Quick Guide to Using the Activity and Volume Orderflow Profile
🛠 Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to your favorites. Customize settings like profile type, lookback period, and resolution to fit your trading style.
📊 Market Analysis: Use the profile to identify areas of high buying or selling pressure. In "Comparison" mode, look for significant volume differences; in "Net Order Flow" mode, focus on net volume changes. Additionally, you can use the activity heatmap to find key levels that can act as support and resistance as price is likely to react to the zones as indicated by the heatmap.
How it Works:
The indicator operates by first gathering data on high and low prices, as well as buy and sell volumes, over a user-defined lookback period. It then calculates the maximum and minimum prices during this period and divides this range into bins based on the chosen resolution. For each bin, it computes the total volume of buy and sell orders. In "Comparison" mode, it displays side-by-side boxes representing buy and sell volumes, while in "Net Order Flow" mode, it shows the net volume difference. The indicator visually presents these profiles on the chart with customizable colors, transparency levels, and the option to display a heatmap for enhanced volume activity insights.

Volumeanalysis
Wave Consolidation [LuxAlgo]The Wave Consolidation indicator uses market profiles to highlight consolidation zones based on upward and downward moves determined when a Higher-High or Lower-Low is created.
Users can control the amount of consolidation zones to display and the sensitivity of the swing point detection used to return those zones.
🔶 USAGE
These zones are intended as areas of interest to traders where price has seen historical interactions, which can be interpreted as support and resistance. By identifying these areas of interest before the price returns to them, traders are able to anticipate and prepare for various scenarios and respond dynamically to the behavior of the market, as seen below.
Rejection: A quick move away from the zone may indicate that the area is either overvalued or undervalued, leading to a fast movement in the opposite direction.
Breakthrough: Moving beyond a zone could indicate acceptance at that specific price, potentially signaling a shift in momentum or the start of a new trend. In a strong major trend, zones created from smaller trends could be used as price targets for taking profit and managing risk.
Consolidation: Holding these zones might suggest a market in balance at these levels, this could lead to opportunities for range-bound trading.
Below is an example of the Rejection and Consolidation scenarios described above.
Note: By analyzing the tests and retests of these zones, traders can also gain further insight into where participants are interacting in the market.
🔶 DETAILS
The full process for acquiring and managing these zones is described in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Creation
By only considering market movements creating a higher-high or lower-low, we can identify meaningful, directional, moves which can then be used to calculate zones.
Once a move is identified, the script calculates a volume profile spanning the length of the given move.
The width of the zones is determined starting from the POC of the profile and expanding outwards until the value of the profile's row falls below the profile's average.
Note: By increasing the "Multiplier" Input, Users can increase the threshold the script uses to determine zone width in multiples of Standard Deviations above the Average.
While this area is similar to a VP Value Area, it is not intended to replicate a value zone. The calculation is not concerned with capturing any % of the total profile's volume within the zone and only analyzes based on a fixed inclusion threshold.
🔹 Management
To keep clutter to a minimum, If a new zone overlaps a recently created zone, the zones are grouped as one. This is especially helpful in areas where prices are ranging, creating multiple zones in a very similar area.
Zones before management:
Zones after management:
🔹 Deletion
Just because a zone is crossed, does not make it immediately unimportant!
Once a Zone is mitigated (crossed in the opposite direction of its bias) it is reduced to a single dotted line representing the outer threshold for the zone. These lines are important to watch, as the price will often retest a break. For this reason, they will stay on the chart until the next swing point is detected when they will finally be deleted for good.
Below is an example of activity around a broken zone before it is deleted.
Below is the same example 2bBars later , once the new swing is confirmed, the dotted lines are deleted and new zones are created.
Notice how the newly formed resistance zone is in the same area where we noticed sellers previously.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Structure
Display Structure: Determines if swing structures are displayed.
Structure Length: Sets Length for structure identification.
🔹 Zones
Volume-Based Calculations: Opt to use a "Volume" based Profile Calculation instead of the default "Price Action" based Calculation.
Display Count: Sets the specific number of bullish and bearish zones to display on the chart.
Multiplier: Sets the multiplier to use for the value cut-off for determining zone boundaries.
🔹 Style
Display Average Lines: Toggles on/off the average (mid) lines for the zones.
Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge [By MUQWISHI]▋ INTRODUCTION :
The Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge is developed to provide traders with a detailed analysis of volume in bars using a low timeframe, such as a 1-second interval, to measure the dominance of buy and sell for each bar. By highlighting the balance between buying and selling activities, the Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge helps traders identify potential volume momentum of a bar; aimed at being a useful tool for day traders and scalpers.
_______________________
▋ OVERVIEW:
_______________________
▋ METHODOLOGY:
The concept is based on bars from a lower timeframe within the current chart timeframe bar, where volume is categorized into Up, Down, and Neutral Volume, with each one displayed as a portion of a column plot. Up Volume is recorded when the price experiences a positive change, Down Volume occurs when the price experiences a negative change, and Neutral Volume is observed when the price shows no significant change.
_______________________
▋ INDICATOR SETTINGS:
(1) Fetch data from the selected lower timeframe. Note: If the selected timeframe is invalid (higher than chart), the indicator will automatically switch to 1 second.
(2) Price Source.
(3) Treating Neutral Data (Price Source) as
Neutral: In a lower timeframe, when the bar has no change in its price, the volume is counted as Neutral Volume.
Previous Move: In a lower timeframe, when the bar has no change in its price, the volume is counted as the previous change; “Up Volume” if the previous change was positive, and “Down Volume” if the previous change was negative.
Opposite Previous Move: In a lower timeframe, when the bar has no change in its price, the volume is counted as the opposite previous change; “Up Volume” if the previous change was negative, and “Down Volume” if the previous change was positive.
(4) Average Volume Length, it's used for lighting/darkening columns in a plot.
(5) Enable Alert.
(7) Total bought (%) Level.
(8) Total Sold (%) Level.
_____________________
▋ COMMENT:
The Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge can be taken as confirmation for predicting the next move, but it should not be considered a major factor in making a trading decision.
Volume Distribution (Heat Map)This Pine Script indicator, "Volume Distribution (Heat Map)" is designed to visualize the distribution of volume across different price levels over a specified lookback period. Here's a detailed breakdown of its functionality and features:

Heatmap Lines:
Solid lines colored based on the volume in each bin, using a gradient from no color to the main color based on amount of volume.
Highest Volume Line:
A dashed red line indicating the bin with the highest volume.
Labels:
Labels for the highest and lowest prices and the volume at the highest volume bin.
Plots
Highest Price Plot: Plots the highest price within the lookback period if the current bar is within the allowed range.
Lowest Price Plot: Plots the lowest price within the lookback period if the current bar is within the allowed range.
