Money Flow ExtendedMoney Flow Extended (MF)
Definition
The Money Flow Extended (MF) indicator brings together the functionality of the Money Flow Index indicator (MFI) , a tool created by Gene Quong and Avrum Soudack and used in technical analysis for measuring buying and selling pressure, and The Relative Strength Index (RSI) , a well versed momentum based oscillator created by J.Welles Wilder Jr., which is used to measure the speed (velocity) as well as the change (magnitude) of directional price movements.
History
As the Money Flow Index (MFI) is quite similar to The Relative Strength Index (RSI), essentially the RSI with the added aspect of volume, adding a Moving Average, divergence calculation, oversold and overbought gradients, facilitates the transition from RSI, making the use of MFI pretty similar.
What to look for
Overbought/Oversold
When momentum and price rise fast enough, at a high enough level, eventual the security will be considered overbought. The opposite is also true. When price and momentum fall far enough, they can be considered oversold. Traditional overbought territory starts above 80 and oversold territory starts below 20. These values are subjective however, and a technical analyst can set whichever thresholds they choose.
Divergence
MF Divergence occurs when there is a difference between what the price action is indicating and what MF is indicating. These differences can be interpreted as an impending reversal. Specifically, there are two types of divergences, bearish and bullish.
Bullish MFI Divergence – When price makes a new low but MF makes a higher low.
Bearish MFI Divergence – When price makes a new high but MF makes a lower high.
Failure Swings
Failure swings are another occurrence which can lead to a price reversal. One thing to keep in mind about failure swings is that they are completely independent of price and rely solely on MF. Failure swings consist of four steps and are considered to be either Bullish (buying opportunity) or Bearish (selling opportunity).
Bullish Failure Swing
MF drops below 20 (considered oversold).
MF bounces back above 20.
MF pulls back but remains above 20 (remains above oversold)
MF breaks out above its previous high.
Bearish Failure Swing
MF rises above 80 (considered overbought)
MF drops back below 80
MF rises slightly but remains below 80 (remains below overbought)
MF drops lower than its previous low.
Summary
The Money Flow Extended (MF) can be a very valuable technical analysis tool. Of course, MF should not be used alone as the sole source for a trader’s signals or setups. MF can be combined with additional indicators or chart pattern analysis to increase its effectiveness.

RSI and CMF V 1.0
Introduction: RSI and CMF
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) are two powerful tools for analyzing market behavior. Each serves a unique purpose and provides insights into different aspects of price action.
The RSI measures the speed and magnitude of price movements. By comparing recent gains to losses over a chosen period, it identifies overbought and oversold conditions in the market. RSI focuses solely on price and offers traders a quick glance at whether an asset is trending too high or too low relative to its recent performance.
On the other hand, the CMF evaluates market behavior by integrating both price and volume. It measures money flow to determine whether an asset is being accumulated (bullish) or distributed (bearish). Positive CMF values indicate buying pressure, while negative values signal selling pressure, making it an essential tool for volume-based analysis.
Our Innovation
Traditionally, indicators like the RSI and CMF are analyzed in separate panels, limiting their connection to the price chart itself. We’ve developed an innovative solution that combines the power of these two indicators, enabling traders to simultaneously measure both price movements and volume flow in a unified visualization. By mapping the RSI and CMF directly onto the price chart, our indicator provides a seamless way to observe and analyze how price momentum and money flow interact with the actual price action.
This integration of volume, price, and momentum into a single chart offers traders a comprehensive tool for deeper market insights and faster decision-making.
__________________________________________________________________________
Simple Settings Panel with Tooltips
Our indicator comes with an intuitive and user-friendly settings panel, designed for ease of use and full customization. Each input is accompanied by a tooltip to guide users through the settings and ensure clear understanding of their purpose.
Settings Overview
1. Enable RSI over Price:
Tooltip: "Toggle this option to enable or disable the RSI plotted on the price chart."
This setting allows users to control whether the RSI is displayed directly over the price chart.
2. RSI Length:
Default Value: 14
Tooltip: "Set the period for RSI calculation. Typical value is 14."
Adjusts the time period used for RSI calculations, affecting its sensitivity to price changes.
3. RSI Source:
Default Value: Close
Tooltip: "Choose the data source for RSI calculation, usually the closing price."
Allows users to specify which price data (e.g., close, open, high, low) is used in the RSI calculation.
4. Enable CMF over Price:
Tooltip: "Toggle this option to enable or disable the CMF mapped onto the price chart."
Controls the visibility of the CMF line on the price chart.
5. CMF Length:
Default Value: 20
Tooltip: "Set the period for CMF calculation. Typical value is 20."
Adjusts the time period used to compute the CMF, determining the volume-weighted money flow sensitivity.
