Volume Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
Description:
This script is a simple script that plots a desired exponential moving average of buy and sell volume as a line chart with a tunable smoothing factor. There is a highlight on the plot area of either green or red to denote if the EMA of buy volume or sell volume is of a higher value. This indicator uses basic math of exponential averages and calculates volume using the formulas: "buy volume" = the product of total volume and the "closing price" minus the "low price" divided by "high price" minus the "low price" for a specific candle. Conversely, "sell volume" = the product of "total volume" and the "high price" minus the "close price" divided by "high price" minus the "low price" for a specific candle.
Utility:
This indicator is an effective way to gauge the acceleration/ deceleration of buyers and sellers in the market and can be used in combination with market structure and important levels to understand if buyers or sellers are taking over at any given time.
How to use this indicator:
There are two settings for this indicator:
1. The Length of the EMA: The length of the EMA can be adjusted based on your preference for a running number of candles' data. If you are interested to know short term changes in volume (e.g. over the past few candles at a major level) you can adjust this setting lower (~3-9 length). Conversely, if you are interested in volume trends over a greater number of candles you can increase this to your liking.
Personal preference : Because I am a short term daytrader/ scalper, I keep this setting at 6 length to see immediate changes in the acceleration or deceleration of buyers/ sellers.
2. The Smoothing Factor: The smoothing factor can be adjusted to further tune the size of trend you are interested in with 1 = No smoothing of the EMA line. Smoothing of the EMA line increases as the value for smoothing increases, resulting in a less volatile, more smooth EMA line. However, the more smooth the line, the less sensitive the EMA will be to immediate changes in volume pace. The less smoothing factor is applied, the more volatile data will be, resulting in quicker observation of shorter term trends. Again the same rules apply as the EMA length as these are similar in function: If you are interested to know short term changes in volume (e.g. over the past few candles at a major level) you can adjust this setting lower (~2-6). Conversely, if you are interested in volume trends over a greater number of candles you can increase this to your liking.
Personal preference : Because I am a short term daytrader/ scalper, I keep this setting at 2-4 smoothing factor to see immediate changes in the acceleration or deceleration of buyers/ sellers.
You should, of course, play with these settings to your exact preferences based on your trading style.
Tips for using this indicator:
General Use:
When the buy volume EMA is moving up, buyers are increasing the pace of buying and when the buy volume EMA is moving down, buyers are decreasing the pace of buying. Conversely, when the sell volume EMA is moving up, sellers are increasing the pace of selling and when the sell volume EMA is moving down, sellers are decreasing the pace of selling. The overall movement of the stock is relative to the combination of these rates. e.g. If both buyers and sellers are increasing at the same rate (EMAs slopes are roughly equal) there will be not a large change in price. If the slope of the buy volume EMA is greater than the slope of sell volume EMA, the price should move up. Conversely, if the slope of the sell volume EMA is greater than the slope of buy volume EMA, the price should move down.
Predicting pullbacks, reversals, and continuations:
This indicator allows you to see if buyers or sellers are increasing their pace, even if the stock price is in consolidation. This allows you to predict if out of the consolidation buyers or sellers are likely to win based on the momentum of the volume in consolidation. e.g. If price is in consolidation after an uptrend and the buy volume EMA starts to decrease, this could be a sign that buyers are running out of steam at this price level. Another example, If at a major support the buy volume EMA begins to trend up then buyers are accelerating the pace of buying at this level.
EMA crosses: There is something to be said about the point at which the buy volume EMA and sell volume EMA cross. This signifies that at this moment there is a shift in which the acceleration of one party outpaces that of the other and can result in increased speed of the movement of the stock price.
Considerations
Because volume changes constantly, this indicator is best to identify short term changes in volume that could impact price movements. It is not guaranteed to continue just because buyers or sellers have had a change in pace. Therefore it is advised to use this indicator in combination with significant price levels such as pivot points, or price levels from volume profile tools to identify the price zones where significant volume changes are likely to impact price movements. It is also advised to continue to monitor the changes in pace in buyers and sellers using this volume EMA indicator to determine if a change in pace is short lived or if it will continue for a longer duration.
Examples of use:

Bearish Continuation:
Bearish EMA Crossover: (Settings: Length 6, Smoothing factor 3)
Bullish EMA Crossover: (Settings: Length 6, Smoothing factor 4)

Liquidity Void Detector (Zeiierman)█ Overview
Liquidity Void Detector (Zeiierman) is an oscillator highlighting inefficient price displacements under low participation. It measures the most recent price move (standardized return) and amplifies it only when volume is below its own trend.
Positive readings ⇒ strong up-move on low volume → potential Buy-Side Imbalance (void below) that often refills.
Negative readings ⇒ strong down-move on low volume → potential Sell-Side Imbalance (void above) that often refills.
This tool provides a quantitative “void” proxy: when price travels far with unusually thin volume, the move is flagged as likely inefficient and prone to mean-reversion/mitigation.
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Shock (Participation Filter)
Each bar, volume is compared to a rolling baseline. This is then z-scored.
// Volume Shock calculation
volTrend = ta.sma(volume, L)
vs = (volume > 0 and volTrend > 0) ? math.log(volume) - math.log(volTrend) : na
vsZ = zScore(vs, vzLen) // z-scored volume shock
lowVS = (vsZ <= vzThr) // low-volume condition
Bars with VolShock Z ≤ threshold are treated as low-volume (thin).
⚪ Prior Return Extremeness
The 1-bar log return is computed and z-scored.
// Prior return extremeness
r1 = math.log(close / close )
retZ = zScore(r1, rLen) // z-scored prior return
This shows whether the latest move is unusually large relative to recent history.
⚪ Void Oscillator
The oscillator is:
// Oscillator construction
weight = lowVS ? 1.0 : fadeNoLow
osc = retZ * weight
where Weight = 1 when volume is low, otherwise fades toward a user-set factor (0–1).
Osc > 0: up-move emphasized under low volume ⇒ Buy-Side Imbalance.
Osc < 0: down-move emphasized under low volume ⇒ Sell-Side Imbalance.
█ Why Use It
⚪ Targets Inefficient Moves
By filtering for low participation, the oscillator focuses on moves most likely driven by thin books/noise trading, which are statistically more likely to retrace.
⚪ Simple, Robust Logic
No need for tick data or order-book depth. It derives a practical void proxy from OHLCV, making it portable across assets and timeframes.
⚪ Complements Price-Action Tools
Use alongside FVG/imbalance zones, key levels, and volume profile to prioritize voids that carry the highest reversal probability.
█ How to Use
Sell-Side Imbalance = aggressive sell move (price goes down on low volume) → expect price to move up to fill it.
Buy-Side Imbalance = aggressive buy move (price goes up on low volume) → expect price to move down to fill it.
█ Settings
Volume Baseline Length — Bars for the volume trend used in VolShock. Larger = smoother baseline, fewer low-volume flags.
Vol Shock Z-Score Lookback — Bars to standardize VolShock; larger = smoother, fewer extremes.
Low-Volume Threshold (VolShock Z ≤) — Defines “thin participation.” Typical: −0.5 to −1.0.
Return Z-Score Lookback — Bars to standardize the 1-bar log return; larger = smoother “extremeness” measure.
Fade When Volume Not Low (0–1) — Weight applied when volume is not low. 0.00 = ignore non-low-volume bars entirely. 1.00 = treat volume condition as irrelevant (pure return extremeness).
Upper Threshold (Osc ≥) — Trigger for Sell-Side Imbalance (void below).
Lower Threshold (Osc ≤) — Trigger for Buy-Side Imbalance (void above).

Manual VAH/VAL LevelsManual VAH/VAL Levels is a utility indicator that lets traders manually display the Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) from the prior trading day, based on a Fixed Range Volume Profile tool.
This script is designed to:
Draw horizontal lines at the manually input VAH and VAL levels
Label each line with the corresponding price, aligned clearly to the right of the chart
Display levels only during the regular trading session for focused market context
Maintain a clean chart appearance with transparent label backgrounds
💡 How to Use:
Apply TradingView's Fixed Range Volume Profile tool to the prior day's session
Manually enter the VAH and VAL values into the script settings
The script will draw and label these levels dynamically during the NY market session
This tool is ideal for:
Traders using volume-based key levels for intraday decision-making
Contextualizing price action near areas of prior day value
Confluence analysis when paired with opening range, CVD, or breakout systems
Volume Flow RatioVolume Flow Ratio (VFR) Indicator
Overview
The Volume Flow Ratio (VFR) is a sophisticated volume analysis tool that measures current trading volume relative to the maximum volume of the previous period. Unlike traditional volume indicators that show raw volume or simple moving averages, VFR provides context by comparing current activity to recent maximum activity levels.
