Volume Buy/Sell Signals [EdgeTerminal]

4月15日

Volume Signals is an indicator based on volume moving averages and divergence to provide different types of information.

The first signal is the peak volume box shown in red or green, showing the volume peak in an uptrend or downtrend. This usually is a sign of reversal or a slowdown in the trend, depending on the direction of the price.

Peak zones assume that a movement has reached your end for the time being or a new movement is initiated. This cannot be verified by simple volume alone, that's why we have a buy/sell signal feature based on divergence.

The narrow box indicates a continuation of the trend but can be used as support or resistance.

Medium box size usually means the price is in an accumulation phase. This can act as both support and resistance, meaning if the price pushes above, a long position can be taken, and if the price drops below, a short position can be taken.

Large box size indicates a range in which the price will stay shortly. This is usually a sign of high volume volatility and depending on the direction, the price can revisit the area and drop back down or go back up fast. For example, if the large green box appears after a major volume peak and if the price goes above the box, there is a major chance that the price will revisit the box zone and will drop as fast as it went up.

The second signal is a buy/sell signal generated based on the volume divergence and volume numbers compared to average volume values. If the volume is showing signs of lower lows or higher highs, the signal will appear. This indicator is great at generating early entry and exit signals.

Additionally, the script can generate LP (lower possibility) buy/sell signals. Usually, the script looks for two moving average lower lows in volume to generate a signal but when this is turned on, the indicator will also show single confirmed (we call them lower possibility) signals. This is useful when there are not enough signals generated on screen and you want to see more data points.

The settings:
Volume Peak MA: Sets the moving average of the volume peak,
Volume Peak Box Length: Defines the box display length of the volume box across the chart
Volume Box Threshold: Threshold of volume peak detection. A lower number generates more signals and a higher number generates fewer.
First Signal MA Length: First moving average length used in the calculation of the volume signals
Second Signal MA length: Second moving average length used in the calculation of the volume signals
Volume Lookback Right: How many bars to look back on the right side (forward) to confirm the signal
Volume Lookback Left: How many bars to look back on the left side (behind) to confirm the signal
Max Lookback Range: Max lookback range for the KNN machine learning volume data of signal generation.
Min Lookback Range: Minimum lookback range for the KNN machine learning volume data of signal generation.
Show Buy Signals: It shows or hides buy signals.
Show LP Buys: It shows or hides lower possibility buy signals.
Show Sell Signals: It shows or hides sell signals.
Show LP Sells: It shows or hides lower possibility sell signals.
