Weis Wave Max█ Overview
Weis Wave Max is the result of my weis wave study.
David Weis said,
"Trading with the Weis Wave involves changes in behavior associated with springs, upthrusts, tests of breakouts/breakdowns, and effort vs reward. The most common setup is the low-volume pullback after a bullish/bearish change in behavior."
THE STOCK MARKET UPDATE (February 24, 2013)
I inspired from his sentences and made this script.
Its Main feature is to identify the largest wave in Weis wave and advantageous trading opportunities.
█ Features
This indicator includes several features related to the Weis Wave Method.
They help you analyze which is more bullish or bearish.
Highlight Max Wave Value (single direction)
Highlight Abnormal Max Wave Value (both directions)
Support and Resistance zone
Signals and Setups
█ Usage
Weis wave indicator displays cumulative volume for each wave.
Wave volume is effective when analyzing volume from VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) perspective.
The basic idea of Weis wave is large wave volume hint trend direction. This helps identify proper entry point.
This indicator highlights max wave volume and displays the signal and then proper Risk Reward Ratio entry frame.
I defined Change in Behavior as max wave volume (single direction).
Pullback is next wave that does not exceed the starting point of CiB wave (LH sell entry, HL buy entry).
Change in Behavior Signal ○ appears when pullback is determined.
Change in Behavior Setup (Entry frame) appears when condition of Min/Max Pullback is met and follow through wave breaks end point of CiB wave.
This indicator has many other features and they can also help a user identify potential levels of trade entry and which is more bullish or bearish.
In the screenshot below we can see wave volume zones as support and resistance levels. SOT and large wave volume /delta price (yellow colored wave text frame) hint stopping action.

VSA
Candle Spread
Candle Spread is an indicator that helps traders measure the range of price movement within each candle over a specified time period. It calculates the range of the candle between the High and Low (High - Low) and displays it in a separate window below the chart as columns.
Key Features:
Colored Bars: The bars are colored based on the candle's direction:
Bullish Candle: Bars are Green.
Bearish Candle: Bars are Red.
Moving Average: The indicator includes a 30-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), which represents the overall average range of the candles.
Helps Identify Market Volatility: This indicator helps traders identify wide-range candles (signaling high volatility in the market), which could indicate a surge in momentum or potential trend reversals.
Advanced Volume-Driven Breakout SignalsThe "Advanced Volume-Driven Breakout Signals" indicator is a cutting-edge tool designed to help traders identify high-potential trading opportunities through sophisticated volume analysis techniques. This indicator integrates volume flow analysis, moving averages, and Relative Volume (RVOL) to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions, going beyond traditional Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) methods.
Key Features:
Volume Flow Analysis: Distinguishes bullish and bearish volume flows with distinct colors, making it easier to visualize market sentiment and potential breakout points.
Volume Flow Moving Averages: Calculates moving averages for volume using various methods (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA), accommodating different trading strategies. This includes settings for adjusting the type of moving average and its period, as well as thresholds for high, medium, and low volume levels.
Volume Spikes Detection: Identifies significant volume spikes based on user-defined multipliers and moving averages, highlighting unusual trading activity.
Volume MA Cloud Settings: Computes general moving averages of volume to track trends and detect deviations. This feature includes options to select different moving average types and adjust thresholds for detecting high volume activity.
Relative Volume (RVOL): Measures current volume relative to historical averages, triggering signals when RVOL exceeds predefined thresholds, indicating notable changes in trading activity.
Entry Conditions: Provides clear long and short entry signals based on combined volume flow conditions and RVOL, offering actionable trading opportunities.
Volume Visualization:
— Bullish Volume Flow: Light and dark green bars indicate bullish volume flow.
— Bearish Volume Flow: Light and dark red bars denote bearish volume flow.
— High Volume Bars: Highlighted in yellow, and extreme volume bars in orange for additional context. These bars are plotted for visual aid and do not directly influence trade signals, focusing instead on the quality and strength of the volume flow.
Alerts: Allows users to create alert notifications for long and short entry signals when the criteria are met, enabling traders to respond promptly to trading opportunities.
Usage:
Overlay: Apply the indicator directly to your price chart to visualise real-time signals and volume conditions.
Customisable: Adjust settings for moving averages, RVOL, and other parameters to match your trading strategy and preferences.
Comparison to VSA Scripts: The "Advanced Volume-Driven Breakout Signals" indicator extends beyond traditional VSA scripts by incorporating a wider range of analytical features. While VSA primarily focuses on volume spread patterns and price action, this indicator offers enhanced functionality with advanced RVOL metrics, customizable moving averages, and detailed volume spike detection, making it a more versatile tool for identifying breakout opportunities and managing trades. It is particularly effective when used alongside key levels and order blocks.
