## ⚡ WHAT'S NEW IN v7
### Major Additions: INTRABAR ANALYSIS ENGINE
| Feature | Description | Edge It Provides |
|---------|-------------|------------------|
| **Intrabar Delta** | REAL buy/sell pressure from lower TF | Far more accurate than estimated delta |
| **Intrabar Momentum** | Direction consistency within bar | See if candle formed through conviction |
| **Absorption Detection** | High vol + low price movement | Spot institutional accumulation/distribution |
| **Internal Sweeps** | Stop hunts INSIDE candles | Catch hidden liquidity grabs |
| **Volume Distribution** | Where volume clustered in bar | TOP/MID/BOT volume clustering |
### The Intrabar Advantage
**Problem with Standard Analysis:**
- You only see the final OHLC of each candle
- Delta estimation is educated guesswork
- Internal price action is invisible
- Stop hunts inside bars go undetected
**Solution with Intrabar Analysis:**
- `request.security_lower_tf()` gives us the INSIDE view
- See actual lower timeframe candles within each bar
- Calculate TRUE delta from actual price direction
- Detect sweeps and reversals hidden from current timeframe
---
## 🔬 INTRABAR ANALYSIS DEEP DIVE
### How It Works
When you're on a 5-minute chart, intrabar analysis requests 1-minute data within each 5-minute bar. This gives us 5 sub-candles to analyze within each parent candle.
```
5-MIN CANDLE (What you normally see):
┌────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ OPEN ──────── CLOSE │
│ │
└────────────────────────────────┘
INTRABAR VIEW (What v7 sees):
┌────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🕐1 🕐2 🕐3 🕐4 🕐5 │
│ ▲ ▼ ▲ ▲ ▲ │
│ │ │ │ │ │ │
│ Each 1-min candle analyzed │
└────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Intrabar Delta (IB Delta)
**What It Is:**
Real buy/sell pressure calculated from actual lower timeframe candle directions.
**Why It's Better:**
- Standard delta: Estimated from close position within bar
- Intrabar delta: Calculated from 5+ actual candles with known direction
**Calculation:**
```
For each intrabar candle:
├── If bullish (close > open): More weight to buy volume
├── If bearish (close < open): More weight to sell volume
├── Volume distributed by close position within each micro-candle
└── Summed across all intrabar candles = TRUE DELTA
```
**Grades:**
| IB Delta % | Grade | Meaning |
|------------|-------|---------|
| 78%+ | 🔥 EXTREME | One side has overwhelming control |
| 70-77% | ✓✓ STRONG | Clear directional bias |
| 62-69% | ✓ DOMINANT | Healthy dominance |
| <62% | — NEUTRAL | Mixed/uncertain |
---
### Intrabar Momentum (IB Momentum)
**What It Is:**
The percentage of intrabar candles moving in the same direction.
**Why It Matters:**
A bullish candle could form through:
1. **High momentum:** 4 of 5 sub-candles bullish = Strong conviction
2. **Low momentum:** 2 bullish, 2 bearish, 1 bullish = Choppy formation
**Calculation:**
```
IB Momentum = max(bullish_count, bearish_count) / total_intrabar_candles
Example (5-min bar with 1-min intrabar):
├── 1st minute: Bullish ✓
├── 2nd minute: Bullish ✓
├── 3rd minute: Bearish ✗
├── 4th minute: Bullish ✓
├── 5th minute: Bullish ✓
└── IB Momentum = 4/5 = 80% BULLISH
```
**Thresholds:**
| IB Momentum % | Classification | Signal Quality |
|---------------|----------------|----------------|
| 75%+ | 🔥 STRONG | Very high conviction |
| 60-74% | ✓ CONFIRMED | Good directional bias |
| <60% | MIXED | Choppy, low conviction |
---
### Absorption Detection
**What It Is:**
Institutional accumulation/distribution signature - high volume with little price movement.
**The Theory:**
When institutions accumulate (buy), they absorb selling without moving price much:
- Retail sells → Institution buys at limit prices
- Volume spikes but price stays flat
- Once accumulation complete → price explodes up
**Detection Logic:**
```
ABSORPTION = High Volume + Low Price Movement + Volume Clustering
Conditions:
├── Volume per point > 1.5x average
├── Price movement < 60% of average range
├── Volume clusters in one zone (TOP/MID/BOT)
└── Cluster percentage >= 65% threshold
```
**Direction:**
- **BULL ABS:** Volume clustered at BOT + net buy delta = Buying at lows
- **BEAR ABS:** Volume clustered at TOP + net sell delta = Selling at highs
**Visual:** ✕ marker below (bull) or above (bear) the candle
---
### Internal Sweeps (Hidden Liquidity Grabs)
**What It Is:**
Stop hunts that happen INSIDE a candle - invisible on current timeframe.
