PVSRA High Volume Lines MTF - DailyThis indicator identifies Daily candles with significant volume activity based on the traditional PVSRA calculation.
When a high-volume Daily candle is detected, the indicator plots support and resistance levels at the high and low of that specific candle.
These Daily-based levels are then projected onto lower timeframes, allowing traders to visualize higher-timeframe support and resistance zones directly on intraday charts.
The indicator focuses only on days with elevated volume, rather than plotting levels for every Daily candle.

Stop Loss Hunting Zones This Pine Script indicator identifies and visualizes potential "stop loss hunting zones" on charts. It marks price levels where institutional traders or market makers might trigger retail stop losses before reversing direction, helping traders avoid false breakouts and better time their entries.
Key Features:
Four Types of Detection Zones-
1.Swing Zones (Red/Green): Identifies swing highs and lows using pivot point analysis where stop losses typically cluster above resistance and below support levels.
2.Breakout Zones (Orange): Detects consolidation periods and marks levels where false breakouts might occur, trapping traders who enter too early.
3.Wick Trap Zones (Purple): Highlights candles with disproportionately large wicks relative to body size, indicating potential stop loss raids with quick reversals.
4.Volume Reversal Zones (Blue): Identifies high-volume reversal patterns where price briefly touches a level before sharply reversing, suggesting stop loss absorption.
Customizable Parameters:
Swing Lookback: Period for pivot point detection (5-100 bars)
Swing Threshold: Minimum percentage move to qualify as a swing (0.5-10%)
Volume Threshold: Multiplier for detecting unusual volume (1-5x average)
Wick Ratio: Minimum wick-to-total range ratio for trap detection (0.3-0.9)
ATR Settings: Length and multiplier for zone buffer calculation
Zone Management: Maximum zones per type and minimum distance between zones
Display Options: Toggle individual zone types, heatmap intensity, labels, and transparency
Visual Features:
Heatmap Mode: Colour intensity reflects how often price has tested each zone
Smart Zone Management: Prevents chart cluttering by limiting zones and removing those too close together
Dynamic Labels: Clear zone identification with customizable display
Adjustable Transparency: Control zone visibility (10-90%)
How It Works:
The indicator uses ATR-based buffers to create zones around detected levels. It tracks price history to calculate "intensity" scores for the heatmap feature, helping identify the most significant hunting zones. The algorithm ensures zones are meaningful by enforcing minimum distances and limiting total zones displayed.
Avoid placing stop losses at obvious levels where hunting is likely
Identify potential reversal points for counter-trend trades
Recognize false breakout patterns before they complete
Time entries after stop loss hunts are absorbed
Technical Details:
Maximum 500 boxes, lines, and labels for comprehensive zone tracking
Compatible with all timeframes
Works on any market (stocks, forex, crypto, futures)
Real-time detection as new bars confirm

Apex ICT: Proximity & Delivery FlowThis indicator is a specialized ICT execution tool that automates the identification of Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and Changes in State of Delivery (CISD). Unlike standard indicators that clutter the screen, this script uses a Proximity Logic Engine to ensure you only see tradeable levels. It automatically purges old data (50-candle CISD limit) and deletes mitigated zones the moment they are breached, leaving you with a clean, institutional-grade chart.

Volume HistogramShows volume as Histogram, so it's still readable while RVol bars are shown behind in the same pane.
I want to see both because:
Relative volume indicates higher activity than usual
Absolute volume helps with "Volume Price Analysis"
This is meant to be used for 5m, 15m, 30m, 1w charts.
For 1d charts I recommend Volume Auto fit though, since RVol can be gigantic there sometimes.
Volume-Confirmed Trend Thrust IndicatorOVERVIEW
This indicator combines trend strength, momentum & volume analysis to generate high-conviction buy and sell signals. It is based on the "Volume Confirmation for a Trend System" (VCTS) by Buff Pelz Dormeier (TASC August 2024), which I have taken the liberty of 'buffing up' (heh!) by swapping out original VPCI component with the ATR-aware Net Accumulation Flow (NAF) indicator derived from Markos Katsanos' VPN indicator (TASC April 2021).
