Multi Exchange Relative Volume - FOREXHello traders! This is my first script that I will publish here. This script calculates the relative volume based on the average volume at that time of the day across different brokers.
Relativevolume
[2022]Volume Flow v3 with alertsIndicators are an essential part of technical analysis of cryptocurrency. Their main function is to predict market direction based on historic price, cryptocurrency volume and other information. There are several types of crypto indicators illustrating various parameters (trend, volatility, volume, momentum, etc.) but in this article we will look at volume indicators.
Volume indicators demonstrate changing of trading volume over time. This information is very useful as crypto trading volume displays how strong the current trend is. For example, if the price goes up and the volume is high then the trend is strong and will more likely last longer. There are various volume indicators, but we’ll talk about the most popular ones, such as:
On Balance Volume
Accumulation/Distribution Line
Money Flow Index
Chaikin Oscillator

Effective Volume (Willain)This is the Effective Volume using the Average Separation Method
Excerpt:
The most obvious way to separate Large from Small Effective Volume is to calculate the per-minute average Effective Volume exchanged for all the
minutes of the day where a price inflection was found. The volume above that average is called Large Effective Volume (pg. 67)
Looks at the Close(n) to Close(n-1)/h-c*vol and registers it if its above 30% of total volume.
4C Volume w/ Relative Volume at TimeThis is a Volume indicator that also shows Relative Volume at Time (RVOL).
The RVOL is easily visible as a background color, that changes between Low and High RVOL colors.
The RVOL portion of the indicator is a modified version of the 'Relative Volume At Time' indicator by Tradingview (which has been the best/most accurate RVOL indicator i have seen yet on Tradingview, and seems to closely match the how the "Zanger Volume" indicator works).
Elevated RVOL can be a very important criteria for trading , especially on lower time frames.
This indicator can be used as a simple filter when looking at charts to determine whether it should be traded or not, based on the RVOL.
Higher volume/participation relative to previous time periods can lead to better follow through of moves and price action, and can lead to trending conditions.
Lower RVOL can lead to choppy market conditions, with lower participation and follow through on chart patterns.
The RVOL portion of the indicator draws from the Tradingview 'Relative Volume At Time' indicator developed by authors @e2e4mfck and @LucF , for TradingView.
This indicator takes the Past Volume mark and changes it into a background color.
High RVOL = When the day's cumulative volume is greater than the Past Volume levels, then the background is painted Blue by default
Low RVOL = When the day's cumulative volume is lower than the Past Volume levels, then the background is painted Purple by default
See annotated examples in the chart Below, which compares/contrasts this new indicator with the RVOL indicator by Tradingview:
Portions of the 'Relative Volume At Time' indictor code have been removed to clean up the script.
Plans in the future are to remove more code were possible, to further refine the script and speed up the processing times for the indicator.
If anyone is able to strip out more and keep it functioning the same, please let me know.
Enjoy.
Credit also goes to author @LazyBear . Portions of the Volume indicator is adapted from - HawkEye Volume Indicator
High Volume BarsThis script colors bars whenever their volume has exceeded more than a standard deviation (or multiples of it) from a given amount of bars in the past.
Volume is commonly used as confirmation for a break of a significant level, or as indicative of offside positions when a level fails to be defended. Conviction or Excess, depending on the context.
Volume Surge indicatorThis indicator highlight candles when Volume surge "X" times in compare of last "n" candle.
It helps you to find moments of market which Volatility and Position volumes raise significantly.
In other words, It shows footstep of "Big Banks" or "Whales" or other Giants ;)
- default value highlight candles when Volume is 2 time more than average of last 30 candle. But you can modify both values in your favor.
* You can set Alarm for notifying in advance when Volume surge happened on any chart.
I hope you guys find it helpful and handy
Volume x Price in Crores + RVolScript is designed predominantly for Indian users. Many are used to looking at numbers in lakhs and crores vs millions and billions, this provides a volume figure in rupee crores.
Formula is last close_price x volume / 1 cr or (close_price x volume /10000000). The second figure is the simple moving average (default to 20sma ) again in rupee crores. The third is the relative volume - todays volume / 20 day moving average.
