Stock Data Table█ OVERVIEW
This is a table that shows some information about stocks. It is divided into four sections:
1) Correlation
2) Shares
3) Daily Data
4) Extended Session Data
The table is completely modular, which means you can add or remove each element from the settings menu, and it will automatically rearrange its spaces.
It is also highly customizable, to the extent that you can change almost any color, remove or change titles, invert section rows, and much more.
1) Correlation
The script checks if the stock is listed on NASDAQ, and if so, uses the QQQ (Nasdaq-100 ETF) as the reference index in the first cell; otherwise, it uses the SPY (S&P 500 ETF). The length of the correlation is shown in the second cell. The table then displays the correlation between the reference index and the other index, and the correlation between the reference index and the stock.
To make it easier to interpret the correlation values, each row's last cell is color-coded with a gradient to highlight the type of correlation, and the direction of the gradient can be customized.
The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that quantifies the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables, indicating how changes in one variable are associated with changes in the other variable, so it can be used to identify patterns and trends.
If you are interested in correlation, I suggest taking a look at my dedicated indicator:
2) Shares
This feature provides you with quick access to key information about shares and market capitalization.
On one row, you can view the total shares outstanding and the market capitalization for the fiscal year or the quarterly year. The total shares outstanding represents the total number of shares of the stock that have been issued and are currently outstanding, regardless of whether they are held by insiders or public investors. The market capitalization is a widely used measure of the company's value as determined by the stock market, calculated by multiplying its current stock price with the total number of outstanding shares.
The other row shows the float, which is the number of shares of a company that are available for public trading, and the corresponding free-float market cap, calculated by multiplying the company's current stock price with the float. Because Pine Script does not allow retrieving information about quarterly year float, you can view the float and the free-float market cap of the fiscal year only. The data can be displayed at all times or only when the difference between the total shares outstanding and the float is significant enough to result in a difference between the market cap and free-float market cap.
The classification for market cap and free-float market cap is set in this way:
Mega Cap: $200 billion or more
Large Cap: between $10 billion and $200 billion
Mid Cap: between $2 billion and $10 billion
Small Cap: between $300 million and $2 billion
Micro Cap: less than $300 million
Penny Stocks: less than $5 (customizable)
Comparing the free-float market cap to the market cap can provide insights into the liquidity of a stock. In fact, if the float is relatively small compared to the total shares outstanding, it may be more difficult to find buyers or sellers, which could lead to increased volatility. On the other hand, a larger float indicates that the stock is more liquid and may be easier to trade, potentially resulting in lower volatility. However, market conditions can change quickly and significantly, especially for intraday traders, and the free-float can also change as insiders or other large shareholders buy or sell shares. Therefore, comparing the data of the fiscal year with that of the quarterly year may not provide the most up-to-date and accurate information for making trading decisions. This limitation can be mitigated by combining those data with other indicators and tools, such as technical analysis or news events, to gain a better understand of the stock's performance and potential trading opportunities.
3) Daily Data
This section is available on daily charts only due to the lack of accuracy of real-time daily data on other time frames. Here, you can view the Average Daily Volume (ADV) over a preferred time range (20 days by default), and the Daily Change, which represents the percentage difference between the closing price on two consecutive trading days.
ADV is useful in measuring the stock's volatility, as it provides an indication of how much trading activity there is in it. Generally speaking, stocks with higher trading volume tend to be less volatile than stocks with lower trading volume. High trading volume means there are more buyers and sellers actively trading the stock, which makes it easier for investors to buy and sell shares at fair prices. This increased liquidity can help to stabilize the stock price, reducing the potential for large swings in either direction. On the other hand, stocks with lower trading volume may experience greater volatility, as there are fewer buyers and sellers actively trading the stock. This can result in larger price swings, as it may be more difficult for investors to buy or sell shares at fair prices.
The daily percentage change can provide an indication of the stock's volatility, with larger values indicating greater volatility and risk. It can also be compared to that of a benchmark such an index or other stocks in the same sector, helping to determine whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming relative to them.
4) Extended Session Data
The fourth section is available on intraday charts only. This section provides two pieces of information: the Extended Session Change and the Pre-Market Volume.
The Extended Session Change indicates the percentage difference between the previous day's closing price and the latest price in the extended session. This gives you the extent and the direction of the price gap that occurred during extended trading hours.
The Pre-Market Volume shows the sum of all shares traded during the pre-market session. This can be helpful in understanding how much interest the stock gained before the market opened.
By default, the two rows will be visible at all times. They will stop updating after the end of their respective time range, and resume updating when it starts again. However, you can choose to automatically hide them outside of their time ranges.
Both the extended session and pre-market time ranges can be customized. Please note that if you select time ranges outside of the regular market session (as set by default), you must enable the extended session to view the corresponding rows.
█ GENERAL NOTES
• Total Shares Outstanding, Float, Average Daily Volume and Pre-Market Volume cells use a customizable color system based on two thresholds, to help you quickly identify whether the value is "too low/acceptable/too high" or "too low/not enough high/acceptable".
• If you cannot see certain data, that simply means it is not available.

Volume Breakouts v2The Volume Breakouts Indicator 2.0 is a comprehensive improvement on its predecessor "Volume Breakouts" with new features and improved performance. It offers high customization options where almost every aspect can be changed to suit your preferences.
