Volume Candle Rings [CHE]

Volume Candle Rings [CHE] – Spot Volume Extremes Fast 🔍
Marks exceptionally high volume right on the candle as concentric rings. Instantly see how extreme the spike is (levels 1–10), where it happens (anchor on HL2/Close/BodyMid), and how big it is relative to volatility (ATR-scaled). No magic, no blind signals—just clean context for better decisions.
Why it helps 🎯
Catch true extremes: Positive-side Z-Score maps spikes into 10 levels. By default, only 8/9/10 show—the ones that matter.
Context over clutter: Rings sit on the candle, scale with ATR (market regime), and widen in bars (time). Read absorption, breakout thrusts, or capitulation in context.
Signal the new, not the noise: Optional OFF→ON only drawing cuts chart noise and highlights fresh events.
How it works ⚙️
Z-Score: `z = (Vol – SMA(Vol, lookback)) / StDev(Vol, lookback)` → clipped at `zScoreCap`, normalized, and binned to 1..10 (0 = none). Only z > 0 counts.
Geometry: Vertical diameter = `Level × ATR(atrLength) × atrPerLevel`; horizontal radius = `Level × xBarsPerLevel` bars; curvatureFactor controls roundness.
Anchor: Choose HL2, Close, or BodyMid for the vertical center.
Performance: Keeps up to maxStoredCircles; FIFO cleanup to stay smooth.
Typical use cases 📈
Breakout confirmation: Clusters of 8–10 at range edges → rising initiative.
Absorption / fade: Extreme ring (9–10) without follow-through → potential stall or reversal.
Blow-off / climax: Single huge ring after a long run → higher odds of mean reversion.
News filtering: Show the real outliers, not every minor bump.
Inputs (mapped 1:1) 🧩
Z-Score & Levels
Lookback (SMA/StDev) – default 200
Z-Score Clipping – default 5.0
Behavior
Draw every bar – default ON; OFF = only on OFF→ON switches
Max circles to retain – default 120
Anchoring & Geometry
Anchor on candle – HL2 / Close / BodyMid
ATR Length – default 50
ATR per Level (Y) – default 0.25
Bars per Level (X) – default 0.15
Circle curvature – default 0.70
Level Selection (1–10)
Default: 8/9/10 ON, 1–7 OFF. Colors grade from teal/green → orange → red; fill opacity separate.
Quick presets ⏱️
Intraday (1–5m): Lookback 150–250, Cap 4.0–5.0, ATR/Level 0.20–0.30, Bars/Level 0.10–0.20, Draw every bar OFF.
Swing (1H–1D): Lookback 200–300, Cap 5.0, ATR/Level 0.25–0.35, Bars/Level 0.15–0.25, keep 8–10.
Aggressive scouting: Also enable Level 7 for early accumulation.
Pro tips 💡
Control object load: Reduce maxStoredCircles or switch Draw every bar OFF on busy charts.
Seek confluence: Combine rings with S/R, range edges, VWAP, session H/L. A ring is information, not an entry by itself.
Color discipline: Reserve red (9/10) for true extremes; keep lower levels subtle.
Limits & notes 🧭
This is visualization, not alerts or auto signals.
Many polylines can slow charts—tune Behavior settings.
Works across markets/timeframes; adapt parameters to the asset’s character.
Who it’s for 🙌
Traders who read volume in price context—breakouts, fades, reversals. See when the market is truly stepping on the gas.
Volume Candle Rings \[CHE] turns raw volume into precise, scale-aware markers. Spot extremes faster, avoid confusing “loud” with “important,” and make cleaner, context-driven decisions. 🚀
