[VC] Box Chart Histogram V1.0V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta that correlates to another indicator named ''V.C Box Chart Index'' .
(In other words, ''V.C Box Chart Histogram'' & ''V.C Box Chart Index'' are correlated.)
V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta as histogram based on ''V.C Box Chart Index''. Combining these two indicators empowers you to see the cumulative demand & supply / cumulative buying & selling quantity of each box.
You can also switch from cumulative delta mode to cumulative delta % from input settings. See the difference between simple delta & delta % mode from these examples.
Simple Delta Mode (Cumulative Demand & Supply)
In the above example, green & red boxes on the histogram show the cumulative delta of each box from the main chart. In simple words, these boxes show the cumulative net demand & supply of the corresponding box from the main chart. In this example, Big green boxes indicate demand is increasing, whereas small red boxes indicate that supply is decreasing.
Delta % Mode (Cumulative Volume-Weighted Demand & Supply)
Similar to the simple delta mode, in the above example, blue & red boxes on the histogram show the cumulative delta % of each box from the main chart. In simple words, these boxes show the cumulative & volume-weighted demand & supply of the corresponding box from the main chart.
In this example, Big blue boxes indicate that demand is increasing, whereas small red boxes indicate that supply is decreasing.

V.C Box Chart Histogram is not a Buy/Sell signal based indicator or a holy grail trading system. It is purely a leading indicator that can help you to analyse demand & supply and buying & selling forces of the market in a smart & effortless way. Before applying this indicator to your analysis, you should have some basic knowledge about volume, delta, & supply & demand. Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.

[VC] Wave Chart Index V1.0V.C Wave Chart Index
Richard D. Wyckoff created the first wave chart, and he instructed students to think in waves. He was an early 20th-century pioneer in the technical approach to studying the stock market and is considered one of the five "titans" of technical analysis, along with Dow, Gann, Elliott and Merrill.
V.C Wave Chart Index is the most comprehensive version of Wyckoff's theory. It is used to measure the strength & weakness of each market move by comparative data analysis. It draws waves on the chart based on Gann Swing theory. At the end of each wave, a label shows all the cumulative data & information of the wave.
With the help of this indicator, You can measure each swing or high/low movement of the market by comparing it with previous high/low price movements. The comparison can be made by using the following data of each wave.
Price Change
Volume Change
Delta Change
Delta % Change
Buy Volume
Sell Volume
Time Spent (Bar Counter)
V.C Wave Chart Index is not only an indicator but itself a unique & comprehensive tool kit to measure & compare each move of the market. This tool enables you to see deep inside each movement of the market. It allows you to observe the nitty-gritty data of each wave at the micro-level with your nacked eyes. With the help of Delta & (C.C) Close to Close Price Change, it is now easy to apply effort & result and cause & effect theory to your analysis. (total volume, buy volume, sell volume & delta % can also be used for comparative analysis)
V.C Wave Chart Index Properties
Price Change or (P.C): Shows the price Change of the Wave
Buy Volume (B.V): Shows the Cumulative Buy Volume of the Wave
Sell Volume (S.V): Shows the Cumulative Sell Volume of the Wave
Delta Volume (∆): Shows the Cumulative Buy - Sell Volume of the Wave
Delta % ∆ : Shows the Cumulative Delta % of the wave
Total Volume (T.V): Shows the Cumulative Total Volume of the Wave
Bar Count (B.C): Shows how much time it took to Complete the Wave
Swing Price: Shows the Reversal Price of the Wave
V.C Wave Chart Index Settings & Inputs Explained
Sensitivity (%): This input helps you adjust to the wave's steepness. 0.001 is my recommended value for all time frames.
Cumulation: This input helps you to control the length & formation of the wave: ( the fewer values = more wave formations & vice versa)
Wave Color: Allow you to change the color of the wave
Draw to Latest Candle: Allow you to show/hide the latest or real-time wave & data.
Divisor: Allow you to divide extensive numeric data into small numbers to read it easily.
Align Text: Allow you to align the text.
Size Text: Allow you to change the size of the text.

