Cumulative Volume Delta with MACVD is a volume-based indicator that helps analyze buying and selling pressure in the market. It tracks the difference between buying volume and selling volume, showing whether the market is being accumulated or distributed.
How CVD Works
Volume Delta Calculation:
If price closes higher than the previous bar → Volume is added to CVD (buying pressure).
If price closes lower than the previous bar → Volume is subtracted from CVD (selling pressure).
CVD Cumulative Calculation:
Keeps a running total of volume delta over time.
If the CVD line is rising, buyers are in control; if falling, sellers dominate.
Moving Average on CVD:
A moving average (MA) smooths out the CVD line, helping identify trends more clearly.
Common choices: EMA (Exponential MA) or SMA (Simple MA).

Liquidity Sweep Filter [AlgoAlpha]Unlock a deeper understanding of market liquidity with the Liquidity Sweep Filter by AlgoAlpha. This indicator identifies liquidity sweeps, highlighting key price levels where large liquidations have occurred. By visualizing major and minor liquidation events, traders can better anticipate potential reversals and market structure shifts, making this an essential tool for those trading in volatile conditions.
Key Features :
🔍 Liquidity Sweep Detection – Identifies and highlights areas where liquidity has been swept, distinguishing between major and minor liquidation events.
📊 Volume Profile Integration – Displays a volume profile overlay, helping traders spot high-activity price zones where the market is likely to react.
📈 Trend-Based Filtering – Utilizes an adaptive trend detection algorithm to refine liquidity sweeps based on market direction, reducing noise.
🎨 Customizable Visualization – Modify colors, thresholds, and display settings to tailor the indicator to your trading style.
🔔 Alerts for Liquidity Sweeps & Trend Changes – Stay ahead of the market by receiving alerts when significant liquidity events or trend shifts occur.
How to Use:
🛠 Add the Indicator : Add the Liquidity Sweep Filter to your chart and configure the settings based on your preferred sensitivity. Adjust the major sweep threshold to filter out smaller moves.
📊 Analyze Liquidity Zones and trend direction : Look for liquidation levels where large buy or sell stops have been triggered. Major sweeps indicate strong reactions, while minor sweeps show gradual liquidity absorption. You can also see which levels are high in liquidity by the transparency of the levels.
🔔 Set-Up Alerts : Use the in-built alerts so you don't miss a trading opportunity
How It Works :
The Liquidity Sweep Filter detects liquidity events by tracking swing highs and lows (defined as a pivot where neighboring candles are lower/higher than it) where traders are likely to have placed stop-loss orders. It evaluates volume and price action, marking areas where liquidity has been absorbed by the market. Additionally, the integrated trend filter ensures that only relevant liquidity sweeps are highlighted based on market direction, lows in an uptrend and highs in a downtrend. The trend filter works by calculating a basis, and defining trend shifts when the closing price crosses over the upper or lower bands.The included volume profile further enhances analysis by displaying key trading zones where price may react.

Volume Metrics & Market CapitalizationThis Pine Script indicator provides a comparative view of volume metrics and market capitalization to help traders analyze relative volume strength in the context of a stock’s overall size.
Key Features:
Volume Formatting:
Converts numerical values into readable units (K for thousand, M for million, B for billion, T for trillion).
Volume Metrics:
Displays current bar volume, cumulative daily volume, and 30-day average volume.
Market Capitalization Calculation:
Uses the outstanding shares multiplied by closing price to estimate market cap.
Table Display:
Shows all these values in an easy-to-read table in the bottom-right of the chart.
How It Helps Compare Relative Volume to Market Cap
Relative Volume Strength
By comparing current volume and 30-day average volume, traders can quickly gauge if today’s volume is unusually high or low.
If daily volume exceeds the 30-day average, it suggests increased market interest in the stock.
Market Cap Context
Market cap provides a reference for whether a stock is large-cap, mid-cap, or small-cap, influencing how volume should be interpreted.
A high volume surge in a low market cap stock may indicate stronger momentum compared to the same volume change in a large-cap stock.