Core Features
1. Split Period Analysis
- Multiple Timeframe Options:
- Daily: Compares to previous day's maximum
- Weekly: Week-to-week comparison
- NYSE Weekly: Specialized for stock market trading (Monday-Friday only)
- Monthly: Month-to-month analysis
- Quarterly: Quarter-to-quarter perspective
- Yearly: Year-over-year volume comparison
2. Ratio-Based Measurement
- Displays volume as a ratio (0 to 1+) rather than raw numbers
- 1.0 represents volume equal to previous period's maximum
- Example: If previous max was 50,000 contracts:
- Current volume of 25,000 shows as 0.5
- Current volume of 75,000 shows as 1.5
3. Triple Coloring Modes
- Moving Average Based:
- Compares current ratio to its moving average
- Customizable MA period
- Green: Above MA (higher than average activity)
- Red: Below MA (lower than average activity)
- Previous Candle Comparison:
- Simple increase/decrease from previous bar
- Green: Higher than previous bar
- Red: Lower than previous bar
- Candle Color Based:
- Syncs with price action
- Green: Bullish candles (close > open)
- Red: Bearish candles (close < open)
Primary Use Cases
1. Volume Profile Analysis
- Perfect for traders who need to understand when markets are most active
- Helps identify unusual volume spikes relative to recent history
- Useful for timing entries and exits based on market participation
2. Market Activity Traders
Ideal for traders who:
- Need to identify high-liquidity periods
- Want to avoid low-volume periods
- Look for volume breakouts or divergences
- Trade based on institutional participation levels
3. Mean Reversion Traders
Helps identify:
- Overextended volume conditions (potential reversals)
- Volume exhaustion points
- Return to normal volume levels after spikes
4. Momentum Traders
Useful for:
- Confirming trend strength through volume
- Identifying potential trend exhaustion
- Validating breakouts with volume confirmation
Advantages Over Traditional Volume Indicators
1. Contextual Analysis
- Shows relative strength rather than raw numbers
- Easier to compare across different time periods
- Automatically adjusts to changing market conditions
2. Period-Specific Insights
- Respects natural market cycles (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Special handling for NYSE trading days
- Eliminates weekend noise in stock market analysis
3. Flexible Visualization
- Three distinct coloring methods for different trading styles
- Clear reference line at 1.0 for quick analysis
- Histogram style for easy pattern recognition
Best Practices
For Day Traders
- Use Daily split for intraday volume patterns
- MA coloring mode with shorter periods (5-10)
- Focus on ratios during market hours
For Swing Traders
- Weekly or NYSE Weekly splits
- Longer MA periods (15-20)
- Look for sustained volume patterns
For Position Traders
- Monthly or Quarterly splits
- Candle color mode for trend confirmation
- Focus on major volume shifts
Limitations
- Requires one full period to establish baseline
- May be less effective in extremely low volume conditions
- NYSE Weekly mode specific to stock market hours
This indicator is particularly valuable for traders who understand that volume is a crucial component of price action but need a more sophisticated way to analyze it than simple volume bars. It's especially useful for those who trade based on market participation levels and need to quickly identify whether current volume is significant relative to recent history.
Scatter PlotThe Price Volume Scatter Plot publication aims to provide intrabar detail as a Scatter Plot .
🔶 USAGE
A dot is drawn at every intrabar close price and its corresponding volume , as can seen in the following example:
Price is placed against the white y-axis, where volume is represented on the orange x-axis.
🔹 More detail
A Scatter Plot can be beneficial because it shows more detail compared with a Volume Profile (seen at the right of the Scatter Plot).
The Scatter Plot is accompanied by a "Line of Best Fit" (linear regression line) to help identify the underlying direction, which can be helpful in interpretation/evaluation.
It can be set as a screener by putting multiple layouts together.
🔹 Easier Interpretation
Instead of analysing the 1-minute chart together with volume, this can be visualised in the Scatter Plot, giving a straightforward and easy-to-interpret image of intrabar volume per price level.
One of the scatter plot's advantages is that volumes at the same price level are added to each other.
A dot on the scatter plot represents the cumulated amount of volume at that particular price level, regardless of whether the price closed one or more times at that price level.
Depending on the setting "Direction" , which sets the direction of the Volume-axis, users can hoover to see the corresponding price/volume.
🔹 Highest Intrabar Volume Values
Users can display up to 5 last maximum intrabar volume values, together with the intrabar timeframe (Res)
🔹 Practical Examples
When we divide the recent bar into three parts, the following can be noticed:
Price spends most of its time in the upper part, with relative medium-low volume, since the intrabar close prices are mostly situated in the upper left quadrant.
Price spends a shorter time in the middle part, with relative medium-low volume.
Price moved rarely below 61800 (the lowest part), but it was associated with high volume. None of the intrabar close prices reached the lowest area, and the price bounced back.
In the following example, the latest weekly candle shows a rejection of the 45.8 - 48.5K area, with the highest volume at the 45.8K level.
The next three successive candles show a declining maximum intrabar volume, after which the price broke through the 45.8K area.
🔹 Visual Options
There are many visual options available.
🔹 Change Direction
The Scatter Plot can be set in 4 different directions.
🔶 NOTES
🔹 Notes
The script uses the maximum available resources to draw the price/volume dots, which are 500 boxes and 500 labels. When the population size exceeds 1000, a warning is provided ( Not all data is shown ); otherwise, only the population size is displayed.
The Scatter Plot ideally needs a chart which contains at least 100 bars. When it contains less, a warning will be shown: bars < 100, not all data is shown
🔹 LTF Settings
When 'Auto' is enabled ( Settings , LTF ), the LTF will be the nearest possible x times smaller TF than the current TF. When 'Premium' is disabled, the minimum TF will always be 1 minute to ensure TradingView plans lower than Premium don't get an error.
Examples with current Daily TF (when Premium is enabled):
500 : 3 minute LTF
1500 (default): 1 minute LTF
5000: 30 seconds LTF (1 minute if Premium is disabled)
🔶 SETTINGS
Direction: Direction of Volume-axis; Left, Right, Up or Down
🔹 LTF
LTF: LTF setting
Auto + multiple: Adjusts the initial set LTF
Premium: Enable when your TradingView plan is Premium or higher

Ultimate Multi Indicator - by SachaThe Ultimate Multi Indicator: The Ultimate Guide To Profit
This custom indicator, the Ultimate Multi Indicator , integrates multiple trading indicators to have powerful buy and sell signals. I combined MACD, EMA, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Volume Profile, and Ichimoku Cloud indicators to help traders analyze both short-term and long-term price movements.
Key Components and How to Use Them
- MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence):
- Use for trend direction and potentiality of reversals.
- The blue line (MACD Line) crossing above the orange line (Signal Line) indicates a bullish reversal; the opposite signals a bearish reversal.
- Watch for crossovers to confirm the direction of smaller price movements.
- 200 EMA (Long) (Exponential Moving Average):
- Use to indicate a long-term trend direction.
- If the price is above the 200 EMA, the market is in an uptrend; below it suggests a downtrend.
- The chart’s background color shifts subtly green (uptrend) or red (downtrend) depending on the EMA's relative position.
- RSI (Relative Strength Index):
- Tracks momentum and overbought/oversold levels.
- RSI over 70 signifies overbought conditions; under 30 indicates oversold.
- Look for RSI turning points around these levels to identify potential reversals.
- Bollinger Bands :
- The price touching or crossing the upper Bollinger Band may mean overbought conditions are filled, while a touch at the lower band indicates oversold.
- Bollinger Band interactions often align with key reversal points, especially when combined with other signals.
- Volume Profile :
- A yellow VP line on the chart represents significant trading volume occurred.
- This line can be used as both a support and resistance level, and especially during consolidations or trend changes.
- Ichimoku Cloud :
- Identifies support/resistance levels and trend direction.
- Green and red cloud regions visually show if the price is above (bullish) or below (bearish) key levels.
- Price above the cloud (green) confirms a bullish market, while below (red) signals bearish.
Signal Conditions and Visualization
- Buy Signals :
- This is triggered right away when MACD crosses up, RSI is oversold, or price touches the lower Bollinger Band, provided price is above both the Ichimoku Cloud and the 200 EMA.
- A green “BUY” label appears below the bar, suggesting a potential entry.
- Sell Signals :
- This signal is generated when MACD crosses down, RSI is overbought, or price touches the upper Bollinger Band, and price is below the Ichimoku Cloud and the 200 EMA.
- A red “SELL” label is shown above the bar, indicating a potential exit.
Tips & Tricks
- Confirm Signals : Use multiple signals to confirm entries and exits. For example, if both the MACD and RSI align with the Ichimoku Cloud direction, the trade setup is stronger.
