MADALGO's Fear and Greed OscillatorThe Fear and Greed Oscillator is a dynamic tool designed to gauge market sentiment by analyzing various components such as volatility, momentum, and volume. This indicator synthesizes multiple metrics to provide a singular view of market emotion, oscillating between fear and greed.
🔷 Calculation -
The oscillator integrates the following components, each normalized and weighted to contribute equally:
ATR (Average True Range): Represents market volatility.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Captures market momentum.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Provides insights into overbought or oversold conditions.
Volume: Reflects market participation levels.
Each component is first normalized to ensure a balanced impact and then averaged to create the final oscillator value.
🔷 Color Coding -
The oscillator's plot changes color based on its value, representing market sentiment:
Green: Indicates a leaning towards greed.
Red: Suggests a leaning towards fear.
The intensity of the color represents the strength of the sentiment.
🔷 Usage -
This indicator is valuable for traders looking to understand market sentiment. It works best when combined with other forms of analysis, such as fundamental or other technical indicators, to form a comprehensive trading strategy.
🔷 Signal Lines -
Two horizontal lines represent extreme conditions:
A line for Extreme Fear.
Another for Extreme Greed.
These lines help identify when the market sentiment is at potentially unsustainable levels.
🔷 Customization -
The Fear and Greed Oscillator is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing users to adjust several parameters to match their specific analysis requirements. Understanding and utilizing these customization options can significantly enhance the indicator's relevance and effectiveness in various market conditions.
1. Length Parameters:
ATR and RSI Length: This input determines the period over which the Average True Range (ATR) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) are calculated. Adjusting this length can affect the sensitivity of the oscillator to recent market movements. A shorter length makes the oscillator more responsive to recent changes, while a longer length smoothens it, reducing sensitivity to short-term fluctuations.
MACD Parameters: These include the Fast Length, Slow Length, and Signal Smoothing. By adjusting these, users can control how the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) component reacts to price movements. This customization is crucial for aligning the oscillator with different trading strategies, whether short-term or long-term focused.
Volume Length: This parameter sets the period for the moving average and standard deviation calculations of the volume component. Altering this length allows the oscillator to either emphasize recent volume changes or consider a broader historical context.
2. Weight Adjustments:
Component Weights: Each component (ATR, MACD, RSI, Volume) has an associated weight factor. These weights determine the relative influence of each component on the final oscillator value. Users can increase the weight of a component to give it more influence or decrease it to lessen its impact. This feature is particularly beneficial for traders who have a preference or insight into which market aspects are more indicative of fear or greed at given times.
Balancing the Components: The key to effective customization lies in balancing these weights to reflect the user's market perspective and trading style. For instance, a trader focusing on volatility might increase the weight of the ATR, while one interested in momentum might prioritize the MACD and RSI weights.
3. Color and Signal Line Customization:
Color Intensity: The intensity of the color gradient of the oscillator line can be a visual aid in quickly identifying market sentiment. Users can experiment with the colorValue calculation within the script to adjust how rapidly the color changes with the oscillator values
Extreme Levels: The extreme fear and greed levels, represented by horizontal lines, are customizable. Users can set these levels based on historical data analysis or personal risk tolerance. These lines act as alerts for potentially overextended market conditions.
🔷 Limitations -
As with any technical tool, the Fear and Greed Oscillator should not be used in isolation. It does not predict market direction but rather gauges the prevailing market emotion. Its effectiveness may vary across different markets and timeframes.
🔷 Conclusion -
The Fear and Greed Oscillator offers a unique perspective on market sentiment, encapsulating various aspects of market behavior into a single indicator. It serves as a versatile tool for traders aiming to understand the emotional undercurrents of the market.
🔷 Risk Disclaimer -
Financial trading involves significant risk. The value of investments can fluctuate, and past performance is not indicative of future results. This indicator is for informational purposes and should not be construed as financial advice. Always consider your personal circumstances and seek independent advice before making financial decisions.
Volume
Logarithmic CVD [IkkeOmar]The LCVD is another Mean-Reversion Indicator. it doesn't detect trends and does not give a signal per se. However the logarithmic transformation is made to visualize the direction of the trend for the volume. This allows you to see if money is flowing in or out of an asset.
What it does is tell you if we have a flashcrash based on the difference in volume.
Think of this indicator like a form of a volatility index.
Smoothing input:
The only input is an input for the smoothing length of the logDelta.
