Market Session Times and Volume [Market Spotter]Market Session Times and Volume
Market Session Times
Inputs
The inputs tab consists of timezone adjustment which would be the chosen timezone for the plotting of the market sessions based on the market timings.
Further it contains settings for each box to show/hide and change box colour and timings for Asian, London and New York Sessions.
How it works
The indicator primarily works by marking the session highs and lows for the chosen time in the inputs, each of the sessions can be input a custom time value which would plot the box. It helps to identify the important price levels and the trading range for each individual session.
The midpoint of each session is marked with a dashed line. The indicator also marks a developing session while it being formed as well to identify potential secondary levels.
Usage
It can be used to trade session breakouts, false breaks and also divide the daily movement into parts and identify possible patterns while trading.
2. Volumes
Inputs
The volume part has 2 inputs - Smoothing and Normalisation. The smoothing period can simply be used to take in charge volumes of last X bars and normalisation can be used for calculating relative volumes based on last Y bars.
How it works
The indicator takes into account the buy and sell volumes of last X bars and then displays that as a relative smoothed volume which helps to identify longer term build or distribution of volume. It plots the positive volume from 0 to 100 and negative volume from 0 to -100 which has been normalised. The colors identify gradual increase or decrease in volumes
Usage
It can also be used to trade volume spikes well and can identify potential market shifts

Abnormal volume [VG]🪙 INTRODUCTION
This technical indicator helps identify and highlight large volume clusters on the chart.
Abnormal volume refers to unusually large accumulations of volume over short time intervals. Such clusters appear when the amount of assets bought or sold significantly exceeds typical volumes for a specific asset over a given period. These patterns can indicate significant events or intentions of market participants.
Reasons for abnormal volume clusters:
Institutional investments :
Large investment funds and banks may buy or sell significant volumes of assets to rebalance their portfolios.
Impact of news and events :
Important news (e.g., mergers, bankruptcies, management changes) can trigger large-scale buying or selling of assets.
Market manipulation :
Big players may execute large trades to artificially create demand or supply for an asset, affecting its price in the short term.
Insider trading :
Abnormal volumes may signal that someone with insider information has started buying or selling assets in anticipation of future events that could impact the price.
What do abnormal volume clusters mean for traders?
A signal of potential price changes :
High trading volumes are often accompanied by sharp price movements. An increase in volume during price growth might indicate rising interest in the asset, while an increase during a decline could signal a sell-off.
Potential entry or exit points :
For short-term traders, abnormal trades can serve as signals to enter or exit positions. For example, a large volume growth accompanied by a breakout of a key level might be seen as a buy signal.
Caution due to potential manipulation :
Abnormal trades don’t always lead to expected outcomes. Sometimes, they are part of a price manipulation strategy, so it’s essential to consider the broader context and confirm with other signals.
🪙 USAGE
This indicator doesn’t provide trading signals, entry points, or actionable recommendations.
Instead, it simplifies tracking market dynamics and highlights unusual activity worth considering during analysis.
After adding the indicator to the chart, you only need to configure two parameters: the threshold value that determines what constitutes a significant volume cluster and the period over which volumes are aggregated for comparison against the threshold.
It’s recommended to use the shortest available period, as this helps more precisely identify the prevailing volume direction (since this depends on price changes, not trade direction).
The threshold value can be fine-tuned by switching the chart’s timeframe to match the selected period, observing of the significant volume increase on the classic volume histogram, and noting the corresponding market reactions. This allows for selecting a threshold that highlights early signs of impactful trading events on higher timeframes.
Let’s look at an example in the screenshot:
Once the parameters are set, you can also enable an alert to trigger whenever a new volume cluster appears, simplifying event tracking.
Note: in the current version of the indicator, the alert will be triggered only once per bar on the chart at the first detected cluster of abnormal volume.
🪙 IMPLEMENTATION
Technically, the script retrieves volume data from a lower timeframe and estimates whether the volume was primarily generated by buyers or sellers based on price movements.
The lower resolution timeframe is determined as follows:
if the settings base period is less than 1 minute, then the data timeframe will be equal to 1 second
if the settings base period is equals 1 minute or more, then the data timeframe will be equal to 1 minute
The algorithm checks whether the price increased or decreased at each point. If the price rose, the volume is presumed to be driven by buyers and marked as buy volume; otherwise, it’s marked as sell volume.
The total volume at each point is then checked against the user-defined threshold. If the volume exceeds the threshold, a corresponding circle is drawn on the chart, and an alert is generated if created.
The size of the visual representation is proportional to the most recent maximum volume and follows the rules below:
Percentage of max volume -> Volume cluster size
less than 25% -> Tiny
25% to 50% -> Small
50% to 75% -> Normal
75% to 100% -> Large
100% or more -> Huge
🪙 SETTINGS
The indicator is designed to be as simple and minimalist as possible, making configuration effortless. There are only two core parameters, with additional options to customize the colors of volume clusters based on their type.
Trade volume threshold
Defines the volume level above which a cluster is considered significant and displayed on the chart as a circle. The size of the circle depends on the proportion of the current volume relative to the most recent maximum over the chosen period.
Trades base period
Specifies the period for aggregating trade volumes to determine whether they qualify as abnormal. The significance level is set using the Trade volume threshold parameter.
Buy/Sell trades
Allows you to set the colors for abnormal volume circles based on the price direction during cluster formation.
🪙 CONCLUSION
Abnormal volume clusters are always a critical indicator requiring attention and analysis, but they are not a guaranteed predictor of trend changes.
