NeuraEdge Block Trades v1.0NEURAEDGE BLOCK TRADES
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
We are excited to release Block Trades!
WHY THIS INDICATOR EXISTS?
Retail traders face a fundamental challenge: institutions move markets, but their activity is hidden. When smart money accumulates at support or distributes at resistance, retail traders often find themselves on the wrong side of the move.
Understanding where institutions are actively buying or selling is crucial for:
• Validating trade setups with volume confirmation
• Identifying supply and demand zones that actually hold
• Avoiding false breakouts driven by retail sentiment
• Spotting accumulation before major moves up
• Detecting distribution before major moves down
Most volume indicators simply show size without context. Block Trades was created to bridge this gap by detecting abnormally large volume bars and determining their directional bias, giving retail traders insight into institutional activity.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT IT DOES:
Block Trades identifies volume spikes that likely represent institutional order flow and classifies them as buying pressure, selling pressure, or contested zones. The indicator then validates these prints against directional flow analysis and groups nearby prints into accumulation or distribution clusters.
This helps you answer critical questions:
• Is this support level being defended by institutions?
• Are smart money players distributing into this rally?
• Is heavy volume confirming my trade or warning against it?
• Where are institutional interest zones forming?
KEY FEATURES:
• Multi-tier volume detection (Large: 2x, Huge: 3x, Massive: 5x average)
• Directional classification with flow validation
• Accumulation/distribution zone detection
• Print clustering for institutional interest areas
• Confluence scoring system (0-10 points)
• Real-time statistics dashboard
• Clean, minimal chart labels
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS:
VOLUME SPIKE DETECTION
The indicator monitors volume against a moving average baseline. When current volume significantly exceeds this average (default thresholds: 2x, 3x, 5x), it flags the bar as a potential institutional print.
DIRECTIONAL CLASSIFICATION
Buy Print: Large volume + closes in top 70% of range
Sell Print: Large volume + closes in bottom 70% of range
Neutral Print: Large volume + mid-range close (absorption/contested)
The close position within the bar's range reveals who won the battle. A bar with massive volume that closes near its high indicates aggressive buying. The same volume closing near the low indicates aggressive selling.
FLOW VALIDATION
Each print is validated against underlying institutional flow calculations. This filters out volume spikes that don't align with directional pressure, significantly reducing false signals. Buy prints require bullish flow, sell prints require bearish flow.
ACCUMULATION & DISTRIBUTION ZONES
When multiple prints occur at similar price levels with consistent direction:
• Repeated buy prints + bullish trend = Accumulation (institutions building positions)
• Repeated sell prints + bearish trend = Distribution (institutions unloading positions)
These zones often become powerful support/resistance levels because institutions have established significant positions there.
PRINT CLUSTERING
The indicator groups nearby prints (within configurable ATR distance) into clusters. When 3 or more prints form a cluster, it marks an institutional interest zone. These clusters frequently act as price magnets and reversal points.
PRINT CLUSTERING
The indicator groups nearby prints (within configurable ATR distance) into clusters. When 3 or more prints form a cluster, it marks an institutional interest zone. These clusters frequently act as price magnets and reversal points.
CONFLUENCE SCORING
Each print receives a confluence score (0-10 points) based on:
• Volume size (Massive: +3, Huge: +2, Large: +1)
• Flow alignment (+2 points, configurable)
• Trend alignment (+1)
• New high/low made (+1)
• Extreme close position (+1)
Prints with 5+ points receive a star marker, indicating ultra-high conviction setups.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TRADERS USE IT:
USE CASE 1: TRADE VALIDATION
Your system signals a long entry at support. Check Block Trades:
• Buy prints present at this level? Institutions defending = Take the trade
• Sell prints present? Institutions distributing = Skip or wait
• No prints? Proceed with normal risk management
USE CASE 2: IDENTIFYING EXHAUSTION
Price rallies to resistance with heavy volume:
• Sell prints appear = Distribution, institutions unloading into strength
• Likely reversal coming, consider shorts or exit longs
• Confirmed by multiple sell prints = High conviction reversal setup
USE CASE 3: FINDING SUPPORT/RESISTANCE
Accumulation cluster forms at 450 level:
• Multiple buy prints over several sessions
• Institutions building positions at this price
• 450 becomes high-probability support for future pullbacks
• Use for entries or stop placement
USE CASE 4: BREAKOUT CONFIRMATION
Price breaks above key resistance:
• Buy print on breakout bar = Real institutional participation
• High confluence score (5+) = Ultra-high conviction
• Fake breakout would show sell prints or no prints
USE CASE 5: AVOIDING TRAPS
Price spikes up on huge volume:
• Sell print appears (closes low in range) = Trap
• Institutions selling into retail FOMO
• Avoid chasing, prepare for reversal
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
VISUAL ELEMENTS:
ON-CHART LABELS
Buy Print: Green label below bar showing size (LARGE/HUGE/MASSIVE)
Sell Print: Red label above bar showing size
Contested Print: Orange label at bar high (large volume, mid-range close)
Accumulation: Green "ACCUM" label with diamond symbol
Distribution: Red "DISTRIB" label with diamond symbol
WHAT CONTESTED MEANS:
When a bar has massive volume but closes in the middle of its range (neither top nor bottom 70%), it indicates a battle between buyers and sellers with no clear winner. This often occurs at:
• Major support/resistance levels where institutions are absorbing supply/demand
• Transition zones before a directional move
• Areas of genuine price discovery and uncertainty
Contested prints can signal absorption (institutions quietly building positions) or genuine indecision. Watch for follow-through on the next bar to determine which side won.

Volumeanalysis
Delta Hawk CVD DivergencesCustomized Cumulative Volume Delta indicator that automatically labels divergences over a set number of bars.
Z-Score Regime DetectorThe Z-Score Regime Detector is a statistical market regime indicator that helps identify bullish and bearish market conditions based on normalized momentum of three core metrics:
- Price (Close)
- Volume
- Market Capitalization (via CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL)
Each metric is standardized using the Z-score over a user-defined period, allowing comparison of relative extremes across time. This removes raw value biases and reveals underlying momentum structure.
📊 How it Works
- Z-Score: Measures how far a current value deviates from its average in terms of standard deviations.
- A Bullish Regime is identified when both price and market cap Z-scores are above the volume Z-score.
- A Bearish Regime occurs when price and market cap Z-scores fall below volume Z-score.
Bias Signal:
- Bullish Bias = Price Z-score > Market Cap Z-score
- Bearish Bias = Market Cap Z-score > Price Z-score
This provides a statistically consistent framework to assess whether the market is flowing with strength or stress.
✅ Why This Might Be Effective
- Normalizing the data via Z-scores allows comparison of diverse metrics on a common scale.
- Using market cap offers broader insight than price alone, especially for crypto.
- Volume as a reference threshold helps identify accumulation/distribution regimes.
- Simple regime logic makes it suitable for trend confirmation, filtering, or position biasing in systems.

Volume–Phase Analyzer ProVolume–Phase Analyzer Pro – Trend & Institutional Volume Phases
This indicator analyzes how volume behaves relative to price movement to detect whether the market is in Accumulation, Markup, Distribution, or Markdown — the same phases institutions track in professional trading.
Unlike regular volume/MA mashups, this tool combines:
• Institutional volume classification (HighVol Up/Down, LowVol, Confused Vol)
• Price–volume efficiency and wick dominance
• Multi-Timeframe directional filters
• Volatility compression signals using Bollinger Width
• Volume mapped directly into the price chart as candles
• Smart signal engine with cooldown (prevents repeated signal spam)
This helps reveal w hen Smart Money is accumulating, pushing trends, unloading positions, or flushing liquidity.
────────────────────────────────────
How It Works
1️⃣ Volume Strength vs Average Volume
Identifies whether a move is backed by genuine buying/selling power.
2️⃣ Wick & Body Analysis
Confirms whether volume produced meaningful directional pressure — not just noise.
3️⃣ Trend Alignment
Fast EMA vs Slow EMA ensures signals align with active trend.
4️⃣ Higher-Timeframe Confirmation
Confirms if current movement agrees with a larger directional bias.
5️⃣ Compression Detection
When price volatility contracts while high-volume bars appear → phase shift often ahead.