Volume Calculation:
// @IkkeOmar
//@version=5
indicator('Logarithmic CVD', shorttitle='CVD', overlay=false)
smooth = input.int(defval = 25, title = "Smoothing Distance")
// Calculate buying and selling volume
askVolume = volume * (close > open ? 1 : 0) // Assuming higher close than open indicates buying
bidVolume = volume * (close < open ? 1 : 0) // Assuming lower close than open indicates selling
// Delta is the difference between buying and selling volume
delta = askVolume - bidVolume
// Apply logarithmic transformation to delta
// Adding a check to ensure delta is not zero as log(0) is undefined
logDelta = delta > 0 ? math.log(math.abs(delta)) * math.sign(delta) : - math.log(math.abs(delta)) * math.sign(delta)
// use the the ta lib for calculating the sma of the logDelta
smoothLogDelta = ta.sma(logDelta, smooth)
// Create candlestick plot
plot(logDelta, color= color.green, title='Logarithmic CVD')
plot(smoothLogDelta, color= color.rgb(145, 37, 1), title='Smooth CVD')
These lines calculate the buying and selling volumes. askVolume is calculated as the total volume when the closing price is higher than the opening price, assuming this indicates buying pressure. bidVolume is calculated as the total volume when the closing price is lower than the opening price, assuming selling pressure.
The Delta is simply the difference between buying and selling volumes.
Logarithmic Transformation:
logDelta = delta > 0 ? math.log(math.abs(delta)) * math.sign(delta) : - math.log(math.abs(delta)) * math.sign(delta)
Applies a logarithmic transformation to delta. The math.log function is used to calculate the natural logarithm of the absolute value of delta. The sign of delta is preserved to differentiate between positive and negative values. This transformation helps in scaling the delta values, especially useful when dealing with large numbers.
This script essentially provides a visual representation of the buying and selling pressures in a market, transformed logarithmically for better scaling and smoothed for trend analysis.
Hope it makes sense!
Stay safe everyone!
Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have any!

HTF Volume by Prosum SolutionsOverview of Features
This indicator was inspired by the work of "LonesomeTheBlue" in the script called "Volume Multi Time Frame" . This script will provide a highly customizable interface to specify the higher timeframe period for the volume with the ability to link to the "HTF Candles by Prosum Solutions" indicator using the "HTF Setting Code" data point, as well as adjusting various styling options for the volume bar color fill and border.
Usage Information
The indicator can be applied to any chart at any time frame. When the "Chart" option is chosen for the "Timeframe" field, the indicator will attempt to find a higher timeframe resolution to ensure the volume bars are drawn. The indicator will simply accumulate the volume value for each candlestick bar and reset when the new high timeframe period has started. The color of the volume bars are relative to the higher timeframe setting so that you can visually interpret when the volume in a rising or falling state relative to the higher timeframe price action.
If you choose to add the "HTF Candles by Prosum Solutions" indicator, you can link this indicator to it by choosing the "HTF Candles" option for the "Timeframe Source" field and then choosing the "HTF Setting Code" option for the "HTF Candles" field. At this point, whenever you adjust the high timeframe setting in the "HTF Candles by Prosum Solutions" indicator, this indicator will automatically adjust the timeframe to match it, thereby reducing the steps you need to take to keep the two indicators in sync.
Enjoy! 👍
AlgoDude_Volume1. Timeframe Selection (selectedTimeframe):
Allows the user to choose the timeframe for the volume data analysis.

2.Moving Average Length (maLength):
Users can specify the length of the moving average applied to the inverse volume.
The range for this input is from 1 to 200 periods, with a default value of 14.
These inputs provide flexibility in analyzing volume data over various timeframes and smoothing the inverse volume data with a moving average of chosen length.
Relative Volume Candles [QuantVue]In the words of Dan Zanger, "Trying to trade without using volume is like trying to drive a few hundred miles without putting gas in your tank. Trying to trade without chart patterns is like leaving without having an idea how to get there!"
Volume tends to show up at the beginning and the end of trends. As a general rule, when a stock goes up on low volume, it's seen as negative because it means buyers aren't committed. When a stock goes down on low volume, it means that not many people are trying to sell it, which is positive.
The Relative Volume Candles indicator is based on the Zanger Volume Ratio and designed to help identify key volume patterns effortlessly, with color coded candles and wicks.
The indicator is designed to be used on charts less than 1 Day and calculates the average volume for the user selected lookback period at the given time of day. From there a ratio of the current volume vs the average volume is used to determine the candle’s colors.