The result is a system that only triggers buy signals when three independent conditions align:
• A strong trend exists (ADX)
• Momentum is bullish (TTI)
• Institutional accumulation is detected (NAF)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
COMPONENTS
█ ADX (Average Directional Index)
Measures trend strength regardless of direction. A reading above 30 indicates a strong trend worth trading. This filter prevents signals during choppy, sideways markets.
█ TTI (Trend Thrust Indicator)
Dormeier's volume-weighted MACD variant that provides momentum direction. Unlike standard MACD, TTI uses Volume-Weighted Moving Averages (VWMA) and applies a volume multiplier that amplifies signals when volume confirms price movement. When TTI crosses above its signal line, momentum is considered bullish.
█ NAF (Net Accumulation Flow)
The key enhancement - in my humble opinion - over the original VCTS. NAF classifies each bar's volume as:
• Accumulation: Price moved UP more than 10% of ATR
• Distribution: Price moved DOWN more than 10% of ATR
• Neutral: Price movement too small to be meaningful (filtered as noise)
NAF then calculates the net flow (Accumulation Volume - Distribution Volume) over a 30-bar lookback period, normalized and smoothed. This provides a cleaner read on whether institutions are accumulating or distributing.
Perceived benefits of NAF:
• ATR-based noise filtering eliminates false readings from small price movements
• Rolling 30-bar accumulation captures sustained institutional activity
• Empirically calibrated thresholds based on 717 stocks / 360,000 observations
• 3-period EMA smoothing reduces whipsaws
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL LOGIC
🟢 BUY SIGNAL
All three conditions must be true simultaneously:
1. ADX > 30 (strong trend)
2. TTI > Signal Line (bullish momentum)
3. NAF > 16 (accumulation)
Signals fire on the first bar where all conditions align, preventing repeated signals during sustained bullish periods.
🔴 SELL SIGNAL
Exit when volume flow turns negative:
• NAF < -9 (below neutral zone, indicating distribution).
This indicator retains Dormeier's asymmetric approach (strict entry, quick exit) to help protect profits when institutional support fades.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NAF THRESHOLD REFERENCE
Based on proprietary empirical calibration (717 stocks, 360K observations):
>= +35 │ Strong Accumulation (P95, ~5% of days)
>= +28 │ Solid Accumulation (P90, ~10% of days)
>= +16 │ Moderate Accumulation (P75) ← Default Buy Threshold
-9 to +16 │ Neutral Zone (~50% of days)
<= -9 │ Below Neutral ← Default Sell Threshold
<= -22 │ Solid Distribution (P10)
<= -29 │ Strong Distribution (P5)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS
Setting for all 3 variables (ADX, TTI & NAF), alerts and visual conditional formatting are configurable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
USAGE TIPS
1. Works best on daily timeframe for swing trading
2. More effective on liquid stocks where volume data is meaningful
3. Consider using NAF threshold of 28 (P90) for higher conviction entries
5. Combine with price action analysis (support/resistance, RS, chart patterns)

Black-Scholes Gamma Scalping Strategy# Black-Scholes Gamma Scalping Strategy
## Overview
This strategy applies options market-making principles to spot/futures trading using the Black-Scholes pricing model. It simulates the behavior of a delta-hedged straddle position, generating buy and sell signals based on how a market maker would hedge their gamma exposure.