**The Setup:**
```
INTERNAL BULLISH SWEEP:
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ First Half: Second Half: │
│ ▲▼▲▼ ▲▲▲ │
│ Forms lows Reverses UP │
│ ↓ ↑ │
│ SWEEP REJECTION │
└─────────────────────────────────┘
= Hidden liquidity grab at lows, bullish
```
**Detection:**
```
Internal Bull Sweep:
├── Early intrabar candles form a low
├── Later intrabar candles sweep below that low
├── Final intrabar candles close back above
├── Parent candle closes green
└── = Hidden sweep, bullish reversal
Internal Bear Sweep:
├── Early intrabar candles form a high
├── Later intrabar candles sweep above that high
├── Final intrabar candles close back below
├── Parent candle closes red
└── = Hidden sweep, bearish reversal
```
**Visual:** "iS" marker (intrabar Sweep) on the candle
---
### Volume Distribution
**What It Is:**
Where volume clustered within the parent candle - TOP, MID, or BOT third.
**Why It Matters:**
- **BOT clustering + bullish delta:** Institutions buying at lows (bullish)
- **TOP clustering + bearish delta:** Institutions selling at highs (bearish)
- **MID clustering:** Balanced/uncertain
**Calculation:**
```
Divide parent candle into 3 zones:
├── TOP third: high - (range/3)
├── MID third: middle zone
└── BOT third: low + (range/3)
For each intrabar candle:
├── Calculate midpoint
├── Assign volume to TOP/MID/BOT based on midpoint
└── Sum volumes by zone
```

DeltaBurst Locator ## DeltaBurst Locator
DeltaBurst Locator is a sponsorship detector that divides OBV impulse by price thrust, normalizes the ratio, and cross-checks it against a higher timeframe confirmation stream. The oscillator turns the abstract "is this move real?" question into a precise number, exposing accumulation, distribution, and exhaustion across futures and stocks.
HOW IT WORKS
OBV Impulse vs. Price Change – Smoothed deltas of On-Balance Volume and price are ratioed, then normalized using a hyperbolic tangent function to prevent single prints from dominating.
Signal vs. Confirmation – A short EMA produces the execution signal while a higher-timeframe request.security() feed validates whether broader flows agree.
Spectrum Classification – Expansion/compression metrics grade whether current aggression is intense or fading, while ±0.65 bands define exhaust/vacuum zones.
Slope Divergences – Linear regression slopes on both price and the ratio expose bullish/bearish sponsorship mismatches before candles reverse.
HOW TO USE IT
Breakout Validation : Only chase breakouts when both local and higher-timeframe ratios are on the same side of zero; mixed signals suggest liquidity is fading.
Absorption Trades : When the histogram spikes beyond ±0.65 but the EMA lags, expect absorption; combine with price structure for pinpoint reversals.
News/Event Monitoring : During earnings or macro releases, watch for ratio collapses with price still rising—this flags forced moves driven by hedging rather than real demand.
VISUAL FEATURES
Color logic: Positive sponsorship fills teal, negative fills crimson against the zero line, making intent obvious at a glance.
Optional markers: Burst triangles and divergence dots can be enabled when you need explicit annotations or left off for a minimalist panel.
Compression heatmap: Background shading communicates whether the market is coiling (high compression) or erupting (low compression).
Dashboard: Displays the live ratio, higher-timeframe ratio, and agreement state to speed up scanning across tickers.
PARAMETERS
Fast Pulse Length (default: 5): Controls the smoothing window for price change detection.
Slow Equilibrium Length (default: 34): Window for expansion/compression calculation.
OBV Smooth (default: 8): Smoothing period for OBV impulse calculation.
Ratio Ceiling (default: 3.0): Controls how aggressively values saturate; raise for high-volatility tickers.
Signal EMA (default: 4): EMA period for the signal line.
Confirmation Timeframe (default: 240): Pick a higher anchor (e.g., 4H) to validate intraday moves.
Divergence Window (default: 21): Window for slope-based divergence detection.
Show Burst Markers (default: disabled): Toggle burst triangles on demand.
Show Divergence Markers (default: disabled): Toggle divergence dots on demand.
Show Delta Dashboard (default: enabled): Hide when screen space is limited; leave on for desk broadcasts.
ALERTS
The indicator includes four alert conditions:
DeltaBurst Bull: Spotted a bullish liquidity burst
DeltaBurst Bear: Spotted a bearish liquidity burst
DeltaBurst Bull Div: Detected bullish sponsorship divergence
DeltaBurst Bear Div: Detected bearish sponsorship divergence

Volume Pressure OscillatorThe Volume Pressure Oscillator (VPO) is a momentum-based indicator that measures the directional pressure of cumulative volume delta (CVD) combined with price efficiency. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with readings above 50 indicating net buying pressure and readings below 50 indicating net selling pressure.
The indicator is designed to identify the strength and sustainability of volume-driven trends while remaining responsive during consolidation periods.
How the Indicator Works
The VPO analyzes volume flow by examining price action at lower timeframes to build a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). For each chart bar, the indicator looks at intrabar price movements to classify volume as either buying volume or selling volume. These classifications are accumulated into a running total that tracks net directional volume.
The indicator then measures the momentum of this CVD over both short-term and longer-term periods, providing responsiveness to recent changes while maintaining awareness of the broader trend. These momentum readings are normalized using percentile ranking, which creates a stable 0-100 scale that works consistently across different instruments and market conditions.