Display Swing Price Change (P.C): Allow you to show/hide price change
Display Close to Close Price Change (C.C): Allow you to show/hide close to close price changes. (previous wave close to current wave close) (recommended for comparative analysis)
P.C Format: Allow you to select the price formate
C.C Format: Allow you to select the price formate
Display Bar Counter (B.C): Allow you to show/hide the bar counter
Comparative Data Analysis Example in the light of Effort & Result Theory
A short explanation of the above analysis
On Wave A , the close to close price change (C.C) is $354 . (its the distance of price that price travelled from the low of the previous wave)
and price travelled this distance with 632 Delta (Delta is an effort which is used to travel the price)
On Wave B , close to close price change (C.C) is -$359 , almost the same distance as the previous wave. But for this distance price used 47% more Delta than the last wave. ( previous Delta is 632 , but current Delta is 931 that is 47% extra)
It indicates that sellers have put more effort in Wave B than Wave A . However, they got similar results as the previous wave. In other words
More Effort & Less Result = Reversal Sign
(that's why in the above example price reversed from a support level)
* Notice that Wave B is also on a key support area/level. And on key support or resistance area, this kind of comparative analysis can give an extra edge in your analysis.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Wave Chart Index is not a BUY/SELL signal based indicator or a holy grail trading system.
It is purely Volume, Delta and comparative analysis based indicator. Before applying this indicator to your analysis, you should know about V.S.A, Volume, Delta & Spread.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
Waddah Attar Explosion V3 [NHK] -Bollinger - MACDWaddah Attar Explosion Version3 indicator to work in Forex and Crypto, This indicator oscillates above and below zero and the Bollinger band is plotted over the MACD Histogram to take quick decisions, Colors are changed for enhanced look. dead zone is plotted in a background area and option is provided to hide dead zone. One can easily detect sideways market movement using Bollinger band and volume. when volume is in between Bollinger band no trades are to be taken as volume is low and market moving in sideways

This is a port of a famous MT4 indicator. This indicator uses MACD /BB to track trend direction and strength. Author suggests using this indicator on 30mins.
Explanation from the indicator developer:
"Various components of the indicator are:
Dead Zone Line: Works as a filter for weak signals. Do not trade when the up or down histogram is in between Dead Zone.
Histograms:
- Pink histogram shows the current down trend.
- Blue histogram shows the current up trend.
- Sienna line / Bollinger Band shows the explosion in price up or down.
Signal for ENTER_BUY: All the following conditions must be met.
- Blue histogram is raising.
- Blue histogram above Explosion line.
- Explosion line raising.
- Both Blue histogram and Explosion line above DeadZone line.
Signal for EXIT_BUY: Exit when Blue histogram crosses below Explosion line / Bollinger Band.
Signal for ENTER_SELL: All the following conditions must be met.
- Pink histogram is raising.
- Pink histogram above Explosion line.
- Explosion line raising.
- Both Pink histogram and Explosion line above DeadZone line.
Signal for EXIT_SELL: Exit when Pink histogram crosses below Explosion line.
All of the parameters are configurable via options page. You may have to tune it for your instrument.
VPLineVPLine is a brand-new line indicator which automatically draws historical POC line with volume profile histograms based on user input session and configurations.
A colossal amount of function is deployed on the indicator: historical POC line, historical VA, historical VA high/low, volume profile histograms, volume profile value text (bid/ask/total), threshold function that limits the extension of the POC line based on user input etc.
Bogdan Ciocoiu - MakaveliDescription
This indicator integrates the functionality of multiple volume price analysis algorithms whilst aligning their scales to fit in a single chart.
Having such indicators loaded enables traders to take advantage of potential divergences between the price action and volume related volatility.
Users will have to enable or disable alternative algorithms depending on their choice.
Uniqueness
This indicator is unique because it combines multiple algorithm-specific two-volume analyses with price volatility.
This indicator is also unique because it amends different algorithms to show output on a similar scale enabling traders to observe various volume-analysis tools simultaneously whilst allocating different colour codes.
Open source re-use
This indicator utilises the following open-source scripts:
Bogdan Ciocoiu - GreuceanuDescription
This indicator is an entry-level script that simplifies volume interpretation for beginning traders.
It is a handy tool that removes all the noise and focuses traders on identifying potential smart money injections.
Uniqueness
This indicator is unique because it introduces the principle of a moving average in the context of volume and then compares it with tick-based volume.
