OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT

Smart Money Volume Activity [AlgoAlpha]

1 087
🟠OVERVIEW
This tool visualizes how Smart Money and Retail participants behave through lower-timeframe volume analysis. It detects volume spikes far beyond normal activity, classifies them as institutional or retail, and projects those zones as reactive levels. The script updates dynamically with each bar, showing when large players enter while tracking whether those events remain profitable. Each event is drawn as a horizontal line with bubble markers and summarized in a live P/L table comparing Smart Money versus Retail.

🟠CONCEPTS
The core logic uses Z-score normalization on lower-timeframe volumes (like 5m inside a 1h chart). This lets the script detect statistically extreme bursts of buying or selling activity. It classifies each detected event as:
  • Smart Money — volume inside the candle body (suggesting hidden accumulation or distribution)
  • Retail — volume closing at bar extremes (suggesting chase entries or panic exits)

When new events appear, the script plots them as horizontal levels that persist until price interacts again. Each level acts as a potential reaction zone or liquidity footprint. The integrated P/L table then measures which class (Retail or Smart Money) is currently “winning” — comparing cumulative profitable versus losing volume.

🟠FEATURES
  1. Classifies flows into Smart Money or Retail based on candle-body context.

🟠USAGE
  1. Setup: Add the script to any chart. Set Lower Timeframe Value (e.g., “5” for 5m) smaller than your main chart timeframe. The Period input controls how many bars are analyzed for the Z-score baseline. The Threshold (|Z|) decides how extreme a volume must be to plot a level.

  2. Read the chart: Horizontal lines mark where heavy Smart or Retail volume occurred. Bright bubbles show the strongest events — their size reflects Z-score intensity. The on-chart table updates live: green cells show profitable flows, red cells show losing flows. A dominant green Smart Money row suggests institutions are currently controlling price.

  4. Settings that matter: Raising Threshold (|Z|) filters noise, showing only large players. Increasing Period smooths results but reacts slower to new bursts. Use Show = “Both” for full comparison or isolate “Smart Money” / “Retail” to focus on one class.