Description of RSI and CMF Settings
RSI Settings:
The RSI Length determines how many periods are included in the RSI calculation. Shorter lengths make the RSI more reactive to price changes, while longer lengths smooth out fluctuations. The RSI Source provides flexibility in selecting the price input for calculation, which is typically the closing price by default.
CMF Settings:
The CMF Length defines how many periods are used to calculate the Chaikin Money Flow, enabling users to focus on short-term or long-term trends in money flow. Enabling the CMF over price ensures the relationship between volume and price action is visually evident on the price chart.
The Style Settings
panel allows users to customize the visual appearance of the indicator, ensuring clarity and alignment with their preferences. Users can independently adjust the line colors for RSI and CMF, with default settings of green for RSI and red for CMF, enabling a clear distinction between the two.
Additionally, the Fill between RSI and CMF option provides two customizable colors (Color 0 and Color 1) to represent the dynamic fill. This fill visually highlights the relationship between the RSI and CMF, enhancing the interpretability of their interaction on the price chart. The settings also include options to toggle precision, labels on the price scale, and values in the status line for added flexibility.
_______________________________________________________________________________
How to Analyze with RSI and CMF V 1.0
The RSI and CMF V 1.0 indicator provides an intuitive and integrated approach to analyzing market trends, combining momentum and volume dynamics directly on the price chart. Its innovative mapping of RSI and CMF makes it easy to spot key trends and reversals with unmatched clarity.
Key Insights:
1. Dynamic Relationship Between RSI and CMF:
The indicator maps RSI (momentum-based) and CMF (volume-based) values onto the price chart. This makes it easier to analyze how price momentum aligns with money flow.
The color-coded fill highlights the strength of their relationship:
- Blue Fill: RSI is stronger than CMF, indicating price momentum leads the movement.
- Red Fill: CMF dominates RSI, reflecting the strength of volume flow.
2. Spotting Trends:
Uptrends: Consistent blue fills paired with RSI and CMF rising together suggest bullish momentum backed by strong volume.
Downtrends: Red fills with declining RSI and CMF signal bearish pressure driven by selling volume.
3. Reversals and Divergences:
Divergences between price action and the mapped RSI/CMF lines can signal potential reversals.
For instance, if price is rising but RSI and CMF are both falling, it could indicate weakening bullish momentum.
Ease of Use:
Color Coding: The dynamic fills (blue and red) allow for immediate visual identification of trend strength and direction, reducing analysis time.
Overlay on Price: By plotting directly on the price chart, traders don’t need to switch between multiple panels, ensuring the context remains clear.
Customizable Settings: Inputs for length, source, and enable/disable toggles make it adaptable for all trading styles and timeframes.
In conclusion, this indicator offers a visually clear and easy-to-understand way to combine momentum and volume analysis, empowering traders with actionable insights at a glance.
Directional Volume IndexDirectional Volume Index (DVI) (buying/selling pressure)
This index is adapted from the Directional Movement Index (DMI), but based on volume instead of price movements. The idea is to detect building directional volume indicating a growing amount of orders that will eventually cause the price to follow. (DVI is not displayed by default)
The rough algorithm for the Positive Directional Volume Index (green bar):
calculate the delta to the previous green bar's volume
if the delta is positive (growing buying pressure) add it to an SMA, else add 0 (also for red bars)
divide these average deltas by the average volume
the result is the Positive Directional Volume Index (DVI+) (vice versa for DVI-)
Differential Directional Volume Index (DDVI) (relative pressure)
Creating the difference of both Directional Volume Indexes (DVI+ - DVI-) creates the Differential Directional Volume Index (DDVI) with rising values indicating a growing buying pressure, falling values a growing selling pressure. (DDVI is displayed by default, smoothed by a custom moving average)
Average Directional Volume Index (ADVX) (pressure strength)
Putting the relative pressure (DDVI) in relation to the total pressure (DVI+ + DVI-) we can determine the strength and duration of the currently building volume change / trend. For the DMI/ADX usually 20 is an indicator for a strong trend, values above 50 suggesting exhaustion and approaching reversals. (ADVX is not displayed by default, smoothed by a custom moving average)
Divergences of the Differential Directional Volume Index (DDVI) (imbalances)
By detecting divergences we can detect situations where e.g. bullish volume starts to build while price is in a downtrend, suggesting that there is growing buying pressure indicating an imminent bullish pullback/order block or reversal. (strong and hidden divergences are displayed by default)
Divergences Overview:
strong bull: higher lows on volume, lower lows on price
medium bull: higher lows on volume, equal lows on price
weak bull: equal lows on volume, lower lows on price
hidden bull: lower lows on volume, higher lows on price
strong bear: lower highs on volume, higher highs on price
medium bear: lower highs on volume, equal highs on price
weak bear: equal highs on volume, higher highs on price
hidden bear: higher highs on volume, lower highs on price
DDVI Bands (dynamic overbought/oversold levels)
Using Bollinger Bands with DDVI as source we receive an averaged relative pressure with stdev band offsets. This can be used as dynamic overbought/oversold levels indicating reversals on sharp crossovers.
