Weis V5 zigzag jayySomehow, I deleted version 5 of the zigzag script. Same name. I have added some older notes describing how the Weis Wave works.
I have also changed the date restriction that stopped the script from working after Dec 31, 2022.
What you see here is the Weis zigzag wave plotted directly on the price chart. This script is the companion to the Weis cumulative wave volume script.
What is a Weis wave? David Weis has been recognized as a Wyckoff method analyst he has written two books one of which, Trades About to Happen, describes the evolution of the now-popular Weis wave. The method employed by Weis is to identify waves of price action and to compare the strength of the waves on characteristics of wave strength. Chief among the characteristics of strength is the cumulative volume of the wave. There are other markers that Weis uses as well for example how the actual price difference between the start of the Weis wave from start to finish. Weis also uses time, particularly when using a Renko chart
David Weis did a futures io video which is a popular source of information about his method. (Search David Weis and futures.io. I strongly suggest you also read “Trades About to Happen” by David Weis.
This will get you up and running more quickly when studying charts. However, you should choose the Traditional method to be true to David Weis technique as described in his book "Trades About to Happen" and in the Futures IO Webcast featuring David Weis
. The Weis pip zigzag wave shows how far in terms of bar close price a Weis wave has traveled through the duration of a Weis wave. The Weis zigzag wave is used in combination with the Weis cumulative volume wave. The two waves should be set to the same "wave size".
To use this script, you must set the wave size: Using the traditional Weis method simply enter the desired wave size in the box "How should wave size be calculated", in this example I am using a traditional wave size of .25. Each wave for each security and each timeframe requires its own wave size. Although not the traditional method devised by David Weis a more automatic way to set wave size would be to use Average True Range (ATR). Using ATR is not the true Weis method but it does give you similar waves and, importantly, without the hassle described above. Once the Weis wave size is set then the zigzag wave will be shown with volume. Because Weis used the closing price of a wave to define waves a line Bar highs and bar lows are not captured by the Weis Wave. The default script setting is now cumulative volume waves using an ATR of 7 and a multiplication factor of .5.
To display volume in a way that does not crowd out neighbouring volumes Weis displayed volume as a maximum of 3 digits (usually). Consider two Weis Wave volumes 176,895,570 and 2,654,763,889. To display wave volume as three digits it is necessary to take a number such as 176,895,570 and truncate it. 176,895,570 can be represented as 177 X 10 to the power of 6. The number displayed must also be relative to other numbers in the field. If the highest volume on the page is: 2,654,763,889 and with only three numbers available to display the result the value shown must be 265 (265 X 10 to the power of 7). Since 176,895,570 is an order of magnitude smaller than 2,654,763,889 therefore 175,895,570 must be shown as 18 instead of 177. In this way, the relative magnitudes of the two volumes can be understood. All numbers in the field of view must be truncated by the same order of magnitude to make the relative volumes understandable. The script attempts to calculate the order of magnitude value automatically. If you see a red number in the field of view it means the script has failed to do the calculation automatically and you should use the manual method – use the dialogue box “Calculate truncated wave value automatically or manually”. Scroll down from the automatic method and select manual. Once "manual" is selected the values displayed become the power values or multipliers for each wave.
Using the manual method you will select a “Multiplier” in the next dialogue box. Scan the field and select the largest value in the field of view (visible chart) is the multiplier of interest. If you select a lower number than the maximum value will see at least one red “up”. If you are too high you will see at least one red “down”. Scroll in the direction recommended or the values on the screen will be totally incorrect. With volume truncated to the highest order values, the eye can quickly get a feel for relative volumes. It also reduces the crowding and overlapping of values on the screen. You can opt to show the full volume to help get a sense of the magnitude of the true volumes.
How does the script determine if a Weis wave is continuing to grow or not?
