ICT HTF Volume Candles (Based on HTF Candles by Fadi)# ICT HTF Volume Candles - Multi-Timeframe Volume Analysis
## Overview
This indicator provides multi-timeframe volume visualization designed to complement price action analysis. It displays volume data from up to 6 higher timeframes simultaneously in a separate panel, allowing traders to identify volume spikes, divergences, and institutional activity without switching between timeframes.
**Original Concept Credits:** This indicator builds upon the HTF Candles framework by Fadi, adapting it specifically for volume analysis with enhanced features including gap-filling for extended hours, multiple scaling methods, and advanced synchronization.
## What Makes This Script Original
### Key Innovations:
1. **Three Volume Scaling Methods:**
- **Per-HTF Auto Scale:** Each timeframe scales independently for detailed comparison
- **Global Auto Scale:** All timeframes use unified scale for relative volume comparison
- **Manual Scale:** User-defined maximum for consistent analysis across sessions
2. **Bullish/Bearish Volume Differentiation:**
- Volume bars colored based on price movement (close vs open)
- Separate styling for bullish (green) and bearish (red) volume periods
- Helps identify whether volume supports price direction
3. **Advanced Time Synchronization:**
- Custom daily candle open times (Midnight, 8:30 AM, 9:30 AM ET)
- Timezone-aware calculations for New York trading hours
- Real-time countdown timers for each timeframe
- **Gap-filling technology** for continuous display during extended hours and weekends
4. **Flexible Display Options:**
- Configurable spacing and positioning
- Label placement (top, bottom, or both)
- Day-of-week or time interval labels on candles
- Works reliably in backtesting and live trading
## How It Works
### Volume Calculation
The indicator uses `request.security()` with optimized parameters to fetch volume data from higher timeframes:
- **Volume Open/High/Low/Close (OHLC):** Tracks volume changes within each HTF candle
- **Color Logic:** Compares HTF close vs open prices to determine bullish/bearish classification
- **Alignment:** All volume bars share a common baseline for easy visual comparison
- **Gap Handling:** Uses `gaps=barmerge.gaps_off` to maintain continuity during non-trading hours
### Technical Implementation
```
1. Monitors HTF timeframe changes using request.security() with lookahead
2. Creates new VolumeCandle object when HTF bar opens
3. Updates current candle's volume H/L/C on each chart bar
4. Applies selected scaling method to normalize display height
5. Repositions all candles and labels on each bar update
6. Fills gaps automatically during extended hours for consistent display
```
### Scaling Methods Explained
**Method 1 - Auto Scale per HTF:**
Each timeframe displays volume relative to its own maximum. Best for identifying patterns within each individual timeframe.
**Method 2 - Global Auto Scale:**
All timeframes share the same scale based on the highest volume across all HTFs. Best for comparing relative volume strength between timeframes.
**Method 3 - Manual Scale:**
User sets maximum volume value. Best for maintaining consistent scale across different trading sessions or instruments.
## How to Use This Indicator
### Setup
1. Add indicator to your chart (it appears in a separate panel below price)
2. Configure up to 6 higher timeframes (default: 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W)
3. Set number of candles to display for each timeframe
4. Choose volume scaling method based on your analysis needs
5. Enable "Fix gaps in non-trading hours" for extended hours trading (enabled by default)
### Interpretation
**Volume Spikes:**
- Sudden increase in volume height indicates institutional activity or strong conviction
- Compare volume between timeframes to identify where the real money is moving
- Look for volume spikes that appear across multiple timeframes simultaneously
**Bullish vs Bearish Volume:**
- **Green volume bars:** Price closed higher (buying pressure)
- **Red volume bars:** Price closed lower (selling pressure)
- High green volume during uptrend = confirmation of strength
- High red volume during downtrend = confirmation of weakness
- High volume opposite to trend = potential reversal warning
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- **5m/15m:** Scalping and day trading activity
- **1H/4H:** Swing trading and intraday institutional flows
- **Daily/Weekly:** Major position building and long-term trends
**Divergences:**
- Price making new highs but volume declining = weakening trend
- Volume increasing while price consolidates = potential breakout brewing
- Price breaks level but volume doesn't confirm = likely false breakout
### Practical Examples
**Example 1 - Institutional Confirmation:**
Price breaks above resistance. Check volume across timeframes:
- 5m shows spike = retail interest
- 15m + 1H + 4H all show spikes = institutional confirmation
- **Trade confidence: HIGH**
**Example 2 - False Breakout Detection:**
Price breaks resistance with:
- High volume on 5m only
- Normal/low volume on 1H and 4H
- **Interpretation:** Likely retail trap, institutions not participating
- **Action:** Wait for pullback or avoid
**Example 3 - Accumulation Phase:**
Price ranges sideways but:
- Daily volume gradually increasing
- Weekly volume above average
- **Interpretation:** Smart money accumulating
- **Action:** Prepare for breakout in direction of volume
**Example 4 - Volume Divergence:**
Price makes new high:
- Current high has lower volume than previous high across all timeframes
- **Interpretation:** Weakening momentum
- **Action:** Consider profit-taking or reversal trade
## Configuration Parameters
### Timeframe Settings
- **HTF 1-6:** Select timeframes (must be higher than chart timeframe)
- **Max Display:** Number of candles to show per timeframe (1-50)
- **Limit to Next HTFs:** Display only first N enabled timeframes (1-6)