Its uniqueness is reflected in the ability to colour code each volume bar based on the intensity of each relevant (volume) unit whilst comparing it with the volume moving average.
Another benefit of this indicator is the colour coding scheme that removes volume below a particular threshold (default set to 1) under the volume moving average.
In addition to the above features, the indicator differentiates the colour of each bar by price direction.
Open source re-use
To achieve this functionality several open source indicators have been used an integrated within the current one.
Volume Strength FinderGenerally, Volume indicator shows total Volume of a candle. In this Volume Strength Finder Indicator, I tried to separate Strength of buyers and sellers based on the candle stick pattern. Calculating Buyer and Seller Strength each and every candle of the day based on the pattern formation.
High - close => Buyers
Close - low => Sellers
in this way, cumulative volume separates for buyer and sellers and comparing with total volume of the day and showing results.
if buyer strength more than seller, candle bar color remains green even a candle is negative candle(Open>close) and wise versa.
Note: This is for Education Purpose only.
Correlation of Price Spread and VolumeCorrelation between candle's price spread (length of candle of each bar) and volume.
Generally, increases in volume precede significant price movements. However, If the price is rising in an uptrend but the volume is reducing, it may show that there’s little interest in the instrument, and the price may reverse.
The closer the correlation is to 1.0, indicates the instruments will move up and down together as it is expected with volume and price spread. So the correlation Indicator aims to display when the price spread and volume is in correlation and not. Blue color represent positive correlation while orange negative correlation. The strength of the correlation is determined by the width of the bands.
Candle Color by VolumeA simple but effective indicator that paints candles with different shades of colors based on the volume transacted.
-> Supports 6 levels of sensitivity at present. Might enhance the granularity later.
-> Darkest indicates the most volume transacted. Lightest, the least. Change it around however you see fit and based on your theme.
-> Use it for your Volume Spread Analysis and/or in conjunction with any other strategies that you employ.
-> Note that the volume ratio is calculated relative to the average volume of the last n candles ( EMA 20 by default).
Volume Zones Multi-Timeframe OverlayAt its core, this indicator is a variation of my other indicator, Welkin Advanced Volume Overlay (for VSA )
This version is based on the power of multi-timeframe analysis. The basic functionality is simple: Plot lines from the high and low of candles formed during periods of high volume and fill the space between them. The volume levels for deciding what counts as "high volume" are based on standard deviations of the volume's SMA , and the higher the volume , the brighter the zone. i.e., a volume zone set by a volume level that is 4 standard deviations higher than average will be more "filled in" and less transparent than a volume zone from a 2 standard deviation candle.
These zones tend to act as areas of congestion, and the "ceilings" and "floors" of the zones as support and resistance . Overlapping zones tend to indicate strength and are likely to require more effort to get through. The more timeframes that agree with each other, the stronger the zone, ceiling, or floor.
By default, these zones are drawn based on the chart's timeframe and 1 timeframe higher, automatically set based on some "standard" values:
1m -> 5m
5m -> 15m
10m -> 30m
15m -> 60m
30m -> 60m
60m -> 1d
1d -> 1w
Finally, both the base timeframe and the higher timeframe are customizable; this is intended to make it easy to "double" up copies of the indicator to fit even more timeframes on the chart, creating a sort of heatmap for volume price analysis.
An example of three copies of the indicator, showing volume zones from 6 different timeframes.
TradeGuider VSA Relative VolumeThe TradeGuider VSA Lite package is designed for those traders who want to trade in harmony with the professionals (‘smart money’) and is based on Tom Williams’ Volume Spread Analysis methodology ( VSA ). It works in any market and any time frame. The trader can use it as a standalone toolkit to support their trading decisions, or in conjunction with other trading tools to obtain additional confirmations.
The package consists of two parts:
TradeGuider VSA Lite indicator
TradeGuider Relative Volume indicator
Together with the TradeGuider VSA Lite indicator, the TradeGuider VSA Relative Volume indicator helps to determine the interaction between supply and demand as well as assisting traders in their trading decisions. In the VSA methodology all analysis is based on Relative Volume . This means that the exact values of the volume on the price bars are not nearly as important as their volume in relation to the previous volume bars. The following classifications of Relative Volume are used in VSA:
Ultra High Volume
Very High Volume
High Volume
Average Volume
Low Volume
Very Low Volume
Users can easily see how any volume bar is classified by observing which color band in the volume indicator is reached by the top of any given volume bar.
