在腳本中搜尋"Volume"
No Buyers or Sellers (Volume Threshold)This indicator shows areas on the second or minute charts that lack buyer or seller activity in the form of volume. This is configurable in the code itself by the user.
This can be used to close a trade because there is no desire shown by the market to continue the trend.
Volume Breaker Blocks [UAlgo]The "Volume Breaker Blocks " indicator is designed to identify breaker blocks in the market based on volume and price action. It is a concept that emerges when an order block fails, leading to a change in market structure. It signifies a pivotal point where the market shifts direction, offering traders opportunities to enter trades based on anticipated trend continuation.
🔶 Key Features
Identifying Breaker Blocks: The indicator identifies breaker blocks by detecting pivot points in price action and corresponding volume spikes.
Breaker Block Sensitivity: Traders can adjust breaker block detection sensitivity, length to be used to find pivot points.
Mitigation Method (Close or Wick): Traders can choose between "Close" and "Wick" as the mitigation method. This choice determines whether the indicator considers closing prices or wicks in identifying breaker blocks. Selecting "Close" implies that breaker blocks will be considered broken when the closing price violates the block, while selecting "Wick" implies that the wick of the candle must violate the block for it to be considered broken.
Show Last X Breaker Blocks: Users can specify how many of the most recent breaker blocks to display on the chart.
Visualization: Volume breaker blocks are visually represented on the chart with customizable colors and text labels, allowing for easy interpretation of market conditions. Each breaker block is accompanied by informational text, including whether it's bullish or bearish and the corresponding volume, aiding traders in understanding the significance of each block.
🔶 Disclaimer
Educational Purpose: The "Volume Breaker Blocks " indicator is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or a recommendation to engage in trading activities.
Risk of Loss: Trading in financial markets involves inherent risks, including the risk of loss of capital. Users should carefully consider their financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives before engaging in trading activities.
Accuracy Not Guaranteed: While the indicator aims to identify potential reversal points in the market, its accuracy and effectiveness may vary. Users should conduct thorough testing and analysis before relying solely on the indicator for trading decisions.
Past Performance: Past performance is not indicative of future results. Historical data and backtesting results may not accurately reflect actual market conditions or future performance.
Price by Volume ColumnsThis indicator allows you to identify how price changes for a given time period are sensitive to the volume. You will identify these changes as bars in the bottom of the chart. You may see the changes in bars for better understanding of price movements, identify trends. Please take trades at your own risk and discretion
Volume Profile Fixed Range Support and Resistance LevelsThis script is based on the excellent Volume Profile / Fixed Range indicator by @LonesomeTheBlue, so all credit for the foundations of this indicator goes to @LonesomeTheBlue
I basically made 5 instances of the original script and added horizontal lines at the beginning and end of the each Value Area. To use the script as a support and resistance tool without the Value Areas and Point of Control (POC) labels you just need to untick "Boxes" and "Labels" in the "Style" section of the “Settings”.
The default look-back periods (in bars) are 7, 30, 60, 180 and 365, but you can change this or the colour of the lines easily in the “Settings”.
The dashed lines are the respective POC.
I find this tool to be very useful for quickly identifying interest levels on any chart while also ensuring a certain amount of objectivity in your TA.
Hope you find it useful and thanks again to @LonesomeTheBlue for going through the trouble of coding this and being so generous to share it with the rest of us!
Good luck out there!
Relative Volume IndicatorA simple indicator showing the relation of volume to highest volume for a define number of bars. Helps to differentiate periods of low and high volume.
Define the number of bars to find the highest volume used as a basis.
Apply a simple moving average to smoothen the volume. Set it to 1 to disable smoothing.
Define a threshold differentiating low and high volume.
Educational LTF -> HTF volume deltaThis script shows 1 of several technique to gather volume delta

Heatmap Volume [xdecow]This indicator colors the volume bars and candles according to the volume traded. The calculation of the heat map zones is done as follows:
how many standard deviations the volume are distant from the average volume?
For a better visual experience, place the borders and wicks of the candles in a neutral color.
Weis Wave Volume (Pinescript 4)Port of LazyBear's Weis Wave Volume indicator to pinescript v4 from v2.
Colored Volume Bars All Markets: Combining Volume SourcesUsing volume in Forex is potentially misleading as we are only provided the broker volume or futures exchange volume for the currency or commodity in a decentralised market. This code combines the volumes from FXCM, Onanda and futures for the instrument being studied. The combination of the volumes could improve the reliability of the volume being considered. Using this approach other volume indicators can also be improved.