A key feature is the extreme zone persistence mechanism. When the indicator enters extreme zones (above 80 or below 20), it maintains elevated readings as long as volume pressure continues in the same direction. This allows the VPO to stay in extreme zones during strong trends rather than quickly reverting to neutral, making it useful for identifying sustained volume pressure rather than just temporary spikes.
What Makes This Indicator Different
While many indicators measure volume or volume delta, the VPO specifically measures how aggressively CVD is currently changing and whether that pressure is being sustained. It's the difference between knowing "more volume has accumulated on the buy side" versus "buying pressure is intensifying right now and shows signs of continuation."
1. Focus on CVD Momentum, Not CVD Levels
Most CVD indicators display the cumulative volume delta as a line that trends up or down indefinitely. The VPO is fundamentally different - it measures the slope of CVD rather than the absolute level. This transforms CVD from an unbounded cumulative metric into a bounded 0-100 oscillator that shows the intensity and direction of current volume pressure, not just the historical accumulation.
2. Designed to Stay in Extremes During Trends
Unlike traditional oscillators that treat extreme readings (above 80 or below 20) as overbought/oversold reversal signals, the VPO is engineered to oscillate within extreme zones during strong trends. When sustained buying or selling pressure exists, the indicator remains elevated (e.g., 80-95 or 5-20) rather than quickly reverting to neutral. This makes it useful for trend continuation identification rather than exclusively for reversal trading.
3. Percentile-Based Normalization
The VPO uses percentile ranking over a lookback window, which provides consistent behavior across different instruments, timeframes, and volatility regimes without constant recalibration.
4. Dual-Timeframe Momentum Synthesis
The indicator simultaneously considers short-term CVD momentum (responsive to recent changes) and longer-term CVD momentum (tracking trend direction), weighted and combined with a slow-moving trend bias. This multi-timeframe approach helps it stay responsive in ranging markets while maintaining context during trends.
How to Use the Indicator
Understanding the Zones:
80-100 (Strong Buying Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly positive. In trending markets, the indicator oscillates within this zone rather than immediately reverting to neutral. This suggests sustained accumulation and trend continuation probability.
60-80 (Moderate Buying): Positive volume pressure but not extreme. Suitable for identifying pullback entry opportunities within uptrends.
40-60 (Neutral Zone): Volume pressure is balanced or unclear. No strong directional edge from volume. Often seen during consolidation or trend transitions.
20-40 (Moderate Selling): Negative volume pressure developing. May indicate distribution or downtrend continuation setups.
0-20 (Strong Selling Pressure): CVD momentum is strongly negative. During downtrends, sustained readings in this zone suggest continued distribution and downside follow-through probability.
Practical Applications:
Trend Confirmation: When price makes new highs/lows, check if VPO confirms with similarly elevated readings. Divergences (price making new highs while VPO fails to reach prior highs) may indicate weakening momentum.
Range Trading: During consolidation, the VPO typically oscillates between 30-70. Readings toward the low end of the range (30-40) may present accumulation opportunities, while readings at the high end (60-70) may indicate distribution zones.
Extreme Persistence: If VPO reaches 90+ or drops below 10, this indicates exceptional volume pressure. Rather than fading these extremes immediately, monitor whether the indicator stays elevated. Sustained extreme readings suggest strong trend continuation potential.
Context with Price Action: The VPO is most effective when combined with price action or other orderflow indicators. Use the indicator to gauge whether volume is confirming or contradicting.
What the Indicator Does NOT Do:
It does not provide specific entry or exit signals
It does not predict future price direction
It does not guarantee profitable trades
It should not be used as a standalone trading system
Settings Explanation
Momentum Period (Default: 14)
This parameter controls the lookback period for CVD rate-of-change calculations.
Lower values (5-10): Make the indicator more responsive to recent volume changes. Useful for shorter-term trading and more active oscillation. May produce more whipsaws in choppy markets.
Default value (14): Provides balanced responsiveness while filtering out most noise. Suitable for swing trading and daily timeframe analysis.
Higher values (20-50): Create smoother readings and focus on longer-term volume trends. Better for position trading and reducing false signals, but with slower reaction to genuine changes in volume pressure.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires intrabar data to function properly. On some instruments or timeframes where lower timeframe data is not available, the indicator may not display.
The indicator uses request.security_lower_tf() which has a limit of intrabars. On higher timeframes, this provides extensive history, but on very low timeframes (<1-minute charts), the indicator may only cover limited historical bars.
Volume data quality varies by exchange and instrument. The indicator's effectiveness depends on accurate volume reporting from the data feed.
Volume detection trigger📌 Indicator Overview ** Capture a Moment of Market Attention **
This indicator combines abnormal volume (volume explosion) and price reversal patterns to capture a “signal-flare moment.”
In other words, it is designed to detect moments when strong activity enters the market and a trend reversal or the start of a major uptrend/downtrend becomes likely.
✅ Strengths (Short Summary)
Detects meaningful volume spikes rather than random volume increases
Includes bottoming patterns such as long lower wicks & liquidity sweep lows
Filters with EMA alignment / RSI / Stochastic to avoid overheated signals → catches early entries rather than tops
4H/Daily timing filter to detect signals only during high-liquidity market windows
Designed as a rare-signal model for high reliability, not a noisy alert tool
➡ Summary: “The indicator fires only when volume, price structure, momentum, and timing align perfectly at the same moment.”
