Ord Volume [LucF]Tim Ord came up with the Ord Volume concept. The idea is similar to Weis Wave , except that where Weis Wave keeps a cumulative tab of each wave’s successive volume columns, Ord Volume tracks the wave's average volume .
Features
You can choose to distinguish the area’s colors when the average is rising/falling (default).
You can show an EMA of the wave averages, which is different than an EMA on raw volume.
You can show (default) the last wave’s ending average over the current wave, to help in comparing relative levels.
You can change the length of the trend that needs to be broken for a new wave to start, as well as the price used in trend detection.
Use Cases
As with Weis Wave, what I look at first are three characteristics of the waves: their length, height and slope. I then compare those to the corresponding price movements, looking for discrepancies. For example, consecutive bearish waves of equal strength associated with lesser and lesser price movements are often a good indication of an impeding reversal.
Because Ord Volume uses average rather than cumulative volume, I find it is often easier to distinguish what is going on during waves, especially exhaustion at the end of waves.
Tim Ord has a method for entries and exits where he uses Ord Volume in conjunction with tests of support and resistance levels. Here are two articles published in 2004 where Ord explains his technique:
pr.b5z.net
n.b5z.net
Note
Being dependent on volume information as it is currently available in Pine, which does not include a practical way to retrieve delta volume information, the indicator suffers the same lack of precision as most other Pine-built volume indicators. For those not aware of the issue, the problem is that there is no way to distinguish the buying and selling volume (delta volume) in a bar, other than by looping through inside intervals using the security() function, which for me makes performance unsustainable in day to day use, while only providing an approximation of delta volume.

Accumulation/Distribution Volume (ADV) [cI8DH]This is the simplified and optimized version of my original ADV indicator. It shows both regular volume bars and the accumulated/distributed (A/D) portion of them. The equation is elegant and intuitive. It calculates candle body to candle height ratio and multiplies it by volume: volume*(close-open)/(high-low). This is the building block of my three other indicators, ADL, ADP and ADMF.
- The volume bars has two shades of green and red. The dark shade shows amount of A/D and the light shade shows total volume (what you see on a regular volume indicator).
When money volume is enabled, volume is multiplied by price. As you can see in the chart below, trade volume in terms of USD was growing over the past years.
- Blue line is the moving average of A/D and the orange line is for total volume. When "Baseline Chart" option is enabled, this moving average is identical to ADMF indicator which can be a powerful indicator for assessing buy/sell pressure as well as money flow and volume divergences. You can turn off volume bars (from style menu) for better visibility or you can use the below indicators.
Please note that ADMF is now available as a part of ADP indicator as well and I recommend using the latter since ADP can also replace CMF and MFI indicators.
- If you change the aggregation to cumulative (while having money volume disabled), the gray line becomes identical to On Balance Volume (OBV) and the blue line identical to my ADL indicator. The latter I would argue is more accurate than Chaikin's ADL, William's A/D and OBV.
Coloured Volume Grid 1.0Candles are coloured based on relative price and volume:
- If today’s closing price and volume are greater than (n) bars ago, color today’s volume bar green.
- If today’s closing price is greater than (n) bars ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar lime.
- Similarly, if today’s closing price and volume is less than (n) bars ago, color today’s volume bar orange.
- If today’s closing price is less than (n) bars ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar red.
The above logic in itself gives pretty remarkable considering how simple the idea is. I have added a multi-timeframe feature where the same logic is applied to 4 other timeframes. This way you can quickly be aware without having to check. There are four layers and the default settings show (from top to bottom) daily, 4h, 1h and 15m
All timeframes are adjustable in the settings.

Volume Printed Candles WITH RVOL BREAKOUT/BREAKDOWN CONFERMATIONANZAR873
RVOL (Relative Volume)
Relative Volume = Current Volume ÷ Average Volume (last N candles)
If RVOL = 1.0 → Current volume = exactly average.
If RVOL > 1.0 → Current volume is higher than average (buyers/sellers are active).
If RVOL < 1.0 → Current volume is lower than average (market dull, higher risk of fake moves).
