RSI and CMF V 1.0
Introduction: RSI and CMF
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) are two powerful tools for analyzing market behavior. Each serves a unique purpose and provides insights into different aspects of price action.
The RSI measures the speed and magnitude of price movements. By comparing recent gains to losses over a chosen period, it identifies overbought and oversold conditions in the market. RSI focuses solely on price and offers traders a quick glance at whether an asset is trending too high or too low relative to its recent performance.
On the other hand, the CMF evaluates market behavior by integrating both price and volume. It measures money flow to determine whether an asset is being accumulated (bullish) or distributed (bearish). Positive CMF values indicate buying pressure, while negative values signal selling pressure, making it an essential tool for volume-based analysis.
Our Innovation
Traditionally, indicators like the RSI and CMF are analyzed in separate panels, limiting their connection to the price chart itself. We’ve developed an innovative solution that combines the power of these two indicators, enabling traders to simultaneously measure both price movements and volume flow in a unified visualization. By mapping the RSI and CMF directly onto the price chart, our indicator provides a seamless way to observe and analyze how price momentum and money flow interact with the actual price action.
This integration of volume, price, and momentum into a single chart offers traders a comprehensive tool for deeper market insights and faster decision-making.

Simple Settings Panel with Tooltips
Our indicator comes with an intuitive and user-friendly settings panel, designed for ease of use and full customization. Each input is accompanied by a tooltip to guide users through the settings and ensure clear understanding of their purpose.
Settings Overview
1. Enable RSI over Price:
Tooltip: "Toggle this option to enable or disable the RSI plotted on the price chart."
This setting allows users to control whether the RSI is displayed directly over the price chart.
2. RSI Length:
Default Value: 14
Tooltip: "Set the period for RSI calculation. Typical value is 14."
Adjusts the time period used for RSI calculations, affecting its sensitivity to price changes.
3. RSI Source:
Default Value: Close
Tooltip: "Choose the data source for RSI calculation, usually the closing price."
Allows users to specify which price data (e.g., close, open, high, low) is used in the RSI calculation.
4. Enable CMF over Price:
Tooltip: "Toggle this option to enable or disable the CMF mapped onto the price chart."
Controls the visibility of the CMF line on the price chart.
5. CMF Length:
Default Value: 20
Tooltip: "Set the period for CMF calculation. Typical value is 20."
Adjusts the time period used to compute the CMF, determining the volume-weighted money flow sensitivity.
Description of RSI and CMF Settings
RSI Settings:
The RSI Length determines how many periods are included in the RSI calculation. Shorter lengths make the RSI more reactive to price changes, while longer lengths smooth out fluctuations. The RSI Source provides flexibility in selecting the price input for calculation, which is typically the closing price by default.
CMF Settings:
The CMF Length defines how many periods are used to calculate the Chaikin Money Flow, enabling users to focus on short-term or long-term trends in money flow. Enabling the CMF over price ensures the relationship between volume and price action is visually evident on the price chart.
The Style Settings
panel allows users to customize the visual appearance of the indicator, ensuring clarity and alignment with their preferences. Users can independently adjust the line colors for RSI and CMF, with default settings of green for RSI and red for CMF, enabling a clear distinction between the two.
Additionally, the Fill between RSI and CMF option provides two customizable colors (Color 0 and Color 1) to represent the dynamic fill. This fill visually highlights the relationship between the RSI and CMF, enhancing the interpretability of their interaction on the price chart. The settings also include options to toggle precision, labels on the price scale, and values in the status line for added flexibility.

How to Analyze with RSI and CMF V 1.0
The RSI and CMF V 1.0 indicator provides an intuitive and integrated approach to analyzing market trends, combining momentum and volume dynamics directly on the price chart. Its innovative mapping of RSI and CMF makes it easy to spot key trends and reversals with unmatched clarity.
Key Insights:
1. Dynamic Relationship Between RSI and CMF:
The indicator maps RSI (momentum-based) and CMF (volume-based) values onto the price chart. This makes it easier to analyze how price momentum aligns with money flow.
