RVOL++Overview
RVOL++ is a valuable tool for intraday traders to gauge market participation and anticipate the pace of the market. By understanding the RVOL levels, traders can adjust their strategies and expectations to align with the current market conditions. RVOL is a simple mathematical formula that compares the current volume to a prior lookback period, such as the previous 5 days or previous 10 days. This indicator helps traders understand the level of interest or participation in the market, which in turn can indicate the speed or pace of the market.
How to calculate RVOL at Time
Check if the current time is within the specified time period (e.g., 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM EST).
If it is, calculate the current cumulative volume for that period.
Find the average cumulative volume for the same period over the past X days (where X is the lookback period).
Calculate the RVOL at Time as:
RVOL at Time =(Current Cumulative Volume/Average Cumulative Volume)×100
For more info about calculating RVOL at time please refer to the Tradingview article.

Key Features of RVOL++
Two Session and Daily Modes: In Two Session mode, it calculates RVOL for two distinct trading sessions, while in Daily mode, it calculates RVOL for the entire trading day. Two Session mode helps for instruments like futures, forex, crypto that trade 23+ hours. If you are using an instrument such as a stock like AAPL, if you don't have pre-market/extended hours enabled you will want to use "Daily Mode".
Session Time Settings: The indicator allows users to define the trading session times in Eastern Standard Time (EST) for more accurate RVOL calculations.
Customizable Lookback Period: Users can set the number of days for the lookback period, allowing for flexibility in calculating the average volume at time (RVOL).
Color-Coded RVOL Histogram: The indicator displays a color-coded histogram to visualize RVOL levels. Different colors represent different RVOL ranges, making it easy to identify low, neutral, and high RVOL periods.
RVOL Ranges**: The indicator defines RVOL ranges as follows:
40 - 80: Low RVOL (Red/Yellow)
80 - 120: Neutral RVOL (Blue/Cyan)
120+: High RVOL (Green-Lime)
Low RVOL Environment
Expect slow market movement with limited opportunities.
Focus on A+ setups and be selective.
Use tighter stops, size down, and adjust trading goals.
Neutral RVOL Environment
Expect a more normalized trading pace with frequent rotations.
Lean on structure and incorporate other trading tools.
Use normal sizing and stop management.
High RVOL Environment
Expect the best opportunities for range expansion and rotations.
Be more relaxed about overtrading but stay focused on structure.
Start with smaller initial size and build up to a full position.

Volume Profile Segment Difference «NoaTrader»If you use volume profile, then you might have countered wanting to know a segment of the chart's volume profile relative to the whole volume profile. This indicator tries to solve that problem.
When you add it to the chart, first it asks you the start and end point of the segment you want, then it draws the whole chart's volume profile and shows the selected segments relative volume with a different color (blue default).
The default settings are good for a Bitcoin daily chart, so don't forget to change the settings for other symbols and timeframes.
Bar metrics / quantifytools— Overview
Rather than eyeball evaluating bullishness/bearishness in any given bar, bar metrics allow a quantified approach using three basic fundamental data points: relative close, relative volatility and relative volume. These data points are visualized in a discreet data dashboard form, next to all real-time bars. Each value also has a dot in front, representing color coded extremes in the values.
Relative close represents position of bar's close relative to high and low, high of bar being 100% and low of bar being 0%. Relative close indicates strength of bulls/bears in a given bar, the higher the better for bulls, the lower the better for bears. Relative volatility (bar range, high - low) and relative volume are presented in a form of a multiplier, relative to their respective moving averages (SMA 20). A value of 1x indicates volume/volatility being on par with moving average, 2x indicates volume/volatility being twice as much as moving average and so on. Relative volume and volatility can be used for measuring general market participant interest, the "weight of the bar" as it were.
— Features
Users can gauge past bar metrics using lookback via input menu. Past bars, especially recent ones, are helpful for giving context for current bar metrics. Lookback bars are highlighted on the chart using a yellow box and metrics presented on the data dashboard with lookback symbols:
To inspect bar metric data and its implications, users can highlight bars with specified bracket values for each metric:
When bar highlighter is toggled on and desired bar metric values set, alert for the specified combination can be toggled on via alert menu. Note that bar highlighter must be enabled in order for alerts to function.
— Visuals
Bar metric dots are gradient colored the following way:
Relative volatility & volume
0x -> 1x / Neutral (white) -> Light (yellow)
1x -> 1.7x / Light (yellow) -> Medium (orange)
1.7x -> 2.4x / Medium (orange) -> Heavy (red)
Relative close
0% -> 25% / Heavy bearish (red) -> Light bearish (dark red)
25% -> 45% / Light bearish (dark red) -> Neutral (white)
45% - 55% / Neutral (white)
55% -> 75% / Neutral (white) -> Light bullish (dark green)
75% -> 100% / Light bullish (dark green) -> Heavy bullish (green)
All colors can be adjusted via input menu. Label size, label distance from bar (offset) and text format (regular/stealth) can be adjusted via input menu as well:
— Practical guide
As interpretation of bar metrics is highly contextual, it is especially important to use other means in conjunction with the metrics. Levels, oscillators, moving averages, whatever you have found useful for your process. In short, relative close indicates directional bias and relative volume/volatility indicates "weight" of directional bias.
General interpretation
High relative close, low relative volume/volatility = mildly bullish, bias up/consolidation
High relative close, medium relative volume/volatility = bullish, bias up
High relative close, high relative volume/volatility = exuberantly bullish, bias up/down depending on context
Medium relative close, low relative volume/volatility = noise, no bias
Medium relative close, medium to high relative volume/volatility = indecision, further evidence needed to evaluate bias
Low relative close, low relative volume/volatility = mildly bearish, bias down/consolidation
Low relative close, medium relative volume/volatility = bearish, bias down
Low relative close, high relative volume/volatility = exuberantly bearish, bias down/up depending on context
Nuances & considerations
As to relative close, it's important to note that each bar is a trading range when viewed on a lower timeframe, ES 1W vs. ES 4H:
When relative close is high, bulls were able to push price to range high by the time of close. When relative close is low, bears were able to push price to range low by the time of close. In other words, bulls/bears were able to gain the upper hand over a given trading range, hinting strength for the side that made the final push. When relative close is around middle range (40-60%), it can be said neither side is clearly dominating the range, hinting neutral/indecision bias from a relative close perspective.
As to relative volume/volatility, low values (less than ~0.7x) imply bar has low market participant interest and therefore is likely insignificant, as it is "lacking weight". Values close to or above 1x imply meaningful market participant interest, whereas values well above 1x (greater than ~1.3x) imply exuberance. This exuberance can manifest as initiation (beginning of a trend) or as exhaustion (end of a trend):

RedK Bar Strength Inspector / Bar Strength Index (BSI)Summary
=========
The Bar Strength Inspector / Bar Strength Index (BSI) is an indicator that evaluates each price bar against a user-selectable set of "strength categories" - BSI then calculates a combined score from these categories and provides an index - plotted as a centered oscillator - roughly similar to the way Relative Strength Index (RSI) works, which can be used to evaluate the strength of price move and the possibilities of trend continuation or reversal.
Background
=============
BSI is like a Swiss-army knife with many components - so apologies upfront if this guide gets long - and i know i will still miss few pieces that needs explaining. please alert me if something is not clear.
BSI is an advanced / re-built version of my Ultimate Trader Oscillator (UTO)
I continue to believe that one of the best trading tools that i can use, is a tool that can automate the visual inspection of the price chart - a tool that simulates (and quantifies in numbers/score) the way we visually look at a certain price bar, and make a judgement that "this is a strong bar, so I expect the trend down to possibly reverse" - BSI is a an attempt to achieve that. An attempt to answer a simple question (in a quantifiable manner):
how strong / weak is this price bar - how does it compare to previous bars ? what is the average of that strength (or weakness) for the last few bars ?(based on the trader's preferred timeframe)
How does BSI work
====================
* BSI will inspect and evaluate each bar against various (selectable) strength categories.
