Student Wyckoff volume background levels
**STUDENT WYCKOFF Volume Background Levels**
This indicator colors volume bars according to how large or small the current volume is relative to the recent background. Instead of looking at “raw” volume, it shows whether today’s activity is *extreme, high, normal, low or ultra-low* compared to what is usual for this market and timeframe.
### Concept
* The script calculates a **background average volume** over a user-defined number of bars (background window).
* For each bar it computes the ratio:
> `Volume Ratio = Current Volume / Average Volume`
* Depending on how big this ratio is, the volume bar is assigned to one of five categories and colored accordingly.
This makes it very easy to see where real effort (unusual activity) appears and where the market is quiet.
### Color scheme and thresholds (default)
All thresholds are defined as a multiple of the average volume:
* **Extreme volume** – **purple**
`volume ≥ Extreme * average` (default 3.0×)
Very rare, climactic activity. Often associated with buying/selling climaxes, stopping volume or very aggressive participation.
* **High volume** – **light red**
`volume ≥ High * average` (default 1.5×)
Clearly above-average volume. Important bars in trends or near key support/resistance.
* **Normal volume** – **gray**
Around the background average. Regular market activity.
* **Low volume** – **light yellow**
`volume ≤ Low * average` (default 0.7×)
Below-average activity. In Wyckoff/VSA context this can support ideas like No Demand / No Supply (together with spread and result).
* **Ultra-low volume** – **bright green**
`volume ≤ Ultra Low * average` (default 0.3×)
Very quiet market. Often marks zones of complete disinterest, late phases of trends, or calm periods before new campaigns.
All multipliers and colors are user-adjustable.
### How to use it
This is **not a standalone buy/sell signal**, but a visual tool to support Wyckoff/VSA reading:
* Highlight **climactic or stopping bars** by looking for purple (extreme) and light-red (high) volume around important price levels.
* Confirm **No Demand / No Supply** ideas by checking for low or ultra-low volume while price is drifting.
* Study how volume background changes between phases of a trading range, mark-up and mark-down.
The indicator works on any symbol and timeframe, uses only closed bars (no repainting) and is intended for educational and analytical purposes. Always combine it with your own price action reading, risk management and trading plan.

NSF/NBF Boxes📘 NSF / NBF Extended Boxes (Wyckoff–VSA Smart Zones)
This indicator automatically detects No Supply (NSF) and No Buying / No Demand (NBF) bars using Wyckoff–VSA principles and marks them with extended boxes and a dashed 50% midline.
🟢 NSF (No Supply) — Bullish accumulation signal
🔴 NBF (No Demand) — Bearish distribution signal
Each box extends forward in time to highlight key supply/demand zones, while the dashed midline represents the equilibrium level within that bar.
When price later retests this 50% level, the script triggers a visual marker and an alert condition, helping you spot potential reversals or continuation confirmations.
🧠 Core Features
Automatic detection of No Supply / No Demand bars
Extended boxes with adjustable length and auto-extension
Midline (50%) retest alerts for precise trade timing
Optional EMA trend filter, volume check, and close bias
Works even on symbols without volume data (crypto, indices, FX)
“Test Mode” included for easy visualization and debugging
⚙️ Usage Tips
Use on 5m–4h charts for crypto or stocks to spot professional activity.
Combine with Wyckoff, VSA, or Smart Money Concepts to confirm accumulation/distribution phases.
Look for NSF retests near support in a downtrend → possible long entry.
Look for NBF retests near resistance in an uptrend → possible short entry.
🧩 Parameters
Ignore Volume: disables volume filters for markets with missing data
Use EMA Trend Filter: only confirm signals in direction of trend
Auto-extend Boxes: keeps zones projecting into future bars
Retest Alerts: triggers when price touches midline after formation
💡 Author’s Note
This tool visualizes the often-hidden behavior of smart money absorption and weak demand exhaustion.
Use it as part of a complete trading plan — not as a standalone buy/sell signal
Silent Trigger Silent Trigger combines widely used concepts under one scoring engine. Each module adds weight only when its conditions are met:
1. Higher-Timeframe (HTF) context
• Requests 1H and the next HTF up (e.g., 4H/D) with request.security(...) on confirmed bars only.
• Uses RSI(14) and a MACD line (EMA12–EMA26 difference) for bias.
• By default HTF weights the score. There is an option to require HTF alignment if you prefer a hard filter.
2. Market regime
• ADX for trend strength.
• Bollinger Band width and a fractal-energy proxy to detect squeeze/coiling vs expansion.
3. Smart-money / Wyckoff structure
• High-volume narrow bars, absorption, spring/upthrust, and liquidity grabs past recent swing highs/lows.
4. Momentum & divergences
• RSI and MACD-line divergences (regular + hidden) and simple exhaustion checks.
5. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
• 3-bar gap with mid-gap revisit confirmation.
6. Volume context
• Relative volume and a compact 10-bin rolling volume profile to locate HVN proximity.
7. Sessions / time filter
• Optional London/NY “kill zone” participation filter.
8. Correlation (optional)
• Simple BTC trend check for USD-quoted markets.
