OBVious MA Strategy [1000X Trader]Exploring OBV: The OBVious MA Strategy
Are you using On Balance Volume (OBV) effectively? OBV is a gift to traders. OBV often provides a leading signal at the outset of a trend, when compression in the markets produces a surge in OBV prior to increased volatility.
This strategy demonstrates one method of utilizing OBV to your advantage. I call it the "OBVious MA Strategy ” only because it is so simple in its mechanics. This is meant to be a demonstration, not a strategy to utilize in live trading, as the primary utility of the OBVious MA indicator is as a volume confirmation filter that complements other components of a strategy. That said, I felt useful to present this indicator in isolation in this strategy to demonstrate the power it holds.
Strategy Features:
• OBV is the core signal: this strategy revolves around the On Balance Volume indicator. OBV is a straightforward indicator: it registers a value by adding total volume traded on up candles, and subtracts total volume on down candles, generating a line by connecting those values. OBV was described in 1963 by Joe Granville in his book "Granville's New Key to Stock Market Profits” in which the author argues that OBV is the most vital key to success as a trader, as volume changes are a major predictor of price changes.
• Dual Moving Averages: here we use separate moving averages for entries and exits. This allows for more granular trade management; for example, one can either extend the length of the exit MA to hold positions longer, or shorten the MA for swifter exits, independently of the entry signals.
Execution: long trades are taken when the OBV line crosses above the Long Entry Moving Average of the OBV. Long exits occur when the OBV line crosses under the Long Exit MA of the OBV. Shorts enter on a cross below the Short Entry MA, and exit on a cross above the Short Exit MA.
• Directional Trading: a direction filter can be set to "long" or "short," but not “both”, given that there is no trend filter in this strategy. When used in a bi-directional strategy with a trend filter, we add “both” to the script as a third option.
Application:
While this strategy outlines entry and exit conditions based on OBV crossovers with designated moving averages, is is, as stated, best used in conjunction with a supporting cast of confirmatory indicators (feel free to drop me a note and tell me how you've used it). It can be used to confirm entries, or you might try using it as a sole exit indicator in a strategy.
Visualization:
The strategy includes conditional plotting of the OBV MAs, which plot based on the selected trading direction. This visualization aids in understanding how OBV interacts with the set moving averages.
Further Discussion:
We all know the importance of volume; this strategy demonstrates one simple yet effective method of incorporating the OBV for volume analysis. The OBV indicator can be used in many ways - for example, we can monitor OBV trend line breaks, look for divergences, or as we do here, watch for breaks of the moving average.
Despite its simplicity, I'm unaware of any previously published cases of this method. The concept of applying MAs or EMAs to volume-based indicators like OBV is not uncommon in technical analysis, so I expect that work like this has been done before. If you know of other similar indicators or strategies, please mention in the comments.
One comparable strategy that uses EMAs of the OBV is QuantNomad’s "On Balance Volume Oscillator Strategy ", which uses a pair of EMAs on a normalized-range OBV-based oscillator. In that strategy, however, entries and exits occur on one EMA crossing the other, which places trades at distinctly different times than crossings of the OBV itself. Both are valid approaches with strength in simplicity.

Volume Candles By Anil ChawraHow Users Can Make Profit Using This Script:
1. Volume Representation : Each candle on the chart represents a specific time period (e.g., 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day) and includes information about both price movement and trading volume during that period.
2. Candlestick Anatomy : A volume candle has the same components as a regular candlestick: the body (which represents the opening and closing prices) and the wicks or shadows (which indicate the highest and lowest prices reached during the period).
3. Volume Bars : Instead of just the candlestick itself, volume candles also include a bar or histogram representing the trading volume during that period. The height or length of the volume bar indicates the amount of trading activity.
4. Interpreting Volume : High volume candles typically indicate increased market interest or activity during that period. This could be due to significant buying or selling pressure.
5. Confirmation : Traders often look for confirmation from other technical indicators or price action to validate the significance of a high volume candle. For example, a high volume candle breaking through a key support or resistance level may signal a strong market move.
