Ultimate Market Structure [Alpha Extract]Ultimate Market Structure
A comprehensive market structure analysis tool that combines advanced swing point detection, imbalance zone identification, and intelligent break analysis to identify high-probability trading opportunities.Utilizing a sophisticated trend scoring system, this indicator classifies market conditions and provides clear signals for structure breaks, directional changes, and fair value gap detection with institutional-grade precision.
🔶 Advanced Swing Point Detection
Identifies pivot highs and lows using configurable lookback periods with optional close-based analysis for cleaner signals. The system automatically labels swing points as Higher Highs (HH), Lower Highs (LH), Higher Lows (HL), and Lower Lows (LL) while providing advanced classifications including "rising_high", "falling_high", "rising_low", "falling_low", "peak_high", and "valley_low" for nuanced market analysis.
swingHighPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivothigh(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivothigh(high, swingLength, swingLength)
swingLowPrice = useClosesForStructure ? ta.pivotlow(close, swingLength, swingLength) : ta.pivotlow(low, swingLength, swingLength)
classification = classifyStructurePoint(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
significance = calculateSignificance(structureHighPrice, upperStructure, true)
🔶 Significance Scoring System
Each structure point receives a significance level on a 1-5 scale based on its distance from previous points, helping prioritize the most important levels. This intelligent scoring system ensures traders focus on the most meaningful structure breaks while filtering out minor noise.
🔶 Comprehensive Trend Analysis
Calculates momentum, strength, direction, and confidence levels using volatility-normalized price changes and multi-timeframe correlation. The system provides real-time trend state tracking with bullish (+1), bearish (-1), or neutral (0) direction assessment and 0-100 confidence scoring.
// Calculate trend momentum using rate of change and volatility
calculateTrendMomentum(lookback) =>
priceChange = (close - close ) / close * 100
avgVolatility = ta.atr(lookback) / close * 100
momentum = priceChange / (avgVolatility + 0.0001)
momentum
// Calculate trend strength using multiple timeframe correlation
calculateTrendStrength(shortPeriod, longPeriod) =>
shortMA = ta.sma(close, shortPeriod)
longMA = ta.sma(close, longPeriod)
separation = math.abs(shortMA - longMA) / longMA * 100
strength = separation * slopeAlignment
❓How It Works
🔶 Imbalance Zone Detection
Identifies Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) between consecutive candles where price gaps create unfilled areas. These zones are displayed as semi-transparent boxes with optional center line mitigation tracking, highlighting potential support and resistance levels where institutional players often react.
// Detect Fair Value Gaps
detectPriceImbalance() =>
currentHigh = high
currentLow = low
refHigh = high
refLow = low
if currentOpen > currentClose
if currentHigh - refLow < 0
upperBound = currentClose - (currentClose - refLow)
lowerBound = currentClose - (currentClose - currentHigh)
centerPoint = (upperBound + lowerBound) / 2
newZone = ImbalanceZone.new(
zoneBox = box.new(bar_index, upperBound, rightEdge, lowerBound,
bgcolor=bullishImbalanceColor, border_color=hiddenColor)
)
🔶 Structure Break Analysis
Determines Break of Structure (BOS) for trend continuation and Directional Change (DC) for trend reversals with advanced classification as "continuation", "reversal", or "neutral". The system compares pre-trend and post-trend states for each break, providing comprehensive trend change momentum analysis.
🔶 Intelligent Zone Management
Features partial mitigation tracking when price enters but doesn't fully fill zones, with automatic zone boundary adjustment during partial fills. Smart array management keeps only recent structure points for optimal performance while preventing duplicate signals from the same level.
🔶 Liquidity Zone Detection
Automatically identifies potential liquidity zones at key structure points for institutional trading analysis. The system tracks broken structure points and provides adaptive zone extension with configurable time-based limits for imbalance areas.
🔶 Visual Structure Mapping
Provides clear visual indicators including swing labels with color-coded significance levels, dashed lines connecting break points with BOS/DC labels, and break signals for continuation and reversal patterns. The adaptive zones feature smart management with automatic mitigation tracking.
🔶 Market Structure Interpretation
HH/HL patterns indicate bullish market structure with trend continuation likelihood, while LH/LL patterns signal bearish structure with downtrend continuation expected. BOS signals represent structure breaks in trend direction for continuation opportunities, while DC signals warn of potential reversals.
🔶 Performance Optimization
Automatic cleanup of old structure points (keeps last 8 points), recent break tracking (keeps last 5 break events), and efficient array management ensure smooth performance across all timeframes and market conditions.

Volumeanalysis
Price Volume Trend [sgbpulse]1. Introduction: What is Price Volume Trend (PVT)?
The Price Volume Trend (PVT) indicator is a powerful technical analysis tool designed to measure buying and selling pressure in the market based on price changes relative to trading volume. Unlike other indicators that focus solely on volume or price, PVT combines both components to provide a more comprehensive picture of trend strength.
How is it Calculated?
The PVT is calculated by adding or subtracting a proportional part of the daily volume from a cumulative total.
When the closing price rises, a proportional part of the daily volume (based on the percentage price change) is added to the previous PVT value.
When the closing price falls, a proportional part of the daily volume is subtracted from the previous PVT value.
If there is no change in price, the PVT value remains unchanged.
The result of this calculation is a cumulative line that rises when buying pressure is strong and falls when selling pressure dominates.
2. Why PVT? Comparison to Similar Indicators
While other indicators measure volume-price pressure, PVT offers a unique advantage:
PVT vs. On-Balance Volume (OBV):
OBV simply adds or subtracts the entire day's volume based on the closing direction (up/down), regardless of the magnitude of the price change. This means a 0.1% price change is treated the same as a 10% change.
PVT, on the other hand, gives proportional weight to volume based on the percentage price change. A trading day with a large price increase and high volume will impact the PVT significantly more than a small price increase with the same volume. This makes PVT more sensitive to trend strength and changes within it.
PVT vs. Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D Line):
The A/D Line focuses on the relationship between the closing price and the bar's trading range (Close Location Value) and multiplies it by volume. It indicates whether the pressure is buying or selling within a single bar.
PVT focuses on the change between closing prices of consecutive bars, multiplying this by volume. It better reflects the flow of money into or out of an asset over time.
By combining volume with percentage price change, PVT provides deeper insights into trend confirmation, identifying divergences between price and volume, and spotting signs of weakness or strength in the current trend.
