Volume Surprise [LuxAlgo]The Volume Surprise tool displays the trading volume alongside the expected volume at that time, allowing users to spot unexpected trading activity on the chart easily.
The tool includes an extrapolation of the estimated volume for future periods, allowing forecasting future trading activity.
🔶 USAGE
We define Volume Surprise as a situation where the actual trading volume deviates significantly from its expected value at a given time.
Being able to determine if trading activity is higher or lower than expected allows us to precisely gauge the interest of market participants in specific trends.
A histogram constructed from the difference between the volume and expected volume is provided to easily highlight the difference between the two and may be used as a standalone.
The tool can also help quantify the impact of specific market events, such as news about an instrument. For example, an important announcement leading to volume below expectations might be a sign of market participants underestimating the impact of the announcement.
Like in the example above, it is possible to observe cases where the volume significantly differs from the expected one, which might be interpreted as an anomaly leading to a correction.
🔹 Detecting Rare Trading Activity
Expected volume is defined as the mean (or median if we want to limit the impact of outliers) of the volume grouped at a specific point in time. This value depends on grouping volume based on periods, which can be user-defined.
However, it is possible to adjust the indicator to overestimate/underestimate expected volume, allowing for highlighting excessively high or low volume at specific times.
In order to do this, select "Percentiles" as the summary method, and change the percentiles value to a value that is close to 100 (overestimate expected volume) or to 0 (underestimate expected volume).
In the example above, we are only interested in detecting volume that is excessively high, we use the 95th percentile to do so, effectively highlighting when volume is higher than 95% of the volumes recorded at that time.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Choosing the Right Periods
Our expected volume value depends on grouping volume based on periods, which can be user-defined.
For example, if only the hourly period is selected, volumes are grouped by their respective hours. As such, to get the expected volume for the hour 7 PM, we collect and group the historical volumes that occurred at 7 PM and average them to get our expected value at that time.
Users are not limited to selecting a single period, and can group volume using a combination of all the available periods.
Do note that when on lower timeframes, only having higher periods will lead to less precise expected values. Enabling periods that are too low might prevent grouping. Finally, enabling a lot of periods will, on the other hand, lead to a lot of groups, preventing the ability to get effective expected values.
In order to avoid changing periods by navigating across multiple timeframes, an "Auto Selection" setting is provided.
🔹 Group Length
The length setting allows controlling the maximum size of a volume group. Using higher lengths will provide an expected value on more historical data, further highlighting recurring patterns.
🔹 Recommended Assets
Obtaining the expected volume for a specific period (time of the day, day of the week, quarter, etc) is most effective when on assets showing higher signs of periodicity in their trading activity.
This is visible on stocks, futures, and forex pairs, which tend to have a defined, recognizable interval with usually higher trading activity.
Assets such as cryptocurrencies will usually not have a clearly defined periodic trading activity, which lowers the validity of forecasts produced by the tool, as well as any conclusions originating from the volume to expected volume comparisons.
🔶 SETTINGS
Length: Maximum number of records in a volume group for a specific period. Older values are discarded.
Smooth: Period of a SMA used to smooth volume. The smoothing affects the expected value.
🔹 Periods
Auto Selection: Automatically choose a practical combination of periods based on the chart timeframe.
Custom periods can be used if disabling "Auto Selection". Available periods include:
- Minutes
- Hours
- Days (can be: Day of Week, Day of Month, Day of Year)
- Months
- Quarters
🔹 Summary
Method: Method used to obtain the expected value. Options include Mean (default) or Percentile.
Percentile: Percentile number used if "Method" is set to "Percentile". A value of 50 will effectively use a median for the expected value.
🔹 Forecast
Forecast Window: Number of bars ahead for which the expected volume is predicted.
Style: Style settings of the forecast.

Tick-Based Delta Volume BubblesTICK-BASED DELTA VOLUME BUBBLES
OVERVIEW
A real-time order flow indicator that displays volume delta at the tick level, helping traders identify buying and selling pressure as it develops during live market hours. Unlike traditional volume delta indicators that rely on bar close data, this indicator captures actual tick-by-tick volume changes and directional bias, providing granular insight into market dynamics.
HOW IT WORKS
The indicator monitors live tick data during real-time trading by tracking volume increases between consecutive price updates. Each time volume increments, the script calculates the volume delta, determines price direction, assigns directional bias to the volume, and accumulates net delta for each bar.