Volume (D)EMAA simple yet configurable indicator that shows recent traffic volumes.
The time period is specified as weeks/days/hours/minutes, not as bars.
Set the volume period to non-zero if you want to use a generalized double EMA instead of plain.
The "ratio" option will show the size of the current volume compared to the average volume as computed for the specified time period; say hello to fat tails and goodby to "standard" and "normal" and "average". With the "together" option, it compares the current volume to the both sides together (buy+sell), otherwise it compares it to just its respective side.
RSI Divergence Pro+ VolumeRSI Divergence Pro+ Volume
What It Does:
RSI Divergence Pro+ Volume is a non-repainting indicator that helps traders spot potential bullish and bearish reversal zones using a classic technical analysis concept—RSI divergence—combined with advanced volume confirmation. The script highlights moments when price and RSI disagree, filtering for signals only when there is a significant volume spike, which helps reduce false positives in quiet or illiquid markets.
How It Works:
Bullish Divergence: Triggered when price makes a lower low but RSI forms a higher low, suggesting possible exhaustion in selling pressure.
Bearish Divergence: Triggered when price makes a higher high but RSI forms a lower high, signaling potential buying exhaustion.
Volume Confirmation: Signals only appear when trading volume exceeds a dynamic threshold (based on a user-defined moving average and multiplier), making alerts more reliable.
Visual Features: Customizable labels and optional gradient highlights mark the exact bars where divergence with volume confirmation occurs, making signals easy to see.
Alert System: Built-in alerts for both bullish and bearish divergences so traders can receive instant notifications.
How to Use:
Apply the script to any timeframe or liquid asset (15m–4H recommended for best results).
Watch for green “BULL↑” labels below bars (bullish divergence) and red “BEAR↓” labels above bars (bearish divergence).
Blue/violet background highlights confirm volume-verified signals.
Combine with your own risk management and confirmation tools for trade entries/exits.
Adjust lookback and volume settings to match your asset and style.
Originality & Usefulness:
This indicator stands out by combining traditional RSI divergence with advanced volume filtering, giving more credible and actionable reversal alerts. All logic is non-repainting and calculated on closed bars only. Settings are fully grouped and customizable, with professional visuals for clarity.
Limitations & Disclaimers:
Not every divergence results in a major reversal—use with other analysis.
More effective in trending or volatile markets; may produce more false signals in choppy/range conditions.
Signals are generated on bar close and do not repaint.
No indicator is a substitute for proper trading discipline and risk management.
Volume Weighted Regression ChannelThis indicator constructs a volume-weighted linear regression channel over a custom time range.
It’s conceptually similar to a Volume Profile, but instead of projecting horizontal value zones, it builds a tilted trend channel that reflects both price direction and volume concentration.
🧠 Core Features:
Volume-weighted points: Each candle contributes to the regression line proportionally to its volume — heavier candles shift the channel toward high-activity price zones.
Linear regression line: Shows the trend direction within the selected time interval.
±σ boundaries: Outer bands represent the standard deviation of price (also volume-weighted), highlighting statistical dispersion.
Fully customizable: Adjustable line styles, widths, and channel width (sigma multiplier).
Time window control: Select any start and end time to define the regression interval.
📊 Why use this instead of Volume Profile?
While Volume Profile shows horizontal distributions of traded volume, this indicator is ideal when:
You want to understand how volume clusters affect trend direction, not just price levels.
You're analyzing time-dependent flow rather than static price zones.
You're looking for a dynamic volume-adjusted channel that moves with the market's structure.
It’s especially useful in identifying volume-supported trends, hidden pullback zones, and statistical extremes.
⚙️ Notes:
Works on any timeframe and instrument.
Does not repaint.
Does not require volume profile data feeds — uses standard volume and hl2.
Hme Rolling VolumeThis indicator allows you to display volume in a continious rolling time frame.
Instead of starting at zero for each new bar, it displays, for example, the cumulative volume of the last 120 seconds on a 2-minute chart.
This helps you track volume trends even more quickly and interpret their behavior without the break between bars.
Volume-Enhanced Candlestick Patterns 1
Overview
Scans for four major candlestick reversal patterns:
Harami
Engulfing
Morning/Evening Star
Piercing Line/Dark Cloud Cover
Underlying logic assumes that, at a turning point, the dominant side (bulls or bears) often delivers a “final” push—either a last surge of buying or selling—before the reversal truly takes hold.
Pattern Toggles
Each individual pattern can be turned on or off in the inputs.