6. Trend Strength : Volume candles can provide insights into the strength of a trend. A series of high volume candles in the direction of the trend suggests strong momentum, while decreasing volume may indicate weakening momentum or a potential reversal.
7. Volume Patterns : Traders also analyze volume patterns, such as volume spikes or divergences, to identify potential trading opportunities or reversals.
8. Combination with Price Action: Volume analysis is often used in conjunction with price action analysis and other technical indicators to make more informed trading decisions.
9. Confirmation and Validation: It's important to confirm the significance of volume candles with other indicators or price action signals to avoid false signals.
10. Risk Management : As with any trading strategy, proper risk management is crucial when using volume candles to make trading decisions. Set stop-loss orders and adhere to risk management principles to protect your capital.

1. [Pufferman] - Comprehensive VolumeThis indicator presents a comprehensive approach to volume analysis, incorporating several key metrics to provide traders with a detailed view of market activity. Here's what's included:
1. Cumulative Relative Volume (Intraday): This metric accumulates volume data throughout the day, comparing it to historical session averages up to the current time. It's particularly useful for intraday analysis to determine if the stock is trading high or low volume before the day is over.
2. Real Relative Volume - This feature calculates the relative volume of a stock in comparison to the SPY, offering insight into whether a stock is trading with higher relative volume than the broader market.
3. Configurable Moving Average for Volume: Users can adjust the moving average period for average volume, allowing for flexible adaptation to different trading strategies and time frames. (green line in photo)
4. Above/Below Average Line: This line indicates whether the current volume bar exceeds or falls short of the session's average volume, providing immediate context for volume analysis. (red line in photo).
5. Volume Display in Abbreviations: Actual volume figures are presented in an abbreviated format, using "K" for thousands and "M" for millions, facilitating quick and easy analysis.
6. Color-Coded Relative and Real Relative Volume: Both the Relative Volume (RVOL) and Real Relative Volume (RRVOL) are color-coded to instantly convey volume concentration levels, enhancing visual analysis across multiple charts.
7. Volume Bars with Bullish and Bearish Highlights: Traditional volume bars are color-highlighted according to corresponding candle patterns, aiding in the identification of market sentiment.
Key Points:
The RVOL is a cumulative metric, considering time-of-day volume comparisons for intraday analysis. This approach offers a nuanced understanding of volume patterns specific to the timeframe being viewed.
The RRVOL provides a comparative analysis against the market, offering insights into stock-specific volume activity relative to market trends.
Note: This indicator is designed for intraday analysis and may not function as intended on timeframes above daily due to the cumulative nature of its volume calculations.
VITAMIN: Volume Insight Trend Analyzer - Multilayered INdicator)Meet VITAMIN, an indicator created mainly to function as a confirmation volume indicator to integrate into strategies as a signal filter, but it can also be used as a general-purpose indicator to enhance market analysis through volume trend insights.
The name was choses to help with recall, with VITAMIN short for "Volume Insight Trend Analyzer - Multilayered INdicator".
The indicator is grounded in the net volume calculation, using TradingView's built-in Net Volume indicator as a starting point, and taking as a series of simple Moving Averages based on the Net Volume data.
Core Features:
Multilayered Analysis: VITAMIN layers multiple moving averages on top of net volume—volume adjusted for price movement direction—to filter market noise and reveal clearer volume trends.
Foundation in Net Volume: The starting point is net volume, which combines volume magnitude with the direction of price changes, offering a baseline for momentum analysis.
Visual Trend Indicators: The indicator uses green and red shading between its moving average layers and a reference zero line to visually denote bullish (green) and bearish (red) volume trends, simplifying the interpretation of market sentiment.
Utility of VITAMIN:
Volume plays a crucial role in market analysis, but interpreting volume directly can be complex due to inherent market noise. Net Volume in particular features a great deal of noise, as a sequence of spikes and dips from bar to bar. My purpose with this indicator was to separate the signal from the noise. VITAMIN's multilayered moving averages provide a smoother, more interpretable trend line that distinguishes significant market moves from short-term fluctuations.
Applications:
Confirming Trends: VITAMIN can help validate price trends. A price uptrend paired with a bullish volume trend indicated by VITAMIN may reinforce the strength of the movement.
