Volume-Weighted Price Z-Score [QuantAlgo]🟢 Overview
The Volume-Weighted Price Z-Score indicator quantifies price deviations from volume-weighted equilibrium using statistical standardization. It combines volume-weighted moving average analysis with logarithmic deviation measurement and volatility normalization to identify when prices have moved to statistically extreme levels relative to their volume-weighted baseline, helping traders and investors spot potential mean reversion opportunities across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
🟢 How It Works
The indicator's core methodology lies in its volume-weighted statistical approach, where price displacement is measured through normalized deviations from volume-weighted price levels:
volumeWeightedAverage = ta.vwma(priceSource, lookbackPeriod)
logDeviation = math.log(priceSource / volumeWeightedAverage)
volatilityMeasure = ta.stdev(logDeviation, lookbackPeriod)
The script uses logarithmic transformation to capture proportional price changes rather than absolute differences, ensuring equal treatment of percentage moves regardless of price level:
rawZScore = logDeviation / volatilityMeasure
zScore = ta.ema(rawZScore, smoothingPeriod)
First, it establishes the volume-weighted baseline which gives greater weight to price levels where significant trading occurred, creating a more representative equilibrium point than simple moving averages.
Then, the logarithmic deviation measurement converts the price-to-average ratio into a normalized scale:
logDeviation = math.log(priceSource / volumeWeightedAverage)
Next, statistical normalization is achieved by dividing the deviation by its own historical volatility, creating a standardized z-score that measures how many standard deviations the current price sits from the volume-weighted mean.
Finally, EMA smoothing filters noise while preserving the signal's responsiveness to genuine market extremes:
rawZScore = logDeviation / volatilityMeasure
zScore = ta.ema(rawZScore, smoothingPeriod)
This creates a volume-anchored statistical oscillator that combines price-volume relationship analysis with volatility-adjusted normalization, providing traders with probabilistic insights into market extremes and mean reversion potential based on standard deviation thresholds.
🟢 Signal Interpretation
▶ Positive Values (Above Zero): Price trading above volume-weighted average indicating potential overvaluation relative to volume-weighted equilibrium = Caution on longs, potential mean reversion downward = Short/sell opportunities
▶ Negative Values (Below Zero): Price trading below volume-weighted average indicating potential undervaluation relative to volume-weighted equilibrium = Caution on shorts, potential mean reversion upward = Long/buy opportunities
▶ Zero Line Crosses: Mean reversion transitions where price crosses back through volume-weighted equilibrium, indicating shift from overvalued to undervalued (or vice versa) territory
▶ Extreme Positive Zone (Above +2.5σ default): Statistically rare overvaluation representing 98.8%+ confidence level deviation, indicating extremely stretched bullish conditions with high mean reversion probability = Strong correction warning/short signal
▶ Extreme Negative Zone (Below -2.5σ default): Statistically rare undervaluation representing 98.8%+ confidence level deviation, indicating extremely stretched bearish conditions with high mean reversion probability = Strong buying opportunity signal
▶ ±1σ Reference Levels: Moderate deviation zones (±1 standard deviation) marking common price fluctuation boundaries where approximately 68% of price action occurs under normal distribution
▶ ±2σ Reference Levels: Significant deviation zones (±2 standard deviations) marking unusual price extremes where approximately 95% of price action should be contained under normal conditions
🟢 Features
▶ Preconfigured Presets: Three optimized parameter sets accommodate different analytical approaches, instruments and timeframes. "Default" provides balanced statistical measurement suitable for swing trading and daily/4-hour analysis, offering deviation detection with moderate responsiveness to price dislocations. "Fast Response" delivers heightened sensitivity optimized for intraday trading and scalping on 15-minute to 1-hour charts, using shorter statistical windows and minimal smoothing to capture rapid mean reversion opportunities as they develop. "Smooth Trend" offers conservative extreme identification ideal for position trading on daily to weekly charts, employing extended statistical periods and heavy noise filtering to isolate only the most significant market extremes.
▶ Built-in Alerts: Seven alert conditions enable comprehensive automated monitoring of statistical extremes and mean reversion events. Extreme Overbought triggers when z-score crosses above the extreme threshold (default +2.5σ) signaling rare overvaluation, Extreme Oversold activates when z-score crosses below the negative extreme threshold (default -2.5σ) signaling rare undervaluation. Exit Extreme Overbought and Exit Extreme Oversold alert when prices begin reverting from these statistical extremes back toward the mean. Bullish Mean Reversion notifies when z-score crosses above zero indicating shift to overvalued territory, while Bearish Mean Reversion triggers on crosses below zero indicating shift to undervalued territory. Any Extreme Level provides a combined alert for any extreme threshold breach regardless of direction. These notifications allow you to capitalize on statistically significant price dislocations without continuous chart monitoring.
▶ Color Customization: Six visual themes (Classic, Aqua, Cosmic, Ember, Neon, plus Custom) accommodate different chart backgrounds and visual preferences, ensuring optimal contrast for identifying positive versus negative deviations across trading environments. The adjustable fill transparency control (0-100%) allows fine-tuning of the gradient area prominence between the z-score line and zero baseline, with higher opacity values creating subtle background context while lower values produce bold deviation emphasis. Optional bar coloring extends the z-score gradient directly to the indicator pane bars, providing immediate visual reinforcement of current deviation magnitude and direction without requiring reference to the plotted line itself.
*Note: This indicator requires volume data to function correctly, as it calculates deviations from a volume-weighted price average. Tickers with no volume data or extremely limited volume will not produce meaningful results, i.e., the indicator may display flat lines, erratic values, or fail to calculate properly. Using this indicator on assets without volume data (certain forex pairs, synthetic indices, or instruments with unreported/unavailable volume) will produce unreliable or no results at all. Additionally, ensure your chart has sufficient historical data to cover the selected lookback period, e.g., using a 100-bar lookback on a chart with only 50 bars of history will yield incomplete or inaccurate calculations. Always verify your chosen ticker has consistent, accurate volume information and adequate price history before applying this indicator.