────────────────────────────────────
Signals
BUY → Confirmed bullish demand with trend backing
SELL → Confirmed bearish supply taking control
TRAP → Likely stop-hunt or absorption — often before reversal
Signals only appear when multiple institutional conditions align.
A cooldown prevents repetitive signals like BUY-BUY-BUY.
────────────────────────────────────
Background shading helps visually locate these phases.
Markup phase:
• Meaning: Buyers are in control and the market is trending up
• Background color: Light green
Markdown phase:
• Meaning: Sellers are in control and the market is trending down
• Background color: Light red
Accumulation phase:
• Meaning: Smart Money quietly buying near the bottom before an uptrend
• Background color: Teal (blue-green)
Distribution phase:
• Meaning: Smart Money quietly selling near the top before a downtrend
• Background color: Light orange/yellow
Consolidation phase:
• Meaning: Sideways movement with low conviction
• Background color: Very light grey
Transition phase:
• Meaning: Market has not picked a direction yet
• Background color: No shading (clear background)
⸻
Quick Usage Notes
• Best trades are Buy signals during Markup and Sell signals during Markdown
• Accumulation and Distribution often come before reversals
• Consolidation is a low-quality trading zone
────────────────────────────────────
How to Trade It
• Take BUY signals during Markup
• Take SELL signals during Markdown
• Expect reversals near Trap signals, especially when phase is changing
• Avoid over-trading Consolidation zones
• Volume candles below price reveal when momentum is increasing or fading
Best applied on 5m–1H for intraday and swing confirmation.
────────────────────────────────────
Why This Indicator Is Unique
• It uses p rice-volume efficiency , not standard lagging signals
• It detects S mart Money intent , not retail reactions
• It avoids spam signals using an internal cooldown logic
• It gives context, not just entries — via live market-phase analysis
This makes it a multi-purpose tool for trend trading, breakout trading, and reversal anticipation.
────────────────────────────────────
Alerts Included
• Buy/Sell/Trap Signals
• Phase Change Alerts

Turnover (Volume * HLC/3)Let's get the elephant out of the room. Everyone knows volume is the key to validate price movement, but you can't compare two volume candles of the same stock when the price is 3 times different you need to account for that. So here it is, Turnover chart, to replace volume entirely, because why would you look at volume when you can look at turnover instead?
VWAP ±2σ Entry Signals (volume Weighted)This indicator builds a session based VWAP and plots the upper and lower 2nd standard deviation bands around it. These bands act as dynamic volatility edges for the session. When price reaches these outer bands, it often represents an extreme stretch away from fair value a place where mean reversion or exhaustion can occur.
The indicator generates trade signals only when price approaches the band from the correct direction, which filters out a lot of noise and reduces false touches.
How It Works
VWAP is calculated from the start of each session.
Standard deviation is computed using volume weighted prices, so the bands expand and contract with real market activity.
The upper and lower 2σ bands form natural "overextended" zones around VWAP.
Most VWAP band strategies fire signals every time price touches a band which produces a lot of junk signals.
This version avoids that by requiring direction based touches, meaning:
If price is already above the band, no sell signal appears.
If price is already below the band, no buy signal appears.
NeuraEdge ORB Professional Opening Range Breakout Indicator-15m🚀 NeuraEdge ORB - Professional Opening Range Breakout Indicator
We're excited to release this clean, effective Opening Range Breakout (ORB) indicator for the trading community. The 15-minute ORB is one of the most time-tested intraday strategies, and we've built this tool to make it simple and actionable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📖 WHAT IS THE 15-MINUTE ORB STRATEGY?
The Opening Range Breakout strategy captures the initial price range established in the first 15 minutes of market open (9:30-9:45 AM ET). This range often sets the tone for the trading day, as institutional order flow and overnight gap reactions play out during this window.
The concept is simple:
- Mark the HIGH and LOW of the first 15 minutes
- Trade the breakout when price breaks above or below this range
- Use the opposite side of the range as your stop loss
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚙️ HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR
1️⃣ SETUP
• Apply to SPY, QQQ, IWM, or any liquid stock/ETF
• Recommended timeframes: 1-minute or 5-minute charts
• The indicator automatically detects the 9:30-9:45 AM ET session
2️⃣ WAIT FOR THE RANGE
• A blue box will form showing the Opening Range
• Wait for the 15-minute period to complete (marked "✅ COMPLETE" in dashboard)
• Note the range size - larger ranges often mean stronger moves
3️⃣ TRADE THE BREAKOUT
• 🟢 LONG: When price closes above the Opening Range High
• 🔴 SHORT: When price closes below the Opening Range Low
• Signals appear automatically with entry, stop loss (SL), and take profit (TP) levels
4️⃣ MANAGE YOUR TRADE
• Stop Loss: Placed at opposite side of range (default) or midpoint
• Take Profit: Based on your selected Risk:Reward ratio
• The indicator tracks win rate automatically
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎯 ENTRY TYPES

Institution Radar Institution Radar
Institution Radar compares Price RSI with Volume-Delta RSI to show when price moves are real (backed by volume) or fake (moving without volume).
This helps reveal two powerful concepts:
Absorption (Bullish or Bearish)
Absorption happens when a large limit order is sitting in the order book.
Market orders hit it over and over, but the level doesn't break.
This usually means:
Strong players are absorbing the aggressive orders
Price is likely to move in the opposite direction
The next candle often reacts immediately
Can lead to a full reversal or just a short 1–2 candle move
Exhaustion (Bullish or Bearish)
Exhaustion happens when institutions pull their limit orders away.
There is no real volume behind the move, so price drifts up or down easily.
This usually means:
The current move is weak
A slowdown, pullback, or reversal is likely
Often shows up right before a flip in direction
📌 What the Signals Mean
Green signal → next candles often push upward
Red signal → next candles often push downward
These can mark trend reversals or temporary 1–2 candle reactions
🎚️ Sensitivity Setting
You can adjust how strict the signals are:
Lower sensitivity = more signals, more noise
Higher sensitivity = fewer signals, but more accurate and stronger
A higher sensitivity is recommended if you only want the cleanest institutional moments.
Smart Money Volume Matrix [Ata]Smart Money Volume Matrix
The Smart Money Volume Matrix (SMV Matrix) is an advanced volume-spread analysis (VSA) dashboard and charting tool designed to identify significant market anomalies by analyzing the relationship between price extremes and volume flow.
Unlike traditional indicators that rely solely on moving averages or oscillators, this tool performs a "Snapshot Analysis" of a defined lookback period (default: 100 bars) to rank price action based on Order Flow Dominance. It isolates the Top 10 Highest and Lowest Close prices and scrutinizes the volume behind them to categorize market sentiment into four distinct phases: Distribution, No Demand, Absorption, and Exhaustion.
Core Logic & Methodology
The script operates on a Zero-Lag Snapshot Engine. It does not print historical signals bar-by-bar; instead, it evaluates the current market structure relative to the recent history (Lookback Period).
1. Ranking Engine: The script scans the lookback period to find the Top 10 Highest Closes and Top 10 Lowest Closes.
2. Volume Classification: For each ranked bar, it calculates the "Intrabar Buy/Sell Volume" (or approximates it using candle geometry if Intrabar data is unavailable).
3. Dominance Detection: It compares Buying Volume vs. Selling Volume to determine who is in control at critical price levels.
Signal Classifications (VSA Logic)
The indicator generates labels on the chart and updates the dashboard table based on the following logic:
1. At Price Tops (Resistance Areas):
- Distribution (Supply): High Price + High Total Volume + Sellers Dominant.
Interpretation: Indicates heavy institutional selling into rising prices. Often precedes a reversal.
- Buy Climax: High Price + High Total Volume + Buyers Dominant.
Interpretation: Extreme buying frenzy. While bullish, it often marks a "trap" or temporary top due to exhaustion.
- No Demand: High Price + Low Volume.
Interpretation: Prices drifted higher but lack institutional participation. A sign of weakness.
2. At Price Bottoms (Support Areas):
- Absorption: Low Price + High Total Volume + Buyers Dominant.
Interpretation: Institutional money is absorbing selling pressure (passive buying). A strong sign of accumulation.
- Panic Sell: Low Price + High Total Volume + Sellers Dominant.
Interpretation: Extreme fear. High volume at lows typically indicates capitulation and potential hands-changing.
- Exhaustion: Low Price + Low Volume.