The color-coded fill highlights the strength of their relationship:
- Blue Fill: RSI is stronger than CMF, indicating price momentum leads the movement.
- Red Fill: CMF dominates RSI, reflecting the strength of volume flow.
2. Spotting Trends:
Uptrends: Consistent blue fills paired with RSI and CMF rising together suggest bullish momentum backed by strong volume.
Downtrends: Red fills with declining RSI and CMF signal bearish pressure driven by selling volume.
3. Reversals and Divergences:
Divergences between price action and the mapped RSI/CMF lines can signal potential reversals.
For instance, if price is rising but RSI and CMF are both falling, it could indicate weakening bullish momentum.
Ease of Use:
Color Coding: The dynamic fills (blue and red) allow for immediate visual identification of trend strength and direction, reducing analysis time.
Overlay on Price: By plotting directly on the price chart, traders don’t need to switch between multiple panels, ensuring the context remains clear.
Customizable Settings: Inputs for length, source, and enable/disable toggles make it adaptable for all trading styles and timeframes.
In conclusion, this indicator offers a visually clear and easy-to-understand way to combine momentum and volume analysis, empowering traders with actionable insights at a glance.

Auto Fibo on IndicatorsThis drawing tool aims to draw auto Fibonacci Retracement Levels on desired indicators.
Users can define the target indicator to draw Auto Fibo Lines, from the "settings tab":
There are six commonly used indicators below the charts that can be selected to draw Fibonacci Retracement lines on:
RSI : Relative Strength Index
CCI : Commodity Channel Index
MFI : Money Flow Index
STOCHASTIC : Stochastic Oscillator
CMF : Chaikin Money Flow
CMO : Chande Momentum Oscillator
Fibonacci Retracement Levels will appear automatically after applying the indicator.
The "Auto Fibo on Indicators" tool looks back. It checks the indicator levels for a desired number of bars and then draws the Fibonacci Levels automatically in the right way, considering the final movements of the indicator.
There are five commonly used Fibonacci Levels added between the Highest and Lowest values such as:
%23.6
%38.2
%50 (Not precisely a Fibonacci Level, indeed)
%61.8 (Golden Ratio)
%78.6
Four extra levels can be added from the settings tab by checking their boxes:
%127.2 (adjustable level)
%161.8
%261.8
%361.8
Default lookback bars of Auto Fibo Levels: 144 (which is also a Fibonacci number)
Default Indicator: RSI
Default Indicator length: 14
Default data source: CLOSE
Users can also define and show overbought and oversold levels by unchecking the "Do not Show Indicator Overbought / Oversold Levels?" button from the settings menu.
In technical analysis, Fibonacci Levels on price can guide valuable trading signals for investors.
Levels can be significant support and resistance levels for breakouts and turning points.
This drawing tool aims to follow those necessary levels on indicators to observe critical levels and breakouts.
GKD-C Chaikin Money Flow [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope Chaikin Money Flow is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average as shown on the chart above
Volatility/Volume: Average Directional Index (ADX) as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: Chaikin Money Flow as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ Chaikin Money Flow
What is Chaikin Money Flow?
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) developed by Marc Chaikin is a volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution over a specified period. The standard CMF period is 21 days. The principle behind the Chaikin Money Flow is the nearer the closing price is to the high, the more accumulation has taken place.
Key point to remember. This indicator requires volume data for the ticker.

Adaptive Fisherized CMFIntroduction
Heyo, here I made a normalized Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator with Inverse Fisher Transform (IFT) and some smoothing techniques.
I had to normalize the indicator in order to fit it to the IFT range (-1 -> 1).
Moreover, the good old adaptive mode is also included in this indicator. It uses Ehlers superb dominant cycle techniques.
It also has divergence detection, several options for individualisation and doesn't repaint.