The script evaluates the closing price of each new bar relative to the "Weis wave size". Suppose the current bar closes at a new low close, within the current down wave, at $30.00. If the Weis wave size is $0.10 then the algorithm will remember the $30.00 close and compare it to the close of the next bar. If the bar close price does not close equal to or lower than $30.00 or close equal to or higher than $30.10 then the wave is still a down wave with a current low of $30.00. This is true even if the bar low is less than $30.00 or the bar high is greater than 30.10 – only the bar’s closing price matters. If a bar's closing price climbs back up to a close of $30.11 then because the closing price has moved more than $0.10 (the Weis wave size) then that is a wave reversal with a new up-trending wave. In the above example if there was currently a downward trending wave and the bar closes were as follows $30.00, $30.09, $30.01, $30.05, $30.10 The wave direction would continue to stay downward trending until the close of $30.10 was achieved. As such $30.00 would be the low and the following closes $30.09, $30.01, $30.05 would be allocated to the new upward-trending wave. If however There was a series of bar closes like this $30.00, $30.09, $30.01, $30.05, $29.99 since none of the closes was equal to above the 10-cent reversal target of $30.10 but instead, a new Weis wave low was achieved ($29.99). As such the closes of $30.09, $30.01, $30.05 would all be attributed to the continued down-trending wave with a current low of $29.99, even though the closing price for the interim bars was above $30.00. Now that the Weis Wave low is now 429.99 then, in order to reverse this continued downtrend price will need to close at or above $30.09 on subsequent bar closes assuming now new low bar close is achieved. With large wave sizes, wave direction can be in limbo for many bars before a close either renews wave direction or reverses it and confirms wave direction as either a reversal or a continuation. On the zig-zag, a wave line and its volume will not be "printed" until a wave reversal is confirmed.
The wave attribution is similar when using other methods to define wave size. If ATR is used for wave size instead of a traditional wave constant size such as $0.10 or $2 or 2000 pips or ... then the wave size is calculated based on current ATR instead of the Weis wave constant (Traditional selected value).
I have the option to display pseudo-Ord volume. In truth, Ord used more traditional zig-zag pivots of bar highs and lows. Waves using closes as pivots can have some significant differences. This difference can be lessened by using smaller time frames and larger wave sizes.
There are other options such to display the delta price or pip size of a Weis Wave, the number of bars in a wave, and a few other options.

Stock Data Table█ OVERVIEW
This is a table that shows some information about stocks. It is divided into four sections:
1) Correlation
2) Shares
3) Daily Data
4) Extended Session Data
The table is completely modular, which means you can add or remove each element from the settings menu, and it will automatically rearrange its spaces.
It is also highly customizable, to the extent that you can change almost any color, remove or change titles, invert section rows, and much more.
1) Correlation
The script checks if the stock is listed on NASDAQ, and if so, uses the QQQ (Nasdaq-100 ETF) as the reference index in the first cell; otherwise, it uses the SPY (S&P 500 ETF). The length of the correlation is shown in the second cell. The table then displays the correlation between the reference index and the other index, and the correlation between the reference index and the stock.
To make it easier to interpret the correlation values, each row's last cell is color-coded with a gradient to highlight the type of correlation, and the direction of the gradient can be customized.
The correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that quantifies the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables, indicating how changes in one variable are associated with changes in the other variable, so it can be used to identify patterns and trends.
If you are interested in correlation, I suggest taking a look at my dedicated indicator:
2) Shares
This feature provides you with quick access to key information about shares and market capitalization.
On one row, you can view the total shares outstanding and the market capitalization for the fiscal year or the quarterly year. The total shares outstanding represents the total number of shares of the stock that have been issued and are currently outstanding, regardless of whether they are held by insiders or public investors. The market capitalization is a widely used measure of the company's value as determined by the stock market, calculated by multiplying its current stock price with the total number of outstanding shares.
The other row shows the float, which is the number of shares of a company that are available for public trading, and the corresponding free-float market cap, calculated by multiplying the company's current stock price with the float. Because Pine Script does not allow retrieving information about quarterly year float, you can view the float and the free-float market cap of the fiscal year only. The data can be displayed at all times or only when the difference between the total shares outstanding and the float is significant enough to result in a difference between the market cap and free-float market cap.