* BSI will give a -100/+100 score against each "strength category", then combine these scores into an index and create an average of that index
* the average index (also called BSI) will be calculated for both a short and long lengths
* the short length represents "local / short-term" strength - plotted as a blue/orange line (with an additional signal line to make easier to "read")
* the long-term reflects the broader bias (sentiment) - plotted as green/red area (or mountain)
How is BSI different from UTO
=============================
- I wrote BSI from the ground up to validate each scoring calculation and the resulting outcomes - so i would consider BSI to be more accurate than UTO
- i wrote BSI in a way to make it a lot more flexible. BSI allows me to choose which category to include in the "inspection"
- the strength categories are streamlined to reflect single bar strength, strength from bar-to-bar, and relative strength (range and volume) - they have also been chosen in a way that map to commonly used Technical Analysis concepts, to increase the value of BSI and the ability to compare with other common indicators (for example, BoP, Stochastic, Relative Volume and RSI)
- added the table view - which i use mainly to track the action within the current bar - and to learn more about how to evaluate strength vs weakness with various chart patterns
- UTO still represents the foundation of this work - but i will not update UTO any longer so all changes will be applied to the BSI- i have been using both UTO and BSI to guide my trading for the past few months.
- couple of other features in BSI:
- support for instruments with no volume data (even if the user chooses volume) - number of inspection categories will show as "7" in that case
- ability to plot the individual category scores, and the total weighted score (for the selected categories) - these plots are hidden by default
- ability to see the total score for all 8 (or 7 in case no volume data) categories regardless of how many are active - but only in the table view
- ability to be used as both a lower (independent) and a top indicator (on the price chart) -- see below examples.
Structure of the BSI Strength Categories
=====================================
The first 3 inspected strength categories focus on "single bar strength", they evaluate how the bar closes compared to the low, the Balance of Power (BoP) and the relative BoP
The next 3 categories focus on evaluating the bar-to-bar strength: how the bar closes compared to the low of the 2-bar range, how the bar closes compared to prior close - and the relative "shift"
The last 2 "strength" categories evaluate the relative range of bar compared to recent average range and the relative volume.
Understanding the bar inspection & scoring approach
==================================
During inspection for each category, a score is calculated with a value between 0 to 100, then it will be made "directional" - which means that +100 represents highest possible strength score and a value of -100 is the highest possible "weakness" score
Note that a 0 score doesn't mean "weak" - but rather "neutral" - this can be a bit confusing until we get used to the way BSI scoring works.
Example: in relative volume, a bar associated with the lowest volume observed during the lookback length, will have a 0 relative volume score -- while a bar associated with the highest volume observed will have either a +100 or a -100 score (depending on whether it's an up or down bar) - same thing for relative range.. and so on
Here are the 8 strength categories evaluated by the BSI
1 Bar closing score
2 Body : Spread (BoP) ratio
3 Relative BoP
4 2-bar Closing Score
5 2-bar Shift Ratio (Shift : 2R)
6 Relative Shift
7 Relative Range
8 Relative Volume
Specific meaning of keywords / concepts (within BSI context):
======================================================
Relative : compared to recently observed values (= within Lookback # bars)
Shift : the change in closing value vs prior bar
Bar Spread : high - low
Range : True Range ..... as in the tr() Pine function, so not to be confused with "spread"
More detailed notes about scoring and calculations for each strength category are included within the code
BSI Settings:
=============
Here is a chart showing the main sections in the BSI Settings box and how to configure it to your preference
Using the BSI:
================
- I use BSI for 2 main scenarios
(1) Guiding my Day-to-day trading: the usage here is roughly similar to a volume-weighted dual-period RSI .. with a lot more options - picking and choosing between the 8 strength categories in BSI allows for 255 variations of "strength evaluations" - a trader can choose to focus only on "single bar strength" score categories, so only picks the top 3 in the settings - another trader wants to track only the strength reflected by the relative range and relative volume, so picks the lower 2 categories. another trader wants to use BSI as a volume weighted Balance of Power.. and so on. Many combinations are possible.
i have added couple of charts that explain some of the "signals" we can expect from BSI (below chart) - note that i use the "Green/Red mountain plot" as the "prevailing sentiment" - as it confirms the longer term strength (or weakness). the BSI line plot reflects the short term strength and not necessarily tied directly to how the price is moving (see example in the chart - and also compare to how RSI works)
- 2 important points here if you plan to use BSI in trading: set BSI up on a 1-min or 5-min chart and watch how it works to learn how it evaluates each bar - and always use BSI in combination with other indicators that you are familiar with to validate and confirm any signals
(Important note: do not react to the values in the table as they change in real time - i found that to be very tempting - rather look at the broader context and the flow of the BSI / sentiment) - you can also test BSI with Paper Trading in TV - it's like a new car that you need some time to get used to :)
(2) Use BSI to help learn chart / pattern analysis - watch BSI print scores against the various categories in real time to hone your chart (pattern) reading skills and how to evaluate strength of various bar shapes - for example, a bar that closes at the high but does not reach the mid point of the prior bar - strong or weak ? how about a doji or a hammer ? ...etc
Chart showing main usage scenarios

These scores combine to classify markets into five regimes:
• TRENDING - Strong directional movement with aligned indicators
• RANGING - Sideways movement with mixed directional signals
• VOLATILE - Elevated volatility with unpredictable price swings
• QUIET - Low volatility consolidation periods
• TRANSITIONAL - Market shifting between different regimes
2. Market Structure Analysis
Advanced pivot point analysis identifies:
• Higher Highs and Higher Lows for bullish structure
• Lower Highs and Lower Lows for bearish structure
• Structure breaks when established patterns fail
• Dynamic support and resistance from recent pivot points
• Key level proximity detection using ATR-based buffers
3. Volume Flow Decoding
Institutional activity detection through:
• Volume surge identification when volume exceeds 2x average
• Buy versus sell pressure analysis using price-volume correlation
• Flow strength measurement through directional volume consistency
• Divergence detection between volume and price movements
• Institutional threshold alerts when unusual volume patterns emerge
4. Multi-Period Momentum Synthesis
Weighted momentum calculation across four timeframes:
• 1-period momentum weighted at 40%
• 3-period momentum weighted at 30%
• 5-period momentum weighted at 20%
• 8-period momentum weighted at 10%
Result smoothed with 6-period EMA for noise reduction.
5. Price Action Quality Assessment
Each bar evaluated for:
• Range quality relative to 20-period average
• Body-to-range ratio for directional conviction
• Wick analysis for rejection pattern identification
• Pattern recognition including engulfing and hammer formations
• Sequential price movement analysis
6. Adaptive Parameter System
Parameters automatically adjust based on detected regime:
• Trending markets reduce sensitivity and confirmation requirements
• Volatile markets increase filtering and require additional confirmations
• Ranging markets maintain neutral settings

- BullByte
PCCE + False Breakout DetectorPCCE + False Breakout Detector
Type: Invite‑Only Indicator (closed source)
Purpose: Identify volatility compression (“coil”) and the first expansion after it, while filtering failed breakouts (bull/bear traps).
What it does — in plain language
This tool unifies two complementary behaviours that often appear back‑to‑back around strong moves:
1. Price Coil Compression & Expansion (PCCE) – finds compact ranges created by shrinking candle bodies, wick dominance, and contracting range relative to recent history. When price expands out of that coil with strength, it prints a Burst↑ / Burst↓ label.