Helpful especially when putting on a trade for a thinly traded stock. It is a quick gauge to how large or small one would want to buy or avoid. Helps manage risk. Also, great to see large volumes in crores to gauge institutional buys or sells.
On 10/NOV/21 - In the chart displayed here, Titan volumes are on average quite substantial as one can see. The 20 day moving average is 550 CR+. 10/NOV volumes are shown as 226 CR and the RVOL is 0.41 (226/550).
Relative Volume (rVol), Better Volume, Average Volume ComparisonThis is the best version of relative volume you can find a claim which is based on the logical soundness of its calculation.
I have amalgamated various volume analysis into one synergistic script. I wasn't going to opensource it. But, as one of the lucky few winners of TradingClue 2. I felt obligated to give something back to the community.
Relative volume traditionally compares current volume to prior bar volume or SMA of volume. This has drawbacks. The question of relative volume is "Volume relative to what?" In the traditional scripts you'll find it displays current volume relative to the last number of bars. But, is that the best way to compare volume. On a daily chart, possibly. On a daily chart this can work because your units of time are uniform. Each day represents a full cycle of volume. However, on an intraday chart? Not so much.
Example: If you have a lookback of 9 on an hourly chart in a 24 hour market, you are then comparing the average volume from Midnight - 9 AM to the 9 AM volume. What do you think you'll find? Well at 9:30 when NY exchanges open the volume should be consistently and predictably higher. But though rVol is high relative to the lookback period, its actually just average or maybe even below average compared to prior NY session opens. But prior NY session opens are not included in the lookback and thus ignored.
This problem is the most visibly noticed when looking at the volume on a CME futures chart or some equivalent. In a 24 hour market, such as crypto, there are website's like skew can show you the volume disparity from time of day. This led me to believe that the traditional rVol calculation was insufficient. A better way to calculate it would be to compare the 9:30 am 30m bar today to the last week's worth of 9:30 am 30m bars. Then I could know whether today's volume at 9:30 am today is high or low based on prior 9:30 am bars. This seems to be a superior method on an intraday basis and is clearly superior in markets with irregular volume
This led me to other problems, such as markets that are open for less than 24 hours and holiday hours on traditional market exchanges. How can I know that the script is accurately looking at the correct prior relevant bars. I've created and/or adapted solutions to all those problems and these calculations and code snippets thus have value that extend beyond this rVol script for other pinecoders.
The Script
This rVol script looks back at the bars of the same time period on the viewing timeframe. So, as we said, the last 9:30 bars. Averages those, then divides the: . The result is a percentage expressed as x.xxx. Thus 1.0 mean current volume is equal to average volume. Below 1.0 is below the average and above 1.0 is above the average.
This information can be viewed on its own. But there are more levels of analysis added to it.
Above the bars are signals that correlate to the "Better Volume Indicator" developed by, I believe, the folks at emini-watch and originally adapted to pinescript by LazyBear. The interpretation of these symbols are in a table on the right of the indicator.
The volume bars can also be colored. The color is defined by the relationship between the average of the rVol outputs and the current volume. The "Average rVol" so to speak. The color coding is also defined by a legend in the table on the right.
These can be researched by you to determine how to best interpret these signals. I originally got these ideas and solid details on how to use the analysis from a fellow out there, PlanTheTrade.
I hope you find some value in the code and in the information that the indicator presents. And I'd like to thank the TradingView team for producing the most innovative and user friendly charting package on the market.
(p.s. Better Volume is provides better information with a longer lookback value than the default imo)
Credit for certain code sections and ideas is due to:
LazyBear - Better Volume
Grimmolf (From GitHub) - Logic for Loop rVol
R4Rocket - The idea for my rVol 1 calculation
And I can't find the guy who had the idea for the multiples of volume to the average. Tag him if you know him
Final Note: I'd like to leave a couple of clues of my own for fellow seekers of trading infamy.