Liquidity and Volatility Signals
Comparing volume to market cap helps determine liquidity—stocks with low market cap but high volume may be more volatile.
Example: A small-cap stock with $50M market cap trading $20M daily volume is seeing 40% turnover, a significant indicator of strong movement.
Practical Use Case
Day Traders: Spot stocks experiencing unusual volume surges relative to their market cap, identifying potential breakout or momentum plays.
Swing Traders: Assess if a stock is trading at above-average volume levels, confirming strength in trends.
Investors: Understand liquidity and potential institutional interest in stocks, as larger players typically trade in high market-cap names with sustained volume.
This indicator is a quick-glance tool for identifying high-volume stocks relative to their size, helping traders make more informed decisions on potential opportunities. 🚀
Engulfing Pattern with Volume and EMAs
**Strategy Overview:
This strategy combines price action (Engulfing patterns), volume analysis, trend confirmation (EMAs), and noise reduction (ATR filter) to generate high-probability trading signals.
Engulfing Pattern with Volume, EMAs, and Market Noise Filter**
This strategy identifies bullish and bearish Engulfing candlestick patterns, combined with volume analysis, moving averages (EMAs), and a market noise filter to generate trading signals.
**Key Components:**
1. **Engulfing Pattern Detection:**
- **Bullish Engulfing**: A green candle completely engulfs the previous red candle.
- **Bearish Engulfing**: A red candle completely engulfs the previous green candle.
2. **Volume Filter:**
- Signals are validated only if the current volume is higher than the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume.
3. **EMA Indicators:**
- Three EMAs are plotted: 50-period (blue), 89-period (orange), and 200-period (red).
- These EMAs help identify the trend direction and provide additional confirmation.
4. **Market Noise Filter:**
- Uses the Average True Range (ATR) to filter out insignificant price movements.
- A signal is considered valid only if the price movement (absolute difference between open and close) is greater than 0.5 times the 14-period ATR.
**Trading Signals:**
**Buy Signal**:
- Bullish Engulfing pattern + High volume (above SMA 20) + Significant price movement (filtered by ATR).
- Plotted as a green "BUY" label below the candle.
**Sell Signal**:
- Bearish Engulfing pattern + High volume (above SMA 20) + Significant price movement (filtered by ATR).
- Plotted as a red "SELL" label above the candle.
**Customization:**
- Users can adjust EMA lengths, volume SMA period, and ATR multiplier to suit their trading preferences.
ICT Balanced Price Range - Double FVG with VolumeThis is an FVG indicator combined with volume to identify moments when a sudden volume spike creates a price gap.
Additionally, I've added the ICT Balanced Price Range, which occurs when two opposing FVGs form a connected gap. This gap has a high probability of reversal and is one of the key signs of liquidity sweeps.
Unlike other FVG indicators that filter FVGs based on ATR, average price, or range, I believe such methods lead to overfitting and may not work across multiple pairs with a single setting. Instead, I only filter FVGs when there are consecutive overlapping FVGs.
The indicator includes full functionality:
Candle color customization
FVG line color customization
FVG fill color customization
BPR color customization
Adjustable average volume and volume threshold
Highlighting candles with abnormal volume
Enjoy and make sure to backtest thoroughly before using!
RSI of Accumulation/DistributionHow to Use the RSI of Accumulation/Distribution Indicator:
1. Identify Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
Overbought: When the RSI of the ADL is above 70, it indicates that the asset may be overbought and could be due for a pullback or correction.
Oversold: When the RSI of the ADL is below 30, it suggests that the asset may be oversold and could be poised for a rebound.
2. Look for Divergences:
Bullish Divergence: If the price is making lower lows while the RSI of the ADL is making higher lows, it can signal a potential reversal to the upside.
Bearish Divergence: If the price is making higher highs while the RSI of the ADL is making lower highs, it can indicate a potential reversal to the downside.
3. Confirm Trend Strength:
Use the RSI of the ADL to confirm the strength of a trend. For example, if the RSI is consistently above 50 during an uptrend, it suggests strong buying pressure and the trend is likely to continue.
Conversely, if the RSI is consistently below 50 during a downtrend, it indicates strong selling pressure and the trend is likely to persist.
