스크립트에서 "VOLUME BAR"에 대해 찾기
Volume Bulls vs Bears (Improved)The "Volume Bulls vs Bears (Improved)" is a raw and powerful volume-based indicator for TradingView that visualizes market participation by separating volume into "bullish" and "bearish" components. It provides a clear and visually appealing stacked histogram alongside a moving average of total volume, helping traders identify trends in market participation.
Key Features
Bullish vs Bearish Volume Separation:
Bullish Volume: Represents the portion of volume contributed by buyers (when prices move up).
Bearish Volume: Represents the portion of volume contributed by sellers (when prices move down).
Volume is calculated based on price action within the range of the candle:
Bulls = ((Close - Low) / (High - Low)) * Total Volume
Bears = ((High - Close) / (High - Low)) * Total Volume
Stacked Histogram:
Bullish and bearish volumes are plotted as a stacked histogram.
Bull Color: Green (default).
Bear Color: Red (default).
This makes it easy to spot shifts in volume dominance between bulls and bears.
Volume SMA:
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) of total volume over a user-defined period helps smooth out fluctuations and shows overall volume trends.
Default period is 20 bars.
SMA Line: Yellow (default), adjustable in width.
User-Customizable Inputs:
Volume SMA Period: Adjust the lookback period for the moving average.
Bull/Bear Colors: Customizable histogram colors.
SMA Line Color and Width: Allows flexibility for better chart aesthetics.
Non-Overlapping Visuals:
The histogram avoids overlap, ensuring clarity by visually stacking bullish and bearish volumes.
How to Use the Indicator
Identify Bullish Volume Dominance:
If the green (bullish) volume bars are larger, it indicates stronger buying pressure within the candle range.
Identify Bearish Volume Dominance:
If the red (bearish) volume bars are larger, it signals stronger selling pressure.
Volume Trend:
Use the Volume SMA line to identify whether overall volume is increasing, decreasing, or staying stable. Rising volume typically strengthens trends, while declining volume can indicate weakness.
Use Cases
Spotting volume trends that confirm price movements (e.g., rising prices with rising bullish volume).
Recognizing potential reversals when bearish volume starts dominating previously bullish candles.
Identifying accumulation or distribution phases by analyzing volume behavior.

Gross and Net LTF Volume + Trailing Percentile Sessions CVOL Hi Traders !
Gross volume, net lower time frame (LTF) volume and trailing session percentile Cumulative session volume:
The code calculates and plots the following volume indicators:
Volume (Gross Volume): The total volume for the current bar.
Net lower time frame volume: The difference between the buy and sell volumes of the lower time frame.
Cumulative daily session volume: The cumulative sum of the volume for the current day.
Percentile Cumulative daily session volume: The percentile of the cumulative daily session volume (calculated on a rolling basis).
The above indicators may be plotted exclusively or exclusively.
Why is Volume important:
Volume is the number of shares or contracts traded (of a financial asset) during a given time period (timeframe). It is a crucial indicator in technical analysis and quantitative trading, as volume helps in identifying
Price Confirmation: Volume confirms price movements by indicating the level of interest and participation in the market. When prices move significantly, accompanied by strong volume, it suggests that the movement is likely to be sustained. Conversely, if prices move without significant volume, it suggests that the movement may be temporary or lacking conviction.
Trend Strength: Volume can help identify the strength and direction of a trend. During an uptrend, increasing volume alongside price increases indicates that the upward momentum is gaining traction. Conversely, decreasing volume during an uptrend suggests that the upward momentum may be weakening.
Reversal Points: Sharp volume spikes in the opposite direction of the prevailing trend can signal a potential reversal point. This is because large volume indicates a significant shift in trader sentiment, suggesting that the trend may be changing direction.
Liquidity: High volume indicates that a security is liquid, meaning that it can be easily bought and sold without significant price impact. Liquidity is important for traders who want to execute large orders without significantly affecting the market price.
For example, suppose we want to identify positive price confirmation and positive trend strength, in this case we may use the CVOL (with trailing percentile).
The above image showcases price expansion conditional on high positive volume (increasing CVOL), The price expansion also exhibits Volume confluences (the colored bars).
Positive Confluence: Increase in positive total volume and an increase in positive lower time frame volume in relative and absolute terms.