The candles wicks are color coded based on whether or not the volume ratio is rising or falling.
So when is it most important to have volume? When prices break out of a consolidation pattern like a bull flag or cup and handle pattern, volume plays a role. When a stock moves out of a range, volume shows how committed buyers are to that move.
Note in order to see this indicator you will need to change the visual order. This is done by selecting the the 3 dots next to the indicator name, scrolling down to visual order and selecting bring to front.
Indicator Features
🔹Selectable candle colors
🔹Selectable ratio levels
🔹Custom lookback period***
***TradingView has a maximum 5,000 bar lookback for most plans. If you are on a lower time frame chart and you select a lookback period larger than 5,000 bars the indicator will not show and you will need to select a shorter lookback period or move to a higher time frame chart.
Give this indicator a BOOST and COMMENT your thoughts!
We hope you enjoy.

Kashif_MFI+RSI+BBMerging Money Flow Index (MFI), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Bollinger Bands in TradingView can offer traders a comprehensive view of market conditions, providing insights into potential price reversals, overbought or oversold conditions, and potential trend changes. Here are some benefits of combining these indicators:
Confirmation of Overbought and Oversold Conditions:
MFI and RSI are both oscillators that measure overbought and oversold conditions. When MFI and RSI readings are high (above their respective overbought levels), and the price is near or above the upper Bollinger Band, it may suggest that the asset is overextended and a reversal could be imminent. Conversely, when MFI and RSI readings are low (below their respective oversold levels) and the price is near or below the lower Bollinger Band, it may indicate potential buying opportunities.
Divergence Analysis:
Traders often look for divergences between price action and MFI/RSI. If the price is making new highs, but MFI/RSI is not confirming these highs (bearish divergence), it could signal weakening momentum and a possible reversal. Combining this analysis with Bollinger Bands can add another layer of confirmation, especially if the price is touching or exceeding the upper Bollinger Band during this divergence.
Volatility Confirmation:
Bollinger Bands provide a measure of volatility by expanding and contracting based on price volatility. If the bands are widening, it indicates increased volatility. Combining this information with MFI and RSI readings can help traders assess the strength of a trend. For example, during a strong uptrend, if MFI and RSI are high and Bollinger Bands are expanding, it may suggest a sustained bullish trend.
Identifying Trend Reversals:
The combination of MFI, RSI, and Bollinger Bands can be useful in identifying potential trend reversals. For instance, if MFI and RSI are in overbought conditions and the price is significantly above the upper Bollinger Band, it may signal that the trend is reaching an extreme and could reverse. Conversely, if MFI and RSI are in oversold conditions and the price is near or below the lower Bollinger Band, it may suggest that selling pressure is exhausted, and a reversal might be in play.
Comprehensive Market Assessment:
By merging these indicators, traders get a more comprehensive view of market conditions. They can assess both momentum (MFI and RSI) and volatility (Bollinger Bands) simultaneously, helping them make more informed trading decisions.
It's important to note that no single indicator or combination of indicators guarantees accurate predictions in trading. Traders should use these tools as part of a broader analysis and consider other factors such as fundamental analysis, market trends, and risk management.

Re-Anchoring VWAP TripleThe Triple Re-Anchoring VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) indicator is a tool designed for traders seeking a deeper understanding of market trends and key price levels. This indicator dynamically recalibrates VWAP calculations based on significant market pivot points, offering a unique perspective on potential support and resistance levels.
Key Features:
Dynamic Re-anchoring at All-Time Highs (ATH) : The first layer of this indicator continuously tracks the all-time high and recalibrates the VWAP from each new ATH. This VWAP line, typically acting as a dynamic resistance level, offers insights into the overbought conditions and potential reversal zones.
Adaptive Re-anchoring to Post-ATH Lows : The second component of the indicator shifts focus to the market's reaction post-ATH. It identifies the lowest low following an ATH and re-anchors the VWAP calculation from this point. This VWAP line often serves as a dynamic support level, highlighting key areas where the market finds value after a significant high.
Re-anchoring to Highs After Post-ATH Lows : The third element of this tool takes adaptation one step further by tracking the highest high achieved after the lowest low post-ATH. This VWAP line can act as either support or resistance, providing a nuanced view of the market's valuation in the recovery phase or during consolidation after a significant low.
Applications:
Trend Confirmation and Reversal Signals : By comparing the price action relative to the dynamically anchored VWAP lines, traders can gauge the strength of the trend and anticipate potential reversals.
