Delta Candle ColorsThe Delta Divergences indicator provides a visual representation of volume delta, which measures the difference between buying pressure and selling pressure within a candle. This is achieved by using intrabar (lower timeframe) volume and price fluctuations to estimate the delta between buying and selling pressure within each bar.
By color-coding candles based on this volume delta, traders can gain insight into the strength behind price movements and spot potential divergences. When a candle closes positively (higher than the previous close) but the volume delta is negative (more selling than buying), or when a candle closes negatively with a positive delta (more buying than selling), it indicates a divergence. These divergences can signal potential trend exhaustion or possible reversals.
The indicator includes custom alerts that notify the trader when these divergences occur:
Positive close with negative delta: Signals that the price is rising, but selling pressure is higher.
Negative close with positive delta: Signals that the price is falling, but buying pressure is higher.
In addition to color-coding candles based on delta, the indicator provides an option to display delta labels directly on the chart for each candle.
Finally, the option to only show divergences can be turned on. When enabled, non-divergent candles are colored normally, while only candles with delta divergences are highlighted, allowing traders to focus on the most relevant market information.

Ultra Money FlowIntroduction
The Ultra Money Flow script is a technical indicator for analyzing stock trends. It highlights buying and selling power, helping you identify bullish (rising) or bearish (falling) market trends.
Detailed Description
The Ultra Money Flow script calculates and visually displays two main components: Fast and Slow money flow. These components represent short-term and long-term trends, respectively.
Here's how it works:
.........
Inputs
You can adjust the speed of analysis (Fast Length and Slow Length) and the type of smoothing applied (e.g., Simple Moving Average, Exponential Moving Average).
Choose colors for visualizing the trends, with blue for bullish (positive) and orange for bearish (negative) movements.
.....
Money Flow Calculation
The script analyzes price changes (delta) over specified periods.
It separates upward price movements (buying power) from downward ones (selling power).
It then calculates the difference between these powers for both Fast and Slow components.
The types of smoothing methods range from traditional ones like the Simple Moving Average (SMA) to advanced ones like the Double Expotential Moving Average (DEMA) or the Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA) or the Recursive Moving Average (RMA) or the Weigthend Moving Average (WMA) or the Volume Weigthend Moving Average (VWMA) or Hull Moving Average (HMA).
Very Special ones are the Triple Weigthend Moving Average (TWMA) wich created RedKTrader .
I created the Multi Weigthend Moving Average (MWMA) wich is a simple signal line to the TWMA.
.....
Divergence
This indicator can show divergence by comparing the direction of price movements with the indicator value.
If the price and the indicator move in opposite directions, you can use these signals to help decide when to buy or sell.
.....
Auto Scaling
The script adjusts its calculations based on the time frame you are viewing, whether it's minutes, hours, or days, ensuring accurate representation across different time scales.
.....
Plotting
The script plots the Fast component as a histogram and the Slow component as a line, using the chosen colors to indicate bullish or bearish trends.
The thickness and transparency of these plots give additional clues about the strength of the trend.
.........
By using this indicator, traders can easily spot shifts in buying and selling power, allowing for better-informed decisions in the market.
Special Thanks
I use the TWMA-Function created from RedKTrader to smooth the values.
Special thanks to him for creating and sharing this function!
Open Interest (OI) Delta [UAlgo]The Open Interest (OI) Delta indicator is a tool designed to provide insights into the dynamics of Open Interest changes within the futures market. Open Interest (OI) refers to the total number of outstanding derivative contracts, such as options or futures, that have not been settled. The OI Delta measures the change in Open Interest over a specified period, allowing traders to assess whether new money is entering the market or existing positions are being closed.
This indicator offers two distinct display modes to visualize OI Delta, along with customizable levels that help in categorizing the magnitude of OI changes. Additionally, it provides the option to color-code the bars on the price chart based on the intensity and direction of OI Delta, making it easier for traders to interpret market sentiment and potential future price movements.
🔶 Key Features
Two Display Modes: Choose between two different modes for visualizing OI Delta, depending on your analysis preferences:
Mode 1: Displays the OI Delta directly as positive or negative values.
Mode 2: Separates positive and negative OI Delta values, displaying them as absolute values for easier comparison.
Customizable Levels: Set up to four levels of OI Delta magnitude, each with customizable thresholds and colors. These levels help categorize the OI changes into Normal, Medium, Large, and Extreme ranges, allowing for a more nuanced interpretation of market activity.
MA Length and Standard Deviation Period: Adjust the moving average length and standard deviation period for OI Delta, which smooths out the data and helps in identifying significant deviations from the norm.
Color-Coded Bar Chart: Optionally color the price bars on your chart based on the OI Delta levels, helping to visually correlate price action with changes in Open Interest.
Heatmap Display: Toggle the display of OI Delta levels on the chart, with the option to fill the areas between these levels for a more visually intuitive understanding of the data.
🔶 Interpreting Indicator
Positive vs. Negative OI Delta:
A positive OI Delta indicates that the Open Interest is increasing, suggesting that new contracts are being created, which could imply fresh capital entering the market.
A negative OI Delta suggests that Open Interest is decreasing, indicating that contracts are being closed out or settled, which might reflect profit-taking or a reduction in market interest.
Magnitude Levels:
Level 1 (Normal OI Δ): Represents typical, less significant changes in OI. If the OI Delta stays within this range, it may indicate routine market activity without any substantial shift in sentiment.
Level 2 (Medium OI Δ): Reflects a more significant change in OI, suggesting increased market interest and possibly the beginning of a new trend or phase of market participation.
Level 3 (Large OI Δ): Indicates a strong change in OI, often associated with a decisive move in the market. This could signify strong conviction among market participants, either bullish or bearish.
Level 4 (Extreme OI Δ): The highest level of OI change, often preceding major market moves. Extreme OI Δ can be a signal of potential market reversals or the final phase of a strong trend.
Color-Coded Bars:
When enabled, the color of the price bars will reflect the magnitude and direction of the OI Delta. This visual aid helps in quickly assessing the correlation between price movements and changes in market sentiment as indicated by OI.
This indicator is particularly useful for futures traders looking to gauge the strength and direction of market sentiment by analyzing changes in Open Interest. By combining this with price action, traders can gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics and make more informed trading decisions

Volume Positive & Negative Levels [ChartPrime]Volume Positive & Negative Levels
Overview:
The Volume Positive & Negative Levels indicator by ChartPrime is designed to provide traders with a clear visualization of volume activity across different price levels. By plotting volume levels as histograms, this tool helps identify significant areas of buying (positive volume) and selling (negative volume) pressure, enhancing the ability to spot potential support and resistance zones.
