Volume Profile - BearJust another Volume Profile but you can fit into your chart better by moving back and forth horizontally. also note you can fix the number of bars to show the volume by that way you can use a fib retracment to line up high/low volume nodes with fib levels... see where price as bad structure. or just play with the colors to make a cool gradient?
Volume Profile is a technical analysis tool used by traders to analyze the distribution of trading volume at different price levels within a specified time frame. It helps traders identify key support and resistance levels, potential areas of price reversals, and areas of high trading interest. Here's how to read Volume Profile on a trading chart:
1. **Choose a Time Frame**: Decide on the time frame you want to analyze. Volume Profile can be applied to various time frames, such as daily, hourly, or even minute charts. The choice depends on your trading style and goals.
2. **Plot the Volume Profile**: Once you have your chart open, add the Volume Profile indicator. Most trading platforms offer this tool. It typically appears as a histogram or a series of horizontal bars alongside the price chart.
3. **Identify Key Elements**:
a. **Value Area**: The Value Area represents the price range where the majority of trading volume occurred. It is often divided into three parts: the Point of Control (POC) and the upper and lower value areas. The POC is the price level where the most trading activity occurred and is considered a significant support or resistance level.
b. **High-Volume Nodes**: High-volume nodes are price levels where there was a significant amount of trading volume. These nodes can act as support or resistance levels because they represent areas where many traders had their positions.
c. **Low-Volume Areas**: Conversely, low-volume areas are price levels with little trading activity. These areas may not provide strong support or resistance because they lack significant trader interest.
4. **Interpretation**:
- If the price is trading above the POC and the upper value area, it suggests bullish sentiment, and these levels may act as support.
- If the price is trading below the POC and the lower value area, it suggests bearish sentiment, and these levels may act as resistance.
- High-volume nodes can also act as support or resistance, depending on the price's current position relative to them.
5. **Confirmation**: Volume Profile should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm trading decisions. Consider using trendlines, moving averages, or other price patterns to validate your trading strategy.
6. **Adjust for Different Time Frames**: Keep in mind that Volume Profile analysis can yield different results on different time frames. For example, a support level on a daily chart may not hold on a shorter time frame due to intraday volatility.
7. **Practice and Experience**: Like any trading tool, reading Volume Profile requires practice and experience. Analyze historical charts, paper trade, and refine your strategies over time to gain proficiency.
8. **Stay Informed**: Stay updated with market news and events that can impact trading volume. Sudden news can change the significance of volume levels.

Volume Forecasting [LuxAlgo]The Volume Forecasting indicator provides a forecast of volume by capturing and extrapolating periodic fluctuations. Historical forecasts are also provided to compare the method against volume at time t .
This script will not work on tickers that do not have volume data.
🔶 SETTINGS
Median Memory: Number of days used to compute the median and first/third quartiles.
Forecast Window: Number of bars forecasted in the future.
Auto Forecast Window: Set the forecast window so that the forecast length completes an interval.
🔶 USAGE
The periodic nature of volume on certain securities allows users to more easily forecast using historical volume. The forecast can highlight intervals where volume tends to be more important, that is where most trading activity takes place.
More pronounced periodicity will tend to return more accurate forecasts.
The historical forecast can also highlight intervals where high/low volume is not expected.
The interquartile range is also highlighted, giving an area where we can expect the volume to lie.
🔶 DETAILS
This forecasting method is similar to the time series decomposition method used to obtain the seasonal component.
We first segment the chart over equidistant intervals. Each interval is delimited by a change in the daily timeframe.
To forecast volume at time t+1 we see where the current bar lies in the interval, if the bar is the 78th in interval then the forecast on the next bar is made by taking the median of the 79th bar over N intervals, where N is the median memory.
This method ensures capturing the periodic fluctuation of volume.
Volumetric Support and Resistance [BackQuant]Volumetric Support and Resistance
What this is
This Overlay locates price levels where both structure and participation have been meaningful. It combines classical swing points with a volume filter, then manages those levels on the chart as price evolves. Each level carries:
• A reference price (support or resistance)
• An estimate of the volume that traded around that price
• A touch counter that updates when price retests it
• A visual box whose thickness is scaled by volatility
The result is a concise map of candidate support and resistance that is informed by both price location and how much trading occurred there.
How levels are built
Find structural pivots uses ta.pivothigh and ta.pivotlow with a user set sensitivity. Larger sensitivity looks for broader swings. Smaller sensitivity captures tighter turns.
Require meaningful volume computes an average volume over a lookback period and forms a volume ratio for the current bar. A pivot only becomes a level when the ratio is at least the volume significance multiplier.
Avoid clustering checks a minimum level distance (as a percent of price). If a candidate is too close to an existing level, it is skipped to keep the map readable.
Attach a volume strength to the level estimates volume strength by averaging the volume of recent bars whose high to low range spans that price. Levels with unusually high strength are flagged as high volume.
Store and draw levels are kept in an array with fields for price, type, volume, touches, creation bar, and a box handle. On the last bar, each level is drawn as a horizontal box centered at the price with a vertical thickness scaled by ATR. Borders are thicker when the level is marked high volume. Boxes can extend into the future.
How levels evolve over time
• Aging and pruning : levels are removed if they are too old relative to the lookback or if you exceed the maximum active levels.
• Break detection : a level can be removed when price closes through it by more than a break threshold set as a fraction of ATR. Toggle with Remove Broken Levels.
• Touches : when price approaches within the break threshold, the level’s touch counter increments.
Visual encoding
• Boxes : support boxes are green, resistance boxes are red. Box height uses an ATR based thickness so tolerance scales with volatility. Transparency is fixed in this version. Borders are thicker on high volume levels.
• Volume annotation : show the estimated volume inside the box or as a label at the right. If a level has more than one touch, a suffix like “(2x)” is appended.
• Extension : boxes can extend a fixed number of bars into the future and can be set to extend right.
• High volume bar tint : bars with volume above average × multiplier are tinted green if up and red if down.
Inputs at a glance
Core Settings
• Level Detection Sensitivity — pivot window for swing detection
• Volume Significance Multiplier — minimum volume ratio to accept a pivot
• Lookback Period — window for average volume and maintenance rules
Level Management
• Maximum Active Levels — cap on concurrently drawn levels
• Minimum Level Distance (%) — required spacing between level prices
Visual Settings
• Remove Broken Levels — drop a level once price closes decisively through it
• Show Volume Information on Levels — annotate volume and touches
• Extend Levels to Right — carry boxes forward
Enhanced Visual Settings
• Show Volume Text Inside Box — text placement option
• Volume Based Transparency and Volume Based Border Thickness — helper logic provided; current draw block fixes transparency and increases border width on high volume levels
Colors
• Separate colors for support, resistance, and their high volume variants
How it can be used
• Trade planning : use the most recent support and resistance as reference zones for entries, profit taking, or stop placement. ATR scaled thickness provides a practical buffer.