Alerts
As of now there are no alerts built in, but all internal data is exposed via plot and plotshape functions, so it can be used for custom crossover conditions in the alert dialog. This is still a personal research project, so if you find good setups, please let me know.

Intraday Volume### Intraday Volume Indicator Explanation
--- this was Mostly created by OpenAI ChatGPT --- it's pretty good!
--- My Commentary: One of the problems I find is with Volume is - it is skewed by the overwhelming volume around the Open and Close. So, as an experiment, I asked ChatGPT to create an indicator to plot the volume everywhere BUT the open.
I added in the CandleColor() function and set the times.
I also changed the Intraday Volume calculation from Cumulative to live.
still Chat GPT - did about 90% of the heavy lift! And, wrote the summary !
----
The "Intraday Volume" indicator is a custom script designed for use on the TradingView platform. It provides a visual representation of the total accumulated trading volume during the intraday trading session, specifically between the market open and close times. Below is a detailed explanation of its functionality:
#### **Key Features:**
1. **Session Times:**
- The indicator defines the intraday session as the period between 9:30 AM EST (market open) and 4:00 PM EST (market close).
- It uses the `timestamp` function to set these times dynamically for each trading day.
2. **Intraday Volume Calculation:**
- During the defined intraday session, the indicator accumulates the trading volume from each bar (candlestick).
- Outside the intraday session, the volume is reset to `na` (not available) to ensure only intraday data is plotted.
3. **Plotting the Volume:**
- The accumulated intraday volume is plotted as a blue column chart in a separate pane below the price chart.
- This provides a clear visualization of how the trading volume evolves throughout the trading session.
4. **Horizontal Reference Line:**
- A horizontal line is added at zero as a visual reference, making it easier to interpret the volume data.
#### **Use Cases:**
- **Volume Analysis:**
- Traders can use the indicator to identify periods of high or low trading activity during the intraday session.
- Peaks in the volume chart may correspond to key market events, such as news releases or significant price movements.
- **Trend Confirmation:**
- Comparing intraday volume with price action can help traders confirm the strength of a trend or the likelihood of a reversal.
- **Custom Time Frames:**
- Although this script is tailored for regular U.S. market hours, it can be adapted for other markets or time zones by modifying the session times.
#### **Customization:**
- **Colors and Styles:**
- The plot color (blue) and style (columns) can be customized to suit user preferences.
- **Session Times:**
- Users can change the session start and end times to match their trading needs or regional market hours.
This indicator is especially useful for intraday traders seeking insights into trading volume dynamics within the trading day. By visualizing the intraday volume, traders can gain a deeper understanding of market behavior and make informed decisions.
Volume Delta Candles HTF [TradingFinder] LTF Volume Candles 🔵 Introduction
In financial markets, understanding the concepts of supply and demand and their impact on price movements is of paramount importance. Supply and demand, as fundamental pillars of economics, reflect the interaction between buyers and sellers.
When buyers' strength surpasses that of sellers, demand increases, and prices tend to rise. Conversely, when sellers dominate buyers, supply overtakes demand, causing prices to drop. These interactions play a crucial role in determining market trends, price reversal points, and trading decisions.
Volume Delta Candles offer traders a practical way to visualize trading activity within each candlestick. By integrating data from lower timeframes or live market feeds, these candles eliminate the need for standalone volume indicators.
They present the proportions of buying and selling volume as intuitive colored bars, making it easier to interpret market dynamics at a glance. Additionally, they encapsulate critical metrics like peak delta, lowest delta, and net delta, allowing traders to grasp the market's internal order flow with greater precision.
In financial markets, grasping the interplay between supply and demand and its influence on price movements is crucial for successful trading. These fundamental economic forces reflect the ongoing balance between buyers and sellers in the market.
When buyers exert greater strength than sellers, demand dominates, driving prices upward. Conversely, when sellers take control, supply surpasses demand, and prices decline. Understanding these dynamics is essential for identifying market trends, pinpointing reversal points, and making informed trading decisions.
Volume Delta Candles provide an innovative method for evaluating trading activity within individual candlesticks, offering a simplified view without relying on separate volume indicators. By leveraging lower timeframe or real-time data, this tool visualizes the distribution of buying and selling volumes within a candle through color-coded bars.
This visual representation enables traders to quickly assess market sentiment and understand the forces driving price action. Buyer and seller strength is a critical concept that focuses on the ratio of buying to selling volumes. This ratio not only provides insights into the market's current state but also serves as a leading indicator for detecting potential shifts in trends.