Examples:
RVOL = 0.7 → Volume is only 70% of average → Weak move.
RVOL = 1.5 → Volume is 50% higher than average → Strong move, genuine breakout/breakdown likely.
🔹 Candle Colors (based on RVOL):
Grey (RVOL < 0.7) → Low volume, weak move, possible fake.
Blue (0.7 ≤ RVOL < 1.0) → Medium-low volume, some activity but weaker than average.
Orange (1.0 ≤ RVOL < 1.5) → High volume, strong buying/selling pressure. With breakout/breakdown → reliable.
Red (RVOL ≥ 1.5) → Very High / Ultra volume. Big players active. If support/resistance breaks with red candle → strongest confirmation.
🔹 How to use in trading?
Breakout/Breakdown Confirmation → Trust only if RVOL ≥ 1.2–1.5 and candle color is Orange or Red.
Avoid trading → When candles are Grey or Blue (fake move risk).
Scalping/Quick Trades → Low RVOL = small targets, High RVOL = bigger targets possible.
In simple words:
RVOL is like a strength meter of the candle.
Colors instantly show candle reliability:
Grey/Blue = Weak
Orange/Red = Strong
⚡ Perfect for intraday, scalping, and breakout traders who want quick volume-based confirmation.
Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner [PhenLabs]📊 PhenLabs - Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner (VFAS)
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The PhenLabs Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner (VFAS) is an advanced Pine Script indicator designed to detect and highlight significant imbalances in buying and selling pressure within individual price bars. By analyzing a calculated "Delta" – the net difference between estimated buy and sell volume – and employing statistical Z-score analysis, VFAS pinpoints moments when buying or selling activity becomes unusually dominant. This script was created not in hopes of creating a "Buy and Sell" indicator but rather providing the user with a more in-depth insight into the intrabar volume delta and how it can fluctuate in unusual ways, leading to anomalies that can be capitalized on.
This indicator helps traders identify high-conviction points where strong market participants are active, signaling potential shifts in momentum or continuation of a trend. It aims to provide a clearer understanding of underlying market dynamics, allowing for more informed decision-making in various trading strategies, from identifying entry points to confirming trend strength.
🚀 Points of Innovation
● Z-Score for Delta Analysis : Utilizes statistical Z-scores to objectively identify statistically significant anomalies in buying/selling pressure, moving beyond simple, arbitrary thresholds.
● Dynamic Confidence Scoring : Assigns a multi-star confidence rating (1-4 stars) to each signal, factoring in high volume, trend alignment, and specific confirmation criteria, providing a nuanced view of signal strength.
● Integrated Trend Filtering : Offers an optional Exponential Moving Average (EMA)-based trend filter to ensure signals align with the broader market direction, reducing false positives in ranging markets.

📖 Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
⚙️ Core Delta & Volume Engine
● Minimum Volume Lookback (Bars)
○ Default: 9
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 5-50)
○ Description: Defines the number of preceding bars used to calculate the average volume and delta. Bars with volume below this average won't be considered for high-volume signals. A shorter lookback is more reactive to recent changes, while a longer one provides a smoother average.
📈 Anomaly Detection Settings
Delta Z-Score Anomaly Threshold
○ Default: 2.5
○ Range: Float (e.g., 1.0-5.0+)
○ Description: The number of standard deviations from the mean that a bar's delta must exceed to be considered a significant anomaly. A higher threshold means fewer, but potentially stronger, signals. A lower threshold will generate more signals, which might include less significant events. Experiment to find the optimal balance for your trading style.
🔬 Context Filters
Enable Trend Filter
○ Default: False
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: When enabled, signals will only be generated if they align with the current market trend as determined by the EMAs (e.g., only bullish signals in an uptrend, bearish in a downtrend). This helps to filter out counter-trend noise.
● Trend EMA Fast
○ Default: 50
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 10-100)
○ Description: The period for the faster Exponential Moving Average used in the trend filter. In combination with the slow EMA, it defines the trend direction.