4. Monitor for Reversals:
When the RSI of the ADL crosses above 50, it can signal a potential bullish reversal.
When the RSI of the ADL crosses below 50, it can signal a potential bearish reversal.
Is It Worth It?
The RSI of the Accumulation/Distribution Line can be a valuable tool for traders looking to gain insights into market momentum and trend strength. Here are a few reasons why it might be worth considering:
1. Volume and Price Combination: By combining price action (RSI) with volume-based analysis (ADL), this indicator provides a more comprehensive view of market dynamics.
2. Divergence Detection: It helps identify divergences between price and volume, which can be early signals of potential reversals.
3. Trend Confirmation: It offers additional confirmation of trend strength and potential reversal points, helping traders make more informed decisions.
However, like any indicator, it's important to use it in conjunction with other analysis methods and not rely on it solely for trading decisions. Backtesting the indicator on historical data and combining it with other technical analysis tools can improve its effectiveness.

Volatility-Volume Index (VVI)Volatility-Volume Index (VVI) – Indicator Description
The Volatility-Volume Index (VVI) is a custom trading indicator designed to identify market consolidation and anticipate breakouts by combining volatility (ATR) and trading volume into a single metric.
How It Works
Measures Volatility : Uses a 14-period Average True Range (ATR) to gauge price movement intensity.
Tracks Volume : Monitors trading activity to identify accumulation or distribution phases.
Normalization : ATR and volume are normalized using their respective 20-period Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for a balanced comparison.
Interpretation
VVI < 1: Low volatility and volume → Consolidation phase (range-bound market).
VVI > 1: Increased volatility and/or volume → Potential breakout or trend continuation.
How to Use VVI
Detect Consolidation:
Look for extended periods where VVI remains below 1.
Confirm with sideways price movement in a narrow range.
Anticipate Breakouts:
A spike above 1 signals a possible trend shift or breakout.
Why Use VVI?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators (ATR, Bollinger Bands) or volume-based tools (VWAP), VVI combines both elements to provide a clearer picture of consolidation zones and breakout potential.
Chaikin Money Flow with Moving AverageThis indicator combines the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) with a moving average, helping traders analyze buying/selling pressure and whether it's increasing or decreasing.
What It Does:
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) developed by Marc Chaikin is a volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution over a specified period.
A moving average is applied to CMF to reduce noise and smooth trends, making it easier to identify sustained market sentiment shifts.
How to Use It?
CMF helps confirm trend strength and potential reversals. We reduces false signals from CMF by smoothing fluctuations and making it easier to spot trends.
A CMF value above zero is a sign of strength, and a value below zero is a sign of weakness.
A rising price with a falling CMF (below moving average) is a bearish divergence and a possible reversal of the uptrend.
Similarly, a falling price with a rising CMF (above moving average) is a bullish divergence and again signals a possible reversal of the downtrend.
Configurable Parameters:
CMF Length: Adjusts how many periods are used for CMF calculation.
MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or T3 for smoothing.
MA Length: Controls how much smoothing is applied.
This tool is great for traders looking to improve volume-based trend analysis while filtering out short-term noise.

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

Pivot Candles with MFI Opacity (No Plot)How to Use the Pivot Candles with MFI Opacity Indicator for Trade Entries and Position Management
Overview
This indicator is designed not only to display key pivot levels (support and resistance) and Money Flow Index (MFI) signals on your chart, but also to help you structure systematic order entries and position management. By combining pivot levels with dynamic MFI-based candle opacity, the indicator provides a visual framework that technical analysts and quants can use to time buy and sell stop orders as well as to pyramid positions or take profits.
Trade Entry with Pivot Levels
Buy Stop Orders Above R1:
Concept: In many technical setups, resistance levels such as R1 are viewed as potential breakout points. A buy stop order placed just above R1 allows you to enter a long position only when price decisively breaks the prior resistance, confirming bullish momentum.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates pivot levels based on the previous higher‑timeframe bar, so R1 is “locked in” for the current period.
When the current candle closes above R1, it may signal a breakout.