---
## The Concept: Gamma Scalping
Professional options traders who hold long straddles (long call + long put at the same strike) profit when the underlying moves significantly in either direction. Here's why:
- A straddle has **positive gamma**, meaning its delta increases as price rises and decreases as price falls
- To stay delta-neutral, traders must **buy after dips** and **sell after rallies**
- If **realized volatility > implied volatility**, the profits from these hedging trades exceed the daily theta (time decay) cost
This strategy captures that edge by:
1. Calculating theoretical Greeks using Black-Scholes
2. Monitoring when delta deviates from neutral
3. Trading to "hedge" back to neutral — buying weakness, selling strength
---
## Black-Scholes Greeks Calculated
| Greek | Symbol | What It Measures |
|-------|--------|------------------|
| Delta | Δ | Directional exposure |
| Gamma | Γ | Rate of delta change |
| Vega | ν | Sensitivity to volatility |
| Theta | Θ | Time decay per day |
All Greeks are calculated in real-time using the standard Black-Scholes formula with configurable inputs for strike, expiration, implied volatility, and risk-free rate.
---
## Entry Signals
**Long Entry** (buy the underlying):
- Price drops significantly (gamma scalp trigger), OR
- Straddle delta falls below the lower hedge band
- Volatility filter confirms favorable regime (HV > IV)
**Short Entry** (sell the underlying):
- Price rises significantly (gamma scalp trigger), OR
- Straddle delta rises above the upper hedge band
- Volatility filter confirms favorable regime
---
## Volatility Regime Filter
The strategy compares **Historical Volatility (HV)** to **Implied Volatility (IV)**:
- **HV/IV > 1.2** → Long volatility regime (gamma scalping profitable) → Trading enabled
- **HV/IV < 0.8** → Short volatility regime (theta wins) → Trading paused or reversed
- **Between** → Neutral, proceed with caution
This filter helps avoid trading when market conditions don't favor the strategy.
---
## Key Inputs
**Option Parameters:**
- Strike Offset % — Distance from ATM (0 = at-the-money)
- Days to Expiration — Synthetic option tenor (affects gamma magnitude)
- Implied Volatility — Your estimate of fair IV
- Risk-Free Rate — For BS calculation
**Trading Parameters:**
- Gamma Scalp Threshold — ATR multiple to trigger trades
- Delta Hedge Band % — How far delta must deviate to signal
- Volatility Regime Filter — Enable/disable HV/IV filter
**Risk Management:**
- Stop Loss / Take Profit (ATR multiples)
- Max Drawdown % — Pauses trading if exceeded
- Max Concurrent Positions
---
## How to Use
1. **Set Implied Volatility** to match current market IV (check options chain or VIX for reference)
2. **Adjust Days to Expiration** — Shorter = higher gamma, more signals; Longer = smoother
3. **Tune the Hedge Band** — Tighter bands = more trades; Wider = fewer, larger moves
4. **Enable Volatility Filter** for trend-following vol regimes, disable for pure mean-reversion
**Best suited for:**
- Range-bound or choppy markets
- High realized volatility environments
- Liquid instruments with tight spreads
**Avoid using when:**
- Strong directional trends (gamma scalping loses to delta)
- Volatility is collapsing
- Low liquidity / wide spreads
---
## Information Table
The on-chart table displays real-time:
- Current strike price
- Straddle Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta
- Historical vs Implied Volatility
- HV/IV Ratio
- Current volatility regime
---
## Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:
- Long entry signals
- Short entry signals
- Max drawdown protection triggered

Simple Volume IndicatorVolume is an important indicator in technical analysis because it is used to measure the relative significance of a market move.
The higher the volume during a price move, the more significant the move and the lower the volume during a price move, the less significant the move.
here i made some changes using Significant volume which helps to see the Price moment
Black = Unconsumed Selling
Blue = Exceptional Buying Strength
Yellow = Demand Strength
The Supply–Demand Battle
Think of it like this:
Black bar = supply waiting to be absorbed.
Blue = demand stepping in to absorb supply.
Yellow = Strength of move
If Black dominate without follow-up blue/yellow, price struggles.
If blue/yelow appear after Black, it signals buyers are winning.
Relative Vol % (RTH Only)A measure of the relationship between the most recent trading activity to the number of shares traded on an average daily basis (over the last 50 trading sessions).

VOLKDW!This indicator displays real-time trading volume to help identify institutional participation, momentum strength, and potential reversals.
Volume bars expand during periods of high market interest, often confirming breakouts, trend continuations, and high-probability entries. Contracting volume can signal exhaustion, consolidation, or weakening trends.