Acknowledgements: Special thanks to @oh92 and @goofoffgoose for their invaluable scripts, which served as inspiration in the development of this advanced trading indicator.
Notes: The script is continually evolving, with ongoing refinements aimed at enhancing accuracy and performance.
Decoding the Volume of candlesThe indicator is designed for traders who are more interested in market structures and price action using volumes. Volume analysis can help traders build a clearer understanding of zones of buyer and seller interest, as well as liquidity gathering points (traders' stop levels).
Key Features:
The indicator visualizes on the chart the volumes selected according to the trader's chosen settings.
The indicator highlights candle volumes in selected colors, where the volume is greater individually than the volumes of the trader's chosen number of preceding candles. Or the volume that is greater than the sum of volumes of the trader's chosen number of preceding candles.
The indicator mark selected volumes on the chart based on the type of candle. The candle type (1, 2, or 3) is determined by its result (close) relative to other candles.
Volume marked for a type 3 candle draws the trader’s attention to the lack of results from the applied volume compared to the previous candle, indicating potential weakness of the candle’s owner. This is especially important in buyer or seller context areas.
Volume marked for a type 2 candle highlights the presence of results from the applied volume but only relative to the previous candle. In buyer or seller context areas, this can signal weakness of the candle’s owner.
Volume marked for a type 1 candle signals a strong result from the applied volume, indicating potential strength of the candle’s owner.
The marking of volumes can be displayed either on the main chart or on the volume chart, depending on the trader's preference. Colors and symbols for marking can be customized on the Style tab.
Volumes can be filtered on both the volume chart and the main chart according to their marking. This feature can be useful, for example, for traders who don’t work with signs of buyer or seller weakness. In such cases, they can filter out volumes only for type 1 candles.
Good luck exploring the impact of volumes on price behavior!
VPSA - Volume Price Spread AnalysisDear Analysts and Traders,
I am pleased to present the latest version of my indicator, based on the logic of analyzing spread and volume. In this version, the indicator examines spread and volume using min-max normalization. The statistical value is captured through Z-Score standardization, and I have added configurable alerts based on the normalized values of spread, volume, and the sigmas for these variables.
Theory and Evolution of the Indicator
The normalization function used in this program allows for the comparison of two values with different ranges on a single chart. The values that reach the highest within the examined range are assigned a value of one. As in previous versions, I have adopted a bar chart where the wider bar represents volume and the narrower bar represents spread. I believe that using normalization is the most intuitive approach, as the standardization in the earlier sVPSA version could cause confusion. This was due to smaller bars for higher actual values and negative bars, which required additional reliance on actual volume data and significant proficiency in using the indicator. These were limitations stemming from the computational aspect of these issues. As in the previously mentioned script, I also used Z-Score standardization here, which serves as a measure of deviation from the mean. This is visualized in the script as the color of the bars, which in the default configuration are as follows: below one sigma - blue; above one sigma up to two sigmas - green; above two sigmas up to three sigmas - red; and above three sigmas - fuchsia. Additionally, I applied an exponential moving average in this indicator to minimize the influence of older candles on the mean. The indicator has been enhanced with configurable alerts, allowing for substantial control over the conditions triggering them. The alerts enable the definition of normalized variable values and sigma values. Furthermore, the program allows for the definition of logical dependencies for these conditions.
Summary
The program I have developed is a synthesis of the most important and useful functions from the indicators I previously created. The indicator is a standalone and powerful tool that facilitates effective analysis of the spread-volume relationship, which is one of the fundamental methods of analysis according to the Wyckoff and VSA methodologies. The alerts introduced in this version provide extensive possibilities for controlling the dynamics of any market.
Should you encounter any errors or have suggestions regarding the indicator, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you successful analyses! All the best!

Auto Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) [TANHEF]Auto Volume Spread Analysis (visible volume and spread bars auto-scaled): Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
All the sections below contain the same descriptions as my other indicator "Volume Spread Analysis" with the exception of 'Auto Scaling'.
█ Auto-Scaling
This indicator auto-scales spread bars to match the visible volume bars, unlike the previous "Volume Spread Analysis " version which limited the number of visible spread bars to a fixed count. The auto-scaling feature allows for easier navigation through historical data, enabling both more historical spread bars to be viewed and more historical VSA pattern labels being displayed without requiring using the bar replay tool. Please note that this indicator’s auto-scaling feature recalculates the visible bars on the chart, causing the indicator to reload whenever the chart is moved.