Negative Confluence : Increase in negative total volume and an increase in negative lower time frame volume in relative and absolute terms.
Also note how the percentile color does not change, this means that the new volume bars are > than the highest percentile (80%) of volume values from the beginning of the session.
Buy/Sell EMA CandleThis indicator is designed to display various technical indicators, candle patterns, and trend directions on a price chart. Let's break down the code and explain its different sections:
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA):
The code calculates and plots five EMAs of different lengths (13, 21, 55, 90, and 200) on the price chart. These EMAs are used to identify trends and potential crossovers.
Engulfing Candle Patterns:
The code identifies and highlights potential bullish and bearish engulfing candle patterns. It checks if the current candle's body size is larger than the combined body sizes of the previous and subsequent four candles. If this condition is met, it marks the pattern on the chart.
s3.tradingview.com
EMA Crossovers:
The code identifies and highlights points where the shorter EMA (ema1) crosses above or below the longer EMA (ema2). It plots circles to indicate these crossover points.
Candle Direction and RSI Trend:
The code determines the trend direction of the last candle based on whether it closed higher or lower than its open price. It also calculates the RSI (Relative Strength Index) and determines its trend direction (overbought, oversold, or neutral) based on predefined thresholds.
s3.tradingview.com
Table Display:
The code creates a table displaying trend directions for different timeframes (monthly, weekly, daily, 4-hour, and 1-hour) for candle direction and RSI trends. The trends are labeled with "L" for long, "S" for short, and "N/A" for not applicable.
High Volume Bars (HVB):
The code identifies and colors bars with above-average volume as either bullish or bearish based on whether the price closed higher or lower than it opened. The color and conditions for high volume bars can be customized.
s3.tradingview.com
Doji Candle Pattern:
The code identifies and marks doji candle patterns, where the open and close prices are very close to each other within a certain percentage of the candle's high-low range.
RSI-Based Candle Coloring:
The code adjusts the color of the candles based on the RSI value. If the RSI value is above the overbought threshold or below the oversold threshold, the candles are colored yellow.
Usage and Interpretation:
Traders can use this indicator to identify potential trend changes based on EMA crossovers and candle patterns like engulfing and doji.
The RSI trend direction can provide additional insight into potential overbought or oversold conditions.
High volume bars can indicate potential price reversals or continuation patterns.
The table provides an overview of trend directions on different timeframes for both candle direction and RSI trends.
Keep in mind that this is a complex indicator with multiple features. Users should carefully evaluate its performance and consider combining it with other indicators and analysis methods for more accurate trading decisions.
The table is designed to provide a consolidated view of trend directions and other indicators across multiple timeframes. It is displayed on the chart and organized into rows and columns. Each row corresponds to a specific aspect of analysis, and each column corresponds to a different timeframe.
Here's a breakdown of the components of the table:
Row 1: Separation.
Row 2 (Header Row): This row contains the headers for the columns. The headers represent the different timeframes being analyzed, such as Monthly (M), Weekly (W), Daily (D), 4-hour (4h), and 1-hour (1h).
Row 3 (Content Row): This row contains labels indicating the types of information being displayed in the columns. The labels include "T" for Trend, "C" for Current Candle, and "R" for RSI Trend.
Row 4 and Onwards: These rows display the actual data for each aspect of analysis across different timeframes.
For each aspect of analysis (Trend, Current Candle, RSI Trend), the corresponding rows display the following information:
Monthly (M): The trend direction for the given aspect on the monthly timeframe.
Weekly (W): The trend direction for the given aspect on the weekly timeframe.
Daily (D): The trend direction for the given aspect on the daily timeframe.
4-hour (4h): The trend direction for the given aspect on the 4-hour timeframe.
1-hour (1h): The trend direction for the given aspect on the 1-hour timeframe.
The trend directions are represented by labels such as "L" for Long, "S" for Short, or "N/A" for Not Applicable.
The table's purpose is to provide a quick overview of trend directions and related information across multiple timeframes, aiding traders in making informed decisions based on the analysis of trend changes and other indicators.
Volume Delta (Expo)█ Overview
Volume Delta (Expo) is a trading tool that measures the difference between buying and selling volume in a given market. It is a powerful tool for analyzing volume clusters and price action, as it can help traders identify the direction and strength of the trend as well as potential volume-weighted support and resistance areas.
