VPA Volume Price AverageDescription:
This indicator displays a moving average of volume and its signal line in a separate pane, with conditional highlighting to help interpret buyer and seller pressure. It’s based on two main lines:
Volume Moving Average (red line) : represents the average volume calculated over a configurable number of periods.
Signal Line of the Volume Moving Average (blue line): this is an average of the volume moving average itself, used as a reference for volume trends.
Key Features
Volume Moving Average with Conditional Highlighting:
The volume moving average is plotted as a red line and changes color based on two specific conditions:
The closing price is above its moving average, calculated over a configurable number of periods, indicating a bullish trend.
The volume moving average is greater than the signal line, suggesting an increase in buyer pressure.
When both conditions are met, the volume moving average turns green. If one or both conditions are not met, the line remains red.
Signal Line of the Volume Moving Average:
The signal line is plotted in blue and represents a smoothed version of the volume moving average, useful for identifying long-term volume trends and as a reference for the highlighting condition.
Customizable Periods
The indicator allows you to set the periods for each average to adapt to different timeframes and desired sensitivity:
Period for calculating the volume moving average.
Period for calculating the signal line of the volume moving average.
Period for the price moving average (used in the highlighting condition).
How to Use
This indicator is especially useful for monitoring volume dynamics in detail, with a visual system that highlights conditions of increasing buyer strength when the price is in an uptrend. The green highlight on the volume moving average provides an intuitive signal for identifying potential moments of buyer support.

Enhanced volumeHi all!
This indicator plots volume at the bottom of the chart and the volume Moving Average (with the choice of Simple Moving Average (SMA) (default), Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)) and desired length (defaults to 20). It then changes the transparency of the volume (and the bars body) based on the close and the volume. It also changes the bar transparency. All these visual changes can be configured in the "Style" tab in the indicators settings.
The opacity will be high when the close is considered to be a "Strong close (%)" and has a bigger volume than any of the red closing in the last 10 bars. This "Strong close (%)" is defaulted to 50 which means that the bar needs to close equal or higher than 50% of the bar.
You also have an option to include red bars, which are excluded by default.
This indicator can help you to spot bars with relevant volume and find reversals.
I hope this explanation makes sense, let me know otherwise. Also let me know if you have any suggestions on improvements.
Best of trading luck!
FuTech V-Spike & V-HighlighterFuTech V-Spike & V-Highlighter
In the context of trading and technical analysis, this volume spike & volume highlighter indicator is the perfect indicator used to assess market activity and make informed trading decisions.
Let's Understand in brief as below :
1) Volume Spike :
A volume spike refers to a sudden, significant increase in trading volume compared to the average volume over a specific period.
This spike can indicate heightened interest in a particular security, often preceding price movements.
Traders may look for volume spikes as signals for potential buy or sell opportunities because they can suggest that a stock is experiencing increased activity, possibly due to news, earnings releases, or other catalysts.
Characteristics of a Volume Spike:
Assess the sudden increase in trading volume.
It Can occur in both upward and downward price movements.
Often compared to the average volume over a defined period (e.g., the last 20 days).
2) Volume Highlighter:
A volume highlighter emphasizes significant changes in trading volume on a price chart. This indicator typically uses color coding to highlight periods of high volume, making it easier for traders to identify volume spikes at a glance.
How this indicator works:
a) Volume Spike will calculate the highest volume spike as per the user defined threshold multiplier. (Multiplier = when volume exceeds a certain threshold)
b) The threshold Multiplier can be set based on a fixed number or as a multiple of the Exponential Moving Average volume. Volume Spike Multiplier default is 1.5, means the EMA volume should cross 1.5 times the user defined lookback period
c) The result is derived from the user defined lookback candles by using its EMA instead of SMA, which will give us more precise results.
d) By default, last 10 candles EMA average is used to calculate the Volume Spike but you can choose your lookback period as many days, weeks, months, years of your choice !
e) In Volume Spike -
- Green candle will show Yellow color Bar as Bullish sentiments, whereas
- Red candle will show Black Bar as Bearish sentiments.
f) Volume Highlighter will highlight the candles background if the highest volume is crossing as per the the user defined lookback period
g) Default Lookback period is 20, Color coding (e.g., Blue for bullish spikes, Red for bearish spikes) helps traders quickly assess the volume context.
h) Volume Highlighter plotting shapes and positions can be modified
Illustration:
From the Above pic,
If last Volume Spike is 10 lookback candles, Spike multiplier is 1.5 and Highlighter lookback candles is 20,
Then yellow candle means the spike in volume which is 1.5 times higher than the last 10 candles
Highlighting color defines the highest volumes trading from the last 20 candles which is either Blue (Bullish) or Red (Bearish) sentiments
Conclusion :
Using FuTech V-Spike & V-Highlighter indicator - will help traders identify potential trading opportunities and better understand market dynamics.
By analyzing volume in conjunction with price movements, traders can make more informed decisions based on market sentiment.