Price bars where the volume is Ultra High very often begin the VSA Setup, while price bars on Low or Very Low Volume can be the confirmation and end the VSA Setup.
Using this indicator, users may also observe bullish (when price falls and volume decreases) and bearish (when price rises and volume decreases) behavior.

The trader can use it as a standalone toolkit to support their trading decisions, or in conjunction with other trading tools to obtain additional confirmations.
The package consists of two parts:
TradeGuider VSA Lite indicator
TradeGuider Relative Volume indicator
The TradeGuider VSA Lite indicator provides information about the imbalance between supply and demand on the price charts via VSA principles. The VSA principles introduced in this indicator can be divided into two groups: Signs of Strength (SOS) and Signs of Weakness (SOW). The following six VSA principles are implemented:
SOSs: Potential Professional Buying (PB), Shakeout (SO), Test (TE)
SOWs: Potential Professional Selling (PS), Upthrust (UT), No Demand (ND)
VSA principles ARE NOT BUY and SELL SIGNALS on their own, but in combination may create VSA Setups to the long and short sides which are used in the VSA methodology to identify low-risk entries into, and optimal exits from, a trade.
A potential VSA Setup to the long side means that strength is presented on that particular chart at the current moment and the following conditions are present:
Potential Professional Buying (PB) is found in the background.
The price has risen above the high of the Potential Professional Buying (PB).
The price behavior has changed to the upside (the Short Term Trending Tool is changing color from red to gray or green).
The confirmation (a Test) is identified.
With a VSA Setup to the long side and strength on higher time frames, the price very often moves higher and the user may trade it.
A potential VSA Setup to the short side means that weakness is presented on that particular chart at the current moment and the following conditions are present:
Potential Professional Selling (PS) is found in the background.
The price has moved below the low of the Potential Professional Selling (PS).
The price behavior has changed to the downside (the Short Term Trending Tool is changing color from green to gray or red).
The confirmation (a No Demand) is identified.
With a VSA Setup to the short side and weakness on higher time frames, the price very often moves lower and the user may trade it.
The TradeGuider VSA Lite indicator is equipped with alerts which, when set, inform users of VSA Setups as they appear.
See the Author's instructions below to get access to this package and the accompanying documentation.

VPA - 5.0 This is a upgraded version of the vpa analysis script which basically implements Volume Spread Analysis (aka Volume Price analysis). It has been rechristened as VPA 5.0 to be inline with version released for Amiboker package so that all future upgrades will go hand in hand. All most all featured of the Amibroker version has been incorporated in this version. Some important additions are as follows
1. A status window for the bar and Trend Description added. No need to plot the trend bands or additional trend Indicator any more.
2. The most important upgrade would be the addition of a Alert window which provides description of the VSA signals. It is also a log window which provides up to 10 last signals
(Credits to Quantnomad for this wonderful piece of code. This feature is an adaptation of his public code)
3. Added facility to plot EMAs / PEMAs with changable parameters
4. Added facility to plot VWAP
5. Facility to switch on and Off the VSA signals. Also tool tip provides description of the signals
6. Facility to plot Resistance and Volume Lines (Credits to @margepadu)
Hope this script will be helpful to everyone. Please do provide your feedback and suggestions for improvements
Realtime Volume Stats Panel w Delta, Buy/Sell%, Cumulative DeltaWhat is it?
Displays several realtime volume stats for each bar/candle.
Although it was originally created to be an assist tool for the Market Footprint (available as a separate indicator) to consolidate the numbers into a neat panel below, it can be used independently as an Orderflow Analysis tool as well.
It currently displays the following:
(1) Net Delta Volume for the bar; (2) Total Volume for the bar; (3) Cumulative Delta Volume for bars plotted up till this point (i.e., from the time the tool started collecting realtime data);
(4) Buy Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar; and, (5) Sell Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar.
All labels/colors etc. are configurable to suit your aesthetics.
All data are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REAL-TIME BARS. The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays, and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time (a) any of the options is changed, (b) the market is switched, (c) the browser is refreshed, or (d) the script is reloaded
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded, the previous symbol's data is lost. So if you intend to monitor a symbol closely, you would need to keep it loaded all the time (and without tinkering with any of the Settings).