• Context for patterns : combine with breakouts, pullbacks, or candle patterns. A breakout through a high volume resistance carries more informational weight than one through a thin level.
• Prioritization : when multiple levels are nearby, prefer high volume or higher touch counts.
• Regime adaptation : widen sensitivity and increase minimum distance in fast regimes to avoid clutter. Tighten them in calm regimes to capture more granularity.
Why volume support and resistance is used in trading
Support and resistance relate to willingness to transact at certain prices. Volume measures participation. When many contracts change hands near a price:
• More market players hold inventory there, often creating responsive behavior on retests
• Order flow can concentrate again to defend or to exit
• Breaks can be cleaner as trapped inventory rebalances
Conditioning level detection on above average activity focuses attention on prices that mattered to more participants.
Alerts
• New Support Level Created
• New Resistance Level Created
• Level Touch Alert
• Level Break Alert
Strengths
• Dual filter of structure and participation, reducing trivial swing points
• Self cleaning map that retires old or invalid levels
• Volatility aware presentation using ATR based thickness
• Touch counting for persistence assessment
• Tunable inputs for instrument and timeframe
Limitations and caveats
• Volume strength is an approximation based on bars spanning the price, not true per price volume
• Pivots confirm after the sensitivity window completes, so new levels appear with a delay
• Narrow ranges can still cluster levels unless minimum distance is increased
• Large gaps may jump past levels and immediately trigger break conditions
Practical tuning guide
• If the chart is crowded: increase sensitivity, increase minimum level distance, or reduce maximum active levels
• If useful levels are missed: reduce volume multiplier or sensitivity
• If you want stricter break removal: increase the ATR based break threshold in code
• For instruments with session patterns: tailor the lookback period to a representative window
Interpreting touches and breaks
• First touch after creation is a validation test
• Multiple shallow touches suggest absorption; a later break may then travel farther
• Breaks on high current volume merit extra attention
Multi timeframe usage
Levels are computed on the active chart timeframe. A common workflow is to keep a higher timeframe instance for structure and a lower timeframe instance for execution. Align trades with higher timeframe levels where possible.
Final Thoughts
This indicator builds a lightweight, self updating map of support and resistance grounded in swings and participation. It is not a full market profile, but it captures much of the practical benefit with modest complexity. Treat levels as context and decision zones, not guarantees. Combine with your entry logic and risk controls.
Stef's Dollar Volume CounterStef's Dollar Volume Counter is my second script that I've worked on and coded. I am proud of this script because it does something very, very important: it counts the AMOUNT of money traded, not just the amount shares/contracts traded. This is key for understanding where the big and small money is.
This script is totally different from other Volume scripts because it shows the amount of money traded, NOT the shares/contracts/coins etc. Also, more importantly, it is different from other volume indicators in the same space because this script is specifically focused on showcasing specific dollar volume amounts either as a table or as a label.
Here are the 5 key features you can utilize with this:
1. Customizable Gradient Colors for BIG money and SMALL money: Visually distinguishes between high and low dollar volumes. Change the colors as needed in the indicator settings menu.
2. Dollar Volume Counter Table: Positioned at the bottom right of the chart, this table provides quick insights into the highest, lowest, and average dollar volumes over a specified period. You can customize the time period in the settings menu.
3. "Wow! Much Money!" Labels: Highlights the top three recent highest dollar volumes within the visible chart area, emphasizing significant trading periods. Also, it's hilarious :)
4. Customize the period for volume analysis, ranging from 1 to 12 months or more, with the selected timeframe displayed in the table.
5. It opens as a new pane below the chart so that you can still analyze price and more, as needed.
Thanks for reading! I look forward to hearing your feedback. This script will be updated to expand on more concepts and I'll add some cool features soon.
Significant Volume with Price Changes HighlightedSignificant Volume with Price Changes Highlighted
The "Significant Volume with Price Changes Highlighted" indicator by PappyTrading is a powerful tool designed to help traders identify significant volume spikes and price changes in the market. This indicator overlays the volume bars on the price chart and highlights them based on specific volume and price change conditions, providing a clear visual representation of market activity.
What It Does
This indicator calculates the moving average of the volume over a specified period and compares the current volume to this average. It also calculates the daily percentage change relative to the previous day's close and compares this to its moving average. The volume bars are then color-coded based on the following conditions:
Bright Green (#089981): Indicates a significant volume spike with an above-average price increase.
Bright Red (#f23645): Indicates a significant volume spike with an above-average price decrease.
Green with 60% transparency: Indicates a normal up day with a price increase but not a significant volume spike.
Red with 60% transparency: Indicates a normal down day with a price decrease but not a significant volume spike.
Additionally, the indicator plots a 20-period simple moving average (SMA) of the volume, providing a reference point to understand the general volume trend.
How It Works
Volume Calculation:
The indicator calculates the 20-period SMA of the volume and compares the current volume to this average to determine if there is a significant volume spike.
Price Change Calculation:
The indicator calculates the daily percentage change in price relative to the previous day's close and compares this to the 20-period SMA of the percentage change to identify significant price movements.
Color Coding:
The volume bars are color-coded based on the combination of the volume and price change conditions. This visual representation allows traders to quickly identify significant market activities.
How to Use It
Overlay on Chart:
Add the "Significant Volume with Price Changes Highlighted" indicator to your chart. The volume bars will be displayed at the bottom of the chart, color-coded based on the conditions described above.
Identify Market Activity:
Use the color-coded volume bars to identify significant market activities. Bright green bars indicate strong buying pressure, while bright red bars indicate strong selling pressure. Transparent green and red bars indicate normal market activity without significant volume spikes.
Volume Moving Average:
The blue line represents the 20-period SMA of the volume. Use this as a reference to understand the general volume trend and identify deviations from the average.
Concepts Underlying the Calculations
Volume Spikes: Significant volume spikes often precede or accompany major market moves. By highlighting these spikes, traders can gain insights into potential market turning points or continuation patterns.
Price Changes: Large price changes relative to the previous day's close indicate strong market momentum. By comparing these changes to their moving average, the indicator helps traders identify unusually strong buying or selling pressure.
This indicator is ideal for traders who want to gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics by analyzing volume and price changes together. It is suitable for various trading styles, including trend following, swing trading, and scalping.