Traders often rely on volume analysis to identify significant supply and demand zones, guiding their entry and exit strategies. Delta Candles translate these complex metrics, such as Maximum Delta, Minimum Delta, and Final Delta, into an easy-to-read visual format using Japanese candlestick structures, making them an invaluable resource for analyzing order flows and market momentum.
By merging the principles of supply and demand with comprehensive volume analysis, tools like the indicator introduced here offer unparalleled clarity into market behavior. This indicator calculates the relative strength of supply and demand for each candlestick by analyzing the ratio of buyers to sellers.
🔵 How to Use
The presented indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing supply and demand strength in financial markets. It helps traders identify the strengths and weaknesses of buyers and sellers and utilize this information for better decision-making.
🟣 Analyzing the Highest Volume Trades on Candles
A unique feature of this indicator is the visualization of price levels with the highest trade volume for each candlestick.

Holding VolumeThe Holding Volume indicator calculates and visualizes the volume that corresponds specifically to the body of each candle, excluding the wicks (the upper and lower shadows of the candle).
This indicator can help traders better understand the strength of price movement during the trading session, as it isolates the volume that occurs when the price is moving within the body of the candle (between the open and close prices).
Key Features:
Volume Calculation: The indicator calculates the holding volume by taking the ratio of the candle's body range to its total range (including the wicks), and then multiplies that by the total volume of the candle.
Main Chart Display: The indicator is designed to be overlaid on the main chart, displaying the holding volume in a style similar to the default volume indicator.
Customizable Label Color: Customize the text color of the volume labels displayed on each candle.
Volume as Columns: The holding volume is shown as columns at the bottom of the chart, similar to the default volume display, for easy comparison and analysis.
How It Helps:
By focusing on the volume within the candle body, this indicator helps you see where the actual price movement and market participation occurred.
It can be useful for identifying candles with strong momentum or distinguishing between significant price movements and those driven by minor fluctuations or wicks.
Ideal Use Case:
Day traders, swing traders, and volume-focused traders can use this indicator to identify trends and analyze the strength of price moves.
This indicator is particularly useful when combined with other technical analysis tools to validate breakouts or reversals, based on the volume within the body of the candles.
Instructions:
No additional setup required: Simply add the indicator to your chart, and it will automatically display the holding volume on the main chart.
Adjust the label text color via the settings to match your chart's theme.
[AlbaTherium] Volume Venturius Premium Volume Venturius Premium
Introduction
The Volume Venturius Premium is an advanced market analysis tool designed to deeply investigate the behavior of active market participants. By focusing exclusively on executed market orders, Volume Venturius offers traders a unique perspective on buy and sell volumes. Unlike traditional order books that track passive orders, this indicator isolates active orders, shedding light on real market dynamics.
Chapter 1: Understanding Market Participants
1.1 Categories of Market Participants
Market participants can be classified into several categories based on their:
Size : The volume of trades executed.
Influence : Their ability to initiate bull or bear campaigns.
Strategy : The trading methods employed, such as scalping, swing trading, or high-frequency trading.
Objectives : Whether their focus is on speculation, hedging, or arbitrage.
Time Horizon : Short-term versus long-term goals.
Behavioral Patterns : Their reaction to liquidity levels or price movements.
1.2 Objectives of Market Participants
Each category pursues specific objectives, such as profit-making or risk management. Regulatory reports like the Commitment of Traders (COT) provide weekly insights into the positions and intentions of major players.
Chapter 2: The Philosophy of Volume Analysis
2.1 Active Orders vs. Passive Orders
Unlike passive orders waiting to be filled at specific prices, active orders directly impact market prices. By focusing on these executed orders, Volume Venturius Premium provides traders with actionable insights into market trends and momentum.
2.2 Wyckoff’s Market Dynamics
According to Wyckoff, markets operate in two primary phases:
Manipulation: Where large participants accumulate or distribute positions to prepare for a move.
Expansion: The phase where price trends begin to unfold, either in a bullish or bearish direction.
Wyckoff’s theory emphasizes understanding how major players manipulate the market to identify accumulation or distribution zones. Volume Venturius Premium aids in pinpointing these manipulative actions by analyzing volume and order flow data.
Chapter 3: The Secrets of Order Flow and Volume
3.1 Unveiling Market Control
By studying the positioning and execution volumes of large players, traders can discern who holds control in the market. Volume Venturius Premium identifies the balance of power and tracks shifts that signal potential trend reversals.
3.2 Behavioral Patterns in Volume
Key metrics tracked by Volume Venturius Premium include:
Volume Clusters : Areas of concentrated buying or selling activity.