Summary
This indicator provides a visual representation of where trading volume is concentrated across different price levels, forming a heatmap. The highest volume level is highlighted with a dashed red line and a label indicating the volume at that level. This can help traders identify significant price levels where trading activity is clustered.
The "Volume Distribution (Heat Map)" indicator is a valuable tool for traders looking to enhance their technical analysis by incorporating volume data into their price charts. It provides a clear and visual representation of where market participants are most active, aiding in better-informed trading decisions.
Volume ScoreVolume Score Indicator (VSCR)
The Volume Score Indicator (VSCR) is a powerful tool designed to enhance your trading analysis by evaluating volume activity relative to historical levels. This indicator provides valuable insights into volume trends, highlighting significant volume spikes and their implications for price movements.
Key Features:
1. Volume Analysis:
a.) Volume (RVol): Calculates the relative volume based on the 50-day simple
moving average.
b.) High Volume Conditions: Identifies conditions where volume is significantly higher
than historical levels, including:
b1.) Highest Volume in 1 Year (HV1Y): Volume exceeds the highest volume of
the year.
b2.) Highest Volume in 3 Months (HVQ): Volume exceeds the highest volume of
the past 3 months.
c.) Pocket Pivot Volume (PPV):
c1.) High Relative Volume: Volume is at least twice the 50-day moving average
volume.
c2.) Pocket Pivot Volume: Latest bar volume is higher than the highest down
volume bar of the last 10 days.
2.Volume Score Calculation:
a.) Computes a cumulative volume score (VSCR) based on the frequency and magnitude
of identified high-volume conditions over a user-defined look-back period (default:
90 days).
b.) Adds points to the volume score based on relative volume (RVol). For example, if
the current day's relative volume is 500% of the 50-day average volume, 5 points
will be added to the volume score.
Formula: Volume Score = Volume Score + (RVol / 100)
3. Customizable Plotting:

b.) Customizable table layout (horizontal or vertical) and positioning (top, middle,
bottom; left, center, right).
c.) Dynamic Background Coloring: The table cells are color-coded to highlight
significant volume levels and scores:
c1.) Blue: Indicates a very high volume score or count, signaling exceptionally
strong volume activity (e.g., count >= 15, score >= 50).
c2.) Green: Represents a high but not extreme volume level, suggesting notable
volume activity (e.g., 10 <= count < 15, 40 <= score < 50).
c3.) Orange: Marks moderate volume activity, which is still above average but
less pronounced (e.g., 7 <= count < 10, 25 <= score < 40).
c4.) Red: Signifies relatively low volume activity, potentially indicating less
significant volume changes (e.g., count < 7, score < 25).
5.How to Use:
a.) Input Parameters:
a1.) Plot HV: Toggle to plot high volume i.e. HV1Y and HVQ conditions on the
chart. When enabled green plot will appear above the price bars on the
chart.
a2.) Plot PPV: Toggle to plot pocket pivot volume conditions on the chart. When
enabled orange plot will appear above the price bars on the chart.
a3.) Look Back Period: Define the period for looking back to calculate volume
conditions and scores (default: 90 days).
b.) Table Display:
b1.) Panel Options: Customize the table's position, layout, text size, and colors
to suit your preferences.

Volume Spread Analysis [TANHEF]Volume Spread Analysis: Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and/or spread bars that consist of color coded levels. If both of these are displayed, the number of spread bars can be limited for visual appeal and understanding, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. While automatic calculation of the number of visual bars for auto scaling is possible, it is avoided to prevent the indicator from reloading whenever the number of visual price bars on the chart is adjusted, ensuring uninterrupted analysis. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

Multi-Chart Widget [LuxAlgo]The Multi-Chart Widget tool is a comprehensive solution crafted for traders and investors looking to analyze multiple financial instruments simultaneously. With the capability to showcase up to three additional charts, users can customize each chart by selecting different financial instruments, and timeframes.
Users can add various widely used technical indicators to the charts such as the relative strength index, Supertrend, moving averages, Bollinger Bands...etc.
🔶 USAGE
The tool offers traders and investors a comprehensive view of multiple charts simultaneously. By displaying up to three additional charts alongside the primary chart, users can analyze assets across different timeframes, compare their performance, and make informed decisions.
Users have the flexibility to choose from various customizable chart types, including the recently added "Volume Candles" option.
This tool allows adding to the chart some of the most widely used technical indicators, such as the Supertrend, Bollinger Bands, and various moving averages.
In addition to the charting capabilities, the tool also features a dynamic statistic panel that provides essential metrics and key insights into the selected assets. Users can track performance indicators such as relative strength, trend, and volatility, enabling them to identify trends, patterns, and trading opportunities efficiently.
🔶 DETAILS
A brief overview of the indicators featured in the statistic panel is given in the sub-section below:
🔹Dual Supertrend
The Dual Supertrend is a modified version of the Supertrend indicator, which is based on the concept of trend following. It generates buy or sell signals by analyzing the asset's price movement. The Dual Supertrend incorporates two Supertrend indicators with different parameters to provide potentially more accurate signals. It helps traders identify trend reversals and establish trend direction in a more responsive manner compared to a single Supertrend.
🔹Relative Strength Index
The Relative Strength Index is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. RSI oscillates between 0 and 100 and is typically used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in a market. Traditionally, RSI values above 70 are considered overbought, suggesting that the asset may be due for a reversal or correction, while RSI values below 30 are considered oversold, indicating potential buying opportunities.
🔹Volatility
Volatility in trading refers to the degree of variation or fluctuation in the price of a financial instrument, such as a stock, currency pair, or commodity, over a certain period of time. It is a measure of the speed and magnitude of price changes and reflects the level of uncertainty or risk in the market. High volatility implies that prices are experiencing rapid and significant movements, while low volatility suggests that prices are relatively stable and are not changing much. Traders often use volatility as an indicator to assess the potential risk and return of an investment and to make informed decisions about when to enter or exit trades.
🔹R-Squared (R²)
R-squared, also known as the coefficient of determination, is a statistical measure that indicates the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s). In other words, it quantifies the goodness of fit of a regression model to the observed data. R-squared values range from %0 to %100, with higher values indicating a better fit of the model to the data. An R-squared of 100% means that all movements of a security are completely explained by movements in the index, while an R-squared value of %0 indicates that the model does not explain any of the variability in the dependent variable.
In simpler terms, in investing, a high R-squared, from 85% to 100%, indicates that the stock’s or fund’s performance moves relatively in line with the index. Conversely, a low R-squared (around 70% or less) indicates that the fund's performance tends to deviate significantly from the movements of the index.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹Mini Chart(s) Generic Settings
Mini Charts Separator: This option toggles the visibility of the separator lines.
Number Of Bars: Specifies the number of bars to be displayed for each mini chart.