🎯 How to Use
A signal does not mean you should instantly buy or sell.
Treat it as a sign that “the market’s attention is now concentrated here.”
After a signal appears, check:
Whether price stays above EMA21
Whether there is room to the previous high (upside space)
Whether a minor pullback or retest finds support
🔍 Practical Applications
Use Case Description
Swing Trading Detecting early-stage trend reversals
Day Trading Spotting volume-driven shift points
🧠 Core Summary
📌 “A signal-flare indicator that automatically detects the exact moment when real volume hits the market.”
→ Not a tool to predict direction
→ A tool to recognize timing and concentration zones where major movement is likely to form
⚠ Important Note
A surge in volume or a positive delta does NOT necessarily mean institutions are buying.
The “institution/whale inflow” in the indicator is a model-based estimation, and it cannot identify buyers and sellers with 100% certainty.
Volume, delta, cumulative flow, and VWAP breakout may all imply “strong participation,”
but in some cases, the dominant side may still be sellers, such as:
High volume at a peak (distribution)
Heavy selling into strength
Long upper wick after high delta
Price failing to advance despite massive orders

Dynamic Volume Trace Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile is a reimagined take on volume profile analysis. Instead of plotting a static horizontal histogram on the side of your chart, this indicator projects dynamic volume trace lines directly onto the price action. Each bin is color-graded according to its relative strength, creating a living “volume skeleton” of the market. The orange trace highlights the current Point of Control (POC)—the price level with maximum historical traded volume within the lookback window. On the right side, the tool builds a mini profile, showing absolute volume per bin alongside its percentage share, where the POC always represents 100% strength .
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Dynamic On-Chart Bins:
The range between highest high and lowest low is split into 25 bins. Each bin is drawn as a horizontal trace line across the lookback chart period.
Gradient Color Encoding:
Trace lines fade from transparent to teal depending on relative volume size. The more intense the teal, the stronger the historical traded activity at that level.
Automatic POC Highlight:
The bin with the highest aggregated volume is flagged with an orange line . This POC adapts bar-by-bar as volume distribution shifts.
Right-Side Volume Profile:
At the chart’s right edge, the script prints a box-style profile. Each bin shows:
• Total volume (absolute units).
• Percentage of max volume, in parentheses (POC bin = 100%).
This gives both raw and normalized context at a glance.
Adjustable Lookback Window:
The lookback defines how many bars feed the profile. Increase for stable HTF zones or decrease for responsive intraday distributions.
POC Toggle & Styling:
Optionally toggle POC highlighting on/off, adjust colors, and set line thickness for better integration with your chart theme.
⯁ HOW IT WORKS (UNDER THE HOOD)
Step Sizing:
over last 100 bars is divided by to calculate bin height.
Volume Aggregation:
For each bar in the , the script checks which bin the close falls into, then adds that bar’s volume to the bin’s counter.
Gradient Mapping:
Bin volume is normalized against the max volume across all bins. That value is mapped onto a gradient from transparent → teal.
POC Logic:
The bin with highest volume is colored orange both on the dynamic trace and in the right-side profile.
Right-Hand Profile:
Boxes are drawn for each bin proportional to volume / maxVolume × 50 units, with text labels showing both absolute volume and normalized %.
⯁ USAGE
Use the orange trace as the dominant “magnet” level—price often gravitates to the POC.
Watch for clusters of strong teal traces as areas of high acceptance; thin or faint zones mark low-liquidity gaps prone to fast moves.
On intraday charts, tighten lookback to reveal session-based distributions . For swing or position trading, expand lookback to surface more durable volume shelves.
Compare the right-side profile % to judge how “top-heavy” or “bottom-heavy” the current distribution is.
Use bright, intense color traces as context for confluence with structure, OBs, or liquidity hunts.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Dynamic Volume Trace Profile takes the traditional volume profile and fuses it into the body of price itself. Instead of a fixed sidebar, you see gradient traces layered directly on the chart, giving real-time context of where volume concentrated and where price may be drawn. With built-in POC highlighting, normalized % readouts, and an adaptive right-side profile, it offers both precision levels and market structure awareness in a cleaner, more intuitive form.
VSA Volume MonitorDescription
This script provides a clear and adaptable visual representation of volume activity, helping traders understand how current participation compares to recent norms.
It calculates a moving average of volume over a user-defined smoothing window and uses that baseline to classify each bar’s volume into several intensity levels.
Bars are color-coded to reflect these levels:
• Blue for below-average activity
• Green for moderate activity
• Yellow for above-average surges
• Red for exceptionally high or climactic volume
In addition to color-coded bars, the script plots two reference bands that represent the typical (baseline) and elevated (climactic) volume zones.
These bands form a shaded cloud that helps visually separate normal market participation from periods of unusual crowd activity or volatility.
The purpose of this indicator is purely visual and informational — it does not generate buy or sell signals, and it does not predict future price movement.
Instead, it gives traders an at-a-glance view of how market interest is shifting, so they can combine that context with their own analysis or strategy.