● Trend EMA Slow
○ Default: 200
○ Range: Integer (e.g., 100-400)
○ Description: The period for the slower Exponential Moving Average used in the trend filter. The relationship between the fast and slow EMA determines if the market is in an uptrend (fast > slow) or downtrend (fast < slow).
🎨 Visual & UI Settings
● Show Info Dashboard
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Toggles the visibility of the dashboard on the chart, which provides a summary of market trend and the last detected signal.
● Show Dashboard Tooltip
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Toggles a reminder message in the dashboard to hover over signal labels for more detailed information.
● Show Delta Anomaly Bar Colors
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Enables or disables the coloring of bars based on their delta direction and whether they represent a significant anomaly.
● Show Signal Labels
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: Controls the visibility of the “📈” or “📉” labels that appear on the chart when a delta anomaly signal is generated.
🔔 Alert Settings
Alert on Delta Anomaly
○ Default: True
○ Range: Boolean (True/False)
○ Description: When enabled, this setting allows you to set up alerts in TradingView that will trigger whenever a new bullish or bearish delta anomaly is detected.
✅ Best Use Cases
Early Trend Reversal / Continuation Detection: Identify strong surges of buying/selling pressure at key support/resistance levels that could indicate a reversal or the continuation of a strong move.
● Confirmation of Breakouts: Use high-confidence delta anomalies to confirm the validity of price breakouts, indicating strong conviction behind the move.
● Entry and Exit Points: Pinpoint precise entry opportunities when anomalies align with your trading strategy, or identify potential exhaustion signals for exiting trades.
● Scalping and Day Trading: The indicator’s sensitivity to intraday buying/selling imbalances makes it highly effective for short-term trading strategies.
● Market Sentiment Analysis: Gain a real-time understanding of underlying market sentiment by observing the prevalence and strength of bullish vs. bearish anomalies.
⚠️ Limitations
Estimated Delta: The script uses a simplified method to estimate delta based on bar close relative to its range, not actual order book or footprint data. While effective, it’s an approximation.
● Sensitivity to Z-Score Threshold: The effectiveness heavily relies on the `Delta Z-Score Anomaly Threshold`. Too low, and you’ll get many false positives; too high, and you might miss valid signals.
● Confirmation Criteria: The 4-star confidence level’s “confirmation” relies on specific subsequent bar conditions and previous confirmed signals, which might be too strict or specific for all contexts.
● Requires Context: While powerful, VFAS is best used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and price action to form a comprehensive trading strategy. It is not a standalone “buy/sell” signal.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Statistical Rigor: The application of Z-score analysis to bar delta provides an objective, statistically-driven way to identify true anomalies, moving beyond arbitrary thresholds.
● Multi-Factor Confidence Scoring: The unique 1-4 star confidence system integrates multiple market dynamics (volume, trend alignment, specific follow-through) into a single, easy-to-interpret rating.
● User-Friendly Design: From the intuitive dashboard to the detailed signal tooltips, the indicator prioritizes clear and accessible information for traders of all experience levels.
🔬 How It Works
1. Bar Delta Calculation:
● The script first estimates the “buy volume” and “sell volume” for each bar. This is done by assuming that volume proportional to the distance from the low to the close represents buying, and volume proportional to the distance from the high to the close represents selling.
● How this contributes: This provides a proxy for the net buying or selling pressure (delta) within that specific price bar, even without access to actual footprint data.
2. Volume & Delta Z-Score Analysis:
● The average volume over a user-defined lookback period is calculated. Bars with volume less than twice this average are generally considered of lower interest.
● The Z-score for the calculated bar delta is computed. The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the current bar’s delta is from its average delta over the `Minimum Volume Lookback` period.
● How this contributes: A high positive Z-score indicates a bullish delta anomaly (significantly more buying than usual), while a high negative Z-score indicates a bearish delta anomaly (significantly more selling than usual). This identifies statistically unusual levels of pressure.
3. Trend Filtering (Optional):
● Two Exponential Moving Averages (Fast and Slow EMA) are used to determine the prevailing market trend. An uptrend is identified when the Fast EMA is above the Slow EMA, and a downtrend when the Fast EMA is below the Slow EMA.