3. Indicator Settings (Inputs)
The "Price Volume Trend " indicator offers great flexibility for customization to your specific needs through the following settings:
Moving Average Type: Allows you to select the type of moving average used for the central line on the PVT. Your choice here will affect the line's responsiveness to PVT movements.
- "None" : No moving average will be displayed on the PVT.
- "SMA" (Simple Moving Average): A simple average, smoother, ideal for identifying longer-term trends in PVT.
- "SMA + Bollinger Bands": This unique option not only displays a Simple Moving Average but also activates the Bollinger Bands around the PVT. This is the recommended option for analyzing volatility and ranges using Bollinger Bands.
- "EMA" (Exponential Moving Average): An exponential average, giving more weight to recent data, responding faster to changes in PVT.
- "SMMA (RMA)" (Smoothed Moving Average): A smoothed average, providing extra smoothing, less sensitive to noise.
- "WMA" (Weighted Moving Average): A weighted average, giving progressively more weight to recent data, responding very quickly to changes in PVT.
Moving Average Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the moving average (and, if applicable, the standard deviation for the Bollinger Bands). A lower value will make the line more responsive, while a higher value will smooth it out.
PVT BB StdDev (Bollinger Bands Standard Deviation): Determines the width of the Bollinger Bands. A higher value will result in wider bands, making it less likely for the PVT to cross them. The standard value is 2.0.
4. Visual Aid: Current PVT Level Line
This indicator includes a unique and highly useful visual feature: a dynamic horizontal line displayed on the PVT graph.
Purpose: This line marks the exact level of the PVT on the most recent trading bar. It extends across the entire chart, allowing for a quick and intuitive comparison of the current level to past levels.
Why is it Important?
- Identifying Divergences: Often, an asset's price may be lower or higher than past levels, but the PVT level might be different. This auxiliary line makes it easy to spot situations where PVT is at a higher level when the price is lower, or vice-versa, which can signal potential trend changes (e.g., higher PVT than in the past while price is low could indicate strong accumulation).
- Quick Direction Indication: The line's color changes dynamically: it will be green if the PVT value on the last bar has increased (or remained the same) relative to the previous bar (indicating positive buying pressure), and red if the PVT value has decreased relative to the previous bar (indicating selling pressure). This provides an immediate visual cue about the direction of the cumulative momentum.

Exchanges Combined Volume📊 Exchanges Combined Volume
(Aggregated Multi-Exchange Volume: Binance, OKX, Bybit, etc.) by BIGTAKER*
🔍 Purpose
The Exchanges Combined Volume indicator aggregates real-time trading volumes from multiple global exchanges for a specific asset (e.g., a cryptocurrency).
Instead of relying on a single market, it provides a broader view of market activity, helping users detect abnormal volume behavior and increased participation across the entire market.
⚙️ Supported Exchanges
* USDT Markets
`Binance`, `OKX`, `Bybit`, `Bitget`, `Gate.io`
* USD Markets
`Coinbase`, `Bitfinex`, `Bitstamp`
* Default
Includes the current chart symbol’s native volume by default.
🧮 Core Calculation Logic
1. 📛 Symbol Normalization (cleanSymbol)
Prefixes such as `1000`, `10000`, `100000`, or `1M` (common in leveraged tickers) are automatically removed to extract the base token.
> Example:
> `1000PEPEUSDT` → `PEPEUSDT`
2. 📈 Volume Requests from External Exchanges
Volume is retrieved using the `` format (e.g., `'BINANCE:PEPEUSDT'`, `'COINBASE:BTCUSD'`).
Invalid or delisted pairs are safely ignored using `ignore_invalid_symbol=true`.
3. 📊 Total Volume Calculation
totalVolume = usdtVolume + usdVolume + currentSymbolVolume
The indicator sums the volume from all target exchanges plus the volume from the current chart symbol.
4. 📏 Comparison to Average Volume
* Period: `length = 60` (Simple Moving Average over 60 candles)
* A candle is considered **high-intensity** if:
5. 🎨 Visual Styling
| Condition | Color | Meaning |
| -------------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------- |
| High-volume Bullish Candle | Light Green (#30db78) | Strong Buying Activity |
| High-volume Bearish Candle | Bright Red (#ff0000) | Strong Selling Activity |
| Normal Bullish Candle | Dark Green (#3c7058) | Regular Buying Volume |
| Normal Bearish Candle | Dark Red (#682e2c) | Regular Selling Volume |
📌 Use Cases
* Detect synchronized volume surges across major global exchanges.
* Identify pre-pump accumulation phases on altcoins.
* Combine with premium gap indicators (e.g., Kimchi Premium) to identify leading market sentiment.
* Confirm breakout momentum with multi-exchange volume validation.
📘 Notes & Warnings
* Listing differences across exchanges may result in **zero volume** on some platforms.
* Prefixes like `1000`, `1M`, etc., are automatically removed to **improve symbol matching accuracy**.
* As volume units are not standardized, this indicator is best suited for **absolute value analysis**, not ratio-based comparisons.
Diamond Peaks [EdgeTerminal]The Diamond Peaks indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool that uses a few mathematical models to identify high-probability trading opportunities. This indicator goes beyond traditional support and resistance identification by incorporating volume analysis, momentum divergences, advanced price action patterns, and market sentiment indicators to generate premium-quality buy and sell signals.
Dynamic Support/Resistance Calculation
The indicator employs an adaptive algorithm that calculates support and resistance levels using a volatility-adjusted lookback period. The base calculation uses ta.highest(length) and ta.lowest(length) functions, where the length parameter is dynamically adjusted using the formula: adjusted_length = base_length * (1 + (volatility_ratio - 1) * volatility_factor). The volatility ratio is computed as current_ATR / average_ATR over a 50-period window, ensuring the lookback period expands during volatile conditions and contracts during calm periods. This mathematical approach prevents the indicator from using fixed periods that may become irrelevant during different market regimes.
Momentum Divergence Detection Algorithm
The divergence detection system uses a mathematical comparison between price series and oscillator values over a specified lookback period. For bullish divergences, the algorithm identifies when recent_low < previous_low while simultaneously indicator_at_recent_low > indicator_at_previous_low. The inverse logic applies to bearish divergences. The system tracks both RSI (calculated using Pine Script's standard ta.rsi() function with Wilder's smoothing) and MACD (using ta.macd() with exponential moving averages). The mathematical rigor ensures that divergences are only flagged when there's a clear mathematical relationship between price momentum and the underlying oscillator momentum, eliminating false signals from minor price fluctuations.