Horizontal Offset: Determines the distance at which the mini charts will be displayed from the primary chart.
🔹Mini Chart Settings: Top - Middle - Bottom
Mini Chart Top/Middle/Bottom: Toggle the visibility of the selected mini chart.
Symbol: Choose the financial instrument to be displayed in the mini chart. If left as an empty string, it will default to the current chart instrument.
Timeframe: This option determines the timeframe used for calculating the mini charts. If a timeframe lower than the chart's timeframe is selected, the calculations will be based on the chart's timeframe.
Chart Type: Selection from various chart types for the mini charts, including candles, volume candles, line, area, columns, high-low, and Heikin Ashi.
Chart Size: Determines the size of the mini chart.
Technical Indicator: Selection from various technical indicators to be displayed on top of the mini charts.
Note : Chart sizing is relative to other mini charts. For example, If all the mini charts are sized to x5 relative to each other, the result will be the same as if they were all sized as x1. This is because the relative proportions between the mini charts remain consistent regardless of their absolute sizes. Therefore, their positions and sizes relative to each other remain unchanged, resulting in the same visual representation despite the differences in absolute scale.
🔹Supertrend Settings
ATR Length: is the lookback length for the ATR calculation.
Factor: is what the ATR is multiplied by to offset the bands from price.
Color: color customization option.
🔹Moving Average Settings

🔶 LIMITATIONS
The tool allows users to display mini charts featuring various types of instruments alongside the primary chart instrument. However, there's a limitation: the selected primary chart instrument must have an ACTIVE market status. Alternatively, if the primary chart instrument is not active, the mini chart instruments must belong to the same exchange and have the same type as the primary chart instrument.
OrderFlow Absorption IndicatorWhat it Does
The OrderFlow Absorption Indicator marks areas where the price absorbs a large volume of aggressive market trades. This indicates areas where price may bounce back due to large limit (resting) orders absorbing significant aggressor volume (market orders). Absorption can also be seen as "preventing" or "stopping" the other side from breaking through a price level (e.g. bids stopping an influx of sell market orders). Absorption may signal a change in sentiment, potentially leading to a pullback or reversal.
An Example of Absorption
Of course, it is not always the case that such bullish absorption will initiate a trend as the example above. The OrderFlow Absorption Indicator merely serves as a tool for spotting possible absorption points in the market which you can incorporate into your trading arsenal.
How it Works
The indicator actively monitors price changes and records volume accumulated at a price level. If the price bounces back to at least where it was before the current price move, the indicator records this as absorption, provided it meets the Volume Requirement and optional Time Requirement.
How to Use it
1. Set Parameters
Choose your desired tick size and volume filter value. If unsure, refer to the table on the top right of the chart for recommended values. An automatic volume limit filter mode is also available.
Automatic Limit Mode : Enable this mode to have the indicator automatically select a volume filter value. It calculates the standard deviation of the last n minutes of volume and multiplies it by a volume multiplier. You can adjust these parameters.
Higher Volume Filter : Setting a higher volume filter value results in fewer, but higher quality detections, reducing noise.
2. Enabling the Time Limit
Enabling the time limit further improves detection quality by filtering out price levels that can defend against quick, sudden aggressive orders, acting as confirmation and indicating strong sentiment and resilient liquidity.
3. Enabling Historical Data Absorption
The indicator can also detect absorption in historical data, though less accurately than in real-time due to OHLCV aggregation.
You can select the granularity of historical data.
Lower granularity (e.g., 1 second) : Provides more accurate detections but may slow down the indicator.
Higher granularity : Improves speed but reduces detection accuracy.
Other Features
Hovering : When hovering over an absorption point, the interface reveals the price where the absorption occurred, along with the volume absorbed by the bids and asks, as well as the volume filter value used.
Delta Mode : In Delta mode, the system calculates the difference between the volume absorbed by bids and asks, revealing points only when the absolute value of this difference exceeds the volume filter value. Especially useful for larger tick sizes.
Troubleshooting
If the indicator doesn't mark anything, it means the traded volume hasn't exceeded the set volume filter value within the specified price intervals(tick size) and time limit. Adjust these settings as necessary.
Volume Indıcator [JP & Dia]The volume indicator refers to the total amount of a financial instrument that has been traded within a specific time frame. This can include shares, contracts, or lots. Market exchanges track and provide this data. The volume indicator is one of the oldest and most widely used indicators in trading. It is typically represented by colored columns, with green indicating up volume and red indicating down volume, along with a moving average. Unlike other indicators, the volume indicator is not based on price. A high volume suggests a strong interest in a particular instrument at its current price, while a low volume suggests the opposite.
When there is a sudden increase in trading volume, it indicates a higher likelihood of the price changing. This often occurs during news events. Strong trending movements are often accompanied by increased trading volume, which can be seen as a measure of strength. Traders would typically expect to see high buying volume at a support level and high selling volume at a resistance level. There are various ways to incorporate volume into a trading strategy, and many traders combine it with other analysis techniques.
USECASE :
Timeframe Selection: Choose the timeframe for which you want to analyze the volume.
Volume Display Options: Toggle the display of today’s, yesterday’s, and the day before yesterday’s volume data.
Text Color: Select the color for the text in the volume table.
Volume Data Retrieval: The script fetches volume data for the selected timeframe and the daily volume for the current and previous two days.
Percentage Change Calculation: Calculates the percentage change in volume between days to identify significant increases or decreases.
Volume Table: A table is created to display the volume data and percentage changes, updating in real-time with each new bar.
Discovery IndexThe Discovery Index is an original technical indicator which attempts to display directional market pressure and momentum based on accumulated candle-over-candle measurements.
Discovery , in this context, is the act of finding (discovering) New Highs and Lows.
> What is 'Discovery'
Not to be confused with "Price Discovery", the term for setting the spot price of an asset.
The term 'Discovery' in Discovery Index is used based on the literal definition of 'Discovery', such as, the action of finding what was previously unknown.
Given this definition,
Discovery is the difference between highs or lows only when the current high is higher than the previous high or the current low is lower than the previous low.
Below is a visual example of exactly where Discovery is seen from each candle.
Since discovery is only based on points of the candle, and not specifically the direction of the candle; it is possible for discovery to occur in both directions from the same candle.
It is also possible for no discovery to occur from a candle.
> Calculation
The Discovery Index is the Net Total of discovery data over a specified length of bars.
Discovery Index = Sum of Upwards Discovery + Sum of Downwards Discovery
Note: Upwards Discovery is always Positive, and Downwards Discovery is always Negative. By adding both together, their Net Total is produced. This value is the "Discovery Index".
Wick Calculation Example
> Volume Discovery
Using Volume for the Discovery Index Calculation allows for a different dimension to be added to the data for new analysis opportunities.
