Aggregated Delta (Buy/Sell) Volume - InFinito||||||||||||||||CREDITS||||||||||||||||
Modified & Updated script from MARKET VOLUME by Ricardo M Arjona @XeL_Arjona that Includes Aggregated Volume , Delta Volume , Volume by Side
Aggregation code originally from Crypt0rus
||||||||||||||||NOTES||||||||||||||||
- Calculated based on Aggregated Volume instead of by symbol volume . Using aggregated data makes it more accurate and allows to compare volume flow between different kinds of markets (Spot, Futures , Perpetuals, Futures+Perpetuals and All Volume ).
- As well, in order to make the data as accurate as possible, the data from each exchange aggregated is normalized to report always in terms of 1 BTC . In case this indicator is used for another symbol, the calculations can be adjusted manually to make it always report data in terms of 1 contract/coin.
- The indicator can be used for any coin/symbol to aggregate volume , but it has to be set up manually
- The indicator can be used with specific symbol data only by disabling the aggregation option, which allows for it to be used on any symbol
- Previously Included with "Aggr. CDV / Delta Volume" this functionality has been removed from the latter indicator for functionality and simplicity purposes.
||||||||||||||||FUNCTIONALITY||||||||||||||||
Aggregated Delta Volume: Based off Xel_Arjona's calculation, buy and sell volume is estimated each period. This indicators can display both Buy Volume and Sell Volume for each period.
By Default, this indicator displays Delta Volume by side, which is the difference between the estimated buy and sell volume.
By checking the Option "Show all volume by side", instead of the Delta volume, all Buy and Sell Volume will be displayed by side
Volumedelta
Upvol and DownvolThis is a tweaked version of
What's Added?
- No negative graph lines (I want to see the crossovers in volume)
- Added NQ
- Adjusted enabled tickers (ES and the current ticker are enabled)
- Adjusted the moving average to better fit the strategy I was backtesting
How to use?
I watch it with other indicators for the cross over in positive delta/negative delta of the volume
- short volume crossing above long? consider going long
- long volume crossing below short consider going short
Also watching the total volume to see if it's going up or down (don't enter if it's dropping or consider getting out)
Cumulative DeltaThis scripts calculates the cumulative volume delta within the current day.
Options allow you to change the display type of this data (3 different configurations are given in the chart above)
The following options are available:
Colors selection
Reset cumulative delta everyday (can be disable to keep a continuous calculation of the delta over days)
Show histogram (used to display the delta as a positive/negative histogram)
Show daily High/Low levels (draw highest and lowest delta levels within the day)
Show candles (display the cumulative delta as candles)
Show Moving average (display a moving average which is reseted everyday at the same time as the cumulative delta itself)
Moving average length
This script will be updated if I feel the need to improve things or to add new features
Volume Value per UnitThis script will plot the result of Volume / Close.
This is meant to normalize the volume of tickers with exponential growth, for example a ticker like $BTC that went from $1 to $50k. Having the volume divided by the close will normalize the volume for when the price was $1 and $50k.
Singular and Cumulative Volume Delta (SVD+CVD)This a Volume Delta indicator with Cumulative Volume Delta.
I have been studying Volume Delta and CVD trading strategies and indicator styles.
This implementation was developed to test a basic trailing window / oscillator approach.
Script has been republished as public and searchable.
Changelog from private era follows.
Jun 9 (2022)
Release Notes:
Added option to use EMA/SMA based cumulation. This will not scale well with singular data, so default view is still SUM.
Jun 9 (2022)
Release Notes:
Outdated comment correction.
Jun 9 (2022)
Release Notes:
Added default option to normalilze visual scale of MA cumulation types. The averaging creates a singular value sized results, instead of a range-sums. This multiples that candle result by the range length to get a range-sum sized result.
Added option to scale the cumulation size relative to the volume size. 1-to-1 scaling creates singular deltas that can be hard to see with all options on. This allows you to beef them up for visual or weighting purposes.
Jun 15 (2022)
Release Notes: * Added break even level for current delta. Tells where current delta must land for cumulative delta to stay flat.
* Added comparison of historical cumulative levels to current level. The historical levels are the initial values going into current accumulation window.
* Changed title of indicator to be more generic, clear, and searchable.
Jun 15 (2022)
Release Notes: * Added option to have the cumulation cutoff line AFTER or OVER the end of the cumulation window. This change is to ensure the indicator clearly documents it's behavior and avoids confusion on this / last cumulation window semantics.
* Bugfix: Initial levels were pulled from cumulation line which was AFTER end of window. This has been changed to the initial values INSIDE the cumulation window.
* Code cleanup.
June 17th (2022)
Release Notes: Marked as beta because TV confirmed they no longer allow private scripts to be changed to public. (Despite lingering documentation that says otherwise.

