Volume Scope Pro - Order Flow Volume Analysis V1.01Volume Scope Pro — Order Flow Volume Analysis
Overview
Volume Scope Pro is a multi-faceted volume analysis indicator that separates volume into buy (up) and sell (down) components to reveal hidden order flow dynamics. It aggregates lower timeframe volume data to estimate buying vs. selling pressure on each bar, calculates the volume delta (buy volume minus sell volume) per bar, and highlights where price action diverges or converges with volume flow. The indicator provides visual output in the form of an on-chart table and chart markers, helping traders identify potential distribution (selling into strength) and absorption (buying into weakness) events, as well as support/resistance zones derived from volume extremes.
Volume Settings
• Global Volume Period – An integer (default 100) defining the shared lookback window (in bars) for all volume-based calculations. This period is used for identifying volume extrema and computing cumulative volume statistics. A larger period considers more history for averages and sums, while a smaller period focuses on recent bars.
• Use Custom Lower Timeframe – A boolean (default true) that lets you override the automatic choice of lower timeframe for volume breakdown. If enabled, the indicator will use the specific lower timeframe you provide (see next setting) to fetch intrabar volume data. If disabled, the script chooses a lower timeframe based on the chart’s resolution (for example, 1-second for second charts, 1-minute for other intraday charts, 5-minute for daily charts, etc.).
• Lower Timeframe – A timeframe input (default 15S, i.e. 15-second intervals) specifying the lower interval to request for up/down volume calculation. This is the resolution at which the script breaks each chart bar’s volume into buying vs. selling volume. Fifteen seconds is the default as it provides a fine-grained intrabar look on most charts. This setting only takes effect if Use Custom Lower Timeframe is true; otherwise, it is ignored in favor of the automatic timeframe resolution.
Table Display Settings
• A dropdown option that adjusts the text size used in the on-chart data table (Tiny, Small, Normal, Large, Huge; default: Tiny). The default Tiny setting is selected because many traders use the indicator on mobile devices where screen space is limited. If you are using a larger display such as a laptop, desktop, or tablet, you may increase the font size to your preference for improved readability.
• Table Font Color – A color picker for the table text (default is a shade of blue, #0068e6). All text in the table will be rendered in this color. You can change it to improve contrast against your chart background or personal preference.
• Time Offset (hours) – An integer offset in hours (default 3) applied to the current time display in the table. This shifts the real-time clock readout from UTC by the specified number of hours in the table’s header. For example, setting 0 uses UTC, while a value of 3 (default) shows local time for UTC+3. Negative values are allowed for time zones behind UTC. This does not affect any calculations – it only adjusts the displayed clock for user convenience.
Trend Line & Pivot Settings
• Pivot Left and Pivot Right – Integers (default 5 each) controlling the sensitivity of pivot high/low detection. A pivot high is identified when the price high of a bar is greater than the highs of the Pivot Left bars to its left and Pivot Right bars to its right. Similarly, a pivot low is a bar whose low is lower than the lows of the surrounding bars on its left and right as defined by these values. Smaller values make the pivots more local and frequent, while larger values require more significant swings.
• Pivot Count – An integer (default 5) specifying the number of recent pivot points to track. The indicator will remember up to this many pivot highs and pivot lows each, and use them for drawing trend lines. When the count is exceeded, the oldest pivot points are dropped to focus on the most recent ones.
• Lookback Length – An integer (default 100) defining the number of bars over which trend lines are extended and within which pivot points are considered relevant. Essentially, this is the length of the window (in bars) in which the detected pivots and their connecting trend lines will be shown. Trend lines will start at the beginning of this lookback window and end at the latest bar, updating as new bars form.
• High Trend Line Color / Low Trend Line Color – Color inputs for the drawn trend lines connecting pivot highs and pivot lows, respectively (both default to orange #ff7b00). High trend lines typically slope downwards (connecting recent highs), and low trend lines slope upwards (connecting recent lows). You can change these colors to visually distinguish the two or to fit your chart theme.
• Trend Line Thickness – An integer (default 2) setting the stroke width of the pivot trend lines. Higher values make the lines thicker and more prominent.
• Trend Line Style – A string option (default dashed, options: solid, dashed, dotted) determining the line style for both high and low trend lines. For example, choosing “dotted” will draw the trend lines as a series of dots. This purely affects the appearance and has no impact on calculations.
Support/Resistance (S/R) Zone Settings
• SR Lookback Length – An integer (default 100) that defines how many completed bars are scanned for support/resistance zone detection based on volume extrema. The indicator examines this many bars behind the latest bar (the current bar is excluded to avoid repaint issues) to find extreme buying and selling volume points that form the zones. A larger value means a longer historical window for finding significant volume-based zones.
• Projection Bars – An integer (default 26, range 0–200) specifying how far into the future to extend the S/R zone lines. When set above 0, the horizontal lines marking the zones will project to the right of the latest bar by the given number of bars. This helps anticipate where the zones lie ahead of current price. A value of 0 confines the zone markings to past bars only.
• Resistance Zone Color / Support Zone Color – Color inputs for the drawn zones identified as resistance and support (defaults are red for resistance and teal for support). These colors apply to both the zone’s border lines and its background fill (with adjustable transparency, see below).
• Resistance Line Width / Support Line Width – Integers (default 2 each, range 1–5) setting the line thickness for the top and bottom boundaries of the resistance zone and support zone, respectively. For example, if Resistance Line Width is 3, the drawn lines at the top and bottom of the resistance zone will be thicker than the default.
• Resistance Fill Transparency / Support Fill Transparency – Integers in percentage (default 90 each, range 0–100) controlling the opacity of the colored shading that fills the zone area. 0% means fully opaque (solid color fill), and 100% means fully transparent (no fill color). The default of 90% is very transparent, just lightly coloring the zone area for subtlety. Adjust these to highlight the zones more prominently or to make them nearly invisible, depending on preference.
Overbought/Oversold (OB/OS) Voting Settings
• Enable OB/OS Voting – A boolean (default true) that turns on the overbought/oversold “voting” module. When enabled, the indicator evaluates standard technical indicators (RSI, Stochastic, CCI, etc.) to determine if the market is overbought (OB) or oversold (OS). Each indicator contributes an OB or OS “vote” based on its classic threshold (for example, RSI > 70 is an OB vote, RSI < 30 is OS). The module aggregates these votes to identify consensus extreme conditions.
• Enable Volume Confirmation Filter – A boolean (default true) that requires volume confirmation for OB/OS signals. If enabled, an overbought condition will only be confirmed if there is unusually high sell volume at the same time, and an oversold condition will only confirm with unusually high buy volume. In practice, this means even if indicators vote OB/OS, the script will only mark it as confirmed when volume is spiking in the opposite direction of price (signaling distribution for OB or absorption for OS). This filter helps ensure that OB/OS signals align with significant volume imbalance, indicating potential involvement of larger market participants.
• Enable Dynamic ATR Threshold – A boolean (default true) that adjusts the overbought/oversold trigger threshold dynamically based on volatility (ATR). When true, the voting threshold or confirmation conditions may be eased or tightened depending on recent volatility, as measured by the Average True Range. In higher volatility environments, this can prevent premature OB/OS signals by requiring more extreme indicator readings.
• Enable OB/OS Sync Window – A boolean (default true) that allows an OB or OS condition to remain valid for a short window of bars. If enabled, once an OB or OS state is triggered, it can persist for a user-defined number of bars (see Bars for Hit Sync Window) even if not all indicators remain in agreement every single bar. This helps to capture a cluster of OB/OS signals as one event rather than flickering on and off.
• Volume Average Period – An integer (default 3) specifying how many recent bars of volume to average when determining “unusually high” volume for confirmation. The script calculates the average buy volume and sell volume over this many bars; then the Volume Spike Ratio inputs (below) are applied to decide if current volume is significantly above average. For example, with a period of 3, the buy/sell volume of the last 3 bars are averaged to use as a baseline.
• Minimum Vote Count for OB/OS – An integer (default 3) setting the minimum number of indicators that must agree on overbought or oversold to consider it a valid signal. If fewer than this number signal OB (or OS) at the same time, the condition is ignored. A higher threshold makes the OB/OS signal rarer but more robust (requiring broader agreement among indicators).
• Bars for Hit Sync Window – An integer (default 1) controlling the size of the synchronization window (mentioned above) in bars. If an OB/OS condition is identified, it remains “active” for this many subsequent bars, allowing slightly delayed volume confirmation or indicator agreement to still count as part of the same event. For example, with a value of 2, if an OB signal occurs on one bar and the volume spike confirmation happens on the next bar, the module will treat it as a continuous event and still flag it.
• ATR Adjustment Factor – A float (default 14, step 1.0) used when Dynamic ATR Threshold is enabled. This factor influences how much ATR-based volatility adjustment is applied to the OB/OS vote threshold or confirmation criteria. A larger number might increase tolerance in volatile conditions. (Note: 14 here likely corresponds to an ATR period internally, not a direct multiplier of ATR value. It effectively adjusts sensitivity but does not need frequent change.)
• Overbought: Sell Volume Spike Ratio – A float (default 1.5) that sets the multiple of average sell volume required to confirm an Overbought condition. If the current sell volume is at least this factor times the recent average sell volume (over the Volume Average Period), and indicators are signaling OB, then an Overbought state is confirmed. For instance, the default 1.5 means sell volume must be 150% or more of its average to validate an OB signal. This ensures that an overbought label is only shown when there’s evidence of heavy selling (distribution) accompanying the price being overbought.
• Oversold: Buy Volume Spike Ratio – A float (default 2.0) setting the multiple of average buy volume required to confirm an Oversold condition. With the default 2.0, the current buy volume needs to be at least 200% of its recent average for an OS signal to confirm. This indicates strong buying interest (absorption) when price is in an oversold state. Typically, oversold conditions with significant buy volume could precede upward reversals.
• Source – A price source input (default close) for OB/OS calculations. This is the series value passed into the 20 indicator calculations (RSI, Stoch, etc.). By default it uses closing price, but advanced users can change it (for example, to an HLC3 or other composite) if desired. Generally, leaving it as close is standard.
Indicator Calculations and Logic
Volume Data Aggregation and Delta Calculation
At the core of Volume Scope Pro is the separation of total volume into up-volume (buying) and down-volume (selling) on each bar. This is achieved by requesting lower timeframe data using TradingView’s built-in requestUpAndDownVolume() function. Specifically, for each chart bar, the script gathers volume from a lower timeframe interval (e.g., 15-second bars) that fits within the higher timeframe bar. It sums the volume of all lower-TF sub-bars where price moved up (buy volume) vs. down (sell volume), providing an estimate of how much of the volume was transacted at the ask (buys) versus at the bid (sells). The resulting values are stored as upVolume and downVolume for the current bar, and the volume delta is computed as deltaVolume = upVolume – downVolume. By default, the script ensures upVolume and downVolume are treated as absolute magnitudes, while deltaVolume can be positive or negative indicating net buy or sell dominance.
If Use Custom Lower Timeframe is disabled, the indicator automatically chooses an appropriate lower timeframe based on the chart’s resolution. This adaptive logic uses 1-second intervals for charts in seconds, 1-minute for intraday minutes, 5-minute for daily charts, and 60-minute for anything higher, ensuring that up/down volume can be computed across various chart periods. If even finer resolution is needed or the user prefers a specific timeframe (e.g., 15S), enabling the custom option allows that override.