Ehlers Loops [BigBeluga]The Ehlers Loops indicator is based on the concepts developed by John F. Ehlers, which provide a visual representation of the relationship between price and volume dynamics. This tool helps traders predict future market movements by observing how price and volume data interact within four distinct quadrants of the loop, each representing different combinations of price and volume directions. The unique structure of this indicator provides insights into the strength and direction of market trends, offering a clearer perspective on price behavior relative to volume.
🔵 KEY FEATURES & USAGE
● Four Price-Volume Quadrants:
The Ehlers Loops chart consists of four quadrants:
+Price & +Volume (top-right) – Typically indicates a bullish continuation in the market.
-Price & +Volume (bottom-right) – Generally shows a bearish continuation.
+Price & -Volume (top-left) – Typically indicates an exhaustion of demand with a potential reversal.
-Price & -Volume (bottom-left) – Indicates exhaustion of supply and near trend reversal.
By watching how symbols move through these quadrants over time, traders can assess shifts in momentum and volume flow.
● Price and Volume Scaling in Standard Deviations:
Both price and volume data are individually filtered using HighPass and SuperSmoother filters, which transform them into band-limited signals with zero mean. This scaling allows traders to view data in terms of its deviation from the average, making it easier to spot abnormal movements or trends in both price and volume.
● Loops Trajectories with Tails:
The loops draw a trail of price and volume dynamics over time, allowing traders to observe historical price-volume interactions and predict future movements based on the curvature and direction of the rotation.
● Price & Volume Histograms:
On the right side of the chart, histograms for each symbol provide a summary of the most recent price and volume values. These histograms allow traders to easily compare the strength and direction of multiple assets and evaluate market conditions at a glance.
● Flexible Symbol Display & Customization:
Traders can select up to five different symbols to be displayed within the Ehlers Loops. The settings also allow customization of symbol size, colors, and visibility of the histograms. Additionally, traders can adjust the LPPeriod and HPPeriod to change the smoothness and lag of the loops, with a shorter LPPeriod offering more responsiveness and a longer HPPeriod emphasizing longer-term trends.
🔵 USAGE
🔵 SETTINGS
Low pass Period: default is 10 to
obtain minimum lag with just a little smoothing.
High pass Period: default is 125 (half of the year if Daily timeframe) to capture the longer term moves.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Ehlers Loops indicator offers a visually rich and highly customizable way to observe price and volume dynamics across multiple assets. By using band-limited signals and scaling data into standard deviations, traders gain a powerful tool for identifying market trends and predicting future movements. Whether you're tracking short-term fluctuations or long-term trends, Ehlers Loops can help you stay ahead of the market by offering key insights into the relationship between price and volume.
Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks [UAlgo]"Price Action Volumetric Order Blocks" indicator aims to identify significant price zones in the market based on a combination of price action and volume analysis. It utilizes the concept of "Order Blocks," which are areas on the chart where large orders are believed to have been placed, influencing price behavior. By analyzing price swings and volume activity, the indicator attempts to highlight potential support and resistance levels.
🔶 Key Features
Swing Length: This input allows you to adjust the timeframe used to identify price swings for order block detection. A longer swing length will focus on larger timeframes and potentially capture stronger order blocks.
Show Last X Order Blocks: This controls the number of order blocks displayed on the chart. You can choose to visualize a specific number of the most recent order blocks.
Violation Check: This setting determines how the indicator identifies potential order block violations. You can choose between "Wick" or "Close" violations. A "Wick" violation occurs when the price (wick) extends beyond the order block boundaries, while a "Close" violation signifies that the closing price breaches the order block.
Hide Overlap: This option allows you to manage the display of overlapping order blocks. If set to "True," only non-overlapping order blocks will be shown, potentially offering a clearer visualization.
Colors: You can customize the color scheme for bullish (upward) and bearish (downward) order blocks to enhance visual clarity on the chart.
🔶 Interpreting the Indicator
Order Blocks: The teal-colored boxes represent bullish order blocks, indicating areas of demand where buying pressure is likely to be strong. Red-colored boxes represent bearish order blocks, indicating areas of supply where selling pressure is likely to be dominant. These zones often signal potential reversal points or consolidation areas.
Strength Calculations: The indicator calculates the relative strength of bullish and bearish blocks based on volume. A higher bullish strength indicates stronger buying pressure, while higher bearish strength suggests more selling pressure. Traders can use this information to gauge the strength of a price level and predict future price movements.
Market Structure Lines: The indicator displays horizontal lines to depict the current market structure, labeled as "MSB" (Market Sell Balance) or "BOS" (Break of Structure). These lines can help visualize the prevailing trend direction.
Order Block Violations: When a price wick or close breaches an order block (depending on the chosen violation type), the corresponding order block visualization is removed from the chart. This can signify a potential weakening of the identified support or resistance zone.