How to Use:
Rising price + rising volume → strong trend confirmation
Rising price + falling volume → possible divergence or fake breakout
High volume spikes → institutional activity or key decision points
Low volume zones → chop, consolidation, or no-trade environments
Best used alongside price action, support/resistance, ORB, and market structure for confirmation—not as a standalone signal.
💣 Volume Pressure Indicator – Description (Aggressive / Trader Style)
This indicator tracks raw volume pressure to expose where real money steps in.
Explosive volume bars often mark:
Breakouts that actually matter
Stop runs
Reversal traps
Trend continuation fuel
When price moves without volume, it’s usually fake.
When volume expands, something real is happening.
Trading Logic:
Volume spike + breakout = high-conviction move
Volume spike + rejection = reversal / fade setup
Weak volume = sit on hands
Climax volume = trend exhaustion warning
Designed to keep you out of dead markets and in sync with momentum.

VRVP Clone + Multi-POC -- PerroGordoVRVP Clone + Multi-POC
Overview
VRVP Clone + Multi-POC replicates TradingView's native Visible Range Volume Profile with several practical enhancements. The indicator displays volume distribution across price levels for the visible chart range, which is useful for identifying high-volume nodes, support/resistance zones, and areas of price acceptance.
The main differentiator from the built-in VRVP is support for multiple Point of Control (POC) lines with an intelligent peak detection algorithm. Instead of just showing the single highest-volume level, you can identify distinct volume clusters across different price zones.
Features
Dynamic Visible Range
Recalculates automatically on scroll or zoom
Analyzes only visible bars
Profile width scales proportionally to view
Multiple POC Detection (1-8 levels)
Volume Nodes Mode: Peak detection algorithm finds local volume maxima across distinct price clusters
Highest Rows Mode: Traditional approach - top N rows by raw volume
Configurable minimum separation between nodes to prevent bunching
Individual colors for each POC level
Volume Display Modes
Up/Down: Split bars showing buy vs. sell volume with black outlines for visual separation
Total: Single bar colored by dominant direction
Delta: Net volume (buy minus sell)
Delta Intensity: Gradient coloring indicating buyer/seller dominance strength per row
Value Area
Configurable percentage (default 70%)
VAH and VAL lines with customizable styles
Separate colors for volume inside vs. outside the Value Area
Positioning Options
Left or Right placement
Adjustable profile width as percentage of visible range
Row configuration via "Number of Rows" or "Ticks Per Row"
Additional Features
Statistics table showing bars analyzed, total volume, up/down percentages, price vs POC
POC price labels on chart
Line style options (Solid, Dashed, Dotted)
+++++
How It Works
Volume from each bar is distributed across price rows based on the bar's high-low range. The allocation is proportional - if a bar spans 3 rows with 60% overlap on one row, that row receives 60% of the bar's volume.
Volume Nodes Mode identifies local peaks in the distribution (rows where volume exceeds both neighbors), then selects the highest peaks while enforcing minimum separation. This surfaces distinct support/resistance clusters rather than stacking all POC lines in a single high-volume area.

Applications
Support/Resistance Identification
High-volume nodes tend to act as price magnets. Multiple POCs reveal layered S/R zones that aren't visible with a single POC.
Fair Value Reference
The Value Area represents where 70% of volume traded. Price tends to revert to this zone.
Volume Gap Analysis
Low-volume areas between POCs indicate prices that were rejected quickly - potential breakout or breakdown levels.
Market Structure
Multiple POCs across price levels show where the market has found acceptance, useful for distinguishing range-bound conditions from trending moves.