Coverage:
Because not all historical bars will have lower timeframe data available (especially if looking far back or on certain assets/timeframes), the script tracks how many bars actually received a valid up/down volume calculation. Each bar with non-na deltaVolume is counted toward a coverage total . This coverage count is displayed in the table (as “Coverage: X Bars”) to inform the user how many bars in the dataset had full volume breakdown data. It also serves a technical purpose: certain moving averages or calculations are “gated” to only output values when enough data points exist. For example, a 20-bar average of buy volume will not be shown until at least 20 bars with volume data are present; until then it returns NA to avoid misleading results. This gating mechanism is implemented via helper functions that check coverage before computing moving averages or sums. In practice, if you apply the indicator to a fresh chart or after changing the lower timeframe setting, you may see “NA” placeholders for some values until sufficient bars accumulate.
Volume Averages and Recent Change Indicators
For both buy and sell volume, the script computes short-term and medium-term averages to contextualize the current bar’s activity. Specifically, it calculates a 3-bar simple moving average and a 20-bar simple moving average of upVolume and downVolume (these lengths are fixed and chosen to represent a fast vs. slow window). These averages are shown in the table to compare against the current volume:
• The “Buy Current Amount” is the current bar’s buy volume, shown in an engineered format (e.g., 1.25K for 1,250) for readability. Directly below it (in the same cell via a newline) is “Avg : (3 | 20)”, which lists the 3-bar average buy volume and 20-bar average buy volume. Each average value is followed by an arrow marker:
an upward arrow 🔼 means the current buy volume is higher than that average, whereas a downward arrow 🔻 means the current buy volume is lower than that average. These markers give a quick visual cue – for instance, a 🔼 next to the (3) average indicates a volume spike in the very short term (current bar’s buy volume exceeds the recent 3-bar norm). If not enough data exists to compute an average, “NA” is displayed with the window in parentheses (e.g., “NA (20)” if fewer than 20 bars of coverage). The same format is used for Sell volume, where “Sell Current Amount” is the current bar’s sell volume with its own 3-bar and 20-bar averages and markers.
In addition to the short/medium term averages, the script also computes a “global” average buy volume and sell volume over the full Global Volume Period (using a slightly different approach). It first finds the proportion of buy vs sell over that window (summing all upVolume and downVolume over L = Global Volume Period bars) and then multiplies that ratio by the average total volume on the chart timeframe. This yields an implied average buy volume and sell volume for the global window (taking into account that the chart’s own volume may differ from summed LTF volume due to how the LTF data is sampled). These global averages are used internally (for example, in the OB/OS volume filter logic) but are not explicitly printed in the table. Instead, the table provides a more direct insight: the Positive Δ Sum and Negative Δ Sum (explained later) show accumulated buying vs selling pressure over the lookback period.
Price and Volume Trend Convergence/Divergence
Volume Scope Pro analyzes the short-term and medium-term trends of price and volume to identify convergence or divergence between price movement and buy/sell activity. This is done by calculating the angle of linear regression (slope in degrees) for price and for volume over the same two windows (3 bars and 20 bars). In essence, it fits a line through the last 3 closes and measures its angle, and similarly fits lines through the last 3 buy-volume values, last 3 sell-volume values, and repeats for 20 bars. The angles for price vs. volume are then compared:
• For the buy side, the indicator computes the price angle (θ) over 3 bars and 20 bars, and the buy-volume angle over 3 and 20 bars. These are displayed in the table under a “Buy Volume Trend” row. For example, it might show: “Price θ: 12.5° (3) | 5.0° (20)” on one line and “BuyVol θ: 8.0° (3) | 2.0° (20)” on the next. Each angle is given in degrees (θ symbol) with one decimal precision. A positive angle means an uptrend (price or volume increasing), and a negative angle means a downtrend over that window.
• After listing the angles, a convergence/divergence label is shown for each window: either Convergent or Divergent for the 3-bar window and similarly for the 20-bar window. This indicates whether price and buy volume are moving in the same direction (convergent) or opposite directions (divergent). For instance, if price’s 3-bar trend is up (positive slope) but buy-volume’s 3-bar trend is down (negative slope), that would be Divergent (3), signaling a short-term anomaly (price rising on falling buy volume). Conversely, if both price and buy volume are rising together over 20 bars, that shows Convergent (20), indicating buy volume is supporting the uptrend. These convergence/divergence labels help identify potential early warning signs: divergence may precede a reversal or indicate that an observed price move lacks volume support.
The same analysis is done for the sell side. The table’s “Sell Volume Trend” row lists “Price θ: ... | ...” and “SellVol θ: ... | ...” for 3 and 20 bars , followed by labels showing whether price vs. sell volume trends are convergent or divergent over those periods. For example, if price is trending down (negative angle) while sell volume is also trending down, they are Convergent (both indicating selling pressure in line with price drop). If price is falling but sell volume trend is up, that’s Divergent – price decrease accompanied by increasing sell volume could indicate aggressive selling (potential capitulation or acceleration of downtrend). On the other hand, price falling with decreasing sell volume might suggest selling is drying up (potential for a bottom). These nuances can be gleaned from the convergence/divergence outputs.
All angle calculations use a normalized linear regression slope converted to degrees for easy interpretation. The use of a short (3) and longer (20) window provides a quick glance at immediate vs. recent trend alignment. In the table, the angles and convergence labels are organized in two lines for buy and two lines for sell to clearly separate the information.
Volume Delta and Cumulative Delta Sums
The Volume Delta (Δ) for the current bar is a key metric showing the net difference between buy and sell volume. In the table, it appears as a single-line entry like “Delta: 5.2K” (for example) in the volume delta row. The value is formatted with K/M/B suffix if large, and it is colored green if positive (indicating net buying pressure) or red if negative (net selling pressure), with a neutral color if essentially zero. This coloring provides instant visual feedback: a green Delta means buyers dominated that bar, whereas a red Delta means sellers dominated. The delta number itself helps gauge the magnitude of that dominance. For instance, “Delta: 1.5M” in green would signify a very large imbalance of buying volume on that bar. This row gives a per-bar order flow insight complementing the price action of the candle.
To assess the broader context, the indicator also computes cumulative delta sums over the Global Volume Period. It separately accumulates all positive delta values and all negative delta values within the lookback window (e.g., 100 bars). The results are shown in the table as two lines: Positive Δ Sum and Negative Δ Sum, each followed by a number. These represent the total volume imbalance accumulated in each direction over the window. For example, a Positive Δ Sum of 20K means that, summing all bars in the window where buy > sell volume, buyers were ahead by a total of 20,000 volume (volume units) in that period. Similarly, a Negative Δ Sum of 15K would mean sellers were ahead by 15,000 volume in other bars. These sums give a sense of who is in control over the recent horizon: if Positive Δ Sum greatly exceeds Negative Δ Sum, the market has seen net accumulation (buying) in the lookback; if the reverse, net distribution (selling). The values are shown in a neutral text color (since they are not inherently “good” or “bad”) and are formatted with K/M suffixes as needed. They can help confirm trends or identify subtle shifts – for instance, if price is flat but Positive Δ Sum is growing rapidly, it might indicate stealth accumulation even without price movement.
Support/Resistance Zone Detection from Volume Extremes
Volume Scope Pro identifies key support and resistance areas by analyzing how volume behaved in recent price movements. Zones are derived from points where buying or selling activity became unusually strong or unusually weak—areas that often act as reaction levels in future price action.
A high-activity region is highlighted as a Resistance Zone, showing where strong participation previously slowed upward movement.
A low-activity region forms a Support Zone, indicating price levels where the market tended to stabilize or absorb pressure.
These zones are displayed as horizontal regions projected forward on the chart, with customizable colors and styling. Their upper and lower boundaries are shown in the on-chart table, where the indicator also notes whether each zone currently acts as support or resistance based on price position.
🟥 Resistance Zone based on
Buy/Sell Amount: 1.2345 ~ 1.2500
This indicates a resistance zone between roughly 1.2345 and 1.2500 (the bottom and top of that zone). “Buy/Sell Amount” here refers to the fact that this zone was computed from extreme buy/sell volume events, and the values are the zone’s price range. Likewise, a support zone line would be prefixed with 🟩 and show its range. These zones give a unique volume-based perspective on support and resistance, complementing traditional price-based levels.
Pivot-Based Trend Lines
The indicator draws adaptive trendlines by tracking recent swing highs and swing lows. Whenever the market forms meaningful pivots, the tool connects these points to outline the active upward and downward trend structure. A line drawn through recent highs generally acts as a dynamic resistance guide, while a line drawn through lows often behaves as a rising support boundary.
As market structure evolves, the trendlines update automatically, keeping the analysis aligned with the most recent swings. The color, thickness, and style of these lines are fully customizable. At any moment, you may see one line tracking the upper structure and one line tracking the lower structure, helping identify potential breakout areas or trend-channel behavior without manual drawing.
Overbought/Oversold Voting and Volume Signals
Volume Scope Pro includes an Overbought/Oversold engine that evaluates market exhaustion by combining technical momentum signals with real volume behavior. Instead of relying on a single indicator, the system draws from a broad set of classical oscillators, creating a multi-layer confirmation approach.
The tool aggregates signals from a group of well-known indicators and identifies when several of them simultaneously reach extreme levels. When enough of these indicators align, the condition is considered overbought or oversold. To refine these readings, an optional volume filter checks whether buying or selling pressure is unusually strong at the same time.
• Overbought (OB) is highlighted only when technical exhaustion coincides with elevated sell volume.
• Oversold (OS) appears when oversold readings align with strong buy volume.
When confirmed, the indicator places clear visual markers on the chart:
• OB – potential topping conditions supported by heavy selling.
• OS – potential bottoming conditions supported by strong buying.
• Distribution (↑P ↑S) – price rising while selling pressure increases.
• Absorption (↓P ↑B) – price falling while buyers absorb the move.
• Combined signals (OB+DIST or OS+ABS) highlight the strongest forms of exhaustion.
These markings help traders quickly recognize areas where momentum is fading and volume behavior becomes important. While they do not predict exact turning points, they often appear during phases where the market prepares for a shift, consolidation, or slowing trend.
Usage Notes and Interpretation
Volume Scope Pro provides a detailed view into the internal dynamics of market volume, which can greatly aid analysis when used appropriately. Here are some important considerations and best practices:
• Data Availability (Coverage): The accuracy and utility of this indicator depend on the availability of lower timeframe data for the instrument. On very high timeframe charts (weekly/monthly) or illiquid symbols, the automatic lower timeframe (like 1 minute or 5 minutes) might not retrieve full historical intrabar data, resulting in limited coverage. This is indicated in the “Coverage: X Bars” readout. If coverage is low, many of the volume-based values (especially 20-bar averages or global sums) may show “NA” or be unrepresentative until more data accumulates. It’s often best to use this indicator on active symbols and reasonable timeframes (e.g., 1h, 4h, 1D with a few months of data or lower) to ensure plenty of sub-bar data is available. If needed, you can reduce the Global Volume Period to focus on a smaller window that has full coverage, or experiment with a different Lower Timeframe that might have more data available (for example, using 1min instead of 15s on very long histories).
• Interpreting Volume Delta and Trends: A key value to watch is the Delta (Δ) and how it changes. For instance, if price is making new highs but Δ is decreasing or negative, it indicates bearish divergence – fewer buyers are supporting the move, or sellers might be increasingly active (distribution). Conversely, price making new lows while Δ becomes less negative or turns positive is a bullish divergence, implying sellers are exhausting and buyers are stepping in (absorption). The convergence/divergence rows quantitatively highlight these situations. Use them as alerts to investigate further rather than automatic trade signals. For example, a divergent 20-bar trend (price up, buy volume down) doesn’t mean price will immediately reverse, but it does warrant caution as the rally may be on weak footing.