This methodology is identical to the tick detection mechanism used in professional cumulative volume delta tools, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
FEATURES
Real-Time Tick Detection
- Captures genuine tick-by-tick volume flow using varip persistence
- Not estimated from OHLC data
- Processes actual market ticks as they occur
Adaptive Bubble Sizing

IMPORTANT NOTES
Real-Time Only: This indicator processes live tick data and does not provide historical analysis. It begins collecting data when added to a live chart.
Volume Required: Symbol must have volume data available. Will not function on symbols without volume (most forex pairs from retail brokers).
Initialization Period: Requires the specified number of bars (default 20) to calculate accurate delta strength. Use the "Hide Until Ready" option to prevent premature signals.
Market Hours: Only collects data during live market hours. Does not backfill historical data.
CREDITS
Tick detection methodology inspired by the Kioseff Trading Tick CVD indicator. This implementation adapts the same core tick-level volume delta calculation for bubble-style visualization and per-bar delta analysis.
Adaptive Volume Delta Map---
📊 Adaptive Volume Delta Map (AVDM)
What is Adaptive Volume Delta Map (AVDM)?
The Adaptive Volume Delta Map (AVDM) is a smart, multi-timeframe indicator that visualizes buy and sell volume imbalances directly on the chart.
It adapts automatically to the best available data resolution (tick, second, minute, or daily), allowing traders to analyze market activity with micro-level precision .
In addition to calculating volume delta (the difference between buying and selling pressure), AVDM can display a Volume Distribution Map — a per-price-level visualization showing how volume is split between buyers and sellers.
Key Features
✅ Adaptive Resolution Selection — Automatically chooses the highest possible data granularity — from tick to daily timeframe.
✅ Volume Delta Visualization — Displays delta candles reflecting the dominance of buyers (green), sellers (red), and delta (orange).
✅ Per-Level Volume Map (optional) — Shows detailed buy/sell volume distribution per price level, grouped by `Ticks Per Row`.
✅ Bid/Ask Classification — When enabled, AVDM uses bid/ask logic to classify trade direction with greater accuracy.
✅ Smart Auto-Disable Protection — Automatically disables volume map if too many price levels (>50) are detected — preventing performance degradation.
Inputs Overview
Use Seconds Resolution — Enables use of second-level data (if your TradingView subscription allows it).
Use Tick Resolution — Enables tick-based analysis for the most detailed view. If available, enable both tick and seconds resolution.
Use Bid/Ask Calculated — Uses bid/ask midpoint logic to classify trades.
Show Volume Distribution — Toggles per-price-level buy/sell volume visualization.
Ticks Per Row — Controls how many ticks are grouped per volume level. Reduce this value for finer detail, or increase it to reduce visual load.
Calculated Bars — Sets how many historical bars the indicator should process. Higher value increases accuracy but may impact performance.
How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Ensure that your symbol provides volume data (and preferably tick or second-level data).
3. The indicator will automatically select the optimal timeframe for detailed calculation.
4. If your TradingView subscription allows second-level data , enable “Use Seconds Resolution.”
5. If your subscription allows tick-level data , enable both “Use Tick Resolution” and “Use Seconds Resolution.”
6. Adjust the “Calculated Bars” input to set how many historical bars the indicator should process.
7. Observe the Volume Delta Candles :
* Green = Buy pressure dominates
* Red = Sell pressure dominates
8. To see buy/sell clustering by price, enable “Show Volume Distribution.”
9. If the indicator disables the map and shows:
" Volume Distribution disabled: Too many price levels detected (>50). Try decreasing 'Ticks Per Row' or using a lower chart resolution. If you don’t care about the map, just turn off 'Show Volume Distribution'. "
— follow the instructions to reduce chart load.
Notes
* Automatically adapts to your chart’s resolution and data availability.
* If your symbol doesn’t provide volume data, a runtime warning will appear.
* Works best on futures , FX , and crypto instruments with high-frequency volume streams.

Heikin-Ashi Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)Heikin-Ashi Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
This indicator combines Heikin-Ashi calculations with a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to highlight trends in volume.
🔹 Heikin-Ashi Calculation – Smooths out price action to filter noise and provide a clearer trend signal.
🔹 Adjusted Volume Delta – Uses a dynamic threshold based on 10 SMA to reduce sensitivity and eliminate minor fluctuations, showing only meaningful shifts in buying and selling pressure.
🔹 Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) – Accumulates positive or negative volume depending on Heikin-Ashi candle direction, offering insight into underlying order flow.
🔹 EMA Trend Filters – Two user-adjustable EMAs (default: 20 & 50) applied to CVD, color-coded to indicate trend bias (green/red for short EMA, blue/orange for long EMA).
🔹 Visual Enhancements –
CVD plotted as coloured dots (green = bullish, red = bearish, grey = neutral).
