new function provided by TradingView yesterday. If you are a PineScript Programmer, I suggest you to read about it, as it is a very powerful function that can extremely improve your trading strategy.
How this indicator works:
This indicator checks volume data on lower TimeFrame Candles and Shows it's delta in the current Chart Timeframe. For example: If you open 4 hours chart, this indicator checks volume of 1 minute chart and separates Buying-Selling volume. Then it subtracts Candle's Selling volume from Candle's Buying volume, finally calculating the Delta Volume.
This indicator also provides a Smooth Delta Volume, which is moving average of Delta Volume. As Delta Volume changes a lot, Smooth Delta Volume can be very helpful for identifying Trends . Goto settings and in "Show" section select "Smooth Delta Volume" to lay it on the chart.
Settings is the Key:
Settings are key to all of my indicators. Play around with it a bit. You can change what to show on the chart from settings. Smooth Delta Volume moving average length can be changed from the settings. You can also select "Show as Percentage", which shows Delta Volume as Percentage of Overall Candle's Volume. If you use Weekly or Monthly Timeframe, change increase lower timeframe from settings. Read the tooltips to understand what each settings mean. Tooltips are the (i) button in-front of each settings.
FAQs:
Q. Does the indicator Repaint ?
--- No. None of my indicators repaints. What you see now is what's drawn in real time.
Q. What TimeFrame is Best for this Indicator ?
--- It can be used on timeframes from 5 minutes to higher. But I would prefer to use it from timeframes higher than 30 minutes, as it gathers data from 1 minute TF.
Q. Indicator doesn't show anything ?
--- This indicator only works on security with Volume data. Also use it from higher timeframe than specified in Settings, because Volume Delta is calculated using Data from Lower TimeFrame.
Q. Delta volume is not provided by TradingView, So how exactly does this indicator work?
--- This indicator takes advantage of new pinescript function security_lower_tf(), and calculates volume for smaller timeframe data and calculates delta on higher timeframe.
Q. Does this indicator give financial advice?
--- No. Nope. Nein. Não. नहीं.

This indicator is very basic but if used correctly it can be very powerful. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to comment below. I'd love to connect with you. Thank you.

[VC] Effort & Result Index V1.0V.C. Effort & Result Index draws the Price change, Volume, Delta & Delta % as a histogram. On the positive side of the histogram, it marks the price change & on the negative side of the histogram, it marks volume, delta & delta %. And the best part of the indicator is that it allows you to see all the mentioned data types simultaneously.
See the below chart for a comprehensive understanding.
Before moving further, understand the below analogy first.
Volume & Delta = Fule or Effort
Price Movement = Result
Think of Volume & Delta as FULE or EFFORT and Price Movement as Result.
If the price travels a significant distance with less fule & effort, it indicates that no barriers or inverse forces are stopping the price movement.
On the other hand, if the price is travelling a less distance & consuming comparatively more fule & effort, it indicates some barriers or inverse forces stopping the price movement.
V.C. Effort & Result Index empowers you to read, compare & analyse Volume, Delta & Price effortlessly. It helps to measure the relative price change in different combinations. Such as, you can compare the price change with total volume, delta volume & delta percentage.
See the below relative comparison analysis by using Price Change, Volume Change & Delta Change.
In the above example, you can see that on candle A, there is a very significant price move with a small volume & delta. But on the next candle B, there is a minor price move compared to the previous candle A, but the volume is relatively high & delta is almost the same. In simple words, the same effort was applied to candle B but got fewer results than candle A. It indicates that buyers applied the same effort but failed to get the same results. It reveals that sellers are taking control, leading to a trend reversal.
This comparative analysis method & approach can add an extra edge to your analysis spacially on key levels & breakouts.
V.C Effort & Result Index Settings & Inputs
Price Change:
Allow you to show/hide the price change bars on the positive side of the histogram.
Volume:
Allow you to show/hide the total volume on the negative side of the histogram.

Style Settings
The Style section allows you to change the colors & the view format of all data types.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Effort & Result Index is not a BUY/SELL signal based indicator or a holy grail trading system.
It is purely Volume, Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis based tool kit. Before applying this indicator to your analysis, you should know about Volume, Delta & Spread, and Demand & Supply.