- Trend Directions : Only take buy signals if the price is above the 200 EMA, and sell signals if it is below, aligning trades with the overall trend.
- Adjust for Volatility : In high-volatility markets, especially in the crypto markets, pay close attention to the Bollinger Bands for breakout potential.
- Ichimoku as a Trend Guide : Use the Ichimoku Cloud as a guide for long-term support and resistance levels, especially for swing trades.
This multi-layered indicator gives a balanced blend of short-term signals and long-term trend insights, making it a versatile tool for day trading, swing trading, or even longer-term analysis.
Remember that indicators that will make you rich instantly don't exist. To expect minimum profit from them, you shouldn't trade all you have at the same time but only trade with the money you can afford to lose.
After that being said, I wish you traders luck with the Ultimate Multi Indicator!
VWAP RangeThe VWAP Range indicator is a highly versatile and innovative tool designed with trading signals for trading the supply and demand within consolidation ranges.
What's a VWAP?
A VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) represents an equilibrium point in the market, balancing supply and demand over a specified period. Unlike simple moving averages, VWAP gives more weight to periods with higher volume. This is crucial because large volumes indicate significant trading activity, often by institutional traders, whose actions can reflect deeper market insights or create substantial market movements. The VWAP is also often used as a benchmark to evaluate the efficiency of executed trades. If a trader buys below the VWAP and sells above it, they are generally considered to have transacted favourably.
This is how it works:
Multiple VWAP Anchors:
This indicator uses multiple VWAPs anchored to different optional time periods, such as Daily, Weekly, Monthly, as well as to the highest high a lowest low within those periods. This multiplicity allows for a comprehensive view of the market’s average price based on volume and price, tailored to different trading styles and strategies.
Dynamic and Fixed Periods:
Traders can choose between using dynamic ranges, which reset at the start of each selected period, and specifying a date and time for a particular fixed range to trade. This flexibility is crucial for analyzing price movements within specific ranges or market phases.
Fixed ranges allow VWAPs to be calculated and anchored to a significant market event, the beginning of a consolidation phase or after a major news announcement.
Signal Generation:
The indicator generates buy and sell signals based on the relationship of the price to the VWAPs. It also allows for setting a maximum number of signals in one direction to avoid overtrading or pyramiding. Be sure to wait for the candle close before trading on the signals.
Average Buy/Sell Signal Lines:
Lines can be plotted to display the average buy and sell signal prices. The difference between the lines shows the average profit per trade when trading on the signals in that range. It's a good way to see how profitable a range is on average without backtesting the signals. The lines will also often turn into support and resistance areas, similar to value areas in a volume profile.
Customizable Settings:
Traders have control over various settings, such as the VWAP calculation method and bar color. There are also tooltips for every function.
Hidden Feature:
There's a subtle feature in this indicator: if you have 'Indicator values' turned on in TradingView, you'll see a Sell/Buy Ratio displayed only in the status line. This ratio indicates whether there are more sell signals than buy signals in a range, regardless of the Max Signals setting. A red value above 1 suggests that the market is trending upward, indicating you might want to hold your long positions a bit longer. Conversely, a green value below 1 implies a downward trend.
VWAP Boulevard [vnhilton](OVERVIEW)
The idea of this indicator comes from traders identifying supply to mainly look for shorts. Scenarios would be gap ups or pump & dumps where huge volume is transacted, & bag-holders are present. Some traders would draw resistance lines, I myself used to draw supply zones using the volume profile on that day, & others used the day VWAP on those days. VWAP Boulevard (I believe the name comes from the trader named team3dstocks) draws day VWAP lines from the highest volume days for a given period (excluding the current day).
(FEATURES)
- Draws horizontal & vertical lines from up to 250 highest volume days out of up to 3568 days, with the ability to hide either of these lines, their thicknesses, styles
- Extend/cut horizontal lines, or extend them all the way to the right
- Show the day VWAP, volume & age for these days in labels, with the ability to show what information you want to see only
- Separate customizable color forms for the lines & labels - ordinary (1 color); volume (2 color gradient from lowest to highest volume of the highest volume days); age (2 color gradient from youngest to oldest volume of the highest volume days)
- Edit offset & size of labels, & hide them
- Hide vertical lines
From left to right: Age color; ordinary color; volume color
250 highest volume days in the past year. Very messy so it's very likely you won't be using this but the ability to draw lines from 250 highest volume days is there if needed
(DRAWDOWNS)
- This indicator will only on the daily timeframe (error message will show up if unaware of this, & can be toggled off). Unfortunately, this would mean you would have to draw the lines manually yourself if you wish to use them on intraday timeframes.
- You may also encounter the 'Pine cannot determine the referencing length of a series. Try using max_bars_back' error. This occurs when the lookback period is very high & the indicator attempts to recalculate I believe. If this happens then reload the indicator.
The logic I used to obtain the highest volume days were to put all of the volume days in a given period in 1 array, then to sort them from highest to lowest, & also store their sorted indices in an separate array as well, so that drawings for each volume day could be done from the 2 arrays.
//Volume for last N periods
var int pastVol = array.new_int(lookbackPeriodFixed)
for i = 0 to lookbackPeriodFixed - 1
array.set(pastVol, i, int(volume ))
sortedIndices = array.sort_indices(pastVol, order.descending) //All Indices of sorted volume from highest to lowest
sortedIndices2 = array.slice(sortedIndices, 0, highestVolDays) //Indices of sorted volume from highest to lowest
array.sort(pastVol, order.descending) //All Volume sorted from highest to lowest
pastVol2 = array.slice(pastVol, 0, highestVolDays) //Volume sorted from highest to lowest
//Drawings
for i = 0 to highestVolDays - 1
index := array.get(sortedIndices, i)
vol := array.get(pastVol, i)
Since these array sizes were determined from the lookback period, it would mean that the request.security() function used to obtain daily values on intraday timeframes wouldn't work for a lookback period >20 (20 * 2 values I believe, which are the day VWAP & the day volume) as TradingView has put a maximum amount of calls of 40 in 1 script. Therefore, for intraday plots to work I would have to change the logic for getting the day VWAP & day volume for the highest days, as the request.security() function doesn't work on for loops, & this would also mean that the user would only be able to draw lines from up to 20 highest volume days instead of 250. I couldn't go forward with this as I wasn't able to find the logic to pick the highest volume days & their day VWAPs & times (indexes) without using a for loop. If anyone has any solutions (including for the 'Pine cannot determine the referencing length of a series. Try using max_bars_back' error) then please let me know. I've also left commented-out code for dealing with intraday drawings for future use.
RSI ProfileThis indicator shows the RSI profile from historical RSI Value and High / Low RSI Pivots.
It is inspired by the Volume Profile which is a common charting study that indicates activity at specified levels. It plots a histogram on the chart meant to identify dominant/significant levels.
This script is profiling RSI levels into a histogram, which can identify the crucial RSI values in the chart. Along with the pivot options that can help identify the dominant pivot points where RSI values had been rebounding historically.
How to use:
There are three profile types available in the settings. When selecting RSI Values, the indicator will count RSI values from history, and plot the count in a histogram at the end of the chart. If you select RSI Pivots High or RSI Pivots Low, the indicator will count only the RSI Pivot Highs and Lows and plot the count in a histogram. Users can select the Pivot Left/Right length from the settings.
Users can extend the POC line to the left, to study how the values had been reacting to POC
Please note: Since the RSi values range from 0 to 100, the indicator is rounding off the values to absolute numbers. This can cause a situation where multiple POC are identified, to find the unique POC, you can increase the width of the histogram.
The Max/Min RSI settings are for visual purposes only, it can help users shrink down the histogram's top and bottom visibility
Volume Spikes & Growing Volume Signals With Alerts & ScannerVOLUME SPIKES & GROWING VOLUME SIGNALS WITH ALERTS & SCANNER
This indicator shows arrows when there is a volume spike. It also paints the background when volume is growing. There is also a volume scanner for 8 tickers that will change color in real time when your other favorite tickers see volume growth and spikes.
You can customize the length of DMI, the number of bars to calculate the current volume average from, the number of bars back to get the overall volume average from, the multiple that needs to be hit to give a signal, the position of the scanner table and which tickers are used in the scanner. There are detailed directions as tooltips in the indicator settings you can read to understand exactly what each input does.
All features are customizable as well as which tickers the screener uses.
***HOW TO USE***
Watch for volume to pick up before placing trades as this will help you stay out of the markets when price is choppy. Volume usually brings volatility so watch for the volume signals to show up on the chart. Typically when price has made a big move one direction or is consolidating and you see the volume indicator start giving signals, the market is ready to reverse or continue its current trend but move faster in that direction.