Pre-Move (yellow) logic:
Triggers only when the market is compressed (squeeze/low fractal energy), ADX is rising, the MACD histogram is near zero (pressure building), and there is a money-flow impulse (MFI slope and/or OBV Z-score spike).
The yellow diamond is plotted on the side of the expected move:
• Below for bullish reversals / Above for bullish breakouts.
• Above for bearish reversals / Below for bearish breakouts.
A built-in cooldown keeps yellows from spamming.
⸻
What appears on the chart
• Bull diamond (green): Total score ≥ your threshold and > bear score.
• Bear diamond (magenta): Mirror of the above.
• Pre-move (yellow): Early heads-up; use it with HTF context and structure.
All diamonds are intentionally tiny to minimize clutter.
⸻
Key settings
• Signal Mode & Min Probability – tighten/loosen confirmations.
• Use Higher TF in Scoring – soft weighting (default).
• Require HTF Alignment – optional hard gate.
• Module toggles – Smart Money, Wyckoff, FVG, Correlation, Sessions.
• Pre-Move – enable, cooldown bars, MFI levels, OBV Z-score threshold.
⸻
How to use (practical)
1. Choose a TF that matches your style (5–15m intraday, 1H–4H swing).
2. Read HTF bias first; trade in that direction unless structure clearly supports a reversal.
3. Treat yellow as “get ready.” Act only when a green/magenta prints with structure (S/R, FVG, HVN) and acceptable risk.
4. Place stops beyond the liquidity level or FVG midpoint; size positions conservatively.
⸻
Repainting & HTF policy
• No lookahead is used anywhere.
• request.security is called on confirmed bars; the HTF MACD line is computed inside the HTF context (single series), not by indexing a tuple.
• Signals are designed for bar-close confirmation. Intra-bar alerts can change until the bar closes.
⸻
Limitations (honest)
• Money-flow features depend on volume quality; thin/synthetic volume reduces reliability.
• Pre-moves can fail during unscheduled news shocks or when HTF trend is dominant.
• This is not financial advice. You are responsible for entries, exits, and risk.
⸻
Alerts
Built-in bull/bear alerts include direction and a probability bucket (Basic/Moderate/Strong/Extreme).
Pre-move yellows are primarily visual; you can still set an alert on their plot condition if desired.
⸻
Why this isn’t a “mashup”
• A single probability engine blends HTF bias, structure (liquidity/Wyckoff/FVG), regime, and volume into a score, rather than stacking unrelated indicators.
• A pre-move detector that requires compression + rising trend energy + money-flow impulse, and places the marker on the side of the expected move, with cooldown control.
• A lightweight rolling HVN check to bias continuation vs mean-reversion near key nodes.
⸻
Changelog (summary)
• Current release: pre-move module, HTF hard-gate option, tiny diamonds, clarified HTF/no-repaint policy, session filter tidy-up.

VPSA-VTDDear Sir/Madam,
I am pleased to present the next iteration of my indicator concept, which, in my opinion, serves as a highly useful tool for analyzing markets using the Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) method or the Wyckoff methodology.
The VPSA (Volume-Price Spread Analysis), the latest version in the family of scripts I’ve developed, appears to perform its task effectively. The combination of visualizing normalized data alongside their significance, achieved through the application of Z-Score standardization, proved to be a sound solution. Therefore, I decided to take it a step further and expand my project with a complementary approach to the existing one.
Theory
At the outset, I want to acknowledge that I’m aware of the existence of other probabilistic models used in financial markets, which may describe these phenomena more accurately. However, in line with Occam's Razor, I aimed to maintain simplicity in the analysis and interpretation of the concepts below. For this reason, I focused on describing the data using the Gaussian distribution.
The data I read from the chart — primarily the closing price, the high-low price difference (spread), and volume — exhibit cyclical patterns. These cycles are described by Wyckoff's methodology, while VSA complements and presents them from a different perspective. I will refrain from explaining these methods in depth due to their complexity and broad scope. What matters is that within these cycles, various events occur, described by candles or bars in distinct ways, characterized by different spreads and volumes. When observing the chart, I notice periods of lower volatility, often accompanied by lower volumes, as well as periods of high volatility and significant volumes. It’s important to find harmony within this apparent chaos. I think that chart interpretation cannot happen without considering the broader context, but the more variables I include in the analytical process, the more challenges arise. For instance, how can I determine if something is large (wide) or small (narrow)? For elements like volume or spread, my script provides a partial answer to this question. Now, let’s get to the point.
Technical Overview
The first technique I applied is Min-Max Normalization. With its help, the script adjusts volume and spread values to a range between 0 and 1. This allows for a comparable bar chart, where a wide bar represents volume, and a narrow one represents spread. Without normalization, visually comparing values that differ by several orders of magnitude would be inconvenient. If the indicator shows that one bar has a unit spread value while another has half that value, it means the first bar is twice as large. The ratio is preserved.