Volume and Price Z-Score [Multi-Asset] - By LeviathanThis script offers in-depth Z-Score analytics on price and volume for 200 symbols. Utilizing visualizations such as scatter plots, histograms, and heatmaps, it enables traders to uncover potential trade opportunities, discern market dynamics, pinpoint outliers, delve into the relationship between price and volume, and much more.
A Z-Score is a statistical measurement indicating the number of standard deviations a data point deviates from the dataset's mean. Essentially, it provides insight into a value's relative position within a group of values (mean).
- A Z-Score of zero means the data point is exactly at the mean.
- A positive Z-Score indicates the data point is above the mean.
- A negative Z-Score indicates the data point is below the mean.
For instance, a Z-Score of 1 indicates that the data point is 1 standard deviation above the mean, while a Z-Score of -1 indicates that the data point is 1 standard deviation below the mean. In simple terms, the more extreme the Z-Score of a data point, the more “unusual” it is within a larger context.
If data is normally distributed, the following properties can be observed:
- About 68% of the data will lie within ±1 standard deviation (z-score between -1 and 1).
- About 95% will lie within ±2 standard deviations (z-score between -2 and 2).
- About 99.7% will lie within ±3 standard deviations (z-score between -3 and 3).
Datasets like price and volume (in this context) are most often not normally distributed. While the interpretation in terms of percentage of data lying within certain ranges of z-scores (like the ones mentioned above) won't hold, the z-score can still be a useful measure of how "unusual" a data point is relative to the mean.
The aim of this indicator is to offer a unique way of screening the market for trading opportunities by conveniently visualizing where current volume and price activity stands in relation to the average. It also offers features to observe the convergent/divergent relationships between asset’s price movement and volume, observe a single symbol’s activity compared to the wider market activity and much more.
Here is an overview of a few important settings.
Z-SCORE TYPE
◽️ Z-Score Type: Current Z-Score
Calculates the z-score by comparing current bar’s price and volume data to the mean (moving average with any custom length, default is 20 bars). This indicates how much the current bar’s price and volume data deviates from the average over the specified period. A positive z-score suggests that the current bar's price or volume is above the mean of the last 20 bars (or the custom length set by the user), while a negative z-score means it's below that mean.
Example: Consider an asset whose current price and volume both show deviations from their 20-bar averages. If the price's Z-Score is +1.5 and the volume's Z-Score is +2.0, it means the asset's price is 1.5 standard deviations above its average, and its trading volume is 2 standard deviations above its average. This might suggest a significant upward move with strong trading activity.
◽️ Z-Score Type: Average Z-Score
Calculates the custom-length average of symbol's z-score. Think of it as a smoothed version of the Current Z-Score. Instead of just looking at the z-score calculated on the latest bar, it considers the average behavior over the last few bars. By doing this, it helps reduce sudden jumps and gives a clearer, steadier view of the market.
Example: Instead of a single bar, imagine the average price and volume of an asset over the last 5 bars. If the price's 5-bar average Z-Score is +1.0 and the volume's is +1.5, it tells us that, over these recent bars, both the price and volume have been consistently above their longer-term averages, indicating sustained increase.
◽️ Z-Score Type: Relative Z-Score
Calculates a relative z-score by comparing symbol’s current bar z-score to the mean (average z-score of all symbols in the group). This is essentially a z-score of a z-score, and it helps in understanding how a particular symbol's activity stands out not just in its own historical context, but also in relation to the broader set of symbols being analyzed. In other words, while the primary z-score tells you how unusual a bar's activity is for that specific symbol, the relative z-score informs you how that "unusualness" ranks when compared to the entire group's deviations. This can be particularly useful in identifying symbols that are outliers even among outliers, indicating exceptionally unique behaviors or opportunities.
Example: If one asset's price Z-Score is +2.5 and volume Z-Score is +3.0, but the group's average Z-Scores are +0.5 for price and +1.0 for volume, this asset’s Relative Z-Score would be high and therefore stand out. This means that asset's price and volume activities are notably high, not just by its own standards, but also when compared to other symbols in the group.
DISPLAY TYPE
◽️ Display Type: Scatter Plot
The Scatter Plot is a visual tool designed to represent values for two variables, in this case the Z-Scores of price and volume for multiple symbols. Each symbol has it's own dot with x and y coordinates:
X-Axis: Represents the Z-Score of price. A symbol further to the right indicates a higher positive deviation in its price from its average, while a symbol to the left indicates a negative deviation.
Y-Axis: Represents the Z-Score of volume. A symbol positioned higher up on the plot suggests a higher positive deviation in its trading volume from its average, while one lower down indicates a negative deviation.
Here are some guideline insights of plot positioning:
- Top-Right Quadrant (High Volume-High Price): Symbols in this quadrant indicate a scenario where both the trading volume and price are higher than their respective mean.
- Top-Left Quadrant (High Volume-Low Price): Symbols here reflect high trading volumes but prices lower than the mean.
- Bottom-Left Quadrant (Low Volume-Low Price): Assets in this quadrant have both low trading volume and price compared to their mean.
- Bottom-Right Quadrant (Low Volume-High Price): Symbols positioned here have prices that are higher than their mean, but the trading volume is low compared to the mean.
The plot also integrates a set of concentric squares which serve as visual guides:
- 1st Square (1SD): Encapsulates symbols that have Z-Scores within ±1 standard deviation for both price and volume. Symbols within this square are typically considered to be displaying normal behavior or within expected range.
- 2nd Square (2SD): Encapsulates those with Z-Scores within ±2 standard deviations. Symbols within this boundary, but outside the 1 SD square, indicate a moderate deviation from the norm.
- 3rd Square (3SD): Represents symbols with Z-Scores within ±3 standard deviations. Any symbol outside this square is deemed to be a significant outlier, exhibiting extreme behavior in terms of either its price, its volume, or both.
By assessing the position of symbols relative to these squares, traders can swiftly identify which assets are behaving typically and which are showing unusual activity. This visualization simplifies the process of spotting potential outliers or unique trading opportunities within the market. The farther a symbol is from the center, the more it deviates from its typical behavior.
◽️ Display Type: Columns
In this visualization, z-scores are represented using columns, where each symbol is presented horizontally. Each symbol has two distinct nodes:
- Left Node: Represents the z-score of volume.
- Right Node: Represents the z-score of price.
The height of these nodes can vary along the y-axis between -4 and 4, based on the z-score value:
- Large Positive Columns: Signify a high or positive z-score, indicating that the price or volume is significantly above its average.
