Freedom of MovementFreedom of Movement Indicator
---------------------------------------------------------
In “Evidence-Based Support & Resistance” article, author Melvin Dickover introduces two new indicators to help traders note support and resistance areas by identifying supply and demand pools. Here you can find the support-resistance technical indicator called "Freedom of Movement".
The indicator takes into account price-volume behavior in order to detect points where movement of price is suddenly restricted, the possible supply and demand pools. These points are also marked by Defended Price Lines (DPLs).
DPLs are horizontal lines that run across the chart at levels defined by following conditions:
* Overlapping bars: If the indicator spike (i.e., indicator is above 2.0 or a custom value) corresponds to a price bar overlapping the previous one, the previous close can be used as the DPL value.
* Very large bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar of a large size, use its close price as the DPL value.
* Gapping bars: If the indicator spike corresponds to a price bar gapping from the previous bar, the DPL value will depend on the gap size. Small gaps can be ignored: the author suggests using the previous close as the DPL value. When the gap is big, the close of the latter bar is used instead.
* Clustering spikes: If the indicator spikes come in clusters, use the extreme close or open price of the bar corresponding to the last or next to last spike in cluster.
DPLs can be used as support and resistance levels. In order confirm and refine them, FoM (Freedom of Movement) is used along with the Relative Volume Indicator (RVI), which you can find here:
Clustering spikes provide the strongest DPLs while isolated spikes can be used to confirm and refine those provided by the RVI. Coincidence of spikes of the two indicator can be considered a sign of greater strength of the DPL.

Price Volume Strength ComparatorBollinger bands says whether price or any source is relatively high or low at any particular point of time. We can apply Bollinger bands on RSI and volume indicator Price Volume Trend to identify if RSI movement or PVT movement is relatively high or low.
By calculating Bollinger %B, we can define the variation in a range between 0 to 1. By applying Bollinger %B on price, volume and strength, we are trying to compare how much they differ relative to each other.
For example, if Bollinger %B of volume is higher than Bollinger %B of price, which may mean, we can still expect continuation of upward movement. If volume %B is lesser, we can interpret this as price has moved more than the volume and may retrace back.
Note: I tried adding multiple volume/strength indicators as input choice. But, if condition did not work with simple string. Have no idea why. I will try adding that later if more people show interest.
Engulfing Detector (Supply and Demand)Bullish and bearish engulfing candles marked with horizontal lines around engulfed candle.
This indicator can be used to assist in locating potential supply and demand zones.
The fresh zones will be of green and red line colors and the tested zone lines are grey in color.
Histogram - Price Action - Dy CalculatorThis script aims to help users of Price Action robot, for Smarttbot (brazilian site that automates Brazilian market (B3)).
You can use on any symbol.
The script will follow price action principles. It will calculate the absolute value of last candle and compare with actual candle. Colors are:
- Red - If the actual candle absolute value is higher than previous one, and the price is lower than last candle. It would be a short entry.
- Blue - If the actual candle absolute value is higher than previous one, and the price is higher than last candle. It would be a long entry.
- Black - The actual candle absolute value is lower than previous one, so there is no entry.
If there is a candle that is higher than previous one, and both high and low values are outside boundaries of previous one, it will calculate which boundary is bigger and will apply the collor accordingly.
UVOL DVOL Strength and Stagnant HistogramI liked the style of one of Noldo's scripts pertaining to Put/Call ratio so I adapted my existing UVol / DVol ratio script using his code from
I am also reducing the number of securities referenced to only Nasdaq which speeds up displaying
The yellow bars are meant to represent stagnant volume, with green / red representing strong up or down volume.
Note the indicator will display the same no matter which individual stock you are watching since it uses UVol and DVol from the whole Nasdaq exchange NOT the stock or security you are currently viewing.

