Volatility-Volume Index (VVI)Volatility-Volume Index (VVI) – Indicator Description
The Volatility-Volume Index (VVI) is a custom trading indicator designed to identify market consolidation and anticipate breakouts by combining volatility (ATR) and trading volume into a single metric.
How It Works
Measures Volatility : Uses a 14-period Average True Range (ATR) to gauge price movement intensity.
Tracks Volume : Monitors trading activity to identify accumulation or distribution phases.
Normalization : ATR and volume are normalized using their respective 20-period Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for a balanced comparison.
Interpretation
VVI < 1: Low volatility and volume → Consolidation phase (range-bound market).
VVI > 1: Increased volatility and/or volume → Potential breakout or trend continuation.
How to Use VVI
Detect Consolidation:
Look for extended periods where VVI remains below 1.
Confirm with sideways price movement in a narrow range.
Anticipate Breakouts:
A spike above 1 signals a possible trend shift or breakout.
Why Use VVI?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators (ATR, Bollinger Bands) or volume-based tools (VWAP), VVI combines both elements to provide a clearer picture of consolidation zones and breakout potential.
Enhanced Volume Order Flow ImbalanceThe Enhanced Volume Order Flow Imbalance (E-VOFI) indicator provides insights into market sentiment by analyzing volume imbalances between bullish and bearish price movements. By identifying the relative strength of buying versus selling activity, this indicator helps traders understand the underlying momentum of price movements.
Key Features:
Volume Imbalance: The indicator calculates the imbalance between the volume of bullish bars (upward price movement) and bearish bars (downward price movement). A positive value indicates stronger buying pressure, while a negative value indicates stronger selling pressure.
Smoothed Imbalance: A smoothed version of the imbalance is plotted as a line, helping traders identify longer-term trends in market sentiment.
Color-Coding: The imbalance is displayed as a histogram with green bars representing bullish dominance and red bars representing bearish dominance.
Zero Line: The indicator includes a zero line for reference, making it easier to visualize when market sentiment is neutral or tilted in one direction.
Inputs:
Lookback Period: The number of bars used to calculate the moving averages of bullish and bearish volume (default: 14).
Strong Imbalance Threshold: A threshold to define a strong imbalance. This option has been removed from the script in the latest version, simplifying the display to only show the imbalance histogram and the smoothed line.
Usage:
The E-VOFI indicator can help traders assess the strength of buying or selling pressure in the market. By observing the imbalance histogram, traders can make more informed decisions about market trends and potential reversals. The smoothed imbalance line provides a clearer view of longer-term trends, helping to filter out short-term noise.

How to Use the Indicator
Step-by-Step Trading Process
1. Monitor the Chart
Load your XRP 1D chart with the indicator applied.
Observe the blue vw_mom line and signal markers.
2. Spot a Signal
Primary Signals: Look for red triangles (strong_bear) or green triangles (strong_bull).
Warnings: Note orange crosses (suppression_bear) or yellow crosses (suppression_bull).
3. Confirm the Signal
For Strong Bullish Divergence (Buy):
Green triangle appears.
Price closes above the 5-day SMA (purple line) and a recent swing high.
Optional: Volume ratio (gray line) exceeds the threshold (yellow line).
For Strong Bearish Divergence (Sell):
Red triangle appears.
Price closes below the 5-day SMA and a recent swing low.
Optional: Volume ratio (gray line) falls below the threshold (yellow line).
4. Enter the Trade
Long:
Buy at the close of the signal bar.
Stop loss: Below the recent swing low or 2 × ATR(14) below entry.
Short:
Sell/short at the close of the signal bar.
Stop loss: Above the recent swing high or 2 × ATR(14) above entry.
5. Manage the Trade
Take Profit:
Aim for a 2:1 or 3:1 risk-reward ratio (e.g., risk $0.05, target $0.10-$0.15).
Or exit when an opposite suppression signal appears (e.g., orange cross for longs).