+++++
Practical Notes
Volume Nodes mode with 3-5 POCs works well for identifying distinct S/R clusters
Higher row counts give more granular analysis on lower timeframes
Delta Intensity mode quickly shows buyer/seller dominance at each level without the visual noise of split bars
If POCs are too clustered, increase Min Node Separation; if too spread out, decrease it or set to 0 for auto
The stats table vs POC comparison is useful for quick directional bias assessment

Volume MAs Cloud Trend | Lyro RSVolume MAs Cloud Trend is a volume-weighted trend-following indicator designed to identify market direction, momentum strength, and dynamic trade management directly on price. By combining volume-adjusted moving averages, adaptive deviation bands, and an integrated ATR trailing stop, it delivers clear visual trend structure and actionable signals in a single overlay.
Key Features
Volume-Adjusted Moving Average
Uses a normalized formula: (Price × Volume) MA ÷ Volume MA, ensuring high-participation price moves carry greater influence. Supports 16+ MA types, with VWMA handled natively.
Deviation Band Cloud
Upper and lower bands are built from standard deviation over the MA length, scaled by independent positive and negative multipliers to adapt to volatility.
Cloud & Trail Modes
Cloud Mode visualizes trend structure using a filled band cloud.
Trail Mode switches to an ATR-based trailing stop for trend management.
Automatic Trend Signals
Bullish signals trigger when price crosses above the positive band.
Bearish signals trigger when price crosses below the negative band.
ATR Trailing Stop (Built-In)
A volatility-adjusted trailing stop initializes on each new trend and updates only in the trade direction, helping lock in gains while staying with the trend.
Custom Visuals & Palettes
Choose from Classic, Mystic, Accented, or Royal palettes, or define your own bullish and bearish colors. Includes MA glow, trend cloud fill, and trend-colored candles.
How It Works
MA Construction
Applies the selected moving average to volume-weighted price (or VWMA when selected) to create a participation-aware trend baseline.
Band Calculation
Calculates rolling standard deviation and offsets it using user-defined multipliers to form adaptive upper and lower trend bands.
Trend Detection
Crosses above the upper band confirm bullish momentum.
Crosses below the lower band confirm bearish momentum.
Trailing Stop Logic
On each new trend signal, an ATR-based trailing stop is initialized and dynamically updated in the trend direction.
Visual Synchronization
MA, cloud, trailing stop, and candles all change color in real time to reflect the current trend state.
Practical Use
Trend Confirmation
Sustained price action outside the cloud indicates strong directional momentum.
Breakout Identification
Band crosses highlight potential trend starts, especially when aligned with volatility expansion.
Trade Management
Trail Mode provides objective, volatility-based exits for trend-following strategies.
Quick Market Scanning
Color-coded candles and cloud structure allow fast visual assessment across multiple symbols and timeframes.
Customization
Adjust MA type and length to control responsiveness
Tune band multipliers for volatility sensitivity
Switch between Cloud and Trail modes depending on strategy

Multi-Timeframe Volume Profile - Auto HVN WallsMulti-Timeframe Volume Profile - Auto HVN Walls
Overview This indicator provides a highly flexible Volume Profile solution that operates across multiple timeframes (Session, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly). Unlike standard profiles, this tool features a unique "Auto HVN Wall" detection system. It automatically identifies meaningful High Volume Nodes (HVNs) within the profile structure and extends them forward as potential support and resistance zones, creating a dynamic map of market structure as it develops.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support: Switch seamlessly between Session, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly profiles.
Auto HVN Walls (Structure Detection): The script analyzes the profile shape in real-time. When it detects significant clusters of volume (HVNs), it automatically draws extended lines ("walls"). These walls often act as magnets or support/resistance levels where price has previously found acceptance.
Session Filtering: When in "Session" mode, you can define specific time windows (e.g., 0930-1615) to isolate Regular Trading Hours (RTH) volume, ignoring overnight data.
Auto-Scaling Width (Monthly Mode): For Monthly profiles, the histogram width dynamically changes throughout the month. It starts wide at the beginning of the month to be visible and gradually narrows as the month progresses, keeping your chart clean.
High Precision: Uses lower timeframe data (user-selectable) to build the profile, ensuring accuracy even on higher timeframe charts.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for price crossing the developing POC, VAH, or VAL.