Indicators: indicators are like anemometers (The things that measure windspeed). People talk bad about them all the time because they're "lagging." Well, you can't tell what the windspeed is unless the wind is blowing. anemometers are lagging indicators of wind. But forecasters still rely on them. You would use an indicator, which I would define as a instrument of measure, to tell you the windspeed of the markets. Conversely, when people talk positively about indicators they say "This one is great and this one is terrible." This is like a farmer saying "Shovels are great, but rakes are horrible." There are certain tools that have certain functions and every good tool has a purpose for a specific job. So the next time someone shares their opinion with you about indicators. Just smile and nod, realizing one day they'll learn... hopefully before they go broke.
How to forecast: Prediction is accomplished by analyzing the behavior of instruments of measure to aggregate data (using your anemometer). The data is then assembled into a predictive model based on the measurements observed (a trading system). That predictive model is tested against reality for it's veracity (backtesting). If the model is predictive, you can optimize your decision making by creating parameter sets around the prediction that are synergistic with the implications of the prediction (risk, stop loss, target, scaling, pyramiding etc).

[KL] Relative Volume + ATR StrategyThis strategy will enter into long position when (a) current volume is above the average volume, and when (b) volatility of prices (based on ATR) is relatively low.
Backtested on hourly timeframes, win rates range between 35% to 50% on stocks with positive drifts (i.e. tendency to move upwards). Default setups are as follows:
- Average volume is computed using simple moving average (sma) of 14 periods. By default, 1.4x ratio seems to work well on most large cap stocks. If it's too high, then amount of potential points for entry will decrease. But if it's too low, then this indicator becomes meaningless.
- ATR (for determining volatility), look back period is 14 (following conventions). I have noticed that the profits could change drastically when changed to different values for each individually security. Feel free to experiment around with this parameter.
Other information: This strategy is based off of one of my previous scripts; a script called "Relatively Volume Strategy". The objective of this new script is to simplify the process of determining periods of low volatility. In this new script, we assume prices are consolidating when current ATR is within its moving average value by +/- one standard deviation.
Volume PlusVolume plus provides volume insights to identify increase or decrease in relative volume or sudden volume expansion that exceeds the average. Based on the period selected the script displays the color code.
Features
1. Two different sensitivity levels can be selected for volumes and coloring.
2. Whenever the volume is higher than the selected SMA, volume bars will change color.
3. Can Plot 20 SMA (can be changed)
Volume Average / Current Volume / ATR On ChartSimple Study to display volume data and atr value on the chart. It will display the relative volume in percentage, an average volume and the current volume and ATR value for the time resolution.
Thank you to @PriceCatch for the ATR code
SVA - Simple Volume Analyzer, by BlueJayBird [bjb] ENGLISH & SPANISH
------------------------------------- ENSLIGH
The idea was initially inspired in the concepts shared by @LazyBear on his indicator "Better Volume Indicator" (). But I found it somewhat complicated and dull. So I came up with this.
Concept:
It changes the color of volume bars based on surrounding volume changes.
Volume changes are plotted as volume MAs lines in the volume pane.
Whenever the volume is higher than these MAs, the bar changes color.
For this reason, the bar color change is RELATIVE TO the surroundings, because the color change depends on how far the MA has been extended due to sudden (or not) changes in the volume.
BAR COLORS:
Weak Green and Red: Low volume. The calm before or after the storm.
Normal Green and Red: Mid volume. Still low volume, you may get bored.
Yellow: High volume. Players are playing hard and harder.
White: Ultra-High Volume. The elephants stepped in.
NOTES:
SVA works better at lower timeframes. Though as far as I can tell, it works pretty well as far as 1D timeframe.
------------------------------------- SPANISH
La idea estuvo inicialmente inspirada en los conceptos expuestos por @LazyBear en su indicador "Better Volume Indicator" (). Pero lo encontré un poco complicado y falto de claridad. Así que me inventé este.
Conceptp:
Cambia el color de las barras basándose en los últimos cambios de volumen.
Los cambios de volumen son ploteados como lineas de medias móviles (MAs, es decir "Moving Averages") en la sección del volumen (chart pane).
En cualquier momento que el volumen es mayor que estos MAs, el color de las barras cambia.
Por esta razon, el cambio de color de las barras es RELATIVO a lo que está sucediendo alrededor, ya que el cambio de color depende de qué tan lejos el MA se haya extendido por causa de los últimos cambios (o no) de volumen.