Directional Bias : Whether market participants are net buyers or sellers.
Momentum Shifts : Changes in execution speed and volume that may precede major moves.
3.2.1 Volume Clusters, Directional Bias and Directional Bias: Areas of Concentrated Buying or Selling Activity
Volume clusters play a crucial role in understanding market dynamics by highlighting areas where aggressive buying or selling activity is most concentrated. These clusters often serve as key decision zones, providing insights into potential reversals, breakouts, or continuations. To better visualize and interpret these zones, a distinct color-coding system has been implemented. Each color represents a specific market condition or level of activity, allowing for a more intuitive analysis of volume behavior and its influence on price movement.
Below is a detailed explanation of the color logic used to represent these clusters and their significance within the trading framework.
Color Interpretation and Meaning :
Extra Extreme Zones
These zones highlight areas where clusters of aggressive buyers or sellers are most heavily concentrated. They represent critical levels for identifying potential reversals or strong continuations.
Bright Red (#ff003c) : Represents extra-extreme sell zones, where aggressive sellers dominate.
Meaning: Indicates extreme selling pressure, often signaling potential exhaustion of sellers.
Bright Blue (#001eff) : Represents extra-extreme buy zones, where aggressive buyers are most active.
Meaning: Shows extreme buying pressure, possibly marking a saturation point for buyers.
Main Zones
These zones help identify key levels based on volume activity and well-defined clusters.
Dark Red (#d60033) : Represents strong selling pressure.
Orange (#ff8000) : Indicates significant selling pressure that begins to fade.
Yellow (#ffff00) : Represents moderate selling pressure, signaling a potential slowdown.
White (#ffffff) : Marks transition zones, which are interesting entry points for potential reversals or continuations.
Transition Zones (Frontier Zones)
These zones indicate intermediate movements and potential shifts in momentum.
Transparent Black (#000000, 50) : Represents transition areas, where the market tests boundaries between buyers and sellers.
Meaning: These are critical decision points.
Neutral Zone (Sea Zone)- Trend Zones
These zones represent more balanced market activity, where neither buyers nor sellers dominate clearly.
Transparent Green (#00e040, 25) : Indicates slight bullish activity in a neutral zone.
Transparent Red (#e01a00, 25) : Indicates slight bearish activity in a neutral zone.
This color logic allows you to pinpoint areas where volume clusters show a clear dominance, exhaustion, or optimal entry opportunities.
3.3 Divergences Between Price and Volume
Divergences between price and volume are critical for identifying key shifts in market sentiment. Volume Venturius Premium distinguishes two main types of divergences: Lack of Participation and Absorption, each offering valuable signals for potential reversals or continuations.
Lack of Participation
This divergence occurs when price movements are not supported by corresponding volume dynamics, signaling a reduction in activity from significant market participants.
1. Bullish Lack of Participation:
Characteristics : Price is making lower lows, but volume is making higher lows.
This indicates waning selling pressure as prices drop.
Inference : A potential bullish reversal may occur. Traders could consider looking for opportunities to go long.
2.Bearish Lack of Participation:
Characteristics : Price is making higher highs, but volume is making lower highs. This suggests diminishing buying pressure even as prices rise.
Inference : A potential bearish reversal might follow. Traders might position to go short.
Absorption
Absorption occurs when larger market participants neutralize the pressure from smaller participants, often leading to significant market moves.
1.Bullish Absorption:
Characteristics : Price is making higher bottoms, but volume is making lower bottoms.
This reflects sellers being trapped as their selling efforts are absorbed by larger buyers.
Inference : A potential upward breakout is likely. Traders may look for opportunities to go long.
2.Bearish Absorption:
Characteristics : Price is making lower tops, but volume is making higher tops. This indicates buyers being trapped as larger sellers absorb their buying activity.
Inference : A downward breakout is probable. Traders may consider positioning to go short.

Volume IQOverview
Volume IQ is meant to be the ‘intelligent volume distribution analyzer’ that takes much of the work of interpreting volume profiles off of your shoulders. It attempts to ‘do the technical analysis’ of volume data for you, with its capstone feature being "Trading Action Zones": ranges on the chart whose placement are determined by high and low volume nodes and sentiment analysis, and their adapting range affected by current volatility. These zones are meant to offer practical levels for potential entries, exits, targets, and stops while trading. These zones are the cherry on top of other useful and original features like visuals for grouping areas of similar buy/sell bias.