- Large Negative Columns: Represent a low or negative z-score, suggesting that the price or volume is considerably below its average.
- Short Columns Near 0: Indicate that the price or volume is close to its mean, showcasing minimal deviation.
This columnar representation provides a clear, intuitive view of how each symbol's price and volume deviate from their respective averages.
◽️ Display Type: Circles
In this visualization style, z-scores are depicted using circles. Each symbol is horizontally aligned and represented by:
- Solid Circle: Represents the z-score of price.
- Transparent Circle: Represents the z-score of volume.
The vertical position of these circles on the y-axis ranges between -4 and 4, reflecting the z-score value:
- Circles Near the Top: Indicate a high or positive z-score, suggesting the price or volume is well above its average.
- Circles Near the Bottom: Represent a low or negative z-score, pointing to the price or volume being notably below its average.
- Circles Around the Midline (0): Highlight that the price or volume is close to its mean, with minimal deviation.
◽️ Display Type: Delta Columns
There's also an option to utilize Z-Score Delta Columns. For each symbol, a single column is presented, depicting the difference between the z-score of price and the z-score of volume.
The z-score delta essentially captures the disparity between how much the price and volume deviate from their respective mean:
- Positive Delta: Indicates that the z-score of price is greater than the z-score of volume. This suggests that the price has deviated more from its average than the volume has from its own average. Such a scenario could point to price movements being more significant or pronounced compared to the changes in volume.
- Negative Delta: Represents that the z-score of volume is higher than the z-score of price. This might mean that there are substantial volume changes, yet the price hasn't moved as dramatically. This can be indicative of potential build-up in trading interest without an equivalent impact on price.
- Delta Close to 0: Means that the z-scores for price and volume are almost equal, indicating their deviations from the average are in sync.
◽️ Display Type: Z-Volume/Z-Price Heatmap
This visualization offers a heatmap either for volume z-scores or price z-scores across all symbols. Here's how it's presented:
Each symbol is allocated its own horizontal row. Within this row, bar-by-bar data is displayed using a color gradient to represent the z-score values. The heatmap employs a user-defined gradient scale, where a chosen "cold" color represents low z-scores and a chosen "hot" color signifies high z-scores. As the z-score increases or decreases, the colors transition smoothly along this gradient, providing an intuitive visual indication of the z-score's magnitude.
- Cold Colors: Indicate values significantly below the mean (negative z-score)
- Mild Colors: Represent values close to the mean, suggesting minimal deviation.
- Hot Colors: Indicate values significantly above the mean (positive z-score)
This heatmap format provides a rapid, visually impactful means to discern how each symbol's price or volume is behaving relative to its average. The color-coded rows allow you to quickly spot outliers.
VOLUME TYPE
The "Volume Type" input allows you to choose the nature of volume data that will be factored into the volume z-score calculation. The interpretation of indicator’s data changes based on this input. You can opt between:
- Volume (Regular Volume): This is the classic measure of trading volume, which represents the volume traded in a given time period - bar.
- OBV (On-Balance Volume): OBV is a momentum indicator that accumulates volume on up bars and subtracts it on down bars, making it a cumulative indicator that sort of measures buying and selling pressure.
Interpretation Implications:
- For Volume Type: Regular Volume:
Positive Z-Score: Indicates that the trading volume is above its average, meaning there's unusually high trading activity .
Negative Z-Score: Suggests that the trading volume is below its average, signifying unusually low trading activity.
- For Volume Type: OBV:
Positive Z-Score: Signifies that “buying pressure” is above its average.
Negative Z-Score: Signifies that “selling pressure” is above its average.
When comparing Z-Score of OBV to Z-Score of price, we can observe several scenarios. If Z-Price and Z-Volume are convergent (have similar z-scores), we can say that the directional price movement is supported by volume. If Z-Price and Z-Volume are divergent (have very different z-scores or one of them being zero), it suggests a potential misalignment between price movement and volume support, which might hint at possible reversals or weakness.
Volumetric Toolkit [LuxAlgo]The Volumetric Toolkit is a complete and comprehensive set of tools that display price action-related analysis methods from volume data.
A total of 4 features are included within the toolkit. Symbols that do not include volume data will not be supported by the script.
🔶 USAGE
The volumetric toolkit puts a heavy focus on price action, returning support/resistance levels, ranges, volume divergences...etc.
The main premise between each feature is that volume has a direct relationship with market participants level of interest over a specific symbol, and that this interest is not constant over time.
Each individual feature is detailed below.
🔹 Ranges Of Interest
The Ranges Of Interest construct a range from a surge of high liquidity in the market. This range is constructed from the price high and price low of the candle with the associated significant liquidity.
The returned extremities can be used as support and resistance, with breakouts often being accompanied by significant liquidity as well, suggesting potential trend continuations.
The length setting associated with this feature determines how sensitive the range detection algorithm is to volume, with higher values requiring more significant volume in order to display a new range.
🔹 Impulses
Impulses highlight times when volume makes a new higher high while the price makes a new higher high or lower low, suggesting increased market participation.
When this occurs when the price makes a new higher high the impulse is considered bullish (green), if the price makes a new lower low the impulse is bearish (red).
Impulses occurring within an established trend opposite to it (e.g a bearish impulse on an uptrend) might be indicative of reversals.
The length setting works similarly to the previously described ranges of interest, with higher values requiring longer-term volume higher high and price higher high/lower low, highlighting more significant impulse and potentially longer-term reversals.
🔹 Levels Of Interest
Levels of interest display price levels of significant trading activity, contrary to the range of interest only the closing price is taken into account, also volume peaks are used to detect significant trading activity.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.
Users can determine the amount of most recent levels to display on the chart. These can be used as classical support/resistances.
🔹 Volume Divergence
We define volume divergence as a decreased market participation while a trend is still developing.
More precisely volume divergences are highlighted if volume makes a lower high while price is making a new higher high/lower low.
This can be indicative of a lack of further participation in the current trend, indicating a potential reversal.
Using higher length values will return longer-term divergences.
Note that this feature is subject to backpainting, that is lines are set retrospectively.

Volume Channel - [With Volume Filter]The indicator calculates two volume-weighted moving averages (VWMA) using different lengths, and filters them based on a moving average of volume. The filtered VWMA values are then plotted on the chart as lines, representing the fast and slow moving averages. In addition, upper and lower bands are calculated based on the slow VWMA and plotted as lines on the chart.