The main functionality of the indicator is to display volume that exceeds a certain level of relative volume with a specific color, and now it also differentiates between strong up and strong down days. The legacy mode from the previous version is still available, and the calculation error has been corrected in the legacy mode.
Volume Bars in their default configuration are determined by the following factors: Up and Down days, relative volume , and a strong/weak close range. The strong/weak close range is determined by marking bars with a "strong" color only if the close price is higher/weaker than 60% or 40% of the candlestick range - otherwise the color gets downgraded by one level (for example from strong green upday to medium strong blue upday). The main options for Volume Bars are the "Multipliers", where a multiplier of 1.5 represents 150% relative volume . For example, if there is an up day closing above 60% of its range and the volume is above the defined moving average threshold times the multiplier, the bar will be colored green.
(the option: "Strong/week close range" is optional and can be disabled)
Upday and multiplier 2: green
Upday and multiplier 1: blue
Downday and multiplier 2: red
Downday and multiplier 1: pink
The indicator also integrates Pocket Pivots , which are displayed as "star" icons above the current volume bar. There are two types of Pocket Pivots:
The day's volume should be larger than the highest down volume day over the prior 10 days (Rule No. 3, Chris Kacher)
If the pocket pivot occurs in an uptrend after the stock has broken out, it should act constructively around its 10-dma." The star will appear in black if the first condition is met and red if the second condition is met. (Rule No. 4, Chris Kacher)
The signal (star) will appear in black if the first condition is met and red if the second condition is met.
A new addition to the indicator is the Dashboard of different variables, which can be individually enabled or disabled. These variables include:
Actual volume: the volume of the most recent bar
Actual dollar volume: the amount of $ traded on the most recent bar
Average volume: the average volume over a defined period of time (same as moving average)
Average dollar volume: the amount of $ traded over a defined period of time (same as moving average)
Relative volume: the relative value of the current bar compared to the moving average of the volume
Up/down volume ratio: the total of the stock's volume on days when it closes up divided by the volume traded on days when the stock closed down. The assumption is that if a stock closes up for the day, the volume was buying induced and thus the stock is under accumulation
Free floating shares: Free float, also known as public float, refers to the shares of a company that can be publicly traded and are not restricted (for example held by insiders)
Rocket Ratio: Is a value (Formula: Float/AvgVolume) which measures the liquidity of the stock. A lower value means that fewer shares can move the stock fast. The default threshold is < 150
All colors can be customized, and there is also a predefined option for dark mode.
Volume Candles Standardized (VCS)This is an indicator that shows the inflow and outflow of volume into a financial instrument. Volume is likely one of the most underrated source of data in trading unfortunately so there seems to be a lack of studies on it. The size of the candle is related to the strength of the move. The calculations for this are: cumulative sum of +volume if open < close OR -volume if open > close. I have added percentile bands so you know where the neutral zones and strong zones are. Interestingly you can also see what the volume is doing by watching where the neutral zone is. If the volume is in the red or green it is a strong move. This is standardized to make it more useful. Now you can see where the exhaustion points are on the short term. Dont forget you can change the settings and you wont die. Thank you for your interest in this release I hope you find great piles of money with it.
Broadview Economic StudioThank you for taking the time to read this description. We'll be taking a look at the Broadview Economic Studio. This has been a work-in-progress for years and is a very powerful tool for planning trades with complex volume scaling strategies. We will be talking about many indicators and types of indicators used in the public domain, but it is NOT recommended to reverse engineer our scripts as there is quite a bit of logic in the code that works to make each common approach entirely unique. So although you may understand quite a bit about oscillators, the way they work with the rest of the logic within the script may change the way you know them to work from elsewhere.
In the chart snapshot above you'll see a mild configuration where I only had to tweak a few settings. Commissions are set to 0.1%, starting capital is set to $10,000, and slippage is off. In my tests orders came through less than a penny off. Generally speaking, there are really only two situations in which you should be concerned about slippage. The first is if you trade really low timeframe charts like the 1 second. This tool, while it works for any timeframe, is programmed on the 45 minute timeframe and works best there. The other situation in which you should be prepared for slippage is if you're using extremely high volume trades in the hundreds of thousands or millions depending on the market cap and liquidity of the asset you're studying. Large orders like that have to be split up among several deals and that can cause slippage.
There are 31 primary inputs for users to tweak. Each input is grouped within a module called a Suite. Each suite has a focus like filtering signals or strategically allocating volume according to your strategy. Everything starts with the Origin Suite. The Origin Suite is a group of inputs that generates Tops & Bottoms from price action. It uses math like Rate of Change, where one can specify a required rate of change before an Origin signal can be made, and users can specify how much lower in price a bar must be compared to previous bars. So with the Origin Suite, users can control how often they want to see originating signals and under what conditions they can appear.
We used to use WVF and CVI to produce top and bottom signals, but our Origin Suite works much better for systematically generating profitable configurations.
The triangles you see on the chart represent markers, potential signals, or Prop Signals as they're referred to within the script. The blue arrows represent trades where Prop Signals were allowed to pass as true long signals. There are two ways to ignore Prop Signals. You can filter the markers entirely, or you can reduce their volume scaling to the minimum which is usually $10 for most exchanges. We're first going to be talking about some of the primary DCA inputs before we talk about the technology we use to filter and overload signals.
Here are some important features found within the script:
Base Orders
Safety Orders
Take Profits
Change-Based Volume Scaling
Ignoring Low or Medium Changes
Overloading
Filtering
Alert Messages w/ Volume Scaling
Let's walk through each of these features in more depth.