2. False Breakout Detection – monitors recent swing extremes. If price closes beyond a prior high/low but re‑enters that range within a short window, it marks a trap (❌ red for failed bullish breakout, ❌ green for failed bearish breakout).
Why combine them?
PCCE tells you where the next move is likely brewing; the trap filter validates whether the breakout is genuine or failing. Used together they turn raw breakouts into structured, risk‑aware opportunities.
How it works — concepts behind the calculations
1) Detecting “Coil” (compression)
• Body contraction: Count of consecutive bars where |close-open| is decreasing within a sliding window.
• Wick dominance: Average (upper wick + lower wick) / body must exceed a threshold → indecision/liquidity probing.
• Relative range: Current high‑low over the window must be smaller than the average of prior windows (tight market).
• Coil zone: When the above conditions align, the most recent high/low envelope defines the coil’s bounds.
2) Confirming “Burst” (expansion)
A breakout through the coil high/low is only labelled when:
• Body thrust: current body > moving‑average body × multiplier (large real body).
• Relative volume: volume > moving‑average volume × multiplier (participation filter).
• Trend alignment (optional): close vs EMA to avoid counter‑trend bursts.
• Cooldown: minimum bars between signals to reduce clustering.
Result: Burst↑ if closing beyond coil high with thrust; Burst↓ if closing beyond coil low with thrust.
3) Flagging failed breakouts (traps)
• Track recent swing high/low from a lookback excluding the current bar.
• If a bar closes beyond that swing but within N bars price closes back inside the swing range → flag a trap:
• Bull trap: ❌ red above bar (break above failed)
• Bear trap: ❌ green below bar (break below failed)
⸻
What you see on the chart
• Coil zone: a shaded box (tight range envelope).
• Burst labels: Burst↑ (triangle up) and Burst↓ (triangle down) at confirmed expansion bars.
• Trap markers: ❌ red (failed bullish breakout), ❌ green (failed bearish breakout).
• Alerts: “Burst Up”, “Burst Down” (fires on bar close only).
⸻
How to use it
1. Preparation : When a coil box forms, mark the zone and wait.
2. Trigger : A Burst label confirms the first expansion with thrust/volume; treat it as an entry cue only within your own plan.
3. Validation : If a ❌ trap appears shortly after a break, treat it as caution/exit info; the breakout is failing.
4. Context : Best on 15m–4H. Combine with higher‑timeframe bias, nearby S/R, and risk controls.
5. Parameters to tune :
• Coil window, wick‑to‑body threshold, and range tightness
• Body/volume multipliers
• EMA trend filter on/off
• Trap lookback and confirmation bars
• Cooldown bars
⸻
Originality & usefulness
• Behaviour‑first compression scoring: Coil detection blends monotonic body shrink, wick dominance, and relative range contraction—not generic bands or a single oscillator.
• Two‑stage discipline: A burst is not just any break; it requires body thrust + relative volume (+ optional trend) to reduce noise.
• Immediate invalidation layer: The trap filter is evaluated right after the burst context, turning breakouts into risk‑aware signals rather than blind entries.
• Operator controls: Cooldown + multipliers let traders adapt the strictness to instrument/session behaviour.
⸻
Repainting & limitations
• Signals are evaluated on bar close; no lookahead, no request.security() with lookahead_on.
• Coil boxes while forming can update until confirmed; Burst/Trap labels do not repaint after their bar closes.
• News spikes and illiquid hours can still create noise; adjust multipliers and cooldown for your market.

Market Matrix ViewThis technical indicator is designed to provide traders with a quick and integrated view of market dynamics by combining several popular indicators into a single tool. It's not a magic bullet, but a practical aid for analyzing buying/selling pressure, trends, volume, and divergences, saving you time in the decision-making process. Built for flexibility, the indicator adapts to various trading styles (scalping, swing, or long-term) and offers customizable settings to suit your needs.
🟡 Multi-Timeframe Trends
➤ This section displays the trend direction (bullish, bearish, or neutral) across 15-minute, 1-hour, 4-hour, and Daily timeframes, providing multi-timeframe market context. Timeframes lower than the one currently selected will show "N/A."
➤It utilizes fast and slow Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) for each timeframe:
15m: Fast EMA 42, Slow EMA 170
1h: Fast EMA 40, Slow EMA 100
4h: Fast EMA 36, Slow EMA 107
Daily: Fast EMA 20, Slow EMA 60
🟡 Smart Flow & RVOL
➤ This section displays "Buying Pressure" or "Selling Pressure" signals based on indicator confluence, alongside volume activity ("High Activity," "Normal Activity," or "Low Activity").
➤ Smart Flow combines Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and Money Flow Index (MFI) to detect buying/selling pressure. CMF measures money flow based on price position within the high-low range, while MFI analyzes money flow considering typical price and volume. A signal is generated only when both indicators simultaneously increase/decrease beyond an adjustable threshold ("Buy/Sell Sensitivity") and volume exceeds a Simple Moving Average (SMA) scaled by the "Volume Multiplier."
➤ RVOL (Relative Volume) calculates relative volume separately for bullish and bearish candles, comparing recent volume (fast SMA) with a reference volume (slow SMA). Thresholds are adjusted based on the selected mode.
🟡 ADX & RSI
This section displays trend strength ("Strong," "Moderate," or "Weak"), its direction ("Bullish" or "Bearish"), and the RSI momentum status ("Overbought," "Oversold," "Buy/Sell Momentum," or "Neutral").
➤ ADX (Average Directional Index) measures trend strength (above 40 = "Strong," 20–40 = "Moderate," below 20 = "Weak"). Direction is determined by comparing +DI (upward movement) with -DI (downward movement). Additionally, an arrow indicates whether the trend's strength is decreasing or increasing.
➤RSI (Relative Strength Index) evaluates price momentum. Extreme levels (above 80/85 = "Overbought," below 15/20 = "Oversold") and intermediate zones (47–53 = "Neutral," above 53 = "Buy Momentum," below 47 = "Sell Momentum") are adjusted based on the selected mode.
🟡 When these signals are active for a potential trade setup, the table's background lights up green or red, respectively.
🟡 Volume Spikes
➤This feature highlights bars with significantly higher volume than the recent average, coloring them yellow on the chart to draw attention to intense market activity.
➤It uses the Z-Score method to detect volume anomalies. Current volume is compared to a 10-bar Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the standard deviation of volume over the same period. If the Z-Score exceeds a certain threshold, the bar is marked as a volume spike.
🟡 Divergences (Volume Divergence Detection)
➤ This feature marks divergences between price and technical indicators on the chart, using diamond-shaped labels (green for bullish divergences, red for bearish divergences) to signal potential trend reversals.
➤ It compares price deviations from a Simple Moving Average (SMA) with deviations of three indicators: Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), Money Flow Index (MFI), and On-Balance Volume (OBV). A bullish divergence occurs when price falls below its average, but CMF, MFI, and OBV rise above their averages, indicating hidden accumulation. A bearish divergence occurs when price rises above its average, but CMF, MFI, and OBV fall, suggesting distribution. The length of the moving averages is adjustable (default 13/10/5 bars for Scalping/Balanced/Swing), and detection thresholds are scaled by "Divergence Sensitivity" (default 1.0).
🟡 Adaptive Stop-Loss (ATR)
➤Draws dynamic stop-loss lines (red, dashed) on the chart for buy or sell signals, helping traders manage risk.Uses the Average True Range (ATR) to calculate stop-loss levels, set at low/high ± ATR × multiplier
🟡 Alerts for trend direction changes in the Info Panel:
➤ Triggers notifications when the trend shifts to Bullish (when +DI crosses above -DI) or Bearish (when +DI crosses below -DI), helping you stay informed about key market shifts.
