[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.

➽Conclusion:
Cumulative Volume Delta Bars is one of the leading indicators you can include as an order flow trader in your arsenal. It gives you an inside look at buying and selling pressure and how the market reacts.
But Keep in mind, in trading & technical analysis, nothing is 100% certain. No indicator can give you a 100% success rate. There is no holy grail in the financial market. As a trader, with the help of technical & fundamental indicators, our goal is to find an edge over the market. A simple definition of an edge is: Anything that adds a few points to the winning side of an equation builds an edge that lasts a lifetime. A trading edge defines your technical or strategic advantage in the highly competitive market environment. Traders can establish multiple edges by starting with popular strategies and customizing rules to lower the risk of getting trapped with the emotional crowd.

V.C Cumulative Delta Volume Bars It is purely Volume, Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis based tool. Before applying this Indicator to your study, you should know 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.
Volumespreadanalysis
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.
Conclusion:
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.

[VC] Box Chart Index V1.0The ''V.C Box Chart Index'' shows the shortest possible wave. It graphically shows the continuous up movement or continuous down movement in the form of a box. As soon as the direction changes, the box changes as well.
It is an effortless way to show the price change that occurred in the box visually. It also correlates to what Wyckoff said about as the buying waves increase in volume, time, and length & the selling waves shorten, lookout for a change in the prevailing trend.
The example below shows more big green boxes than red, and the price change caused by the green box has made the uptrend.
Important Note:
V.C Box Chart Index also correlates to another indicator named V.C Box Chart Histogram
V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta based on each box as a histogram. Combining these two indicators empowers you to see the cumulative demand & supply and buying & selling quantity of each box.
See the Example Blow:
The above example shows that supply is decreasing on down boxes, indicating that fewer sellers are left to pull the market down.
On the other hand, demand increases on the up boxes, indicating that more buyers are coming into the market. As a result, every green box is breaking the previous high & price is moving upside.
For a more comprehensive understanding of the co-relation of these two indicators, read the description from the link below.

[VC] Box Chart Histogram V1.0V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta that correlates to another indicator named ''V.C Box Chart Index'' .
(In other words, ''V.C Box Chart Histogram'' & ''V.C Box Chart Index'' are correlated.)
V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta as histogram based on ''V.C Box Chart Index''. Combining these two indicators empowers you to see the cumulative demand & supply / cumulative buying & selling quantity of each box.
You can also switch from cumulative delta mode to cumulative delta % from input settings. See the difference between simple delta & delta % mode from these examples.
Simple Delta Mode (Cumulative Demand & Supply)
In the above example, green & red boxes on the histogram show the cumulative delta of each box from the main chart. In simple words, these boxes show the cumulative net demand & supply of the corresponding box from the main chart. In this example, Big green boxes indicate demand is increasing, whereas small red boxes indicate that supply is decreasing.
Delta % Mode (Cumulative Volume-Weighted Demand & Supply)
Similar to the simple delta mode, in the above example, blue & red boxes on the histogram show the cumulative delta % of each box from the main chart. In simple words, these boxes show the cumulative & volume-weighted demand & supply of the corresponding box from the main chart.
In this example, Big blue boxes indicate that demand is increasing, whereas small red boxes indicate that supply is decreasing.

[VC] Wave Chart Index V1.0V.C Wave Chart Index
Richard D. Wyckoff created the first wave chart, and he instructed students to think in waves. He was an early 20th-century pioneer in the technical approach to studying the stock market and is considered one of the five "titans" of technical analysis, along with Dow, Gann, Elliott and Merrill.
V.C Wave Chart Index is the most comprehensive version of Wyckoff's theory. It is used to measure the strength & weakness of each market move by comparative data analysis. It draws waves on the chart based on Gann Swing theory. At the end of each wave, a label shows all the cumulative data & information of the wave.
With the help of this indicator, You can measure each swing or high/low movement of the market by comparing it with previous high/low price movements. The comparison can be made by using the following data of each wave.
Price Change
Volume Change
Delta Change
Delta % Change
Buy Volume
Sell Volume
Time Spent (Bar Counter)
V.C Wave Chart Index is not only an indicator but itself a unique & comprehensive tool kit to measure & compare each move of the market. This tool enables you to see deep inside each movement of the market. It allows you to observe the nitty-gritty data of each wave at the micro-level with your nacked eyes. With the help of Delta & (C.C) Close to Close Price Change, it is now easy to apply effort & result and cause & effect theory to your analysis. (total volume, buy volume, sell volume & delta % can also be used for comparative analysis)