The Base Order is the initial Long position within a series. It comes in first and is followed by all of its Safety Orders. The Base Order is set to $25 within the script by default. Keeping the base order low allows one to reserve more of their capital for Safety Orders that are lower within a dip, and thus, lower the user's Position Average. The primary feature of this script is to help users plan their volume scaling strategically, and this is where we start. It's this kind of due diligence and effort in protecting trades that makes this script unique.
So we start with a low Base Order. Then, we follow with a lot of Safety Orders. Typically in DCA this is done in consistent time intervals and in consistent amounts. So in regular DCA one may invest the same amount bi-weekly on pay day. They use the financial instrument as a sort of savings and average their position over their consistent investments. This is not where the bleeding edge of DCA is today though. In modern Doller Cost Averaging, I would expect to see signals and volume scaling based on logic.. as opposed to being consistent intervals.
This sets up the explanation of the primary means of volume scaling within the script. Mathematically, we start with the net balance. This is your specified starting balance plus any wins or losses. Users specify what % of their Available Balance they would like to start with when volume scaling. This percent of capital is then multiplied by a Safety Order Multiplier. The safety order multiplier is made up of a number specified by the user, multiplied by the number of the Safety Order you're on. So user's can control this equation/algorithm and scale their investments as the number of Safety Orders increases and drops in price become more opportune.
The Take Profit within the script lets users specify their desired ROI from a series. So if a user sets a 60% take profit, the script will set a price from the position average that when reached will give the user a 60% ROI for the series including its Base Order and all its Safety Orders.
Before moving on, let's talk about the amazing internal reporting found in the script. When you zoom in on the blue arrows, you can see each trade is accompanied by some extremely helpful information. This is just another feature that makes this script unique, it is the feature that gives us accurate reporting and ultimately allows us to connect with TradingView's Strategy Tester in a way that provides instant backtests with good merit. With this reporting not only can users get reports and information on trades made on different assets with different configurations, but user's can perform a deep dive on each configuration and know exactly what was going on for each trade. The first number is the number of the safety order the script is on. Remember, this is used in the primary volume scaling math. The second number is the amount the script spent on the current trade. The third number denotes the cumulative spending for the series. The final number displays the script's available balance at that time. With these numbers, the TradingView Strategy Tester, and the List of Trades feature, users can practice as much due diligence as they need during their studies.
Let's move on to talking about my favorite suite within the script, the Volume Scaling Suite. Here there are two primary means of controlling volume scaling. Although, in the near future there will be more.
In this suite you'll find Change-Based Volume Scaling and Position Average Volume Scaling. Position Average Volume Scaling is quite easy to explain. This feature only allows signals to pass if they are lower in price than your base order. In this way, users can apply most of their capital to trades that lower their position average. Simply having the money in the market can boost profits, but having a lower Position Average is the entire reason we DCA. Change-Based Volume Scaling is quite a bit more complex.
In theory, one could argue that every moment is a great moment to buy. It's just that some moments are more opportune than others. So it's not about perfect signals as much as it's about proper volume scaling.
Change-Based Volume Scaling allows us to set rules that dictate how much volume scaling is used based on the asset's current delta, or Rate of Change.
Using CBVS, one can downscale capital applied to signals with a low ROC, or simply ignore them. So if a signal comes in and the price hasn't changed very much then you can automatically use less volume for the trade. One can do the same thing for medium changes, and the user can specify what quantifies as a low or medium change. Users can give extra volume to signals with a greater rate of change, or overload signals with a high rate of change! So the CBVS feature gives users the ability to allocate volume based on logic rooted in the asset's rate of change. If a signal has dropped a lot in price, then generally, it is deserving of more capital and that's what makes this feature unique and so powerful.
There are two kinds of Overloading found in the script. There's overloading from CBVS, and then overloading from the 4 signal filtering suites. There's an important difference to note before we move on. Overloading performed by CBVS is based on ignored signals. So if you ignore low or medium change signals, and you have CBVS Overloading on, the script will allocate more capital to High Change signals. When signals are ignored, they are downscaled to $10. Whereas with the filtering suites, if a signal is filtered the Prop Signal triangle marker is removed entirely. The overloading in that scenario is simply applied to signals that aren't filtered. The reason it's done this way is because allowing ignored signals to still come in, with the lowest volume scaling possible, keeps the Safety Order count rising which works in the volume scaling math. This math is intrinsic to getting capital deep within dips and crashes.
So in future versions we may allow ignored signals to be filtered out entirely but for the time being, simply scaling them down to the lowest possible amount is what produces the best and most consistent configurations.
Let's talk about filtering signals, and the overloading provided within each filtering suite.
Here you can see our Overbought & Oversold Heatmap V3. This is a unique indicator that takes 15 common oscillators and visualizes them in a way that clearly denotes confluence. Looking at this indicator makes it easer to read cycles and trends. It is quite common for investors to base their entire scripts on one or more of the oscillators found within the OBOS Heatmap V3. So the OBOS Heatmap V3 is an awesome way to ensure your signals follow an oversold trend! The orange represents an oscillator being oversold, while the yellow represents it being overbought. Generally, when an asset is oversold it is a better time to buy. One can filter signals based on this information and use the Heatmap's unique ability to quantify confluences. In this script users can set a sensitivity and that sets the number of oscillators that must be in agreement before a signal is allowed to pass.