• Support/Resistance Zones: The volume-derived S/R zones offer levels that might not be obvious from price alone. They often pinpoint areas where the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers was most extreme (resistance zone) or where the market had a lull in volume (support zone). Treat these zones as you would conventional support/resistance: price may react when revisiting them. A common use is to watch how price behaves upon approaching a highlighted zone – for instance, if price rallies into a red resistance zone and you see volume delta start to flip negative, it could strengthen the case that the zone is indeed acting as resistance due to renewed selling. The zones update once a new volume extreme enters or exits the lookback window, so they are relatively static during most recent price action, shifting only when a significantly larger volume spike happens or the oldest bar in the window moves out. They are also non-repainting for completed bars (the algorithm excludes the current bar for zone calculation to avoid repaint issues). Keep in mind these zones are horizontal areas; they do not guarantee a reversal, but they mark where supply or demand was notably strong in the past, which is useful context.
• Trend Lines and Pivots: The automatic trend lines drawn from pivot highs and lows can help visualize short-term price channels or triangles. They update in real-time as new pivots form. Use them as guidance for potential breakout or breakdown levels – e.g., if price breaks above a descending high line, that could indicate a bullish breakout from the recent down trend. The pivot detection sensitivity (Pivot Left/Right) can be tuned: higher values will only draw lines across more significant swings, whereas lower values will catch minor swings too. Adjust according to the volatility of the asset (more volatile assets might need larger pivot settings to filter noise). The trend lines are an auxiliary feature in this volume tool, meant to save time drawing those lines manually for recent swings. They work best when recent pivots are clear; in choppy conditions with many equal highs/lows, you might see the lines adjust frequently.
• OB/OS Voting Signals: The overbought/oversold markers (OB, OS, distribution, absorption) are perhaps the most actionable signals from this script, but they should not be used in isolation. They effectively combine momentum and volume analysis. A prudent approach is to confirm these signals with price action or other analysis:
• An “OB” (Overbought) marker suggests a probable short opportunity or at least to be cautious with longs. When you see OB, check if it aligns with other factors: Is price at a known resistance or a volume zone? Is there a bearish candlestick pattern? Multiple OB signals in a cluster (with or without “DIST”) could indicate a topping process – you might wait for price to start rolling over before acting.
• An “OS” (Oversold) marker points to a potential long opportunity or caution with shorts. Look for confluence such as the price being at a support zone, a bullish divergence in delta, or a reversal candle. Sometimes one OS by itself might just lead to a small bounce in an ongoing downtrend, but a series of OS/ABS signals could mark a accumulation phase.
• Distribution (↑P↑S) and Absorption (↓P↑B) markers can appear even without full OB/OS votes. These warn of stealthy behavior: e.g., Distribution triangles showing up during a steady uptrend might precede larger profit-taking drops. Absorption triangles in a downtrend might precede a relief rally. They are early warnings – pay attention if they start to cluster or coincide with known S/R levels.
• The combined labels OB+DIST and OS+ABS are stronger alerts since they mean both the indicators and volume are screaming extreme. These are relatively rarer; when they appear, the likelihood of at least a short-term reversal is higher. Still, disciplined risk management is essential as markets can remain overbought/oversold longer than expected.
• No Guarantees & Context: It’s important to emphasize that none of these outputs guarantee a price will move in a certain direction. They highlight conditions that historically often precede moves. Volume Scope Pro should be used as an informational tool to augment your analysis. For example, you might use it to confirm a breakout (volume delta turning strongly positive on a price break) or to spot divergence (price making a new high but Δ Sum not increasing). Always consider the broader context: trend direction, higher timeframe signals, fundamental news, etc. A bullish signal in a strong downtrend may only yield a minor correction, and a bearish signal in a roaring uptrend might just be a pause.
• Avoiding Over-Optimization: The indicator comes with many inputs. It might be tempting to tweak them frequently, but it’s recommended to start with defaults and adjust only if you understand the effect. For instance, if you increase Minimum Vote Count for OB/OS, you’ll get fewer but more conservative signals – you might miss early warnings. Changing Volume Spike Ratios alters how sensitive the volume filter is – lower ratios give more signals (even on modest volume rises) but risk false alarms. Use these settings to tailor the indicator to the asset or timeframe (e.g., a very high-volume asset might justify a higher spike ratio). The defaults have been chosen to suit a wide range of scenarios reasonably well.
• Performance and Chart Load: Volume Scope Pro does heavy processing by requesting a lower timeframe and calculating many values. On some platforms, loading this indicator might be slightly slower or consume more memory. It’s invite-only and not open-source, which means the calculations happen behind the scenes. If you experience any slowness, you can try using a less granular lower timeframe (e.g., 1min instead of 15s) or reduce the Global Volume Period to lighten the load. Generally it runs efficiently, but be mindful if stacking it with many other complex indicators.
In summary, Volume Scope Pro provides a set of volume-centric insights: from basic buy/sell volume split and delta, to trend alignment, to volume-profile S/R levels, to multi-indicator OB/OS warnings with volume validation. It adheres strictly to providing factual, data-driven information with no predictive guarantees. Traders can utilize this tool to observe where large buyers or sellers might be operating (“smart money”), detect when volume behavior contradicts price (a sign of potential reversals), and identify hidden support and resistance zones. All these pieces of information, when combined with sound strategy and risk management, can improve decision-making. Always remember to use this indicator as one part of a comprehensive analysis.

VWAP Wave System ToolkitGENERAL OVERVIEW:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit is an all-in-one trading indicator based on rules from Auction Market Theory. The indicator is built around Volume-Weighted Average Prices (VWAP), Initial Balance (IB) levels, session/composite volume profiles, low-volume zones, optional candle coloring, trade checklists, dashboard readings, and a watermark.
This indicator was developed by Flux Charts in collaboration with Chris Drysdale (Trader Drysdale), author of the best-selling book VWAP Wave System.
What’s the purpose of this indicator?
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit helps traders see where market value is forming, shifting, or being rejected across different timeframes. It’s built on the ideas of Auction Market Theory, which views the market as a continuous auction between buyers and sellers searching for fair value. The indicator combines VWAPs, Initial Balance levels, and volume profiles into one system that shows how price interacts with value throughout the day, week, and month. By combining short-term and higher-timeframe data, it helps traders understand when the market is balanced and when it’s starting to discover new price areas.
What’s the theory behind this indicator?
This indicator is built on Auction Market Theory, introduced by J. Peter Steidlmayer. The theory says that markets operate as continuous auctions, constantly seeking a fair price where buyers and sellers agree on value. When price stays within a narrow range and volume builds up, the market is balanced around a value area. When price moves away from that area, the market enters price discovery, searching for a new zone of balance. VWAPs represent an evolving measure of value, while Volume Profiles and Initial Balance visualize how the auction developed during each session. Low Volume Zones often show where the market moved too quickly to trade efficiently, making them potential areas of interest for future reactions. By combining these elements, the indicator provides a picture of how the market is auctioning and where value may shift next.

Watermark
Initial Balance Levels:
🔹What is the Initial Balance?
The Initial Balance (IB) is defined by the high and low prices that form within a specific time window. Typically, this time window is the first hour after the regular day trading session starts (09:30 - 10:30 AM EST).
The high and low formed during this window create the foundation for the day’s price structure. From these two points, the indicator automatically calculates several key reference levels that show how far price has extended beyond the initial range or where it may still be balanced. Understanding how these levels are derived and how to interpret them is essential to using the Initial Balance effectively.
🔹How Initial Balance Levels are calculated:
Once the IB window closes, the indicator plots a full set of reference levels derived from the IB range. These levels are:
IB High
IB Low
IB Midpoint
x2 High / x2 Low
x2 Midpoints (x1.5 High/Low)
x3 High / x3 Low
x3 Midpoints (x2.5 High/Low)
🔹IB High & IB Low
The IB High is the highest price reached during the IB session window, and the IB Low is the lowest price reached.
🔹IB Midpoint
The IB Midpoint is the average of the IB High and IB Low.
🔹x2 High & x2 Low
The x2 levels are calculated by projecting one full IB Range above and below the Initial Balance. The IB Range is the distance between the IB High and IB Low.
🔹x2 High Midpoint & x2 Low Midpoint
The x2 High Midpoint (x1.5 High) is the average of the IB High and x2 High. The x2 Low Midpoint (x1.5 Low) is the average of the IB Low and x2 Low.
🔹x3 High & x3 Low
The x3 High/Low levels are calculated by projecting two full IB Range above and below the Initial Balance.
🔹x3 High Midpoint & x3 Low Midpoint
The x3 High Midpoint (x2.5 High) is the average of the x2 High and x3 High. The x3 Low Midpoint (x2.5 Low) is the average of the x2 Low and x3 Low.
🔹Breaks & Retests:
For every Initial Balance level, the indicator automatically tracks when price retests or breaks through them.
A Break occurs when a candle closes above or below an IB level. When this happens, the indicator plots a small blue triangle.
A Retest occurs when price approaches and touches an IB Level, and then reverses in the opposite direction. When this happens, the indicator plots a small green or red triangle.
Green Triangle: Bullish Retest - Price comes down to a level, touches it, and continues up.
Red Triangle: Bearish Retest - Price comes up to a level, touches it, and continues down.
Both breaks and retests are plotted directly on the chart for every toggled IB level. Once detected, they remain fixed and are not repainted.
Other Settings:
🔹Shade IB Range
When enabled, this setting fills the area between the IB High and IB Low (IB Range). The fill helps visually separate the Initial Balance range from the rest of the session, making it easier to identify when price is trading inside or outside of the IB. The color and opacity can also be adjusted through the settings.
🔹Apply One Color
When this setting is enabled, all toggled IB levels use the same color instead of the user’s inputted colors.
🔹Levels Labels
When enabled, text labels that identify each IB level (for example, “IB High,” “x2 High,” or “x2.5 Low”) appear next to each level.
🔹Price Labels
When enabled, the indicator displays the real-time price value of each IB level directly on the chart. These labels update automatically as price changes or when the levels shift due to recalculation from a new session.
🔹Extend Levels Right
When enabled, all toggled IB Levels will be extended infinitely to the right of the chart.
🔹Align Text Right
This setting aligns all level and price labels to the right edge of the plotted line. When disabled, text labels will be aligned to the left edge of each level.
Multi-Timeframe VWAPs:
🔹Why does this indicator include VWAPs?
This indicator includes VWAPs because they show where the most trading activity has occurred within each timeframe, helping identify the market’s fair value area. According to Auction Market Theory, price moves between periods of balance and imbalance as buyers and sellers seek fair value. VWAPs represent those balance points where the majority of trading has taken place. By plotting the Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs, the indicator shows how value shifts across different timeframes and whether the market is balanced or moving toward a new area of value.
🔹Intraday VWAP
The Intraday VWAP measures the average traded price for the current trading session and resets each day at market open. It shows where most of the session’s trading has taken place, acting as a real-time fair value line. When price trades near the Intraday VWAP, the market is considered balanced. When price moves far above or below it, the market is exploring new value areas.
🔹Candle Coloring:
The Intraday VWAP candle coloring highlights how far price is trading from the session’s average value using the first and second standard deviation bands as visual reference zones. This feature helps users see whether price is balanced around fair value or expanding into an overextended area.
When candle coloring is enabled, each candle’s color changes based on where it closes relative to the two standard deviation bands surrounding the Intraday VWAP. The first band represents one standard deviation (1.0 STD) and the second represents one and a half standard deviations (1.5 STD).
If a candle closes above the upper 1.5 standard deviation band, it is colored a brighter green, showing strong movement above fair value. Candles closing between the upper 1.0 and 1.5 standard deviation bands are a lighter green, showing moderate strength. If a candle closes below the lower 1.5 standard deviation band, it is colored a brighter red, showing strong movement below fair value. Candles closing between the lower 1.0 and 1.5 standard deviation bands are a lighter red, showing moderate weakness. Candles that close within the ±1.0 standard deviation range remain their normal color, showing that price is balanced near the session’s average.