Interpretation: Selling pressure has dried up. The market may float upward due to lack of sellers.
Key Features
- Dashboard Matrix Table:
Displays the exact Close Price, Buy/Sell Volume, and Market State (Group) for the Top 10 ranking bars.
Smart Footer: Automatically detects the active "Resistance Zone" (derived from G1 Distribution levels) and "Support Zone" (derived from G3 Absorption levels) and reports the current price status relative to these zones (e.g., "Testing Resistance", "Breakout", "At Support").
- Smart Zones (Auto S/R):
Automatically draws Support and Resistance boxes extending into the future based on the most significant volume clusters found in the rankings. Includes logic to detect "Flips" (e.g., when Support breaks, it is labeled as a flip to Resistance).
- Average Trend Channels:
Calculates a Linear Regression trend line based specifically on the coordinates of the Top 10 Highs and Top 10 Lows, providing a "Best Fit" channel for the current market structure.
- Visual Clarity:
Labels utilize a "Smart Stacking" algorithm to prevent overlap on the chart. Guide lines connect labels to their respective candles for precise identification.
Settings & Configuration
- Matrix Settings: Lookback Period (default 100 bars) and Top Rank Count.
- Volume Engine: Choose between "Intrabar (Precise)" for accurate order flow or "Geometry (Approx)" for standard volume estimation.
- Visuals: Toggle Table, Labels, Lines, Zones, and Trend Lines. Adjust transparency and font sizes.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON SNAPSHOT LOGIC
This indicator is designed as a Real-Time Dashboard. It continuously updates the "Top 10" list as new candles form. Therefore, a label that appears on a candle may disappear if that candle falls out of the Top 10 ranking or leaves the lookback window. This is intended behavior to ensure the chart always reflects the current most critical levels, rather than a historical record of past signals. It is best used for live market analysis rather than historical back testing.
Disclaimer: This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only. Volume analysis is subjective and should be used in conjunction with other methods of technical analysis.
Weekday Close vs Open — Last N (per weekday)# Weekday Close vs Open - Last N Occurrences
This indicator distills every weekday's historical open-to-close behavior into a compact table so you can see how "typical" the current session is before the day even closes. It runs independently of your chart timeframe by pulling daily OHLCV data under the hood, tracking the last **N** completed occurrences for each weekday, and refreshing only when a daily bar closes. On daily charts you can also shade every past bar that matches today's weekday (excluding the in-progress session) to reinforce the pattern visually while the table remains non-repainting.
## What It Shows
- **Win/Loss/Tie counts** - how many of the last `N` occurrences closed above the open (wins), below (losses), or inside the tie threshold you define as "flat".
- **Win % heatmap** - the win column is color-coded (deep green > deep red) so you immediately recognize strong or weak weekdays.
- **Advanced metrics (optional)** - average daily volume plus the average percentage excursion above/below the open (`AvgUp%`, `AvgDn%`) for that weekday.
- **Totals row** - aggregates every weekday into one row to estimate overall hit rate and average stats across the entire data set.
- **Weekday shading (optional)** - on daily charts you can tint every bar that matches today's weekday (all Mondays, all Fridays, etc.) for instant pattern recognition.
## How It Works
1. The script requests daily OHLCV data (non-repainting) regardless of the chart timeframe.
2. When a new daily bar confirms, it packs that day's data into one of seven arrays (one per weekday). Each day contributes five floats (O/H/L/C/V) so trimming and statistics stay in lockstep.
3. A helper function (`f_dayMetrics`) scans daily history to compute average volume, average excursion above/below the open, and win/loss/tie counts for the requested weekday.
4. The table populates on the last bar of the chart session, respecting your advanced/totals toggles and keeping text at `size.normal`.
## Reading the Table
- **Win/Loss/Tie columns**: raw counts taken from your chosen `N`.
- **Win %***: excludes ties from the denominator so it reflects only decisive closes.
- **AvgUp% / AvgDn%**: typical intraday extension (high vs open, open vs low) in percent.
- **Avg Vol**: arithmetic mean of daily volume for that weekday.
- **TOTAL row**: provides a global win rate plus volume/up/down averages weighted by how many samples each weekday contributed.
## Practical Uses
- Spot weekdays that historically trend higher or lower before entering a trade.
- Compare current price action against the typical intraday range (`AvgUp%` vs today's move).
- Filter mean-reversion vs breakout setups based on the most reliable weekday patterns.
- Quickly gauge whether today is behaving "in character" by referencing the highlighted row or the optional whole-chart weekday shading.
> **Tip:** Use smaller `N` values (e.g., 10-20) for adaptive, recent behavior and larger values (50+) to capture longer-term seasonality. Tighten the tie threshold if you want almost every candle to register as win/loss, or widen it to focus only on meaningful moves.
High Volume Bars (Advanced)High Volume Bars (Advanced)
High Volume Bars (Advanced) is a Pine Script v6 indicator for TradingView that highlights bars with unusually high volume, with several ways to define “unusual”:
Classic: volume > moving average + N × standard deviation
Change-based: large change in volume vs previous bar
Z-score: statistically extreme volume values
Robust mode (optional): median + MAD, less sensitive to outliers
It can:
Recolor candles when volume is high
Optionally highlight the background
Optionally plot volume bands (center ± spread × multiplier)
⸻
1. How it works
At each bar the script:
Picks the volume source:
If Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar? is off → uses raw volume
If on → uses abs(volume - volume )
Computes baseline statistics over the chosen source:
Lookback bars
Moving average (SMA or EMA)
Standard deviation
Optionally replaces mean/std with robust stats:
Center = median (50th percentile)
Spread = MAD (median absolute deviation, scaled to approx σ)
Builds bands:
upper = center + spread * multiplier
lower = max(center - spread * multiplier, 0)
Flags a bar as “high volume” if:
It passes the mode logic:
Classic abs: volume > upper
Change mode: abs(volume - volume ) > upper
Z-score mode: z-score ≥ multiplier
AND the relative filter (optional): volume > average_volume * Min Volume vs Avg
AND it is past the first Skip First N Bars from the start of the chart
Colors the bar and (optionally) the background accordingly.
⸻
2. Inputs
2.1. Statistics
Lookback (len)
Number of bars used to compute the baseline stats (mean / median, std / MAD).
Typical values: 50–200.
StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier (mult)
How far from the baseline a bar must be to count as “high volume”.
In classic mode: volume > mean + mult × std
In z-score mode: z ≥ mult
Typical values: 1.0–2.5.
Use EMA Instead of SMA? (smooth_with_ema)
Off → uses SMA (slower but smoother).
On → uses EMA (reacts faster to recent changes).
Use Robust Stats (Median & MAD)? (use_robust)
Off → mean + standard deviation
On → median + MAD (less sensitive to a few insane spikes)
Useful for assets with occasional volume blow-ups.
⸻
2.2. Detection Mode
These inputs control how “unusual” is defined.
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar? (mode_change)
• Off (default) → uses absolute volume.
• On → uses abs(volume - volume ).
You then detect jumps in volume rather than absolute size.
Note: This is ignored if Z-Score mode is switched on (see below).
• Use Z-Score on Volume? (Overrides change) (mode_zscore)
• Off → high volume when raw value exceeds the upper band.
• On → computes z-score = (value − center) / spread and flags a bar as high when z ≥ multiplier.
Z-score mode can be combined with robust stats for more stable thresholds.
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter) (min_rel_mult)
An extra filter to ignore tiny-volume bars that are statistically “weird” but not meaningful.
• 0.0 → no filter (all stats-based candidates allowed).
• 1.0 → high-volume bar must also be at least equal to average volume.
• 1.5 → bar must be ≥ 1.5 × average volume.
• Skip First N Bars (from start of chart) (skip_open_bars)
Skips the first N bars of the chart when evaluating high-volume conditions.
This is mostly a safety / cosmetic option to avoid weird behavior on very early bars or backfill.
⸻
2.3. Visuals
• Show Volume Bands? (show_bands)
• If on, plots:
• Upper band (upper)
• Lower band (lower)
• Center line (vol_center)
These are plotted on the same pane as the script (usually the price chart).
• Also Highlight Background? (use_bg)
• If on, fills the background on high-volume bars with High-Vol Background.