This tool is lightweight, easy to read, and designed for use alongside other forms of technical analysis, making it suitable for traders who want to build their own framework for understanding volume behavior.
Volumatic Fair Value Gaps [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Volumatic Fair Value Gaps indicator detects and plots size-filtered Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and immediately analyzes the bullish vs. bearish volume composition inside each gap. When an FVG forms, the tool samples volume from a 10× lower timeframe , splits it into Buy and Sell components, and overlays two compact bars whose percentages always sum to 100%. Each gap also shows its total traded volume . A live dashboard (top-right) summarizes how many bullish and bearish FVGs are currently active and their cumulative volumes—offering a quick read on directional participation and trend pressure.
🔵 CONCEPTS
FVGs (Fair Value Gaps) : Imbalance zones between three consecutive candles where price “skips” trading. The script plots bullish and bearish gaps and extends them until mitigated.
Size Filtering : Only significant gaps (by relative size percentile) are drawn, reducing noise and emphasizing meaningful imbalances.
// Gap Filters
float diff = close > open ? (low - high ) / low * 100 : (low - high) / high *100
float sizeFVG = diff / ta.percentile_nearest_rank(diff, 1000, 100) * 100
bool filterFVG = sizeFVG > 15
Volume Decomposition : For each FVG, the indicator inspects a 10× lower timeframe and aggregates volume of bullish vs. bearish candles inside the gap’s span.
100% Split Bars : Two inline bars per FVG display the % Bull and % Bear shares; their total is always 100%.
Total Gap Volume : A numeric label at the right edge of the FVG shows the total traded volume associated with that gap.
Mitigation Logic : Gaps are removed when price closes through (or touches via high/low—user-selectable) the opposite boundary.
Dashboard Summary : Counts and sums the active bullish/bearish FVGs and their total volumes to gauge directional dominance.
🔵 FEATURES
Bullish & Bearish FVG plotting with independent color controls and visibility toggles.
Adaptive size filter (percentile-based) to keep only impactful gaps.
Lower-TF volume sampling at 10× faster resolution for more granular Buy/Sell breakdown.
Per-FVG volume bars : two horizontal bars showing Bull % and Bear % (sum = 100%).
Per-FVG total volume label displayed at the right end of the gap’s body.
Mitigation source option : choose close or high/low for removing/invalidating gaps.
Overlap control : older overlapped gaps are cleaned to avoid clutter.
Auto-extension : active gaps extend right until mitigated.
Dashboard : shows count of bullish/bearish gaps on chart and cumulative volume totals for each side.
Performance safeguards : caps the number of active FVG boxes to maintain responsiveness.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Turn on/off FVG types : Enable Bullish FVG and/or Bearish FVG depending on your focus.
Tune the filter : The script already filters by relative size; if you need fewer (stronger) signals, increase the percentile threshold in code or reduce the number of displayed boxes.
Choose mitigation source :
close — stricter; gap is removed when a closing price crosses the boundary.
high/low — more sensitive; a wick through the boundary mitigates the gap.
Read the per-FVG bars :
A higher Bull % inside a bullish gap suggests constructive demand backing the imbalance.
A higher Bear % inside a bearish gap suggests supply is enforcing the imbalance.
Use total gap volume : Larger totals imply more meaningful interest at that imbalance; confluence with structure/HTF levels increases relevance.
Watch the dashboard : If bullish counts and cumulative volume exceed bearish, market pressure is likely skewed upward (and vice versa). Combine with trend tools or market structure for entries/exits.
Optional: hide volume bars : Disable Volume Bars when you want a cleaner FVG map while keeping total volume labels and the dashboard.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Volumatic Fair Value Gaps blends precise FVG detection with lower-timeframe volume analytics to show not only where imbalances exist but also who powers them. The per-gap Bull/Bear % bars, total volume labels, and the cumulative dashboard together provide a fast, high-signal read on directional participation. Use the tool to prioritize higher-quality gaps, align with trend bias, and time mitigations or continuations with greater confidence.
Volume Pressure Analysis - Live DataVolume Pressure Gauge and Volume Percentage Indicator – Pine Script Guide
This indicator provides a simplified, real-time visualization of both volume pressure (buy vs. sell activity) and today’s trading volume in comparison to historical averages. It is designed to help traders assess whether buyers or sellers dominate the current session and whether today’s volume is significant relative to recent behaviour.
________________________________________
Key Functional Segments
1. Inputs and Configuration
Users can configure the length of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) used to calculate average volume, set the position of the gauge table on the chart, and toggle the visibility of the volume pressure display. This allows flexibility in integrating the tool with various trading styles and chart layouts.
2. Volume Data Calculations
The indicator calculates three key volume metrics:
• volToday: The current day’s volume.
• volAvg: The average volume over the user-defined SMA period (default is 20 bars).
• volPct: The current volume as a percentage of the average.
This enables traders to quickly recognize whether current trading activity is above or below normal, which can be a precursor to potential trend strength or weakness.
3. Volume Pressure Calculation
The script estimates buying and selling pressure based on price movement and volume. It distributes volume into upward (buy) and downward (sell) segments and expresses them as percentages of the total volume. This gives an immediate sense of whether bulls or bears are more active in the current session.