█ How is the Volume Delta calculated?
Volume Delta is calculated by subtracting the number of contracts traded on the bid from the number of contracts traded on the ask. A positive Volume Delta indicates that more contracts are being traded on the ask than on the bid, which suggests buying pressure. A negative Volume Delta indicates that more contracts are being traded on the bid than on the ask, which suggests selling pressure.
Note, our Volume Delta (Expo) uses intrabar analysis in combination with volume clusters which is a great approximation to calculating volume delta on TradingView. The tool is equipped with a unique volume-weighted cluster function to calculate the delta trend over time as well as a dynamic trend strength calculation.
█ How to Use Volume Delta to Analyze Volume Clusters
Volume clusters are areas of high volume that indicate a potential change in price direction. Once the clusters have been identified, traders can then use Volume Delta to measure the difference between buying and selling volume in the clusters.
If the buying volume is greater than the selling volume, it indicates that the price is likely to move higher. Conversely, if the selling volume is greater than the buying volume, it indicates that the price is likely to move lower.
In addition to measuring the difference between buying and selling volume, traders can also use Volume Delta to analyze price action. By looking at the volume clusters and the corresponding price action, traders can identify potential support and resistance levels.
█ How to use
The volume delta provides insight into market sentiment, as a rise in buying volume on a positive close indicates that bullish sentiment is strengthening, while a rise in selling volume on a negative close indicates that bearish sentiment is increasing. In addition, use volume delta to identify the direction and strength of the trend.
It's common among volume traders to use volume delta to confirm trends, identify reversals, divergences, and volume-weighted support and resistance areas
Volume - divergences
If the volume delta is positive but the price trend is still bearish, it could be an indication that the current trend is weakening and a reversal may be imminent. Similarly, if the volume delta is negative but the price trend is still bullish, it could be an indication that the current trend is weakening and a reversal may be imminent.
█ Indicator Features
In addition to the main Volume Delta feature, the indicator has the following features:
Adaptive or Stability Volume Strength: Choose between adaptive or stability volume strength.
Exhausted Volume bars: Show Exhausted Volume Bars on the chart.
Divergences: Enable Regular and Hidden Volume Divergences

if new bar moves out of range all accumulated volume will be lost and color will change.
NOFOMO INDICATORNOFOMO Indicator
ABOUT:
This indicator can be used in conjunction with alerts to detect shifts in Momentum, which usually occur before volatility. ATR (Average True Range) is included as a measurement of volatility.
Momentum(White Line)
Zero Line(White Line)
Momentum SMA(Blue Line)
Average True Range(Yellow Area)
Momentum Crossover Momentum SMA(Red Highlight)
Momentum Cross Zero Line(White Highlight)
BASIC USE FOR TRADING:
Suggested Time-Frame: 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h
When Momentum crosses the “0” line this indicates a strong change in price action. You can observe price begin or continue to go UP after Momentum crosses the “0” line from the downside, moving upward. Likewise for downward movement as well. If you observe Momentum cross the “0” line from the upside moving downward, you will observe price begin or continue to move downward.
Prior to Momentum crossing the “0” line we can observe Momentum crossing over a light blue line, the SMA. Momentum crossing over the SMA indicates the initial change in price action and in some cases, can be used to verify or signal entry. One could theoretically use the Momentum/SMA cross as an alert, the Momentum crossing the “0” line as entry. One could also theoretically use a volume spike as an alert and the Momentum/SMA cross for entry. The point is that this indicators can be used in confluence with other indicators, and it can be used in various ways.
The most effective way to use either of the crosses (MOM/SMA or MOM/0 line) is to verify them against analyzing volume. Lets say you are using the MOM/SMA cross as an alert, and the momentum crossing “0” line as your entry signal. Once alerted, you will observe that Momentum has crossed the SMA and is heading toward the “0” line. Studying the price action and the volume bars, you can determine if the current price action has enough “fuel” to push momentum through the “0” line and begin its new trend.
The easiest way to analyze the volume for validity is to look for ascending volume bars that “grow” in proportion to price. For example a long candle stick should be associated with a tall volume bar, and a small candle stick should be associated with a short volume bar. This is not always the case though and further studies in to volume price analysis will be required on your end if you wish to use this indicator effectively with volume.