### Styling
- **Bull/Bear Colors:** Separate colors for body, border, and wick
- **Padding from current candles:** Distance offset from live price action
- **Space between candles:** Gap between individual volume bars
- **Space between Higher Timeframes:** Gap between different timeframe groups
- **Candle Width:** Thickness of volume bars (1-4, multiplied by 2)
### Volume Settings
- **Volume Scale Method:** Choose 1, 2, or 3
- 1 = Auto Scale per HTF (each TF independent)
- 2 = Global Auto Scale (all TF unified)
- 3 = Manual Scale (user-defined max)
- **Auto Scale Volume:** Enable/disable automatic scaling
- **Manual Scale Max Volume:** Set maximum when using Method 3

- **Open Time Options:**
- **Midnight:** Standard 00:00 ET daily open
- **8:30 AM:** Align with economic data releases
- **9:30 AM:** Align with NYSE market open
- Useful for specific trading strategies or market alignment
### Advanced Settings
- **Fix gaps in non-trading hours:** Maintains alignment during extended hours and weekends (recommended: ON)
- Prevents visual gaps during forex weekend closures
- Ensures consistent display during crypto 24/7 trading
- Improves backtesting reliability
## Best Practices
1. **Pair with Price Action:** Use alongside HTF price candles indicator for complete picture
2. **Start Simple:** Enable 2-3 timeframes initially (e.g., 15m, 1H, 4H), add more as needed
3. **Match Settings:** Use same candle width/spacing as companion price indicator for visual alignment
4. **Scale Appropriately:**
- Use **Global scale** (Method 2) when comparing timeframes
- Use **Per-HTF scale** (Method 1) for pattern analysis within each timeframe
- Use **Manual scale** (Method 3) for consistent day-to-day comparison
5. **Watch for Volume Clusters:** High volume appearing simultaneously across multiple HTFs signals significant market events
6. **Confirm Breakouts:** Always check if volume supports the price movement across higher timeframes
7. **Extended Hours:** Keep "Fix gaps" enabled for 24/7 markets (Forex, Crypto) and weekend analysis
## Technical Notes
- **Timezone:** All calculations use America/New_York timezone for consistency
- **Real-time Updates:** Volume and timers update on each tick during market hours
- **Performance:** Optimized with max_bars_back=5000 for extensive historical analysis
- **Compatibility:** Works on all instruments with volume data (Stocks, Forex, Crypto, Futures)

Project Pegasus ChronosDescription
Project Pegasus Chronos is the flagship volume-intelligence overlay of the Pegasus suite, built for traders who read the tape. It spots where the tape gets hit, where moves get absorbed, and when pressure flips — in real time, without repainting. Chronos blends high-signal volume spikes, absorption, pure-delta mismatches, and two crisp market-pressure HUDs into one surgical visualization that stays readable even on noisy charts.
What’s unique
Layered volume intelligence that cuts through noise: spikes, absorption, delta traps, trend bias, and pressure — at a glance.
Absorption Engine – Proprietary scoring of wick/body/delta context to flag “hit & hold” moments where moves stall.
Pure-Delta Mismatch Bubbles – Instantly reveal fake strength or weakness when the candle fights the tape.
Mirage Filters (Add-on) – Smart VolSpike & PriceClamp regime tags (squeeze vs. burst) for clean entries and exits.
Pegasus TrendDynamic – Adaptive bias band with one-look flips and optional shadow fill for context.
Dual HUDs – Buy/Sell Volume HUD and Market Pressure HUD with a Shock badge for sudden impulses.
Readable by Design – Color presets, clustering, absolute filters, and performance scopes (12/24/48/72H) keep charts fast & clean.
Non-repainting – Signals are produced only on confirmed bars; no lookahead.
How it works
Chronos aggregates recent market behavior into simple, decisive visuals:
Bubbles scale by spike tier and direction to highlight initiative participation.
Absorption marks flag bars where flow hits and fails to push through.
Pure-delta markers expose liquidity traps (delta vs. candle color).
TrendDynamic provides a smooth, adaptive bias rail.
HUDs quantify who’s pressing harder and when a shock event fires.
How to use
Stalk large bubbles near key levels; pair them with absorption marks to time fades or continuations.
Treat pure-delta mismatches as early trap signals — especially near session highs/lows or FVGs.
Trade in alignment with the TrendDynamic bias; use Market Pressure HUD & Shock to time adds or cuts.
Refine visuals via clustering and absolute-volume filters on fast instruments.
Notes & limitations
Built for intraday futures, crypto, and FX — but works across assets and timeframes.
If visuals get heavy, use scope, clustering, and filters to keep it buttery smooth.
Analysis and visualization tool — not a signal service.

Volumetric Compressed MAVCMA (Volumetric Compressed Moving Average) uses the compressor and weighted standard deviation functions originally translated to pinescript by @gorx1 to plot moving averages in order to use for entry confirmation.
🔹 Concepts and Idea:
When we do music we always use different kinds of filters (low-pass, high pass, etc) for equalization and filtering itself. That stuff we use in finance as well. What we also always use in music are compressors, there dynamic processors that automatically adjust volume so it will be more consistent. Almost all the cool music you hear is compressed (both individual instruments (especially vocals) and the whole track afterwards), otherwise stuff will be too quite and too weak to flex on it, and also DJing it would be a nightmare.
🔹 Model:
I don't wanna explain it all in statistical / DSP way for once.
First of all, I think the population of volumes is log-normally distributed, so let's take logs of volumes, now we have a ~ normally distributed data. We take linearly weighted mean, add and subtract linearly weighted standard deviation from it, these would be our thresholds, the borders between different kinds of volumes explained before.