Technical analysts often place a buy stop order slightly above R1 (for example, a few ticks or pips above the level) to confirm the move.
Practical Application:
Quants and systematic traders can program their models to monitor when the current close exceeds R1.
Once this condition is met, a buy stop order is triggered to capture the breakout move, ensuring that you only participate if the price decisively moves upward.
Sell Stop Orders Below S1:
Concept: Conversely, S1 acts as a support level. A sell stop order placed just below S1 is designed to capture a breakdown. This order is activated when price closes below S1, indicating that selling pressure may be overwhelming.
How It Works:
With pivot levels fixed from the previous higher‑timeframe bar, S1 provides a reference for potential support.
A close below S1 can be interpreted as a sign of a bearish reversal or a continuation of a downtrend.
Practical Application:
Quants set up their systems to watch for a break below S1.
A sell stop order is positioned just below S1 to ensure that if the support level fails, the system can quickly initiate a short position to capture the downward move.
Using MFI for Position Management
Pyramiding and Profit Taking:
Dynamic Candle Opacity:
The Money Flow Index (MFI) in this indicator not only provides overbought/oversold alerts but also controls the opacity of your candlesticks. When MFI readings are high, the candles become more opaque, indicating strong buying pressure. Conversely, lower MFI values lead to more transparent candles, suggesting reduced momentum.
Pyramiding Long Positions:
Strategy:
In a strong trend, technical analysts might choose to add to a winning position gradually—a process known as pyramiding.
Implementation:
As long as the price remains above R1 and MFI readings are supportive (high and consistent), you may consider adding to your long position incrementally.
Each new buy stop order can be set above R1 with slightly adjusted trigger levels to capture further breakout strength.
Risk Management:
Quants use the MFI reading as a risk filter; if MFI begins to drop or the candles become significantly more transparent, it may be a cue to stop pyramiding or even begin taking profits.
Taking Profit Using MFI and Pivot Reversals:
Profit Targeting:
When price reaches higher resistance levels (e.g., R2 or R3) or shows signs of overextension in conjunction with extreme MFI levels (for instance, a sudden drop in MFI after a strong rally), you can begin taking partial profits.
Systematic Exit:
A systematic strategy might include scaling out of the position as the price approaches the next resistance level or when the MFI indicates that buying momentum is waning.
Similarly, for short positions entered below S1, profit targets might be set near subsequent support levels, with exits triggered if MFI suggests a reversal.
Summary
Entry Orders:
Place buy stop orders just above R1 to capture breakouts.
Place sell stop orders just below S1 to capture breakdowns.
Position Management with MFI:
Use MFI-based candle opacity as a visual indicator of momentum.
Pyramid positions in the direction of the trend when MFI confirms strength.
Consider partial exits if MFI readings start to reverse or if the price nears the next pivot level.
By following this systematic approach, technical analysts and quants can use the indicator not only as a visual tool but as an integral part of an automated or semi-automated trading system that emphasizes disciplined entries, pyramiding, and profit-taking.
High Volume Points [BigBeluga]High Volume Points is a unique volume-based indicator designed to highlight key liquidity zones where significant market activity occurs. By visualizing high-volume pivots with dynamically sized markers and optional support/resistance levels, traders can easily identify areas of interest for potential breakouts, liquidity grabs, and trend reversals.
🔵 Key Features:
High Volume Points Visualization:
The indicator detects pivot highs and lows with exceptionally high trading volume.
Each high-volume point is displayed as a concentric circle, with its size dynamically increasing based on the volume magnitude.
The exact volume at the pivot is shown within the circle.
Dynamic Levels from Volume Pivots:
Horizontal levels are drawn from detected high-volume pivots to act as support or resistance.
Traders can use these levels to anticipate potential liquidity zones and market reactions.
Liquidity Grabs Detection:
If price crosses a high-volume level and grabs liquidity, the level automatically changes to a dashed line.
This feature helps traders track areas where institutional activity may have occurred.
Volume-Based Filtering:
Users can filter volume points by a customizable threshold from 0 to 6, allowing them to focus only on the most significant high-volume pivots.