Entry and Exit Points : By highlighting significant support and resistance areas, it assists in determining optimal entry and exit points, particularly in swing trading and mean reversion strategies.
Enhanced Market Insight : The dynamic nature of the indicator, with its shifting anchor points, offers a refined understanding of market sentiment and valuation changes over time.
Why Triple Re-Anchoring VWAP?
Traditional VWAP tools offer a linear view, often missing out on the intricacies of market fluctuations. The Triple Re-Anchoring VWAP addresses this by providing a multi-faceted view of the market, adapting not just to daily price changes but pivoting around significant market events. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or long-term investor, this indicator adds depth to your market analysis, enabling more informed trading decisions.
Examples:
OneThingToRuleThemAll [v1.4]This script was created because I wanted to be able to display a contextual chart of commonly used indicators for scalping and swing traders, with the ability to control the visual representation on the charts as their cross-overs, cross-unders, or changes of state happen in real time. Additionally, I wanted the ability to control how or when they are displayed. While looking through other community projects, I found they lacked the ability to full customize the output controls and values used for these indicators.
The script leverages standard RSI/MACD/VWAP/MVWAP/EMA calculations to help a trader visually make more informed decisions on entering or exiting a trade, depending on their understanding on what the indicators represent. Paired with a table directly on the chart, it allows a trader to quickly reference values to make more informed decisions without having to look away from the price action or look through multiple indicator outputs.
The main functionality of the indicator is controlled within the settings directly on the chart. There a user can enable the visual representations, or disable, and configure how they are displayed on the charts by altering their values or style types.
Users have the ability to enable/disable visual representations of:
The indicator chart
RSI Cross-over and RSI Reversals
MACD Uptrends and Downtrends
VWAP Cross-overs and Cross-unders
VWAP Line
MVWAP Cross-overs and Cross-unders
MVWAP Line
EMA Cross-overs and Cross-unders
EMA Line
Some traders like to use these visual indications as thresholds to enter or exit trades. Its best to find out which ones work the best with the security you are trying to trade. Personally, I use the table as a reference in conjunction with the RSI chart indicators to help me decide a logical trailing stop if I am scalping. Some users might like the track EMA200 crossovers, and have visual representations on the chart for when that happens. However, users may use the other indicators in other methods, and this script provides the ability to be able to configure those both visually and by value.
The pine script code is open source and itself is fairly straightforward, it is mostly written to provide the ultimate level of control the the user of the various indicators. Please reach out to me directly if you would like a further understanding of the code and an explanation on anything that may be unclear.
Enjoy :)

Trend Strength Over TimeThe script serves as an indicator designed to assess and visualize trend strength and Volume strength over time. It employs a variety of calculations and conditions to offer insights into both bullish and bearish market trends. Let's explore the key conceptual elements of the code.
Trend Strength Conditions:
The script defines conditions to assess trend strength based on a comparison between each calculated percentile value and the highest high (bullish) or lowest low (bearish). Separate conditions are established for each percentile length, allowing for a nuanced understanding of trend dynamics across different timeframes.
Counting Bull and Bear Trends:
To quantify the strength of bullish and bearish trends, the script maintains counts for the number of conditions that are true for each. This count-based approach provides a quantitative measure of trend strength.
Weak Bull and Bear Counts:
Recognizing that trends are not always clear-cut, the script introduces the concept of weak trends. It counts instances where the percentiles fall between the highest high and lowest low, indicating a potential weakening of the prevailing trend.
Bull and Bear Strength:
Bull and bear strengths are calculated based on the counts, with adjustments made for weak trends. This step provides a more nuanced and comprehensive assessment of trend strength by considering both strong and weak signals.
Current Trend Value:
The culmination of these calculations is the determination of the current trend value. This value represents the balance between bullish and bearish forces, offering a dynamic indicator of the market's prevailing sentiment.
Volume Strength Calculation:
In addition to price-based indicators, the script incorporates volume strength as a crucial element. This is calculated using the simple moving averages (SMAs) of volume over different lengths, normalized relative to the SMA over a length of 144. Volume strength adds a layer of confirmation or divergence to the price-based trend analysis.
Color Change:
To facilitate quick and intuitive interpretation, the script dynamically changes the color of the plotted line on the chart based on the current trend value. Green indicates a bullish trend, red indicates a bearish trend, and blue suggests a neutral or indecisive market.