Key Features:
⯁ Lookback Period:
- The `lookbackPeriod` parameter, set to 500 bars, determines the range over which the volume analysis is conducted, ensuring a comprehensive view of the market’s volume activity. The maximum lookback period is 500 bars or the bars currently visible on the chart, whichever is smaller.
⯁ Dynamic Volume Calculation:
- Volume is calculated dynamically based on the price action, with positive volume indicating buying pressure (close > open) and negative volume indicating selling pressure (close < open).
⯁ Color Coding for Clarity:
- Positive Volume: Represented with a distinct color (`#ad9a2c`), making it easy to identify areas of buying interest.
- Negative Volume: Highlighted with another color (`#ad2cad`), simplifying the detection of selling pressure.
Volume Threshold and Bins:
- The indicator allows users to set a volume threshold (`volume_level`) to highlight significant volume levels, with the default set at 70.
- The number of bins (`numBins`) defines the granularity of the volume profile, with a higher number providing more detail.
⯁ Volume Profile Visualization:
- The volume profile is plotted as a histogram, with the height of each bar proportional to the volume at that price level. This visualization helps in quickly assessing the strength of volume at various price points.
⯁ Interactive Labels and Threshold Indicators:
- Labels: The indicator uses labels to mark significant volume levels, providing quick reference points for traders.
- Threshold Lines: Lines are drawn at specified volume thresholds, with colors and widths dynamically adjusted based on the volume levels.
⯁ User Inputs:
- Volume Threshold (`volume_level`): Sets the minimum volume required to highlight significant levels.
- Number of Bins (`numBins`): Determines the resolution of the volume profile.
- Line Width (`line_withd`): Specifies the width of the lines used in the visualization.
The Volume Positive & Negative Levels indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to gain deeper insights into market dynamics. By providing a clear visual representation of volume activity across different price levels, it helps traders identify key support and resistance zones, spot trends, and make more informed trading decisions. Whether you are a day trader or a swing trader, this indicator enhances your ability to analyze volume data effectively, improving your overall trading strategy.
Depth of Market (DOM) [LuxAlgo]The Depth Of Market (DOM) tool allows traders to look under the hood of any market, taking price and volume analysis to the next level. The following features are included: DOM, Time & Sales, Volume Profile, Depth of Market, Imbalances, Buying Pressure, and up to 24 key intraday levels (it really packs a punch).
As a disclaimer, this tool does not use tick data, it is a DOM reconstruction from the provided real-time time series data (price and volume). So the volume you see is from filled orders only, this tool does not show unfilled limit orders.
Traders can enable or disable any of the features at will to avoid being overwhelmed with too much information and to make the tool perform faster.
The features that have the biggest impact on performance are Historical Data Collection, Key Levels (POC & VWAP), Time & Sales, Profile, and Imbalances. Disable these features to improve the indicator computational performance.
🔶 DOM
This is the simplest form of the tool, a simple DOM or ladder that displays the following columns:
PRICE: Price level
BID: Total number of market sell orders filled or limit buy orders filled.
SELL: Sell market orders
BUY: Buy market orders
ASK: Total number of market buy orders filled or limit sell orders filled.
The DOM only collects historical data from the last 24 hours and real-time data.
Traders can select a reset period for the DOM with two options:
DAILY: Resets at the beginning of each trading day
SESSIONS: Resets twice, as DAILY and 15.5 hours later, to coincide with the start of the RTH session for US tickers.
The DOM has two main modes, it can display price levels as ticks or points. The default is automatic based on the current daily volatility, but traders can manually force one mode or the other if they wish.
For convenience, traders have the option to set the number of lines (price levels), and the size of the text and to display only real-time data.
By default, the top price is set to 0 so that the DOM automatically adjusts the price levels to be displayed, but traders can set the top price manually so that the tool displays only the desired price levels in a fixed manner.
🔹 Volume Profile
As additional features to the basic DOM, traders have access to the volume profile histogram and the total volume per price level.
This helps traders identify at a glance key price areas where volume is accumulating (high volume nodes) or areas where volume is lacking (low volume nodes) - these areas are important to some traders who base their decision-making process on them.
🔹 Imbalances
Other added features are imbalances and buying pressure:
Interlevel Imbalance: volume delta between two different price levels
Intralevel Imbalance: delta between buy and sell volume at the same price level
Buying Pressure Percent: percentage of buy volume compared to total volume
Imbalances can help traders identify areas of interest in the price for possible support or resistance.
🔹 Depth
Depth allows traders to see at a glance how much supply is above the current price level or how much demand is below the current price level.
Above the current price level shows the cumulative ask volume (filled sell limit orders) and below the current price level shows the cumulative bid volume (filled buy limit orders).
🔶 KEY LEVELS
The tool includes up to 24 different key intraday levels of particular relevance:
Previous Week Levels
PWH: Previous week high
PWL: Previous week low
PWM: Previous week middle
PWS: Previous week settlement (close)
Previous Day Levels
PDH: Previous day high
PDL: Previous day low
PDM: Previous day middle
PDS: Previous day settlement (close)
Current Day Levels
OPEN: Open of day (or session)
HOD: High of day (or session)
LOD: Low of day (or session)
MOD: Middle of day (or session)
Opening Range
ORH: Open range high
ORL: Open range low
Initial Balance
IBH: Initial balance high
IBL: Initial balance low
VWAP
+3SD: Volume weighted average price plus 3 standard deviations
+2SD: Volume weighted average price plus 2 standard deviations
+1SD: Volume weighted average price plus 1 standard deviation
VWAP: Volume weighted average price
-1SD: Volume weighted average price minus 1 standard deviation
-2SD: Volume weighted average price minus 2 standard deviations
-3SD: Volume weighted average price minus 3 standard deviations
POC: Point of control
Different traders look at different levels, the key levels shown here are objective and specific areas of interest that traders can act on, providing us with potential areas of support or resistance in the price.
🔶 TIME & SALES
The tool also features a full-time and sales panel with time, price, and size columns, a size filter, and the ability to set the timezone to display time in the trader's local time.
The information shown here is what feeds the DOM and it can be useful in several ways, for example in detecting absorption. If a large number of orders are coming into the market but the price is barely moving, this indicates that there is enough liquidity at these levels to absorb all these orders, so if these orders stop coming into the market, the price may turn around.
🔶 SETTINGS
Period: Select the anchoring period to start data collection, DAILY will anchor at the start of the trading day, and SESSIONS will start as DAILY and 15.5 hours later (RTH for US tickers).
Mode: Select between AUTO and MANUAL modes for displaying TICKS or POINTS, in AUTO mode the tool will automatically select TICKS for tickers with a daily average volatility below 5000 ticks and POINTS for the rest of the tickers.