Momentum Indicator (ATR & Volume)Description:
The Momentum Indicator (ATR & Volume) is a specialized tool that identifies potential trend reversals and anomalies in financial markets. By amplifying the interaction between volatility (measured through the Average True Range, ATR) and trading volume, this indicator provides a nuanced approach to spotting critical market transitions. Spikes in the combined momentum value often signal the exhaustion of a current trend and the potential onset of a new one.
Core Functionality:
Average True Range (ATR):
The ATR is calculated over a user-defined period to measure market volatility. It reflects the degree of price movement, capturing both gap and range-based volatility.
Volume Smoothing:
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume over a specified period is computed to standardize trading activity and provide a benchmark for comparison.
Momentum Calculation:
The raw momentum is determined as the difference between the current close and the previous close, offering a snapshot of directional strength.
Combined Momentum:
This innovative metric is derived by normalizing momentum using ATR and scaling it with the ratio of current volume to its SMA.
This approach enhances the signal's sensitivity to volatility and volume spikes, aligning it with market anomalies.
Visual Components:
Combined Momentum Line (Blue): Displays the amplified momentum, highlighting significant shifts in market behavior.
Neutral Line (Gray): A horizontal reference line at zero, separating bullish from bearish momentum.
Advanced Concepts:
Amplification of Anomalies:
By integrating ATR and volume dynamics, the indicator amplifies market irregularities, providing clarity during pivotal moments of trend transitions.
Spike Detection for Trend Reversals:
Spikes in the combined momentum often correlate with abrupt changes in volatility and volume, signaling potential trend reversals.
Applications:
Trend Reversal Identification:
Monitor for spikes in the combined momentum, which frequently mark the end of a trend and the start of a new directional move.
Market Anomalies:
Use this indicator to detect periods of heightened market activity driven by abnormal volatility or volume.
Volatility-Driven Signals:
Leverage the interaction between ATR and volume to gain insights into market strength and exhaustion points.
Additional Features:
Dynamic Labeling:
Displays real-time ATR and Volume SMA values directly on the chart for immediate context and decision-making.
Disclaimer:
This indicator is intended for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice. Traders should perform their own analysis and consult with professionals before making any investment decisions.

- volume_factor: Controls sensitivity to volume deviation
2. Price Weighting:
weighted_price = source_price * v2i
3. Accumulation Process:
- Iterates through length*10 periods
- Accumulates weighted prices and volume influence values
- Continues until volume influence sum >= specified length or strict rule triggers
4. Final VAMA Value:
vama = (weighted_sum - (volume_sum - length) * last_price) / length
Parameters:
- SampleN: Historical reference length (0=full history)
- Length: Base period for calculation
- VI Factor: Volume influence multiplier (>0.01)

Bostian Intraday Intensity Index (BII)The Bostian Intraday Intensity Index (BII) is a metric used to analyze the trading volume and price movements of a specific stock or asset, measuring the strength and pressure of the market. BII captures buy and sell signals by examining the relationship between trading volume and price fluctuations. Below is an explanation of the key components and calculation method for BII:
○ BII Formula:
sum(V*((C-L)^2-(H-C)^2))/(H-L)))
V (Volume): Trading volume
C (Close): Closing price
L (Low): Lowest price
H (High): Highest price
○ Meaning of the Indicator:
Positive Values: When BII is positive, it indicates strong buying pressure. The closer the closing price is to the high, the stronger the buying pressure.
Negative Values: When BII is negative, it indicates strong selling pressure. The closer the closing price is to the low, the stronger the selling pressure.
○ How to Use:
Buy Signal: When the BII value is positive and trending upwards, it may be considered a buying opportunity.
Sell Signal: When the BII value is negative and trending downwards, it may be considered a selling opportunity.
The BII indicator is useful for analyzing the strength and pressure of the market through the correlation of price movements and trading volume. It helps investors capture buy and sell signals to make better investment decisions.
Accumulation Momentum IndicatorEveryone wants to be in a trend, I think this indicator does a great job at showing that key momentum that traders try and capitalize on everyday. I used a Stochastic Momentum Indicator (SMI) indicator. It's a lot like a slower MACD which allows me to capitalize on changing momentum. My goal was to make an indicator that was able to use a weighted mean of many accumulation/momentum indicators. This would give me a well rounded look to really see what direction the momentum and volume is heading.
I did some research on some of the best Accumulation and Momentum Indicators. I landed on 4.
The Accumulation Distribution line which measures the cumulative flow of money in or out of a security. It helps show how quickly money is going in and out of a commodity. The line moving up quickly indicates fast Accumulation while the A/C line is moving down quickly is shows falling Distribution. This can show the momentum and accumulation of a commodity in short and long term based off of Volume.
The On Balance Volume, OBV is a combination of Price Movement and Volume. If price closes higher then the previous bar volume is added while if the price closes lower volume is subtracted. This gives us an overall tally of whether volume is increasing with price or slowing down the momentum in the direction of the current trend. This gives us the ability to see if volume is supporting the price increasing (beginning/middle of a trend) or price is slowing down even though it is still heading in the direction of the current trend (signaling the end of the current trend).
The Force Index, this indicator measures the overall strength of the price movements. It does this by a calculation of price and volume. The close of the current bar subtracted by the previous multiplied by the volume. The result gives us either strong upward or downward motion. This adds magnitude to the overall movement/momentum of the indicator.
