VSA Volume Spread AnalysisVolume Spread Analysis with Trend Direction is an indicator designed to Identify trend based volume spread.
Volume
Spread
Trend
This is a very simple yet powerful to identify Trend and corresponding volume Breakout. Unlike other Volume Indicators this indicator detects Breakout along with trend direction. One can detect the Early breakout in volume using this indicator. The Buy or Sell Signal is based on zero crossing of the Histogram.
Trend direction is confirmed using the MA of the Histogram which is similar to the Volume MA on volume indicator. One can enter a trade using the indicator when Trend direction and histogram are in same direction. Entry is done when ever histogram crosses the Trend MA line.
Fake entries can be eliminated by changing the indicator to higher Timeframe.
Spread is determined using the difference in open and close of the candle
Volume change is determined using the ratio of change of volume to previous volume
EMA 10 is used to determine the Spread and multiplied by volume change so the
PRICE(ema10), Volume, Spread(close-open) are merged to one indicator.
Direction changes when ever difference of VSA is positive or negative.
Pricevolumeanalysis
Price Volume Harmony Indicator [Nasan]The indicator "Price Volume Harmony Indicator " (abbreviated as PVHI) combines relative volume intensity (RVI) and relative price change (PC) to identify potential synergy or divergence between price and volume movements. Let's break down the key components and discuss how to interpret the output:
Relative Volume Intensity (RVI):
It calculates the mean volume intensity using simple moving averages (SMA) of different periods (5, 8, 13, and 144).
It then computes point volume intensity based on the current volume compared to the previous bar's volume.
The final RVI is a combination of mean and point volume intensities.
Relative Price Change (PC):
It calculates the median absolute deviation (MAD) and the price change relative to MAD for three different lengths (5, 8, and 13).
The average relative PC is a weighted combination of the three PC values.
Normalization:
RVI and PC are normalized using Z-scores (standard scores) to bring them to the same scale. This enables easier comparison.
Histogram Plotting:
The RVI and PC are plotted as histograms below the main price chart. Green color bars represent RVI, and blue color bars indicate PC. The RVI bars are light green when the RVI values are decreasing compared to previous bar. Similarly, when PC bars are light blue it indicates that the PC values are decreasing compared to previous bars.
There is a zero line +/- 0.5 SD lines movements above and below the SD lines are practically
significant.
Interpretation :
(1) Strong Bullish Movement :
This is when both the green bars (RVI) and blue bars (PC) increases and are on the same side above zero .
(2) Strong Bearish Movement :
This is when the green bars (RVI) increases and blue bars (PC) decreases. The green bars above zero but blue bars below zero.
(3) Weak Bullish Movement :
This is when the green bars (RVI) decreases and are below zero but the blue bars (PC) increases and are above zero .
(2) Weak Bearish Movement :
This is when both the green bars (RVI) and blue bars (PC) decreases. The green bars and blue bars are below zero.
This output is slightly hard to read but with practice can be read easily.
Price & Volume Profile (Expo)█ Overview
The Price & Volume Profile provides a holistic perspective on market dynamics by simultaneously tracking price action and trading volume across a range of price levels. So it is not only a volume-based indicator but also a price-based one. In addition to illustrating volume distribution, it quantifies how frequently the price has fallen within a particular range, thus offering a holistic perspective on market dynamics.
This unique and comprehensive approach to market analysis by considering both price action and trading volume, two crucial dimensions of market activity. Its distinctive methodology offers several advantages:
Holistic Market View: By simultaneously tracking the frequency of specific price ranges (Price Profile) and the volume traded at those ranges (Volume Profile), this indicator provides a more complete picture of market behavior. It shows not only where the market is trading but also how much it's trading, reflecting both price acceptance levels and market participation intensity.
Point of Control (POC): The POC, as highlighted by this indicator, serves as a significant reference point for traders. It identifies the price level with the highest trading activity, thus indicating a strong consensus among market participants about the asset's fair value. Observing how price interacts with the POC can offer valuable insights into market sentiment and potential trend reversals.
Support and Resistance Levels: Price levels with high trading activity often act as support or resistance in future price movements. The indicator visually represents these levels, enabling traders to anticipate potential price reactions.
Price Profile
Price and Volume Profile
█ Calculations
The algorithm analyzes both trade frequency and volume across different price levels. It identifies these levels within the visible chart range, then examines each bar to determine if the selected price falls within these levels. If so, it increases a counter and adds the trading volume. This process repeats across the visible range and is visualized as a horizontal histogram, each bar representing a price level and the bar length reflecting trade frequency and volume. Additionally, it calculates the Point of Control (POC), signifying the price level with the highest activity.