Volume Analysis Mathematical Framework
The volume analysis component uses multiple mathematical transformations to assess market participation. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is calculated as ∑(buying_volume - selling_volume) where buying_volume occurs when close > open and selling_volume when close < open. The relative volume calculation uses current_volume / ta.sma(volume, period) to normalize current activity against historical averages. Volume Rate of Change employs ta.roc(volume, period) = (current_volume - volume ) / volume * 100 to measure volume acceleration. Large trade detection uses a threshold multiplier against the volume moving average, mathematically identifying institutional activity when relative_volume > threshold_multiplier.
Advanced Price Action Mathematics
The Wyckoff analysis component uses mathematical volume climax detection by comparing current volume against ta.highest(volume, 50) * 0.8, while price compression is measured using (high - low) < ta.atr(20) * 0.5. Liquidity sweep detection employs percentage-based calculations: bullish sweeps occur when low < recent_low * (1 - threshold_percentage/100) followed by close > recent_low. Supply and demand zones are mathematically validated by tracking subsequent price action over a defined period, with zone strength calculated as the count of bars where price respects the zone boundaries. Fair value gaps are identified using ATR-based thresholds: gap_size > ta.atr(14) * 0.5.
Sentiment and Market Regime Mathematics
The sentiment analysis employs a multi-factor mathematical model. The fear/greed index uses volatility normalization: 100 - min(100, stdev(price_changes, period) * scaling_factor). Market regime classification uses EMA crossover mathematics with additional ADX-based trend strength validation. The trend strength calculation implements a modified ADX algorithm: DX = |+DI - -DI| / (+DI + -DI) * 100, then ADX = RMA(DX, period). Bull regime requires short_EMA > long_EMA AND ADX > 25 AND +DI > -DI. The mathematical framework ensures objective regime classification without subjective interpretation.
Confluence Scoring Mathematical Model
The confluence scoring system uses a weighted linear combination: Score = (divergence_component * 0.25) + (volume_component * 0.25) + (price_action_component * 0.25) + (sentiment_component * 0.25) + contextual_bonuses. Each component is normalized to a 0-100 scale using percentile rankings and threshold comparisons. The mathematical model ensures that no single component can dominate the score, while contextual bonuses (regime alignment, volume confirmation, etc.) provide additional mathematical weight when multiple factors align. The final score is bounded using math.min(100, math.max(0, calculated_score)) to maintain mathematical consistency.
Vitality Field Mathematical Implementation
The vitality field uses a multi-factor scoring algorithm that combines trend direction (EMA crossover: trend_score = fast_EMA > slow_EMA ? 1 : -1), momentum (RSI-based: momentum_score = RSI > 50 ? 1 : -1), MACD position (macd_score = MACD_line > 0 ? 1 : -1), and volume confirmation. The final vitality score uses weighted mathematics: vitality_score = (trend * 0.4) + (momentum * 0.3) + (macd * 0.2) + (volume * 0.1). The field boundaries are calculated using ATR-based dynamic ranges: upper_boundary = price_center + (ATR * user_defined_multiplier), with EMA smoothing applied to prevent erratic boundary movements. The gradient effect uses mathematical transparency interpolation across multiple zones.
Signal Generation Mathematical Logic
The signal generation employs boolean algebra with multiple mathematical conditions that must simultaneously evaluate to true. Buy signals require: (confluence_score ≥ threshold) AND (divergence_detected = true) AND (relative_volume > 1.5) AND (volume_ROC > 25%) AND (RSI < 35) AND (trend_strength > minimum_ADX) AND (regime = bullish) AND (cooldown_expired = true) AND (last_signal ≠ buy). The mathematical precision ensures that signals only generate when all quantitative conditions are met, eliminating subjective interpretation. The cooldown mechanism uses bar counting mathematics: bars_since_last_signal = current_bar_index - last_signal_bar_index ≥ cooldown_period. This mathematical framework provides objective, repeatable signal generation that can be backtested and validated statistically.
This mathematical foundation ensures the indicator operates on objective, quantifiable principles rather than subjective interpretation, making it suitable for algorithmic trading and systematic analysis while maintaining transparency in its computational methodology.
* for now, we're planning to keep the source code private as we try to improve the models used here and allow a small group to test them. My goal is to eventually use the multiple models in this indicator as their own free and open source indicators. If you'd like to use this indicator, please send me a message to get access.

🔶 USAGE
By default, the tool displays daily, weekly, and monthly volume distributions, highlighting the accumulated volume within each row.
Each distribution shows the volume at each price, as well as three lines: the top and bottom prices, and the price at which the most volume was traded.
The reported accumulated volume can be useful for highlighting which price areas are of the most interest to traders, with the specific timeframe specifying whether this interest is long-term or short-term.
🔹 Timeframes & Rows
Traders can adjust the timeframe and the number of rows for each volume distribution.
This is useful for multi-timeframe analysis of volume at the same price levels, or for obtaining detailed data within the same timeframe.
The chart above shows three volume distributions with the same monthly timeframe but a different number of rows; each is more detailed than the previous one.
🔹 Total vs Buy & Sell Volume
Traders can choose to display either the total volume or the buy and sell volumes.
As we can see on the above chart, the background of each row uses a gradient that is a function of the delta between the buy and sell volumes.
This is useful to determine which areas attract buyers and sellers.
🔶 SETTINGS
Volume Display: Select between total volume and buy and sell volume.
Distance between each box: Adjust the spacing of the volume distributions.
Period A: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Period B: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
Period C: Select a timeframe and the number of rows.
BuySell Volume Bar Chart• Separates estimated Buy and Sell volume per bar using price action logic
• Plots them in a dual-axis format: buy volume goes up, sell volume goes down
• Colors are dynamic — whichever side dominates gets the stronger color, the weaker side is shaded
• Includes a live difference metric (Δ Volume) as a third value in the indicator title
• Automatically filters out flat/no-move bars to avoid misleading spikes
The live difference metric ("Δ Volume") can be controlled.
This metric calculates the difference between the buying and selling volume live, where it takes the Buy Volume - Sell Volume.
This difference is then displayed in either green (BV > SV) or red (SV > BV). You can toggle it on/off by entering the indicator's settings or double tapping the indicator name on the TV chart.
Another pretty cool thing is the modular colors - you can customize your candle colors and shades to your liking within the code!
Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer is a smart tool for exposing hidden liquidity zones by combining a dynamic volume profile, clear liquidity levels, and intuitive volume bubbles directly on your price chart. It shows you exactly where significant volume is clustering inside your chosen lookback period — highlighting where big market participants may be defending price or planning breakouts.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Volume Profile Bins: Breaks your custom lookback range into 100 fine price bins, calculating total volume per bin to create a precise vertical liquidity histogram.
Liquidity Levels: Bins with high relative volume automatically plot as horizontal lines — thicker and brighter lines signal stronger liquidity concentrations.
Dynamic Coloring: Profile bins and liquidity levels adjust their colors live based on whether current price is trading above (support) or below (resistance).
Volume Bubbles: Each candle displays a bubble at its HLC3 price —
- The bubble’s size shows relative candle volume.
- Its color gradient indicates bullish or bearish volume: greenish for bullish candles, orange for bearish.
Bubble Labels: The largest bubbles automatically label the actual volume amount, revealing big hidden flows.
Range Box High/Low: Marks the absolute swing high and low inside the lookback window, clearly framing the active liquidity zone.
🔵 FEATURES
Smart, auto-scaled volume profile up to 200 candles (or custom).
Liquidity levels with dynamic thickness and color based on real-time volume.
Bubbles sized and colored to show both volume magnitude and bullish/bearish bias.
Largest bubbles labeled for fast detection of high-impact bars.
High and low price labels clearly show the analyzed range.
Toggle Volume Profile, Liquidity Levels, and Bubbles independently.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Watch for thick, bright liquidity levels — these zones mark where large orders or stop clusters are likely hidden.
Use dynamic coloring: if price is above a level, it’s support; if below, it’s resistance.
Pay special attention to big bubbles: these mark sudden spikes in traded volume and can signal absorption, traps, breakouts or significant price levels.
Combine with your existing confluence tools to confirm breakouts or fakeouts around visible liquidity clusters.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer transforms hidden order flow into an intuitive, color-coded map. You see at a glance where price is absorbing, consolidating, or ready to break — all powered by real-time volume behavior and smart visuals. It’s a must-have tool for traders who want to read liquidity and react ahead of the crowd.

Market Entropy Strategy V2.5This strategy is an updated version of a market entropy-based trading system. It removes EMA dependencies and introduces two indicators:
1. **Volatility Momentum Index (VMI)**: Measures volatility acceleration for timing entries (from calm to active phases) and exits (at peak chaos).
2. **Volume-Weighted Price Center (VWPC)**: A volume-weighted trend filter using typical price to determine overall market direction.
The strategy enters trades on transitions from low volatility ("calm") to increasing activity, filtered by trend direction. Exits occur when volatility reaches a high "chaos" threshold. It supports long, short, or both directions, with configurable parameters for optimization.
Backtest results depend on market conditions; use with caution and combine with your own analysis. No guarantees of performance.
Finance Nirvana Buy/Sell Signals Generator V1.1Finance Nirvana Buy Sell Indicator combines multiple layers of analysis into a single, streamlined overlay. It plots key trend and volatility structures—EMAs and Bollinger Bands—while computing a fast, zero-lag EMA (ZLEMA20) for more responsive trend detection. Extreme RSI and volume events are flagged directly on the chart, and classic two-bar price-action (Buy / Sell) signals are only triggered when confirmed by ATR-based volatility breakouts, ADX trend strength, dynamic RSI momentum filters, and volume confirmations. A multi-timeframe alignment table shows both “bullish vs. bearish” status and live RSI readings across 5m, 15m, 60m, 240m, and daily frames, and intraday pivot, support, and resistance levels are drawn for easy reference.

Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A smart volume-powered tool for identifying key support and resistance zones—enhanced with real-time volume histogram fills and high-volume markers.
Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels detects structural levels from swing highs and lows, and wraps them in dynamic histograms that reflect the relative volume strength around those zones. It highlights the strongest price levels not just by structure—but by the weight of market participation.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Price Zones: Support and resistance levels are drawn from recent price pivots, while volume is used to visually enhance these zones with filled histograms and highlight moments of peak activity using markers.
Histogram Fill = Activity Zone: The width and intensity of each filled zone adjusts to recent volume bursts.
High-Volume Alerts: Circle markers highlight moments of volume dominance directly on the levels—revealing pressure points of support/resistance.
Clean Visual Encoding: Red = resistance zones, green = support zones, orange = high-volume bars.
🔵 FEATURES
Detects pivot-based resistance (highs) and support (lows) using a customizable range length.
Wraps these levels in volume-weighted bands that expand/contract based on percentile volume.
Color fill intensity increases with rising volume pressure, creating a live histogram feel.
When volume > user-defined threshold , the indicator adds circle markers at the top and bottom of that price level zone.
Bar coloring highlights the candles that generated this high-volume behavior (orange by default).
Adjustable settings for all thresholds and colors, so traders can dial in volume sensitivity.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Identify volume-confirmed resistance and support zones for potential reversal or breakout setups.
Focus on levels with intense histogram fill and circle markers —they indicate strong participation.
Use bar coloring to track when key activity started and align it with broader market context.
Works well in combination with order blocks, trend indicators, or liquidity zones.
Ideal for day traders, scalpers, and volume-sensitive setups.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels elevates traditional support and resistance logic by anchoring it in volume context. Instead of relying solely on price action, it gives traders insight into where real conviction lies—by mapping how aggressively the market defended or rejected key levels. It's a visual, reactive, and volume-conscious upgrade to your structural toolkit.
Volume Overbought/Oversold Zones📊 What You’ll See on the Chart
Red Background or Red Triangle ABOVE a Candle
🔺 Means: Overbought Volume
→ Volume on that bar is much higher than average (as defined by your settings).
→ Suggests strong activity, possible exhaustion in the trend or an emotional spike.
→ It’s a warning: consider watching for signs of reversal, especially if price is already stretched.
Green Background or Green Triangle BELOW a Candle
🔻 Means: Oversold Volume
→ Volume on that bar is much lower than normal.
→ Suggests the market may be losing momentum, or few sellers are left.
→ Could signal an upcoming reversal or recovery if confirmed by price action.
Orange Line Below the Candles (Volume Moving Average)
📈 Shows the "normal" average volume over the last X candles (default is 20).
→ Helps you visually compare each bar’s volume to the average.
Gray Columns (Actual Volume Bars)
📊 These are your regular volume bars — they rise and fall based on how active each candle is.