Lastly but most certainly not least is the Momentum indicator, (Price Momentum) a simple indicator that shows you the difference between the current close price and the close price from a specified period ago (Most commonly 14 periods/bars ago). Having this indicator is a must because it shows the speed at which price is accelerating or decelerating.
These 4 indicators together help round out the current volume, price movements, accumulation, and momentum of the current market. Since these indicators all have different scales and calculations I had to Normalize the Values to a 0-100 scale. This gives us 1 line and a much more readable easy to understand indicator. After they were normalized I gave them a weighted average that you can control. So lets say you cared more about the Force Index and the OBV rather then the Momentum and the Accumulation Distribution indicators, you would be able to give them more weight in the overall calculation as well as 0 out those you don't even want involved.
I hope the flexibility and the combination of 4 strong Accumulation Momentum indicators helps you better gauge the direction a commodity might head. The way it's used is when the Accumulation Momentum line is Above 50 buying pressure is stronger then selling pressure. An Accumulation Momentum line Below 50 suggests that distribution is more dominant in the current market. This indicator combines four different methods of analyzing price and volume to give you a single composite momentum score, making it easier to visualize when a commodity is being accumulated or distributed and how quickly this process is happening. It helps you track market sentiment based on both price movement and volume, with a clear, visual representation of buying and selling pressure.
Please let me know what you think and how you think I might be able to improve the script. Enjoy!

Customization:
length: You can adjust the length input parameter to change the period over which the average is calculated.
Visualization:
The buy trendline is plotted in Green and represents the average net buying vs. selling volume over the specified period.
The sell trendline is plotted in Red and represents the average net selling vs. buying volume over the specified period.
Note: This script provides an approximation and should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools to make informed trading decisions.
Multi-Timeframe Volume-Weighted RSIA multiple timeframe volume-weighted RSI.
Blue Line = Current Time Frame
Orange Line = Select your desired Time Frame
e.g. Blue = Daily, Orange = Weekly
1. Incorporates Market Commitment
Value: By factoring in volume, the volume-weighted RSI captures the intensity of trading activity behind price movements.
Why it’s useful:
Regular RSI measures price momentum but does not differentiate between moves with high or low trading activity.
A volume-weighted RSI assigns greater importance to price changes occurring on high volume, reflecting stronger market conviction.
2. Improved Signal Reliability
Value: Signals generated by a volume-weighted RSI (e.g., overbought or oversold conditions) may be more reliable because they account for the level of trader participation.
Why it’s useful:
Low-volume price movements often result in false signals or "noise."
A volume-weighted RSI helps filter out such noise, reducing the likelihood of false breakouts or fake reversals.
3. Better Divergence Detection
Value: Divergences between price action and the RSI (bullish or bearish divergences) are more meaningful when confirmed by volume.
Why it’s useful:
Regular RSI might show divergence in price momentum, but this divergence might lack substance if the underlying volume is weak.
A volume-weighted RSI ensures that divergence signals align with periods of significant market participation.
4. Enhanced Trend Analysis
Value: Trends supported by strong volume are given more weight, helping traders better identify and follow trends.
Why it’s useful:
Regular RSI might show overbought or oversold signals prematurely during strong trends.
Volume-weighted RSI considers whether trends are backed by significant market activity, helping avoid early exits.
5. More Meaningful Overbought/Oversold Levels
Value: Levels like 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold) are more credible when supported by volume.
Why it’s useful:
In a regular RSI, overbought or oversold levels might occur on light trading, leading to false reversals.
A volume-weighted RSI ensures these levels are triggered by substantial market participation, increasing their reliability.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: Use the volume-weighted RSI to confirm whether momentum in a trend is supported by strong participation.
Divergence Spotting: Identify divergences with more confidence by prioritizing those with volume support.
Filtering False Breakouts: Avoid entering trades during weak volume phases by focusing on volume-weighted RSI signals.
Limitations:
Market Type Dependency: Its usefulness may diminish in low-volume assets or markets where volume data is unavailable (e.g., forex).

Gabriel's Bull Bear Power Elder's Force IndexGabriel's Bull Bear Power Elder's Force Index (BBP-EFI) Indicator!
The Bull and Bear Power indicators were created by Dr. Alexander Elder, a renowned trader, psychologist, and author. He introduced these indicators in his book, "Trading for a Living" (1993). These tools are part of Elder's broader trading system and are designed to measure the strength of buying (bull) and selling (bear) pressures in the market.
About the Bull and Bear Power Indicators
Bull Power:
Measures the strength of buyers.
Formula:
Bull Power = High Price - Exponential Moving Average (EMA(Close))
Bull Power2 = High Price − Exponential Moving Average (EMA(Close))
Bear Power:
Measures the strength of sellers.
Formula:
Bear Power = Low Price − Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Bear Power2 = Low Price−Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Purpose:
These indicators work together to determine the balance of power between bulls and bears.
When combined with a trend indicator (like an EMA), they help identify potential trend reversals or continuations.
Other Indicators/Systems by Dr. Alexander Elder
Elder-Ray Index:
The Bull Power and Bear Power indicators are part of the Elder-Ray Index system.
This system combines Bull Power, Bear Power, and an EMA to analyze market trends and momentum.
Elder's Triple Screen Trading System:
One of Dr. Elder's most famous contributions.
A multi-timeframe trading system that combines trend-following indicators on higher timeframes with oscillators on lower timeframes.
Example:
Screen 1: Identify the trend on a higher timeframe using moving averages or MACD.
Screen 2: Use an oscillator such as Elder's Bull-Bear Power! or (e.g., Stochastic, RSI) to find entry points.
