Volume StrengthThe "Volume Strength" indicator
A technical analysis tool that helps traders evaluate the strength of the current market trend by measuring the cumulative volume over a specified period of time. It calculates the cumulative volume of a stock and divides it by the average cumulative volume over a specified period. This ratio is referred to as the "volume strength" and is plotted as a line on a chart. The indicator also provides overbought and oversold levels, which are horizontal lines on the chart that represent predetermined levels of overbought and oversold conditions.
The color of the volume strength line changes based on the current strength level. If the line is above the overbought level, it is colored red. If the line is below the oversold level, it is colored green. If the line is between the overbought and oversold levels, it is colored blue. The indicator also provides alerts for overbought and oversold conditions.
HOW TO USE:
1. Load the indicator onto the chart of the desired market. It works best in markets where volume data is available, such as stocks, futures, indices and cryptocurrencies. But you can also use it in the Forex market, where tick volume data will be used to calculate the indicator.
2. Adjust the length parameter to set the period for which the cumulative volume is calculated and the average cumulative volume is calculated.
3. Adjust the overbought and oversold levels as desired. These levels determine the horizontal lines that represent overbought and oversold conditions on the chart.
4. Observe the volume strength line and the overbought/oversold levels on the chart. If the volume strength line is red, the volume is considered overbought. If the line is green, the volume is considered oversold. If the line is blue, the volume is considered to be between the overbought and oversold levels. The indicator will provide alerts for overbought and oversold conditions. The indicator is an excellent tool for finding price-volume divergences.
SETTINGS:
Length: The period over which the cumulative volume is calculated and the average cumulative volume is calculated. The default is 14.
Overbought Level: The level at which the volume is considered overbought. The default is 1.2.
Oversold Level: The level at which the volume is considered oversold. The default is 0.8.

Volume GainThis indicator shows the amount, in terms of a percentage, that the volume is currently above or below the current volume average.
((Volume - volumeMA) / volume) * 100
Ways to use:
1) We could consider movements in price to be extremely strong when the volumeGain is above the upper limit line
i.e. the current volume is more than 50% higher than the current average volume
2) We could consider movements in price to be extremely weak when the volumeGain is below the lower limit line
i.e. the current volume is less than 50% lower than the current average volume

Volume Spike Alert & Overlay"Volume Spike Alert & Overlay" highlights unusually high trading volume on a chart. It calculates whether the current volume exceeds a user-defined percentage above the historical average and triggers an alert if it does. The information is also displayed in a customizable on-screen table.
What It Does
Monitors volume for each bar and compares it to an average over a user-defined lookback period.
Supports multiple smoothing methods (SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA) for calculating the average volume.
Triggers an alert when current volume exceeds the threshold percentage above the average.
Displays a table on the chart with:
Current Volume
Average Volume
Threshold Percentage
Optional empty row for spacing/formatting
How It Works
User Inputs:
lookbackPeriods: Number of bars used to calculate the average volume.
thresholdPercent: % above the average that triggers a volume spike alert.
smoothingType: Type of moving average used for volume calculation.
textColor, bgColor: Formatting for the display table.
tablePositionInput: Where the table appears on the chart (e.g., Bottom Right).
Toggles for showing/hiding parts of the table.
Volume Calculations:
Calculates current bar's volume.
Calculates average volume using the selected smoothing method.
Computes the threshold: avgVol * (1 + thresholdPercent / 100).
Compares current volume to threshold.
Table Display:
Dynamically creates a table with volume stats.
Adds rows based on user preferences.
Alerts:
alertcondition fires when currentVol crosses above the calculated threshold.
Message: "Volume Threshold Exceeded"
Usage Examples
Example 1: Spotting High Activity
Apply the script to a stock like AAPL on a 5-minute chart.
Set lookbackPeriods to 20 and thresholdPercent to 30.
Use EMA for more reactive volume tracking.
When volume spikes more than 30% above the 20-period EMA, an alert triggers.
Example 2: Day Trading Filter
For scalpers, apply it to a 1-minute crypto chart (e.g., BTC/USDT).
Set thresholdPercent to 50 to catch only strong surges.
Position the table at the top left and reduce visible info for a clean layout.
Example 3: Long-Term Context
On a daily chart, use SMA and set lookbackPeriods to 50.
Helps identify breakout moves supported by strong volume.
How this is different from Trading View's Volume indicator:
The standard volume plot from trading view allows users to set a alert when the average line is crossed, but it does not allow you to set a custom percentage at which to trigger an alert. This indicator will allow you to set any percentage you wish to monitor and above that percentage threshold will trigger your alert.

Volume essential parameters overlayVolume EPO – Essential Volume Parameters Overlay
1. Motivation and design philosophy
Volume EPO is designed as a conceptual overlay rather than a self contained trading system. The main idea behind this script is to take complex, foundational market concepts out of heavy, menu driven strategies and express them as lightweight, independent layers that sit on top of any chart or indicator.
In many TradingView scripts, a single strategy tries to handle everything at once: signal logic, risk settings, visual cues, multi timeframe controls, and conceptual explanations. This usually leads to long input menus, performance issues, and difficult maintenance. The architectural approach behind Volume EPO is the opposite: keep the core strategy lean, and move the explanation and measurement of key concepts into dedicated overlays.
In this framework, Volume EPO is the base layer for the concept of volume. It does not decide anything about entries or exits. Instead, it exposes and clarifies how different definitions of volume behave candle by candle. Other layers or strategies can then build on top of this understanding.
2. What Volume EPO does
Volume EPO focuses on four essential volume parameters for each bar:
- Buy volume - Sell volume - Total volume - Delta volume (the difference between buy and sell volume)
The script presents these parameters in a compact heads up display (HUD) table that can be positioned anywhere on the chart. It is designed to be visually minimal, language aware, and usable on top of any other indicator or price action without cluttering the view.
The indicator does not output signals, alerts, arrows, or strategy entries. It is a descriptive and educational tool that shows how volume is distributed, not a prescriptive tool that tells the trader what to do.
3. Two definitions of volume
A central theme of this script is that there is more than one way to define and interpret “volume” inside a single candle. Volume EPO implements and clearly separates two different approaches:
- A geometric, candle based approximation that uses only OHLC and volume of the current bar. - An intrabar, data driven definition that uses lower timeframe up and down volume when it is available.