4. Visual Representation (Progress Bars)
The indicator renders a simplified visual gauge using horizontal bar segments (pseudo-bars) to reflect the proportion of buy and sell pressure. The length of each bar correlates with the strength of pressure from buyers or sellers, helping users assess dominance without analyzing candlestick behavior in depth.
5. Table Display
A compact table is drawn on the chart showing:
• Buy pressure percentage and corresponding bar.
• Sell pressure percentage and corresponding bar.
• Volume percentage compared to the recent average.
This format makes it easy to evaluate volume dynamics at a glance, without cluttering the price chart or relying on separate overlays.
________________________________________
How Traders Benefit from This Indicator
• Momentum Shift Detection: Early signs of trend reversal can be observed when volume pressure flips direction.
• Breakout Validation: High volume combined with dominant pressure supports the credibility of breakout moves.
• False Move Avoidance: If price moves on low volume or mixed pressure, traders can avoid low-probability entries.
• Market Context Awareness: Users can assess whether a day is behaving normally in terms of participation or is unusually quiet or aggressive.
________________________________________
Basic Usage Guide
1. Add the script to your TradingView chart and set your preferred SMA length for volume comparison.
2. Customize the table’s position using the X and Y settings for clarity and alignment.
3. Interpret the outputs:
o A higher red bar indicates dominant sell pressure.
o A higher green bar indicates dominant buy pressure.
o Volume % above 100% suggests above-average activity, while values below 100% may imply low conviction.
4. Apply to trading decisions:
o High buy pressure and high volume may indicate a strong long opportunity.
o High sell pressure and high volume may support short setups.
o Low volume or conflicting signals may call for caution.
5. Combine with other tools such as trend indicators, support/resistance zones, or price action patterns for more reliable trade setups.
________________________________________
Practical Example
• Sell Pressure: 70% → Suggests strong seller control; potential for short setups.
• Buy Pressure: 30% → Weak buying interest; long trades may carry risk.
• Volume Percentage: 120% → Indicates a surge in participation; movement may have greater validity.
________________________________________
Tips for New Traders
• Use this indicator as a confirmation tool rather than a standalone strategy.
• Begin on higher timeframes (4-hour or daily) to develop familiarity.
• Compare multiple examples to identify reliable patterns over time.
• Always incorporate proper risk management, including stop losses.

Exchanges Combined Volume📊 Exchanges Combined Volume
(Aggregated Multi-Exchange Volume: Binance, OKX, Bybit, etc.) by BIGTAKER*
🔍 Purpose
The Exchanges Combined Volume indicator aggregates real-time trading volumes from multiple global exchanges for a specific asset (e.g., a cryptocurrency).
Instead of relying on a single market, it provides a broader view of market activity, helping users detect abnormal volume behavior and increased participation across the entire market.
⚙️ Supported Exchanges
* USDT Markets
`Binance`, `OKX`, `Bybit`, `Bitget`, `Gate.io`
* USD Markets
`Coinbase`, `Bitfinex`, `Bitstamp`
* Default
Includes the current chart symbol’s native volume by default.
🧮 Core Calculation Logic
1. 📛 Symbol Normalization (cleanSymbol)
Prefixes such as `1000`, `10000`, `100000`, or `1M` (common in leveraged tickers) are automatically removed to extract the base token.
> Example:
> `1000PEPEUSDT` → `PEPEUSDT`
2. 📈 Volume Requests from External Exchanges
Volume is retrieved using the `` format (e.g., `'BINANCE:PEPEUSDT'`, `'COINBASE:BTCUSD'`).
Invalid or delisted pairs are safely ignored using `ignore_invalid_symbol=true`.
3. 📊 Total Volume Calculation
totalVolume = usdtVolume + usdVolume + currentSymbolVolume
The indicator sums the volume from all target exchanges plus the volume from the current chart symbol.
4. 📏 Comparison to Average Volume
* Period: `length = 60` (Simple Moving Average over 60 candles)
* A candle is considered **high-intensity** if:
5. 🎨 Visual Styling
| Condition | Color | Meaning |
| -------------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------- |
| High-volume Bullish Candle | Light Green (#30db78) | Strong Buying Activity |
| High-volume Bearish Candle | Bright Red (#ff0000) | Strong Selling Activity |
| Normal Bullish Candle | Dark Green (#3c7058) | Regular Buying Volume |
| Normal Bearish Candle | Dark Red (#682e2c) | Regular Selling Volume |
📌 Use Cases
* Detect synchronized volume surges across major global exchanges.
* Identify pre-pump accumulation phases on altcoins.
* Combine with premium gap indicators (e.g., Kimchi Premium) to identify leading market sentiment.
* Confirm breakout momentum with multi-exchange volume validation.
📘 Notes & Warnings
* Listing differences across exchanges may result in **zero volume** on some platforms.
* Prefixes like `1000`, `1M`, etc., are automatically removed to **improve symbol matching accuracy**.
* As volume units are not standardized, this indicator is best suited for **absolute value analysis**, not ratio-based comparisons.