BAR COLORS:
Verde y rojo apagados: Volumen bajo (Low Volume). La calma antes de la tormenta.
Verde y rojo normales: Volumen medio (Mid volume). Volumen todavía bajo. Es posible que te aburras.
Amarillo: Volumen alto (High Volume). Los jugadores están jugando duro.
Blanco: Volumen ultra-alto (Ultra-High Volume). Los elefantes entran a la cancha.
NOTAS:
SVA funciona mejor en temporalidades menores. Pero por lo que he visto, funciona bien hasta la temporalidad de 1D.
[KL] Relative Volume StrategyThis strategy will Long when:
Confirmation #1: when volume is relatively high
Confirmation #2: during periods of price consolidation (See )
It exits when either (a) stop loss limit is reached, or when (b) price actions suggest trend is bearish.
Measuring price volatility to assume consolidation:
For each candlestick, we quantify price volatility by referring to the value of standard deviations (2x) of closing prices over a look-back period of 20 candles. This is exactly what the Bollinger Band (“BOLL”) indicates by default.
Knowing the value of standard deviation (2x) of prices (aka the width of lower/upper BOLL bands), we then compare it with ATR (x2) over a user-defined length (can be configured in settings). Volatility is considered to be low, relatively, when the standard deviation (x2) of prices is less than ATR (2x).
Relative VolumeRelative Volume label in percent. So 400% RVol means, today's volume is 4x compared to avg volume for the length you selected.
DTR vs ATR w RVolDTR vs ART along with Relative Volume in Percentage. So if you see RVol as 200% with input length of 10 days, today's volume is 2x compared to past 10 days. It helps if today's volume is already reached 20% or 30% within 30mins of market open, etc.
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.

Volume, Simple Relative Volume HighlightThis script plots volume bars and highlight bars that have an unusual activity, compare to the average (Standard: Simple Moving Average, 50 periods).
The script is useful for checking daily volume levels on equities. Where there is high volume, there is likely volatility, wich is good for day trading and swing trading entries.
(JS) Ultimate RSISo my goal here was to combine all of my RSI ideas into a single indicator in order to make kind of a "Swiss Army Knife" version of the Relative Strength Index ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, let's begin with the first RSI indicator I made, which is the RSIDVW (Divergence/Volume Weighted);
To rephrase my original post, the "divergence/volume weighted" portion is meant to expand upon the current RSI format by adding more variables into the equation.
The standard RSI is based off one value that you select (open, close, OHLC4, HLC3, etc.) while this version takes three variables into account.
The default setting is to have RSI normal without anything added to it (Divergence Weight = 0)
1st - it takes the standard variable that RSI normally uses.
2nd - it factors RSI divergence by taking the RSI change % and price change % to form a ratio. Using this ratio, I duplicated the RSI formula and created a divergence RS to be factored in with the standard price RS .
3rd - it takes Relative Volume and amplifies/weakens the move based upon volume confirmation. (So if Relative Volume for a price bar is 1.0, the RSI plot would be the same as it normally would)
So to explain the parameters
- Relative Volume Length: This uses the RV length you specify to determine spikes in volume (or lack of volume ), which then is added into the formula to influence the strength of the RSI move
- RV x Divergence: This is how I calculated the original formula, but you can leave this unchecked to turn Relative Volume off, or apply elsewhere.
- RV x RS: There's two sides, Divergence RS and Standard RS - these check marks allow you to select which part you prefer to be multiplied by Relative Volume .
Checking neither turns off Relative Volume , while checking both amplifies its effects by placing it on both sides of the equation.
-Divergence Weight: This controls how much the DVW portion of the formula influences the RSI plot. As I referred to earlier, default is 0 making RSI normal. The Scale is 0-2, so 1.0 would be the same as 50%.
When I do have DVW on, I generally set it to 0.5
-SMA Divergence: To smooth, or not to smooth, that is the question. UJsing an SMA here is much smoother in my opinon, but leaving it unchecked runs it through an RMA the same way standard RSI is calculated.
-Show Fractal Channel: This allows you to see the whole fractal channel around the RSI (This portion of the code, compliments of the original Ricardo Santos fractal script)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next portion of the script is adding a "Slow RSI"...
