Range Sentiment Profile [LuxAlgo]The Range Sentiment Profile indicator is inspired from the volume profile and aims to indicate the degree of bullish/bearish variations within equidistant price areas inside the most recent price range. The most bullish/bearish price areas are highlighted through lines extending over the entire range. 🔶 SETTINGS Length: Most recent bars used for the calculation of the indicator. Rows: Number of price areas the price range is divided into. Use Intrabar: Use intrabar data to compute the range sentiment profile. Timeframe: Intrabar data timeframe. 🔶 USAGE This tool can be used to easily determine if a certain price area contain more significant bullish or bearish price variations. This is done by obtaining an estimate of the accumulation of all the close to open variations occurring within a specific profile area. A blue range background indicates a majority of bullish variations within each area while an orange background indicates a majority of bearish variations within each area. Users can easily identify the areas with the most bullish/bearish price variations by looking at the bullish/bearish maximums. It can be of interest to see where profile bins might have no length, these can indicate price areas with price variations with alternating signs (bullish variations are followed by a bearish sign) and similar body. They can also indicate a majority of either bullish or bearish variations alongside a minority of more significant opposite variations. These areas can also provide support/resistance, as such price entering these areas could reverse. Users can obtain more precise results by allowing the profile to use intrabar data. This will change the calculation of the profile, see the details section for more information. 🔶 DETAILS The Range Sentiment Profile's design is similar to the way a volume profile is constructed. First the maximum/minimum values over the most recent Length bars are obtained, these define the calculation range of the profile. The range is divided into Rows equidistant areas. We then see if price lied within a specific area, if it's the case we accumulate the difference between the closing and opening price for that specific area. Let d = close - open . The length of the bin associated to a specific area is determined as follows: length = Width / 100 * Area / Max Where Area is the accumulated d within the area, and Max the maximum value between the absolute value of each accumulated d of all areas. The percentage visible on each bin is determined as 100 multiplied by the accumulated d within the area divided by the total absolute value of d over the entire range. 🔹 Intrabar Calculation When using intrabar data the range sentiment profile is calculated differently. For a specific area and candle within the interval, the accumulated close to open difference is accumulated only if the intrabar candle of the user selected timeframe lies within the area. This can return more precise results compared to the standard method, at the cost of a higher computation time.

Volume Footprint Voids [BigBeluga]Volume Footprint Voids is a unique tool that uses lower timeframe calculation to plot different styles of single candle POC. This indicator is very powerful for scalping and finding very precise entry and exits, spotting potential trapped traders, and more. Unlike many other volume profiles, this aims to plot single candle profiles as well as their own footprints. 🔶 FEATURES The script includes the following settings: Windows: Plotting style and calculations Coloring modes Display modes lower-timeframe calculations 🔶 CALCULATION In the image above we can see how the script calculates each level position that will serve as a calculation process to see how much volume/closes there are within the levels. In the image above, we can have a more clear example of how we count each candle close. We use the prior screenshot as an example, after setting each level we will use the lower-timeframe input to measure the amount of closes within the ranges. Depending on the lot size, the box will be larger or smaller, usually the POC will always have the highest box size. NOTE: Size is the starting point, always from the low of the candle. To find more voids, select a closer LTF to the current one you're using. To find fewer voids, select a timeframe away from your current one. Due to Pine Script limitations, we are only able to plot a certain amount of footprints, and we can't plot the whole history chart. POC will be the largest block displayed, indicating the time point of control Gray areas are closes above the average Black are Void or imbalance that price will fill in the future, like FVG The image above shows an incorrect size input that will lead to bad calculations, while on the other side, a correct size input that will lead to a clear vision and better calculation. 🔶 WINDOWS The "▲▼" Mode will display delta buyers and delta sellers coloring with voids as black. It also offers a gradient mode for a beautier visualization The "Total Volume" mode will display the net volume within the lot size (closes within the levels). This is useful to spot possible highest net volume within the same highest lot size. The "POC + Gaps" will show both POC and Gaps as the highest block while all the rest will be considered as the smaller block. This is useful to see where the highest lot were and if there are higher or lower imbalances within the candle The last option "Gaps" will simply display the gaps as the highest block, while the POC as the lowest block. This is useful to have a better view of the gaps areas 🔶 EXAMPLE This is one of the most basic examples of how this script can be used. POC at the bottom creating a strong support area as price holds and creates higher voids gap that price fills while rising. 🔶 SETTINGS Users have full control over the script, from colors to choosing the lower-timeframe inputs to disabling the lot size.

Market Profile Visible RangeSup TV, 2 important points . 1) surprisingly, it's the first MP Visible Range script on TV; 2) This one doesn't use any bagging/binning*, instead each row represents the time spent on the actual minimal price steps (aka ticks). The script will be further extended with usual market profile related functionally in future updates. At this point we have: - Profile itself (each row represents how many bars touch the given price); - Mode of the profile (called POC)**; * Still it will be introduced in future when I will find / design the proper aggregating technique. It is vital for processing very wide price ranges (for example, 500 days on ES futures). ** The script correctly calculates POC by finding all the modes in the data & choosing the closest one to data's midrange. For this kind of technical instrument finally it was more convenient to use Pine Script 5 (btw it's my first Pine 5). Basically this script is a side-effect of another R&D I'm doing, the stuff is useful tho so let's go. By choosing length we both specify the amount of data to be processed & the profile's location screen-wise. It's pretty cool and & useful, on my screen it's always almost touching the left side and still always visible. The code is heavily commented in order to be understood fast, nothing fantastic, just a lil patience required this time. Rationale Market & volume profiles are well known concepts, lotta info available, the most important point of all that is that MP is just another way of visualizing data that lets you notice things you don't usually notice on sequential charts. From my side I can only add that it's better to use your own brain for thinking and reconsidering using volume profile in all the cases, especially on decentralized markets (unless you're aggregating ALL the volume data from everywhere, including options, OTC etc). Here is it, for you

Magnifying Glass (LTF Candles) by SiddWolf█  OVERVIEW This indicator displays The Lower TimeFrame Candles in current chart, Like Zooming in on the Candle to see it's Lower TimeFrame Structure. It plots intrabar OHLC data inside a Label along with the volume structure of LTF candle in an eloquent format. █  QUICK GUIDE Just apply it to the chart, Hover the mouse on the Label and ta-da you have a Lower Timeframe OHLC candles on your screen. Move the indicator to the top and shrink it all the way up, because all the useful data is inside the label. Inside the label: The OHLC ltf candles are pretty straightforward. Volume strength of ltf candles is shown at bottom and Volume Profile on the left. Read the Details below for more information. In the settings, you will find the option to change the UI and can play around with Lower TimeFrame Settings. █  DETAILS First of all, I would like to thank the @TradingView team for providing the function to get access to the lower timeframe data. It is because of them that this magical indicator came into existence. Magnifying Glass indicator displays a Candle's Lower TimeFrame data in Higher timeframe chart. It displays the LTF candles inside a label. It also shows the Volume structure of the lower timeframe candles. Range percentage shown at the bottom is the percentage change between high and low of the current timeframe candle. LTF candle's timeframe is also shown at the bottom on the label. This indicator is gonna be most useful to the price action traders, which is like every profitable trader. How this indicator works: I didn't find any better way to display ltf candles other than labels. Labels are not build for such a complex behaviour, it's a workaround to display this important information. It gets the lower timeframe information of the candle and uses emojis to display information. The area that is shown, is the range of the current timeframe candle. Range is a difference between high and low of the candle. Range percentage is also shown at the bottom in the label. I've divided the range area into 20 parts because there are limitation to display data in the labels. Then the code checks out, in what area does the ltf candle body or wick lies, then displays the information using emojis. The code uses matrix elements for each block and relies heavily on string manipulation. But what I've found most difficult, is managing to fit everything correctly and beautifully so that the view doesn't break. Volume Structure: Strength of the Lower TimeFrame Candles is shown at the bottom inside the label. The Higher Volume is shown with the dark shade color and Lower Volume is shown with the light shade. The volume of candles are also ranked, with 1 being the highest volume, so you can see which candle have the maximum to minimum volume. This is pretty important to make a price action analysis of the lower timeframe candles. Inside the label on the left side you will see the volume profile. As the volume on the bottom shows the strength of each ltf candles, Volume profile on the left shows strength in a particular zone. The Darker the color, the higher the volume in the zone. The Highest volume on the left represents Point of Control (Volume Profile POC) of the candle. Lower TimeFrame Settings: There is a limitation for the lowest timeframe you can show for a chart, because there is only so much data you can fit inside a label. A label can show upto 20 blocks of emojis (candle blocks) per row. Magnifying Glass utilizes this behaviour of labels. 16 blocks are used to display ltf candles, 1 for volume profile and two for Open and Close Highlighter. So for any chart timeframe, ltf candles can be 16th part of htf candle. So 4 hours chart can show as low as 15 minutes of ltf data. I didn't provide the open settings for changing the lower timeframe, as it would give errors in a lot of ways. You can change the timeframe for each chart time from the settings provided. Limitations: Like I mentioned earlier, this indicator is a workaround to display ltf candles inside a label. This indicator does not work well on smaller screens. So if you are not able to see the label, zoom out on your browser a bit. Move the indicator to either top or bottom of all indicators and shrink it's space because all details are inside the label. █  How I use MAGNIFYING GLASS: This indicator provides you an edge, on top of your existing trading strategy. How you use Magnifying Glass is entirely dependent on your strategy. I use this indicator to get a broad picture, before getting into a trade. For example I see a Doji or Engulfing or any other famous candlestick pattern on important levels, I hover the mouse on Magnifying Glass, to look for the price action the ltf candles have been through, to make that pattern. I also use it with my "Wick Pressure" indicator, to check price action at wick zones. Whenever I see price touching important supply and demand zones, I check last few candles to read chart like a beautiful price action story. Also volume is pretty important too. This is what makes Magnifying Glass even better than actual lower timeframe candles. The increasing volume along with up/down trend price shows upward/downward momentum. The sudden burst (peak) in the volume suggests volume climax. Volume profile on the left can be interpreted as the strength/weakness zones inside a candle. The low volume in a price zone suggests weakness and High volume suggests strength. The Highest volume on the left act as POC for that candle. Before making any trade, I read the structure of last three or four candles to get the complete price action picture. █  Conclusion Magnifying Glass is a well crafted indicator that can be used to track lower timeframe price action. This indicator gives you an edge with the Multi Timeframe Analysis, which I believe is the most important aspect of profitable trading. ~ @SiddWolf

MM Day Trader LevelsAs an intraday trader, there are certain key levels that I care about for short-term price action on every single chart. When I first began day trading, each morning I would painstakingly mark those key levels off on the charts I planned to trade each day. Depending on the number of charts I was watching, this would take up quite a bit of my time that I felt would have been much better spent doing other things. It also meant that those levels would often be left behind, and on later days I might be trading a symbol and get confused when a line appeared and I'd be paying attention to it only to later discover that it wasn't from prior day, but from some other day in the past when I had marked it off. I looked all over TradingView to find indicators that did this automatically for me, and I found a lot of them. One by one I tried them, and inevitably I would always find that something was wrong with them. Often they didn't have all of the levels I wanted (so I would have to combine multiple indicators), but more often I found that the levels would be incorrect, or they would be buggy and not appear consistently, or they would not appear at the right time, or they would not work on futures! The list of problems went on and on. And the biggest issue I found was that nobody knew how to get session volume profile in an indicator. So, over the course of a few years I figured out how to solve all of those problems and now I'm thrilled to present this free indicator for everyone like me who trades intraday and wants a clean consistent way to see the prior day levels that they care about automatically on every single chart (even futures). The levels the indicator provides are: Yesterday High & Low Value Area High & Low & Point of Control Today's Open Yesterday's Close (aka "Settlement" on futures) Premarket High & Low (non-futures only) Overnight High & Low (futures only) These levels are extremely important, and I expect price to be reactive to them, so each level has a shaded background behind it so that the levels stand out against other lines you may have on your chart. I try to keep configuration as simple as possible, but there are configuration options that allow you to: Hide any of the levels Change the color for the levels Shade the value area (or not) Change the label text, size, type (basic label or plain text) and location (how far to the right of last candle to place the label Adjust session volume profile value area volume & number of rows The biggest advantage to this indicator over others on TradingView is how it handles session volume profile. When it comes to futures, TradingView does differentiate between regular trading hours and "electronic" trading hours on the charts, but their timeframes for those sessions are unusual, and they do not provide any programmatic way to differentiate between them. So, I created a whole new library for dealing with futures sessions that is fully integrated into both my Session Volume Profile library and this indicator, allowing me to bring you the best and only custom indicator available on TradingView that provides you with true regular session volume profile information across every type of symbol, including futures. I'm incredibly proud of everything I've been able to provide with this indicator, and even more thrilled to say that I'm proud of how the indicator has been implemented. Once again releasing this indicator and all associated code for free and open source. I encourage you to take a look at the source code to see how it all works, take advantage of the free underlying libraries I created to make all of this possible: Session Library and Session Volume Profile Library.

Volume Positive & Negative Levels [ChartPrime]Volume Positive & Negative Levels Overview: The Volume Positive & Negative Levels indicator by ChartPrime is designed to provide traders with a clear visualization of volume activity across different price levels. By plotting volume levels as histograms, this tool helps identify significant areas of buying (positive volume) and selling (negative volume) pressure, enhancing the ability to spot potential support and resistance zones. Key Features: ⯁ Lookback Period: - The `lookbackPeriod` parameter, set to 500 bars, determines the range over which the volume analysis is conducted, ensuring a comprehensive view of the market’s volume activity. The maximum lookback period is 500 bars or the bars currently visible on the chart, whichever is smaller. ⯁ Dynamic Volume Calculation: - Volume is calculated dynamically based on the price action, with positive volume indicating buying pressure (close > open) and negative volume indicating selling pressure (close < open). ⯁ Color Coding for Clarity: - Positive Volume: Represented with a distinct color (`#ad9a2c`), making it easy to identify areas of buying interest. - Negative Volume: Highlighted with another color (`#ad2cad`), simplifying the detection of selling pressure. Volume Threshold and Bins: - The indicator allows users to set a volume threshold (`volume_level`) to highlight significant volume levels, with the default set at 70. - The number of bins (`numBins`) defines the granularity of the volume profile, with a higher number providing more detail. ⯁ Volume Profile Visualization: - The volume profile is plotted as a histogram, with the height of each bar proportional to the volume at that price level. This visualization helps in quickly assessing the strength of volume at various price points. ⯁ Interactive Labels and Threshold Indicators: - Labels: The indicator uses labels to mark significant volume levels, providing quick reference points for traders. - Threshold Lines: Lines are drawn at specified volume thresholds, with colors and widths dynamically adjusted based on the volume levels. ⯁ User Inputs: - Volume Threshold (`volume_level`): Sets the minimum volume required to highlight significant levels. - Number of Bins (`numBins`): Determines the resolution of the volume profile. - Line Width (`line_withd`): Specifies the width of the lines used in the visualization. The Volume Positive & Negative Levels indicator is a powerful tool for traders looking to gain deeper insights into market dynamics. By providing a clear visual representation of volume activity across different price levels, it helps traders identify key support and resistance zones, spot trends, and make more informed trading decisions. Whether you are a day trader or a swing trader, this indicator enhances your ability to analyze volume data effectively, improving your overall trading strategy.

Profile Any Indicator [Kioseff Trading]Create a visible-range profile for almost any indicator! Hello! This script "Profile Any Indicator" allows you to create a visible-range profile for *almost* any indicator hosted on TradingView. Therefore, the only requirement: 1. Indicator must have a retrievable plot value. Should your indicator have a retrievable plot value (most indicators do), you can use this script to create a visible-range profile of its values! Consequently, the profile's always oriented to the left-most or right-most side of your chart - updating as you scroll left or right. The image above shows me using the indicator to create a profile for MACD. I am largely zoomed out and the profile has adjusted to chart orientation. Let's zoom in and see what happens! Voila! The indicator adjusted to my chart positioning and created a new visible-range profile! No manual adjustments are required (: Instructions 1. Load the indicator you'd like to profile on the chart. The image above shows me applying the OBV indicator to the chart. Additionally, the "Profile Any Indicator" script is also loaded on the chart, instructing me to add an indicator to its settings. 2. From the settings for "Profile Any indicator", locate the "Indicator" setting and select the indicator you would like to profile. The image above shows me selecting the OBV indicator in the settings for "Profile Any Indicator". Once steps 1 and 2 are complete you'll have a visible-range profile for the selected indicator on your chart! The image above shows the completion of the process. 3. Merge the indicator pane or select to plot the selected indicator in the current pane. From here, you can select to plot the value of the selected indicator in the current pane or merge the selected indicator's pane (which must stay on the chart) with the pane designated to the "Profile Any Indicator" script. The image above shows the two panes merged. The image above shows the two panes separate. Alternatively, in the settings for "Profile Any Indicator", I selected to plot OBV in its pane. You can select to populate the visible-range profile on the right of the chart! Additionally, you can modify the POC line, value area %, and, essentially, any parameter you'd find for a volume-profile-like indicator! Thanks for checking this out (:

By the end of this guide, readers should have a clear understanding of how the Supertrend Advance Strategy works, its benefits, potential pitfalls, and practical application in various trading scenarios. Overview of the Supertrend Advance Pullback Strategy: At its core, the Supertrend Advance Strategy is an evolution of the popular Supertrend Indicator. Designed to generate buy and sell signals in trending markets, the Supertrend Indicator has been a favorite tool for many traders around the world. The Advance Strategy, however, builds upon this foundation by introducing enhanced mechanisms, filters, and methodologies to increase precision and reduce false signals. 1. Basic Concept: The Supertrend Advance Strategy relies on a combination of price action and volatility to determine the potential trend direction. By assessing the average true range (ATR) in conjunction with specific price points, this strategy aims to highlight the potential starting and ending points of market trends. 2. Methodology: Unlike the traditional Supertrend Indicator, which primarily focuses on closing prices and ATR, the Advance Strategy integrates other critical market variables, such as volume, momentum oscillators, and perhaps even fundamental data, to validate its signals. This multidimensional approach ensures that the generated signals are more reliable and are less prone to market noise. 3. Benefits: One of the main benefits of the Supertrend Advance Strategy is its ability to filter out false breakouts and minor price fluctuations, which can often lead to premature exits or entries in the market. By waiting for a confluence of factors to align, traders using this advanced strategy can increase their chances of entering or exiting trades at optimal points. 4. Practical Applications: The Supertrend Advance Strategy can be applied across various timeframes, from intraday trading to swing trading and even long-term investment scenarios.

The Supertrend Advance Strategy is a refined version of the classic Supertrend Indicator, which was developed to aid traders in spotting market trends. The strategy utilizes a combination of data points, including average true range (ATR) and price momentum, to generate buy and sell signals. In essence, the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be visualized as a line that moves with the price. When the price is above the Supertrend line, it indicates an uptrend and suggests a potential buy position. Conversely, when the price is below the Supertrend line, it hints at a downtrend, suggesting a potential selling point. Strategy Goals and Objectives: 1. Trend Identification: At the core of the Supertrend Advance Strategy is the goal to efficiently and consistently identify prevailing market trends. By recognizing these trends, traders can position themselves to capitalize on price movements in their favor. 2. Reducing Noise: Financial markets are often inundated with 'noise' - short-term price fluctuations that can mislead traders. The Supertrend Advance Strategy aims to filter out this noise, allowing for clearer decision-making. 3. Enhancing Risk Management: With clear buy and sell signals, traders can set more precise stop-loss and take-profit points. This leads to better risk management and potentially improved profitability. 4. Versatility: While primarily used for trend identification, the strategy can be integrated with other technical tools and indicators to create a comprehensive trading system. Type of Assets/Markets to Apply the Strategy: 1. Equities: The Supertrend Advance Strategy is highly popular among stock traders. Its ability to capture long-term trends makes it particularly useful for those trading individual stocks or equity indices. 2. Forex: Given the 24-hour nature of the Forex market and its propensity for trends, the Supertrend Advance Strategy is a valuable tool for currency traders. 3. Commodities: Whether it's gold, oil, or agricultural products, commodities often move in extended trends. The strategy can help in identifying and capitalizing on these movements. 4. Cryptocurrencies: The volatile nature of cryptocurrencies means they can have pronounced trends. The Supertrend Advance Strategy can aid crypto traders in navigating these often tumultuous waters. 5. Futures & Options: Traders and investors in derivative markets can utilize the strategy to make more informed decisions about contract entries and exits. It's important to note that while the Supertrend Advance Strategy can be applied across various assets and markets, its effectiveness might vary based on market conditions, timeframe, and the specific characteristics of the asset in question. As always, it's recommended to use the strategy in conjunction with other analytical tools and to backtest its effectiveness in specific scenarios before committing to trades. 4. Input Settings Understanding and correctly configuring input settings is crucial for optimizing the Supertrend Advance Strategy for any specific market or asset. These settings, when tweaked correctly, can drastically impact the strategy's performance. Grouping Inputs: Before diving into individual input settings, it's important to group similar inputs. Grouping can simplify the user interface, making it easier to adjust settings related to a specific function or indicator. Strategy Choice: This input allows traders to select from various strategies that incorporate the Supertrend indicator. Options might include "Supertrend with RSI," "Supertrend with MACD," etc. By choosing a strategy, the associated input settings for that strategy become available. Supertrend Settings: 1. Multiplier: Typically, a default value of 3 is used. This multiplier is used in the ATR calculation. Increasing it makes the Supertrend line further from prices, while decreasing it brings the line closer. 2. Period: The number of bars used in the ATR calculation. A common default is 7. EMA Settings (Exponential Moving Average): 1. Period: Defines the number of previous bars used to calculate the EMA. Common periods are 9, 21, 50, and 200. 2. Source: Allows traders to choose which price (Open, Close, High, Low) to use in the EMA calculation. RSI Settings (Relative Strength Index): 1. Length: Determines how many periods are used for RSI calculation. The standard setting is 14. 2. Overbought Level: The threshold at which the asset is considered overbought, typically set at 70. 3. Oversold Level: The threshold at which the asset is considered oversold, often at 30. MACD Settings (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): 1. Short Period: The shorter EMA, usually set to 12. 2. Long Period: The longer EMA, commonly set to 26. 3. Signal Period: Defines the EMA of the MACD line, typically set at 9. CCI Settings (Commodity Channel Index): 1. Period: The number of bars used in the CCI calculation, often set to 20. 2. Overbought Level: Typically set at +100, denoting overbought conditions. 3. Oversold Level: Usually set at -100, indicating oversold conditions. SL/TP Settings (Stop Loss/Take Profit): 1. SL Multiplier: Defines the multiplier for the average true range (ATR) to set the stop loss. 2. TP Multiplier: Defines the multiplier for the average true range (ATR) to set the take profit. Filtering Conditions: This section allows traders to set conditions to filter out certain signals. For example, one might only want to take buy signals when the RSI is below 30, ensuring they buy during oversold conditions. Trade Direction and Backtest Period: 1. Trade Direction: Allows traders to specify whether they want to take long trades, short trades, or both. 2. Backtest Period: Specifies the time range for backtesting the strategy. Traders can choose from options like 'Last 6 months,' 'Last 1 year,' etc. It's essential to remember that while default settings are provided for many of these tools, optimal settings can vary based on the market, timeframe, and trading style. Always backtest new settings on historical data to gauge their potential efficacy. 5. Understanding Strategy Conditions Developing an understanding of the conditions set within a trading strategy is essential for traders to maximize its potential. Here, we delve deep into the logic behind these conditions, using the Supertrend Advance Strategy as our focal point. Basic Logic Behind Conditions: Every strategy is built around a set of conditions that provide buy or sell signals. The conditions are based on mathematical or statistical methods and are rooted in the study of historical price data. The fundamental idea is to recognize patterns or behaviors that have been profitable in the past and might be profitable in the future. Buy and Sell Conditions: 1. Buy Conditions: Usually formulated around bullish signals or indicators suggesting upward price momentum. 2. Sell Conditions: Centered on bearish signals or indicators indicating downward price momentum. Simple Strategy: The simple strategy could involve using just the Supertrend indicator. Here: • Buy: When price closes above the Supertrend line. • Sell: When price closes below the Supertrend line. Pullback Strategy: This strategy capitalizes on price retracements: • Buy: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bullish signal and is supported by another bullish indicator. • Sell: When the price retraces to the Supertrend line after a bearish signal and is confirmed by another bearish indicator. Indicators Used: EMA (Exponential Moving Average): • Logic: EMA gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to current price movements. A shorter-period EMA crossing above a longer-period EMA can be a bullish sign, while the opposite is bearish. RSI (Relative Strength Index): • Logic: RSI measures the magnitude of recent price changes to analyze overbought or oversold conditions. Values above 70 are typically considered overbought, and values below 30 are considered oversold. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): • Logic: MACD assesses the relationship between two EMAs of a security’s price. The MACD line crossing above the signal line can be a bullish signal, while crossing below can be bearish. CCI (Commodity Channel Index): • Logic: CCI compares a security's average price change with its average price variation. A CCI value above +100 may mean the price is overbought, while below -100 might signify an oversold condition. And others... As the strategy expands or contracts, more indicators might be added or removed. The crucial point is to understand the core logic behind each, ensuring they align with the strategy's objectives. Logic Behind Each Indicator: 1. EMA: Emphasizes recent price movements; provides dynamic support and resistance levels. 2. RSI: Indicates overbought and oversold conditions based on recent price changes. 3. MACD: Showcases momentum and direction of a trend by comparing two EMAs. 4. CCI: Measures the difference between a security's price change and its average price change. Understanding strategy conditions is not just about knowing when to buy or sell but also about comprehending the underlying market dynamics that those conditions represent. As you familiarize yourself with each condition and indicator, you'll be better prepared to adapt and evolve with the ever-changing financial markets. 6. Trade Execution and Management Trade execution and management are crucial aspects of any trading strategy. Efficient execution can significantly impact profitability, while effective management can preserve capital during adverse market conditions. In this section, we'll explore the nuances of position entry, exit strategies, and various Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) methodologies within the Supertrend Advance Strategy. Position Entry: Effective trade entry revolves around: 1. Timing: Enter at a point where the risk-reward ratio is favorable. This often corresponds to confirmatory signals from multiple indicators. 2. Volume Analysis: Ensure there's adequate volume to support the movement. Volume can validate the strength of a signal. 3. Confirmation: Use multiple indicators or chart patterns to confirm the entry point. For instance, a buy signal from the Supertrend indicator can be confirmed with a bullish MACD crossover. Position Exit Strategies: A successful exit strategy will lock in profits and minimize losses. Here are some strategies: 1. Fixed Time Exit: Exiting after a predetermined period. 2. Percentage-based Profit Target: Exiting after a certain percentage gain. 3. Indicator-based Exit: Exiting when an indicator gives an opposing signal. Percentage-based SL/TP: • Stop Loss (SL): Set a fixed percentage below the entry price to limit potential losses. • Example: A 2% SL on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $98. • Take Profit (TP): Set a fixed percentage above the entry price to lock in gains. • Example: A 5% TP on an entry at $100 would trigger a sell at $105. Supertrend-based SL/TP: • Stop Loss (SL): Position the SL at the Supertrend line. If the price breaches this line, it could indicate a trend reversal. • Take Profit (TP): One could set the TP at a point where the Supertrend line flattens or turns, indicating a possible slowdown in momentum. Swing high/low-based SL/TP: • Stop Loss (SL): For a long position, set the SL just below the recent swing low. For a short position, set it just above the recent swing high. • Take Profit (TP): For a long position, set the TP near a recent swing high or resistance. For a short position, near a swing low or support. And other methods... 1. Trailing Stop Loss: This dynamic SL adjusts with the price movement, locking in profits as the trade moves in your favor. 2. Multiple Take Profits: Divide the position into segments and set multiple TP levels, securing profits in stages. 3. Opposite Signal Exit: Exit when another reliable indicator gives an opposite signal. Trade execution and management are as much an art as they are a science. They require a blend of analytical skill, discipline, and intuition. Regularly reviewing and refining your strategies, especially in light of changing market conditions, is crucial to maintaining consistent trading performance. 7. Visual Representations Visual tools are essential for traders, as they simplify complex data into an easily interpretable format. Properly analyzing and understanding the plots on a chart can provide actionable insights and a more intuitive grasp of market conditions. In this section, we’ll delve into various visual representations used in the Supertrend Advance Strategy and their significance. Understanding Plots on the Chart: Charts are the primary visual aids for traders. The arrangement of data points, lines, and colors on them tell a story about the market's past, present, and potential future moves. 1. Data Points: These represent individual price actions over a specific timeframe. For instance, a daily chart will have data points showing the opening, closing, high, and low prices for each day. 2. Colors: Used to indicate the nature of price movement. Commonly, green is used for bullish (upward) moves and red for bearish (downward) moves. Trend Lines: Trend lines are straight lines drawn on a chart that connect a series of price points. Their significance: 1. Uptrend Line: Drawn along the lows, representing support. A break below might indicate a trend reversal. 2. Downtrend Line: Drawn along the highs, indicating resistance. A break above might suggest the start of a bullish trend. Filled Areas: These represent a range between two values on a chart, usually shaded or colored. For instance: 1. Bollinger Bands: The area between the upper and lower band is filled, giving a visual representation of volatility. 2. Volume Profile: Can show a filled area representing the amount of trading activity at different price levels. Stop Loss and Take Profit Lines: These are horizontal lines representing pre-determined exit points for trades. 1. Stop Loss Line: Indicates the level at which a trade will be automatically closed to limit losses. Positioned according to the trader's risk tolerance. 2. Take Profit Line: Denotes the target level to lock in profits. Set according to potential resistance (for long trades) or support (for short trades) or other technical factors. Trailing Stop Lines: A trailing stop is a dynamic form of stop loss that moves with the price. On a chart: 1. For Long Trades: Starts below the entry price and moves up with the price but remains static if the price falls, ensuring profits are locked in. 2. For Short Trades: Starts above the entry price and moves down with the price but remains static if the price rises. Visual representations offer traders a clear, organized view of market dynamics. Familiarity with these tools ensures that traders can quickly and accurately interpret chart data, leading to more informed decision-making. Always ensure that the visual aids used resonate with your trading style and strategy for the best results. 8. Backtesting Backtesting is a fundamental process in strategy development, enabling traders to evaluate the efficacy of their strategy using historical data. It provides a snapshot of how the strategy would have performed in past market conditions, offering insights into its potential strengths and vulnerabilities. In this section, we'll explore the intricacies of setting up and analyzing backtest results and the caveats one must be aware of. Setting Up Backtest Period: 1. Duration: Determine the timeframe for the backtest. It should be long enough to capture various market conditions (bullish, bearish, sideways). For instance, if you're testing a daily strategy, consider a period of several years. 2. Data Quality: Ensure the data source is reliable, offering high-resolution and clean data. This is vital to get accurate backtest results. 3. Segmentation: Instead of a continuous period, sometimes it's helpful to backtest over distinct market phases, like a particular bear or bull market, to see how the strategy holds up in different environments. Analyzing Backtest Results: 1. Performance Metrics: Examine metrics like the total return, annualized return, maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and others to gauge the strategy's efficiency. 2. Win Rate: It's the ratio of winning trades to total trades. A high win rate doesn't always signify a good strategy; it should be evaluated in conjunction with other metrics. 3. Risk/Reward: Understand the average profit versus the average loss per trade. A strategy might have a low win rate but still be profitable if the average gain far exceeds the average loss. 4. Drawdown Analysis: Review the periods of losses the strategy could incur and how long it takes, on average, to recover. 9. Tips and Best Practices Successful trading requires more than just knowing how a strategy works. It necessitates an understanding of when to apply it, how to adjust it to varying market conditions, and the wisdom to recognize and avoid common pitfalls. This section offers insightful tips and best practices to enhance the application of the Supertrend Advance Strategy. When to Use the Strategy: 1. Market Conditions: Ideally, employ the Supertrend Advance Strategy during trending market conditions. This strategy thrives when there are clear upward or downward trends. It might be less effective during consolidative or sideways markets. 2. News Events: Be cautious around significant news events, as they can cause extreme volatility. It might be wise to avoid trading immediately before and after high-impact news. 3. Liquidity: Ensure you are trading in assets/markets with sufficient liquidity. High liquidity ensures that the price movements are more reflective of genuine market sentiment and not due to thin volume. Adjusting Settings for Different Markets/Timeframes: 1. Markets: Each market (stocks, forex, commodities) has its own characteristics. It's essential to adjust the strategy's parameters to align with the market's volatility and liquidity. 2. Timeframes: Shorter timeframes (like 1-minute or 5-minute charts) tend to have more noise. You might need to adjust the settings to filter out false signals. Conversely, for longer timeframes (like daily or weekly charts), you might need to be more responsive to genuine trend changes. 3. Customization: Regularly review and tweak the strategy's settings. Periodic adjustments can ensure the strategy remains optimized for the current market conditions. 10. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Given the complexities and nuances of the Supertrend Advance Strategy, it's only natural for traders, both new and seasoned, to have questions. This section addresses some of the most commonly asked questions regarding the strategy. 1. What exactly is the Supertrend Advance Strategy? The Supertrend Advance Strategy is an evolved version of the traditional Supertrend indicator. It's designed to provide clearer buy and sell signals by incorporating additional indicators like EMA, RSI, MACD, CCI, etc. The strategy aims to capitalize on market trends while minimizing false signals. 2. Can I use the Supertrend Advance Strategy for all asset types? Yes, the strategy can be applied to various asset types like stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. However, it's crucial to adjust the settings accordingly to suit the specific characteristics and volatility of each asset type. 3. Is this strategy suitable for day trading? Absolutely! The Supertrend Advance Strategy can be adjusted to suit various timeframes, making it versatile for both day trading and long-term trading. Remember to fine-tune the settings to align with the timeframe you're trading on. 4. How do I deal with false signals? No strategy is immune to false signals. However, by combining the Supertrend with other indicators and adhering to strict risk management protocols, you can minimize the impact of false signals. Always use stop-loss orders and consider filtering trades with additional confirmation signals. 5. Do I need any prior trading experience to use this strategy? While the Supertrend Advance Strategy is designed to be user-friendly, having a foundational understanding of trading and market analysis can greatly enhance your ability to employ the strategy effectively. If you're a beginner, consider pairing the strategy with further education and practice on demo accounts. 6. How often should I review and adjust the strategy settings? There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Some traders adjust settings weekly, while others might do it monthly. The key is to remain responsive to changing market conditions. Regular backtesting can give insights into potential required adjustments. 7. Can the Supertrend Advance Strategy be automated? Yes, many traders use algorithmic trading platforms to automate their strategies, including the Supertrend Advance Strategy. However, always monitor automated systems regularly to ensure they're operating as intended. 8. Are there any markets or conditions where the strategy shouldn't be used? The strategy might generate more false signals in markets that are consolidative or range-bound. During significant news events or times of unexpected high volatility, it's advisable to tread with caution or stay out of the market. 9. How important is backtesting with this strategy? Backtesting is crucial as it allows traders to understand how the strategy would have performed in the past, offering insights into potential profitability and areas of improvement. Always backtest any new setting or tweak before applying it to live trades. 10. What if the strategy isn't working for me? No strategy guarantees consistent profits. If it's not working for you, consider reviewing your settings, seeking expert advice, or complementing the Supertrend Advance Strategy with other analysis methods. Remember, continuous learning and adaptation are the keys to trading success. Other comments Value of combining several indicators in this script and how they work together Diversification of Signals: Just as diversifying an investment portfolio can reduce risk, using multiple indicators can offer varied perspectives on potential price movements. Each indicator can capture a different facet of the market, ensuring that traders are not overly reliant on a single data point. Confirmation & Reduced False Signals: A common challenge with many indicators is the potential for false signals. By requiring confirmation from multiple indicators before acting, the chances of acting on a false signal can be significantly reduced. Flexibility Across Market Conditions: Different indicators might perform better under different market conditions. For example, while moving averages might excel in trending markets, oscillators like RSI might be more useful during sideways or range-bound conditions. A mashup strategy can potentially adapt better to varying market scenarios. Comprehensive Analysis: With multiple indicators, traders can gauge trend strength, momentum, volatility, and potential market reversals all at once, providing a holistic view of the market. How do the different indicators in the Supertrend Advance Strategy work together? Supertrend: This is primarily a trend-following indicator. It provides traders with buy and sell signals based on the volatility of the price. When combined with other indicators, it can filter out noise and give more weight to strong, confirmed trends. EMA (Exponential Moving Average): EMA gives more weight to recent price data. It can be used to identify the direction and strength of a trend. When the price is above the EMA, it's generally considered bullish, and vice versa. RSI (Relative Strength Index): An oscillator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions. By cross-referencing with other indicators like EMA or MACD, traders can spot potential reversals or confirmations of a trend. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): This indicator identifies changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a stock's price. When the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it can be a bullish sign, and when it crosses below, it can be bearish. Pairing MACD with Supertrend can provide dual confirmation of a trend. CCI (Commodity Channel Index): Initially developed for commodities, CCI can indicate overbought or oversold conditions. It can be used in conjunction with other indicators to determine entry and exit points. In essence, the synergy of these indicators provides a balanced, comprehensive approach to trading. Each indicator offers its unique lens into market conditions, and when they align, it can be a powerful indication of a trading opportunity. This combination not only reduces the potential drawbacks of each individual indicator but leverages their strengths, aiming for more consistent and informed trading decisions. Backtesting and Default Settings • This indicator has been optimized to be applied for 1 hour-charts. However, the underlying principles of this strategy are supply and demand in the financial markets and the strategy can be applied to all timeframes. Daytraders can use the 1min- or 5min charts, swing-traders can use the daily charts. • This strategy has been designed to identify the most promising, highest probability entries and trades for each stock or other financial security. • The combination of the qualifiers results in a highly selective strategy which only considers the most promising swing-trading entries. As a result, you will normally only find a low number of trades for each stock or other financial security per year in case you apply this strategy for the daily charts. Shorter timeframes will result in a higher number of trades / year. • Consequently, traders need to apply this strategy for a full watchlist rather than just one financial security. • Default properties: RSI on (length 14, RSI buy level 50, sell level 50), EMA, RSI, MACD on, type of strategy pullback, SL/TP type: ATR (length 10, factor 3), trade direction both, quantity 5, take profit swing hl 5.1, highest / lowest lookback 2, enable ATR trail (ATR length 10, SL ATR multiplier 1.4, TP multiplier 2.1, lookback = 4, trade direction = both).

Normal Distribution CurveThis Normal Distribution Curve is designed to overlay a simple normal distribution curve on top of any TradingView indicator. This curve represents a probability distribution for a given dataset and can be used to gain insights into the likelihood of various data levels occurring within a specified range, providing traders and investors with a clear visualization of the distribution of values within a specific dataset. With the only inputs being the variable source and plot colour, I think this is by far the simplest and most intuitive iteration of any statistical analysis based indicator I've seen here! Traders can quickly assess how data clusters around the mean in a bell curve and easily see the percentile frequency of the data; or perhaps with both and upper and lower peaks identify likely periods of upcoming volatility or mean reversion. Facilitating the identification of outliers was my main purpose when creating this tool, I believed fixed values for upper/lower bounds within most indicators are too static and do not dynamically fit the vastly different movements of all assets and timeframes - and being able to easily understand the spread of information simplifies the process of identifying key regions to take action. The curve's tails, representing the extreme percentiles, can help identify outliers and potential areas of price reversal or trend acceleration. For example using the RSI which typically has static levels of 70 and 30, which will be breached considerably more on a less liquid or more volatile asset and therefore reduce the actionable effectiveness of the indicator, likewise for an asset with little to no directional volatility failing to ever reach this overbought/oversold areas. It makes considerably more sense to look for the top/bottom 5% or 10% levels of outlying data which are automatically calculated with this indicator, and may be a noticeable distance from the 70 and 30 values, as regions to be observing for your investing. This normal distribution curve employs percentile linear interpolation to calculate the distribution. This interpolation technique considers the nearest data points and calculates the price values between them. This process ensures a smooth curve that accurately represents the probability distribution, even for percentiles not directly present in the original dataset; and applicable to any asset regardless of timeframe. The lookback period is set to a value of 5000 which should ensure ample data is taken into calculation and consideration without surpassing any TradingView constraints and limitations, for datasets smaller than this the indicator will adjust the length to just include all data. The labels providing the percentile and average levels can also be removed in the style tab if preferred. Additionally, as an unplanned benefit is its applicability to the underlying price data as well as any derived indicators. Turning it into something comparable to a volume profile indicator but based on the time an assets price was within a specific range as opposed to the volume. This can therefore be used as a tool for identifying potential support and resistance zones, as well as areas that mark market inefficiencies as price rapidly accelerated through. This may then give a cleaner outlook as it eliminates the potential drawbacks of volume based profiles that maybe don't collate all exchange data or are misrepresented due to large unforeseen increases/decreases underlying capital inflows/outflows. Thanks to @ALifeToMake, @Bjorgum, vgladkov on stackoverflow (and possibly some chatGPT!) for all the assistance in bringing this indicator to life. I really hope every user can find some use from this and help bring a unique and data driven perspective to their decision making. And make sure to please share any original implementaions of this tool too! If you've managed to apply this to the average price change once you've entered your position to better manage your trade management, or maybe overlaying on an implied volatility indicator to identify potential options arbitrage opportunities; let me know! And of course if anyone has any issues, questions, queries or requests please feel free to reach out! Thanks and enjoy.

Pin Candle DetectionPin candles are a variation of hammer candles that are useful in technical analysis . In particular, when combined with volume profile studies, they can be a powerful set up for long entries or other decision making. For example, when looking at volume profiles, a long entry would be a fair value area (i.e. 40%) below the close of a pin candle. When combined with a support level , the set up is stronger. While most scripts look for hammer candles, pin candles are somewhat different in that the length of the wick is significant. This script and its parameters was built for ES futures 15 min chart in mind. This script is unique in that it allows for the below parameters to be adjusted to suit other instruments and timeframes: 1. Fib level: Candle must close within a certain retracement level). My preference is 0.55. Some traders like 0.5, while others prefer 0.33 2. Wick length: Pin candles differ from pure hammers in that the length of the wick must be significant. My preference is 7 points on ES (as in $ and not ticks) Add this script to your alerts to no longer miss these set ups.

Bar Bodies [vnhilton]Note: Go to "Chart Settings" & hide "Body" & "Borders". Also uncheck "Labels on price scale" & "Values in status line" as they're not needed. This script plots candlestick bodies with the same thickness as the wicks (similar to the bar chart, but without the horizontal lines to represent the open & close). To do this, it plots an invisible candlestick body with an invisible candlestick border from the high to the close/open for a green/red candle respectively, & uses the low wick as the candlestick body itself by plotting it from the low price to the open/close for a green/red candle respectively. My personal use for this script is to use it in conjunction with TradingView's Periodic Volume Profile, in order to still see OHLC data without obstructing the candlesticks' volume profiles, as seen in the chart snapshot image above.

Liquidity Levels/Voids (VP) [LuxAlgo]The Liquidity Levels/Voids (VP) is a script designed to detect liquidity voids & levels by measuring traded volume at all price levels on the market between two swing points and highlighting the distribution of the liquidity voids & levels at specific price levels. 🔶 USAGE Liquidity is a fundamental market force that shapes the trajectory of assets. The creation of a liquidity level comes as a result of an initial imbalance of supply/demand, which forms what we know as a swing high or swing low. As more players take positions in the market, these are levels that market participants will use as a historical reference to place their stops. When the levels are then re-tested, a decision will be made. The binary outcome here can be a breakout of the level or a reversal back to the mean. Liquidity voids are sudden price changes that occur in the market when the price jumps from one level to another with little trading activity (low volume), creating an imbalance in price. The price tends to fill or retest the liquidity voids area, and traders understand at which price level institutional players have been active. Liquidity voids are a valuable concept in trading, as they provide insights about where many orders were injected, creating this inefficiency in the market. The price tends to restore the balance. 🔶 SETTINGS The script takes into account user-defined parameters and detects the liquidity voids based on them, where detailed usage for each user-defined input parameter in indicator settings is provided with the related input's tooltip. 🔹 Liquidity Levels / Voids Liquidity Levels/Voids: Color customization option for Unfilled Liquidity Levels/Voids. Detection Length: Lookback period used for the calculation of Swing Levels. Threshold %: Threshold used for the calculation of the Liquidity Levels & Voids. Sensitivity: Adjusts the number of levels between two swing points, as a result, the height of a level is determined, and then based on the above-given threshold the level is checked if it matches the liquidity level/void conditions. Filled Liquidity Levels/Voids: Toggles the visibility of the Filled Liquidity Levels/Voids and color customization option for Filled Liquidity Levels/Voids. 🔹 Other Features Swing Highs/Lows: Toggles the visibility of the Swing Levels, where tooltips present statistical information, such as price, price change, and cumulative volume between the two swing levels detected based on the detection length specified above, Coloring options to customize swing low and swing high label colors, and Size option to adjust the size of the labels. 🔹 Display Options Mode: Controls the lookback length of detection and visualization. # Bars: Lookback length customization, in case Mode is set to Present. 🔶 RELATED SCRIPTS Liquidity-Voids-FVG Buyside-Sellside-Liquidity Swing-Volume-Profiles

Ruckard TradingLatinoThis strategy tries to mimic TradingLatino strategy. The current implementation is beta. Si hablas castellano o espanyol por favor consulta MENSAJE EN CASTELLANO más abajo. It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe. STRATEGY DEFAULT SETTINGS EXPLANATION max_bars_back=5000 : This is a random number of bars so that the strategy test lasts for one or two years calc_on_order_fills=false : To wait for the 4h closing is too much. Try to check if it's worth entering a position after closing one. I finally decided not to recheck if it's worth entering after an order is closed. So it is false. calc_on_every_tick=false pyramiding=0 : We only want one entry allowed in the same direction. And we don't want the order to scale by error. initial_capital=1000 : These are 1000 USDT. By using 1% maximum loss per trade and 7% as a default stop loss by using 1000 USDT at 12000 USDT per BTC price you would entry with around 142 USDT which are converted into: 0.010 BTC . The maximum number of decimal for contracts on this BTCUSDT market is 3 decimals. E.g. the minimum might be: 0.001 BTC . So, this minimal 1000 amount ensures us not to entry with less than 0.001 entries which might have happened when using 100 USDT as an initial capital. slippage=1 : Binance BTCUSDT mintick is: 0.01. Binance slippage: 0.1 % (Let's assume). TV has an integer slippage. It does not have a percentage based slippage. If we assume a 1000 initial capital, the recommended equity is 142 which at 11996 USDT per BTC price means: 0.011 BTC. The 0.1% slippage of: 0.011 BTC would be: 0.000011 . This is way smaller than the mintick. So our slippage is going to be 1. E.g. 1 (slippage) * 0.01 (mintick) commission_type=strategy.commission.percent and commission_value=0.1 : According to: binance . com / en / fee / schedule in VIP 0 level both maker and taker fees are: 0.1 %. BACKGROUND Jaime Merino is a well known Youtuber focused on crypto trading His channel TradingLatino features monday to friday videos where he explains his strategy. JAIME MERINO STANCE ON BOTS Jaime Merino stance on bots (taken from memory out of a 2020 June video from him): '~ You know. They can program you a bot and it might work. But, there are some special situations that the bot would not be able to handle. And, I, as a human, I would handle it. And the bot wouldn't do it. ~' My long term target with this strategy script is add as many special situations as I can to the script so that it can match Jaime Merino behaviour even in non normal circumstances. My alternate target is learn Pine script and enjoy programming with it. WARNING This script might be bigger than other TradingView scripts. However, please, do not be confused because the current status is beta. This script has not been tested with real money. This is NOT an official strategy from Jaime Merino. This is NOT an official strategy from TradingLatino . net . HOW IT WORKS It basically uses ADX slope and LazyBear's Squeeze Momentum Indicator to make its buy and sell decisions. Fast paced EMA being bigger than slow paced EMA (on higher timeframe) advices going long. Fast paced EMA being smaller than slow paced EMA (on higher timeframe) advices going short.

FEEDBACK Please check the strategy source code for more detailed information where, among others, I explain all of the substrats and if they are implemented or not. Q1. Did I understand wrong any of the Jaime substrats (which I have implemented)? Q2. The strategy yields quite profit when we should long (EMA10 from 1d timeframe is higher than EMA55 from 1d timeframe. Why the strategy yields much less profit when we should short (EMA10 from 1d timeframe is lower than EMA55 from 1d timeframe)? Any idea if you need to do something else rather than just reverse what Jaime does when longing? FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FAQ1. Why are you giving this strategy for free? TradingLatino and his fellow enthusiasts taught me this strategy. Now I'm giving back to them. FAQ2. Seriously! Why are you giving this strategy for free? I'm confident his strategy might be improved a lot. By keeping it to myself I would avoid other people contributions to improve it. Now that everyone can contribute this is a win-win. FAQ3. How can I connect this strategy to my Exchange account? It seems that you can attach alerts to strategies. You might want to combine it with a paying account which enable Webhook URLs to work. I don't know how all of this works right now so I cannot give you advice on it. You will have to do your own research on this subject. But, be careful. Automating trades, if not done properly, might end on you automating losses. FAQ4. I have just found that this strategy by default gives more than 3.97% of 'maximum series of losses'. That's unacceptable according to my risk management policy. You might want to reduce default stop loss setting from 7% to something like 5% till you are ok with the 'maximum series of losses'. FAQ5. Where can I learn more about your work on this strategy? Check the source code. You might find unused strategies. Either because there's not a substantial increases on earnings. Or maybe because they have not been implemented yet. FAQ6. How much leverage is applied in this strategy? No leverage. FAQ7. Any difference with original Jaime Merino strategy? Most of the times Jaime defines an stop loss at the price entry. That's not the case here. The default stop loss is 7% (but, don't be confused it only means losing 1% of your investment thanks to risk management). There's also a trailing take profit that triggers at 2% profit with a 1% trailing. FAQ8. Why this strategy return is so small? The strategy should be improved a lot. And, well, backtesting in this platform is not guaranteed to return theoric results comparable to real-life returns. That's why I'm personally forward testing this strategy to verify it.

Historic VPoCs and pseudo VPVRThis study tries to recreate session based historic VPoCs and VPVR Volume Profile as they are used by TradingLatino TradingView user. It's aimed at BTCUSDT pair and 4h timeframe. HOW IT WORKS HOW IT WORKS - VPVR Profile Block It gathers volume from the last chosen Bars in order to draw the vpvr profile block Volume that intersects with current level range being studied is added to its value. Additionally the current level price is modified so that it matches the level price where most of the volume has concentrated So you get a pretty accurate price for drawn volume while at the same time the levels are not stuck to arbitrary level prices. HOW IT WORKS - VPoC It calculates a Volume Profile for the given historic session but then it only outputs that Volume Profile VPoC. SETTINGS Show VPVR Volume Profile {True}. Show Historic VPoC lines {True}. Show Historic VPoC labels {True}. Extend Historic VPoC lines {True}: If this option is turned off the VPoC lines are only shown during the session duration. Show tick difference from current price {False}: BETA. Feedback is needed because I'm not sure how it should work this setting. VPVR Number of bars {100}: Define the Visible Range in number of bars so that its Volume Profile can be shown. VPVR Profile width (in bars) {15}: VPVR Profile can be make larger or smaller in width thanks to this option. VPVR Profile offset (in bars) {15}: VPVR Profile can be shown more to the left or to the right if the defaults do not suit you. Historic Session Volume Profile timeframe {1D}: Historic VPoC use 1 day as their timeframe reference by default. Number of decimal digits {2}: How many decimal digits are shown in label prices. Number of previous sessions to print VPoC {5}: How many previous sessions VPoCs are to be printed. The maximum for this setting is 20. Historic VPoC lines width (in pixels) {2}. Historic VPoC labels size {small}. History VPoC line offset (in bars) {5}: How far to the right VPoCs lines are to be extended. Note: This setting does not apply when 'Extend Historic VPoC lines' is set to 'False'. WARNING Please be aware that VPoC from the first previous session might not be accurate due to Pine Script limitations. VPVR USAGE This is not a VPVR like the official TradingView indicator. This is a pseudo VPVR and that means it needs some manual input from you. But, don't worry it's quite easy to do and if you always use the same number of bars to calculate your VPVR then you might even just set it up once. In order to show the VPVR (or Volume Profile on the Visible Range): Rescale your chart so that you see all the bars for your Visible Range. Click on the ruler tool. Click on the last bar (far to the right) shown on the screen Drag the ruler to first bar (far to the left) shown on the screen Check what the ruler says E.g. it says: 101 bars Open this study settings Modify: 'VPVR Number of bars ' setting So that its value matches your measured number of bars (101) Press OK to confirm and wait for the indicator to refresh. STRATEGY USAGE If your strategy uses VPoC to define your resistances or supports you can check the VPoCs shown here. FEEDBACK I have only used this identifier in BTCUSDT 4h timeframe. I'm interested to know what needs to be tweaked in other securities and timeframes. PINE STUDY TRICK This study let's you choose the number of decimals the label will use. CREDITS I have reused and adapted some code from 'Poor man's volume profile' study which it's from TradingView IldarAkhmetgaleev user. I also wanted to thank him for helping me understanding his study. I have reused some code from 'MTF Selection Framework - PineCoders FAQ' study which it's from TradingView PineCoders user.

Multiple Naked LevelsPURPOSE OF THE INDICATOR This indicator autogenerates and displays naked levels and gaps of multiple types collected into one simple and easy to use indicator. VALUE PROPOSITION OF THE INDICATOR AND HOW IT IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL 1) CONVENIENCE : The purpose of this indicator is to offer traders with one coherent and robust indicator providing useful, valuable, and often used levels - in one place. 2) CLUSTERS OF CONFLUENCES : With this indicator it is easy to identify levels and zones on the chart with multiple confluences increasing the likelihood of a potential reversal zone. THE TYPES OF LEVELS AND GAPS INCLUDED IN THE INDICATOR The types of levels include the following: 1) PIVOT levels (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as: dnPIV, wnPIV, mnPIV. 2) POC (Point of Control) levels (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as: dnPoC, wnPoC, mnPoC. 3) VAH/VAL STD 1 levels (Value Area High/Low with 1 std) (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as: dnVAH1/dnVAL1, wnVAH1/wnVAL1, mnVAH1/mnVAL1 4) VAH/VAL STD 2 levels (Value Area High/Low with 2 std) (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as: dnVAH2/dnVAL2, wnVAH2/wnVAL2, mnVAH1/mnVAL2 5) FAIR VALUE GAPS (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as: dnFVG, wnFVG, mnFVG. 6) CME GAPS (Daily) depicted in the chart as: dnCME. 7) EQUILIBRIUM levels (Daily/Weekly/Monthly) depicted in the chart as dnEQ, wnEQ, mnEQ. HOW-TO ACTIVATE LEVEL TYPES AND TIMEFRAMES AND HOW-TO USE THE INDICATOR You can simply choose which of the levels to be activated and displayed by clicking on the desired radio button in the settings menu. You can locate the settings menu by clicking into the Object Tree window, left-click on the Multiple Naked Levels and select Settings. You will then get a menu of different level types and timeframes. Click the checkboxes for the level types and timeframes that you want to display on the chart. You can then go into the chart and check out which naked levels that have appeared. You can then use those levels as part of your technical analysis. The levels displayed on the chart can serve as additional confluences or as part of your overall technical analysis and indicators. In order to back-test the impact of the different naked levels you can also enable tapped levels to be depicted on the chart. Do this by toggling the 'Show tapped levels' checkbox. Keep in mind however that Trading View can not shom more than 500 lines and text boxes so the indocator will not be able to give you the complete history back to the start for long duration assets. In order to clean up the charts a little bit there are two additional settings that can be used in the Settings menu: - Selecting the price range (%) from the current price to be included in the chart. The default is 25%. That means that all levels below or above 20% will not be displayed. You can set this level yourself from 0 up to 100%. - Selecting the minimum gap size to include on the chart. The default is 1%. That means that all gaps/ranges below 1% in price difference will not be displayed on the chart. You can set the minimum gap size yourself. BASIC DESCRIPTION OF THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE INDICTATOR The way the indicator works is that it calculates and identifies all levels from the list of levels type and timeframes above. The indicator then adds this level to a list of untapped levels. Then for each bar after, it checks if the level has been tapped. If the level has been tapped or a gap/range completely filled, this level is removed from the list so that the levels displayed in the end are only naked/untapped levels. Below is a descrition of each of the level types and how it is caluclated (algorithm): PIVOT Daily, Weekly and Monthly levels in trading refer to significant price points that traders monitor within the context of a single trading day. These levels can provide insights into market behavior and help traders make informed decisions regarding entry and exit points. Traders often use D/W/M levels to set entry and exit points for trades. For example, entering long positions near support (daily close) or selling near resistance (daily close). Daily levels are used to set stop-loss orders. Placing stops just below the daily close for long positions or above the daily close for short positions can help manage risk. The relationship between price movement and daily levels provides insights into market sentiment. For instance, if the price fails to break above the daily high, it may signify bearish sentiment, while a strong breakout can indicate bullish sentiment. The way these levels are calculated in this indicator is based on finding pivots in the chart on D/W/M timeframe. The level is then set to previous D/W/M close = current D/W/M open. In addition, when price is going up previous D/W/M open must be smaller than previous D/W/M close and current D/W/M close must be smaller than the current D/W/M open. When price is going down the opposite. POINT OF CONTROL The Point of Control (POC) is a key concept in volume profile analysis, which is commonly used in trading. It represents the price level at which the highest volume of trading occurred during a specific period. The POC is derived from the volume traded at various price levels over a defined time frame. In this indicator the timeframes are Daily, Weekly, and Montly. It identifies the price level where the most trades took place, indicating strong interest and activity from traders at that price. The POC often acts as a significant support or resistance level. If the price approaches the POC from above, it may act as a support level, while if approached from below, it can serve as a resistance level. Traders monitor the POC to gauge potential reversals or breakouts. The way the POC is calculated in this indicator is by an approximation by analysing intrabars for the respective timeperiod (D/W/M), assigning the volume for each intrabar into the price-bins that the intrabar covers and finally identifying the bin with the highest aggregated volume. The POC is the price in the middle of this bin. The indicator uses a sample space for intrabars on the Daily timeframe of 15 minutes, 35 minutes for the Weekly timeframe, and 140 minutes for the Monthly timeframe. The indicator has predefined the size of the bins to 0.2% of the price at the range low. That implies that the precision of the calulated POC og VAH/VAL is within 0.2%. This reduction of precision is a tradeoff for performance and speed of the indicator. This also implies that the bigger the difference from range high prices to range low prices the more bins the algorithm will iterate over. This is typically the case when calculating the monthly volume profile levels and especially high volatility assets such as alt coins. Sometimes the number of iterations becomes too big for Trading View to handle. In these cases the bin size will be increased even more to reduce the number of iterations. In such cases the bin size might increase by a factor of 2-3 decreasing the accuracy of the Volume Profile levels. Anyway, since these Volume Profile levels are approximations and since precision is traded for performance the user should consider the Volume profile levels(POC, VAH, VAL) as zones rather than pin point accurate levels. VALUE AREA HIGH/LOW STD1/STD2 The Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) are important concepts in volume profile analysis, helping traders understand price levels where the majority of trading activity occurs for a given period. The Value Area High/Low is the upper/lower boundary of the value area, representing the highest price level at which a certain percentage of the total trading volume occurred within a specified period. The VAH/VAL indicates the price point above/below which the majority of trading activity is considered less valuable. It can serve as a potential resistance/support level, as prices above/below this level may experience selling/buying pressure from traders who view the price as overvalued/undervalued In this indicator the timeframes are Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. This indicator provides two boundaries that can be selected in the menu. The first boundary is 70% of the total volume (=1 standard deviation from mean). The second boundary is 95% of the total volume (=2 standard deviation from mean). The way VAH/VAL is calculated is based on the same algorithm as for the POC. However instead of identifying the bin with the highest volume, we start from range low and sum up the volume for each bin until the aggregated volume = 30%/70% for VAL1/VAH1 and aggregated volume = 5%/95% for VAL2/VAH2. Then we simply set the VAL/VAH equal to the low of the respective bin. FAIR VALUE GAPS Fair Value Gaps (FVG) is a concept primarily used in technical analysis and price action trading, particularly within the context of futures and forex markets. They refer to areas on a price chart where there is a noticeable lack of trading activity, often highlighted by a significant price movement away from a previous level without trading occurring in between. FVGs represent price levels where the market has moved significantly without any meaningful trading occurring. This can be seen as a "gap" on the price chart, where the price jumps from one level to another, often due to a rapid market reaction to news, events, or other factors. These gaps typically appear when prices rise or fall quickly, creating a space on the chart where no transactions have taken place. For example, if a stock opens sharply higher and there are no trades at the prices in between the two levels, it creates a gap. The areas within these gaps can be areas of liquidity that the market may return to “fill” later on. FVGs highlight inefficiencies in pricing and can indicate areas where the market may correct itself. When the market moves rapidly, it may leave behind price levels that traders eventually revisit to establish fair value. Traders often watch for these gaps as potential reversal or continuation points. Many traders believe that price will eventually “fill” the gap, meaning it will return to those price levels, providing potential entry or exit points. This indicator calculate FVGs on three different timeframes, Daily, Weekly and Montly. In this indicator the FVGs are identified by looking for a three-candle pattern on a chart, signalling a discrete imbalance in order volume that prompts a quick price adjustment. These gaps reflect moments where the market sentiment strongly leans towards buying or selling yet lacks the opposite orders to maintain price stability. The indicator sets the gap to the difference from the high of the first bar to the low of the third bar when price is moving up or from the low of the first bar to the high of the third bar when price is moving down. CME GAPS (BTC only) CME gaps refer to price discrepancies that can occur in charts for futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). These gaps typically arise from the fact that many futures markets, including those on the CME, operate nearly 24 hours a day but may have significant price movements during periods when the market is closed. CME gaps occur when there is a difference between the closing price of a futures contract on one trading day and the opening price on the following trading day. This difference can create a "gap" on the price chart. Opening Gaps: These usually happen when the market opens significantly higher or lower than the previous day's close, often influenced by news, economic data releases, or other market events occurring during non-trading hours. Gaps can result from reactions to major announcements or developments, such as earnings reports, geopolitical events, or changes in economic indicators, leading to rapid price movements. The importance of CME Gaps in Trading is the potential for Filling Gaps: Many traders believe that prices often "fill" gaps, meaning that prices may return to the gap area to establish fair value. This can create potential trading opportunities based on the expectation of gap filling. Gaps can act as significant support or resistance levels. Traders monitor these levels to identify potential reversal points in price action. The way the gap is identified in this indicator is by checking if current open is higher than previous bar close when price is moving up or if current open is lower than previous day close when price is moving down. EQUILIBRIUM Equilibrium in finance and trading refers to a state where supply and demand in a market balance each other, resulting in stable prices. It is a key concept in various economic and trading contexts. Here’s a concise description: Market Equilibrium occurs when the quantity of a good or service supplied equals the quantity demanded at a specific price level. At this point, there is no inherent pressure for the price to change, as buyers and sellers are in agreement. Equilibrium Price is the price at which the market is in equilibrium. It reflects the point where the supply curve intersects the demand curve on a graph. At the equilibrium price, the market clears, meaning there are no surplus goods or shortages. In this indicator the equilibrium level is calculated simply by finding the midpoint of the Daily, Weekly, and Montly candles respectively. NOTES 1) Performance. The algorithms are quite resource intensive and the time it takes the indicator to calculate all the levels could be 5 seconds or more, depending on the number of bars in the chart and especially if Montly Volume Profile levels are selected (POC, VAH or VAL). 2) Levels displayed vs the selected chart timeframe. On a timeframe smaller than the daily TF - both Daily, Weekly, and Monthly levels will be displayed. On a timeframe bigger than the daily TF but smaller than the weekly TF - the Weekly and Monthly levels will be display but not the Daily levels. On a timeframe bigger than the weekly TF but smaller than the monthly TF - only the Monthly levels will be displayed. Not Daily and Weekly. CREDITS The core algorithm for calculating the POC levels is based on the indicator "Naked Intrabar POC" developed by rumpypumpydumpy (https:www.tradingview.com/u/rumpypumpydumpy/). The "Naked intrabar POC" indicator calculates the POC on the current chart timeframe. This indicator (Multiple Naked Levels) adds two new features: 1) It calculates the POC on three specific timeframes, the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly timeframes - not only the current chart timeframe. 2) It adds functionaly by calculating the VAL and VAH of the volume profile on the Daily, Weekly, Monthly timeframes .

Volume Forks [Trendoscope]🎲 Volume Forks - Advanced Price Analysis with Recursive Auto-Pitchfork and Angled Volume Profile The Volume Forks Indicator is a comprehensive research tool that combines two innovative techniques, Recursive Auto-Pitchfork and Angled Volume Profile . This indicator provides traders with valuable insights into price dynamics by integrating accurate pitchfork drawing and volume analysis over angled levels. The indicator does following things Detects Pitchfork formations automatically on the chart over Recursive Zigzag Instead of drawing forks based on fib levels, volume distribution over ABC of pitchfork is calculated and drawn in the direction of the handle. 🎲 Brief about Pitchfork Pitchfork is drawn when price forms ABC pattern. Pitchfork draws a series of parallel lines in the direction of trend which can be used for support and resistance. There are many methods of drawing pitchfork. In all cases, a line joining B​C  will make the base of pitchfork and fork lines are drawn from different points of the base. All the fork lines will be parallel. But, the handle of the base defines the direction of fork lines. Classification of pitchfork is mainly based on the starting and ending points of the handle. 🎲 Regular Types Here, end of the handle is always fixed and it will be the mid point of B and C. 🎯 Andrews Pitchfork Handle starts from A and joins the base at mid of B and C. Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle 🎯 Schiff Pitchfork Handle starts from Bar of A and price of middle of AB and joins the base at mid of B and C Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle 🎯 Modified Schiff Pitchfork Handle starts from mid of A and B and joins the base at mid of B and C Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle 🎲 Inside Types Here, C will act as end of the handle which joins the Base B​C . 🎯 Andrews Pitchfork (Inside) Handle starts from A and joins the base at C Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle 🎯 Schiff Pitchfork (Inside) Handle starts from Bar of A and price of (A+B)/2 and joins the base at C Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle 🎯 Modified Schiff Pitchfork (Inside) Handle starts from mid of A and B and joins the base at C Forks are drawn based on fib ratios from the handle 🎲 Brief about Pitchfork The Angled Volume Profile technique expands on the concept of volume profile by measuring volume distribution levels over angled levels rather than just horizontal levels. By selecting a starting point and angle interactively, traders can assess volume distribution within specific price trends. This feature is particularly useful for analysing volume dynamics in trending markets. 🎲 Settings Indicator settings include few things which determine the scanning of pitchforks and few which determines drawing of volume profile lines. Please note that, due to pine limitations of 500 lines, if there are too many formations on the chart, volume profile may not appear correctly. If that happens, please reduce the number of volume forks per formation.

Delta Volume Candles [LucF]█  OVERVIEW This indicator plots on-chart volume delta information using candles that can replace your normal candles, tops and bottoms appended to normal candles, optional MAs of those tops and bottoms levels, a divergence channel and a chart background. The indicator calculates volume delta using intrabar analysis, meaning that it uses the lower timeframe bars constituting each chart bar. █  CONCEPTS Volume Delta ​The ​volume delta concept divides a bar's ​volume in "up" and "down" ​volumes. The delta is calculated by subtracting down ​volume from up ​volume. Many calculation techniques exist to isolate up and down ​volume within a bar. The simplest use the polarity of interbar price changes to assign their ​volume to up or down slots, e.g., On Balance Volume or the Klinger Oscillator . Others such as Chaikin Money Flow use assumptions based on a bar's OHLC values. The most precise calculation method uses tick data and assigns the ​volume of each tick to the up or down slot depending on whether the transaction occurs at the bid or ask price. While this technique is ideal, it requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which considerably limits the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available. Furthermore, historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView. This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between the simplest and most precise methods of calculating ​volume delta. It is currently the most precise method usable on TradingView charts. TradingView's Volume Profile built-in indicators use it, as do the CVD - Cumulative ​Volume Delta Candles and CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta (Chart) indicators published from the TradingView account . My Delta Volume Channels and Volume Delta Columns Pro indicators also use intrabar analysis. Other ​volume delta indicators such as my Realtime 5D Profile use realtime chart updates to calculate volume delta without intrabar analysis, but that type of indicator only works in real time; they cannot calculate on historical bars. This is the logic I use to determine the polarity of intrabars, which determines the up or down slot where its ​volume is added:  • If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.  • If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.  • As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar, and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used. Once all intrabars making up a chart bar have been analyzed and the up or down property of each intrabar's ​volume determined, the up volumes are added, and the down volumes subtracted. The resulting value is ​volume delta for that chart bar, which can be used as an estimate of the buying/selling pressure on an instrument. Not all markets have volume information. Without it, this indicator is useless. Intrabar analysis Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. The timeframe used to access intrabars determines the number of intrabars accessible for each chart bar. On a 1H chart, each chart bar of an active market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour. This indicator automatically calculates an appropriate lower timeframe using the chart's timeframe and the settings you use in the script's "Intrabars" section of the inputs. As it can access lower timeframes as small as seconds when available, the indicator can be used on charts at relatively small timeframes such as 1min, provided the market is active enough to produce bars at second timeframes. The quantity of intrabars analyzed in each chart bar determines:  • The precision of calculations (more intrabars yield more precise results).  • The chart coverage of calculations (there is a 100K limit to the quantity of intrabars that can be analyzed on any chart,   so the more intrabars you analyze per chart bar, the less chart bars can be calculated by the indicator). The information box displayed at the bottom right of the chart shows the lower timeframe used for intrabars, as well as the average number of intrabars detected for chart bars and statistics on chart coverage. Balances This indicator calculates five balances from volume delta values. The balances are oscillators with a zero centerline; positive values are bullish, and negative values are bearish. It is important to understand the balances as they can be used to:  • Color candle bodies.  • Calculate body and top and bottom divergences.  • Color an EMA channel.  • Color the chart's background.  • Configure markers and alerts. The five balances are: 1 — Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the down volume​ from the up volume​ on the bar, so the instant volume delta for that bar. 2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the up and down volumes, and subtracts the down EMA from the up EMA.   The result is akin to MACD's histogram because it is the subtraction of two moving averages. 3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both up and down volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and   an SMA of twice the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the up side is subtracted from the difference for the down side,   and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale. 4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the up and down EMAs used in the "Average Balance".   From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant up and down volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.   If the bar's up volume​ does not exceed the EMA of up volume​, a zero value is used. The same goes for the down volume​ with the EMA of down volume​.   Once we have our two intermediate values for the up and down volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final value is an ALMA of that subtraction.   The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's up/down volume​ does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume​.   If both instant volume​ values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.   The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant up/down volumes and their respective MA.   This balance flatlines when the bar's up/down volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.   The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily it will flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones. 5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "Bar Balance" over the total volume for that bar. From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated: 1 — Marker Bias : This sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.   Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4. 2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5. The periods for all of these balances can be configured in the "Periods" section at the bottom of the script's inputs. As you cannot see the balances on the chart, you can use my Volume Delta Columns Pro indicator in a pane; it can plot the same balances, so you will be able to analyze them. Divergences In the context of this indicator, a divergence is any bar where the bear/bull state of a balance (above/below its zero centerline) diverges from the polarity of a chart bar. No directional bias is assigned to divergences when they occur. Candle bodies and tops/bottoms can each be colored differently on divergences detected from distinct balances. Divergence Channel The divergence channel is the space between two levels (by default, the bar's open and close ) saved when divergences occur. When price (by default the close ) has breached a channel and a new divergence occurs, a new channel is created. Until that new channel is breached, bars where additional divergences occur will expand the channel's levels if the bar's price points are outside the channel. Prices breaches of the divergence channel will change its state. Divergence channels can be in one of three different states:  • Bull (green): Price has breached the channel to the upside.  • Bear (red): Price has breached the channel to the downside.  • Neutral (gray): The channel has not yet been breached. █  HOW TO USE THE INDICATOR I do not make videos to explain how to use my indicators. I do, however, try hard to include in their description everything one needs to understand what they do. From there, it's up to you to explore and figure out if they can be useful in your trading practice. Communicating in videos what this description and the script's tooltips contain would make for very long videos that would likely exceed the attention span of most people who find this description too long. There is no quick way to understand an indicator such as this one because it uses many different concepts and has quite a bit of settings one can use to modify its visuals and behavior — thus how one uses it. I will happily answer questions on the inner workings of the indicator, but I do not answer questions like "How do I trade using this indicator?" A useful answer to that question would require an in-depth analysis of who you are, your trading methodology and objectives, which I do not have time for. I do not teach trading. Start by loading the indicator on an active chart containing volume information. See here if you need help. The default configuration displays:  • Normal candles where the bodies are only colored if the bar's volume has increased since the last bar.   If you want to use this indicator's candles, you may want to disable your chart's candles by clicking the eye icon to the right of the symbol's name in the top left of the chart.  • A top or bottom appended to the normal candles. It represents the difference between up and down volume for that bar   and is positioned at the top or bottom, depending on its polarity. If up volume is greater than down volume, a top is displayed. If down volume is greater, a bottom is plotted.   The size of tops and bottoms is determined by calculating a factor which is the proportion of volume delta over the bar's total volume.   That factor is then used to calculate the top or bottom size relative to a baseline of the average candle body size of the last 100 bars.  • An information box in the bottom right displaying intrabar and chart coverage information.  • A light red background when the intrabar volume differs from the chart's volume by more than 1%. The script's inputs contain tooltips explaining most of the fields. I will not repeat them here. Following is a brief description of each section of the indicator's inputs which will give you an idea of what the indicator can do: Normal Candles is where you configure the replacement candles plotted by the script. You can choose from different coloring schemes for their bodies and specify a unique color for bodies where a divergence calculated using the method you choose occurs. Volume Tops & Botttoms is where you configure the display of tops and bottoms, and their EMAs. The EMAs are calculated from the high point of tops and the low point of bottoms. They can act as a channel to evaluate price, and you can choose to color the channel using a gradient reflecting the advances/declines in the balance of your choice. Divergence Channel is where you set up the appearance and behavior of the divergence channel. These areas represent levels where price and volume delta information do not converge. They can be interpreted as regions with no clear direction from where one will look for breaches. You can configure the channel to take into account one or both types of divergences you have configured for candle bodies and tops/bottoms. Background allows you to configure a gradient background color that reflects the advances/declines in the balance of your choice. You can use this to provide context to the volume delta values from bars. You can also control the background color displayed on volume discrepancies between the intrabar and the chart's timeframe. Intrabars is where you choose the calculation mode determining the lower timeframe used to access intrabars. The indicator uses the chart's timeframe and the type of market you are on to calculate the lower timeframe. Your setting there should reflect which compromise you prefer between the precision of calculations and chart coverage. This is also where you control the display of the information box in the lower right corner of the chart. Markers allows you to control the plotting of chart markers on different conditions. Their configuration determines when alerts generated from the indicator will fire. Note that in order to generate alerts from this script, they must be created from your chart. See this Help Center page to learn how. Only the last 500 markers will be visible on the chart, but this will not affect the generation of alerts. Periods is where you configure the periods for the balances and the EMAs used in the indicator. The raw values calculated by this script can be inspected using the Data Window. █  INTERPRETATION Rightly or wrongly, volume delta is considered by many a useful complement to the interpretation of price action. I use it extensively in an attempt to find convergence between my read of volume delta and price movement — not so much as a predictor of future price movement. No system or person can predict the future. Accordingly, I consider people who speak or act as if they know the future with certainty to be dangerous to themselves and others; they are charlatans, imprudent or blissfully ignorant. I try to avoid elaborate volume delta interpretation schemes involving too many variables and prefer to keep things simple:  • Trends that have more chances of continuing should be accompanied by VD of the same polarity.   In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady". I work from the assumption that traders and systems often overreact, which translates into unproductive volatility.   Wild trends are more susceptible to overreactions.  • I prefer steady VD values over wildly increasing ones, as large VD increases often come with increased price volatility, which can backfire.   Large VD values caused by stopping volume will also often occur on trend reversals with abnormally high candles.  • Prices escaping divergence channels may be leading a trend in that direction, although there is no telling how long that trend will last; could be just a few bars or hundreds.   When price is in a channel, shifts in VD balances can sometimes give us an idea of the direction where price has the most chance of breaking.  • Dwindling VD will often indicate trend exhaustion and predate reversals by many bars, but the problem is that mere pauses in a trend will often produce the same behavior in VD.   I think it is too perilous to infer rigidly from VD decreases. Divergence Channel Here I have configured the divergence channels to be visible. First, I set the bodies to display divergences on the default Bar Balance. They are indicated by yellow bodies. Then I activated the divergence channels by choosing to draw levels on body divergences and checked the "Fill" checkbox to fill the channel with the same color as the levels. The divergence channel is best understood as a direction-less area from where a breach can be acted on if other variables converge with the breach's direction: Tops and Bottoms EMAs I find these EMAs rather interesting. They have no equivalent elsewhere, as they are calculated from the top and bottom values this indicator plots. The only similarity they have with volume-weighted MAs, including VWAP, is that they use price and volume. This indicator's Tops and Bottoms EMAs, however, use the price and volume delta. While the channel differs from other channels in how it is calculated, it can be used like others, as a baseline from which to evaluate price movement or, alternatively, as stop levels. Remember that you can change the period used for the EMAs in the "Periods" section of the inputs. This chart shows the EMAs in action, filled with a gradient representing the advances/decline from the Momentum balance. Notice the anomaly in the chart's latest bars where the Momentum balance gradient has been indicating a bullish bias for some time, during which price was mostly below the EMAs. Price has just broken above the channel on positive VD. My interpretation of this situation would be that it is a risky opportunity for a long trade in the larger context where the market has been in a downtrend since the 5th. Intrepid traders choosing to enter here could do so with a "make or break" tight stop that will minimize their losses should the market continue its downtrend while hopefully preserving the potential upside of price continuing on the longer-term uptrend prevalent since the 28th: █  NOTES Volume If you use indicators such as this one which depends on volume information, it is important to realize that the volume data they consume comes from data feeds, and that all data feeds are NOT created equally. Those who create the data feeds we use must make decisions concerning the nature of the transactions they tally and the way they are tallied in each feed, and these decisions affect the nature of our volume data. My Volume X-ray publication discusses some of the reasons why volume information from different timeframes, brokers/exchanges or sectors may vary considerably. I encourage you to read it. This indicator's display of a warning through a background color on volume discrepancies between the timeframe used to access intrabars and the chart's timeframe is an attempt to help you realize these variations in feeds. Don't take things for granted, and understand that the quality of a given feed's volume information affects the quality of the results this indicator calculates. Markets as ecosystems I believe it is perilous to think that behavioral patterns you discover in one market through the lens of this or any other indicator will necessarily port to other markets. While this may sometimes be the case, it will often not. Why is that? Because each market is its own ecosystem. As cities do, all markets share some common characteristics, but they also all have their idiosyncrasies. A proportion of a city's inhabitants is always composed of outsiders who come and go, but a core population of regulars and systems is usually the force that actually defines most of the city's observable characteristics. I believe markets work somewhat the same way; they may look the same, but if you live there for a while and pay attention, you will notice the idiosyncrasies. Some things that work in some markets will, accordingly, not work in others. Please keep that in mind when you draw conclusions. On Up/Down or Buy/Sell Volume Buying or selling volume are misnomers, as every unit of volume transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities. 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, just as when buy market orders take out limit ask orders in the order book at successively higher levels. The built-in volume indicator available on TradingView uses this logic to color the volume columns green or red. While this script’s calculations are more precise because it analyses intrabars to calculate its information, it uses pretty much the same imperfect logic. Until Pine scripts can have access to how much volume was transacted at the bid/ask prices, our volume delta calculations will remain a mere proxy. Repainting  • The values calculated on the realtime bar will update as new information comes from the feed.  • Historical values may recalculate if the historical feed is updated or when calculations start from a new point in history.  • Markers and alerts will not repaint as they only occur on a bar's close. Keep this in mind when viewing markers on historical bars,   where one could understandably and incorrectly assume they appear at the bar's open. To learn more about repainting, see the Pine Script™ User Manual's page on the subject . Superfluity In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display a lot of information. The inevitable adaptation period you will need to figure out how to use it should help you eliminate all the visuals you do not need. The more you eliminate, the easier it will be to focus on those that are the most useful to your trading practice. Don't be a fool. █  THANKS Thanks to alexgrover for his Dekidaka-Ashi indicator.

Lockin Strength Indicator (LSI)How It Works: RSI Calculation: The standard RSI is calculated using a 14-period by default. Volume Weighting: If enabled, the LSI modifies the RSI by weighting it based on the volume relative to its moving average. This emphasizes periods of high or low volume, which can be particularly useful for Solana-based assets that might have unique volume profiles. Plotting: The LSI is plotted with standard overbought and oversold levels, and background highlighting makes these areas visually distinct. Customization: RSI Length: You can adjust the length of the RSI period. Overbought/Oversold Levels: You can modify the levels for overbought and oversold signals. Volume Weighting: You can toggle volume weighting on or off. This indicator is designed to give you a more nuanced view of Solana cryptocurrencies by combining RSI with volume dynamics.

CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta Candles█   OVERVIEW This indicator displays cumulative ​volume delta in candle form. It uses intrabar information to obtain more precise ​volume delta information than methods using only the chart's timeframe. █   CONCEPTS Bar polarity By bar polarity , we mean the direction of a bar, which is determined by looking at the bar's close vs its open . Intrabars Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. Each 1H chart bar of a 24x7 market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour. Mining information from intrabars can be useful in that it offers traders visibility on the activity inside a chart bar. Lower timeframes (LTFs) A lower timeframe is a timeframe that is smaller than the chart's timeframe. This script uses a ​LTF to access intrabars. The lower the ​LTF, the more intrabars are analyzed, but the less chart bars can display ​CVD information because there is a limit to the total number of intrabars that can be analyzed. Volume delta The ​volume delta concept divides a bar's ​volume in "up" and "down" ​volumes. The delta is calculated by subtracting down ​volume from up ​volume. Many calculation techniques exist to isolate up and down ​volume within a bar. The simplest techniques use the polarity of interbar price changes to assign their ​volume to up or down slots, e.g., On Balance Volume or the Klinger Oscillator . Others such as Chaikin Money Flow use assumptions based on a bar's OHLC values. The most precise calculation method uses tick data and assigns the ​volume of each tick to the up or down slot depending on whether the transaction occurs at the bid or ask price. While this technique is ideal, it requires huge amounts of data on historical bars, which usually limits the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available. This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between the simplest and most precise methods of calculating ​volume delta. In the context where historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView, intrabar analysis is the most precise technique to calculate ​volume delta on historical bars on our charts. Our Volume Profile indicators use it. Other ​volume delta indicators in our Community Scripts such as the Realtime 5D Profile use realtime chart updates to achieve more precise ​volume delta calculations, but that method cannot be used on historical bars, so those indicators only work in real time. This is the logic we use to assign intrabar ​volume to up or down slots:  • If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.  • If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.  • As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used. Once all intrabars making up a chart bar have been analyzed and the up or down property of each intrabar's ​volume determined, the up volumes are added and the down volumes subtracted. The resulting value is ​volume delta for that chart bar. █   FEATURES CVD Candles Cumulative ​Volume Delta Candles present ​volume delta information as it evolves during a period of time. This is how each candle's levels are calculated:  • open : Each candle's' open level is the cumulative ​volume delta for the current period at the start of the bar.   This value becomes zero on the first candle following a ​CVD reset.   The candles after the first one always open where the previous candle closed.   The candle's high, low and close levels are then calculated by adding or subtracting a ​volume value to the open.  • high : The highest ​​volume delta value found in intrabars. If it is not higher than the ​volume delta for the bar, then that candle will have no upper wick.  • low : The lowest ​​volume delta value found in intrabars. If it is not lower than the ​volume delta for the bar, then that candle will have no lower wick.  • close : The aggregated ​volume delta for all intrabars. If ​volume delta is positive for the chart bar, then the candle's close will be higher than its open, and vice versa. The candles are plotted in one of two configurable colors, depending on the polarity of ​volume delta for the bar. CVD resets The "cumulative" part of the indicator's name stems from the fact that calculations accumulate during a period of time. This allows you to analyze the progression of ​volume delta across manageable chunks, which is often more useful than looking at ​volume delta cumulated from the beginning of a chart's history. You can configure the reset period using the "CVD Resets" input, which offers the following selections:  • None : Calculations do not reset.  • On a fixed higher timeframe : Calculations reset on the higher timeframe you select in the "Fixed higher timeframe" field.  • At a fixed time that you specify.  • At the beginning of the regular session .  • On a stepped higher timeframe : Calculations reset on a higher timeframe automatically stepped using the chart's timeframe and following these rules: Chart TF ​HTF < 1min 1H < 3H 1D <= 12H 1W < 1W 1M >= 1W 1Y The indicator's background shows where resets occur. Intrabar precision The precision of calculations increases with the number of intrabars analyzed for each chart bar. It is controlled through the script's "Intrabar precision" input, which offers the following selections:  • Least precise, covering many chart bars  • Less precise, covering some chart bars  • More precise, covering less chart bars  • Most precise, 1min intrabars As there is a limit to the number of intrabars that can be analyzed by a script, a tradeoff occurs between the number of intrabars analyzed per chart bar and the chart bars for which calculations are possible. Total ​volume candles You can choose to display candles showing the total intrabar ​volume for the chart bar. This provides you with more context to evaluate a bar's ​volume delta by showing it relative to the sum of intrabar ​volume. Note that because of the reasons explained in the "NOTES" section further down, the total ​volume is the sum of all intrabar ​​volume rather than the ​volume of the bar at the chart's timeframe. Total ​volume candles can be configured with their own up and down colors. You can also control the opacity of their bodies to make them more or less prominent. This publication's chart shows the indicator with total ​volume candles. They are turned off by default, so you will need to choose to display them in the script's inputs for them to plot. Divergences Divergences occur when the polarity of ​volume delta does not match that of the chart bar. You can identify divergences by coloring the ​CVD candles differently for them, or by coloring the indicator's background. Information box An information box in the lower-left corner of the indicator displays the HTF used for resets, the ​LTF used for intrabars, and the average quantity of intrabars per chart bar. You can hide the box using the script's inputs. █   INTERPRETATION The first thing to look at when analyzing ​CVD candles is the side of the zero line they are on, as this tells you if ​CVD is generally ​bullish or ​bearish. Next, one should consider the relative position of successive candles, just as you would with a price chart. Are successive candles trending up, down, or stagnating? Keep in mind that whatever trend you identify must be considered in the context of where it appears with regards to the zero line; an uptrend in a negative ​CVD (below the zero line) may not be as powerful as one taking place in positive ​CVD values, but it may also predate a movement into positive ​CVD territory. The same goes with stagnation; a trader in a long position will find stagnation in positive ​CVD territory less worrisome than stagnation under the zero line. After consideration of the bigger picture, one can drill down into the details. Exactly what you are looking for in markets will, of course, depend on your trading methodology, but you may find it useful to:   • Evaluate ​volume delta for the bar in relation to price movement for that bar.   • Evaluate the proportion that ​​volume delta represents of total ​volume.   • Notice divergences and if the chart's candle shape confirms a hesitation point, as a Doji would.   • Evaluate if the progress of ​CVD candles correlates with that of chart bars.   • Analyze the wicks. As with price candles, long wicks tend to indicate weakness. Always keep in mind that unless you have chosen not to reset it, your ​CVD resets for each period, whether it is fixed or automatically stepped. Consequently, any trend from the preceding period must re-establish itself in the next. █   NOTES Know your volume Traders using ​volume information should understand the ​volume data they are using: where it originates and what transactions it includes, as this can vary with instruments, sectors, exchanges, timeframes, and between historical and realtime bars. The information used to build a chart's bars and display ​volume comes from data providers (exchanges, brokers, etc.) who often maintain distinct feeds for intraday and ​end-of-day (​EOD) timeframes. How ​volume data is assembled for the two feeds depends on how instruments are traded in that sector and/or the ​volume reporting policy for each feed. Instruments from crypto and forex markets, for example, will often display similar ​volume on both feeds. Stocks will often display variations because block trades or other types of trades may not be included in their intraday ​volume data. ​Futures will also typically display variations. Note that as intraday vs ​EOD variations exist for historical bars on some instruments, differences may also exist between the realtime feeds used on intraday vs 1D or greater timeframes for those same assets. Realtime reporting rules will often be different from historical feed reporting rules, so variations between realtime feeds will often be different from the variations between historical feeds for the same instrument. The Volume X-ray indicator can help you analyze differences between intraday and ​EOD ​volumes for the instruments you trade. If every unit of ​volume is both bought by a buyer and sold by a seller, how can ​volume delta make sense? Traders who do not understand the mechanics of matching engines (the exchange software that matches orders from buyers and sellers) sometimes argue that the concept of ​volume delta is flawed, as every unit of ​volume is both bought and sold. While they are rigorously correct in stating that every unit of ​volume is both bought and sold, they overlook the fact that information can be mined by analyzing variations in the price of successive ticks, or in our case, intrabars. Our calculations model the situation where, in fully automated order handling, market orders are generally matched to limit orders sitting in the order book. Buy market orders are matched to quotes at the ask level and sell market orders are matched to quotes at the bid level. As explained earlier, we use the same logic when comparing intrabar prices. While using intrabar analysis does not produce results as precise as when individual transactions — or ticks — are analyzed, results are much more precise than those of methods using only chart prices. Not only does the concept underlying ​volume delta make sense, it provides a window on an oft-overlooked variable which, with price and time, is the only basic information representing market activity. Furthermore, because the calculation of ​volume delta also uses price and time variations, one could conceivably surmise that it can provide a more complete model than ones using price and time only. Whether or not ​volume delta can be useful in your trading practice, as usual, is for you to decide, as each trader's methodology is different. For Pine Script™ coders As our latest Polarity Divergences publication, this script uses the recently released request.security_lower_tf() Pine Script™ function discussed in this blog post . It works differently from the usual request.security() in that it can only be used at LTFs, and it returns an array containing one value per intrabar. This makes it much easier for programmers to access intrabar information. Look first. Then leap.

Delta Volume Columns Pro [LucF]█  OVERVIEW This indicator displays volume​​ delta information calculated with intrabar inspection on historical bars, and feed updates when running in realtime. It is designed to run in a pane and can display either stacked buy/sell volume​ columns or a signal line which can be calculated and displayed in many different ways. Five different models are offered to reveal different characteristics of the calculated volume​ delta information. Many options are offered to visualize the calculations, giving you much leeway in morphing the indicator's visuals to suit your needs. If you value delta volume​ information, I hope you will find the time required to master Delta Volume​ Columns Pro well worth the investment. I am confident that if you combine a proper understanding of the indicator's information with an intimate knowledge of the volume​ idiosyncrasies on the markets you trade, you can extract useful market intelligence using this tool. █  WARNINGS 1. The indicator only works on markets where volume​ information is available,   Please validate that your symbol's feed carries volume​ information before asking me why the indicator doesn't plot values. 2. When you refresh your chart or re-execute the script on the chart, the indicator will repaint because elapsed realtime bars will then recalculate as historical bars. 3. Because the indicator uses different modes of calculation on historical and realtime bars, it's critical that you understand the differences between them. Details are provided further down. 4. Calculations using intrabar inspection on historical bars can only be done from some chart timeframes. See further down for a list of supported timeframes.   If the chart's timeframe is not supported, no historical volume​ delta will display. █  CONCEPTS Chart bars Three different types of bars are used in charts:  1. Historical bars are bars that have already closed when the script executes on them.  2. The realtime bar is the current, incomplete bar where a script is running on an open market. There is only one active realtime bar on your chart at any given time.    The realtime bar is where alerts trigger.  3. Elapsed realtime bars are bars that were calculated when they were realtime bars but have since closed.    When a script re-executes on a chart because the browser tab is refreshed or some of its inputs are changed, elapsed realtime bars are recalculated as historical bars. Why does this indicator use two modes of calculation? Historical bars on TradingView charts contain OHLCV data only, which is insufficient to calculate volume​ delta on them with any level of precision. To mine more detailed information from those bars we look at intrabars , i.e., bars from a smaller timeframe (we call it the intrabar timeframe ) that are contained in one chart bar. If your chart Is running at 1D on a 24x7 market for example, most 1D chart bars will contain 24 underlying 1H bars in their dilation. On historical bars, this indicator looks at those intrabars to amass volume​ delta information. If the intrabar is up, its volume​ goes in the Buy bin, and inversely for the Sell bin. When price does not move on an intrabar, the polarity of the last known movement is used to determine in which bin its volume​ goes. In realtime, we have access to price and volume​ change for each update of the chart. Because a 1D chart bar can be updated tens of thousands of times during the day, volume​ delta calculations on those updates is much more precise. This precision, however, comes at a price:  — The script must be running on the chart for it to keep calculating in realtime.  — If you refresh your chart you will lose all accumulated realtime calculations on elapsed realtime bars, and the realtime bar.   Elapsed realtime bars will recalculate as historical bars, i.e., using intrabar inspection, and the realtime bar's calculations will reset.   When the script recalculates elapsed realtime bars as historical bars, the values on those bars will change, which means the script repaints in those conditions.  — When the indicator first calculates on a chart containing an incomplete realtime bar, it will count ALL the existing volume​ on the bar as Buy or Sell volume​,   depending on the polarity of the bar at that point. This will skew calculations for that first bar. Scripts have no access to the history of a realtime bar's previous updates,   and intrabar inspection cannot be used on realtime bars, so this is the only to go about this.  — Even if alerts only trigger upon confirmation of their conditions after the realtime bar closes, they are repainting alerts   because they would perhaps not have calculated the same way using intrabar inspection.  — On markets like stocks that often have different EOD​ and intraday feeds and volume​ information,   the volume's scale may not be the same for the realtime bar if your chart is at 1D, for example,   and the indicator is using an intraday timeframe to calculate on historical bars.  — Any chart timeframe can be used in realtime mode, but plots that include moving averages in their calculations may require many elapsed realtime bars before they can calculate.   You might prefer drastically reducing the periods of the moving averages, or using the volume​ columns mode, which displays instant values, instead of the line. Volume Delta Balances This indicator uses a variety of methods to evaluate five volume​ delta balances and derive other values from those balances. The five balances are: 1 — On Bar Balance : This is the only balance using instant values; it is simply the subtraction of the Sell volume​ from the Buy volume​ on the bar. 2 — Average Balance : Calculates a distinct EMA for both the Buy and Sell volumes, and subtracts the Sell EMA from the Buy EMA. 3 — Momentum Balance : Starts by calculating, separately for both Buy and Sell volumes, the difference between the same EMAs used in "Average Balance" and   an SMA of double the period used for the "Average Balance" EMAs. The difference for the Sell side is subtracted from the difference for the Buy side,   and an RSI of that value is calculated and brought over the −50/+50 scale. 4 — Relative Balance : The reference values used in the calculation are the Buy and Sell EMAs used in the "Average Balance".   From those, we calculate two intermediate values using how much the instant Buy and Sell volumes on the bar exceed their respective EMA — but with a twist.   If the bar's Buy volume​ does not exceed the EMA of Buy volume​, a zero value is used. The same goes for the Sell volume​ with the EMA of Sell volume​.   Once we have our two intermediate values for the Buy and Sell volumes exceeding their respective MA, we subtract them. The final "Relative Balance" value is an ALMA of that subtraction.   The rationale behind using zero values when the bar's Buy/Sell volume​ does not exceed its EMA is to only take into account the more significant volume​.   If both instant volume​ values exceed their MA, then the difference between the two is the signal's value.   The signal is called "relative" because the intermediate values are the difference between the instant Buy/Sell volumes and their respective MA.   This balance flatlines when the bar's Buy/Sell volumes do not exceed their EMAs, which makes it useful to spot areas where trader interest dwindles, such as consolidations.   The smaller the period of the final value's ALMA, the more easily you will see the balance flatline. These flat zones should be considered no-trade zones. 5 — Percent Balance : This balance is the ALMA of the ratio of the "On Bar Balance" value, i.e., the volume​ delta balance on the bar (which can be positive or negative),   over the total volume for that bar. From the balances and marker conditions, two more values are calculated: 1 — Marker Bias : It sums the up/down (+1/‒1) occurrences of the markers 1 to 4 over a period you define, so it ranges from −4 to +4, times the period.   Its calculation will depend on the modes used to calculate markers 3 and 4. 2 — Combined Balances : This is the sum of the bull/bear (+1/−1) states of each of the five balances, so it ranges from −5 to +5. █  FEATURES The indicator has two main modes of operation: Columns and Line . Columns • In Columns mode you can display stacked Buy/Sell volume​ columns. • The buy section always appears above the centerline, the sell section below. • The top and bottom sections can be colored independently using eight different methods. • The EMAs of the Buy/Sell values can be displayed (these are the same EMAs used to calculate the "Average Balance"). Line • Displays one of seven signals: the five balances or one of two complementary values, i.e., the "Marker Bias" or the "Combined Balances". • You can color the line and its fill using independent calculation modes to pack more information in the display.  You can thus appraise the state of 3 different values using the line itself, its color and the color of its fill. • A "Divergence Levels" feature will use the line to automatically draw expanding levels on divergence events. Default settings Using the indicator's default settings, this is the information displayed: • The line is calculated on the "Average Balance". • The line's color is determined by the bull/bear state of the "Percent Balance". • The line's fill gradient is determined by the advances/declines of the "Momentum Balance". • The orange divergence dots are calculated using discrepancies between the polarity of the "On Bar Balance" and the chart's bar. • The divergence levels are determined using the line's level when a divergence occurs. • The background's fill gradient is calculated on advances/declines of the "Marker Bias". • The chart bars are colored using advances/declines of the "Relative Balance". Divergences are shown in orange. • The intrabar timeframe is automatically determined from the chart's timeframe so that a minimum of 50 intrabars are used to calculate volume​ delta on historical bars. Alerts The configuration of the marker conditions explained further is what determines the conditions that will trigger alerts created from this script. Note that simply selecting the display of markers does not create alerts. To create an alert on this script, you must use ALT-A from the chart. You can create multiple alerts triggering on different conditions from this same script; simply configure the markers so they define the trigger conditions for each alert before creating the alert. The configuration of the script's inputs is saved with the alert, so from then on you can change them without affecting the alert. Alert messages will mention the marker(s) that triggered the specific alert event. Keep in mind, when creating alerts on small chart timeframes, that discrepancies between alert triggers and markers displayed on your chart are to be expected. This is because the alert and your chart are running two distinct instances of the indicator on different servers and different feeds. Also keep in mind that while alerts only trigger on confirmed conditions, they are calculated using realtime calculation mode, which entails that if you refresh your chart and elapsed realtime bars recalculate as historical bars using intrabar inspection, markers will not appear in the same places they appeared in realtime. So it's important to understand that even though the alert conditions are confirmed when they trigger, these alerts will repaint. Let's go through the sections of the script's inputs. Columns The size of the Buy/Sell columns always represents their respective importance on the bar, but the coloring mode for tops and bottoms is independent. The default setup uses a standard coloring mode where the Buy/Sell columns are always in the bull/bear color with a higher intensity for the winning side. Seven other coloring modes allow you to pack more information in the columns. When choosing to color the top columns using a bull/bear gradient on "Average Balance", for example, you will have bull/bear colored tops. In order for the color of the bottom columns to continue to show the instant bar balance, you can then choose the "On Bar Balance — Dual Solid Colors" coloring mode to make those bars the color of the winning side for that bar. You can display the averages of the Buy and Sell columns. If you do, its coloring is controlled through the "Line" and "Line fill" sections below. Line and Line fill You can select the calculation mode and the thickness of the line, and independent calculations to determine the line's color and fill. Zero Line The zero line can display dots when all five balances are bull/bear. Divergences You first select the detection mode. Divergences occur whenever the up/down direction of the signal does not match the up/down polarity of the bar. Divergences are used in three components of the indicator's visuals: the orange dot, colored chart bars, and to calculate the divergence levels on the line. The divergence levels are dynamic levels that automatically build from the line's values on divergence events. On consecutive divergences, the levels will expand, creating a channel. This implementation of the divergence levels corresponds to my view that divergences indicate anomalies, hesitations, points of uncertainty if you will. It precludes any attempt to identify a directional bias to divergences. Accordingly, the levels merely take note of divergence events and mark those points in time with levels. Traders then have a reference point from which they can evaluate further movement. The bull/bear/neutral colors used to plot the levels are also congruent with this view in that they are determined by the line's position relative to the levels, which is how I think divergences can be put to the most effective use. One of the coloring modes for the line's fill uses advances/declines in the line after divergence events. Background The background can show a bull/bear gradient on six different calculations. As with other gradients, you can adjust its brightness to make its importance proportional to how you use it in your analysis. Chart bars Chart bars can be colored using seven different methods. You have the option of emptying the body of bars where volume​ does not increase, as does my TLD indicator, and you can choose whether you want to show divergences. Intrabar Timeframe This is the intrabar timeframe that will be used to calculate volume​ delta using intrabar inspection on historical bars. You can choose between four modes. The three "Auto-steps" modes calculate, from the chart's timeframe, the intrabar timeframe where the said number of intrabars will make up the dilation of chart bars. Adjustments are made for non-24x7 markets. "Fixed" mode allows you to select the intrabar timeframe you want. Checking the "Show TF" box will display in the lower-right corner the intrabar timeframe used at any given moment. The proper selection of the intrabar timeframe is important. It must achieve maximal granularity to produce precise results while not unduly slowing down calculations, or worse, causing runtime errors. Note that historical depth will vary with the intrabar timeframe. The smaller the timeframe, the shallower historical plots you will be. Markers Markers appear when the required condition has been confirmed on a closed bar. The configuration of the markers when you create an alert is what determines when the alert will trigger. Five markers are available: • Balances Agreement : All five balances are either bullish​ or bearish​. • Double Bumps : A double bump is two consecutive up/down bars with +/‒ volume​​ delta, and rising Buy/Sell volume​ above its average. • Divergence confirmations : A divergence is confirmed up/down when the chosen balance is up/down on the previous bar when that bar was down/up, and this bar is up/down. • Balance Shifts : These are bull/bear transitions of the selected signal. • Marker Bias Shifts : Marker bias shifts occur when it crosses into bull/bear territory. Periods Allows control over the periods of the different moving averages used to calculate the balances. Volume​ Discrepancies Stock exchanges do not report the same volume​ for intraday and daily (or higher) resolutions. Other variations in how volume​ information is reported can also occur in other markets, namely Forex, where volume​ irregularities can even occur between different intraday timeframes. This will cause discrepancies between the total volume​ on the bar at the chart's timeframe, and the total volume​​ calculated by adding the volume​​ of the intrabars in that bar's dilation. This does not necessarily invalidate the volume​​ delta information calculated from intrabars, but it tells us that we are using partial volume​ data. A mechanism to detect chart vs intrabar timeframe volume​​ discrepancies is provided. It allows you to define a threshold percentage above which the background will indicate a difference has been detected. Other Settings You can control here the display of the gray dot reminder on realtime bars, and the display of error messages if you are using a chart timeframe that is not greater than the fixed intrabar timeframe, when you use that mode. Disabling the message can be useful if you only use realtime mode at chart timeframes that do not support intrabar inspection. █  RAMBLINGS On Volume​ Delta Volume​ is arguably the best complement to interpret price action, and I consider volume​ delta to be the most effective way of processing volume​ information. In periods of low-volatility price consolidations, volume​ will typically also be lower than normal, but slight imbalances in the trend of the buy/sell volume​ balance can sometimes help put early odds on the direction of the break from consolidation. Additionally, the progression of the volume​ imbalance can help determine the proximity of the breakout. I also find volume​ delta and the number of divergences very useful to evaluate the strength of trends. In trends, I am looking for "slow and steady", i.e., relatively low volatility​ and pauses where price action doesn't look like world affairs are being reassessed. In my personal mythology, this type of trend is often more resilient than high-volatility breakouts, especially when volume​ balance confirms the general agreement of traders signaled by the low-volatility usually accompanying this type of trend. The volume​ action on pauses will often help me decide between aggressively taking profits, tightening a stop or going for a longer-term movement. As for reversals, they generally occur in high-volatility areas where entering trades is more expensive and riskier. While the identification of counter-trend reversals fascinates many traders to no end, they represent poor opportunities in my view. Volume​ imbalances often precede reversals, but I prefer to use volume​ delta information to identify the areas following reversals where I can confirm them and make relatively low-cost entries with better odds. On "Buy/Sell" Volume Buying or selling volume​ are misnomers, as every unit of volume​ transacted is both bought and sold by two different traders. While this does not keep me from using the terms, there is no such thing as “buy only” or “sell only” volume​. Trader lingo is riddled with peculiarities. Divergences The divergence detection method used here relies on a difference between the direction of a signal and the polarity (up/down) of a chart bar. When using the default "On Bar Balance" to detect divergences, however, only the bar's volume​ delta is used. You may wonder how there can be divergences between buying/selling volume​ information and price movement on one bar. This will sometimes be due to the calculation's shortcomings, 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. To your pattern-hungry brain, the divergences displayed by this indicator will — as they do on other indicators — appear to often indicate turnarounds. My opinion is that reality is generally quite sobering and I have no reliable information that would tend to prove otherwise. Exercise caution when using them. Consequently, I do not share the overwhelming enthusiasm of traders in identifying bullish​/bearish​ divergences. For me, the best course of action when a divergence occurs is to wait and see what happens from there. That is the rationale underlying how my divergence levels work; they take note of a signal's level when a divergence occurs, and it's the signal's behavior from that point on that determines if the post-divergence action is bullish​/bearish​. Superfluity In "The Bed of Procrustes", Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes: To bankrupt a fool, give him information . This indicator can display lots of information. While learning to use a new indicator inevitably requires an adaptation period where we put it through its paces and try out all its options, once you have become used to it and decide to adopt it, rigorously eliminate the components you don't use and configure the remaining ones so their visual prominence reflects their relative importance in your analysis. I tried to provide flexible options for traders to control this indicator's visuals for that exact reason — not for window dressing. █  LIMITATIONS • This script uses a special characteristic of the `security()` function allowing the inspection of intrabars — which is not officially supported by TradingView.  It has the advantage of permitting a more robust calculation of volume​ delta than other methods on historical bars, but also has its limits. • Intrabar inspection only works on some chart timeframes: 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month.  The script’s code can be modified to run on other resolutions. • When the difference between the chart’s timeframe and the intrabar timeframe is too great, runtime errors will occur. The Auto-Steps selection mechanisms should avoid this. • All volume​ is not created equally. Its source, components, quality and reliability will vary considerably with sectors and instruments.  The higher the quality, the more reliably volume​ delta information can be used to guide your decisions.  You should make it your responsibility to understand the volume​ information provided in the data feeds you use. It will help you make the most of volume​ delta. █  NOTES For traders • The Data Window shows key values for the indicator. • While this indicator displays some of the same information calculated in my Delta Volume Columns ,  I have elected to make it a separate publication so that traders continue to have a simpler alternative available to them. Both code bases will continue to evolve separately. • All gradients used in this indicator determine their brightness intensities using advances/declines in the signal—not their relative position in a pre-determined scale. • Volume​ delta being relative, by nature, it is particularly well-suited to Forex markets, as it filters out quite elegantly the cyclical volume​ data characterizing the sector. If you are interested in volume​ delta, consider having a look at my other "Delta Volume" indicators: • Delta Volume Realtime Action displays realtime volume​ delta and tick information on the chart. • Delta Volume Candles builds volume​​ delta candles on the chart. • Delta Volume Columns is a simpler version of this indicator. For coders • I use the `f_c_gradientRelativePro()` from the PineCoders Color Gradient Framework to build my gradients.  This function has the advantage of allowing begin/end colors for both the bull and bear colors. It also allows us to define the number of steps allowed for each gradient.  I use this to modulate the gradients so they perform optimally on the combination of the signal used to calculate advances/declines,  but also the nature of the visual component the gradient applies to. I use fewer steps for choppy signals and when the gradient is used on discrete visual components  such as volume​ columns or chart bars. • I use the PineCoders Coding Conventions for Pine to write my scripts. • I used functions modified from the PineCoders MTF Selection Framework for the selection of timeframes. █  THANKS TO: — The devs from TradingView's Pine and other teams, and the PineCoders who collaborate with them. They are doing amazing work,  and much of what this indicator does could not be done without their recent improvements to Pine. — A guy called Kuan who commented on a Backtest Rookies presentation of their Volume Profile indicator using a `for` loop.  This indicator started from the intrabar inspection technique illustrated in Kuan's snippet. — theheirophant , my partner in the exploration of the sometimes weird abysses of `security()`’s behavior at intrabar timeframes. — midtownsk8rguy , my brilliant companion in mining the depths of Pine graphics.