The second technique I used is Z-Score Standardization. This concept is based on the normal distribution, characterized by variables such as the mean and standard deviation, which measures data dispersion around the mean. The Z-Score indicates how many standard deviations a given value deviates from the population mean. The higher the Z-Score, the more the examined object deviates from the mean. If an object has a Z-Score of 3, it falls within 0.1% of the population, making it a rare occurrence or even an anomaly. In the context of chart analysis, such strong deviations are events like climaxes, which often signal the end of a trend, though not always. In my script, I assigned specific colors to frequently occurring Z-Score values:
Below 1 – Blue
Above 1 – Green
Above 2 – Red
Above 3 – Fuchsia
These colors are applied to both spread and volume, allowing for quick visual interpretation of data.
Volume Trend Detector (VTD)
The above forms the foundation of VPSA. However, I have extended the script with a Volume Trend Detector (VTD). The idea is that when I consider market structure - by market structure, I mean the overall chart, support and resistance levels, candles, and patterns typical of spread and volume analysis as well as Wyckoff patterns - I look for price ranges where there is a lack of supply, demand, or clues left behind by Smart Money or the market's enigmatic identity known as the Composite Man. This is essential because, as these clues and behaviors of market participants — expressed through the chart’s dynamics - reflect the actions, decisions, and emotions of all players. These behaviors can help interpret the bull-bear battle and estimate the probability of their next moves, which is one of the key factors for a trader relying on technical analysis to make a trade decision.
I enhanced the script with a Volume Trend Detector, which operates in two modes:
Step-by-Step Logic
The detector identifies expected volume dynamics. For instance, when looking for signs of a lack of bullish interest, I focus on setups with decreasing volatility and volume, particularly for bullish candles. These setups are referred to as No Demand patterns, according to Tom Williams' methodology.
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
The detector can also operate based on a simple moving average, helping to identify systematic trends in declining volume, indicating potential imbalances in market forces.
I’ve designed the program to allow the selection of candle types and volume characteristics to which the script will pay particular attention and notify me of specific market conditions.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
Unified visualization of normalized spread and volume, saving time and improving efficiency.
The use of Z-Score as a consistent and repeatable relative mechanism for marking examined values.
The use of colors in visualization as a reference to Z-Score values.
The possibility to set up a continuous alert system that monitors the market in real time.
The use of EMA (Exponential Moving Average) as a moving average for Z-Score.
The goal of these features is to save my time, which is the only truly invaluable resource.
Disadvantages:
The assumption that the data follows a normal distribution, which may lead to inaccurate interpretations.
A fixed analysis period, which may not be perfectly suited to changing market conditions.
The use of EMA as a moving average for Z-Score, listed both as an advantage and a disadvantage depending on market context.
I have included comments within the code to explain the logic behind each part. For those who seek detailed mathematical formulas, I invite you to explore the code itself.
Defining Program Parameters:
Numerical Conditions:
VPSA Period for Analysis – The number of candles analyzed.
Normalized Spread Alert Threshold – The expected normalized spread value; defines how large or small the spread should be, with a range of 0-1.00.
Normalized Volume Alert Threshold – The expected normalized volume value; defines how large or small the volume should be, with a range of 0-1.00.
Spread Z-SCORE Alert Threshold – The Z-SCORE value for the spread; determines how much the spread deviates from the average, with a range of 0-4 (a higher value can be entered, but from a logical standpoint, exceeding 4 is unnecessary).
Volume Z-SCORE Alert Threshold – The Z-SCORE value for volume; determines how much the volume deviates from the average, with a range of 0-4 (the same logical note as above applies).
Logical Conditions:
Logical conditions describe whether the expected value should be less than or equal to or greater than or equal to the numerical condition.
All four parameters accept two possibilities and are analogous to the numerical conditions.
Volume Trend Detector:
Volume Trend Detector Period for Analysis – The analysis period, indicating the number of candles examined.
Method of Trend Determination – The method used to determine the trend. Possible values: Step by Step or SMA.
Trend Direction – The expected trend direction. Possible values: Upward or Downward.
Candle Type – The type of candle taken into account. Possible values: Bullish, Bearish, or Any.
The last available setting is the option to enable a joint alert for VPSA and VTD.
When enabled, VPSA will trigger on the last closed candle, regardless of the VTD analysis period.
Example Use Cases (Labels Visible in the Script Window Indicate Triggered Alerts):
The provided labels in the chart window mark where specific conditions were met and alerts were triggered.
Summary and Reflections
The program I present is a strong tool in the ongoing "game" with the Composite Man.
However, it requires familiarity and understanding of the underlying methodologies to fully utilize its potential.
Of course, like any technical analysis tool, it is not without flaws. There is no indicator that serves as a perfect Grail, accurately signaling Buy or Sell in every case.
I would like to thank those who have read through my thoughts to the end and are willing to take a closer look at my work by using this script.
If you encounter any errors or have suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you good health and accurately interpreted market structures, leading to successful trades!

Student Wyckoff Target Shooter
**Target Shooter — Equal Move Target Tool (Larry Williams idea)**
**1. What this indicator does**
Target Shooter is a tool that measures the last meaningful price swing and projects an **equal move target** in the direction of the breakout.
The logic is simple:
* The market makes a move from point A to point B (a swing high to a swing low, or vice versa).
