Add/Subtract Volume + A/F/C v6

Add/Subtract Volume + A/F/C v6 is a volume-based indicator that focuses on cumulative volume after confirmed price structure breaks.
It visualizes whether buyers or sellers are in control and highlights key volume states: Absorption, Fatigue, and Climax.

The indicator is designed for VSA, trend context, breakout validation, and detecting exhaustion points within a move.

🧠 How the indicator works

Volume is accumulated only after a confirmed structure break:

Bull mode: close above previous high + volume above SMA

Bear mode: close below previous low + volume above SMA

Volume is added during bullish trends and subtracted during bearish trends

Each trend change resets cumulative volume

Bullish and bearish volume are displayed as separate histogram series

Special volume conditions are highlighted using colors