Originality and Usefulness
Volume IQ stands out for its originality by offering a data-driven approach to interpreting volume profiles and presenting its analysis on the chart. Unlike traditional volume profiles, Volume IQ automates much of the volume analysis process, helping traders identify potential opportunities and key trading areas with minimal effort. Its unique "Trading Action Zones" leverage high and low volume nodes, sentiment analysis, and current volatility to highlight practical levels for entries, exits, targets, and stops. Additionally, the tool provides grouped bias visuals, gradient coloring, and flexible customization options, allowing traders to gain a clearer understanding of market sentiment and structure. By simplifying complex volume data into actionable insights, Volume IQ provides a valuable and efficient resource for charting on TradingView.
The ‘Capstone’ Feature:
Trading ‘Action Zones’: Potential areas to take trading action based on built-in interpretations of high-volume nodes, low-volume nodes, and overarching chart sentiment (whose calculation is described below), and their interplay. Categorized by tiers - with Tier 2 zones intended as potential entry areas, and Tier 1 zones for exits or adds. These zones can also present logical areas to consider targets and stops, for example placing a stop loss in a Tier 1 sell zone below price where there is a series of low-volume nodes and potentially not much support. These zones help you quickly identify potential areas on the chart to ‘take action’.
Key Features:
Level and Block Biases: By estimating buying and selling volume, as well as leveraging intrabar data, the Volume IQ profile provides detailed buy/sell sentiment at individual price levels. It then groups together consecutive price levels with the same bias into what we call ‘Block Biases’ making it easy to determine larger price areas with distinct buying or selling pressure.
Chart Sentiment Analysis: A ‘continuously optimizing algorithm’ configured to find high average runups after a sentiment switch powers what we call ‘bias guidelines’ which border the Volume IQ profile and influence the determination of Action Zones. This algorithm is based on comparing many combinations of volume-weighted trends, largely based on smoothed volume weighted moving averages, on each bar, to ensure that the approach with the highest average runup amongst the combinations is used.
Zones of Control: A gradient-coloring approach to the profile highlighst areas of influence at a glance, making it easier to focus on key price levels.
Broad Compatibility: Works across all chart timeframes and market types - so long as volume data and OHLC candle data is available.
Highly Customizable: Configure features to align with your trading preferences and workflow. Show them all, or pick and choose the ones you want.
Settings

Gradient Coloring: Enable or disable gradient shading of the profile for visual enhancement of zones with high control and low control.
Action Zones: Turn trading action zones on or off to highlight key trading levels.
Time Staggering: Enabling this option will simply ‘stagger’ the display of action zones horizontally. Zones closer to price will be placed leftwards, and as they become more distant from price, they will be ‘staggered out’ rightwards, to give an intuitive feel for the time it may take for price to reach these zones.
Tier Labels: Enable or disable the ‘tier labels’ (1 square for Tier 1, 2 squares for Tier 2) for action zones.
Bias Blocks: Toggle the display of grouped buy/sell bias blocks.
Extend: Choose how the bias blocks are displayed: “Left” to stretch them from the end to the beginning of the histogram, “Right” to extend from the end outwards, and “Across” to extend from the beginning to outwards past the end, enveloping the bias and volume count labels.
Opacity: Adjust the transparency level of bias blocks (0–100).
Level Bias Labels: Turn on/off labels for individual price level biases.
Bias Guidelines: Enable the visual guidelines for bias levels which border the profile.
Volume Counts: Toggle volume count labels for each of the profile’s price levels.
Split Buy/Sell Volume: Enable separate display of buy and sell volume for each level (buy volume on the left, sell volume on the right).
Font Size: Adjust the font size for these labels.
Histogram Display: Choose the display option for the histogram bars of the profile themselves: "Full View" will display the profile, and “None” will hide it.
BG Shading Logic: Adjust the background shading logic for the display: “Neutral” will use the ‘Neutral Color’ from your color theme to put some emphasis around high and low volume nodes, while “None” will remove any background shading.
Detail: This option allows you to set the granularity of the volume data used: “Bar Data” will simply use the bar data from the chart timeframe, while “Intrabar Data” will attempt to use bar data from a lower timeframe. Please note that using intrabar data may not be available with your TradingView subscription on some timeframes, and also that using intrabar data may increase calculation time.
Data Request: Choose the lookback for the volume distribution: "Long-term" will look back 500 bars, and “Short-Term” will halve this.
# of Levels: Specify the number of levels/rows to display for visualizing the distribution.
Volume Spike LevelsThis trading indicator finds specific high volume patterns that we have found to be the most likely to act as strong support and resistance levels and plots them on the chart. Using those high probability levels, the indicator will show lines in real time, as well as lines and important zones at the beginning of higher time frames to give you specific levels and areas where price is likely to react.
The most important volume zone for each time frame will have a color fill between the top and bottom lines of that high probability zone so you know to pay extra close attention to that area and look for price reactions there. If you can be patient enough to wait for price to hit these important areas and start to reverse, you will get great entries and help keep yourself from overtrading.