Volume Spikes
When there is a volume spike that is larger than the average of volume over the last 100+ bars(depending on your settings) multiplied by the volume amount multiplier(in your settings) then an arrow will show up on the chart. This arrow will be green if DMI is bullish and red if DMI is bearish.
Volume Growth
A Background color will appear when the average volume over the last 5 bars(depending on your settings) is higher than the average volume over the last 100+ bars(depending on your settings) and is greater than your multiple. It will also paint the background when the volume moving average has increased over the last 3 bars consecutively. The background colors will be red or green depending on buy & sell pressure(DMI). If the background color appears, then you know volume is growing and volatility is near.
Volume Scanner
The scanner can be customized to have all of your favorite tickers by changing the tickers used in the indicator settings at the bottom. When no volume growth or spikes are detected, the ticker will show as light blue. When volume spikes or growth is detected, the ticker will turn orange to notify you.
Alerts
You can set up alerts as well when there is volume growth, bullish volume spikes and bearish volume spikes on any chart or timeframe.
Indicator Settings
Settings will need to be adjusted across different tickers as some have large swings in volume and some stay pretty even, so make sure to set up different chart layouts with settings that work for each ticker and save them individually so you don’t have to reset these values every time you switch charts.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex as long as Tradingview has volume and DMI data for that ticker.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This volume spike indicator can be used on all timeframes as long as there is enough data for Tradingview to use for calculations.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Volume Profile, Momentum, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this Volume Growth indicator. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
Market Profile with TPOThis is is Market Profile with TPO (the letters) on the current session. Due to pinescript limitations, we are limited to 500 TPOs, since this script uses 1 label per TPO. It is NOT volume profile, this is Time Profile (Time spent at a price).
Cumulative Overlapping Volume BarsThis is cheap replacement for volume profile.
Red bars is where accumulated high volume in small range.
if new bar moves out of range all accumulated volume will be lost and color will change.
Delta Volume Columns [LucF]Displays delta volume columns using intrabar volume information. Each volume column is divided into three sections: buying, selling and neutral volume. Volume for each section is determined from the volume and price movement of each intrabar at a user-selected lower resolution.
Features include:
- Choice of color themes for either dark or light chart backgrounds
- Delta volume columns
- Volume Balance displayed as the difference between the MAs of buying and selling volume
- Display of divergences between a bar’s volume balance and the bar’s price movement (example: buying volume > selling volume but close < open). Divergences can be shown in 2 different color schemes (including green/red showing a tentative direction), on volume columns and/or on chart bars
- Display of bar by bar volume balance with highlighting of above average volume
- Display of the usual total volume MA
- Choice of the lower resolution used to retrieve intrabar information
- Alerts configurable on any combination of the markers, with control over long/short direction
- Choice of 3 different markers:
1. Double bumps: two consecutive bars where buying or selling volume is in the same direction and where volume > volume MA
2. Divergence confirmations: direction of the price bar following a price/volume balance divergence
3. Volume balance shifts: zero level crossings of the volume balance MA delta
The chart shows the two main modes of display:
- Top pane : shows the stacked volume columns with divergences in orange and the flattened volume balance MAs delta at the bottom of the volume columns. This volume balance is the same shown in the bottom pane. The top pane also shows the instant volume balance strip above the volume columns. The strip’s colors show which of the buying or selling volume was greater, and colors are brighter if the total volume was above the total volume MA.
- Bottom pane : shows the volume balance MAs delta with markers 1 and 2. Given that this graphic has no price momentum component, I find quite eerie how it often looks like a momentum-based signal.
The default 5 minute intrabar resolution is used in combination with the weekly chart, which is excessive.
This script uses a special characteristic of the security() function’s behavior when it is sent to a resolution lower than the chart’s resolution. Details are given in the script’s comments. This method has the advantage of working under more circumstances than some of the other loop-based methods, but it also has its limits.
IMPORTANT
This is what you need to know:
- The method used does not work on the realtime bar—only on historical bars. Consequently, the volume column shown on the realtime bar is a normal volume column plotted in green or red, following price movement. The column will only show delta volume information after it closes and becomes a historical bar.
- The indicator only works on some chart resolutions: 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions, but chart resolutions must be divisible by the lower resolution used for intrabars.
- Intrabar resolutions can be selected from 1, 5, 15, 30, 45 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month. The intrabar resolution must of course be smaller than the chart’s resolution.
- Contrary to my other indicators where alerts must be configured to trigger “Once Per Bar Close” in order to avoid false triggers (or repainting), all this indicator’s alerts are designed to trigger using previous bar information since the indicator’s calculations in the realtime bar are not exact. Markers are not plotted with a negative offset; they appear at the beginning of the realtime bar following confirmation of the marker’s condition on the previous bar. Alerts for this indicator should thus be configured to trigger “Once Per Bar” so they trigger at the beginning of the realtime bar. Note that the penalty is not that great, as it is simply the instant between the close of the previous realtime bar and the opening of the next. The advantage of using this technique is that the indicator does not repaint; a marker that appears at the beginning of the realtime bar will never disappear.
- The script only plots information that is reliable in the realtime bar, i.e., total volume and markers. All other plots are set to n/a to prevent misleading traders.
- When the difference between the chart’s resolution and the lower resolution is too important, volume columns will not calculate for all bars in the dataset.
On Delta Volume
Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by 2 different traders. There is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume, but trader lingo is riddled with original fabulations.
Without access to order book information, traders work with the assumption that when price moves up during a bar, there was more buying pressure than selling pressure. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s numbers are more precise because it analyses a number of intrabars to calculate its information, it uses the exact same imperfect logic to calculate its buying/selling/neutral sections.
Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our so-called buying/selling volume information will always be a mere proxy.
Divergences
You may wonder how there can be divergences between buying/selling volume information and price movement. This will sometimes be due to the methodology’s shortcomings we have just discussed, but divergences may also occur in instances where because of order book structure, it takes less volume to increase the price of an asset than it takes to decrease it.
As usual, divergences are points of interest because they reveal imbalances, which may or may not become turning points. I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm traders have for divergences. To your pattern-hungry brain, the orange bars this indicator shows on chart will—as divergences on other indicators do–appear to often indicate turnarounds. My opinion is that reality is generally quite sobering, as many who have tried building automated rules based on divergences will tell you. I do not have hard numbers on the lack of performance of divergences—only many failed attempts to make them perform, which a few experienced strategy modelers I know share with me. Please don’t try to read too much into them. While they look great on past data, I find they are often difficult to use in realtime to make bets with good odds.

Ultra Strong Key Levels Ultra Strong Key Levels (Volume-Highlighted, Scalable)
This indicator automatically detects very strong support and resistance levels using high-strength pivots combined with clustered volume analysis.
It highlights only the most meaningful levels — those backed by significant volume activity — and visually scales each level based on its importance.
How It Works
Identifies strong pivot highs and lows using a customizable pivot strength.
Calculates clustered volume around each pivot to determine how important that level is.
Filters out weak levels by requiring volume around the pivot to exceed a dynamic threshold.
Draws each valid level with:
Adaptive line width (higher volume = thicker line)
Dynamic color intensity (higher volume = brighter line)
Keeps the chart clean by storing only the 10 most recent strong highs and lows.
Inputs
Pivot Strength — Defines how strong a pivot must be to qualify. Larger values = fewer but more reliable levels.
Volume Multiplier — Adjusts sensitivity to volume around the pivot.
Volume Window — Number of bars before and after the pivot used to calculate cluster volume.
Max Line Width — Upper limit for level thickness.
What This Indicator Shows
Red levels = Strong resistance zones (pivot highs with heavy volume)
Green levels = Strong support zones (pivot lows with heavy volume)
Thicker and more intense lines represent higher trading activity, meaning the level is more likely to impact price behavior.
Use Cases
Spot high-value reversal zones
Identify institutional reaction levels
Confirm key breakout/ breakdown points
Combine with trend tools or volume profile for enhanced precision

VWAP + Volume Spikes See Where Smart Money ExhaustsVolume tells the truth. VWAP tells the bias. This script shows both — live.
If you trade intraday momentum, reversals, or liquidity sweeps, this indicator is built for you.
It shows where volume spikes hit extreme levels, anchored around VWAP and its dynamic bands, so you can instantly spot capitulation or hidden absorption.
🎯 What This Indicator Does
✅ Plots VWAP — session-anchored, updates automatically
✅ Adds dynamic VWAP bands — standard deviation envelopes showing volatility context
✅ Highlights volume spikes — colored candles + background for abnormal prints
✅ Includes alerts — “Volume Spike”, “VWAP Cross”, or a combined alert with direction
✅ Clean visual design — instantly readable in fast markets
It’s your visual orderflow radar — whether you’re trading gold, indices, or small caps.