Identifying Divergences: Observing discrepancies between price trends and VITAMIN's volume trends can highlight potential reversals or continuations.
Assessing Market Sentiment: The overall trend and colour shading within VITAMIN aims to provide insight into market sentiment.
VITAMIN is designed for simplicity and effectiveness, aiming to provide deeper insights into volume trends, supporting more informed decisions.
Like any indicator featuring moving averages, and averages of those averages, there is a built-in lag to this indicator, but this is the trade-off for removing noise from the signal. Adjust the user inputs to suit your time frame.
POC IndicatorThis simplified Point of Control (POC) indicator for TradingView is designed to identify and plot the price level where the highest volume of trading occurred over a specified period. The script works as follows:
Input and Initialization: The user specifies a length for the analysis period. Variables highestVolPrice and highestVol are initialized to track the price with the highest volume and the highest volume encountered, respectively.
Volume Analysis Loop: For each bar in the specified period (up to length bars back from the current bar), the script compares the volume of the current bar (volume ) to highestVol. If the current bar's volume is higher, highestVol and highestVolPrice are updated to reflect the volume and closing price of the current bar.
Plotting the POC: Instead of using a horizontal line (hline), which cannot be dynamically updated within the loop, the script uses plot to draw the POC. This plotting function draws a line on the chart that represents the closing price level associated with the highest volume observed within the analysis period.
Resetting Variables: To ensure the indicator updates correctly with each new bar, the script resets highestVol and highestVolPrice at the start of the analysis for each new period. This step is designed to recalculate the POC dynamically as new data comes in.
This approach offers a basic method for visualizing significant price levels where substantial trading activity occurred, potentially indicating areas of strong support or resistance. However, it's a simplified model and does not calculate the true POC based on a detailed volume profile across all price levels within the period.
Cumulative Delta Volume WaveIntroducing an Enhanced Version of the CDV by LonesomeTheBlue
For the original version and description check this link:
What Makes This Version Different than the original?
This enhanced version of the CDV indicator incorporates advanced signal processing techniques to bring new depth to market analysis.
Standard Deviation Bands and EMAs: These additions to the CDV offer a visual representation of significant market movements—highlighting major pumps and dumps, as well as identifying potential support and resistance levels.
Color-Coded Insights: The standard deviation bands utilize color coding based on signal processing principles. This feature becomes increasingly useful the more you zoom out, making it easier to observe and interpret market waves.
Market Maker Activity: By examining fluctuations within the standard deviation bands, traders can gauge when Market Makers are actively maneuvering to establish their long and short positions, often at the expense of retail traders.
EMA Support and Resistance: The embedded Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) serve as dynamic support and resistance levels. Analyzing these can help traders determine the continuing strength of a market move, whether bullish or bearish.

High Volume AlertThe High Volume Alert Script is developed for all traders focusing on volume analysis in their trading strategies, providing alerts for unusually high trading volumes during specified trading sessions.
Functionality:
Volume Moving Average Calculation:
Average Volume = Moving Average(Volume) = Sum of last the x last candles Volume
Where n is the user-defined period for the moving average calculation (denoted as movingaverageinput in the script. This moving average serves as the baseline to compare current volume levels against historical averages.
High Volume Detection:
HighVolume = CurrentVolume >= (MA(Volume) x HighVolumeRatio)
Here, HighVolumeRatio is a user-defined multiplier that sets the threshold for what is considered high volume. If the current volume exceeds this threshold (the product of the moving average of volume and the HighVolumeRatio ), the script identifies this as a high-volume event.
Session Filtering:
The script further refines these alerts by ensuring they only trigger during the specified trading session, enhancing relevance for traders interested in specific market hours. This session is defined by the sess and timezone parameters.
Visualisation and Alerts:
If high volume is detected (HighVolume = True), the script colors the volume bar with the highVolumeColor . If the option is selected, it also changes the color of the candlestick to either highVolumeCandleColorUp (for bullish candles) or highVolumeCandleColorDown (for bearish candles), depending on the price movement within the high-volume period. An alert is generated through the alertcondition function when high volume is detected during the specified session, notifying the trader of potentially significant market activity.