Re-published as public.
[VC] Cumulative Delta PLUS It is a Merged Version of our following two indicators.
V.C Box Chart Histogram
&
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram.
We merged them at the user's request & convenience. This merged version also helps to save space for other indicators.
Description & Usage
Description & Usage will remain the same as described in individual descriptions of the above-mentioned parent indicators. Only one additional input is added to adjust the scale, named "Scale_Setting''.
Because now it's a merged version of 2 different indicators & both indicators have their different scale levels. To bring both indicators on an equal scale so that they can be visualised better, we have added scale adjustment settings that are easy to understand. Let's elaborate it.
Scale adjustment settings belong to the Cumulative length of the ' 'Cumulative Delta Indicator'' . Keep in mind that the best scale setting is keeping the scale setting values near or equal to cumulative length.
For example:
If you set cumulative length 20, the scale setting value should also be 20 or near 20 (like 17, 18, 19 etc.). (It depends on you, how large cumulative columns you want to see relative to Box chart Histogram)
Note: Any scale setting value can be used, it only affects visuals, not the actual calculations.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram It is purely Volume, Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis-based tool. Before applying this Indicator to your study, you should clear your concepts about Volume, Delta & Spread, Demand & Supply, and Aggressive & Passive behaviour of buyers/sellers.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
[VC] Cumulative Delta Histogram V1.0The V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram shows the market's ongoing Buying/Selling pressure. It helps to determine whether Supply or Demand is dominating and in control.
➤If the Cumulative Delta Increases, the buyers are in control.➚
➤If the Cumulative Delta Decreases, the sellers are in control.➘
The use cases for this Indicator are vast and correlated with our other Delta Indicators. The following examples will explain how to use this Indicator.
Example 1 EUR / USD
In the above example, Negative Cumulative Delta Decreased & Turned into Positive Cumulative Delta. That indicates that sellers are losing control & buyers are getting power.
As a confirmation on the ' 'Box Chart Histogram'' it is evident that Demand is also increasing.
And on ''Wave Chart Index'' as a 3rd confirmation, you can see that the Delta has also increased compared to previous waves.
Example 2
Positive Delta on Cumulative Delta Histogram is decreasing & Negative Delta started increasing.
On the Box Chart Histogram , Demand is decreasing & Supply is increasing.
Additionally, on the Wave Chart Index , the Delta of the wave is also decreasing.
(in short, besides ''Cumulative Delta Histogram," Box chart Histogram & Wave Chart Index is also adding additional confirmation)
Note: Two types of Delta sources are included in this Cumulative Delta Indicator.
Type A: Simple Delta
Type B: Delta %
Simple Delta is the difference between Net Buying - Selling pressure.
Delta % also works in the same calculation, but a Volume weighted algorithm is applied on it.
You may use any of them that suits your analysis.

