Delta Volume Signals by Claudio [hapharmonic]Modifications:
Percentages without decimals.
I replaced the 'Current Volume' row with two boxes: "Δ Vol" and its value, which changes color depending on the direction of the bearish/bullish candle.
Signals can change color in the settings.
Box spacing so the table doesn't constantly change size.
To be modified:
The Net Volume sign shouldn't change to negative when the candle is red.
If anyone does this, let me know...

DeltaFlow Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The DeltaFlow Volume Profile builds a compact volume profile next to price and enriches every bin with flow context : bullish vs. bearish participation (%), a per-bin Delta % , an optional Delta Heat Map , and a PoC band with the bin’s absolute volume. This lets you see not just where volume clustered, but who (buyers or sellers) dominated inside each price slice.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Binned Volume Profile : Price range over a user-defined LookBack is split into Bins ; each bin aggregates traded volume.
Bull/Bear Split : Within every bin, volume is separated by candle direction into Bull Volume and Bear Volume , then normalized to % of the bin’s displayed size.
Delta % : The difference between Bull % and Bear % for the bin. Positive = buyer dominance; negative = seller dominance.
Delta Heat Map : Bin background shading that scales with both total volume strength and delta bias.
PoC (Point of Control) : The most significant bin gets a PoC band and a label with its absolute volume.
🔵 FEATURES
Profile with Flow : A clean horizontal volume bar per bin plus stacked Bull % and Bear % .
Per-Bin Delta Label : A readable “Δ xx%” tag at the start of each bin shows dominance at a glance.
Delta Heat Map : Optional gradient that intensifies with higher volume and stronger delta.
PoC Highlight : Optional PoC band colored separately, labeled with absolute volume (e.g., “1.23M”).
Configurable Inputs : LookBack, number of Bins (10–100), toggles for Delta, Heat Map, Volume Bars, and PoC color.
Readable Colors : Separate inputs for bullish (volume +) and bearish (volume –) hues.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Set the window : Choose LookBack and Bins to balance detail vs. performance (more bins = finer resolution).
Enable “Volume Bars” to display the bull/bear split as two stacked percent bars inside each bin.
High Bull % near support → constructive demand.
High Bear % near resistance → active supply.
Use Δ labels (toggle “Delta”) to quickly spot bins with clear buyer/seller control; combine with price position for confluence.
Turn on Delta Heat Map to prioritize areas with both large volume and strong imbalance.
Watch the PoC : The PoC band marks the most traded (and often magnet) level; its label shows absolute size for context.
Trade ideas :
Breakout continuation when Δ stays positive across consecutive upper bins.
Reversion risk when price enters a large bearish-Δ cluster below.
Manage risk around the PoC; reactions there can be sharp.
🔵 CONCLUSION
DeltaFlow Volume Profile upgrades a classic profile with flow intelligence. The bull/bear split, explicit Δ %, heat-weighted backdrop, and PoC volume label make dominant participation and key price shelves obvious. Use it to filter levels, time entries with imbalance, and validate breakouts or fades with objective volume-flow evidence.
Volume by Time [LuxAlgo]The Volume by Time indicator collects volume data for every point in time over the day and displays the average volume of the specific dataset collected at each respective bar.
The indicator overlays the current volume and the historical average to allow for better comparisons.
🔶 USAGE
Throughout the day, the volume of every bar is stored in groups organized by the time when each bar occurred.
Over time, the datasets accumulate, and from that, we can simply determine the average value at each specific time of the day.
The display is a histogram style, which consists of hollow bars and solid filled columns.
-Hollow bars represent the average volume at that time of the day.
-Solid columns display the current volume from the current bar.
By default, the entire history of data is used, but if desired, the number of days under analysis can be specified to provide a more relevant point of view.
A readout of the number of days being analyzed can be seen in the status bar at any time.
Note: Due to partial sessions, it is typical to see this value change throughout the day; this is simply due to the fact that not every trading session has the exact same schedule 100% of the time.
The analysis type can also be specified; these can be either Average (Default) or Median.
Additionally, a Bi-directional can be toggled for a distinct difference between upwards volume and downwards volume.
🔶 SETTINGS
Analysis Type: Choose between Average or Median analysis modes.
Length (Days): Set the number of days to use for analysis. Set to 0 for full data (Default 0).
Bi-Directional Toggle: Toggle between one-sided or two-sided display.
Intrabar Volume Delta — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)Intrabar Volume Delta Grid — RealTime + History (Stocks/Crypto/Forex)
# Short Description
Shows intrabar Up/Down volume, Delta (absolute/relative) and UpShare% in a compact grid for both real-time and historical bars. Includes an MTF (M1…D1) dashboard, contextual coloring, density controls, and alerts on Δ and UpShare%. Smart historical splitting (“History Mode”) for Crypto/Futures/FX.
---
# What it does (Quick)
* **UpVol / DownVol / Δ / UpShare%** — visualizes order-flow inside each candle.
* **Real-time** — accumulates intrabar volume live by tick-direction.
* **History Mode** — splits Up/Down on closed bars via simple or range-aware logic.
* **MTF Dashboard** — one table view across M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1 (Vol, Up/Down, Δ%, Share, Trend).
* **Contextual opacity** — stronger signals appear bolder.
* **Label density** — draw every N-th bar and limit to last X bars for performance.
* **Alerts** — thresholds for |Δ|, Δ%, and UpShare%.
---
# How it works (Real-Time vs History)
* **Real-time (open bar):** volume increments into **UpVolRT** or **DownVolRT** depending on last price move (↑ goes to Up, ↓ to Down). This approximates live order-flow even when full tick history isn’t available.
* **History (closed bars):**
* **None** — no split (Up/Down = 0/0). Safest for equities/indices with unreliable tick history.
* **Approx (Close vs Open)** — all volume goes to candle direction (green → Up 100%, red → Down 100%). Fast but yields many 0/100% bars.
* **Price Action Based** — splits by Close position within High-Low range; strength = |Close−mid|/(High−Low). Above mid → more Up; below mid → more Down. Falls back to direction if High==Low.
* **Auto** — **Stocks/Index → None**, **Crypto/Futures/FX → Approx**. If you see too many 0/100 bars, switch to **Price Action Based**.
---
# Rows & Meaning
* **Volume** — total bar volume (no split).
* **UpVol / DownVol** — directional intrabar volume.
* **Delta (Δ)** — UpVol − DownVol.
* **Absolute**: raw units
* **Relative (Δ%)**: Δ / (Up+Down) × 100
* **Both**: shows both formats
* **UpShare%** — UpVol / (Up+Down) × 100. >50% bullish, <50% bearish.
* Helpful icons: ▲ (>65%), ▼ (<35%).
---
# MTF Dashboard (🔧 Enable Dashboard)

# How to use (Quick Start)
1. Add the indicator to your chart (overlay=false → separate pane).
2. **History Mode**:
* Crypto/Futures/FX → keep **Auto** or switch to **Price Action Based** for richer history.
* Stocks/Index → prefer **None** or **Price Action Based** for safer splits.
3. **Label Density**: start with **Limit to last X bars = 30–150** and **Show every N-th bar = 2–4**.
4. **Contextual Coloring**: keep on to emphasize strong Δ% / Share moves.
5. **Dashboard**: enable and pick only the TFs you actually use.