How It Works
Data Accumulation: The script fetches lower timeframe volume and price data (e.g., 5-minute data on a 1-hour chart) to construct a precise volume histogram.
Wall Detection: It runs a smoothing algorithm over the volume profile. If a price level accumulates volume significantly higher than the average (controlled by the Volume Threshold Multiplier), it marks that level as a "Wall" and extends it.
Value Area: Standard Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and Point of Control (POC) are calculated and displayed for the selected period.
Settings Guide
Profile Period: Choose between Session, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
Session Time: (Only active in "Session" mode) Define the start and end times for the profile (e.g., 0930-1615).
Calculation Precision: Determines the lower timeframe used to build the profile. Lower is more precise but may load slower.
The Walls:
Smoothing Factor: How much to smooth the volume data before finding walls. Higher = fewer, more significant walls.
Volume Threshold: How much volume is needed to trigger a wall.
Extend Walls: If checked, walls extend infinitely to the right.
Auto-Scale Width: (Monthly Only) dynamically adjusts the profile width based on the day of the month.
Use Case This tool is ideal for auction market theorists and volume profile traders who want to visualize where value is building in real-time and identify "sticky" price levels (Walls) where the market is likely to rotate or consolidate.

Apex Adaptive TrailApex Adaptive Trail: Adaptive Volatility Trend System
This custom trend-following indicator improves on standard SuperTrend implementations by addressing two key weaknesses: excessive whipsaws during high volatility and false signals in ranging markets.
Core Logic:
- Synthetic Heikin Ashi values are calculated internally (without changing chart candles) to provide smoother source data for trend detection.
- ATR-based trailing stop with adaptive multiplier: dynamically adjusts between 0.8x and 1.5x the base factor based on current volatility (ATR / 50-period SMA of ATR). Widens in volatile conditions, tightens in quiet markets.
- Weighted Confluence Score (0-100%): Combines four independent filters, each contributing 25%:
• Price position relative to 21-period EMA (trend alignment)
• ADX > 20 (momentum strength)
• Choppiness Index < 60 (trending vs ranging detection)
• Alignment with Daily EMA(50) trend direction
Signals are only generated when price crosses the adaptive trail AND the confluence score exceeds 75% (standard) or 90% (MAX 🔥 ultra-strong). This combination significantly reduces low-quality entries compared to traditional SuperTrend crossovers.
Key Features:
- Dynamic confidence cloud (opacity based on score)
- Real-time dashboard showing volatility state, active filters, trend bias, and estimated historical win rate
- Optional dynamic/fixed profit targets
- Fully customizable filters and adaptive behavior
Usage: Best on 15m to 4H timeframes for trend-following strategies (Crypto, Forex, Indices). Enter on APEX signals, use trail as stop-loss, TP lines for partial exits.
This script integrates established concepts into a unique adaptive framework with volatility-responsive risk management and multi-filter validation.
Disclaimer: For educational and analysis purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management.
"This script combines established indicators (ATR trailing, ADX, Choppiness Index, EMA, MTF) into a unique adaptive system with dynamic volatility adjustment and weighted confluence scoring – features not found together in standard SuperTrend variations."
Volume-Weighted Price Z-Score [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Volume-Weighted Price Z-Score indicator quantifies price deviations from volume-weighted equilibrium using statistical standardization. It combines volume-weighted moving average analysis with logarithmic deviation measurement and volatility normalization to identify when prices have moved to statistically extreme levels relative to their volume-weighted baseline, helping traders and investors spot potential mean reversion opportunities across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's core methodology lies in its volume-weighted statistical approach, where price displacement is measured through normalized deviations from volume-weighted price levels:
volumeWeightedAverage = ta.vwma(priceSource, lookbackPeriod)
logDeviation = math.log(priceSource / volumeWeightedAverage)
volatilityMeasure = ta.stdev(logDeviation, lookbackPeriod)
The script uses logarithmic transformation to capture proportional price changes rather than absolute differences, ensuring equal treatment of percentage moves regardless of price level:
rawZScore = logDeviation / volatilityMeasure
zScore = ta.ema(rawZScore, smoothingPeriod)
First, it establishes the volume-weighted baseline which gives greater weight to price levels where significant trading occurred, creating a more representative equilibrium point than simple moving averages.