Screen 3: Use price action or breakouts for precise entries.
Elder's Force Index:
Measures the strength of bulls or bears by combining price changes and volume.
Formula:
Force Index = (Close − Close 𝑡 − 1) × Volume
Force Index = (Close t − Close t−1) × Volume
This is useful for identifying trend strength, momentum, and potential reversals.
Legacy of Dr. Alexander Elder
Dr. Elder’s work emphasizes:
Psychology in Trading:
As a trained psychiatrist, he highlights the importance of emotional discipline and understanding market psychology.
Multi-Factor Analysis:
He encourages using multiple indicators and timeframes for comprehensive analysis.
His contributions, particularly the Bull/Bear Power, Elder's Force Index, and the Triple Screen Trading System, remain highly respected and widely used in modern trading. I put the two famous indicators together, and I use the Triple Screen Trading system to trade with it!
Gabriel's Elder's Two-In-One Indicator:
The Bull Bear Power Elder's Force Index (BBP-EFI) is a custom technical indicator designed to analyze market momentum and identify potential trend reversals by combining the concepts of Elder's Force Index with Bull and Bear Power indicators. It offers traders a comprehensive view of buying and selling pressures in the market, helping to make more informed trading decisions.
Key Components:
First is Elder's Force Index (EFI):
Definition: Measures the strength of price movements multiplied by volume, reflecting the force behind price changes.
Calculation:
EFI for Close Prices: eficlose = EMA(change(close) * volume, length)
EFI for High Prices: efihigh = EMA(change(high) * volume, length)
EFI for Low Prices: efilow = EMA(change(low) * volume, length)
Note: length is a user-defined input for the EMA period.
Second is calculating the Bull and Bear Power using EFI as the Source:
Bull Power: Reflects the ability of buyers to push prices above the average consensus (EMA of EFI Close).
Calculation: bullPower = efihigh - EMA(eficlose, lengthInput)
Bear Power: Reflects the ability of sellers to push prices below the average consensus.
Calculation: bearPower = efilow - EMA(eficlose, lengthInput)
Note: lengthInput is a separate user-defined input for the EMA period in Bull and Bear Power calculations.
Bull Bear Power (BBP):
Calculation: bbp = bullPower + bearPower
Interpretation:
Positive BBP: Indicates bullish momentum.
Negative BBP: Indicates bearish momentum.
Features:

Visualization:
Histogram and Line Plot: BBP is displayed both as a histogram and a line for better visualization.
Color Coding: Positive values in green shades (bullish), negative values in red shades (bearish).
Moving Average Plot: Optional smoothing line plotted over the BBP.
Bollinger Bands: Upper and lower bands plotted when the SMA + Bollinger Bands option is selected.
Background Coloring: Highlights areas where BBP crosses over or under the moving average.
How to Use the Indicator:
Identifying Trends:
Bullish Momentum: When BBP is above zero and rising, it indicates increasing buying pressure.
Bearish Momentum: When BBP is below zero and falling, it indicates increasing selling pressure.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
Overbought: When BBP rises above the upper band (ub), the market may be overextended on the buy side.
Oversold: When BBP falls below the lower band (db), the market may be overextended on the sell side.
Divergence Signals:
Bullish Divergence: Consider buying opportunities when a bullish divergence is detected.
Bearish Divergence: Consider selling or shorting opportunities when a bearish divergence is detected.
Smoothing with Moving Averages:
Trend Confirmation: Use the moving average of BBP to confirm trends and filter out noise.
Crossovers: BBP crossing above the moving average may signal a bullish trend, while crossing below may signal a bearish trend.
Bollinger Bands Application:
Volatility Assessment: Bollinger Bands widen during high volatility and narrow during low volatility.
Breakout Signals: A move outside the bands may indicate a strong trend continuation or reversal.

Complementary Use: It is recommended to use the BBP-EFI in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and not as a standalone indicator.
Alerts Configuration: Ensure alerts are properly set up in your trading platform to receive notifications based on the indicator's signals.
Example Usage Scenario:
Trend Confirmation: A trader observes that BBP has crossed above zero and the smoothing moving average, with a rising histogram. This suggests a strengthening bullish trend, and the trader considers entering a long position.
Overbought Condition: BBP reaches above the upper overbought band. The trader watches closely for any signs of reversal or divergence to secure profits or tighten stop-loss orders.
Bullish Divergence: Despite price making a lower low, BBP makes a higher low, triggering a bullish divergence alert. The trader anticipates a potential trend reversal and prepares to enter a long position.
By combining momentum, volume, and price action analysis, the Bull Bear Power Elder's Force Index indicator provides a multifaceted view of market dynamics, aiding traders in making more nuanced and timely trading decisions.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Max Pain StrategyThe Max Pain Strategy uses a combination of volume and price movement thresholds to identify potential "pain zones" in the market. A "pain zone" is considered when the volume exceeds a certain multiple of its average over a defined lookback period, and the price movement exceeds a predefined percentage relative to the price at the beginning of the lookback period.
Here’s how the strategy functions step-by-step:
Inputs:
length: Defines the lookback period used to calculate the moving average of volume and the price change over that period.
volMultiplier: Sets a threshold multiplier for the volume; if the volume exceeds the average volume multiplied by this factor, it triggers the condition for a potential "pain zone."
priceMultiplier: Sets a threshold for the minimum percentage price change that is required for a "pain zone" condition.
Calculations:
averageVolume: The simple moving average (SMA) of volume over the specified lookback period.
priceChange: The absolute difference in price between the current bar's close and the close from the lookback period (length).