Both the VWAP line and its bands can be customized in the Intraday VWAP settings. Users can adjust the VWAP line color, band colors, and fill transparency. The candle colors can also be modified. The band sizes (1.0 STD and 1.5 STD by default) can be changed through their input multipliers, allowing users to control the sensitivity of the zones.
Please Note: This candle coloring applies only to the Intraday VWAP
🔹Weekly VWAP
The Weekly VWAP measures the average traded price across the current trading week and resets at the start of each new week. It reflects the fair value area that has developed over multiple trading days, providing a broader view of market balance compared to the Intraday VWAP. When price stays close to the Weekly VWAP, it indicates that the week’s trading activity is balanced. When price consistently trades above or below it, the market is moving away from that balance and forming value in a new area.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The Weekly VWAP includes optional standard deviation bands. Users can toggle 1x and 1.5x STD bands. Users can also adjust the multipliers.
Customization:
All colors for the Weekly VWAP and its standard deviation bands can be changed in the indicator’s settings. Users can adjust the VWAP line color, band colors, and fill transparency.
🔹Monthly VWAP
The Monthly VWAP measures the average traded price for the current month and resets on the first trading day of each new month. It provides the broadest view of value within this indicator, showing where the majority of trading has occurred during the current month. When price remains near the Monthly VWAP, it reflects long-term balance.
Standard Deviation Bands:
The Monthly VWAP includes optional 1x and 1.5x standard deviation bands that can be enabled or disabled. In the settings, users can adjust the standard deviation multipliers.
Customization:
The Monthly VWAP line, band colors, and fill transparency can all be modified in the indicator’s settings.
🔹VWAP Dashboard
The VWAP Dashboard provides a quick real-time overview of how price is positioned relative to the Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly VWAPs. It is displayed directly on the chart and updates automatically with each new candle.
The dashboard is divided into five labeled sections:
Intraday
Weekly
Monthly
Weekly STD
Monthly STD
Intraday, Weekly, and Monthly Sections:
These three sections show whether price is currently trading Above or Below each VWAP.
If price is above a VWAP, that section displays “Bullish”
If price is below a VWAP, that section displays “Bearish”
Weekly STD and Monthly STD:
These sections display whether price is currently inside or outside the standard deviation bands of the Weekly and Monthly VWAPs.
When price is trading within the ±1.0 standard deviation zone, the dashboard output is “Balanced Market”
When price is above the upper standard deviation, price is extending up beyond the week’s or month’s fair value, and the dashboard output is “Bullish Price Discovery”
When price is below the lower standard deviation, price is extending down beyond the week’s or month’s fair value, and the dashboard output is “Bearish Price Discovery”
🔹What is a Balanced Market
A balanced market occurs when price is trading within the ±1.0 standard deviation range of a VWAP. This shows that buyers and sellers are in general agreement on value, and trading activity is taking place around the fair value area. In this state, price tends to rotate around the VWAP rather than trend strongly away from it. Balance reflects stability in the auction process, where neither side is dominant and value is being built at current prices.
🔹What is Bullish Price Discovery
Bullish Price Discovery occurs when price trades above the upper standard deviation of a VWAP. This indicates that buyers are accepting higher prices and that value may be shifting upward. In terms of Auction Market Theory, the market is moving away from balance as it searches for a new fair value area above the prior range.
🔹What is Bearish Price Discovery
Bearish Price Discovery occurs when price trades below the lower standard deviation of a VWAP. This shows that sellers are accepting lower prices and that value may be developing beneath the prior area of balance. The market is moving out of equilibrium as participants test lower prices to find new fair value.
Session Volume Profile:
🔹Why this feature is included:
The Session Volume Profile is included to show where trading activity occurred within each session. It visually represents the volume traded at each price, helping to identify where market participants considered value to be. This ties directly to Auction Market Theory, which views markets as auctions seeking balance between buyers and sellers. The profile highlights those balance areas and shows where volume thins out, helping distinguish between value areas and areas of rejection.
🔹How is the Session Volume Profile calculated and displayed:
At the start of each selected session window, the indicator creates a new volume profile and tracks every bar in that session. For each candle, it saves the high, low, open, close, volume, and time. When the HD (High Definition) setting is enabled, and your chart is between the 1-minute and 30-minute timeframes (recommended), the indicator requests lower-timeframe data and feeds the profile with 1-minute candlesticks for more detail. The running session high and low define the vertical bounds of the volume profile. That span is split into a fixed number of rows. Each row represents a price slice. For every bar and every price row, the indicator checks whether the bar’s high-low range touches that row. If it does, it adds part of the bar’s volume to that row. The allocation uses a step-to-bar-size ratio, so that narrow bars do not overload a tall row and tall bars contribute proportionally across all rows they cross. If the bar closes above its open, that row’s “up” volume bucket is incremented. If it closes below its open, the “down” bucket is incremented. After all bars are processed, the row with the highest total becomes the Point of Control (POC). Starting from that row, the indicator expands upward and downward, adding adjacent rows until the cumulative total reaches your Value Area percentage. The upper boundary is Value Area High (VAH), and the lower boundary is Value Area Low (VAL).
For rendering, each price row becomes a horizontal box drawn from the session start time to a length proportional to that row’s volume versus the session’s maximum row volume. If you choose “Up / Down” volume, the row is split into two adjoining boxes that show the up and down portions. If you choose “Total,” a single box is drawn to the total length. If you choose “Delta,” the length reflects the absolute difference between up and down. The POC is drawn as a line across the row midpoint. VAH and VAL are drawn at the exact prices of the top and bottom value rows. While a session is open the profile keeps updating as new bars form. When the session ends, the script fixes its start and end and stops changing that profile. To avoid any issues with drawing limits, the indicator only renders the two most recent session volume profiles.
Settings:
🔹Enabled
Turns the Session Volume Profile on or off. When disabled, no session profiles, lines, or volume boxes are displayed.
🔹HD
Stands for High Definition. When enabled, the indicator requests data from the 1-minute timeframe to build a smoother, more detailed volume profile. This produces finer row distribution and more accurate POC, VAH, and VAL positioning, especially on higher chart timeframes.
🔹POC Line
Toggles the visibility of the Point of Control line. The POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume in the session. It’s drawn horizontally across the chart at that price, and its color can be customized in settings.
🔹VAH
Controls the display of the Value Area High line. The VAH is the top boundary of the range that contains the specified percentage of total traded volume (default 70%). It marks where volume starts to thin out above fair value. Users can turn it on or off and customize its color.
🔹VAL
Controls the display of the Value Area Low line. The VAL is the lower boundary of the value area and marks where volume thins out below fair value. Its visibility and color can also be customized.
🔹Session
This setting allows users to define the start and end time of the trading session used to calculate the session volume profile. Only bars within this time window are included in the volume profile. When a session ends, the volume profile locks, and a new one begins automatically when the next session begins based on the user’s input.
🔹Volume
Controls how the histogram rows are displayed:
Up/Down: Splits each price row into two parts: one for bullish candles (Up volume) and one for bearish candles (Down volume). This helps visualize buying versus selling pressure at each price.
Total: Combines both Up and Down volume into a single-colored bar for each price level. Since direction isn’t separated, this view focuses purely on where trading activity was concentrated, regardless of which side was in control. A tall bar means strong participation and interest at that price.
Delta: Displays the difference between up and down volume (Up/Down) for each row, highlighting which side controlled that price area.
🔹Value Area Volume
The Value Area Volume setting defines how much of the total session volume is considered the “value area.” By default, it’s 70%, meaning the indicator finds the price range where 70% of all trading took place during that session. This area is where buyers and sellers agreed the most on price, also known as the fair value zone.
If you increase the percentage (for example, to 80%), the value area becomes wider and includes more of the session’s trading range. Lowering it (for example, to 60%) makes it narrower, focusing only on the prices with the heaviest activity.
🔹Row Size
The Row Size controls how detailed the volume profile looks. It decides how many price levels (rows) the profile is divided into. Smaller values make the profile smoother and easier to read but less precise. Larger values add more detail and show exactly where volume clustered, but they can make the profile look denser.
The maximum value is 450 rows, and the minimum value is 5 rows. Higher values (especially above 200) can make the volume profile appear more detailed but may also cause performance issues or partial rendering on TradingView charts due to the platform’s drawing object limits. For most users, values between 50–150 give a good balance between clarity and performance.
25 Rows vs. 200 Rows:
Composite Volume Profile:
The Composite Volume Profile shows how volume is distributed across a larger selected range instead of just one session. It helps traders see where the most trading activity has taken place over multiple days. This gives a picture of long-term balance areas and important price zones that have repeatedly attracted buyers and sellers.
The Composite Profile uses the same base logic and visual settings as the Session Volume Profile, including POC Line, VAH, VAL, Volume Type, Value Area Volume, Row Size, and Colors. Any customization applied to those settings also affects the Composite Profile, ensuring a consistent appearance across both features.
🔹Session Count Setting:
This setting controls how many past sessions are merged into one composite volume profile. For example, if the Session Count is set to 5, and each session represents one trading day, the profile combines data from the last 5 trading days. A “session” refers to the time window defined in the Session Volume Profile settings.
🔹How is the Composite Volume Profile used?
In Auction Market Theory, markets move through phases of balance and imbalance as traders agree on value before moving to explore new ones. The Composite Volume Profile shows where that long-term balance has formed. Large, wide areas on the profile indicate zones where multiple sessions agreed on value. Thin areas show prices that were quickly rejected, where less time and volume were traded. Combining short-term session profiles into a composite helps identify when the market is holding near established value or entering new price discovery, confirming transitions between balance and price discovery.
Low Volume Zones:
🔹What are Low Volume Zones?
Low Volume Zones (LVZs) are price areas where trading activity was minimal compared to surrounding levels. On a volume profile, they appear as thin “valleys” between two high-volume “peaks.” These valleys show where the market moved too quickly for significant two-way trade to occur. In Auction Market Theory, they represent inefficient areas, meaning the market didn’t find fair value, so price either skipped through or rejected those levels.
🔹How are Low Volume Zones found?
The indicator identifies Low Volume Zones (LVZs) directly from Session Volume Profiles (SVPs) by analyzing the shape of its volume distribution. Each SVP is built from a series of horizontal rows, where each row represents the total traded volume within a narrow price range. The longer the row, the higher the trading activity at that price.
The indicator first locates the two largest high-volume peaks on the profile. These peaks represent the strongest areas of market activity. Once these two main peaks are found, the indicator looks on both sides of each peak for the lowest-volume row in the surrounding area. Those small-volume dips define the boundaries of the Low Volume Zones.
Each high-volume peak can therefore generate two LVZs (one above and one below it), resulting in a maximum of four Low Volume Zones per volume profile. If two LVZs overlap or share the same price range, they are automatically merged into a single larger zone, which may reduce the total count to three or fewer.
🔹How are Low Volume Zones used?
Low Volume Zones (LVZs) mark areas where the market previously traded with little participation. In Auction Market Theory, these zones represent inefficient price areas where buyers and sellers failed to agree on value. When price returns to an LVZ, it may act as an area where price tends to react differently due to lower previous trading activity. If the market still sees that area as unfair, price will reject it and reverse quickly. If the market now accepts that price level, volume builds and price moves through it smoothly as the auction seeks new balance. Traders use LVZs to identify where price may react sharply or move quickly through thin areas. When price approaches a zone from above or below, it signals potential rejection or continuation.
🔹LVZ Breaks and Retests
The indicator automatically tracks how price interacts with every detected LVZ.
A Break occurs when price fully moves through the entire LVZ and closes past it. When this happens, the indicator plots a small blue triangle.
A Retest occurs when price touches an LVZ and reverses away, showing rejection. When price comes down to a level, taps it, and continues up, it’s considered a bullish retest, and a small green triangle is plotted. When price comes up to a level, taps it, and continues down, it’s considered a bearish retest, and a small red triangle is plotted.