Here are the oscillators found within the OBOS Heatmap:
*Please keep in mind that although some of these oscillators may have big names, the code and math in the script may work differently than you're used to. This is because the code and math is changed quite a bit, and the overall intended functionality of the OBOS Heatmap has a larger scope than any one indicator. It's also important to note that the lengths for these oscillators are set low and are meant to classify the individual signal as either overbought or oversold, and not the entire period. So while the OBOS Heatmap is awesome for trends and cycles, it's ultimately meant to classify individual price bars as either overbought or oversold according to a consensus.*
Relative Strength Index
Money Flow Index
Commodity Channel Index
Aroon Oscillator
Relative Volatility Index
Fast Stochastic Detrended Price Oscillator
Fast Stochastic Elders Force Index
Fast Stochastic Relative Strength Index
Fast Stochastic Relative Vigor Index
Fast Stochastic Klinger Oscillator
Fast Stochastic Awesome Oscillator
Fast Stochastic Ultimate Oscillator
Fast Stochastic Chande Momentum Oscillator
Fast Stochastic On Balance Volume Oscillator
Fast Stochastic Moving Average Convergence/Divergence
Each band of the Overbought & Oversold Heatmap represents an oscillator. When it's orange it's said to be oversold. When it's yellow it's said to be overbought. The indicator turns purple during trends and reversals where it is neither overbought nor oversold. It can differentiate between uptrends and downtrends with differing colors of purple, but the OBOS Heatmap is not used for trends or cycles in this script. It is used to quantify oversold confluence.
Let's talk about the Dominance Suite.
First note in the top portion of the screenshot above, you will see various colors in the script. It replaces the price line with something we call Price Flow bars. So when you add the script it's best to make the stock price line invisible in TV settings. The Price Flow Bars use a preset EMA to color price action as being in either a downward momentum or upward momentum. The triangular signals represent dark teal for the initial long marker within a series, dark green for long orders and long signals that convert into safety orders, and light green for safety orders. This is more logic that makes this script really unique. The dark green initial long marker signals are rarely seen. You can find them at the beginning of a new series of signals and they work to establish when a new series of signals should begin. The dark green signals actually denote a long base order opportunity, but if a series has already started then these signals are converted into Safety Orders. The Safety Orders then come in light green, and red for Prop Shorts. Prop Shorts work with Initial Longs to establish the start of a new series. More on that math I cannot tell.
In the bottom half of the screenshot is the Dominance Suite itself. It's another one of the four filtering suites found in the script. It is made up of 7 oscillators that work to classify a price bar as being controlled by either the bears or the bulls. If a price bar is controlled by the bears it is said to be a better investment. The Dominance Suite works by applying a moving average to the balance of power. This is the way TradingView has intended the balance of power to be used, and works quite nicely in classifying individual price bars as either bearish or bullish. It's not an overall trend indicator as much as it states whether a bar is mostly controlled by the bears or the bulls.
Here are the oscillators found within the Dominance Suite:
SMA of BOP
EMA of BOP
HMA of BOP
WMA of BOP
VWMA of BOP
TEMA of BOP
LSMA of BOP
Within the script, there is an input for a negative threshold. When each of these 7 oscillators is in confluence and below this set threshold, the Prop Long will be allowed to pass as a real trade.
Keep in mind that each filtering suite also has the option to overload signals.
So not only can you filter signals based on these suites but you can also apply additional volume scaling to signals that don't get filtered.
Here we have the True Oscillator. The True Oscillator is a brand new oscillator. It's similar to things like the RSI or DPO, but technically speaking it considers many more factors into its average than other oscillators. It considers balance of power, sentiment, volume, momentum, gravity, and places special-strategic weighting on price data based on whether it's opening, closing, high, or low. If you stack the True Oscillator up with the RSI you'll notice right away they look similar, but each movement is quite different. Overall the movements are more balanced, the individual bars are more consistent with price data, and the swings are more clearly pronounced while simultaneously having a better register of strength in momentum. We use this indicator to filter and overload signals, to trade according to momentum, and to provide a 16th independent oscillator that can check the OBOS Heatmap without having to be confluent.
The final filtering suite is based on Net Volume. It classifies signals as oversold when there is a significant negative trend in net volume. If Net Volume is under 0, and trends downward for either 3, 4, or 5 bars in a row then it will mark a signal as oversold and allow it to pass. Then, if overloading for this suite is turned on it will allocate more volume to signals it does not filter out.
There is a lot that can be said about this strategy. The primary takeaway though is that it's not just one strategy. It's a tool for everyone, to help them plan their approach to different assets in different market climates. This tool can help you study current market conditions. It can allow you to plan a strategic approach to market segments, and see how your strategy would fare if new market data performed similarly. It's not just one strategy, but more of a strategy printer.
The Origin Suite allows users to plan the positioning of their signals. The Overbought & Oversold Suite allows users to filter their signals based on whether or not they are oversold. The Dominance Suite allows users to filter signals based on whether the market is being controlled by the bears or the bulls. The True Oscillator gives users the ability to filter signals based on a deep and powerful momentum oscillator. The Net Volume Suite lets users filter signals based on volume trends. When signals are filtered, signals that pass, can be overloaded with additional volume scaling. Features like Change-Based Volume Scaling and Position Average Volume Scaling give users plenty of inputs to create complex volume scaling strategies. Common-sense DCA inputs allow users to scale into markets the way pros do.