[VC] Cumulative Delta Volume BarsLet's first learn what is Delta & How to Use Cumulative Delta Volume Bars?
Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is one of the leading indicators that you can use when trading order flow. It gives you an instant snapshot of the buying and selling pressure in a market.
After reading the detailed description of "Cumulative Delta Volume Bars," you will understand how volume delta provides a critical edge by allowing you to spot significant potential reversals in the market. You will also learn to use this Cumulative Delta indicator in depth. (including rest session usability features)
What is Delta Volume?
Delta Volume is the difference between Buying and Selling Power. Delta Volume is calculated by taking the difference between the volume traded at the offer price and the volume traded at the bid price. (in simple words, the difference between buying pressure & selling pressure)
If delta volume is more than zero, you have more buying pressure than selling & vice versa, and if delta volume is less than zero, you have more selling pressure than buying.
In Order-Flow Analysis , traders used Cumulative Delta to measure the relationship between the Buying & Selling pressure Vs Price.
Cumulative delta volume takes the delta values for every bar and successively adds them together to provide a graph, as seen below visually.
Let me demonstrate by giving examples of how cumulative Delta can help measure the buying or selling pressure relative to the price move.
★ Trading Absorption & Exhaustion concepts with Delta
See the chart below & try to analyze the next possible move on the basses on the analysis mentioned on the chart.
➽➽ If you said Short, you were correct. ✅
Till Point A , both price & cumulative were aligned. (means there were no imbalances between Delta & Price).
But on Point B , the Cumulative Delta broke the previous resistance clearly and moved even further away from the resistance level, but the Price couldn't break the last resistance. It interprets that buyers applied a lot of buying pressure but no result. (Aggressive buying pressure absorbed by Passive sellers)
Due to this vast effort or failed attempt, buyers were exhausted and had no more strength to pull the Price up. That's why the Price reversed from Point B . See below image
★ Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is helpful when determining buying or selling pressure at different key price levels, such as swing highs or lows.
Let's recap on swing highs and swing lows.
➽ A swing high (S.H) is formed when the high reaches higher than the price action around it. Once the Price moves above a prior swing high and begins to retrace, a new swing high is formed.
➽ A swing low (S.L) is formed when the low reaches lower than price action around it. Once the Price moves below a prior swing low and begins to retrace, a new swing low is formed.
➽ When the Price makes higher highs and higher lows, a market is considered an uptrend.
➽ When the Price is making lower lows followed by lower highs, a market is considered a downtrend.
When evaluating Delta, it's beneficial to compare delta values at swing lows or swing highs to determine the amount of selling or buying pressure and how the market reacts.
The actual Power of Delta is revealed when we use it to determine the market's reaction to powerful buying or selling. We want to see if the market has reacted as we would expect or not.
In the above Example, you will notice that every time price breaks a swing, Delta does as well.
It makes sense as it takes selling pressure to break a swing low or buying pressure to break a swing high. In simple words, we can say that there is no anomaly between delta direction & price direction.
In simple words (No Absorption or Exhaustion)
But what's occurring when this isn't the case, and we have divergence between Price and Delta? Let's analyze it with real examples.
★ Understanding Delta Divergence.
(Lack of Harmony in Buying/Selling Pressure & Price Move)
Notice how the Price breaks out of the previous resistance level on the above chart, but the Delta didn't yet reach even close to its last resistance level. It's a clear divergence between Price and Delta. Buyers may be slightly exhausted at the previous resistance level, and Price & Delta may retrace slightly. But in a broader view, it reflects a strong bullish signal.
See the above chart & see when and why the Price moved. I hope it will help you understand the underlying relation & story between Price & Delta.
Cumulative Delta & Trade Management
Delta will help you spot significant reversals, but it can also be used to help manage your open trade. You want to see a high correlation between Delta and Price when in a long or short position.
Suppose you're short while the Price is breaking a new low. You want to see Delta breaking low if sellers aren't interested in selling at the recent lows, represented by Delta not breaking lows. The probability of a short term reversal or a significant retrace increases.
When in a position, always be on the lookout for exhaustion and absorption, signalling a reversal potential.

-------------------------------------------------
➽Conclusion:
Cumulative Volume Delta Bars is one of the leading indicators you can include as an order flow trader in your arsenal. It gives you an inside look at buying and selling pressure and how the market reacts.
But Keep in mind, in trading & technical analysis, nothing is 100% certain. No indicator can give you a 100% success rate. There is no holy grail in the financial market. As a trader, with the help of technical & fundamental indicators, our goal is to find an edge over the market. A simple definition of an edge is: Anything that adds a few points to the winning side of an equation builds an edge that lasts a lifetime. A trading edge defines your technical or strategic advantage in the highly competitive market environment. Traders can establish multiple edges by starting with popular strategies and customizing rules to lower the risk of getting trapped with the emotional crowd.

LTF -> HTF volume delta Up/DownThis script derives from my previous Educational LTF -> HTF volume delta script.
Total volume is displayed as columns in the background.
With request.security_lower_tf() we get data from a lower timeframe.
In this case, volume, which is placed in an 'up-array' when the 'lower timeframe close' > 'lower timeframe open',
or in an 'down-array' when the 'lower timeframe close' < 'lower timeframe open'.
This is displayed here as 2 (red/green) lines
When you're at a chart timeframe (Higher timeframe), lower than Daily, the lower timeframe is automatically 50x smaller than the higher timeframe.
Example D = 1440 minutes -> divided by 50 = 28.8 or rounded a lower timeframe of 29 minutes
When this number is below 1, it will take the '1 minute timeframe' as lower timeframe
If the higher timeframe chart is Daily or higher, a 'x minute-lower timeframe' chart is calculated from the timeframe.multiplier multiplied by 25,
for example a 2D higher timeframe will do the 'lower timeframe calculations' with a 50 minute TF (25 * 2 'D')
Looking at for example BTC on the Daily higher timeframe, some interesting observations can be done when looking at the 'spikes'
This script doesn't have build in arrows, it is merely made to give some stimulation,
and hopefully some of you can work further on this technique, because I think it is very promising!
I want to thank Tradingview very deeply, why?
Just so many reasons, development, moderation, organisation, helpdesk, ...
The amount of work they are doing is incredible!