Comparative Data Analysis Example in the light of Effort & Result Theory
A short explanation of the above analysis
On Wave A , the close to close price change (C.C) is $354 . (its the distance of price that price travelled from the low of the previous wave)
and price travelled this distance with 632 Delta (Delta is an effort which is used to travel the price)
On Wave B , close to close price change (C.C) is -$359 , almost the same distance as the previous wave. But for this distance price used 47% more Delta than the last wave. ( previous Delta is 632 , but current Delta is 931 that is 47% extra)
It indicates that sellers have put more effort in Wave B than Wave A . However, they got similar results as the previous wave. In other words
More Effort & Less Result = Reversal Sign
(that's why in the above example price reversed from a support level)
* Notice that Wave B is also on a key support area/level. And on key support or resistance area, this kind of comparative analysis can give an extra edge in your analysis.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Wave Chart Index is not a BUY/SELL signal based indicator or a holy grail trading system.
It is purely Volume, Delta and comparative analysis based indicator. Before applying this indicator to your analysis, you should know about V.S.A, Volume, Delta & Spread.

Bogdan Ciocoiu - MakaveliDescription
This indicator integrates the functionality of multiple volume price analysis algorithms whilst aligning their scales to fit in a single chart.
Having such indicators loaded enables traders to take advantage of potential divergences between the price action and volume related volatility.
Users will have to enable or disable alternative algorithms depending on their choice.
Uniqueness
This indicator is unique because it combines multiple algorithm-specific two-volume analyses with price volatility.
This indicator is also unique because it amends different algorithms to show output on a similar scale enabling traders to observe various volume-analysis tools simultaneously whilst allocating different colour codes.
Open source re-use
This indicator utilises the following open-source scripts:
Bogdan Ciocoiu - GreuceanuDescription
This indicator is an entry-level script that simplifies volume interpretation for beginning traders.
It is a handy tool that removes all the noise and focuses traders on identifying potential smart money injections.
Uniqueness
This indicator is unique because it introduces the principle of a moving average in the context of volume and then compares it with tick-based volume.
Its uniqueness is reflected in the ability to colour code each volume bar based on the intensity of each relevant (volume) unit whilst comparing it with the volume moving average.
Another benefit of this indicator is the colour coding scheme that removes volume below a particular threshold (default set to 1) under the volume moving average.
In addition to the above features, the indicator differentiates the colour of each bar by price direction.
Open source re-use
To achieve this functionality several open source indicators have been used an integrated within the current one.
Volume Strength FinderGenerally, Volume indicator shows total Volume of a candle. In this Volume Strength Finder Indicator, I tried to separate Strength of buyers and sellers based on the candle stick pattern. Calculating Buyer and Seller Strength each and every candle of the day based on the pattern formation.
High - close => Buyers
Close - low => Sellers
in this way, cumulative volume separates for buyer and sellers and comparing with total volume of the day and showing results.
if buyer strength more than seller, candle bar color remains green even a candle is negative candle(Open>close) and wise versa.
Note: This is for Education Purpose only.
Correlation of Price Spread and VolumeCorrelation between candle's price spread (length of candle of each bar) and volume.
Generally, increases in volume precede significant price movements. However, If the price is rising in an uptrend but the volume is reducing, it may show that there’s little interest in the instrument, and the price may reverse.
The closer the correlation is to 1.0, indicates the instruments will move up and down together as it is expected with volume and price spread. So the correlation Indicator aims to display when the price spread and volume is in correlation and not. Blue color represent positive correlation while orange negative correlation. The strength of the correlation is determined by the width of the bands.
Candle Color by VolumeA simple but effective indicator that paints candles with different shades of colors based on the volume transacted.
-> Supports 6 levels of sensitivity at present. Might enhance the granularity later.
-> Darkest indicates the most volume transacted. Lightest, the least. Change it around however you see fit and based on your theme.
-> Use it for your Volume Spread Analysis and/or in conjunction with any other strategies that you employ.
-> Note that the volume ratio is calculated relative to the average volume of the last n candles ( EMA 20 by default).
Volume Zones Multi-Timeframe OverlayAt its core, this indicator is a variation of my other indicator, Welkin Advanced Volume Overlay (for VSA )