Enable only the patterns you want to monitor to reduce chart clutter and speed up performance.
Volume Filter Toggle
On: Requires volume-based exhaustion or climax to confirm each pattern.
Off: Relies purely on price-action candlestick logic (no volume checks).
Grouped Labels & Confluence
When one or more patterns trigger on the same bar close, a single label is drawn:
Grouping multiple confirmed patterns on one bar increases confluence and signal strength.
Climax Volume × Multiplier
Adjusting this input affects signal frequency and conviction:
Higher multiplier → fewer signals but with stronger volume confirmation
Lower multiplier → more signals, each with a looser volume requirement
Alerts
Built-in alert condition for each individual pattern (bullish/bearish Harami, Engulfing, Star, Piercing, Dark Cloud Cover), so you can receive real-time notifications whenever a confirmation occurs.

## How It Works
### Volume Distribution Algorithm
The indicator analyzes each bar within the specified period and distributes its volume proportionally across the price levels it touches. This creates an accurate representation of where trading activity has been concentrated.
### Institutional Detection Logic
- **PPV Trigger**: Current up-bar volume > highest down-volume in lookback period + above volume MA
- **PNV Trigger**: Current down-bar volume > highest up-volume in lookback period + above volume MA
- **Accumulation**: High volume + narrow range + bullish close
- **Distribution**: Very high volume + minimal price movement
### Value Area Calculation
Starting from the POC, the algorithm expands both upward and downward, adding volume until reaching the specified percentage of total volume (default 70%).
## Configuration Parameters
### Profile Settings
- **Profile Period**: 10-500 bars (default: 50)
- **Number of Rows**: 10-50 levels (default: 24)

- **Thick Horizontal Bars**: High volume nodes (strong support/resistance)
- **Thin Horizontal Bars**: Low volume nodes (weak levels)
- **White Line (POC)**: Strongest support/resistance level
- **Blue Highlighted Area**: Value Area (fair value zone)
### Institutional Signals
- **Blue Triangles (PPV)**: Bullish institutional buying detected
- **Orange Triangles (PNV)**: Bearish institutional selling detected
- **Color-Coded Bars**: Different colors indicate institutional activity types
### Color Scheme Meanings
- **Heat Map**: Red (high volume) → Orange → Yellow → Gray (low volume)
- **Institutional**: Blue (PPV), Orange (PNV), Aqua (Accumulation), Yellow (Distribution)
- **Monochrome**: Grayscale intensity based on volume
- **Rainbow**: Color-coded by price level position
## Trading Applications

Volume CandlesVolume Candles — Context-Aware Candle Color
Description:
This visual indicator colors your price candles based on relative volume intensity, helping traders instantly detect low, medium, and high volume activity at a glance. It supports two modes — Percentile Ranking and Volume Average — offering flexible interpretation of volume pressure across all timeframes.
It uses a 3-tiered color system (bright, medium, dark) with customizable tones for both bullish and bearish candles.
How It Works:
You can choose between two modes for volume classification:
Ranking Mode (Default):
Measures current volume’s percentile rank over a lookback period. Higher percentiles = stronger color intensity.
Percentile thresholds:
< 50% → light color (low volume)
50–80% → medium intensity
> 80% → high volume
Volume Average Mode:
Compares current volume against its simple moving average (SMA).
Volume thresholds:
< 0.5× SMA → light color
Between 0.5× and 1.5× → medium
> 1.5× → high intensity
Candle Paint:
Candles are colored directly on the chart, not in a separate pane. Bullish candles use green shades, bearish use red. All colors are fully customizable.
How to Interpret:
Bright Colors = High volume (potential strength or climax)
Muted/Transparent Colors = Low or average volume (consolidation, traps)
Example Use Cases:
Spot fakeouts with large price movement on weak volume (dark color)
Confirm breakout strength with bright candles
Identify stealth accumulation/distribution
Inputs & Settings:
Mode: Ranking Percentile or Volume Average
Lookback Period for ranking and SMA
Custom Colors for bullish and bearish candles at 3 intensity levels
Best For:
Price action traders wanting context behind each candle
Scalpers and intraday traders needing real-time volume feedback
Anyone using volume as a filter for entries or breakouts
Pro Tips:
Combine with Price Action, Bollinger Bands or VWAP/EMA levels to confirm breakout validity and intent behind a move.
Use alongside RSI/MACD divergences for high-volume reversal signals.
For swing trading, expand the lookback period to better normalize volume over longer trends.
