A good measure to see how excited the herd is, before chasing a move. Very Useful when trading explosive stocks like, FNMA, PLUG, USU. I use this to filter when not to chase. Once you get familiar with this. You can trade the stocks with just Volume and Price.
Also a good filter on how good a breakout is.

Short-term Volume and Price Oscillator (SVAPO), developed by Sylvian Vervroot, combines both Price and Volume to construct an oscillator. In essence, when the price is trending up and volume is increasing, volume is added into the oscillator calculation. Conversely, when price is trending down and volume is increasing, volume will be subtracted from the...
Elastic Volume Weighted Moving Average (eVWMA) is a statistical measure using the volume to define the period of the moving average. The eVWMA can be looked at as an approximation to the average price paid per share. Multiplier is usually the number of shares, but it can be approximated using cumulative sum of volume (Enable it via "Use Cumulative Volume" option)...
This a modified MAC-Z using Z-VWAP. Since this uses VWAP, the signals are derived indirectly from both volume and price action.
I have also included a way to smooth MACZ-VWAP, you can enable it via options page.
Note that this will not work on any FX pair, as volume is not available.

Edgar Kraut proposed this simple colored volume bars strategy for swing trading.
This is how the colors are determined:
- If today’s closing price and volume are greater than 'n' days ago, color today’s volume bar green.
- If today’s closing price is greater than 'n' days ago but volume is not, color today’s volume bar blue.
- Similarly, if today’s closing...
This calculates normal distance of price from VWAP. This is a mean reverting idea (something like ZScore), but using both "volume" and "close".
Useful for finding OB/OS areas and potential turning points.
Complete list of my indicators:
This indicator takes market volume and organizes it into wave charts, clearly highlighting inflection points and regions of supply/demand.
Try tuning this for your instrument (Forex not supported) by adjusting the "Trend Detection Length". This "clubs together" minor waves. If you like an oscillator-kind-of display, enable "ShowDistributionBelowZero" option....
HawkEye volume, developed by Nigel Hawks, is supposed to be a premier VSA indicator. Documentation on this is scarce (looks like the training seminars/sessions conducted by the parent company cover this in detail), if you come across any (other than what I have mentioned on that chart) do let me know.
I am not sure how much this resembles the commercial...
VFI,introduced by Markos Katsanos, is based on the popular On Balance Volume (OBV) but with three very important modifications:
* Unlike the OBV, indicator values are no longer meaningless. Positive readings are bullish and negative bearish.
* The calculation is based on the day's median (typical price) instead of the closing price.
* A volatility threshold...
This is the second part of TFS trading strategy. The concept of this
indicator is similar to that of On-Balance Volume indicator (OBV). It
is calculated according to these rules:
If Close > Open, Volume is positive
If Close < Open, Volume is negative
If Close = Open, Volume is neutral
Then you take the 7-day MA of the results.
The theory behind the indexes is as follows: On days of increasing
volume, you can expect prices to increase, and on days of decreasing
volume, you can expect prices to decrease. This goes with the idea of
the market being in-gear and out-of-gear. Both PVI and NVI work in similar
fashions: Both are a running cumulative of values, which...

Smart money index (SMI) or smart money flow index is a technical analysis indicator demonstrating investors sentiment.
The index was invented and popularized by money manager Don Hays. The indicator is based on intra-day price patterns.
The main idea is that the majority of traders (emotional, news-driven) overreact at the beginning of the trading day
because...