● How this contributes: If enabled, the indicator will only display bullish delta anomalies during an uptrend and bearish delta anomalies during a downtrend, helping to confirm signals within the broader market context and avoid counter-trend signals.
4. Signal Generation & Confidence Scoring:
● When a delta Z-score exceeds the user-defined anomaly threshold, a signal is generated.
● This signal is then passed through a multi-factor confidence algorithm (`f_calculateConfidence`). It awards stars based on: high volume presence, alignment with the overall trend (if enabled), and a fourth star for very strong Z-scores (above 3.0) combined with specific follow-through candle patterns after a cooling-off period from a previous confirmed signal.
● How this contributes: Provides a qualitative rating (1-4 stars) for each anomaly, allowing traders to quickly assess the potential significance and reliability of the signal.
💡 Note:
The PhenLabs Volume Footprint Anomaly Scanner is a powerful analytical tool, but it’s crucial to understand that no indicator guarantees profit. Always backtest and forward-test the indicator settings on your chosen assets and timeframes. Consider integrating VFAS with your existing trading strategy, using its signals as confirmation for entries, exits, or trend bias. The Z-score threshold is highly customizable; lower values will yield more signals (including potential noise), while higher values will provide fewer but potentially higher-conviction signals. Adjust this parameter based on market volatility and your risk tolerance. Remember to combine statistical insights from VFAS with price action, support/resistance levels, and your overall market outlook for optimal results.

Volume MAs Oscillator | Lyro RSVolume MAs Oscillator | Lyro RS
Overview
The Volume MAs Oscillator is a powerful volume‑adjusted momentum tool that combines custom‑weighted moving averages on volume‑weighted price with smoothed deviation bands. It offers dynamic insights into trend direction, overbought/oversold conditions, and relative valuation — all within a single indicator
Key Features
Volume‑Adjusted Moving Averages: Moving averages can be volume‑weighted using the following formula: a moving average of (Price × Volume) divided by a moving average of Volume. This formula is applied across more than 14 different moving averages; however, it is not used with the VWMA, as VWMA is inherently a volume-weighted moving average.
Percentage Oscillator: Displays the normalized difference: (source – MA) / MA * 100, centered around zero for easy interpretation of strength and direction.
Deviation Bands: Builds upper and lower bands from standard deviation of the oscillator over a selected lookback, with distinct positive/negative multipliers and optional smoothing to reduce noise.
Inputs: Band Length, Band Smoothing, Positive Band Multiplier, Negative Band Multiplier.
Multi‑Mode Signal System:
1. Trend Mode – Colors oscillator according to breaks above (bullish) or below (bearish) respective bands.
2. Reversion Mode – Inverses color logic: signals overextensions beyond bands as reversion opportunities, greys inside the bands.
3. Valuation Mode – Applies a gradient color scale (UpC ⇄ DnC) to reflect relative valuation strength.
Customizable Visuals: Select from 5 pre‑set palettes—Classic, Mystic, Major Themes, Accented, Royal—or define your own custom bullish/bearish colors.
Chart enhancements include color‑coded oscillator line, deviation bands, glow‑effect midline at zero, background shading and candlestick/bar coloring aligned to signal mode.
Built‑In Signals: Automatically plots ▲ oversold and ▼ overbought markers upon crosses of lower/upper bands (in trend or reversion modes), enhancing signal clarity.
How It Works
MA Calculation – Applies the selected MA type to price × volume (normalized by MA of volume) or direct VWMA.
Oscillator Output – Calculates the % difference of source vs. derived MA.
Band Construction – Computes rolling standard deviation; applies user‑defined multipliers; smooths bands with exponential blending.
Mode-Dependent Coloring & Signals –
• Trend: Highlights strength trends via band cross coloring.
• Reversion: Flags extremes beyond bands as potential pullbacks.
• Valuation: Uses gradient to reflect oscillator’s position relative to recent range.
Signal Markers – Deploys arrows and color rules to flag overbought (▼) or oversold (▲) conditions when bands are breached.
Practical Use
Trend Confirmation – In Trend Mode, use upward price_diff cross above upper band as bullish; downward cross below lower band as bearish.
Mean Reversion – In Reversion Mode, fading extremes beyond bands may precede a retracement.
Relative Valuation – Valuation Mode shines when assessing how extended price_diff is, with gradient colors indicating valuation zones.
Bars/candles color‑coded to oscillator state boosts clarity of market tone and allows for rapid visual scanning.
Customization
Adjust MA type/length to tune responsiveness vs. smoothing.
Configure band settings for volatility sensitivity.
Toggle between signal modes for trend-following or reversion strategies.
Stylish visuals: pick or customize color schemes to match your chart setup.

RVOL - Relative Volume IntradayIn the context of intraday trading, RVOL stands for Relative Volume. It is a technical indicator that compares the current volume of a stock to its average volume over a specified period. A RVOL above 1 suggests higher than average trading volume, potentially indicating increased interest and volatility.
The precise definition of real time relative volume is current cumulative volume up to the time of day divided by average cumulative volume up to this time of day. It means for example taking the volume from 09:45 to 10:00 and comparing it to what it does from 09:45 to 10:00 every day.
This indicator supports all timeframes from1 minute to 4 hours.
Volume Cluster Support & ResistanceVolume Cluster Support & Resistance
This indicator identifies potential Support and Resistance (S/R) levels on the chart using Volume-Based Point of Control (POC) Clustering. It offers extensive customization for calculation parameters, display styles, and visualization options, including S/R zones, color gradients, and historical reaction markers.
How It Works
Volume Based S/R:
Scans the specified Clustering Lookback period for "High Volume Bars", defined as bars where volume exceeds the average volume (over Volume Lookback Period) multiplied by the High Volume Threshold Multiplier.
Calculates the Point of Control (POC) for each high-volume bar using hl2.
Clusters these high-volume bar POCs: POCs within a proximity defined by Cluster Proximity (ATR) (Average True Range multiplier) are grouped together.
Filters these clusters, requiring a Min Bars in Cluster to form a valid S/R zone.
(Image showing the indicator being used on the Bitcoin 5min chart)
The center price of valid clusters determines the S/R level. Clusters above the current price become potential Resistance, and those below become potential Support.
Calculates the offset based on the most recent bar included in the cluster.
Level Selection & Display:
The indicator identifies multiple potential S/R levels.
It then selects and displays the top Number of S/R Levels to Display support levels below the current price and resistance levels above the current price.
(Image showing the indicator on the GBP/USD 5min chart)
ATR Usage:
The Average True Range (ta.atr(14)) is used in two key areas:
Determining the proximity threshold for grouping POCs in the 'Volume Based' clustering (clusterProximityAtr).
Calculating the width of the S/R zones when 'Use Zone Visualization' is enabled (zoneAtrMultiplier).
Key Features & Components
Dual Calculation Methods: Choose between Pivot-based S/R or Volume-based POC clustering.
Volume Confirmation: Pivots require volume confirmation; Volume method directly analyzes high-volume bars.
POC Clustering: Groups high-volume areas to identify significant price zones.
Configurable Lookbacks: Adjust periods for volume averaging, pivot detection, and clustering analysis.
Dynamic S/R Display: Shows a configurable number of the most relevant S/R levels relative to the current price.
Optional Zone Visualization: Display levels as filled zones with configurable width (ATR-based), fill transparency, and border transparency. Includes a dashed center line.
Optional Historical Reactions: Mark past price interactions (lows bouncing off support zones, highs rejecting from resistance zones) directly on the chart (Warning: Can significantly impact performance).
Customizable Styling: Control line style (Solid, Dashed, Dotted), width, color (separate for Support & Resistance), and horizontal extension (None, Left, Right, Both).
Price Labels: Toggle visibility of price labels next to each S/R level/zone.
Visual Elements Explained
S/R Lines/Zones: Plotted lines or filled zones representing calculated support and resistance levels. Color-coded for Support (default green) and Resistance (default magenta).
Line/Zone Borders: Appearance controlled by Style settings (Style, Width, Extension). Can have a gradient color effect based on age if enabled.
Zone Fills: Semi-transparent fills for zones (if enabled), with configurable transparency. Fill color matches the border color (including gradient effect if enabled).
Zone Center Line: A thin, dashed line indicating the exact calculated S/R price within a zone.
Price Labels: Text labels showing the exact price of the S/R level.
Historical Reactions: Small dot markers appearing on historical bars where price potentially reacted to a displayed zone (only if Show Historical Reactions is enabled).
Configuration Options
Users can adjust the following parameters in the indicator settings:
Calculation Method: Select "Pivot Based" or "Volume Based".
Volume Zone Settings (Volume Based): Threshold multiplier, clustering lookback, cluster proximity (ATR), minimum bars per cluster.
Display Options: Toggle S/R visibility, price tags, set the number of levels to show.
Volume Settings: Volume lookback period, volume multiplier (for Pivot confirmation).
Style Settings: Line style, width, extension, support/resistance text and line colors, enable gradient coloring, set gradient start/end colors.
Zone Visualization: Enable/disable zones, set zone width (ATR multiplier), fill and border transparency, enable/disable historical reaction markers (performance warning).
Interpretation Notes
This indicator identifies potential areas of support and resistance based on historical price action and volume analysis. These levels are not guaranteed reversal points.
The 'Volume Based' method focuses on areas where significant trading activity occurred, while the 'Pivot Based' method focuses on price turning points confirmed by volume.
Use the displayed levels in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, price action patterns, and risk management strategies.
Be mindful of the performance impact when enabling Show Historical Reactions, especially on longer timeframes or with large lookback periods. The default setting is false for optimal performance.
The max_bars_back setting is optimized for performance; increasing it significantly may slow down chart loading.

Volume Weighted Median Price (VWMP)The volume is indeed crucial for confirming price moves and understanding market conviction. While many traders are familiar with VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price), this indicator introduces a lesser-known but powerful cousin: the Volume Weighted Median Price (VWMP).
What is VWMP?
Unlike VWAP, which calculates the average price weighted by volume over a period, VWMP identifies the median price level weighted by volume.
Think of it this way: If you line up all the trades within a specific lookback period, sorted by price, and then start accumulating the volume traded at each price level, the VWMP is the price level where 50% of the total volume occurred below it, and 50% occurred above it.
It essentially finds the "middle ground" of trading activity based on where the bulk of the volume actually traded, not just the average price.
Key Difference: VWMP vs. VWAP
VWAP: Volume Weighted Average Price. Sensitive to outliers (single large trades at extreme prices can skew the average).
VWMP: Volume Weighted Median Price. More robust to outliers. It represents the price that splits the period's volume distribution in half.
Because it uses the median, VWMP can sometimes provide a more stable or representative level of the "typical" price where significant volume is changing hands, especially in volatile markets or when large, anomalous trades occur.
How to Interpret and Use VWMP in trading
The VWMP plots as a line on your chart, similar to a moving average or VWAP. Here are a few ways traders might use it:
Dynamic Support and Resistance:
Like VWAP, the VWMP line can act as a dynamic level of interest.
Watch how price interacts with the VWMP. Consistent acceptance above VWMP might suggest bullish control and potential support.
Consistent rejection or acceptance below VWMP might indicate bearish control and potential resistance.
Trend Filter / Confirmation:
Uptrend: Look for price consistently staying above the VWMP line. Pullbacks to the VWMP that hold could offer entry opportunities.
Downtrend: Look for price consistently staying below the VWMP line. Rallies to the VWMP that fail could present shorting opportunities.
Use it to filter trades: Only take long trades if price is above VWMP, and short trades if below.
Mean Reversion Potential (Use with Caution):
When price extends significantly far away from the VWMP, some traders might look for potential reversion back towards this volume-based median level.
Important: This should not be used in isolation. Always look for confirmation from other indicators (like RSI, Stochastics, or candlestick patterns) before trading counter-trend reversions.
Confluence with Other Indicators:
VWMP works best when combined with other analysis tools.