The user can switch between these modes via the calculation method input. The mode is prominently shown inside the on chart table so that the context is always explicit.
3.1 Geometry mode (Source File, approximate)
In Geometry mode, Volume EPO works only with the current bar’s OHLC values and total volume. No lower timeframe data is required.
The candle’s range is defined as high minus low. If the range is positive, the position of the close inside that range is used as a simple model for how volume might have been distributed between buyers and sellers:
- The closer the close is to the high, the more of the total volume is attributed to the buying side. - The closer the close is to the low, the more of the total volume is attributed to the selling side. - In a rare case where the bar has no price range (for example a flat or doji bar), total volume is split evenly between buy and sell volume.
From this model, the script derives:
- Buy volume (approximated) - Sell volume (approximated) - Total volume (as reported by the bar) - Delta volume as the difference between buy and sell volume
This approach is intentionally labeled as “Geometry (Approx)” in the HUD. It is a theoretical reconstruction based solely on the candle’s geometry and total volume, and it is always available on any market or timeframe that provides OHLCV data.
3.2 Intrabar mode (Precise)
In Intrabar mode, Volume EPO uses the TradingView built in library for up and down volume on a user selected lower timeframe. Instead of inferring volume from the shape of the candle, it reads the underlying lower timeframe data when that data is accessible.
The script requests up and down volume from a lower timeframe such as 15 seconds, using the official TA library functions. The results are then interpreted as follows:
- Buy volume is taken as the absolute value of the up volume. - Sell volume is taken as the absolute value of the down volume. - Total volume is the sum of buy and sell volume. - Delta volume is provided directly by the library as the difference between up and down volume.
If valid lower timeframe data exists for a bar, the bar is counted as covered by Intrabar data. If not, that bar is marked as invalid for this precise calculation and is excluded from the covered count.
This mode is labeled “Precise” in the HUD, together with the selected lower timeframe, because it is anchored in actual intrabar data rather than in a geometric model. It provides a closer view of how buying and selling pressure unfolded inside the bar, at the cost of requiring more data and being dependent on the availability of that data.
4. Coverage, lookback, and what the numbers mean
The top part of the HUD reports not only which volume definition is active, but also an additional line that describes the effective coverage of the data.
In Intrabar (Precise) mode, the script displays:
- “Scanned: N Bars”
Here, N counts how many bars since the indicator was loaded have successfully received valid lower timeframe delta data. It is a measure of how much of the visible history has been truly covered by intrabar information, not a lookback window in the sense of a rolling calculation.
In Geometry mode, the script displays:
- “Lookback: L Bars”
In this extracted layer, the lookback value L is purely descriptive. It does not change how the current bar’s volume is computed, and it is not used in any iterative or statistical calculation inside this script. It is meant as a conceptual label, for example to keep the volume layer consistent with a broader framework where lookback length is a structural parameter.
Summarizing these two fields:
- Scanned tells you how many bars have been processed using real intrabar data. - Lookback is a descriptive parameter in Geometry mode in this specific overlay, not a direct driver of the computations.
5. The HUD layout on the chart
The on chart table is intentionally compact and structured to be read quickly:
- Header: a title identifying the overlay as Volume EPO. - Mode line: explicitly states whether the script is in Precise or Geometry mode, and for Precise mode also shows the lower timeframe used. - Coverage line: - In Precise mode, it shows “Scanned: N Bars”. - In Geometry mode, it shows “Lookback: L Bars”. - Volume block: - A line for buy and sell volume, marked with clear directional symbols. - A line for total volume and the absolute delta, accompanied by the sign of the delta. - Numeric formatting uses human friendly suffixes (for example K, M, B) to keep the display readable. - Footer: the current symbol and a time stamp, adjusted by a user selectable timezone offset so that the HUD can be aligned with the trader’s local time reference.
The table can be positioned anywhere on the chart and resized via inputs, and it supports multiple color themes and languages in order to integrate cleanly into different chart layouts.
6. How to use Volume EPO in practice
Volume EPO is meant to be read together with price action and other tools, not in isolation. Typical uses include:
- Studying how often a strong directional candle is actually supported by dominant buy or sell volume. - Comparing the behavior of delta volume between Geometry and Intrabar definitions. - Building a personal intuition for how intrabar data refines or contradicts the simple candle based approximation. - Feeding these insights into separate, lean strategy scripts that do not need to carry the full explanatory logic of volume inside them.
Because it is an overlay layer, Volume EPO can be stacked with other custom indicators without adding new signals or complexity to their logic. It simply adds a clear and consistent view of volume behavior on top of whatever the trader is already watching.
7. Educational and non signalling nature
Finally, it is important to stress that Volume EPO is not a trading system, not a signal generator, and not financial advice. The script does not tell the user when to enter or exit. It only reports how different definitions of volume describe the current bar.
Deciding whether to trade, how to trade, and which risk parameters to use remains entirely with the user and with their own strategy. Volume EPO provides context and clarity around the concept of volume so that those decisions can be informed by a better understanding of how buying and selling pressure is structured inside each candle.
Note: Even on lower timeframes, every reconstruction of volume remains an approximation, except at the true single tick level. However, the closer the chosen lower timeframe is to a one tick stream, the more accurately it can reflect the underlying order flow and balance between buying and selling pressure.
Volumetric Compressed MAVCMA (Volumetric Compressed Moving Average) uses the compressor and weighted standard deviation functions originally translated to pinescript by @gorx1 to plot moving averages in order to use for entry confirmation.
🔹 Concepts and Idea:
When we do music we always use different kinds of filters (low-pass, high pass, etc) for equalization and filtering itself. That stuff we use in finance as well. What we also always use in music are compressors, there dynamic processors that automatically adjust volume so it will be more consistent. Almost all the cool music you hear is compressed (both individual instruments (especially vocals) and the whole track afterwards), otherwise stuff will be too quite and too weak to flex on it, and also DJing it would be a nightmare.
🔹 Model:
I don't wanna explain it all in statistical / DSP way for once.
First of all, I think the population of volumes is log-normally distributed, so let's take logs of volumes, now we have a ~ normally distributed data. We take linearly weighted mean, add and subtract linearly weighted standard deviation from it, these would be our thresholds, the borders between different kinds of volumes explained before.