🔍 Why It Works
Institutions build and unwind positions around VWAP.
Retail often chases volume… this script shows you when that volume becomes too extreme.
A spike above VWAP near resistance? → Likely distribution.
A spike below VWAP near support? → Likely capitulation.
Combine volume exhaustion + VWAP context, and you’ll see market turning points form before most indicators react.
⚙️ Inputs You Can Tune
Bands lookback: adjusts how reactive the VWAP bands are
Band width (σ): set how tight or wide your deviation envelope is
Volume baseline length: controls how “abnormal” a spike must be
Spike threshold: multiplier vs. average volume
Toggle color-coding, bands, and labels
Default settings work well across 1m–15m intraday charts and 1h–4h swing frames.
💡 How Traders Use It
1️⃣ Fade Parabolics:
When a green spike candle pierces upper VWAP band on high volume → smart money unloading.
Look for rejection and short into VWAP.
2️⃣ Catch Capitulations:
When a red spike candle dumps below lower VWAP band → panic selling.
Watch for stabilization and long back to VWAP.
3️⃣ VWAP Rotation Plays:
Alerts for price crossing VWAP help you spot shift in intraday control.
Above VWAP = buyers in charge.
Below VWAP = sellers in charge.
🧠 Best Practices
Pair it with Volume Profile or Delta/Flow tools to confirm exhaustion.
Don’t chase — wait for spike confirmation + reversal candle.
Use it on liquid tickers (NASDAQ, SPY, GOLD, BTC, etc.).
Great for Dux-style small-cap shorts or index pullbacks.
🔔 Alerts Ready
Choose from:
Volume Spike (single-bar explosion)
VWAP Cross Up/Down (trend shift confirmation)
One Combined Alert (any signal, includes ticker, price, and volume)
Set once — get real-time push notifications, Telegram, or webhook signals.
📊 My Favorite Setups
US100 / NASDAQ: fade rallies above VWAP + spike
Gold / Silver: trade reversals from VWAP bands
Small caps: short back-side after volume climax
ES, DAX, Oil: scalp VWAP rotation with confluence

Algorithm Predator - ML-liteAlgorithm Predator - ML-lite
This indicator combines four specialized trading agents with an adaptive multi-armed bandit selection system to identify high-probability trade setups. It is designed for swing and intraday traders who want systematic signal generation based on institutional order flow patterns , momentum exhaustion , liquidity dynamics , and statistical mean reversion .
Core Architecture
Why These Components Are Combined:
The script addresses a fundamental challenge in algorithmic trading: no single detection method works consistently across all market conditions. By deploying four independent agents and using reinforcement learning algorithms to select or blend their outputs, the system adapts to changing market regimes without manual intervention.
The Four Trading Agents
1. Spoofing Detector Agent 🎭
Detects iceberg orders through persistent volume at similar price levels over 5 bars
Identifies spoofing patterns via asymmetric wick analysis (wicks exceeding 60% of bar range with volume >1.8× average)
Monitors order clustering using simplified Hawkes process intensity tracking (exponential decay model)
Signal Logic: Contrarian—fades false breakouts caused by institutional manipulation
Best Markets: Consolidations, institutional trading windows, low-liquidity hours
2. Exhaustion Detector Agent ⚡
Calculates RSI divergence between price movement and momentum indicator over 5-bar window
Detects VWAP exhaustion (price at 2σ bands with declining volume)
Uses VPIN reversals (volume-based toxic flow dissipation) to identify momentum failure
Signal Logic: Counter-trend—enters when momentum extreme shows weakness
Best Markets: Trending markets reaching climax points, over-extended moves
3. Liquidity Void Detector Agent 💧
Measures Bollinger Band squeeze (width <60% of 50-period average)
Identifies stop hunts via 20-bar high/low penetration with immediate reversal and volume spike
Detects hidden liquidity absorption (volume >2× average with range <0.3× ATR)
Signal Logic: Breakout anticipation—enters after liquidity grab but before main move
Best Markets: Range-bound pre-breakout, volatility compression zones
4. Mean Reversion Agent 📊
Calculates price z-scores relative to 50-period SMA and standard deviation (triggers at ±2σ)
Implements Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process scoring (mean-reverting stochastic model)
Uses entropy analysis to detect algorithmic trading patterns (low entropy <0.25 = high predictability)
Signal Logic: Statistical reversion—enters when price deviates significantly from statistical equilibrium
Best Markets: Range-bound, low-volatility, algorithmically-dominated instruments
Adaptive Selection: Multi-Armed Bandit System
The script implements four reinforcement learning algorithms to dynamically select or blend agents based on performance:
Thompson Sampling (Default - Recommended):
Uses Bayesian inference with beta distributions (tracks alpha/beta parameters per agent)
Balances exploration (trying underused agents) vs. exploitation (using proven winners)
Each agent's win/loss history informs its selection probability
Lite Approximation: Uses pseudo-random sampling from price/volume noise instead of true random number generation
UCB1 (Upper Confidence Bound):
Calculates confidence intervals using: average_reward + sqrt(2 × ln(total_pulls) / agent_pulls)
Deterministic algorithm favoring agents with high uncertainty (potential upside)
More conservative than Thompson Sampling
Epsilon-Greedy:
Exploits best-performing agent (1-ε)% of the time
Explores randomly ε% of the time (default 10%, configurable 1-50%)
Simple, transparent, easily tuned via epsilon parameter
Gradient Bandit:
Uses softmax probability distribution over agent preference weights
Updates weights via gradient ascent based on rewards
Best for Blend mode where all agents contribute
Selection Modes:
Switch Mode: Uses only the selected agent's signal (clean, decisive)
Blend Mode: Combines all agents using exponentially weighted confidence scores controlled by temperature parameter (smooth, diversified)
Lock Agent Feature:
Optional manual override to force one specific agent
Useful after identifying which agent dominates your specific instrument
Only applies in Switch mode
Four choices: Spoofing Detector, Exhaustion Detector, Liquidity Void, Mean Reversion
Memory System
Dual-Layer Architecture:
Short-Term Memory: Stores last 20 trade outcomes per agent (configurable 10-50)
Long-Term Memory: Stores episode averages when short-term reaches transfer threshold (configurable 5-20 bars)
Memory Boost Mechanism: Recent performance modulates agent scores by up to ±20%
Episode Transfer: When an agent accumulates sufficient results, averages are condensed into long-term storage
Persistence: Manual restoration of learned parameters via input fields (alpha, beta, weights, microstructure thresholds)
How Memory Works:
Agent generates signal → outcome tracked after 8 bars (performance horizon)
Result stored in short-term memory (win = 1.0, loss = 0.0)
Short-term average influences agent's future scores (positive feedback loop)
After threshold met (default 10 results), episode averaged into long-term storage
Long-term patterns (weighted 30%) + short-term patterns (weighted 70%) = total memory boost
Market Microstructure Analysis
These advanced metrics quantify institutional order flow dynamics:
Order Flow Toxicity (Simplified VPIN):
Measures buy/sell volume imbalance over 20 bars: |buy_vol - sell_vol| / (buy_vol + sell_vol)
Detects informed trading activity (institutional players with non-public information)
Values >0.4 indicate "toxic flow" (informed traders active)
Lite Approximation: Uses simple open/close heuristic instead of tick-by-tick trade classification
Price Impact Analysis (Simplified Kyle's Lambda):
Measures market impact efficiency: |price_change_10| / sqrt(volume_sum_10)
Low values = large orders with minimal price impact ( stealth accumulation )
High values = retail-dominated moves with high slippage
Lite Approximation: Uses simplified denominator instead of regression-based signed order flow
Market Randomness (Entropy Analysis):
Counts unique price changes over 20 bars / 20
Measures market predictability
High entropy (>0.6) = human-driven, chaotic price action
Low entropy (<0.25) = algorithmic trading dominance (predictable patterns)
Lite Approximation: Simple ratio instead of true Shannon entropy H(X) = -Σ p(x)·log₂(p(x))
Order Clustering (Simplified Hawkes Process):
Tracks self-exciting event intensity (coordinated order activity)
Decays at 0.9× per bar, spikes +1.0 when volume >1.5× average
High intensity (>0.7) indicates clustering (potential spoofing/accumulation)
Lite Approximation: Simple exponential decay instead of full λ(t) = μ + Σ α·exp(-β(t-tᵢ)) with MLE
Signal Generation Process
Multi-Stage Validation:
Stage 1: Agent Scoring
Each agent calculates internal score based on its detection criteria
Scores must exceed agent-specific threshold (adjusted by sensitivity multiplier)
Agent outputs: Signal direction (+1/-1/0) and Confidence level (0.0-1.0)
Stage 2: Memory Boost
Agent scores multiplied by memory boost factor (0.8-1.2 based on recent performance)
Successful agents get amplified, failing agents get dampened
Stage 3: Bandit Selection/Blending
If Adaptive Mode ON:
Switch: Bandit selects single best agent, uses only its signal
Blend: All agents combined using softmax-weighted confidence scores
If Adaptive Mode OFF:
Traditional consensus voting with confidence-squared weighting
Signal fires when consensus exceeds threshold (default 70%)
Stage 4: Confirmation Filter
Raw signal must repeat for consecutive bars (default 3, configurable 2-4)
Minimum confidence threshold: 0.25 (25%) enforced regardless of mode
Trend alignment check: Long signals require trend_score ≥ -2, Short signals require trend_score ≤ 2
Stage 5: Cooldown Enforcement
Minimum bars between signals (default 10, configurable 5-15)
Prevents over-trading during choppy conditions
Stage 6: Performance Tracking
After 8 bars (performance horizon), signal outcome evaluated
Win = price moved in signal direction, Loss = price moved against
Results fed back into memory and bandit statistics

What Makes This Original
This script's originality lies in three key innovations:
1. Genuine Meta-Learning Framework:
Unlike traditional indicator mashups that simply display multiple signals, this implements authentic reinforcement learning (multi-armed bandits) to learn which detection method works best in current conditions. The Thompson Sampling implementation with beta distribution tracking (alpha for successes, beta for failures) is statistically rigorous and adapts continuously. This is not post-hoc optimization—it's real-time learning.