Pain Zone Condition:
The condition for entering a position is triggered if both the volume is higher than the average volume by the volMultiplier and the price change exceeds the price at the length-period ago by the priceMultiplier. This is an indication of significant market activity that could result in a price move.
Position Entry:
A long position is entered when the "pain zone" condition is met.
Exit Strategy:
The position is closed after the specified holdPeriods, which defines how many periods the position will be held after being entered.
Visualization:
A small triangle is plotted on the chart where the "pain zone" condition is met.
The background color changes to a semi-transparent red when the "pain zone" is active.
Scientific Explanation of the Components
Volume Analysis and Price Movement: These are two critical factors in trading strategies. Volume often serves as an indicator of market strength (or weakness), and price movement is a direct reflection of market sentiment. Higher volume with significant price movement may suggest that the market is entering a phase of increased volatility or trend formation, which the strategy aims to exploit.
Volume analysis: The study of volume as an indicator of market participation, with increased volume often signaling stronger trends (Murphy, J. J., Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets).
Price movement thresholds: A large price change over a short period may be interpreted as a breakout or a potential reversal point, aligning with volatility and liquidity analysis (Schwager, J. D., Market Wizards).
Repainting Check: This strategy does not involve any repainting because it is based on current and past data, and there is no reference to future values in the decision-making process. However, any strategy that uses lagging indicators or conditions based on historical bars, like close , is inherently a lagging strategy and might not predict real-time price action accurately until after the fact.
Risk Management: The position hold duration is predefined, which adds an element of time-based risk control. This duration ensures that the strategy does not hold a position indefinitely, which could expose it to unnecessary risk.
Potential Issues and Considerations
Repainting:
The strategy does not utilize future data or conditions that depend on future bars, so it does not inherently suffer from repainting issues.
However, since the strategy relies on volume and price change over a set lookback period, the decision to enter or exit a trade is only made after the data for the current bar is complete, meaning the trade decisions are somewhat delayed, which could be seen as a lagging feature rather than a repainting one.
Lagging Nature:
As with many technical analysis-based strategies, this one is based on past data (moving averages, price changes), meaning it reacts to market movements after they have already occurred, rather than predicting future price actions.
Overfitting Risk:
With parameters like the lookback period and multipliers being user-adjustable, there is a risk of overfitting to historical data. Adjusting parameters too much based on past performance can lead to poor out-of-sample results (Gauthier, P., Practical Quantitative Finance).
Conclusion
The Max Pain Strategy is a simple approach to identifying potential market entries based on volume spikes and significant price changes. It avoids repainting by relying solely on historical and current bar data, but it is inherently a lagging strategy that reacts to price and volume patterns after they have occurred. Therefore, the strategy can be effective in trending markets but may struggle in highly volatile, sideways markets.
Volume Volatility and Delta Indicator (HN)This Volume Volatility Indicator with Overall Average from Hossein.N helps you visualize the volatility of volume on different timeframes and compares it to the average volume over a given period. It includes several components:
Volume Volatility Indicator (Blue Line): This shows the volatility of volume relative to its moving average over a specified period. Higher values indicate more volatile trading conditions.
Long-Term Volatility Average (Orange Line): This line shows the moving average of the volume volatility indicator over a longer period. It acts as a benchmark for comparing the current volume volatility with historical trends.
Average Volume on Up Days (Green Line): Displays the average volume on days when the price is going up (green).
Average Volume on Down Days (Red Line): Displays the average volume on days when the price is going down (red).
Delta in Percentage (Blue Line): This shows the difference between the average volume of up days and down days, expressed as a percentage of the overall moving average of volume. It can be used to identify bullish or bearish volume imbalances. For example:
Positive values indicate that the volume on up days is stronger than on down days, which could suggest a bullish trend.
Negative values suggest that volume on down days is stronger than on up days, potentially indicating a bearish trend.
Zero Line (Gray Dotted Line): A reference line at 0 that helps you identify when the delta is positive or negative, and visualize the neutral point where volume is balanced between up and down days.
How to Use This Indicator:
Add to Your Chart: Copy the script above and paste it into TradingView's Pine Script editor. Click "Add to Chart" to visualize the indicator.
Interpret the Indicator:
Volume Volatility: A higher value suggests high market volatility. When volume is highly volatile, it may indicate more significant price movements or market uncertainty.
Long-Term Average of Volatility: Use this line as a reference to see whether current volatility is above or below average over a longer period.
Delta in Percentage: This is particularly useful to compare the strength of buying and selling volume. A positive delta percentage suggests strong buying pressure, while a negative delta suggests strong selling pressure. The closer the delta is to zero, the more balanced the volume between up and down days.
Use for Trend Confirmation: The indicator can help confirm trends. If the delta percentage is positive and increasing, and the volume volatility is above average, it could signal strong bullish momentum. Conversely, if the delta is negative and the volume volatility is rising, it may suggest bearish sentiment.

TechniTrend: Volatility and MACD Trend Highlighter🟦 Overview
The "Candle Volatility with Trend Prediction" indicator is a powerful tool designed to identify market volatility based on candle movement relative to average volume while also incorporating trend predictions using the MACD. This indicator is ideal for traders who want to detect volatile market conditions and anticipate potential price movements, leveraging both price changes and volume dynamics.
It not only highlights candles with significant price movements but also integrates a trend analysis based on the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), allowing traders to gauge whether the market momentum aligns with or diverges from the detected volatility.