The upper threshold is for downward compression, that will not let volume pass it higher.
The lower threshold is for upward compression, all the volumes lower than this threshold will be brought up to the threshold's level.
Then we apply multipliers to the thresholds in order to adjust em and find the sweet spots. We do it the same way as in sound engineering when we don't aim for overcompression, we adjust the thresholds until they start to touch the signal and all good.
Afterwards, we delete all the number 1 and number 3 volume, leaving us exclusively with the clear main component, ready to be processed further.
We return the volumes to dem real scale.
For more info on Volume Compression it's highly advised to check @gorx1's initial script Volume Compressor
🔹 Settings:
MA Type: Moving average type to be used for comparison after calculating the compressed version of volume. This creates the second line after the compression line, so we can consider crossovers for confirmation entries.
Upward threshold: Upward threshold where the compression of volume is calculated. Increasing usually causes smoother lines.
Downward threshold: Downward threshold where the compression of volume is calculated. Decreasing usually causes smoother lines.
Compression Lookback: The Main lookback window of a volume that is used for compression. Increasing this would provide smoother lines but might cause delayed signals. Decreasing means more signals, but might cause whiplash and distorted signals.
Comparative Lookback: This is our lookback to be used with our ma type selection. There is no static better or worse lookback value for this indicator. It should be adjusted based on the pair.
🔹 Where to use:
This indicator should be used as another confirmation tool for your entry signals in your existing strategy/market following combination. Green dots (crossovers) mean bullish movement is expected, and red dots (crossbounders) mean bearish movement is expected. Automated crossover alerts are available. A reminder is that this kind of indicator should not be used on its own for trading, but rather should be used as a confirmation along with your trend detection and main entry indicators to provide additional confidence.
If you want to know under the hood, read the How it works section below.
🔹 How it works:
//This is our main compression calculation, which is used for the first line.
Compressed_out = compressor(volume, len_window, up_thresh, down_thresh)
//This is the secondary ratio calculation that we use for the second line.
Comp_ma = ma(ma_type, close * compressed_out, len_ml) / ma(ma_type, compressed_out, len_ml)
Vwma = ma(ma_type, close, len_window)
We calculate the ratio of the compressed volume and plot it against the base MA. Base MA's length is determined by the Compression Lookback input compared to the Comperative Lookback that is used for the compressed version. This provides us with another possible confirmation indicator that can be used to take advantage of volume ranges.

Volumetric Spectrogram [by Oberlunar]Volumetric Spectrogram
A two-pole, price-relative volume profiler that turns regional buy/sell pressure into clean oscillators and actionable regimes in a multi-broker setup.
What it measures
The indicator divides the recent price span into bins and accumulates buy vs. sell volume in each bin, then summarises two regions with respect to the current price:
Upper (↑) — volume that traded above the current price (overhead supply/demand).
Lower (↓) — volume that traded below the current price (underfoot bid/pressure).
Per region, it computes BUY% and SELL%, then forms two normalised oscillators in :
Upper Osc = Upper(BUY%) − Upper(SELL%) → positive when overhead offers are being lifted (breakout acceptance), negative when overhead sell pressure dominates (resistance).
Lower Osc = Lower(BUY%) − Lower(SELL%) → positive when sub-price bids strengthen (support/absorption), negative when selling persists beneath price (weak underbelly).
Both oscillators are optionally smoothed with EMA and can be filled to zero or between curves for quick polarity/strength reading.
Candle-fill modes across brokers
The indicator supports multiple candle-fill policies tied to cross-broker volumetric agreement (e.g., spectral/range-only fills when ≥N brokers align above 70% bullish or below 20% bearish Buy%). This makes regime and pressure shifts visually explicit while filtering out unconfirmed noise.
How it works (core algorithm)
Over a lookback window, find the high/low and split the range into N bins .
For each historical bar, approximate “buy” vs “sell” volume using candle direction and the close relative to each bin’s midprice; update left/right profiles per bin.
Aggregate bins above the current price into the Upper region and bins below into the Lower region; compute regional totals and percentages.
Convert to signed oscillators and smooth (EMA length per input).
Scenario engine (table, every bar)
A compact table reports, for Upper/Lower: BUY Vol, SELL Vol, BUY%, SELL%, and Net%. A classifier labels 8 regimes based on oscillator sign and recent expansion/decay: Sync Long/Short (Expanding/Decaying), Opposite Signs (Widening/Converging), and Tilts (Upper/Lower). This helps distinguish trend continuation, fade risk, compression before break, and asymmetric pressure (e.g., “Tilt Lower — bid/support strengthening”).
# Example strategies and annotated cases:
There are different operational strategies:
1) Bottle-neck Strategy with multi-broker confirmation
When both oscillators are red and they compress toward the zero line (a bottle-neck [/i>), if the squeeze does not flip into the opposite trend but instead resolves in the same direction, you have a continuation setup that can be exploited:
• Pattern: both oscillators red → short, visible contraction (narrow, low-variance cluster) → break of the cluster lows → background shadow bars align bearish (multi-broker agreement).
Example:
This sequence often supports a 1.5–2.5 R/R trade, as in:
Bullish mirror
If both oscillators are teal and compress, then expand upward with multi-broker agreement, the scenario becomes bullish after several bars; the position can be profitable with a reasonable risk setup:
Example:
Follow-through:
Here are the additional, English “playbook” examples you can append to the previous description.
2) Dual-confirmation on volume spikes + multi-broker checks
When pronounced volumetric spikes appear (up or down), trend often reverses sharply. In the figure, the circles highlight the spikes; once the spike subsides (reversion toward baseline), the oscillator turns bullish. The double confirmation of two consecutive minimum spikes acts as support for an ensuing up-move, with fill colors confirming direction.
Chart:
Even with a single spike confirmation, the reversion from an extreme often provides actionable long setups.
3) Volume-pressure + regime-change (multi-broker)
A prospective long configuration emerges when bullish volumetric pressure dominates and bearish pressure fades, especially if this occurs after a lateral phase, followed by a bullish volume spike and multi-broker confirmation .
Chart:
Shadow bars subsequently confirm continuation in a bullish regime; however, a possible regime change is flagged by the scenario classifier and by a color flip in the volumetric borders ( “Possible regime change, but without multi-broker confirmation.” is an appropriate label when applicable).