6. **Alerts**: set thresholds (ideas below).
---
# Alerts (in TradingView)
Add alert → pick this indicator → choose any of:
* **Delta exceeds threshold** (|Δ| > X)
* **UpShare above threshold** (UpShare% > X)
* **UpShare below threshold** (UpShare% < X)
* **Relative Delta above +X%**
* **Relative Delta below −X%**
**Starter thresholds (tune per symbol & TF):**
* **Crypto M1/M5**: Δ% > +25…35 (bullish), Δ% < −25…−35 (bearish)
* **FX (tick volume)**: UpShare > 60–65% or < 40–35%
* **Stocks (liquid)**: set **Absolute Δ** by typical volume scale (e.g., 50k / 100k / 500k)
---
# Notes by Market Type
* **Crypto/Futures**: 24/7 and high liquidity — **Price Action Based** often gives nicer history splits than Approx.
* **Forex (FX)**: TradingView volume is typically **tick volume** (not true exchange volume). Treat Δ/Share as tick-based flow, still very useful intraday.
* **Stocks/Index**: historical tick detail can be limited. **None** or **Price Action Based** is a safer default. If you see too many 0/100% shares, switch away from Approx.
---
# “All Timeframes” accuracy
* Works on **any TF** (M1 → D1/W1).
* **Real-time accuracy** is strong for the open bar (live accumulation).
* **Historical accuracy** depends on your **History Mode** (None = safest, Approx = fastest/simplest, Price Action Based = more nuanced).
* The MTF dashboard uses `request.security` and therefore follows the same logic per TF.
---
# Trade Ideas (Use-Cases)
* **Scalping (M1–M5)**: a spike in Δ% + UpShare>65% + rising total Vol → momentum entries.
* **Intraday (M5–M30–H1)**: when multiple TFs show aligned Δ%/Share (e.g., M5 & M15 bullish), join the trend.
* **Swing (H4–D1)**: persistent Δ% > 0 and UpShare > 55–60% → structural accumulation bias.
---
# Advantages
* **True-feeling live flow** on the open bar.
* **Adaptable history** (three modes) to match data quality.
* **Clean visual layout** with guides, compact numbers, contextual opacity.
* **MTF snapshot** for quick bias read.
* **Performance controls** (last X bars, every N-th bar).
---
# Limitations & Care
* **FX uses tick volume** — interpret Δ/Share accordingly.
* **History Mode is an approximation** — confirm with trend/structure/liquidity context.
* **Illiquid symbols** can produce noisy or contradictory signals.
* **Too many labels** can slow charts → raise N, lower X, or disable guides.
---
# Best Practices (Checklist)
* Crypto/Futures: prefer **Price Action Based** for history.
* Stocks: **None** or **Price Action Based**; be cautious with **Approx**.
* FX: pair Δ% & UpShare% with session context (London/NY) and volatility.
* If labels overlap: tweak **Row Spacing** and **Text Size**.
* In the dashboard, keep only the TFs you actually act on.
* Alerts: start around **Δ% 25–35** for “punchy” moves, then refine per asset.
---
# FAQ
**1) Why do some closed bars show 0%/100% UpShare?**
You’re on **Approx** history mode. Switch to **Price Action Based** for smoother splits.
**2) Δ% looks strong but price doesn’t move — why?**
Δ% is an **order-flow** measure. Price also depends on liquidity pockets, sessions, news, higher-timeframe structure. Use confirmations.
**3) Performance slowdown — what to do?**
Lower **Limit to last X bars** (e.g., 30–100), increase **Show every N-th bar** (2–6), or disable **Draw Guide Lines**.
**4) Dashboard values don’t “match” the grid exactly?**
Dashboard is multi-TF via `request.security` and follows the history logic per TF. Differences are normal.

Standardized Cumulative Deltas [LuxAlgo]The Standardized Cumulative Deltas tool allows traders to compare the cumulative standardized open-close difference for up to 10 different tickers, allowing them to visualize the general sentiment for all selected tickers.
These results allow the construction of two areas showing the average or extreme bullish and bearish cumulative change for all enabled tickers, providing a summarized view of the overall ticker group sentiment.
🔶 USAGE
This tool is meant to give a full picture of the individuals and/or overall selected tickers, and unlike classical indicators, the displayed series of values is not meant to be directly interpreted over time.
Given the selected lookback period, a majority of observations being above 0 indicate an overall bullish market for the asset.
By default, the auto lookback period feature is enabled, allowing the tool to use all the visible bars for its calculations. Traders can also set the lookback period manually. The above chart uses a fixed lookback period of 500.
Up to 10 tickers can be used. While major cryptocurrencies are set by default, the users can set a specific basket of assets, such as US equities, forex pairs, commodities, etc.
🔹 Densities
The provided areas, here called densities, can be used to get an overall sentiment of the selected tickers. The upper density (bullish) processes positive deltas, while the lower one (bearish) processes negative ones.
Interpretation is subject to the selected "Density Mode".
Average: Densities track the average bullish/bearish cumulative deltas for the selected tickers. For example, a more prominent bullish density would indicate that, on average, cumulative deltas were positive across the tickers.
Envelope: Densities track the extreme values made by bullish/bearish cumulative deltas for the selected tickers. Here, a more prominent density would indicate more volatile bullish/bearish movements, depending on the density.
🔹 Dashboard
The tool features a dashboard with active tickers and their respective colors for traders' convenience.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Densities
Densities are obtained by applying a forward-backward exponential moving average on the average, or the highest/lowest cumulative series, depending on the selected Density Mode.
The resulting densities are smoothed by the "Smoothing" parameter located in the Settings panel, with higher values returning smoother envelopes with less variability.
Do note that the smoothing method used here is subject to repainting.
🔶 SETTINGS
Lookback: Select the lookback period and enable/disable the Auto Lookback feature
Tickers: Enable/disable and select up to 10 tickers and their colors
Density Mode: Determine how densities are calculated

Renko Open Range delta
Delta Renko-Style Indicator Guide (NQ Focus)
This indicator takes inspiration from the Renko Chart concept and is optimized for the RTH session (New York time zone), specifically applied to the Nasdaq futures (NQ) product.
If you’re unfamiliar with Renko charts, it may help to review their basics first, as this indicator borrows their clean, block-based perspective to simplify price interpretation.
⸻
🔧 How the Indicator Works
• At market open (9:30 AM EST), the indicator plots a horizontal open price line, referred to as 0 delta.
• From this anchor, it plots 10 incremental levels (deltas) both above and below the open, each spaced by 62.5 NQ points.
Why 62.5?
• With NQ currently trading in the 23,000–24,000 range, a 62.5-point move represents roughly 0.26% of the daily average range.
• This makes each delta step significant enough to capture movement while filtering out smaller noise.
A mini table (location adjustable) displays:
• Current delta zone
• Last touched delta level
This gives you a quick snapshot of where price sits relative to the open.
⸻
📈 How to Read the Market
• At the open, price typically oscillates between 0 and +1 / -1 delta.
• A break beyond this zone often signals stronger directional intent:
• Trending day: price can push into +2, +3, +4, +5 (or the inverse for downside).
• Range day: expect price to bounce between +1, 0, -1 deltas.
⚠️ Note: This is a visualization tool, not a trading system. Its purpose is to help you quickly recognize range vs. trend conditions.