EMA lines dynamically change colour with trend direction.
Price bars are recoloured to match the delta (green = buy pressure, red = sell pressure, grey = neutral).
Useful for spotting divergences between price and volume flow, identifying hidden accumulation/distribution, and confirming trend continuation or reversal signals.
Delta Volume BubblesDelta Volume Bubbles
Overview
The Delta Volume Bubbles indicator is an advanced order flow visualization tool that displays buying and selling pressure through dynamic bubble representations on your chart. Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show total volume, this indicator calculates the net delta volume (difference between buying and selling volume) and presents it as color-coded bubbles of varying sizes.
How It Works
Core Calculation Method
The indicator uses a sophisticated approach to estimate delta volume from standard OHLCV data:
1. Price Action Analysis: Analyzes the relationship between open, high, low, and close prices to determine market aggression
2. Body Ratio Calculation: body_ratio = |close - open| / (high - low)
3. Aggressive Factor: Applies multipliers based on price action:
- Strong moves (body_ratio > 0.7): 1.5x multiplier
- Moderate moves (body_ratio > 0.4): 1.2x multiplier
- Weak moves: 1.0x multiplier
4. Delta Volume Estimation:
- Buy Volume: price_change > 0 ? volume × aggressive_factor : 0
- Sell Volume: price_change < 0 ? volume × aggressive_factor : 0
- Net Delta: buy_volume - sell_volume
5. Delta Strength Normalization: delta_strength = |net_delta| / sma(volume, 20)
Percentile-Based Filtering
The indicator uses percentile filtering instead of fixed thresholds, making it adaptive to market conditions:
- Bubble Filter: Only shows bubbles when volume exceeds the specified percentile (default: 60%)
- Label Filter: Only displays numbers when volume exceeds a higher percentile (default: 90%)
- Dynamic Adaptation: Automatically adjusts to changing market volatility
Visual Elements
Bubble Sizes
- Tiny: Delta strength < 0.3
- Small: Delta strength 0.3 - 0.7
- Normal: Delta strength 0.7 - 1.2
- Large: Delta strength 1.2 - 2.0
- Huge: Delta strength > 2.0
Color Coding
- Aggressive Buy (Bright Green): Strong buying pressure with high body ratio
- Aggressive Sell (Bright Red): Strong selling pressure with high body ratio
- Passive Buy (Light Green): Moderate buying pressure
- Passive Sell (Light Red): Moderate selling pressure
Intensity Mode
Alternative coloring based on delta strength rather than flow direction:
- Gray: Low intensity (< 0.5)
- Blue: Medium intensity (0.5 - 1.0)
- Orange: High intensity (1.0 - 2.0)
- Red: Extreme intensity (> 2.0)
Parameters
Order Flow Settings
- Show Bubbles: Toggle bubble display on/off
- Bubble Volume %ile: Percentile threshold for bubble display (0-100%)
- Intensity Mode: Switch between flow-based and intensity-based coloring
Bubble Labels
- Show Numbers in Bubbles: Toggle numerical labels on/off
- Label Volume %ile: Higher percentile threshold for label display (0-100%)
Numbers are displayed in K-notation (e.g., 25000 → 25K, 1500000 → 1.5M) for better readability.
Ideal Usage Scenarios
Best Market Conditions
- High volume sessions: More accurate delta calculations
- Trending markets: Clear directional flow identification
- Breakout scenarios: Spot aggressive buying/selling at key levels
- Support/resistance testing: Identify accumulation vs distribution
Trading Applications
1. Entry Timing: Look for aggressive flow in your trade direction
2. Exit Signals: Watch for opposing aggressive flow
3. Trend Confirmation: Consistent flow direction confirms trends
4. Volume Climax: Huge bubbles may indicate exhaustion points
Optimization Tips
Parameter Adjustment
- Lower percentiles (40-60%): More bubbles, good for active markets
- Higher percentiles (70-90%): Fewer bubbles, focus on significant events
- Label percentile: Set 20-30% higher than bubble percentile for clarity
Visual Optimization
- Intensity mode: Better for identifying unusual volume spikes
- Flow mode: Better for directional bias analysis
- Label toggle: Turn off in crowded markets, on for key levels
Limitations
- Estimation-based: Uses approximation algorithms, not true order flow data
- Volume dependency: Requires accurate volume data to function properly
- Timeframe sensitivity: Works best on intraday timeframes with active volume
- Market hours: Most effective during high-volume trading sessions
Technical Notes
The indicator implements advanced Pine Script features including:
- Dynamic percentile calculations using ta.percentile_linear_interpolation()
- Conditional plotting with multiple size categories
- Custom number formatting functions
- Efficient label management to prevent display limits
This tool is designed for traders who want to understand the underlying buying and selling pressure beyond simple volume analysis, providing insights into market sentiment and potential turning points.