🔹LVZ Settings
Enabled:
Toggles LVZ detection and visualization on or off.
Realtime:
Allows LVZs to form dynamically as the current session develops, updating live as volume builds or thins out. When disabled, zones only appear once the session closes.
Please note: When this setting is enabled, zones may update or shift while the current session is still forming. Because the Session Volume Profile is continuously recalculating with new data, both the volume distribution and detected zones can change until the session closes.
Row Pivot Length:
Controls how far above and below each price row the indicator looks when identifying the highest and lowest volume points that define each Low Volume Zone. Larger values make the indicator compare a wider range of rows, while smaller values keep the analysis closer to each row’s immediate area.
Last SVPs:
Defines how many recent Session Volume Profiles are used for LVZs. For example, setting it to 3 limits LVZ detection to the last three sessions only.
Retests and Breaks:
Enables or disables the display of the retest and break markers described above.
Checklist:
The Checklist is a manual on-chart dashboard that allows traders to keep track of specific market conditions before entering a trade. Each checklist item can be toggled on or off in the indicator’s settings. When enabled, a checkmark emoji appears next to that item on the dashboard. When disabled, an X emoji appears next to that item.
This feature is designed to help traders visually confirm important steps in their process, such as reviewing trend direction, VWAP alignment, or session context. The checklist can also be repositioned anywhere on the chart using the “Location” setting for better visibility and layout preference.
Watermark:
The Watermark feature displays key chart information directly in the background, including the current ticker symbol, selected timeframe, and date. The watermark’s size, color, and transparency can be adjusted in the settings.
UNIQUENESS:
The VWAP Wave System Toolkit is unique because it brings every part of Auction Market Theory to the chart. It shows how value builds and shifts by combining Initial Balance levels, multi-timeframe VWAPs, and volume profiles. The indicator automatically marks low-volume zones where the market moved too quickly, highlights breaks and retests, and tracks how price interacts with fair value across sessions, weeks, and months. Every feature works together to give a simple view of balance, imbalance, and value development as the auction unfolds.
TD signalsThe iFVG Smart Inversion System is a precision-based price action tool designed for traders who understand the power of liquidity and displacement. This indicator identifies Inverted Fair Value Gaps (iFVGs) — moments when price fully disrespects an existing imbalance — signaling a potential shift in market intent.
Unlike typical FVG indicators that flood the chart with zones, this system focuses on the signal behind the imbalance, not the imbalance itself.
✅ Core Logic
A signal is generated only when:
1️⃣ Price taps the 50 EMA
2️⃣ Within the next 10 bars, a previously-formed FVG is completely closed through
3️⃣ Trend is confirmed:
Buy only if price is above the 50 EMA
Sell only if price is below the 50 EMA
4️⃣ The most recent FVG is the only valid one
5️⃣ One signal per EMA tap — no clutter
6️⃣ System fully resets only after a new, clean EMA touch
7️⃣ Signal filter: Blocked when 50 EMA & 100 EMA are crossing to avoid indecision zones
This creates a highly selective, institutional-style confirmation tool with strong directional bias.
🎯 What It’s Built For
Intraday trading (5m optimal, but works on other TFs)
Liquidity grabs & displacement recognition
Trend-aligned continuation entries
Clean and minimal charting
Perfect for traders who want clarity over chaos — less noise, more conviction.
🔔 Alerts Included
TD Buy Signal
TD Sell Signal
Optional FVG disrespect notifications
Use with your preferred execution model (Breaker, iFVG continuation, BOS confirmation, etc.)

Delta Arbitrage [by Oberlunar]Delta Arbitrage turns fragmented exchange activity into a single, readable pulse. Each broker breathes at its own rhythm; this tool measures the share of “buy vs. sell” participation per broker, weights those brokers by liquidity/activity, and blends them into one continuous bias. The result is a chart you can read in seconds: aqua when buy-side dominates, red when sell-side does—stronger shades for stronger imbalances.
Delta Arbitrage indicator supports several ways to colour candles based on the aggregated, cross-venue delta, so you can match visual feedback to the strength/consensus of flow.
Examples
LONG opportunity — broad bullish agreement (>70% weighted Buy%)
In this case, a LONG setup formed because a high proportion of brokers simultaneously pushed bullish volumetric deltas (>70%).
The corridor then stayed positive across multiple bars, with sustained long strength in agreement across venues:
Follow-through:
SHORT opportunity — broad bearish agreement (<20% weighted Buy%)
Here, a SHORT setup formed because a high proportion of brokers simultaneously pushed bearish volumetric deltas (<20%).
The corridor remained negative over several bars, showing high-intensity short pressure in cross-venue agreement:
Follow-through:
Spectral mode
You can enable the spectral mode, where range candles are colored only when multiple brokers are in volumetric agreement. You’ll see bullish pressure when weighted Buy% exceeds ~70%; when direction changes, range candles fade out and the lower tiles flip red to reflect rising short pressure.
Example:
How it’s built (in plain words)
For every selected broker, the script computes a robust Buy% over a rolling window and maps it to a signed bias (−1…+1).
Venues are then combined with flexible weighting—Equal, Last Volume, SMA Volume, or Relative-to-SMA—to emphasise who is active now .
A small neutral band near zero calms noise; an intensity curve (gamma) makes strong pushes visually obvious without overshooting weak ones.
What you see
Tinted bars/background : the aggregate bias colours the chart so the prevailing side is instantly clear.
Dashboard : a compact meter for each venue (SELL⇄BUY), its normalised weight, and exact Buy%/bias, plus a summary line for the weighted & unweighted aggregates. It shows whether one venue is dragging the whole market or if participation is broad.
Lower panel (timeline) : a tile-per-bar strip using the same bias logic. Long, saturated runs = sustained participation; choppy, desaturated tiles around zero = balance/compression. The strip’s height is fixed vs. a recent range, so it remains legible on any zoom.
How to act on it (minimal, auditable rules)
Entries: a one-shot arrow when the weighted Buy% crosses a high/low threshold (e.g., >70 for longs, <30 for shorts).
Exits: trail the indicator itself—close when the weighted Buy% retraces by a set number of points from its peak (long) or trough (short).
Context: prefer entries that align with a fresh, persistent run in the lower strip and supportive rows in the dashboard; fade/exit when the strip desaturates or flips.
Do not operate when the average volumetric pressure (avg) is around 50% +- 15%
Why it matters
This is not tick-level microstructure; it’s a fast, stable cross-venue proxy designed for operational use on any timeframe. By unifying “who’s in charge, for how long, and how strongly,” the indicator reduces discretionary noise and turns participation into a tradable, testable context.

Order Blocks Zones with Signals█ OVERVIEW
“Order Blocks Zones with Signals” is a technical analysis tool that automatically identifies Order Blocks (OB) and optionally Fair Value Gaps (FVG) on the chart.
The script visualizes these zones as colored rectangles, offering full customization of style, transparency, and signal display.
It also generates entry and exit signals (Break & Exit) that can serve as confirmations in strategies based on price action and market structure.
Thanks to flexible candle size filters and rich visual options, the indicator maintains chart clarity and readability.
█ CONCEPTS
Order Blocks (OB) are key zones on the chart where significant price movements previously occurred — areas where large market participants (institutions, so-called smart money) initiated or closed positions.
An OB is the last candle that followed the prior trend before the market reversed (e.g., for a Bullish OB: the last bearish candle before a pivot low and a strong upward impulse).
The script detects these levels using local price pivots, analyzing candle direction to filter out less significant movements.
FVG (Fair Value Gaps) represent areas of imbalance between buyers and sellers — price gaps formed by a sharp impulse where full trading did not occur due to one-sided order dominance (e.g., excess buy or sell orders).
Why combine OB and FVG in one indicator?
Combining OB and FVG analysis is essential because these phenomena often occur sequentially in the institutional market cycle:
1. Order Block — institutions enter the market in the OB zone, absorbing orders and building positions.
2. Strong impulse — after smart money entry, a rapid price move creates an FVG (imbalance gap).
3. Retest — price naturally returns to these zones (OB or FVG), drawn by unfilled orders and the search for equilibrium.
Such areas strongly attract price, as they represent not only historical institutional levels but also open “holes” in the order book. Retests of OB and FVG are ideal entry opportunities with high reaction probability (rebound or breakout). The indicator combines these two interconnected elements, enabling comprehensive market structure analysis in a single tool.
Order Blocks are labeled as:
Bullish OB – demand zones, often accumulation areas before an upmove.
Bearish OB – supply zones, signaling potential impulse end or correction start.
█ FEATURES
Order Block Detection (OB Detection):
- Automatic identification of demand and supply zones based on pivots.
- OB is the last candle aligned with the prior trend, just before the market reversal — precisely identified through candle sequence analysis around the pivot.
- OB zones appear with a delay equal to Pivot Length (default 10 bars).
- Break signals trigger when a candle’s body (close) fully pierces the zone, causing the zone to disappear immediately (e.g., close < low of Bullish OB → Break Down and zone deletion).
- Minimum size filtering via OB Size Multiplier.
- Option to create OB without wicks (Include Wicks in OB): when disabled, OB zones are based solely on candle bodies (open/close), ignoring wicks (high/low).
Fair Value Gap Detection (FVG Detection):
- Optional, with enable/disable capability.
- FVG are detected without delay — immediately upon gap occurrence.
- Size filtering via Candle Size Period and FVG Size Multiplier.
Customizable Styling:
- Separate colors and border styles (Solid / Dashed / Dotted) for each zone type.
- Adjustable transparency and border thickness.
- Unified color for box, border, and signal of the same type.
Breakout and Exit Signals:
- Break Up – triggered when a candle’s close breaks above a Bearish OB, causing the zone to disappear.
- Break Down – triggered when a candle’s close breaks below a Bullish OB, causing the zone to disappear.
- Exit Up / Exit Down – temporary exit from the zone without full breakout (price leaves the zone but doesn’t close beyond it). Signal type selection: Break, Exit, or Both.
- Alerts: built-in alerts for all signal types — triggered automatically on candle close confirming breakout or exit from OB.
█ HOW TO USE
Adding to chart: import the code into Pine Editor and run the script on TradingView.
Settings configuration:
- Pivot Length: controls swing detection sensitivity and OB display delay (default 10).
- Include Wicks in OB: enabled (default) – OB includes wicks; disabled – OB uses bodies only.
- Size Filter: adjust Candle Size Period and OB/FVG Size Multiplier to filter out small zones.
- Colors & Styles: set colors, styles, and transparency for each zone type.
- Signal Type: choose which signals to display (Break, Exit, or Both).
Signal interpretation:
- OB Break Up: price closes above Bearish OB → zone disappears → potential bullish continuation.
- OB Break Down: price closes below Bullish OB → zone disappears → potential bearish continuation.
- Exit Signals: price leaves the zone temporarily without breakout — often signals impending reversal or pullback.
Tips:
- Use OB signals alongside other indicators like RSI, MACD, SMI, or trend filters.
- Order Blocks from higher timeframes (e.g., 4H, 1D) carry greater significance and reaction strength.
- Remember: FVG are detected immediately, OB with delay — a complementary approach!
█ APPLICATIONS
- Smart Money Concepts (SMC): use OB zones as dynamic support and resistance levels. In an uptrend, look for buy opportunities in bullish OBs, which price often retests before further gains. Combining with RSI, MACD, or Fibonacci levels enhances zone significance, confirming institutional demand.
- Breakout Trading: trade based on OB breakout signals. A buy signal after breaking a bearish OB may indicate a strong upward impulse, especially if supported by rising MACD or RSI above 50. Similarly for sell signals after Break Down.