⸻
📊 Example
• In this case, NQ reached +1 delta shortly after open.
• A retest of 0 delta followed, and price later surged to +5/+6 deltas (helped by Fed news).
⸻
🛠️ Practical Uses
This indicator can help you:
• Define profit targets
• Place hard stop levels
• Gauge whether a counter-trend trade is worth the risk
⚠️ Caution: Avoid counter-trend trades if price is aggressively pushing toward +5/+6 or -5/-6 deltas, as trend exhaustion usually hasn’t set in yet.
⸻
🔄 Adapting for ES (S&P Futures)
• On NQ, 62.5 points ≈ $1,250 per contract.
• For ES, this translates to 25 points.
• Since 1 NQ contract ≈ 2 ES contracts in dollar terms, an optimized ES delta step would be 12.5 points.
You may also experiment with different delta values (e.g., 50 or 31.25 for NQ) to align with your risk profile and trading style.
⸻
🧪 Extending Beyond NQ
You can experiment with applying this indicator to ES or even stocks, but non-futures assets may require additional calibration and testing.
⸻
✅ Bottom line: This tool provides a clean, Renko-inspired framework for quickly gauging trend vs. range conditions, setting realistic profit targets, and avoiding poor counter-trend setups.
CVD Absorption + Confirmation [Orderflow & Volume]This indicator detects bullish and bearish absorption setups by combining Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) with price action, candlestick, and volume confirmations.
🔹 What is Absorption?
Absorption happens when aggressive buyers/sellers push CVD to new highs or lows, but price fails to follow through.
Bearish absorption: CVD makes a higher high, but price does not.
Bullish absorption: CVD makes a lower low, but price does not.
This often signals that limit orders are absorbing aggressive market orders, creating potential reversal points.
🔹 Confirmation Patterns
Absorption signals are only shown if they are validated by one of the following patterns:
Engulfing candle with low volume → reversal faces little resistance.
Engulfing candle with high volume → strong aggressive participation.
Pin bar with high volume → absorption visible in the wick.
CVD flattening / slope reversal → shift in aggressive order flow.
🔹 Signals
✅ Bullish absorption confirmed → Green label below the bar.
❌ Bearish absorption confirmed → Red label above the bar.
Each label represents a potential reversal setup after orderflow absorption is validated.
🔹 Alerts
Built-in alerts are included for both bullish and bearish confirmations, so you can track setups in real-time without watching the chart 24/7.
📌 How to Use:
Best applied at key levels (supply/demand, VWAP, OR, liquidity zones).
Look for confluence with your trading strategy before taking entries.
Works on all markets and timeframes where volume is reliable.
Advanced Volume Profile Pro Delta + POC + VAH/VAL# Advanced Volume Profile Pro - Delta + POC + VAH/VAL Analysis System
## WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES
This script creates a comprehensive volume profile analysis system that combines traditional volume-at-price distribution with delta volume calculations, Point of Control (POC) identification, and Value Area (VAH/VAL) analysis. Unlike standard volume indicators that show only total volume over time, this script analyzes volume distribution across price levels and estimates buying vs selling pressure using multiple calculation methods to provide deeper market structure insights.
## WHY THIS COMBINATION IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL
**The Problem Solved:** Traditional volume indicators show when volume occurs but not where price finds acceptance or rejection. Standalone volume profiles lack directional bias information, while basic delta calculations don't provide structural context. Traders need to understand both volume distribution AND directional sentiment at key price levels.
**The Solution:** This script implements an integrated approach that:
- Maps volume distribution across price levels using configurable row density
- Estimates delta (buying vs selling pressure) using three different methodologies
- Identifies Point of Control (highest volume price level) for key support/resistance
- Calculates Value Area boundaries where 70% of volume traded
- Provides real-time alerts for key level interactions and volume imbalances
**Unique Features:**
1. **Developing POC Visualization**: Real-time tracking of Point of Control migration throughout the session via blue dotted trail, revealing institutional accumulation/distribution patterns before they complete
2. **Multi-Method Delta Calculation**: Price Action-based, Bid/Ask estimation, and Cumulative methods for different market conditions
3. **Adaptive Timeframe System**: Auto-adjusts calculation parameters based on chart timeframe for optimal performance
4. **Flexible Profile Types**: N Bars Back (precise control), Days Back (calendar-based), and Session-based analysis modes
5. **Advanced Imbalance Detection**: Identifies and highlights significant buying/selling imbalances with configurable thresholds
6. **Comprehensive Alert System**: Monitors POC touches, Value Area entry/exit, and major volume imbalances
## HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS TECHNICALLY
### Core Volume Profile Methodology:
**1. Price Level Distribution:**
- Divides price range into user-defined rows (10-50 configurable)
- Calculates row height: `(Highest Price - Lowest Price) / Number of Rows`
- Distributes each bar's volume across price levels it touched proportionally
**2. Delta Volume Calculation Methods:**
**Price Action Method:**
```
Price Range = High - Low
Buy Pressure = (Close - Low) / Price Range
Sell Pressure = (High - Close) / Price Range
Buy Volume = Total Volume × Buy Pressure
Sell Volume = Total Volume × Sell Pressure
Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume
```
**Bid/Ask Estimation Method:**
```
Average Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Buy Volume = Close > Average ? Volume × 0.6 : Volume × 0.4
Sell Volume = Total Volume - Buy Volume
```
**Cumulative Method:**
```
Buy Volume = Close > Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
Sell Volume = Close ≤ Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3
```
**3. Point of Control (POC) Identification:**
- Scans all price levels to find maximum volume concentration
- POC represents the price level with highest trading activity
- Acts as significant support/resistance level
- **Developing POC Feature**: Tracks POC evolution in real-time via blue dotted trail, showing how institutional interest migrates throughout the session. Upward POC migration indicates accumulation patterns, downward migration suggests distribution, providing early trend signals before price confirmation.