Trailing Stop:
Move stop to breakeven after a 1:1 RR move.
Trail using the 5-day SMA or 2 × ATR(14).
Early Exit:
Exit if a suppression signal appears against your position (e.g., suppression_bull while short).
6. Filter Out Noise
Avoid trades if a suppression signal precedes a divergence within 2-3 days.
Optional: Add a 50-day SMA on the price chart:
Longs only if price > 50-SMA.
Shorts only if price < 50-SMA.
Example Trades (XRP 1D)

Volume Profile [ActiveQuants]The Volume Profile indicator visualizes the distribution of trading volume across price levels over a user-defined historical period. It identifies key liquidity zones, including the Point of Control (POC) (price level with the highest volume) and the Value Area (price range containing a specified percentage of total volume). This tool is ideal for traders analyzing support/resistance levels, market sentiment , and potential price reversals .
█ CORE METHODOLOGY
Vertical Price Rows: Divides the price range of the selected lookback period into equal-height rows.
Volume Aggregation: Accumulates bullish/bearish or total volume within each price row.
POC: The row with the highest total volume.
Value Area: Expands from the POC until cumulative volume meets the user-defined threshold (e.g., 70%).
Dynamic Visualization: Rows are plotted as horizontal boxes with widths proportional to their volume.
█ KEY FEATURES
- Customizable Lookback & Resolution
Adjust the historical period ( Lookback ) and granularity ( Number of Rows ) for precise analysis.
- Configurable Profile Width & Horizontal Offset
Control the relative horizontal length of the profile rows, and set the distance from the current bar to the POC row’s anchor.
Important: Do not set the horizontal offset too high. Indicators cannot be plotted more than 500 bars into the future.
- Value Area & POC Highlighting
Set the percentage of total volume required to form the Value Area , ensuring that key volume levels are clearly identified.
Value Area rows are colored distinctly, while the POC is marked with a bold line.
- Flexible Display Options
Show bullish/bearish volume splits or total volume.
Place the profile on the right or left of the chart.
- Gradient Coloring
Rows fade in color intensity based on their relative volume strength .
- Real-Time Adjustments

█ CONCLUSION
The Volume Profile indicator provides a dynamic, customizable view of market liquidity. By highlighting the POC and Value Area, traders can identify high-probability reversal zones, gauge market sentiment, and align entries/exits with key volume levels.
█ IMPORTANT NOTES
⚠ Lookback Period: Shorter lookbacks prioritize recent activity but may omit critical levels.
⚠ Horizontal Offset Limitation: Avoid excessively high offsets (e.g., close to ±300). TradingView restricts plotting indicators more than 500 bars into the future, which may truncate or hide the profile.
⚠ Risk Management: While the indicator highlights areas of concentrated volume, always use it in combination with other technical analysis tools and proper risk management techniques.
█ RISK DISCLAIMER
Trading involves substantial risk. The Volume Profile highlights historical liquidity but does not predict future price movements. Always use stop-loss orders and confirm signals with additional analysis. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
📊 Happy trading! 🚀
Volume Aggregated Spot & FuturesAggregated volume for cryptos using spot and perpetual contracts but only those that are based on normal volume and not on tick volume.
Provides more reliable volume than volume from one provider.
Thanks to HALDRO because it's his code and I simplified it to create this version.
Premarket VolumeTimeframe: Use on intraday charts (e.g., 1-minute, 5-minute) with extended hours enabled.
Behavior: The plot will appear at 4:00 AM, grow as volume accumulates, and disappear at 9:30 AM each day.
Lemon/Lime Volume Lookback IndicatorThe indicator focuses on analyzing volume patterns.
It calculates a relative volume metric by comparing the current volume to a short-term simple moving average of volume.
The code identifies volume spikes when the relative volume exceeds a user-defined threshold.