Rows: Select the number of price levels to display
Text Size: Select the text size

🚀 Quick Guide to Using the Net Buying/Selling Flows Toolkit :
🔍 Add the Indicator : Add the indicator to you favorites. Customize the settings to fit your trading requirements.
👁️🗨️ Data Analysis : Compare the trend of Buying and Selling to help indicate whether bulls or bears are in control of the market. Utilize the different display modes to present the data in different form to suite your analysis style.
🔔 Set Alerts : Activate alerts for reversal conditions to keep abreast of significant market movements without having to monitor the charts constantly.
🌐 How It Works :
The toolkit processes volume data on a lower timeframe to distinguish between buying and selling pressures based on intra-bar price closing higher or lower than it opened. It aggregates these transactions and finds the net selling and buying that took place during that bar, offering a clearer view of market fundamentals. The indicator then plots this data visually with multiple modes including comparisons between buying/selling and the net flow of the asset. Deviation thresholds help in identifying significant changes, allowing traders to spot potential buying or selling opportunities based on the money flow dynamics. The "Sum of Flows" mode is unique from other trend following indicators as it does not determine trend based on price action, but rather based on the net buying/selling. Therefore in some cases the "Sum of Flows" mode can be a leading indicator showing bullish/bearish net flows even before the prices move significantly.
Embark on a more informed trading journey with this dynamic and insightful tool, tailor-made for those who demand precision and clarity in their trading strategies. 🌟📉📈
Volume Delta [hapharmonic]Volume Delta: Volume Delta is an indicator that simplifies how you analyze trading volumes and the percentage of buy-sell activities effortlessly.
As a trader or market analyst, understanding underlying volume and trade flows is critical. The Volume Delta indicator provides thorough insight into both the total volume and the percentage of buying versus selling within the current candlestick. This information is pivotal for those looking to gauge market momentum and sentiment more effectively.
Additionally, the Volume Delta indicator can plot the candlestick colors based on the percentage of the dominant buying or selling volume. The area between the open and close prices of the candlestick is considered 100% and fills with colors corresponding to the predominant volume at that percentage.
Volume Delta also integrates the concept of Net volume. This component is crucial as it reveals the real market sentiment by calculating the difference between the volume of trades executed at an uptick and those at a downtick.
🟠 Overview
This indicator now displays in two layouts. Recently, Tradingview introduced the "force_overlay=true" function in Pine Script , allowing plots to be moved to the main chart. Thus, all displays are from the same indicator.
🟠 USAGE
From the data displayed in 'plot.style_columns' , the peak area represents the entire volume, accounting for 100%. Within this area, there are two color levels indicating volume. If one type of volume, whether buying or selling, exceeds the other, the larger volume will be positioned behind and the smaller in front. This arrangement prevents the scenario where a higher buying volume obscures the smaller selling volume. Therefore, the two colors can be switched between the front and the back as needed.
As you can see, the 12 and 26-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are used, with the Volume Confirmation Length set at 6. Therefore, the crossing of the EMAs proceeds normally, but it is highlighted with three triangular arrows to indicate a high likelihood of a valid crossover. However, if the volume is insufficient, these markers won't be displayed, although the EMA crossover will still occur as usual. This can be useful for using volume to verify the significance of the EMA crossover.
🟠 Setting
If you enable the label, please be aware that the chart size will shrink, causing the candlestick display to become unclear. Therefore, you might need to select "Logarithmic" at the bottom right of your screen, or for mobile applications, press and hold on the price scale and choose "Logarithmic" to adjust the scale appropriately.
Enjoy!
Volume Delta Candles [LuxAlgo]Volume Delta Candles provides insights about Intrabar trading activity in an easy-to-interpret manner. Lower timeframe or real-time data is used for displaying Volume Delta percentage against the total volume as a coloured bar part.
The script also highlights the intrabar price with the maximum trading activity, as well as complementary information.
🔶 USAGE
The tool focuses on intrabar volume to provide more information about the trading activity associated with a candle, without having to use an external volume indicator.
Each indicator components is further explained below:
🔹 Volume Delta
The volume delta is obtained by the difference between buy volume and sell volume, where buy volume is the volume associated with a bullish intrabar candle, and sell volume with a bearish intrabar candle.
Positive volume delta is displayed with a green candle area, while negative delta is displayed with a red candle area.
🔹 Bar Coloring
The script displays VD as a percentage of the whole, or from the candle half, depending on the setting ' Display '.
Bars can be coloured as follows:
Full (100%) when Display is set at ' Full Bar '
Half (50% or 100% of half a bar) when Display is set at ' Half Bar '
A negative VD (more bearish than bullish volume) will fill the bar from the top (or centre) of the bar towards the bottom, and a positive VD will fill a bar from the bottom (or centre) of the bar towards the top.
A negative VD on a green candle will show a red-coloured VD against a green-bordered candle. On the other hand, a positive VD on a red candle will show a green-coloured VD against a red-bordered candle.
Colours for VD sentiment opposite to the candle sentiment can be set differently if desired.
🔹 Highest Volume Price Level
The script displays a white (black on light mode) line highlighting the intrabar price level with the highest volume.
When ' Show Previous Max Volume Price ' is checked, a white (black on light mode) dot is displayed 1 bar to the right.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Tick/LTF data
The above example used Lower TimeFrame (LTF) data.
The following example uses real-time tick data ( Settings -> Data From )
Both options, LTF or tick data, will show a vertical dotted line where the data starts.
🔹 LTF settings
When ' Data from ' LTF is chosen and ' Auto ' enabled, the LTF will be the nearest possible x times smaller TF than the current TF. When 'Premium' is disabled, the minimum TF will always be 1 minute to ensure TradingView plans lower than Premium don't get an error.
Examples with current Daily TF (when Premium is enabled):
500 : 3 minute LTF
1500 (default): 1 minute LTF
5000: 30 seconds LTF (1 minute if Premium is disabled)
🔹 Notes
Different LTFs give different data, which means different results; this doesn't mean it isn't correct; they are just different data sets.
(LTF is displayed at the top right corner)
To ensure maximum visibility of values, we recommend using Bars from the Bar's style menu.
🔶 SETTINGS
Data from: Lower TimeFrame or real-time Tick data
Resolution: LTF setting

Periodic Activity Tracker [LuxAlgo]The Periodic Activity Tracker tool periodically tracks the cumulative buy and sell volume in a user-defined period and draws the corresponding matching bars and volume delta for each period.
Users can select a predefined aggregation period from the following options: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly.