Plotting:
The script uses the plot function to visually present the calculated trend strength and volume strength on the chart. This visual representation aids traders in making informed decisions based on the identified trends and their strengths.
Volume Strength: A Detailed Explanation
In the context of the provided script, volume strength is a critical component used to assess the strength of a market trend. It provides insights into the level of participation and commitment of market participants, offering a complementary perspective to traditional price-based indicators. Let's delve into the concept and practical applications of volume strength.
Calculation of Volume Strength:
The script calculates volume strength by considering the simple moving averages (SMAs) of volume over different time periods (13, 21, 34, 55, 89). These individual SMAs are then normalized relative to the SMA over a more extended period of 144. The weights assigned to each SMA in the calculation are defined in the variable VCF (Volume Correction Factor).
Calculation of Volume Strength with Weights: The weights assigned to each SMA in this calculation are crucial for emphasizing the significance of shorter-term volume movements relative to a longer-term baseline.
Interpretation of Weights:
The choice of weights reflects the relative importance of shorter-term volume movements compared to longer-term trends. In this script, shorter-term SMAs (13, 21, 34, 55, 89) are assigned decreasing weights, while the longer-term SMA (144) serves as the baseline.
Shorter-term SMAs with higher weights may have a more immediate impact on the volume strength calculation. This implies that recent changes in volume carry more weight in assessing the current market conditions.
The decreasing weights for shorter-term SMAs might indicate that, as the timeframe lengthens, the significance of recent volume movements diminishes in relation to the longer-term trend. This approach allows for a focus on both short-term volatility and longer-term stability in volume patterns.
The purpose of normalization is to emphasize the current volume's significance in comparison to its historical context. This can help identify abnormal volume spikes or sustained increases in trading activity, which may indicate the strength or weakness of a trend.
Interpretation and Practical Use:
Confirmation of Trend:
Rising volume during an uptrend can validate the strength of the upward movement, suggesting that a significant number of market participants are actively buying. Conversely, decreasing volume during an uptrend might indicate weakening interest and a potential reversal.
In a downtrend, increasing volume on downward price movements reinforces the strength of the trend. A decrease in volume during a downtrend may suggest a potential weakening or exhaustion of the downward momentum.
Divergence Analysis:
Divergence occurs when there is a disagreement between the price movement and the corresponding volume. For example, if prices are rising but volume is declining, it could signal a lack of conviction in the upward movement, and a reversal might be imminent.
Conversely, if prices are falling, but volume is decreasing as well, it might suggest that the downward momentum is losing steam, and a potential reversal or consolidation could be on the horizon.
In conclusion, volume strength analysis provides traders with a powerful tool to gauge the conviction behind price movements. By incorporating volume data into the technical analysis, one can make more informed decisions, enhance trend identification, and improve risk management strategies.
Accumulation/Distribution Money Flow v1.0This indicator is intended to measure selling and buying pressure, calculates accumulation/distribution levels and suggests current trend intensity and direction.
Core calculations are based on open source script by cI8DH which was not updated ever since 2018. Also, it implements the technique to avoid price gaps issues as described in Twiggs® Money Flow .
The indicator can plot calculated A/D line, a smoothed A/D line and another smoother derivative from the smoothed line which serves as a signal line. By implementing crossovers detection between two lines and also measuring distance between them it plots the histogram of the difference and can also color chart bars accordingly.
You can also use settings to factor in price and/or volume into calculations.
Three options for visual color representation are available.
1) Simple color bars
In this case bars are colored in red and green by default, whereas green indicates positive distance between smoothed A/D line and signal line (upward movement), and red indicated negative distance (downward movement).
2) 4-color scheme
In this case pale green and pale red colors are added, whereas pale red used when the histogram is positive and A/D + signal lines are below zero lines (start of upward movement from lower levels), and pale green is where histogram is negative and both A/D and signal lines are above zero line (start of downward movement from top levels). Bright red and green colors indicate strong movement where the position of A/D + signal lines correspond to positive and.or negative histogram values. This option allows to visually track trend intensity more precisely.
3) Gradient bars color
In this scheme the candles are colored using gradient of either red or green color depending on the intensity and direction of the trend. For that color scheme you must specify the lookback parameter indicating number of bars back to determine highest/lowest values.
Pocket Pivot BreakoutPocket Pivot Breakout Indicator
The pocket pivot breakout indicator will show a blue arrow under the candle if both the following conditions are met:
1. The percentage change of the candle on that day from open is greater than 3%.
2. The volume on the day of 3% candle is higher than the highest red volume in the past 10 days.
The second condition is based on the 'Pocket Pivot' concept developed by Gil Morales and Chris Kacher.