Lower thresholds capture more volume points, while higher thresholds highlight only the most extreme liquidity events.
🔵 Usage:
Identify strong support/resistance zones based on high-volume pivots.
Track liquidity grabs when price crosses a high-volume level and converts it into a dashed line.
Filter volume points based on significance to remove noise and focus on key areas.
Use volume circles to gauge the intensity of market interest at specific price points.
High Volume Points is an essential tool for traders looking to track institutional activity, analyze liquidity zones, and refine their entries based on volume-driven market structure.

Opening Range, Initial Balance, Opening Price, Pre-market Levels### Description of the Indicator: **Opening Range, Initial Balance, Opening Price, Pre-market Levels**
This custom TradingView indicator provides a comprehensive view of key price levels for intraday trading, specifically designed to track important levels from the Opening Range (OR), Initial Balance (IB), Opening Price (OP), and Pre-market session (PM). These levels are essential for traders to gauge potential market movements and identify critical areas of support and resistance.
#### **Features:**
1. **Opening Range (OR):**
- This is the high and low of the first 30 minutes of the regular market session (09:30 - 10:00 EST).
- The OR high and low act as significant levels that may influence price movement for the rest of the day.
- The mid-level of the Opening Range (OR Mid) is also plotted to give a more detailed view of potential price action.
2. **Initial Balance (IB):**
- The Initial Balance is the range created during the first hour of market activity (09:30 - 10:30 EST).
- This range often sets the tone for the market's direction. The IB high and low, along with the IB midline, are plotted for quick reference.
3. **Opening Price (OP):**
- The opening price of the market is marked as a circle and labeled "OP."
- This level provides context for market sentiment when compared to the high and low levels.
4. **Pre-market Levels (PM):**
- The pre-market session (04:00 - 09:30 EST) has its own important levels that are calculated for the high, low, and mid range (PM High, PM Low, and PM Mid).
- These levels are plotted and are useful for traders to understand where the market stood before the regular session opened.
#### **Customization Options:**
- **Exchange Timezone:** You can choose whether to display the times in the exchange's local timezone or in your own preferred timezone.
- **Mid Levels Display:** You can toggle whether the mid levels for each range (OR, IB, PM) should be shown on the chart.
- **Level Color Change:** The colors of the plotted levels (high, low, mid) change based on whether the price is above or below the respective level, making it easy to visualize potential support and resistance.
- **Label Positions:** The position of the labels (OR, IB, OP, PM) on the chart can be customized to avoid overlap with other data points.
#### **Key Use Cases:**
- **Intraday Trend Analysis:** Use the OR and IB to identify key levels for the day, providing insights into the possible trend or range for the day.
- **Pre-market Insights:** The PM levels are crucial for understanding where the market stood during the pre-market hours and can be used as reference points during the regular session.
- **Potential Support and Resistance:** The high and low levels of the OR, IB, and PM sessions can act as potential support or resistance, which are useful for setting stop-loss and take-profit levels.
#### **How to Use:**
- Pay attention to the levels provided for OR, IB, and PM as potential entry and exit points.
- Watch for breakouts or reversals around these levels, especially when combined with other technical indicators or price action patterns.
- The mid levels offer an additional reference to assess price direction or identify possible areas of consolidation.
This indicator is perfect for day traders who rely on key intraday levels and pre-market activity to make informed trading decisions. It helps to streamline the process of identifying potential breakouts, reversals, and ranges in the market.
Money Flow Index MTF + Alerts with Candle Opacity & LabelsHow to Use the Money Flow Index MTF + Alerts with Candle Opacity & Labels Indicator
Overview:
This indicator is designed to help you gauge the buying and selling pressure in a market by using the Money Flow Index (MFI). Unlike many momentum oscillators, the MFI incorporates both price and volume, providing a unique perspective on market activity. It is particularly useful when you want to visually assess potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Indicator Components:
Money Flow Index (MFI) Calculation:
The indicator computes the MFI using a user-defined look-back period (default is 14 bars). The MFI is scaled between 0 and 100, where values above 80 typically indicate overbought conditions and values below 20 suggest oversold conditions.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
You can choose to calculate the MFI using either the current chart’s timeframe or a custom timeframe (for example, a 4-hour chart). This flexibility allows you to compare longer-term money flow trends against your primary trading timeframe.