🔶 USAGE
This tool provides a simple and clear way of analyzing volumes for each aggregated period and is made up of the following elements:
Buy and sell volumes by period as red and green lines with color gradient area
Delta (difference) between buy & sell volume for each period
Buy & sell volume bars for each period
Separator between lines and bars, and period tags below each pair of bars for ease of reading
On the chart above we can see all the elements displayed, the volume level on the lines perfectly matches the volume level on the bars for each period.
In this case, the tool has the default settings so the anchor period is set to Daily and we can see how the period tag (each day of the week) is displayed below each pair of bars.
Users can disable the delta display and adjust the bar size.
🔹 Reading The Tool
In trading, assessing the strength of the bulls (buyers) and bears (sellers) is key to understanding the current trading environment. Which side, if any, has the upper hand? To answer this question, some traders look at volume in relation to price.
This tool provides you with a view of buy volume versus sell volume, allowing you to compare both sides of the market.
As with any volume tool, the key is to understand when the forces of the two groups are balanced or unbalanced.
As we can observe on the chart:
NOV '23: Buy volume greater than sell volume, both moving up close together, flat delta. We can see that the price is in range.
DEC '23: Buy volume bigger than Sell volume, both moving up but with a bigger difference, bigger delta than last month but still flat. We can see the price in the range above last month's range.
JAN '24: Buy and sell volume tied together, no delta whatsoever. We can see the price in range but testing above and below last month's range.
FEB '24: Buy volume explodes higher and sell volume cannot keep up, big growing delta. Price explodes higher above last month's range.
Traders need to understand that there is always an equal number of buyers and sellers in a liquid market, the quality here is how aggressive or passive they are. Who is 'attacking' and who is 'defending', who is using market orders to move prices, and who is using limit orders waiting to be filled?
This tool gives you the following information:
Lines: if the top line is green, the buyers are attacking, if it is red, the sellers are attacking.
Delta: represents the difference in their strength, if it is above 0 the buyers are stronger, if it is below 0 the sellers are stronger.
Bars: help you to see the difference in strength between buyers and sellers for each period at a glance.
🔹 Anchor Period
By default, the tool is set to Hourly. However, users can select from a number of predefined time periods.
Depending on the user's selection, the bars are displayed as follows:
Hourly : hours of the current day
Daily : days of the current week
Weekly : weeks of the current month
Monthly : months of the current year
On the chart above we can see the four periods displayed, starting at the top left and moving clockwise we have hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Chart TimeFrame
The chart timeframe has a direct impact on the visualization of the tool, and the user should select a chart timeframe that is compatible with the Anchor period in the tool's settings panel.
For the chart timeframe to be compatible it must be less than the Anchor period parameter. If the user selects an incompatible chart timeframe, a warning message will be displayed.
As a rule of thumb, the smaller the chart timeframe, the more data the tool will collect, returning indications for longer-term price variations.
These are the recommended chart timeframes for each period:
Hourly : 5m charts or lower
Daily : 1H charts or lower
Weekly : 4H charts or lower
Monthly : 1D charts or lower
🔹 Warnings
This chart shows both types of warnings the user may receive
At the top, we can see the warning that is given when the 'Bar Width' parameter exceeds the allowed value.
At the bottom is the incompatible chart timeframe warning, which prompts the user to select a smaller chart timeframe or a larger "Anchor Period" parameter.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Data Gathering
Anchor period: Time period representing each bar: hours of the day, days of the week, weeks of the month, and months of the year. The timeframe of the chart must be less than this parameter, otherwise a warning will be displayed.
🔹 Style
Bars width: Size of each bar, there is a maximum limit so a warning will be displayed if it is reached.
Volume color
Delta: Enable/Disable Delta Area Display
Delta ZigZag [LuxAlgo]The Delta ZigZag indicator is focused on volume analysis during the development of ZigZag lines. Volume data can be retrieved from a Lower timeframe (LTF) or real-time Tick data.
Our Delta ZigZag publication can be helpful in detecting indications of a trend reversal or potential weakening/strengthening of the trend.
This indicator by its very nature backpaints, meaning that the displayed components are offset in the past.
🔶 USAGE
The ZigZag line is formed by connecting Swings , which can be set by adjusting the Left and Right settings.
Left is the number of bars for evaluation at the left of the evaluated point.
Right is the number of bars for evaluation at the right of the evaluated point.
A valid Swing is a value higher or lower than the bars at the left/right .
A higher Left or Right set number will generally create broader ZigZag ( ZZ ) lines, while the drawing of the ZZ line will be delayed (especially when Right is set higher). On the other hand, when Right is set at 0, ZZ line are drawn quickly. However, this results in a hyperactive switching of the ZZ direction.
To ensure maximum visibility of values, we recommend using " Bars " from the " Bar's style " menu.
🔹 Volume examination
The script provides two options for Volume examination :
Examination per ZigZag line
Examination per bar
Bullish Volume is volume associated with a green bar ( close > open )
Bearish Volume is volume associated with a red bar ( close < open )
Neutral Volume (volume on a " close == open" bar) is not included in this publication.
🔹 Examination per ZigZag line
As long as the price moves in the same direction, the present ZZ line will continue. When the direction of the price changes, the bull/bear volume of the previous ZZ line is evaluated and drawn on the chart.
The ZZ line is divided into two parts: a bullish green line and a bearish red line.
The intercept of these two lines will depend on the ratio of bullish/bearish volume
This ratio is displayed at the intercept as % bullish volume (Settings -> Show % Bullish Volume)
* Note that we cannot draw between 2 bars. Therefore, if a ZZ line is only 1 bar long, the intercept will be at one of those 2 bars and not in between. The percentage can be helpful in interpreting bull/bear volume.
In the example above (2 most right labels), you can see that an overlap of 2 labels is prevented, ensuring the ability to evaluate the bullish % volume of the ZZ line .
The percentage will be colored green when more than 50%, red otherwise. The color will fade when the direction is contradictory; for example, 40% when the ZZ line goes up or 70% when the ZZ line falls.
More details can be visualized by enabling " Show " and choosing 1 of 3 options:
Average Volume Delta/bar
Average Volume/bar
Normalised Volume Delta
For both 'averages', the sum of " Volume "/" Volume Delta " of every bar on the ZZ line is divided by the number of bars (per ZZ line ).
The " Normalised Volume Delta " is calculated by dividing the sum of " Delta Volume " by the sum of " Volume " (neutral volume not included), which is displayed as a percentage.
All three options will display a label at the last point of the ZZ line and be coloured similarly: green when the ratio bullish/bearish volume of the ZZ line is bullish and red otherwise. Here, the colour also fades when it is bullish, but the ZZ line falls or when it is bearish with a rising ZZ line .
A tooltip at each label hints at the chosen option.
You can pick one of the options or combine them together.