The upper threshold is for downward compression, that will not let volume pass it higher.
The lower threshold is for upward compression, all the volumes lower than this threshold will be brought up to the threshold's level.
Then we apply multipliers to the thresholds in order to adjust em and find the sweet spots. We do it the same way as in sound engineering when we don't aim for overcompression, we adjust the thresholds until they start to touch the signal and all good.
Afterwards, we delete all the number 1 and number 3 volume, leaving us exclusively with the clear main component, ready to be processed further.
We return the volumes to dem real scale.
For more info on Volume Compression it's highly advised to check @gorx1's initial script Volume Compressor
🔹 Settings:
MA Type: Moving average type to be used for comparison after calculating the compressed version of volume. This creates the second line after the compression line, so we can consider crossovers for confirmation entries.
Upward threshold: Upward threshold where the compression of volume is calculated. Increasing usually causes smoother lines.
Downward threshold: Downward threshold where the compression of volume is calculated. Decreasing usually causes smoother lines.
Compression Lookback: The Main lookback window of a volume that is used for compression. Increasing this would provide smoother lines but might cause delayed signals. Decreasing means more signals, but might cause whiplash and distorted signals.
Comparative Lookback: This is our lookback to be used with our ma type selection. There is no static better or worse lookback value for this indicator. It should be adjusted based on the pair.
🔹 Where to use:
This indicator should be used as another confirmation tool for your entry signals in your existing strategy/market following combination. Green dots (crossovers) mean bullish movement is expected, and red dots (crossbounders) mean bearish movement is expected. Automated crossover alerts are available. A reminder is that this kind of indicator should not be used on its own for trading, but rather should be used as a confirmation along with your trend detection and main entry indicators to provide additional confidence.
If you want to know under the hood, read the How it works section below.
🔹 How it works:
//This is our main compression calculation, which is used for the first line.
Compressed_out = compressor(volume, len_window, up_thresh, down_thresh)
//This is the secondary ratio calculation that we use for the second line.
Comp_ma = ma(ma_type, close * compressed_out, len_ml) / ma(ma_type, compressed_out, len_ml)
Vwma = ma(ma_type, close, len_window)
We calculate the ratio of the compressed volume and plot it against the base MA. Base MA's length is determined by the Compression Lookback input compared to the Comperative Lookback that is used for the compressed version. This provides us with another possible confirmation indicator that can be used to take advantage of volume ranges.
Volume Demand & Supply IndicatorTitle: VDS - Volume Demand & Supply Indicator
Description:
The VDS (Volume Demand & Supply) Indicator is a powerful analysis tool designed for traders who rely on understanding volume to make informed decisions. Unlike traditional volume indicators, VDS goes beyond just showing total volume by separating it into Up Volume and Down Volume, giving you a clear view of the buying and selling pressure in the market.
Key Features:
Precise Volume Analysis: The indicator scans data from lower timeframes to more accurately approximate up and down volume, providing you with detailed insights into market dynamics.
Identify Buying vs. Selling Pressure:
Up Volume: Represents the volume traded when the price rises, indicating dominant buying power.
Down Volume: Represents the volume traded when the price falls, indicating significant selling pressure.
Volume Moving Average (MA): A volume moving average is included to help you easily identify normal versus abnormal market activity, which is crucial for spotting strong trends and breakouts.
Delta Signal: The small "Delta" character indicates the difference between up volume and down volume. A green delta suggests buying dominance (demand), while a red delta points to selling dominance (supply).
Customizable: You have the ability to customize the lower timeframe used for analysis, allowing you to tailor the indicator to your specific trading strategy and style.
How to Trade with the VDS Indicator?
The VDS indicator isn't just a data visualization tool; it's a practical guide that can be used to confirm or deny trading signals. Here are a few suggested strategies:
Confirming Breakouts:
When the price breaks above a key resistance level, look for a significant increase in Up Volume. This confirms the breakout is genuine and supported by strong buying power.
A breakout with weak volume might be a "fakeout" and should be treated with caution.
Validating Trends:
In an Uptrend: You should consistently see the Up Volume (green columns) higher than the Down Volume (red columns). This shows that buyers are in control.
In a Downtrend: You should consistently see the Down Volume higher than the Up Volume, indicating sellers are dominant.
Detecting Trend Weakness (Divergence):
If the price is making new highs but the Up Volume is decreasing, it could signal a weakening of buying pressure, potentially leading to a trend reversal.
The opposite is true in a downtrend: if the price is making new lows but the Down Volume is weakening, a reversal may be imminent.
Using the Delta Signal for Reversals:
When the Delta signal turns from red to green at a price low (near a support level), it can confirm the beginning of new buying strength.
When the Delta turns from green to red at a price high (near a resistance level), it can confirm the start of new selling pressure.
The VDS indicator is a valuable addition to any trading strategy, adding a new dimension to volume analysis and helping traders understand what's really happening behind price movements.
VWAP Multi-TimeframeThis is a multi-timeframe VWAP indicator that provides volume weighted average price calculations for the following time periods:
15min
30min
1H
2H
4H
6H
8H
12H
1D
1W
1M
3M
6M
1Y
You can use the lower timeframes for short term trend control areas and use the longer timeframes for long term trend control areas. Trade in the direction of the trend and watch for price reactions that you can trade when price gets close to or touches any of these levels.
This indicator will provide a data plot value of 1 for bullish when price is above all VWAPs that are turned on, -1 for bearish when price is below all VWAPs that are turned on and 0 for neutral when price is not above or below all VWAPs. Use this 1, -1, 0 value as a filter on your signal generating indicators so that you can prevent signals from coming in unless they are in the same direction as the VWAP trend.