• High-Vol Bar Transparency (0–100) (bar_transp)
Controls the opacity of the high-volume bar colors (up / down).
• 0 → fully opaque
• 100 → fully transparent (no visible effect)
• Up Color (upColor) / Down Color (dnColor)
• Regular bar colors (non high-volume) for up and down bars.
• Up High-Vol Base Color (upHighVolBase) / Down High-Vol Base Color (dnHighVolBase)
Base colors used for high-volume up/down bars. Transparency is applied on top of these via bar_transp.
• High-Vol Background (bgHighVolColor)
Background color used when Also Highlight Background? is enabled.
⸻
3. What gets colored and how
• Bar color (barcolor)
• Up bar:
• High volume → Up High-Vol Color
• Normal volume → Up Color
• Down bar:
• High volume → Down High-Vol Color
• Normal volume → Down Color
• Flat bar → neutral gray
• Background color (bgcolor)
• If Also Highlight Background? is on, high-volume bars get High-Vol Background.
• Otherwise, background is unchanged.
⸻
4. Alerts
The indicator exposes three alert conditions:
• High Volume Bar
Triggers whenever is_high is true (up or down).
• High Volume Up Bar
Triggers only when is_high is true and the bar closed up (close > open).
• High Volume Down Bar
Triggers only when is_high is true and the bar closed down (close < open).
You can use these in TradingView’s “Create Alert” dialog to:
• Get notified of potential breakout / exhaustion bars.
• Trigger webhook events for bots / custom infra.
⸻
5. Recommended presets
5.1. “Classic” high-volume detector (closest to original)
• Lookback: 150–200
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.0–1.5
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: off
• Use Robust Stats?: off
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: off
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: off
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.0–1.0
Behavior: Flags bars whose volume is notably above the recent average (plus a bit of noise filtering), same spirit as your initial implementation.
⸻
5.2. Volatility-aware (Z-score) mode
• Lookback: 100–200
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.5–2.0
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: on
• Use Robust Stats?: on (if asset has huge spikes)
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: off (ignored anyway in z-score mode)
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: on
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.5–1.0
Behavior: Flags bars that are “statistically extreme” relative to recent volume behavior, not just absolutely large. Good for assets where baseline volume drifts over time.
⸻
5.3. “Wake-up bar” (volume acceleration)
• Lookback: 50–100
• StdDev / Z-Score Multiplier: 1.0–1.5
• Use EMA Instead of SMA?: on
• Use Robust Stats?: optional
• Use Volume Change vs Previous Bar?: on
• Use Z-Score on Volume?: off
• Min Volume vs Avg (Filter): 0.5–1.0
Behavior: Emphasis on sudden increases in volume rather than absolute size – useful to catch “first active bar” after a quiet period.
⸻
6. Limitations / notes
• Time-of-day effects
The script currently treats the entire chart as one continuous “session”. On 24/7 markets (crypto) this is fine. For regular-session assets (equities, futures), volume naturally spikes at open/close; you may want to:
• Use a shorter Lookback, or
• Add a session-aware filter in a future iteration.
• Illiquid symbols
On very low-liquidity symbols, robust stats (Use Robust Stats) and a non-zero Min Volume vs Avg can help avoid “everything looks extreme” problems.
• Overlay behavior
overlay = true means:
• Bars are recolored on the price pane.
• Volume bands are also drawn on the price pane if enabled.
If you want a dedicated panel for the bands, duplicate the logic in a separate script with overlay = false.
Liquidity Void Zone Detector [PhenLabs]📊 Liquidity Void Zone Detector
Version: PineScript™v6
📌 Description
The Liquidity Void Zone Detector is a sophisticated technical indicator designed to identify and visualize areas where price moved with abnormally low volume or rapid momentum, creating "voids" in market liquidity. These zones represent areas where insufficient trading activity occurred during price movement, often acting as magnets for future price action as the market seeks to fill these gaps.
Built on PineScript v6, this indicator employs a dual-detection methodology that analyzes both volume depletion patterns and price movement intensity relative to ATR. The revolutionary 3D visualization system uses three-layer polyline rendering with adaptive transparency and vertical offsets, creating genuine depth perception where low liquidity zones visually recede and high liquidity zones protrude forward. This makes critical market structure immediately apparent without cluttering your chart.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Dual detection algorithm combining volume threshold analysis and ATR-normalized price movement sensitivity for comprehensive void identification
Three-layer 3D visualization system with progressive transparency gradients (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets for authentic depth perception
Intelligent state machine logic that tracks consecutive void bars and only renders zones meeting minimum qualification requirements
Dynamic strength scoring system (0-100 scale) that combines inverted volume ratios with movement intensity for accurate void characterization
Adaptive ATR-based spacing calculation that automatically adjusts 3D layering depth to match instrument volatility
Efficient memory management system supporting up to 100 simultaneous void visualizations with automatic array-based cleanup
🔧 Core Components
Volume Analysis Engine: Calculates rolling volume averages and compares current bar volume against dynamic thresholds to detect abnormally thin trading conditions
Price Movement Analyzer: Normalizes bar range against ATR to identify rapid price movements that indicate liquidity exhaustion regardless of instrument or timeframe
Void Tracking State Machine: Maintains persistent tracking of void start bars, price boundaries, consecutive bar counts, and cumulative strength across multiple bars
3D Polyline Renderer: Generates three-layer rectangular polylines with precise timestamp-to-bar index conversion and progressive offset calculations
Strength Calculation System: Combines volume component (inverted ratio capped at 100) with movement component (ATR intensity × 30) for comprehensive void scoring
🔥 Key Features
Automatic Void Detection: Continuously scans price action for low volume conditions or rapid movements, triggering void tracking when thresholds are exceeded
Real-Time Visualization: Creates 3D rectangular zones spanning from void initiation to termination, with color-coded depth indicating liquidity type
Adjustable Sensitivity: Configure volume threshold multiplier (0.1-2.0x), price movement sensitivity (0.5-5.0x), and minimum qualifying bars (1-10) for customized detection
Dual Color Coding: Separate visual treatment for low liquidity voids (receding red) and high liquidity zones (protruding green) based on 50-point strength threshold
Optional Compact Labels: Toggle LV (Low Volume) or HV (High Volume) circular labels at void centers for quick identification without visual clutter
Lookback Period Control: Adjust analysis window from 5 to 100 bars to match your trading timeframe and market volatility characteristics
Memory-Efficient Design: Automatically manages polyline and label arrays, deleting oldest elements when user-defined maximum is reached
Data Window Integration: Plots void detection binary, current strength score, and average volume for detailed analysis in TradingView's data window
🎨 Visualization
Three-Layer Depth System: Each void is rendered as three stacked polylines with progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) and calculated vertical offsets creating authentic 3D appearance
Directional Depth Perception: Low liquidity zones recede with back layer most transparent; high liquidity zones protrude with front layer most transparent for instant visual differentiation
Adaptive Offset Spacing: Vertical separation between layers calculated as ATR(14) × 0.001, ensuring consistent 3D effect across different instruments and volatility regimes
Color Customization: Fully configurable base colors for both low liquidity zones (default: red with 80 transparency) and high liquidity zones (default: green with 80 transparency)
Minimal Chart Clutter: Closed polylines with matching line and fill colors create clean rectangular zones without unnecessary borders or visual noise
Background Highlight: Subtle yellow background (96% transparency) marks bars where void conditions are actively detected in real-time
Compact Labeling: Optional tiny circular labels with 60% transparent backgrounds positioned at void center points for quick reference
📖 Usage Guidelines
Detection Settings
Lookback Period: Default: 10 | Range: 5-100 | Number of bars analyzed for volume averaging and void detection. Lower values increase sensitivity to recent changes; higher values smooth detection across longer timeframes. Adjust based on your trading timeframe: short-term traders use 5-15, swing traders use 20-50, position traders use 50-100.
Volume Threshold: Default: 1.0 | Range: 0.1-2.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier applied to average volume. Bars with volume below (average × threshold) trigger void conditions. Lower values detect only extreme volume depletion; higher values capture more moderate low-volume situations. Start with 1.0 and decrease to 0.5-0.7 for stricter detection.
Price Movement Sensitivity: Default: 1.5 | Range: 0.5-5.0 (step 0.1) | Multiplier for ATR-normalized price movement detection. Values above this threshold indicate rapid price changes suggesting liquidity voids. Increase to 2.0-3.0 for volatile instruments; decrease to 0.8-1.2 for ranging or low-volatility conditions.