Multiple VWAPAn intraday indicator which plots the 3 different VWAP.
1. D-VWAP shows VWAP from the first candle of the day
2. W-VWAP shows VWAP from the first candle of the week
3. M-VWAP shows VWAP from the first candle of the month
PVT Osc - Price Volume Trend Oscillator [UTS]The oscillator version of the Price Volume Trend indicator (PVT) can be considered as a leading indicator of future price movements. The PVT Indicator is similar to the On Balance Volume indicator as it is also used to measure the strength of a trend.
The difference between the OBV and the PVT is that where the OBV adds all volumes when price achieves higher daily closes and subtracts them when price registers a lower daily close, the PVT adds or subtracts only a portion of the volume from the cumulative total in relation to a percentage change in price.
The general market consensus is that this difference enables the PVT to more accurately represent money flow volumes in and out of a stock or commodity.
The PVT has been designed so that it is capable of forecasting directional changes in price. For instance, if the price of a stock is rising and the PVT begins to fall, then this is indicative that a price reversal could occur very soon.
The general consensus is that the PVT is more accurate at detecting new trading opportunities than the OBV because of the differences in their construction. The OBV is designed so that it adds the same amount of volume whether the price closes upwards by just a small fraction or by multiples of its day opening value. On the other hand, the PVT adds volume proportional to the amount the price closed higher.
General Usage
Plain old PVT can be used to confirm trends, as well as spot possible trading signals due to divergences.
A benefit of the oscillator version is that it can produce LONG or SHORT signals on zero line cross.
Or controversy, disallow LONG trades in bearish territory and disallow SHORT trades in bullish territory.
Moving Averages
4 different Moving Averages are available:
EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
SMA (Simple Moving Average)
VWMA (Volume Weighted Moving Average)
WMA (Weighted Moving Average)
ADL - Accumulation Distribution Line [UTS]an underlying asset.
It is determined by the changes in price and volume. The volume acts as a weighting coefficient at the change of price — the higher the coefficient (the volume) is the greater the contribution of the price change (for this period of time) will be in the value of the indicator. The indicator is also known as Accumulation / Distribution Index.
Common known variants of this type of indicator are the On Balance Volume, Chaikin Oscillator or Chaikin Money Flow.

Incremental Lines Above and BelowPut lines above and below current price by a specified value. The step value refers to the mintick value of the symbol. (e.g. BTCUSD has a mintick value of 0.01 so if you wanted an increment of $12.50 you would use 1250 for the number of steps between value)

QuantNomad - Bitcoin NVT/NVTSIn this script I included 2 quite interesting indicators for Bitcoin:
* NVT (Network Value to Transactions Ratio)
* NVTS (NVT Signal)
Both indicators are based on Bitcoin Network Value (Market Cap) and 24h transaction volume.
For both these values I'm using Quandl datasets from Blockchainc.com:
market_cap: QUANDL:BCHAIN/MKTCP
transac_vol: QUANDL:BCHAIN/ETRVU
Calculation for both indicators are pretty simple:
NVT = median(market_cap / transac_vol, 14 bars)
NVTS = market_cap / sma(transac_vol, 90 bars)
NVT and NVTS are cryptocurrency's answers to P/E ratio. They can help you to understand if bitcoin is under/overvalued.
When NVT or NVTS is relatively high it can be a pretty good point to short bitcoin, if it's low it good time to buy bitcoin.
NVT Ratio - was created by Willy Woo
NVT Signal - was created by Dimitry Kalichkin
Because of different sources of transaction volume data, these indicators can differ in values from originals, but magnitude should be the same.
This is a pretty simple example where you can select only static overbought/oversold levels and when indicator will be above/below it you will see in changing in color.
I have many more things in my head how these indicators can be developed further and what strategies can be derived from them, but as is they can be a pretty good base for you. Will share my advanced findings later.
Volume with directionOscillator plots cumulative volume with direction defined by price (positive price change = positive volume and vice versa) divided by volume sma.
It is good for divergence indication and can be used for trend change prediction.
It is faster then stoch with the same length.
Seasonality-Buschi
English:
This script shows the price development over the last year (default: green) and mean prices over the last three (default: light green), six (default: orange) and nine (default: red) years and is therefore at least some kind of approach towards true seasonality.
Thanks to user "apozdnyakov" for providing most of the code!

