## Features
### Visual Range Display
- **Blue/Aqua Area**: Shows the price range of the highest volume bar within the lookback period
- **Dynamic Color**: The fill color changes to indicate whether the range is stable (aqua) or newly updated (white)
- **Boundary Lines**: Invisible white lines mark the upper and lower boundaries of the range
### Trading Signals
- **BUY Signal**: Blue upward arrow appears when price breaks above the resistance level with volume confirmation
- **SELL Signal**: Black downward arrow appears when price breaks below the support level with volume confirmation
## How to Use
### Setup
1. Apply the indicator to any chart
2. The indicator automatically identifies the highest volume bar in the last 55 periods
3. The price range of this high-volume bar becomes your support/resistance zone
### Trading Strategy
- **Range Trading**: Trade within the identified support/resistance range
- **Breakout Trading**: Enter positions when price breaks above resistance (BUY) or below support (SELL)
- **Volume Confirmation**: Only take signals when current volume exceeds the 21-period average
### Signal Interpretation
- **BUY Signal**: Price closes above the resistance level with above-average volume
- **SELL Signal**: Price closes below the support level with above-average volume
- **No Signal**: Price remains within the range or volume is insufficient
## Key Parameters

Features:
- Volumes exceeding the average value by more than one standard deviation are considered large and highlighted in red.
- Volumes lower than the average by more than one standard deviation are considered low and displayed in orange.
- Volumes within one standard deviation of the average are considered average and marked in gray.
- Users can adjust the period for calculating the average volume.
How to Use:
- Add the indicator to your chart.
- Adjust the period for calculating the average volume using the corresponding parameter.
- Observe how trading volumes on the chart are colored based on their magnitude relative to the average volume and standard deviation.
Example Usage:
On the chart, red volume histograms indicate periods of high trading activity, orange histograms signify low trading volume, and gray histograms represent average trading volume.
Remember:
The Volume Bars Color indicator helps visualize trading volumes and identify periods with the most active or least active trading volume. However, it should be used in conjunction with other tools and analytical methods to make informed trading decisions.

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.
High Volume BarsThis indicator highlights the highest volume bullish and bearish bars within a specified lookback period. It provides a visual representation of significant volume activity, which can be useful for identifying potential trend reversals or continuations.
Key Features:
Customizable lookback period to find highest volume bars
Lime-colored bars for bullish (up) volume
Fuchsia-colored bars for bearish (down) volume
Filled areas between high and low of highest volume bars
Easy-to-read visual cues for volume analysis
The indicator scans the specified number of previous bars to identify the highest volume bullish and bearish bars. It then colors these bars and draws filled areas to make them stand out on the chart. This can help traders quickly spot areas of significant buying or selling pressure.
Use this indicator to:
Identify potential support and resistance levels
Spot volume-based trend reversals
Confirm breakouts or breakdowns
Enhance your volume analysis in conjunction with price action
Adjust the lookback period to fine-tune the indicator's sensitivity to recent volume activity. A longer lookback period will identify more significant volume events, while a shorter period will be more responsive to recent changes.
Note: This indicator is best used in combination with other technical analysis tools and should not be relied upon solely for making trading decisions.
Realtime Volume Bars w Market Buy/Sell/Neutral split & Mkt Delta
What is it?
A tool that shows Real-time Volume bars split into 3 components: (1) Market Buy Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted on upticks; (2) Market Sell Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted on downticks;
and, (3) Neutral Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted without a change in price. (This feature can be turned off if you want normal volume bars).
Market delta (i.e., Market Buy Volume - Market Sell Volume) is also displayed above each volume bar. (On by default; can be switched off from Settings)
The split and Market Delta data are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REAL-TIME BARS. Historical bars are shown just like regular ones. The dotted line marks the start of real-time data (i.e., the bar from which the indicator started collecting and displaying data). You will see accurate data for bars to the right of this line. The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays, and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time any of the options is changed, the market is switched, the browser is refreshed, or the script is reloaded
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded, the previous symbol's data is lost. So if you intend to monitor a symbol, you would need to keep it loaded all the time.
Who is it for?
For traders who are used to analyzing buy/sell activity using market buy/sell volume and market delta information
Although you can use this independently as well, use it in conjunction with "Market Delta Volume for Realtime Bars" indicator to get a better visual representation of the numbers.
Colored Volume Bars [LazyBear]Edgar Kraut proposed this simple colored volume bars strategy for swing trading.
This is how the colors are determined:
- If today’s closing price and volume are greater than 'n' days ago, color today’s volume bar green.
- If today’s closing price is greater than 'n' days ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar blue.
- Similarly, if today’s closing price and volume is less than 'n' days ago, color today’s volume bar orange.
- If today’s closing price is less than 'n' days ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar red.
Buy the green or blue volume bars, use a 1% trailing stop, and stand aside on red or orange bars.
As you see, this is more for entry confirmation. I have not tested this on any instrument.
You may have to tune the lookback period for your instrument. Default is 10.