These volume spikes are visually represented on the chart as small circles:
Yellow circles appear above bars for bearish volume spikes (when price closed lower)
Green circles appear below bars for bullish volume spikes (when price closed higher)
Users can adjust settings such as the lookback period for volume comparison and the percentage increase that defines a volume spike. This would adjust the readings based on incoming volume. Adjust as needed during different market conditions.
This tool essentially helps traders identify and visualize significant increases in trading volume compared to recent average volume, which could potentially signal important price movements or trend changes.

MM Labelled AVWAPTradingView provides a tool to show anchored VWAP plots on your screen, but there is no way to label the plots to add additional context to the level. Instead, users are forced to use the plot style (color, line style, line thickness, etc) to indicate what the plots are for and then they have to remember that meaning when looking at different charts. It also means that for key market-wide moments, users will need to add the plot for every symbol.
Now, for the first time on TradingView, you can create anchored VWAP plots with labels on them so you can understand the meaning behind the key moments you care about and don't need to remember what they mean by using styles like color or thickness. You can use this indicator to track key moments like the 2022 market bottom, or the Aug 9, 2024 "Carry Trade Unwind" bottom. The labelled AVWAP plots are visible on every chart by default. If you have an AVWAP moment that is only relevant to a small number of symbols, you can configure the indicator to only appear on those symbols.
VWAP & Volume Correlation### **Calculating the Correlation Between VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) and Volume (VOLUME) Over a Period of Time**
#### **Breakdown & Understanding**
- **VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price)**: Similar to an average price but weighted by volume, representing the average price at which market participants traded during a specific period.
- **VOLUME (Trading Volume)**: The total amount of assets traded over a certain period.
- **CORR (Correlation)**: Measures the relationship between two variables, ranging from **-1 to 1**:
- **Close to 1**: VWAP and volume **move in sync**—when volume increases, VWAP also rises, and when volume decreases, VWAP also falls.
- **Close to -1**: VWAP and volume **move inversely**—when volume increases, VWAP decreases, and vice versa.
- **Close to 0**: No significant relationship between VWAP and volume.
#### **Examples**
- If the correlation is **high (close to 1)**, it indicates that an increase in trading volume leads to a higher VWAP, suggesting that large amounts of capital are being traded at higher prices, which could indicate a **strong market**.
- If the correlation is **low (close to 0)**, it suggests that there is **no stable relationship** between VWAP and volume.
- If the correlation is **close to -1**, it means that **higher trading volume leads to a lower VWAP**, possibly indicating that heavy selling pressure is pushing prices down.
#### **Practical Applications**
- **Identifying Market Trends**: If VWAP and volume have a strong correlation, it could indicate that the current trend is stable.
- **Detecting Anomalies**: If the correlation suddenly drops or turns negative, it may signal a shift in market behavior, such as **large-scale selling or sudden price surges**.
#### **How to Use This Indicator**
- **When the correlation is close to 1 (Blue)**:
- VWAP and volume are moving **in sync**, suggesting a stable market trend.
- **When the correlation is close to -1 (Red)**:
- **Higher volume is causing VWAP to drop**, which could indicate institutional distribution or unusual market movements.
- **When the correlation fluctuates significantly**:
- It suggests **market sentiment is changing**, and it may be worth watching for a potential trend reversal.
By monitoring VWAP and volume correlation, traders can **better understand market conditions, detect institutional activity, and refine their trading strategies**. 🚀
Volume Pressure Histogram (Normalized)Overview
The Volume Pressure Histogram is designed to help traders analyze buying and selling pressure using real volume data.
Unlike traditional momentum indicators that rely solely on price movements, VPH measures the strength of bullish and bearish volume, providing insights into market participation.
How It Works
The histogram represents the difference between buying and selling volume over a selected period.
Green bars indicate strong buying pressure, while red bars signal strong selling pressure.
Lime and orange bars (if enabled) represent moderate buying and selling activity.
A white signal line smooths volume data to track momentum shifts over time.
How to Use It
Trend Confirmation: When price is rising and green bars increase, the trend is supported by real buying pressure.