Auto-scaled spread bars have two display options (set via 'Spread Bars Method' setting):
Lines: a bar lookback limit of 500 bars.
Polylines: no bar lookback limit as only plotted on visible bars on chart, which uses multiple polylines are used.
█ 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 spread bars that consist of color coded levels, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. 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:

█ Usage:
The Volume Spread Analysis indicator is a helpful tool for leveraging volume spread analysis to make informed trading decisions. It offers comprehensive visual and textual cues on the chart, making it easier to identify market conditions, potential reversals, and continuations. Whether analyzing historical data or forecasting future trends, this indicator provides insights into the underlying factors driving market movements.
Effort & Result (normalized)It is recommended to use a column display. This indicator measures the relationship between the body of the candlestick and the volume. Therefore, it measures the relationship between effort (volume) and result (price). It is still necessary to contextualize the price and not use the indicator without considering structure or relevant zones.
As we can see, this is an oscillator that ranges from 100 to -100 and helps visualize Volume Spread Analysis.
It can indicate three different types of relationships between candlesticks and volume:
1. Absorption : This is a significant discrepancy that shows that despite considerable effort in terms of volume, there has not been an adequate price result. High volume and little price movement. It can be detected when the indicator values are negative, and the closer to -100, the more pronounced the absorption. It indicates strong aggressive participation, but equally strong passive participation. It should be interpreted as an opposite signal; if the candlestick closes long with absorption, then it is likely that the bullish movement will not continue.
2. Absence of Resistance : This is a discrepancy that occurs when, despite low volumetric effort, there is a significant price movement. This is due to the absence of passive orders and is exactly the opposite of absorption. It is measured when the indicator value is positive. It means that a wide buy candlestick with low volume has not encountered resistance from passive sellers during its path, and vice versa for a sell candlestick. It should be interpreted as a "green light"; therefore, a buy candlestick that closes with a positive value in the indicator signals a likely price increase shortly thereafter.
3. Congruence : When the indicator value is close to 0, a situation of congruence occurs, where the result (price) is adequate to the effort (volumes). This indicates an efficient market with balanced participation from sellers and buyers, both passive and aggressive.
The pattern shown in the figure illustrates in the first line a sell candlestick with a very small body but a very high volumetric effort. Indeed, the corresponding column in the indicator shows negative values ("Absorption"). The second line shows how, after a few minutes, an "Absence of Resistance" situation occurs, this time for a buy candlestick that, despite low volumes, closed with a very wide body, in fact the indicator shows positive values. This specific pattern should be read as a long signal since sellers have been absorbed by passive buyers, and buyers have not encountered resistance from passive sellers. This indicates greater coordination and participation from both aggressive and passive buyers.

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.

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.

sVPSA - standardized Volume Price Spread AnalysisDear Analysts and Traders,
I want to introduce my new indicator - sVPSA - standardized Volume Price Spread Analysis. For me, this script is helpfully in Technical Analysis mainly with Wyckoff and VSA methodologies. Maybe You are in circle of people who used my previous script - normalized Volume Price Spread Analysis. I work with him a lot of time, but I come to a conclusion that I can do better...
Theory concept...
What is a big volume? How big was this spread? It was extreme high or just high? How to do an answer for this and a lot other questions related to this subject? My thoughts was directed to statistics. In my first script I used to x/max normalized data. It was good, but susceptible for high deviation events. So, I choose standardization method with smaller sensitivity on violent events - z-Score standardization Description of z-Score formula:
Z = (x-mean)/standard deviation
Probability of event are descriptive by probability density function - The Normal Distribution.
en.wikipedia.org
en.Wikipedia.org
This is base of script methodology, let’s go deeper in indicator.
X axis is time, date. Y axis is standard deviation. Narrow bar represent price spread, wide one is volume. Colors are corresponding to deviation, blue < sigma, green > sigma, red > 2*sigma and fuchsia > 3*sigma. Appearance is full editable.
Data collection starts from left to right. There is two possibilities to use, constans number of bars or visible data range, also indicator permit to overscore linear regression from data. There is a possibility to set an alert.
Short introduction how put an interpretation on visualized data.
For this example I used constans value of data collection, 52 bars. So, from left I see great, fuchsia volume bar with low spread. This record respond Celsius withdrawals pause. This is bar with the biggest volume on presented chart, more than four sigmas. Spread value is near one sigma. I should consider this via one of Wyckoffs laws - effort vs result. I see a three bars in turn, they tenor tells me that bear market is possible near end. Accumulation structure near new year, spring test and bullish momentum bar near march are approval of this idea. Next high spread bars have volume near mean value. Effort is low but result is great. Interesting is last bar, with -2,8 deviation of volume. I see the lowest volume value on chart, so he’s deviation is strong to negative side. This script require a little of practise and can be a potent tool in Technical Analysis.