How to use: Set alerts in Trading View for “Trend Changed to Bullish” or “Trend Changed to Bearish” with “Once Per Bar Close” for reliable signals.
🟡 Settings (Inputs)
➤ The indicator offers customizable settings to fit your trading style, but it's already optimized for Scalping (1m–15m), Balanced (16m–3h59m), and Swing (4h–Daily) modes, which automatically adjust based on the selected timeframe. The visible inputs allow you to adjust the following parameters:
Show Info Panel: Enables/disables the information panel (default: enabled).
Show Volume Spikes: Turns on/off coloring for volume spike bars (default: enabled).
Spike Sensitivity: Controls the Z-Score threshold for detecting volume spikes (default: 2.0; lower values increase signal frequency).
Show Divergence: Enables/disables the display of divergence labels (default: enabled).
Divergence Sensitivity: Adjusts the thresholds for divergence detection (default: 1.0; higher values reduce sensitivity).
Divergence Lookback Length: Sets the length of the moving averages used for divergences (default: 5, automatically adjusted to 13/10/5 for Scalping/Balanced/Swing).
RVOL Reference Period: Defines the reference period for relative volume (default: 20, automatically adjusted to 7/15/20).
RSI Length: Sets the RSI length (default: 14, automatically adjusted to 5/10/14).
Buy Sensitivity: Controls the increase threshold for Buying Pressure signals (default: 0.007; higher values reduce frequency).
Sell Sensitivity: Controls the decrease threshold for Selling Pressure signals (default: 0.007; higher values reduce frequency).
Volume Multiplier (B/S Pressure): Adjusts the volume threshold for Smart Flow signals (default: 0.6; higher values require greater volume).
🟡 This indicator is created to simplify market analysis, but I am not a professional in Pine Script or technical indicators. This indicator is not a standalone solution. For optimal results, it must be integrated into a well-defined trading strategy that includes risk management and other confirmations.
Lemon/Lime Volume Lookback IndicatorThe indicator focuses on analyzing volume patterns.
It calculates a relative volume metric by comparing the current volume to a short-term simple moving average of volume.
The code identifies volume spikes when the relative volume exceeds a user-defined threshold.
These volume spikes are visually represented on the chart as small circles:
Yellow circles appear above bars for bearish volume spikes (when price closed lower)
Green circles appear below bars for bullish volume spikes (when price closed higher)
Users can adjust settings such as the lookback period for volume comparison and the percentage increase that defines a volume spike. This would adjust the readings based on incoming volume. Adjust as needed during different market conditions.
This tool essentially helps traders identify and visualize significant increases in trading volume compared to recent average volume, which could potentially signal important price movements or trend changes.
1. [Pufferman] - Comprehensive VolumeThis indicator presents a comprehensive approach to volume analysis, incorporating several key metrics to provide traders with a detailed view of market activity. Here's what's included:
1. Cumulative Relative Volume (Intraday): This metric accumulates volume data throughout the day, comparing it to historical session averages up to the current time. It's particularly useful for intraday analysis to determine if the stock is trading high or low volume before the day is over.
2. Real Relative Volume - This feature calculates the relative volume of a stock in comparison to the SPY, offering insight into whether a stock is trading with higher relative volume than the broader market.
3. Configurable Moving Average for Volume: Users can adjust the moving average period for average volume, allowing for flexible adaptation to different trading strategies and time frames. (green line in photo)
4. Above/Below Average Line: This line indicates whether the current volume bar exceeds or falls short of the session's average volume, providing immediate context for volume analysis. (red line in photo).
5. Volume Display in Abbreviations: Actual volume figures are presented in an abbreviated format, using "K" for thousands and "M" for millions, facilitating quick and easy analysis.
6. Color-Coded Relative and Real Relative Volume: Both the Relative Volume (RVOL) and Real Relative Volume (RRVOL) are color-coded to instantly convey volume concentration levels, enhancing visual analysis across multiple charts.
7. Volume Bars with Bullish and Bearish Highlights: Traditional volume bars are color-highlighted according to corresponding candle patterns, aiding in the identification of market sentiment.
Key Points:
The RVOL is a cumulative metric, considering time-of-day volume comparisons for intraday analysis. This approach offers a nuanced understanding of volume patterns specific to the timeframe being viewed.
The RRVOL provides a comparative analysis against the market, offering insights into stock-specific volume activity relative to market trends.
Note: This indicator is designed for intraday analysis and may not function as intended on timeframes above daily due to the cumulative nature of its volume calculations.
Price Volume Harmony Indicator [Nasan]The indicator "Price Volume Harmony Indicator " (abbreviated as PVHI) combines relative volume intensity (RVI) and relative price change (PC) to identify potential synergy or divergence between price and volume movements. Let's break down the key components and discuss how to interpret the output:
Relative Volume Intensity (RVI):
It calculates the mean volume intensity using simple moving averages (SMA) of different periods (5, 8, 13, and 144).
It then computes point volume intensity based on the current volume compared to the previous bar's volume.
The final RVI is a combination of mean and point volume intensities.
Relative Price Change (PC):
It calculates the median absolute deviation (MAD) and the price change relative to MAD for three different lengths (5, 8, and 13).
The average relative PC is a weighted combination of the three PC values.
Normalization:
RVI and PC are normalized using Z-scores (standard scores) to bring them to the same scale. This enables easier comparison.
Histogram Plotting:
The RVI and PC are plotted as histograms below the main price chart. Green color bars represent RVI, and blue color bars indicate PC. The RVI bars are light green when the RVI values are decreasing compared to previous bar. Similarly, when PC bars are light blue it indicates that the PC values are decreasing compared to previous bars.
There is a zero line +/- 0.5 SD lines movements above and below the SD lines are practically
significant.
Interpretation :
(1) Strong Bullish Movement :
This is when both the green bars (RVI) and blue bars (PC) increases and are on the same side above zero .
(2) Strong Bearish Movement :
This is when the green bars (RVI) increases and blue bars (PC) decreases. The green bars above zero but blue bars below zero.
(3) Weak Bullish Movement :
This is when the green bars (RVI) decreases and are below zero but the blue bars (PC) increases and are above zero .
(2) Weak Bearish Movement :
This is when both the green bars (RVI) and blue bars (PC) decreases. The green bars and blue bars are below zero.
This output is slightly hard to read but with practice can be read easily.

Purple horizontal line that you see on the chart is nothing but high of the day - Average true range value over a specified period (ATR) line of the stock. I use it for trailing my stop loss once my position is made. My Interpretation is once the stock is moved in your favor, the %change after that which is more than ATR should come in your desired direction or trade is going against me.
Here The average true range (ATR) is a technical analysis indicator introduced by market technician J. Welles Wilder Jr. in his book New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems that measures market volatility by decomposing the entire range of an asset price for that period.
Chart-formations. "J. Welles Wilder, Jr."
The true range indicator is taken as the greatest of the following: current high less the current low; the absolute value of the current high less the previous close; and the absolute value of the current low less the previous close.
Line plotted Logic: high of the day - 20 day ATR.
{Input}
User have option to Show/Hide the line with "Check Mark"
{Style}
Users have the option to change color of the line and also thickness respectively.
1. 4 Moving Averages
Plots 4 moving averages with different periods and colors. MA#1, MA#2, MA#3 and MA#4 are respective moving averages. I use these moving average lines to determine the trend of the stock, that is 10 and 20 period EMA for short term trend and 50 Ema for medium trend and 200 period EMA for long term trend of a ticker.