Then, the logarithmic deviation measurement converts the price-to-average ratio into a normalized scale:
logDeviation = math.log(priceSource / volumeWeightedAverage)
Next, statistical normalization is achieved by dividing the deviation by its own historical volatility, creating a standardized z-score that measures how many standard deviations the current price sits from the volume-weighted mean.
Finally, EMA smoothing filters noise while preserving the signal's responsiveness to genuine market extremes:
rawZScore = logDeviation / volatilityMeasure
zScore = ta.ema(rawZScore, smoothingPeriod)
This creates a volume-anchored statistical oscillator that combines price-volume relationship analysis with volatility-adjusted normalization, providing traders with probabilistic insights into market extremes and mean reversion potential based on standard deviation thresholds.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Positive Values (Above Zero): Price trading above volume-weighted average indicating potential overvaluation relative to volume-weighted equilibrium = Caution on longs, potential mean reversion downward = Short/sell opportunities
▶ Negative Values (Below Zero): Price trading below volume-weighted average indicating potential undervaluation relative to volume-weighted equilibrium = Caution on shorts, potential mean reversion upward = Long/buy opportunities
▶ Zero Line Crosses: Mean reversion transitions where price crosses back through volume-weighted equilibrium, indicating shift from overvalued to undervalued (or vice versa) territory
▶ Extreme Positive Zone (Above +2.5σ default): Statistically rare overvaluation representing 98.8%+ confidence level deviation, indicating extremely stretched bullish conditions with high mean reversion probability = Strong correction warning/short signal
▶ Extreme Negative Zone (Below -2.5σ default): Statistically rare undervaluation representing 98.8%+ confidence level deviation, indicating extremely stretched bearish conditions with high mean reversion probability = Strong buying opportunity signal
▶ ±1σ Reference Levels: Moderate deviation zones (±1 standard deviation) marking common price fluctuation boundaries where approximately 68% of price action occurs under normal distribution
▶ ±2σ Reference Levels: Significant deviation zones (±2 standard deviations) marking unusual price extremes where approximately 95% of price action should be contained under normal conditions
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three optimized parameter sets accommodate different analytical approaches, instruments and timeframes. "Default" provides balanced statistical measurement suitable for swing trading and daily/4-hour analysis, offering deviation detection with moderate responsiveness to price dislocations. "Fast Response" delivers heightened sensitivity optimized for intraday trading and scalping on 15-minute to 1-hour charts, using shorter statistical windows and minimal smoothing to capture rapid mean reversion opportunities as they develop. "Smooth Trend" offers conservative extreme identification ideal for position trading on daily to weekly charts, employing extended statistical periods and heavy noise filtering to isolate only the most significant market extremes.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Seven alert conditions enable comprehensive automated monitoring of statistical extremes and mean reversion events. Extreme Overbought triggers when z-score crosses above the extreme threshold (default +2.5σ) signaling rare overvaluation, Extreme Oversold activates when z-score crosses below the negative extreme threshold (default -2.5σ) signaling rare undervaluation. Exit Extreme Overbought and Exit Extreme Oversold alert when prices begin reverting from these statistical extremes back toward the mean. Bullish Mean Reversion notifies when z-score crosses above zero indicating shift to overvalued territory, while Bearish Mean Reversion triggers on crosses below zero indicating shift to undervalued territory. Any Extreme Level provides a combined alert for any extreme threshold breach regardless of direction. These notifications allow you to capitalize on statistically significant price dislocations without continuous chart monitoring.