If You have a concept how to improve my script or You experience bug, please, send me feedback.
I hope that You consider my work as useful.
I wish You great trades and faultless analysis.

RS for VPAThis is a supporting Indicator for the Volume Price Analysis Script VPA 5.0.
Purpose
To indicate the performance of the stock compared to an Index or any other selected stock. It also provides an idea about the strength of the Reference Index as well.
Description
The indicator is an unbound oscillator moving around a zero line. If the stock is strong then the values are positive and if it is weak the values are negative. If the stock is performing better (Stronger) than the Index the indicator is positive and colored green. If the stock is weaker than the Index it is negative and is colored Red.
The background indicates the strength of the Reference Index/Stock. Bullishness/up trend of the Index/Stock is indicated by yellow colour. Short term uptrend, Mid term uptrend and Long term trends are indicated by different shades of yellow varying from light to Dark. The bearishness / down trend is indicated by blue back ground.
How it Works
The relative strength is calculated by using the formula
RS = Gain of the stock / (Gain of the Ref. Index -1)
= (Stock Price today / Stock Price (N period ago)) /
(Index Price today / Index price (N period ago)) – 1
The Index strength is calculated as below
Short term trend up = 5 ema > 22 ema
Mid Term trend up = 22 ema > 60 ema
Long term trend up = 60 ema > 130 ema
Trend down = 5 ema < 22 ema
How to use
Use this indicator to assist your Price Action Analysis using VPA 5.0. When the Price action and volume indicates Bullishness, you can check if the relative strength is also supporting (Positive and in green Territory). This adds credibility to the Price action. Also check if the index is also positive (the Back ground is yellow). This makes the Price action even stronger. Ideally both the stock and index should be strong. Many time you would find the that the stock is in green territory but the index is in blue territory. This calls for some caution in evaluating the Price Action.
When the price action is positive but the relative strength is negative then one should be cautious and wait for the relative strength to turn positive before any entry decision.
Option for the Indicator
One can select the following from the setting for the indicator
1. Index or reference stock – Default is CNX 500
2. Relative Strength Calculation period – Default is 22
3. The EMA periods for the Index/Reference stock strength calculation
Candle volume analysis The indicator is designed for traders who are more interested in market structures and price action using volumes. Volume analysis can help traders build a clearer understanding of zones of buyer and seller interest, as well as places to capture liquidity (traders' stop levels).
Key Features:
The indicator highlights candle volumes in selected colors, where the volume is greater individually than the volumes of the trader's chosen number of preceding candles. Or the volume that is greater than the sum of volumes of the trader's chosen number of preceding candles.
Advanced VSA: Trend and Range LevelsThe indicator is designed for traders who are more interested in market structures and price action using volumes. Analyzing volumes, key market levels, market phases (trend or range/sideways), and multiple timeframes can help the trader build a clearer and more comprehensive view of the market. The data analysis algorithm is developed based on VSA methods, elements of the ICT concept, and the results of my research to assist trader in gaining a better understanding of the market and uncovering information that might go unnoticed.
The key idea is to consider multiple timeframes in trading. Understanding larger market movements from higher timeframes can provide a deeper context when making trading decisions, aiming to assist in more effective entries and exits. This is achieved by identifying the trend and its support levels on multiple timeframes, identifying ranges and their current boundaries, as well as buyer and seller interest zones.
Key Features
Trend Identification: The indicator determines the trend and its current support level. All significant price &movements occur in the form of impulses (either by sellers or buyers). An impulse consists of one or several consecutive candlesticks, at least one of which has a closing price beyond the boundaries of the previous impulse. The indicator displays the base of the impulse and/or the entire impulse. The base of the impulse represents the trend's support level.
Range Identification: The indicator can identify ranges and their current boundaries. Institutional traders take positions within price ranges, and many market reversals occur after flats. A range is a sequential price movement up and down within a specific price range. A range is formed by a minimum of 4 points, 2 above and 2 below, and is defined by its boundaries. The indicator detects ranges based on two (two consecutive impulses in one direction) or three impulses (the first and third in one direction, and the second in the opposite direction). The indicator displays the current boundary points of the range and the level of protection after exiting the range and initiating a trend.
Buyer and seller zones within impulses: After the impulse ends, a correction occurs. It is advisable to look for entry points during this correction in the direction of the impulse from the zone of interest of the owner of the impulse: the buyer's zone for a long impulse and the seller's zone for a short impulse. A zone consists of a series of consecutive candlesticks grouped on the chart in a specific manner.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Identification: The indicator also identifies the trend on two higher timeframes and displays the two latest bases of impulses from those higher timeframes on the chart.