This version is based on the power of multi-timeframe analysis. The basic functionality is simple: Plot lines from the high and low of candles formed during periods of high volume and fill the space between them. The volume levels for deciding what counts as "high volume" are based on standard deviations of the volume's SMA , and the higher the volume , the brighter the zone. i.e., a volume zone set by a volume level that is 4 standard deviations higher than average will be more "filled in" and less transparent than a volume zone from a 2 standard deviation candle.
These zones tend to act as areas of congestion, and the "ceilings" and "floors" of the zones as support and resistance . Overlapping zones tend to indicate strength and are likely to require more effort to get through. The more timeframes that agree with each other, the stronger the zone, ceiling, or floor.
By default, these zones are drawn based on the chart's timeframe and 1 timeframe higher, automatically set based on some "standard" values:
1m -> 5m
5m -> 15m
10m -> 30m
15m -> 60m
30m -> 60m
60m -> 1d
1d -> 1w
Finally, both the base timeframe and the higher timeframe are customizable; this is intended to make it easy to "double" up copies of the indicator to fit even more timeframes on the chart, creating a sort of heatmap for volume price analysis.
An example of three copies of the indicator, showing volume zones from 6 different timeframes.
TradeGuider VSA Relative VolumeThe TradeGuider VSA Lite package is designed for those traders who want to trade in harmony with the professionals (‘smart money’) and is based on Tom Williams’ Volume Spread Analysis methodology ( VSA ). It works in any market and any time frame. The trader can use it as a standalone toolkit to support their trading decisions, or in conjunction with other trading tools to obtain additional confirmations.
The package consists of two parts:
TradeGuider VSA Lite indicator
TradeGuider Relative Volume indicator
Together with the TradeGuider VSA Lite indicator, the TradeGuider VSA Relative Volume indicator helps to determine the interaction between supply and demand as well as assisting traders in their trading decisions. In the VSA methodology all analysis is based on Relative Volume . This means that the exact values of the volume on the price bars are not nearly as important as their volume in relation to the previous volume bars. The following classifications of Relative Volume are used in VSA:
Ultra High Volume
Very High Volume
High Volume
Average Volume
Low Volume
Very Low Volume
Users can easily see how any volume bar is classified by observing which color band in the volume indicator is reached by the top of any given volume bar.
Price bars where the volume is Ultra High very often begin the VSA Setup, while price bars on Low or Very Low Volume can be the confirmation and end the VSA Setup.
Using this indicator, users may also observe bullish (when price falls and volume decreases) and bearish (when price rises and volume decreases) behavior.
See the Author's instructions below to get access to this package and the accompanying documentation.

The package consists of two parts:
TradeGuider VSA Lite indicator
TradeGuider Relative Volume indicator
The TradeGuider VSA Lite indicator provides information about the imbalance between supply and demand on the price charts via VSA principles. The VSA principles introduced in this indicator can be divided into two groups: Signs of Strength (SOS) and Signs of Weakness (SOW). The following six VSA principles are implemented:
SOSs: Potential Professional Buying (PB), Shakeout (SO), Test (TE)
SOWs: Potential Professional Selling (PS), Upthrust (UT), No Demand (ND)
VSA principles ARE NOT BUY and SELL SIGNALS on their own, but in combination may create VSA Setups to the long and short sides which are used in the VSA methodology to identify low-risk entries into, and optimal exits from, a trade.
A potential VSA Setup to the long side means that strength is presented on that particular chart at the current moment and the following conditions are present:
Potential Professional Buying (PB) is found in the background.
The price has risen above the high of the Potential Professional Buying (PB).
The price behavior has changed to the upside (the Short Term Trending Tool is changing color from red to gray or green).
The confirmation (a Test) is identified.
With a VSA Setup to the long side and strength on higher time frames, the price very often moves higher and the user may trade it.
A potential VSA Setup to the short side means that weakness is presented on that particular chart at the current moment and the following conditions are present:
Potential Professional Selling (PS) is found in the background.
The price has moved below the low of the Potential Professional Selling (PS).
The price behavior has changed to the downside (the Short Term Trending Tool is changing color from green to gray or red).
The confirmation (a No Demand) is identified.
With a VSA Setup to the short side and weakness on higher time frames, the price very often moves lower and the user may trade it.
The TradeGuider VSA Lite indicator is equipped with alerts which, when set, inform users of VSA Setups as they appear.