Usage

Signals
CMF above 0 => bullish market
CMF below 0 => bearish market
(You can also use the inner bands instead of the zero line, to make these signals more precise)
Bullish regular/hidden divergence => long
Bearish regular/hidden divergence => short

Greed and Fear ScoreHi All,
This is Greed and Fear Score script. The uses of this indicator is to let users know what is the state for each bar closed.
Warren Buffett once said that it is wise for investors to be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.
Greed & Fear Score (range from 1 - 5) has taken multiple measurements into consideration such as CCI, MFI, RSI, RVI and William %R.
The range of score is from 1 - 5 indicating weak to strong.
Red/Yellow represents Greed score.
Blue/Light Blue represents Fear score.
The Bull & Bear Transition Score (range from 1 - 10) is to measure how strong power needed to reverse the Greed or Fear State.
It is a powerful tool that incorporates CMF, MFI, CCI, MOMENTUM, OBV, RSI, RVI, WILLIAN %R, PRICE OSCILLATOR and Relative Volume.
How to use Bull & Bear Transition Score?
The higher the Bull & Bear Score, the more likely it will change from one state to another.
How to find BEST opportunity? Here comes the special symbol.
User can choose best fit combination by using filtering.

Chaikin Money Flow IndicatorChaikin Money Flow (CMF) measures the amount of Money Flow Volume over a specific period, typically 20 or 21 days. The resulting indicator fluctuates above/below the zero line just like an oscillator.
Chaikin Money Flow sometimes only briefly crosses the zero line with a move that turns the indicator barely positive or negative. There is no follow-through and this zero line cross ends up becoming a whipsaw (bad signal).
To avoid the false positives, this implementation of the CMF two thresholds: the bullish threshold a little above zero (+0.05) and the bearish threshold a little below zero (-0.05).
Note: the two thresholds can be customized.
A like is always appreciated. :-)

CMF Osc - Chaikin Money Flow Oscillator [UTS]The well known Chaikin Money Flow Indicator as oscillator version.
General Usage
The indicator runs both above and below zero, made to denote whether an asset is in a bullish (above zero) or bearish (below zero) trend.
It can be used to confirm trends, as well as spot possible trading signals due to divergences.
A benefit of the oscillator version is that it can produce LONG or SHORT signals on zero line cross.
Moving Averages
4 different Moving Averages are available:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
Chaikin Oscillator (ADL Oscillator) [UTS]The Chaikin Oscillator is basically an oscillator version of the Accumulation / Distribution Index, also known as ADL Indicator.
General Usage
The indicator runs both above and below zero, made to denote whether an asset is in a bullish (above zero) or bearish (below zero) trend.
It can be used to confirm trends, as well as spot possible trading signals due to divergences.
A benefit of the oscillator version is that it can produce LONG or SHORT signals on zero line cross.
Moving Averages
4 different Moving Averages are available:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
PVT Osc - Price Volume Trend Oscillator [UTS]The oscillator version of the Price Volume Trend indicator (PVT) can be considered as a leading indicator of future price movements. The PVT Indicator is similar to the On Balance Volume indicator as it is also used to measure the strength of a trend.
The difference between the OBV and the PVT is that where the OBV adds all volumes when price achieves higher daily closes and subtracts them when price registers a lower daily close, the PVT adds or subtracts only a portion of the volume from the cumulative total in relation to a percentage change in price.
The general market consensus is that this difference enables the PVT to more accurately represent money flow volumes in and out of a stock or commodity.
The PVT has been designed so that it is capable of forecasting directional changes in price. For instance, if the price of a stock is rising and the PVT begins to fall, then this is indicative that a price reversal could occur very soon.
The general consensus is that the PVT is more accurate at detecting new trading opportunities than the OBV because of the differences in their construction. The OBV is designed so that it adds the same amount of volume whether the price closes upwards by just a small fraction or by multiples of its day opening value. On the other hand, the PVT adds volume proportional to the amount the price closed higher.
General Usage
Plain old PVT can be used to confirm trends, as well as spot possible trading signals due to divergences.
A benefit of the oscillator version is that it can produce LONG or SHORT signals on zero line cross.
