The "Bullish/Bearish Volume" indicator helps traders identify discrepancies between price movement and trading volumes. Sometimes the price trends in one direction while trading volumes indicate opposing intentions among market participants. This indicator aims to identify such divergences, assisting traders in making more informed and balanced trading decisions.
Key features:
1. Directional Volume Differences: The indicator calculates volumes by separating them into two main categories: buying and selling. When the closing price is higher than the opening price, buying volume is shown in green, while selling volume is shown in red when the closing price is lower than the opening price. This accurate classification helps identify which volume type predominates in the current interval.
2. Histograms by Fixed Time Intervals: Collecting data from a fixed time interval (1 minute), the indicator analyzes and sums up buying and selling volumes regardless of the selected chart timeframe. This provides a more detailed market view, allowing traders to accurately gauge sentiment within any chosen timeframe.
3. Total Volume: The indicator aggregates buying and selling volumes, representing total trading activity in gray transparent bars. This gives traders a clear visual representation of overall volume activity in the market for a selected period.
4. Volume Delta and its Moving Average: The volume delta (the difference between buying and selling volumes) is highlighted in blue, allowing for monitoring shifts in the balance of buying and selling power. Additionally, the indicator includes a moving average of the delta, shown as a blue line, to smooth out short-term fluctuations and help traders easily identify long-term trends in volume shifts.
5. Volume Volatility: A histogram representing volume volatility offers insight into trading activity variability, uncovering abnormal spikes or lulls in market dynamics.
Bullish/Bearish Volume is a powerful tool that can break down market flows into understandable signals, enabling traders to better recognize imbalances and make informed decisions.