The classification for market cap and free-float market cap is set in this way:
Mega Cap: $200 billion or more
Large Cap: between $10 billion and $200 billion
Mid Cap: between $2 billion and $10 billion
Small Cap: between $300 million and $2 billion
Micro Cap: less than $300 million
Penny Stocks: less than $5 (customizable)
Comparing the free-float market cap to the market cap can provide insights into the liquidity of a stock. In fact, if the float is relatively small compared to the total shares outstanding, it may be more difficult to find buyers or sellers, which could lead to increased volatility. On the other hand, a larger float indicates that the stock is more liquid and may be easier to trade, potentially resulting in lower volatility. However, market conditions can change quickly and significantly, especially for intraday traders, and the free-float can also change as insiders or other large shareholders buy or sell shares. Therefore, comparing the data of the fiscal year with that of the quarterly year may not provide the most up-to-date and accurate information for making trading decisions. This limitation can be mitigated by combining those data with other indicators and tools, such as technical analysis or news events, to gain a better understand of the stock's performance and potential trading opportunities.
3) Daily Data
This section is available on daily charts only due to the lack of accuracy of real-time daily data on other time frames. Here, you can view the Average Daily Volume (ADV) over a preferred time range (20 days by default), and the Daily Change, which represents the percentage difference between the closing price on two consecutive trading days.
ADV is useful in measuring the stock's volatility, as it provides an indication of how much trading activity there is in it. Generally speaking, stocks with higher trading volume tend to be less volatile than stocks with lower trading volume. High trading volume means there are more buyers and sellers actively trading the stock, which makes it easier for investors to buy and sell shares at fair prices. This increased liquidity can help to stabilize the stock price, reducing the potential for large swings in either direction. On the other hand, stocks with lower trading volume may experience greater volatility, as there are fewer buyers and sellers actively trading the stock. This can result in larger price swings, as it may be more difficult for investors to buy or sell shares at fair prices.
The daily percentage change can provide an indication of the stock's volatility, with larger values indicating greater volatility and risk. It can also be compared to that of a benchmark such an index or other stocks in the same sector, helping to determine whether the stock is outperforming or underperforming relative to them.
4) Extended Session Data
The fourth section is available on intraday charts only. This section provides two pieces of information: the Extended Session Change and the Pre-Market Volume.
The Extended Session Change indicates the percentage difference between the previous day's closing price and the latest price in the extended session. This gives you the extent and the direction of the price gap that occurred during extended trading hours.
The Pre-Market Volume shows the sum of all shares traded during the pre-market session. This can be helpful in understanding how much interest the stock gained before the market opened.
By default, the two rows will be visible at all times. They will stop updating after the end of their respective time range, and resume updating when it starts again. However, you can choose to automatically hide them outside of their time ranges.
Both the extended session and pre-market time ranges can be customized. Please note that if you select time ranges outside of the regular market session (as set by default), you must enable the extended session to view the corresponding rows.
█ GENERAL NOTES
• Total Shares Outstanding, Float, Average Daily Volume and Pre-Market Volume cells use a customizable color system based on two thresholds, to help you quickly identify whether the value is "too low/acceptable/too high" or "too low/not enough high/acceptable".
• If you cannot see certain data, that simply means it is not available.
Volume and vPOC InsightsThe vPOC or volume point of control shows where most of the volume was traded. This is important because this is where the institutions and market makers have opened their positions, and these are the ones that move the markets!
This indicator is designed to cut through the volume noise, and enable the hiding of lower volume data.
The main setting allows you to define a lookback, and obscure the candles whose volume is less than x % of the highest volume in this lookback.
Of the remaining candles, their vPOC will be displayed. There are extra settings to extend naked vPOCs, as well as the highs and lows of these high volume candles, plus an EMA based on the vPOC price levels.
I must credit quantifytools @quantifytools who allowed me to utilize his code, for finding vPOCs using lower timeframe candles - there are comments in the code also. It works perfectly so why reinvent the wheel?
Volume Spread Analysis IchimokuThis version of the popular Ichimoku indicator is modified to let the user choose between his classic mode and the volume-weighted mode.
Every line of the indicator is customizable with this function.