Or controversy, disallow LONG trades in bearish territory and disallow SHORT trades in bullish territory.
Moving Averages
4 different Moving Averages are available:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
OBV Osc - On Balance Volume Oscillator [UTS]The oscillator version of the well known On Balance Volume Indicator (OBV).
General Usage
Plain old OBV can be used to confirm trends, as well as spot possible trading signals due to divergences.
A benefit of the oscillator version is that it can produce LONG or SHORT signals on zero line cross.
Moving Averages
4 different Moving Averages are available:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
MFI - Money Flow Index [UTS]Money Flow Index (MFI) is the technical indicator, which indicates the rate at which money is invested into a security and then withdrawn from it.
Construction and interpretation of the indicator is similar to Relative Strength Index with the only difference that volume is important to MFI.
Usage:
When analyzing the money flow index one needs to take into consideration the following points:
divergences between the indicator and price movement. If prices grow while MFI falls (or vice versa), there is a great probability of a price turn;
Money Flow Index value, which is over 80 or under 20, signals correspondingly of a potential peak or bottom of the market.
Common known variants of this type of indicator are the On Balance Volume, Chaikin Oscillator or Chaikin Money Flow.
Based on www.metatrader5.com
ADL - Accumulation Distribution Line [UTS]an underlying asset.
It is determined by the changes in price and volume. The volume acts as a weighting coefficient at the change of price — the higher the coefficient (the volume) is the greater the contribution of the price change (for this period of time) will be in the value of the indicator. The indicator is also known as Accumulation / Distribution Index.
Common known variants of this type of indicator are the On Balance Volume, Chaikin Oscillator or Chaikin Money Flow.
Based on www.metatrader5.com
Ultra CMF + Stoch. and Choppiness IndexThis is a fairly complex, but powerful indicator that combines 3 different indicators.
1. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)-
Oscillator that uses the sum of Money Flow Volume (MFV) values over n periods to determine and compare the amount of
buying/selling pressure. We modified the CMF's scale so that values fluctuate between {-100, 100} for easier visualization.
If (CMF > 0)
then (buying pressure > selling pressure)
If (CMF < 0)
then (buying pressure < selling pressure)
Thus, CMF can be a valuable tool for confirming both uptrends and downtrends, as well as identifying divergences as a negative CMF
value in the midst of an uptrend indicates lack of strength.
In addition, we set bounds for the CMF values to prevent whipsaws during periods of horizontal price movement.
The CMF is shown on the bottom of the chart as the teal and fuchsia histogram.
Teal bars means (CMF < 0) and fuchsia bars means (CMF > 0).
2. Choppiness Index -
The Choppiness Index is another oscillator that works synergistically with the Chaikin Money Flow to prevent entries during choppy
conditions (when there is no clear trend direction and movement is horizontal). Although it is blind to the actual direction of the
price movement, we use it to distinguish periods of consolidation from "trendy" markets. Values fluctuate between {0, 100}, with 50
acting as the center-point. We've also set thresholds for chop values that are utlized to optimize entry and exit timing.
The Choppiness Index is plotted as the green and pink circle line at the top of the chart. If movement is choppy(choppy > 50), then
circles are pink. If choppiness is low(chop < 50), then the circles are green.
3. Fast and Slow Stochastics -
Lastly, we use a fast and a slow stochastic momentum oscillator. This is a fairly common approach, as it allows us to detect signals
on a wider range of sensitivity.The slow stochastic confirms the high quantity of signals generated by the more hyper-sensitive
fast stochastic.
The fast and slow K and D values are not plotted on the graph by default, but users can change that in the inputs to choose which
ones to show on the graph(as shown in the bottom pane). The upper and lower bounds can also be chosen to increase/decrease
signal sensitivity.
All values such as lengths, bounds, etc. can be changed by users through the input options.
The Graph:
Chaikin Money Flow - Shown as the teal and pink zero-centered oscillator at the bottom of the chart. Bars are teal when CMF is less than
zero and fuchsia when CMF value is greater than 0. Users can choose whether the CMF is plotted by changing the 'plotCMF' input.