Minimum Void Bars: Default: 10 | Range: 1-10 | Minimum consecutive bars exhibiting void conditions required before visualization is created. Filters out brief anomalies and ensures only sustained voids are displayed. Use 1-3 for scalping, 5-10 for intraday trading, 10+ for swing trading to match your time horizon.
Visual Settings
Low Liquidity Color: Default: Red (80% transparent) | Base color for zones where volume depletion or rapid movement indicates thin liquidity. These zones recede visually (back layer most transparent). Choose colors that contrast with your chart theme for optimal visibility.
High Liquidity Color: Default: Green (80% transparent) | Base color for zones with relatively higher liquidity compared to void threshold. These zones protrude visually (front layer most transparent). Ensure clear differentiation from low liquidity color.
Show Void Labels: Default: True | Toggle display of compact LV/HV labels at void centers. Disable for cleaner charts when trading; enable for analysis and review to quickly identify void types across your chart.
Max Visible Voids: Default: 50 | Range: 10-100 | Maximum number of void visualizations kept on chart. Each void uses 3 polylines, so setting of 50 maintains 150 total polylines. Higher values preserve more history but may impact performance on lower-end systems.
✅ Best Use Cases
Gap Fill Trading: Identify unfilled liquidity voids that price frequently returns to, providing high-probability retest and reversal opportunities when price approaches these zones
Breakout Validation: Distinguish genuine breakouts through established liquidity from false breaks into void zones that lack sustainable volume support
Support/Resistance Confluence: Layer void detection over key horizontal levels to validate structural integrity—levels within high liquidity zones are stronger than those in voids
Trend Continuation: Monitor for new void formation in trend direction as potential continuation zones where price may accelerate due to reduced resistance
Range Trading: Identify void zones within consolidation ranges that price tends to traverse quickly, helping to avoid getting caught in rapid moves through thin areas
Entry Timing: Wait for price to reach void boundaries rather than entering mid-void, as voids tend to be traversed quickly with limited profit-taking opportunities
⚠️ Limitations
Historical Pattern Indicator: Identifies past liquidity voids but cannot predict whether price will return to fill them or when filling might occur
No Volume on Forex: Indicator uses tick volume for forex pairs, which approximates but doesn't represent true trading volume, potentially affecting detection accuracy
Lagging Confirmation: Requires minimum consecutive bars (default 10) before void is visualized, meaning detection occurs after void formation begins
Trending Market Behavior: Strong trends driven by fundamental catalysts may create voids that remain unfilled for extended periods or permanently
Timeframe Dependency: Detection sensitivity varies significantly across timeframes; settings optimized for one timeframe may not perform well on others
No Directional Bias: Indicator identifies liquidity characteristics but provides no predictive signal for price direction after void detection
Performance Considerations: Higher max visible void settings combined with small minimum void bars can generate numerous visualizations impacting chart rendering speed
💡 What Makes This Unique
Industry-First 3D Visualization: Unlike flat volume or liquidity indicators, the three-layer rendering with directional depth perception provides instant visual hierarchy of liquidity quality
Dual-Mode Detection: Combines both volume-based and movement-based detection methodologies, capturing voids that single-approach indicators miss
Intelligent Qualification System: State machine logic prevents premature visualization by requiring sustained void conditions, reducing false signals and chart clutter
ATR-Normalized Analysis: All detection thresholds adapt to instrument volatility, ensuring consistent performance across stocks, forex, crypto, and futures without constant recalibration
Transparency-Based Depth: Uses progressive transparency gradients rather than colors or patterns to create depth, maintaining visual clarity while conveying information hierarchy
Comprehensive Strength Metrics: 0-100 void strength calculation considers both the degree of volume depletion and the magnitude of price movement for nuanced zone characterization
🔬 How It Works
Phase 1: Real-Time Detection
On each bar close, the indicator calculates average volume over the lookback period and compares current bar volume against the volume threshold multiplier
Simultaneously measures current bar's high-low range and normalizes it against ATR, comparing the result to price movement sensitivity parameter
If either volume falls below threshold OR movement exceeds sensitivity threshold, the bar is flagged as exhibiting void characteristics
Phase 2: Void Tracking & Qualification
When void conditions first appear, state machine initializes tracking variables: start bar index, initial top/bottom prices, consecutive bar counter, and cumulative strength accumulator
Each subsequent bar with void conditions extends the tracking, updating price boundaries to envelope all bars and accumulating strength scores
When void conditions cease, system checks if consecutive bar count meets minimum threshold; if yes, proceeds to visualization; if no, discards the tracking and resets
Phase 3: 3D Visualization Construction
Calculates average void strength by dividing cumulative strength by number of bars, then determines if void is low liquidity (>50 strength) or high liquidity (≤50 strength)
Generates three polyline layers spanning from start bar to end bar and from top price to bottom price, each with calculated vertical offset based on ATR
Applies progressive transparency (85%, 78%, 70%) with layer ordering creating recession effect for low liquidity zones and protrusion effect for high liquidity zones
Creates optional center label and pushes all visual elements into arrays for memory management
Phase 4: Memory Management & Display
Continuously monitors polyline array size (each void creates 3 polylines); when total exceeds max visible voids × 3, deletes oldest polylines via array.shift()
Similarly manages label array, removing oldest labels when count exceeds maximum to prevent memory accumulation over extended chart history
Plots diagnostic data to TradingView’s data window (void detection binary, current strength, average volume) for detailed analysis without cluttering main chart
💡 Note:
This indicator is designed to enhance your market structure analysis by revealing liquidity characteristics that aren’t visible through standard price and volume displays. For best results, combine void detection with your existing support/resistance analysis, trend identification, and risk management framework. Liquidity voids are descriptive of past market behavior and should inform positioning decisions rather than serve as standalone entry/exit signals. Experiment with detection parameters across different timeframes to find settings that align with your trading style and instrument characteristics.
Effort HeatmapThe Effort Heatmap visualizes where meaningful, same-direction volume occurred inside an imbalance during strong directional movement.
Instead of analyzing total bar volume or traditional volume-at-price distributions, this tool reconstructs a simplified internal volume profile using lower-timeframe data.
When a Fair Value Gap forms during a high-volume displacement, the script highlights the portions of the imbalance candle where directional effort was concentrated and projects those regions forward as a heatmap.
The purpose of this indicator is not to predict price or represent institutional activity, but to offer a visual way to study how the market delivered volume inside a move that created an imbalance.
How It Works
1. Lower-Timeframe Volume Extraction
The indicator retrieves open, close, and volume data from a selected lower timeframe.
Only sub-candles that move in the same direction as the previous bar are considered, ensuring the heatmap reflects directional effort—not mixed volume.
2. Candle Body Binning
The FVG candle is divided into multiple horizontal bins.
Each lower-timeframe sub-candle contributes volume proportionally to the bins it overlaps, creating a vertical volume distribution for that bar.
3. Imbalance (FVG) Detection
A simple 3-bar displacement logic detects bullish or bearish imbalances.
An optional Z-Score filter ensures the heatmap only forms when volume is relatively elevated compared to recent history.
4. Heatmap Projection
When a qualifying imbalance occurs:
• The FVG bar’s volume distribution is normalized
• Only areas with relatively elevated volume are displayed
• Colored heatmap boxes are created and extend forward
• These boxes remain until price trades into or through them
This allows traders to observe how price interacts with past zones of concentrated directional effort.
What Makes It Different
Most volume tools focus on fixed session profiles, market-wide volume-at-price calculations, or bar-level volume totals.
The Effort Heatmap instead reconstructs a per-bar vertical volume distribution using lower-timeframe price action and displays it only when displacement occurs.
Rather than treating the candle as a single block of volume, the indicator highlights where inside the candle body volume was delivered while moving in the displacement direction.
This creates a unique visualization of directional effort that conventional profiles, OB/FVG indicators, and classic oscillators do not show.
How to Use It
1. Apply to any timeframe: The indicator works on all chart timeframes, but gains more detail when higher timeframes are used in combination with lower-timeframe volume data.
2. Identify displacement moments: When a bullish or bearish FVG forms with a high volume Z-Score, the heatmap will appear.