In summary: The histogram presents a dual perspective - not only the traded volume at each price level but also the frequency of the price hitting each range. The longer the bar, the more times the price has frequented that specific range, revealing key insights into price behavior and acceptance levels. These frequently visited areas often emerge as strong support or resistance zones, helping traders navigate market movements.
Please note that the indicator adjusts to the visible price range, making it adaptable to changing market conditions. This dynamic analysis can provide more relevant and timely information than static indicators.
█ How to use
This indicator is beneficial for traders as it offers insights into the distribution of trading activity across different price levels. It helps identify key areas of support and resistance and gives a visual representation of market sentiment and liquidity.
The point of control (POC) , which is the price level with the highest traded volume or frequency count, becomes even more crucial in this context. It marks the price at which the most trading activity occurred, signaling a strong consensus among market participants about the asset's fair value. If the market price deviates significantly from the POC, it could suggest an overbought or oversold condition, potentially leading to a price reversion.
Fair Price Areas/gaps are specific price levels or zones where an asset has spent limited time in the past. These areas are considered interesting or significant because they may have an impact on future price action.
Similar to the concept of fair value gaps, which refers to discrepancies between an asset's market price and its estimated intrinsic value, Fair Price Areas/gaps focus on price levels that have been relatively underutilized in terms of trading activity. When an asset's price reaches a Fair Price Area/gap, traders and investors pay attention because they expect the price to react in some way. The rationale behind this concept is that price tends to gravitate towards areas where it has spent less time in the past, as the market perceives them as significant levels.
█ Settings
The indicator is customizable, allowing users to define the number of price levels (rows), the offset, the data source, and whether to display volume or frequency count. It also adjusts dynamically to the visible price range on the chart, ensuring that the analysis remains relevant and timely with changing market conditions.
Source: The price to use for the calculation. Typically, this is the closing price. By considering the user-selected Source (typically the closing price), the indicator determines the frequency with which the price lands within each designated price level (row) over the selected period. In essence, the indicator provides a count of bars where the Source price falls within each range, essentially creating a "Price Profile."
Row Size: The number of price levels (rows) to divide the visible price range into.
Display: Choose whether to display the number of bars ("Counter") or the total volume ("Volume") for each price level.
Offset: The distance of the histogram from the price chart.
Point of Control (POC): If enabled, the indicator will highlight the price level with the most activity.

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.
Magnifying Glass (LTF Candles) by SiddWolf█ OVERVIEW
This indicator displays The Lower TimeFrame Candles in current chart, Like Zooming in on the Candle to see it's Lower TimeFrame Structure. It plots intrabar OHLC data inside a Label along with the volume structure of LTF candle in an eloquent format.
█ QUICK GUIDE
Just apply it to the chart, Hover the mouse on the Label and ta-da you have a Lower Timeframe OHLC candles on your screen. Move the indicator to the top and shrink it all the way up, because all the useful data is inside the label.
Inside the label: The OHLC ltf candles are pretty straightforward. Volume strength of ltf candles is shown at bottom and Volume Profile on the left. Read the Details below for more information.
In the settings, you will find the option to change the UI and can play around with Lower TimeFrame Settings.
█ DETAILS
First of all, I would like to thank the @TradingView team for providing the function to get access to the lower timeframe data. It is because of them that this magical indicator came into existence.
Magnifying Glass indicator displays a Candle's Lower TimeFrame data in Higher timeframe chart. It displays the LTF candles inside a label. It also shows the Volume structure of the lower timeframe candles. Range percentage shown at the bottom is the percentage change between high and low of the current timeframe candle. LTF candle's timeframe is also shown at the bottom on the label.
This indicator is gonna be most useful to the price action traders, which is like every profitable trader.
How this indicator works:
I didn't find any better way to display ltf candles other than labels. Labels are not build for such a complex behaviour, it's a workaround to display this important information.
It gets the lower timeframe information of the candle and uses emojis to display information. The area that is shown, is the range of the current timeframe candle. Range is a difference between high and low of the candle. Range percentage is also shown at the bottom in the label.
I've divided the range area into 20 parts because there are limitation to display data in the labels. Then the code checks out, in what area does the ltf candle body or wick lies, then displays the information using emojis.