Reversal Detection: If price makes a new high but green bars shrink, buyers may be losing strength.
Breakout Strength: A breakout with rising volume pressure confirms strong participation, while weak volume pressure suggests a potential fake move.
Divergence Signals: If price moves higher, but volume pressure declines, the move may lack conviction and could reverse.
Customization Options
Threshold Multiplier (default = 20) controls when green and red bars appear, filtering out weaker signals.
Log Scale Option helps normalize extreme volume spikes.
Adjustable Smoothing Length for both the histogram and signal line.
Why Use This Indicator
Provides a volume-based approach to analyzing market trends.
Can confirm or contradict price movements, helping identify strong or weak trends.
Works across multiple markets, including stocks, forex, crypto, and indices.
This indicator is designed for educational and informational purposes only and does not provide financial advice.

Ragi's 24h volumeThis script is a TradingView Pine Script indicator that displays the 24-hour trading volume for a given asset. It provides both the native volume of the asset and, if the asset is not already listed on Binance, also displays the 24-hour volume from Binance (if applicable). Here's a breakdown of the key components:
Volume Calculation:
It sums the volume data over different time frames: 1-minute, 5-minute (for daily charts), or 60-minute intervals.
The volume is calculated based on the asset's volume type (either "quote" volume or a calculated value of close * volume).
For crypto assets, if the volume data is unavailable, it raises an error.
Binance Volume:
If the asset is not from Binance, the script fetches 24-hour volume data from Binance for that symbol, ensuring it is using the correct currency rate.
Display:
The indicator displays a table with the 24-hour volume in the chosen position on the chart (top, middle, or bottom).
The table displays the current exchange's volume, and if applicable, the Binance volume.
The volume is color-coded based on predefined thresholds:
Attention: Displays a warning color for volumes exceeding the attention level.
Warning: Shows an alert color for volumes above the warning threshold.
Normal: Displays in standard color when the volume is lower than the warning level.
The text and background color are customizable, and users can adjust the text size and position of the table.
User Inputs:
The script allows customization of table text size, position, background color, and volume thresholds for attention and warning.
In summary, this indicator is designed to track and display 24-hour volume on a chart, with additional volume information from Binance if necessary, and provides visual cues based on volume levels to help traders quickly assess trading activity.
Stacked Bullish vs Bearish VolumeThis indicator visually represents buying (bullish) and selling (bearish) pressure within each candle by stacking both portions inside a single volume bar. Unlike traditional volume indicators that use only one color per bar, this script splits each volume bar into two segments:
Green portion (Bullish Volume) → Represents the buying pressure when the price moves up.
Red portion (Bearish Volume) → Represents the selling pressure when the price moves down.
By stacking buy and sell volume inside the same column, traders can easily assess the balance of buying vs selling activity within each trading session.
Stacking the Bars:
The bullish portion (green) is plotted first.
The bearish portion (red) is plotted slightly offset to create a stacked effect.
WAVES by WestmontWAVES by Westmont is a trading indicator that combines WaveTrend analysis with VWAP dynamics to provide traders with insights into market momentum , volatility , and trends . Users can rely on this tool to help identify market shifts , potential trend reversals , and momentum changes . The script integrates custom logic with standard public domain functions to enhance signal accuracy and market analysis.
WAVES builds on familiar tools, such as the Exponential Moving Average ( EMA ), Simple Moving Average ( SMA ), and basic fractal analysis , to create a comprehensive view of price behavior. Users can interpret this indicator to gain a clearer picture of market conditions, utilizing both WaveTrend’s trend-following signals and VWAP’s volume-weighted price reference.
How the Components Work Together:
Divergence Functions
WAVES uses the bottom_fractal and bot_fractal functions to detect local highs and lows, helping identify potential reversal points in the market. These functions work alongside the WaveTrend and VWAP analysis to confirm or challenge potential turning points.
WaveTrend Calculation
ESA (Exponential Smoothing Average): Provides a smoothed base for price direction.