The Broadview Economic Studio is a powerful tool for planning trades with complex volume scaling strategies.
Users can plan their approach to different kinds of markets. They can link the script with their bot or broker like 3Commas, and the script will automatically send the correct volume scaling through to the bot.
Thank you for your time, and for reading the description of the Broadview Economic Studio.
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

Volume and vPOC InsightsThe vPOC or volume point of control shows where most of the volume was traded. This is important because this is where the institutions and market makers have opened their positions, and these are the ones that move the markets!
This indicator is designed to cut through the volume noise, and enable the hiding of lower volume data.
The main setting allows you to define a lookback, and obscure the candles whose volume is less than x % of the highest volume in this lookback.
Of the remaining candles, their vPOC will be displayed. There are extra settings to extend naked vPOCs, as well as the highs and lows of these high volume candles, plus an EMA based on the vPOC price levels.
I must credit quantifytools @quantifytools who allowed me to utilize his code, for finding vPOCs using lower timeframe candles - there are comments in the code also. It works perfectly so why reinvent the wheel?
Volume Spread Analysis IchimokuThis version of the popular Ichimoku indicator is modified to let the user choose between his classic mode and the volume-weighted mode.
Every line of the indicator is customizable with this function.
The Kijun and Tenkan lines are choosable from:
1. The normal version, so the average of the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume mode, so the average price of the selected input ponderated to the volume
The Senkau Span A is the average from the Kijun (fast line) and the Tenkan (slow line) lines and it's choosable from:
1. The normal price version
2. The volume mode
3. The average between points 1 and 2
4. The automatic average between the two fast lines that you've chosen
The Senkau Span B is the slowest line of the indicator, used to determine the long-term trend, and can be chosen from:
1. The normal average price between the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume average price, using the Volume Weighted Moving Average
The Trama Backline is the popular "LUX Algo" T.R.A.M.A. indicator, which I'm thankful for, and can be fantastically used to display the current trend strength and condition. This line is readable in the following way:
- If the line is moving sideways, the trend may be in a consolidation phase
- If the line is moving upwards or downwards, the trend may be in a trend phase
Strategy Myth-Busting #7 - MACDBB+SSL+VSF - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our seventh one we are automating is the "Magic MACD Indicator: Crazy Accurate Scalping Trading Strategy ( 74% Win Rate )" strategy from "TradeIQ" who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 427% profit with a 74% winrate over 100 trades in just a 4 months. I was unable to emulate these results consistently accommodating for slippage and commission but even so the results and especially the high win-rate and low markdown is pretty impressive and quite respectable.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
AK MACD BB v 1.00 by Algokid
SSL Hybrid by Mihkel00
Volume Strength Finder by Saravanan_Ragavan
This is considered a trend following Strategy. AK MACD BB is being used as the primary short term trend direction indicator with an interesting approach of using Bollinger Bands to define an upper and lower range and upon the MACD going above the upper Bollinger Bands, it's indicative of an up trend, where as if the MACD is below the lower Bollinger Band, it's indicative of a down trend. To eliminate false signals, SSL Hyrbid is used as a trend confirmation filter, confirming and eliminating false signals from the MACD BB. It does this by validating the price action is above the the EMA and the SSL is positive that is a confirmation of an uptrend. When the price action is below the EMA and the SSL is negative, that is an confirmation of a downtrend. To avoid taking trades during ranged markets, VSF Buyer's Strength is used so the buyers/sellers strength and must be above 50% or the trade will not be inititiated.
Trading Rules
5 min candles but other lower time frames even below 5m work quite well too.
Best results can be found by tweaking these 2 input parameters:
Number Of bars to look back to ensure MACD isn't above/below Zero Line
Number Of bars back to look for SSL pullback
Long Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB BB issues a new continuation long signal. A new green circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously red
SSL Hybrid price action closes above the EMA and the line is blue color and then creates a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from blue to gray or from blue to red.
VSF Buyers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new long signal.
Short Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB issues a new continuation short signal. A new red circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously green
SSL Hybrid price action closes below the EMA and the line is red color then it has to create a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from red to gray or from red to blue.
VSF Sellers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new short signal.
Stop Loss at EMA Line with TP Target 1.5x the risk

Volume With ColorVolume with color helps to quickly identify accumulation or distribution.
An accumulation day is an up day with volume greater than a user selected average.
A distribution day is a down day with volume greater than a user selected average.
This indicator will highlight those days by changing the volume bar colors for an easy visual.
[potatoshop] Volume Profile lower timeframeThis script is a volume profile that displays the volume of transactions in price blocks over a recent period of time.
For a more detailed representation, OHCLV values on the time frame lower than the time zone on the chart were called and expressed.
Low time frames are adjustable.
You can adjust the number of blocks and the most recent time period that you want to view.
Although it cannot be compared to the volume indicators provided for paid users of Trading-View, it has functioned by displaying transactions that are difficult to find on open source.
Displays the amount traded in each block and the percentage of the total over a given period.
POC represents the middle value of the block with the highest transaction volume as a line.
TPOC represents the block that stayed the longest regardless of the volume of transaction.
The reversal line appears when you determine the trading advantage of the rising and falling closing on a block basis and then have a different value from the neighboring blocks.
(I didn't mean it much, but I just put it in for fun.)
It represents the total volume of transactions traded in each block, and there are also check boxes in the settings window that represent the volume of transactions that closed higher and closed lower.