* Then price breaks out above or below this swing range.
* Target Shooter takes the size of that swing and **adds it in the direction of the breakout**, showing a logical **price target zone** where the move may:
* slow down,
* react,
* or potentially reverse.
This is a practical implementation of the “Equal Moves” idea often referenced by Larry Williams.
---
**2. Core idea (example)**
Example from the classic explanation:
* Price drops from **80 down to 20** → the move is **60 points**.
* The swing range is now: **High = 80, Low = 20**.
* Later, price **breaks above 80**.
Target Shooter assumes:
> “If the market could move 60 points in one direction, after a breakout it may travel another 60 points in the opposite direction.”
So the upside target becomes:
* Move size: 80 − 20 = 60
* Breakout above 80
* **Target = 80 + 60 = 140**
The indicator finds such swings automatically and draws:
* **UT (Upper Target)** on upside breakouts
* **DT (Down Target)** on downside breakouts
---
**3. What you see on the chart**
1. **Target lines**
* When price breaks **above** a previous swing range, the indicator plots a horizontal **UT (Upper Target)** line — the projected equal move target.
* When price breaks **below** the previous swing range, it plots a **DT (Down Target)** line — the downside target.
* Each line is drawn from the breakout bar and extended to the right for a user-defined number of bars.
2. **Price labels**
* A small label “UT” or “DT” is shown at the end of the line with the exact target price.
* This makes it easy to see where the projected target is without checking the scale.
3. **Optional swing range (debug view)**
* There is an option to display the **swing range** that the target is based on (similar to a Donchian channel on previous bars).
* This shows the upper (swing high) and lower (swing low) boundaries the indicator used to define the last move.
---
**4. Key inputs (plain language)**
* **Swing window length (bars)**
How many bars back the indicator looks to find the last meaningful swing (highest high and lowest low).
This is like the length of a Donchian channel used to define the previous range.
Smaller values → more frequent, shorter targets.
Larger values → bigger swings and more distant targets.
* **Minimum move size (in ticks)**
This is a noise filter.
If the distance between the swing high and swing low is smaller than this threshold, no targets are drawn.
The indicator will only react to moves that are big enough to matter for your trading.
* **Breakout type: Close vs High/Low**
* **Breakout by Close**:
The target appears only when the **bar closes** above/below the swing range.
More conservative and fewer false signals.
* **Breakout by High/Low**:
The target appears as soon as the **high** or **low** of the bar breaks the swing range.
Faster and more aggressive, but more sensitive to noise.
* **Target line length (bars)**
How far to the right the UT/DT lines should be extended.
Shorter length → local target zones.
Longer length → important levels visible far into the future.
* **Appearance settings**
* Separate color, width and style for **UT** and **DT** lines.
* Option to show or hide labels with price and “UT/DT” text.
---
**5. How to use Target Shooter in trading**
> Important: this is **not** an entry signal indicator.
> Target Shooter is a **targeting and context tool**, not a standalone system.
Typical uses:
1. **Planning take-profit zones**
* You already have an entry signal from your own strategy (Wyckoff, Larry Williams patterns, levels, volume, whatever you use).
* Target Shooter shows a **logical equal move target** where the current wave can reasonably “shoot”.
* You can:
* place your main take-profit around the target,
* scale out part of the position,
* tighten stops when price approaches the target.
2. **Finding potential reaction / reversal areas**
* Equal move targets often act as **zones of interest**.
* If price reaches a UT/DT level and then shows weakness/absorption/volume spikes or reversal candles, this might be a good place to take profits or look for counter-trend opportunities (for experienced traders).
3. **Assessing trend strength**
* If price **easily exceeds** the equal move target and keeps going without any reaction, it suggests a very strong trend.
* If price **fails to reach** the target and reverses early, the move is weaker than expected.
---
**6. Timeframes**
Target Shooter can be used on:
* **Intraday** (M5, M15, M30, H1) — for shorter-term targets within the day,
* **Higher timeframes** (H4, D1 and above) — for swing and position trades.
General rule:
The **higher the timeframe and the larger the swing**, the **more important** the target level tends to be.
---
**7. Notes and limitations**
* The indicator does **not** predict the future.
It simply projects a geometric equal move from the last swing.
* It should be combined with your own trading framework:
* support/resistance,
* Wyckoff / VSA,
* trend tools,
* volume/flow, etc.
* Always keep proper risk management.
A target is a **scenario**, not a guarantee.

Indicador Wyckoff (Spring y Upthrust)Title: Wyckoff (Spring & Upthrust Only)
Description:
This indicator is a powerful tool for traders who follow the Wyckoff methodology. It is designed to identify and plot on the main price chart the two key reversal patterns: Spring and Upthrust.
Spring: A Spring is a false bearish breakout below a previous low. The indicator confirms this signal when there is a significant volume increase (volume greater than a moving average multiplied by a configurable factor) and the price recovers above the previous low within a specified number of bars. A confirmed Spring is plotted as a green circle on the chart.