Volumetric Entropy IndexVolumetric Entropy Index (VEI)
A volume-based drift analyzer that captures directional pressure, trend agreement, and entropy structure using smoothed volume flows.
---
🧠 What It Does:
• Volume Drift EMAs : Shows buy/sell pressure momentum with adaptive smoothing.
• Dynamic Bands : Bollinger-style volatility wrappers react to expanding/contracting drift.
• Baseline Envelope : Clean structural white rails for mean-reversion zones or trend momentum.
• Background Shading : Highlights when both sides (up & down drift) are in agreement — green for bullish, red for bearish.
• Alerts Included : Drift alignment, crossover events, net drift shifts, and strength spikes.
---
🔍 What Makes It Different:
• Most volume indicators rely on bars, oscillators, or OBV-style accumulation — this doesn’t.
• It compares directional EMAs of raw volume to isolate real-time bias and acceleration.
• It visualizes the twisting tension between volume forces — not just price reaction.
• Designed to show when volatility is building inside the volume mechanics before price follows.
• Modular — every element is optional, so you can run it lean or fully loaded.
---
📊 How to Use It:
• Drift EMAs : Watch for one side consistently dominating — sharp spikes often precede breakouts.
• Bands : When they tighten and start expanding, it often signals directional momentum forming.
• Envelope Lines : Use as high-probability reversal or continuation zones. Bands crossing envelopes = potential thrust.
• Background Color : Green/red backgrounds confirm volume agreement. Can be used as a filter for other signals.
• Net Drift : Optional smoothed oscillator showing the difference between bullish and bearish volume pressure. Crosses above or below zero signal directional bias shifts.
• Drift Strength : Measures pressure buildup — spikes often correlate with large moves.

Volumetric Pivot Echo🔮 Volumetric Pivot Echo (VPE)
Future Price Projection Zones with Confidence Scoring
📘 Overview
The Volumetric Pivot Echo (VPE) is a next-generation leading indicator that identifies high-volume reversal points and echoes their price + time behavior into the future — giving you a visual forecast box that includes a confidence score, price range, and duration estimate.
It’s designed for swing and options traders who want forward guidance based on real structure, not just reactive signals.
⚙️ How It Works
Pivot Detection – Finds pivot highs/lows based on configurable bar structure.
Volume Confirmation – Only confirms pivots backed by strong volume (e.g., 1.5× average).
Echo Logic – Measures the price move and time it took to reach the pivot.
ATR Scaling – Adjusts projections based on current market volatility.
Confidence Score – Rates each projection (0–100%) based on structure match, volatility, and direction alignment.
📦 What Appears on Chart
Projection Box:
A forward-drawn rectangle from the current bar to the estimated future zone. The box's size and duration mirror the last valid momentum leg.
Box Label Text:
🔹 Range (projected move size)
⏱️ Duration (bars expected)
✅ Confidence %
VPH/VPL Markers:
Pivot highs and lows confirmed by volume, marked with “VPH” or “VPL”.
🎯 How to Trade with It
Use the box as a target zone for directional trades.
If price enters a box with >85% confidence, consider it a high-quality path projection.
Use with support/resistance confluence or entry systems.
Works especially well for swing trading, breakout setups, or options targeting.
🛠️ Recommended Settings
Box Transparency: Set Projection Up/Down Color to 90 (10% visible).
Text Color: Set to white for readability.
Volume Multiplier: Default 1.5x, increase in choppy markets.
Projection Duration: Start with 1.0x echo multiplier and fine-tune.
⏳ Timeframes & Accuracy
Timeframe Confidence Zones Most Reliable
15m – 1h Use 70–85% confidence scores
1h – 4h Sweet spot for balanced signals
1D – 1W Strongest historical echo tracking (>85% ideal)
✅ Key Features
Forward-looking, non-repainting logic
Clear visual projections — no guesswork
Confidence scoring built-in
ATR-adjusted — adapts to volatility
Works on any asset (stocks, crypto, FX)
🧠 Why It’s Unique
This is not a lagging oscillator or classic trend-following tool.
It’s a leading structure projection model — combining pivot behavior, volume intensity, and market volatility to sketch forward “echo zones” based on the past.