🟦 Key Features
🔸Volatility Detection: Identifies candles that exceed normal price fluctuations based on average volume and recent price volatility.
🔸Trend Prediction: Uses the MACD indicator to overlay trend analysis, signaling potential market direction shifts.
🔸Volume-Based Analysis: Integrates customizable moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, etc.) of volume, providing a clear visualization of volume trends.
🔸Alert System: Automatically notifies traders of high-volatility situations, aiding in timely decision-making.
🔸Customizability: Includes multiple settings to tailor the indicator to different market conditions and timeframes.
🟦 How It Works
The indicator operates by evaluating the price volatility in relation to average volume and identifying when a candle's volatility surpasses a threshold defined by the user. The key calculations include:
🔸Average Volume Calculation: The user selects the type of moving average (SMA, EMA, etc.) to calculate the average volume over a set period.
🔸Volatility Measurement: The indicator measures the body change (difference between open and close) and the high-low range of each candle. It then calculates recent price volatility using a standard deviation over a user-defined length.
🔸Weighted Index: A unique index is created by dividing price change by average volume and recent volatility.
🔸Highlighting Volatility: If the weighted index exceeds a customizable threshold, the candle is highlighted, indicating potential trading opportunities.
🔸Trend Analysis with MACD: The MACD line and signal line are plotted and adjusted with a user-defined multiplier to visualize trends alongside the volatility signals.
🟦 Recommended Settings
🔸Volume MA Length: A default of 14 periods for the average volume calculation is recommended. Adjust to higher periods for long-term trends and shorter periods for quick trades.
🔸Volatility Threshold Multiplier: Set at 1.2 by default to capture moderately significant movements. Increase for fewer but stronger signals or decrease for more frequent signals.
🔸MACD Settings: Default MACD parameters (12, 26, 9) are suggested. Tweak based on your trading strategy and asset volatility.
🔸MACD Multiplier: Adjust based on how the MACD should visually compare to the average volume. A multiplier of 1 works well for most cases.
🟦 How to Use
🔸Volatile Market Detection:
Look for highlighted candles that suggest a deviation from typical price behavior. These candles often signify an entry point for short-term trades.
🔸Trend Confirmation:
Use the MACD trend analysis to verify if the highlighted volatile candles align with a bullish or bearish trend.
For example, a bullish MACD crossover combined with a highlighted candle suggests a potential uptrend, while a bearish crossover with volatility signals may indicate a downtrend.
🔸Volume-Driven Strategy:
Observe how volume changes impact candle volatility. When volume rises significantly and candles are highlighted, it can suggest strong market moves influenced by big players.
🟦 Best Use Cases
🔸Trend Reversals: Detect potential trend reversals early by spotting divergences between price and MACD within volatile conditions.
🔸Breakout Strategies: Use the indicator to confirm price breakouts with significant volume changes.
🔸Scalping or Day Trading: Customize the indicator for shorter timeframes to capture rapid market movements based on volatility spikes.
🔸Swing Trading: Combine volatility and trend insights to optimize entry and exit points over longer periods.
🟦 Customization Options
🔸Volume-Based Inputs: Choose from SMA, EMA, WMA, and more to define how average volume is calculated.
🔸Threshold Adjustments: Modify the volatility threshold multiplier to increase or decrease sensitivity based on your trading style.
🔸MACD Tuning: Adjust MACD settings and the multiplier for trend visualization tailored to different asset classes and market conditions.
🟦 Indicator Alerts
🔸High Volatility Alerts: Automatically triggered when candles exceed user-defined volatility levels.

Author: NellyN
Introduction
This indicator helps identify potential bullish and bearish trends in the market by analyzing buying and selling volume over two configurable timeframes. It calculates the percentage of buying and selling volume and displays the current market condition based on two moving averages for 2 periods.
Key Features
• Volume Analysis : Calculates Buy and Sell Volume for two configurable timeframes (e.g., 5 min, 15 min, 15 min. and 1 hour, etc.) and displays them as percentages.
• Moving Averages : Uses one Moving Average (MA) for two different time periods to identify trends (uptrend when shorter-term MA is above longer-term MA). You can also choose other Moving Average types like SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, VWMA, or HMA.
• Colored Candles : Candles are colored green for bullish conditions, red for bearish conditions, and gray for neutral conditions.
• Market Condition Labels : Displays labels in table-view indicating the current market condition based on Buy and Sell Volume (Very Bullish, Very Bearish, Bullish/Bearish Retracement, Chop).
• Alerts: Generates alerts for potential buy and sell signals based on indicator conditions (Note: Enable alerts in the indicator settings).
• Visual Signals: Provides visual signals through colored candles and market condition labels in addition to alerts.
Input Parameters
• Source: Close price (default) or Heikin Ashi
• Timeframe: Select the timeframe for price and volume data used in the indicator (e.g., Daily, Hourly).
• Colored Candles On: Enable (True) or disable (False) coloring candles based on market conditions.
• Enable Alerts: Enable (True) or disable (False) alerts for buy/sell signals.
• Length of MA: Sets the length for the MAs used in trend identification (minimum 1).
• Lookback Period Vol. 1 & 2: Define the timeframes used to calculate buying and selling volume and the MA calculation (e.g., 5 min, 15 min).
Understanding the Outputs
• Cloud Fill: The area between two MAs is filled with a color that reflects the trend (green for uptrend, red for downtrend).
• Table: Shows Buy Volume, Sell Volume, Buy Percentage, Sell Percentage, and the current Market Condition Labels. (If you decide to see them uncomment them from the code simply removing the // in front of the code)
• Colored Candles and Market Condition Labels: Look for green candles and bullish labels for potential buying opportunities, and vice versa for red candles and bearish labels.