Chart:
After a verified mean-reversion, price transitions into a bearish configuration: both oscillators turn red. One can wait for a pullback and seek short entries.
Chart:
As shown here, the regime change is anticipated well in advance by the oscillators and multi-broker pressure:
Chart:
4) Contrastive regime-shift with multi-broker validation
In a contrastive trading phase, the lower volumetric oscillator flips color first—buyers start attacking. The first set of background shadow bars does not agree with the regime flip; the second set does. This sequence (oscillator flip → later multi-broker agreement) is a robust early sign of a potential long setup.
Chart:
At the multi-broker level, all shadow bars turn fully green and the setup becomes unambiguously bullish.
Chart:
Note that bearish pressure can still be non-trivial on the volumetric scale—even if it does not reach prior extreme minima—so risk controls should reflect the residual supply.
Delta-bar coloring (optional)
Bars (or candle overlays) can be tinted by a multi-venue weighted bias:
Choose venues (OKX, Coinbase, Bybit, Binance, BlackBull…).
Weight by Equal / Last Volume / SMA Volume.
Apply deadband to suppress flicker around neutrality and a gamma curve to modulate opacity with |bias|.
This layer is independent of the spectrogram core but provides immediate market-wide flow context, consistent with the table and fills.
Inputs (essentials)
Calculation Period and Bins — resolution and depth of the price-range histogram.
EMA length — smoothing per oscillator (optional)
Fill options — to zero / between curves, gradual opacity by |osc|, min/max alpha.
Delta Bar — enable tinting, gamma, neutral band; venue list and weighting mode.
Reading guide
Upper > 0 & expanding : overhead supply is being lifted → breakout acceptance risk rises.
Lower > 0 & expanding : sub-price bids strengthen → pullbacks more likely to absorb.
Opposite signs widening : tug-of-war; avoid late entries.
Converging : compression → prepare for break.
Use the table’s regime label to keep the narrative honest bar-by-bar.
Notes & limits
Buy/Sell attribution uses candle direction and range partitioning (no L2/tick tape).
Venue aggregation relies on per-exchange volume and your chosen weighting; symbols must align (e.g., BTCUSDT pairs).
Oscillators are relative to the current price (regional) by design; they complement, not replace, classical volume profile.

- Break Low Level: An alarm is triggered when the price crosses below the low volume level.
ALGORITHM
The indicator calculates the highest and lowest prices within the specified number of past bars and divides the price range into segments. It then allocates the volume within each segment, distinguishing between buying and selling volumes. The key volume levels (Point of Control, High Volume Node, and Low Volume Node) are identified and highlighted on the chart.
Example
In the example below, the histogram is displayed on the left side, showing higher buying volumes in green and selling volumes in red. The key volume levels are marked with horizontal lines and labels, providing clear visual cues for significant support and resistance zones.
BENEFITS
- Enhanced Market Insight: Provides a detailed view of volume distribution, highlighting key trading levels.
- Customizable Visualization: Flexible settings allow traders to customize the indicator to their needs.
- Alert Mechanism: Automated alarms keep traders informed of significant market movements in real-time.

Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap [LuxAlgo]The Volume Bubbles & Liquidity Heatmap indicator highlights volume and liquidity clearly and precisely with its volume bubbles and liquidity heat map, allowing to identify key price areas.
Customize the bubbles with different time frames and different display modes: total volume, buy and sell volume, or delta volume.
🔶 USAGE
The primary objective of this tool is to offer traders a straightforward method for analyzing volume on any selected timeframe.
By default, the tool displays buy and sell volume bubbles for the daily timeframe over the last 2,000 bars. Traders should be aware of the difference between the timeframe of the chart and that of the bubbles.
The tool also displays a liquidity heat map to help traders identify price areas where liquidity accumulates or is lacking.
🔹 Volume Bubbles
The bubbles have three possible display modes:
Total Volume: Displays the total volume of trades per bubble.
Buy & Sell Volume: Each bubble is divided into buy and sell volume.
Delta Volume: Displays the difference between buy and sell volume.
Each bubble represents the trading volume for a given period. By default, the timeframe for each bubble is set to daily, meaning each bubble represents the trading volume for each day.
The size of each bubble is proportional to the volume traded; a larger bubble indicates greater volume, while a smaller bubble indicates lower volume.
The color of each bubble indicates the dominant volume: green for buy volume and red for sell volume.
One of the tool's main goals is to facilitate simple, clear, multi-timeframe volume analysis.
The previous chart shows Delta Volume bubbles with various chart and bubble timeframe configurations.
To correctly visualize the bubbles, traders must ensure there is a sufficient number of bars per bubble. This is achieved by using a lower chart timeframe and a higher bubble timeframe.
As can be seen in the image above, the greater the difference between the chart and bubble timeframes, the better the visualization.
🔹 Liquidity Heatmap
The other main element of the tool is the liquidity heatmap. By default, it divides the chart into 25 different price areas and displays the accumulated trading volume on each.
The image above shows a 4-hour BTC chart displaying only the liquidity heatmap. Traders should be aware of these key price areas and observe how the price behaves in them, looking for possible opportunities to engage with the market.
The main parameters for controlling the heatmap on the settings panel are Rows and Cell Minimum Size. Rows modifies the number of horizontal price areas displayed, while Cell Minimum Size modifies the minimum size of each liquidity cell in each row.
As can be seen in the above BTC hourly chart, the cell size is 24 at the top and 168 at the bottom. The cells are smaller on top and bigger on the bottom.
The color of each cell reflects the liquidity size with a gradient; this reflects the total volume traded within each cell. The default colors are:
Red: larger liquidity
Yellow: medium liquidity
Blue: lower liquidity
🔹 Using Both Tools Together
This indicator provides the means to identify directional bias and market timing.
The main idea is that if buyers are strong, prices are likely to increase, and if sellers are strong, prices are likely to decrease. This gives us a directional bias for opening long or short positions. Then, we combine our directional bias with price rejection or acceptance of key liquidity levels to determine the timing of opening or closing our positions.
Now, let's review some charts.
This first chart is BTC 1H with Delta Weekly Bubbles. Delta Bubbles measure the difference between buy and sell volume, so we can easily see which group is dominant (buyers or sellers) and how strong they are in any given week. This, along with the key price areas displayed by the Liquidity Heatmap, can help us navigate the markets.