The fast and slow VWMA lines can be used to identify trends in the market. When the fast VWMA is above the slow VWMA, it is an indication of an uptrend, and when the fast VWMA is below the slow VWMA, it is an indication of a downtrend. The position of the VWMA lines relative to the upper and lower bands can also be used to identify potential trade signals.
When the price is near the upper band, it indicates that the market is overbought, and when the price is near the lower band, it indicates that the market is oversold. Traders can use these signals to enter or exit trades.
The indicator also includes a volume filter, which means that the VWMA values are only calculated when the volume is above a certain moving average of volume. This helps to filter out noise in the market and provide more accurate signals.
Explanation for each parameter
vwmaLength1: This is the length of the fast volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) used in the calculation. The default value is 10, and it can be adjusted by the user.
vwmaLength2: This is the length of the slow volume-weighted moving average (VWMA) used in the calculation. The default value is 25, and it can be adjusted by the user.
bandLength: This is the length of the moving average used to calculate the upper and lower bands. The default value is 34, and it is not adjustable by the user.
volumeFilterLength: This is the length of the moving average of volume used as a filter for the VWMA calculation. The default value is 5, and it can be adjusted by the user.
src: This is the input source for the VWMA calculation. The default value is close, which means the indicator is using the closing price of each bar. However, the user can select a different input source by changing this parameter.
filteredVwma1: This is the filtered VWMA calculated based on the volume filter and the fast VWMA length. It is plotted as a line on the chart and can be used to identify short-term trends.
filteredVwma2: This is the filtered VWMA calculated based on the volume filter and the slow VWMA length. It is plotted as a line on the chart and can be used to identify long-term trends.
ma: This is the moving average of the filtered slow VWMA values, which is used to calculate the upper and lower bands. It is plotted as a line on the chart.
offs: This is the offset used to calculate the upper and lower bands. It is based on the standard deviation of the filtered slow VWMA values and is multiplied by 1.6185 * 3. It is plotted as a line on the chart.
up: This is the upper band calculated as the moving average plus the offset. It is plotted as a line on the chart and can be used to identify overbought conditions.
dn: This is the lower band calculated as the moving average minus the offset. It is plotted as a line on the chart and can be used to identify oversold conditions.
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.

Volume Width Based Candles
Overview
This indicator reimagines traditional candlestick charts by adjusting the horizontal width of each candle based on the bar’s trading volume. In other words, candles with higher volume appear wider, while those with lower volume are drawn narrower. This extra visual dimension can help traders quickly identify bars with significant volume relative to a defined lookback period.
Key Components
Volume Normalization:
The script calculates the highest volume over a user-defined lookback period (default is 100 bars).
Each bar’s volume is then normalized by dividing it by this maximum value. The result is a value between 0 and 1 that represents how the current volume compares to the maximum over the lookback.
Variable Candle Width Calculation:
A base multiplier (default set to 0.4) is used to control how much the volume influences the candle width.
The normalized volume is multiplied by this multiplier to compute an offset value.
Instead of using timestamps (which could lead to drawing objects too far into the future), the script uses the bar_index (the sequential index of bars) to determine the left and right positions of each candle.
The left and right x–positions are calculated by subtracting and adding the offset from the current bar index, respectively.
Candle Body & Wick Drawing:
Candle Body:
The body is drawn using box.new as a rectangle.
The top and bottom of the box are determined by the higher and lower values of the open and close prices.
The color of the candle is set based on whether the bar is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
Wicks:
The upper wick is drawn from the high of the bar down to the top of the body.
The lower wick is drawn from the low up to the bottom of the body.
These are created using line.new at the current bar index.
Handling Edge Cases:
The indicator includes conditions to avoid drawing errors on the very first bar (or any bar where prior data is unavailable).
It also converts the calculated x–coordinates (which are derived from the bar index plus a floating point offset) to integers since box.new requires integer values for positioning.
What It Tells the Trader
Volume Visualization:
Wider candles indicate bars where trading volume is high relative to recent history, potentially highlighting periods of increased market activity.
Narrower candles suggest lower volume, which can signal less interest or participation during that bar.
Contextual Price Action:
By integrating volume into the visual representation of each candle, traders get an immediate sense of the strength behind price movements.
This can be particularly useful for spotting potential breakouts, reversals, or confirming trends when analyzed alongside traditional price-based indicators.
Customization Options
Volume Lookback Period:
You can adjust the number of bars considered when determining the maximum volume. A shorter period may be more responsive to recent changes, while a longer period provides a broader context.
Base Width Multiplier:
Adjusting this multiplier changes how pronounced the effect of volume is on the candle’s width. Increasing it will make high-volume candles even wider, and decreasing it will reduce the difference between high and low volume candles.
Final Thoughts
This indicator is a creative way to overlay volume information directly onto the price chart without the need for separate volume bars. It provides an at-a-glance understanding of market activity and can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, especially for those who prefer visual cues integrated with price action. However, due to limitations (like the maximum number of drawn boxes), it’s best used on charts with a moderate amount of historical data or with appropriate adjustments to manage performance.
High Volume AlertThe High Volume Alert Script is developed for all traders focusing on volume analysis in their trading strategies, providing alerts for unusually high trading volumes during specified trading sessions.
Functionality:
Volume Moving Average Calculation:
Average Volume = Moving Average(Volume) = Sum of last the x last candles Volume
Where n is the user-defined period for the moving average calculation (denoted as movingaverageinput in the script. This moving average serves as the baseline to compare current volume levels against historical averages.
High Volume Detection:
HighVolume = CurrentVolume >= (MA(Volume) x HighVolumeRatio)
Here, HighVolumeRatio is a user-defined multiplier that sets the threshold for what is considered high volume. If the current volume exceeds this threshold (the product of the moving average of volume and the HighVolumeRatio ), the script identifies this as a high-volume event.
Session Filtering:
The script further refines these alerts by ensuring they only trigger during the specified trading session, enhancing relevance for traders interested in specific market hours. This session is defined by the sess and timezone parameters.
Visualisation and Alerts:
If high volume is detected (HighVolume = True), the script colors the volume bar with the highVolumeColor . If the option is selected, it also changes the color of the candlestick to either highVolumeCandleColorUp (for bullish candles) or highVolumeCandleColorDown (for bearish candles), depending on the price movement within the high-volume period. An alert is generated through the alertcondition function when high volume is detected during the specified session, notifying the trader of potentially significant market activity.
Application in Trading:
This indicator serves traders who prioritize volume as a leading indicator of potential price movement. High trading volumes may indicate the presence of significant market activity, often associated with events like news releases, market openings, or large trades, which can precede price movements.