-The CMF histogram is shown in the second and third panes.
Choppiness Index - Plotted as the pink and teal line of circles at the top of the chart. Circles are pink if they are above 50 (high chop) and
teal when they are below 50 (low chop). Users can choose whether it is plotted through the 'plotChop' input.
-The Choppiness Index is shown in the second and third panes.
Stochastics - Not plotted by default, but users can choose to have them shown by adjusting the values in the input options menu. If you want,
there is an option to plot both fast and slow K and D values (4 total lines) and the upper and lower bounds that are used to determine entries
and exits.
NOTE: I tried to show all the ways that you can choose to display all the different indicators in the different panes, but there are a million
different ways you can choose to have the chart laid out through changing the inputs. You could have it be as simple as plotting just the 'B'
and 'S' for entries and exits or a complex graph with the CMF, Chop, and stochastics all plotted together.
HOW TO USE:
There is a set of conditionals for each of the three indicators to determine both entry and exit points. To simplify this, we decided to divide them
into red circles for exit conditions and green squares for entry conditions.
LONG ENTRIES:
1. If the conditions for the stochastics are met, a green square is plotted at the top of the chart.
2. If the conditions for the CMF are met, a green square is plotted at the center of the chart.
3. If the conditions for Choppiness Index are met, a blue circle is plotted at the bottom.
TRADE WHEN: There is a green square at the top, green square in the middle, and a blue circle at the bottom.
A GREEN 'B' IS PLOTTED IN THE CENTER OF THE GRAPH WHEN THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS ARE TRUE...Enter position at that point.
LONG EXIT:
1. If the conditions for the stochastics are met, a red circle is plotted at the top of the chart.
2. If the conditions for CMF are met, a red circle is plotted at the center of the chart.
3. If the conditions for Choppiness Index are met, a blue circle is plotted the bottom.
TRADE WHEN: There is a red circle at the top, red circle in the middle, and blue circle at the bottom.
A RED 'S' IS PLOTTED AT THE CENTER OF THE GRAPH WHEN THE ABOVE REQUIREMENTS ARE TRUE....Exit Position at that point.
ALERTS:
An alert is sent when all buy conditions are met, informing the trader to enter a long position.
The same is done for sell conditions.
Like I said earlier, there are tons of input options to change this indicator to fit your specific use, as well as display options. I've tailored the settings
for trading BTC/USD, but it is a very versatile indicator and can be adapted for whatever you're trading.
ALPHA: VolumePLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE PURCHASING & USING THE ALPHA: Volume INDICATOR. Saves you and me some time in emails and messages. :)
Volume is the only true predictive method for an assets movement.
Most of my followers know I am volume-obsessed, volume precedes price and identifying major spikes in volume prior to an assets movement is one of the most valuable finds a trader can accomplish. I have spent more time studying volume then any other analysis technique. During this time I have become frustrated time and time again with the inefficiencies our typical volume indicators produce. We have the old bar volume indicator everyone sees on their charts, OBV, CMF, Accumulation/Distribution, MFI etc. etc., the list goes on. I have my favorites that I have written about in past publications, but none provide a real time volume view to my liking.
Frustration has led me to create something I truly believe is groundbreaking.... And it wasn't easy, by any means.
ALPHA: Volume
The ALPHA series is a suite of indicators designed to improve analysis and past analysis techniques. The ALPHA: Volume provides real time volume in addition to identifying major positions and true visibility into where and when positions are being taken. Being able to consistently identify these qualities creates an invaluable edge on the market.
The average buyer of assets are a drop in the bucket in terms of how they impact daily transactions (volume) compared to institutional buyers. The institutional buyers typically buy in large blocks. When institutional buyers get into the market, they cause significant increase in demand. Like any case of supply and demand, when demand increases and supply stays the same, price will increase. When an asset becomes desirable, it is more likely that supply may decrease (as current holders will be less willing to sell) which will cause even more price pressure.