The Kijun and Tenkan lines are choosable from:
1. The normal version, so the average of the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume mode, so the average price of the selected input ponderated to the volume
The Senkau Span A is the average from the Kijun (fast line) and the Tenkan (slow line) lines and it's choosable from:
1. The normal price version
2. The volume mode
3. The average between points 1 and 2
4. The automatic average between the two fast lines that you've chosen
The Senkau Span B is the slowest line of the indicator, used to determine the long-term trend, and can be chosen from:
1. The normal average price between the high and the low of the selected period
2. The volume average price, using the Volume Weighted Moving Average
The Trama Backline is the popular "LUX Algo" T.R.A.M.A. indicator, which I'm thankful for, and can be fantastically used to display the current trend strength and condition. This line is readable in the following way:
- If the line is moving sideways, the trend may be in a consolidation phase
- If the line is moving upwards or downwards, the trend may be in a trend phase
Strategy Myth-Busting #7 - MACDBB+SSL+VSF - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our seventh one we are automating is the "Magic MACD Indicator: Crazy Accurate Scalping Trading Strategy ( 74% Win Rate )" strategy from "TradeIQ" who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 427% profit with a 74% winrate over 100 trades in just a 4 months. I was unable to emulate these results consistently accommodating for slippage and commission but even so the results and especially the high win-rate and low markdown is pretty impressive and quite respectable.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
AK MACD BB v 1.00 by Algokid
SSL Hybrid by Mihkel00
Volume Strength Finder by Saravanan_Ragavan
This is considered a trend following Strategy. AK MACD BB is being used as the primary short term trend direction indicator with an interesting approach of using Bollinger Bands to define an upper and lower range and upon the MACD going above the upper Bollinger Bands, it's indicative of an up trend, where as if the MACD is below the lower Bollinger Band, it's indicative of a down trend. To eliminate false signals, SSL Hyrbid is used as a trend confirmation filter, confirming and eliminating false signals from the MACD BB. It does this by validating the price action is above the the EMA and the SSL is positive that is a confirmation of an uptrend. When the price action is below the EMA and the SSL is negative, that is an confirmation of a downtrend. To avoid taking trades during ranged markets, VSF Buyer's Strength is used so the buyers/sellers strength and must be above 50% or the trade will not be inititiated.
Trading Rules
5 min candles but other lower time frames even below 5m work quite well too.
Best results can be found by tweaking these 2 input parameters:
Number Of bars to look back to ensure MACD isn't above/below Zero Line
Number Of bars back to look for SSL pullback
Long Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB BB issues a new continuation long signal. A new green circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously red
SSL Hybrid price action closes above the EMA and the line is blue color and then creates a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from blue to gray or from blue to red.
VSF Buyers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new long signal.
Short Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB issues a new continuation short signal. A new red circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously green
SSL Hybrid price action closes below the EMA and the line is red color then it has to create a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from red to gray or from red to blue.
VSF Sellers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new short signal.
Stop Loss at EMA Line with TP Target 1.5x the risk

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

Money Flow IntensityThis indicator works very similarly to Elder's Force Index (EFI) and builds on top of what I have for the Money Flow Line (see my other scripts). It combines price movements with volume to create sort of "dollar flow" pressure up and down, looking for "smart money" ("big money") to make their move.
The indicator uses a lookback period to calculate a standard deviation of the movement intensity, then creates gradients to visualize how intense the movement is relative to other movements. This helps measure the pull away from the average more easily than with the Money Flow Line alone.
Much like with EFI, high intensity moves can indicate two things:
1. Strength and conviction in the current direction OR...
2. A reversal is coming soon
You can also watch for waning volume in the current direction, indicating that a trend is losing interest and may be due for a pullback.
There is no way to know, but combining this with price action and a trend indicator can help give you some good educated guesses about what could happen next. Combine with averaging in or out and managing risk appropriately. Good luck :)
Aggregated Volume Spot & Futures ⚉ ＯＶＥＲＶＩＥＷ ⚉
The indicator presents a comprehensive approach to Aggregated Volume Data . Works on almost all CRYPTO Tickers!
The script also includes several input parameters that allow the user to control which exchanges and currencies are included in the aggregated data.
This script allows the user to choose from several data display modes, including volume, spot & perp, delta, cumulative delta, and others.
The user can also choose how volume is displayed (in assets, U.S. dollars or euros) and how it is calculated (sum, average, median, or dispersion).

I don't pretend to be the best choice for calculating CVD , Delta and Liquidations, the calculations are chosen to be optimal from what I have seen and know.
If you have any ideas what to add to my work to add more sources or make calculations cooler, suggest in DM .
On Balance Volume CrossoversCheck on balance volume but with crossover. You can choose the smoothing method, which is set by default to use the Volume Weighted Moving Average (bringing volume to the equation is always a good idea) but you can change to SMA, MA, EMA, ...