Nexural Fisher ProNexural Fisher Transform Ultimate
This is my take on what the Fisher Transform should have been from the start. Not a repaint of the standard indicator with a fresh coat of paint, but a ground-up rebuild using techniques from John Ehlers and quantitative finance that actually make a difference.
What This Indicator Does
The Fisher Transform converts price into a Gaussian normal distribution, which sounds complicated but really just means it gives you clear overbought and oversold readings with sharp turning points. The problem with the standard Fisher Transform is that it was designed decades ago and has some serious limitations. This version addresses those limitations directly.
The Core Improvements
Adaptive Period via Dominant Cycle Measurement
Instead of guessing what lookback period works best, this indicator measures the dominant cycle in the market using autocorrelation and adjusts itself automatically. In choppy markets it becomes more responsive. In smooth trends it slows down to avoid false signals. You no longer have to optimize the length setting for every instrument and timeframe because the indicator
does it for you.
Tanh Normalization
The standard Fisher Transform has a nasty habit of spiking to extreme values during volatile moves. You have probably seen Fisher readings of plus or minus 8 or even higher which makes the indicator almost unreadable. This version uses hyperbolic tangent normalization to mathematically bound the output. The indicator stays within a consistent range regardless of market conditions so your overbought and oversold levels actually mean something.
Efficiency Ratio Regime Detection
This is the feature that changes how you use the indicator. The Efficiency Ratio measures whether the market is trending or ranging on a scale from zero to one. A high reading means price is moving efficiently in one direction which indicates a trend. A low reading means price is chopping around which indicates a range.
Why does this matter? Because oscillators work completely differently in trends versus ranges. In a ranging market you want to fade overbought and oversold readings. In a trending market those same signals will destroy you as the market stays overbought or oversold for extended periods while continuing in the trend direction.
The info panel shows you the current regime so you know how to interpret the signals. When it says Trending you trust the direction and ignore the zones. When it says Ranging you trust the zones and fade the extremes.
Volume Weighted Calculation
High volume bars have more influence on the Fisher calculation than low volume bars. This means the indicator responds more to moves that have real participation behind them and filters out low volume noise. The weighting is clamped to prevent any single bar from dominating the calculation.
Ehlers Super Smoother
Rather than using a simple moving average or exponential moving average for smoothing, this indicator uses the Ehlers Super Smoother which is a two pole filter specifically designed to remove noise without adding lag. The math behind it is based on signal processing theory and it genuinely works better than traditional smoothing methods.
How To Use It
The indicator shows two lines. The main Fisher line changes color based on direction. Green means bullish momentum and red means bearish momentum. The white trigger line is the previous bar value and crossovers between the two lines indicate momentum shifts.
The info panel in the corner gives you everything at a glance. State tells you the current direction. Zone tells you if the indicator is overbought, oversold, or neutral. Regime tells you if the market is trending, ranging, or mixed. ER shows you the raw Efficiency Ratio value. Period shows you the current adaptive lookback being used. Fisher shows you the exact indicator
value.
For ranging markets look for bullish crosses when the indicator is in oversold territory and bearish crosses when the indicator is in overbought territory. These are mean reversion setups.
For trending markets use the indicator to confirm trend direction and look for pullback entries when the indicator dips toward the zero line without reaching oversold or overbought extremes.
Strengths
The adaptive period is the biggest advantage. Most traders either use a default setting that works sometimes or spend hours optimizing settings that stop working when market conditions change. This indicator handles that problem automatically.
The regime detection is genuinely useful. Knowing whether to fade extremes or ride momentum is half the battle with any oscillator and this indicator tells you directly.
The bounded output means your levels are consistent. When the indicator hits 1.5 it means the same thing today as it did last month. You are not constantly adjusting your interpretation based on recent volatility.
The volume weighting adds a layer of confirmation that most oscillators lack entirely. Moves on high volume carry more weight which aligns with how markets actually work.
Weaknesses
No indicator predicts the future. This indicator tells you about momentum and regime but it does not tell you where to place your stop or what your target should be. It is a tool not a strategy.
The adaptive period can occasionally shift during volatile transitions which may cause the indicator to behave slightly differently than expected. The smoothing minimizes this but it can still happen.