Upthrust: An Upthrust is a false bullish breakout above a previous high. The indicator confirms this signal when there is a significant volume increase and the price reverses and closes below the previous high within a specified number of bars. A confirmed Upthrust is plotted as a red circle on the chart.
Key Features:
Customizable Parameters: You can adjust the "Search Range Length" to define the period for finding relative highs and lows, the "Volume Average Length" for the volume confirmation, the "Volume Multiplier" to set the sensitivity of the volume increase, and the "Recovery Bars" to determine how many bars are required for the price to confirm the reversal.
Visual Signals: The signals are displayed directly on the main chart, with green circles for Springs and red circles for Upthrusts, making them easy to spot.
Alerts: The indicator includes alerts for both Spring and Upthrust signals, so you can be notified as soon as a potential opportunity is detected.
Auto Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) [TANHEF]Auto Volume Spread Analysis (visible volume and spread bars auto-scaled): Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
All the sections below contain the same descriptions as my other indicator "Volume Spread Analysis" with the exception of 'Auto Scaling'.
█ Auto-Scaling
This indicator auto-scales spread bars to match the visible volume bars, unlike the previous "Volume Spread Analysis " version which limited the number of visible spread bars to a fixed count. The auto-scaling feature allows for easier navigation through historical data, enabling both more historical spread bars to be viewed and more historical VSA pattern labels being displayed without requiring using the bar replay tool. Please note that this indicator’s auto-scaling feature recalculates the visible bars on the chart, causing the indicator to reload whenever the chart is moved.
Auto-scaled spread bars have two display options (set via 'Spread Bars Method' setting):
Lines: a bar lookback limit of 500 bars.
Polylines: no bar lookback limit as only plotted on visible bars on chart, which uses multiple polylines are used.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and spread bars that consist of color coded levels, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

█ Usage:
The Volume Spread Analysis indicator is a helpful tool for leveraging volume spread analysis to make informed trading decisions. It offers comprehensive visual and textual cues on the chart, making it easier to identify market conditions, potential reversals, and continuations. Whether analyzing historical data or forecasting future trends, this indicator provides insights into the underlying factors driving market movements.
Volume Spread Analysis [TANHEF]Volume Spread Analysis: Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and/or spread bars that consist of color coded levels. If both of these are displayed, the number of spread bars can be limited for visual appeal and understanding, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. While automatic calculation of the number of visual bars for auto scaling is possible, it is avoided to prevent the indicator from reloading whenever the number of visual price bars on the chart is adjusted, ensuring uninterrupted analysis. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

Numbers RenkoRenko with Volume and Time in the box was developed by David Weis (Authority on Wyckoff method) and his student.
I like this style (I don't know what it is officially called) because it brings out the potential of Wyckoff method and Renko, and looks beautiful.
I can't find this style Indicator anywhere, so I made something like it, then I named "Numbers Renko" (数字 練行足 in Japanese).
Caution : This indicator only works exactly in Renko Chart.
////////// Numbers Renko General Settings //////////
Volume Divisor : To make good looking Volume Number.
ex) You set 100. When Volume is 0.056, 0.05 x 100 = 5.6. 6 is plotted in the box (Decimal are round off).
Show Only Large Renko Volume : show only Renko Volume which is larger than Average Renko Volume (it is calculated by user selected moving average, option below).
Show Renko Time : "Only Large Renko Time" show only Renko Time which is larger than Average Renko Time (it is calculated by user selected moving average, option below).
EMA period for calculation : This is used to calculate Average Renko Time and Average Renko Volume (These are used to decide Numbers colors and Candles colors). Default is EMA, You can choice SMA.
////////// Numbers Renko Coloring //////////
The Numbers in the box are color coded by compared the current Renko Volume with the Average Renko Volume.
If the current Renko Volume is 2 times larger than the ARV, Color2 will be used. If the current Renko Volume is 1.5 times larger than the ARV, Color1.5 will be used. Color1 If the current Renko Volume is larger than the ARV . Color0.5 is larger than half Athe RV and Color0 is less than or equal to half the ARV. Color1, Color1.5 and Color2 are Large Value, so only these colored Numbers are showed when use "Show Only ~ " option.
Default is Renko Volume based Color coding, You can choice Renko Time based Color coding. Therefore you can use two type coloring at the same time. ex) The Numbers Colors are Renko Volume based. Candle body, border and wick Colors are Renko Time based.
////////// Weis Wave Volume //////////
Show Effort vs Result : Weis Wave Volume divided by Wave Length.
ex) If 100 Up WWV is accumulated between 30 Up Renko Box, 100 / 30 = 3.33... will be 3.3 (Second decimal will be rounded off).
No Result Ratio : If current "Effort vs Result" is "No Result Ratio" times larger than Average Effort vs Result, Square Mark will be show. AEvsR is calculated by 5SMA.
ex) You set 1.5. If Current EvsR is 20 and AEvsR is 10, 20 > 10 x 1.5 then Square Mark will be show.
If the left and right arrows are in the same direction, the right arrow is omitted.
Show Comparison Marks : Show left side arrow by compare current value to previous previous value and show right side small arrow by compare current value to previous value.
ex) Current Up WWV is 17 and Previous Up WWV (previous previous value) is 12, left side arrow is Up. Previous Dn WWV is 20, right side small arrow is Dn.