- Reversal Zones: Exit signals may indicate the end of a move or correction. Safest to use in alignment with higher-timeframe trend and confirmed by another indicator (e.g., RSI divergence, Fibonacci levels).
- Confluence Analysis: combine OB and FVG for deeper market structure and equilibrium insight. When an Order Block overlaps or borders an FVG, we get confluence of two institutional phenomena — OB (smart money entry) + FVG (imbalance) — making these areas particularly strong price magnets, increasing retest and reaction probability.
█ NOTES
- FVG can be fully disabled for a cleaner chart view.
- In consolidation periods, signals may appear more frequently — always confirm with additional trend filters.
- Works on all markets and timeframes (crypto, forex, indices, stocks).
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Balanced Delta Volume Profile (Zeiierman) builds a vertical, price-by-price profile that blends total participation with balance quality. Instead of plotting raw volume alone, it weights each price bin by:
how balanced buyers vs. sellers were,
how compressed price was inside that bin,
how often price revisited it.
The result spotlights fair value and acceptance zones while still revealing momentum/imbalance areas—ideal for reading rotation vs. trend, continuation vs. exhaustion, and the prices that truly matter.
Highlights
Balanced score that fuses delta symmetry, price compression, and hit frequency.
Optional heat spectrum for instant read of participation density and balance strength.
POC-like auto highlight of the dominant price level within the lookback window.
Works across timeframes for session profiling, swing context, or regime shifts.
█ How It Works
⚪ Profile Construction
The script scans a fixed History Length and divides the full high–low span into Bin Count price bins. For every bar in the window, its volume is proportionally distributed across the bins it overlaps, so wide-range bars contribute across multiple bins, while narrow bars concentrate where they traded most. This yields per-bin totals for:
Total Volume (participation)
Positive / Negative Volume (up vs. down bar contribution)
Hit Count (how often price touched the bin)
Average Price Range (mean bar range inside the bin; a proxy for compression)
⚪ Delta & Direction
For each bin, delta symmetry is measured via the ratio of |pos − neg| to total volume. Bins with balanced two-sided flow score higher than one-sided, runaway bins. This curbs the tendency of raw volume profiles to over-reward impulsive bursts.
⚪ Balance Score
Each price bin gets a balance score that multiplies three normalized components:
Delta Balance: rewards bins where buy/sell pressure is symmetrical (configurable via Volume Momentum Weight).
Price Compression: rewards bins where average bar range is relatively small (configurable via Price Momentum Weight).
Durability: rewards bins revisited often (configurable via Hits Weight).
A Min Hits Filter removes flimsy, single-touch bins from dominating the score. The profile can display pure totals or Average Mode (Vol/Hit) to compare bins fairly when hit counts differ.
⚪ Display & Heat Spectrum
The final plotted bar length per bin is the display volume (total or average) weighted by the balance score and normalized to 100.
POC-like Highlight: The 100% bin is outlined (and labeled) when Highlight Max Volume Bin is ON.
Heat Spectrum (optional): A background gradient scales with normalized bar length and balance hue.
Balance Hue: Interpolates between Balance Low/High Colors so high-balance bins visually pop as “accepted value.”
█ How to Use
The profile is effectively a map of price acceptance:
High, bright bars = strong participation at balanced prices → fair value/rotation zones.
Thin, muted bars = poor acceptance → imbalance or transition areas.
POC-style level = most influential price in the lookback window.
⚪ Find Fair Value & Acceptance
Thick, high-balance bins mark value. Expect rotation: price often revisits or oscillates around these areas. They’re prime zones for mean-reversion fades, scale-ins, and risk-defined trades against the edges.
⚪ Identify Imbalance & Funnels
Low-balance, low-hit bins often act like air pockets—price can move through them quickly. These zones are helpful for continuation trades into thin areas or for timing breakout pulls back into acceptance.
⚪ POC Dynamics
When price leaves the POC and returns, watch for re-acceptance (price comes back into the POC or high-balance zone and stays there.) vs. rejection (trend continuation away from value). The auto-highlight makes this quick to judge.
█ Settings
History Length – Bars scanned for the profile. Longer = broader context, slower to adapt.
Bin Count – Vertical resolution of bins between the window’s min and max price.
Display Shift – Offsets the rendering rightward for clarity.
Average Mode (Vol/Hit) – ON uses average volume per visit; OFF uses total volume.
Volume Momentum Weight – Emphasizes two-way flow; higher values favor balanced bins over one-sided deltas.
Price Momentum Weight – Emphasizes compression; higher values favor narrow-range, coiling price action.
Hits Weight – Rewards bins revisited often; higher values favor durable acceptance.
Min Hits Filter – Minimum visits a bin needs to qualify for the balance score.
Show Heat Spectrum – Background gradient for quick read of density and balance.
Highlight Max Volume Bin – Outline + raw volume label for the dominant bin.
Max Volume Color – Color used for that highlight.
Balance Low/High Colors – Gradient endpoints for balance hue across the profile.

FVG SizeFVG Size Indicator – Description
Overview
This Pine Script v5 indicator detects and visualizes Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) on the chart. It draws colored boxes for FVGs, center lines (CE), and displays the size of each FVG as a label. The indicator is designed for manual analysis, helping traders identify potential price imbalances.
Key Features
FVG Detection:
Identifies bullish and bearish FVGs based on price structure.
Draws colored boxes for FVGs and dotted center lines (CE).
FVG Size Display:
Shows the size of each FVG as a label inside the box.
Customizable minimum size threshold to filter out smaller FVGs.
Dynamic Adjustments:
Extends FVG boxes to the right as new bars form.
Removes FVGs that are filled (mitigated) by price action.
Customizable Settings:
Adjustable colors, text size, and display options.
Settings and Translations
Here are the German settings with their English translations:
FVG Settings
Long FVG Farbe → Long FVG Color (Color for bullish FVG boxes)
Short FVG Farbe → Short FVG Color (Color for bearish FVG boxes)
CE Farbe → CE Color (Color for the center line)
Tage Rückblick → Lookback Days (Number of days to look back for FVGs)
Lösche gefüllte Boxen & Linien → Delete Filled Boxes & Lines (Removes FVGs that have been filled by price)
FVG Display
FVG Größe anzeigen → Show FVG Size (Displays the size of each FVG as a label)
Text → Text Size (Size of the FVG size label text)
Mindestgröße → Minimum Size (Minimum FVG size to display, filtering out smaller FVGs)
How It Works
FVG Detection Logic:
A bullish FVG is detected if the high of the 3rd bar is lower than the low of the 1st bar.
A bearish FVG is detected if the low of the 3rd bar is higher than the high of the 1st bar.
Drawing FVGs:
The indicator draws a box between the high/low of the 1st and 3rd bars.
A center line (CE) is drawn at the midpoint of the FVG.
The size of the FVG is displayed as a label inside the box.
Dynamic Adjustments:
FVG boxes are extended to the right as new bars form.
If the price fills the FVG, the box and line are removed (depending on settings).
Mitigation Logic:
If the price closes beyond the FVG boundaries, the FVG is considered "filled" and removed.
Previous Cycle Range + SMTs [bilal x shpat]Inspired by ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts
Description made by ChatGPT
Thank you shpat.a for making the SMT option
📝 Overview
The Previous Cycle Range + SMTs indicator is a multi-timeframe tool designed to visualize key market structure levels derived from the previous trading cycle’s range — a concept heavily utilized in ICT-style analysis.
In addition to the traditional range levels, this indicator adds Smart Money Tool (SMT) detection, allowing traders to identify bullish or bearish divergences across multiple correlated assets, giving an edge in spotting potential turning points and liquidity imbalances.
It helps traders identify equilibrium levels, liquidity zones, and potential premium/discount areas based on the prior day (or any chosen period) high and low — now with intermarket divergence insights.
⚙️ Features
Custom Cycle Length: Define your own cycle in minutes (e.g., 1440 = 1 day, 10080 = 1 week).
Previous High/Low: Automatically plots the previous cycle’s high and low levels.
Equilibrium (EQ): Optional 50% midpoint line to highlight the market’s equilibrium.
Quarter Levels: Adds 25% and 75% range lines for refined premium/discount analysis.
Extended Ranges: Optional extended levels (e.g., -100%, +200%) to identify continuation or retracement targets.
Fib Levels (1.272 & 1.618): Adds ICT-style Fibonacci extension levels for confluence zones.
Smart Money Tool (SMT) Detection:
Detects bullish or bearish divergences between your main asset and up to two comparison symbols.
Highlights potential SMT zones with optional text labels for quick visualization.
Optional SMT summary table displays divergence status for all three assets.
Custom Styling: Full control over colors, line width, label style, and extension distance.
💡 How It Helps
This indicator aligns with ICT principles by making the previous day’s range visible and actionable, now with SMT divergence insights:
The previous day’s high/low often act as liquidity pools.
The equilibrium (EQ) represents fair value — useful for spotting premium/discount zones.
Quarter levels and Fibonacci extensions add precision when mapping market structure and potential reaction points.
SMT detection helps traders identify early divergence signals that may indicate upcoming bullish or bearish moves across correlated markets.
🔍 Example Uses
Identify where price is trading relative to the previous session’s range.
Use EQ and quarter levels to gauge premium vs. discount conditions.
Spot intermarket divergences using SMTs to anticipate potential reversal or continuation points.
Combine with other ICT-based tools (e.g., PD arrays, dealing ranges, or kill zones) for refined trade setups.

Advanced Institucional Trading IndicatorThe Advanced Institutional Trading Indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool that combines four institutional trading concepts to identify where large market participants hunt liquidity, establish positions, and create supply/demand imbalances. The indicator integrates pivot-based reversal signals, liquidity sweep detection, volumetric order blocks, and equal highs/lows identification into a unified framework for analyzing institutional footprints in the market.
What It Detects
Pivot-Based Reversal Signals: Swing highs/lows marking potential trend reversals
Liquidity Sweeps: False breakouts indicating institutional stop-hunting
Volumetric Order Blocks: Supply/demand zones with buying vs selling pressure ratios
Equal Highs/Lows (EQH/EQL): Liquidity pools where stops cluster
In Practice
Traders can watch for equal highs/lows near order blocks, wait for sweeps of these levels as confirmation of liquidity capture, then look for reversal signals to time entries with the expectation that institutions have now positioned themselves and the true directional move can begin.
Logic used
Pivots: Standard functions with configurable periods, signals when swing type alternates
Sweeps: Detects brief violations of swing levels with cooldown filter
Order Blocks: Three-candle volume split into buying/selling pressure, filtered by ATR
Equal Levels: Compares consecutive pivots within ATR-based threshold
Visual representation
Reversal Signals: Green "Buy-point"/red "Sell-point" labels.
Sweeps: Dashed lines with "Sweep" text and swing markers.
Order Blocks: Colored boxes with volumetric bars and percentages.
Equal Levels: Golden lines with $ symbols.
Customization options
Pivot Length, Cooldown Period, Swing Length, Zone Count (1/3/5/10), ATR Multiplier, Threshold, customizable colors and styles.
Recommendations for use: Lower timeframes use smaller parameters (5-15 pivot, 20-35 swing). Higher timeframes use larger (20-50 pivot, 50-100 swing). Adjust for volatility.