{Inputs}
Users have the option to choose the type of MA that is between SMA & EMA.
Also have the option to enter a period as their preference.
{Style}
Users have the option to Show/Hide Specific MA with the help of “Check Mark”.
Color of all MA can be changed individually. Also line thickness and transparency.
2. Technical Metrics
MCAP - Market Capitalization
Market capitalization of a ticker in dollar terms. I use this Market Cap to define liquidity means bigger the MCAP more liquid the stock is and also know the size of the company. And also bigger the MCAP usually percentage move of swings in this is less compared to mid & small MCAP stocks.
{Inputs}
Users have the option to Show/Hide the cell from the table with “Check Mark”.
ADT - Average Dollar Turnover
This also helps me determine liquidity and use this while sizing.
For example I want to make a position of 1000$ and stock ADT is 100K $ that means my contribution to stock is 1% of the average dollar turnover. When I am trading, I keep a general rule that my contribution should be less than 0.25% of the average dollar turnover so that getting in and getting out of the stock will not be a problem.
Logic: Average volume over a period of time * Price of the stock
{Inputs}
Users have the option to Show/Hide the cell from the table with “Check Mark”.
Users have the option to enter a period. Default is “20” Days.
RVOL - Relative Volume
This helps in the live market that if RVOL is 10% to 20% or more in the first 30 mins of opening bell then it is interpreted as there is unusual volume activity in this stock, something is cooking. This comes after a lot of observation. When stock moves abruptly it's seen that there will be volume pick in the stock from the start of the day. Therefore Relative percentage volume helps in this way.
Logic: Today's volume with respect to average volume over a specified period in percentage is relative volume.
{Inputs}
Users have the option to Show/Hide the cell from the table with “Check Mark”.
Users have the option to enter a period. Default is “20” Days.
ADR - Average Daily Range
This helps to determine what's the average daily %change over the specified period of time & what %change we can expect from a ticker on a specific day as I am a momentum trader so prefer high ADR stocks. Generally Blue chip stocks have less ADR compared to mid and small cap stocks.
Logic: Calculation is based on High and low of the day that is in percentage over a specified period of days.
{Inputs}
Users have the option to Show/Hide the cell from the table with “Check Mark”.
Users have the option to enter a period. Default is “20” Days.
SLL - Stop Loss Level
This helps me in the live market as per my strategy. I generally keep my stop loss Low of the day so when creating position, I will know what will be the percentage Stop loss and also helps in knowing what is the percentage move from low of the day today. Mind you this does not consider the gap that is yesterday's close for calculation.
Logic: Percentage change from low of the day.
{Inputs}
Users have the option to Show/Hide the cell from the table with “Check Mark”.
{Inputs} Common Settings
Position - Users can change location as per their preference. Default position is “Top Centre”.
Size - Users can change text size as per their preference. Default size is “Auto”.
Display - Users have two options
Text - Shows Complete cell that is Text plus Value
Value - Shows only values in the cell.
3. Industry & Sector
Plots Industry and Sector of a ticker on DTF. This helps me to determine from which industry or sector the stock belongs to at a glance. As there are so many stocks listed we can't categorize to which sector and industry it belongs to just by the name of the company. To have an idea in which domain the company operates.
{Inputs}
“Check Mark” to Show/Hide Industry individually.
“Check Mark” to Show/Hide Sector individually.
Users have the option to change the color of the text plotted and its transparency.
Position - Users can change location as per their preference. Default position is “Bottom Centre”.
Size - Users can change text size as per their preference. Default size is “Auto”.
4. Gap Up & Gap Down Zone
This helps me visually, if a stock is gaping up or down on a daily time frame and I don't want to know every gap in the stock I want to focus on significant gaps so 1% makes sense let it be up or down. When Gap Up color is green and Gap down color is Red.
Logic: Whenever the gap is more than 1% up or down then the background on that specific day is colored lime for gap Up and color fuchsia for gap down down.
{Style}
GapUp & GapDown Zone
Users can Show/Hide this feature using “Check Mark”.
Users have the option to change background color and its transparency individually mind you Color 0 is for GapUp and Color 1 is for GapDown.
5. Big Day - Up & Down
This helps me determine unusual activity of a stock that is Why ADR - Average Daily Range and Volume of a stock is considered. If a stock moves 2 times the ADR which is not usual and also if we see significant change in volume then I believe stock is saying something let it be Upward or downward.
For visually appealing for unusual up move the body of the color is lime and for unusual downward move color is fuchsia.
Logic: On a given specific day if volume is two times the average 20 day period volume and percentage change of the specific day is two times the average daily range percentage that is ADR then those days are considered to be Big Up Day and for Big Down Day vise versa.
{Style}
Big Day - Up & Down
Users can Show/Hide this feature using “Check Mark”.
Users have the option to change color of the body and its transparency individually mind you Color 0 is for Big Up Day and Color 1 is for Big Down Day.
6. VWAP
Plots default VWAP in house indicator only in a lower time frame that is less than DTF. This helps me after making a position in the stock that is 15 Min. TF. Basic idea is that stock should stay above Vwap after entry. As Vwap considers volumes in calculation, in the Lower timeframe we will know if the stock is holding up and moving in desired direction.
{Style}
Users have Option to Show/Hide as per their preference.
Users change the color, thickness and transparency of the line.
Note:
This indicator will never give direct buy sell signals and never should be used in isolation.
M.Right_Relative Volume and PVT (cc)Hello Traders,
I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your holiday!
Today I am releasing a Relative Volume and Price Volume Trend indicator that will help traders assess current price action based on its volume and trend.
Volume is one of the most important aspects of trading that is often overlooked by new traders. Generally, when the volume is higher than normal, something is happening with said equity. Whether that's selling or buying volume it shows importance.
The higher the volume the higher the interest of traders in the equity, so a sudden increase in volume relative to its average volume (relative volume) can cause an increased probability that the price will move.
Relative volume is very self-explanatory , it’s the volume relative to its average. In this indicator, I use several different average calculations to give the trader a clear picture of where the volume stands and added a few different trends using these averages. One is a modified Price Volume Trend.
PVT or Price Volume Trend is a momentum-based indicator that measures money flow in relation to volume. It is usually used to confirm trends, but can be used as a trading signal; as I’ve created some in here. I didn’t added divergences, but using divergences in PVT is another strong way to use it. PVT tends to mirror the market price movements; hence, confirm trends.
You will find this indicator to be jam packed full of features.
-Fully customizable: colors, shapes, lines, on/off toggles for everything.
-Includes:
---Relative Volume Wave.
---Shadow Waves that can help with trend confirmation.
---Vibrant Relative Price Spike in the forefront.
---Additional Volume Trend on bottom of volume bars
---Stat box: showing the Current, Average, and Relative volume on the current user selected timeframe.
---Signals.
---Alerts: prefilled.

Volume x Price in Crores + RVolScript is designed predominantly for Indian users. Many are used to looking at numbers in lakhs and crores vs millions and billions, this provides a volume figure in rupee crores.
Formula is last close_price x volume / 1 cr or (close_price x volume /10000000). The second figure is the simple moving average (default to 20sma ) again in rupee crores. The third is the relative volume - todays volume / 20 day moving average.
Helpful especially when putting on a trade for a thinly traded stock. It is a quick gauge to how large or small one would want to buy or avoid. Helps manage risk. Also, great to see large volumes in crores to gauge institutional buys or sells.
On 10/NOV/21 - In the chart displayed here, Titan volumes are on average quite substantial as one can see. The 20 day moving average is 550 CR+. 10/NOV volumes are shown as 226 CR and the RVOL is 0.41 (226/550).