Originality and Practicality:
This script is self-developed, aiming to fill the gap in automatic ratio adjusted volume alerts within the TradingView environment.
Conclusion:
The High Volume Alert Script is an essential tool for traders who integrate volume analysis into their strategy, offering tailored alerts and visual cues for high volume periods.
Compliance and Limitations:
The script complies with TradingView scripting standards, ensuring no lookahead bias and maintaining real-time data integrity. However, its utility depends on the availability on volume data, and please be aware that forex pairs never offer real volume data, this tool is best used with a exchange traded symbol.
VSA Volume Spread AnalysisVolume Spread Analysis with Trend Direction is an indicator designed to Identify trend based volume spread.
Volume
Spread
Trend
This is a very simple yet powerful to identify Trend and corresponding volume Breakout. Unlike other Volume Indicators this indicator detects Breakout along with trend direction. One can detect the Early breakout in volume using this indicator. The Buy or Sell Signal is based on zero crossing of the Histogram.
Trend direction is confirmed using the MA of the Histogram which is similar to the Volume MA on volume indicator. One can enter a trade using the indicator when Trend direction and histogram are in same direction. Entry is done when ever histogram crosses the Trend MA line.
Fake entries can be eliminated by changing the indicator to higher Timeframe.
Spread is determined using the difference in open and close of the candle
Volume change is determined using the ratio of change of volume to previous volume
EMA 10 is used to determine the Spread and multiplied by volume change so the
PRICE(ema10), Volume, Spread(close-open) are merged to one indicator.
Direction changes when ever difference of VSA is positive or negative.
Bitcoin Aggregated Volume Profile «NoaTrader»If you use volume profile for analyzing Bitcoin, you may know that sometimes the decisions of big CEXs like Binance can change the volume of each symbol and so the analysis perceived from the data (which may not be valid anymore); Like when Binance decided to transfer the free transaction fee promotion from BTCUSDT to BTCTUSD pair or the new introduced BTCFDUSD pair with volume market share as much as BTCTUSD after only 1 month (according to the coinmarketcap's data).
This indicator tries to solve that problem for using volume profile. So, it collects all the volumes of different pairs from different exchanges and then uses all of them to calculate the volume profile.
Also, there is an option to compare the current symbols volume to the whole volume profile which is a Boolean option in the settings (the picture above)
The aggregated volume data includes:
BINANCE:BTCUSDT
BINANCE:BTCTUSD
BINANCE:BTCBUSD

* Moving Average Period: The moving average period used to generate the moving average line for the bar chart. Default=14
* Dot Size: The size of the dot that indicates when the moving average of the CVD is breached. Default=10
* Dot Transparency: The transparency of the dot that indicates when the moving average of the CVD is breached. Default=50
* EMA: The exponential moving average that the price must break through, in addition to the CVD moving
* Accumulation Length: Period used to generate the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for the bar chart. Default=14
Introduction
Velocity = Change in Position over time
Acceleration = Change in Velocity over time
For this indicator, Position is synonymous with the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) value. What the indicator attempts to do is to determine when the rate of acceleration of buying or selling volume is changing in either or buying or selling direction in a meaningful way.
Calculations
The CVD, upon which these changes is calculated using candle bodies and wicks. For a red candle, buying volume is calculated by multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks, while Selling Volume is calculated multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks - in addition to the spread percentage of the candle body.
For a green candle, buying volume is calculated by multiplying the volume by the spread percentage of the average of the top and bottom wicks - plus the spread percentage of the candle body - while Selling Volume is calculated using only the spread percentage average of the top and bottom wicks.
How to Interpret
The difference between the buying volume and selling volume is the source of what generates the red and green bars on the indicator. But, more specifically, this indicator uses an exponential moving average of these volumes (14 EMA by default) to determine that actual bar size. The change in this value indicates the velocity of volume and, ultimately, the red and green bars on the indicator.
- When the bar height is zero, that means that there is no velocity, which indicates either a balance between buyers and sellers, or very little volume.
- When the bar height remains largely unchanged from period to period - and not zero - it means that the velocity of volume is constant in one direction. That direction is indicated by the color of the bar. Buyers are dominating when the bars are green, and sellers are dominating when the bars are red.
- When the bar height increases, regardless of bar color, it means that volume is accelerating in a buying direction.
- When the bar height decreases, regardless of bar color, it means that volume is accelerating in a selling direction.
The white line represents the moving average of the bar values, while the red and white - and green and white - dots show when the moving average has been breached by the Cumulative Volume Delta value AND the price has broken the 7 EMA (which is user editable). As with most moving averages, a breach can indicate a move in a bearish or bullish direction, and the sensitivity can be adjusted for differing market conditions
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
For better use of the signal, consider the following,
1. Volume moving below the moving average can indicate that the volume may be ready to exit an overbought condition, especially if the bars were making lower highs prior to the signal - regardless of bar color.
3. Volume moving above the moving average can indicate that the volume may be ready to exit an oversold condition, especially if the bars were making higher lows prior to the signal - regardless of bar color.
Additionally, a green dot that occurs with a positive (green) Cumulative Volume Delta can indicate a buying condition, while a red dot that occurs with a negative (red) Cumulative Volume Delta can indicate a selling condition. What this means is that buying or selling momentum briefly went against the direction of buying or selling Cumulative Volume Delta , but was not strong enough to change the buying or selling direction. In cases like this, once the volume begins to accelerate again in the direction of the buying or selling volume - indicated by a red or green dot - then the price is more likely to favor the direction of the Cumulative Volume Delta and its corresponding acceleration.
Although a red or green signal can indicate a change in direction, this script cannot predict the magnitude or duration of the change. It is best used with accompanying indicators that can be used to confirm a direction change, such as a moving average, or a supply or demand range.
1 min Volume Flow Indicator (VFI) with EMA ribbonOriginally Markos Katsanos' indicator that LazyBear made popular here on TW. Now updated to Pine Script version 5, which makes multi-timeframe charting easier.
The initial Katsanos' idea for the indicator is the following:
"The VFI is based on the popular On Balance Volume (OBV) but with three very important modifications:
Unlike the OBV, indicator values are no longer meaningless. Positive readings are bullish and negative bearish.
The calculation is based on the day’s median instead of the closing price.
A volatility threshold takes into account minimal price changes and another threshold eliminates excessive volume. ...
A simplified interpretation of the VFI is that values above zero indicate a bullish state and the crossing of the zero line is the trigger or buy signal.
The strongest signal with all money flow indicators is of course divergence.