Like all oscillators this indicator is better at identifying conditions than timing exact entries. A cross into oversold does not mean price stops falling immediately. It means conditions favor a bounce but the timing of that bounce requires additional analysis.
The regime detection has a slight lag because it needs data to determine whether the market is trending or ranging. At the exact moment of a regime change the indicator may still show the previous state for a few bars.
What This Is Not
This is not a signal service. There are no buy and sell arrows because markets are more nuanced than that. A bullish cross in a range means something completely different than a bullish cross in a trend and treating them the same is how traders lose money.
This is not a holy grail. It will not turn a losing trader into a winning trader on its own. It is a well built tool that gives you better information than the standard Fisher Transform.
This is not overfitted to historical data. The techniques used here are based on principles that have been validated across decades of market data. There is no curve fitting or optimization to make backtests look good.
Final Thoughts
I built this because I got tired of indicators that looked good in marketing but fell apart in live trading. The standard Fisher Transform has real value but the standard implementation has real problems. This version solves those problems using math that actually makes sense.
If you understand what the indicator is telling you and combine it with solid risk management and market structure analysis, it will serve you well. If you are looking for something to tell you exactly when to buy and sell, keep looking because that does not exist.
This is an excellent indicator on the 5-15 time frame. Use it wisely.
Advanced Weis Wave Volume [Afnan]Advanced Weis Wave Volume is an enhanced upgrade of the classic Weis Wave concept. It measures accumulated volume within price swings to show where buying and selling pressure truly shift — but with one major edge: optional consolidation detection.
Most wave volume indicators simply plot bullish and bearish waves. Advanced Weis Wave Volume goes further by giving you the choice to highlight sideways or low-momentum consolidation phases, making it easy to spot when the market lacks real momentum. This helps traders instantly filter out weak, low-probability setups and focus only on the high-energy waves that truly matter.
⚙️ Key Features
Weis Wave Method – Uses ATR-based wave calculation to identify directional volume accumulation with precision.
Optional Consolidation Highlighting – You control it. Enable or disable consolidation detection based on your trading style. When enabled, it visually marks low-momentum or range-bound conditions, helping you instantly recognize when the market is consolidating.
Smart Volume Alignment – Choose to include or exclude the reversal candle's volume in new waves for more accurate readings.
Clear Visuals – Color-coded waves for Bullish (Green), Bearish (Red), and optional Consolidation (Orange) phases.
Compact Status Table – Displays the current market condition (Bullish, Bearish, or Consolidation) directly on your chart.
Flexible Display Options – Plot all waves above zero line, customize colors, and control what information you see.
💡 Why This Indicator Is Superior
✅ vs. Other Wave Volume Indicators:
Others only show waves; they can't identify consolidation. Advanced Weis Wave Volume gives you the option to enable consolidation detection — saving you time by automatically filtering weak market phases when you need it.
✅ vs. Standard Volume Bars:
Regular volume bars show isolated candle data. Advanced Weis Wave Volume shows accumulated directional pressure, revealing true trend strength and institutional activity.
✅ vs. Basic Weis Wave Indicators:
Standard Weis Wave indicators lack consolidation awareness. This indicator adds that layer of intelligence while keeping the classic wave calculation intact.
Bottom Line:
This is the only Weis Wave volume indicator that gives you control over consolidation filtering. Others show every move equally — Advanced Weis Wave Volume shows what actually matters, when you want it to.
📈 How to Use
Trading with the Waves:
🟢 Green Waves (Bullish): Building buying pressure — look for long setups.
🔴 Red Waves (Bearish): Rising selling pressure
🟠 Orange Zones (Consolidation): (When enabled) Market is ranging — avoid new trades .
Large waves: Strong trends and high-probability continuations.
Shrinking waves: Weakening momentum or possible reversal ahead.
Critical Insight - Avoiding False Volume Signals:
Large waves aren't always reliable. If you see a wave colored in orange (consolidation), it means the market was moving sideways but no real directional momentum.
This is crucial because:
❌ A big green wave in consolidation ≠ strong upside buying
❌ A big red wave in consolidation ≠ strong downside selling
✅ These are just range-bound volume accumulations that mislead traders
With consolidation detection enabled, you can instantly identify and ignore these deceptive Consolidation waves, focusing only on directional volume that actually reflects true buying or selling pressure. This prevents you from entering trades based on false volume signals during sideways markets.