True BarcolorHeikin Ashi can be useful for understanding trend based on price action but it doesn't take volume in context. Here I have tried to use volume for understanding true bar color and ultimately true trend analysis. It can also help you in not getting trapped in sudden shakeouts. Also, you can use it for averaging of your existing position.
Conditions used:
Relative closing price
Relative volume against previous bar and overall moving average of volume

Freedom of MovementFreedom of Movement Indicator
---------------------------------------------------------
In “Evidence-Based Support & Resistance” article, author Melvin Dickover introduces two new indicators to help traders note support and resistance areas by identifying supply and demand pools. Here you can find the support-resistance technical indicator called "Freedom of Movement".
The indicator takes into account price-volume behavior in order to detect points where movement of price is suddenly restricted, the possible supply and demand pools. These points are also marked by Defended Price Lines (DPLs).
DPLs are horizontal lines that run across the chart at levels defined by following conditions:
* Overlapping bars: If the indicator spike (i.e., indicator is above 2.0 or a custom value) corresponds to a price bar overlapping the previous one, the previous close can be used as the DPL value.
* Very large bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar of a large size, use its close price as the DPL value.
* Gapping bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar gapping from the previous bar, the DPL value will depend on the gap size. Small gaps can be ignored: the author suggests using the previous close as the DPL value. When the gap is big, the close of the latter bar is used instead.
* Clustering spikes: If the indicator spikes come in clusters, use the extreme close or open price of the bar corresponding to the last or next to last spike in cluster.
DPLs can be used as support and resistance levels. In order confirm and refine them, FoM (Freedom of Movement) is used along with the Relative Volume Indicator (RVI), which you can find here:
Clustering spikes provide the strongest DPLs while isolated spikes can be used to confirm and refine those provided by the RVI. Coincidence of spikes of the two indicator can be considered a sign of greater strength of the DPL.

Smart Wick AnalyzerSmart Wick Analyzer (SWA)
Purpose: Highlight potential liquidity‑grab candles (long wicks) and turn them into actionable, rule‑based buy/sell signals with trend, volume, and cooldown filters.
Type: Indicator (not a strategy). Educational tool to contextualize wick events.
🧠 What This Script Does
SWA looks for candles where the wick is large relative to its body—a common signature of liquidity sweeps / rejection. It then adds three confirmations before marking a trade signal:
1. Wick Event
• Upper‑wick event (possible rejection from above)
• Lower‑wick event (possible rejection from below)
• Condition: wick length > body × Wick‑to‑Body Ratio
2. Context Filters
• Trend filter : closing price vs. SMA of lookbackBars
• Volume filter : current volume vs. average volume × volumeThreshold
3. Signal Hygiene
• Cooldown : prevents clustering; a minimum number of bars must pass before a new signal is allowed.
If a candle passes these checks:
• Buy Signal (triangle up): long lower wick + price above SMA + relative‑high volume + cooldown passed
• Sell Signal (triangle down): long upper wick + price below SMA + relative‑high volume + cooldown passed
The signal candle is also bar‑colored black for quick visual focus.
⸻
✳️ What the Dotted Lines Mean (including the green one)
On every signal bar the script draws two dotted horizontal levels, extended to the right:
• Open line of the signal candle
• Close line of the signal candle
• They use the signal color: green for Buy, red for Sell.
How to interpret (example: green = Buy signal):
• The green dotted close line represents the momentum validation level. If subsequent candles close above this line, it indicates follow‑through after the wick rejection (buyers defended into the close).
• The green dotted open line is a risk context / invalidation reference. If price falls back below it soon after the signal, the wick event may have failed or devolved into chop.
In your annotated chart: the candle initially looked constructive (“closing above could be positive momentum”), but later price failed and rotated down—hence a sell signal interpreted when an upper‑wick event occurred under down‑trend conditions.
⸻
⚙️ Inputs & What They Control
• Wick‑to‑Body Ratio (wickThreshold): how “extreme” a wick must be to count as a liquidity‑grab.
• Lookback Period (lookbackBars):
• SMA period for trend context
• Volume MA for relative‑volume check
• Volume Multiplier (volumeThreshold): strengthens/loosens volume confirmation.
• Cooldown Bars (cooldownBars): minimum spacing between consecutive signals.
• Enable Alerts (showAlerts): turns on alert conditions.
⸻
🔔 Alerts (exact titles)
• “SWA Buy Alert” — potential reversal / Buy signal detected
• “SWA Sell Alert” — potential reversal / Sell signal detected
⸻
📌 How to Use (practical guide)
1. Scan for the black‑colored signal candle and its dotted lines.
2. For Buy signals (green): Prefer continuation if price closes above the green close line within the next few bars. Manage risk using the open line or your own level.
3. For Sell signals (red): Prefer continuation if price closes below the red close line.
4. Avoid chasing during low‑volume / counter‑trend signals; the filters help, but structure (HTF trend, S/R, session context) still matters.
5. Use the cooldown to reduce noise on fast time frames.
⸻
✅ Why This Isn’t Just “Another Wick Indicator”
• The script does not flag every long‑wick; it requires trend alignment and relative volume to suggest participation.
• The two reference lines (open/close) provide post‑signal state tracking—a simple, visual framework to judge follow‑through vs. failure without additional tools.
• Cooldown logic discourages clustered, low‑quality repeats around the same zone.
⸻
⚠️ Notes & Limitations
• Works across markets/time frames, but wick behavior varies by instrument and session. Parameters may need adjustment.
• Signals are contextual, not guarantees. Consolidation and news spikes can invalidate wick reads.
• This indicator is not a strategy; it does not backtest performance on its own.

Pristine Volume AnalysisThe Pristine Volume Analysis indicator organizes volume, liquidity, and share structure data, allowing users to quickly gauge the relative volume a security is trading on, and whether it is liquid enough to trade🏆
Volume is an important metric to track when trading, because abnormally high volume tends to occur when a new trend is kicking off, or when an established trend is hitting a climax.
Track only the most important metrics, reducing mental clutter and noise:
▪ Volume run rate - Candle volume/ Avg candle volume
▪ Security liquidity - Average volume and average dollar volume
▪ Float rotation - Candle volume/ Float
This script automatically detects and flags the following conditions on volume bars:
▪ High volume run rate buying/selling based on user-defined thresholds
▪ HVE (highest volume ever) & HVY (highest volume in a year)
▪ High float rotation based on user-defined thresholds
Settings and Preferences
Customize this script based by setting preferred colors and thresholds:
Custom Alerts on HVE and HVY
Set custom alerts on a single equity or an entire watchlist to receive notifications when volume hits HVE or HVY.
Screen for HVE or HVY
Using the Pine Screener, scan watchlists for equities that have reached HVE or HVY.
Note: The Pine Screener is limited to calculations on the last 500 bars. If a symbol has less than 500 bars and has reached HVE, it will be included in the screener results. All symbols with more than 500 historical bars will not be included in the scan.
Volume Analysis Use Case : Confirming a breakout (1/3)
A high volume run rate as a stock breaks out to new highs can confirm a change of character and increase the odds of success on long setups. SMCI put in an HVE candle in January '24, sparking a super-performance run.
1-Month follow-through +137%
SMCI had plenty of gas left in the tank after putting in it's first HVE candle. The rest is history!
Volume Analysis Use Case : Gauging sentiment (2/3)
When a stock advances on repeated high run rate volume and an increasing angle of ascent (parabolic) , it can be a good indication that sentiment is overheated and it is time to reduce exposure to the stock.
Note:25% is the default float rotation threshold. This value can be customized based on your own trading style and preferences.
Following the parabolic ascent on high volume run rate and float rotation, HIMS topped, falling ~67% over the next two months!
