Volume Pulse [ziksfx]

Volume Pulse [ziksfx] is a clean volume indicator designed to make it easier to read meaningful changes in activity without cluttering your chart. It enhances the standard volume view by supporting both classic volume and dollar volume, highlighting spikes and extreme bars and adding a compact label on the latest bar so you always see the current volume value at a glance. The script is intended to be used in a separate volume pane.

How it works
– Supports two modes: standard volume or dollar volume (close × volume).
– Colors volume bars by candle direction (up/down). Optionally, it can:
• highlight volume spikes above a moving average;
• mark the highest-volume bar over a user-defined lookback period.
– Plots a simple moving average of volume so you can quickly see when activity is above or below typical levels.
– On the latest bar, shows a small label with the current volume value, automatically abbreviated (K / M / B) and optionally prefixed with “$” in dollar-volume mode.

Inputs & customization
– Volume type: choose between standard volume and dollar volume.
– Volume MA length: controls how sensitive the moving average is to recent changes in activity.
– Spike highlighting: optional, turns on/off coloring for bars where volume exceeds the moving average.
– Highest-volume bar lookback: sets the period for detecting the highest-volume bar.
– Label position: choose whether the last-bar label appears on the left or right side of the bar, and optionally shift it slightly above the bar for better readability.

Use cases
Use Volume Pulse [ziksfx] to:
– Spot sudden spikes in volume and compare them to the recent average.
– Identify sessions or candles with unusually high activity relative to a chosen TF.
– Visually study how volume behaves around price moves, breakouts or potential fakeouts to better understand their strength or weakness.
– Keep track of the latest bar’s volume instantly, without having to read the raw scale values.

This indicator works on any symbol that has volume data (stocks, futures, crypto and more), but volume quality may vary between markets and instruments.