**4. Value Area Calculation:**
- Starts from POC and expands up/down to encompass 70% of total volume
- VAH (Value Area High): Upper boundary of value area
- VAL (Value Area Low): Lower boundary of value area
- Expansion algorithm prioritizes direction with higher volume
**5. Adaptive Range Selection:**
Based on profile type and timeframe optimization:
- **N Bars Back**: Fixed lookback period with performance optimization (20-500 bars)
- **Days Back**: Calendar-based analysis with automatic timeframe adjustment (1-365 days)
- **Session**: Current trading session or custom session times
### Performance Optimization Features:
- **Sampling Algorithm**: Reduces calculation load on large datasets while maintaining accuracy
- **Memory Management**: Clears previous drawings to prevent performance degradation
- **Safety Constraints**: Prevents excessive memory usage with configurable limits
## HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
### Initial Setup:
1. **Profile Configuration**: Select profile type based on trading style:
- N Bars Back: Precise control over data range
- Days Back: Intuitive calendar-based analysis
- Session: Real-time session development
2. **Row Density**: Set number of rows (30 default) - more rows = higher resolution, slower performance
3. **Delta Method**: Choose calculation method based on market type:
- Price Action: Best for trending markets
- Bid/Ask Estimate: Good for ranging markets
- Cumulative: Smoothed approach for volatile markets
4. **Visual Settings**: Configure colors, position (left/right), and display options
### Reading the Profile:
**Volume Bars:**
- **Length**: Represents relative volume at that price level
- **Color**: Green = net buying pressure, Red = net selling pressure
- **Intensity**: Darker colors indicate volume imbalances above threshold
**Key Levels:**
- **POC (Blue Line)**: Highest volume price - major support/resistance
- **VAH (Purple Dashed)**: Value Area High - upper boundary of fair value
- **VAL (Orange Dashed)**: Value Area Low - lower boundary of fair value
- **Value Area Fill**: Shaded region showing main trading range
**Developing POC Trail:**
- **Blue Dotted Lines**: Show real-time POC evolution throughout the session
- **Migration Patterns**: Upward trail indicates bullish accumulation, downward trail suggests bearish distribution
- **Early Signals**: POC movement often precedes price movement, providing advance warning of institutional activity
- **Institutional Footprints**: Reveals where smart money concentrated volume before final POC establishment
### Trading Applications:
**Support/Resistance Analysis:**
- POC acts as magnetic price level - expect reactions
- VAH/VAL provide intermediate support/resistance levels
- Profile edges show areas of low volume acceptance
**Developing POC Analysis:**
- **Upward Migration**: POC moving higher = institutional accumulation, bullish bias
- **Downward Migration**: POC moving lower = institutional distribution, bearish bias
- **Stable POC**: Tight clustering = balanced market, range-bound conditions
- **Early Trend Detection**: POC direction change often precedes price breakouts
**Entry Strategies:**
- Buy at VAL with POC as target (in uptrends)
- Sell at VAH with POC as target (in downtrends)
- Breakout plays above/below profile extremes
**Volume Imbalance Trading:**
- Strong buying imbalance (>60% threshold) suggests continued upward pressure
- Strong selling imbalance suggests continued downward pressure
- Imbalances near key levels provide high-probability setups
**Multi-Timeframe Context:**
- Use higher timeframe profiles for major levels
- Lower timeframe profiles for precise entries
- Session profiles for intraday trading structure

## IMPORTANT USAGE NOTES
**Realistic Expectations:**
- Volume profile analysis provides structural context, not trading signals
- Delta calculations are estimations based on price action, not actual order flow
- Past volume distribution does not guarantee future price behavior
- Combine with other analysis methods for comprehensive market view
**Best Practices:**
- Use appropriate profile types for your trading style:
- Day Trading: Session or Days Back (1-5 days)
- Swing Trading: Days Back (10-30 days) or N Bars Back
- Position Trading: Days Back (60-180 days)
- Consider market context (trending vs ranging conditions)
- Verify key levels with additional technical analysis
- Monitor profile development for changing market structure
**Performance Considerations:**
- Higher row counts increase calculation complexity
- Large lookback periods may affect chart performance
- Auto-adjust feature optimizes for most use cases
- Consider using session profiles for intraday efficiency
**Limitations:**
- Delta calculations are estimations, not actual transaction data
- Profile accuracy depends on available price/volume history
- Effectiveness varies across different instruments and market conditions
- Requires understanding of volume profile concepts for optimal use
**Data Requirements:**
- Requires volume data for accurate calculations
- Works best on liquid instruments with consistent volume
- May be less effective on very low volume or exotic instruments

Delta Volume BubblesDelta Volume Bubbles
Overview
The Delta Volume Bubbles indicator is an advanced order flow visualization tool that displays buying and selling pressure through dynamic bubble representations on your chart. Unlike traditional volume indicators that only show total volume, this indicator calculates the net delta volume (difference between buying and selling volume) and presents it as color-coded bubbles of varying sizes.
How It Works
Core Calculation Method
The indicator uses a sophisticated approach to estimate delta volume from standard OHLCV data:
1. Price Action Analysis: Analyzes the relationship between open, high, low, and close prices to determine market aggression
2. Body Ratio Calculation: body_ratio = |close - open| / (high - low)
3. Aggressive Factor: Applies multipliers based on price action:
- Strong moves (body_ratio > 0.7): 1.5x multiplier
- Moderate moves (body_ratio > 0.4): 1.2x multiplier
- Weak moves: 1.0x multiplier
4. Delta Volume Estimation:
- Buy Volume: price_change > 0 ? volume × aggressive_factor : 0
- Sell Volume: price_change < 0 ? volume × aggressive_factor : 0
- Net Delta: buy_volume - sell_volume
5. Delta Strength Normalization: delta_strength = |net_delta| / sma(volume, 20)
Percentile-Based Filtering
The indicator uses percentile filtering instead of fixed thresholds, making it adaptive to market conditions:
- Bubble Filter: Only shows bubbles when volume exceeds the specified percentile (default: 60%)
- Label Filter: Only displays numbers when volume exceeds a higher percentile (default: 90%)
- Dynamic Adaptation: Automatically adjusts to changing market volatility
Visual Elements
Bubble Sizes
- Tiny: Delta strength < 0.3
- Small: Delta strength 0.3 - 0.7
- Normal: Delta strength 0.7 - 1.2
- Large: Delta strength 1.2 - 2.0
- Huge: Delta strength > 2.0
Color Coding
- Aggressive Buy (Bright Green): Strong buying pressure with high body ratio
- Aggressive Sell (Bright Red): Strong selling pressure with high body ratio
- Passive Buy (Light Green): Moderate buying pressure
- Passive Sell (Light Red): Moderate selling pressure
Intensity Mode
Alternative coloring based on delta strength rather than flow direction:
- Gray: Low intensity (< 0.5)
- Blue: Medium intensity (0.5 - 1.0)
- Orange: High intensity (1.0 - 2.0)
- Red: Extreme intensity (> 2.0)
Parameters
Order Flow Settings
- Show Bubbles: Toggle bubble display on/off
- Bubble Volume %ile: Percentile threshold for bubble display (0-100%)
- Intensity Mode: Switch between flow-based and intensity-based coloring
Bubble Labels
- Show Numbers in Bubbles: Toggle numerical labels on/off
- Label Volume %ile: Higher percentile threshold for label display (0-100%)
Numbers are displayed in K-notation (e.g., 25000 → 25K, 1500000 → 1.5M) for better readability.
Ideal Usage Scenarios
Best Market Conditions
- High volume sessions: More accurate delta calculations
- Trending markets: Clear directional flow identification
- Breakout scenarios: Spot aggressive buying/selling at key levels
- Support/resistance testing: Identify accumulation vs distribution
Trading Applications
1. Entry Timing: Look for aggressive flow in your trade direction
2. Exit Signals: Watch for opposing aggressive flow
3. Trend Confirmation: Consistent flow direction confirms trends
4. Volume Climax: Huge bubbles may indicate exhaustion points
Optimization Tips
Parameter Adjustment
- Lower percentiles (40-60%): More bubbles, good for active markets
- Higher percentiles (70-90%): Fewer bubbles, focus on significant events
- Label percentile: Set 20-30% higher than bubble percentile for clarity
Visual Optimization
- Intensity mode: Better for identifying unusual volume spikes
- Flow mode: Better for directional bias analysis
- Label toggle: Turn off in crowded markets, on for key levels
Limitations
- Estimation-based: Uses approximation algorithms, not true order flow data
- Volume dependency: Requires accurate volume data to function properly
- Timeframe sensitivity: Works best on intraday timeframes with active volume
- Market hours: Most effective during high-volume trading sessions
Technical Notes
The indicator implements advanced Pine Script features including:
- Dynamic percentile calculations using ta.percentile_linear_interpolation()
- Conditional plotting with multiple size categories
- Custom number formatting functions
- Efficient label management to prevent display limits
This tool is designed for traders who want to understand the underlying buying and selling pressure beyond simple volume analysis, providing insights into market sentiment and potential turning points.
DeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector by Chaitu50cDeltaStrike — Aggressive Candle Detector
by Chaitu50c
DeltaStrike is a simple and effective tool designed to help traders identify the most aggressive candles on the chart in real time. It works purely on price action and internal candle dynamics, with no reliance on lagging indicators.
The indicator combines delta (directional strength), candle range, and volume to compute an overall aggressiveness score for each candle. When this score exceeds a dynamic threshold based on recent market behavior, the candle is marked as an aggressive move.
Aggressive bullish candles are plotted as green diamonds below the candle, while aggressive bearish candles are plotted as red diamonds above the candle. The goal is to help traders visually spot moments of strong directional pressure, where potential trends or reversals may emerge.
The detection logic adapts automatically to changing market volatility and volume, making it suitable for all instruments and timeframes, including index futures, equities, and forex.
An integrated dashboard on the chart displays live readings of the key components contributing to each candle’s aggressiveness score: delta ratio, range ratio, and volume ratio. This helps traders understand the internal structure of each aggressive move.
Features:
Dynamic aggressiveness detection based on delta, range, and volume
Adaptive threshold for consistent behavior across timeframes and instruments
Clean chart output with clear diamond markers only on selected candles
Live dashboard with internal metrics for advanced analysis
Simple, lightweight, and optimized for intraday and swing trading
Works with any instrument: index, equity, forex, commodity
DeltaStrike is intended as an objective visual aid to help traders focus on genuine moments of strong market intent, filtering out ordinary or passive price movement. It can be used standalone or in combination with your existing trading strategy.
Delta Volume Profile [BigBeluga]🔵Delta Volume Profile
A dynamic volume analysis tool that builds two separate horizontal profiles: one for bullish candles and one for bearish candles. This indicator helps traders identify the true balance of buying vs. selling volume across price levels, highlighting points of control (POCs), delta dominance, and hidden volume clusters with remarkable precision.
🔵 KEY FEATURES
Split Volume Profiles (Bull vs. Bear):
The indicator separates volume based on candle direction:
If close > open , the candle’s volume is added to the bullish profile (positive volume).
If close < open , it contributes to the bearish profile (negative volume).
ATR-Based Binning:
The price range over the selected lookback is split into bins using ATR(200) as the bin height.
Each bin accumulates both bull and bear volumes to form the dual-sided profile.
Bull and Bear Volume Bars:
Bullish volumes are shown as right-facing bars on the right side, colored with a bullish gradient.
Bearish volumes appear as left-facing bars on the left side, shaded with a bearish gradient.
Each bar includes a volume label (e.g., +12.45K or -9.33K) to show exact volume at that price level.
Points of Control (POC) Highlighting:
The bin with the highest bullish volume is marked with a border in POC+ color (default: blue).
The bin with the highest bearish volume is marked with a POC− color (default: orange).
Total Volume Density Map:
A neutral gray background box is plotted behind candles showing the total volume (bull + bear) per bin.
This reveals high-interest price zones regardless of direction.
Delta and Total Volume Summary:
A Delta label appears at the top, showing net % difference between bull and bear volume.
A Total label at the bottom shows total accumulated volume across all bins.
🔵 HOW IT WORKS
The indicator captures all candles within the lookback period .
It calculates the price range and splits it into bins using ATR for adaptive resolution.
For each candle:
If price intersects a bin and close > open , volume is added to the positive profile .
If close < open , volume is added to the negative profile .
The result is two side-by-side histograms at each price level—one for buyers, one for sellers.
The bin with the highest value on each side is visually emphasized using POC highlight colors.
At the end, the script calculates:
Delta: Total % difference between bull and bear volumes.
Total: Sum of all volumes in the lookback window.
🔵 USAGE
Volume Imbalance Zones: Identify price levels where buyers or sellers were clearly dominant.
Fade or Follow Volume Clusters: Use POC+ or POC− levels for reaction trades or breakouts.
Delta Strength Filtering: Strong delta values (> ±20%) suggest momentum or exhaustion setups.
Volume-Based Anchoring: Use profile levels to mark hidden support/resistance and execution zones.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Delta Volume Profile offers a unique advantage in market reading by separating buyer and seller activity into two visual layers. This allows traders to not only spot where volume was high, but also who was more aggressive. Whether you’re analyzing trend continuations, reversals, or absorption levels, this indicator gives you the transparency needed to trade with confidence.
Approx. Footprint: Volume DeltaThis indicator brings you a simplified “footprint” view by charting the volume delta—the imbalance between bullish and bearish volume—alongside total bar volume.
Delta Bars: Green/red columns show where buyers (close > open) or sellers (close < open) dominated each bar.
Total Volume: Semi-transparent gray columns in the background give you overall context.
No Hidden Data: Works on any symbol/timeframe without tick-by-tick or bid/ask feeds.
Use it to quickly spot bars with strong buying or selling pressure, identify momentum shifts, and confirm breakouts or reversals—all within TradingView’s standard volume streams.

With extensive customization options, this indicator adapts seamlessly to vast trading styles or chart setups, empowering traders to spot patterns, evaluate trend strength, and make more confident, data-backed decisions.
❖ FEATURES
✦ Automatic Swing Detection
At its core, this indicator automatically identifies swing highs and lows based on a customizable lookback period (default: 10 bars).
✦ Labeling Swing Points
Each swing is visualized with a label that includes:
Swing Classification : “HH” (Higher High), “LH” (Lower High), “LL” (Lower Low), or “HL” (Higher Low).
Price Difference : Displayed in percentage or absolute value from the previous opposite swing.
Time Difference : The number of bars since the previous swing of the opposite type.
These labels offer traders clear, immediate insight into price movements and structural changes.
✦ Visual Lines
The indicator draws three types of lines:
Bullish Lines: Connect recent swing lows to new swing highs, indicating uptrends.
Bearish Lines: Connect recent swing highs to new swing lows, indicating downtrends.
Range Lines: Connect consecutive highs or lows to outline price channels.
Each line type can be color-coded and customized for visibility.
✦ Statistics Table

Each metric comes with a corresponding symbol.
That said, until you become comfortable with the symbol, you can also turn on the descriptive labels setting!
The image above exemplifies the feature.
The image above shows Footprint IQ's full power!
Additionally, traders with an upgraded TradingView plan can make use of the "1-Second" feature Footprint IQ offers!
The image above shows each footprint generated using 1-second volume data. 1-second data is highly granular compared to 1-minute data and, consequently, each footprint is exceptionally more accurate!
Imbalance Detection
Footprint IQ pro is capable of detecting user-defined delta imbalances.
The image above further explains how Footprint IQ detects imbalances!
The imbalance percentage is customizable in the settings, and is set to 70% by default.
Therefore,
When net delta is positive, and the positive net delta constitutes >=70% of the total volume, a buying imbalance will be detected (upwards triangle).