We divided market behavior into seven groups, and each group has several bubbles, numbered from 1 to 17.
Bubbles 1, 2, and 3: After strong buyers market consolidates with positive delta, prices move up next week.
Bubbles 3, 4, and 5: Strength changes from buyers to sellers. Next week, prices go down.
Bubbles 6 and 7: The market trades at higher prices, but with negative delta. Next week, prices go down.
Bubbles 7, 8, and 9: Strength changes from sellers to buyers. Next weeks (9 and 10), prices go up.
Bubbles 10, 11, and 12: After strong buyers prices trade higher with a negative delta. Next weeks (12 and 13) prices go down.
Bubbles 12, 14, and 15: Strength changes from sellers to buyers; next week, prices increase.
Bubbles 15 and 16: The market trades higher with a very small positive delta; next week, prices go down.
Current bubble/week 17 is not yet finished. Right now, it is trading lower, but with a smaller negative delta than last week. This may signal that sellers are losing strength and that a potential reversal will follow, with prices trading higher.
This is the same BTC 1H chart, but with price rejections from key liquidity areas acting as strong price barriers.
When prices reach a key area with strong liquidity and are rejected, it signals a good time to take action.
By observing price behavior at certain key price levels, we can improve our timing for entering or exiting the markets.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Bubbles Display
From the settings panel, traders can configure the bubbles with four main parameters: Mode, Timeframe, Size%, and Shape.
The image above shows five-minute BTC charts with execution over the last 3,500 bars, different display modes, a daily timeframe, 100% size, and shape one.
The Size % parameter controls the overall size of the bubbles, while the Shape parameter controls their vertical growth.
Since the chart has two scales, one for time and one for price, traders can use the Shape parameter to make the bubbles round.
The chart above shows the same bubbles with different size and shape parameters.
You can also customize data labels and timeframe separators from the settings panel.

Volume Pressure Analysis - Live DataVolume Pressure Gauge and Volume Percentage Indicator – Pine Script Guide
This indicator provides a simplified, real-time visualization of both volume pressure (buy vs. sell activity) and today’s trading volume in comparison to historical averages. It is designed to help traders assess whether buyers or sellers dominate the current session and whether today’s volume is significant relative to recent behaviour.
________________________________________
Key Functional Segments
1. Inputs and Configuration
Users can configure the length of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) used to calculate average volume, set the position of the gauge table on the chart, and toggle the visibility of the volume pressure display. This allows flexibility in integrating the tool with various trading styles and chart layouts.
2. Volume Data Calculations
The indicator calculates three key volume metrics:
• volToday: The current day’s volume.
• volAvg: The average volume over the user-defined SMA period (default is 20 bars).
• volPct: The current volume as a percentage of the average.
This enables traders to quickly recognize whether current trading activity is above or below normal, which can be a precursor to potential trend strength or weakness.
3. Volume Pressure Calculation
The script estimates buying and selling pressure based on price movement and volume. It distributes volume into upward (buy) and downward (sell) segments and expresses them as percentages of the total volume. This gives an immediate sense of whether bulls or bears are more active in the current session.
4. Visual Representation (Progress Bars)
The indicator renders a simplified visual gauge using horizontal bar segments (pseudo-bars) to reflect the proportion of buy and sell pressure. The length of each bar correlates with the strength of pressure from buyers or sellers, helping users assess dominance without analyzing candlestick behavior in depth.
5. Table Display
A compact table is drawn on the chart showing:
• Buy pressure percentage and corresponding bar.
• Sell pressure percentage and corresponding bar.
• Volume percentage compared to the recent average.
This format makes it easy to evaluate volume dynamics at a glance, without cluttering the price chart or relying on separate overlays.
________________________________________
How Traders Benefit from This Indicator
• Momentum Shift Detection: Early signs of trend reversal can be observed when volume pressure flips direction.
• Breakout Validation: High volume combined with dominant pressure supports the credibility of breakout moves.
• False Move Avoidance: If price moves on low volume or mixed pressure, traders can avoid low-probability entries.
• Market Context Awareness: Users can assess whether a day is behaving normally in terms of participation or is unusually quiet or aggressive.
________________________________________
Basic Usage Guide
1. Add the script to your TradingView chart and set your preferred SMA length for volume comparison.
2. Customize the table’s position using the X and Y settings for clarity and alignment.
3. Interpret the outputs:
o A higher red bar indicates dominant sell pressure.
o A higher green bar indicates dominant buy pressure.
o Volume % above 100% suggests above-average activity, while values below 100% may imply low conviction.
4. Apply to trading decisions:
o High buy pressure and high volume may indicate a strong long opportunity.
o High sell pressure and high volume may support short setups.
o Low volume or conflicting signals may call for caution.
5. Combine with other tools such as trend indicators, support/resistance zones, or price action patterns for more reliable trade setups.
________________________________________
Practical Example
• Sell Pressure: 70% → Suggests strong seller control; potential for short setups.
• Buy Pressure: 30% → Weak buying interest; long trades may carry risk.
• Volume Percentage: 120% → Indicates a surge in participation; movement may have greater validity.
________________________________________
Tips for New Traders
• Use this indicator as a confirmation tool rather than a standalone strategy.
• Begin on higher timeframes (4-hour or daily) to develop familiarity.
• Compare multiple examples to identify reliable patterns over time.
• Always incorporate proper risk management, including stop losses.

⚖ Volume BUYxSELL Pressure | by Octopu$⚖ Volume BUYxSELL Pressure | by Octopu$
Volume is the number of shares traded in a particular stock, index, or other investment over a specific period of time.
It can indicate market strength, as rising markets on increasing volume are typically viewed as strong and healthy.
In fact, the more, the better. Institutions tend to get more involved in a stock with daily dollar volume in the hundreds of millions or more
But also, when prices fall on increasing volume, the trend is gathering strength to the downside.
That's where BUYxSELL Pressure | by Octopu$ comes in.
Typically, Volume bars follow the candles.
If the Candle is Green (Close > Open), the Volume Bar is also Green.
Now if the Candle is Red (Close < Open) the Volume Bar is also Red.
You never know if it is being Bought or Sold.
This changes the game: along with Price Action, Trend Direction, and other factors. This is possible!