Additional Features
Identification of Test Levels and Effort. A test is the price's return to a zone or to a candle of effort, followed by a continuation in the direction of the initial price movement. It is characterized by the test level. An effort or effort candle is a single candle that is individually larger in volume than the previous 2.
Example Use Cases
You can display the base levels of impulses from a 4-hour time frame and a daily time frame on a 15-minute chart to keep track of important levels from higher timeframes.
By exploring different timeframes, you can identify consolidations (range/sideways movements) and trade within them in the direction of the trend from higher timeframes.
If the market is in a trending phase (the presence of a trend is determined by two consecutive impulses in the same direction), look for trades in the direction of the impulse, following these priorities:
When the impulse base level is protected by the host of the impulse.
During corrections, look for buy trades in the buyer's zone for an uptrend and sell trades in the seller's zone for a downtrend.
During corrections, look for buy trades from a buyer's effort candle for an uptrend and sell trades from a seller's effort candle for a downtrend.
If the market is in a consolidation phase (range), look for trades:
When the current or maximum/minimum historical boundaries of the consolidation (range) are protected, look for trades towards the opposite current boundary.
If the price exits the consolidation/range (closes outside all consolidation boundaries, including both current and historical boundaries), then during corrections, look for trades in the direction of the exit.
Settings
Trend: Display base levels of impulses and/or the entire impulse. Sideways Ranges (Sideways Markets): Display the required number of sideways ranges on the chart, along with protection levels for exiting the sideways range. There are two modes for finding sideways ranges. The first mode requires touching points. The second mode (advanced) does not require precise touching of points if there are increased volumes at the extreme points of the sideways range. Touching these volumes is sufficient for the price.
Zones: Display zones on the chart. Choose the types of displayed zones and their colors. They are divided into three types. The first type is the most promising for finding trades. Type 3 represents more aggressive trades.
Test Levels: Display test levels for zones and efforts on the chart. There are three types of test levels. The first type is the most promising for finding trades. Type 3 is not recommended for finding trades as it represents the most aggressive trades.
Higher Time Frames: Choose 2 timeframes and the types of displayed impulse base lines.
Omega OscillatorThe Omega Oscillator is a toolkit designed to help both experienced and new traders with their trading decisions.
This indicator is a part of the omega toolkit, and his creation method is based on the concept that every trading strategy should have a way to determine the trend, or the bias, that answers the question “long or short?”; the location, which identifies the best price level to enter into a position and to exit, both in profit and in loss, and that will decide the final risk-to-reward ratio of the trade you take; the signal, which is useful to determine the best moment to enter into a position and that if paired with the trend point, his purpose is to identify when the large trend picture is in confluence with the small term; and last but not least the filter point, the filter is used to have another way to have an additional confluence with the trade you want to take, and it’s important to reduce the number of false signals and to increase the win rate.
This tool aims to help traders with the identification of the filter, to allow traders to judge their trades with other tools that can reduce false signals. It’s important to note that indicator and technical analysis is only one of the several different ways to analyze an asset.
One of the main things to keep in mind when working with the financial markets is that not every asset, every historical phase, and every market condition is the same, this is why this tool can be highly personalized and adjustable and provide different overlay tools in order to allow traders to choose the best settings considering these variables and your backtests.
The Oscillator can potentially work on any timeframe and any market thanks to these characteristics, and contains several different unique features:
- Optimization for the perception length parameter, used to analyze data.
- Optimization for the analysis length parameter, used to display data.
- Faculty to personalize the aesthetics of the indicators with the colors and the line width of the main line.
- 5 different tools to let the user choose the optimal way to filter out false signals and analyze the markets.
This script contains several different oscillators, each one precisely designed to remove false signals of different methods of trade.
The first one, called “Omega” is a combination of the best functionality of the other indicator. It contains the “Pendulum” advanced stochastic lines and overbought and oversold lines to analyze reversals, a long-term smoothed histogram to analyze the trend direction based on the “Pullback” formula, and the excess in the volume of the “Interest” oscillator.
The second one is called “Efficiency” and it aims to be the optimal tool to combine with the popular volume spread analysis. His purpose is to analyze the efficiency that the volume has to move the price and this means that when the oscillator is positive, either for the short term with the separated colored lines or the histograms that show the difference between the two lines in the middle-long term trend, this means that the volume has more strength compared to the opposite site volume. The usage of this indicator is to filter out bad signals in the area you are evaluating to take a trade. Be aware that using this oscillator at the beginning of open sessions can lead to false results.