While volume data is only a single value, by accumulating this data over time, we are able to fabricate a candle body from the data by accounting for the direction of the chart candles.
This allows for the Calculation of the Discovery Index based on volume data.
Volume Example
> Display
The display uses a "Candlestick histogram" display. The bodies and wicks from the display represent the discovery data from the respective points in each candle. (Wick Discovery & Candle Body Discovery).
This style of histogram allows for the display of both data sources, preserving the accuracy and distinction between each type, while also providing a clean display.
> Considerations
Discovery index is not an Oscillator, since there are no upper or lower boundaries to its rotations.
There are not (at this time) any "Over-bought" or "Over-sold" Areas, this is partially due to the previous consideration since any levels for these could potentially change from chart to chart. Additionally, it would generally be better to read the data based on the context of the current market.
Non-directional movements effect the Discovery Index as well. Since Discovery does not occur from every bar, the Index reflects hesitations as well as movements in market direction.
With the option to input a symbol, the Discovery Index Indicator is not constrained to one chart ticker for its calculation and could help to see shifts between different symbols, making it easier to compare different assets.
With the separation of wicks and candle body data, a stronger move may be observed by its full-bodied movements, while a potentially more speculative move may be seen from large wick movements. Since wicks are often interpreted as either, Rejection for reversal OR as Testing for continuation, the interpretation for Wick Discovery generally varies based on context.
Discovery Index ⇾ Divergences! Due to its calculation, price (and/or volume) data is displayed in such a way that makes it useful as a tool for identifying divergence opportunities.
Remember, this indicator is lookback based. An immediate significant change from the data source (if not offset by a similar opposite change) will be represented for multiple bars after its occurrence. Due to this, data is likely to be skewed or biased from these occurrences for a period of time after.
Throughout development, "Discovery" has been shortened to just "Disco", therefore, this indicator is also an attempt to bring Disco Back.

Liquidity Dependent Price Stability AlgorithmThe Liquidity Dependent Price Stability (LDPS) indicator is designed to measure liquidity levels on an equity and, from those measurements, provide Bullish or Bearish outlooks for future price action. These outlooks are given via reporting the equity's Liquidity Condition and Liquidity Flow.
Interpretation
Liquidity Condition (LC) and Liquidity Flow (LF) measurements are displayed with color-specific chart colors and/or with text output.
LC can be reported as "Weak Bullish", "Bullish", or "Strong Bullish" for Bullish outlooks and "Weak Bearish", "Bearish" or "Strong Bearish" for Bearish outlooks. LC can also just be reported as "Bullish" or "Bearish".
Bullish LCs have a statistical correlation with future price appreciation, and Bearish LCs have a statistical correlation with price depreciation. When LC is “Bullish”, the price is likely to go up, and if LC is “Bearish”, the price is likely to go down.
Liquidity Flow (LF) is a measure of how LC is changing. When LC is becoming more bullish, LF is reported as “Improving”. When LC is becoming more bearish, LF is reported as “Worsening”. LF is only displayed via text output.
Settings and Configurations
LDPS Sensitivity and Reactivity: Determines if you want LDPS to be more sensitive to changing conditions or less sensitive. This choice affects how certain LDPS is when forming its future outlooks. LDPS achieves this increase in sensitivity and reactivity by lowering the bar for what LDPS considers a significant change.
Aggressive : LDPS will optimize reporting early changes in LC and LF at the expensive of accuracy. Aggressive is good for low-risk trading styles that prefer to exit a position early rather than deal with increased risk of oppositional movement.
Balanced : LDPS will try to balance reporting changes in LC and LF with maintaining accuracy. Balanced style is a good setting to start out with and is applicable across the widest range of equity’s and timeframes.
Conservative : LDPS will optimize accuracy over being sensitive to changes in LC or LF. Conservative is a good choice for lower timeframes and traders who only want to change or exit positions with the greatest confidence.
LDPS Reporting Style: Determines how you want LC to be reported.
Simplified : LDPS will only report LC as “Bullish” or “Bearish”.
Full : LDPS will increase its reporting details and include the “Strong” and “Weak” pre-fixes, when appropriate.
LDPS Candle Coloring: There are three different ways that LC can be reported on the chart via coloring.
LDPS Candle Replacement: This will replace the chart’s default candles with those created by LDPS. Note: In order to see LDPS’ candles and not the chart’s, you have to disable to chart’s candles. This can be done in Settings -> Symbol and unchecking “Body”, “Borders” and “Wick” boxes.
LDPS Candle Coloring: This will just color the bodies of the chart’s default candles. Note: This setting should not have the chart’s candle’s disabled.
LDPS Background Coloring: This will color the chart’s background rather than any candles.
LDPS Text Output: LC and LF are reported via a text box that can be moved several places on the chart, or the text box can be removed.
LDPS Measurements – Display: When selected, LC and LF will be reported via the text box.
LDPS Measurement – Text Location: Determines where the text box with LC and LF are located.
LDPS Measurement – Text Size: Determines the size of LC and LF within the text box.
LDPS Measurement – Background Color: Determines the background color of the text box with LC and LF.
LDPS Condition Color Selection – Bullish / Bearish: Color selection for each type of LC. Note: If the Simplified reporting style is selected, the “Full Bullish” and “Full Bearish” are the bullish and bearish color choices, respectively.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Where can I get additional Information?
Please check the “Author’s Instructions” section below.
Where can I find the results of the LDPS research?
Please check the “Author’s Instructions” section below.
Help! Something’s not working!
Apologies. Please see the email listed in “Author’s Instructions” below and let’s get started on solving the issue.
Which Sensitivity setting should I use?
The author’s preference is Conservative in most cases, but the answer for you depends on your preferred style.
An analogy might help: the aggressive setting will ensure LDPS is early to the party – every party. Of the parties that really kick off, you can be certain LDPS is there, but they had to visit a several of parties before finding the right one.
The Conservative setting won’t bring LDPS to every party – it will gladly stay at the one it’s at but when it detects the next real big hit, LDPS will move to that party instead. It won’t be the first one there, but it is definitely earlier than most.
Should I use the Full or Simplified reporting style?
Depending on how engaged you are with the particular equity or position, either choice can be beneficial. The Full reporting style will let you detect changes in LC before they might show with the Simplified reporting style. Some enjoy the additional data, some (like the Author) enjoy keeping things simple.
I can see LDPS’ colors in the chart’s candlesticks when the settings are open, but not when the settings are closed. How come?
If you are using the “LDPS Candle Replacement” setting, be sure to turn off the Chart’s default candles by right-clicking on the chart, going to Settings, then Symbol and then un-checking “Body”, “Border” and “Wick”. This should fix the issue.
I think there’s a bug – where do I report it?