3. Observe the heatmap structure:
Each horizontal band represents the relative concentration of same-direction volume inside the previous candle.
4. Watch how price interacts with these zones:
Heatmap areas extend until price touches or trades through them, at which point they stop extending and are finalized.
5. Combine with your own analysis:
These areas can be used to study...
...how past directional volume clusters influence current movement
...structural reactions to zones of prior effort
...which parts of a displacement candle were most active
The indicator is a visual study tool, not a signal generator.
Settings
• Volume Source Timeframe
Chooses the lower timeframe used to reconstruct internal volume. Smaller timeframes give more detail; larger timeframes give smoother profiles.
• Z-Score Lookback
Controls how many bars are used to measure relative volume. Larger values make the volume filter stricter.
• Z-Score Threshold
Minimum relative-volume strength required to draw a heatmap. Higher values show only high-effort moves.
• Volume Filter (%)
Removes weaker bins based on how much volume they contain compared to the strongest one. Higher percentages = fewer but more meaningful zones.
• Bullish / Bearish Colors
Sets the base color for heatmap boxes depending on direction.

Adaptive Window Volume ProfileThe indicator builds a rolling volume profile over a chosen time window (1, 3, 12 months or lower), finds POC, VAH/VAL, RH/RL, HVN/LVN, and then overlays volume-driven bar colors (climax, initiative, absorption) filtered by a 30-day RVWAP trend, so you can see where big volume traded and who is winning there right now.
Example Use Case:
How to use it on 4H with 3-month and 12-month rolling profiles:
On a 4H chart, you run two copies of the indicator, both in Rolling Lookback mode, both using the Full (Overlap) engine:
Instance A – 12-month rolling profile (macro map):
-Rolling Unit: Months
-Rolling Length: 12
This gives you the 1-year composite:
-12M RH / RL → outer range of where almost all yearly volume traded (macro high/low “rails”).
-12M VAH / VAL → yearly value area: where the market has been comfortable doing business over the last year.
-12M POC → the single most traded price of the last 12 months (macro gravity).
-12M HVNs/LVNs → long-term shelves (acceptance) and gaps (knife-edges).
Use this instance to answer:
Where are we in the last year’s distribution, and are we approaching macro extremes or living in fair value?
-Combine it with the 30-day RVWAP regime the script computes:
-Above RVWAP and RVWAP rising → macro bull tilt.
-Below RVWAP and RVWAP falling → macro bear tilt.
For example:
-Price near 12M RL with RVWAP bull → potential deep-discount accumulation zone.
-Price near 12M RH with RVWAP bear → potential exhaustion / distribution zone.
Instance B – 3-month rolling profile (tactical map)
-Rolling Unit: Months
-Rolling Length: 3
This builds a 3-month composite on top of your 4H chart:
-3M RH / RL → extremes of the current quarter’s trading.
-3M VAH / VAL → current “fair value box” for the last 90-ish days.
-3M POC → where recent volume concentrates most heavily.
-3M HVNs/LVNs → fresh shelves and gaps inside the bigger yearly structure.
You use this instance for actual trade locations and management:
-Pullbacks into 3M VAL / RL that still sit inside the 12M value and in a bull RVWAP regime → high-probability dip-buy zones; you then look for bull initiative/absorption bar colors to confirm entry.
-Rallies into 3M VAH / RH that line up near 12M VAH / RH in a bear RVWAP regime → good areas to look for shorts, especially when you see bear climax/initiative bars there.
-3M LVNs that coincide with 12M LVNs or VA edges act as sharp decision points: acceptance through often means expansion; rejection often means reversal.
How it all fits together
On your 4H chart, with both instances active:
-12M profile = macro context and big terrain (where the yearly battlefield is).
-3M profile = tactical zones (where to actually trade inside that terrain).
-Bar colors (climax / initiative / absorption) filtered by 30-day RVWAP = timing + confirmation at those levels, favoring the side that has trend and effort behind it.
So the indicator, used this way, becomes:
-one instance to tell you where the big war is being fought (12M)
-one instance to tell you where the current campaign inside that war is concentrated (3M)
-bar colors to tell you whether the team you want to back is actually showing up with size when price hits those levels.
Volume Dynamics Pro [ChartNation]Volume Dynamics Pro by ChartNation is an advanced volume profile indicator that visualizes volume distribution across price levels using a proprietary mirrored butterfly design. The indicator identifies high-volume nodes (areas of significant trading activity) and the Point of Control (POC) - the price level with the highest traded volume within the lookback period.
KEY FEATURES:
Dynamic Volume Profile: Displays volume distribution across 25 price bins with a mirrored butterfly visualization that extends into future bars for forward-looking analysis
Point of Control (POC): Automatically identifies and highlights the price level with maximum volume, featuring a pulsing animation and optional price label with customizable positioning
Multiple Anchoring Modes: Choose between Rolling, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Session-based profile calculations to match your trading timeframe
Smart Range Calculation: Three range modes (Fixed Lookback, Hybrid Smart, Percentage-Based) automatically adjust the volume profile range based on recent price action
Volume-Responsive Visualization: Line thickness and glow intensity scale with volume magnitude, making high-volume areas immediately visible
Premium Statistics Box: Real-time display of POC price, total volume, range metrics, and price position relative to POC
Advanced Alert System: Configurable alerts for POC crosses, range breakouts, high-volume zone entries, and volume spikes
Professional Styling: Volume-based line styles (solid/dashed/dotted), gradient bias coloring (support/resistance), dual-tone depth borders, and customizable glow effects
HOW IT WORKS:
The indicator divides the price range into 25 bins and calculates total volume traded at each level. The mirrored butterfly profile displays this distribution, with wider sections indicating higher volume. The POC line marks the price with maximum activity - a critical level often acting as support or resistance.
Volume traces are color-coded: green tint below current price (potential support), red tint above (potential resistance). The intensity of coloring increases as price approaches each level, helping traders identify nearby high-volume zones.
USE CASES:
Identify institutional order flow and accumulation/distribution zones
Locate high-probability support and resistance levels based on actual trading activity
Track POC shifts to understand changing market structure
Confirm breakout validity by analyzing volume at key price levels
Optimize entry/exit points around high-volume nodes
SETTINGS OVERVIEW:
The indicator offers extensive customization across multiple groups: POC styling and extensions, statistics box display, profile anchoring, range calculation modes, alert configuration, line styles, volume-proportional thickness, gradient bias, glow system, depth borders, POC pulse animation, and volume profile display parameters.
Cumulative Delta Difference HistogramINTRODUCTION:
This "Cumulative Delta Difference Histogram" is a volume-based indicator that calculates the difference (delta) between aggressive buying volume and selling volume for each candle and then builds a cumulative momentum histogram with the following behavior:
Momentum Tracking: The indicator accumulates the delta values when the delta is positive and increasing, producing green bars whose height visually represents growing buying pressure momentum.
Negative Momentum Detection: When the delta becomes negative or starts to decline, the histogram bars turn red and the accumulation decreases, effectively showing increasing selling pressure momentum.
Directional Reset: On each change from positive to negative delta momentum or vice versa, the accumulator resets to zero, providing a clear and sharp visualization of shifts without persistence from previous trends.
Zero Reference Line: A horizontal zero line serves as a visual baseline to distinguish positive from negative momentum easily.
HOW TO USE:
To trade effectively using the "Cumulative Delta Difference Histogram," you compare the price action chart with the indicator to confirm momentum and detect potential reversals or continuations. Here's how to do it in practice:
Confirming Trends:
When the price is rising, look for the histogram bars to be green and increasing, indicating strong and growing buying pressure supporting the uptrend. If price rises but the histogram shows diminishing green bars or shifts to red, it could signal weakening momentum and a potential reversal.
Identifying Divergences:
Compare price highs/lows with histogram peaks. If price makes a new high but the histogram fails to make a corresponding new high (bearish divergence), it warns of a possible trend reversal. Conversely, if price makes a new low but histogram shows higher lows (bullish divergence), it signals potential bullish reversal.
Volume Confirmation:
The histogram reflects real-time volume aggression behind price moves. Confirmation of price breakouts or breakdowns by corresponding strong histogram colors and bar height increases adds reliability to signals.
By aligning price patterns and levels with the cumulative delta histogram's signals, traders gain a deeper understanding of market strength and better timing for trades.
