Simple Volume with Pocket Pivots

18 avr. 2022

This is a minimalistic indicator that, instead of introducing more bells & whistles, strips away the conventional volume indicator from a lot of “noise”, and displays only 3 type of volume bars prominently:

• Blue bars: Pocket Pivot Volumes (PPV), that is an up-day volume which is greater than the highest down-day volume of the last 10 down-days.
  
  
• Red bars: Down-day volumes that are greater than 50-period moving average of the volume.
  
  
• Green bars: Up-day volumes that are greater than 50-period moving average of the volume.
  
  

All other volumes are “noise” & need not be kept into any actionable consideration. All these bars are dark grey.

While initiating a long entry, we need to look out for only these 3 volume bars in this way:
RRV (recent red volumes) are indicative of unconsumed supply. Either the highs of those red days be taken out, or these RRVs be suceeded later by higher RGV (recent green volumes). Pocket Pivot Volumes (PPV) are the best indicator of institutional accumulation. Multiple PPVs in a consolidation base, & in a breakout candle are very bullish signals.

Please also note that moving average of the volume is also purposely hidden, as the dark grey bars themselves are indication of a below-average volume. Rather than looking at each bar & comparing it to the overlying moving average line, the color scheme itself is self-explanatory, & devoid of distractions.

Updates:

• Added orange color bars to depict very low “dry” volumes. By default, these are visible the volume has fallen to at least 1/5 from the 50-period moving average of the volume. You have the choice to alter this period to one of your choosing by changing the number used as "Low volume fraction”.
  Added Relative volume label in percent. If today's volume is twice as compared to the instrument’s average volume, then the relative volume label will show a "200%” value.
  The 50-period average volume is now visible on the price scale.
  Users can now change the colors of the various volume bars.
  Please also note that Pocket Pivot Volume (PPV) is an up-day volume which is greater than any down-day volume of the last 10 “trading” days (it was wrongly written as last 10 “down” days in the initial description).

- Bull Snort candles are now depicted by a purple background color & a dot (you can use both or one, or can turn them off if you don’t wish to use this). Bull Snort candles are a concept from Oliver Kell. For a bull snort, you need a candle with 3 times the volume of its 50 day average, along with the price closing in 35% of its highs, & above the previous close.
- Daily & fifty day turnover (in Crores) are now presented in a table along with the relative volume.
- The volume moving average length, as well the Relative volume length, can now be changed (from the default 50) to a number of your choice.

Now includes labels for Highest Volume (HV) edge (popularised by Rai) which is used to gauge institutional accumulation & highest probabilities of the stock turning into a big winner.:
⦿ Highest Volume Ever (HVE)
⦿ Highest Volume in Over a Year (HVY)
⦿ Highest Volume in a quarter (HVQ)

Includes options to display either the latest HVs, or all the HVs.
Includes options to display verbose data or just the HV.
Bull Snort volumes are shown as an up-arrow (customisable) on the bottom of the volume bar.
Cleaned up some redundant code.

Updated the code to not display the volume % where the volume moving average has not yet been populated. e.g. in IPO stocks

27 mars 2023

Updated the script to label the IPO day & its volume separately.
Made the HVE calculation accurate by including the IPO day volume too.

- Updated to display the highest volume labels only on daily & above timeframes
- Removed a portion of code that made the script load slower

Updated the script to calculate the highest volumes only for timeframes of daily or above.

6 avr. 2023

Notes de version

Changed the code for calculating the HVE (Highest Volume ever), as the study was not loading on some charts due to referencing too many candles. Now, as per the limitation of TradingView's lookback period, HVE is actually the highest volume in the past 10 years.
Changed the default to displaying only the latest Highest Volumes. Past values can be turned on by selecting the option for the same in the settings.

8 avr. 2023

Notes de version

Updated the code for calculating the HVE.

- Script is now working fine on very small timeframes (5minutes, 1 minute)
- Script labels now works fine on stocks with very long bar history
- HV labels work fine on stocks where the bar history is smaller than the lookback (e.g. Bharatwire)

Notes de version

Lowest volume in a quarter (LVQ) or in an year (LVY) is now indicated by an orange "Q" or "Y" label above the respective volume bars.

The table is updated with the following additions:
- Average dollar volume. This is the average volume multiplied by the average price of the stock. It be at least 50 times your desired quantity.
- Volume RR (run rate) or volume buzz is the percentage by which the latest volume is above or below its average volume.
- Up/Down volume ratio is the sum of the volume on up days divided by the sum of the volume on down days. U/D > 1 is bullish.
- There is now an option in the settings to display the Average dollar volume in millions (default is crores).

- Lowest volumes now also color the volume bars orange
- Latest lowest volumes are now only displayed when the bar state is confirmed