Look for confluence: Does the VWMP align with a key Fibonacci level, a standard moving average, or a prior support/resistance zone? This confluence strengthens the level's potential significance.
Considerations
Lookback Period: The length input is crucial. A shorter period makes VWMP more responsive to recent action; a longer period makes it smoother and reflects longer-term volume distribution. Experiment to find what suits your timeframe and trading style.
Lagging Nature: Like all indicators based on past data, VWMP is inherently lagging. It reflects past volume distribution, not the future.
Market Context: Its effectiveness can vary depending on the market conditions (trending vs. ranging) and the asset being traded.
Modified Volume IndicatorThis indicator colors volume bars based on price and range conditions for a given period:
Green Bars:
The close is at least 70% of the way up the daily range (from the low).
The close is also 1% or more above the low.
Red Bars:
The close is at least 70% of the way down the daily range (from the high).
The close is also 1% or more below the high.
Gray Bars:
Volume bars that don’t meet the above conditions are neutral.
Purpose
Green Bars highlight strong upward closes.
Red Bars indicate weak downward closes.
Gray Bars show neutral or inconclusive price movement.
This indicator helps traders identify momentum shifts and trend strength in real-time.

Abnormal Delta Volume HistogramThis indicator can help traders spot potential turning points or heightened volatility and provides a dynamic measure of unusual market behavior by focusing on shifts in “delta volume.” Delta volume is approximated by assigning all of a bar’s volume to the bullish side if the close is higher than the open and to the bearish side if the close is lower. The result is a net volume measure that can hint at which side—buyers or sellers—has the upper hand. By comparing this delta volume to its historical averages and measuring how far current readings deviate in terms of standard deviations, the indicator can highlight bars that reflect significantly stronger than normal buying or selling pressure.
A histogram visualizes these delta volume values on a bar-by-bar basis, while additional reference lines for the mean and threshold boundaries allow traders to quickly identify abnormal conditions. When the histogram bars extend beyond the threshold lines, and are colored differently to signal abnormality, it can draw the trader’s eye to periods when market participation or sentiment may be shifting rapidly. This can be used as an early warning signal, prompting further investigation into price action, external news, or significant events that may be driving unusual volume patterns.

Volume-MACD-RSI Integrated StrategyDescription:
This script integrates three well-known technical analysis tools—Volume, MACD, and RSI—into a single signal meant to help traders identify potential turning points under strong market conditions.
Concept Overview:
Volume Filter: We compare the current bar’s volume to a 20-period volume average and require it to exceed a specified multiplier. This ensures that signals occur only during periods of heightened market participation. The logic is that moves on low volume are less reliable, so we wait for increased activity to confirm potential trend changes.
MACD Momentum Shift:
We incorporate MACD crossovers to determine when momentum is changing direction. MACD is a popular momentum indicator that identifies shifts in trend by comparing short-term and long-term EMAs. A bullish crossover (MACD line crossing above the signal line) may suggest upward momentum is building, while a bearish crossunder can indicate momentum turning downward.
RSI Market Condition Check:
RSI helps us identify overbought or oversold conditions. By requiring that RSI be oversold on buy signals and overbought on sell signals, we attempt to pinpoint entries where price could be at an extreme. The idea is to position entries or exits at junctures where price may be due for a reversal.
How the Script Works Together:
Volume Confirmation: No signals fire unless there’s strong volume. This reduces false positives.
MACD Momentum Check: Once volume confirms market interest, MACD crossover events serve as a trigger to initiate consideration of a trade signal.
RSI Condition: Finally, RSI determines whether the market is at an extreme. This final layer helps ensure we only act on signals that have both momentum shift and a price at an extreme level, potentially increasing the reliability of signals.
Intended Use:
This script can help highlight potential reversal points or trend shifts during active market periods.
Traders can use these signals as a starting point for deeper analysis. For instance, a “BUY” arrow may prompt a trader to investigate the market context, confirm with other methods, or look for patterns that further support a long entry.
The script is best used on markets with reliable volume data, such as stocks or futures, and can be experimented with across different timeframes. Adjusting the RSI thresholds, MACD parameters, and volume multiplier can help tailor it to specific instruments or trading styles.