This combined approach improves the accuracy of entries and exits beyond relying on price alone, especially in markets sensitive to order flow and volume dynamics.
Use this indicator with a default volume or with my other indicator "Agression Histogram" for a better reading.
POC Volume Bar (Highest Volume in Range)What the highlighted POC bar means
🔶 1. Institutional interest
A POC often identifies where big money stepped in.
🔶 2. Support or resistance pivot
Large volume often signals:
• A reversal
• A breakout
• Or the beginning of a trend
🔶 3. Liquidity magnet
Price tends to revisit high-volume bars.
They act like magnets.
🔶 4. Trend confirmation or exhaustion
High volume on:
• Green candle → bullish participation
• Red candle → distribution / aggressive selling
Trading Range Aggression Histogram
This indicator is a histogram that accumulates the net volume of aggressive buying and selling per candle, representing the dominant market pressure within defined time-frame.
The indicator works by continuously summing volumes as long as the aggression remains in the same direction, resetting and reversing the accumulation when the pressure changes sides.
This creates visual waves that facilitate the perception of phases dominated by buyers and sellers over time. The tool is useful to identify moments of strength, weakness, and potential reversals in a dynamic market, especially in short-term trading.
Screener (SSA) [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script is a multi-symbol screener that serves as a dashboard companion to the "Smart Signals Assistant (SSA)" indicator. Its purpose is to monitor the entire suite of SSA components—from the core signals to all confluence tools—across a customizable watchlist of up to 18 assets. By displaying the real-time status of each indicator in a single table, it allows traders to get a bird's-eye view of the market, quickly identify assets with strong trend confluence, and filter for high-probability setups without needing to switch charts.
The screener is designed to mirror the modularity of the main SSA indicator, allowing you to enable or disable components in the table to match your preferred trading dashboard.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The screener is built directly on the analytical framework of the Smart Signals Assistant, applying its complex, proprietary algorithms to each symbol in your watchlist and summarizing the results. The combination of these different analytical concepts is what gives the screener its utility, as it helps traders find opportunities where multiple, distinct strategies align.
Each column in the table represents a core trading concept:
Smart Signals: This is the primary signal engine, designed to identify potential entry points. It operates in different modes to capture both long-term swings and faster scalping opportunities.
Fair Value Trail (FVT): This component provides a dynamic, volatility-adjusted baseline for the trend. It acts as a form of dynamic support or resistance, helping to confirm the validity of a trend shown by the Smart Signals.
Trend Spine: This tool is designed to identify the underlying "backbone" of the market's trend. It filters out short-term price noise to provide a more stable, clear indication of the dominant market direction.
Trend Bias: This measures the strength and conviction behind a trend. It helps distinguish between a strong, accelerating move and a weak, decelerating one, adding a layer of momentum analysis.
Firmament Clouds: These are volatility-based bands that create dynamic overbought and oversold zones. They help identify when price is potentially overextended and due for a pullback or consolidation.
Trend-Range Classifier (TRC): A machine-learning model that analyzes market characteristics to classify the current environment as either "Trending" or "Ranging." This is crucial for helping traders apply the right strategy for the current conditions.
🟠 FEATURES
This screener organizes the complex data from the SSA indicator into a simple, color-coded table. Here is a breakdown of each column and its possible values:
Asset: Displays the ticker symbol for the asset being analyzed.
Smart Signals: Shows the latest signal from the core engine.
▲: A standard bullish signal has been detected.
▼: A standard bearish signal has been detected.
▲+: A strong bullish signal with higher conviction has been detected.
▼+: A strong bearish signal with higher conviction has been detected.
Fair Value Trail: Indicates the trend direction based on the volatility trail.
▲: The FVT is in a bullish trend (acting as dynamic support).
▼: The FVT is in a bearish trend (acting as dynamic resistance).
Trend Spine: Shows the direction of the core underlying trend.
▲: The underlying trend backbone is bullish.
▼: The underlying trend backbone is bearish.
Trend Bias: Measures the current momentum strength.
Strong▲: Strong and accelerating bullish momentum.
Weak▲: Bullish momentum exists but is weakening.
Strong▼: Strong and accelerating bearish momentum.
Weak▼: Bearish momentum exists but is weakening.
Firmament Clouds: Identifies overbought/oversold conditions relative to volatility.
Very Overbought / Overbought: Price is significantly extended above its recent range.
Very Oversold / Oversold: Price is significantly extended below its recent range.
Neutral: Price is trading within its normal volatility range.
Trend-Range Classifier: Displays the market state as determined by the ML model.
Trend: The market is in a trending environment, suitable for trend-following strategies.
Range: The market is in a ranging or consolidating environment, suitable for mean-reversion strategies.
Exit Signal Count: Tracks the number of take-profit signals that have occurred since the last primary Smart Signal.
0, 1, 2, 3...: A numerical count of exit signals. A higher number suggests a trend may be maturing or exhausting.
🟠 USAGE
The main purpose of the screener is to quickly identify assets where multiple components of the SSA system are in alignment, indicating a high-confluence trading opportunity.
1. Setup and Configuration:
Add the screener to your chart.
Go into the settings and populate the "Watchlist" group with the symbols you wish to monitor.
Ensure the settings for the components (Time Horizon, Signal Mode, etc.) are synchronized with the settings on your main SSA indicator for consistency.
2. Interpreting the Columns for Trading Decisions:
Start with the Big Picture (TRC): First, look at the "Trend-Range Classifier" column. If it shows "Trend," you should be looking for trend-following setups. If it shows "Range," you might avoid taking strong trend signals.
Establish Directional Bias (Spine & Bias): For trend-following, look for assets where the "Trend Spine" and "Trend Bias" agree. A "▲" in the Spine column combined with a "Strong▲" in the Bias column indicates a healthy and robust uptrend.
Time Your Entry (Smart Signals): Once you have an asset with a clear bias, watch the "Smart Signals" column for a fresh signal that aligns with that bias. A "▲+" signal appearing in an asset with a strong bullish bias across other columns is a high-confluence entry point.
Add Context (FVT & Clouds): Use the "Fair Value Trail" and "Firmament Clouds" to refine your entry. A buy signal is generally stronger if the FVT is also bullish ("▲") and the price is not in a "Very Overbought" state according to the clouds.
Manage the Trade (Exit Count): After entering a trade, keep an eye on the "Exit Signal Count." As the number increases, it serves as a warning that the trend is becoming extended and it might be time to take partial profits or tighten your stop-loss.

Map resistance levels where smart money sellers consistently reject higher prices with volume confirmation
Combine with price action analysis to confirm breakout validity when price approaches confidence channel boundaries
Use invalidation signals to exit positions when smart money zones are definitively breached
Monitor the real-time dashboard to quickly assess current market structure and active rejection zones
Adapt strategy based on calculation method: ATR for trending markets, StdDev for ranging conditions
Set alerts on confidence level breaches to catch potential trend reversals or continuation patterns
📈 Visual Interpretation Guide
Green Zones indicate bullish rejection blocks where buyers defended with high volume and lower wicks
Red Zones indicate bearish rejection blocks where sellers defended with high volume and upper wicks
Solid Center Lines represent the core rejection price level where maximum volume activity occurred
Dashed Confidence Boundaries show upper and lower statistical limits based on volatility calculations
Zone Opacity decreases as channels extend forward to indicate decreasing confidence over time
Dashboard Color Coding provides instant visual feedback on active volume spike and zone conditions
⚠️ Important Considerations
Volume-based indicators identify historical rejection zones but cannot predict future price action with certainty
Market conditions change rapidly and institutional activity patterns evolve continuously
High volume does not guarantee level defense as market structure can shift without warning
Confidence intervals represent statistical probabilities, not guaranteed price boundaries
Volume HeatMap Divergence [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volume HeatMap Divergence is a smart volume visualization tool that overlays normalized volume data directly on the chart. Using a color heatmap from aqua to red, it transforms raw volume into an intuitive scale — highlighting areas of weak to intense market participation. Additionally, it detects volume-based divergences from price to signal potential reversals or exhaustion zones. Combined with clear visual labeling, this tool empowers traders with actionable volume insights.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Normalized Volume Heatmap : Volume is normalized to a 0–100% scale and visually represented as candles below the chart.
float vol = volume / ta.percentile_nearest_rank(volume, 1000, 100) * 100
Bar Coloring : Price candles are dynamically colored based on volume intensity.