VPA - 5.0 This is a upgraded version of the vpa analysis script which basically implements Volume Spread Analysis (aka Volume Price analysis). It has been rechristened as VPA 5.0 to be inline with version released for Amiboker package so that all future upgrades will go hand in hand. All most all featured of the Amibroker version has been incorporated in this version. Some important additions are as follows
1. A status window for the bar and Trend Description added. No need to plot the trend bands or additional trend Indicator any more.
2. The most important upgrade would be the addition of a Alert window which provides description of the VSA signals. It is also a log window which provides up to 10 last signals
(Credits to Quantnomad for this wonderful piece of code. This feature is an adaptation of his public code)
3. Added facility to plot EMAs / PEMAs with changable parameters
4. Added facility to plot VWAP
5. Facility to switch on and Off the VSA signals. Also tool tip provides description of the signals
6. Facility to plot Resistance and Volume Lines (Credits to @margepadu)
Hope this script will be helpful to everyone. Please do provide your feedback and suggestions for improvements
Realtime Volume Stats Panel w Delta, Buy/Sell%, Cumulative DeltaWhat is it?
Displays several realtime volume stats for each bar/candle.
Although it was originally created to be an assist tool for the Market Footprint (available as a separate indicator) to consolidate the numbers into a neat panel below, it can be used independently as an Orderflow Analysis tool as well.
It currently displays the following:
(1) Net Delta Volume for the bar; (2) Total Volume for the bar; (3) Cumulative Delta Volume for bars plotted up till this point (i.e., from the time the tool started collecting realtime data);
(4) Buy Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar; and, (5) Sell Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar.
All labels/colors etc. are configurable to suit your aesthetics.
All data are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REAL-TIME BARS. The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays, and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time (a) any of the options is changed, (b) the market is switched, (c) the browser is refreshed, or (d) the script is reloaded
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded, the previous symbol's data is lost. So if you intend to monitor a symbol closely, you would need to keep it loaded all the time (and without tinkering with any of the Settings).
Who is it for?
For ultra short term traders who are used to looking at short term auction orderflow (and price action) to catch buy/sell anomalies and accurate trade entries
For traders who are already using Market Footprint but want the volume stats to be displayed on the bottom pane making for a cleaner interface.
For traders (, irrespective of their method of trading,) who wish to understand what is happening under the hood when a certain price action unfolds. (Who is in control, who got trapped, what does liquidity or the lack thereof look like, etc.)
Realtime Volume Bars w Market Buy/Sell/Neutral split & Mkt Delta
What is it?
A tool that shows Real-time Volume bars split into 3 components: (1) Market Buy Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted on upticks; (2) Market Sell Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted on downticks;
and, (3) Neutral Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted without a change in price. (This feature can be turned off if you want normal volume bars).
Market delta (i.e., Market Buy Volume - Market Sell Volume) is also displayed above each volume bar. (On by default; can be switched off from Settings)
The split and Market Delta data are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REAL-TIME BARS. Historical bars are shown just like regular ones. The dotted line marks the start of real-time data (i.e., the bar from which the indicator started collecting and displaying data). You will see accurate data for bars to the right of this line. The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays, and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time any of the options is changed, the market is switched, the browser is refreshed, or the script is reloaded
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded, the previous symbol's data is lost. So if you intend to monitor a symbol, you would need to keep it loaded all the time.
Who is it for?
For traders who are used to analyzing buy/sell activity using market buy/sell volume and market delta information
Although you can use this independently as well, use it in conjunction with "Market Delta Volume for Realtime Bars" indicator to get a better visual representation of the numbers.