Candle Opacity Based on MFI:
The opacity of the candles on your chart is dynamically adjusted based on the current MFI reading. When the MFI is high (near 100), candles become more opaque; when the MFI is low (near 0), candles appear more transparent. This visual cue can help you quickly spot changes in market momentum.
Visual Labels for Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
When the MFI crosses into the overbought territory, a red label reading “Overbought” is displayed above the high of the bar. Similarly, when it crosses into the oversold territory, a green label reading “Oversold” is placed below the low of the bar. These labels provide an immediate visual alert to potential reversal points or areas of caution.
Alert Conditions:
The script also includes alert conditions for both overbought and oversold signals. You can set up TradingView alerts so that you are notified in real time when the indicator detects these conditions.
Theory Behind the Money Flow Index (MFI):
The Money Flow Index is a momentum oscillator that uses both price and volume to signal the strength behind price moves.
Overbought Conditions: When the MFI is above 80, it suggests that buying pressure is very strong and the asset might be due for a pullback or consolidation.
Oversold Conditions: Conversely, when the MFI falls below 20, selling pressure is high and the asset might be oversold, potentially priming it for a bounce.
Keep in mind that in strong trending markets, overbought or oversold readings can persist for extended periods, so the MFI should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools.
Position Management Guidance:
While the indicator is useful for spotting potential overbought and oversold conditions, it is not designed to serve as an automatic signal to completely close a position. Instead, you might consider using it as a guide for pyramiding—gradually adding to your position over several days rather than exiting all at once. This approach allows you to better manage risk by:
Scaling In or Out Gradually: Instead of making one large position change, you can add or reduce your position in increments as market conditions evolve.
Diversifying Risk: Pyramiding helps you avoid the pitfalls of trying to time the market perfectly on a single trade exit or entry.
How to Get Started:
Apply the Indicator:
Add the indicator to your TradingView chart. Adjust the input settings (length, oversold/overbought levels, and resolution) as needed for your trading style and the market you’re analyzing.
Watch the Candles:
Observe the dynamic opacity of your candles. A sudden change in opacity can be a sign that the underlying money flow is shifting.
Monitor the Labels:
Pay attention to the “Overbought” or “Oversold” labels that appear. Use these cues in combination with your broader analysis to decide if it might be a good time to add to or gradually exit your position.
Set Up Alerts:
Configure TradingView alerts based on the indicator’s alert conditions so that you are notified when the MFI reaches extreme levels.
Use as Part of a Broader Strategy:
Remember, no single indicator should dictate your entire trading decision. Combine MFI signals with other technical analysis, risk management rules, and market insights to guide your trades.
Smart Money Index + True Strength IndexThe Smart Money Index + True Strength Index indicator is a combination of two popular technical analysis indicators: the Smart Money Index (SMI) and the True Strength Index (TSI). This combined indicator helps traders identify potential entry points for long and short positions based on signals from both indexes.
Main Components:
Smart Money Index (SMI):
The SMI measures the difference between the closing and opening price of a candle multiplied by the trading volume over a certain period of time. This allows you to assess the activity of large players ("smart money") in the market. If the SMI value is above a certain threshold (smiThreshold), it may indicate a bullish trend, and if lower, it may indicate a bearish trend.
True Strength Index (TSI):
The TSI is an oscillator that measures the strength of a trend by comparing the price change of the current bar with the previous bar. It uses two exponential moving averages (EMAS) to smooth the data. TSI values can fluctuate around zero, with values above the overbought level indicating a possible downward correction, and values below the oversold level signaling a possible upward correction.
Parameters:
SMI Length: Defines the number of candles used to calculate the average SMI value. The default value is 14.
SMI Threshold: A threshold value that is used to determine a buy or sell signal. The default value is 0.
Length of the first TSI smoothing (tsiLength1): The length of the first EMA for calculating TSI. The default value is 25.