The third one is called “Interest” and it does not include the price in his calculation, but only the volume. It has both the main line and the histogram that like other indicators display respectively the short and the medium-long-term trend. His usage, with the deviation bands automatically displayed, is to detect if there is more strength in the positive candle volume or in the negative candles, to use the volume strength analysis, it’s great to predict reversal and to analyze divergences.
The fourth one is called “Pendulum” and it displays an advanced formula of the popular stochastic oscillator that includes volume, with the oversold and overbought formula that if crossed origin the colored area that you see at the opposite levels, his usage is to determine potential reversal and trend direction, occasionally you can also use the cross of the two lines as a signal to enter a trade.
Additionally, this tool has a histogram that displays the true momentum of the asset you are trading.
The fifth and last one is the Pullback oscillator, and it contains several unique features. This tool will show you the price, displayed as standard candles, of the price. This oscillator can be used both for trend following and for mean reversal trading analysis. The middle area and the smoothed line that you can see aim to be potential support and resistance zones for the price. Note that the price on the moving average of the oscillator is based on volume pressure, and the color of the middle zone area is on the direction of the large trend.
This oscillator also has reversal zones that can help traders identify potential trend exhaustion and reversal price levels, that dynamically change based on the trend situation and adapt their width to the price volatility.

nVPSA - Normalized Volume-Price Spread AnalysisNormalized volume-price spread analysis indicator can be helpfully tool in Tom's William metodology - VSA.
The indicator use normalized data by y/x(max) operation, where x(max) is the biggest value in range. Indicator separate spread to four levels - standard divation is separator.
The indicator graphically shows:
- normalized volume, visualized by wide column,
- normalized price spread, visualized by narrow column,
- linear regression calculated from normalized volume, visualised by crosses,
- linear regression from normalized price spread, visualized by circles.
Columns are marked by five colors according to standard deviation:
- blue xsecond deviation, xfourth deviation,
- gold when volume or price spread achive new maximum in analysis range.
Linear regression uses three colors:
- green when volume/spread is up bar by bar,
- red when volume/spread is down bar by bar,
- black when volume/spread is down two times bar by bar.
Additionally, it is posible to use alarm on Golden Bar. Colors and range values are editable from indicator settings.

Open VsaVsa Trend is a tool that utilizes the principles of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) to identify potential trading opportunities. This tool highlights several principles such as PB, PBNC, PS, PSNC, TE, ND, Short Trend Tool, Trigger Lines, and Multiple Alignment of Trends.
These principles assist in identifying potential buy and sell opportunities based on the relative volume of bullish and bearish bars in different trend scenarios. The Short Trend Tool is used to compare the trend and closing price to determine the color of the trend. Trigger Lines are key support and resistance levels based on PB, PBNC, PS, and PSNC bars.
The Multiple Alignment of Trends feature allows users to select between different modes such as NO, Scalping, Day Trading, and Position Trading to help identify multiple trends across various timeframes.
The Confirmation Beginning Alert feature provides users with confirmation alerts based on various filters such as ND/TE, ND/TE & Short Trend, and ND/TE & Short Trend & Trend Alignment. Using this tool in combination with an AVWAP tool can enhance its effectiveness in identifying potential trading opportunities.

1-PB (Potential buy confirmed. In bearish trend, a bearish bar of high relative volume with the following bullish bar)
2-PBNC (Potential buy not confirmed. In bearish trend, a bearish bar of high relative volume with the following bearish bar)
3-PS (Potential sell confirmed. In an uptrend, a bullish bar of high relative volume with the next bearish bar)
4-PSNC (Potential unconfirmed sell. In an uptrend, a bullish bar of high volume relative to the next bullish bar)
5-TE (Test confirmed. In an uptrend, a bearish bar with lower volume than the previous 2 bars, with the next bullish on average volume)
6-ND (No Confirmed Demand. In a downtrend, a bullish bar with lower volume than the previous 2 bars, with the next bearish on average volume)
7-Short Trend Tool (It is an SMA that compares its trend and the closing price to define its color
8-Trigger Lines (They are the maximum and minimum values of a PB, PBNC, PS, or PSNC bar) The idea is to look for a TEST confirmation on or NO DEMAND under that area. The above areas are also important support and resistance levels, which is why they are charted.
9-The PS/PSNC/PB/PBNC principles are always graphed as it helps us to keep in mind a possible setup in VSA. You can choose if you want to receive alerts when a principle is presented.