You can specify the color of each block.
The highest and lowest values for the set period and the total sum of each block are displayed at the bottom of the box.
Because it was made using a lot of arrays, the total transaction volume was marked separately to check the value.
When expressing the price block according to the trading volume percentage, it was a pity that the minimum pixel was 1 bar, so it could not be expressed delicately.
Although set to bar_time in Box properties xloc, 1 bar was actually the minimum unit of the X-axis value.
The logic used to place the transaction volume for each block is as follows.
1. Divide the difference between the high and low values of 1 LTF bar by the transaction volume .
2. Find the percentage of this LTF bar within each block.
3. Multiply the ratio by the transaction volume again.
4. Store the value in each block cell.

Money Flow IntensityThis indicator works very similarly to Elder's Force Index (EFI) and builds on top of what I have for the Money Flow Line (see my other scripts). It combines price movements with volume to create sort of "dollar flow" pressure up and down, looking for "smart money" ("big money") to make their move.
The indicator uses a lookback period to calculate a standard deviation of the movement intensity, then creates gradients to visualize how intense the movement is relative to other movements. This helps measure the pull away from the average more easily than with the Money Flow Line alone.
Much like with EFI, high intensity moves can indicate two things:
1. Strength and conviction in the current direction OR...
2. A reversal is coming soon
You can also watch for waning volume in the current direction, indicating that a trend is losing interest and may be due for a pullback.
There is no way to know, but combining this with price action and a trend indicator can help give you some good educated guesses about what could happen next. Combine with averaging in or out and managing risk appropriately. Good luck :)
Volume Spread AnalyzerThis indicator is unseen on Tradingview and wants to be the number 1 indicator for the volume spread analysis. Its formula, as simple as useful, compares the effort (volume) of the candle with the results, or the price movement.
This way it's possible to apply the famous Volume Spread Analysis with a simple and complete indicator that's 100% objective.
This indicator can be used on almost any market, but it gives the best results on markets which has constant and high volume, like forex markets, for example.
There are 4 different modes that you can choose from, and all of the use different approaches and techniques to measure the same concept: the efficiency of the price compared to the effort of buyers and sellers:
1. The first one analyzes the formula for ONLY buy candles and ONLY for sell candles, and then plots the column oscillator to show the difference.
2. The second function shows the same formula but applied to any candle, and then confronts the two lines generated by the effort of the positive candle and the negative one as an area. You also have a single-step line on the chart that shows the real-time single-candle effort to result from efficiency.
3. Comparison between the single candle effort and the average efficiency, useful to filter out bad entry candles that could lead to a stop loss.
4. Absorbion analyzer: with this option, you can choose between the single candle and multi-candle mode.
4.1: Single candle mode display, as a pink circle on the oscillator, the candles that are more likely an absorption.
4.2: Multi-candle mode display the summation of the single candle value, to analyze the entire movement and identify the part of the trend that can be absorbed when compared to the other.
For almost any function o the indicator, the fast line input changes the fast line that you see on the chart (i suggest not increasing it above 3 for optimal results), and the slow line changes the moving average or the area that shows the difference between the other lines, you can set the slow line to 1 to have as a result the simple difference of the other lines, or you can set it to a higher value like 50 to show the middle or long term bias.
Aggregated Volume Spot & Futures ⚉ OVERVIEW ⚉
The indicator presents a comprehensive approach to Aggregated Volume Data . Works on almost all CRYPTO Tickers!
The script also includes several input parameters that allow the user to control which exchanges and currencies are included in the aggregated data.
This script allows the user to choose from several data display modes, including volume, spot & perp, delta, cumulative delta, and others.
The user can also choose how volume is displayed (in assets, U.S. dollars or euros) and how it is calculated (sum, average, median, or dispersion).
WARNING Indicator is for CRYPTO ONLY.

Igniting CandlesDisplays (and alerts) abrupt changes in volume, by default it compares previous candle volume to the current one but average volume over custom look-back period can be specified. Simply adjust filter to the volume change (or average volume) required before visual indication and alert will fire.
The theory is that large changes in volume forecast the future movement; certainly combine this indicator with other tools to build a more sound trading plan.
Volume Profile Visible Range For All AccountsVolume Profile Visible Range For All Accounts is displaying volume from price perspective. It’s done by summing volume by the “estimated” transaction price. This version is estimating it based on public volume data so it can be used with any account.

True Accumulation/Distribution (TG fork)An accumulation/distribution indicator that works better against gaps and with trend coloring.
Accumulation/Distribution was developed by Marc Chaikin to provide insight into strength of a trend by measuring flow of buy and sell volume .
The fact that A/D only factors current period's range for calculating the volume multiplier causes problem with price gaps. They are ignored or even misinterpreted.
True Accumulation/Distribution solves the problem by using True Range instead of only relying on current period's high and low.
Most of the time, True A/D reverts to producing the same values as the original A/D. The difference between True A/D and original A/D can be better seen when a gap has occurred, True A/D has handles it better than Accumulation/Distribution which a bearish close in period's range cause it to misinterpret the strong buy pressure as sell volume
The Moving Average Cloud is simply the filling between the moving average and the True A/D. This feature was inspired by D7R ACC/DIST closed-source indicator, kudos to D7R for making such neat visual indicators (but unfortunately all closed source!).
This indicator was made to extend the original work by adding MTF support and a moving average cloud and coloring.
