This is a derivation of the On Balance Volume Indicator. The idea behind it is that volume consists of two parts. The driving theory is the basic law of supply and demand. Part 1: Volume consists of shares traded at an equilibrium price. An equal number of buyers and sellers are present during this volume. This area is displayed as the upper and lower shadows...
Highlight bars according it's volume releative to near candles. This script usefull for VSA trading. Red bar - extrime high volume Orange bar - volume is high Grayish bar - volume is normal Green bar - volume is low Blue bar - almost no volume
This is a simple indicator you can use to separate volume from price on your chart. You can also select different time frames (MTF). Thanks to LazyBear for cleaning up my previous messy code.
This is a no-volume version of Vervoort's SVAPO. The original version is @ Since it doesn't include volume in its calculations, you can use this on FX. More info on SVAPO: More info: stocata.org stocata.org BTW, this is my 150th script. Plenty more to come, my to-publish queue is still full of new stuff :) For a complete list of my other indicators, do...

A good measure to see how excited the herd is, before chasing a move. Very Useful when trading explosive stocks like, FNMA, PLUG, USU. I use this to filter when not to chase. Once you get familiar with this. You can trade the stocks with just Volume and Price. Also a good filter on how good a breakout is. Further Reading - tinyurl.com (Stockcharts - Chart...
Short-term Volume and Price Oscillator (SVAPO), developed by Sylvian Vervroot, combines both Price and Volume to construct an oscillator. In essence, when the price is trending up and volume is increasing, volume is added into the oscillator calculation. Conversely, when price is trending down and volume is increasing, volume will be subtracted from the...
Elastic Volume Weighted Moving Average (eVWMA) is a statistical measure using the volume to define the period of the moving average. The eVWMA can be looked at as an approximation to the average price paid per share. Multiplier is usually the number of shares, but it can be approximated using cumulative sum of volume (Enable it via "Use Cumulative Volume" option)...

Edgar Kraut proposed this simple colored volume bars strategy for swing trading. This is how the colors are determined: - If today’s closing price and volume are greater than 'n' days ago, color today’s volume bar green. - If today’s closing price is greater than 'n' days ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar blue. - Similarly, if today’s closing...
HawkEye volume, developed by Nigel Hawks, is supposed to be a premier VSA indicator. Documentation on this is scarce (looks like the training seminars/sessions conducted by the parent company cover this in detail), if you come across any (other than what I have mentioned on that chart) do let me know. I am not sure how much this resembles the commercial...
VFI,introduced by Markos Katsanos, is based on the popular On Balance Volume (OBV) but with three very important modifications: * Unlike the OBV, indicator values are no longer meaningless. Positive readings are bullish and negative bearish. * The calculation is based on the day's median (typical price) instead of the closing price. * A volatility threshold...
This is the second part of TFS trading strategy. The concept of this indicator is similar to that of On-Balance Volume indicator (OBV). It is calculated according to these rules: If Close > Open, Volume is positive If Close < Open, Volume is negative If Close = Open, Volume is neutral Then you take the 7-day MA of the results.
The theory behind the indexes is as follows: On days of increasing volume, you can expect prices to increase, and on days of decreasing volume, you can expect prices to decrease. This goes with the idea of the market being in-gear and out-of-gear. Both PVI and NVI work in similar fashions: Both are a running cumulative of values, which...
The Klinger Oscillator (KO) was developed by Stephen J. Klinger. Learning from prior research on volume by such well-known technicians as Joseph Granville, Larry Williams, and Marc Chaikin, Mr. Klinger set out to develop a volume-based indicator to help in both short- and long-term analysis. The KO was developed with two seemingly opposite...
The FVE is a pure volume indicator. Unlike most of the other indicators (except OBV), price change doesn?t come into the equation for the FVE (price is not multiplied by volume), but is only used to determine whether money is flowing in or out of the stock. This is contrary to the current trend in the design of modern money flow indicators....
Relative Volume Indicator ------------------------------ RVI is a support-resistance technical indicator developed by Melvin E. Dickover. Unlike many conventional support and resistance indicators, the Relative Volume Indicator takes into account price-volume behavior in order to detect the supply and demand pools. These pools are marked by "Defended Price...