Hope you guys enjoy it and don't forget to rate it up! :)
I plan to include % from 0-100 OBV in here later! Stay tuned.
Feedback is cool.
Igniting CandlesDisplays (and alerts) abrupt changes in volume, by default it compares previous candle volume to the current one but average volume over custom look-back period can be specified. Simply adjust filter to the volume change (or average volume) required before visual indication and alert will fire.
The theory is that large changes in volume forecast the future movement; certainly combine this indicator with other tools to build a more sound trading plan.
True Accumulation/Distribution (TG fork)An accumulation/distribution indicator that works better against gaps and with trend coloring.
Accumulation/Distribution was developed by Marc Chaikin to provide insight into strength of a trend by measuring flow of buy and sell volume .
The fact that A/D only factors current period's range for calculating the volume multiplier causes problem with price gaps. They are ignored or even misinterpreted.
True Accumulation/Distribution solves the problem by using True Range instead of only relying on current period's high and low.
Most of the time, True A/D reverts to producing the same values as the original A/D. The difference between True A/D and original A/D can be better seen when a gap has occurred, True A/D has handles it better than Accumulation/Distribution which a bearish close in period's range cause it to misinterpret the strong buy pressure as sell volume
The Moving Average Cloud is simply the filling between the moving average and the True A/D. This feature was inspired by D7R ACC/DIST closed-source indicator, kudos to D7R for making such neat visual indicators (but unfortunately all closed source!).
This indicator was made to extend the original work by adding MTF support and a moving average cloud and coloring.
If you like this indicator, please show the original author RezzaHmt some love:
Liquidations by volume (TG fork)Shows actual liquidations on a per-candle basis by using the difference in volume between spot and futures markets.
i.e. volume on a futures market will be much higher if there are many liquidations.
By default, green represents short liquidations (hence a bullish move, hence why it's green), whereas red is for long liquidations (bearish move). The colors can be changed in the settings if you prefer an inverted theme.
Long liquidation data should in theory be more accurate than short liquidation data due to the inability to short on a spot market.
This indicator should be able to help identify trends by determining liquidation points in the chart.
Extended by Tartigradia to automatically detect the symbol (only for crypto assets found on Binance with a USDTPERP pair, so it works for ETH, BNB, etc) and add multi-timeframe support (MTF).

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

Combined Moving Averages + Squeeze & Volume Spike SignalsThis is a set of 4 combined moving averages. Each moving average is a combination of an EMA, SMA, HMA, RMA, WMA and VWMA with the same length as set in your input settings. All 6 of them are added together and then divided by 6 for an average of all of them. This is based on the theory that most traders use their own preference of moving averages, so combining them all should give us a better idea of where price should actually react since we are using the average of what most traders are using on their charts. It also smooths the moving averages out as well so you get a much easier to read moving average than any of them on their own which should help you hold positions longer and time your entries better.
The default lengths used for this indicator are as follows: 10, 50, 100 and 500. These lengths can be updated in the settings. The 10 and 500 will change colors when the individual moving average is less than or greater than its previous value. Price above or below the moving average does not affect the colors. The 50 and 100 are colored based on whether the 50 is greater/less than the 100.
The two middle length moving averages by default are the 50 and 100. This has been turned into a cloud because it is the area where price typically bounces, since tons of traders use the 50 and 100 moving averages. This should be your long/short zone when price is trending.
Each moving average can be set to use a different source such as close, open, high, low, ohlc4, etc. You can also adjust the length of each moving average. Default settings work well, but feel free to customize them to your liking. You can also change the colors of the lines in the settings.
Beware that changing the lengths of MA #2 and MA #3 will change the signals, squeezes and the cloud.
VOLUME SPIKES
The cloud will change to a brighter color when a volume spike is detected. When a major volume spike is detected, it will turn very bright colored green/red according to the direction of the cloud. This notifies you of volume spikes so you have a better idea of how strong the trend is. If the cloud is a dark green/red then that means that volume is less than or equal to the recent median volume.
SIGNALS
There are also signals that will be given when the current candle is in the cloud, the candle is going in the same direction as the cloud, the MA #2 and MA #3 is going in the same direction and a volume spike is detected. These help you identify good entries when markets are trending. Be cautious of these signals when the trend is sideways and not clearly moving in one direction. The signals can be turned on or off in the settings.
