Volume Index (0-100)

Volume Index (0-100) Indicator

The Volume Index (0-100) indicator is a powerful tool designed to help traders understand current volume levels in relation to past activity over a specified period. By normalizing volume data to a scale from 0 to 100, this indicator makes it easy to compare today's volume against recent history and gauge the strength of market movements.

Key Features:

Normalized Volume Index: The indicator indexes volume between 0 and 100, allowing traders to easily determine if the current volume is unusually high or low compared to recent trends.

Colored Visualization: The line graph is colored green for positive volume (increasing activity) and red for negative volume (decreasing activity). This helps traders quickly grasp the market sentiment and volume direction.

User-Defined Lookback Period: Traders can customize the lookback period to best fit their trading strategy, providing flexibility for different market conditions.

How Traders Can Use It:

Identifying Volume Extremes: The Volume Index helps identify periods of unusually high or low volume. Values approaching 100 indicate high volume, while values close to 0 indicate low volume.

Confirmation Tool: During price movements, high volume (near 100) can act as a confirmation signal for the strength of the trend. For instance, a high volume during an uptrend may indicate strong buying interest.

Divergence Analysis: Traders can look for divergences between volume and price. For example, if the price is consolidating while the Volume Index remains high, it could signal an impending breakout.

Volume Alerts: The indicator includes an alert feature when the Volume Index exceeds 80, helping traders stay informed about potential shifts in market volatility.