📌 Practical Applications:
Breakout Confirmation: Real breakouts show expanding volume waves; false breakouts show weak waves or consolidation-marked volume.
Trend Validation: In a healthy trend, waves in the direction of the move are stronger, larger, and show clear directional color (green/red).
Consolidation Avoidance: (When enabled) Orange zones warn you to step aside and preserve capital — even if the wave looks large. Size doesn't matter if momentum is absent.
Filter False Volume: Avoid trading large waves that occur during consolidation — they don't represent genuine directional moves, just sideways accumulation.
Divergence Detection: Price makes new highs/lows, but wave volume shrinks — a sign of exhaustion or reversal.
Analyzing Ranges: During accumulation or distribution, Advanced Weis Wave Volume helps identify how institutional players are participating within the range — revealing when a breakout is likely to occur.
✨ The Competitive Advantage
Many Weis Wave indicators exist on TradingView - they all show volume waves. Only Advanced Weis Wave Volume gives you optional consolidation detection. That single feature transforms wave volume from a pure analysis tool into a flexible trading system that adapts to your style.
Volume Stress Level V2Volume Stress Level V2, is designed to provide a nuanced view of "RECENT" trading volume by identifying different levels of volume stress relative to a smoothed average.

The length of the SMA and the multiplier for the standard deviation are fully customizable, allowing you to adapt the indicator to different market conditions and trading styles.
Visual Volume Zones: The script visually categorizes volume into distinct zones:
Low Volume Zone: Represented by a white background, indicating periods of lower-than-average trading activity.
Normal Volume Zone: Highlighted in blue, signifying typical trading volume.
Medium Volume Zone: Displayed in yellow, denoting a moderate increase in volume.
High Volume Zone: Shown in orange, indicating significant volume spikes.
Spike Volume Zone: Marked in black, representing extreme volume events.
Customizable Background: You have the option to enable or disable the colored background fill for these volume zones, providing flexibility in how you visualize the data.
Bar Coloring: The volume bars themselves are color-coded according to the identified volume stress level, offering an immediate visual cue on your chart.
Adjustable Parameters:
VSL Length: Controls the lookback period for the SMA and standard deviation calculations.
Multiplier: Adjusts the sensitivity of the standard deviation bands, thereby influencing the width of the volume zones.
How to Use:

VWAP Volume Profile is an advanced hybrid of the VWAP and volume profile concepts. It visualizes how volume accumulates relative to VWAP movement—separating rising (+VWAP) and declining (−VWAP) activity into two mirrored horizontal profiles. It highlights the dominant price bins (POCs) where volume peaked during each directional phase, helping traders spot hidden accumulation or distribution zones.
🔵 CONCEPTS
VWAP-Driven Profiling: Unlike standard volume profiles, this tool segments volume based on VWAP movement—accumulating positive or negative volume depending on VWAP slope.
Dual-Sided Profiles: Profiles expand horizontally to the right of price. Separate bins show rising (+) and falling (−) VWAP volume.
Bin Logic: Volume is accumulated into defined horizontal bins based on VWAP’s position relative to price ranges.
Gradient Coloring: Volume bars are colored with a dynamic gradient to emphasize intensity and direction.
POC Highlighting: The highest-volume bin in each profile type (+/-) is marked with a transparent box and label.
Contextual VWAP Line: VWAP is plotted and dynamically colored (green = rising, orange = falling) for instant trend context.
Candle Overlay: Price candles are recolored to match the VWAP slope for full visual integration.
🔵 FEATURES
Dual-sided horizontal volume profiles based on VWAP slope.
Supports rising VWAP , falling VWAP , or both simultaneously.
Customizable number of bins and lookback period.
Dynamically colored VWAP line to show rising/falling bias.
POC detection and labeling with volume values for +VWAP and −VWAP.
Candlesticks are recolored to match VWAP bias for intuitive momentum tracking.
Optional background boxes with customizable styling.
Adaptive volume scaling to normalize bar length across markets.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Use POC zones to identify high-volume consolidation areas and potential support/resistance levels.
Watch for shifts in VWAP direction and observe how volume builds differently during uptrends and downtrends.