JSE Wyckoff Wave Volume Code// The Stock Market Institute (SMI) describes an propriety indicator the "SMI Wyckoff Wave" for US Stocks. This code is an attempt to make a Wyckoff Wave for the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).
// The JSE Wyckoff Wave is in a separate code. This is the code for the volume of the wave. Please see code for the JSE Wyckoff Wave which goes with this indicator.
//
// The Wave presents a normalized price for the 10 selected stocks (An Index for the 10 stocks).
// The theory is to select stocks that are widely held, market leaders, actively traded and participate in important market moves.
// This is only my attempt to select 10 stocks and a different selection can be made.
// I am not certain how SMI determine their weightings but what I have done it to equalize the Rand value of the stock volumne so that moves are of equal magnitude.
// The then provides a view of the overall condition of the market and volume flow in the market.
//
// I have used the September 2018 price to normalize the stock price for the 10 selected stocks based. The stocks and weightings can be changed periodically depending on the performance and leadership.
//
// Please, let me know if there is a better work around this.
The stocks and their weightings are:
"JSE:BTI"/0.79
"JSE:SHP"/2.87
"JSE:NPN"/0.18
"JSE:AGL"/1.96
"JSE:SOL"/1.0
"JSE:CFR"/4.42
"JSE:MND"/1.40
"JSE:MTN"/7.63
"JSE:SLM"/7.29
"JSE:FSR"/8.25
Volume/Pricethis is simple volume indicator by price
see the following trend- when the candle is red there is spike in volume before the rise up and next green candle. the indicator will deflect down with green -the stronger the volume the stronger the down deflection, the next bar will be green and strong up.
with down it will be opposite

Accumulation/Distribution Level (ADL) [Cyrus c|:D]This indicator shows Accumulation/Distribution level which can be used for confirming trends or reversals (via divergence). It is an alternative to Chaikin's Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL) and On Balance Volume (OBV) indicators. It can also replicate PVT and OBV via options in the input menu.
Here is a comparison of four related indicators:
OBV is too simple and has serious flaws as explained in PVT's wiki.
Chaikin's ADL is a broken indicator as can be seen in the chart below:
A/D Level addresses the flaws in these two indicators. It simply sums up portions of the volume that contributes to price change. These portions are visualized in dark green and red on "Accumulation/Distribution Volume (ADV)" indicator. This can also be achieved by ADV indicator if you are nerd enough.
PS: There is Williams A/D as well which is also a broken indicator.
Accumulation/Distribution VolumeThis is a simple yet powerful indicator that can replace volume, Money Flow, Chaikin Money Flow, Price Volume Trend (PVT), Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL), On Balance Volume (OBV).
When "Baseline Chart" option is disabled, it looks similar to regular volume. The volume bars has two shades of green and red. The dark shade shows amount of accumulation and the light shade shows total volume (what you see on a regular volume indicator). Blue line is the moving average (or cumulative total) of A/D and the gray line is for total volume.
When money volume is enabled, volume it multiplied by price. As you can see in the chart below, trade volume in terms of USD was declining after ATH. This is not the case in regular volume chart which shows instrument volume (chart above).
In Baseline view, the aggregation method you choose can turn it into different indicators. With EMA/SMA aggregation, blue and gray line shows buy/sell pressure. At 0, there is not buy or sell pressure.
If you turn off volume bars (from style menu), it gives you a reliable indicator to measure divergence. This should be more reliable than most other range-bound indicators (i.e. RSI, MFI, CMF). I will publish a TA about correctly measuring divergence (it's a must read even if you are a pro trader). Make sure that the length is set to a large number on smaller TFs such as 4h.
For following results, set aggregation to cumulative and turn off money volume:
When wick weight=0, the GRAY line is identical to OBV indicator.
When normalized by spread and wick weight=10, the BLUE line is identical to ADL (improved by true range).
When normalized by previous bar price, wick weight=0, the BLUE line is identical to PVT.
How I use this indicator:
- Baseline chart, replaced my regular volume indicator
- Mostly 4h TF for divergence
- EMA aggregation (and occasional cumulative aggregation) with length above 50. I change the length to 100 and 200 for confirmation.
- Wick weight=0 or max 2.
With this indicator, you can learn how different indicators are built and how they are different from each other. I will publish a TA to explain more about different indicators and their pros and cons.
I will publish this indicator without volume bars and additional options to make it range bound.