Chart Setup:
When adding this script to your chart, it should be the only indicator present, so you can clearly see the red “BUY” arrows and green “SELL” arrows at the candle closes where signals occur.
The chart should be kept clean and uncluttered for clarity. No other indicators are necessary since the logic is already integrated into this single script.
Cumulative Volume Delta LineThis script is a refined version of TradingView's Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator. It features a CVD line for lower time frames and automatically switches to a Simple Moving Average (SMA) line on daily time frames and higher. This functionality makes it easier to spot Volume Delta divergences on daily charts while maintaining utility on intraday time frames.
Key Features:
Line Chart and Oscillator Configuration: Unlike TradingView's standard CVD, this script can be configured as a line chart or an oscillator, enhancing flexibility and usability.
Line chart for easier divergence spotting: The line chart format is preferred for spotting divergences, providing a clearer visual representation compared to other formats.
Accurate Calculations: Many older community CVD scripts use approximate calculations that can be inaccurate. This script leverages TradingView's own calculations, which are the most accurate available without tick data feeds.
Intraday and Daily Adaptation: The Traditional CVD script is a per bar volume delta on Daily and higher timeframes and cumulative volume delta for intraday session timeframes which makes it very hard to spot divergences on higher timeframes. This script resolves that by using an SMA on daily time frames and higher.
Auto-Switching Feature: The script intelligently switches between the CVD line and the SMA line based on the active time frame. This feature can be toggled off if you prefer to use the CVD on all time frames or the SMA on all time frames.
Customizable Settings: Building on TradingView's CVD script, this version includes all the same settings in addition to the new auto-switch, SMA length etc.
About Volume Delta and Cumulative Volume Delta:
Volume Delta is the difference between the buying and selling volume within a specified period. It helps traders understand the net buying or selling pressure in the market. A positive volume delta indicates more buying activity, while a negative volume delta indicates more selling activity.
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) aggregates the volume delta over time to provide a running total. This cumulative approach helps traders see the overall buying and selling pressure trends, making it easier to identify potential reversals or continuations in the market trend.
Volume True Range (VTR) and Volume Average True Range (VATR)This indicator uses lower-timeframe cumulative volume delta (CVD) candles to calculate the Volume True Range (VTR) of your instrument. The VTR is calculated similarly to the traditional true range, but uses volume instead (no price is involved in the calculation other than in the lower timeframe bar delta assignments). I haven't seen this concept developed before on TradingView or frankly the Internet, but I thought it seemed fairly intuitive; we can calculate the lower timeframe volume delta candles, so it makes sense to calculate a volume true range, which could show divergences in volume and price.
The VTR is calculated by the following code which uses the lower-timeframe CVD candles:
volumeTR = math.max(cvd_high - cvd_low, math.abs(cvd_high - nz(cvd_close )), math.abs(cvd_low - nz(cvd_close )))
The Volume Average True Range (VATR) is calculated by taking the RMA of the VTR, similarly to the ATR.
I would like to thank TradingView for the calculation of up/down intrabar volumes, which I referenced from their 'CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles' indicator.
How to Use
The VTR and VATR can be used to identify price-volume trends and volatility divergences. A strong VTR (above the VATR of your specified length) can indicate the start or continuation of a trend, which you can identify via the VTR color (determined via price candle colors). Similarly, a rising VATR with most VTR bars of a specific color (green or red) will show that volume is moving in a specific price direction.
Additionally, the VATR plotted next to the ATR of the same length will show you volume volatility divergences. A strong VATR next to a muted/flat ATR indicates strong volume movement, which price might follow in the upcoming bars. Or, for trend reversals, a decreasing ATR after a strong trend combined with a rising VATR of the opposite trend may show a possible reversal.
Hope you all enjoy this.

* Quick note: lower timeframe analysis returns only so much data. If you are on a high timeframe and the indicator is showing only a limited amount of bars, raise the lower timeframe (but still keep it below your current timeframe) so that the arrays can return more bars for you.