10. Multiple Alignment of Trends (Allows you to select between 3 modes. NO/Scalping/Day Trading and Position Trading) According to this, the "Short Trend Tool" is taken in several timeframes and when it has alignment in its trend color, it will change from color the corresponding background.
11. Confirmation Beginning Alert: Allows you to decide if you want to receive TEST or NO DEMAND Confirmation alerts under 3 filters
-ND/TE: Only the beginning is required with no short-term trend
-ND/TE & Short Trend: In addition to the principle, it takes into account the Color of the current short-term trend.
-ND/TE & Short Trend & Trend Alignment: In addition to the above, the color of the multiple alignment is taken into account to trigger an alert.
-It work better if you use in combination with a Daily VWAP tool
ADX Volume Trend
Thie indicator is a modified and upgraded version of the popular ADX tool.
ADX is used to determine the strength of a trend, and also to determine the direction in which the trend is likely to go.
With this script, I have added in the formula the usage of volume, leading to the following functionality.
The length is used to determine the period to calculate the trend strength and direction, and the average is used to then determine the oscillator and to confront the previous line.
The volume average determines how many volumes bars the indicator should use to determine if a volume bar is above or below average if volume mode is selected.
With the volume mode on, you'll get the DI+ and DI- lines, which are by default displayed as a histogram that calculates the difference between the two lines, called "Directional difference", are calculated using also the volume in the formula, multiplying the normal output by the volume multiplier. I suggest using this mode in high-volume markets.
The trend strength difference is the area calculated using the difference between the ADX line and his moving average and can be used to analyze divergences in the swing points.
It has a lot of improvements and new functionalities, like:
- Histogram to show the output at best
- Averages to compare the data
- The option to include the volume inside of the formula
- Other options and esthetic changes
This indicator is created to improve the usability of the popular ADX indicator, including the very important variable of the volumes, in fact, it's the best to use for the Volume Spread Analysis.
Volume Spread Analysis IchimokuThis version of the popular Ichimoku indicator is modified to let the user choose between his classic mode and the volume-weighted mode.
Every line of the indicator is customizable with this function.
The Kijun and Tenkan lines are choosable from:
1. The normal version, so the average of the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume mode, so the average price of the selected input ponderated to the volume
The Senkau Span A is the average from the Kijun (fast line) and the Tenkan (slow line) lines and it's choosable from:
1. The normal price version
2. The volume mode
3. The average between points 1 and 2
4. The automatic average between the two fast lines that you've chosen
The Senkau Span B is the slowest line of the indicator, used to determine the long-term trend, and can be chosen from:
1. The normal average price between the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume average price, using the Volume Weighted Moving Average
The Trama Backline is the popular "LUX Algo" T.R.A.M.A. indicator, which I'm thankful for, and can be fantastically used to display the current trend strength and condition. This line is readable in the following way:
- If the line is moving sideways, the trend may be in a consolidation phase
- If the line is moving upwards or downwards, the trend may be in a trend phase
Volume Spread AnalyzerThis indicator is unseen on Tradingview and wants to be the number 1 indicator for the volume spread analysis. Its formula, as simple as useful, compares the effort (volume) of the candle with the results, or the price movement.
This way it's possible to apply the famous Volume Spread Analysis with a simple and complete indicator that's 100% objective.
This indicator can be used on almost any market, but it gives the best results on markets which has constant and high volume, like forex markets, for example.
There are 4 different modes that you can choose from, and all of the use different approaches and techniques to measure the same concept: the efficiency of the price compared to the effort of buyers and sellers:
1. The first one analyzes the formula for ONLY buy candles and ONLY for sell candles, and then plots the column oscillator to show the difference.
2. The second function shows the same formula but applied to any candle, and then confronts the two lines generated by the effort of the positive candle and the negative one as an area. You also have a single-step line on the chart that shows the real-time single-candle effort to result from efficiency.
3. Comparison between the single candle effort and the average efficiency, useful to filter out bad entry candles that could lead to a stop loss.
4. Absorbion analyzer: with this option, you can choose between the single candle and multi-candle mode.
4.1: Single candle mode display, as a pink circle on the oscillator, the candles that are more likely an absorption.
4.2: Multi-candle mode display the summation of the single candle value, to analyze the entire movement and identify the part of the trend that can be absorbed when compared to the other.
For almost any function o the indicator, the fast line input changes the fast line that you see on the chart (i suggest not increasing it above 3 for optimal results), and the slow line changes the moving average or the area that shows the difference between the other lines, you can set the slow line to 1 to have as a result the simple difference of the other lines, or you can set it to a higher value like 50 to show the middle or long term bias.