🔹 Examination per bar
Besides information about what's happening during the ZZ line , information per bar can be visualized by enabling " Show Details " in Settings .
Split Volume per bar : show the sum of bullish (upV) and bearish (dnV) volume per bar
Volume (bar) : Total Volume per bar (bullish + bearish volume, neutral volume not included)
Δ Volume (bar) : Show Delta Volume (bullish - bearish volume)
🔹 Using Lower Timeframe Data
The ZigZag lines using LTF data are colored brighter. Also note the vertical line where the LTF data starts and the gap between ZZ lines with LTF data and without.
When " LTF " is chosen for the " Data from: " option in Settings , data is retrieved from Lower Timeframe bars (default 1 minute). When the LTF setting is higher than the current chart timeframe, the LTF period will automatically be adjusted to the current timeframe to prevent errors.
As there is a 100K limit to the number of LTF intrabars that can be analyzed by a script, this implies the higher the difference between LTF and current TF; the fewer ZZ lines will be seen.
🔹 Using real-time tick data
The principles are mostly the same as those of LTF data. However, in contrast with LTF data, where you already have LTF ZZ lines when loading the script, real-time tick data-based ZZ lines will only start after loading the chart.
Changing the settings of a ticker will reset everything. However, returning to the same settings/ticker would show the cached data again.
Here, you can see that changing settings reset everything, but returning after 2 minutes to the initial settings shows the cached data. Don't expect it to be cached for hours or days, though.
🔶 DETAILS
The timeframe used for LTF data should always be the same or lower than the current TF; otherwise, an error occurs. This snippet prevents the error and adjusts the LTF to the current TF when LTF is too high:
res = input.timeframe('1')
res := timeframe.from_seconds( math.min( timeframe.in_seconds(timeframe.period), timeframe.in_seconds(res) ) )
🔶 SETTINGS
Data from: LTF (Lower TimeFrame) or Ticks (Real-time ticks)
Res: Lower TimeFrame (only applicable when choosing LTF )
Option: choose " high/low " or " close " for Swing detection
🔹 ZigZag
Left: Lookback period for Swings
Right: Confirmation period after potential Swing
🔹 ZigZag Delta
Show % Bullish Volume : % bullish volume against total volume during the ZZ line
Show:
Average Volume Delta/bar
Average Volume/bar
Normalised Volume Delta
See USAGE for more information
🔹 Bar Data
Split Volume per bar: shows the sum of bullish ( upV ) and bearish ( dnV ) volume per bar
Volume (bar): Total Volume per bar (bullish + bearish volume, neutral volume not included)
Δ Volume (bar): Show Volume Delta (bullish - bearish volume)
BetaBeta , also known as the Beta coefficient, is a measure that compares the volatility of an individual underlying or portfolio to the volatility of the entire market, typically represented by a market index like the S&P 500 or an investible product such as the SPY ETF (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust). A Beta value provides insight into how an asset's returns are expected to respond to market swings.
Interpretation of Beta Values
Beta = 1: The asset's volatility is in line with the market. If the market rises or falls, the asset is expected to move correspondingly.
Beta > 1: The asset is more volatile than the market. If the market rises or falls, the asset's price is expected to rise or fall more significantly.
Beta < 1 but > 0: The asset is less volatile than the market. It still moves in the same direction as the market but with less magnitude.
Beta = 0: The asset's returns are not correlated with the market's returns.
Beta < 0: The asset moves in the opposite direction to the market.
Example
A beta of 1.20 relative to the S&P 500 Index or SPY implies that if the S&P's return increases by 1%, the portfolio is expected to increase by 12.0%.
A beta of -0.10 relative to the S&P 500 Index or SPY implies that if the S&P's return increases by 1%, the portfolio is expected to decrease by 0.1%. In practical terms, this implies that the portfolio is expected to be predominantly 'market neutral' .
Calculation & Default Values
The Beta of an asset is calculated by dividing the covariance of the asset's returns with the market's returns by the variance of the market's returns over a certain period (standard period: 1 years, 250 trading days). Hint: It's noteworthy to mention that Beta can also be derived through linear regression analysis, although this technique is not employed in this Beta Indicator.
Formula: Beta = Covariance(Asset Returns, Market Returns) / Variance(Market Returns)
Reference Market: Essentially any reference market index or product can be used. The default reference is the SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust), primarily due to its investable nature and broad representation of the market. However, it's crucial to note that Beta can also be calculated by comparing specific underlyings, such as two different stocks or commodities, instead of comparing an asset to the broader market. This flexibility allows for a more tailored analysis of volatility and correlation, depending on the user's specific trading or investment focus.
Look-back Period: The standard look-back period is typically 1-5 years (250-1250 trading days), but this can be adjusted based on the user's preference and the specifics of the trading strategy. For robust estimations, use at least 250 trading days.
Option Delta: An optional feature in the Beta Indicator is the ability to select a specific Delta value if options are written on the underlying asset with Deltas less than 1, providing an estimation of the beta-weighted delta of the position. It involves multiplying the beta of the underlying asset by the delta of the option. This addition allows for a more precise assessment of the underlying asset's correspondence with the overall market in case you are an options trader. The default Delta value is set to 1, representing scenarios where no options on the underlying asset are being analyzed. This default setting aligns with analyzing the direct relationship between the asset itself and the market, without the layer of complexity introduced by options.
Calculation: Simple or Log Returns: In the calculation of Beta, users have the option to choose between using simple returns or log returns for both the asset and the market. The default setting is 'Simple Returns'.
Advantages of Using Beta
Risk Management: Beta provides a clear metric for understanding and managing the risk of a portfolio in relation to market movements.
Portfolio Diversification: By knowing the beta of various assets, investors can create a balanced portfolio that aligns with their risk tolerance and investment goals.
Performance Benchmarking: Beta allows investors to compare an asset's risk-adjusted performance against the market or other benchmarks.
Beta-Weighted Deltas for Options Traders
For options traders, understanding the beta-weighted delta is crucial. It involves multiplying the beta of the underlying asset by the delta of the option. This provides a more nuanced view of the option's risk relative to the overall market. However, it's important to note that the delta of an option is dynamic, changing with the asset's price, time to expiration, and other factors.
Trended CVD [Mxwll]Hey!
This indicator "Trended CVD" categorizes price movement by trend (using zig zag) and calculates cumulative volume delta for the entirety of the price move.
Features
CVD calculated for the trend
CVD divergences are distinguished (uptrend and falling CVD / downtrend and rising CVD)
CVD output normalized to scale with chart, and is plotted alongside the trend
Can be used for trend confirmation (CVD trend correlating with price trend)
All regular zig-zag features available
What constitutes a trend is customizable. Can locate small, medium, large price trends with detailed user-input settings.