If you like this indicator, please show the original author RezzaHmt some love:
Liquidations by volume (TG fork)Shows actual liquidations on a per-candle basis by using the difference in volume between spot and futures markets.
i.e. volume on a futures market will be much higher if there are many liquidations.
By default, green represents short liquidations (hence a bullish move, hence why it's green), whereas red is for long liquidations (bearish move). The colors can be changed in the settings if you prefer an inverted theme.
Long liquidation data should in theory be more accurate than short liquidation data due to the inability to short on a spot market.
This indicator should be able to help identify trends by determining liquidation points in the chart.
Extended by Tartigradia to automatically detect the symbol (only for crypto assets found on Binance with a USDTPERP pair, so it works for ETH, BNB, etc) and add multi-timeframe support (MTF).

Volume composition / quantifytools— Overview
While net volume is useful information, it can be a blunt data point. Volume composition breaks down the content of volume, allowing a more detailed look inside each volume node. Volume composition consists of the following information:
Total volume (buy and sell). By default gray node.
Dominating volume (buy or sell). By default dark green/dark red node.
Dominating active volume (buy or sell). By default light green/light red node.
Dominating volume as percentage of total volume.
Dominating active volume as percentage of total active volume.
Buy and sell volume is defined by volume associated with lower timeframe up/down moves. This classification is further broken down to passive/active, standing for decreasing/increasing volume, e.g. a move up with volume higher than previous bar volume = active buy volume, a move up with volume lower than previous bar volume = passive buy volume.
Volume data is fetched from a lower timeframe that is automatically adjusted to fit the timeframe you're using. By default, the following settings are applied:
Charts <= 30 min: 1 minute timeframe
Charts > 30 min & <= 3 hours : 5 minute timeframe
Charts > 3 hours & <= 8 hours : 15 minute timeframe
Charts > 8 hours & <= 1D: 1 hour timeframe
Charts > 1D & <= 3D : 2 hour timeframe
Charts > 3D: 4 hour timeframe
Timeframe settings can be changed via input menu. The lower the timeframe, the more precision you get but with the cost of less historical data and slower loading time. Users can also choose which source to use for determining buy/sell volume, e.g. using close as source, a close that is higher than previous close would be considered as buy volume. This could be replaced with OHLC4 for example, resulting in a volume direction based on OHLC average.
Volume composition of current chart can also be replaced with any other chart volume composition:
— Visuals
Breakdown of visual elements:
1. Symbol and timeframe used for volume composition calculations. By default the chart that is viewed and automatically selected lower timeframe.
2. Dominating volume threshold exceeded. Can be defined via input menu, 70% of total volume by default.
3. Dominating volume as percentage of total volume. Plotted below volume nodes, without % symbol.
4. Dominating active volume, + or - symbol, standing for buy and sell. Plotted below dominating volume percentage. When dominating volume and dominating active volume sides are in a disagreement (e.g. dominating volume is on buy side while dominating active volume is on sell side) this symbol will appear inside brackets, (+) or (-).
5. Dominating active volume as percentage of total active volume. Plotted below +/- symbol.
6. Dominating active volume threshold exceeded. Can be defined via input menu, 70% by default.
Dominating volume & active volume percentages can be rounded to single numbers to avoid clutter caused by overlapping values. The percentage values will be rounded to closest single number value, e.g. dominating volume percentage at 54% = 5, dominating volume percentage at 55% = 6.
Volume anomalies can be highlighted on the chart with a color for studying the events and their past implications in greater detail. Available anomalies for highlights are the following:
Buy volume threshold exceeded
Sell volume threshold exceeded
Active buy volume threshold exceeded
Active sell volume threshold exceeded
Volume & active volume divergence
— Practical guide
Volume is arguably one of the most important data points as it directly relates to liquidity. High volume can be an indication of strength (price likely to continue moving) or absorption (price likely to halt/turn). Same applies to active volume, but with an element of aggression. High active volume serves as an indication of exuberance or otherwise forceful transacting, like stop losses triggering. With these principles in mind, the composition of volume allows distinguishing potentially important events.
Example #1 : Identifying areas of trapped market participants
Often when volume spikes distinctively, we can make the case that price has found sufficient liquidity to halt/turn. Since we know which side was absorbed, in what quantity and type (passive/active), we can identify areas of trapped market participants. In such scenarios, the higher the dominant active volume and volume spike itself, the better.
Example #2 : Identifying a healthy trend
A healthy trend is one that has an active and consistent bid driving it. When this is the case, it can be seen in consistently supportive active volume.
Example #3 : Identifying inflection points
When dominant side of volume and dominant side of active volume diverge, something is up. A divergence often marks an area of indecision, hinting an imminent move one way or the other.
Volume CVD and Open Interest HeatmapTaking Volume and Open Interest data to the next level of visualization I created a 'heatmap'. The indicator uses a colour gradient and plots boxes from the source candle to the current candle with one of the following data sources:
- Volume - the total volume of transactions, buys and sells
- Up Volume - the total volume from buys only
- Down Volume - the total volume from sells only
- Up/Down Volume (Net) - the difference in the Buy Volume and Sell Volume
- Cumulative Delta - the sum of the up/down volume for the previous 14 bars
- Cumulative Delta EMA - a smoothed average of the sum of the up/down volume for the previous 14 bars, over a 14 period EMA
- Open Interest - a user defined ticker, whose value is added to the plot, while this is designed to be used with Open Interest tickers, you can actually choose any ticker you want, perhaps you want to see DXY while charting Bitcoin!