2. Episodic Memory Architecture with Transfer Learning:
The dual-layer memory system mimics human learning patterns:
Short-term memory captures recent performance (recency bias)
Long-term memory preserves historical patterns (experience)
Automatic transfer mechanism consolidates knowledge
Memory boost creates positive feedback loops (successful strategies become stronger)
This architecture allows the system to adapt without retraining , unlike static ML models that require batch updates.
3. Institutional Microstructure Integration:
Combines retail-focused technical analysis (RSI, Bollinger Bands, VWAP) with institutional-grade microstructure metrics (VPIN, Kyle's Lambda, Hawkes processes) typically found in academic finance literature and professional trading systems, not standard retail platforms. While simplified for Pine Script constraints, these metrics provide insight into informed vs. uninformed trading , a dimension entirely absent from traditional technical analysis.
Mashup Justification:
The four agents are combined specifically for risk diversification across failure modes:
Spoofing Detector: Prevents false breakout losses from manipulation
Exhaustion Detector: Prevents chasing extended trends into reversals
Liquidity Void: Exploits volatility compression (different regime than trending)
Mean Reversion: Provides mathematical anchoring when patterns fail
The bandit system ensures the optimal tool is automatically selected for each market situation, rather than requiring manual interpretation of conflicting signals.
Why "ML-lite"? Simplifications and Approximations
This is the "lite" version due to necessary simplifications for Pine Script execution:
1. Simplified VPIN Calculation:
Academic Implementation: True VPIN uses volume bucketing (fixed-volume bars) and tick-by-tick buy/sell classification via Lee-Ready algorithm or exchange-provided trade direction flags
This Implementation: 20-bar rolling window with simple open/close heuristic (close > open = buy volume)
Impact: May misclassify volume during ranging/choppy markets; works best in directional moves
2. Pseudo-Random Sampling:
Academic Implementation: Thompson Sampling requires true random number generation from beta distributions using inverse transform sampling or acceptance-rejection methods
This Implementation: Deterministic pseudo-randomness derived from price and volume decimal digits: (close × 100 - floor(close × 100)) + (volume % 100) / 100
Impact: Not cryptographically random; may have subtle biases in specific price ranges; provides sufficient variation for agent selection
3. Hawkes Process Approximation:
Academic Implementation: Full Hawkes process uses maximum likelihood estimation with exponential kernels: λ(t) = μ + Σ α·exp(-β(t-tᵢ)) fitted via iterative optimization
This Implementation: Simple exponential decay (0.9 multiplier) with binary event triggers (volume spike = event)
Impact: Captures self-exciting property but lacks parameter optimization; fixed decay rate may not suit all instruments
4. Kyle's Lambda Simplification:
Academic Implementation: Estimated via regression of price impact on signed order flow over multiple time intervals: Δp = λ × Δv + ε
This Implementation: Simplified ratio: price_change / sqrt(volume_sum) without proper signed order flow or regression
Impact: Provides directional indicator of impact but not true market depth measurement; no statistical confidence intervals
5. Entropy Calculation:
Academic Implementation: True Shannon entropy requires probability distribution: H(X) = -Σ p(x)·log₂(p(x)) where p(x) is probability of each price change magnitude
This Implementation: Simple ratio of unique price changes to total observations (variety measure)
Impact: Measures diversity but not true information entropy with probability weighting; less sensitive to distribution shape
6. Memory System Constraints:
Full ML Implementation: Neural networks with backpropagation, experience replay buffers (storing state-action-reward tuples), gradient descent optimization, and eligibility traces
This Implementation: Fixed-size array queues with simple averaging; no gradient-based learning, no state representation beyond raw scores
Impact: Cannot learn complex non-linear patterns; limited to linear performance tracking
7. Limited Feature Engineering:
Advanced Implementation: Dozens of engineered features, polynomial interactions (x², x³), dimensionality reduction (PCA, autoencoders), feature selection algorithms
This Implementation: Raw agent scores and basic market metrics (RSI, ATR, volume ratio); minimal transformation
Impact: May miss subtle cross-feature interactions; relies on agent-level intelligence rather than feature combinations
8. Single-Instrument Data:
Full Implementation: Multi-asset correlation analysis (sector ETFs, currency pairs, volatility indices like VIX), lead-lag relationships, risk-on/risk-off regimes
This Implementation: Only OHLCV data from displayed instrument
Impact: Cannot incorporate broader market context; vulnerable to correlated moves across assets
9. Fixed Performance Horizon:
Full Implementation: Adaptive horizon based on trade duration, volatility regime, or profit target achievement
This Implementation: Fixed 8-bar evaluation window
Impact: May evaluate too early in slow markets or too late in fast markets; one-size-fits-all approach
Performance Impact Summary:
These simplifications make the script:
✅ Faster: Executes in milliseconds vs. seconds (or minutes) for full academic implementations
✅ More Accessible: Runs on any TradingView plan without external data feeds, APIs, or compute servers
✅ More Transparent: All calculations visible in Pine Script (no black-box compiled models)
✅ Lower Resource Usage: <500 bars lookback, minimal memory footprint
⚠️ Less Precise: Approximations may reduce statistical edge by 5-15% vs. academic implementations
⚠️ Limited Scope: Cannot capture tick-level dynamics, multi-order-book interactions, or cross-asset flows
⚠️ Fixed Parameters: Some thresholds hardcoded rather than dynamically optimized
When to Upgrade to Full Implementation:
Consider professional Python/C++ versions with institutional data feeds if:
Trading with >$100K capital where precision differences materially impact returns
Operating in microsecond-competitive environments (HFT, market making)
Requiring regulatory-grade audit trails and reproducibility
Backtesting with tick-level precision for strategy validation
Need true real-time adaptation with neural network-based learning
For retail swing/day trading and position management, these approximations provide sufficient signal quality while maintaining usability, transparency, and accessibility. The core logic—multi-agent detection with adaptive selection—remains intact.
Technical Notes
All calculations use standard Pine Script built-in functions ( ta.ema, ta.atr, ta.rsi, ta.bb, ta.sma, ta.stdev, ta.vwap )
VPIN and Kyle's Lambda use simplified formulas optimized for OHLCV data (see "Lite" section above)
Thompson Sampling uses pseudo-random noise from price/volume decimal digits for beta distribution sampling
No repainting: All calculations use confirmed bar data (no forward-looking)
Maximum lookback: 500 bars (set via max_bars_back parameter)
Performance evaluation: 8-bar forward-looking window for reward calculation (clearly disclosed)
Confidence threshold: Minimum 0.25 (25%) enforced on all signals
Memory arrays: Dynamic sizing with FIFO queue management
Limitations and Disclaimers
Not Predictive: This indicator identifies patterns in historical data. It cannot predict future price movements with certainty.
Requires Human Judgment: Signals are entry triggers, not complete trading strategies. Must be confirmed with your own analysis, risk management rules, and market context.
Learning Period Required: The adaptive system requires 50-100 bars minimum to build statistically meaningful performance data for bandit algorithms.