Use the gradient profile shape to detect accumulation (widening volume below price) or distribution (above price).
Use candle coloring for real-time confirmation of VWAP bias.
Adjust the profile period or bin count to fit your trading style (e.g., intraday scalping or swing trading).
🔵 CONCLUSION
VWAP Volume Profile merges two essential concepts—volume and VWAP—into a single, high-precision tool. By visualizing how volume behaves in relation to VWAP movement, it uncovers hidden dynamics often missed by traditional profiles. Perfect for intraday and swing traders who want a more nuanced read on market structure, trend strength, and volume flow.

[EVI]Enhanced Volume IndicatorEnglish Version
Enhanced Volume Indicator (EVI)
The Enhanced Volume Indicator (EVI) is an advanced yet user-friendly tool designed to measure and visualize the strength of market volume using the statistical power of standard deviation. By offering a clear and dynamic representation of volume fluctuations, the EVI enables traders to effortlessly identify significant market movements and potential trading opportunities.
Key Features:
Sophisticated Volume Strength Assessment: The EVI leverages the standard deviation of historical candle volumes to evaluate and categorize the current volume intensity. This sophisticated methodology allows for the precise detection of when current volume levels significantly deviate from their historical norms.
Intuitive Visual Cues: Volume bars are color-coded to represent varying levels of volume intensity, ranging from very weak to very strong. This intuitive visual differentiation aids traders in quickly grasping the market's underlying volume dynamics at a glance.
Proactive Threshold Alerts: Stay ahead of the market with the EVI’s built-in alert functionality. Receive real-time notifications of critical volume changes, ensuring that you remain informed of significant market developments even while away from your trading desk.
How It Works:
The EVI calculates the Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Standard Deviation (STDEV) of volume over a user-defined period (default set to 500 candles). Utilizing these statistical measures, the indicator establishes various volume thresholds by applying predefined multipliers for extreme, high, medium, and low volume levels. The volume bars are then color-coded based on these thresholds, providing traders with a clear visual representation of volume intensity. Additionally, horizontal lines indicating these thresholds are plotted on the chart for easy reference, further enhancing the indicator’s usability.
This version of the EVI is particularly suited for traders who prefer simplicity and efficiency over complexity, making it an excellent alternative to the more intricate Volume Delta Divergence (VDD) indicator. The EVI delivers powerful volume insights in a straightforward and accessible manner, ensuring that even those who favor less complexity can benefit from robust volume analysis.
Ideal for traders seeking to capture major market moves or pinpoint potential reversals, the Enhanced Volume Indicator (EVI) is a must-have tool. Elevate your trading strategy with the EVI and ensure you never miss out on significant volume breakouts again.

LiquidationsFirst, thanks to the following Tradingview community members for providing open source indicators that I used to develop this indicator!
Liquidations by volume (spot/futures) - @Thomas_Davison
Pivot and liquidation lines - @lmatl
Let me know if either of you do not approve and I will remove the indicator.
This indicator uses pivot points, volume and a liquidation percentage to determine potential liquidation levels. These are not exact but can give traders an idea of potential support or resistance levels.
Pivot points: Currently the pivot points are set to look left 5 bars and right 2 bars. This will determine the high and lows in the chart.
Volume: Assuming that high volume bars are where more leverage is used, this indicator uses the average volume over a 1000 bar period to determine to determine a baseline. I have arbitrarily set 100x lines to 20% above the average volume, 50x lines 10% above, 25x lines 5% above, 10x lines 2.5% above and 5x lines 1.25% above.
Liquidation: Finally, we are making a few assumptions on how liquidations are calculated. The following table includes the percentage a position can decline before being liquidated.
Short: Long:
100x 0.51% 0.49%
50x 1.55% 1.47%
25x 3.70% 3.38%
10x 5.11% 4.67%
5x 6.705% 6.115%
Let me know if there are any questions or if anyone has any improvements!

Aqua colour volume bar = Short Term period Volume Bar Highlighted.
Maroon colour volume = Long Term period Volume Bar Highlighted.
Ultimate Volume (UV) Supply/Demand Absorption [cI8DH]This is a variant of my ADV indicator which adds low/high volume trend, supply/demand absorption detection and separate buy/sell volume moving averages. When aggregation is set to cumulative, it can replicate my ADL indicator as well. It shows both regular volume bars and the accumulated/distributed (A/D) portions of volume.