▶ Color Customization: Six visual themes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, plus Custom) accommodate different chart backgrounds and visual preferences, ensuring optimal contrast for identifying positive versus negative deviations across trading environments. The adjustable fill transparency control (0-100%) allows fine-tuning of the gradient area prominence between the z-score line and zero baseline, with higher opacity values creating subtle background context while lower values produce bold deviation emphasis. Optional bar coloring extends the z-score gradient directly to the indicator pane bars, providing immediate visual reinforcement of current deviation magnitude and direction without requiring reference to the plotted line itself.
*Note: This indicator requires volume data to function correctly, as it calculates deviations from a volume-weighted price average. Tickers with no volume data or extremely limited volume will not produce meaningful results, i.e., the indicator may display flat lines, erratic values, or fail to calculate properly. Using this indicator on assets without volume data (certain forex pairs, synthetic indices, or instruments with unreported/unavailable volume) will produce unreliable or no results at all. Additionally, ensure your chart has sufficient historical data to cover the selected lookback period, e.g., using a 100-bar lookback on a chart with only 50 bars of history will yield incomplete or inaccurate calculations. Always verify your chosen ticker has consistent, accurate volume information and adequate price history before applying this indicator.
[PickMyTrade] Trend strategy for LongThis strategy detects descending trend resistance using pivot-based trendlines and enters long positions when price confirms a breakout above a validated trendline. It is designed to capture bullish trend reversals with strict risk control and flexible exit management.
The system focuses on structural market behavior rather than indicators, making it suitable for traders who prefer price-action-based decision making.
USAGE
This strategy automatically builds trendlines from confirmed pivot highs. A trendline is considered valid only when price has interacted with it a user-defined number of times, ensuring that trades are taken only from well-formed market structures.
A trade is triggered when price closes above a validated descending trendline while optional session and position limits are respected.
All risk and position sizing are calculated automatically based on the selected risk amount and stop-loss distance.
HOW IT WORKS
The strategy identifies swing highs using pivot logic and connects them into descending trendlines. Each trendline must meet a minimum number of touch confirmations before becoming eligible for trading.
When price closes above a valid trendline, the strategy calculates:
Stop-loss placement below the most recent pivot low
Position size based on fixed monetary risk
Profit targets based on the selected exit method
EXIT METHODS
Three exit models are supported:
Risk–Reward Ratio
Uses a fixed multiple of the defined risk distance to set the take-profit level.
Lookback Candle Exit
Exits trades when price shows structural reversal behavior based on recent candles.
Fibonacci Targets
Uses Fibonacci extensions derived from recent swing structure to trail profits dynamically.
An optional trailing stop can also be enabled to protect open profits.
FEATURES
Automatic pivot-based trendline detection
Multi-trendline or single-trendline operation
Dynamic position sizing based on monetary risk
Pivot-based stop-loss placement
Multiple exit methodologies
Optional trailing stop
Optional trading session filter
Fully visualized trendlines, stop levels, and profit targets

Volume-Based Indicator — Data Granularity & Table Guide
1) Critical warning about data granularity (read first)
Important: This indicator is built entirely on volume-derived calculations (volume, volume delta, and related flow metrics). Because of that, its precision is only as good as the granularity and history of the data you feed it.
The most granular view is a tick-based interval (e.g., 1T = one trade/tick). If tick-based intervals are not available for your symbol or your plan, the closest time-based approximation is a 1-second chart (1S).
If you enable any "high-precision / intrabar" options (anything that relies on the smallest updates), make sure you understand which TradingView plan you are using, because intrabar historical depth (how many bars you can load) varies by plan. More history generally means more stable baselines for volume statistics, regime detection, and long lookback features.
Plan-related notes (TradingView)
TradingView limits how many intrabar historical bars can be loaded, depending on your plan. The exact limits are defined by TradingView and can change over time, but as of the current documentation, the intrabar limits are:
• Basic: 5,000 bars
• Essential: 10,000 bars
• Plus: 10,000 bars
• Premium: 20,000 bars
• Expert: 25,000 bars
• Ultimate: 40,000 bars
Tick charts / tick-based intervals are currently positioned as a feature of professional-tier plans (e.g., Expert/Elite/Ultimate). Availability may also vary by symbol and data feed.