Liquidity Dependent Price Movement AlgorithmLiquidity-Dependent Price Movement (LDPM) is a metric designed to directly measure liquidity on a equity in real time, and to translate those measurements into signals to provide insights into where the anticipate price-direction is headed.
Liquidity can be characterized as a way of measuring how smoothly things are running in the market. When things are running smoothly – such as when there is good agreement as to the price of an asset, then things are considered liquid. Conversely, when things are not running smoothly, just as when the bid or the ask do not agree with each other, then things are considered not liquid. These different states have different outcome liklihoods.
In a liquid environment, a stock can trade a lot of shares without moving the price. On the other hand, when a stock is not liquid, even small volumes can move the price substantially.
It is therefore helpful to know when a stock is liquid to the upside or to the downside, or even, when a stock is not liquid to the upside or the downside. These data have statistical associations with future price movement and volatility.
The use of LDPM is straightforward:
If the price is above LDPM: bullish outlooks.
If the price is below LDPM: bearish outlooks.
There are a few key differences about LDPM as compared to other indicators, namely that timeframe matters . That means, LDPM will tailor its output to the timeframe selected. The advantage of this is that it allows LDPM to be "tailored" to the specific timeframe as desired, without having to do any conversions or adaptations mentally.
Key Settings and Configurations:
Setting - Smoothing Type of LDPM :
Default: KF.
LDPM can be smoothened if desired. There are 5 different types of smoothing available:
EMA : Exponential Smoothing
SMA : Simple Smoothing
WMA : Weighted Smoothing
RMA : Modified Smoothing
KF : Kellman Smoothing
The default is "KF" for Kellman Smoothing.
Setting - Include LDPM-Granular :
Default: Off.
LDPM-Granular is the more "raw" form of LDPM that displays the candle-specific result, rather than the smoothened result. This can be toggled on or off, if desired. LDPM granular is helpful for looking at candle-specific
Setting - Place LDPM Standard :
Default: Off.
An additional, single, LDPM line can be placed via this toggle. Settings for this LDPM can be configured directly below toggle.
Setting - Place LDPM-Fib :
Default: On.
LDPM-Fib is a default setting for displaying 5 LDPMs (LDPM-13, LDPM-21, LDPM-34, LDPM-55, and LDPM-89) whose lookbacks are spaced via the Fib sequence. Useful for those who enjoy a static relationship between the different "layers" of LDPM.
Setting - Place LDPM-Reference :
Default: Off.
Since LDPM is time-interval dependent, there may be times when a higher-order timeframe is desired to act as a reference. For instance, suppose you want to go long if the 1-Hour LDPM experiences a bullish crossover, but you want to scalp shorts on the 15-minute timeframe until then. Then you could place the chart on the 15-minute interval for your scalping, and then place a 1-Hour reference LDPM that will show you when the 1-Hour LDPM and price experience a crossover.
Note: The reference must be a higher-order timeframe. So if your chart is on the 15-minute, you can only reference timeframes greater than 15.
Setting - LDPM Box Creation :
Default: On.
Instead of implementing a reference LDPM, it is possible to display the other timeframes in a data table with conditional coloring for if the overall LDPM-Price relationship is bullish or bearish.
Why Chose LDPM
There are no other Liquidity-measuring indicators available to the retail investor. Measuring liquidity often requires the use of expensive data and high-throughput computing to be used in real-time. Neither of these requirements apply to utilizing LDPM.
Additionally, the data are supportive that LDPM provides statistically significant, price-direction-correct outlooks.
Volume Breaker Blocks [UAlgo]The "Volume Breaker Blocks " indicator is designed to identify breaker blocks in the market based on volume and price action. It is a concept that emerges when an order block fails, leading to a change in market structure. It signifies a pivotal point where the market shifts direction, offering traders opportunities to enter trades based on anticipated trend continuation.
🔶 Key Features
Identifying Breaker Blocks: The indicator identifies breaker blocks by detecting pivot points in price action and corresponding volume spikes.
Breaker Block Sensitivity: Traders can adjust breaker block detection sensitivity, length to be used to find pivot points.
Mitigation Method (Close or Wick): Traders can choose between "Close" and "Wick" as the mitigation method. This choice determines whether the indicator considers closing prices or wicks in identifying breaker blocks. Selecting "Close" implies that breaker blocks will be considered broken when the closing price violates the block, while selecting "Wick" implies that the wick of the candle must violate the block for it to be considered broken.
Show Last X Breaker Blocks: Users can specify how many of the most recent breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Visualization: Volume breaker blocks are visually represented on the chart with customizable colors and text labels, allowing for easy interpretation of market conditions. Each breaker block is accompanied by informational text, including whether it's bullish or bearish and the corresponding volume, aiding traders in understanding the significance of each block.
🔶 Disclaimer
Educational Purpose: The "Volume Breaker Blocks " indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to engage in trading activities.
Risk of Loss: Trading in financial markets involves inherent risks, including the risk of loss of capital. Users should carefully consider their financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives before engaging in trading activities.
Accuracy Not Guaranteed: While the indicator aims to identify potential reversal points in the market, its accuracy and effectiveness may vary. Users should conduct thorough testing and analysis before relying solely on the indicator for trading decisions.
Past Performance: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical data and backtesting results may not accurately reflect actual market conditions or future performance.
Volatility and Volume by Hour EXT(Extended republication, use this instead of the old one)
The goal of this indicator is to show a “characteristic” of the instrument, regarding the price change and trading volume. You can see how the instrument “behaved” throughout the day in the lookback period. I've found this useful for timing in day trading.
The indicator creates a table on the chart to display various statistics for each hour of the day.
Important: ONLY SHOWS THE TABLE IF THE CHART’S TIMEFRAME IS 1H!
Explanation of the columns:
1. Volatility Percentage (Volat): This column shows the volatility of the price as a percentage. For example, a value of "15%" means the price movement was 15% of the total daily price movement within the hour.
2. Hourly Point Change (PointCh): This column shows the change in price points for each hour in the lookback period. For example, a value of "5" means the price has increased by 5 points in the hour, while "-3" means it has decreased by 3 points.
3. Hourly Point Change Percentage (PrCh% (LeverageX)): This column shows the percentage change in price points for each hour, adjusted with leverage multiplier. Displayed green (+) or red (-) accordingly. For example, a value of "10%" with a leverage of 2X means the price has effectively changed by 5% due to the leverage.
4. Trading Volume Percentage (TrVol): This column shows the percentage of the daily total volume that was traded in a specific hour. For example, a value of "10%" would mean that 10% of the day's total trading volume occurred in that hour.
5. Added New! - Relevancy Check: The indicator checks the last 24 candle. If the direction of the price movement was the same in the last 24 hour as the statistical direction in that hour, the background of the relevant hour in the second column goes green.