Market Delta Volume for Realtime BarsWhat is it?
Market Delta Volume Tool for real-time bars
A market delta tool that shows, (1) the volume that got transacted on upticks - or the market buy volume; (2) the volume that got transacted on downticks - or the market sell volume (3) the market delta volume (i.e., market buy volume - market sell volume); (4) the total volume (market buy volume + market sell volume + neutral volume); and (4) the volume that got transacted without a change in price - or the neutral volume (total volume = market buy volume + market sell volume + neutral volume)
NOTE: THIS WORKS ONLY ON REAL-TIME BARS, NOT ON HISTORICAL BARS! The dotted line marks the start of real-time data (i.e., the bar from which the indicator started collecting and displaying data). You will see accurate data only for bars to the right of this line.
The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time any of the options is changed, the market is switched, the browser is refreshed, or the script is reloaded.
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded/or the same symbol is reloaded, data gets refreshed.
Who is it for?
For traders who are used to analyzing buy/sell activity using market delta information. Especially, short-term trader/scalpers who are used to keeping the same chart open through the trading session.
Also for traders to see and study how anomalies in volume can give clues to buyer/seller absorption, initiative buying/selling etc.
Can be used to better understand VSA as well, although not necessary.
Essentially, this gives real-time delta volume information; use it however you see fit.
Volume Profile Array's [fikira]Inspired by © IldarAkhmetgaleev (AkhIL) - "Poor man's volume profile" - "PMVolProf"
He did a fantastic job on "Volume Profile"!
My script is about making this with array's
Settings:
- period (last x bars) for calculation
- max width (visible horizontal range)
- amount of sections (vertical sections; to many sections can give an error -> lower the sections in that case)
Setting "high/low", "close":
- "high/low"
-> the volume of every bar (in the period) which low is lower than a particular section and which high is higher than that section is added to that section
- "close"
-> here the volume of every bar (in the period) which close closes in the range of a particular section is added to that section
The orange/blue coloured "Volume lines" are the highest/lowest values above and below present close
(can be used as Support/resistance )
"Only show max/min" shows only the orange/blue Volume lines
The period and highest/lowest is show by 2 thin blue lines
Color, line width is adjustable
Cheers!
Welkin Advanced Volume Study (for VSA)This is a translation of Welkin's Advanced Volume Study Indicator originally written for ThinkOrSwim. This version is simpler than Welkin's and attempts to streamline that basic functionality for beginners to Volume Spread Analysis.
This can be used to replace the built-in volume bar with a more advanced version that is designed to facilitate Volume Spread Analysis. The basic idea is to clearly call out areas of high and low volume that help a trader determine where to "Smart Money" may be attempting to move the market. Volume is an incredible powerful tool for the retail trader; learn how to use it.
Grey bar are Below Average volume .
Blue bars are Average Volume , from a 20sma of volume .
Orange bars are 2-sigma (or 2 standard deviations) above average.
Magenta bars are 3-sigma (3 standard deviations) above average.
The plotted lines represent these levels.
Yellow bars have relatively higher volume compared to the previous bar.
The study can also apply these same colors to the price candles themselves, as well as showing buying and selling pressure of the volume bars.
Welkin Advanced Volume Overlay (for VSA)This is a PineScript translation of Welkin's Advanced Volume Indicator Overlay, originally written for ThinkOrSwim. This tool is designed to facilitate Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) by highlighting areas of above average volume alongside price movement.
This indicator does two things:
1. Plots lines that extend from candles of above average, high, and very high volume.
2. Colors in candles with colors indicating volume levels (when "Paint Candles With Volume Colors" is enabled).
Blue lines mark candles with Average volume, based on a 20 SMA.
Orange lines mark 2-sigma (2 times standard deviations higher) volume.
Magenta lines mark 3-sigma (3 times standard deviations higher) volume.
When enabled, gray colored candles indicate below average volume.
Yellow candles indicate volume that is relatively higher than the previous candle, default is 1.25x.