Volume Profile Heatmap [UAlgo]The "Volume Profile Heatmap " indicator is a tool designed to visualize the distribution of trading volume across different price levels over a specified period. This heatmap-style indicator helps traders identify significant price levels where a high volume of trading activity has occurred, which can be crucial for making informed trading decisions. The indicator divides the price range into multiple levels and calculates the volume of trades occurring at each level, presenting this data in a visually intuitive manner using a gradient of colors.
By analyzing the volume profile, traders can gain insights into areas of support and resistance, as well as the Point of Control (POC)—the price level with the highest traded volume. This information is valuable in assessing market sentiment, potential reversal points, and key areas of interest where price action might consolidate or react.
🔶 Key Features
Customizable Analysis Period: The indicator allows users to specify the analysis period, defining the historical range over which the volume profile is calculated.
Adjustable Number of Levels: Users can set the number of price levels to divide the price range, offering flexibility in the granularity of the volume analysis.
Color-Coded Heatmap: The indicator uses a gradient color scheme to visually represent volume intensity at each price level. Higher volume areas are shaded differently than lower volume areas, making it easy to spot significant price levels.
Opacity Control: Users can adjust the opacity of the volume boxes, enabling a clearer or more subtle visualization according to their preferences.
Point of Control (POC) Display: The indicator highlights the Point of Control, the price level with the highest traded volume, with a distinct line on the chart, allowing traders to easily identify this critical level.

📚 Introduction to Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) :
Volume Spread Analysis is a method used to interpret the relationship between volume and price to identify the intentions of market participants. By analyzing the spread (range) of a price bar and its corresponding volume, VSA helps traders discern market strength and potential reversals.
In VSA, harmony occurs when price and volume move in sync, such as when increasing prices(aka "Effect" in the script) are accompanied by increasing volume. This indicates a strong and healthy trend. Conversely, divergence happens when price and volume move in opposite directions. For example, if prices are rising lesser but volume is still high, it may signal a weakening trend and a potential reversal. Identifying these patterns helps traders understand market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
🛠 Quick Guide to Using the Volume Spread Analysis Indicator
⭐ Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favorites by pressing the star icon. Customize settings such as period length, volume SMA period, and outlier reduction factor to fit your trading style.
📊 Market Analysis: Watch for color-coded boxes indicating effects and labels showing effort values. Look for divergences and convergences to identify potential trading opportunities. A higher work done suggests that the markets are needing to work harder to move the price and users can use that information as displayed below each trend impulse box to analyze the likely hood of trend continuation/reversals.
🔔 Alerts: Enable alerts for divergences and convergences to stay informed of critical market conditions without constant chart monitoring.
🔍 How It Works:
Our indicator meticulously analyzes volume and price data to detect significant market movements. It identifies periods where volume is above or below a moving average, marks these points, and tracks the price effect over a user-defined range. By calculating the effort (volume) and effect (price movement), it distinguishes between divergences and convergences based on predefined conditions. Bullish and bearish conditions are visually represented with color-coded boxes and labels, making it easy to spot trading opportunities. Alerts can be set to notify you of critical market conditions, ensuring you never miss a potential trade setup.