Volume Analysis Use Case : Passing on a meme stock (3/3)
High float rotation often goes hand-in-hand with high stock volatility. One might opt out of trading a stock if it is outside their risk tolerance.
Volume & Price Analysis Across SessionsVolume & Price Analysis Across Sessions:
This advanced volume profile-based indicator provides a detailed visualization of market activity by analyzing volume distribution and price behavior across user-defined trading sessions. It dynamically calculates and displays the price level with the highest traded volume —for each user defined session, along with historical POCs, offering valuable insights into price acceptance zones and market sentiment over time.
Benefits:
Volume-Weighted Price Insights: Go beyond simple price action by integrating volume data to identify key levels where market participants are most active.
Multi-Session Context: Analyze volume concentration across multiple sessions to better anticipate support/resistance and potential reversal zones.
Visual Clarity: Intuitive color gradients and line widths make interpreting complex volume data straightforward.
Customizable to Fit Any Trading Style: Adjustable session length and sensitivity make it suitable for day trading, swing trading, or longer-term analysis.
This indicator is ideal for traders looking to integrate volume profile concepts directly on price charts with session-specific granularity, enabling deeper understanding of market structure and more informed trading decisions.
How It Works:
The indicator segments price and volume data into discrete sessions based on the selected timeframe.
Within each session, it bins volumes by price levels and identifies the POC — the price with the highest aggregated volume.
It draws the current session’s POC line on the chart, adjusting its thickness dynamically relative to volume strength using a z-score-based calculation.
Upon session completion, the POC line for that session is preserved on the chart in a gradient color reflecting relative volume magnitude compared to previous sessions.
Users can optionally enable deviation lines to observe volatility or price spread within each session.
The script efficiently manages historical POC lines, deleting the oldest when exceeding the maximum configured number to keep the chart clean.
Key Features:
Session-Based Volume Profile: Defines custom sessions based on a selectable timeframe (default 4 hours) and calculates volume bins within each session to identify where the most trading activity occurred.
Dynamic POC Line: Highlights the current session’s POC with a line whose width adapts based on volume intensity, controlled by a user-adjustable volume sensitivity parameter.
Historical POCs with Volume Gradient: Displays up to 30 previous session POC lines colored with a gradient ranging from low-volume (semi-transparent red) to high-volume (solid green), enabling quick visual identification of significant volume levels over time.
Standard Deviation Lines (Optional): Optionally plots ±1 standard deviation lines around the POC to visualize price dispersion within sessions.
Configurable Parameters: Allows full customization of appearance and sensitivity including POC line colors, maximum line widths, session timeframe, and the maximum number of price bins for volume aggregation.
Default Parameters Used:
Session Timeframe: 240 minutes (4-hour sessions)
POC Line Color: Yellow
Max Historical POCs Displayed : 30
Max POC Line Width: 10 pixels
Volume Sensitivity for POC Width: 2.0 (controls how volume deviations affect line thickness)
Show ±1 Std Dev Lines: Disabled by default
Deviation Line Color: Gray
Max Price Bins: 1000 (limits the number of unique price levels considered per session)
Historical POC Gradient Colors:
Low Volume Start: Red, 60% transparency
High Volume End: Solid Green
Lorentzian Classification - Advanced Trading DashboardLorentzian Classification - Relativistic Market Analysis
A Journey from Theory to Trading Reality
What began as fascination with Einstein's relativity and Lorentzian geometry has evolved into a practical trading tool that bridges theoretical physics and market dynamics. This indicator represents months of wrestling with complex mathematical concepts, debugging intricate algorithms, and transforming abstract theory into actionable trading signals.
The Theoretical Foundation
Lorentzian Distance in Market Space
Traditional Euclidean distance treats all feature differences equally, but markets don't behave uniformly. Lorentzian distance, borrowed from spacetime geometry, provides a more nuanced similarity measure:
d(x,y) = Σ ln(1 + |xi - yi|)
This logarithmic formulation naturally handles:
Scale invariance: Large price moves don't overwhelm small but significant patterns
Outlier robustness: Extreme values are dampened rather than dominating
Non-linear relationships: Captures market behavior better than linear metrics
K-Nearest Neighbors with Relativistic Weighting
The algorithm searches historical market states for patterns similar to current conditions. Each neighbor receives weight inversely proportional to its Lorentzian distance:
w = 1 / (1 + distance)
This creates a "gravitational" effect where closer patterns have stronger influence on predictions.
The Implementation Challenge
Creating meaningful market features required extensive experimentation:
Price Features: Multi-timeframe momentum (1, 2, 3, 5, 8 bar lookbacks) Volume Features: Relative volume analysis against 20-period average
Volatility Features: ATR and Bollinger Band width normalization Momentum Features: RSI deviation from neutral and MACD/price ratio
Each feature undergoes min-max normalization to ensure equal weighting in distance calculations.
The Prediction Mechanism
For each current market state:
Feature Vector Construction: 12-dimensional representation of market conditions
Historical Search: Scan lookback period for similar patterns using Lorentzian distance
Neighbor Selection: Identify K nearest historical matches
Outcome Analysis: Examine what happened N bars after each match
Weighted Prediction: Combine outcomes using distance-based weights
Confidence Calculation: Measure agreement between neighbors
Technical Hurdles Overcome
Array Management: Complex indexing to prevent look-ahead bias
Distance Calculations: Optimizing nested loops for performance
Memory Constraints: Balancing lookback depth with computational limits
Signal Filtering: Preventing clustering of identical signals
Advanced Dashboard System

Input Parameters Deep Dive
Core Algorithm Settings
K Nearest Neighbors (1-20): More neighbors create smoother but less responsive signals. Optimal range 5-8 for most markets.
Historical Lookback (50-500): Deeper history improves pattern recognition but reduces adaptability. 100-200 bars optimal for most timeframes.
Feature Window (5-30): Longer windows capture more context but reduce sensitivity. Match to your trading timeframe.
Feature Selection
Price Changes: Essential for momentum and reversal detection Volume Profile: Critical for institutional activity recognition Volatility Measures: Key for regime change detection Momentum Indicators: Vital for trend confirmation
Signal Generation
Prediction Horizon (1-20): How far ahead to predict. Shorter horizons for scalping, longer for swing trading.
Signal Threshold (0.5-0.9): Confidence required for signal generation. Higher values reduce false signals but may miss opportunities.

Market Context: Consider overall market conditions
Risk Management
Position Sizing: Scale with confidence levels
Stop Losses: Adapt to market volatility
Profit Targets: Based on historical performance
Maximum Risk: Never exceed 2-3% per trade
Disclaimer
This indicator is for educational and research purposes only. It does not constitute financial advice or guarantee profitable trading results. The Lorentzian classification system reveals market patterns but cannot predict future price movements with certainty. Always use proper risk management, conduct your own analysis, and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
Market dynamics are inherently uncertain, and past performance does not guarantee future results. This tool should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, not as a standalone solution.
Bringing the elegance of relativistic geometry to market analysis through sophisticated pattern recognition and intuitive visualization.

Volume Block Order AnalyzerCore Concept
The Volume Block Order Analyzer is a sophisticated Pine Script strategy designed to detect and analyze institutional money flow through large block trades. It identifies unusually high volume candles and evaluates their directional bias to provide clear visual signals of potential market movements.
How It Works: The Mathematical Model
1. Volume Anomaly Detection
The strategy first identifies "block trades" using a statistical approach:
```
avgVolume = ta.sma(volume, lookbackPeriod)
isHighVolume = volume > avgVolume * volumeThreshold
```
This means a candle must have volume exceeding the recent average by a user-defined multiplier (default 2.0x) to be considered a significant block trade.