Features
Trend direction value of 1, -1 or 0 to send to external indicators so you can filter your signal generating indicators using the VWAP trend.
Trend table that shows you whether price is above or below all of the major VWAPs. This includes the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly VWAPs.
Trend coloring between each VWAP and the close price of each candle so you can easily identify the trend direction.
Customization
Set the source value to use for all of the VWAP calculations. The default is HLC3.
Turn on or off each VWAP.
Change the color of each VWAP line.
Change the thickness of each VWAP line.
Turn on or off labels for each VWAP or turn all labels on or off at once.
Change the offset length from the current bar to the label text.
Change the label text color.
Turn on or off trend coloring for each VWAP.
Change the color for up trends and down trends.
Turn on or off the trend direction display table.
Change the location of the trend direction display table.
Adjust the background and text colors on the trend direction display table.
How To Use The Trend Direction Filtering Feature
The indicator will provide a data plot value of 1 for bullish when price is above all of the VWAPs that are turned on, a value of -1 for bearish when price is below all of the VWAPS that are turned on and a value of 0 for neutral when price is above and below some of the VWAPs that are turned on.
The name of the value to use with your external indicators will show up as: VWAP Multi-Timeframe: Trend Direction To Send To External Indicators
Make sure to use that as your source on your external indicators to get the correct values.
This 1, -1 or 0 value can then be used by another external indicator to tell the indicator what is allowed to do. For instance if you have another indicator that provides buy and sell signals, you can use this trend direction value to prevent your other indicator from giving a sell signal when the VWAP trend is bullish or prevent your other indicator from giving a buy signal when the VWAP trend is bearish.
You will need to program your other indicators to use this trend filtering feature, but this indicator is already set up with this filtering code so you can use it with any other indicator that you choose to filter(if you know how to customize pine script).
Markets You Can Use This Indicator On
This indicator uses volume and price to calculate values, so it will work on any chart that provides volume and price data.
ATAI Triangles — Volume-Based & Price Pattern Analysis (v1.01)ATAI Triangles — Volume-Based & Price Pattern Analysis (v1.01)
Overview
ATAI Triangles identifies two synchronized triangle structures — Hi-Lo-Hi (HLH) and Lo-Hi-Lo (LHL) — and analyzes them both geometrically and volumetrically. For each triangle, volume is split between its two legs (segments), providing interpretable insights into buyer vs seller activity along each path.
The idea is that certain geometric shapes, when paired with volume distribution on each leg, can reveal patterns worth exploring. Users are encouraged to share their observations and interpretations in the TradingView comments section so that more aspects of these triangle combinations can be discovered collectively.
Extra (for fun)
For a bit of entertainment, we’ve included a symbolic “hexagram” glyph that appears when both triangle types align in a particular way — it’s just a visual nod to geometry and has no predictive or trading value.
Interface & data clarity
- Inputs and parameters are organized by function (pattern geometry, volume analysis, visuals, HUD, labels).
- Each input includes tooltips explaining its purpose, units, and possible effects on calculations.
- All on-chart objects (polylines, labels, connectors) are named and colored to reflect their role, with volume values formatted in engineering notation (K, M, B).
- HUD columns and label texts use concise terms and consistent units, so that every displayed value is directly traceable to a calculation in the code.
- Daily and lower-timeframe volume series are clearly separated, with update logic documented to indicate intrabar provisional values vs finalized bar-close values.
Usage notes
Designed to be used alongside other indicators and chart tools for context; it is not a standalone signal generator.
All Buy/Sell volumes are absolute (non-negative); Δ = Buy − Sell.
Intrabar values update live and finalize at bar close (no repaint after close).

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

Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
A smart volume-powered tool for identifying key support and resistance zones—enhanced with real-time volume histogram fills and high-volume markers.
Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels detects structural levels from swing highs and lows, and wraps them in dynamic histograms that reflect the relative volume strength around those zones. It highlights the strongest price levels not just by structure—but by the weight of market participation.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Price Zones: Support and resistance levels are drawn from recent price pivots, while volume is used to visually enhance these zones with filled histograms and highlight moments of peak activity using markers.
Histogram Fill = Activity Zone: The width and intensity of each filled zone adjusts to recent volume bursts.
High-Volume Alerts: Circle markers highlight moments of volume dominance directly on the levels—revealing pressure points of support/resistance.
Clean Visual Encoding: Red = resistance zones, green = support zones, orange = high-volume bars.
🔵 FEATURES
Detects pivot-based resistance (highs) and support (lows) using a customizable range length.
Wraps these levels in volume-weighted bands that expand/contract based on percentile volume.
Color fill intensity increases with rising volume pressure, creating a live histogram feel.
When volume > user-defined threshold , the indicator adds circle markers at the top and bottom of that price level zone.
Bar coloring highlights the candles that generated this high-volume behavior (orange by default).
Adjustable settings for all thresholds and colors, so traders can dial in volume sensitivity.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Identify volume-confirmed resistance and support zones for potential reversal or breakout setups.
Focus on levels with intense histogram fill and circle markers —they indicate strong participation.
Use bar coloring to track when key activity started and align it with broader market context.
Works well in combination with order blocks, trend indicators, or liquidity zones.