Large Volume Ratio : If current WWV is "Large Volume Ratio" times larger than Average WWV, Large WWV color is used.
Sample layout
Student Wyckoff SR Strength (Multi Levels)
This indicator builds a simple, objective map of support and resistance based on recent price action. It scans a user-defined lookback window and clusters bar lows into support zones and bar highs into resistance zones. For each cluster it measures how often price interacted with that level and ranks the strongest zones.
**How it works**
* The script looks back over the last *N* bars (input **“Range length in bars left”**).
* Every bar low is added to a “support cluster”, every bar high to a “resistance cluster”.
* Price levels that are closer than a given number of ticks (input **“Merge levels, ticks”**) are merged into one zone.
* For each cluster the script counts how many bars touched that zone and divides this by the number of bars in the window.
* The result is plotted as horizontal lines: the top *K* support levels and the top *K* resistance levels, where *K* is set in **“Max support/resistance levels”**.
* Each line has a label with the level type and its **strength in %** (share of bars in the lookback window that touched this zone).
Higher percentages mean that price has interacted with this level more frequently inside the chosen range, which can help to highlight zones where the market repeatedly reacted in the past. The script does **not** generate trade signals; it only provides a visual context for your own Wyckoff / price-reading analysis.
**Inputs**
* **Range length in bars left** – number of bars used for calculating levels. Longer ranges give more “global” zones, shorter ranges focus on local structure.
* **Merge levels, ticks** – price tolerance for merging nearby highs/lows into one level.
* **Max support/resistance levels** – how many strongest support and resistance lines to display (1–5).
* **Support line width / Resistance line width** – thickness of each line.
* **Support line color / Resistance line color** – color of support and resistance lines.
* **Show strength in percent** – toggle labels with percentage strength.
* **Support label text / Resistance label text** – base text shown in labels before the percentage (can be customized).
* **Support label background / text color** – styling for support labels.
* **Resistance label background / text color** – styling for resistance labels.
* **Label text size** – global label font size (Tiny / Small / Normal / Large / Huge).
**Notes**
* All calculations are done on confirmed bars (`barstate.isconfirmed`) to avoid repainting within the current bar.
* The strength value is statistical and depends on the chosen range and merge settings. It should be combined with your own context analysis, volume, and higher-time-frame structure rather than used as a standalone entry or exit signal.
PRICE ACTION TRAKKERThis indicator isolates the core price-phase engine from the full Price Action Tracker (PAT) system.
It identifies and visualises structural phases of price, including:
Upper phase boundary (dynamic resistance)
Lower phase boundary (dynamic support)
Phase average (mean-reversion anchor)
Pivot markers (LPH, LPL, oLPH, oLPL)
The phase engine dynamically adapts to evolving market structure using pivot behaviour and structural breaks. This creates a real-time visual map of how price is organising itself — independent of time-based indicators and without the lag associated with classical moving averages.
This version focuses exclusively on price action structure, making it clean, fast, and ideal as a core tool on its own.
However, it is also designed as a foundation for more advanced analysis and will expand over time as additional modules are released.
This phase engine works exceptionally well in combination with my other indicators, such as moving-average structure tools, volume-weighted frameworks, and trend-strength models. Together, they provide a layered view of market behaviour:
phase structure → trend bias → volume confirmation → entry logic.
This makes the indicator valuable for:
Intra-day and swing traders
Wyckoff and liquidity-based traders
Mean-reversion and range-trading strategies
Understanding where accumulation/distribution behaviour is forming
Identifying when a phase is likely ending or breaking
Future updates will add modular expansion paths (trend scoring, VWAP phase weighting, multi-phase confluence, and signal logic), while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of this core engine.
Works Best With:
This indicator is part of a broader toolkit designed to analyse structure, trend, and behaviour.
When used alongside my other published tools — such as trend-strength MAs, VWMA frameworks, and higher-timeframe bias indicators — it provides a complete, multi-layered view of market conditions.
Student Wyckoff RS Symbol/MarketRelative Strength Indicator STUDENT WYCKOFF RS SYMBOL/MARKET
Description
The Relative Strength (RS) Indicator compares the price performance of the current financial instrument (e.g., a stock) against another instrument (e.g., an index or another stock). It is calculated by dividing the closing price of the first instrument by the closing price of the second, then multiplying by 100. This provides a percentage ratio that shows how one instrument outperforms or underperforms another. The indicator helps traders identify strong or weak assets, spot market leaders, or evaluate an asset’s performance relative to a benchmark.
Key Features
Relative Strength Calculation: Divides the closing price of the current instrument by the closing price of the second instrument and multiplies by 100 to express the ratio as a percentage.
Simple Moving Average (SMA): Applies a customizable Simple Moving Average (default period: 14) to smooth the data and highlight trends.
Visualization: Displays the Relative Strength as a blue line, the SMA as an orange line, and colors bars (blue for rising, red for falling) to indicate changes in relative strength.
Flexibility: Allows users to select the second instrument via an input field and adjust the SMA period.
