Relative Volume Pro - Realtime Volume Flow
Relative volume compares the volume at a specific time in the trading day versus the prior volume at the same time of day over a specified range. This is an ideal way to gauge if there is significant volume driving a price move, either up or down.
What's Unique About this Relative Volume Indicator?
Many relative volume indicators simply divide the current volume by the average volume. Unfortunately, this calculation is not an accurate gauge of volume at a specific point in time and it will not account for typical spikes in volume that occur early and late in the day.
This indicator calculates relative volume on an intraday chart, looking at the volume for each bar in the current timeframe, over a range of days that is configured in Settings. For example, if the preferred lookback is set to 50 and you are on a 5-minute chart at 1:00pm, the indicator will determine the average of cumulative volume traded up to 1:00pm on each 5-minute bar, over the past 50 days. The result is an accurate representation of the "true" volume for a specific time in the day.
Relative Volume as Percentage or Ratio
Relative volume can be shown as a percentage change, a ratio or both. The calculations are the same, it's more about your preference.
For example, if a stock has traded 1M shares at 10:00am, yet the average over the past 50 days at 10:00am is 500k shares, the percentage increase is 100% and the ratio would be 2.0.
Intraday Charts
To accurately determine volume at a specific point during the trading day, as compared to the average at that same time of day, calculations need to be done on an intraday chart. This is your go-to chart to gauge realtime volume flow.
Daily, Weekly and Monthly Charts
Relative volume data is also shown on daily, weekly and monthly charts, however, it's important to note these values are based on the close of the respective timeframe.

Version 2.0
■ Additional volume data on daily charts, including U/D Volume Ratio and Average Daily Dollar Volume.
■ Customize all colors in the volume dashboard.
In addition to the realtime relative volume data on an intraday chart, there is a great deal of volume data shown on daily, weekly and monthly charts. For example, when viewing a daily chart, you can also view Up/Down Volume Ratio and Average Daily Dollar Volume.
■ Average Daily Dollar Volume is the average volume of shares traded over the past 50 days multiplied by the price. Stocks with a larger Average Daily Dollar Volume tend to be less volatile and have more liquidity.
A common approach is to set a preferred baseline, say $20M, and focus on stocks above that value. It's important to note, $20M is just a starting point to consider. The take away is that stocks with a lower Average Daily Dollar Volume may have more volatility and are often thinly traded.
■ Up/Down Volume Ratio compares volume on up days to volume on down days over a 50 day range. A value of 1 equates to equal volume on buying and selling.