Application in Trading:
This indicator serves traders who prioritize volume as a leading indicator of potential price movement. High trading volumes may indicate the presence of significant market activity, often associated with events like news releases, market openings, or large trades, which can precede price movements.
Originality and Practicality:
This script is self-developed, aiming to fill the gap in automatic ratio adjusted volume alerts within the TradingView environment.
Conclusion:
The High Volume Alert Script is an essential tool for traders who integrate volume analysis into their strategy, offering tailored alerts and visual cues for high volume periods.
Compliance and Limitations:
The script complies with TradingView scripting standards, ensuring no lookahead bias and maintaining real-time data integrity. However, its utility depends on the availability on volume data, and please be aware that forex pairs never offer real volume data, this tool is best used with a exchange traded symbol.
Relative Volume / Volume Breakout Multiplier By Afnan TajuddinIntroducing the Relative Volume / Volume Breakout Multiplier (RVI) , RVI is specifically designed for traders who incorporate volume breakout analysis into their trading strategies, particularly breakout traders.
This indicator provides a unique perspective on volume dynamics by quantifying the extent of volume breakouts in relation to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). It offers an upgraded version of the default volume indicator on TradingView, with the added feature of Relative Volume.
For example, if the volume SMA is 100M and the current volume is 200M, the indicator will return a breakout number of 2.0, indicating that the current volume is twice that of the volume SMA. Conversely, if the volume SMA is 100M and the current volume is 50M, the indicator will return a value of 0.50, indicating that the current volume is half of the volume SMA.
This tool can be a very helpful for breakout traders, helping them identify potential trading opportunities and assess volume strength more effectively. this indicator is a must-have in the toolkit of any trader who focuses on volume breakout analysis.
Remember, every tool we use, every analysis we perform, is a step towards becoming better traders. So, let’s embrace this journey of continuous learning and improvement together.

Deep Volume [ChartPrime]Deep Volume is an indicator designed to give you high fidelity volume information. It does this by utilizing real time data provided by Tradingview to generate a wide range of metrics. We have included a convenient column chart to visualize the polarity of the volume, and a table to see the real time data. This works by utilizing pine script's varip feature to get information within candles. This is convenient as it allows users to get lower time frame information without the use of ltf functions. The result is seconds level data with out the need to be on a lower time frame chart. As a result, as you increase the time frame of the chart the updates will become slower. This is because Tradingview doesn't update the chart information as frequently on higher time frames as there isn't as much of a need.
This indicator works on real time data so to compensate for this we generate a simulated history based on candle structure. This helps in estimating the state of the moving average before the real time data starts. As a result the estimated history isn't as accurate and should be treated as such. That being said it is nice to have an estimation when the indicator is first loaded onto the chart.
Finally we have included a cumulative volume comparison that shows you how much volume there is compared to the average cumulative volume for the day. This metric utilizes a gradient to help you interpret the information at a glance. Low daily volume is represented with grays by default, while normal volume and greater is represented with a green color by default.
The table is partitioned into two sections; tick data, and average data. On the left you will see color coded information based on the direction of the move. On the left, the information is color coded based on the average movement direction. You can control how much information is displayed in the table within the indicators settings. This is defaulted to 20 but it can be as long or short as you like. Every new candle open the far left of the table you will see a 🗘 symbol and at the start of a new session you will see a 🗓 symbol.
The included metrics are as follows:
Time: This displays the time of the real time data update.
Time Delta: This displays the elapsed time between updates.
Order Size: This is the volume times the price change between updates.
Volume: This is the volume change for the update.
Price Change: This is the change in price since the last update.
Price: This is the price of the asset at the time of the update.
Speed of Tape: This is the average time delta. Use this to see how quickly the market is moving.
Average Order Size: This is the average order size.
Average Volume: This is the average volume
Volume Ratio: This the the ratio of bullish to bearish volume as expressed by a percent. 100% is all bullish within the window and -100% is all bearish within the window.
Average Price Change: This is the average price change within the window.
Sensitivity: This is a volatility metric designed to show you the price change per 1 volume unit.