Bullish green label appears when short-term MA is above long-term MA AND Buy Volume percentage is greater than 50%.
Red cross for exiting long entry appears when we have bearish volume OR bearish crossover of the MA for the 2 periods.
Bearish red label appears when short-term MA is below long-term MA AND Buy Volume percentage is less than 50%.
Green cross for exiting short entry appears when we have bullish volume OR bullish crossover of the MA for the 2 periods.
• Bullish/Bearish Retracement: The moving averages indicate a potential trend reversal, while the Buy Volume percentage suggests a continuation of the prior trend. The candle color may be green, red, or gray depending on the current price position relative to the moving averages.
• Chop (Gray Candle): The moving averages are flat and the Buy Volume percentage is not significantly above or below 50%.
• Buy/Sell Alerts: The indicator generates alerts based on specific conditions, but these should be used in conjunction with other trading strategies and careful risk management.

Volatility-Driven Trend Reversal (VTR) IndicatorThe Volatility-Driven Trend Reversal (VTR) Indicator is a sophisticated Pine Script trading tool designed to provide clear, non-repainting buy and sell signals based on a combination of trend-following, volatility-based, and momentum analysis. It utilizes Exponential Moving Average (EMA) for trend direction, Average True Range (ATR) for dynamic volatility bands, and Relative Strength Index (RSI) for momentum filtering. The VTR Indicator is built to operate effectively on all market pairs, including cryptocurrency, stocks, and forex, providing traders with reliable, actionable signals for both trend continuation and reversal strategies.
This indicator is tailored to reduce noise and avoid over-signaling by filtering out minor fluctuations. With its unique volatility-based ATR bands, the VTR Indicator excels in volatile environments, such as cryptocurrency markets, and helps traders capture significant price movements while managing risk effectively.
Key Features
Trend Confirmation (EMA):
The indicator relies on the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to define the market's primary trend direction. A rising EMA suggests an uptrend, while a falling EMA indicates a downtrend.
Volatility-Based ATR Bands:
ATR (Average True Range) is used to calculate dynamic support and resistance levels based on market volatility. The upper and lower bands represent potential overbought and oversold zones, ensuring that price action aligns with the overall market volatility.
These bands are adaptive to price fluctuations, making them a powerful tool for detecting volatility shifts in real-time.
Momentum Filter (RSI):
The 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) is applied to ensure that buy signals only appear when the market is showing upward momentum (RSI above 50) and sell signals when there is downward momentum (RSI below 50).
This filtering mechanism helps avoid false signals during periods of consolidation or ranging markets, improving the signal's overall accuracy.
Non-Repainting Logic:
The buy and sell signals generated by the VTR Indicator are persistent and will not repaint after the bar closes. Once a signal is confirmed, it stays active until an opposite condition triggers a new signal.
This is achieved using a persistent signalState variable, which tracks the current market trend and prevents premature or false signals.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels:
The indicator automatically generates Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels based on the ATR multiplier to assist with trade risk management.
These levels are dynamically calculated as a multiple of the ATR value, helping traders manage potential volatility and exit at strategic points.
Multi-Market Compatibility:
The VTR Indicator is suitable for all market pairs (cryptocurrencies, stocks, forex, indices), allowing traders to apply it across various timeframes and asset classes without losing performance reliability.
Alert System:
Built-in alert conditions notify traders of Buy and Sell signals, ensuring they don’t miss any potential trading opportunities.
Signal Logic & Interpretation
Buy Signal (Long Entry):
Condition 1: The price closes above the upper ATR band, suggesting potential upward price movement.
Condition 2: The RSI is above 50, confirming bullish momentum.
Buy Signal Confirmation: The buy signal is generated when both conditions are met and there is no prior active buy signal.
Sell Signal (Short Entry):
Condition 1: The price closes below the lower ATR band, suggesting potential downward price movement.
Condition 2: The RSI is below 50, confirming bearish momentum.
Sell Signal Confirmation: The sell signal is generated when both conditions are met and there is no prior active sell signal.
No Repainting:
Once a buy or sell signal is confirmed, it will not be altered, erased, or replaced by future bars. This ensures that the trader can trust the signal once it appears, knowing it will not change as the market moves.
Exit Points:
Take Profit: When a long position is active, the TP level is calculated as a multiple of the ATR above the entry price.
Stop Loss: When a long position is active, the SL level is calculated as a multiple of the ATR below the entry price.
For short positions, these levels are reversed: TP is below the entry price, and SL is above the entry price.
Trading Strategy:
Entry:
Enter a long position when the buy signal is generated, confirmed by the price crossing the upper ATR band and the RSI being above 50.
Enter a short position when the sell signal is generated, confirmed by the price crossing the lower ATR band and the RSI being below 50.
Exit:
For long positions, exit when the price reaches the Take Profit (TP) level or hits the Stop Loss (SL) level.
For short positions, exit when the price reaches the Take Profit (TP) level or hits the Stop Loss (SL) level.
Risk Management:
Use the ATR-based Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels to manage risk dynamically.
Always ensure your stop-loss levels are within your risk tolerance for each trade.
Unique Aspects:
Adaptability: The VTR Indicator adapts to changing market conditions, making it suitable for high volatility environments like cryptocurrency trading.
Non-Repainting: Once a signal is generated, it remains valid and doesn't change with new bars, ensuring a reliable trading strategy.