Who is it for?
For ultra short term traders who are used to looking at short term auction orderflow (and price action) to catch buy/sell anomalies and accurate trade entries
For traders who are already using Market Footprint but want the volume stats to be displayed on the bottom pane making for a cleaner interface.
For traders (, irrespective of their method of trading,) who wish to understand what is happening under the hood when a certain price action unfolds. (Who is in control, who got trapped, what does liquidity or the lack thereof look like, etc.)
Realtime Volume Bars w Market Buy/Sell/Neutral split & Mkt Delta
What is it?
A tool that shows Real-time Volume bars split into 3 components: (1) Market Buy Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted on upticks; (2) Market Sell Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted on downticks;
and, (3) Neutral Volume - i.e., the volume that got transacted without a change in price. (This feature can be turned off if you want normal volume bars).
Market delta (i.e., Market Buy Volume - Market Sell Volume) is also displayed above each volume bar. (On by default; can be switched off from Settings)
The split and Market Delta data are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REAL-TIME BARS. Historical bars are shown just like regular ones. The dotted line marks the start of real-time data (i.e., the bar from which the indicator started collecting and displaying data). You will see accurate data for bars to the right of this line. The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays, and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time any of the options is changed, the market is switched, the browser is refreshed, or the script is reloaded
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded, the previous symbol's data is lost. So if you intend to monitor a symbol, you would need to keep it loaded all the time.
Who is it for?
For traders who are used to analyzing buy/sell activity using market buy/sell volume and market delta information
Although you can use this independently as well, use it in conjunction with "Market Delta Volume for Realtime Bars" indicator to get a better visual representation of the numbers.
Market Delta Volume for Realtime BarsWhat is it?
Market Delta Volume Tool for real-time bars
A market delta tool that shows, (1) the volume that got transacted on upticks - or the market buy volume; (2) the volume that got transacted on downticks - or the market sell volume (3) the market delta volume (i.e., market buy volume - market sell volume); (4) the total volume (market buy volume + market sell volume + neutral volume); and (4) the volume that got transacted without a change in price - or the neutral volume (total volume = market buy volume + market sell volume + neutral volume)
NOTE: THIS WORKS ONLY ON REAL-TIME BARS, NOT ON HISTORICAL BARS! The dotted line marks the start of real-time data (i.e., the bar from which the indicator started collecting and displaying data). You will see accurate data only for bars to the right of this line.
The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time any of the options is changed, the market is switched, the browser is refreshed, or the script is reloaded.
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded/or the same symbol is reloaded, data gets refreshed.
Who is it for?
For traders who are used to analyzing buy/sell activity using market delta information. Especially, short-term trader/scalpers who are used to keeping the same chart open through the trading session.
Also for traders to see and study how anomalies in volume can give clues to buyer/seller absorption, initiative buying/selling etc.
Can be used to better understand VSA as well, although not necessary.
Essentially, this gives real-time delta volume information; use it however you see fit.
Volume Profile Array's [fikira]Inspired by © IldarAkhmetgaleev (AkhIL) - "Poor man's volume profile" - "PMVolProf"
He did a fantastic job on "Volume Profile"!
My script is about making this with array's
Settings:
- period (last x bars) for calculation
- max width (visible horizontal range)
- amount of sections (vertical sections; to many sections can give an error -> lower the sections in that case)
Setting "high/low", "close":
- "high/low"
-> the volume of every bar (in the period) which low is lower than a particular section and which high is higher than that section is added to that section
- "close"
-> here the volume of every bar (in the period) which close closes in the range of a particular section is added to that section
The orange/blue coloured "Volume lines" are the highest/lowest values above and below present close
(can be used as Support/resistance )
"Only show max/min" shows only the orange/blue Volume lines
The period and highest/lowest is show by 2 thin blue lines
Color, line width is adjustable
Cheers!
Welkin Advanced Volume Study (for VSA)This is a translation of Welkin's Advanced Volume Study Indicator originally written for ThinkOrSwim. This version is simpler than Welkin's and attempts to streamline that basic functionality for beginners to Volume Spread Analysis.