Applications
Market Comparison: Assess whether a stock is outperforming an index (e.g., S&P 500 or MOEX) to identify strong assets for investment.
Sector Analysis: Compare stocks within a sector or against a sector ETF to pinpoint leaders.
Trend Analysis: Use the rise or fall of the RS line and its SMA to gauge the strength of an asset’s trend relative to another instrument.
Trade Timing: Bar coloring helps quickly identify changes in relative strength, aiding short-term trading decisions.
Interpretation
Rising RS: Indicates the first instrument is outperforming the second (e.g., a stock growing faster than an index).
Falling RS: Suggests the first instrument is underperforming.
SMA as a Trend Filter: If the RS line is above the SMA, it may signal strengthening performance; if below, weakening performance.
Settings
Instrument 2: Ticker of the second instrument (default: QQQ).
SMA Period: Period for the Simple Moving Average (default: 14).
Notes
The indicator works on any timeframe but requires accurate ticker input for the second instrument.
Ensure data for both instruments is available on the selected timeframe for precise analysis.

[CRTT] Dragon TrendModified Sonic R system based on Wyckoff logic to indicate current trend phase and strength based on the Dragon (EMA34) color.
1. Red : downtrend but the trend strength is weak and can be consider as phase |B| or |D|. Open positions in this color is risk, we should wait more.
2. Green : uptrend but the trend strength is weak and can be consider as phase |B| or |D|. Open positions in this color is risk, we should wait more.
3. Purple : uptrend and the strength of trend is strongly bullish that can be considered as phase |D| or |E| in accumulation phase. This is where we place our Long positions because the trend is strongly bullish and price could continue to run upward.
4. Blue : downtrend and the strength of trend is strongly bearish that can be considered as phase |D| or |E| in distribution phase. This is where we place our Short positions because the trend is strongly bearish and price could continue to run downward.
VPSA - Volume Price Spread AnalysisDear Analysts and Traders,
I am pleased to present the latest version of my indicator, based on the logic of analyzing spread and volume. In this version, the indicator examines spread and volume using min-max normalization. The statistical value is captured through Z-Score standardization, and I have added configurable alerts based on the normalized values of spread, volume, and the sigmas for these variables.
Theory and Evolution of the Indicator
The normalization function used in this program allows for the comparison of two values with different ranges on a single chart. The values that reach the highest within the examined range are assigned a value of one. As in previous versions, I have adopted a bar chart where the wider bar represents volume and the narrower bar represents spread. I believe that using normalization is the most intuitive approach, as the standardization in the earlier sVPSA version could cause confusion. This was due to smaller bars for higher actual values and negative bars, which required additional reliance on actual volume data and significant proficiency in using the indicator. These were limitations stemming from the computational aspect of these issues. As in the previously mentioned script, I also used Z-Score standardization here, which serves as a measure of deviation from the mean. This is visualized in the script as the color of the bars, which in the default configuration are as follows: below one sigma - blue; above one sigma up to two sigmas - green; above two sigmas up to three sigmas - red; and above three sigmas - fuchsia. Additionally, I applied an exponential moving average in this indicator to minimize the influence of older candles on the mean. The indicator has been enhanced with configurable alerts, allowing for substantial control over the conditions triggering them. The alerts enable the definition of normalized variable values and sigma values. Furthermore, the program allows for the definition of logical dependencies for these conditions.
Summary
The program I have developed is a synthesis of the most important and useful functions from the indicators I previously created. The indicator is a standalone and powerful tool that facilitates effective analysis of the spread-volume relationship, which is one of the fundamental methods of analysis according to the Wyckoff and VSA methodologies. The alerts introduced in this version provide extensive possibilities for controlling the dynamics of any market.
Should you encounter any errors or have suggestions regarding the indicator, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you successful analyses! All the best!

Master Pattern [LuxAlgo]The Master Pattern indicator is derived from the framework proposed by Wyckoff and automatically displays major/minor patterns and their associated expansion lines on the chart.
Liquidity levels are also included and can be used as targets/stops. Note that the Liquidity levels are plotted retrospectively as they are based on pivots.
🔶 USAGE
The Master Pattern indicator detects contraction phases in the markets (characterized by a lower high and higher low). The resulting average from the latest swing high/low is used as expansion line. Price breaking the contraction range upwards highlights a bullish master pattern, while a break downward highlights a bearish master pattern.
During the expansion phase price can tend to be stationary around the expansion level. This phase is then often followed by the price significantly deviating from the expansion line, highlighting a markup phase.
Expansion lines can also be used as support/resistance levels.
🔹 Major/Minor Patterns
The script can classify patterns as major or minor patterns.
Major patterns occur when price breaks both the upper and lower extremity of a contraction range, with their contraction area highlighted with a border, while minor patterns have only a single extremity broken.
🔶 SETTINGS
Contraction Detection Lookback: Lookback used to detect the swing points used to detect the contraction range.
Liquidity Levels: Lookback for the swing points detection used as liquidity levels. Higher values return longer term liquidity levels.
Show Major Pattern: Display major patterns.