SQUEEZE
Many times when moving averages squeeze together, a big move happens shortly after. Because of this I added a yellow background color when a squeeze is detected. It looks at the median value difference of the MA #2 and MA #3 and if the current value difference is less than the median multiplied by the multiplier in the settings then it will change the background color to notify you. The default value of the multiplier is .6, meaning the squeeze signal will only show if the current value difference of the cloud is less than .6 of the median difference. The multiplier can be adjusted in the settings to suit your preferences. Lower values will only show tighter squeezes.
MARKETS
This indicator can be used on all markets including stocks, crypto, futures and forex.
TIMEFRAMES
This indicator can be used on all timeframes.
PAIRINGS
We recommend pairing this combined moving average with Trend Friend Swing Trade And Scalp Signals for extra confluence. Look for price to bounce in the cloud with good volume and a confirming signal from Trend Friend for highly probable moves.
Volume Candles Standardized (VCS)This is an indicator that shows the inflow and outflow of volume into a financial instrument. Volume is likely one of the most underrated source of data in trading unfortunately so there seems to be a lack of studies on it. The size of the candle is related to the strength of the move. The calculations for this are: cumulative sum of +volume if open < close OR -volume if open > close. I have added percentile bands so you know where the neutral zones and strong zones are. Interestingly you can also see what the volume is doing by watching where the neutral zone is. If the volume is in the red or green it is a strong move. This is standardized to make it more useful. Now you can see where the exhaustion points are on the short term. Dont forget you can change the settings and you wont die. Thank you for your interest in this release I hope you find great piles of money with it.
Up/Down Vol RatioThe Up/Down Volume Ratio is a tool utilized by investors.com. They describe it as "A 50-day ratio that is derived by dividing total volume on up days by the total volume on down days. A ratio greater than 1.0 implies positive demand for a stock."
It is best used to confirm buying or selling pressure in your stock in conjunction with price analysis.

Volume Profile Volume Delta OI Delta [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
This script serves to distinguish volume delta for any asset and open interest delta for Binance perpetual futures.
The image above provides further explanation of functionality and color correspondence.
The image above shows the indicator calculating volume at each tick level and displaying the metric.
The label color outline (neon effect) is configurable; the image above is absent the feature.
The image above shows Open Interest (OI) Delta calculated - similar to how the script calculates volume delta - for a Binance Perpetual Future pair.
This feature only works for Binance Futures pairs; the script will not load when trying to calculate OI Delta on other assets.
Additionally, a heatmap is displayable should you configure the indicator to calculate it.
The image above shows a heatmap using volume delta calculations.
The image above shows a heatmap using OI delta calculations.
Of course, these calculations - when absent requisite data - require some assumptions to better replicate calculations with access to requisite data.
The indicator assumes a 60/40 split when a tick level is traded at and only one metric - "buy volume" or "sell volume" is recorded. This means there shouldn't be any levels recorded where "buy volume" is greater than 0 and "sell volume" equals 0 and vice versa. While this assumption was performed arbitrarily, it may help better replicate volume delta and OI delta calculations seen on other charting platforms.
This option is configurable; you can select to have the script not assume a 60/40 split and instead record volume "as is" at the corresponding tick level.
The script also divides volume and open interest if a one-minute bar violates multiple tick levels. The volume or open interest generated on the one-minute bar will be divided by the number of tick levels it exceeds. The results are, subsequently, appended to the violated tick levels.
Further, the script can be set to recalculate after a user-defined time threshold is exceeded. You can also define the percentage or tick distance between levels.
Also, it'd be great if this indicator can nicely replicate volume delta indicators on other charting platforms. If you've any ideas on how price action can be used to better assume volume at the corresponding price area please let me know!
Thank you (:
Movement Polarization (MoP)This shows the negative or positive charge of price movement and volume .
The "Polarization" shows how much negativity or positivity the movement of the price and volume have.
IMPORTANT:
Use with crypto currencies only is highly recommended.
If the volume in a currency is not visible, adjust the "Factor" number higher in the "Inputs" tab.
Adjust it until there is a balance between the vertical spread of the volume and polarization.