Overfitting Risk: Restoring memory parameters from one market regime to a drastically different regime (e.g., low volatility to high volatility) may cause poor initial performance until system re-adapts.
Approximation Limitations: Simplified calculations (see "Lite" section) may underperform academic implementations by 5-15% in highly efficient markets.
No Guarantee of Profit: Past performance, whether backtested or live-traded, does not guarantee future performance. All trading involves risk of loss.
Forward-Looking Bias: Performance evaluation uses 8-bar forward window—this creates slight look-ahead for learning (though not for signals). Real-time performance may differ from indicator's internal statistics.
Single-Instrument Limitation: Does not account for correlations with related assets or broader market regime changes.
Recommended Settings
Timeframe: 15-minute to 4-hour charts (sufficient volatility for ATR-based stops; adequate bar volume for learning)
Assets: Liquid instruments with >100k daily volume (forex majors, large-cap stocks, BTC/ETH, major indices)
Not Recommended: Illiquid small-caps, penny stocks, low-volume altcoins (microstructure metrics unreliable)
Complementary Tools: Volume profile, order book depth, market breadth indicators, fundamental catalysts
Position Sizing: Risk no more than 1-2% of capital per signal using ATR-based stop-loss
Signal Filtering: Consider external confluence (support/resistance, trendlines, round numbers, session opens)
Start With: Balanced mode, Thompson Sampling, Blend mode, default agent sensitivities (1.0)
After 30+ Signals: Review agent win rates, consider increasing sensitivity of top performers or locking to dominant agent
Alert Configuration
The script includes built-in alert conditions:
Long Signal: Fires when validated long entry confirmed
Short Signal: Fires when validated short entry confirmed
Alerts fire once per bar (after confirmation requirements met)
Set alert to "Once Per Bar Close" for reliability

Advanced Tips
Scalping Psychology
Be patient: Wait for Score 5+ setups
Be decisive: When signal appears, act immediately
Be disciplined: Follow your stop loss always
Be flexible: Exit quickly if dashboard reverses
Optimization
Backtest on your specific instrument
Adjust RSI/Stoch levels for your market
Fine-tune volume thresholds
Keep a trade journal to track which setups work best
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
Use 5-min dashboard as "trend filter"
Take 1-min trades only in direction of 5-min SCALP signal
Increases win rate by ~10-15%
Troubleshooting
Q: Dashboard shows WAIT most of the time
Normal - scalping is about patience. Quality > Quantity
3-8 good setups per day is excellent
Q: Too many false signals
Increase minimum Score requirement to 5 or 6
Only trade with volume surge (yellow backgrounds)
Add large order detection confirmation
Q: Signals too slow
You may be on too high a timeframe
Try 1-minute chart for faster signals
Ensure real-time data feed is active
Q: Support/Resistance not updating
Normal - updates every 3 bars
If completely stuck, remove and re-add indicator
Summary
This scalping system works best when:
✅ Multiple indicators align (Score 5+)
✅ Volume and tape speed confirm the move
✅ Order flow (diamonds) confirms direction
✅ Price is at key levels (support/resistance)
✅ You manage risk strictly
✅ You exit before market close
The golden rule: When SCALP says WAIT, you WAIT. Discipline beats frequency.
Quantura - Supply & Demand Zone DetectionIntroduction
“Quantura – Supply & Demand Zone Detection” is an advanced indicator designed to automatically detect and visualize institutional supply and demand zones, as well as breaker blocks, directly on the chart. The tool helps traders identify key areas of market imbalance and potential reversal or continuation zones, based on price structure, volume, and ATR dynamics.
Originality & Value
This indicator provides a unique and adaptive method of zone detection that goes beyond simple pivot or candle-based logic. It merges multiple layers of confirmation—volume sensitivity, ATR filters, and swing structure—while dynamically tracking how zones evolve as the market progresses. Unlike traditional supply and demand indicators, this script also detects and plots Breaker Zones when previous imbalances are violated, giving traders an extra layer of market context.
The key values of this tool include:
Automated detection of high-probability supply and demand zones.
Integration of both volume and ATR filters for precision and adaptability.
Dynamic zone merging and updating based on price evolution.
Identification of breaker blocks (invalidated zones) to visualize market structure shifts.
Optional bullish and bearish trade signals when zones are retested.
Clear, visually optimized plotting for efficient chart interpretation.
Functionality & Core Logic
The indicator continuously scans recent price data for swing highs/lows and combines them with optional volume and ATR conditions to validate potential zones.
Demand Zones are formed when price action indicates accumulation or a strong bullish rejection from a low area.
Supply Zones are created when distribution or strong bearish rejection occurs near local highs.
Breaker Blocks appear when existing zones are invalidated by price, helping traders visualize potential market structure shifts.
Bullish and bearish signals appear when price re-enters an active zone or breaks through a breaker block.
Parameters & Customization
Demand Zones / Supply Zones: Enable or disable each individually.
Breaker Zones: Activate breaker block detection for invalidated zones.
Volume Filter: Optional filter to only confirm zones when volume exceeds its long-term average by a user-defined multiplier.
ATR Filter: Optional filter for volatility confirmation, ensuring zones form under strong momentum conditions.
Swing Length: Controls the number of bars used to detect structural pivots.
Sensitivity Controls: Adjustable ATR and volume multipliers to fine-tune detection responsiveness.
Signals: Toggle for on-chart bullish (▲) and bearish (▼) signal plotting when price interacts with zones.
Color Customization: User-defined bullish and bearish colors for both standard and breaker zones.
Core Calculations
Zones are detected using pivot highs and lows with a defined lookback and lookahead period.
Additional filters apply if ATR and volume are enabled, requiring conditions like “ATR > average * multiplier” and “Volume > average * multiplier.”
Detected zones are merged if overlapping, keeping the chart clean and logical.
When price breaks through a zone, the original box is closed, and a new breaker zone is plotted automatically.
Bullish and bearish markers appear when zones are retested from the opposite side.
Visualization & Display
Demand zones are shaded in semi-transparent bullish color (default: blue).
Supply zones are shaded in semi-transparent bearish color (default: red).
Breaker zones appear when previous imbalances are broken, helping to spot structural shifts.
Optional arrows (▲ / ▼) indicate potential buy or sell reactions on zone interaction.
Use Cases
Identify institutional areas of accumulation (demand) or distribution (supply).
Detect potential breakout traps and market structure shifts using breaker zones.
Combine with other tools such as volume profile, EMA, or liquidity indicators for deeper confirmation.
Observe retests and reactions of zones to anticipate possible reversals or continuations.
Apply multi-timeframe analysis to align higher timeframe zones with lower timeframe entries.
Limitations & Recommendations
The indicator does not predict future price movement; it highlights structural imbalances only.
Performance depends on chosen swing length and sensitivity—users should optimize parameters for each market.
Works best in volatile markets where supply and demand imbalances are clearly expressed.
Should be used as part of a broader trading framework, not as a standalone signal generator.
Markets & Timeframes
The “Quantura – Supply & Demand Zone Detection” indicator is suitable for all asset classes including cryptocurrencies, Forex, indices, commodities, and equities. It performs reliably across multiple timeframes, from intraday scalping to higher timeframe swing analysis.

Quantura - Average Intraday Candle VolumeIntroduction
“Quantura – Average Intraday Candle Volume” is a quantitative visualization tool that calculates and displays the average traded volume for each intraday time position based on a user-defined historical lookback period. It allows traders to analyze recurring intraday volume patterns, identify high-activity sessions, and detect liquidity shifts throughout the trading day.
Originality & Value
This indicator goes beyond standard volume averages by normalizing and aligning volume data according to the time of day. Instead of simply smoothing recent bars, it builds an intraday volume profile based on historical daily averages, enabling users to understand when during the day volume typically peaks or drops.
Its originality and usefulness come from:
Converting standard volume data into time-aligned intraday averages.
Visualization of historical intraday liquidity behavior, not just total daily volume.
Dynamic scaling using normalization and transparency to emphasize active and quiet periods.
Optional day-separator lines for precise intraday structure recognition.
Gradient-based coloring for better visual interpretation of volume intensity.
Functionality & Core Logic
The indicator divides each day into discrete intraday time positions (based on chart timeframe).
For each position, it stores and updates historical volume values across the selected number of days.
It calculates an average volume per time position by aggregating all stored values and dividing them by the number of valid days.
The result is plotted as a continuous histogram showing typical intraday volume distribution.
The bar colors and transparency dynamically reflect the relative intensity of volume at each point in the day.
Parameters & Customization
Number of Days for Averaging: Defines how many past days are included in the volume average calculation (default: 365).
UTC Offset: Allows synchronization of intraday cycles with local or exchange time zones.