Show Minor Pattern: Display minor patterns.
Weis Wave-Wave TypesWeis Wave - Waves Types indicator
The Concept
This indicator has been created based on David's Weis theory of cumulative volume histograms but this indicator has been enhanced with additional wave types to be able to identify the following:
Visually identify the Effort vs Result concept (too much volume but small pip move or small volume too large pip move). Imbalance of Supply and Demand.
Be able to monitor how volume progresses within the wave, if it is increasing, decreasing or staying steady.
Identify easily the large volume waves using the emphasized volume algorithm to analyze the price reaction afterwards following the theory that Institutions participate on large volumes
What it does
This indicator draws cumulative histograms of 5 different wave types. Up swing histogram is when price goes up and down swing histogram is when price goes down. It adds the volume of each bar within the wave swing, it adds the pips of each bar within the wave swing , it adds the time of each bar within the wave swing, it measures if the volume rate is increasing or decreasing within the wave swing and emphasizes on larger volume volume waves by increasing their size for visual purposes.
How it does it
The length of each cumulative histogram is equal to each wave price swing. The price wave sensitivity can be adjusted by AutoSensitivity parameter (min value =2 and max value=11). The larger the number the more sensitive it is, which means more wave swings will be created. The selectable values for the wave type are: Volume, Pips, Time, Progressive Volume Rate or Emphasized Volume. Furthermore the width of the cumulative histogram bars can be adjusted as well as the color of the up and the down swings. Finally divider input values are available for volume and pip to decrease large numbers on the y-axis of the histograms.
Wave Type Detailed Explanation
Volume: the indicator adds the volume of each bar within the price wave swing and creates a cumulative histogram
Pips: the indicator adds the bar distance from open to close and creates a cumulative histogram of the net pip movement of the price swing
Time: adds the time of each bar within the price wave swing and creates a cumulative histogram
Progressive Volume Rate (PVR): measures the volume rate within each wave (if volume is increasing or decreasing or staying steady as the wave progresses)
Emphasized Volume: the indicator adds the volume of each bar within the price wave swing and creates a cumulative histogram but contains an algorithm that emphasizes the large waves.
How to Use
Draw Support/Resistance and Fib - Monitor carefully the cumulative histograms at these levels. Usually supply and demand imbalance happens at this level.
First and most important of all adjust AutoSesnsitivity to get your swings correct. Getting the correct swings means waves are catching the tops and bottoms of each price wave swings.
Then identify potential trades by:
1. Comparison of cumulative Volume histogram vs Pip histogram which makes the concept of Wyckoff "Effort versus Result" identifiable, lot's of volume with small pip move = lot's of effort vs with small result. Supply and Demand imbalance.
2. Monitor Progressive Volume Rate histogram which measures if the volume rate is increasing, decreasing or remains steady within the price wave swing. This histogram indicates more or less participation as price increases or decreases within the specific wave. For example increase of volume rate as price goes up could mean more participation which could mean that sellers might be entering. Also the opposite is valid increasing volume rate as price goes down could mean that buyers are entering.
3. Emphasized Volume waves, provide a visual emphases on large volume waves only, useful for traders that like to trade with high volume trends and for traders that believe that in large volume waves large institutes participate. Trade with price trend but also with the volume trend concept.
What makes it unique
This indicator is an advance cumulative wave histogram because apart the regular volume histogram and apart form using each wave type individually to make a decision it provides more confidence and becomes more powerful when confluence is used combining the other wave types and by using the strategies mentioned above to a higher probability trade. Some examples are shown below
Example of Effort vs. Result Concept
Example of Progressive Volume Rate
Example of Emphasized Volume
Function Square WaveThis is a script to draw a square wave on the chart, with an indicator for current price.
Markets undergoing Dow Jones or Wyckoff Accumulation/Distribution cycles tend to move in such waves, and if the period of the cycles are detected, a signal for accumulation/distribution phases can be created as an early warning.
Useful inputs:
- Average True Range as the wave height.
- Assumed Wave period as the wave duration.
I divided the current price wave by 2 to make the indicator more visually friendly.

Dual Weis Wave VolumeIt took but left, a Weis wave volume that shows the main wave and the fractal wave, thinking of everyone who wants to save space with indicators, you can adjust 2 indicators within 1, it is the dual indicator.
This indicator calculates the volume waves, being created initially by David Weis, largely behind the wyckoff method that unfortunately died, being very useful in reading flow, replacing even Times in Trades in Tape Reading, since he makes the information more accurate visually.
The novelty is the addition of a fractal flow, that is, if the main one misses an information, the fractal will show, in addition to saving space to add another indicator and not the same with other values.

Renko Weis Wave VolumeA volume bulls vs bears power indicator that is based entirely on Wyckoff Weis Wave Volume trends. This indicator is part of my DIVINE series RENKO indicators that run on an engine capable of extracting Renko brick information from a time series. As with the Renko RSI and Renko Trend Momentum indicators, swapping between Renko and time series type charts(bar, candlestick , heikin ashi) is seamless.
The algorithm uses the cumulative volume sum during the lifetime of a Renko brick formation.