DE (Deviation): Measures volatility, indicating how much price is fluctuating.
CI (Commodity Channel Index): Tracks cycles between price and the smoothed ESA, identifying potential price shifts.
These values are smoothed using EMA and SMA for greater stability. Users can rely on these smoothed signals to reduce noise and improve trend clarity.
VWAP Area Calculation
Users can observe the VWAP area , calculated from the difference between two WaveTrend lines ( wavetrend1 and wavetrend2 ), to understand market equilibrium in relation to volume-weighted price action. The VWAP area provides a clearer picture of price movement relative to market volume.
Signal Dots and Visualization
Bullish Signals: Users can look for blue dots when the VWAP area crosses upwards , indicating that price is above the VWAP and suggesting upward momentum .
Bearish Signals: Users can look for purple dots when the VWAP area crosses downwards , indicating that price is below the VWAP and suggesting downward momentum .
Smooth VWAP Gradient Fill
Users can visually track momentum using the smooth gradient fill between the VWAP plot and the center line . The fill color changes from blue ( positive momentum ) to purple ( negative momentum ), and turquoise ( neutral ), helping traders quickly assess market sentiment and trend strength.
How to Use WAVES by Westmont :
Bullish Momentum : Users can look for blue dots when the VWAP area crosses upward . This suggests the market is in an uptrend as price moves above the VWAP , potentially indicating upward price action .
Bearish Momentum : Users can look for purple dots when the VWAP area crosses downward . This suggests the market is in a downtrend as price moves below the VWAP , indicating potential for downward price action .
Neutral Market Conditions : Users can observe when the VWAP area remains near the center line ( turquoise ), indicating market consolidation or indecision .
Code Usage :
The indicator uses TradingView’s built-in functions (EMA, SMA, and fractals), which are well-optimized for standard technical analysis. These functions serve as a foundation for the indicator’s calculations. Users can trust that the public domain functions ensure efficient performance, while the added customizations enhance signal quality by integrating WaveTrend and VWAP dynamics.
ZenAlgo - DetectorThis script combines multiple volume data sources, calculates several forms of volume-based metrics, displays a table for Spot vs. Perpetual volumes, and visualizes several technical elements (such as cumulative delta, divergences, fractals, and specialized moving averages). The primary objective is to help analyze volume activity across different exchanges, compare Spot vs. Perpetual markets, and observe how shifting volumes may coincide with price action characteristics. This description aims to clarify each component, explain how the calculations are performed, and show you how to interpret the various chart markings.
Why Combine These Metrics in One Script?
Many publicly available volume-related tools focus only on a single exchange or a single type of volume (like spot or futures). This script merges multiple exchange sources for spot and perpetual data into a unified view. By doing so, users can detect discrepancies or confirm alignment between different markets without juggling multiple indicators. It also processes volume-derived signals (delta, divergences, fractals, etc.) in one place, sparing you from manually combining various standalone scripts. Through this integration, it becomes easier to observe how price and volume interact across different market segments.
Core Concept: Aggregated Volume
The script begins by collecting volumes from multiple exchanges in two categories:
Spot volumes – Typically aggregated under symbols ending with "USDT" or a user-selected currency, and
Perpetual volumes – From perpetual futures contracts (e.g., symbols ending in "USD.P" or "USDT.P").
All these exchange volumes are requested via the built-in request.security() function in a single line for each exchange. The user can enable or disable each exchange in the inputs. The script then calculates an "aggregated volume" for Spot, an aggregated volume for Perpetual, and an overall combined total.
This aggregated volume is used later to break down how much of each bar's volume can be considered "buy" or "sell" based on the bar's candle structure (body vs. wicks).
Volume-Based Calculations: Buy vs. Sell Volume and Delta
For each bar, the script estimates how much of the aggregated volume can be associated with a "buy side" and a "sell side."
Volume Buy is computed if the bar's close is above the open , giving more weight to the candle's body and allocating some portion of volume to the wicks as well.