🔍 What This Indicator Does (In Simple Words)
This indicator looks at trading volume—which is how many shares/contracts were traded in a given period—and compares it to what's considered "normal" for recent history. When volume is unusually high or low, it highlights those moments on the chart.
It tells you:
• When volume is much higher than normal → market might be overheated or experiencing a buying/selling frenzy.
• When volume is much lower than normal → market might be quiet, potentially indicating lack of interest or indecision.
These conditions are marked visually, so you can instantly spot them.
💡 How It Helps You As a Trader
1. Spotting Exhaustion in Trends (Overbought Signals)
If a market is going up and suddenly volume spikes way above normal, it may mean:
• The move is getting crowded (lots of buyers are already in).
• A reversal or pullback could be near because smart money may be taking profits.
Trading idea: Wait for high-volume up bars, then look for price weakness to consider a short or exit.
2. Identifying Hidden Opportunities (Oversold Signals)
If price is falling but volume drops unusually low, it might mean:
• Panic is fading.
• Sellers are losing energy.
• A bounce or trend reversal could happen soon.
Trading idea: After a volume drop in a downtrend, watch for bullish price patterns or momentum shifts to consider a buy.
3. Confirming or Doubting Breakouts
Volume is critical for confirming breakouts:
• If price breaks a key level with strong volume, it's more likely to continue.
• A breakout without volume could be a fake-out.
This indicator highlights volume surges that can help you confirm such moves.
📈 How to Use It in Practice
• Combine it with candlestick patterns, support/resistance, or momentum indicators.
• Use the background colors or shapes as a visual cue to pause and analyze.
• Adjust the sensitivity to suit fast-moving markets (like crypto) or slow ones (like large-cap stocks).
Uptrick: Universal Z-Score ValuationOverview
The Uptrick: Universal Z-Score Valuation is a tool designed to help traders spot when the market might be overreacting—whether that’s on the upside or the downside. It does this by combining the Z-scores of multiple key indicators into a single average, letting you see how far the current market conditions have stretched away from “normal.” This average is shown as a smooth line, supported by color-coded visuals, signal markers, optional background highlights, and a live breakdown table that shows the contribution of each indicator in real time. The focus here is on spotting potential reversals, not following trends. The indicator works well across all timeframes and asset classes, from fast intraday charts like the 1-minute and 5-minute, to higher timeframes such as the 4-hour, daily, or even weekly. Its universal design makes it suitable for any market — whether you're trading crypto, stocks, forex, or commodities.
Introduction
To understand what this indicator does, let’s start with the idea of a Z-score. In simple terms, a Z-score tells you how far a number is from the average of its recent history, measured in standard deviations. If the price of an asset is two standard deviations above its mean, that means it’s statistically “rare” or extended. That doesn’t guarantee a reversal—but it suggests the move is unusual enough to pay attention.
This concept isn’t new, but what this indicator does differently is apply the Z-score to a wide set of market signals—not just price. It looks at momentum, volatility, volume, risk-adjusted performance, and even institutional price baselines. Each of those indicators is normalized using Z-scores, and then they’re combined into one average. This gives you a single, easy-to-read line that summarizes whether the entire market is behaving abnormally. Instead of reacting to one indicator, you’re reacting to a statistically balanced blend.
Purpose
The goal of this script is to catch turning points—places where the market may be topping out or bottoming after becoming overstretched. It’s built for traders who want to fade sharp moves rather than follow trends. Think of moments when price explodes upward and starts pulling away from every moving average, volume spikes, volatility rises, and RSI shoots up. This tool is meant to spot those situations—not just when price is stretched, but when multiple different indicators agree that something is overdone.
Originality and Uniqueness
Most indicators that use Z-scores only apply them to one thing—price, RSI, or maybe Bollinger Bands. This one is different because it treats each indicator as a contributor to the full picture. You decide which ones to include, and the script averages them out. This makes the tool flexible but also deeply informative.
It doesn’t rely on complex or hidden math. It uses basic Z-score formulas, applies them to well-known indicators, and shows you the result. What makes it unique is the way it brings those signals together—statistically, visually, and interactively—so you can see what’s happening in the moment with full transparency. It’s not trying to be flashy or predictive. It’s just showing you when things have gone too far, too fast.
Inputs and Parameters
This indicator includes a wide range of configurable inputs, allowing users to customize which components are included in the Z-score average, how each indicator is calculated, and how results are displayed visually. Below is a detailed explanation of each input:
General Settings
Z-Score Lookback (default: 100): Number of bars used to calculate the mean and standard deviation for Z-score normalization. Larger values smooth the Z-scores; smaller values make them more reactive.
Bar Color Mode (default: None): Determines how bars are visually colored. Options include: None: No candle coloring applied. - Heat: Smooth gradient based on the Z-score value. - Latest Signal: Applies a solid color based on the most recent buy or sell signal
Boolean - General
Plot Universal Valuation Line (default: true): If enabled, plots the average Z-score (zAvg) line in the separate pane.
Show Signals (default: true): Displays labels ("𝓤𝓹" for buy, "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" for sell) when zAvg crosses above or below user-defined thresholds.
Show Z-Score Table (default: true): Displays a live table listing each enabled indicator's Z-score and the current average.
Select Indicators
These toggles enable or disable each indicator from contributing to the Z-score average:
Use VWAP Z-Score (default: true)
Use Sortino Z-Score (default: true)
Use ROC Z-Score (default: true)
Use Price Z-Score (default: true)
Use MACD Histogram Z-Score (default: false)

Use Stochastic K Z-Score (default: false)
Use Volume Z-Score (default: false)
Use ATR Z-Score (default: false)
Use RSI Z-Score (default: false)
Use Omega Z-Score (default: true)
Use Sharpe Z-Score (default: true)
Only enabled indicators are included in the average. This modular design allows traders to tailor the signal mix to their preferences.
Indicator Lengths
These inputs control how each individual indicator is calculated:
MACD Fast Length (default: 12)
MACD Slow Length (default: 26)
MACD Signal Length (default: 9)
Bollinger Basis Length (default: 20): Used to compute the Bollinger %B.
Bollinger Deviation Multiplier (default: 2.0): Standard deviation multiplier for the Bollinger Band calculation.
Stochastic Length (default: 14)
ATR Length (default: 14)
RSI Length (default: 14)
ROC Length (default: 10)
Zones
These thresholds define key signal levels for the Z-score average:
Neutral Line Level (default: 0): Baseline for the average Z-score.