The code uses matrix elements for each block and relies heavily on string manipulation. But what I've found most difficult, is managing to fit everything correctly and beautifully so that the view doesn't break.
Volume Structure:
Strength of the Lower TimeFrame Candles is shown at the bottom inside the label. The Higher Volume is shown with the dark shade color and Lower Volume is shown with the light shade. The volume of candles are also ranked, with 1 being the highest volume, so you can see which candle have the maximum to minimum volume. This is pretty important to make a price action analysis of the lower timeframe candles.
Inside the label on the left side you will see the volume profile. As the volume on the bottom shows the strength of each ltf candles, Volume profile on the left shows strength in a particular zone. The Darker the color, the higher the volume in the zone. The Highest volume on the left represents Point of Control (Volume Profile POC) of the candle.
Lower TimeFrame Settings:
There is a limitation for the lowest timeframe you can show for a chart, because there is only so much data you can fit inside a label. A label can show upto 20 blocks of emojis (candle blocks) per row. Magnifying Glass utilizes this behaviour of labels. 16 blocks are used to display ltf candles, 1 for volume profile and two for Open and Close Highlighter.
So for any chart timeframe, ltf candles can be 16th part of htf candle. So 4 hours chart can show as low as 15 minutes of ltf data. I didn't provide the open settings for changing the lower timeframe, as it would give errors in a lot of ways. You can change the timeframe for each chart time from the settings provided.
Limitations:
Like I mentioned earlier, this indicator is a workaround to display ltf candles inside a label. This indicator does not work well on smaller screens. So if you are not able to see the label, zoom out on your browser a bit. Move the indicator to either top or bottom of all indicators and shrink it's space because all details are inside the label.
█ How I use MAGNIFYING GLASS:
This indicator provides you an edge, on top of your existing trading strategy. How you use Magnifying Glass is entirely dependent on your strategy.
I use this indicator to get a broad picture, before getting into a trade. For example I see a Doji or Engulfing or any other famous candlestick pattern on important levels, I hover the mouse on Magnifying Glass, to look for the price action the ltf candles have been through, to make that pattern. I also use it with my "Wick Pressure" indicator, to check price action at wick zones. Whenever I see price touching important supply and demand zones, I check last few candles to read chart like a beautiful price action story.
Also volume is pretty important too. This is what makes Magnifying Glass even better than actual lower timeframe candles. The increasing volume along with up/down trend price shows upward/downward momentum. The sudden burst (peak) in the volume suggests volume climax.
Volume profile on the left can be interpreted as the strength/weakness zones inside a candle. The low volume in a price zone suggests weakness and High volume suggests strength. The Highest volume on the left act as POC for that candle.
Before making any trade, I read the structure of last three or four candles to get the complete price action picture.
█ Conclusion
Magnifying Glass is a well crafted indicator that can be used to track lower timeframe price action. This indicator gives you an edge with the Multi Timeframe Analysis, which I believe is the most important aspect of profitable trading.

TASC 2022.06 Ehlers Loops█ OVERVIEW
TASC's June 2022 edition Traders' Tips includes an article by John Ehlers titled "Ehlers Loops. Part 1". This is the code implementing the price-volume Ehlers Loops he introduced in the publication.
█ CONCEPTS
John Ehlers developed Ehlers loops as a tool to visualize the performance of one data stream versus another, both filtered and scaled. In this article, the author applies his concept to exploit and/or dispel the dogmatic principles of reliable price-volume relationships.
The script offers two different ways to visualize Ehlers Loops:
Oscillators (default option)
In this implementation, filtered and scaled volume is plotted along with filtered and scaled price as zero-mean oscillators. Observation of the relative direction of volume and price oscillators can be discretionarily used to interpret and predict market conditions. For example, it is generally assumed that an increase in volume and an increase in price define a bullish condition. Similarly, decreasing volume and increasing price are generally considered bearish. A decrease in volume and a decrease in price is considered a bullish condition. The increase in volume and decrease in price is often thought to be bearish.
Scatterplot
This Crocker-style visualization displays filtered and scaled price against filtered and scaled volume for the selected timespan. Fluctuations in volume are plotted along the x -axis, while price changes along the y -axis. This way of visualizing the Ehlers Loop allows you to analyze the curvature and directional path of the price in relation to volume, offering a different comparative perspective. The boundaries of the price and volume scale on the Ehlers Loop Crocker-chart are presented in standard deviations. Deviations can be used to predict possible future price or volume fluctuations. The expected probability of potential reversals is 68%, 95% and 99.7% at one, two and three standard deviations, respectively.