When net delta is negative, and the negative net delta constitutes >=70% of the total volume, a buying imbalance will be detected (downwards triangle).
Stacked Imbalance Detection
In addition to imbalance detection, Footprint IQ Pro can also detect stacked imbalances!
The image above shows Footprint IQ Pro detecting stacked imbalances!
Stacked imbalances occur when consecutive imbalances at sequential price areas occur. Stacked imbalances are generally interpreted as significant price moves that are supported by volume, rather than a significant result with disproportionate effort.
The criteria for stacked imbalance detection (how many imbalances must occur at sequential price areas) is customizable in the settings.
The default value is three. Therefore, when three imbalances occur at sequential price areas, golden triangles will begin to print to show a stacked imbalance.
Additionally, traders can set alerts for when stacked imbalances occur!
Highest +Delta and Highest -Delta Levels
In addition to being a fully-fledged Footprint indicator, Footprint IQ Pro goes one step further by detecting price areas where the greater +Delta and -Delta are!
The image above shows price behavior near highest +Delta price areas detected by Footprint IQ!
These +Delta levels are considered important as there has been strong interest from buyers at these price areas when they are traded at.
It's expected that these levels can function as support points that are supported by volume.
The image above shows a similar function for resistance points!
Blue lines = High +Delta Detected Price Areas
Red lines = High -Delta Detected Price Areas
Value Area Detection
Similar to traditional volume profile, Footprint IQ Pro displays the value area per bar.
Green lines next to each footprint show the value area for the bar. The value area % is customizable in the settings.
CVD Levels
Footprint IQ Pro is capable of storing historical volume delta information to provide CVD measurements at each price area!
The image above exemplifies this feature!
When this feature is enabled, you will see the CVD of each price area, rather than the net delta!
And that's it!
Thank you so much to TradingView for offering the greatest charting platform for everyone to create on!
If you have any feature requests you'd like to see for Footprint IQ, please feel free to share them with us!
Thank you!
Volume Zones Internal Visualizer [LuxAlgo]The Volume Zones Internal Visualizer is an alternate candle type intended to reveal lower timeframe volume activity while on a higher timeframe chart.
It displays the candle's range, the highest and lowest zones of accumulated volume throughout the candle, and the Lower Timeframe (LTF) candle close, which contained the most volume in the session (Candle Session).
🔶 USAGE
The indicator is intended to be used as its own independent candle type. It is not a replacement for traditional candlesticks; however, it is recommended that you hide the chart's display when using this indicator. Another option is to display this indicator in an additional pane alongside the normal chart, as displayed above.
The display consists of candle ranges represented by outlined boxes, within the ranges you will notice a transparent-colored zone, a solid-colored zone, and a line.
Each of these displays different points of volume-related information from an analysis of LTF data.
In addition to this analysis, the indicator also locates the LTF candle with the highest volume, and displays its close represented by the line. This line is considered as the "Peak Activity Level" (PAL), since throughout the (HTF) candle session, this candle's close is the outcome of the most volume transacted at the time.
We are further tracking these PALs by continuing to extend them into the future, looking towards them for potential further interaction. Once a PAL is crossed, we are removing it from display as it has been mitigated.
🔶 DETAILS
The indicator aggregates the volume data from each LTF candle and creates a volume profile from it; the number of rows in the profile is determined by the "Row Size" setting.
With this profile, it locates and displays the highest (solid area) and lowest (transparent area) volume zones from the profile created.
🔶 SETTINGS
Row Size: Sets the number of rows used for the calculation of the volume profile based on LTF data.
Intrabar Timeframe: Sets the Lower Timeframe to use for calculations.
Show Last Unmitigated PALs: Choose how many Unmitigated PALs to extend.
Style: Toggle on and off features, as well as adjust colors for each.
Enhanced Cumulative Volume Delta + MAThe Enhanced Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator is designed to help traders analyze the cumulative buying and selling pressure in the market by examining the delta between the up and down volume. By tracking this metric, traders can gain insights into the strength of a trend and potential reversals. This indicator uses advanced volume analysis combined with customizable moving averages to provide a more detailed view of market dynamics.
How to Use This Indicator:
Volume Delta Visualization:
The indicator plots the cumulative volume delta (CVD) using color-coded candles, where teal represents positive delta (buying pressure) and soft red represents negative delta (selling pressure).
Moving Averages:
Use the moving averages to smooth the CVD data and identify long-term trends. You can choose between SMA and EMA for each of the three available moving averages. The first and third moving averages are typically used for short-term and long-term trend analysis, respectively, while the second moving average can serve as a medium-term filter.
Arrow Markers:
The indicator will display arrows (green triangle up for crossing above, red triangle down for crossing below) when the CVD volume crosses the 3rd moving average. You can control the visibility of these arrows through the input parameters.
Volume Data:
The indicator provides error handling in case no volume data is available for the selected symbol, ensuring that you're not misled by incomplete data.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: Use the CVD and moving averages to confirm the overall trend direction and strength. Positive delta and a rising CVD can confirm an uptrend, while negative delta and a falling CVD indicate a downtrend.
Volume Breakouts: The arrows marking when the CVD crosses the 3rd moving average can help you spot potential volume breakouts or reversals, making them useful for entry or exit signals.
Volume Divergence: Pay attention to divergences between price and CVD, as these can often signal potential trend reversals or weakening momentum.

Volume Delta Filtered Overlay v1.1 by RamtraderbookVolume Delta Filtered Overlay v1.1 by Ramtraderbook
This indicator visually displays the volume delta directly on the price chart using colored circles. Its main goal is to highlight significant changes in the volume delta, categorizing them by direction and magnitude.
How It Works
1. Volume Delta Calculation
- Measures the difference between buying and selling volume on a lower time frame.
2. Threshold Filter
- Only displays data if the delta exceeds a minimum threshold set by the user.
3. Colors by Direction
- Bullish color: If the delta is positive (more buying).
- Bearish color: If the delta is negative (more selling).
4. Circle Placement
- Circles are placed above the candle for a positive delta and below the candle for a negative delta.
Customizable Inputs
- Delta Threshold: Defines the minimum delta value that will be plotted.
- Customizable Colors: Allows you to set different colors for positive and negative delta circles.
- **Lower Time Frame**: Scans data on a lower time frame for greater accuracy.
Important Note on Data
TradingView does not handle market depth data such as order book information. The volume delta calculation is an approximation based on the asset’s volume and price behavior. This means it does not precisely reflect the actual flow of buy or sell orders in the market, but rather an estimate derived from available data.
Conclusion
The **Volume Delta Filtered Overlay v1.1 by Ramtraderbook** is a visual tool that helps quickly identify significant buy or sell volume movements, making it ideal for strategies that rely on order flow analysis. However, it is recommended to combine it with other tools for a more comprehensive analysis.
Volume Delta Filtered v1.1 by RamtraderbookIndicator Explanation: Volume Delta_RTB (Filtered)
General Description
The Volume Delta_RTB (Filtered) indicator is designed to analyze the volume delta of a financial asset and highlight only significant changes based on a configured threshold. This indicator is useful for detecting moments when buying volume exceeds selling volume (or vice versa), providing a clear view of market pressure.
What is Volume Delta?
Volume delta measures the difference between buying and selling volume over a given time period. A positive delta indicates that buying prevails over selling, while a negative delta indicates the opposite.