Bullish Zone Level (default: -1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bullish conditions.
Bearish Zone Level (default: 1): Optional intermediate zone suggesting early bearish conditions.
Z = +2 Line Level (default: 2): Primary threshold for bearish signals.
Z = +3 Line Level (default: 3): Extreme bearish warning level.
Z = -2 Line Level (default: -2): Primary threshold for bullish signals.
Z = -3 Line Level (default: -3): Extreme bullish warning level.
These zone levels are used to generate signals, fill background shading, and draw horizontal lines for visual reference.
Why These Indicators Were Merged
Each indicator in this script was chosen for a specific reason. They all measure something different but complementary.
The VWAP Z-score helps you see when price has moved far from the volume-weighted average, often used by institutions.
Sortino Ratio Z-score focuses only on downside risk, which is often more relevant to traders than overall volatility.
ROC Z-score shows how fast price is changing—strong momentum may burn out quickly.
Price Z-score is the raw measure of how far current price has moved from its mean.
RSI Z-score shows whether momentum itself is stretched.
MACD Histogram Z-score captures shifts in trend strength and acceleration.
%B (Bollinger) Z-score indicates how close price is to the upper or lower volatility envelope.
Stochastic K Z-score gives a sense of how high or low price is relative to its recent range.
Volume Z-score shows when trading activity is unusually high or low.
ATR Z-score gives a read on volatility, showing if price movement is expanding or contracting.
Sharpe Z-score measures reward-to-risk performance, useful for evaluating trend quality.
Omega Z-score looks at the ratio of good returns to bad ones, offering a more nuanced view of efficiency.
By normalizing each of these using Z-scores and averaging only the ones you turn on, the script creates a flexible, balanced view of the market’s statistical stretch.
Calculations
The core formula is the standard Z-score:
Z = (current value - average) / standard deviation
Every indicator uses this formula after it’s calculated using your chosen settings. For example, RSI is first calculated as usual, then its Z-score is calculated over your selected lookback period. The script does this for every indicator you enable. Then it averages those Z-scores together to create a single value: zAvg. That value is plotted and used to generate visual cues, signals, table values, background color changes, and candle coloring.
Sequence
Each selected indicator is calculated using your custom input lengths.
The Z-score of each indicator is computed using the shared lookback period.
All active Z-scores are added up and averaged.
The resulting zAvg value is plotted as a line.
Signal conditions check if zAvg crosses user-defined thresholds (default: ±2).
If enabled, the script plots buy/sell signal labels at those crossover points.
The candle color is updated using your selected mode (heatmap or signal-based).
If extreme Z-scores are reached, background highlighting is applied.
A live table updates with each individual Z-score so you know what’s driving the signal.
Features
This script isn’t just about stats—it’s about making them usable in real time. Every feature has a clear reason to exist, and they’re all there to give you a better read on market conditions.
1. Universal Z-Score Line
This is your primary reference. It reflects the average Z-score across all selected indicators. The line updates live and is color-coded to show how far it is from neutral. The further it gets from 0, the brighter the color becomes—cyan for deeply oversold conditions, magenta for overbought. This gives you instant feedback on how statistically “hot” or “cold” the market is, without needing to read any numbers.
2. Signal Labels (“𝓤𝓹” and “𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷”)
When the average Z-score drops below your lower bound, you’ll see a "𝓤𝓹" label below the bar, suggesting potential bullish reversal conditions. When it rises above the upper bound, a "𝓓𝓸𝔀𝓷" label is shown above the bar—indicating possible bearish exhaustion. These labels are visually clear and minimal so they don’t clutter your chart. They're based on clear crossover logic and do not repaint.
3. Real-Time Z-Score Table
The table shows each indicator's individual Z-score and the final average. It updates every bar, giving you a transparent breakdown of what’s happening under the hood. If the market is showing an extreme average score, this table helps you pinpoint which indicators are contributing the most—so you’re not just guessing where the pressure is coming from.
4. Bar Coloring Modes
You can choose from three modes:
None: Keeps your candles clean and untouched.
Heat: Applies a smooth gradient color based on Z-score intensity. As conditions become more extreme, candle color transitions from neutral to either cyan (bullish pressure) or magenta (bearish pressure).
Latest Signal: Applies hard coloring based on the most recent signal—greenish for a buy, purple for a sell. This mode is great for tracking market state at a glance without relying on a gradient.
Every part of the candle is colored—body, wick, and border—for full visibility.
5. Background Highlighting
When zAvg enters an extreme zone (typically above +2 or below -2), the background shifts color to reflect the market’s intensity. These changes aren’t overwhelming—they’re light fills that act as ambient warnings, helping you stay aware of when price might be reaching a tipping point.
6. Customizable Zone Lines and Fills
You can define what counts as neutral, overbought, and oversold using manual inputs. Horizontal lines show your thresholds, and shaded regions highlight the most extreme zones (+2 to +3 and -2 to -3). These lines give you visual structure to understand where price currently stands in relation to your personal reversal model.
7. Modular Indicator Control
You don’t have to use all the indicators. You can enable or disable any of the 12 with a simple checkbox. This means you can build your own “blend” of market context—maybe you only care about RSI, price, and volume. Or maybe you want everything on. The script adapts accordingly, only averaging what you select.
8. Fully Customizable Sensitivity and Lengths
You can adjust the Z-score lookback length globally (default 100), and tweak individual indicator lengths separately. This lets you tune the indicator’s responsiveness to suit your trading style—slower for longer swings, faster for scalping.
9. Clean Integration with Any Chart Layout
All visual elements are designed to be informative without taking over your chart. The coloring is soft but clear, the labels are readable without being huge, and you can turn off any feature you don’t need. The indicator can work as a full dashboard or as a simple line with a couple of alerts—it’s up to you.
10. Precise, Real-Time Signal Logic
The crossover logic for signals is exact and only fires when the Z-score moves across your defined boundary. No estimation, no delay. Everything is calculated based on current and previous bar data, and nothing repaints or back-adjusts.
Conclusion
The Universal Z-Score Valuation indicator is a tool for traders who want a clear, unbiased way to detect overextension. Instead of relying on a single signal, you get a composite of several market perspectives—momentum, volatility, volume, and more—all standardized into a single view. The script gives you the freedom to control the logic, the visuals, and the components. Whether you use it as a confirmation tool or a primary signal source, it’s designed to give you clarity when markets become chaotic.

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.