The levels shown can be adjusted to suit your preference, allowing you to get the right amount of levels for your trading strategy, whether that be scalping the 1 minute chart or long term investing via the daily chart.
HOW TO USE
For best results with this indicator, look for 2 types of setups. The first setup is a continuation bounce. You should be looking for these when price has broken out of its recent trading range either to the upside or the downside. When price is extending like this, look to take entries once a volume spike level shows up on the chart and price retraces back to that level. Then take your entry in the same direction as the trend. You can scalp quick wins this way, or you can wait for the next volume spike level to show up and price can’t hold that level any more, then get out. Place your stop loss just beyond the pivot that bounced off of the volume level.
The second type of setup you should look for is a reversal setup. This setup should be used when the market is ranging. Look for the top and bottom of the recent range and find the volume spike levels near the top or bottom of that range and wait for price to reach those levels. Once price hits that level and starts to show a reversal in price, take your entry. You can take quick scalps from those reversals for quick wins, or you can wait for price to reach the next major volume spike level and get out there or just before it. Place your stop loss just beyond the pivot that price made at the volume spike level where you entered your trade.
No matter which setup you are trading, it is never a bad idea to trail your stop loss as price moves towards your take profit level. Whatever volume spike timeframes you are using for your overall trend, you can use a lower time frame volume spike level to give you price points to trail your stop loss to there once price gets supportive at those levels and moves past them.
You should also pay close attention to how price reacts to the important volume zones shown. Many times, price will range inside or near these zones for a while and then form an accumulation just above or below that zone. When this happens, it is likely that price will start to move quickly in the direction that price moved away from that important zone. So when you see the price range inside of these zones and then go just beyond the zone on either side and accumulate, look to trade that breakout of the zone in the same direction that it moved away from the zone.
Note that on lower time frame charts, you will not be able to get some higher time frame levels because Tradingview limits the number of historical bars it can calculate on. So if you are on the 1-5 minute chart, you won’t be able to get yearly or quarterly levels late in the year/quarter due to the number of bars it has to calculate for those levels to populate is beyond the number of allowed bars. You can work around this by manually going to the daily chart and getting the yearly levels and drawing a horizontal line on your chart at the levels shown so that you still have those levels on your lower time frame charts. Unfortunately there is no way for us to work around this with code.
Each setting in the settings panel has a tooltip that will explain that specific setting so you understand how to use it. Just hover your mouse over the “i” icon and it will show a popup with the info. For the non-real time levels, the daily level settings will have the tooltips explaining everything and that info applies to all of the non-real time levels.
MODES
The indicator has two different modes you can use that will affect how the real time levels show up on your chart but will not affect the higher time frame levels. The default mode will give you static horizontal lines only. This means that when a high probability volume spike level comes in, a horizontal line will be drawn and will extend as long as the timeframe that the level is set to. For example a 60 minute volume spike time frame will extend the line for 60 minutes on the chart and then end. These lines will be drawn individually and will not update.
The second mode will give you variable lines and will show a color fill based on where price is in relation to all of the real time levels that are turned on. So if the price is above a level, it will color the background green and if the price is below a level, it will color the background red. This helps identify the trend of price compared to where the high probability volume spike levels came in so you can trade in the direction of the trend. With this mode, the lines for each time frame will update to the new level when a new volume spike for that time frame happens.
ALERTS
The indicator has alerts programmed for each different type of volume spike level that is available to add to your chart. So you can set an alert for when a new volume spike happens on any of the real time volume spike time frames, when price crosses the most recent real time volume spike level for each time frame, alert when any real time volume spike happens, alert when price crosses any of the higher time frame volume levels and also when price has crossed the upper or lower level of any of the important volume zones. Each alert is labeled the same as in the indicator settings so you can easily select which one you want.
For alerts to work properly, you have to have the levels turned on for whatever alerts you use. For example if you want an alert for Realtime 2 Volume Spikes, the Realtime 2 Volume Spike Levels must be turned on and shown on your chart.
Note that when using the alerts for price crossing a level, it will only alert when price crosses the most recent volume spike level. It will not alert when price crosses a previous level of the same time frame.
CUSTOMIZATION
You can customize nearly every feature of this indicator to tailor it to your specific trading style. Some of the customizable features are as follows: turn on or off labels for each time frame, turn on or off the color fills for important volume zones for each time frame, turn on or off the levels for each time frame, adjust the number of previous levels shown for each time frame, change the length of the lines for each time frame, extend the lines right for each time frame, change the color of the lines for each time frame, adjust the color fill colors for important volume zones, adjust the label colors and adjust the label offset length.
We also included some master settings to allow you to control various settings across all time frames with one click. These settings are as follows: turn on or off all labels, turn on or off all realtime levels, remove all lines except the most important volume zone on every time frame, turn on or off all color fills of important zones, adjust the background color fill of the trend coloring when set to variable lines and adjust the background color of all important zones.