Indicator Inputs
The indicator has several customizable parameters to suit the user’s needs:
1. Volume Delta Threshold
- Allows you to set a minimum volume delta value.
- Only indicator values that exceed this absolute delta threshold will be displayed.
- Default value: 100,000.
2. Use of a Lower Time Frame
- Option to analyze data from a lower time frame than the main chart.
Operating Logic
1. Selection of the Lower Time Frame
- The indicator scans data from a lower time frame to accurately calculate the volume delta.
- By default, it automatically selects an appropriate lower time frame, though it can be set manually.
2. Calculation of Volume Delta
- Using the `ta.requestVolumeDelta` function, the indicator calculates:
- Volume delta at the start of the period (`openVolume`).
- Maximum delta (`maxVolume`).
- Minimum delta (`minVolume`).
- Last recorded delta (`lastVolume`).
3. Filtering Values
- If the absolute value of `lastVolume` (the last volume delta) is below the configured threshold (`deltaThreshold`), the data will not be displayed on the chart.
- This allows the indicator to highlight only significant movements, avoiding unnecessary noise.
4. Visualization
- Volume delta is represented by candles to facilitate interpretation:
- Yellow candles for positive delta (buying prevails).
- Pink candles for negative delta (selling prevails).
- A horizontal line at `0` serves as a reference.
- Colors can be configured as needed.
5. Data Validation
- If the data provider does not provide volume information for the asset, the indicator will display an error message.
Indicator Advantages
- Efficient Filtering: Focus on the most relevant movements in terms of volume, ignoring small or insignificant values.
- Adaptable: Offers customization options for both the delta threshold and the time frame.
- Clear Visualization: Colored candles make it easier to spot dominant buying or selling trends.
NOTE:
- Estimated Delta Data: Since TradingView does not have access to market depth data or an exact breakdown of buying and selling volume, the delta calculations are approximations based on price and volume behavior.
- Data Provider Dependency: Some assets or instruments may not have volume information available, limiting the indicator’s use.
Intrabar BoxPlotThe Intrabar BoxPlot publication highlights an uncommon technique by displaying statistical intrabar Lower Timeframe (LTF) values on the chart.
🔶 USAGE
🔹 Middle 50% Boxes
By showing the middle 50% intrabar values through a box, we can more easily see where the intrabar activity is mainly situated.
The middle 50% intrabar values are referred to from here on as Interquartile range (IQR).
In this example, the successive IQRs form a channel where the price eventually breaks out.
Disproportionately distributed values can give insights which can be used to find potential support/resistance areas.
IQR gaps can give valuable information as well. Potentially, the price can return to these gaps.
Seeing the IQR areas against regular candles gives an alternative image of the underlying price movements.
🔹 Highest volume Price level
The script displays the price level with the highest volume situated, dependable on the user's source setting. Setting the source at 'close' will only display intrabar close values; the same goes for high, low, ...
As seen in the above example, the volume levels can aid in finding support/resistance.
🔹 Median
The location of the median off all intrabar values is displayed as a coloured dot: green when the close price is higher than the opening price and red if otherwise. The median can give valuable insights into price movements.
🔹 Outliers
Medium (white dots) and extreme (white X) outliers, in combination with the IQR box, can help identify potential areas of interest.
🔹 Volume Delta
When there is a discrepancy between the delta volume and direction of the candle, this will be displayed as follows:
Green candle: when the sum of the volume of red intrabars is higher than the sum of the volume of green intrabars, the candle will be coloured orange.
Red candle: when the sum of the volume of green intrabars is higher than the sum of the volume of red intrabars, the candle will be coloured blue.
🔹 Highlight Boxplot only
Probably the easiest way to display boxplot only is by changing the Bar's style to Bars .
🔶 DETAILS
All intrabar values (Lower TimeFrame - LTF) are sorted and evaluated. Values can be close , high , low , ... by selecting this in Settings ( source ).
The middle 50% of all values are displayed as a box; this contains the values between percentile 25 (p25) and percentile 75 (p75). The value of percentile rank 75 means 75% of all values are lower. The value of percentile rank 25 means 25% of all values are lower, or 75% is higher.
The difference between p75 and p25 is also known as Interquartile range (IQR)
IQR is used to check for outliers.
Wiki: Boxplot , Interquartile range
Extreme high: maximum value, higher than p75 + IQR*3
Max outlier high: maximum value, higher than p75 + IQR*1.5 but lower than p75 + IQR*3
Max: maximum value, lower than p75 + IQR*1.5
Min: minimum value, higher than p25 - IQR*1.5
Min outlier low: minimum value, lower than p25 - IQR*1.5 but higher than p25 - IQR*3
Extreme low: minimum value, lower than p25 - IQR*3
Max and min must not be interpreted with the current candle high/low.
🔹 Example: Length of chart-puppets
The following example can make it easier to digest. Forty "chart-puppets" are sorted by their length.
The p25 value is 97
The p50 value is 120
The p75 value is 149
75% of all "chart-puppets" are smaller than p75, and 25% is larger than p75.
50% of all "chart-puppets" are smaller than p50, and 50% is larger than p50 (= median).
25% of all "chart-puppets" are smaller than p25, and 75% is larger than p25.
IQR = 149 - 97 = 52
Extreme outlier limit max: p75 + IQR*3 = 149 + 52*3 = 305
Mild outlier limit max: p75 + IQR*1.5 = 149 + 52*1.5 = 227
Mild outlier limit min: p25 - IQR*1.5 = 97 - 52*1.5 = 19
Extreme outlier limit min: p25 - IQR*3 = 97 - 52*3 = -59
In this example there are no outliers to be found, all values are located between p25 - IQR*1.5 (19) and p75 + IQR*1.5. (227)
🔹 Source settings
Note that results are dependable on the chosen source (settings). When, for example, close is chosen as the source, only intrabar close prices are included. This means a low or high can stretch further then the min or max.
Here we can see different results with different source settings
🔹 LTF settings
When 'Auto' is enabled (Settings, LTF), the LTF will be the nearest possible x times smaller TF than the current TF. When 'Premium' is disabled, the minimum TF will always be 1 minute to ensure TradingView plans lower than Premium don't get an error.
Examples with current Daily TF (when Premium is enabled):
500 : 3 minute LTF
1500 (default): 1 minute LTF
5000: 30 seconds LTF (1 minute if Premium is disabled)
🔶 SETTINGS
Source: Set source at close, high, low,...
🔹 LTF

Volume Delta Candles HTF [TradingFinder] LTF Volume Candles 🔵 Introduction
In financial markets, understanding the concepts of supply and demand and their impact on price movements is of paramount importance. Supply and demand, as fundamental pillars of economics, reflect the interaction between buyers and sellers.
When buyers' strength surpasses that of sellers, demand increases, and prices tend to rise. Conversely, when sellers dominate buyers, supply overtakes demand, causing prices to drop. These interactions play a crucial role in determining market trends, price reversal points, and trading decisions.
Volume Delta Candles offer traders a practical way to visualize trading activity within each candlestick. By integrating data from lower timeframes or live market feeds, these candles eliminate the need for standalone volume indicators.
They present the proportions of buying and selling volume as intuitive colored bars, making it easier to interpret market dynamics at a glance. Additionally, they encapsulate critical metrics like peak delta, lowest delta, and net delta, allowing traders to grasp the market's internal order flow with greater precision.