Originality and value
While this indicator utilizes established concepts from institutional trading methodology (particularly Smart Money Concepts and ICT principles), its value proposition includes:
- Integration: Combines four complementary analysis tools into a single cohesive framework rather than requiring multiple separate indicators
- Volumetric Enhancement: Adds quantitative volume analysis to order blocks, showing not just where institutions positioned but how much buying vs selling pressure existed
- Automated Zone Management: Intelligently combines overlapping order blocks to reduce visual noise while preserving essential information
- Intelligent Filtering: Uses ATR-based thresholds for equal highs/lows and maximum order block size, adapting to market volatility
- Coordinated Signaling: All components reference similar swing detection logic, creating alignment between different institutional footprint indicators

Multi-TF 👀### Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTF-Analysis)
**Overview**
The Multi-Timeframe Analysis indicator is a powerful visualization tool designed for traders who incorporate multi-timeframe (MTF) strategies into their decision-making process. It overlays compact, customizable candle representations from up to four higher timeframes directly on your chart, positioned to the right of the last bar for quick reference. This allows you to monitor price action, momentum via EMAs, and key levels like Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) across multiple resolutions without switching charts. Built with efficiency in mind, it supports automatic timeframe detection, real-time updates, and a clean, non-intrusive design that enhances your trading workflow.
Ideal for day traders, swing traders, and scalpers, this indicator helps identify alignments between timeframes, spot potential reversals or continuations, and validate entries/exits based on higher-timeframe context. It leverages Pine Script v6 for smooth performance, with optimizations to handle up to 5000 bars back and extensive drawing limits.
**Key Features**
- **Multi-Timeframe Candle Display**: Renders recent candles (configurable from 5 to 100 per timeframe) from selected higher timeframes (e.g., 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H) as compact bars with customizable width, spacing, and padding. Bullish and bearish candles are color-coded for instant recognition.
- **Automatic Timeframe Adaptation**: When enabled, the indicator intelligently selects complementary timeframes based on your chart's resolution (e.g., on a 1m chart, it might show 5m, 15m, and 1H). Manual overrides are available for full control.
- **EMA Overlays**: Plots EMA9, EMA21, and EMA50 on each MTF section using a user-defined source (e.g., OHLC/4, close). EMAs can be dashed for clarity and enabled/disabled per timeframe, helping to gauge momentum and trend strength.
- **Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)**: Detects bullish (+FVG) and bearish (-FVG) gaps with a configurable lookback length (5-50 bars). Gaps are visualized as dotted boxes extending from the candle, highlighting potential support/resistance zones or imbalances.
- **Time Labels and Debugging**: Displays timestamp labels under every fourth candle for chronological context. A debug mode expands spacing and adds detailed labels (e.g., OHLC, volume, EMA values) for testing and verification.
- **Customization Options**: Extensive inputs for colors (bodies, wicks, EMAs, FVGs), label sizes/styles, and layout ensure seamless integration with your chart theme. Supports futures symbols with a time offset adjustment.
- **Performance Optimizations**: Uses arrays for efficient data management, clears drawings on realtime updates or timeframe changes, and limits buffer sizes to prevent overload.
**How to Use**
1. Add the indicator to your chart via TradingView's "Indicators" menu.
2. Configure timeframes: Enable/disable up to four TFs and set the number of candles to display. Use "Auto Timeframe" for smart defaults.
3. Adjust EMAs: Select the source type and toggle per TF to focus on relevant momentum signals (e.g., EMA9 crossovers for short-term trades).
4. Enable FVGs: Activate per TF and tweak the length to suit your market (shorter for volatile assets, longer for trends).
5. Fine-tune appearance: Modify padding, candle width, and colors to avoid clutter. Use debug mode during setup.
6. Interpret: Align your chart's price action with MTF candles—look for confluence in trends, FVGs filling as support/resistance, or EMA alignments for high-probability setups.
**Input Settings**
- **General**: Hour offset for time adjustments (useful for futures).
- **Timeframes**: Enable TFs 1-4, select resolutions (e.g., "5m"), and set candle counts. Auto mode simplifies this.
- **FVG/iFVG**: Toggle per TF, customize colors and detection length.
- **EMA**: Enable per TF, choose source, colors, and dashed style.
- **Candle Appearance**: Bull/bear colors for bodies/wicks, width/spacing/padding, label size/color.
- **Debug**: Expands view for detailed inspection.
**Notes**
- This indicator is non-repainting and updates in realtime, but performance may vary on lower timeframes with many candles—reduce counts if needed.
- FVGs are calculated locally on recent bars for efficiency; historical gaps beyond the buffer aren't shown.
- Compatible with all symbols, but best on volatile markets like forex, crypto, or indices.
- Feedback welcome—updates may include more MA types or advanced FVG filters.

Volume Spread Analysis — Educational (VSA Study)Volume Spread Analysis — Educational (VSA Study)
Overview
This study is an educational tool built around classic Volume Spread Analysis (VSA), the methodology introduced by Tom Williams.
VSA looks at the relationship between volume, price spread, and closing position to highlight potential supply and demand imbalances.
The script is designed for learning and visual study, not for trade signals. It highlights well-known VSA events directly on the chart and adds reference lines and a colored moving average to help contextualize strength and weakness.
What It Shows
Major VSA Events: Stopping Volume (SV), Selling Climax (SC), Shakeout (SO), No Supply (NS), No Demand (ND), Buying Climax (BC), Upthrust (UT), Supply Coming In (SCI), End of Rising Market (EoRM), and Test Bars.
Trigger Lines: When a strong VSA bar appears, the script draws horizontal levels at the bar’s high and low. These act as educational “zones” where future price reactions can be studied.
Context Moving Average: A dotted MA changes color with price context (black or green when strength is confirmed, red when weakness dominates).
How It Works
Each event is identified using a blend of conditions:
Volume vs. its average
Spread vs. its average
Close location within the bar
Wick analysis (upper/lower shadows)
Short-term trend filters (5- and 10-period SMAs)
By combining these elements, the script maps chart activity to classical VSA definitions.
How to Study With It
Signs of Strength
Look for SC, SV, or SO bars.
Wait until price trades above the blue trigger line drawn from those bars.
Watch for a No Supply (NS) test bar in that zone.
Confirmation comes when the immediate next bar closes up and strong, with higher volume than the prior two bars.
The dotted MA should shift to black or green, showing supportive background strength.
Signs of Weakness
Watch for Supply Coming In, BC, or UT events.
Wait until price trades below the red trigger line.
Look for a No Demand (ND) bar in that area.
Confirmation comes when the following bar closes down and weak, with higher volume than the prior two bars.
The dotted MA should be red, reinforcing weakness.
Originality
This script was written from scratch with a focus on education and clarity. While VSA concepts themselves are public domain, the implementation here is unique:
It combines event detection, trigger zones, and a contextual MA in one framework.
It avoids acting as a trading system and instead provides a practical study workflow that traders can follow step by step.
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational purposes only.
It does not generate buy or sell signals and should not be used as financial advice.
Trading involves risk; always perform your own analysis and risk management.
Funding Rate Aggregated (Lite)Funding Rate Aggregated (Lite) provides traders with a consolidated view of perpetual futures funding rates across multiple major exchanges. Instead of monitoring each market individually, the script aggregates the available data into a single, average funding rate series—streamlining analysis and helping identify market-wide positioning imbalances.
The indicator supports Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, and Coinbase, with user-controlled toggles to enable or disable specific venues. For exchanges offering multiple quote currencies (e.g., USDT, USD, or USDC pairs) inclusion is based on whether their trading activity (volume) is relevant (determined manually, not via code). Each available rate is checked and included in the calculation only if valid, ensuring the average reflects actual market conditions.
From a technical standpoint, the script:
Retrieves real-time funding rate data directly via request.security for the current symbol’s base currency.
Applies standard formatting similar to TradingView's official indicator.
Visualizes the average funding rate with color-coded plotting (green for positive, red for negative), alongside a neutral zero reference line.
Why it is useful:
Funding rates are a direct measure of long/short market bias in perpetual swaps. Persistently high positive rates often indicate overcrowded longs, while negative rates can reveal excessive shorting.
By combining multiple exchanges into one metric, traders gain a more robust signal, reducing noise from isolated exchange-specific anomalies.
This aggregated perspective can assist in timing contrarian trades, spotting funding-driven inefficiencies, and gauging overall market sentiment.
Applications in trading include:
Sentiment analysis: Assess whether perpetual futures traders are leaning heavily long or short.
Cross-exchange confirmation: Ensure that extreme funding isn’t confined to a single venue.
Risk management: Identify periods of elevated funding costs that may erode profitability in longer-term positions.
Strategy filters: Integrate the aggregated rate as a condition for entries/exits, or to adjust position sizing during extremes.
The Lite designation emphasizes simplicity and efficiency: the indicator avoids unnecessary visual and data-driven clutter and focuses on delivering one clear, aggregated signal that can be adapted to a wide range of trading styles.
CVD Spaghetti - Multi-Exchange (Perpetuals)CVD Spaghetti – Multi-Exchange (Perpetuals) is designed to track and visualize Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) across multiple cryptocurrency perpetual futures exchanges in one consolidated view. This indicator provides traders with a clearer perspective on buying and selling pressure by monitoring how order flow develops on different venues simultaneously.
What it does
The script calculates the CVD for each enabled exchange and plots them as separate lines on a single chart, creating a “spaghetti” style visualization. This allows traders to identify relative strength or weakness between major exchanges, which can often hint at institutional positioning, liquidity shifts, and potential market imbalances.
Why it’s useful
Order flow and liquidity dynamics can differ significantly between exchanges. By aggregating and comparing these flows, traders can:
Detect which venue is leading during trend development.
Spot divergences between exchanges, which may indicate inefficiencies or arbitrage-driven movements.
Gauge overall sentiment strength by comparing multiple sources instead of relying on a single dataset.
Technical details
Anchor Period Reset: The cumulative calculation resets based on the user-defined Anchor Period (default: daily), keeping data relevant for the chosen trading horizon.
Dynamic Resolution: The script automatically selects an appropriate lower timeframe for data requests based on the chart timeframe to maintain responsiveness and accuracy.
Normalization: Not all exchanges report volume in the same way—some use quote currency (USD), others in contracts or ticks. To ensure comparability, this indicator normalizes volumes where necessary:
Bybit USD and OKX contracts are divided by price to approximate base-coin terms.
Single-contract venues (e.g., Deribit) are normalized similarly.
Exchanges already reporting in the base currency remain unchanged.
Multi-Exchange Coverage: Supports major venues including Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Coinbase, and optional secondary exchanges like Blofin, Whitebit, and Deribit.
Visual Aids:
Zero baseline for directional reference.
Vertical session markers at each reset point.
Optional exchange labels positioned dynamically on the last bar for quick identification.
How traders might use it
Trend confirmation: Strong synchronized CVD across all major exchanges supports continuation; fragmentation may suggest weakening conviction.
Cross-exchange divergence: When one exchange’s CVD diverges from others, it can signal localized liquidity shocks or large player activity.
High-frequency strategies: On lower timeframes, the spaghetti view can highlight which venue is absorbing or providing liquidity fastest, aiding short-term decision-making.

Bearish SMT → NQ makes HH while ES doesn’t.
Bullish SMT → NQ makes LL while ES doesn’t.
SL/TP Helper & R:R Label
• Automatically draws stop loss (at sweep extreme) and target (opposite pool or recent swing).
• Displays expected Risk:Reward ratio and blocks entries if below your chosen minimum.
Filters
• ATR filter ensures signals only appear in sufficient volatility.
• Sweep quality filter avoids weak wicks and fake-outs.
🎯 How to Use
Start on HTF (5m/15m) → Identify liquidity zones and bias.
Drop to LTF (1m) → Wait for a liquidity sweep confirmation.
Check for FVG in the sweep’s direction → Look for retest entry.
Use the SL/TP helper to validate your risk/reward before taking the trade.
Focus entries during NY Killzones for maximum effectiveness.
✅ Why this helps

Vector Sniper Pro What it is
Vector Sniper (Simplified) is a single, original algorithm that flags impulsive “vector” moves only when volatility, volume, and structure align. It is not a mashup of other indicators; everything below is computed from raw OHLCV with a small, transparent ruleset.