This can be used to replace the built-in volume bar with a more advanced version that is designed to facilitate Volume Spread Analysis. The basic idea is to clearly call out areas of high and low volume that help a trader determine where to "Smart Money" may be attempting to move the market. Volume is an incredible powerful tool for the retail trader; learn how to use it.
Grey bar are Below Average volume .
Blue bars are Average Volume , from a 20sma of volume .
Orange bars are 2-sigma (or 2 standard deviations) above average.
Magenta bars are 3-sigma (3 standard deviations) above average.
The plotted lines represent these levels.
Yellow bars have relatively higher volume compared to the previous bar.
The study can also apply these same colors to the price candles themselves, as well as showing buying and selling pressure of the volume bars.
Welkin Advanced Volume Overlay (for VSA)This is a PineScript translation of Welkin's Advanced Volume Indicator Overlay, originally written for ThinkOrSwim. This tool is designed to facilitate Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) by highlighting areas of above average volume alongside price movement.
This indicator does two things:
1. Plots lines that extend from candles of above average, high, and very high volume.
2. Colors in candles with colors indicating volume levels (when "Paint Candles With Volume Colors" is enabled).
Blue lines mark candles with Average volume, based on a 20 SMA.
Orange lines mark 2-sigma (2 times standard deviations higher) volume.
Magenta lines mark 3-sigma (3 times standard deviations higher) volume.
When enabled, gray colored candles indicate below average volume.
Yellow candles indicate volume that is relatively higher than the previous candle, default is 1.25x.
Comparison Chart with Relative Volume Gradient CandlesThis indicator provides a way to use Relative Volume Gradient Paintbars on an alternate/comparison symbol while still looking at your main charted symbol. For instance, this allows you to plot the ES1! or SPY or QQQ above/below your charted symbol, and see its current Relative Volume signal, and compare that to the your currently-charted individual stock symbol, etc., and while keeping the candles from both symbols all lined up perfectly. It also provides 4 different custom MAs which can be applied to the comparison symbol.
The idea here is that you can potentially use my other indicator, Relative Volume Gradient Paintbars, on the primary symbol to evaluate that chart, while using this particular indicator to quickly analyze the same Relative Volume data on a comparison market symbol such as the SPY or QQQ without having to switch charted symbols. You can also quickly compare price action and location relative to familiar moving averages to quickly gauge relative strength of the stock vs. the market symbol.
Applied Volume Spread Analysis [VSA and VPA]Tried to work over Volume Spread Analysis concepts
The Script Helps one figure out the analysis of Price Volume as per the Tom William's book "Mastering the Markets"
with some of my modifications to find out volumetric level of judgement,
You can see The notifications of a pattern on the chart,
Also gray and black lines which you see are the volumetric derived price action levels!
Some definitions
Up Thrusts
Up-thrusts are designed to catch stops and to mislead as many traders as possible. They are normally seen after there has been weakness in the background. The market makers know that the market is weak, so the price is marked up to catch stops, encourage traders to go long in a weak market, AND panic traders that are already Short into covering their very good position
upthrust bar at high volume is a sure sign of weakness. One may even seriously consider ending the Longs AND be ready to reverse. Also note that when A wide spreaddown-bar that appears immediately after any up-thrust, tends to confirm the weakness (the market makers are locking in traders into poor positions). With the appearance of an upthrust you should certainly be paying attention to your trade AND your stops. On many upthrusts you will find that the market will 'test' almost immediately. A wide spread down bar following a Upthrust Bar.This confirms weakness. The Smart Money is locking in Traders into poor positions.
Strength Bar
The stock has been in a down Trend. An upbar with higher Volume closing near the High is a sign of strength returning. The downtrend is likely to reverse soon. when the volume is very much above average. This makes this indication more stronger.
Pseudo Up Thrust
A pseudo Upthrust. This normally appears after an Up Bar with above average volume. This looks like an upthrust bar closing down near the Low. But the Volume is normally Lower than average. this is a sign of weakness.If the Volume is High then weakness increases. Smart Money is trying to trap the retailers into bad position. A downbar after a pseudo Upthrust Confirms weakness. If the volume is above average the weakness is increased.