Volume Weighted Sign ChangeThe VWSCI measures the relationship between price reversals and volume. Specifically, it calculates the proportion of total volume in a given window that occurs at bars where the price changes direction—i.e., where the price difference switches from positive to negative or vice versa, indicating a local maximum or minimum.
• Low VWSCI values (close to 0) suggest that little volume is associated with price reversals, which typically occurs in strong trending markets where price moves consistently in one direction with high volume, and pullbacks (if any) occur on low volume.
• High VWSCI values (closer to 100) indicate that a significant portion of the volume is tied to price turning points, which is characteristic of a ranging or choppy market with frequent reversals.
This approach combines price action (via sign changes in price differences) and volume, offering a novel twist on traditional momentum or volume-based indicators like RSI, OBV, or the Volume-Price Trend.
Volume Trend Signals | iSolani
Volume Trend Signals | iSolani: Syncing Price Momentum with Volume Confirmation
In the dance between price action and volume, discerning true trend commitment requires seeing how institutional players vote with their capital. The Volume Trend Signals | iSolani illuminates this interplay by generating precise crossover signals when volume-accelerated price movements gain sustained traction. Unlike conventional volume oscillators, it employs a two-layered confirmation system —blending volatility-adjusted thresholds with adaptive smoothing—to spotlight high-probability entries aligned with smart-money activity.
Core Methodology
The indicator executes a five-phase process to filter meaningful trends:
Logarithmic Price Scaling: Measures percentage-based price changes via HLC3 typical price, reducing large-value bias in volatile markets.
Volatility Dynamic Filter: Uses a 30-bar standard deviation of price changes, scaled by user sensitivity (default 2x), to set momentum thresholds.
Volume Governance: Caps raw volume at 3x its 40-bar SMA, neutralizing outlier spikes while preserving institutional footprints.
Directional Flow Accumulation: Sums volume as positive/negative based on whether price movement breaches volatility-derived boundaries.
Signal Refinement: Smooths the Volume Flow Indicator (VFI) with a 3-bar SMA, then triggers alerts via crosses over a 20-bar EMA signal line.
Breaking New Ground
This tool introduces three evolutionary improvements over traditional volume indicators:
EMA Convergence Signals: Unlike basic zero-cross systems, it requires VFI to overtake its own EMA, confirming sustained momentum shifts.
Context-Aware Volume: The 3x volume cap adapts to current market activity, preventing false signals during news-driven liquidity spikes.
Minimalist Visual Alerts: Uses and symbols below/above candles, reducing chart clutter while emphasizing pivotal moments.
Engine Under the Hood
The script’s logic flows through four computational stages:
Data Conditioning: Computes HLC3 and its log-based rate of change for normalized price analysis.
Threshold Calibration: Derives dynamic entry/exit levels from 30-period volatility multiplied by user sensitivity.
Volume Processing: Filters and signs volume based on price meeting threshold criteria.
Signal Generation: Triggers buy/sell labels when the 3-bar SMA of cumulative flow crosses the 20-bar EMA.
Standard Configuration
Optimized defaults balance responsiveness and reliability:
VFI Length: 40-bar accumulation window
Sensitivity: 2.0 (double the volatility-derived threshold)
Signal Smoothing: 20-bar EMA
Volume Cap: 3x average (hidden parameter)
Smoothing: Enabled (3-bar SMA on VFI)
By fusing adaptive volume filtering with EMA-confirmed momentum, the Volume Trend Signals | iSolani cuts through market noise to reveal institutional-grade trend inflection points. Its unique crossover logic—prioritizing confirmation over speed—makes it particularly effective in swing trading and trend-following strategies across equities, commodities, and forex markets.
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.
Freak VolumeFreak Volume is a technical indicator designed to identify bars with exceptionally high trading volume. It operates by calculating the mean volume over a specified period and determines high volume thresholds using both multiples of the mean and standard deviations from this mean.
High Volume Identification:
Standard Deviation Threshold: Bars with volume exceeding a specified number of standard deviations above the mean are highlighted within the indicator and on the corresponding candlesticks on the chart.
Mean Multiple Threshold: Bars with volume exceeding a multiple of the average volume are also highlighted. This highlighting is secondary to the standard deviation threshold, meaning standard deviation-based highlights take precedence.
Price Range Plotting: The indicator offers an option to display the price range of high volume candles, which may serve as potential supply and demand zones or support and resistance levels.
Freak Volume assists traders in visually identifying significant volume spikes that could indicate important market activity or potential turning points by providing multiple methods of high volume detection.

Normalization of Volume: Users can input a multiplier to adjust the normalization of volume. This is useful when analyzing assets with differing price and volume ranges.