For example: if today at 9 o'clock the price went lower, so as at 9 o'clock in the loopback period, the instrument "behaves" according to statistics . So the statistics is probably more relevant for today. The more green background row the more relevancy.
Settings:
1. Lookback period: The lookback period is the number of previous bars from which data is taken to perform calculations. In this script, it's used in a loop that iterates over a certain number of past bars to calculate the statistics. TIP: Select a period the contains a trend in one direction, because an upward and a downward trend compensate the price movement in opposite directions.
2. Timezone: This is a string input that represents the user's timezone. The default value is "UTC+2". Adjust it to your timezone in order to view the hours properly.
3. Leverage: The default value is 10(!). This input is used to adjust the hourly point change percentage. For FOREX traders (for example) the statistics can show the leveraged percentage of price change. Set that according the leverage you trade the instrument with.
Use at your own risk, provided “as is” basis!
Hope you find it useful! Cheers!

📈 Structure
What Is IDM?
IDM, or the Institutional Distribution Model, is an advanced concept within SMC that focuses on how institutional players distribute their positions in the market. By analyzing IDM, traders can better anticipate price movements and potential turning points, thereby gaining a meaningful edge in their trading.
In our structure concept, IDM can form under specific conditions. The market does not always provide a high-liquidity point to work with, so we’ve adopted a flexible approach. We generate IDM when a certain type of liquidity appears during the impulse and BOS break, allowing for a potential future liquidity sweep.
Below, I will provide an example that illustrates when IDM forms as a liquidity magnet within the structure - and when it does not.
As shown in the example above, we focus on the initial impulse after the BOS. If liquidity forms during this impulse - liquidity that needs to be taken out during the structural move - we mark an IDM level as a price magnet. However, if this liquidity does not appear, we do not create an IDM. In that case, the same point might serve as an FVG or play a different role, depending on your trading approach.
This concept makes the structure more flexible and better able to respond immediately to market movements and key structural points.
Above is an example on the chart illustrating what the structure looks like both with and without IDM. As you can see, when the structural move includes pullbacks and consolidation, there is an opportunity to form an IDM as a price magnet. However, if the impulses are strong and lack pullbacks, FVG becomes the only magnet in that move. Depending on the chart, our indicator adapts to the current market conditions and highlights potential liquidity collection points.
📊 Swing and Minor Structure
In the new version of the indicator, the minor structure and the swing structure differ from each other.
Swing structure - In this structure, as mentioned earlier, the IDM concept remains a price magnet and is formed at certain points on the chart if the conditions allow. If these points do not appear, IDM might not form at all.
Minor structure - Here, we have completely removed IDM and only kept BOS and CHoCH for structure formation. We found that for a minor structure, this approach allows faster reactions to trend changes, depending on market movements.
By making these adjustments, we have resolved the main issue of the advanced structure, which was the large distance between BOS and CHoCH that sometimes resulted in a month-long consolidation between these levels. In this version, those problems no longer occur.
If, for some reason, your settings result in a larger swing structure, you can still work with the minor structure using the same POI as in the swing structure. OrderBlock and FVG remain the primary drivers of order flow.
Shown above is a screenshot of the main structure settings you can adjust. These settings are highly flexible and can be tailored to fit a wide range of trading preferences.
⚖️ FVG Concept
A new feature of our indicator is the FVG concept. We automatically detect three types of FVG at the moment, which will be explained below.
FVG - the standard Fair Value Gap
Double FVG - a double FVG, also referred to as BPR (Balanced Price Range)
Implied Imbalance - a type of imbalance that arises from buyer or seller demand
Below, we will look at examples of the FVG types we currently identify.
All price inefficiencies work in real time, immediately appearing on the chart and allowing traders to quickly respond to FVG reactions.
We have also enhanced this concept by displaying FVG reactions on the chart. If an FVG triggers a reaction and the price responds to that range, we highlight it on the chart, so you can recognize the reaction and make timely trading decisions. A screenshot below shows how this looks in practice.
Below is a screenshot illustrating the main settings of this concept, along with detailed descriptions.
📦 OrderBlock Concept
OrderBlocks provide an effective way to identify areas of interest and make informed decisions. We have dedicated significant effort to refining this section’s functionality and have achieved strong results in doing so.
Order Block Types
Advanced OrderBlock – A specialized type of order block generated by our internal algorithm. This can help traders aim for tighter entries and potentially more favorable risk-reward ratios within a narrow price range.
OrderBlock – The classic type, formed at the highs or lows of a structure when a BOS or CHoCH occurs. It can still be an effective entry method but typically spans a wider price range.
Extremum Candle – Based on liquidity grabs. The candle creating this order block must collect liquidity before making an impulsive move that breaks the BOS or CHoCH.
BTS / STB (Buy To Sell / Sell To Buy) – This concept may appear when market makers manipulate price to buy or sell an asset. It often covers a larger price range because it relies on a brief impulsive move to form.
Each type of order block has its own strengths and weaknesses. We provide traders with the flexibility to choose which types suit their trading style and preferences.
Above is an example of how you can apply OrderFlow alongside our structure and orderblocks, which can produce solid results when combined with the Smart Money concept.
In this demonstration, we have highlighted the Advanced Orderblock as an illustration.
Above is a screenshot of all the settings related to this section. They can be customized to suit your specific needs, ensuring you only see what is genuinely relevant on your chart.
📏 Previous Highs and Lows
You can select four levels to display on the chart as some of the most liquid zones:
Daily Highs and Lows
Weekly Highs and Lows
Monthly Highs and Lows
Quarterly Highs and Lows
This feature helps you identify important levels on lower timeframes and focus on these zones for potential trading opportunities. Below is an example of how it appears on the chart.
Below, you can see the settings available in this section.
📐 Fibonacci Levels
Likewise, a new section in our indicator is Fibonacci Levels, a well-known tool recognized as a reliable source of important levels on the chart. We have added this functionality with the option to choose how you want to generate these levels and which specific levels you want to display.
You can plot Fibonacci levels based on the Swing structure, Minor structure, previous or current day, month, and more. In total, there are 10 different options for constructing the Fibonacci grid.
Above, you can see an example of how it appears on the chart, and below you will find the settings available in this section.
🈹 Premium and Discount
Another useful feature for all traders is the Premium and Discount zones based on structure. This makes it easy to identify areas of interest—whether in a discount or premium zone, or in an equilibrium area.
Below, you can also see the settings available in this section.
✅ Additional Function
We have also separated a few functions into their own section:
Color Candles – Colors the candles according to the current trend.
Market Structure ZigZag – Visually highlights the zigzag used to form the structure.
Key Point Labels – Displays the points on the chart from which the structure is built.
Equal Highs & Lows – Identifies equal highs and lows as areas of potential liquidity for larger market players, as price often aims to sweep these zones.