VSA-Stopping VolumeVSA Stopping Volume Indicator
Stopping Volume occurs when candles show decreasing body sizes (narrow spreads) while volume steadily increases.
Example chart:
As you see:
3 consecutive candles in same direction (all green OR all red)
Body sizes (spreads) decreasing progressively: Candle 1 > Candle 2 > Candle 3
Volume increasing progressively: Volume 1 < Volume 2 < Volume 3
This pattern indicates price absorption - increased buying/selling pressure but declining price movement, often signaling exhaustion and potential reversal.
Indicator Features
This indicator detects Stopping Volume candlestick clusters with two signal types:
🔹 BUY/SELL Signals: Generated when pattern occurs at support/resistance zones
🔹 Directional Alerts (▲-green, ▼-red): Generated when pattern occurs outside key levels
Trading Guidelines:
⚠️ Auto-drawn S/R zones are reference only - manual level plotting recommended for accuracy
📊 Best for scalping: M5, M10, M15 timeframes
🛡️ Stop Loss: Place beyond the S/R zone you're trading
🎯 Take Profit: Based on your risk management
Key Concept: Volume expansion + price contraction = potential reversal, especially at SnR levels.
Perfect for scalpers looking to catch reversals at critical zones!

Volume Order Blocks [BigBeluga]Volume Order Blocks is a powerful indicator that identifies significant order blocks based on price structure, helping traders spot key supply and demand zones. The tool leverages EMA crossovers to determine the formation of bullish and bearish order blocks while visualizing their associated volume and relative strength.
🔵 Key Features:
Order Block Detection via EMA Crossovers:
Plots bullish order blocks at recent lows when the short EMA crosses above the long EMA.
Plots bearish order blocks at recent highs when the short EMA crosses below the long EMA.
Uses customizable sensitivity through the “Sensitivity Detection” setting to fine-tune block formation.
Volume Collection and Visualization:
Calculates the total volume between the EMA crossover bar and the corresponding high (bearish OB) or low (bullish OB).
Displays the absolute volume amount next to each order block for clear volume insights.
Percentage Volume Distribution:
Shows the percentage distribution of volume among bullish or bearish order blocks.
100% represents the cumulative volume of all OBs in the same category (bullish or bearish).
Order Block Removal Conditions:
Bullish order blocks are removed when the price closes below the bottom of the block.
Bearish order blocks are removed when the price closes above the top of the block.
Helps maintain chart clarity by only displaying relevant and active levels.
Midline Feature:
Dashed midline inside each order block indicates the midpoint between the upper and lower boundaries.
Traders can toggle the midline on or off through the settings.
Shadow Trend:
Shadow Trend dynamically visualizes trend strength and direction by adapting its color intensity based on price movement.
🔵 Usage:
Supply & Demand Zones: Use bullish and bearish order blocks to identify key market reversal or continuation points.
Volume Strength Analysis: Compare volume percentages to gauge which order blocks hold stronger market significance.
Breakout Confirmation: Monitor block removal conditions for potential breakout signals beyond support or resistance zones.
Trend Reversals: Combine EMA crossovers with order block formation for early trend reversal detection.
Risk Management: Use OB boundaries as potential stop-loss or entry points.
Volume Order Blocks is an essential tool for traders seeking to incorporate volume-based supply and demand analysis into their trading strategy. By combining price action, volume data, and EMA crossovers, it offers a comprehensive view of market structure and potential turning points.
Range Breakout Signals [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script detects range-bound market conditions and breakout signals using a combination of volatility compression and volume imbalance analysis. It identifies zones where price consolidates within a defined range and highlights potential breakout points with visual markers. Traders can use this to spot market transitions from ranging to trending phases, aiding in decision-making for breakout strategies.
CONCEPTS
The script measures volatility by comparing the ratio of the simple moving average (SMA) of price movements to their median value. When volatility drops below a threshold, the script assumes a range-bound market. It then tracks the cumulative volume of buying and selling pressure to assess breakout strength. The approach is based on the idea that market consolidation often precedes strong moves, and volume distribution can provide clues on the breakout direction.
FEATURES
Range Detection : Uses a volatility filter to identify low-volatility zones and marks them on the chart with shaded boxes.
Volume Imbalance Analysis : Evaluates cumulative up and down volume over a confirmation period to assess directional bias.
Breakout Signals : When price exits a detected range, the script plots breakout markers. A ▲ symbol indicates a bullish breakout, and a ▼ symbol indicates a bearish breakout. Additional "+" markers indicate strong volume imbalance favoring the breakout direction.
Adaptive Timeframe Volume Analysis : The script dynamically adjusts its volume calculation based on the chart’s timeframe, ensuring reliable signal generation across different trading conditions.
Alerts : Notifies traders when a new range is detected or when a breakout occurs, allowing for automated monitoring.
USAGE
Traders can use this script to identify potential trade setups by entering positions when price breaks out of a detected range. For breakout confirmation, traders can look at volume imbalance cues—bullish breakouts with strong buying volume may indicate sustained moves, while weak volume breakouts may lead to false signals. This script is particularly useful for breakout traders, range traders seeking to fade breakouts, and those looking to automate trade alerts in volatile markets.