The classic form of divergence is when the indicator refuses to follow the price action and makes lower highs while price makes higher highs (negative divergence). If price reaches a new low but the indicator fails to do so, then price probably traveled lower than it should have. In this instance, you have positive divergence."
I set up default settings for intraday trading I personally have found the most useful. And what I have found useful is how and which volume flows in and out on 1 min chart. For 1 min volume flow I find it convenient to have specific EMAs as guidance: 360, 720, 1440, 2160, 2880, 3600, 4320 -- the logic is derived from how many minutes there are per specific hours and days. Since short term trends typically last for three days, 1440 and 4320 EMAs are the ones I myself concentrate the most. That is to say, quite often 1min volume flow pivots around 1440 and 4320 EMAs.
If you want to see 1 min volume flow on some other timeframe than 1 min, change the timeframe in the settings.
Swing Volume Profiles [LuxAlgo]The Swing Volume Profiles indicator aims to calculate and highlight trading activity at specific price levels between two swing points; allowing traders to reveal dominant and/or significant price levels based on volume.
By measuring traded volume at all price levels in the market over a specified time period, the script can also be used to detect some key analysis generally such as supply & demand, buy-side & sell-side liquidity levels, unfilled liquidity voids, and imbalances that can highlight on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
A volume profile is an advanced charting tool that displays the traded volume at different price levels over a specific period. It helps you visualize where the majority of trading activity has occurred.
Key Levels are the areas where the volume is concentrated or where there are significant volume spikes. These levels are known as key support and resistance levels. High-volume nodes indicate areas of high activity and are likely to act as support or resistance in the future.
Volume profile also helps identify value areas, which represent the price levels where the most trading activity has taken place. These levels can act as areas of support or resistance as traders perceive them as fair value.
The Point of Control describes the price level where the most volume was traded. A Naked Point of Control (also called a Virgin Point of Control) is a previous POC that has not been traded. Extending PoC options 'Until Bar Cross' or 'Until Bar Touch' helps in identifying Naked Point of Control Lines.
Previous PoC levels can serve as support and resistance for future price movements. Extending PoC Level 'Until Last Bar' option will help to identify such levels.
🔶 DETAILS
One of the unique features of the script is its ability to detect some other key levels such as levels of acceptance and rejection.
Levels of rejection we may summarize as supply and demand levels, these are also referred to as buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels. They usually occur at extreme highs or lows, where prices may be too high for buyers (high supply, low demand) or too low for sellers (low supply, high demand)
Levels of acceptance are the levels where Liquidity Voids occur, these are also referred to imbalances. Liquidity voids are sudden changes in price when the price jumps from one level to another. The peculiar thing about liquidity voids is that they almost always fill up, so we call them levels of acceptance.
🔶 ALERTS
When an alert is configured, the user will have the ability to be notified in case:
Point Of Control Line is touched/crossed
Value Area High Line is touched/crossed
Value Area Low Line is touched/crossed

Volume Price Balance by serkany88This idea has been in my mind for a while. We all know how important volume is to technical analysis but volume and price itself doesn't mean much when volatility and momentum of the current trend is not taken into account. With this oscillator we try to combine all these factors into one indicator and provide a simplified interpretation of this relationship with spread analysis. This indicator can be used in all timeframes but higher timeframes like 1 hour and above will provide most stable results.
How it works?
This oscillator tries to analyze volume spread along with price spread based on wyckoff methods and attains certain "strength value" for each candle and it's relationship with the volume. After this calculation preferably we remove detected rejection candles from overall calculation and draw them as plots. The multipliers of the strengths can be changed from the settings.
Green Line Above Red Line = Bullish momentum stronger
Red Line Above Green Line = Bearish momentum stronger
Top circles mean possible bullish reversal candle detected. Gray is weak, White is normal and Red top circle means strong possible reversal detected.
Bottom circles mean possible bearish reversal candle detected. Gray is weak, White is normal and Green bottom circle means strong possible reversal detected.
Let's check the example below
As you can see we see a green dot appear in a somewhat weakening bullish momentum, this can mean possible reversal can happen soon and it does.
Below is a bearish example
In this example we see a possible strong reversal signal in a increasing bullish momentum and the price reacts immediately after the candle.
We also have a table that shows the current non-smoothed result of trend strength based on calculated price-volume spread at top right of the oscillator.
Time & volume point of control / quantifytoolsWhat are TPOC & VPOC?
TPOC (time point of control) and VPOC (volume point of control) are points in price where highest amount of time/volume was traded. This is considered key information in a market profile, as it shows where market participant interest was highest. Unlike full fledged market profile that shows total time/volume distribution, this script shows the points of control for each candle, plotted with a line (time) and a dot (volume). The script hides your candles/bars by default and forms a line in the middle representing candle range. In case of candles, borders will still be visible. This feature can be turned off in the settings.
Volume and time data are fetched from a lower timeframe that is automatically adjusted to fit the timeframe you're using. By default, the following settings are applied:
Charts <= 30 min: 1 minute timeframe
Charts > 30 min & <= 3 hours : 5 minute timeframe
Charts > 3 hours & <= 8 hours : 15 minute timeframe
Charts > 8 hours & <= 1D: 1 hour timeframe
Charts > 1D & <= 3D : 2 hour timeframe
Charts > 3D: 4 hour timeframe
Timeframe settings can be changed via input menu. The lower the timeframe, the more precision you get but with the cost of less historical data and slower loading time. Users can also choose which source to use for determining price for points of control, e.g. using close as source, the point of control is set to match the value of lower timeframe candle close. This could be replaced with OHLC4 for example, resulting in a point of control based on OHLC average.
To identify more profound points of market participant interest, TPOC & VPOC as percentage of total time/volume thresholds can be set via input menu. When a point of control is equal to or greater than the set percentage threshold, visual elements will be highlighted in a different color, e.g. 50% VPOC threshold will activate a highlight whenever volume traded at VPOC is equal to or greater than 50% of total volume. All colors are customizable.