Ideal for day traders, scalpers, and volume-sensitive setups.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volumatic Support/Resistance Levels elevates traditional support and resistance logic by anchoring it in volume context. Instead of relying solely on price action, it gives traders insight into where real conviction lies—by mapping how aggressively the market defended or rejected key levels. It's a visual, reactive, and volume-conscious upgrade to your structural toolkit.
Smart Money Liquidity Zones ProThe Smart Money Liquidity Zones Pro indicator identifies and visualizes key liquidity areas in the market where institutional traders (smart money) are likely to have placed their stop-loss orders. These zones represent areas of high liquidity that often act as magnets for price, making them valuable reference points for trading decisions.
What the Indicator Does
Core Functionality
Swing Point Detection: The indicator identifies significant swing highs and lows using three different methods (Classic, Fractal, or Combined) to locate potential liquidity pools.
Liquidity Zone Creation: At each valid swing point, the indicator creates a horizontal zone representing an area where stop-loss orders are likely clustered.
Zone Clustering: When multiple swing points occur near the same price level, the indicator intelligently combines them into larger cluster zones, indicating stronger liquidity areas.
Volume Confirmation: The indicator can filter zones based on volume, showing only those swing points that occurred with significant trading volume.
Zone Break Detection: When price closes through a liquidity zone, the indicator marks it as "Liquidity Taken" and removes the zone from the chart.
Zone Types
Buy-Side Liquidity Zones (Green): Created at swing highs where short sellers' stop-losses are likely placed
Sell-Side Liquidity Zones (Red): Created at swing lows where long traders' stop-losses are likely placed
Trading Strategies
Basic Concepts
Liquidity Runs: Price often moves toward these zones to trigger stop-loss orders before reversing. This creates trading opportunities.
Support and Resistance: Unbroken liquidity zones can act as support (sell-side) or resistance (buy-side) levels.
Breakout Confirmation: When price breaks through a zone with strong momentum, it often continues in that direction.
Entry Strategies
Strategy 1: Liquidity Grab Reversa l
Wait for price to spike into a liquidity zone
Look for rejection candles (wicks) at the zone
Enter in the opposite direction after confirmation
Place stop-loss beyond the liquidity zone
Strategy 2: Zone Break Continuation
Wait for price to close decisively through a zone
Enter on the retest of the broken zone
Target the next liquidity zone in the direction of the break
Strategy 3: Zone Clustering Trade
Focus on areas with multiple overlapping zones (clusters)
These areas offer higher probability setups
Trade bounces from cluster zones with tighter risk management
Risk Management
Always use stop-losses beyond the liquidity zones
Consider the overall market context and trend
Zones on higher timeframes are generally more significant
Volume-confirmed zones have higher reliability

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

ADR / ATR Example:
The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves.
Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability.
Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset.
Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential (coverage) move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages.
Custom Volume Session Example:
Set indicator to 30 period average. Set custom time frame to 9:30am to 10:30am Eastern/New York.
When the time frame for the calculation is closed, the indicator will provide a comparison of the current days volume compared to the average of 30 previous days for that same time frame and display it as a percentage in the table.
In this example you could compare how the first hour of the trading day compares to the previous 30 day's average, aiding in evaluating the potential volume for the remainder of the day.
Notes:
Times must be entered in 24 hour format. (1pm = 13:00 etc.)
Volume indicator is for Intra-day time frames, not > Day.
How I use these values:
I use these calculations to determine if a ticker symbol has the necessary range to achieve target gains, to determine if the price oscillation is within "normal" ranges to determine if the trading day will be choppy, and to determine placement of stops and targets within average ranges in combination with support, resistance and retracement levels.
Vacuum Candles [XrayAlgo]The Vacuum Candles indicator helps traders identify inefficient price movements—where the price moves significantly but lacks sufficient volume to support it. These inefficiencies may signal weak trends, potential reversals, or false breakouts/breakdowns.
Inefficient candles are visually marked with a darker / black body to indicate when the price movement is disproportionate to the volume.
1. Spotting Potential Reversals
When the indicator marks an inefficient candle, it signals that the price movement may be unsustainable.
In an uptrend: A inefficient bullish candle suggests that the uptrend is losing momentum, potentially leading to a downward reversal.
In a downtrend: A inefficient bearish candle signals that the downtrend may be weakening, with a potential bullish reversal.
2. Identifying Breakout and Breakdown Failures
This indicator is useful for recognizing false breakouts or false breakdowns.
If price breaks resistance but the candle is inefficient, the breakout may be weak and could fail quickly.
If price breaks support with an inefficient bearish candle, the breakdown could be a false signal, with price reverting back above support.
3. Recognizing Weak Trends
Inefficient candles help you spot when a trend is losing strength and could soon reverse or consolidate.
In an uptrend: A series of dark body bullish candles suggests that the uptrend may be weakening, signaling a potential correction or trend reversal.
In a downtrend: A series of dark body bearish candles suggests that the selling pressure is weakening, indicating a potential bullish reversal.
4. Fine-Tuning Entries and Exits
Inefficient candles offer an opportunity to fine-tune your entries and exits based on weak price moves.
Entering a trade: An inefficient candle near key support or resistance can indicate a reversal, making it a good entry point for a counter-trend position.
Exiting a trade: If you're already in a trend, and an inefficient candle appears, it suggests the trend is losing strength, indicating it may be a good time to exit before a potential reversal.
5. Fine-Tuning with Inputs
The Vacuum Candles indicator includes two key inputs:
Length: The number of candles used to calculate the average price movement and volume. A longer length (e.g., 20-30) smooths out the inefficiencies, while a shorter length (e.g., 10-15) makes the indicator more sensitive to recent price moves.