There will be a noticeable jump in the scale of the indicator if it is set too high.
The "Factor" is scaled at a baseline for SHIB prices. Any lower price scales than SHIB's will not show the volume .
Version:
This is a forked codebase to conserve the functionality of "RSI TV". The "RSI TV" focuses only on the RSI trend, this focuses on price and volume movement.
As such, there is no need for the MA of the RSI. Also, the TV Line from the "RSI TV" is used to show polarization of movement in this context.
The Trend Veracity line from the "RSI TV" has a broad scope in verifying different, particular trends, not just the RSI trend.
The RSI, volume, and polarization are all conveniently placed within the same scale to facilitate longer-term trading with price action. See also: "RSI TV" .
How this indicator is original; what it does, and how it does it:
This indicator has an original, unique ability to give the volume a further-projecting forecast.
The MoP does this by placing the volume on a vertical scale. It then compares it to a polarization level.
This gives 3 reference points: 1) Past data of volume, 2) volume vertical thresholds, and 3) polarization levels.
The volume by itself has no reference but its own past data. This gives a short-sighted forecast.
How to use it:
Useful with a trend finding indicator and price-action trading. See notes in picture above (scroll chart left to see first note).
Extra indicator shown in chart is an adjusted "ARL Bands" .
1) A condensing of volume and polarization usually means that an uptrend will soon turn.
2) A widening of volume and polarization usually means that a downtrend will soon turn.
3) A weak uptrend is indicated when volume falls while low, positive polarization also falls.
4) A growing uptrend is indicated when volume and positive polarization grow together.
5) Overlapping volume and positive polarization usually signifies oncoming peaks.
Time & volume point of control / quantifytoolsWhat are TPOC & VPOC?
TPOC (time point of control) and VPOC (volume point of control) are points in price where highest amount of time/volume was traded. This is considered key information in a market profile, as it shows where market participant interest was highest. Unlike full fledged market profile that shows total time/volume distribution, this script shows the points of control for each candle, plotted with a line (time) and a dot (volume). The script hides your candles/bars by default and forms a line in the middle representing candle range. In case of candles, borders will still be visible. This feature can be turned off in the settings.
Volume and time data are fetched from a lower timeframe that is automatically adjusted to fit the timeframe you're using. By default, the following settings are applied:
Charts <= 30 min: 1 minute timeframe
Charts > 30 min & <= 3 hours : 5 minute timeframe
Charts > 3 hours & <= 8 hours : 15 minute timeframe
Charts > 8 hours & <= 1D: 1 hour timeframe
Charts > 1D & <= 3D : 2 hour timeframe
Charts > 3D: 4 hour timeframe
Timeframe settings can be changed via input menu. The lower the timeframe, the more precision you get but with the cost of less historical data and slower loading time. Users can also choose which source to use for determining price for points of control, e.g. using close as source, the point of control is set to match the value of lower timeframe candle close. This could be replaced with OHLC4 for example, resulting in a point of control based on OHLC average.
To identify more profound points of market participant interest, TPOC & VPOC as percentage of total time/volume thresholds can be set via input menu. When a point of control is equal to or greater than the set percentage threshold, visual elements will be highlighted in a different color, e.g. 50% VPOC threshold will activate a highlight whenever volume traded at VPOC is equal to or greater than 50% of total volume. All colors are customizable.
VPOC is defined by fetching lower timeframe candle with the most amount of volume traded and using its close (by default) as a mark for point of control. For TPOC, each candle is divided into 10 lots which are used for calculating amount of closes taking place within the bracket values. The lot with highest amount of closes will be considered a point of control. This mark is displayed in the middle point of a lot:
How to utilize TPOC & VPOC
Example #1: Trapped market participants
One or both points of control at one end of candle range (wick tail) and candle close at the other end serves as an indication of market participants trapped in an awkward position. When price runs away further from these trapped participants, they are eventually forced to cover and drive price even further to the opposite direction:
Example #2: Trend initiation
A large move that leaves TPOC behind while VPOC is supportive serves as an indication of a trend initiation. Essentially, this is one way to identify an event where price traded sideways most of the time and suddenly moved away with volume:
Example #3: POC supported trend
A trend is healthy when it's supported by a point of control. Ideally you want to see either time or volume supporting a trend:
