Position Cost DistributionThe Position Cost Distribution indicator (also known as the Market Position Overview, Chip Distribution, or CYQ Algorithm) provides an estimate of how shares are distributed across different price levels. Visually, it resembles the Volume Profile indicator, though they rely on distinct computational approaches.
🟠 Principle
The Position Cost Distribution algorithm is based on the principle that a security's total shares outstanding usually remains constant, except under conditions like stock splits, reverse splits, or new share issuance. It views all trading activity as simply exchanging share positions between holders at different price points.
By analyzing daily trade volume and the prior day's distribution, the algorithm infers the resulting share distribution after each day. By tracking these inferred transpositions over time, the indicator builds up an aggregate view of the estimated share concentration at each price level. This provides insights into potential buying and selling pressure zones that could form support or resistance areas.
Together with the Volume Profile, the Position Cost Distribution gives traders multiple lenses for examining market structure from both a volume and positional standpoint. Both can help identify meaningful technical price levels.
🟠 Algorithm
The algorithm initializes by allocating all shares to the price range encompassed by the first bar displayed on the chart. Preferably, the chart window should include the stock's IPO date, allowing the model to distribute shares specifically to the IPO price.
For subsequent trading sessions, the indicator performs the following calculations:
1. The daily turnover ratio is calculated by dividing the bar's trading volume by total outstanding shares.
2. For each price level (bucket), the number of shares is reduced by the turnover amount to represent shares transferring from existing holders.
3. The bar's total volume is then added to buckets corresponding to that period's price range.
Currently, the model assumes each share has an equal probability of being exchanged, regardless of how long ago it was acquired or at what price. Potential optimizations could incorporate factors like making shares held longer face a smaller chance of transfer compared to more recently purchased shares.

Multi-Asset Performance [Spaghetti] - By LeviathanThis indicator visualizes the cumulative percentage changes or returns of 30 symbols over a given period and offers a unique set of tools and data analytics for deeper insight into the performance of different assets.
Multi Asset Performance indicator (also called “Spaghetti”) makes it easy to monitor the changes in Price, Open Interest, and On Balance Volume across multiple assets simultaneously, distinguish assets that are overperforming or underperforming, observe the relative strength of different assets or currencies, use it as a tool for identifying mean reversion opportunities and even for constructing pairs trading strategies, detect "risk-on" or "risk-off" periods, evaluate statistical relationships between assets through metrics like correlation and beta, construct hedging strategies, trade rotations and much more.
Start by selecting a time period (e.g., 1 DAY) to set the interval for when data is reset. This will provide insight into how price, open interest, and on-balance volume change over your chosen period. In the settings, asset selection is fully customizable, allowing you to create three groups of up to 30 tickers each. These tickers can be displayed in a variety of styles and colors. Additional script settings offer a range of options, including smoothing values with a Simple Moving Average (SMA), highlighting the top or bottom performers, plotting the group mean, applying heatmap/gradient coloring, generating a table with calculations like beta, correlation, and RSI, creating a profile to show asset distribution around the mean, and much more.
One of the most important script tools is the screener table, which can display:
🔸 Percentage Change (Represents the return or the percentage increase or decrease in Price/OI/OBV over the current selected period)
🔸 Beta (Represents the sensitivity or responsiveness of asset's returns to the returns of a benchmark/mean. A beta of 1 means the asset moves in tandem with the market. A beta greater than 1 indicates the asset is more volatile than the market, while a beta less than 1 indicates the asset is less volatile. For example, a beta of 1.5 means the asset typically moves 150% as much as the benchmark. If the benchmark goes up 1%, the asset is expected to go up 1.5%, and vice versa.)
🔸 Correlation (Describes the strength and direction of a linear relationship between the asset and the mean. Correlation coefficients range from -1 to +1. A correlation of +1 means that two variables are perfectly positively correlated; as one goes up, the other will go up in exact proportion. A correlation of -1 means they are perfectly negatively correlated; as one goes up, the other will go down in exact proportion. A correlation of 0 means that there is no linear relationship between the variables. For example, a correlation of 0.5 between Asset A and Asset B would suggest that when Asset A moves, Asset B tends to move in the same direction, but not perfectly in tandem.)
🔸 RSI (Measures the speed and change of price movements and is used to identify overbought or oversold conditions of each asset. The RSI ranges from 0 to 100 and is typically used with a time period of 14. Generally, an RSI above 70 indicates that an asset may be overbought, while RSI below 30 signals that an asset may be oversold.)
⚙️ Settings Overview:
◽️ Period
Periodic inputs (e.g. daily, monthly, etc.) determine when the values are reset to zero and begin accumulating again until the period is over. This visualizes the net change in the data over each period. The input "Visible Range" is auto-adjustable as it starts the accumulation at the leftmost bar on your chart, displaying the net change in your chart's visible range. There's also the "Timestamp" option, which allows you to select a specific point in time from where the values are accumulated. The timestamp anchor can be dragged to a desired bar via Tradingview's interactive option. Timestamp is particularly useful when looking for outperformers/underperformers after a market-wide move. The input positioned next to the period selection determines the timeframe on which the data is based. It's best to leave it at default (Chart Timeframe) unless you want to check the higher timeframe structure of the data.
◽️ Data
The first input in this section determines the data that will be displayed. You can choose between Price, OI, and OBV. The second input lets you select which one out of the three asset groups should be displayed. The symbols in the asset group can be modified in the bottom section of the indicator settings.
◽️ Appearance
You can choose to plot the data in the form of lines, circles, areas, and columns. The colors can be selected by choosing one of the six pre-prepared color palettes.
◽️ Labeling
This input allows you to show/hide the labels and select their appearance and size. You can choose between Label (colored pointed label), Label and Line (colored pointed label with a line that connects it to the plot), or Text Label (colored text).
◽️ Smoothing
If selected, this option will smooth the values using a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a custom length. This is used to reduce noise and improve the visibility of plotted data.
◽️ Highlight
If selected, this option will highlight the top and bottom N (custom number) plots, while shading the others. This makes the symbols with extreme values stand out from the rest.
◽️ Group Mean
This input allows you to select the data that will be considered as the group mean. You can choose between Group Average (the average value of all assets in the group) or First Ticker (the value of the ticker that is positioned first on the group's list). The mean is then used in calculations such as correlation (as the second variable) and beta (as a benchmark). You can also choose to plot the mean by clicking on the checkbox.
◽️ Profile
If selected, the script will generate a vertical volume profile-like display with 10 zones/nodes, visualizing the distribution of assets below and above the mean. This makes it easy to see how many or what percentage of assets are outperforming or underperforming the mean.
◽️ Gradient
If selected, this option will color the plots with a gradient based on the proximity of the value to the upper extreme, zero, and lower extreme.
◽️ Table
This section includes several settings for the table's appearance and the data displayed in it. The "Reference Length" input determines the number of bars back that are used for calculating correlation and beta, while "RSI Length" determines the length used for calculating the Relative Strength Index. You can choose the data that should be displayed in the table by using the checkboxes.
◽️ Asset Groups
This section allows you to modify the symbols that have been selected to be a part of the 3 asset groups. If you want to change a symbol, you can simply click on the field and type the ticker of another one. You can also show/hide a specific asset by using the checkbox next to the field.
Liquidity PeaksThe "Liquidity Peaks" indicator is a tool designed to identify significant supply and demand zones based on volumetric analysis. It analyzes the volume profile within a specified lookback range to pinpoint the most volumetric point and draw corresponding zones on the price chart.
The 𝐋𝐢𝐪. 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 indicator utilizes volume data to identify key supply and demand areas on the price chart. By examining the volume profile within a defined lookback range, it highlights three distinct zones: liquidity grab, volume containment, and the most volumetric point.
Zones and their meanings:
Liquidity grab (Orange box): This zone represents a price level where there is a significant swipe of the previous demand zone within the volume range. It indicates a potential shift in market sentiment and serves as a key supply or demand area.
Volume containment (Gray box): This zone displays the area of volume contained before the peak in volume. It provides insights into the range where buying or selling pressure was concentrated, highlighting potential support or resistance levels.
Most volumetric point (Light blue box): This zone represents the point within the lookback range that exhibits the highest volume. It signifies a significant area of market interest and indicates a potential supply or demand level.
Adjustable options:
Adjust liquidity Grab: This option allows you to adjust the size of the boxes. When enabled, the box size is set to twice the size of the high or low of the candle's wick. This adjustment enhances the visibility and accuracy of identifying swipes at specific price levels.
Show origin: Enabling this option ensures that the liquidity boxes are drawn from the wick they were created from. This provides a clear visual reference to the specific candle and highlights the liquidity levels associated with it.
Utility:
The 𝐋𝐢𝐪. 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 indicator is a valuable tool for traders and investors seeking to identify significant supply and demand zones in the market. By analyzing volume data and drawing corresponding zones on the chart, it helps to pinpoint areas where buying or selling pressure is likely to emerge.
Traders can utilize this information to identify potential support and resistance levels, plan their entries and exits, and make more informed trading decisions. The liquidity grab zones can act as potential reversal or breakout points, while the volume containment zones and most volumetric points provide insights into areas of high market interest.
It is important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm trading signals and validate market dynamics.
Example Charts:
Supply and Demand Daily [LuxAlgo]The Supply and Demand Daily indicator displays daily supply and demand areas on the user's chart. These areas are constructed using the market data within a previous daily interval.
This script makes use of the same logic as our previous Supply and Demand Visible Range indicator .
🔶 USAGE
The supply/demand areas & levels displayed by the indicator aim to provide potential support/resistance levels for users. Supply areas highlight where buyers are willing to exit the market and sell the asset, thus providing resistance and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back downwards, while demand areas highlights where buyers were willing to purchase the asset, thus providing support and potentially causing prices to reverse or bounce back upwards.
Historical areas allow the user to study the evolution of supply/demand from one day to another. Wider areas highlight prices avoiding reverting to this area, while thinner areas highlight prices returning more frequently to them.
Trends can be determined by looking at the price position relative to the previous day's supply/demand areas. Price breaking down from the demand zone is indicative of a downtrend, while price breaking above the supply zone is indicative of an uptrend.
Pullback/throwback scenarios can also be common using this indicator.
🔶 SETTINGS
Threshold %: Percentage of the total visible range volume used as a threshold to set supply/demand areas. Higher values return wider areas.
Resolution: Determines the number of bins used to find each area. Higher values will return more precise results.
Intra-bar TF: Timeframe used to obtain intra-bar data.
🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS
Tick Profile HeatmapThis is a market internal TICK heatmap with the intent of displaying areas of price associated to stronger reactions with NYSE TICK (by default).
This code is based off of a variation of a Volume Profile coded originally by colejustice who originally used code from LuxAlgo . The full-width volume bars that colejustice setup were replaced with full-width bars representative of TICK breaking +/- $500, the current cumulative value representing the "heat" is comprised of hlc3 by default but that can be changed. In a future update I may add additional logic here to capture highs and lows in the heatmap specifically, and perhaps additional colors.
As with other traditional profiling studies, this indicators purpose is to visualize correspondence to specific price levels, allowing rapid assessment where the most TICK activity is occurring, and where it hasn't been. This information may provide areas of support and resistance and regions where price may move quickly repeatedly.
All of the same input guidance that colejustice provided is the same for those pre-existing inputs:
Inputs are set up such that you can customize the lookback period, number of rows, and width of rows for most major timeframes individually. Timeframes between those available will use the next lower timeframe settings (e.g., 2m chart will use the 1m settings.)
Zero usage of volume is present in this indicator, only TICK data so please don't confuse it with volume studies.
Modified TradingView's Up/Down Volume [vnhilton]
When plotting columns, histograms, etc. You'll notice that the indicator does not stick to the bottom of the pane. To fix this, you need another indicator (we'll call this 'placeholder') in the same pane as this indicator. Pin the placeholder indicator to the left scale, & pin the main indicator to the left scale. Then, pin the placeholder indicator to scale A, & finally the main indictor to the right scale.
Note: On the daily timeframes & higher, the up/down volume isn't accurate. Therefore, I've added a feature where you can toggle on the main indicator to disappear & only show ordinary total volume similar to the TradingView volume indicator.
The original code belongs to TradingView. This is a modified indicator that displays the down volume above the up volume similar to the volume profile. Also includes a moving average using the total volume, & a feature to display ordinary volume to solve the up/down inaccuracies on the daily timeframe & higher.
Volume Footprint [LuxAlgo]This indicator estimates a volume footprint using tick data. The script automatically separates a candle into equidistant intervals with a width obtained from the average true range or a user-given width.
Settings
Method: Interval width calculation method. This ultimately determines the number of intervals separating one candle.
Width (At the right of Method): Atr period or user given width depending on the selected method. A lower user-given width would divide a candle into a higher number of intervals.
As Percent: Returns the accumulated volume within each interval as a percentage of the total candle volume.
Style
Display Type: Determines the appearance of the returned volume footprint.
Trend Color: Color to use based on whether a candle is bullish or bearish.
Usage
When applied to a chart, the user will be asked to select the settings to use for the volume footprint. Note that changing the settings afterward will reset the volume footprint, removing previously generated footprints.
A new footprint will appear on the confirmation of a new bar, as such this version might only be useful in lower timeframes.
A volume footprint allows users to see the number of contracts exchanged within a candle interval. It can as such be seen as some kind of intrabar volume profile.
This can be useful to see areas of interest within a candle.
Different Appearance
By default, the volume footprint makes use of colored boxes with a color based on whether the candle was bullish or bearish.
Another appearance that gives additional information is the gradient type, which uses intervals color based on the number of contracts exchanged within an interval relative to the total volume of the candle. A higher number of contracts within an interval would return a darker color by default.
The regular display type makes use of boxes with a single color, with lines on the side indicating whether the candle was bullish or bearish.
Setup Score OscillatorSetup Score Oscillator – Full Description
🎯 Purpose of the Script
This script is a manual trading setup scoring tool, designed to help traders quantify the quality of a trade setup by combining multiple technical, cyclical, and contextual signals.
Instead of relying on a single indicator, the trader manually selects which signals are present, and the script calculates a total score (0–100%), displayed as an oscillator in a separate panel (like RSI or MACD).
🔧 How it works in practice
1. Manual signal inputs
The script presents a set of checkboxes in the settings, where the trader can enable/disable the following signals:
✅ Confirmed Support/Resistance
✅ Aligned Volume Profile
✅ Favorable Cyclic Timing
✅ Valid Trend Line
✅ Aligned Cyclical Moving Averages
✅ Relevant Fibonacci Level
✅ Classic Volume Signal (spike, dry-up, etc.)
✅ Oscillator confirmation (e.g., divergences)
✅ Extreme Sentiment
✅ Relevant or incoming News
Each selected signal contributes to the total score based on its weight.
2. Scoring system
Each signal has a default weight (e.g., 20% for support/resistance, 15% for cycles, etc.).
Optionally, the trader can enable the “custom weights” checkbox and adjust each signal’s weight directly in the settings.
3. Score visualization
The final score (sum of all active weights) is plotted as an oscillator ranging from 0 to 100%, with dynamic coloring:
Range Color Meaning
0–39% Red No valid setup
40–54% Yellow Watchlist only
55–69% Orange Good setup
70–100% Green Strong setup
Several horizontal threshold lines are displayed:
50% → neutral threshold
40%, 55%, 70% → operational levels
4. Optional background coloring
When the score exceeds 55% or 70%, the oscillator background lightly changes color to highlight stronger setups (non-intrusive).
📌 Practical benefits
Objectifies subjective analysis: each decision becomes a number.
Prevents overtrading: no entries if the score is too low.
Adaptable to any trading style: swing, intraday, positional.
User-friendly: no coding needed – just tick boxes.

Setup Score Oscillator – Descrizione completa
🎯 Obiettivo dello script
Lo script è uno strumento manuale di valutazione dei setup di trading, pensato per aiutare il trader a quantificare la qualità di un'opportunità operativa basandosi su più segnali tecnici, ciclici e contestuali.
Invece di affidarsi a un solo indicatore, il trader seleziona manualmente quali segnali sono presenti, e lo script calcola un punteggio complessivo percentuale (0–100%), rappresentato come oscillatore in una finestra separata (tipo RSI, MACD, ecc.).
🔧 Come funziona operativamente
1. Input manuale dei segnali
Lo script mostra una serie di checkbox nelle impostazioni, dove il trader può attivare o disattivare i seguenti segnali:
✅ Supporto/Resistenza confermata
✅ Volume Profile allineato
✅ Cicli o timing favorevole
✅ Trend line valida
✅ Medie mobili cicliche allineate
✅ Livello di Fibonacci rilevante
✅ Volume classico significativo (spike, dry-up)
✅ Conferme da oscillatori (es. divergenze)
✅ Sentiment estremo (es. euforia o panico)
✅ News importanti imminenti o appena uscite
Ogni casella attiva contribuisce al punteggio totale, con un peso specifico.
2. Sistema di punteggio
Ogni segnale ha un peso predefinito (es. 20% per supporti/resistenze, 15% per cicli, ecc.).
Facoltativamente, il trader può attivare la funzione “Enable custom weights” per personalizzare i pesi di ciascun segnale direttamente da input.
3. Visualizzazione del punteggio
Il punteggio complessivo (somma dei pesi attivati) viene tracciato come oscillatore da 0 a 100%, con colori dinamici:
Range Colore Significato
0–39% Rosso Nessun setup valido
40–54% Giallo Osservazione
55–69% Arancione Setup buono
70–1005 Verde Setup forte
Sono tracciate anche delle linee guida orizzontali a:
50% → soglia neutra
40%, 55%, 70% → soglie operative
4. Colorazione dello sfondo (facoltativa)
Quando il punteggio supera 55% o 70%, lo sfondo dell’oscillatore cambia leggermente colore per evidenziare il segnale (non invasivo).
📌 Vantaggi pratici
Oggettivizza l’analisi soggettiva: ogni decisione manuale si trasforma in un numero.
Evita overtrading: se il punteggio è troppo basso, non si entra.
Adattabile a ogni stile: swing, intraday, position.
Facile da usare anche senza codice: basta spuntare le caselle.
VWAP RangeThe VWAP Range indicator is a highly versatile and innovative tool designed with trading signals for trading the supply and demand within consolidation ranges.
What's a VWAP?
A VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) represents an equilibrium point in the market, balancing supply and demand over a specified period. Unlike simple moving averages, VWAP gives more weight to periods with higher volume. This is crucial because large volumes indicate significant trading activity, often by institutional traders, whose actions can reflect deeper market insights or create substantial market movements. The VWAP is also often used as a benchmark to evaluate the efficiency of executed trades. If a trader buys below the VWAP and sells above it, they are generally considered to have transacted favourably.
This is how it works:
Multiple VWAP Anchors:
This indicator uses multiple VWAPs anchored to different optional time periods, such as Daily, Weekly, Monthly, as well as to the highest high a lowest low within those periods. This multiplicity allows for a comprehensive view of the market’s average price based on volume and price, tailored to different trading styles and strategies.
Dynamic and Fixed Periods:
Traders can choose between using dynamic ranges, which reset at the start of each selected period, and specifying a date and time for a particular fixed range to trade. This flexibility is crucial for analyzing price movements within specific ranges or market phases.
Fixed ranges allow VWAPs to be calculated and anchored to a significant market event, the beginning of a consolidation phase or after a major news announcement.
Signal Generation:
The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the relationship of the price to the VWAPs. It also allows for setting a maximum number of signals in one direction to avoid overtrading or pyramiding. Be sure to wait for the candle close before trading on the signals.
Average Buy/Sell Signal Lines:
Lines can be plotted to display the average buy and sell signal prices. The difference between the lines shows the average profit per trade when trading on the signals in that range. It's a good way to see how profitable a range is on average without backtesting the signals. The lines will also often turn into support and resistance areas, similar to value areas in a volume profile.
Customizable Settings:
Traders have control over various settings, such as the VWAP calculation method and bar color. There are also tooltips for every function.
Hidden Feature:
There's a subtle feature in this indicator: if you have 'Indicator values' turned on in TradingView, you'll see a Sell/Buy Ratio displayed only in the status line. This ratio indicates whether there are more sell signals than buy signals in a range, regardless of the Max Signals setting. A red value above 1 suggests that the market is trending upward, indicating you might want to hold your long positions a bit longer. Conversely, a green value below 1 implies a downward trend.
PhantomFlow AccumulationDetectorThe PhantomFlow AccumulationDetector indicator analyzes the volume profile and displays potential accumulation based on the selected timeframe in the settings. This indicator can be used both as zones for trend following and for identifying reversals, as shown in the examples on the chart. The logic behind the formation of the accumulation zone is based on the fact that the POC (Point of Control) of the current zone is within the Volume Area range of the previous period.
Optimal settings for the working timeframe should be chosen visually, and the size of the zones should not be too large or too small. Additionally, it's advisable not to consider overly wide zones during increased volatility.
Consecutive zones within the same range often indicate a potential reversal.
We borrowed the volume profile calculation code from @LonesomeTheBlue. Thank you for the work done!
Halfback + One-Time-Framing BarsThis indicator is designed to be used with Market Profile / Volume Profile trading techniques on a 30min chart.
The halfback of a candle is the mid point between the high and the low of the candle. A halfback trade can be taken once price retraces into this point as support/resistance using the prevailing trend as your trade direction.
One-Time-Framing is a fancy term for trending in one direction. One-Time-Framing happens when a candle breaks the previous candle's high without testing the low or when a candle breaks the low of the previous candle without testing the high. This indicates that the trend is one directional and opposing pressure is very weak. Taking trades in the opposing direction of multiple OTF bars is typically a bad trade setup.
Halfback and OTF setups are typically used on a 30min timeframe combined with Market or Volume Profile, but you can experiment with these setups on any timeframe if you wish.
I hope you all enjoy this indicator, comment below if you have any questions.
Koalafied Volume Extension BubblesCircles based on extensions from volume Z-Score. Large volume candles can often signal exhaustion or show market strength in reversals or breakouts. Circles can be offset back to the start of the day/profile or left at the time where they occur.
Colours denoting deviations from the mean are
+2 std dev - Green
+1 std dev - Blue
-1 std dev - Red
-2 std dev - Purple
Concept is primarily as a pseudo volume profile delta tool. Obviously it's a very basic heuristic so would recommend further reading and use of actually footprint data to base trading decisions on.
Swing Assassin's Consolidated ScriptI put this script together to essentially consolidate a number of scripts that I use on a daily basis into one script. This is an ongoing improvement effort, so there may be some garbage in here right now so keep that in mind if you intend to use this to help in your trading.
There are 5 moving averages (Hull). I use the Fast, Mid and Slow to find entries after I us the Medium Slow and Super Slow to identify a trend. Otherwise, I have those three turned off.
This script also uses Bollinger Bands which I literally cannot trade without.
The script also has anchored VWAP , automated support/resistance lines, and a homebrewed Volume Profile that is a copy from Ildar Akhmetgaleev's indicator "Poor Man's Volume Profile" used under Mozilla Public License Version 2.0.
Poor man's volume clustersVolume clusters created from candlestick volumes.

The code is generated using a template. To change the settings, you may need to regenerate the code. The code has a link to the repository with the template.
Cumulative Overlapping Volume BarsThis is cheap replacement for volume profile.
Red bars is where accumulated high volume in small range.
if new bar moves out of range all accumulated volume will be lost and color will change.
LTF Volume markerLTF Volume Marker
Overview:
The LTF Volume Marker highlights candles that contain volume spikes on a lower timeframe (LTF), even while you are viewing a higher timeframe chart. It is designed to help identify hidden volume activity that may not be visible when aggregating candles.
This indicator is conceptually similar to a volume profile — but instead of showing distribution across price levels, it visualizes volume clusters within the structure of a sloped trend or time-based aggregation.
Key Features:
✅ Automatically detects high-volume candles on a user-defined lower timeframe
✅ Marks the price level of volume spikes using weighted average price (VWAP) within higher timeframe bars
✅ Supports both manual threshold and auto mode (which highlights top X% of volume candles in a selected range)
✅ Fully adjustable timeframe and date range
✅ Displays either a point or an area at the spike location or together
How It Works:
You define a Lower Timeframe (e.g. 1-minute) and optionally a threshold or use the auto mode to dynamically calculate it from past data.
On higher timeframes (e.g. 5-min, 15-min), the indicator looks inside each bar, finds all volume spikes, and plots the volume-weighted average price of those spikes.
If you are on the same timeframe as the LTF, it simply highlights candles with volume exceeding the threshold.
Use Cases:
Spotting hidden volume clusters inside trending moves
Validating support/resistance levels with underlying volume
Filtering false breakouts using intra-bar volume
Enhancing scalping and intraday setups by visualizing internal structure
Notes:
The indicator ignores future-looking data (lookahead=off) and only processes completed bars.
If the chart’s timeframe is lower than the selected LTF, the indicator will automatically disable itself.
Works best with aggregated symbols, such as futures or cryptocurrencies with high resolution data.

Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram📝 Description :
🌀 Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram — A Custom Momentum and Volatility Fusion Tool
The Sri_Momentum Burst Histogram is a unique technical analysis tool designed to visualize sudden changes in price momentum in the form of a dynamic, color-coded histogram. This indicator helps traders identify trend accelerations, early momentum shifts, and potential exhaustion in real time.
By combining a MACD-like momentum engine with a volatility-sensitive Bollinger Band range, this script offers an enhanced view of market bursts — moments where momentum "pops" beyond typical ranges. The result is a refined perspective on market sentiment, helping traders to anticipate reversals, follow breakouts, and assess the relative strength of ongoing trends.
🧠 Core Methodology
The indicator calculates the difference between a fast and slow EMA (Exponential Moving Average), similar to a MACD histogram.
This difference is then compared across candles to gauge the rate of change in momentum — referred to here as a “momentum burst.”
A sensitivity multiplier allows you to scale the response based on your preferred timeframe and trading style.
A volatility band, derived from Bollinger Band logic, is used to frame the relative intensity of the momentum change.
The histogram is divided into two parts:
Green/Lime Bars represent increasing and decreasing bullish momentum.
Red/Orange Bars represent increasing and decreasing bearish momentum.
⚙️ Customizable Inputs
Momentum Sensitivity: Adjust the responsiveness of the burst detection mechanism.
Short EMA Period: Sets the lookback period for the fast EMA.
Long EMA Period: Sets the lookback period for the slow EMA.
Volatility Band Length: Controls the length used for Bollinger Band calculations.
Band Std Dev Multiplier: Adjusts how wide the volatility range should be, based on price dispersion.
📈 How to Use It
Use the green/red histogram bars to visually gauge momentum strength and direction.
Watch for transitions in color intensity (e.g., green to lime, red to orange) as early warning signs of trend exhaustion or reversal.
Combine with other indicators like RSI, MACD, ADX, or volume profiles to confirm entry/exit points.
Useful in both trending and ranging markets, especially on lower timeframes for scalping or intraday setups.
✅ Key Features
Easy-to-read histogram with intuitive color coding.
Fully customizable settings for fine-tuned signal control.
Can be used on any asset class — stocks, forex, crypto, commodities.
Optimized for real-time use with minimal lag.

Risk Management: While the indicator offers valuable insights, always adhere to robust risk management practices to safeguard against unexpected market fluctuations.
EXAMPLE STRATEGIES
Trend Following: Use the oscillator to confirm existing trends. When Component A crosses above Component B, consider entering long positions; conversely, look for short entries during downward crossovers.
Mean Reversion: Identify extreme readings near the upper (90) or lower (10) bands where prices might revert to mean levels, presenting potential reversal opportunities.
Divergence Analysis: Compare the oscillator's behavior with price action to spot divergences, which often precede trend reversals. Bullish divergence occurs when prices make lower lows but the oscillator shows higher lows, suggesting upward momentum.
Volume Flow RatioVolume Flow Ratio (VFR) Indicator
Overview
The Volume Flow Ratio (VFR) is a sophisticated volume analysis tool that measures current trading volume relative to the maximum volume of the previous period. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show raw volume or simple moving averages, VFR provides context by comparing current activity to recent maximum activity levels.
Core Features
1. Split Period Analysis
- Multiple Timeframe Options:
- Daily: Compares to previous day's maximum
- Weekly: Week-to-week comparison
- NYSE Weekly: Specialized for stock market trading (Monday-Friday only)
- Monthly: Month-to-month analysis
- Quarterly: Quarter-to-quarter perspective
- Yearly: Year-over-year volume comparison
2. Ratio-Based Measurement
- Displays volume as a ratio (0 to 1+) rather than raw numbers
- 1.0 represents volume equal to previous period's maximum
- Example: If previous max was 50,000 contracts:
- Current volume of 25,000 shows as 0.5
- Current volume of 75,000 shows as 1.5
3. Triple Coloring Modes
- Moving Average Based:
- Compares current ratio to its moving average
- Customizable MA period
- Green: Above MA (higher than average activity)
- Red: Below MA (lower than average activity)
- Previous Candle Comparison:
- Simple increase/decrease from previous bar
- Green: Higher than previous bar
- Red: Lower than previous bar
- Candle Color Based:
- Syncs with price action
- Green: Bullish candles (close > open)
- Red: Bearish candles (close < open)
Primary Use Cases
1. Volume Profile Analysis
- Perfect for traders who need to understand when markets are most active
- Helps identify unusual volume spikes relative to recent history
- Useful for timing entries and exits based on market participation
2. Market Activity Traders
Ideal for traders who:
- Need to identify high-liquidity periods
- Want to avoid low-volume periods
- Look for volume breakouts or divergences
- Trade based on institutional participation levels
3. Mean Reversion Traders
Helps identify:
- Overextended volume conditions (potential reversals)
- Volume exhaustion points
- Return to normal volume levels after spikes
4. Momentum Traders
Useful for:
- Confirming trend strength through volume
- Identifying potential trend exhaustion
- Validating breakouts with volume confirmation
Advantages Over Traditional Volume Indicators
1. Contextual Analysis
- Shows relative strength rather than raw numbers
- Easier to compare across different time periods
- Automatically adjusts to changing market conditions
2. Period-Specific Insights
- Respects natural market cycles (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Special handling for NYSE trading days
- Eliminates weekend noise in stock market analysis
3. Flexible Visualization
- Three distinct coloring methods for different trading styles
- Clear reference line at 1.0 for quick analysis
- Histogram style for easy pattern recognition
Best Practices
For Day Traders
- Use Daily split for intraday volume patterns
- MA coloring mode with shorter periods (5-10)
- Focus on ratios during market hours
For Swing Traders
- Weekly or NYSE Weekly splits
- Longer MA periods (15-20)
- Look for sustained volume patterns
For Position Traders
- Monthly or Quarterly splits
- Candle color mode for trend confirmation
- Focus on major volume shifts
Limitations
- Requires one full period to establish baseline
- May be less effective in extremely low volume conditions
- NYSE Weekly mode specific to stock market hours
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who understand that volume is a crucial component of price action but need a more sophisticated way to analyze it than simple volume bars. It's especially useful for those who trade based on market participation levels and need to quickly identify whether current volume is significant relative to recent history.
Session extensions [dani]Session Extension
Indicator Description
The Session Extensions indicator is a customizable tool designed to visually represent key price levels during a specified trading session. It calculates and displays the high, low, and midpoints of the session, along with extension levels based on user-defined multipliers. These extensions help traders identify potential support and resistance zones beyond the initial session range.
This indicator is particularly useful for intraday traders who rely on session-based analysis to make informed decisions. It overlays directly on the chart, ensuring seamless integration with price action.
Key Features
Session-Based Analysis : Tracks and highlights key price levels (high, low, midpoint) during a specific trading session.
Customizable Extension Levels : Allows users to define up to six extension levels (both above and below the session range) with unique multipliers, colors, styles, and widths.
Real-Time Updates : Automatically updates during the active session and resets at the start of a new session.