If only one of the conditions is met, while the other is not, there will be no arrow.
How to use the Pocket Pivot Breakout indicator?
1. If the stock is breaking out of a proper base like (cup & handle, Darvas box etc.), you can use the blue arrow as an indicator to make your initial buy.
2. If you already own a stock, the blue arrow indicator can be used for pyramiding, following a continuation breakout from a proper base.
3. Avoid making a new entry or continuation entry if the stock is too extended from 10ma.
Gap-up > 0.5% Indicator
Gap-up Indicator displays a blue colored candle when a stock gaps up by more than 0.5% compared to previous day's close.
It is turned off by default. To activate it, check the box next to Gap-up > 0.5% in the indicator options.
How to use the Gap-up Indicator?
1. When a stock gaps up, it usually indicates strength, especially if on the day of the gap-up, the stock closes strongly.
2. This indicator should not be used in isolation but with a proper base breakout from a tight consolidation.
3. If a stock is already extended from 10ma, avoid taking any new or continuation entries.
Precautions
1. Avoid buying longs when the general market conditions are not favorable.
2. Avoid buying stocks below 200ma.
3. Avoid making a new entry or pyramid entry if a stock is too extended from 10ma.
Important Points
1. Always choose fundamentally strong stocks showing strong growth in earnings/margins/sales.
2. Buy these fundamentally strong stocks when they are breaking out of proper bases.
3. To learn more about pocket pivots and buyable gap-ups, read the book, Trade Like an O'Neil Disciple (by Gil Morales & Chris Kacher).

WHALE SIGNAL 4H
WHALE SIGNAL 4H BASED ON VOLUME CHANGE AND MOVING AVERAGE
This script aims to highlight potential whale signals on the 4-hour timeframe by analyzing volume changes, and it provides options for customization through input parameters. Whale signals are then displayed on the chart with different colors for the last hit and the previous hits. The Detector parameter adds flexibility to consider neighboring bars in the detection process, Let's break down the key components:
1/The script defines input parameters that users can customize:
-VCH (Volume Change on 4H candle) with a default value of 3, 3 times the MA Value.
-Length_240 (Moving Average length for the last 21 bars on the 4-hour timeframe).
-Detector (a boolean parameter to enable or disable whale detection in the previous or next bar).
2/Logic Section:
The script defines a function bar(hit) to convert the bar index based on the timeframe.
It calculates the Volume Change (whale signal) by comparing the current volume with a threshold (VCH * vma).
The Detector parameter allows for flexibility in detecting whale signals in neighboring bars.
3/ Plotting Section:
The script defines a function is_whale() to check if there is a whale signal and if it occurred in the last three bars.
It uses the plot function to display whale signals on the chart with different colors and offsets.
Volume Spread Analysis [Ahmed]Greetings everyone,
I'm thrilled to present a Pine Script I've crafted for Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) Indicator. This tool is aimed at empowering you to make smarter trading choices by scrutinizing the volume spread across a specified interval.
The script delivers a comparative volume analysis, permitting you to fix the type and length of the moving average. It subsequently delineates the moving average (MA), MA augmented by 1 standard deviation (SD), and MA increased by 2 SD. You can fully personalize the color coding for these echelons.
Volume Spread Analysis is an analytical technique that scrutinizes candles and the volume per candle to predict price direction. It considers the volume per candle, the spread range, and the closing price.
To effectively leverage VSA, you need to adhere to a few steps:
1. Ensure you use candlesticks for trading. Other chart types like line, bar, and renko charts may not yield optimal results.
2. Confirm that your broker provides reliable volume data.
3. Be mindful of the chart's timeframe. Volume analysis may not be effective on very short timeframes such as a minute chart. I recommend using daily, weekly, or monthly charts.
Another tip is to examine the spread between the price bars and the volume bars to discern the trend.
The script not only makes it easier to integrate these principles into your trading but also brings precision and convenience to your analysis.
Please remember to adhere to Tradinview terms of service when using the script. Happy trading!