CVD - Cumulative Volume Delta (Chart)█   OVERVIEW This indicator displays cumulative ​volume delta (​CVD) as an on-chart oscillator. It uses intrabar analysis to obtain more precise ​volume delta information compared to methods that only use the chart's timeframe. The core concepts in this script come from our first ​ CVD indicator , which displays CVD​ values as plot candles in a separate indicator pane. In this script, CV​D values are scaled according to price ranges and represented on the main chart pane. █   CONCEPTS Bar polarity Bar polarity refers to the position of the close price relative to the open price. In other words, bar polarity is the direction of price change. Intrabars Intrabars are chart bars at a lower timeframe than the chart's. Each 1H chart bar of a 24x7 market will, for example, usually contain 60 bars at the lower timeframe of 1min, provided there was market activity during each minute of the hour. Mining information from intrabars can be useful in that it offers traders visibility on the activity inside a chart bar. Lower timeframes (LTFs) A lower timeframe is a timeframe that is smaller than the chart's timeframe. This script utilizes a LTF to analyze intrabars, or price changes within a chart bar. The lower the ​LTF, the more intrabars are analyzed, but the less chart bars can display information due to the limited number of intrabars that can be analyzed. Volume delta Volume delta is a measure that separates ​volume​ into "up" and "down" parts, then takes the difference to estimate the net demand for the asset. This approach gives traders a more detailed insight when analyzing volume​ and market sentiment. There are several methods for determining whether an asset's volume​ belongs in the "up" or "down" category. Some indicators, such as On Balance Volume​ and the Klinger Oscillator , use the change in price between bars to assign ​volume​ values to the appropriate category. Others, such as Chaikin Money Flow , make assumptions based on open, high, low, and close prices. The most accurate method involves using tick data to determine whether each transaction occurred at the bid or ask price and assigning the ​volume​ value to the appropriate category accordingly. However, this method requires a large amount of data on historical bars, which can limit the historical depth of charts and the number of symbols for which tick data is available. In the context where historical tick data is not yet available on TradingView, intrabar analysis is the most precise technique to calculate ​volume delta on historical bars on our charts. This indicator uses intrabar analysis to achieve a compromise between simplicity and accuracy in calculating ​volume delta on historical bars. Our Volume Profile indicators use it as well. Other ​volume delta indicators in our Community Scripts , such as the Realtime 5D Profile , use real-time chart updates to achieve more precise ​volume delta calculations. However, these indicators aren't suitable for analyzing historical bars since they only work for real-time analysis. This is the logic we use to assign intrabar ​volume to the "up" or "down" category:  • If the intrabar's open and close values are different, their relative position is used.  • If the intrabar's open and close values are the same, the difference between the intrabar's close and the previous intrabar's close is used.  • As a last resort, when there is no movement during an intrabar and it closes at the same price as the previous intrabar, the last known polarity is used. Once all intrabars comprising a chart bar are analyzed, we calculate the net difference between "up" and "down" intrabar volume​ to produce the volume​ delta for the chart bar. █   FEATURES CVD resets The "cumulative" part of the indicator's name stems from the fact that calculations accumulate during a period of time. By periodically resetting the volume​ delta accumulation, we can analyze the progression of ​volume delta across manageable chunks, which is often more useful than looking at ​volume delta accumulated from the beginning of a chart's history. You can configure the reset period using the "CVD Resets" input, which offers the following selections:  • None : Calculations do not reset.  • On a fixed higher timeframe : Calculations reset on the higher timeframe you select in the "Fixed higher timeframe" field.  • At a fixed time that you specify.  • At the beginning of the regular session .  • On trend changes : Calculations reset on the direction change of either the Aroon indicator, Parabolic SAR , or Supertrend .  • On a stepped higher timeframe : Calculations reset on a higher timeframe automatically stepped using the chart's timeframe and following these rules: Chart TF ​HTF < 1min 1H < 3H 1D <= 12H 1W < 1W 1M >= 1W 1Y Specifying intrabar precision Ten options are included in the script to control the number of intrabars used per chart bar for calculations. The greater the number of intrabars per chart bar, the fewer chart bars can be analyzed. The first five options allow users to specify the approximate amount of chart bars to be covered:  • Least Precise (Most chart bars) : Covers all chart bars by dividing the current timeframe by four.   This ensures the highest level of intrabar precision while achieving complete coverage for the dataset.  • Less Precise (Some chart bars) & More Precise (Less chart bars) : These options calculate a stepped ​LTF in relation to the current chart's timeframe.  • Very precise (2min intrabars) : Uses the second highest quantity of intrabars possible with the 2min ​LTF.  • Most precise (1min intrabars) : Uses the maximum quantity of intrabars possible with the 1min ​LTF. The stepped lower timeframe for "Less Precise" and "More Precise" options is calculated from the current chart's timeframe as follows: Chart Timeframe Lower Timeframe Less Precise More Precise < 1hr 1min 1min < 1D 15min 1min < 1W ​2hr​ 30min > 1W 1D 60min The last five options allow users to specify an approximate fixed number of intrabars to analyze per chart bar. The available choices are 12, 24, 50, 100, and 250. The script will calculate the LTF​ which most closely approximates the specified number of intrabars per chart bar. Keep in mind that due to factors such as the length of a ticker's sessions and rounding of the LTF​, it is not always possible to produce the exact number specified. However, the script will do its best to get as close to the value as possible. As there is a limit to the number of intrabars that can be analyzed by a script, a tradeoff occurs between the number of intrabars analyzed per chart bar and the chart bars for which calculations are possible. Display This script displays raw or cumulative volume​ delta values on the chart as either line or histogram oscillator zones scaled according to the price chart, allowing traders to visualize volume​ activity on each bar or cumulatively over time. The indicator's background shows where CVD​ resets occur, demarcating the beginning of new zones. The vertical axis of each oscillator zone is scaled relative to the one with the highest price range, and the oscillator values are scaled relative to the highest volume​ delta. A vertical offset is applied to each oscillator zone so that the highest oscillator value aligns with the lowest price. This method ensures an accurate, intuitive visual comparison of volume​ activity within zones, as the scale is consistent across the chart, and oscillator values sit below prices. The vertical scale of oscillator zones can be adjusted using the "Zone Height" input in the script settings. This script displays labels at the highest and lowest oscillator values in each zone, which can be enabled using the "Hi/Lo Labels" input in the "Visuals" section of the script settings. Additionally, the oscillator's value on a chart bar is displayed as a tooltip when a user hovers over the bar, which can be enabled using the "Value Tooltips" input. Divergences occur when the polarity of ​volume delta does not match that of the chart bar. The script displays divergences as bar colors and background colors that can be enabled using the "Color bars on divergences" and "Color background on divergences" inputs. An information box in the lower-left corner of the indicator displays the HTF used for resets, the ​LTF used for intrabars, the average quantity of intrabars per chart bar, and the number of chart bars for which there is LTF data. This is enabled using the "Show information box" input in the "Visuals" section of the script settings. FOR Pine Script™ CODERS  • This script utilizes `ltf()` and `ltfStats()` from the lower_tf library.   The `ltf()` function determines the appropriate lower timeframe from the selected calculation mode and chart timeframe, and returns it in a format that can be used with request.security_lower_tf() .   The `ltfStats()` function, on the other hand, is used to compute and display statistical information about the lower timeframe in an information box.  • The script utilizes display.data_window and display.status_line to restrict the display of certain plots.   These new built-ins allow coders to fine-tune where a script’s plot values are displayed.  • The newly added session.isfirstbar_regular built-in allows for resetting the ​CVD segments at the start of the regular session.  • The VisibleChart library developed by our resident PineCoders team leverages the chart.left_visible_bar_time and chart.right_visible_bar_time variables to optimize the performance of this script.   These variables identify the opening time of the leftmost and rightmost visible bars on the chart, allowing the script to recalculate and draw objects only within the range of visible bars as the user scrolls.   This functionality also enables the scaling of the oscillator zones.   These variables are just a couple of the many new built-ins available in the chart.* namespace.   For more information, check out this blog post or look them up by typing "chart." in the Pine Script™ Reference Manual .  • Our ta library has undergone significant updates recently, including the incorporation of the `aroon()` indicator used as a method for resetting ​CVD segments within this script.   Revisit the library to see more of the newly added content!