Real Cumulative Delta VolumeReal Cumulative Delta Volume (CDV) - Enhanced Volume Flow Analysis
What This Indicator Does
This indicator calculates cumulative delta volume using an enhanced approximation methodology that analyzes buying and selling pressure within each candlestick. It provides traders with insights into volume flow dynamics by tracking the cumulative difference between estimated buy and sell volumes over time.
Technical Methodology & Calculation Details
Volume Distribution Algorithm: The indicator uses a price-weighted distribution method to estimate buy and sell volumes within each bar:
Delta multiplier = (close - low) / (high - low)
Buy volume = total volume × delta multiplier
Sell volume = total volume × (1 - delta multiplier)
Net delta = buy volume - sell volume
Cumulative Delta Tracking: Unlike basic volume indicators, this approach maintains a running cumulative total of net delta values:
CDV Open = Previous CDV Close
CDV Close = Previous CDV Close + Net Delta
CDV High/Low = Previous CDV Close + estimated intrabar extremes
Enhanced Features Beyond Standard CDV:
Divergence Detection: Automatically identifies when price direction conflicts with volume flow direction
Body Size Analysis: Compares current vs previous CDV candle body sizes to detect momentum changes
Conditional Color Coding: Special visual alerts when specific price/volume relationships occur
Signal Generation: Buy/sell signals based on divergence resolution patterns
How This Differs from Basic Cumulative Delta
Standard Limitations Addressed:
Most cumulative delta indicators on TradingView use simple uptick/downtick classification. This indicator enhances the approach by:
Price-Weighted Distribution: Instead of assuming 50/50 volume splits, uses the bar's price action (close relative to high/low) to estimate volume distribution
OHLC Representation: Displays CDV as candlesticks rather than just a line, showing intrabar volume dynamics
Integrated Divergence Detection: Built-in algorithms identify price/volume conflicts automatically
Advanced Signal Logic: Multi-condition signal generation beyond simple crossovers
Visual Enhancement Features:
Dual display modes (candlestick or line)
Special color coding for divergence conditions
Moving average overlays for trend confirmation
Optional buy/sell signal markers
Signal Generation Logic
Buy Signals Generated When:
Previous bar showed bearish divergence (price down, CDV up)
Current CDV candle shows specific color condition
Current CDV body is contained within previous divergence body
Price closes above previous high
Sell Signals Generated When:
Previous bar showed bullish divergence (price up, CDV down)
Current CDV candle shows specific color condition
Current CDV body is contained within previous divergence body
Price closes below previous low
Trading Applications
Volume Flow Analysis:
Identify periods of hidden accumulation or distribution
Spot when large players are buying/selling against the price trend
Confirm trend strength through volume alignment
Divergence Trading:
Early warning system for potential reversals
Identify when price movements lack volume support
Time entries based on divergence resolution
Trend Confirmation:
Use CDV direction to confirm price trend validity
Moving averages on CDV provide additional trend context
Volume momentum changes often precede price momentum shifts
Display Options & Settings
Visual Modes:
Candlestick: Full OHLC representation of cumulative delta
Line: Simplified cumulative line display
Moving Averages:
Optional SMA overlays (default: 50, 200 periods)
Optional EMA overlays (default: 50, 200 periods)
Customizable periods and colors
Signal Controls:

VWAP/VOL [Extension] | FractalystWhat's the indicator's purpose and functionality?
The VWAP/VOL Extension is designed specifically as a bias identification system for the Quantify Trading Model.
This extension uses volume-weighted average price analysis combined with institutional volume classification to automatically detect market bias without requiring optimization periods that lead to overfitting.
The system provides real-time bias signals (bullish/bearish/neutral) that integrate directly with Quantify's machine learning algorithms, enabling institutional-level backtesting and automated entry/exit identification based on genuine market structure rather than curve-fitted parameters.
How does this extension work with the Quantify Trading Model?
The VWAP/VOL Extension serves as the bias detection engine for Quantify's automated trading system.
Instead of manually selecting bias direction, this extension automatically identifies market bias using:
- Volume-weighted VWAP analysis with three-state detection (bullish/bearish/neutral)
- Institutional volume classification using relative volume thresholds without optimization
- Non-repainting architecture ensuring consistent bias signals for Quantify's machine learning
The extension outputs bias signals that Quantify uses as input through the `input.source()` function, allowing the Trading Model to focus on optimal entry/exit timing while the extension handles bias identification.
Why doesn't this use optimization periods like other indicators?
The VWAP/VOL Extension deliberately avoids optimization periods to prevent overfitting bias that destroys out-of-sample performance. The system uses:
- Fixed mathematical thresholds based on market structure principles rather than optimized parameters
- Relative volume analysis using standard 2.0x/0.5x ratios that work across all market conditions
- VWAP distance calculations based on percentage thresholds without curve-fitting
- Gap enforcement using fixed 5-bar minimums for disciplined bias detection
This approach ensures the bias signals remain robust across different market regimes without the performance degradation typical of over-optimized systems.
Can this extension be used independently for discretionary trading?
No, the VWAP/VOL Extension is specifically engineered to work as a component within the Quantify ecosystem. The extension is designed to:
- Provide bias input for Quantify's machine learning algorithms
- Enable automated backtesting through systematic bias identification
- Support institutional-level analysis when combined with Quantify's ML entry model
Using this extension independently would miss the primary value proposition of systematic entry/exit optimization that Quantify provides.
The extension handles bias detection so Quantify can focus on probability-based trade timing and risk management.
How does this enable institutional-level backtesting?
The extension transforms discretionary bias identification into systematic institutional analysis by:
- Eliminating subjective bias selection through automated VWAP/volume analysis
- Providing consistent historical signals with non-repainting architecture for accurate backtesting
- Integrating with Quantify's algorithms to identify optimal entry patterns based on objective bias states
- Enabling performance analysis across multiple market regimes without optimization bias
This combination allows Quantify to run institutional-grade backtests with consistent bias identification, generating reliable performance statistics and risk metrics that reflect genuine market edge rather than curve-fitted results.
How do I integrate this with the Quantify Trading Model?
Integration enables institutional-grade systematic trading through advanced machine learning and statistical validation:
- Add both VWAP/VOL Extension and Quantify Trading Model to your chart
- Select VWAP/VOL Extension as the bias source using input.source()
- Quantify automatically uses the extension's bias signals for entry/exit analysis
- The built-in machine learning algorithms score optimal entry and exit levels based on trend intensity, volume conviction, and market structure patterns identified by the extension
The extension handles all bias detection complexity while Quantify focuses on optimal trade timing, position sizing, and risk management along with PineConnector automation
What markets and assets does the VWAP/VOL Extension work best on?