⸻
Core idea (signal = force × participation × context)
1. Force (Volatility):
• We z-score true range: trZ = (ATR(1) - SMA(ATR(1), N)) / StDev(ATR(1), N).
• A move must exceed a user-set Volatility Z-Score.
2. Participation (Volume):
• We z-score raw volume: volZ = (Vol - SMA(Vol, N)) / StDev(Vol, N).
• Volume must also exceed a Volume Z-Score.
3. Context (Structure, Body, Imbalance, Traps):
• Body% filter: real body / range ≥ Min Body %.
• Delta-volume proxy: (bullVol − bearVol) / volume, where bullVol = volume*(close−low)/range and bearVol = volume*(high−close)/range. We require positive imbalance for bulls, negative for bears.
• Structure break (optional): price must take out the prior N-bar high/low.
• Trap detection (optional): spring/upthrust patterns defined by lower-low/upper-high followed by a close back inside.
If the above align, you get a Bull Vector (green) or Bear Vector (red). “Extreme” vectors require the same conditions at a higher multiple (Ext Mult).
⸻
Noise control (pre-signal gate)
Before a vector is allowed, a pre-signal score (0–7) must pass:
• Checks include spring/upthrust, no-supply/no-demand, imbalance, volume > average, VWAP side alignment, EMA trend alignment, proximity to structure break, and candle direction.
• You choose a minimum score, persistence (must occur ≥N times inside last M bars), cooldown after a pass, and hysteresis vs the opposite side.
This prevents one-off blips and keeps signals directional.
⸻
Optional confluence
• VWAP alignment: require price on the correct side and VWAP slope with it.
• EMA filter: require EMA trend agreement.
• HTF bias (optional): compare HTF close vs HTF EMA on a selected timeframe.
• Implemented with request.security and no look-ahead; bias updates when the higher timeframe bar closes.
⸻
Visuals & alerts
• Candle colors (5 total):
• Green = Bull Vector, Red = Bear Vector.
• Blue = Pre-Bull, Orange = Pre-Bear.
• Gray = Neutral.
• Markers (optional): diamonds = “Extreme” vectors; small triangles = pre-signals.
• Built-in alerts: Bull Vector, Bear Vector, Extreme Bull/Bear, Pre-Bull, Pre-Bear.
• Add from: Alerts → Condition → this script → choose event.
⸻
How to use (practical)
1. Start with defaults. Turn on VWAP and EMA filters; add HTF bias if you want fewer but cleaner signals.
2. Hunt for alignment: Pre-signal (blue/orange) → Vector (green/red) in the same direction.
3. Use your own risk model for entries/exits; the script does not place orders or compute stops/targets.
⸻
Inputs (plain English)
• ATR/Volume Periods & Z-Scores: sensitivity to volatility/participation.
• Extreme Multiplier: threshold for “Extreme” vectors.
• Structure Break (bars) & Traps: contextual confirms.
• Pre-signal gate: Min Score, Persistence (N in last M), Cooldown, Opposite-side lockout.
• Confluence: VWAP side, EMA trend, optional HTF bias (timeframe + EMA length).
• Visuals: candle painting and markers.
⸻
Design notes / limitations
• Signals evaluate on bar close. Intrabar they can form and cancel; for consistency, trade on closed bars.
• HTF bias is derived from closed HTF bars; no future data is used.
• This is an indicator, not financial advice. Backtest forward and manage risk.
⸻
Why this isn’t a “mashup”:
All components are purposeful and documented: z-score volatility + z-score volume (force & participation), body% and delta-volume (quality), structure & traps (context), and a scored, persistent pre-filter with VWAP/EMA/HTF alignment (noise control).
Wick Pressure Zones [BigBeluga]
The Wick Pressure Zones indicator highlights areas where extreme wick activity occurred, signaling strong buy or sell pressure. By measuring unusually long upper or lower wicks and mapping them into gradient volume zones , the tool helps traders identify levels where liquidity was absorbed, leaving behind footprints of supply and demand imbalances. These zones often act as support, resistance, or liquidity sweep magnets .
🔵 CONCEPTS
Extreme Wicks : Large upper or lower shadows indicate aggressive rejection — upper wicks suggest selling pressure, lower wicks suggest buying pressure.
Volumatic Gradient Zones : From each detected wick, the indicator projects a layered gradient zone, proportional to the wick’s size, showing where most pressure occurred.
Liquidity Footprints : These zones mark levels where significant buy/sell volume was executed, often becoming reaction points on future retests.
Automatic Expiration : Zones persist until price decisively trades through them, after which they are cleared to keep the chart clean.
🔵 FEATURES
Automatic Wick Detection : Identifies extreme upper and lower wick events using percentile filtering and Realative Strength Index.
Gradient Zone Visualization : Builds a 10-layer zone from the wick top/bottom, shading intensity according to pressure strength.
Volume Labels : Each zone is annotated with the bar’s volume at the origin point for added context.
Dynamic Zone Extension : Zones extend to the right as long as they remain relevant; once price closes through them, they are removed.
Support & Resistance Mapping : Upper wick zones (red) behave like supply/resistance, lower wick zones (green) like demand/support.
Clutter Control : Limits the number of active zones (default 10) to keep charts responsive.
Background Highlighting : Optional background shading when new wick zones appear (red for sell, green for buy).
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for Upper Wick Zones (red) : Indicate strong selling pressure; watch for resistance, reversals, or liquidity sweeps above.
Look for Lower Wick Zones (green) : Indicate strong buying pressure; watch for support or liquidity sweeps below.
Trade Retests : When price returns to a zone, expect a reaction (bounce or rejection) due to leftover liquidity.
Combine with Context : Align wick pressure zones with HTF support/resistance, order blocks, or volume profile for stronger signals.
Use Volume Labels : High-volume wicks indicate more significant liquidity events, making the zone more likely to act as a strong reaction point.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Wick Pressure Zones is a powerful way to visualize hidden liquidity and aggressive rejections. By mapping extreme wick events into dynamic, volume-annotated zones, it shows traders where the market absorbed heavy buy/sell pressure. These levels frequently act as magnets or turning points, making them valuable for timing entries, stop placement, or fade strategies.
UDVR + OBV Combo — MTF (v6)The UDVR + OBV Combo is a multi-timeframe volume analysis tool that blends the Up/Down Volume Ratio with a normalized On-Balance Volume signal. It highlights when accumulation or distribution truly supports price action, adds higher-timeframe context, and shades the background when both indicators align. Use it to confirm breakouts, spot divergences, and filter trades with the backing of real volume flows.
1.Up/Down Volume Ratio (UDVR)
•Compares the rolling sum of up-volume (bars where price closed higher) vs down-volume (bars where price closed lower).
•A ratio > 1.0 = more accumulation (bullish pressure).
•A ratio < 1.0 = more distribution (bearish pressure).
•Optional histogram shows deviations from the 1.0 baseline.
•Customizable handling of equal closes (count as up, down, split, or ignore).
•Configurable lookback length and optional EMA smoothing.
2. On-Balance Volume (OBV)
•Classic cumulative OBV implemented natively (adds volume on up-bars, subtracts on down-bars).
•Normalized with a z-score so it can be compared across different symbols/timeframes.
•Includes an EMA signal line for slope detection.
•Alignment of OBV vs its EMA highlights rising or waning participation.
3. Multi-Timeframe Support
•Both UDVR and OBV can be plotted from a higher timeframe (HTF) (e.g. Daily UDVR shown on a 1h chart).
•Lets you see big-money accumulation/distribution while trading intraday.
•Shaded background when current TF and HTF agree (both bullish or both bearish).
How to read it
• Bullish confirmation = UDVR > 1 (accumulation) and OBV above EMA (rising participation).
• Bearish confirmation = UDVR < 1 (distribution) and OBV below EMA (falling participation).
• Mixed signals (e.g. UDVR > 1 but OBV falling) = caution; price may lack conviction.
• Divergences : If price makes a new high but OBV or UDVR does not, it’s a warning of weakening trend.
• Higher timeframe context : set HTF = Daily or Weekly and watch how short-term signals align with institutional flows. A long trade on the 15m chart is stronger when Daily UDVR is also above 1.
Inputs
•UDVR Lookback: number of bars for rolling volume sums.
•Smoothing EMA: smooths UDVR for stability.
•Equal Close Handling: decide how equal closes affect UDVR.
•Signal Band: optional UDVR extreme thresholds.
•Show Histogram: toggle UDVR histogram around baseline.
•Higher Timeframe UDVR: overlay Daily/Weekly UDVR on lower timeframe charts.
•OBV EMA length: slope proxy for normalized OBV.
•OBV Normalization window: controls z-score sensitivity.
•Higher Timeframe OBV: overlay higher timeframe OBV.
Alerts
•UDVR Bullish/Bearish cross at the 1.0 baseline.
•OBV slope up/down when OBV crosses its EMA.
•Alignment signals when UDVR and OBV agree (both confirm bullish or bearish conditions).
Why it’s useful
•Combines trend, momentum, and participation in one place.
•Helps avoid false breakouts by checking if volume supports the move.
•Lets you spot accumulation/distribution shifts before they show up in price.
•Gives a higher timeframe context so you’re not trading against the “big picture.”
Once applied, the indicator creates a dedicated pane below price with the following components:
UDVR Line (green/red)
• Green when UDVR > 1.0 (more up-volume than down-volume → accumulation).
• Red when UDVR < 1.0 (more down-volume → distribution).
UDVR Baseline and Bands
• Grey baseline at 1.0 = balance between buying and selling volume.
• Optional upper/lower bands (default 1.5 and 0.67) highlight extreme imbalances.
• Shaded areas between baseline and bands provide visual context for strength/weakness.
UDVR Histogram (optional)
• Columns around the baseline showing (UDVR – 1.0).
• Quick way to gauge how far above/below balance the ratio is.
Higher-Timeframe UDVR (teal line)
• Overlays the UDVR from a higher timeframe (e.g. Daily) on your intraday chart.
• Lets you see whether institutional flows support your shorter-term signals.
OBV Normalized (blue/orange line)
• Classic OBV, but normalized with a z-score so it stays readable across assets.
• Blue when OBV is above its EMA (rising participation).
• Orange when below its EMA (waning participation).
OBV EMA (grey line)
• Signal line showing the slope of OBV.
• Crosses between OBV and this line mark shifts in participation.
Higher-Timeframe OBV (purple line, optional)
• Plots OBV from a higher timeframe for additional context.
Background Shading
• Light green = both UDVR > 1 and OBV > OBV-EMA (bullish alignment).
• Light red = both UDVR < 1 and OBV < OBV-EMA (bearish alignment).

BOS & MSS: Automatically identifies Breaks of Structure (trend continuation) and Market Structure Shifts (potential reversals) from up to two higher timeframes.
Trade with the Trend: Align your intraday trades with the dominant trend for higher probability setups.
⚙️ How It Works in Simple Terms
1️⃣ It Learns: The indicator first identifies all the past swing points (HH, HL, LL, LH) and analyzes their characteristics (speed, size, etc.).
2️⃣ It Finds a Match: It looks at the most recent price action and searches through hundreds of historical bars to find moments that were almost identical.
3️⃣ It Analyzes the Outcome: It checks what happened next in those similar historical scenarios.
4️⃣ It Predicts: Based on that historical data, it calculates the probability of each potential outcome and presents it to you.
🚀 How to Use This Indicator in Your Trading
Confirmation Tool: Use a high probability score (e.g., >60% for a HH) to confirm your own bullish analysis before entering a trade.
Finding High-Probability Zones: Use the Prediction Zones as potential areas to take profit, or as reversal zones to watch for entries in the opposite direction.
Gauging Market Sentiment: Check the "Market Phase" on the dashboard. Avoid forcing trades when the indicator shows "😴 Low Volatility."