Input of 1 means 1 Million volume will be marked with green color of opacity 1 and 2 Million as 2 and so on. In case you are looking at chart with very high volume, you might want to increase the multiplies
Default multiplier is set to 1, and can be customized for different scales.
Volume Visualization: The volume is displayed on the chart as background boxes behind price levels, with the opacity of the boxes changing based on the normalized volume. This helps to quickly visualize areas of high and low trading activity.
This script is ideal for investors who wish to enhance their volume analysis by visualizing it directly on price levels in a clear, normalized format.
Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge [By MUQWISHI]▋ INTRODUCTION :
The Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge is developed to provide traders with a detailed analysis of volume in bars using a low timeframe, such as a 1-second interval, to measure the dominance of buy and sell for each bar. By highlighting the balance between buying and selling activities, the Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge helps traders identify potential volume momentum of a bar; aimed at being a useful tool for day traders and scalpers.
_______________________
▋ OVERVIEW:
_______________________
▋ METHODOLOGY:
The concept is based on bars from a lower timeframe within the current chart timeframe bar, where volume is categorized into Up, Down, and Neutral Volume, with each one displayed as a portion of a column plot. Up Volume is recorded when the price experiences a positive change, Down Volume occurs when the price experiences a negative change, and Neutral Volume is observed when the price shows no significant change.
_______________________
▋ INDICATOR SETTINGS:
(1) Fetch data from the selected lower timeframe. Note: If the selected timeframe is invalid (higher than chart), the indicator will automatically switch to 1 second.
(2) Price Source.
(3) Treating Neutral Data (Price Source) as
Neutral: In a lower timeframe, when the bar has no change in its price, the volume is counted as Neutral Volume.
Previous Move: In a lower timeframe, when the bar has no change in its price, the volume is counted as the previous change; “Up Volume” if the previous change was positive, and “Down Volume” if the previous change was negative.
Opposite Previous Move: In a lower timeframe, when the bar has no change in its price, the volume is counted as the opposite previous change; “Up Volume” if the previous change was negative, and “Down Volume” if the previous change was positive.
(4) Average Volume Length, it's used for lighting/darkening columns in a plot.
(5) Enable Alert.
(7) Total bought (%) Level.
(8) Total Sold (%) Level.
_____________________
▋ COMMENT:
The Buy-Sell Volume Bar Gauge can be taken as confirmation for predicting the next move, but it should not be considered a major factor in making a trading decision.
KillZones & Sessions [TradingFinder] Volume | Asia, London & NY🔵 Introduction
🟣 Session
The forex market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, with only Saturdays and Sundays being off; traders often focus on one of the forex trading sessions instead of trying to trade in all markets 24 hours a day.
Trading sessions are time intervals during which a specific financial market is active and trades are conducted. The Asia, London, and New York sessions are the most important trading sessions throughout the 24-hour period, during which a significant amount of money and liquidity enters the market.
🟣 Kill Zone
Traders in financial markets profit from the difference between the price at which they buy or sell and the current market price. Traders have different time horizons for trading.
Among these, some traders engage in daily or even hourly trading and must operate during times when the market has desirable trading volumes and significant price movements.
Kill zones are segments of a session with higher trading volumes and price fluctuations compared to the rest of the session.
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Session Time
The "Asia Session" consists of two sessions: "Sydney" and "Tokyo." The beginning of this session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 23:00 and ends at 06:00. Similarly, the beginning of the "Asia KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 23:00, and it ends at 03:55.
The "London Session" consists of two sessions: "Frankfurt" and "London." The beginning of this session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 07:00, and it ends at 14:25. Similarly, the beginning of the "London KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 07:00, and it ends at 09:55.
The beginning of the "New York am" session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 14:30, and it ends at 19:25. Similarly, the beginning of the "New York am KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 14:30, and it ends at 16:55.
The beginning of the "New York pm" session, according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 19:30, and it ends at 22:55. Similarly, the beginning of the "New York pm KillZone," according to the "UTC" time zone, is at 19:30, and it ends at 20:55.
Important : To prevent session overlap, the working hours of each session have slightly changed.
🔵 Features

Price Range Volume Profile [Pt]█ Introduction
The Price Range Volume Profile (PRVP) is a revolutionary indicator. This tool stands out from its peers due to its unique ability to capture the entire price chart history, thus providing a comprehensive volume profile of the entire asset's trading history, as available on TradingView chart. It's worth noting that I believe this tool is the first of its kind to accomplish such a feat. A much recommended tool if you are a volume profile trader.