Below are a few screenshots showing how these features appear on the chart.
Color Candles

Combined with extensive color and transparency options, this feature provides a flexible appearance for the indicator on any chart.
Below, you can see the settings available in this section
🔔 Alert Customization
You can configure over 16 types of reactions to various events on the chart. Additionally, you can set up alerts to trigger at specific fill levels and explore numerous other alert options, as shown in the screenshot below.
🟠 Usage Examples
We have also prepared several examples of how to use the indicator. These are standard entry models taken from the classic Smart Money concept.
First Example
In the screenshot above, the market displays a downward structure until a manipulation occurs, followed by a CHoCH break. This is a standard entry model featuring an entry at the nearest FVG, a stop-loss placed beyond the manipulation, and a target at the nearest liquidity zone—whether session-based or, as in our case, a gap (one of the FVG types) that price commonly revisits.
This is considered a more aggressive entry because we only waited for a single confirmation of the trend change—the CHoCH break—and then entered immediately afterward. While the WinRate might be lower in such trades, the Risk-Reward ratio is typically very high if you correctly identify the manipulation.
Second Example
This approach is more conservative and less risky, typically offering a higher WinRate but with a lower Risk-Reward ratio.
Here, we use the 4H FVG as our decision point (POI). With the indicator, we plot the 4-hour FVG on our current chart without needing to switch back and forth between timeframes.
Once price reaches our POI, we look for an entry model that includes three confirmations:
First Confirmation – A CHoCH break.
Second Confirmation – A manipulation.
Third Confirmation – A second BOS break.
We wait for all these confirmations before entering the trade, ensuring our stop-loss is well-protected since the remaining liquidity has been swept and the 4-hour FVG has been fully filled.
Our target is the full fill of a higher timeframe FVG or other high-liquidity levels below.
In a conservative setup, it is crucial to allow a complete OrderFlow to develop, including manipulations and clear breaks of lower levels. This approach helps protect the trade and often results in a higher WinRate.
🟠 Disclaimer
Past performance is not indicative of future results. To trade successfully, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of the market context and the specific situation at hand. Always conduct your own research and analysis before making any trading decisions.

KillZones & Sessions [TradingFinder] Volume | Asia, London & NY🔵 Introduction
🟣 Session
The forex market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, with only Saturdays and Sundays being off; traders often focus on one of the forex trading sessions instead of trying to trade in all markets 24 hours a day.
Trading sessions are time intervals during which a specific financial market is active and trades are conducted. The Asia, London, and New York sessions are the most important trading sessions throughout the 24-hour period, during which a significant amount of money and liquidity enters the market.
🟣 Kill Zone
Traders in financial markets profit from the difference between the price at which they buy or sell and the current market price. Traders have different time horizons for trading.
Among these, some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading and must operate during times when the market has desirable trading volumes and significant price movements.
Kill zones are segments of a session with higher trading volumes and price fluctuations compared to the rest of the session.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Session Time

Volume Buyer-Seller [GOODY]This indicator was designed to analyze buying and selling pressure through volume calculations, providing insights into market dynamics. It can be used to determine whether buyers or sellers dominate the market at any given time.
Key Features
1. Volume Calculations: This indicator calculates the volume attributable to buyers and sellers for each bar, then represents it as buying and selling columns on the chart. It also provides the average volume over a specified period for context.
2. Dominance Logic: By comparing the buying and selling volumes, the indicator determines which side (buyers or sellers) has dominance. If the difference between the two is within a specified threshold, the market is considered indecisive.
3. Dominance Marker: Circles or squares appear on the chart to indicate the dominant force, helping traders quickly assess market sentiment. The colors of these markers can be customized.
4. Label Display: The indicator displays a comprehensive label on the chart with information like total volume, buyer/seller percentages, average volume, ratio, and ATR (Average True Range) details. This label can show current or past data depending on user preference.
5. Ratio and Control: A critical component is the ratio, calculated as the proportion of buying volume to selling volume. This ratio is a key indicator of market sentiment, with an appended symbol to denote whether buyers or sellers are in control.
How to Use
• Settings: Adjust the settings to align with your trading strategy. You can modify the length for average volume, ATR, and other parameters to suit your trading style.
• Volume Analysis: Monitor the buying and selling columns to determine market activity. The larger columns indicate higher volume, suggesting a strong buying or selling pressure.
• Dominance: Pay attention to the dominance markers. Green markers indicate buying dominance, while red markers signify selling dominance. If the market is indecisive, the marker will be gray.
• Ratio: A ratio above 1 suggests buying dominance, while a ratio below 1 indicates selling dominance. The ratio's appended color tag helps quickly identify which side is in control.
• Labels: The labels provide a snapshot of key data, including total volume, buyer/seller percentages, average volume, ratio, and ATR. This information is helpful in understanding overall market conditions.
Reading the Indicator
• Buying and Selling Columns: These represent the respective volumes for each side. Positive columns are buying volumes, and negative columns are selling volumes.
• Dominance Circles: A circle appears at the zero baseline to show which side is currently dominant. A blue circle indicates buying dominance, while a red circle indicates selling dominance.
• Ratio with Dominance: The label includes a ratio with a tag showing who is in control. A green tag indicates buyers, and a red tag indicates sellers.
• ATR and Average Volume: The label provides additional context with ATR and average volume, helping you understand volatility and relative volume.
Volume Gauge Addition : Introduced a volume gauge display option to visualize the relative strength of buying vs. selling volumes. Users can toggle this feature on or off according to their analysis needs.

ATR (Average True Range)
Metric: Displays "ATR."
Value: Shows the current ATR value to gauge volatility, with an arrow indicating the direction of change from the previous bar’s ATR.
Usage: Utilize to assess market volatility and potentially adjust trading strategies or risk management settings.
Dynamic Background Colors
The table employs dynamic background colors for certain metrics to visually represent data intensity or significance:
Total Volume: Changes color based on the percentage relative to the average volume.
Buyers/Sellers: The background color indicates whether buying or selling is dominant.
Delta and Ratio: Colors change based on their calculated values to reflect market conditions quickly.
What is Volume Delta?
Volume delta, also known as volume difference or volume delta divergence, refers to the difference between buying (accumulation) and selling (distribution) volumes within a given time period. It provides a quantitative measure of the net buying or selling pressure in the market.
How to Use Volume Delta:
Identifying Market Sentiment:
Positive delta values indicate that buying volume exceeds selling volume, suggesting bullish sentiment.
Negative delta values indicate that selling volume exceeds buying volume, suggesting bearish sentiment.
Confirming Price Movements:
Volume delta can be used to confirm price movements. For example, if prices are rising and volume delta is positive, it may suggest that the uptrend is supported by strong buying interest.