Volume Sell is similarly computed if the bar's close is below the open .
This results in a Delta value: Delta = (Buy Volume) – (Sell Volume).
Additionally, the script accumulates these values over a user-defined "lookback length" to provide Cumulative Delta . This can help show longer-term directional volume bias.
Table: Spot vs. Perpetual Comparison
There is a toggle ("Show Spot vs Perpetual Table") that displays an on-chart table comparing volumes:
Buy Volume and Sell Volume for each aggregated category (Spot, Perp, and their sum).
Delta (the difference between Buy and Sell).
Percentage breakdowns of buy vs. sell portions.
This table only appears on the most recent bar and helps users quickly assess how Spot and Perpetual volumes compare, plus the overall total.
PVSRA Color Coding
A "PVSRA-style" color approach classifies each bar based on volume and candle range:
Climax Up (lime) or Climax Down (red) occurs if volume is extremely high relative to a simple moving average of volume and range.
Above-Average Up (blue) or Down (fuchsia) occurs if volume is moderately higher than average.
Otherwise, colors fall back to neutral up/down colors.
This allows you to spot potentially high-volume "climax" bars vs. bars with only moderate or typical volume levels.
Fractals and Divergences
The script detects certain fractal points on the aggregated volumes (sum of buy or sell volumes). It looks for a 5-bar pattern (with the current bar in the middle for top or bottom fractals).
When a fractal is confirmed on buy volume, the script checks if new higher price highs coincide with lower buy-volume peaks (or vice versa) to highlight regular or hidden divergences.
Similar logic is applied on the sell-volume side if new lower price lows occur alongside higher sell-volume troughs (or the opposite).
If enabled in the settings, lines and labels may appear on the chart to mark these divergence points.
"Delta Dot" Events
This script draws small circles above or below bars when the total delta changes magnitude relative to the previous bar by certain user-defined multipliers. It segregates "tiny," "small," "large," and "extra" expansions in bullish or bearish delta.
Bullish Dots : Appear above the bar when the new positive delta is multiple times bigger than the previous positive delta.
Bearish Dots : Appear below the bar in a similar fashion for negative delta.
These dots emphasize large or sudden shifts in buy/sell pressure from one bar to the next.
Delta MA and its Direction
A moving average is calculated on the total delta and optionally multiplied by a factor (in the code, by 4) to make it visually prominent. The user can pick from SMA, EMA, WMA, RMA, or HMA as the smoothing technique.
Delta MA Direction : The script compares the current delta MA to a short SMA of itself to define whether it is rising or falling.
A color is assigned—blue if rising, orange if falling, gray if they're roughly equal.
This helps quickly visualize longer-term momentum in the net delta metric.
Divergences on the Delta MA
After computing the "Delta MA" line, the script detects pivot highs or lows on that line. If the price makes a new high but the Delta MA pivot is lower (and vice versa), it draws lines and small labels indicating potential divergence.
Bearish Divergence : Price makes a higher high, while the Delta MA pivot forms a lower high.
Bullish Divergence : Price makes a lower low, while the Delta MA pivot forms a higher low.
RSI + MFI Computation
The script also calculates a simplified form of RSI+MFI by comparing (close – open) / (high – low) * a multiplier , then smoothing it with a simple average. This is purely for an optional observational measure to see if the price action is leaning bullish or bearish in terms of these combined indicators.
EMA Overlay and Diamond Shapes
There are two standard EMAs (13 and 21). The script checks whether price is above or below these EMAs, in addition to other conditions (like changes in delta, volume, or RSI+MFI direction) to draw diamond shapes at the top or bottom of the chart:
Green Diamonds near the bottom if the conditions line up to suggest that the environment is more favorable for bullish pressure.
Red Diamonds near the top if the environment suggests more bearish pressure.
These diamonds come in two sizes:
Normal – More pronounced, typically plotted if RSI+MFI result is above/below zero.
Small – Plotted if RSI+MFI is on the other side of that threshold.