Relative Sensitivity: This is a volatility metric designed to show you the average price change per average volume.

Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)█ OVERVIEW
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a volume-based trading indicator that provides a visual representation of market buying and selling pressure by calculating the difference in traded volumes between the two sides. It uses intrabar information to obtain more precise volume delta information than methods using only the chart's timeframe.
Volume delta is the net difference between Buy Volume and Sell Volume. Positive volume delta indicates that buy volume is more than sell volume, and opposite. So Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is a running total/cumulation of volume delta values, where positive VD gets added to the sum and negative VD gets subtracted from the sum.
I found simple and fast solution how to calculate CVD, so made plain and concise code, here is CVD function :
cvd(_c, _o, _v) =>
var tcvd = 0.0, delta = 0.0
posV = 0.0, negV = 0.0
totUV = 0.0, totDV = 0.0
switch
_c > _o => posV += _v
_c < _o => negV -= _v
_c > nz(_c ) => posV += _v
_c < nz(_c ) => negV -= _v
nz(posV ) > 0 => posV += _v
nz(negV ) < 0 => negV -= _v
totUV += posV
totDV += negV
delta := totUV + totDV
cvd = tcvd + delta
tcvd += delta
cvd
where _c, _o, _v are close, open and volume of intrabar much lower timeframe.
Indicator uses intrabar information to obtain more precise volume delta information than methods using only the chart's timeframe.
Intrabar precision calculation depends on the chart's timeframe:
CVD is good to use together with open interest, volume and price change.
For example if CVD is rising and price makes good move up in short period and volume is rising and open interest makes good move up in short period and before was flat market it is show big chance to pump.

Open Liquidity Heatmap [BigBeluga]Open Liquidity Heatmap is an indicator designed to display accumulated resting liquidity on the chart.
Unlike any other liquidity heatmap, this aims to accumulate liquidity at specific levels that build up over time, showing larger areas of liquidity.
🔶 FEATURES
The indicator includes the following settings:
Lookback : Used to determine the range calculation of the heatmap.
Leverage : Leverage of the liquidation (Counted as % in price, Example: 4.5 will return a distance from price of 4.5%, indicating any possible resting liquidity in this range).
Levels : Amount of levels to display (Each level is counted as liquidity resting on the chart; fewer levels will return a bigger area of liquidity sitting on the chart).
Mode : Apply a color gradient from the minimum liquidation to the maximum liquidity level. Set the maximum color gradient value (Counted as volume).
Offset : Automatically determine the offset range of the Volume Profiles. Manual offset of the Volume Profiles.
🔶 CALCULATION
for i = 0 to step - 1
float plotter = na
switch i
0 =>
plotter := hs
=>
plotter := hs - diff * ( i )
cls.hm.gnL(plotter)
cls.vp.put(plotter, 0)
We calculate levels like a normal volume profile with steps, from the highest point within the lookback to the lowest one. Each level will contain the corresponding amount of volume that the candle has closed in that range.
As we can see in the image above, we add liquidity each time the distance in % from price is between two levels.
Unlike many liquidity indicators that provide a single candle liquidity heatmap, this aims to add up liquidity (volume) in already present levels.
This can be extremely useful to see which levels are likely to be more liquid and tend to get a bigger reaction to the price.
Imagine it like a range of levels that each time price revisits that area, a new position area is added; we add volume in that area each time price visits that zone. Liquidity builds up in those zones, causing a bigger reaction to the price once the price visits it.
This indicator is not the same as a single candle heatmap like many others. What is a single candle heatmap?
A single candle heatmap is when a level is created on every new candle, coloring the level based on the total volume of it.
This indicator, on the contrary, aims to provide a more specific use by adding up liquidity each time price visits it.
🔶 BASIC DEMOSTRATION
This is a basic demonstration of how we can spot high liquidity points overall using confluence:
We see the POC of the liquidation in a low volume area of the normal volume profile adding up as confluence.
Resistance from the POC Volume Profile suggesting price will go lower.
Major long open liquidity down.
As we can see, price takes out all the long liquidity and right after pumping, indicating that all the major liquidity got taken out.