🚨 Set Alerts : Enable alerts for sentiment flips and trend impulses to stay ahead of market movements.
How It Works ⚙️
The indicator calculates market sentiment by averaging the volume and closing prices over a user-defined lookback period, creating a sentiment score. It differentiates between bullish and bearish sentiment by evaluating whether the closing price is higher or lower than the opening price, summing the respective volumes. The true sentiment is determined by comparing these summed values, with a positive score indicating bullish sentiment and a negative score indicating bearish sentiment. The indicator further normalizes this sentiment score by dividing it by the EMA of the highest high minus the lowest low over double the lookback period, ensuring values are constrained between -1 and 1. Bullish and bearish impulses are identified using Hull Moving Averages (HMA) of the positive and negative sentiments, respectively. When these impulses exceed a calculated threshold based on the standard deviation of the sentiment, it indicates a significant trend change. The script also includes a gradient color table to visually represent the strength of sentiment, and customizable alerts to notify users of key sentiment changes and trend impulses.

Volume Insignts AnalyzerDescription:
The Volume Insight Analyzer is an advanced Pine Script designed for traders who want a comprehensive view of volume dynamics on their charts. This script combines multiple volume-based indicators to help identify key trading opportunities, including significant volume days, volume dry-ups, and pocket pivots.
Key Features:
VDU (Volume Dry-Up) Detection: Automatically identifies and marks days when the volume is significantly below its moving average, helping to spot potential breakout or breakdown points. Customizable volume thresholds allow for tailored analysis based on your trading strategy. The Volume Dry-Up label appears when the volume is substantially below its average level and the price is near a key moving average. This condition indicates a period of equilibrium between supply and demand, suggesting a potential low-risk entry point for traders.
Pocket Pivot Analysis using 5 and 10 Length Pocket Pivots: Highlights days with exceptionally high volume compared to recent history, indicating potential pocket pivots. Visual markers on the chart and volume bars color-coded for 5 and 10-day lengths. Pocket pivot points are identified when the volume on a given day exceeds the maximum volume observed over the past several days. Specifically, a 5-day pocket pivot point is marked when today's volume surpasses the highest selling volume of the last 5 days. A cluster of 5-day pocket pivot points within a base is a strong indicator of stock strength. Similarly, a 10-day pocket pivot point following a Volume Dry-Up (VDU) suggests a potential entry opportunity. Moreover, a pre-existing cluster of 5-day pocket pivot points before a 10-day pocket pivot point provides greater conviction in the trade.

Auto Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) [TANHEF]Auto Volume Spread Analysis (visible volume and spread bars auto-scaled): Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
All the sections below contain the same descriptions as my other indicator "Volume Spread Analysis" with the exception of 'Auto Scaling'.
█ Auto-Scaling
This indicator auto-scales spread bars to match the visible volume bars, unlike the previous "Volume Spread Analysis " version which limited the number of visible spread bars to a fixed count. The auto-scaling feature allows for easier navigation through historical data, enabling both more historical spread bars to be viewed and more historical VSA pattern labels being displayed without requiring using the bar replay tool. Please note that this indicator’s auto-scaling feature recalculates the visible bars on the chart, causing the indicator to reload whenever the chart is moved.
Auto-scaled spread bars have two display options (set via 'Spread Bars Method' setting):
Lines: a bar lookback limit of 500 bars.
Polylines: no bar lookback limit as only plotted on visible bars on chart, which uses multiple polylines are used.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and spread bars that consist of color coded levels, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and/or spread bars that consist of color coded levels. If both of these are displayed, the number of spread bars can be limited for visual appeal and understanding, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. While automatic calculation of the number of visual bars for auto scaling is possible, it is avoided to prevent the indicator from reloading whenever the number of visual price bars on the chart is adjusted, ensuring uninterrupted analysis. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:

👁️🗨️ Data Analysis : Compare the trend of Buying and Selling to help indicate whether bulls or bears are in control of the market. Utilize the different display modes to present the data in different form to suite your analysis style.
🔔 Set Alerts : Activate alerts for reversal conditions to keep abreast of significant market movements without having to monitor the charts constantly.
🌐 How It Works :
The toolkit processes volume data on a lower timeframe to distinguish between buying and selling pressures based on intra-bar price closing higher or lower than it opened. It aggregates these transactions and finds the net selling and buying that took place during that bar, offering a clearer view of market fundamentals. The indicator then plots this data visually with multiple modes including comparisons between buying/selling and the net flow of the asset. Deviation thresholds help in identifying significant changes, allowing traders to spot potential buying or selling opportunities based on the money flow dynamics. The "Sum of Flows" mode is unique from other trend following indicators as it does not determine trend based on price action, but rather based on the net buying/selling. Therefore in some cases the "Sum of Flows" mode can be a leading indicator showing bullish/bearish net flows even before the prices move significantly.