There is also a feature that may need to be adjusted when you are looking at charts that do not have a lot of historical data. It will say the index is out of bounds, so look at the index number that the error shows by hovering over the red exclamation point next to the indicator name and adjust the setting labeled “Bar Index Threshold To Fix Errors” to a number that is slightly higher than the index number in the error message. This will fix the error by changing the calculations slightly to adjust for the bar indexes of that specific chart.

Abnormal volume [VG]🪙 INTRODUCTION
This technical indicator helps identify and highlight large volume clusters on the chart.
Abnormal volume refers to unusually large accumulations of volume over short time intervals. Such clusters appear when the amount of assets bought or sold significantly exceeds typical volumes for a specific asset over a given period. These patterns can indicate significant events or intentions of market participants.
Reasons for abnormal volume clusters:
Institutional investments :
Large investment funds and banks may buy or sell significant volumes of assets to rebalance their portfolios.
Impact of news and events :
Important news (e.g., mergers, bankruptcies, management changes) can trigger large-scale buying or selling of assets.
Market manipulation :
Big players may execute large trades to artificially create demand or supply for an asset, affecting its price in the short term.
Insider trading :
Abnormal volumes may signal that someone with insider information has started buying or selling assets in anticipation of future events that could impact the price.
What do abnormal volume clusters mean for traders?
A signal of potential price changes :
High trading volumes are often accompanied by sharp price movements. An increase in volume during price growth might indicate rising interest in the asset, while an increase during a decline could signal a sell-off.
Potential entry or exit points :
For short-term traders, abnormal trades can serve as signals to enter or exit positions. For example, a large volume growth accompanied by a breakout of a key level might be seen as a buy signal.
Caution due to potential manipulation :
Abnormal trades don’t always lead to expected outcomes. Sometimes, they are part of a price manipulation strategy, so it’s essential to consider the broader context and confirm with other signals.
🪙 USAGE
This indicator doesn’t provide trading signals, entry points, or actionable recommendations.
Instead, it simplifies tracking market dynamics and highlights unusual activity worth considering during analysis.
After adding the indicator to the chart, you only need to configure two parameters: the threshold value that determines what constitutes a significant volume cluster and the period over which volumes are aggregated for comparison against the threshold.
It’s recommended to use the shortest available period, as this helps more precisely identify the prevailing volume direction (since this depends on price changes, not trade direction).
The threshold value can be fine-tuned by switching the chart’s timeframe to match the selected period, observing of the significant volume increase on the classic volume histogram, and noting the corresponding market reactions. This allows for selecting a threshold that highlights early signs of impactful trading events on higher timeframes.
Let’s look at an example in the screenshot:
Once the parameters are set, you can also enable an alert to trigger whenever a new volume cluster appears, simplifying event tracking.
Note: in the current version of the indicator, the alert will be triggered only once per bar on the chart at the first detected cluster of abnormal volume.
🪙 IMPLEMENTATION
Technically, the script retrieves volume data from a lower timeframe and estimates whether the volume was primarily generated by buyers or sellers based on price movements.
The lower resolution timeframe is determined as follows:
if the settings base period is less than 1 minute, then the data timeframe will be equal to 1 second
if the settings base period is equals 1 minute or more, then the data timeframe will be equal to 1 minute
The algorithm checks whether the price increased or decreased at each point. If the price rose, the volume is presumed to be driven by buyers and marked as buy volume; otherwise, it’s marked as sell volume.
The total volume at each point is then checked against the user-defined threshold. If the volume exceeds the threshold, a corresponding circle is drawn on the chart, and an alert is generated if created.
The size of the visual representation is proportional to the most recent maximum volume and follows the rules below:
Percentage of max volume -> Volume cluster size
less than 25% -> Tiny
25% to 50% -> Small
50% to 75% -> Normal
75% to 100% -> Large
100% or more -> Huge
🪙 SETTINGS
The indicator is designed to be as simple and minimalist as possible, making configuration effortless. There are only two core parameters, with additional options to customize the colors of volume clusters based on their type.
Trade volume threshold
Defines the volume level above which a cluster is considered significant and displayed on the chart as a circle. The size of the circle depends on the proportion of the current volume relative to the most recent maximum over the chosen period.
Trades base period
Specifies the period for aggregating trade volumes to determine whether they qualify as abnormal. The significance level is set using the Trade volume threshold parameter.
Buy/Sell trades
Allows you to set the colors for abnormal volume circles based on the price direction during cluster formation.
🪙 CONCLUSION
Abnormal volume clusters are always a critical indicator requiring attention and analysis, but they are not a guaranteed predictor of trend changes.
