Short Description:
The Relative Volume Index (RVI) allows traders to visualize and analyze volume trends using customizable volume bands, moving averages, and alerts for high and low volume thresholds. It also includes options to display daily and weekly relative volume for more comprehensive analysis.
Full Description:
The Relative Volume Index is a robust tool that helps traders identify significant volume trends and anomalies in the market. By comparing the current volume to its moving average, this indicator can highlight periods of heightened or reduced volume activity, signaling potential breakouts, breakdowns, or volume spikes.
Key Features:
Relative Volume Comparison:
Compares the current volume to a customizable moving average, allowing traders to easily spot overbought or oversold conditions based on relative volume levels.
Volume Alerts:
Customizable high and low relative volume alerts, enabling quick notification when volume exceeds or drops below user-defined thresholds.
Custom Moving Averages:
Select from several moving average types (SMA, EMA, WMA) to calculate the average volume over a given length, allowing flexibility in analyzing volume trends.
Volume Normalization:
For better readability, volumes greater than 1000 are divided by 1000 and shown with a "K" suffix (thousands), providing a cleaner visualization of large values.
Volume Bands:
Configurable high, average, and low volume bands are plotted on the chart for quick reference, allowing traders to visually assess volume zones.
Daily and Weekly Relative Volume:
Options to display relative volume data on a daily or weekly basis, giving traders a clearer picture of short-term and long-term volume trends.
Customization Options:
Length: Customize the period for the moving average calculation.
Volume Moving Average: Option to show or hide the moving average of the volume (normalized in 'K' for readability).
Alerts: Set high and low volume thresholds and configure alerts for immediate notifications when these thresholds are met.
Volume Bands: Toggle on/off volume bands to visually distinguish between high, average, and low volume zones.
Daily/Weekly Relative Volume: Optional display of relative volume in comparison to daily and weekly averages.
Recommended Settings:
High Volume Alert Threshold: 2.0
Low Volume Alert Threshold: 0.5
Moving Average Length: 14
Weekly Average Volume Display: On, for broader trend insights.
How to Use:
This indicator provides traders with a more intuitive understanding of market volume dynamics, allowing them to spot significant volume changes and react accordingly. Use it to track volume-based signals for market moves, such as breakouts or reversals.
Alerts:
High Volume Alert: Be notified when relative volume exceeds the high threshold, signaling potential increased market activity.
Low Volume Alert: Receive alerts when relative volume drops below the low threshold, indicating a potential reduction in market interest.