An optional "Hardcore Mode" adds special tiny diamonds under specific delta color/condition mismatches.
How to Interpret the Chart Elements
Line Plots of Buy and Sell Volumes : A positive line for buy volume, a negative line for sell volume, and a zero-line for reference. This provides at-a-glance perspective on how buy or sell volumes add up per bar.
Histogram "Total Delta" : A color-coded bar that quickly shows whether overall buy vs. sell volume is dominant. The color is governed by the PVSRA logic (e.g., potential climax or above-average conditions).
Volume Table (when enabled): Summarizes volumes in numeric and percentage form for Spot, Perp, and total categories on the last bar.
Delta Dots : Small circles highlighting abrupt changes in delta magnitude. Larger multiples indicate bigger jumps compared to the previous bar.
Fractals & Divergence Lines : Connect pivot points in buy/sell volume or in the Delta MA line with price highs/lows to indicate potential divergences.
Delta MA Plot : Smooth curve (scaled up x4) to reflect longer-term accumulation or distribution in the delta. Colored by whether the MA is above or below a short average of itself.
Diamonds : Appear when certain volume, price, RSI+MFI, and delta conditions converge. Green diamonds near the bottom typically coincide with bullish conditions, red diamonds near the top with bearish conditions.
Practical Usage Notes
Use the Spot vs. Perp breakdown to see if these two market segments differ significantly in their contributions to total volume. This can be informative when a certain type of market (futures vs. spot) might be "driving" price action.
The PVSRA color scheme highlights "climax" or "above-average" volume bars, which can sometimes appear around major reversals or breakouts.
Observing divergences in aggregated buy/sell volume (or in the Delta MA line) can provide additional context on whether certain price moves are backed by strong volume involvement.
The script's fractal divergences rely on short pivot detection. Signals will appear only after enough bars have passed for confirmation, so these are effectively "after-the-fact" notations to illustrate possible volume/price divergences.
The diamonds do not necessarily instruct any buy/sell action; rather, they mark conditions where multiple volume and momentum criteria line up in one direction.
Important Considerations
This script displays aggregated volumes from potentially multiple exchanges. Each exchange or pair might have different time zones, liquidity, or data availability, which can occasionally result in incomplete or zero values.
All references to "buy" or "sell" volume are approximate breakdowns based on candle structure. They are not absolute measures of real-time order flow.
Divergences and fractal points are provided strictly for analytical insight. They can repaint or shift if the fractal conditions were not fully confirmed in real time.
The color-coded lines, histograms, diamonds, and tables are strictly to guide analysis of volume fluctuations and do not claim to predict future price performance.
If you enable "Hardcore Mode," you will see additional diamond markers. This mode is mainly intended as an extra highlight of certain "contradictory" delta conditions.
Summary
The "ZenAlgo - Detector" script brings together a variety of volume-based analyses:
Aggregated volumes from multiple exchanges
A breakdown into Spot vs. Perpetual activity
Delta calculations, fractal divergences, and a specialized Delta Moving Average
Color-coded bars reflecting possible PVSRA concepts
A table to highlight numeric differences and percentages
Additional overlays (e.g., diamonds, RSI+MFI synergy, etc.)
In contrast to many free, single-exchange indicators, this script centralizes multiple exchange volumes in one place, making it easier to observe and compare volume flows across different market types (spot vs. perpetual). Users no longer need to rely on scattered tools or separate overlays to check volume divergences, fractals, or specialized MA calculations—everything is unified here. By carefully monitoring the table, Delta histogram, color-coded bars, divergence lines, and diamond markers, traders can more comprehensively evaluate how volume and price interact. Each plot is designed to showcase different aspects of volume flow—such as whether spot or derivatives markets dominate, if volume is skewed toward buying or selling, and if there are divergences between volume momentum and price movement.
All computations are displayed to help you carry out a more informed market analysis. It is strongly advised to combine these observations with other risk management or analytical methods, rather than relying on any single indicator alone.