How-To Use Trended CVD
The image above shows one of two primary uses for the indicator.
In the left-half of the image, price is downtrending simultaneously with CVD; thereby, CVD is confirming the downtrend.
The right-half of the image shows price uptrending simultaneously with CVD; CVD is confirming the uptrend.
This information can be used to classify the "strength" of the price move, and decide to trade with it or against it.
The image above shows the second primary use for the indicator.
A slight price decrease transpires while CVD increases - CVD diverging upwards from the price trend.
This information can be used to classify the strength of the downtrend, and decide to trade against it, or abstain from trading with it.
The image above shows, subsequent to divergence, price failed to sustain "meaningful" downwards movement.
Labels oriented at the final pivot of a trend show the cumulative volume delta for the entirety of the price move (distinguishable by the superimposed zig zag line).
That's really it! A more complex concept integrated with a simple output.
Thank you!

Delta Zones Buy/Sell PressureScript Description:
Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure Indicator
Description:
The "Delta Zones Buy/Sell Pressure" indicator, created by the original author "scarf", is a technical tool that unveils key areas of buying and selling pressure in the market. This indicator utilizes the concept of Delta, calculating differences between open, close, high, and low prices. When these differences exceed a threshold determined by the user-defined standard deviation, areas of intense buying (indicated by green boxes) and selling pressure (indicated by red boxes) on the chart are identified.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates Delta using various combinations of candle prices to determine buying and selling pressure. When Delta surpasses a certain level, indicated by the user-defined standard deviation, visual signals in the form of boxes on the chart are generated. These boxes highlight specific areas where buying or selling pressure is particularly strong, aiding traders in identifying potential entry and exit points in the market.
How to Use:
* When a green box is drawn, it indicates strong buying pressure in the market. This can be interpreted as a signal to consider long positions.
* When a red box is drawn, it indicates strong selling pressure in the market. This can be interpreted as a signal to consider short positions.
* Use these signals in combination with your own analysis and risk management strategies to make informed trading decisions.
Originality:
What makes this indicator original is its unique approach to identifying specific areas of buying and selling pressure. By calculating Delta in multiple ways and utilizing standard deviation as a filter, this indicator provides clear and concise visual signals about market activity. The combination of these features distinguishes it as a valuable tool for traders seeking a better understanding of market behavior. This modification differs from the original by displaying the information on the price chart with horizontal bars, below each delta, instead of an oscillator at the bottom similar to the volume indicator.
Final Recommendations:

Volume Delta CandlesThis indicator is designed to visualize the volume delta, which represents the difference between buying and selling volumes during each candle period. The indicator plots custom candlesticks on the chart, with OHLC values calculated based on the volume delta.
Calculations:
To calculate the volume delta, the indicator first determines the buying and selling volumes. If the closing price is higher than the opening price (close > open), the volume is considered as buying volume. If the closing price is lower than the opening price (close < open), the volume is considered as selling volume. Otherwise, the volume is set to zero. The volume delta is then calculated as the difference between the buying volume and the selling volume.
The custom OHLC values are derived from the volume delta. The custom open is obtained by subtracting the volume delta from the closing price. The custom close is obtained by adding the volume delta to the closing price. The custom high is set as the maximum value between the closing price and the custom open, ensuring that the candle represents the highest value within the range. The custom low is set as the minimum value between the closing price and the custom open, ensuring that the candle represents the lowest value within the range.
Interpretation:
The indicator's custom candles provide visual insights into the volume delta. Each candlestick's color (lime for positive volume delta, fuchsia for negative volume delta) indicates the dominance of buying or selling pressure during that period. When the volume delta is positive, it suggests that buying volume exceeded selling volume, possibly indicating a bullish sentiment. Conversely, when the volume delta is negative, it indicates that selling volume was higher, potentially signaling a bearish sentiment. The indicator also plots a zero line to represent the equilibrium point, where buying and selling volumes are equal.
Potential Uses and Limitations:
Traders can use the indicator to gain insights into the strength and direction of buying and selling pressures. Positive volume delta during an uptrend could suggest the presence of strong buying interest, potentially supporting further bullish moves. On the other hand, negative volume delta during a downtrend could indicate intensified selling pressure, hinting at potential further declines. Traders might use the indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as support and resistance levels, trendlines, or oscillators, to confirm potential reversal points or trend continuations.
It's essential to interpret the indicator in the context of the overall market environment. While volume delta can provide valuable insights into short-term buying and selling imbalances, it is just one aspect of market analysis. Traders should consider other factors, such as market structure, fundamental events, and overall sentiment, to make informed trading decisions. Additionally, the indicator's efficacy might vary across different market conditions, and it may produce false signals during low-volume periods or choppy markets.
Conclusion:
By visualizing volume delta through custom candlesticks, traders can gauge market sentiment and potentially identify key reversal or continuation points. As with any technical indicator, it is advisable to use the Volume Delta Candles in combination with other tools to gain a comprehensive understanding of market conditions and make well-informed trading choices. Additionally, traders should practice proper risk management techniques to protect their capital while using the indicator in their trading strategy.
ATR DeltaThe ATR Delta indicator is based on the concept of Average True Range (ATR), which reflects the average price range over a specified period. By calculating the difference between current and previous ATR values, the ATR Delta provides valuable insights into volatility shifts in the market. This information can help traders identify periods of heightened or diminished price movement, enabling them to adjust their strategies accordingly.
The ATR Delta indicator consists of two main calculations:
-- ATR Calculation : The Average True Range (ATR) is calculated using the specified length parameter. It measures the average price range (including gaps) during that period. A larger ATR value indicates higher volatility, while a smaller value indicates lower volatility.
-- ATR Delta Calculation : The ATR Delta is calculated by subtracting the ATR value of the previous bar from the current ATR value. This calculation captures the change in volatility between the two periods, providing a measure of how volatility has evolved.
Positive ATR Delta values indicate an increase in volatility compared to the previous period. It suggests that price movements have expanded, potentially indicating a more active market. On the other hand, negative ATR Delta values indicate a decrease in volatility compared to the previous period. It suggests that price movements have contracted, potentially signaling a calmer or range-bound market.
The ATR Delta indicator uses coloration to visually represent the relationship between the ATR Delta, zero, and a signal line:
-- Green color is assigned when the ATR Delta is positive, above the signal line, and increasing. This coloration suggests a scenario of higher volatility, as the market is experiencing upward momentum in price swings.
-- Red color is assigned when the ATR Delta is negative, below the signal line, and decreasing. This coloration suggests a scenario of lower volatility, as the market is experiencing downward momentum in price swings.