VSA ResistanceThis indicator shows a "resistance" encountered by the price in relation with volumes. If a bar is big, the price encountered much resistance to plot the bar, if it's small the price encountered low resistance.
This informations help taking better decisions based on VSA ( Volume Spread Analysis), making the spread between bar volume and bar extension clearer to read.
If you see some very large bars and all the others quite small try to use the "threshold" param, especially on lower timeframes. On indexes (nasdaq, dax , dow jones) I found that setting threshold to 5 is good for M1 too, but feel free to try other values to find the right one for you.
Feedbacks are more than welcomed!
Volume Density w/barcolorOpacity limit set to 70 min & barcolor overlay
The transparency of each candle is based on volume density.
Volume density is calculated as follows.
Volume density = Volume / Price range
Price range uses true range "max(high - low, abs(high - close), abs(low - close))".
Since volume density varies drastically by stock or time, the transparency is calculated based on the deviation rate from the average volume density.
3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy [Kintsugi Trading]What is the 3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy?
Incorporating the 3 Line Strike candlestick pattern into our strategy was inspired by Arty at The Moving Average and the amazing traders at TheTrdFloor .
The Three Line Strike is a trend continuation candlestick pattern consisting of four candles. Depending on their heights and collocation, a bullish or a bearish trend continuation can be predicted.
In a symphony of trend analysis, price action, and volume we can find and place high-probability trades with the 3LS Strategy.
How to use it!
----- First, start by choosing a Stop-Loss Strategy, Stop PIP Size, and Risk/Reward Ratio -----
- Stop-Loss Strategy
Fixed PIP Size – This uses the top/bottom of the indicator candle and places a TP based on the chosen Risk:Reward ratio.
ATR Trail (No set Target Profit, only uses ATR Stop)
ATR Trail-Stop (Has set Target Profit, however, stop is based on ATR inputs)
**If you choose an ATR Stop-Loss Strategy - input the desired ATR period and Multiple you would like the stop to be calculated at**
**ATR Stop-Loss Strategies have a unique alert setup for Auto-Trading. See Auto-Trading Section**
- Risk/Reward Ratio = If you have a .5 risk/reward, it means you are risking $100 to make $50.
- Additional Stop PIP Size = Number of PIPs over the default stop location of the top or bottom of the indicator candle.
----- Next, we set the Session Filter -----
Set the Timezone and Trade Session you desire. If no specific session is desired, simply set the Trade Session to 00:00 - 00:00.
----- Next, we set the Moving Average Cloud Fill -----
Enter the Fast and Slow Moving Average Length used to calculate trend direction:
MA Period Fast
MA Period Slow
These inputs will determine whether the strategy looks for Long or Short positions.
----- Next, we set the VSA – Volume Spread Analysis Settings -----
Check the box to show the indicator at the bottom of the chart if desired.
This is just a different visual output of the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis indicator available for free under the community indicators tab. You can add that indicator to your chart and see the same output in candle format.
In combination with the Moving Average Cloud, the Volume Spread Analysis will help us determine when to take a trade and in what direction.
The strategy is essentially looking for small reversals going against the overall trend and placing a trade once that reversal ends and the price moves back in the direction of the overall trend.
The 3LS Strategy utilizes confirmation between trend, volume, and price action to place high probability trades.
The VSA is completely customizable by:
Moving Average Length
MA-1 Multiplier
MA-2 Multiplier
MA-3 Multiplier
Check out the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis indicator in the community scripts section under the indicators tab to use this awesome resource on other strategies.
----- Next, we have the option to view the automated KT Bull/Bear Signals -----
Check the boxes to show the buy-sell signal on the chart if desired.
----- Next, we set the risk we want to use if Auto Trading the strategy -----
I always suggest using no more than 1-3% of your total account balance per trade. Remember, if you have multiple strategies triggering per day with each using 1%, the total percent at risk will be much larger.
For Example – if you have 10 strategies each risking 1% your total risk is 10% of your account, not 1%! Be mindful to only use 1-3% of your total account balance across all strategies, not just each individual one.
----- Finally, we backtest our ideas -----
After using the 'Strategy Tester' tab on TradingView to thoroughly backtest your predictions you are ready to take it to the next level - Automated Trading!
This was my whole reason for creating the script. If you work a full-time job, live in a time zone that is hard to trade, or just don't have the patience, this will be a game-changer for you as it was for me.
Auto-Trading
When it comes to auto-trading this strategy I have included two options in the script that utilize the alert messages generated by TradingView.
*Note: Please trade on a demo account until you feel comfortable enough to use real money, and then please stick to 1%-2% of your total account value in risk per trade.*