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 by SiddWolfDelta Volume is Difference between Buying Volume and Selling Volume. This indicator gives the Delta Volume based on Lower TimeFrame Candles. It utilizes security_lower_tf() function, a function that provides Lower TF candle data in Higher TF Chart.
security_lower_tf() is a new function provided by TradingView yesterday. If you are a PineScript Programmer, I suggest you to read about it, as it is a very powerful function that can extremely improve your trading strategy.
How this indicator works:
This indicator checks volume data on lower TimeFrame Candles and Shows it's delta in the current Chart Timeframe. For example: If you open 4 hours chart, this indicator checks volume of 1 minute chart and separates Buying-Selling volume. Then it subtracts Candle's Selling volume from Candle's Buying volume, finally calculating the Delta Volume.
This indicator also provides a Smooth Delta Volume, which is moving average of Delta Volume. As Delta Volume changes a lot, Smooth Delta Volume can be very helpful for identifying Trends . Goto settings and in "Show" section select "Smooth Delta Volume" to lay it on the chart.
Settings is the Key:
Settings are key to all of my indicators. Play around with it a bit. You can change what to show on the chart from settings. Smooth Delta Volume moving average length can be changed from the settings. You can also select "Show as Percentage", which shows Delta Volume as Percentage of Overall Candle's Volume. If you use Weekly or Monthly Timeframe, change increase lower timeframe from settings. Read the tooltips to understand what each settings mean. Tooltips are the (i) button in-front of each settings.
FAQs:
Q. Does the indicator Repaint ?
--- No. None of my indicators repaints. What you see now is what's drawn in real time.
Q. What TimeFrame is Best for this Indicator ?
--- It can be used on timeframes from 5 minutes to higher. But I would prefer to use it from timeframes higher than 30 minutes, as it gathers data from 1 minute TF.
Q. Indicator doesn't show anything ?
--- This indicator only works on security with Volume data. Also use it from higher timeframe than specified in Settings, because Volume Delta is calculated using Data from Lower TimeFrame.
Q. Delta volume is not provided by TradingView, So how exactly does this indicator work?
--- This indicator takes advantage of new pinescript function security_lower_tf(), and calculates volume for smaller timeframe data and calculates delta on higher timeframe.
Q. Does this indicator give financial advice?
--- No. Nope. Nein. Não. नहीं.

This indicator is very basic but if used correctly it can be very powerful. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to comment below. I'd love to connect with you. Thank you.

Split is a separation of the initial mode "Singular" it divides the 2 into separate axis positioning to allow for a different perspective of the same data.
Delta: Takes the difference of the 2 and makes it easier for users to see which side was in control, personally delta makes it easier to see DIVS in momentum and where exhaustion is occuring.
DeltaPrint SingularityDeltaPrint Singularity
DeltaPrint Singularity is a method of bringing a previous DeltaPrint Candles with less granularity but greater historical reference.
The advantages is the ease of use with existing charts and indicators without adjusting for low tf chart for UI Space this is all handled on the same timeframe using intrabar data.
The benefit of such candles is providing users additional data as to location of potentially trapped traders via late entry into positions e.g. late longing a range high or VAH.
Or to provide credence to traders who look for momentum plays seeing momentum drop off likely leading to a period of consolidation or pull back.
The logic used here is different to the previous rendition of the indicator but works well with any and all charts that allow some reference to volume.
This indicator aims to provide users the insight into how traders are positioning and where they are positioning. The indicator comes with a few initial features:
Singular Coloring
Delta Coloring
POC Highlighting
Singular Coloring is useful by providing a minimalist view into volume execution points.
Delta Coloring breaks this down further by providing an estimate into ask:bid (although delta print will be stronger at this)
POC highlighting provides only the volume POC and not Delta POC.
Planned Updates
Delta Weighting

[VC] Effort & Result Index V1.0V.C. Effort & Result Index draws the Price change, Volume, Delta & Delta % as a histogram. On the positive side of the histogram, it marks the price change & on the negative side of the histogram, it marks volume, delta & delta %. And the best part of the indicator is that it allows you to see all the mentioned data types simultaneously.
See the below chart for a comprehensive understanding.
Before moving further, understand the below analogy first.
Volume & Delta = Fule or Effort
Price Movement = Result
Think of Volume & Delta as FULE or EFFORT and Price Movement as Result.
If the price travels a significant distance with less fule & effort, it indicates that no barriers or inverse forces are stopping the price movement.
On the other hand, if the price is travelling a less distance & consuming comparatively more fule & effort, it indicates some barriers or inverse forces stopping the price movement.
V.C. Effort & Result Index empowers you to read, compare & analyse Volume, Delta & Price effortlessly. It helps to measure the relative price change in different combinations. Such as, you can compare the price change with total volume, delta volume & delta percentage.
See the below relative comparison analysis by using Price Change, Volume Change & Delta Change.
In the above example, you can see that on candle A, there is a very significant price move with a small volume & delta. But on the next candle B, there is a minor price move compared to the previous candle A, but the volume is relatively high & delta is almost the same. In simple words, the same effort was applied to candle B but got fewer results than candle A. It indicates that buyers applied the same effort but failed to get the same results. It reveals that sellers are taking control, leading to a trend reversal.
This comparative analysis method & approach can add an extra edge to your analysis spacially on key levels & breakouts.

[VC] Box Chart Index V1.0The ''V.C Box Chart Index'' shows the shortest possible wave. It graphically shows the continuous up movement or continuous down movement in the form of a box. As soon as the direction changes, the box changes as well.
It is an effortless way to show the price change that occurred in the box visually. It also correlates to what Wyckoff said about as the buying waves increase in volume, time, and length & the selling waves shorten, lookout for a change in the prevailing trend.
The example below shows more big green boxes than red, and the price change caused by the green box has made the uptrend.
Important Note:
V.C Box Chart Index also correlates to another indicator named V.C Box Chart Histogram
V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta based on each box as a histogram. Combining these two indicators empowers you to see the cumulative demand & supply and buying & selling quantity of each box.
See the Example Blow:
The above example shows that supply is decreasing on down boxes, indicating that fewer sellers are left to pull the market down.
On the other hand, demand increases on the up boxes, indicating that more buyers are coming into the market. As a result, every green box is breaking the previous high & price is moving upside.
For a more comprehensive understanding of the co-relation of these two indicators, read the description from the link below.

[VC] Box Chart Histogram V1.0V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta that correlates to another indicator named ''V.C Box Chart Index'' .
(In other words, ''V.C Box Chart Histogram'' & ''V.C Box Chart Index'' are correlated.)
V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta as histogram based on ''V.C Box Chart Index''. Combining these two indicators empowers you to see the cumulative demand & supply / cumulative buying & selling quantity of each box.
You can also switch from cumulative delta mode to cumulative delta % from input settings. See the difference between simple delta & delta % mode from these examples.
Simple Delta Mode (Cumulative Demand & Supply)
In the above example, green & red boxes on the histogram show the cumulative delta of each box from the main chart. In simple words, these boxes show the cumulative net demand & supply of the corresponding box from the main chart. In this example, Big green boxes indicate demand is increasing, whereas small red boxes indicate that supply is decreasing.
Delta % Mode (Cumulative Volume-Weighted Demand & Supply)
Similar to the simple delta mode, in the above example, blue & red boxes on the histogram show the cumulative delta % of each box from the main chart. In simple words, these boxes show the cumulative & volume-weighted demand & supply of the corresponding box from the main chart.
In this example, Big blue boxes indicate that demand is increasing, whereas small red boxes indicate that supply is decreasing.