You can define the lookback period, though you should make sure your timeframe for volume source data, is high enough to accommodate the lookback. TradingView will only fetch 5000 candles worth of data, so at 1 min volume data, you can only lookback 83 hours.
While similar, Volume and Open Interest are not the same. To me the simplest explanation is Volume shows the trades that have been executed and the buy/sell direction, while Open Interest shows the value of open trades that are yet to be completed.
Volume shows strength, sentiment and volatility .
Open Interest does not show direction, but does indicate momentum and liquidity in the market.
With this novel way of visualizing these, you can also now determine where all that liquidity and positions came from and therefore might have resting liquidity below.
Volume CVD and Open InterestVolume, Cumulative Delta Volume and Open Interest are great indications of strength and sentiment in the market. Until now they have required separate indicators, but this indicator can show them all.
With a clean and aesthetic plot, this indicator has the option to choose the data source:
- Volume - the total volume of transactions, buys and sells
- Up Volume - the total volume from buys only
- Down Volume - the total volume from sells only
- Up/Down Volume (Net) - the difference in the Buy Volume and Sell Volume
- Cumulative Delta - the sum of the up/down volume for the previous 14 bars
- Cumulative Delta EMA - a smoothed average of the sum of the up/down volume for the previous 14 bars, over a 14 period EMA
- Open Interest - a user defined ticker, whose value is added to the plot, while this is designed to be used with Open Interest tickers, you can actually choose any ticker you want, perhaps you want to see DXY while charting Bitcoin!
There are several customization features for the colour of the plot, with a nice gradient colouring from high to low. You can choose the lookback which defines only the highest and lowest values for the colour gradient. There is also an option for how the Open Interest value is determined, based on Close, Open or differences between previous values.
While similar, Volume and Open Interest are not the same. To me the simplest explanation is Volume shows the trades that have been executed and the buy/sell direction, while Open Interest shows the value of open trades that are yet to be completed.

Open Interest does not show direction, but does indicate momentum and liquidity in the market.
Volume ChartVolume data can be interpreted in many different ways. This is a very basic script and novel idea to display volume as a chart. The purpose of this script is to visually help identify volume breakouts and other common chart patterns. While this indicator could be useful for finding big moves and early reversals it not reliable for determining the direction of the move.
Below is an example of a volume breakout:
Below is confirmation of the second ear in the batman pattern:
Lower highs and higher lows can give early signs of a reversal:

Combined Moving Averages + Squeeze & Volume Spike SignalsThis is a set of 4 combined moving averages. Each moving average is a combination of an EMA, SMA, HMA, RMA, WMA and VWMA with the same length as set in your input settings. All 6 of them are added together and then divided by 6 for an average of all of them. This is based on the theory that most traders use their own preference of moving averages, so combining them all should give us a better idea of where price should actually react since we are using the average of what most traders are using on their charts. It also smooths the moving averages out as well so you get a much easier to read moving average than any of them on their own which should help you hold positions longer and time your entries better.
The default lengths used for this indicator are as follows: 10, 50, 100 and 500. These lengths can be updated in the settings. The 10 and 500 will change colors when the individual moving average is less than or greater than its previous value. Price above or below the moving average does not affect the colors. The 50 and 100 are colored based on whether the 50 is greater/less than the 100.
The two middle length moving averages by default are the 50 and 100. This has been turned into a cloud because it is the area where price typically bounces, since tons of traders use the 50 and 100 moving averages. This should be your long/short zone when price is trending.
Each moving average can be set to use a different source such as close, open, high, low, ohlc4, etc. You can also adjust the length of each moving average. Default settings work well, but feel free to customize them to your liking. You can also change the colors of the lines in the settings.
Beware that changing the lengths of MA #2 and MA #3 will change the signals, squeezes and the cloud.
VOLUME SPIKES
The cloud will change to a brighter color when a volume spike is detected. When a major volume spike is detected, it will turn very bright colored green/red according to the direction of the cloud. This notifies you of volume spikes so you have a better idea of how strong the trend is. If the cloud is a dark green/red then that means that volume is less than or equal to the recent median volume.
SIGNALS
There are also signals that will be given when the current candle is in the cloud, the candle is going in the same direction as the cloud, the MA #2 and MA #3 is going in the same direction and a volume spike is detected. These help you identify good entries when markets are trending. Be cautious of these signals when the trend is sideways and not clearly moving in one direction. The signals can be turned on or off in the settings.
SQUEEZE
Many times when moving averages squeeze together, a big move happens shortly after. Because of this I added a yellow background color when a squeeze is detected. It looks at the median value difference of the MA #2 and MA #3 and if the current value difference is less than the median multiplied by the multiplier in the settings then it will change the background color to notify you. The default value of the multiplier is .6, meaning the squeeze signal will only show if the current value difference of the cloud is less than .6 of the median difference. The multiplier can be adjusted in the settings to suit your preferences. Lower values will only show tighter squeezes.
MARKETS
This indicator can be used on all markets including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
TIMEFRAMES
This indicator can be used on all timeframes.
PAIRINGS
We recommend pairing this combined moving average with Trend Friend Swing Trade And Scalp Signals for extra confluence. Look for price to bounce in the cloud with good volume and a confirming signal from Trend Friend for highly probable moves.