This indicator is composed of:
Volume itself (all of it), displayed by Gray bars;
Identifies Buying Pressure on Green Bars;
And Selling Pressure with Red Bars.
Volume Average as a White Line, for the last "X" Days
Additionally,
It presents a Yellow Triangle as and indication of when the Volume is above the Average in the current TF you are in.
Additionally, this can be set up via an Input: Means if you like to watch it 10% above Average, you got it. 25%? 50%?... You name it.
On top of that,
Includes an indication for Volume Spike as well. So if informs you visually on the Volume Bars of any surges on the TF you are in.
For example: 2x the Volume from the last Candle. Or maybe 3x? 5x... The way you like it the best.
This way, with the combination of your understanding as well as other Indicator and Factor as Confluence, you can improve your analysis and figure out what is going on.

Volume Demand & Supply IndicatorTitle: VDS - Volume Demand & Supply Indicator
Description:
The VDS (Volume Demand & Supply) Indicator is a powerful analysis tool designed for traders who rely on understanding volume to make informed decisions. Unlike traditional volume indicators, VDS goes beyond just showing total volume by separating it into Up Volume and Down Volume, giving you a clear view of the buying and selling pressure in the market.
Key Features:
Precise Volume Analysis: The indicator scans data from lower timeframes to more accurately approximate up and down volume, providing you with detailed insights into market dynamics.
Identify Buying vs. Selling Pressure:
Up Volume: Represents the volume traded when the price rises, indicating dominant buying power.
Down Volume: Represents the volume traded when the price falls, indicating significant selling pressure.
Volume Moving Average (MA): A volume moving average is included to help you easily identify normal versus abnormal market activity, which is crucial for spotting strong trends and breakouts.
Delta Signal: The small "Delta" character indicates the difference between up volume and down volume. A green delta suggests buying dominance (demand), while a red delta points to selling dominance (supply).
Customizable: You have the ability to customize the lower timeframe used for analysis, allowing you to tailor the indicator to your specific trading strategy and style.
How to Trade with the VDS Indicator?
The VDS indicator isn't just a data visualization tool; it's a practical guide that can be used to confirm or deny trading signals. Here are a few suggested strategies:
Confirming Breakouts:
When the price breaks above a key resistance level, look for a significant increase in Up Volume. This confirms the breakout is genuine and supported by strong buying power.
A breakout with weak volume might be a "fakeout" and should be treated with caution.
Validating Trends:
In an Uptrend: You should consistently see the Up Volume (green columns) higher than the Down Volume (red columns). This shows that buyers are in control.
In a Downtrend: You should consistently see the Down Volume higher than the Up Volume, indicating sellers are dominant.
Detecting Trend Weakness (Divergence):
If the price is making new highs but the Up Volume is decreasing, it could signal a weakening of buying pressure, potentially leading to a trend reversal.
The opposite is true in a downtrend: if the price is making new lows but the Down Volume is weakening, a reversal may be imminent.
Using the Delta Signal for Reversals:
When the Delta signal turns from red to green at a price low (near a support level), it can confirm the beginning of new buying strength.
When the Delta turns from green to red at a price high (near a resistance level), it can confirm the start of new selling pressure.
The VDS indicator is a valuable addition to any trading strategy, adding a new dimension to volume analysis and helping traders understand what's really happening behind price movements.
Volume Delta CandlesThis indicator is designed to visualize the volume delta, which represents the difference between buying and selling volumes during each candle period. The indicator plots custom candlesticks on the chart, with OHLC values calculated based on the volume delta.
Calculations:
To calculate the volume delta, the indicator first determines the buying and selling volumes. If the closing price is higher than the opening price (close > open), the volume is considered as buying volume. If the closing price is lower than the opening price (close < open), the volume is considered as selling volume. Otherwise, the volume is set to zero. The volume delta is then calculated as the difference between the buying volume and the selling volume.
The custom OHLC values are derived from the volume delta. The custom open is obtained by subtracting the volume delta from the closing price. The custom close is obtained by adding the volume delta to the closing price. The custom high is set as the maximum value between the closing price and the custom open, ensuring that the candle represents the highest value within the range. The custom low is set as the minimum value between the closing price and the custom open, ensuring that the candle represents the lowest value within the range.
Interpretation:
The indicator's custom candles provide visual insights into the volume delta. Each candlestick's color (lime for positive volume delta, fuchsia for negative volume delta) indicates the dominance of buying or selling pressure during that period. When the volume delta is positive, it suggests that buying volume exceeded selling volume, possibly indicating a bullish sentiment. Conversely, when the volume delta is negative, it indicates that selling volume was higher, potentially signaling a bearish sentiment. The indicator also plots a zero line to represent the equilibrium point, where buying and selling volumes are equal.
Potential Uses and Limitations:
Traders can use the indicator to gain insights into the strength and direction of buying and selling pressures. Positive volume delta during an uptrend could suggest the presence of strong buying interest, potentially supporting further bullish moves. On the other hand, negative volume delta during a downtrend could indicate intensified selling pressure, hinting at potential further declines. Traders might use the indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as support and resistance levels, trendlines, or oscillators, to confirm potential reversal points or trend continuations.
It's essential to interpret the indicator in the context of the overall market environment. While volume delta can provide valuable insights into short-term buying and selling imbalances, it is just one aspect of market analysis. Traders should consider other factors, such as market structure, fundamental events, and overall sentiment, to make informed trading decisions. Additionally, the indicator's efficacy might vary across different market conditions, and it may produce false signals during low-volume periods or choppy markets.
Conclusion:
By visualizing volume delta through custom candlesticks, traders can gauge market sentiment and potentially identify key reversal or continuation points. As with any technical indicator, it is advisable to use the Volume Delta Candles in combination with other tools to gain a comprehensive understanding of market conditions and make well-informed trading choices. Additionally, traders should practice proper risk management techniques to protect their capital while using the indicator in their trading strategy.
Volume and vPOC InsightsThe vPOC or volume point of control shows where most of the volume was traded. This is important because this is where the institutions and market makers have opened their positions, and these are the ones that move the markets!
This indicator is designed to cut through the volume noise, and enable the hiding of lower volume data.
The main setting allows you to define a lookback, and obscure the candles whose volume is less than x % of the highest volume in this lookback.
Of the remaining candles, their vPOC will be displayed. There are extra settings to extend naked vPOCs, as well as the highs and lows of these high volume candles, plus an EMA based on the vPOC price levels.
I must credit quantifytools @quantifytools who allowed me to utilize his code, for finding vPOCs using lower timeframe candles - there are comments in the code also. It works perfectly so why reinvent the wheel?
Volume Play This is going to be my first published indicator on Trading View. Thanks for TradingView for providing us this great platform And thanks for all of those who helps me to built this indicator and share there ideas.I cannot mention everyone name here believe me that list going to be huge.Everyone’s idea and help is much appreciated.This is how our TradingView community is growing day by day with kindness and knowledge. Every time I take so much from community in form knowledge that every time somewhere I feel that I also need to do something for community and finally day arrived .A gift from my side to community.A gift of indicator-VOLUME PLAY
This volume based indicator has High Relative Volume bar Background, Low Relative Volume bar background ,Volume Labels of Buying volume, Selling volume and Total volume count with percentage, Highest Volume in Percentage and Highest 5x volume count and 10x volume count of bar.Plus I have did column scaling to take Down pan input so you can switch pane or add in existing pane without any major problem And all this works on any time frame. Isn’t it good idea?
This indicator displays the volume of each session in a similar manner of the default volume indicator.However it add on the last bar Green and Red bar colours. Green means buying is more than selling and Red means selling is more than buying.On top of Some bar If number appears That means that’s volume is highest multiple volume of 5 and if number appears with label means highest multiple volume of 10.So simple without label volume counts means 5x and with label means 10x.
Now some of bars has background colour of Mint green , Pastel red and White.That’s highlight high relative volume bars with a highly buying activity range in Green and high relative volume bars with a highly selling activity range in Red And white background is low relative volume for that timeframe bar.
I am kind of person who don’t keep show indicator value enable all time.So it’s come in mind why not plot this values without enabling it.So I decided to show this values of buying, selling and total volumes on top near middle pane.Interesting thing is that I made a label with the help of pine script Table feature.Thanks a lot to Pine Team to add this new great feature! It’s great alternative for labels feature.Because of this feature I am able to locate buying, selling and total volume at right place where in most of scenario it will adjust.
Please note that all values are estimate.It’s not accurate.I show volumes in K,M form.Plus with volume I also try to show Buying And Selling volume in percentage form to get rough idea about what’s going on in instrument.Idea is to get better view of volume by splitting it into Buying , Selling and Total volume.This allows you to see are the bulls or bears in-control in relation to the overall Volume.
By default this indicator overlay is false but you can move this indicator pane to existing upper or lower pane.It will help to save space as well.If combine with two indicator at same pane then it will create two value scale at right side.So you will not loose any indicators values.By default I used 50% of vertical space in indicator scale factor.
I tried to make this indicator as accurate as inbuilt volume indicator with added extra feature.The main aim of indicator to get Idea of volume role in that symbol with that specific timeframe.Result might not be accurate but I expect somewhat nearby to accurate.
Kept source code open purposely for learners of pine script. Please avoid misuse or selling of this indicator.Remember Sharing Is Caring. If someone has suggestions or any addition then please comment below.Wishing you all abundance of health, wealth, and prosperity.
After all its all about VOLUME PLAY.

Volume Spike Analysis [Trendoscope]The Volume Spike Analysis is designed to detect volume spikes in a trading instrument's data. Rather than relying on the traditional method of comparing volume to its moving average, this indicator employs a distinctive approach to ensure accuracy.
Methodology
Historical Volume Comparison: The indicator first assesses the current bar's volume, say 100k, and looks back historically to determine the last instance when the volume was equal to or exceeded this level.
High Volume Bar Gap Calculation: The intervals or gaps between high volume bars are recorded. These gaps help in determining how common or rare a particular volume spike is.
Spike Magnitude Determination: Here, the extent of the volume spike is gauged in relation to either the median, lowest, or average volume of the intervening bars. The reference metric (median, lowest, or average) can be chosen by the user through the "Volume Spike Reference" input parameter.
Spike Percentile Analysis: The calculated spike magnitude (as a percentage of the reference volume) is cataloged. This collection aids in understanding the relative intensity of the current volume spike when compared to previous spikes.
Threshold Comparisons: The indicator then compares the calculated "High Volume Distance Percentile" to the "Last High Volume Distance Percentile" and the "Volume Spike Percentile" to the "Volume Spike Threshold". If these values surpass the preset thresholds, the current bar is flagged as a high volume or volume spike bar.
Visual Components
Bar Highlighting : High volume or volume spike bars are accentuated with bright colors for easy identification. All other bars have increased transparency to reduce visual clutter.
Distance from the High Volume Bar: Indication of the number of bars since the last high volume occurrence and its respective percentile.
Comparative Factors: A factor representing the magnitude by which the current volume surpasses the lowest, median, and average volumes.
Lowest, Median and Average Volumes: The lowest and median volumes are indicated by tooltips on lines marking the respective bars. The average volume is depicted as a dotted horizontal line, with a triangle marker tooltip revealing its value.
This indicator offers a nuanced analysis of volume spikes, aiding traders in making more informed decisions.
Volume Profile VisionVolume Profile Vision - Complete Description
Overview
Volume Profile Vision (VPV) is an advanced volume profile indicator that visualizes where trading activity has occurred at different price levels over a specified time period. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show volume over time, this indicator displays volume distribution across price levels, helping traders identify key support/resistance zones, fair value areas, and potential reversal points.
What Makes This Indicator Original
Volume Profile Vision introduces several unique features not found in standard volume profile tools:
Dual-Direction Histogram Display:
Unlike conventional volume profiles that only show bars extending in one direction, VPV displays volume bars extending both left (into historical candles) and right (as a traditional histogram). This bi-directional approach allows traders to see exactly where historical price action intersected with high-volume nodes.
Real-Time Candle Highlighting: The indicator dynamically highlights volume bars that intersect with the current candle's price range, making it immediately obvious which volume levels are currently in play.
Four Professional Color Schemes: Each color scheme uses distinct gradient algorithms and visual encoding systems:
Traffic Light: Uses red (POC), green (VA boundaries), yellow (HVN), with grayscale gradients outside the value area
Aurora Glass: Modern cyan-to-magenta gradient with hot magenta POC highlighting
Obsidian Precision: Professional dark theme with white POC and electric cyan accents
Black Ice: Monochromatic cyan family with graduated intensity
Adaptive Transparency System: Automatically adjusts bar transparency based on position relative to value area, with special handling for each color scheme to maintain visual clarity.
Core Concepts & Calculations
Volume Distribution Analysis
The indicator divides the visible price range into user-defined price levels (default: 80 levels) and calculates the total volume traded at each level by:
Scanning back through the specified lookback period (customizable or visible range)
For each historical bar, determining which price levels the bar's high/low range intersects
Accumulating volume for each intersected price level
Optionally filtering by bullish/bearish volume only
Point of Control (POC)
The POC is the price level with the highest traded volume during the analyzed period. This represents the "fairest" price where most traders agreed on value. The indicator marks this with distinct coloring (red in Traffic Light, magenta in Aurora Glass, white in Obsidian Precision, cyan in Black Ice).
Trading Significance: POC acts as a strong magnet for price - markets tend to return to fair value. When price is away from POC, traders watch for:
Mean reversion opportunities when price is far from POC
Rejection signals when price tests POC from above/below
Breakout confirmation when price breaks through and holds beyond POC
Value Area (VA)
The Value Area encompasses the price range where a specified percentage (default: 68%) of all volume traded. This represents the range of "accepted value" by market participants.
Calculation Method:
Start at the POC (highest volume level)
Expand upward and downward, adding adjacent price levels
Always add the level with higher volume next
Continue until accumulated volume reaches the VA percentage threshold
Value Area High (VAH): Upper boundary of accepted value - acts as resistance
Value Area Low (VAL): Lower boundary of accepted value - acts as support
Trading Significance:
Price spending time inside VA indicates market equilibrium
Breakouts above VAH suggest bullish momentum shift
Breakdowns below VAL suggest bearish momentum shift
Returns to VA boundaries often provide high-probability entry zones
High Volume Nodes (HVN)
Price levels with volume exceeding a threshold percentage (default: 80%) of POC volume. These represent areas of strong agreement and consolidation.
Trading Significance:
HVNs act as strong support/resistance zones
Price tends to consolidate at HVNs before making directional moves
Breaking through an HVN often signals strong momentum
Low Volume Nodes (LVN)
Price levels within the Value Area with volume ≤30% of POC volume. These are zones price moved through quickly with minimal consolidation.
Trading Significance:
LVNs represent areas of rejection - price finds little acceptance
Price tends to move rapidly through LVN zones
Useful for setting stop-losses (below LVN for longs, above for shorts)
Can identify potential gaps or "air pockets" in the market structure
Grayscale POC Detection
A secondary POC detection system identifies the highest volume level outside the Value Area (with a 2-level buffer to avoid confusion). This helps identify significant volume accumulation zones that exist beyond the main value area.
How to Use This Indicator
Setup
Choose Lookback Period:
Enable "Use Visible Range" to analyze only what's on your chart
Or set "Fixed Range Lookback Depth" (default: 200 bars) for consistent analysis
Adjust Profile Resolution:
"Number of Price Levels" (default: 80) - higher = more granular analysis, lower = broader zones
Select Color Scheme:
Traffic Light: Best for clear POC/VA/HVN identification
Aurora Glass: Modern aesthetic for dark charts
Obsidian Precision: Professional trader preference
Black Ice: Minimalist single-color family
Visual Customization
Left Extension: How far back the left-side histogram extends into historical candles (default: 490 bars)
Right Extension: Width of the traditional histogram bars on the right (default: 50 bars)
Right Margin: Space between current price bar and histogram (default: 0 for flush alignment)
Left Profile Gap: Space between left-side histogram and candles (default: 0)
Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Value Area Mean Reversion
Wait for price to move outside the Value Area (above VAH or below VAL)
Look for rejection signals (wicks, bearish/bullish candles)
Enter trades toward the POC
Take profits as price returns to POC or opposite VA boundary
Strategy 2: Breakout Confirmation
Identify when price is consolidating within the Value Area
Wait for a strong close above VAH (bullish) or below VAL (bearish)
Enter on the breakout or on first pullback to the VA boundary
Target previous HVNs or swing highs/lows outside the VA
Strategy 3: POC Support/Resistance
Watch for price approaching the POC level
If approaching from below, look for bullish reversal patterns at POC (support)
If approaching from above, look for bearish reversal patterns at POC (resistance)
Trade in the direction of the bounce with stops beyond the POC
Strategy 4: LVN Fast Movement Zones
Identify LVN zones within the Value Area (marked with "LVN" label)
When price enters an LVN, expect rapid movement through the zone
Avoid entering trades within LVNs
Use LVNs as confirmation of directional momentum
Alert System
The indicator includes 7 customizable alert conditions:
POC Touch: Alerts when price comes within 0.5 ATR of POC
VAH/VAL Touch: Alerts at Value Area boundaries
VA Breakout: Alerts on breakouts above VAH or below VAL
HVN Touch: Alerts when price contacts High Volume Nodes
LVN Entry: Alerts when entering Low Volume zones
POC Shift: Alerts when POC moves to a new price level
Reading the Profile
Price Labels (shown on the right side):
POC: Point of Control - highest volume price level
VAH: Value Area High - upper boundary of accepted value
VAL: Value Area Low - lower boundary of accepted value
LVN: Low Volume Node - expect fast movement through this zone
Color Intensity Interpretation:
Brighter colors = higher volume concentration
Dimmer colors = lower volume
Abrupt color changes = transition between volume zones
Gaps in the histogram = price levels with no trading activity
Technical Details
Volume Accumulation Logic:
For each bar in lookback period:
For each price level:
If bar's high/low range intersects price level:
Add bar's volume to that price level's total
Gradient Algorithm:
Traffic Light: Dual-range piecewise gradient (0-50% and 50-100% volume intensity)
Aurora Glass: Linear cyan-to-magenta interpolation
Obsidian Precision: Dark blue gradient with cyan highlights
Black Ice: Three-stage cyan intensity progression
Real-Time Updates:
The profile recalculates on every bar, including real-time tick data, ensuring the volume distribution always reflects current market structure.
Best Practices
Timeframe Selection: Use higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for swing trading, lower timeframes (5min, 15min) for day trading