VPOC is defined by fetching lower timeframe candle with the most amount of volume traded and using its close (by default) as a mark for point of control. For TPOC, each candle is divided into 10 lots which are used for calculating amount of closes taking place within the bracket values. The lot with highest amount of closes will be considered a point of control. This mark is displayed in the middle point of a lot:
How to utilize TPOC & VPOC
Example #1: Trapped market participants
One or both points of control at one end of candle range (wick tail) and candle close at the other end serves as an indication of market participants trapped in an awkward position. When price runs away further from these trapped participants, they are eventually forced to cover and drive price even further to the opposite direction:
Example #2: Trend initiation
A large move that leaves TPOC behind while VPOC is supportive serves as an indication of a trend initiation. Essentially, this is one way to identify an event where price traded sideways most of the time and suddenly moved away with volume:
Example #3: POC supported trend
A trend is healthy when it's supported by a point of control. Ideally you want to see either time or volume supporting a trend:
Aggregated Delta (Buy/Sell) Volume - InFinito||||||||||||||||CREDITS||||||||||||||||
Modified & Updated script from MARKET VOLUME by Ricardo M Arjona @XeL_Arjona that Includes Aggregated Volume , Delta Volume , Volume by Side
Aggregation code originally from Crypt0rus
||||||||||||||||NOTES||||||||||||||||
- Calculated based on Aggregated Volume instead of by symbol volume . Using aggregated data makes it more accurate and allows to compare volume flow between different kinds of markets (Spot, Futures , Perpetuals, Futures+Perpetuals and All Volume ).
- As well, in order to make the data as accurate as possible, the data from each exchange aggregated is normalized to report always in terms of 1 BTC . In case this indicator is used for another symbol, the calculations can be adjusted manually to make it always report data in terms of 1 contract/coin.
- The indicator can be used for any coin/symbol to aggregate volume , but it has to be set up manually
- The indicator can be used with specific symbol data only by disabling the aggregation option, which allows for it to be used on any symbol
- Previously Included with "Aggr. CDV / Delta Volume" this functionality has been removed from the latter indicator for functionality and simplicity purposes.
||||||||||||||||FUNCTIONALITY||||||||||||||||
Aggregated Delta Volume: Based off Xel_Arjona's calculation, buy and sell volume is estimated each period. This indicators can display both Buy Volume and Sell Volume for each period.
By Default, this indicator displays Delta Volume by side, which is the difference between the estimated buy and sell volume.
By checking the Option "Show all volume by side", instead of the Delta volume, all Buy and Sell Volume will be displayed by side
Volume Variation Index IndicatorThis tool is a quantitative tip for analysts who study volumes or create volume based trading strategies.
Like all our projects, we start with a statistical logic to which we add coding logic.
This indicator can save a huge amount of time in calculating the variation of volume between sessions .
How it work
The indicator calculates the difference between the volume of the last closing bar and the volume of the previous closing bar. It shows the difference between the trading volumes.
The session in which the trading volume is up are represented in green.
Red session represent trading volume down.
We have added a third function.
Through the User Interface the trader can activate or deactivate the variation average.
The indicator is able to calculate the average of the volume changes by representing it with a blue line.
To activate the average, simply set it to ON in the User Interface.
By default, the indicator calculates the average of the last 10 periods, but you are free to set this parameter in the User Interface.
Data access
To access the data, simply move the cursor. When you move the cursor over the green bars, the increase data will be displayed in green. By hovering the cursor over the red bars you will see the decrease data in red. By hovering the cursor over the average will show you the average data in blue.
The data is displayed in the top left corner of the indicator dashboard.

Candle Volume CoreIA VolCore — Candle Volume Core
Indicator Overview
IA VolCore is an intra‑candle volume analysis tool that shows where the core traded volume is concentrated inside each candle.
It visualizes how buyers and sellers interacted within the bar and highlights key levels and zones where the highest activity takes place.
How Calculations Work
The indicator uses the lowest available timeframe data to calculate volume distribution inside each candle.
If you have a Premium or higher subscription, VolCore uses second‑based data for the most accurate results. Older candles (where second‑data is no longer available due to platform limits) are calculated using minute data. The indicator can therefore be used on any timeframe from 1 minute and higher.
If you do not have Premium, the indicator uses minute‑based data only, so it is recommended to use it from the daily timeframe and above.
Example of Calculation
If the chart timeframe is 1 hour and the lowest available timeframe is 1‑second data, the indicator loads 3600 1‑second candles. Each 1‑second candle has a known volume, which is evenly distributed across its own price range.
The 1‑hour candle is then divided into a number of price ranges based on the Candle Volume Resolution parameter. The volumes of all 3600 1-second candles are then aggregated into the corresponding price ranges of the hourly candle.
The final result is a detailed intra‑candle volume map for the entire hour — calculated using the most precise data available.
Custom Timeframe Parameter
If Use Custom Timeframe is enabled and a timeframe is selected, all calculations will be performed strictly using this specified timeframe.
For example: if the chart is on 1D, the user has 1‑second data available, but Custom TF is set to 1 minute, then the volume distribution inside each daily candle will be calculated using 1‑minute candles.
Key Features
Candle Volume Resolution — defines how many price ranges each candle is divided into (3–50,000). All calculations in the indicator are based on this resolution.
Max Volume Level — displays the price level inside the candle where the maximum volume occurred.
% of Volume (1, 2, 3) — defines percentages of the candle's total volume (e.g., 33%, 66%, 50%). For each percentage, VolCore finds the minimum price range containing that share of volume. You can view the corresponding volume values for these shares in histogram form via the Show: Vol % 1–3 parameters. The actual intra-candle zones are displayed using the Show area option.
Volume % for Density — sets the volume percentage used to calculate Vol Density, which reflects how concentrated the volume is inside the selected price range.
Display Parameters (Show)
Show: Vol % 1–3 — shows histograms of volume share zones based on the selected "% of Volume" parameters (with color logic applied).
Show: Max Volume Value — displays the maximum internal volume value for each candle as a histogram (with color logic applied).
Show: Volume — displays the candle's total volume (with color logic applied).
Show: Vol Density — shows the density of volume distribution inside the candle for the selected volume percentage (with color logic applied).
Example Use Cases (not a complete list)
IA VolCore shows where liquidity forms inside each candle, how volume is distributed, and how concentrated trading activity is.
Detecting False Breakouts
If a breakout candle shows increased volume, and after the breakout the core volume forms beyond the level, but the price moves back — VolCore provides a strong signal of a false breakout.
Examples:
Identifying Support & Resistance Zones
If Max Volume Level repeatedly forms in the same internal range over multiple candles, this indicates a hidden support or resistance level.
Example:
Who This Indicator Is For
For traders using volume‑based and contextual market analysis, and for IA (Initiative Analysis) ecosystem users who want a deeper understanding of intra‑candle structure.
Histogram Color Logic
IA VolCore uses three color shades to highlight volume behavior relative to previous candles:
light shade — normal volume, no significant change,
medium shade — volume exceeds both previous candles,
dark shade — volume exceeds the sum of the previous two candles.
This helps quickly spot growing activity and potential shifts in market pressure.
Style Settings
Line styles, histogram styles, and colors can be customized in the indicator’s Style tab.