Base Color: Sets the main color for plotted volume columns.
Color Mode: Choose between “Gradient” (transparency dynamically adjusts by intensity) or “Normal” (fixed opacity).
Day Line: Toggles dashed vertical lines marking the start of each trading day.
Visualization & Display
Volume is plotted as a series of histogram bars, each representing the average volume for a specific intraday time position.
A gradient color mode enhances readability by fading lower-intensity areas and highlighting high-volume regions.
Optional day-separator lines visually segment historical sessions for easy reference.
Works seamlessly across all chart timeframes that divide the 24-hour day into regular bar intervals.
Use Cases
Identify when trading activity typically peaks (e.g., session opens, news windows, or overlapping markets).
Compare current intraday volume to historical averages for early anomaly detection.
Enhance algorithmic or discretionary strategies that depend on volume-timing alignment.
Combine with volatility or price structure indicators to confirm market activity zones.
Evaluate session consistency across different time zones using the UTC offset parameter.
Limitations & Recommendations
The indicator requires intraday data (below 1D resolution) to function properly.
Volume behavior may vary across brokers and assets; adjust averaging period accordingly.
Does not predict price movement — it provides volume-based context for analysis.
Works best when combined with structure or momentum-based indicators.
Markets & Timeframes
Compatible with all intraday markets — including crypto, Forex, equities, and futures — and all intraday timeframes (from 1 minute to 4 hours). It is particularly valuable for analyzing assets with continuous 24-hour trading activity.

Short-Timeframe Volume Spike DetectorShort-Timeframe Volume Spike Detector
Description:
The Short-Timeframe Volume Spike Detector is an advanced multi-timeframe (MTF) indicator that automatically detects sudden volume surges and price expansion events on a lower timeframe and displays them on a higher (base) timeframe chart — helping traders identify hidden intraday accumulation or breakout pressure within broader candles.
⚙️ How It Works
Select a Base Timeframe (e.g., Daily, 4H, 1H).
The script automatically fetches data from a Lower Timeframe (e.g., Daily → 1H, 1H → 15m).
Within each base bar, it scans all the lower timeframe candles to find:
Volume Spikes: Volume exceeds average × multiplier or a custom threshold.
Price Strength: Candle shows upward movement beyond a minimum % change.
When both conditions are met, a spike signal is plotted on the higher timeframe chart.
🔍 Features
✅ Automatic Lower Timeframe Mapping — Dynamically selects the most relevant lower timeframe.
✅ Two Detection Modes:
Multiplier Mode: Volume spikes defined as multiple of average lower timeframe volume.
Manual Mode: Custom absolute volume threshold.
✅ Trend Filter Option: Show only signals during uptrends (configurable).
✅ Visual Markers:
Purple “X” = Volume Spike Detected
Dotted red & green lines = Candle range extension
✅ Custom Label Placement: Above High / Below Low / At Spike Price
✅ Debug Mode: Displays full diagnostic info including detected volume, threshold, and % change.
📊 Use Cases
Detect early accumulation in daily candles using hourly or 15-min data.
Identify institutional buying interest before visible breakouts.
Confirm strong continuation patterns after price compression.
Spot hidden intraday activity on swing or positional charts.
🧩 Inputs Overview
Input Description
Base Timeframe Main chart timeframe for analysis
Lookback Bars Number of recent candles to scan
Volume Mode “Multiplier” or “Manual Benchmark”
Volume Multiplier Multiplier applied to average lower timeframe volume

🧠 Tips
Ideal for swing traders and multi-timeframe analysts.
Works best when base = Daily and lower = Hourly or 15m.
Combine with Volume Profile, VWAP, or RRG-style analysis for stronger confluence.
Use Multiplier 1.5–2.5 to fine-tune for your asset’s volatility.
⚠️ Notes
Works only when applied to the base timeframe selected in inputs.
May not display signals on non-standard intraday timeframes (like 3H).
Labels limited to max_labels_count for performance stability.
3D Candles (Zeiierman)█ Overview
3D Candles (Zeiierman) is a unique 3D take on classic candlesticks, offering a fresh, high-clarity way to visualize price action directly on your chart. Visualizing price in alternative ways can help traders interpret the same data differently and potentially gain a new perspective.
█ How It Works
⚪ 3D Body Construction
For each bar, the script computes the candle body (open/close bounds), then projects a top face offset by a depth amount. The depth is proportional to that candle’s high–low range, so it looks consistent across symbols with different prices/precisions.
rng = math.max(1e-10, high - low ) // candle range
depthMag = rng * depthPct * factorMag // % of range, shaped by tilt amount
depth = depthMag * factorSign // direction from dev (up/down)
depthPct → how “thick” the 3D effect is, as a % of each candle’s own range.
factorMag → scales the effect based on your tilt input (dev), with a smooth curve so small tilts still show.
factorSign → applies the direction of the tilt (up or down).
⚪ Tilt & Perspective
Tilt is controlled by dev and translated into a gentle perspective factor:
slope = (4.0 * math.abs(dev)) / width
factorMag = math.pow(math.min(1.0, slope), 0.5) // sqrt softens response
factorSign = dev == 0 ? 0.0 : math.sign(dev) // direction (up/down)
Larger dev → stronger 3D presence (up to a cap).
The square-root curve makes small dev values noticeable without overdoing it.
█ How to Use
Traders can use 3D Candles just like regular candlesticks. The difference is the 3D visualization, which can broaden your view and help you notice price behavior from a fresh perspective.
⚪ Quick setup (dual-view):
Split your TradingView layout into two synchronized charts.
Right pane: keep your standard candlestick or bar chart for live execution.
Left pane: add 3D Candles (Zeiierman) to compare the same symbol/timeframe.
Observe differences: the 3D rendering can make expansion/contraction and body emphasis easier to spot at a glance.
█ Go Full 3D
Take the experience further by pairing 3D Candles (Zeiierman) with Volume Profile 3D (Zeiierman) , a perfect complement that shows where activity is concentrated, while your 3D candles show how the price unfolded.
█ Settings
Candles — How many 3D candles to draw. Higher values draw more shapes and may impact performance on slower machines.
Block Width (bars) — Visual thickness of each 3D candle along the x-axis. Larger values look chunkier but can overlap more.
Up/Down — Controls the tilt and strength of the 3D top face.
3D depth (% of range) — Thickness of the 3D effect as a percentage of each candle’s own high–low range. Larger values exaggerate the depth.

Wyckoff Effort vs. Result📌 Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) – Visualizing Supply & Demand Imbalance with Volume Confirmation
📖 Overview
The Wyckoff Effort vs. Result (E/R) indicator is designed to help traders interpret market behavior through the lens of volume vs. price movement — a foundational concept in Richard Wyckoff’s methodology.
This tool aims to highlight moments where the “effort” (volume) is not in proportion to the “result” (price movement) — giving insight into potential accumulation or distribution events.
By detecting high-volume candles and classifying them based on their price direction, the indicator visualizes zones where smart money might be active .
⚙️ How It Works
1. Effort Accumulation (High Volume Down Bar):
• When a candle closes lower than it opens (down bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential absorption of selling pressure (effort to push down met by buying).
• These candles are colored red and the open level is plotted, acting as a potential support or re-test zone.
2. Effort Distribution (High Volume Up Bar):
• When a candle closes higher than it opens (up bar) and has above-average volume , it’s marked as potential distribution (effort to push up absorbed by sellers).
• These candles are colored green and the open level is plotted , acting as a potential resistance or rejection zone.
3. Average Volume Calculation:
• The script calculates a simple moving average (SMA) of volume over a user-defined lookback period.
• If current volume exceeds the average multiplied by a set threshold, it’s treated as a high-effort bar .
🧪 Inputs
Input Description
Average Volume Lookback - Number of bars used to calculate the volume average
High Volume Multiplier. - Multiplier to define what qualifies as “high volume”
🖥️ Visual Output
• 🔴 Red candles = High volume on a down bar → possible accumulation
• 🟢 Green candles = High volume on an up bar → possible distribution
• 📉 Horizontal lines at bar open price mark the potential zones where effort occurred
These zones can serve as:
• Areas of support/resistance
• Trap zones where smart money absorbs liquidity
• Entry/exit filters when combined with price action
🧠 How to Use
• Use in combination with price structure, support/resistance, and volume profile tools
• Watch how price reacts when it revisits the plotted lines
• Look for effort bars that fail to lead to continuation, signaling potential reversal
• Can be used in scalping, swing trading, or Wyckoff-style phase analysis
🔒 Technical Notes
• ✅ Does not repaint
• ✅ Built with Pine Script v6
• ✅ Lightweight and customizable
• ❌ Does not generate buy/sell signals — it provides context, not predictions