Conversely, if prices are falling and volume delta is negative, it may suggest that the downtrend is supported by strong selling pressure.
Spotting Divergence:
Divergence between price and volume delta can signal potential trend reversals. For example, if prices are rising but volume delta is declining (or vice versa), it may indicate weakening momentum and a possible reversal in trend.
Confirming Breakouts:
Volume delta can help confirm breakout moves. For instance, a breakout accompanied by increasing positive delta values may suggest strong buying interest and validate the breakout.
In summary, volume delta provides valuable insights into market sentiment and can be used alongside price action analysis to make more informed trading decisions.
Volume Profile with Node Detection [LuxAlgo]The Volume Profile with Node Detection is a charting tool that allows visualizing the distribution of traded volume across specific price levels and highlights significant volume nodes or clusters of volume nodes that traders may find relevant in utilizing in their trading strategies.
🔶 USAGE
The volume profile component of the script serves as the foundation for node detection while encompassing all the essential features expected from a volume profile. See the sub-sections below for more detailed information about the indicator components and their usage.
🔹 Peak Volume Node Detection
A volume peak node is identified when the volume profile nodes for the N preceding and N succeeding nodes are lower than that of the evaluated one.
Displaying peak volume nodes along with their surrounding N nodes (Zones or Clusters) helps visualize the range, typically representing consolidation zones in the market. This feature enables traders to identify areas where trading activity has intensified, potentially signaling periods of price consolidation or indecision among market participants.
🔹 Trough Volume Node Detection
A volume trough node is identified when the volume profile nodes for the N preceding and N succeeding nodes are higher than that of the evaluated one.
🔹 Highest and Lowest Volume Nodes
Both the highest and lowest volume areas play significant roles in trading. The highest volume areas typically represent zones of strong price acceptance, where a significant amount of trading activity has occurred. On the other hand, the lowest volume areas signify price levels with minimal trading activity, often indicating zones of price rejection or areas where market participants have shown less interest.
🔹 Volume profile
Volume profile is calculated based on the volume of trades that occur at various price levels within a specified timeframe. It divides the price range into discrete price intervals, typically known as "price buckets" or "price bars," and then calculates the total volume of trades that occur at each price level within those intervals. This information is then presented graphically as a histogram or profile, where the height of each bar represents the volume of trades that occurred at that particular price level.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Volume Nodes
Volume Peaks: Toggles the visibility of either the "Peaks" or "Clusters" on the chart, depending on the specified percentage for detection.
Node Detection Percent %: Specifies the percentage for the Volume Peaks calculation.
Volume Troughs: Toggles the visibility of either the "Troughs" or "Clusters" on the chart, depending on the specified percentage for detection.
Node Detection Percent %: Specifies the percentage for the Volume Troughs calculation.
Volume Node Threshold %: A threshold value specified as a percentage is utilized to detect peak/trough volume nodes. If a value is set, the detection will disregard volume node values lower than the specified threshold.
Highest Volume Nodes: Toggles the visibility of the highest nodes for the specified count.
Lowest Volume Nodes: Toggles the visibility of the lowest nodes for the specified count.
🔹 Volume Profile - Components
Volume Profile: Toggles the visibility of the volume profile with either classical display or gradient display.
Value Area Up / Down: Color customization option for the volume nodes within the value area of the profile.
Profile Up / Down Volume: Color customization option for the volume nodes outside of the value area of the profile.
Point of Control: Toggles the visibility of the point of control, allowing selection between "developing" or "regular" modes. Sets the color and width of the point of control line accordingly.
Value Area High (VAH): Toggles the visibility of the value area high level and allows customization of the line color.
Value Area Low (VAL): Toggles the visibility of the value area low level and allows customization of the line color.
Profile Price Labels: Toggles the visibility of the Profile Price Levels and allows customization of the text size of the levels.
🔹 Volume Profile - Display Settings
Profile Lookback Length: Specifies the length of the profile lookback period.
Value Area (%): Specifies the percentage for calculating the value area.
Profile Placement: Specify where to display the profile.
Profile Number of Rows: Specify the number of rows the profile will have.
Profile Width %: Adjusts the width of the rows in the profile relative to the profile range.
Profile Horizontal Offset: Adjusts the horizontal offset of the profile when it is selected to be displayed on the right side of the chart.
Value Area Background: Toggles the visibility of the value area background and allows customization of the fill color.
Profile Background: Toggles the visibility of the profile background and allows customization of the fill color.

Volume Flow ImbalanceVolume Flow Imbalance (VFI) Indicator
The Volume Flow Imbalance (VFI) indicator is designed to provide traders with insights into the market's buying and selling pressure by calculating the imbalance between buy and sell volumes over a user-defined lookback period. This indicator is particularly useful for identifying potential pivot points and market sentiment shifts.
How to Use :
Setup Parameters :
Lookback Period: Set the number of bars over which the imbalance is calculated. Increasing this number provides a broader view of market trends.
Lower Timeframe Data: Optionally enable this feature to analyze volume data from lower timeframes, offering a more granified view of volume flows.
Interpreting the Indicator :
The VFI outputs a value that represents the net imbalance between buying and selling volumes. Positive values indicate a predominance of buying volume, suggesting bullish conditions, while negative values suggest bearish conditions with more selling volume.
The indicator also provides dynamic threshold lines based on the standard deviation of the calculated imbalances, helping to visually identify extreme conditions where reversals might occur.
Application :
Apply the VFI to any chart to assess the balance of trade volumes in real-time.
Use the indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm trends or potential reversals.
Tips :
Adjust the lookback period based on the volatility and trading volume of the asset to optimize performance.
The VFI is best used in liquid markets where volume data is a reliable indicator of market activity.
By providing a clear measure of how much buying and selling is occurring relative to the past, the VFI helps traders make informed decisions based on underlying market dynamics.
PriceCatch Volume Analysis Fixed RangeHi TV Community.
It's been sometime since I published any script / utility. But today, I am back with a new script.
Volume Analysis
Studying volume when in trade or before taking one is very important as seasoned traders would tell you. So, this script helps you to look at volume over a specific interval from current bar. You will have to set the look-back period in the settings dialog.
The script will then show over that period :
Number of Up and Down bars
Volume Ratio of Up Volume over Down Volume
Actual Up and Down Volume
Percentage of Up Volume to Down Volume
I use this information in all my trades and hope that you will also find this Script useful.
To my knowledge, I have not seen another volume analysis script that helps see volume in the way this script does.
NOTE:
This script does not give any buy or sell signal if that is what you are looking for. But if you see that Up Volume is 3 times Down Volume, then that should mean something to you. So also when price is slipping down.
Disclaimer
I am sharing this Script without any warranties as to its usability. Use it only if you like it. As always when it comes to trading you and you alone are responsible for your actions.
All the best with your trades.