Multiplier: Controls the threshold for what is considered an inefficient candle:
A higher Multiplier (e.g., 1.5–3) filters out smaller inefficiencies and focuses on large discrepancies.
A lower Multiplier (e.g., 0.1–0.9) captures even smaller inefficiencies in highly efficient markets.
Volume Range Map [BigBeluga]This volume-based tool identifies the highest and lowest price extremes within a lookback period and constructs two dynamic range zones. Each zone is filled with horizontal volume profiles that visualize the distribution of traded volume across price bins, helping traders pinpoint key areas of accumulation and distribution.
🔵Key Features:
Dynamic High/Low Zones:
➣ Automatically detects the highest and lowest price levels within a custom lookback window.
➣ Draws two shaded zones: one near the high and one near the low, representing potential supply and demand areas.
Volume Profiles per Zone:
➣ Each zone is filled with a volume profile histogram divided into bins.
➣ The length of each horizontal bar represents the relative volume traded at that price level.
➣ Bins collectively account for 100% of the zone’s volume.
POC Highlighting:
➣ The price bin with the highest volume is marked as the Point of Control (POC), along with a label showing its share of total volume in percentage.
➣ A dashed line is drawn at the middle level of the zone.
Customizable Display:
➣ Traders can adjust the number of bins, zone width, and toggle midline visibility to match their strategy needs.
➣ Colors of upper and lower volume zones are fully customizable.
🔵Usage:
Supply/Demand Analysis: Use upper/lower volume zones to find key reversal or continuation areas where market participants were most active.
Volume Confirmation: Confirm breakout or rejection trades by watching how price reacts to high-volume areas inside each zone.
POC Strategy: Treat POC levels as magnet zones — price tends to revisit them due to high liquidity.
Trade Planning: Use volume-weighted levels instead of raw price action to plan entries, stop-losses, and targets.
Volume Range Map offers a clean and powerful way to analyze volume distribution at price extremes. By combining precise volume histograms, POC highlights, and adaptive zone drawing, it brings market structure into sharper focus for range and breakout traders alike.
Multi-TF Volume & Price Analysis[BullByte]This indicator offers a comprehensive view of market dynamics by combining volume and price analysis across multiple timeframes. It calculates key metrics—such as bullish/bearish volume percentages, relative volume (RVol), cumulative volume delta (CVD), and price change percentages—for each timeframe that you choose (for example, 1, 3, 5, and 15 minutes). Here are the main features in simple terms:
- Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The tool analyzes volume and price action from four different timeframes simultaneously. This means you get insights from short-term and slightly longer-term trends in one view.
- Volume Breakdown:
It splits the volume into bullish and bearish parts by comparing closing and opening prices. This helps you see how much of the trading volume is driving the market upward versus downward.
- Relative Volume & Spike Detection:
It calculates relative volume (current volume compared to a moving average) and flags any significant volume spikes based on a customizable multiplier. This feature helps identify unusual trading activity.
- Volume Smoothing Option:
For a cleaner signal, you can enable a smoothing option (using an exponential moving average) to reduce noise in the volume data.
- Advanced Summary:
The indicator combines volume data, price changes, and volume spikes to produce an overall market summary for each timeframe—labeling conditions as “Bullish Strong,” “Bullish Moderate,” “Bearish Strong,” “Bearish Moderate,” or “Neutral.”
- Cumulative Overview:
In addition to individual timeframe analysis, it aggregates the data to offer a cumulative view. This includes a collective bullish/bearish percentage, overall CVD, and even a simplified volume level (Low, Normal, or High).
- Customizable Dashboard:
All these metrics are neatly displayed in a dashboard on the chart. You can customize its position and text size. The dashboard uses dynamic, color-coded cells to instantly convey the market sentiment—making it easy to spot trends at a glance.
- VWAP Integration:
Finally, the dashboard includes VWAP information, providing an additional layer of context to the price action.
Overall, this indicator is designed to provide a quick yet thorough snapshot of market conditions, enabling traders to make more informed decisions with a clear visual representation of volume and price activity across different timeframes.
Volume Profile [ActiveQuants]The Volume Profile indicator visualizes the distribution of trading volume across price levels over a user-defined historical period. It identifies key liquidity zones, including the Point of Control (POC) (price level with the highest volume) and the Value Area (price range containing a specified percentage of total volume). This tool is ideal for traders analyzing support/resistance levels, market sentiment , and potential price reversals .
█ CORE METHODOLOGY
Vertical Price Rows: Divides the price range of the selected lookback period into equal-height rows.
Volume Aggregation: Accumulates bullish/bearish or total volume within each price row.
POC: The row with the highest total volume.
Value Area: Expands from the POC until cumulative volume meets the user-defined threshold (e.g., 70%).
Dynamic Visualization: Rows are plotted as horizontal boxes with widths proportional to their volume.
█ KEY FEATURES
- Customizable Lookback & Resolution
Adjust the historical period ( Lookback ) and granularity ( Number of Rows ) for precise analysis.

Volume Width Based Candles
Overview
This indicator reimagines traditional candlestick charts by adjusting the horizontal width of each candle based on the bar’s trading volume. In other words, candles with higher volume appear wider, while those with lower volume are drawn narrower. This extra visual dimension can help traders quickly identify bars with significant volume relative to a defined lookback period.
Key Components
Volume Normalization:
The script calculates the highest volume over a user-defined lookback period (default is 100 bars).
Each bar’s volume is then normalized by dividing it by this maximum value. The result is a value between 0 and 1 that represents how the current volume compares to the maximum over the lookback.