Low Volume Test applied
The previous bar was a successful Test of supply. The current bar is a upbar with higher volume. This confirms strength
Trend Change
The stock has been moving up on high volume. The current bar is a Downbar with high volume. Indicates weakness and probably end of the up move
Effort Up
Effort to Rise bar. This normally found in the beginning of a Markup Phase and is bullish sign.These may be found at the top of an Upmove as the Smart money makes a last effort to move the price to the maximum
Effort Down
Effort to Fall bar. This normally found in the beginning of a Markdown phase.
No Supply Bar
No Supply. A no supply bar indicates supply has been removed and the Smart money can markup the price. It is better to wait for confirmation
Stopping Volume
This will be an downbar during a bearish period closing towards the Top accompanied by High volume. A stopping Volume normally indicates that smart money is absorbing the supply which is a Indication that they are Bullishon the MArket.Hence we Can expect a reversal in the down trend.
No Demand Bar
Any up bar which closes in the middle OR Low, especially if the Volume has fallen off, is a potential sign of weakness. Things to Look Out for: if the market is still strong, you will normally see signs of strength in the next few bars, which will most probably show itself as a Down bar with a narrow spread, closing in the middle OR High. * Down bar on Low Volume.

Plotted EMA Ribbon gives a sense of the strength of momentum. When each MA is placed with wide gaps momentum is strong. When there is EMA confluence, chances of trend strength are weakening. Background color of the chart green indicates bullishness in the underlying and red indicates that bearish pressure in the scrip. If the background color is green and you see one Blue/Green star candle it's good to go long. If the background color is red and you see one Red/Pink star candle it's good to go short.
A word of caution: Trading breakouts is very good. But you need to prepare for breakout failures. Here the system picks wide range bars for going long or short that means SL is wide probably 3% and above. Also if you notice after a strong PV breakout if price sustains below that it can see long unwinding pressure and simillary after a strong PV breakdown, if price sustains above the breakdown candle, chances of short covering is higher. Here money management and risk management becomes very important. Same has been included as part of the indicator to give you an optimal quantity for trade to keep the drawdowns lower. If you enable (1) RECO message and (2) Show Strategy (Else Study)? options then it shows a RECO box with quantity calculated as per 2% loss per trade rule. Lot of risk management, scale up/down for compounding is also available. You may try out those options one by one.

VSA + Volume Oscillator [@TradersVenue]Volume is very crucial while trading, as it indicates the participants interest in the script. Focus is to look for the high volume candles which had a significant price action to initiate a trade on the scrip. This volume indicator combines the VSA signals along with volume and highlights price action using different symbols.
Highlights:
Major Sign of Strength (SoS) - Downthrust Bar supported by momentum & in the direction of trend (Green Star Under the candle)
Any candle highlighted with a Green star is a solid breakout candle where price volume action indicates that participants wants the price to move up. This is normally a wide range bar with ultra high volume closing near the upper part of the candle. Also the trend and momentum favours the breakout which is identified using MA & RSI to support the bullish case.
Major Sign of Weakness (SoW) - Upthrust Bar supported by momentum & in the direction of trend (Red Star Under the candle)
Any candle highlighted with a Red star is a solid breakdown candle where price volume action indicates that participants wants the price to move down. This is normally a wide range bar with ultra high volume closing near the lower part of the candle. Also the trend and momentum favours the breakout which is identified using MA & RSI to support the bullish case.
Normally prefer trading the scrip in the direction of breakout or breakdown after noticing a starcandle. Apart from that there are some important VSA signals for which quick cheet sheet is given below.
Sign of Strength (SoS) - Green Star/Circle/Square
Sign of Weakness (SoW) - Red Star/Circle/Square
Circle represents - Stopping Volume (SV) if green, Supply Overcomes Demand (SoD) if red.
Square represents a TrendReversal (TR), if green bullish, if red bearish
Apart from that you can view the volumes either in the form of oscillator which is calculated basis the standard deviation or normal volumes. Deep Green/Green volume bars represent high volume green candle. Deep Red/Red candle represents high volume sell candle. Pink and blue candles are those where volume action is low or negligible to take any trade basis that. Prefer using the indicator with default settings.
Price action is least lagging indicator as compared to other indicators. And as usual no indicator has 100% success rate. So I urge all users not to consider this as a holy grail. This indicator need to be used along with the VSA signal indicator (which can be plotted on the chart) and RSI indicator which is provided as full VSA trading setup for swing trades.