█ CALCULATIONS
The following steps are used to build an Ehlers Loop:
• Both price and volume are filtered to be band-limited signals. This is done by applying the high-pass Butterworth filter in combination with the low-pass SuperSmooth filter.
The cutoff wavelengths of the high-pass and low-pass filters are defined by the input parameters HPPeriod and LPPeriod , respectively.
These values change the appearance of the Ehlers Loops and can be customized to your trading style.
• The filtered price and volume time series are then scaled in terms of standard deviation by dividing each by their root-mean-square values.
• The resultant price and volume data are plotted as zero-mean oscillators or as a scatterplot.
MoneyFlowTrend Oscillator (cc) [M.Right]Hey Traders,
Tonight I present to you a brand new indicator.
I call it the MoneyFlowTrend Oscillator . This is another one that I've been piecing together for years and learning how to code pine has allowed me to bring it to life.
Built on the idea of Supply & Demand Zones , this utilizes money flow and numerous calculations to create a picture of what is happening underneath the surface of the price action.
Richard Wykoff was one of the first market analysts to explain how the economic cycle can be applied to explain market price action; thus, technical analysis. He described two zones among the total of 4 phases; the two zones are Distribution and Accumulation zones, also known as Supply & Demand zones.
______________________________
Since most of you already know the economic cycle, I will try to be concise.
The basic ideas:
When supply is greater than demand, the price goes up down.
When demand is greater than supply, price goes up.
When demand is equal to supply, the price stays about the same (going sideways).
Price action has --Uptrends, downtrends, and price ranges (consolidation).
Wykoff's 4 phases to explain this price action :
1) Accumulation ( Demand zone)
2) Markup (Uptrend)
3) Distribution ( Supply zone)
4) Markdown (Downtrend)
______________________________
With all that said, usually you will either see a sharp jump from a supply or demand zone or it will consolidate within it. Until a new one is formed on the chart.
This indicator attempts to put all of that into a lower indicator. I tried to separate the retailers and the banks and then put them back together to get a full picture.
The MoneyFlowTrend Oscillator Signals are super accurate.
((accuracy can't always be this close to perfect.))
These are the signals + highlight that I have activated, you can toggle on and off between them.
Fully customizable and includes alerts.
Good luck traders.
Cheers,
Mike

Hilega_MilegaThis study shows the price action strength using RSI & Moving Averages.
In this study different line indicates below measures---
Black Line - Strength
Red Line - Volume
Green Line - Price
1. Volume line is below price and strength then the price may go up.
2. Volume line is above price and strength then the price may go down.
3. Volume line below strength line price may stop going down.
4. Price line above strength then price may go down.
There are total 2 zones which indicate the price strength in the red zone price is showing strength ness and in the blue zone, the price is showing weakness.
This study helps to identify is the price is having strength or not if going up or down based on volume.

Freedom of MovementFreedom of Movement Indicator
---------------------------------------------------------
In “Evidence-Based Support & Resistance” article, author Melvin Dickover introduces two new indicators to help traders note support and resistance areas by identifying supply and demand pools. Here you can find the support-resistance technical indicator called "Freedom of Movement".
The indicator takes into account price-volume behavior in order to detect points where movement of price is suddenly restricted, the possible supply and demand pools. These points are also marked by Defended Price Lines (DPLs).
DPLs are horizontal lines that run across the chart at levels defined by following conditions:
* Overlapping bars: If the indicator spike (i.e., indicator is above 2.0 or a custom value) corresponds to a price bar overlapping the previous one, the previous close can be used as the DPL value.
* Very large bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar of a large size, use its close price as the DPL value.
* Gapping bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar gapping from the previous bar, the DPL value will depend on the gap size. Small gaps can be ignored: the author suggests using the previous close as the DPL value. When the gap is big, the close of the latter bar is used instead.
* Clustering spikes: If the indicator spikes come in clusters, use the extreme close or open price of the bar corresponding to the last or next to last spike in cluster.
DPLs can be used as support and resistance levels. In order confirm and refine them, FoM (Freedom of Movement) is used along with the Relative Volume Indicator (RVI), which you can find here:
Clustering spikes provide the strongest DPLs while isolated spikes can be used to confirm and refine those provided by the RVI. Coincidence of spikes of the two indicator can be considered a sign of greater strength of the DPL.