Variable Candle Width Calculation:
A base multiplier (default set to 0.4) is used to control how much the volume influences the candle width.
The normalized volume is multiplied by this multiplier to compute an offset value.
Instead of using timestamps (which could lead to drawing objects too far into the future), the script uses the bar_index (the sequential index of bars) to determine the left and right positions of each candle.
The left and right x–positions are calculated by subtracting and adding the offset from the current bar index, respectively.
Candle Body & Wick Drawing:
Candle Body:
The body is drawn using box.new as a rectangle.
The top and bottom of the box are determined by the higher and lower values of the open and close prices.
The color of the candle is set based on whether the bar is bullish (green) or bearish (red).
Wicks:
The upper wick is drawn from the high of the bar down to the top of the body.
The lower wick is drawn from the low up to the bottom of the body.
These are created using line.new at the current bar index.
Handling Edge Cases:
The indicator includes conditions to avoid drawing errors on the very first bar (or any bar where prior data is unavailable).
It also converts the calculated x–coordinates (which are derived from the bar index plus a floating point offset) to integers since box.new requires integer values for positioning.
What It Tells the Trader
Volume Visualization:
Wider candles indicate bars where trading volume is high relative to recent history, potentially highlighting periods of increased market activity.
Narrower candles suggest lower volume, which can signal less interest or participation during that bar.
Contextual Price Action:
By integrating volume into the visual representation of each candle, traders get an immediate sense of the strength behind price movements.
This can be particularly useful for spotting potential breakouts, reversals, or confirming trends when analyzed alongside traditional price-based indicators.
Customization Options
Volume Lookback Period:
You can adjust the number of bars considered when determining the maximum volume. A shorter period may be more responsive to recent changes, while a longer period provides a broader context.
Base Width Multiplier:
Adjusting this multiplier changes how pronounced the effect of volume is on the candle’s width. Increasing it will make high-volume candles even wider, and decreasing it will reduce the difference between high and low volume candles.
Final Thoughts
This indicator is a creative way to overlay volume information directly onto the price chart without the need for separate volume bars. It provides an at-a-glance understanding of market activity and can be a valuable addition to a trader’s toolkit, especially for those who prefer visual cues integrated with price action. However, due to limitations (like the maximum number of drawn boxes), it’s best used on charts with a moderate amount of historical data or with appropriate adjustments to manage performance.
Liquidity Location Detector [BigBeluga]
This indicator helps traders identify potential liquidity zones by detecting significant volume levels at key highs and lows. By using color intensity and scoring numbers, it visually highlights areas where liquidity concentration may be highest while incorporating trend analysis through EMAs.
🔵Key Features:
Liquidity Zone Detection: Automatically detects and marks areas where significant volume has accumulated at swing highs and lows.
Dynamic Box Plotting: Draws liquidity boxes at key highs and lows, updating based on market conditions.
Volume Strength Scaling: Uses a scoring system to rank liquidity zones, helping traders identify the strongest areas.
Color Intensity for Volume Strength: More transperent color indicate less liquidity, while less transperent represent stronger volume concentrations.
Customizable Display: Users can adjust the number of displayed liquidity zones and modify colors to suit their trading style.
Real-Time Liquidity Adaptation: As price interacts with liquidity zones, the indicator updates dynamically to reflect changing market conditions.
Auto-Stopping Liquidity Zones: Liquidity boxes automatically stop extending to the right once price crosses them, preventing outdated zones from interfering with live market action.
Trend Analysis with EMAs: Includes two optional EMAs (fast and slow) to help traders analyze market trends. Users can enable or disable these EMAs in the settings and use crossover signals for trend confirmation.
🔵Usage:
Identify Key Liquidity Areas: Use color intensity and transparency levels to determine high-impact liquidity zones.
Support & Resistance Confirmation: Liquidity zones can act as potential support and resistance levels, enhancing trade decision-making.
Market Structure Analysis: Observe how price interacts with liquidity to anticipate breakout or reversal points.
Scalping & Swing Trading: Works for both short-term and long-term traders looking for liquidity-based trade setups.
Liquidation Map Insight: A liquidity map highlights areas where large amounts of leveraged positions (both long and short) are likely to get liquidated. Since many traders use leverage, sharp price movements can trigger a cascade of liquidations, leading to rapid price surges or drops. Monitoring these liquidity zones and trends helps traders anticipate where price might react strongly.
Liquidity Location Detector is an essential tool for traders seeking to map out potential liquidity zones, providing deeper insights into market structure and trading volume dynamics.
Synthetic OrderBookHow to Use the Enhanced Synthetic OrderBook Indicator
This indicator creates a synthetic representation of market order book data using price action, volume, and other technical factors. It's designed to help you identify significant market imbalances and potential price reversals, especially useful for crypto trading.
Overview
The Enhanced Synthetic OrderBook provides three different view modes, each offering unique insights into market conditions:
1. **Order Book View** - Shows simulated order book depth at different price levels
2. **Delta View** - Displays the imbalance between buying and selling pressure
3. **Liquidation View** - Highlights potential liquidation events that could drive price movements
How to Use Each View Mode
Order Book View
This view simulates what you would see in an exchange order book, showing bids (buy orders) in green and asks (sell orders) in orange/red.