Slim Ribbon Volume BarsThe Slim Ribbon Volume Bars indicator is intended to be paired with the Slim Ribbon. The Slim Ribbon is also available for free in TradingView. The Slim Ribbon Volume Bars indicator changes the color of the volume bars based on the momentum condition of the Slim Ribbon. When the Ribbons have a bullish condition, the indicator colors the volume bars green. When the Ribbons have a bearish condition, the indicator colors the volume bars red. Finally, when the Ribbons have a neutral condition, the indicator colors the volume bars gray. See below for an overview of the Slim Ribbon.
The Slim Ribbon was developed by Steve Miller. Steve Miller is a 46-year veteran stock, futures and options trader. His badge on the trading floor was his initials, “SLM” and has since gone by the nickname Slim.
The Slim Ribbon is a momentum indicator . It is composed of 3 exponential moving averages (8, 13 and 21). A bullish condition occurs when the 8 period MA is above the 13 period MA and the 13 period MA is above the 21 period MA. A bearish condition occurs when the 8 period MA is below the 13 period MA and the 13 period MA is below the 21 period MA. A neutral condition occurs when the Ribbons are not in alignment.
The Slim Ribbon also notifies you when we transition from one condition to another. A green up arrow indicates that the Slim Ribbon has shifted from a neutral condition to a bullish condition. A red down arrow indicates that the Slim Ribbon has shifted from a neutral condition to a bearish condition. A blue up arrow indicates that we have shifted from a bearish condition to a neutral condition. Lastly, a blue down arrow indicates that we have shifted from a bullish condition to a neutral condition.
We would recommend using the Slim Ribbon on a candlestick chart. Steve Miller believes in the importance of visualizing trends. As a result, we have designed the Slim Ribbon to change the color of the candlesticks based on the condition of the ribbon. When the Slim Ribbon has a bullish condition, the candlesticks will turn green. When the Slim Ribbon has a bearish condition, the candlesticks will turn red. When the Slim Ribbon has a neutral condition, the candlesticks will turn gray.

FVE Volatility color-coded Volume bar The FVE is a pure volume indicator. Unlike most of the other indicators
(except OBV), price change doesn?t come into the equation for the FVE
(price is not multiplied by volume), but is only used to determine whether
money is flowing in or out of the stock. This is contrary to the current trend
in the design of modern money flow indicators. The author decided against a
price-volume indicator for the following reasons:
- A pure volume indicator has more power to contradict.
- The number of buyers or sellers (which is assessed by volume) will be the same,
regardless of the price fluctuation.
- Price-volume indicators tend to spike excessively at breakouts or breakdowns.
This study is an addition to FVE indicator. Indicator plots different-coloured volume
bars depending on volatility.
Equivolume Overlay - Volume BarsThis is an addon for displaying volume bars along with Equivolume bars which can be found here
Colored Volume Bars with Standard Deviation from the MeanI have updated the indicator to help visualize volume . The percentage scale is based on a 21 period look back average . The colored volume bars represent volumes that exceed specified standard deviation of this 21 period average as indicated in the figure. The deviation bands are based on a the 55sma of the 21 period average (brown line). A 8 period sma of the 21 moving average (red line) is also indicated.
Colored Volume Bars [LazyBear] with overlayDivs and candle alignment a little easier to see - volume/2 to size correctly - could still use some refining

C Volume BarsOk do not take this one as serious as I made it as a joke .Its a volume bar that give you such great results and you can call it with fancy names and even hide the code . as there is no signals no one will pay attention that its repaint . And folks can even pay you money for it as its look so good. I even give you the script to show you how generous I am :)
its even better then the fancy name one as it actually give you time frames to choose from.
but on the other hand who said that repainting is bad?
mine look better:)))