2. It Automatically Draws Potential Zones and you can extend them.
3. It Draws zones over Strength or Weakness Signal for whole session.
4. Gives Options to hide Historical Action to avoid noise over the chart.
5. Shows Cumulative Volume over the Candle to get clear Picture of buyer and seller.
6. It Indicates most important signal of Effort vs Result.
7. Automatically draws zone of High Volume Candle from Higher Time frame.
8. Draws 60min(1Hr) Initial Balance Range.
[2022]Volume Flow v3 with alertsIndicators are an essential part of technical analysis of cryptocurrency. Their main function is to predict market direction based on historic price, cryptocurrency volume and other information. There are several types of crypto indicators illustrating various parameters (trend, volatility, volume, momentum, etc.) but in this article we will look at volume indicators.
Volume indicators demonstrate changing of trading volume over time. This information is very useful as crypto trading volume displays how strong the current trend is. For example, if the price goes up and the volume is high then the trend is strong and will more likely last longer. There are various volume indicators, but we’ll talk about the most popular ones, such as:
On Balance Volume
Accumulation/Distribution Line
Money Flow Index
Chaikin Oscillator

S2BU2 Volume Oscillator (Improved)Fair Use:
Please do not take my work and sell it under your own name. This was created to benefit everyone - not one person. Feel free however to use it as part of whatever work you wish to sell (of course i would applaud also giving ideas away for free - your choice though ;)
What it is:
The Basis for this Indicator was the original Volume Oscillator. I added Averages for Highs and Lows to make it easier to see relatively over- or undersupplied zones.
I also modified the oscillator to use a fast and a slow moving average à la MACD on itself to get a cleaner and earlier signal for when to expect a big move.
How it works:
A falling MA-line - especially if beneath the Signal-line indicates weakening Strength. Movements made during this time will barely move the needle.
A rising MA-line - especially if above the Signal-line, indicates increasing strength. Movements made during this time will be relatively considerable.
Crossovers above the average High/ below the average Low are especially relevant.
How to use:
Note this is only a recommendation and not advice. Feel free to experiment and adjust the indicator to fit your tradingstyle. This is only my personal setup. Feel free to share your findings.
Best used in combination with another Indicator that gives impulse direction, like for example my Stochastic Momentum Convergence Divergence (). You may also use any other indicator that works for you for this purpose - i am biased towards my own work though :D
What you want to see is a fresh direction-signal followed by a rising MA-line in the Volume Oscillator. For confirmation you can wait until the Volume Oscillator also has a crossover(up only, do not use the crossdown!) between MA- and Signal-line. Best results should be achieved if the MA-line was well below the averageLow-line. Trenddirection may change even while the Volume continuously goes up. Volume is direction agnostic. Always keep an eye on your direction indicator as changes can and will occur. These will be equally as violent and often longer lived than the previous direction you caught - you will lose a lot more than you gain if you do not keep track of that! This Indicator will help you to identify when not to waste your time on a trade, it will not be a magic pill that you can use to set and forget.
Effective Volume (Willain)This is the Effective Volume using the Average Separation Method
Excerpt:
The most obvious way to separate Large from Small Effective Volume is to calculate the per-minute average Effective Volume exchanged for all the
minutes of the day where a price inflection was found. The volume above that average is called Large Effective Volume (pg. 67)
Looks at the Close(n) to Close(n-1)/h-c*vol and registers it if its above 30% of total volume.
JMF_Buy/Sell Delta Pressuredrive.google.com
A lower histogram study showing Buy and sell pressure within the users time frame current candle, along with relative "Delta", the current difference between Bid and Ask volume.
Main histogram is a display of the current chart resolutions buy vs sell volume.
smaller (Thinner) positive and negative histogram that you see extending below the zero line is our current "Relative Delta" the current difference between the buy and sell volume. Sometimes you will see price rising on a negative delta, or vice versa. This can clue us in on underlying buy or sell pressure we may not immediately see.
User has the choice to color the candles with the Relative delta to match the histogram for easier identification of trend shift or change in delta values.
behind the histograms you will see a Bollinger band background. This is simply used to visualize when volatility is expanding and when volume or delta is over extended and we could possibly expect a shift to the opposite side. The default settings on the Bands are set fairly long to have a more consistent benchmark, but user can change the average value (midline simple moving average/volume moving average) to a shorter length to see immediate shifts in volatility and volume.
User has a table included in the subgraph that thoroughly outline all the current metrics that are shown on the histogram, as well as some additional values traders might find useful. Including Relative volume, Daily Volume, Current candle volume, Up (buy) volume, Dn (sell) volume, current bar delta, avg bar delta, Avg 30bar volume, current bars volume vs avg volume, % of Avg, current bars sell % and lastly Premarket volume with user defined time for start and end of Pre market.