Volume Profile PlusThis indicator provides a high-resolution and high-precision implementation of Volume Profile with flexible range settings. Its key features include:
1. Support for a high resolution of up to 2,500 rows.
2. Capability to examine lower timeframe bars (default 5,000 intra-bars) for enhanced precision.
3. Three range modes — "Visible Range", "Anchored Range", and "All Range".
4. Highlighting of Point of Control and Value Area.
5. Extensive customization options allowing users to configure dimensions, on-chart placements, and color schemes.
🔵 Settings
The settings screen, along with the explanations for each setting, is provided below:
🔵 High Resolution using Polyline
Inspired by @fikira, this indicator utilizes the newly introduced `polyline` type in PineScript to plot the volume profile. It employs a single polyline instance to represent the entire histogram. With each polyline instance supporting up to 10,000 points and each histogram row requiring 4 points, this indicator can accommodate 2500 rows, resulting in a significantly higher resolution compared to conventional volume profile indicators that use `line`s or `box`es to draw the histogram.
🔵 High Precision Data-binning using Lower Timeframe Data
Conventional volume profile indicators often face one or both of the following limitations:
1. They only consider volume within the chart's current timeframe.
2. They assign each bar's total volume to a single price bucket based on the bar's average price, rather than distributing volume across multiple price buckets.
As a result, when the number of bars in the chart is low, those indicators may provide imprecise results, making it difficult to accurately identify significant volume nodes and the point of control.
To address these limitations and enhance accuracy, this indicator examines data from lower timeframes and distributes the volume to fine-grained price buckets. It intelligently selects an appropriate lower timeframe to ensure precise output while complying with a maximum specified number of bars to maintain good performance.
🔵 Three Range Modes
This indicator offers users the flexibility to choose from three range modes:
1. Visible Range (Default Mode): In this mode, the volume profile calculation begins at the time of the left-most bar displayed in the current viewport. As the user scrolls through the viewport, the volume profile updates automatically.
2. Anchored Range: This mode allows the user to set the start time either by using the datetime input boxes or by dragging the anchor line on the chart.
3. All Range: In this mode, the volume profile calculation is based on all the historical bars available in the chart.
Double Simple Moving AverageThe Double Simple moving average is an indicator developed to help traders identify dynamic levels of support and resistance as well as determine current trend direction.
This indicator shows both an SMA calculated on highs and one calculated on lows. In addition to that, it plots the deviation bands based on the space between the two main lines.
The gradient color between the two main lines can be used to determine the volumetric pressure and confirmation of the current trend.
Liquidity Price Depth Chart [LuxAlgo]The Liquidity Price Depth Chart is a unique indicator inspired by the visual representation of order book depth charts, highlighting sorted prices from bullish and bearish candles located on the chart's visible range, as well as their degree of liquidity.
Note that changing the chart's visible range will recalculate the indicator.
🔶 USAGE
The indicator can be used to visualize sorted bullish/bearish prices (in descending order), with bullish prices being highlighted on the left side of the chart, and bearish prices on the right. Prices are highlighted by dots, and connected by a line.
The displacement of a line relative to the x-axis is an indicator of liquidity, with a higher displacement highlighting prices with more volume.
These can also be easily identified by only keeping the dots, visible voids can be indicative of a price associated with significant volume or of a large price movement if the displacement is more visible for the price axis. These areas could play a key role in future trends.
Additionally, the location of the bullish/bearish prices with the highest volume is highlighted with dotted lines, with the returned horizontal lines being useful as potential support/resistances.
🔹 Liquidity Clusters
Clusters of liquidity can be spotted when the Liquidity Price Depth Chart exhibits more rectangular shapes rather than "V" shapes.
The steepest segments of the shape represent periods of non-stationarity/high volatility, while zones with clustered prices highlight zones of potential liquidity clusters, that is zones where traders accumulate positions.
🔹 Liquidity Sentiment
At the bottom of each area, a percentage can be visible. This percentage aims to indicate if the traded volume is more often associated with bullish or bearish price variations.
In the chart above we can see that bullish price variations make 63.89% of the total volume in the range visible range.
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Bullish Elements
Bullish Price Highest Volume Location: Shows the location of the bullish price variation with the highest associated volume using one horizontal and one vertical line.
Bullish Volume %: Displays the bullish volume percentage at the bottom of the depth chart.
🔹 Bearish Elements
Bearish Price Highest Volume Location: Shows the location of the bearish price variation with the highest associated volume using one horizontal and one vertical line.
Bearish Volume %: Displays the bearish volume percentage at the bottom of the depth chart.
🔹 Misc
Volume % Box Padding: Width of the volume % boxes at the bottom of the Liquidity Price Depth Chart as a percentage of the chart visible range
Oscillator Volume Profile [Trendoscope®]The Oscillator Volume Profile indicator is designed to construct a volume profile based on predefined oscillator levels. It integrates volume data with oscillator readings to offer a unique perspective on market dynamics.