2. Directional Impact Calculation
For each block trade identified, its price action determines direction:
- Bullish candle (close > open): Positive impact
- Bearish candle (close < open): Negative impact
The magnitude of impact is proportional to the volume size:
```
volumeWeight = volume / avgVolume // How many times larger than average
blockImpact = (isBullish ? 1.0 : -1.0) * (volumeWeight / 10)
```
This creates a normalized impact score typically ranging from -1.0 to 1.0, scaled by dividing by 10 to prevent excessive values.
3. Cumulative Impact with Time Decay
The key innovation is the cumulative impact calculation with decay:
```
cumulativeImpact := cumulativeImpact * impactDecay + blockImpact
```
This mathematical model has important properties:
- Recent block trades have stronger influence than older ones
- Impact gradually "fades" at rate determined by decay factor (default 0.95)
- Sustained directional pressure accumulates over time
- Opposing pressure gradually counteracts previous momentum
Trading Logic
Signal Generation
The strategy generates trading signals based on momentum shifts in institutional order flow:
1. Long Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from negative to positive
```
if ta.crossover(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
```
*Logic: Institutional buying pressure has overcome selling pressure, indicating potential upward movement*
2. Short Entry Signal: When cumulative impact crosses from positive to negative
```
if ta.crossunder(cumulativeImpact, 0)
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short)
```
*Logic: Institutional selling pressure has overcome buying pressure, indicating potential downward movement*
3. Exit Logic: Positions are closed when the cumulative impact moves against the position
```
if cumulativeImpact < 0
strategy.close("Long")
```
*Logic: The original signal is no longer valid as institutional flow has reversed*
Visual Interpretation System
The strategy employs multiple visualization techniques:
1. Color Gradient Bar System:
- Deep green: Strong buying pressure (impact > 0.5)
- Light green: Moderate buying pressure (0.1 < impact ≤ 0.5)
- Yellow-green: Mild buying pressure (0 < impact ≤ 0.1)
- Yellow: Neutral (impact = 0)
- Yellow-orange: Mild selling pressure (-0.1 < impact ≤ 0)
- Orange: Moderate selling pressure (-0.5 < impact ≤ -0.1)
- Red: Strong selling pressure (impact ≤ -0.5)
2. Dynamic Impact Line:
- Plots the cumulative impact as a line
- Line color shifts with impact value
- Line movement shows momentum and trend strength
3. Block Trade Labels:
- Marks significant block trades directly on the chart
- Shows direction and volume amount
- Helps identify key moments of institutional activity
4. Information Dashboard:
- Current impact value and signal direction
- Average volume benchmark
- Count of significant block trades
- Min/Max impact range
Benefits and Use Cases
This strategy provides several advantages:
1. Institutional Flow Detection: Identifies where large players are positioning themselves
2. Early Trend Identification: Often detects institutional accumulation/distribution before major price movements
3. Market Context Enhancement: Provides deeper insight than simple price action alone
4. Objective Decision Framework: Quantifies what might otherwise be subjective observations
5. Adaptive to Market Conditions: Works across different timeframes and instruments by using relative volume rather than absolute thresholds
Customization Options
The strategy allows users to fine-tune its behavior:
- Volume Threshold: How unusual a volume spike must be to qualify
- Lookback Period: How far back to measure average volume
- Impact Decay Factor: How quickly older trades lose influence
- Visual Settings: Labels and line width customization
This sophisticated yet intuitive strategy provides traders with a window into institutional activity, helping identify potential trend changes before they become obvious in price action alone.
Alternative Price [OmegaTools]The Alternative Price script is a sophisticated and flexible indicator designed to redefine how traders visualize and interpret price data. By offering multiple unique charting modes, robust customization options, and advanced features, this tool provides a comprehensive alternative to traditional price charts. It is particularly useful for identifying market trends, detecting patterns, and simplifying complex data into actionable insights.
This script is highly versatile, allowing users to choose from five distinct charting modes: Candles, Line, Channel, Renko, and Bubbles. Each mode serves a unique purpose and presents price information in an innovative way. When using this script, it is strongly recommended to hide the platform’s default price candles or chart data. Doing so will eliminate redundancy and provide a clearer and more focused view of the alternative price visualization.
The Candles mode offers a traditional candlestick charting style but with added flexibility. Users can choose to enable smoothed opens or smoothed closes, which adjust the way the open and close prices are calculated. When smoothed opens are enabled, the opening price is computed as the average of the actual open price and the closing prices of the previous two bars. This creates a more gradual representation of price transitions, particularly useful in markets prone to sudden spikes or irregularities. Similarly, smoothed closes modify the closing price by averaging it with the previous close, the high-low midpoint, and an exponential moving average of the high-low-close mean. This technique filters out noise, making trends and price momentum easier to identify.
In the Line mode, the script displays a simple line chart that connects the smoothed closing prices. This mode is ideal for traders who prefer minimalism or need to focus on the overall trend without the distraction of individual bar details. The Channel mode builds upon this by plotting additional lines representing the highs and lows of each bar. The resulting visualization resembles a price corridor that helps identify support and resistance zones or price compression areas.
The Renko mode introduces a more advanced and noise-filtering method of visualizing price movements. Renko charts, constructed using the ATR (Average True Range) as a baseline, display blocks that represent a specific price range. The script dynamically calculates the size of these blocks based on ATR, with separate thresholds for upward and downward movements. This makes Renko mode particularly effective for identifying sustained trends while ignoring minor price fluctuations. Additionally, the open and close values of Renko blocks can be smoothed to further refine the visualization.
The Bubbles mode represents price activity using circles or bubbles whose size corresponds to relative volume. This mode provides a quick and intuitive way to assess market participation at different price levels. Larger bubbles indicate higher trading volumes, while smaller bubbles highlight periods of lower activity. This visualization is particularly valuable in understanding the relationship between price movements and market liquidity.
The coloring of candles and other chart elements is a core feature of this script. Users can select between two color modes: Normal and Volume. In Normal mode, bullish candles are displayed in the user-defined bullish color, while bearish candles use the bearish color. Neutral elements, such as midpoints or undecided price movements, are shaded with a neutral color. In Volume mode, the candle colors are dynamically adjusted based on trading volume. A gradient color scale is applied, where the intensity of the bullish or bearish colors reflects the volume for that particular bar. This feature allows traders to visually identify periods of heightened activity and associate them with specific price movements.
Engulfing patterns, a popular technical analysis tool, are automatically detected and marked on the chart when the corresponding setting is enabled. The script identifies long engulfing patterns, where the current bar's range completely encompasses the previous bar’s range and indicates a potential bullish reversal. Similarly, short engulfing patterns are identified where the current bar fully engulfs the previous bar in the opposite direction, suggesting a bearish reversal. These patterns are visually highlighted with circular markers to draw the trader’s attention.
Each feature and mode is highly customizable. The colors for bullish, bearish, and neutral movements can be personalized, and the thresholds for patterns or smoothing can be fine-tuned to match specific trading strategies. The script's ability to toggle between various modes makes it adaptable to different market conditions and analysis preferences.
In summary, the Alternative Price script is a comprehensive tool that redefines the way traders view price charts. By offering multiple visualization modes, customizable features, and advanced detection algorithms, it provides a powerful way to uncover market trends, volume relationships, and significant patterns. The recommendation to hide default chart elements ensures that the focus remains on this innovative tool, enhancing its usability and clarity. This script empowers traders to gain deeper insights into market behavior and make informed trading decisions, all while maintaining a clean and visually appealing chart layout.
Keep in mind that some of the modes of this indicator might not reflect the actual closing price of the underlying asset, before opening a trade, check carefully the actual price!