-- Gray color is assigned for other cases when the ATR Delta and signal line relationship does not meet the above conditions.
These colors are reflected in the columns of the ATR Delta as well as the bar coloration.
The ATR Delta indicator includes a signal line, which acts as a reference for interpreting the ATR Delta values. The signal line is calculated as a moving average (EMA) of the ATR Delta over a specified length. It helps smooth out the ATR Delta fluctuations, providing a clearer indication of the underlying trend in volatility changes. When the ATR Delta crosses above the signal line, it may suggest a potential increase in volatility, indicating a market that is becoming more active. Conversely, when the ATR Delta crosses below the signal line, it may suggest a potential decrease in volatility, indicating a market that is becoming less active.
The coloration of the signal line in the ATR Delta indicator helps to differentiate between positive and negative values and provides further insight into market sentiment. When the signal line is positive, indicating increasing volatility, it is colored lime. This color choice reinforces the bullish sentiment and signifies potential opportunities for trend continuation or breakouts. On the other hand, when the signal line is negative, indicating decreasing volatility, it is colored fuchsia. This color choice highlights the bearish sentiment and suggests potential range-bound or consolidation periods. These colors are reflected in the background of the indicator.
The ATR Delta indicator offers several potential applications for traders:
-- Volatility Analysis : The ATR Delta is invaluable for understanding and analyzing volatility dynamics in the market. Traders can observe the changes in ATR Delta values and use them to assess the current level of price movement. This information can help determine the appropriate strategies and risk management approaches.
-- Breakout Strategies : Traders often use the ATR Delta to identify periods of increased volatility, which frequently accompany breakouts. By monitoring the ATR Delta, traders can anticipate potential price breakouts and adjust their entry and exit levels accordingly.
-- Trend Confirmation : Combining the ATR Delta with trend-following indicators allows traders to validate the strength of a trend. Higher ATR Delta values during an uptrend may indicate stronger momentum and a higher likelihood of continuation. Conversely, lower ATR Delta values during a downtrend may suggest a potential consolidation phase or trend reversal.
Limitations :
-- Lagging Indicator : The ATR Delta indicator is based on historical data and calculates the difference between current and previous ATR values. As a result, it may lag behind real-time market conditions. Traders should be aware of this delay and consider it when making trading decisions. It is advisable to combine the ATR Delta with other indicators or price action analysis for a more comprehensive assessment of market conditions.
-- Parameter Sensitivity : The ATR Delta indicator's effectiveness can be influenced by the selection of its parameters, such as the length of the ATR and signal line. Different market conditions may require adjustments to these parameters to better capture volatility changes. Traders should carefully test and optimize the indicator's parameters to align with the characteristics of the specific market or asset they are trading.
-- Market Regime Changes : The ATR Delta indicator assumes that volatility changes occur gradually. However, in rapidly changing market regimes or during news events, volatility can spike or drop abruptly, potentially rendering the indicator less effective. Traders should exercise caution and consider using additional tools or techniques to identify and adapt to such market conditions.
The ATR Delta indicator is a valuable tool for traders seeking to analyze and monitor volatility dynamics in the market. By calculating the difference between current and previous ATR values, it provides insights into changes in price movement and helps identify periods of increased or decreased volatility. Traders can leverage the ATR Delta to fine-tune their strategies, validate trend strength, and identify potential breakout opportunities. However, it is essential to recognize the limitations of the indicator, including its lagging nature and sensitivity to parameter selection. By combining the ATR Delta with other technical analysis tools and applying sound risk management practices, traders can enhance their decision-making process and potentially improve their trading outcomes.
Volume Suite - By Leviathan (CVD, Volume Delta, Relative Volume)Volume Suite is an all-in-one script that includes several volume-based indicators such as CVD, Volume Delta, Relative Volume, Buy/Sell Volume, Cumulative Relative Volume and more. Additionally, it offers fully customisable appearance and features for improved data visualization, such as highlights for high volume activity, small price changes with high volume, or large price changes with low volume and more.
Data available in version 1:
- Volume Delta
Volume Delta is the net difference between Buy Volume and Sell Volume at a given bar. Positive Delta indicates that Buy Volume > Sell Volume, while Negative Delta means that Sell Volume > Buy Volume. As there is not way to get tick data on Tradingview, calculating Volume Delta is improvised by using the direction of lower timeframe candles and their volume.
- Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
CVD is a running total/cumulation of Volume Delta values, where positive VD gets added to the sum and negative VD gets subtracted from the sum. It can be used for trend strength analysis, divergence strategies, sentiment, etc.
- Buy/Sell Volume
Buy and Sell Volume provides an insight into volume activity in a given bar by estimating the buying/selling volume based on the direction of lower timeframe candles and their volume.
- Relative Volume
Relative Volume is used to compare current trading volume to past trading volume over a given period. For instance, a relative volume of 1.0 indicates that volume is at an average level, while a relative volume of 2.0 suggests that the volume is twice as high as the average.
- Cumulative Relative Volume (CRVOL)
CRVOL is a running total/cumulation of Relative Volume values, where RVOL at close>open gets added to the sum and RVOL at close<open gets subtracted from the sum. It can be used for trend strength analysis, divergence strategies, sentiment, etc.
Alerts, aggregated data and more data sets coming in future updates.
Price Delta HeatmapThe Price Delta Heatmap is an indicator designed to visualize the price changes of an asset over time. It helps traders identify and analyze significant price movements and potential volatility. The indicator calculates the price delta, which is the difference between the current close price and the previous close price. It then categorizes the price deltas into different color ranges to create a heatmap-like display on the chart.
The indicator uses user-defined thresholds to determine the color ranges. These thresholds represent the minimum price change required for a specific color to be assigned. The thresholds are adjustable to accommodate different asset classes and trading strategies. Positive price deltas are associated with bullish movements, while negative price deltas represent bearish movements.
The indicator plots bars color-coded according to the price delta range it falls into. The color ranges can be customized to match personal preferences or specific trading strategies. Additionally, the indicator includes signal shapes below the bars to highlight significant positive or negative price deltas. Traders can adjust the threshold values based on their preferred sensitivity to price changes. Higher threshold values may filter out minor price movements and focus on more significant shifts, while lower threshold values will capture even minor fluctuations.
****The default settings have the thresholds set to levels of 100, 50, 20, 10, 0, -10, -20, -50, and -100. These numbers are well-suited for assets such as Ethereum or Bitcoin which are larger in price than an asset that has a price of $1.50, for example. To compensate, adjust the thresholds in the settings to reflect the price delta on the desired asset. All coloration and horizontal line plots will adjust to reflect these changes.****
Traders can interpret the Price Delta Heatmap as follows:
-- Bright green bars indicate the highest positive price deltas, suggesting strong bullish price movements.