In financial markets, grasping the interplay between supply and demand and its influence on price movements is crucial for successful trading. These fundamental economic forces reflect the ongoing balance between buyers and sellers in the market.
When buyers exert greater strength than sellers, demand dominates, driving prices upward. Conversely, when sellers take control, supply surpasses demand, and prices decline. Understanding these dynamics is essential for identifying market trends, pinpointing reversal points, and making informed trading decisions.
Volume Delta Candles provide an innovative method for evaluating trading activity within individual candlesticks, offering a simplified view without relying on separate volume indicators. By leveraging lower timeframe or real-time data, this tool visualizes the distribution of buying and selling volumes within a candle through color-coded bars.
This visual representation enables traders to quickly assess market sentiment and understand the forces driving price action. Buyer and seller strength is a critical concept that focuses on the ratio of buying to selling volumes. This ratio not only provides insights into the market's current state but also serves as a leading indicator for detecting potential shifts in trends.
Traders often rely on volume analysis to identify significant supply and demand zones, guiding their entry and exit strategies. Delta Candles translate these complex metrics, such as Maximum Delta, Minimum Delta, and Final Delta, into an easy-to-read visual format using Japanese candlestick structures, making them an invaluable resource for analyzing order flows and market momentum.
By merging the principles of supply and demand with comprehensive volume analysis, tools like the indicator introduced here offer unparalleled clarity into market behavior. This indicator calculates the relative strength of supply and demand for each candlestick by analyzing the ratio of buyers to sellers.
🔵 How to Use
The presented indicator is a powerful tool for analyzing supply and demand strength in financial markets. It helps traders identify the strengths and weaknesses of buyers and sellers and utilize this information for better decision-making.
🟣 Analyzing the Highest Volume Trades on Candles
A unique feature of this indicator is the visualization of price levels with the highest trade volume for each candlestick. These levels are marked as black lines on the candles, indicating prices where most trades occurred. This information is invaluable for identifying key supply and demand zones, which often act as support or resistance levels.
🟣 Trend Confirmation
The indicator enables traders to confirm bullish or bearish trends by observing changes in buyer and seller strength. When buyer strength increases and demand surpasses supply, the likelihood of a bullish trend continuation grows. Conversely, decreasing buyer strength and increasing seller strength may signal a potential bearish trend reversal.
🟣 Adjusting Timeframes and Calculation Methods
Users can customize the indicator's candlestick timeframe to align with their trading strategy. Additionally, they can switch between moving average and current candle modes to achieve more precise market analysis.
This indicator, with its accurate and visual data display, is a practical and reliable tool for market analysts and traders. Using it can help traders make better decisions and identify optimal entry and exit points.
🔵 Settings
Lower Time Frame Volume : This setting determines which timeframe the indicator should use to identify the price levels with the highest trade volume. These levels, displayed as black lines on the candlesticks, indicate prices where the most trades occurred.
It is recommended that users align this timeframe with their primary chart’s timeframe.
As a general rule :
If the main chart’s timeframe is low (e.g., 1-minute or 5-minute), it is better to keep this setting at a similarly low timeframe.
As the main chart’s timeframe increases (e.g., daily or weekly), it is advisable to set this parameter to a higher timeframe for more aligned data analysis.
Cumulative Mode :
Current Candle : Strength is calculated only for the current candlestick.
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) : The strength is calculated using an exponential moving average, suitable for identifying longer-term trends.
Calculation Period : The default period for the exponential moving average (EMA) is set to 21. Users can modify this value for more precise analysis based on their specific requirements.
Ultra Data : This option enables users to view more detailed data from various market sources, such as Forex, Crypto, or Stocks. When activated, the indicator aggregates and displays volume data from multiple sources.
🟣 Table Settings
Show Info Table : This option determines whether the information table is displayed on the chart. When enabled, the table appears in a corner of the chart and provides details about the strength of buyers and sellers.
Table Size : Users can adjust the size of the text within the table to improve readability.
Table Position : This setting defines the table’s placement on the chart.

Delta Candle ColorsThe Delta Divergences indicator provides a visual representation of volume delta, which measures the difference between buying pressure and selling pressure within a candle. This is achieved by using intrabar (lower timeframe) volume and price fluctuations to estimate the delta between buying and selling pressure within each bar.
By color-coding candles based on this volume delta, traders can gain insight into the strength behind price movements and spot potential divergences. When a candle closes positively (higher than the previous close) but the volume delta is negative (more selling than buying), or when a candle closes negatively with a positive delta (more buying than selling), it indicates a divergence. These divergences can signal potential trend exhaustion or possible reversals.
The indicator includes custom alerts that notify the trader when these divergences occur:
Positive close with negative delta: Signals that the price is rising, but selling pressure is higher.
Negative close with positive delta: Signals that the price is falling, but buying pressure is higher.
In addition to color-coding candles based on delta, the indicator provides an option to display delta labels directly on the chart for each candle.
Finally, the option to only show divergences can be turned on. When enabled, non-divergent candles are colored normally, while only candles with delta divergences are highlighted, allowing traders to focus on the most relevant market information.
Ultra Money FlowIntroduction
The Ultra Money Flow script is a technical indicator for analyzing stock trends. It highlights buying and selling power, helping you identify bullish (rising) or bearish (falling) market trends.
Detailed Description
The Ultra Money Flow script calculates and visually displays two main components: Fast and Slow money flow. These components represent short-term and long-term trends, respectively.
Here's how it works:
.........
Inputs
You can adjust the speed of analysis (Fast Length and Slow Length) and the type of smoothing applied (e.g., Simple Moving Average, Exponential Moving Average).
Choose colors for visualizing the trends, with blue for bullish (positive) and orange for bearish (negative) movements.
.....
Money Flow Calculation
The script analyzes price changes (delta) over specified periods.
It separates upward price movements (buying power) from downward ones (selling power).
It then calculates the difference between these powers for both Fast and Slow components.
The types of smoothing methods range from traditional ones like the Simple Moving Average (SMA) to advanced ones like the Double Expotential Moving Average (DEMA) or the Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) or the Recursive Moving Average (RMA) or the Weigthend Moving Average (WMA) or the Volume Weigthend Moving Average (VWMA) or Hull Moving Average (HMA).
Very Special ones are the Triple Weigthend Moving Average (TWMA) wich created RedKTrader .
I created the Multi Weigthend Moving Average (MWMA) wich is a simple signal line to the TWMA.
.....
Divergence
This indicator can show divergence by comparing the direction of price movements with the indicator value.
If the price and the indicator move in opposite directions, you can use these signals to help decide when to buy or sell.
.....
Auto Scaling
The script adjusts its calculations based on the time frame you are viewing, whether it's minutes, hours, or days, ensuring accurate representation across different time scales.
.....
Plotting
The script plots the Fast component as a histogram and the Slow component as a line, using the chosen colors to indicate bullish or bearish trends.
The thickness and transparency of these plots give additional clues about the strength of the trend.
.........
By using this indicator, traders can easily spot shifts in buying and selling power, allowing for better-informed decisions in the market.
Special Thanks
I use the TWMA-Function created from RedKTrader to smooth the values.
Special thanks to him for creating and sharing this function!