Built-in Risk Management: Automatic dynamic SL and TP levels allow for strategic trade exits, enhancing trade management.
Example Scenario
Scenario 1 (Bullish Trend):
The price is above the upper ATR band, and the RSI is above 50, signaling a strong bullish trend. The buy signal is triggered, and the price continues to rise, hitting the take-profit target based on ATR levels.
Exit: The price reaches the TP level or hits the SL level, and the position is closed.
Scenario 2 (Bearish Trend):
The price is below the lower ATR band, and the RSI is below 50, signaling a strong bearish trend. A sell signal is generated, and the price continues to decline, hitting the take-profit target.
Exit: The price reaches the TP level or hits the SL level, and the short position is closed.
Supply and Demand [tambangEA]Supply and Demand Indicator Overview
The Supply and Demand indicator on TradingView is a technical tool designed to help traders identify areas of significant buying and selling pressure in the market. By identifying zones where price is likely to react, it helps traders pinpoint key support and resistance levels based on the concepts of supply and demand. This indicator plots zones using four distinct types of market structures:
1. Rally-Base-Rally (RBR) : This structure represents a bullish continuation zone. It occurs when the price rallies (increases), forms a base (consolidates), and then rallies again. The base represents a period where buying interest builds up before the continuation of the upward movement. This zone can act as support, where buyers may step back in if the price revisits the area.
2. Drop-Base-Rally (DBR) : This structure marks a bullish reversal zone. It forms when the price drops, creates a base, and then rallies. The base indicates a potential exhaustion of selling pressure and a build-up of buying interest. When price revisits this zone, it may act as support, signaling a buying opportunity.
3. Rally-Base-Drop (RBD) : This structure signifies a bearish reversal zone. Here, the price rallies, consolidates into a base, and then drops. The base indicates a temporary balance before sellers overpower buyers. If price returns to this zone, it may act as resistance, with selling interest potentially re-emerging.
4. Drop-Base-Drop (DBD) : This structure is a bearish continuation zone. It occurs when the price drops, forms a base, and then continues dropping. This base reflects a pause before further downward movement. The zone may act as resistance, with sellers possibly stepping back in if the price revisits the area.
Features of Supply and Demand Indicator
Automatic Zone Detection : The indicator automatically identifies and plots RBR, DBR, RBD, and DBD zones on the chart, making it easier to see potential supply and demand areas.
Customizable Settings : Users can typically adjust the color and transparency of the zones, time frames for analysis, and zone persistence to suit different trading styles.
Visual Alerts : Many versions include alert functionalities, notifying users when price approaches a plotted supply or demand zone.
How to Use Supply and Demand in Trading
Identify High-Probability Reversal Zones : Look for DBR and RBD zones to identify potential areas where price may reverse direction.
Trade Continuations with RBR and DBD Zones : These zones can indicate strong trends, suggesting that price may continue in the same direction.
Combine with Other Indicators: Use it alongside trend indicators, volume analysis, or price action strategies to confirm potential trade entries and exits.
This indicator is particularly useful for swing and day traders who rely on price reaction zones for entering and exiting trades.
Chaikin's Money FlowOverview : Chaikin's Money Flow (CMF) is a momentum indicator that measures the buying and selling pressure of a financial instrument over a specified period. By incorporating both price and volume, CMF provides a comprehensive view of market sentiment, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and confirm the strength of existing trends.
Key Features:
Volume-Weighted : Unlike price-only indicators, CMF accounts for trading volume, offering deeper insights into the forces driving price movements.
Oscillatory Nature : CMF oscillates between positive and negative values, typically ranging from -100 to +100, indicating the balance between buying and selling pressure.
Trend Confirmation : Positive CMF values suggest accumulating buying pressure, while negative values indicate distributing selling pressure. This aids in confirming the direction and strength of trends.
Calculation Details :
Intraday Intensity (II) = 100 × (2×Close−High−Low) / (High−Low) × Volume
Condition: If High=Low, II is set to 0 to prevent division by zero.
II_smoothed = SMA(II, lookback)
Applies a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to the Intraday Intensity over the defined lookback period to smooth out short-term fluctuations.
Volume Smoothing:
V_smoothed = EMA(Volume, Volume Smoothing Period)
Utilizes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to smooth the volume over the specified smoothing period, giving more weight to recent data.
Money Flow Calculation:
Money Flow = II_smoothed / V_smoothed
Condition: If Vsmoothed=0Vsmoothed=0, Money Flow is set to 0 to avoid division by zero.
Usage Instructions:
Parameters Configuration:
Lookback Period: Determines the number of periods over which Intraday Intensity is averaged. A higher value results in a smoother indicator, reducing sensitivity to short-term price movements.
Volume Smoothing Period: Defines the period for the EMA applied to Volume. Adjusting this parameter affects the responsiveness of the Money Flow indicator to changes in trading volume.
Interpreting the Indicator:
Positive Values (>0): Indicate buying pressure. The higher the value, the stronger the buying interest.
Negative Values (<0): Signal selling pressure. The lower the value, the more intense the selling activity.
Crossovers: Watch for Money Flow crossing above the zero line as potential buy signals and crossing below as potential sell signals.
Divergence: Identify divergences between Money Flow and price movements to anticipate possible trend reversals.
Complementary Analysis:
Confluence with Other Indicators: Use CMF in conjunction with trend indicators like Moving Averages or oscillators like RSI to enhance signal reliability.
Volume Confirmation: CMF's volume-weighted approach makes it a powerful tool for confirming the validity of price trends and breakouts.