**How to interpret:**
- **Green bars (bids)**: Represent buying interest at different price levels below the current price
- **Red bars (asks)**: Represent selling interest at different price levels above the current price
- **Bar height**: Taller bars indicate stronger buying/selling interest
- **Threshold lines**: The green line shows the bullish threshold, while the red line shows the bearish threshold
**Trading signals:**
- When green bars (bids) consistently exceed the bullish threshold, consider buying
- When red bars (asks) consistently exceed the bearish threshold, consider selling
- Look for imbalances where bids are significantly larger than asks (or vice versa)
Delta View
This view shows the difference between buying and selling pressure across different price ranges. It's more focused on the imbalance rather than raw order book depth.
**How to interpret:**
- **Green bars**: Positive delta (more buying than selling pressure)
- **Red bars**: Negative delta (more selling than buying pressure)
- **Threshold lines**: Indicate significant levels of imbalance
- **Zero line**: Neutral point between buying and selling pressure
**Trading signals:**
- When delta stays consistently above the bullish threshold, it suggests strong buying pressure
- When delta stays consistently below the bearish threshold, it suggests strong selling pressure
- Changes in direction of the delta can signal potential reversals
- When the bids/asks delta shallows
Liquidation View
This view estimates potential liquidation events in the market, which often lead to sharp price movements.
**How to interpret:**
- **Green bars**: Potential long liquidations (forced selling from leveraged long positions)
- **Red bars**: Potential short liquidations (forced buying from leveraged short positions)
- **Bar height**: Indicates the estimated severity of liquidations
**Trading signals:**
- Large liquidation events often lead to price continuation in that direction
- After a series of liquidations, the market may become exhausted, suggesting a potential reversal
- Short liquidations (red) tend to create faster upward price movements than long liquidations
Tips for Beginners
1. **Start with the Order Book view** to get a feel for buying and selling pressure
2. **Use the Delta view** for confirmation of trends and potential reversals
3. **Check the Liquidation view** when markets are volatile to anticipate sharp moves
4. **Watch for strong buy/sell signals** (green/red arrows) which suggest high-confidence trade opportunities
5. **Customize the threshold levels** in the settings to match the volatility of the asset you're trading
6. **Higher timeframes** (4H, daily) generally provide more reliable signals than lower timeframes
## Important Settings to Adjust
- **Order Book/Delta Thresholds**: Adjust these based on the asset's volatility (higher for more volatile assets)
- **Show Bids/Asks**: Toggle to focus on specific directions
- **Adaptive Threshold**: Enables the indicator to automatically adjust sensitivity based on market conditions
- **Volume Profile**: Uses historical volume distribution to improve accuracy
This indicator works best when combined with other confirmation tools like support/resistance levels, trend analysis, and traditional technical indicators.

WhaleTrack – Volume Heatmap to Uncover Institutional Trading Activity
Overview
WhaleTrack is a volume-based heatmap indicator designed to reveal areas of high institutional trading activity. The indicator helps traders identify hidden support and resistance levels, analyze trend sustainability, and optimize stop-loss placements by displaying where significant market participants (whales) have historically traded in large volumes.
Institutions and large traders often push price into areas of historical liquidity to trigger retail stop-losses and fill their own large orders at optimal prices. WhaleTrack visualizes these critical areas, allowing traders to anticipate future price movements based on past institutional behavior.
How WhaleTrack Works
WhaleTrack analyzes historical trading volume and calculates a normalized volume intensity relative to the moving average (SMA). This data is then mapped onto a heatmap that highlights key liquidity zones.
1. Volume Normalization & SMA-Based Calculation
The script calculates the ratio of current volume to its SMA-based average.
Zones with significantly high volume spikes are identified as key liquidity areas where large traders may have accumulated or distributed assets.
The volume is quantized into different levels, ranging from Low to Extreme, creating a clear heatmap gradient.
2. Why Do Whales Manipulate Liquidity?
Large traders (whales) need liquidity to execute their orders.
They push price into historical high-volume areas to trigger stop-losses and force retail traders into selling.
This behavior allows them to accumulate at lower prices or distribute at higher prices before a major move.
Whale zones often act as support/resistance because institutions tend to protect their previous accumulation or distribution levels.
3. Heatmap Color Model & Zone Classification
WhaleTrack assigns volume intensity levels based on historical market participation:
Low → Minimal volume, weak interest
Low-Mid → Slightly increased volume
Mid → Standard trading activity, no major anomalies
Mid-High → Significant increase in volume, possible whale activity
High → Strong liquidity pool, institutional interest
Extreme → Highly concentrated volume, key reversal area
By observing these zones, traders can determine whether a price level is likely to hold as support or resistance , or if a breakout has the strength to sustain.
Trading Applications of WhaleTrack
WhaleTrack can be used to identify trade setups based on liquidity behavior:
1. Identifying Hidden Reversal Points (Support & Resistance)
Large Whale Zones below price → Likely strong support.
Large Whale Zones above price → Likely strong resistance.
These zones often lead to reversals, as large traders defend their previous positions.
2. Evaluating Trend Sustainability
A strong uptrend should leave multiple high-volume zones behind.
If no new high-volume zones form, the trend may be unsustainable.
High volume clusters in trend direction? → Likely trend continuation.
3. Optimizing Stop-Loss Placement
Placing stops inside whale zones increases stop-out risk.
Setting stops below whale buy zones protects against premature liquidation.
Stops above whale sell zones help avoid fake breakouts.
Customization & Settings
WhaleTrack is designed with flexibility in mind, offering multiple customization options:
1. Layout & Color Models
WhaleTrack Default – optimized for whale volume tracking
Model 1 & Model 2 – alternative heatmap color schemes
Contrast Mode – high visibility