This is rather simple really, it allows you to add a second RSI plot so that you can watch for crossovers between fast and slow lines.
-Slow RSI: This turns on the second RSI Plot.
-Slow RSI Length: This determines the length of the second RSI Plot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pivot Point RSI was something a friend of mine requested I make which turned out pretty cool, I thought... It is also available in this indicator.
-Pivot Points: Selecting this enables the rest of the pivot point related parts of the script
If Pivot Points isn't selected, none of the following things will work
-Plot Pivot: Plots the pivot point .
-Plot S1/R1: Plots S1/R1.
-Plot S2/R2: Plots S2/R2.
-Plot S3/R3: Plots S3/R3.
-Plot S4/R4: Plots S4/R4.
-Plot S5/R5: Plots S5/R5.
-Plot Halfway Points: Plots a line between each pivot .
-Show Pivot Labels: Shows the proper label for each pivot .
When using intraday charts, from a 15 minute interval or less the pivots are calculated based on a single days worth of price action, above that the distance expands.
Here are the current resolutions Pivot Points will work with:
Minutes - 1 , 2, 3, 5, 10, 13, 15, 20, 30, 39, 78, 130, 195
Hours - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Daily
Weekly
Currently not available on seconds or monthly
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background Colors
Background Colors: I have six color schemes I created for this which can be toggled here (they can be edited).
Gray Background for Dark Mode: Having this on looks much better when using dark mode on your charts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now finally the last portion, Fibonacci Levels
-Fibonacci Levels: This is off, by default, which then uses the standard levels on RSI (30-50-70). When turned on, it removes these and marks fib levels from 0.146 through 0.886.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the quick rundown:
Ultimate RSI contains "divergence/volume weighted" modifications, a slow RSI plot, pivot points , and Fibonacci levels all while auto-plotting divergence and having the trend illustrated in the background colors.
RSI has always been my "go to" indicator, so I hope you all enjoy this as much as I do!
Multi-Exchange Volume (30 Tickers) by kurtsmock + BV + rVolauthor: kurtsmock
Fully Customizable ticker set. Up to 30 Tickers. Bitcoin set as default.
-- IMPORTANT NOTE: --
30 Exchanges are a lot. It can take a while to load. You can fully customize this indicator to your liking. Here's how:
1. Load indicator
2. Open Settings
3. Uncheck the switch box for exchanges you want unincluded
4. At the bottom of the settings menu click "Defaults" and hit "Save as Default"
5. To turn them all back on, hit "Reset Settings" in that same "Defaults" menu and click "Save as Default" again.
Also, you don't have to use this with Bitcoin. This works with any asset, just change the ticker in the settings.
There's a lot going on with this indicator so the following is descriptions and instructions to help you better understand what's going on here. Thanks!
Goal:
- To provide a mechanism for assets on multiple exchanges to have their volume evaluated together
Edge:
- Having better and more complete volume information
Notes:
- The Default Exchanges for this indicator are highest volume bitcoin exchanges, but may contain "fake volume"
- Indicator is set for Bitcoin by default. However, you can change the tickers to reflect any asset you want
////// rVol //////
Goal:
- To understand how much volume is being executed relative to the same candle on previous days/periods
Edge:
- Higher rVol implies higher volatility and market interest.
- High rVol = higher than average volume . Markets move on volume so higher than average volume indicates increased market activity/volatility
- rVol is an indirect measure of active or anticipated volatility
Definitions:
- rVol: The volume of a period compared to the Average Volume of that same period in past sessions
- Important to note it does NOT add up the last 10 (default) candles, but rather the last 10 candles at session intervals.
- Example:
-- On a Tuesday, 1h chart it will add up the last ten Tuesday, 9:00 am candles, not including the current, active candle.
-- It then averages those lookback candles.
-- It then plots the percentage relationship between the most recent candle and the average of the lookback candles
-- Avg Vol of Lookback candles = 5000,
-- Volume of most recent candle = 4000: Output = rVol = 80:
-- Volume of most recent candle was 80% of the average volume in the 9 am time period of the last ten Tuesdays in the 9 am, 1h period
Notes:
- rVol does not add current candle volume into lookback sum. So, you set lookback to be: (not including the current day)
- rVol is on a switch. So, if you want to see rVol instead of volume, hit the switch in the settings
- If you want to see both, load 2 instances of the indicator.