-- Green bars represent positive price deltas above the third threshold, indicating significant bullish price changes.
-- Olive bars indicate positive price deltas above the second threshold, suggesting moderate bullish price movements.
-- Yellow bars represent positive price deltas above the lowest threshold, indicating minor bullish price changes. This color is reflected on the negative side as well. Yellow bars below zero indicate negative price deltas below the lowest threshold, suggesting minor bearish price changes.
-- White bars represent zero price deltas, indicating no significant price movement.
-- Orange bars represent negative price deltas below the second threshold, indicating moderate bearish price movements.
-- Red bars indicate negative price deltas below the third threshold, suggesting significant bearish price changes.
-- Maroon bars represent the lowest negative price deltas, indicating strong bearish price movements.
The coloration of the Price Delta line itself is determined by the line's relation to the second positive and second negative thresholds (default +/- 20) - if the line is above the second positive threshold, the line is colored lime (and is reflected in a lime arrow at the bottom of the indicator); if the line is below the second negative threshold, the line is colored fuchsia (also reflected as an arrow); if the line is between thresholds, it is colored aqua.
The Price Delta Heatmap can be used in various trading strategies and applications. Some potential use cases include:
-- Trend identification : The indicator helps traders identify periods of high volatility and potential trend reversals.
-- Volatility analysis : By observing the color changes in the heatmap, traders can gauge the volatility of an asset and adjust their risk management strategies accordingly.
-- Confirmation tool : The indicator can be used as a confirmation tool alongside other technical indicators, such as trend-following indicators or oscillators.
-- Breakout trading : Traders can look for price delta bars of a specific color range to identify potential breakout opportunities.
However, it's important to note that the Price Delta Heatmap has certain limitations. These include:
-- Lagging nature : The indicator relies on historical price data, which means it may not provide real-time insights into price movements.
-- Sensitivity to thresholds : The choice of threshold values affects the indicator's sensitivity and may vary depending on the asset being traded. It requires experimentation and adjustment to find optimal values.
-- Market conditions : The indicator's effectiveness may vary depending on market conditions, such as low liquidity or sudden news events.
Traders should consider using the Price Delta Heatmap in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and incorporate risk management strategies to enhance their trading decisions.
Open Interest Profile [Fixed Range] - By LeviathanThis script generates an aggregated Open Interest profile for any user-selected range and provides several other features and tools, such as OI Delta Profile, Positive Delta Levels, OI Heatmap, Range Levels, OIWAP, POC and much more.
The indicator will help you find levels of interest based on where other market participants are opening and closing their positions. This provides a deeper insight into market activity and serves as a foundation for various different trading strategies (trapped traders, supply and demand, support and resistance, liquidity gaps, imbalances,liquidation levels, etc). Additionally, this indicator can be used in conjunction with other tools such as Volume Profile.
Open Interest (OI) is a key metric in derivatives markets that refers to the total number of unsettled or open contracts. A contract is a mutual agreement between two parties to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price. Each contract consists of a long side and a short side, with one party consenting to buy (long) and the other agreeing to sell (short). The party holding the long position will profit from an increase in the asset's price, while the one holding the short position will profit from the price decline. Every long position opened requires a corresponding short position by another market participant, and vice versa. Although there might be an imbalance in the number of accounts or traders holding long and short contracts, the net value of positions held on each side remains balanced at a 1:1 ratio. For instance, an Open Interest of 100 BTC implies that there are currently 100 BTC worth of longs and 100 BTC worth of shorts open in the market. There might be more traders on one side holding smaller positions, and fewer on the other side with larger positions, but the net value of positions on both sides is equivalent - 100 BTC in longs and 100 BTC in shorts (1:1). Consider a scenario where a trader decides to open a long position for 1 BTC at a price of $30k. For this long order to be executed, a counterparty must take the opposite side of the contract by placing a short order for 1 BTC at the same price of $30k. When both long and short orders are matched and executed, the Open Interest increases by 1 BTC, indicating the introduction of this new contract to the market.
The meaning of fluctuations in Open Interest:
- OI Increase - signifies new positions entering the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Decrease - indicates positions exiting the market (both longs and shorts).
- OI Flat - represents no change in open positions due to low activity or a large number of contract transfers (contracts changing hands instead of being closed).
Typically, we monitor Open Interest in the form of its running value, either on a chart or through OI Delta histograms that depict the net change in OI for each price bar. This indicator enhances Open Interest analysis by illustrating the distribution of changes in OI on the price axis rather than the time axis (akin to Volume Profiles). While Volume Profile displays the volume that occurred at a given price level, the Open Interest Profile offers insight into where traders were opening and closing their positions.
How to use the indicator?
1. Add the script to your chart
2. A prompt will appear, asking you to select the “Start Time” (start of the range) and the “End Time” (end of the range) by clicking anywhere on your chart.
3. Within a few seconds, a profile will be generated. If you wish to alter the selected range, you can drag the "Start Time" and "End Time" markers accordingly.
4. Enjoy the script and feel free to explore all the settings.
To learn more about each input in indicator settings, please read the provided tooltips. These can be accessed by hovering over or clicking on the ( i ) symbol next to the input.
Volume / Open Interest "Footprint" - By LeviathanThis script generates a footprint-style bar (profile) based on the aggregated volume or open interest data within your chart's visible range. You can choose from three different heatmap visualizations: Volume Delta/OI Delta, Total Volume/Total OI, and Buy vs. Sell Volume/OI Increase vs. Decrease.
How to use the indicator:
1. Add it to your chart.
2. The script will use your chart's visible range and generate a footprint bar on the right side of the screen. You can move left/right, zoom in/zoom out, and the bar's data will be updated automatically.
Settings:
- Source: This input lets you choose the data that will be displayed in the footprint bar.
- Resolution: Resolution is the number of rows displayed in a bar. Increasing it will provide more granular data, and vice versa. You might need to decrease the resolution when viewing larger ranges.
- Type: Choose between 3 types of visualization: Total (Total Volume or Total Open Interest increase), UP/DOWN (Buy Volume vs Sell Volume or OI Increase vs OI Decrease), and Delta (Buy Volume - Sell Volume or OI Increase - OI Decrease).
- Positive Delta Levels: This function will draw boxes (levels) where Delta is positive. These levels can serve as significant points of interest, S/R, targets, etc., because they mark the zones where there was an increase in buy pressure/position opening.
- Volume Aggregation: You can aggregate volume data from 8 different sources. Make sure to check if volume data is reported in base or quote currency and turn on the RQC (Reported in Quote Currency) function accordingly.
- Other settings mostly include appearance inputs. Read the tooltips for more info.