Based on this volume precedes price analysis, it is probably obvious that there is a herd mentality when it comes to the market. When one institution is buying a large block of an asset, other institutions will spot the buying and be motivated to jump in as well. This increases the pressure on the assets price. You and I are small investors so it is important to join the herd and let the supply and demand caused by the institutions carry our investments higher.
Introduction
It's fairly simple to read, the default settings show an area with breaks view meaning positive and negative values, this is useful for seeing trends, pressure, and measuring divergences. Additionally, there is coloring to keep an eye on. To keep it simple:
Blue: Buying
Red: Selling
Teal: Heavy buying/major positions being taken.
Orange: Heavy selling/major positions being taken.
Let's get into what ALPHA: Volume does, it has numerous capabilities that I am still discovering, identifying false rallies/sell offs, telegraphing major moves, identifying underwater positions, spotting divergences, bottoms, tops and on and on. One thing to note that it doesn't do is show cumulative volume such as the OBV, this can be useful for identifying rising wedges and similar patterns, I will no longer be using other volume indicators unless I am identifying a pattern that is reliant on cumulative volume.
In this example below, we see heavy selling causing a dip that was then bought up with major positions causing a rally because demand exceeded supply.
The next example shows large positions being taken drying up supply ultimately causing a rally, very well telegraphed.
Same scenario but heavy selling weakening demand.
Originally, I planned on going on and on with examples, but I am going to keep this simple & short as I don't want to prolong the publishing. This will sell itself as more people discover the quality and accuracy. Still not sold? No worries, I'll be doing all of my volume analysis off of this indicator, so stay tuned for more in depth analysis with it on TradingView and twitter, I am truly excited for this indicator to be used by traders and analysts. Those of you that purchase and use it, (already orders off of my site and I haven't even published this) feel free to tag me in a tweet with a chart if you have questions, there will be times when volume is not making sense and perhaps I can offer insight into what is happening.
Conclusion
Before I get messages, "But Nick, the volume indicator was wrong here!".... No it wasn't, its not a signal generator, it is measuring real time volume. I cannot fix peoples' faulty positions that the indicator is showing. Volume should never be used independent of price action & other forms of analysis to determine buying or selling patterns. Volume is extremely important as a confirmation for technical indicators and I strongly suggest you use it as such. I will be doing several videos on this over the next couple weeks on my youtube channel showing ways to confirm other indicators with volume. Ichimoku goes great with it btw :).
Please note this works on all assets on all time frames, during my volume studies with this indicator I noticed lots of noise depending on the time frame, so I have implemented a feature that automatically adjusts to the correct settings based on what time frame you are on. I added a masking feature to keep my work proprietary that shows 30 and 500 (not true) as the settings in case my formula is ever figured out (doubtful but the capitalist in me that believes it is ok to protect what you work for) If you uncheck "Use Preset Periods" in settings then it will allow you to adjust the periods and peak limit, I don't recommend playing around with the settings as you can disturb the balance I've found. However, the option is there for the analysts that are into experimenting. If you feel the need to adjust some things then peak limit is the only thing I recommend adjusting, it allows you to view higher parameter limits on the volume spike to measure divergences of very large orders, the peak limit doesn't matter so much as long as it indicates the teal or orange, some spikes go as high as 80K in testing. In the end the size is typically irrelevant, but it is there in case you want to measure it or have curiosity.
I want to provide research and discoveries from its users and myself on a regular basis. I will be holding discussions & providing research in my discord server that I run with a team of very talented analysts. The link for that is here: discord.gg
This indicator is available for TradingView users on my web site www.thetradingwizard.com for $99, that includes a life time subscription. There is also a monthly subscription option for all three indicators from the ALPHA series. (Please see my published scripts for information on the other two) Both purchase options include updates and support as a user.
This will be the end of the ALPHA indicator series for a while, after finally conquering volume I am moving on with the formulas from the ALPHA series to bigger things. Enjoy!