█ Main Features
► Historical Lookback: This feature dives deep into the past, grasping all the historical data of an asset. It's equipped to handle up to 20,000 bars, although users without a premium TradingView account are advised to keep it at a maximum of 10,000 bars, or just use the "Full Historical Lookback" feature.
► Volume Profile / POC: Displays the distribution of volume across price levels for the selected price range. The Point of Control (POC), which is the price level with the highest traded volume, is also highlighted.
► Customization: Users have the flexibility to adjust the profile's appearance, including profile width, horizontal offset, and the option to fill the background of the profile range.
► Time Weighting: This feature allows users to give more weight to recent trading activity, which can be especially useful for intraday traders or during times of high volatility. Note that this feature will impact the volume profile and POC level.
► Settings Table: A settings table is displayed on the chart for users to quickly reference their input parameters.
█ Input Parameters
► Lookback Timeframe: Determines the period for which the volume profile is generated.
► Price Range: The percentage distance to consider for the profile, adjusted above and below the current closing price.
► Profile Step size: The granularity of the volume profile. Users can opt for automatic step size based on a predefined calculation or set their preferred tick step size.
► Historical Bars Lookback: Determines the number of bars to include in the volume profile calculation.
► Profile Visuals: Adjust the appearance and layout of the volume profile on the chart.
► Extra: Additional settings including the display of a settings table and its location.
█ Basic Understanding of Volume Profile - How to use PRVP?
Volume Profile is a valuable tool for traders who want insights into where the majority of trading activity has occurred. Here are some tips to make the most of it:
► Understand the Basics: Before using the Volume Profile, ensure you understand the difference between it and the standard volume histogram. While both represent volume, the former displays it against price while the latter shows it against time.
► Identify High Volume Nodes (HVN) and Low Volume Nodes (LVN):
◊ HVN: Areas where there's a lot of trading activity and where the price has spent a lot of time. These areas can act as strong support or resistance.
◊ LVN: Areas where there's a lack of trading activity. Prices might move quickly through these areas, and they can act as potential breakpoints or accelerators for price movement.
► Locate the Point of Control (POC): This is the price level with the highest traded volume for a specified period. It often acts as a magnet for price, and it can serve as a pivot or reference point.
► Trend Confirmation: A shift in the volume profile from one price level to another can confirm a trend. For instance, if higher volume starts to build at higher price levels, it may indicate a strong uptrend.
► Watch for Volume Gaps: If there's a significant gap in the volume profile, prices may move quickly through these levels as there's little historical trading activity to act as support or resistance.
█ Other Usage Tips
◊ For optimal performance, ensure that the chosen timeframe aligns closely with the chart timeframe. Differences in timeframes may lead to minor discrepancies in the volume profile.
◊ To address any errors arising from too many levels displayed on the volume profile, consider increasing the Profile Step size or reducing the Price Range.
improved volumeIt is an indicator that displays the trading volume.
Red-colored candle bars indicate a decrease in trading volume.
Green-colored candle bars indicate an increase in trading volume.
The transparent yellow cloud above the volume bars represents the 21-bar moving average volume, which shows the average volume over the specified period. (You can change the number of bars and the type of moving average from the indicator settings.)
This allows for easier comparison between the current trading volume and the average volume.
In the price scale section, there are 4 target levels. They represent the following in ascending order: Average volume, Average volume multiplied by 2, Average volume multiplied by 3, Average volume multiplied by 4.
Additionally, you can use the alarm feature based on these average volume levels.
Volume Profile Regression Channel [LuxAlgo]The Volume Profile Regression Channel calculates a volume profile from an anchored linear regression channel. Users can choose the starting and ending points for the indicator calculation interval.
Like a regular volume profile, a "line" of control (LOC), value area, and a developing LOC are displayed.
🔶 SETTINGS
Sections: The number of sections the linear regression channel is divided into for the calculation of the volume profile.
Width %: Determines the length of the profile within the channel relative to the channel length.
Value Area %: Highlights the sections starting from the POC whose accumulated volume is equal to the user-defined percentage of the total profile sections volume.
🔶 USAGES
Regular volume profiles are often constructed from a horizontal price area, this can allow highlighting price areas where most trading activity takes place.
However, when price is strongly trending a classical volume profile can sometimes be more uniform. This is where using an angled volume profile can be useful.
The line of control allows highlighting the section of the channel with the most accumulated volume, this line can be used as a potential future support/resistance. This is where an angled volume profile might be the most useful.
The developing LOC highlights the LOC location at a specific time within the profile (from left to right) and can sometimes provide an estimate of the underlying trend in the price.
🔶 DETAILS
To be computed the script requires a left and right chart time coordinates. When adding the script to their charts users can determine the left and right time coordinates by clicking on the chart.