🎲 Selectable Oscillators:
Users can select from an array of oscillator options for the basis of the volume profile, including:
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO)
Center of Gravity (COG)
Money Flow Index (MFI)
Rate of Change (ROC)
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
Stochastic Oscillator (Stoch)
True Strength Index (TSI)
Williams %R (WPR)
The length parameters - Length, Fast Length, Slow Length allows users to define the period over which the chosen oscillator is calculated, tailoring the sensitivity of the indicator to their trading strategy.
🎲 Dynamic Overbought/Oversold Ranges:
This indicator enhances traditional concepts by introducing dynamic overbought and oversold levels. These adaptable thresholds are calculated using various methods, including:
🎯 Highest/Lowest Range Method : This method establishes the range based on the highest and lowest values of the oscillator within the last N bars.
🎯 Moving Average Range Method : The range is derived from a moving average of the oscillator, providing a smoothed threshold that reflects more recent market conditions.
In addition to these methods, the indicator incorporates a unique 'Sticky Border' feature:
🎯 Sticky Border: With this option enabled, the dynamic ranges maintain their levels until the oscillator breaks out of the range. Once a breakout occurs, the levels are recalculated and updated. This mechanism ensures that the borders remain consistent and relevant, only adjusting to significant market movements that warrant a recalculation.
Users can select their preferred method for determining dynamic ranges, allowing for a customized approach that aligns with their analysis and trading strategy. The sticky border feature further refines this functionality, offering continuity until a decisive market move occurs.
🎲 Volume Profile Calculation Parameters:
🎯 Trend Filter: The indicator provides a versatile trend filter with four selectable options:
Uptrend: The volume profile is calculated when the oscillator indicates an uptrend.
Downtrend: The volume profile is calculated when the oscillator indicates a downtrend.
Any: The volume profile is calculated regardless of the trend.
External: Users can input values from an external indicator. The volume profile is then calculated only when the external indicator's value is non-zero, integrating external analysis into the volume profile construction.
🎯 Precision: Users have the option to define the precision for calculating the volume profile, which is crucial due to the varying scales of different oscillators (e.g., some oscillators range from 0 to 100, while others from -1 to 1). Selecting an appropriate precision ensures that the volume profile is accurately aligned with the minimal price range significant to the chosen oscillator. This setting requires user intervention for optimal configuration, as automatic calculation is not feasible due to the diverse nature of oscillator ranges.
🎯 Number of Bars: Users can select a specific number of bars for volume profile calculation, or opt to include all available historical bars for a comprehensive profile.
🎲 Selecting the right precision:
Users must select the right precision based on their choice of indicator. For example, RSI values range from 0-100. Hence, the default precision of 1 work fine on RSI as the volume profiles are plotted from 0 to 100 at the interval of 0.1
But, the default precision of 1 will not be ok on TSI because TSI values range from -1 to 1. Hence, using 1 as precision will result in very less volume profile lines as shown below.
Due to this, it is necessary to increase the precision for oscillators such as TSI where the range between highest and lowest value is far less. Once we set the precision to 2, we can see more appropriate volume profile division.
🎲 Note of thanks:
This publication uses polyline feature for drawing volume profiles. The advantage of using polyline is that we can overcome max 500 lines issue that we face by using the regular line objects. More details of polyline can be found in the tradingview blog post
Further, using polyline for display of volume profiles is inspired by the publications of fikira and KioseffTrading

Volume SentimentIn 1994 Tushar Chande and Stanley Kroll published a epic book of modern trading indicators called "The New Technical Trader". I highly recommend it. Two indicators that stood out was the Market Thrust and Thrust Oscillator. They suggested these as alternatives to the Arms Index. Rather than using the Advancing Stocks and their associated volume, I applied their logic to individual bars.
Bar Sentiment can be defined and the difference between the low and the close relative to the bar width. Smaller values are bearish and larger one are bullish. A bullish candle would close above its mid-point. Conversely, a close below the candle mid-point is considered bearish.
With that, this script sums the bullish or bearish (as defined above) volume over a user defined number of bars. It gives a unique indication of the volume compared to typical volume indicators. It also gives the user the option to set a "High Volume" alert when the total volume is greater than the moving average. This is helpful for identify increasing activity in your security.
Enjoy and happy trading!