Some key note to take is that a POC in the liquidation heatmap in a low volume area of the normal Volume Profile add confluence of a possible big reaction in that zone.
In the forex market, we suggest to use a low distance from price (Leverage) while in a crypto market you can use the one that fit the best the current timeframe.
🔶 CONCLUSION
This indicator aims to show open resting liquidity that had built up over time, showing the most amount of liquidation in specific areas in an aggregated way unlike many liquidation heatmap indicators that show single-level liquidation.
🔶 RELATED SCRIPT
Volume inspectorThe "Volume inspector" is designed to provide a deep dive into the volume dynamics within a given larger timeframe by dissecting the positive and negative volume of candles from a lower timeframe. This analysis helps in understanding how the volume within a single candle is composed, whether it leans towards buying or selling pressure. The indicator sums up the positive and negative volumes to present the net volume in columns, offering a clear visual representation of the market's buying or selling intensity at a glance.
Additionally, it features an area between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to gauge the prevailing trend direction. A green spread between the EMAs signals strong buying pressure, with the width of the area indicating the strength of this pressure. Conversely, a red area points to selling pressure, warning users to exercise caution — it advises against buying the asset when the spread is narrow or red, suggesting weak buying momentum or strong selling momentum.
The tool recommends using daily candles as the primary timeframe for a broad market overview, with the following configurations for the lower timeframe analysis:
5 minutes for highly liquid and voluminous assets,
15 or 30 minutes for assets with lower volume to ensure accuracy without excessive market noise.
It's important to note that this indicator does not predict future market movements but rather analyzes the current behavior of the asset, making it a valuable tool for traders looking to understand immediate market sentiment and trend strength.
Volume Flow Oscillator (VFO)I created the Volume Flow Oscillator (VFO) to explore the intricate interplay between volume and price movements over a specific lookback period. This tool contrasts volumes that move in sync with the price against those that move in opposition, signaling potential overbought or oversold territories. To determine the direction, I compare the current price to its value four periods back, shedding light on underlying bullish or bearish momentum. The VFO enriches my analysis and decision-making by offering a detailed perspective on how volume trends correlate with price changes. Its color-coded visuals are crucial for highlighting optimal trading points based on volume dynamics.
Supertrend Volume OscillatorThe Supertrend Volume Oscillator is an innovative tool that integrates volume analysis with the established Supertrend indicator to offer a unique perspective on market conditions. By comparing directional volume against the aggregate volume over a designated lookback period, this oscillator adeptly signals overbought and oversold states through a volume-weighted methodology. Key settings such as the lookback period, Supertrend factor, and ATR period are adjustable, allowing traders to tailor the trend detection sensitivity to their preference.
Crucially, the oscillator delineates overbought and oversold zones via a channel parameter, with its value represented as a percentage ratio of directional to total volume, visually enhanced by a color gradient shifting from red to green based on oscillator readings. Background coloring further highlights market extremes for easy identification. A continuous line tracks the oscillator's value, anchored by a horizontal zero line as a neutral benchmark.
Additionally, the oscillator is equipped with alert conditions that notify traders when entering critical zones, facilitating informed trading decisions. This fusion of price trend analysis with volume metrics provides traders with a comprehensive tool for gauging market sentiment and trend strength, making the Supertrend Volume Oscillator a valuable addition to any trader's arsenal.
SMA Custom Volume BandsThe "SMA Custom Volume Bands" indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed for use on the TradingView platform. This indicator allows users to analyze and visualize key aspects of a stock's volume within the context of its 200-period Simple Moving Average (SMA). It features the following components:
Volume Bars: The indicator displays the volume of a selected financial instrument using colored bars. Green bars represent days when the trading volume is higher than the previous day, while red bars represent days when the trading volume is lower.
200 SMA of Volume: A blue line on the chart represents the 200-period Simple Moving Average of the trading volume, providing insight into the longer-term volume trend.
Customizable Percentage Line: Users have the flexibility to set a custom percentage value above or below the 200 SMA of trading volume. This line is plotted as a blue line on the chart, allowing traders to identify when volume meets their preferred percentage threshold.