////// Better-er Volume //////
Goal:
To Identify:
- When a candle closes at the highest volume * range relative to the lookback period and close > open
- When a candle closes at the highest volume * range relative to the lookback period and close < open
- When a candle closes at the highest volume / price relative to the lookback period
Edge:
- Identifies beginnings of price expansion, climax of price expansion, breakouts, pivots, and take profit points on the volume chart
Notes:
- Based generally on Barry Taylor's "Better Volume" indicator and ideas from Pascal Willain's book "Value in Time."
- Better-er Volume rules are applied to both Total Volume or rVol.
-- When rVol is displayed Better-er Volume is applied to rVol
-- When Total Volume is displayed Better-er Volume is applied to Total Volume
// Plot Key: //
Green Triangle Up = Often marks the beginning and/or end of price expansion to the upside
Red Triangle Up = Often marks the beginning and/or end of price expansion to the downside
Yellow Square = High Volume but Tight Range. Implies a Battle of Bulls and Bears. High Liquidity area. Provided Liquidity is not enough to move price. Thick Limit Order Book.
Purple Triangle Up or Down = Implies high market participation. Typically at the end of expansion when very significant s/r is hit

Many More Volume Indicators Coming Out Soon!
Relative Volume RVOL AlertsRelative Volume or RVOL is an indicator used to help determine the amount of volume change over a given period of time.
It is often used to help traders determine how in-play a ticker is.
General rule of thumb is the higher the RVOL, the more in play a stock is.
I myself like to use it as a substitute of the volume indicator itself.
Basic Calculation:
Relative Volume = Current Volume / Average Volume
Crossover Signals:
Any time there is a volume spike which causes a crossover of the user set 'Smoothed Moving Average' or 'Threshold' a green/red dot will appear at the top. The color of the dot is dependent on closing of the candle. Therefore it does not necessarily mean price will continue in that direction since volume spikes often happen in peaks or valleys.
Threshold:
The level at which custom alerts and signal can be set. The higher the value, the more volume required to trigger.
Built in Alerts:
You can set custom alerts for the crossovers of the adjustable threshold, or the average RVOL band.
Relative Volume Combined With a Cumulative FunctionHi everyone
The today's script was suggested by a follower.
--------------------------------------
1 minute of Knowledge
--------------------------------------
Many traders look at volume as a pre-signal that a move may happen.
In trading, some say that "the volume precedes the movement".
This simply means that often volume will increase before a significant move in the stock.
Imagine if a unique trader is buying a crypto/stock. The volume is unlikely to move.
But, if all the mass goes to mass spot buy an asset, then we could see a volume spike announcing a potential upwards move.
---------------------------------------------
What's the story with that indicator?
---------------------------------------------
It's an interesting way of presenting the volume data.
Will show the total volume for the selected period.
You can choose between relative and cumulative presentation.
The users can display the consecutive rising volume above the 0 line and the failing volume below that line.
--------------------------------------
Mix knowledge with usefulness
--------------------------------------
A price making a higher/high (HH) or lower/low (LL) has a real and strong meaning- a HH or LL on a volume has a significant meaning also.
Increasing volume for a stock/crypto, could signify that buyers were willing to purchase a bigger number of shares at a higher price (comparatively to the day before)
Obviously, non-stop crazy buying/shorting won't work at some point - and that "some point" may hurt a bit.
Such volume indicator combined with others like momentum or strength indicators is a nice trading strategy.
The volume announces that a move may happen and the other indicators will confirm the prophecy :)
Peace

RVol & RoC - Relative Volume & Rate of Change by haciyatmazRelative Volume ( RVol ) is a critical measure of volume flows. It measures current volume in relation to the "usual" volume for this time of the day.
Rate of Change ( RoC ) is a momentum-based technical indicator that measures the percentage change in price between the current price and the price a certain number of periods ago.
RVOL - Final on 814 for 3m Candles ONLYRelative Volume for 3 minute charts ONLY.