The VWAP/VOL Extension performs optimally on markets with consistent, high-volume participation since the system relies on institutional volume analysis for bias detection. Futures markets provide the most reliable performance due to their centralized volume data and continuous institutional participation.
Recommended Futures Markets:
- ES (S&P 500 E-mini) - Over 2 million contracts daily volume, excellent liquidity depth
- NQ (NASDAQ-100 E-mini) - Around 600,000 contracts daily, strong tech sector representation
- YM (Dow Jones E-mini) - Consistent institutional flow and volume patterns
- RTY (Russell 2000 E-mini) - Small-cap exposure with reliable volume data
- GC (Gold Futures) - High volume commodity with institutional participation
- CL (Crude Oil Futures) - Energy sector representation with strong volume consistency
Why Futures Markets Excel:
- Futures markets provide centralized volume reporting, ensuring the extension's volume classification system receives accurate institutional participation data. The standardized contract specifications and continuous trading hours create consistent volume patterns that the extension's algorithms can analyze effectively.
Acceptable Timeframes and Portfolio Integration:
- Any timeframe that can be evaluated within Quantify Trading Model's backtesting engine is acceptable for live trading implementation.
The extension is specifically designed to integrate with Quantify's portfolio management system, allowing multiple strategies across different timeframes and assets to operate simultaneously while maintaining consistent bias identification methodology across the entire automated trading portfolio.

Volume Engulfing DetectorThis indicator is built to detect powerful shifts in market participation by analyzing volume surges during directional candles — not traditional "engulfing" patterns based on candle body structure, but volume-driven dominance by buyers or sellers.
Instead of relying on the classic visual engulfing pattern, it flags situations where a bullish or bearish candle prints with significantly higher volume than its predecessor, and where that volume also surpasses key benchmarks from previous opposing moves.
This approach is designed to capture institutional activity, smart money footprints, or hidden accumulation/distribution, which often manifest as volume spikes even in the absence of textbook candlestick formations.
🚦 Key Features
✅ 1. Volume-Based Engulfing Detection
The script identifies candles where:
A bullish candle's volume exceeds the previous candle’s total volume and the previous candle was bearish (and vice versa for bearish engulfing).
Additionally, the bullish engulfing volume must also be greater than the volume of the last bearish engulfing (and vice versa).
This helps filter out false engulfing signals and only highlights the ones with significant participation or conviction.
🔷 Plotted with: Vol↑Eng (Green label below candle)
🔻 Plotted with: Vol↓Eng (Red label above candle)
✅ 2. High-Volume Rejection Markers (Non-Engulfing)
Sometimes a candle doesn’t engulf the previous one, but the volume is so dominant that it may still indicate a powerful reversal or failed breakout. This indicator flags those too:
If a bullish candle has volume higher than any bearish engulfing volume seen today, it’s marked as a potential buy-side absorption.
If a bearish candle has volume higher than any bullish engulfing volume today, it may be a sign of sell-side rejection.
🟢 Plotted with: Vol↑Big (Lime triangle up)
🔴 Plotted with: Vol↓Big (Maroon triangle down)
⏰ Daily Reset & Filtering
All volume comparisons are done within the current trading day, so each day's context is treated independently.
The first candle of the day is ignored, preventing skewed signals due to overnight gaps or opening volatility.
🔔 Alerts Included
You can set alerts on:
Bullish or bearish volume-engulfing candles.
High-volume rejection candles.
This ensures you’re notified in real time when the market shows signs of strong accumulation or distribution, even if you're not actively monitoring the chart.
💡 Use Cases
Day Traders: Identify potential intraday reversals or trend initiations with volume confirmation.
Swing Traders: Use engulfing and high-volume patterns to time entries after pullbacks or breakouts.
Volume Analysts: Study how price responds when volume exceeds critical historical thresholds.
Tape Readers: Get a visual clue of where smart money might be stepping in based on volume surges.
📌 Final Thoughts
This indicator filters out noise and focuses on volume-dominant price actions, giving you a cleaner and more actionable view of the market. Use it to complement your existing strategy, particularly when looking for high-conviction turning points on the chart.
Whether you're trading equities, indices, or futures — this tool brings volume context to price action in a simple and visual way.
Volume PercentileThis Pine Script indicator highlights bars where the current volume exceeds a configurable percentile threshold (e.g., 80th percentile) based on a rolling window of historical volume data.

OBV with MA & Bollinger Bands by Marius1032OBV with MA & Bollinger Bands by Marius1032
This script adds customizable moving averages and Bollinger Bands to the classic OBV (On Balance Volume) indicator. It helps identify volume-driven momentum and trend strength.
Features:
OBV-based trend tracking
Optional smoothing: SMA, EMA, RMA, WMA, VWMA
Optional Bollinger Bands with SMA
Potential Combinations and Trading Strategies:
Breakouts: Look for price breakouts from the Bollinger Bands, and confirm with a rising OBV for an uptrend or falling OBV for a downtrend.
Trend Reversals: When the price touches a Bollinger Band, examine the OBV for divergence. A bullish divergence (price lower low, OBV higher low) near the lower band could signal a reversal.
Volume Confirmation: Use OBV to confirm the strength of the trend indicated by Bollinger Bands. For example, if the BBs indicate an uptrend and OBV is also rising, it reinforces the bullish signal.
1. On-Balance Volume (OBV):
Purpose: OBV is a momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict price movements.
Calculation: Volume is added on up days and subtracted on down days.
Interpretation: Rising OBV suggests potential upward price movement. Falling OBV suggests potential lower prices.
Divergence: Divergence between OBV and price can signal potential trend reversals.
2. Moving Average (MA):
Purpose: Moving Averages smooth price fluctuations and help identify trends.
Combination with OBV: Pairing OBV with MAs helps confirm trends and identify potential reversals. A crossover of the OBV line and its MA can signal a trend reversal or continuation.
3. Bollinger Bands (BB):
Purpose: BBs measure market volatility and help identify potential breakouts and trend reversals.
Structure: They consist of a moving average (typically 20-period) and two standard deviation bands.
Combination with OBV: Combining BBs with OBV allows for a multifaceted approach to market analysis. For example, a stock hitting the lower BB with a rising OBV could indicate accumulation and a potential upward reversal.