Basic Logic Behind the Indicator:
The Smart Money Liquidity Heatmap utilizes the Smart Money Interest Index Indicator and operates by differentiating between the trading behaviors of informed (smart money) and less-informed (retail) traders. It calculates the differences between specific volume indices—Positive Volume Index (PVI) for retail investors and Negative Volume Index (NVI) for institutional players—and their respective moving averages, highlighting these differences using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) over user-specified periods. This calculation generates a ratio that is then normalized and compared against a threshold to identify areas of high institutional trading interest, visually representing these zones on your chart as vibrant heatmaps. This enables traders to visually identify where significant trading activities among smart money are occurring, potentially signalling important buying or selling opportunities.
🎉 Elevate your trading experience with precision, insight, and clarity by integrating the Smart Money Liquidity Heatmap into your toolkit today!
Effective Volume Z-ScoreThis indicator aims at responding the question: is the current trend supported by volume?
The concept and formula
The central concept is the Effective Volume, calculated as follow:
effectiveVolume = volume * (close - open) / (high - low)
Then the Effective Volume Z-Score indicator is calculated by smoothing the effective volume and applying the z-score function:
zscore(x) = (x - mean) / stdev
Essentially, the indicator's value represents the number of standard deviations of the effective volume away from the mean.
How to use it
This indicator should be used for trend confirmation.
For an uptrend, the bigger the indicator value, the greater the volume support, while for a downtrend, the lower the indicator value, the greater the volume support.
Divergences are also important, as with every volume indicator.
Volume Breakout [Afnan]Introducing the Relative Volume / Volume Breakout Multiplier (RVI) , RVI is specifically designed for traders who incorporate volume breakout analysis into their trading strategies, particularly breakout traders.
This indicator provides a unique perspective on volume dynamics by quantifying the extent of volume breakouts in relation to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). It offers an upgraded version of the default volume indicator on TradingView, with the added feature of Relative Volume.
For example, if the volume SMA is 100M and the current volume is 200M, the indicator will return a breakout number of 2.0, indicating that the current volume is twice that of the volume SMA. Conversely, if the volume SMA is 100M and the current volume is 50M, the indicator will return a value of 0.50, indicating that the current volume is half of the volume SMA.
This tool can be a very helpful for breakout traders, helping them identify potential trading opportunities and assess volume strength more effectively. this indicator is a must-have in the toolkit of any trader who focuses on volume breakout analysis.

Volume Flow Oscillator (VFO)I created the Volume Flow Oscillator (VFO) to explore the intricate interplay between volume and price movements over a specific lookback period. This tool contrasts volumes that move in sync with the price against those that move in opposition, signaling potential overbought or oversold territories. To determine the direction, I compare the current price to its value four periods back, shedding light on underlying bullish or bearish momentum. The VFO enriches my analysis and decision-making by offering a detailed perspective on how volume trends correlate with price changes. Its color-coded visuals are crucial for highlighting optimal trading points based on volume dynamics.
Relative Volume Candles [QuantVue]In the words of Dan Zanger, "Trying to trade without using volume is like trying to drive a few hundred miles without putting gas in your tank. Trying to trade without chart patterns is like leaving without having an idea how to get there!"
Volume tends to show up at the beginning and the end of trends. As a general rule, when a stock goes up on low volume, it's seen as negative because it means buyers aren't committed. When a stock goes down on low volume, it means that not many people are trying to sell it, which is positive.
The Relative Volume Candles indicator is based on the Zanger Volume Ratio and designed to help identify key volume patterns effortlessly, with color coded candles and wicks.
The indicator is designed to be used on charts less than 1 Day and calculates the average volume for the user selected lookback period at the given time of day. From there a ratio of the current volume vs the average volume is used to determine the candle’s colors.
The candles wicks are color coded based on whether or not the volume ratio is rising or falling.
So when is it most important to have volume? When prices break out of a consolidation pattern like a bull flag or cup and handle pattern, volume plays a role. When a stock moves out of a range, volume shows how committed buyers are to that move.