Volume Divergence Logic :
Bullish Divergence : Price forms a lower low, but volume forms a higher low.
Bearish Divergence : Price forms a higher high, but volume forms a lower high.
Dynamic Detection Range : Customizable range ensures divergence signals are meaningful and not random.
Volume Labels : Additional info on divergence bars shows both the actual volume and its normalized % score.
🔵 FEATURES
Volume Heatmap Plot : Normalized volume values colored using a smooth gradient from aqua (low) to red (high).
Price Bar Coloring : Candlesticks on the main chart adopt the same heatmap color based on volume.
Divergence Detection :
Bullish divergence with label and low marker
Bearish divergence with label and high marker
Dual Divergence Labels :
On the volume plot : Direction (Bull/Bear), raw volume, and normalized %
On the price chart : Shape labels showing "Bull" or "Bear" at local highs/lows
Custom Inputs :
Divergence range (min & max), pivot detection distance (left/right)
Toggle to show/hide divergence labels, volume, and % text
Clear Bull/Bear Coloring : Fully customizable label and line colors for both bullish and bearish signals.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use the indicator as an overlay to monitor real-time volume strength using the heatmap color.
Watch for divergence markers:
Bullish divergence: Candle shows higher volume while price makes a new low
Bearish divergence: Candle shows lower volume while price makes a new high
Use the volume info labels to verify the context of divergence:
Actual volume at divergence candle
Normalized % of that volume compared to past 1000 bars
Adjust pivot sensitivity using "Pivot Left" and "Pivot Right" to tune signal frequency and lag with a right pivot length.
Use divergence zones as early warnings for potential reversals or trend shifts.
Disable or customize labels in settings depending on your charting preferences.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volume HeatMap Divergence merges heatmap-style volume visualization with intelligent divergence detection — giving traders a clean yet powerful edge. By revealing hidden disconnections between price and participation, it helps users spot exhaustion moves or hidden accumulation zones before the market reacts. Whether you’re a scalper, swing trader, or intraday strategist, this tool offers real-time clarity on who’s in control behind the candles.
Cumulative Delta_Effort vs Result_immy**Cumulative Delta Oscillator\_effort**
This script creates a “Cumulative Delta Effort vs Result” oscillator, a custom indicator designed to measure the balance between buying and selling pressure (Effort) versus actual price movement (Result).
**How It Works**
Delta Volume: Measures aggressive buying vs selling per candle.
Cumulative Delta: Tracks net buying/selling pressure over time.
Effort vs Result: Compares volume delta (effort) to price movement (result).
Oscillator: Highlights divergence between effort and result, useful for spotting absorption (high effort, low result) and exhaustion (low effort, high result).
Histogram: Visual cue for accumulation/distribution zones.
----------------------------
This indicator combines volume delta (effort) and price movement (result), so it tells you how efficiently volume is moving price — a concept sometimes called effort vs. result analysis in Wyckoff or volume–spread analysis (VSA).
🔍 Concept Summary
Effort (delta volume) = how much buying/selling pressure is there (volume side).
Result (price change) = how much that effort moves price (price side).
Oscillator (Effort − Result) = how much “extra” effort is not producing movement — often showing absorption or exhaustion.
📈 How to Interpret the Signals
1\. Oscillator above Signal line → Bullish Momentum
When osc > signal, histogram turns green.
Means buying effort is stronger than price reaction — often early sign of accumulation or rising demand.
This can signal:
Possible bullish continuation if confirmed by rising prices.
Or early absorption if prices aren’t yet breaking out (smart money absorbing supply).
✅ Bullish Entry Signal:
When the oscillator crosses above the signal line (green cross) and price is near support or consolidating → potential long setup.
2\. Oscillator below Signal line → Bearish Momentum
When osc < signal, histogram turns red.
Selling effort dominates; can mean increasing supply or price exhaustion.
This often appears before:
Bearish continuation (trend strengthening)
Or upthrust/exhaustion (price rising on weak volume)
❌ Bearish Entry Signal:
When the oscillator crosses below the signal line (red cross), especially if near resistance → potential short setup.
3\. Crossovers
The alert is triggered when: ta.cross(osc, signal)
That means:
Bullish crossover: oscillator line crosses above signal → potential buy momentum shift.
Bearish crossover: oscillator line crosses below signal → potential sell momentum shift.
These work like MACD crossovers, but volume-adjusted.
4\. Zero Line
The zero line is the neutral point.
When osc crosses above zero, overall buying effort exceeds price change — market gaining strength.
When osc crosses below zero, selling pressure increases — market weakening.
→ Combining signal line crosses with zero-line crosses gives stronger confirmation.
5\. Histogram Analysis (Absorption \& Exhaustion)**
Tall green bars: rising momentum (buyers dominate)
Tall red bars: falling momentum (sellers dominate)
Shrinking bars: momentum fading — possible reversal zone.
If volume increases but price stalls, oscillator may spike while price stays flat — absorption (big players taking the opposite side).
If price surges but oscillator weakens, exhaustion — move running out of volume support.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
🧠 Practical Strategy Example
Situation What It Might Mean Possible Action
Oscillator crosses above signal near support Buyer effort increasing, price may rise Go long / close shorts
Oscillator crosses below signal near resistance Seller effort rising, price may drop Go short / take profits
Oscillator high but price flat Absorption (big players absorbing supply) Wait for breakout confirmation
Oscillator low but price flat Absorption (demand absorbing supply) Look for bullish reversal
Oscillator diverges from price Volume–price divergence Early warning of reversal
⚙️ Best Practice
Works best on volume-sensitive assets (futures, crypto, forex tick data).
**Combine with:**
Price structure (support/resistance)
Volume profile / delta footprint
Candle confirmation
We’ll go through both bullish and bearish examples so you can see how to trade with it in real market context.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🟩 Example 1 — Bullish Setup (Long Trade)
Step 1. Context: Identify Potential Support Zone
Before relying on any indicator, find support using:
Previous swing low
Demand zone
VWAP / volume profile node
Trendline or moving average
👉 You’re looking for a place where buyers might step in.
Step 2. Wait for Oscillator Signal
Watch the oscillator panel:
The oscillator (green line) has been below the signal line (orange) → bearish phase.
Then it crosses above the signal line and the histogram turns green.
This means:
➡️ Buying “effort” is increasing faster than price reaction — momentum shift upward.
Step 3. Confirm with Price
On your chart:
Candle closes above short-term resistance or above previous candle high
Ideally volume confirms (green candle with increasing volume)
✅ Bullish Entry Condition
osc crosses above signal
price closes above local resistance
Step 4. Entry \& Stop
Entry: Next candle open after confirmation cross
Stop-loss: Below recent swing low or support zone
Take profit:
2R or 3R target
or near next resistance level
🧠 Optional filter: Only take the trade if oscillator is rising from below zero (coming out of weakness).
Step 5. Manage Trade
If oscillator flattens or starts curling down → tighten stop
If it crosses below the signal again → consider exit
Example Interpretation:
Oscillator crosses above signal from -200 to +100, histogram turns green, price breaks a resistance line → strong bullish reversal → enter long.
🟥 Example 2 — Bearish Setup (Short Trade)
Step 1. Context: Find Resistance
Look for: Prior swing high
Supply zone
Major moving average
Trendline top
Step 2. Wait for Oscillator Cross Down
The oscillator (green) crosses below the signal line (orange).
Histogram turns red.
This means:
➡️ Selling effort is rising relative to price movement — bearish pressure.
Step 3. Confirm with Price
Price fails to make higher highs, or
Forms a bearish engulfing candle near resistance.
✅ Bearish Entry Condition
osc crosses below signal
price confirms with bearish candle
Step 4. Entry \& Stop
Entry: On next candle open
Stop-loss: Above resistance or recent swing high
Take profit: 2R or more or at next major support
Step 5. Exit on Opposite Signal
If oscillator crosses back above signal → momentum shift → exit short.
⚙️ Pro Tips
Tip Why It Matters
Use on 15m–4H+ charts More reliable delta signal
Combine with volume or OBV Confirms “effort” strength
Watch divergences Early reversals
Align with higher timeframe trend Avoid countertrend traps
