This indicator aims at responding the question: is the current trend supported by volume?
The concept and formula
The central concept is the Effective Volume, calculated as follow:
How to use it
This indicator should be used for trend confirmation.
For an uptrend, the bigger the indicator value, the greater the volume support, while for a downtrend, the lower the indicator value, the greater the volume support.
Divergences are also important, as with every volume indicator.
The concept and formula
The central concept is the Effective Volume, calculated as follow:
effectiveVolume = volume * (close - open) / (high - low)Then the Effective Volume Z-Score indicator is calculated by smoothing the effective volume and applying the z-score function:
zscore(x) = (x - mean) / stdevEssentially, the indicator's value represents the number of standard deviations of the effective volume away from the mean.

Update default settings
릴리즈 노트:
The Average Effective Volume Z-Score is now visible by default.

Messing with the default settings again
릴리즈 노트:
The effective volume is no longer smoothed before applying the z-score function, only after.
릴리즈 노트:
Revert to the original concept: apply z-score on the smoothed effective volume