Second TSI smoothing length (tsiLength2): The length of the second EMA for additional smoothing of TSI values. The default value is 13.
TSI Overbought level: The level at which the market is considered to be overbought. The default value is 25.
Oversold level TSI: The level at which it is considered that the market is in an oversold state. The default value is -25.
Logic of operation:
SMI calculation:
First, the difference between the closing and opening price of each candle (close - open) is calculated.
This difference is then multiplied by the trading volume.
The resulting product is averaged using a simple moving average (SMA) over a specified period (smiLength).
Calculation of TSI:
The price change relative to the previous bar is calculated (close - close ).
The first EMA with the length tsiLength1 is applied.
Next, a second EMA with a length of tsiLength2 is applied to obtain the final TSI value.
The absolute value of price changes is calculated in the same way, and two emas are also applied.
The final TSI index is calculated as the ratio of these two values multiplied by 100.
Graphical representation:
The SMI and TSI lines are plotted on the graph along with their respective thresholds.
For SMI, the line is drawn in orange, and the threshold level is dotted in gray.
For the TSI, the line is plotted in blue, the overbought and oversold levels are indicated by red and green dotted lines, respectively.
Conditions for buy/sell signals:
A buy (long) signal is generated when:
SMI is greater than the threshold (smi > smiThreshold)
TSI crosses the oversold level from bottom to top (ta.crossover(tsi, oversold)).
A sell (short) signal is generated when:
SMI is less than the threshold (smi < smiThreshold)
TSI crosses the overbought level from top to bottom (ta.crossunder(tsi, overbought)).
Signal display:
When the conditions for a long or short are met, labels labeled "LONG" or "SHORT" appear on the chart.
The label for the long is located under the candle and is colored green, and for the short it is above the candle and is colored red.
Notification generation:
The indicator also supports notifications via the TradingView platform. Notifications are sent when conditions arise for a long or short position.
This combined indicator provides the trader with the opportunity to use both SMI and TSI signals simultaneously, which can improve the accuracy of trading decisions.

⚙️ How It Works
The indicator calculates pivot highs/lows dynamically (or uses user-defined time periods) to plot Fibonacci retracement levels. It then builds a volume profile by analyzing historical volume data, grouping it into price bins to highlight volume-heavy zones. The Point of Control (PoC) is identified as the level with the highest traded volume, acting as a key price magnet. The color-coded Fibonacci levels help traders spot retracement zones, while the volume profile confirms strength or weakness in those areas.
Volume Delta with PVSRAVolume Delta with PVSRA
Volume Delta with PVSRA is an advanced volume indicator that dissects each bar’s volume into its directional components using higher resolution data. It visually distinguishes between buying and selling volume, so that for a bullish candle the bottom portion represents buying volume and for a bearish candle it represents selling volume. A dot is plotted at the 50% mark of the candle’s total volume, serving as a clear reference point.
Key Features:
Directional Volume Breakdown:
The indicator calculates the delta volume by analyzing lower timeframe data. The bottom portion of a bullish candle (displayed in green) represents buying volume, while that of a bearish candle (displayed in red) represents selling volume.
PVSRA Analysis:
Using Price-Volume Spread Range Analysis, the indicator compares the current volume to the 10-bar average. When volume is significantly higher (using thresholds of 150% and 200%), the candle borders are highlighted in custom colors, indicating medium or strong volume conditions.
Volume Moving Averages:
Three moving averages are plotted:
Total Volume MA (yellow): Tracks overall volume.
Buying Volume MA (green) and Selling Volume MA (red): These are re-centered around the total volume MA. A crossover of the green over the red typically signals rising buying pressure, while the opposite indicates increasing selling pressure.
Scalable Volume Bars:
The indicator scales the volume bars to provide optimal visualization on your chart.
Setup Instructions:
For best results, open your chart settings, navigate to the Canvas tab, and set the bottom margin to 0%. This ensures the indicator displays like a standard volume indicator without any unwanted gaps at the bottom.
Customize the various settings—including colors, border opacity, and moving average parameters—to suit your trading style.