VSA Volume + Fibonacci (Volunacci)Overview
This indicator combines Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) with Fibonacci levels to identify key price zones based on volume behavior. It helps traders determine potential support and resistance levels influenced by volume strength.
How It Works
Volume Calculation
The indicator calculates volume levels based on the selected timeframe.
It identifies high volume spikes and low volume dips, which are critical for detecting supply and demand shifts.
It uses a simple moving average (SMA) of volume to smooth fluctuations.
Fibonacci Levels Integration
When a high-volume event is detected, the indicator records the highest high and lowest low of that candle.
It then plots Fibonacci retracement and extension levels to highlight potential price reaction zones.
Negative Fibonacci levels are included to identify possible deep retracements.
Visual Features
The indicator adapts to both light and dark themes for better visibility.
Fibonacci lines are color-coded based on key retracement and extension levels.
A table displaying key Fibonacci levels and their corresponding prices is provided for quick reference.
Why Is This Indicator Useful?
It helps traders spot accumulation and distribution phases by analyzing volume at key price points.
The combination of VSA and Fibonacci allows traders to confirm trend strength and identify potential reversal points.
Works well for trend-following strategies, scalping, and breakout trading.
How to Use This Indicator?
Use it to confirm breakouts or reversals at Fibonacci levels when volume supports the move.
Watch for high-volume spikes near key Fibonacci zones—these can signal strong trend continuation or reversal.
Use the displayed Fibonacci table to quickly assess price reaction levels.
Credits
This script was inspired by the Hidden Gap’s VSA Volume indicator by HPotter and has been enhanced by integrating Fibonacci-based analysis.
Liquidity Depth [AlgoAlpha]OVERVIEW
This script visualizes market liquidity by identifying key price levels where significant volume has transacted. It highlights zones of high buying and selling interest, helping traders understand where liquidity is accumulating and how price may respond to these areas. By dynamically tracking volume at highs and lows, the script builds a real-time liquidity profile, making it a powerful tool for identifying potential support and resistance levels.
CONCEPTS
Liquidity depth analysis helps traders determine how price interacts with supply and demand at different levels. The script processes historical volume data to distinguish between high-liquidity and low-liquidity zones. It assigns transparency levels to plotted lines , ensuring that more relevant liquidity areas stand out visually. The script adds a profile to show the depth of liquidity (derived from historical volume data) for levels above and below the current price
FEATURES
Liquidity Levels: Tracks liquidity levels based on volume concentration at price high and lows.

📚 Introduction to Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) :
Volume Spread Analysis is a method used to interpret the relationship between volume and price to identify the intentions of market participants. By analyzing the spread (range) of a price bar and its corresponding volume, VSA helps traders discern market strength and potential reversals.
In VSA, harmony occurs when price and volume move in sync, such as when increasing prices(aka "Effect" in the script) are accompanied by increasing volume. This indicates a strong and healthy trend. Conversely, divergence happens when price and volume move in opposite directions. For example, if prices are rising lesser but volume is still high, it may signal a weakening trend and a potential reversal. Identifying these patterns helps traders understand market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions.
🛠 Quick Guide to Using the Volume Spread Analysis Indicator
⭐ Add the Indicator: Add the indicator to favorites by pressing the star icon. Customize settings such as period length, volume SMA period, and outlier reduction factor to fit your trading style.
📊 Market Analysis: Watch for color-coded boxes indicating effects and labels showing effort values. Look for divergences and convergences to identify potential trading opportunities. A higher work done suggests that the markets are needing to work harder to move the price and users can use that information as displayed below each trend impulse box to analyze the likely hood of trend continuation/reversals.
🔔 Alerts: Enable alerts for divergences and convergences to stay informed of critical market conditions without constant chart monitoring.
🔍 How It Works:
Our indicator meticulously analyzes volume and price data to detect significant market movements. It identifies periods where volume is above or below a moving average, marks these points, and tracks the price effect over a user-defined range. By calculating the effort (volume) and effect (price movement), it distinguishes between divergences and convergences based on predefined conditions. Bullish and bearish conditions are visually represented with color-coded boxes and labels, making it easy to spot trading opportunities. Alerts can be set to notify you of critical market conditions, ensuring you never miss a potential trade setup.

Auto Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) [TANHEF]Auto Volume Spread Analysis (visible volume and spread bars auto-scaled): Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
All the sections below contain the same descriptions as my other indicator "Volume Spread Analysis" with the exception of 'Auto Scaling'.
█ Auto-Scaling
This indicator auto-scales spread bars to match the visible volume bars, unlike the previous "Volume Spread Analysis " version which limited the number of visible spread bars to a fixed count. The auto-scaling feature allows for easier navigation through historical data, enabling both more historical spread bars to be viewed and more historical VSA pattern labels being displayed without requiring using the bar replay tool. Please note that this indicator’s auto-scaling feature recalculates the visible bars on the chart, causing the indicator to reload whenever the chart is moved.
Auto-scaled spread bars have two display options (set via 'Spread Bars Method' setting):
Lines: a bar lookback limit of 500 bars.
Polylines: no bar lookback limit as only plotted on visible bars on chart, which uses multiple polylines are used.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and spread bars that consist of color coded levels, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.