Usage Guidelines
Add the Indicator to Your Chart : Apply the Session Extensions indicator to your chart to visualize key session-based levels.
Intraday Focus : This indicator is optimized for intraday trading. Ensure that the chart's timeframe is set to an intraday interval (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute).
Session Alignment : Verify that the session time aligns with your trading schedule and timezone. Misalignment may result in incorrect session detection. (This indicator use America - New York timezone)
Avoid Overcrowding : While the indicator supports multiple extension levels, enabling too many levels simultaneously may clutter the chart. Use discretion when configuring extension levels.
Customize Line Styles and Colors : Tailor the appearance of lines and labels to align with your trading style. Use solid, dashed, or dotted lines, and choose colors that enhance visibility without cluttering the chart.
Combine with Other Tools : Pair this indicator with other technical analysis tools (e.g., moving averages, volume profiles) to enhance decision-making.

Footprint IQ Pro [TradingIQ]Hello Traders!
Introducing "Footprint IQ Pro"!
Footprint IQ Pro is an all-in-one Footprint indicator with several unique features.
Features
Calculated delta at tick level
Calculated delta ratio at tick level
Calculated buy volume at tick level
Calculated sell volume at tick level
Imbalance detection
Stacked imbalance detection
Stacked imbalance alerts
Value area and POC detection
Highest +net delta levels detection
Lowest -net delta levels detection
CVD by tick levels
Customizable values area percentage
The image above thoroughly outlines what each metric in the delta boxes shows!
Metrics In Delta Boxes
"δ:", "\nδ%:", "\n⧎: ", "\n◭: ", "\n⧩: "
δ Delta (Difference between buy and sell volume)
δ% Delta Ratio (Delta as a percentage of total volume)
⧎ Total Volume At Level (Total volume at the price area)
◭ Total Buy Volume At Level (Total buy volume at the price area)
⧩ Total Sell Volume At Level (total sell volume at the price area)
Each metric comes with a corresponding symbol.
That said, until you become comfortable with the symbol, you can also turn on the descriptive labels setting!
The image above exemplifies the feature.
The image above shows Footprint IQ's full power!
Additionally, traders with an upgraded TradingView plan can make use of the "1-Second" feature Footprint IQ offers!
The image above shows each footprint generated using 1-second volume data. 1-second data is highly granular compared to 1-minute data and, consequently, each footprint is exceptionally more accurate!
Imbalance Detection
Footprint IQ pro is capable of detecting user-defined delta imbalances.
The image above further explains how Footprint IQ detects imbalances!
The imbalance percentage is customizable in the settings, and is set to 70% by default.
Therefore,
When net delta is positive, and the positive net delta constitutes >=70% of the total volume, a buying imbalance will be detected (upwards triangle).
When net delta is negative, and the negative net delta constitutes >=70% of the total volume, a buying imbalance will be detected (downwards triangle).
Stacked Imbalance Detection
In addition to imbalance detection, Footprint IQ Pro can also detect stacked imbalances!
The image above shows Footprint IQ Pro detecting stacked imbalances!
Stacked imbalances occur when consecutive imbalances at sequential price areas occur. Stacked imbalances are generally interpreted as significant price moves that are supported by volume, rather than a significant result with disproportionate effort.
The criteria for stacked imbalance detection (how many imbalances must occur at sequential price areas) is customizable in the settings.
The default value is three. Therefore, when three imbalances occur at sequential price areas, golden triangles will begin to print to show a stacked imbalance.
Additionally, traders can set alerts for when stacked imbalances occur!
Highest +Delta and Highest -Delta Levels
In addition to being a fully-fledged Footprint indicator, Footprint IQ Pro goes one step further by detecting price areas where the greater +Delta and -Delta are!
The image above shows price behavior near highest +Delta price areas detected by Footprint IQ!
These +Delta levels are considered important as there has been strong interest from buyers at these price areas when they are traded at.
It's expected that these levels can function as support points that are supported by volume.
The image above shows a similar function for resistance points!
Blue lines = High +Delta Detected Price Areas
Red lines = High -Delta Detected Price Areas
Value Area Detection
Similar to traditional volume profile, Footprint IQ Pro displays the value area per bar.
Green lines next to each footprint show the value area for the bar. The value area % is customizable in the settings.
CVD Levels
Footprint IQ Pro is capable of storing historical volume delta information to provide CVD measurements at each price area!
The image above exemplifies this feature!
When this feature is enabled, you will see the CVD of each price area, rather than the net delta!
And that's it!
Thank you so much to TradingView for offering the greatest charting platform for everyone to create on!
If you have any feature requests you'd like to see for Footprint IQ, please feel free to share them with us!
Thank you!