The "SMA Custom Volume Bands" indicator is a simple tool for traders, aiding in the assessment of volume trends and potential price reversals in the context of moving averages. It offers customization options, enhancing its adaptability to individual trading strategies and preferences.
Intraday volume pressureThis indicator shows the difference of bullish and bearish trading volume during intraday
The idea
Especially in "6E1!" it caught my eye, that often outside regular trading hours the price moves in one direction with thin volume and inside regular trading hours it moves back with much higher volume. It is possible, that the market closes e.g. with a plus. And over some days maybe you can see e.g. weak rising prices. But in this time the movements with high volume are going down every day. And one day - maybe within view minutes - the market rushs a level deeper.
Maybe some are manipulating the market in this way, maybe not, it doesn't matter. So my question was, can I find a way to show such divergences? I guess I can do.
How to use this indicator
Use it at your own risk! I don't take over any responsibility. You are the only one, who is responsible for your decisions. Always collect information from different independent sources!
Watch it in the daily chart - not intraday, not weekly! Of course this indicator just analyzes the past as all indicators. Everytime everything may happen that influences the market in any direction, no indicator can predict any news.
Watch it in sideways market or when the price is moving quite slow over days! An average volume pressure
below zero shows a volume-driven bearish pressure
above zero shows a volume-driven bullish pressure
of the last days. So there is a chance, that the market may follow the volume pressure within the next days. But of course, I cannot guarantee anything. The indicator just can give you an idea, why this will happen, when it will happens. Otherwise, the indicator indicated nothing helpfull.
Of course you also can try other securities. Maybe it will work there better or worse - difficult to say. I guess, it depends on the market.
Possible settings aside of colors
Intraday minute bars: Default is 15 minutes, in 6E in my point of view it is a good value. If you choose a smaller value, the chart gets too noisy, the results are getting too small. With a bigger timeframe some moves are hidden in bigger candles, the results are getting a large spread
Average over days: Default is 5 days - so one week. In 6E in my point of view it is a good value. A smaller value is too noisy. A bigger value reacts too slow. Often 6E has a trend over weeks. Sometimes it changes within some days - the indicator may help. But sometimes the market changes with a buying or selling climax. Such a case this indicator cannot recognize. But with the 5 days average maybe you get a change in the indicator within one or two days. Anyway, it is always a good idea to learn recognizing climaxes otherwise.
How the indicator works
It uses the function request.security_lower_tf to get the intraday candles. The volume of intraday up-candles is added to the intraday summary volume. The volume of down candles is substracted from the intraday summary volume.
In the oscillator area I plot a green bar on a day with a higher close than open and a red bar on a day with a lower close than open. The bar has a positive value, if the volume pressure is positive and a negative value if the volume pressure is negative. So it happens, that a green bar has a negative value or a red bar has a positive value.
The average is calculated with a floating sum. Once we have enough days calculated, I devide the floating sum by the length of the "Average over days" and plot the result. Then I substract the first value of the queue and I remove it.
Highest Volume Bar from a Lower TimeframeVolume is an essential indicator in technical analysis as it can signal confirmations of movement, reversals, and more. This indicator was developed to identify candles with high volume in both the current timeframe and a lower timeframe
SETTINGS
The indicator has two display modes: Candles and Volume.
- Candles: it presents a traditional candlestick chart that shows the candles of the current timeframe, along with the candle with the highest volume from the lower timeframe.
- Volume: it features a volume chart displaying the volume of the current timeframe in histogram form, as well as the bar with the highest volume from the lower timeframe represented in columns.
LOWER TIME FRAME SETTINGS
- Lower Time Frame: the lower timeframe to be taken into consideration.
- LTF Candle Display: determines which candles from the current timeframe chart will display the candles with the highest volume from the lower timeframe.
- Volume Display: determines how the volume bars will be presented for both the current timeframe and the lower timeframe.
VOLUME LEVEL SETTINGS
- SMA Period: the time period for calculating the volume average.
- High Volume: the multiplier used to classify a candle as having high volume.
- Medium Volume: the multiplier used to classify a candle as having medium volume.
- Low Volume: the multiplier used to classify a candle as having low volume.