Green line shows buy volume/accumulation and red line shows sell volume/distribution. This can help with assessing buy/sell pressure (read "why invent a new indicator" for more info about why this is more accurate than CMF , MFI, OBV and Williams AD for this purpose).
Volume trend shows high and low volume periods in blue and yellow respectively. This could help with avoiding over-trading during low market activity periods.
Supply/demand absorption is shown at the top (below volume trend). It shows that market is resisting the trend which could most often lead to sideways or minor/major trend change. Darker colors show stronger resistance. This feature is configured with two parameters that might require tuning depending on the asset and time frame.
The equation to calculate accumulation/distribution (A/D) is elegant and intuitive. It calculates candle body to candle height ratio and multiplies it by volume: volume*(close-open)/(high-low). This is the building block of my three other indicators ADMF , ADP and ADL ( UMF includes all these three indicators). The volume bars has two shades of green and red. The dark shade shows amount of A/D and the light shade shows total volume (what you see on a regular volume indicator).
When money volume is enabled, volume is multiplied by price. As you can see in the chart below, trade volume in terms of USD was growing over the past years while it has not made a new ATH in terms of the instrument (BTC).
Notes
- Uncheck "Money Volume" for Bitmex or any other exchange that shows volume in terms of money.
- Smooth MA length N = EMA length 2*N-1
- Combined tickers, e.g. (COINBASE:BTCUSD+BITSTAMP:BTCUSD+KRAKEN:XBTUSD)/3, can mitigate inconsistency issues between different exchanges (I recommend not mixing USD and USDT pairs together)
Here is a TL;DR list of my indicators to save you some time from looking at my obsolete indicators.
VolumeThree lines are sigma 3x, 2x, and 1x volume (the multiple of upper BBand applied to volume).
Marks a diamond if 3x, a cross if 2x. it marks an x for statistically unusually quiet volume.
Bar is red when close*volume is under VWAP*volume, and green when the opposite is true.
You can also apply a summing function so that each bar is the sum of 'n' volume bars before it.
HTF Candle Profile [ChartPrime]⯁ OVERVIEW
The HTF Candle Profile visualizes higher-timeframe candle structure and its internal volume distribution directly on lower-timeframe charts. It automatically detects changes in higher-timeframe periods (daily, weekly, or monthly) and constructs a complete volume profile for each, allowing traders to see how volume is distributed across the range of that higher-timeframe candle. This helps identify whether momentum is supported by real volume strength or trapped price movement.
⯁ LOGIC
When a new higher-timeframe candle begins, the indicator starts collecting data for its open, high, low, close, and volume range.
Once sufficient bars have passed (defined by the Min Period Profile input), it calculates a full profile using adaptive bin sizing derived from the range (High–Low) and ATR for scaling precision.
The resulting bins represent the volume concentration at each price level of that higher-timeframe candle.
A Point of Control (PoC) is highlighted — the level where the most volume occurred.
The indicator then draws the higher-timeframe candle body and wicks at the chart’s right side, giving visual context of bullish or bearish sentiment.
⯁ FEATURES
Automatic HTF Detection: Identifies new Daily, Weekly, or Monthly periods and updates profiles in real time.
Dynamic Bin Calculation: Automatically adjusts bin size based on ATR and candle height for accurate volume granularity.
Volume Profile Rendering: Displays colored volume bars extending from the candle, showing where trading activity was concentrated.
Higher-Timeframe Candle Representation: Plots the full HTF candle (open, close, high, low) on the right side of the chart for visual clarity.
PoC Level & Labels: Marks the point of maximum volume within the candle profile with a line and volume label.
Configurable Levels: Toggle display of Open, Close, High, Low, and PoC for each higher-timeframe segment.
Color-coded Sentiment: Candle and profile colors reflect bullish or bearish momentum.
⯁ CONCLUSION
The HTF Candle Profile bridges lower- and higher-timeframe analysis by embedding high-resolution volume data within each major candle. It enables traders to see where liquidity and trading activity cluster inside higher-timeframe structures — revealing whether trends are volume-backed or hollow. Perfect for combining structural insight with volume confluence when analyzing market sentiment transitions across timeframes.