The linear regression channel width is determined so that the channel precisely encompasses the whole price.
🔶 LIMITATIONS
Using a very large calculation interval can return timeouts. Users can reduce the calculation interval to fix that issue from occurring.
The amount of drawing objects that can be used is limited, as such using a high calculation interval can display an incomplete profile.
🔶 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
If you are interested in these types of scripts, @HeWhoMustNotBeNamed published a similar script where users can use a custom line angle. See his 'Angled Volume Profile' script from March 2023.
Import Forex Volume from 5 biggest FX Brokers (single/combined) Some Brokers like Forex.com don't show Volume for FX. This indicator allows user to import Volume from a range of FX brokers that DO show volume
-Combine the reported volumes from all five brokers: FXCM, GLOBALPRIME, PEPPERSTONE, Currency.com, OANDA. Or pick a specific broker to import volume from.
-Image above shows combined Volume from the big 5 brokers, with added notes on the 2yr average of various broker's volumes; showing their size in descending order.
-Works across timeframes & FX pairs. Standard color formatting options Added.
//notes:
~default settings pull/combine volume from all 5 brokers. History goes back to Sept 2019 (due to GlobalPrime's later start date in publishing Volume data).
~~toggle ON 'only show FXCM, Pepperstone & Oanda' for a LONGER history, going back to June 2012.
~individual broker feeds: top checkbox toggled OFF, choose your preferred broker.
~~FXCM has both the longest history and the highest volume size of all the brokers.
~Table (toggle on/off) shows the broker feed (which broker(s) volume is on display) and the SMA 100 to give an idea of relative size.
//Cautionary note:
Volume is not as reliable in Forex as it is in Equities/commodities, due to unreported Inter-bank trades; the broker volumes do not give the full picture, but this is a best approximation of combined total volume based on brokers reported volume. The true volume will likely be much higher.
-Thank you @theEccentricTrader for the idea of pulling volume feed from other brokers.
Intraday predictive High Volume Activity sessions [BEA]Idea:
This indicator is designed to know the high traded volume sessions in advance before the day starts.
The predictive volume bars will be plotted in advance once a new trading session starts.
Logic Used:
The basic idea is to store each bar volume / Volume MA data for the selected time. So, the first bar of each data is stored for all selected historical days.
Once the data is stored, I am taking average of each bar data for the selected Historical days.
How to Use:
This gives me an idea of the volume behavior throughout the days based on historical data. So I decide my time of trading for that specific times sessions where the traded volume activity is high.
The bars which are more than the Moving average ( Highlighted Volume bars plotted in future ) is the time session to focus.
Designed only for intraday timeframes.
Here in the image, you can see the session in advance for high traded volume activity.
Try it test it , let me know if it can be improved further.
Have a happy trading.

Effective Volume (Willain)This is the Effective Volume using the Average Separation Method
Excerpt:
The most obvious way to separate Large from Small Effective Volume is to calculate the per-minute average Effective Volume exchanged for all the
minutes of the day where a price inflection was found. The volume above that average is called Large Effective Volume (pg. 67)
Looks at the Close(n) to Close(n-1)/h-c*vol and registers it if its above 30% of total volume.

Best Bulls Bears Volume trend Breakout V2 [badshah_e_alam]This is a intraday indicator. Only to be used on timeframe less than daily charts.
This indicator purely uses volume to plot the graph. The indicator helps in conforming a breakout strategy.
This indicator is advanced version of my previously developed indicator you can check this link
Total volume is made up of buying volume and selling volume . Buying volume is the number of shares, contracts, or lots that were associated with green bars, and selling volume is the number that were associated with red bars.
The labels on the right side are the current bar value and that days bulls /bears weightage.
the first value shows the current bar volume.
second value show the bulls weight in %
third value show the bears weightage throughout the day ( %)
The Blue plot in graph keeps the track of bulls movement in intraday( %)
The Red plot in graph keeps the track of bears movement in intraday ( %)
X axis is time.
Y axis ranges from 100 to -100
I use 1:2 risk to reward ratio. Do your own research.
**not a financial advice**
Example of price increasing, volume decreasing
this indicator can be used for confirming a breakout strategy with bulls or bears in action. In the current example, the buyer’s volume percentage is reducing and the price is increasing throughout the day. Hence a breakout of the trendline is confirmation of a short trade.
Example of Price reducing, volume decreasing
example of price moving down , bears losing the grip
Example of price decreasing volume increasing
Thanks to nizar9599 for giving idea to improve my previous indicator.