- Show Volume MA: enable this option to display the Volume MA on the chart.
COLOR SETTINGS
- Candle Color: the color to be used in the charts.
- Shade Intensity : the intensity of the shades for volume levels.
- Transparency : the transparency to be used for the candles of the current timeframe when displaying candles with higher volume from the lower timeframe.
Cumulative Volume Price (Candle Body, High-Low)Indicator Description: Cumulative Volume Price (Candle Body, High Low)
This indicator features three cumulative plots that continuously accumulate values over time.
Cumulative Volume Plot:
The first plot displays the cumulative volume, calculated by continuously adding the volume values from zero.
Cumulative Candle Body Width Plot:
The second plot displays the cumulative width of the candle bodies, obtained by continuously adding the actual body widths from zero.
Cumulative Candle High-Low Width Plot:
The third plot displays the cumulative width of the candle high-low ranges, calculated by continuously adding the widths between the high and low prices from zero.
Usage Guidelines:
Due to the different orders of magnitude in value range used for volume and candlesticks, it is advisable to typically select and display any single plot.

Dollar Volume Last 20 CandlesThe "Dollar Volume Last 20 Candles" indicator, abbreviated as "DV", is a practical and insightful tool for traders and analysts.
This indicator focuses on enhancing the visualization of trading data by calculating and displaying the dollar volume for each of the last 20 bars on a financial chart. It achieves this by multiplying the closing price of each bar with its trading volume, providing a clear dollar value of the trading activity.
The script also features an intuitive formatting system that simplifies large numbers into 'k' (thousands) and 'M' (millions), making the data easily digestible.
The dollar volume data is displayed directly above each bar, adjusted for visibility using the Average True Range (ATR), ensuring that it is both unobtrusive and readily accessible. This overlay feature integrates seamlessly with the existing chart, offering traders a quick and efficient way to assess monetary trading volume at a glance, which is particularly useful for identifying trends and market strength.
Split VolumeThe Split Volume indicator displays 'Upwards' and 'Downwards' volume with an additional method for distributing 'split' candle volume.
A 'split' candle is a candle whose direction is...'Split'...since the open and close are equal. (Ex. Doji)
Upwards and Downwards Volume is tracked by comparing the Open and Closes of the Lower Timeframes.
If the Close is Greater-than the Open, we track the Volume as 'Upwards' Volume.
If the Close is Less-than the Open, we track the Volume as 'Downwards' Volume.
If the Close and Open are Equal, we assume that the Volume is an even split 50/50, and track it as such.
The indicator pulls data from lower timeframes to achieve more granular Open,Close,& Volume Data
Specifically:
<5m Timeframe: 1 Second LTF
<60m Timeframe: 5 Second LTF
<1D Timeframe: 1 Minute LTF
>1D Timeframe: 60m LTF
We have also included some nice-to-have features
50% Volume Line: This line splits each columns in half, this is used as quick reference to see exactly which side the volume is on.
High Volume Candle Identification: We are detecting bars with high relative volume and coloring them on the upper chart for use as important zones.
Status Line Readouts: The Status line for this indicator is formatted for simple reading. It Reads(Left-to-Right):Total Volume, Downwards Volume, 50% Value, Upwards Volume
Saty Volume StackBreaks volume into buy and sell volume and stacks them based on which side has higher volume.
Dynamic Buy / Sell Stack
Unlike other buy/sell volume indicators, which statically display this information (typically green over red), this indicator dynamically stacks the higher volume side on top. For example, green over red indicates more buy-side volume, red over green indicators more sell-side volume.
Current Candle Volume Buy/Sell %
A label shows the % buy vs sell volume for the current candle in real-time. This label is also dynamic with the left position being higher volume.
How the Buy/Sell Volume is Calculated
Buy/Sell % is calculated based on price.
Buy % is calculated using the distance between the low of the candle to the closing value of the candle and dividing that by the total range of the candle high to low.
Sell % is calculated using the distance between the high of the candle to the closing value of the candle and dividing that by the total range of the candle high to low.
Please note this is a proxy metric and while it is incredibly useful, it is not going to match up exactly with actual buy/sell volume that can be found on tape.