Apex Adaptive TrailApex Adaptive Trail: Adaptive Volatility Trend System
This custom trend-following indicator improves on standard SuperTrend implementations by addressing two key weaknesses: excessive whipsaws during high volatility and false signals in ranging markets.
Core Logic:
- Synthetic Heikin Ashi values are calculated internally (without changing chart candles) to provide smoother source data for trend detection.
- ATR-based trailing stop with adaptive multiplier: dynamically adjusts between 0.8x and 1.5x the base factor based on current volatility (ATR / 50-period SMA of ATR). Widens in volatile conditions, tightens in quiet markets.
- Weighted Confluence Score (0-100%): Combines four independent filters, each contributing 25%:
• Price position relative to 21-period EMA (trend alignment)
• ADX > 20 (momentum strength)
• Choppiness Index < 60 (trending vs ranging detection)
• Alignment with Daily EMA(50) trend direction
Signals are only generated when price crosses the adaptive trail AND the confluence score exceeds 75% (standard) or 90% (MAX 🔥 ultra-strong). This combination significantly reduces low-quality entries compared to traditional SuperTrend crossovers.
Key Features:
- Dynamic confidence cloud (opacity based on score)
- Real-time dashboard showing volatility state, active filters, trend bias, and estimated historical win rate
- Optional dynamic/fixed profit targets
- Fully customizable filters and adaptive behavior
Usage: Best on 15m to 4H timeframes for trend-following strategies (Crypto, Forex, Indices). Enter on APEX signals, use trail as stop-loss, TP lines for partial exits.
This script integrates established concepts into a unique adaptive framework with volatility-responsive risk management and multi-filter validation.
Disclaimer: For educational and analysis purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always use proper risk management.
"This script combines established indicators (ATR trailing, ADX, Choppiness Index, EMA, MTF) into a unique adaptive system with dynamic volatility adjustment and weighted confluence scoring – features not found together in standard SuperTrend variations."

VOLKDW!This indicator displays real-time trading volume to help identify institutional participation, momentum strength, and potential reversals.
Volume bars expand during periods of high market interest, often confirming breakouts, trend continuations, and high-probability entries. Contracting volume can signal exhaustion, consolidation, or weakening trends.
How to Use:
Rising price + rising volume → strong trend confirmation
Rising price + falling volume → possible divergence or fake breakout
High volume spikes → institutional activity or key decision points
Low volume zones → chop, consolidation, or no-trade environments
Best used alongside price action, support/resistance, ORB, and market structure for confirmation—not as a standalone signal.
💣 Volume Pressure Indicator – Description (Aggressive / Trader Style)
This indicator tracks raw volume pressure to expose where real money steps in.
Explosive volume bars often mark:
Breakouts that actually matter
Stop runs
Reversal traps
Trend continuation fuel
When price moves without volume, it’s usually fake.
When volume expands, something real is happening.
Trading Logic:
Volume spike + breakout = high-conviction move
Volume spike + rejection = reversal / fade setup
Weak volume = sit on hands
Climax volume = trend exhaustion warning
Designed to keep you out of dead markets and in sync with momentum.

Multi-Timeframe Volume Profile - Auto HVN WallsMulti-Timeframe Volume Profile - Auto HVN Walls
Overview This indicator provides a highly flexible Volume Profile solution that operates across multiple timeframes (Session, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly). Unlike standard profiles, this tool features a unique "Auto HVN Wall" detection system. It automatically identifies meaningful High Volume Nodes (HVNs) within the profile structure and extends them forward as potential support and resistance zones, creating a dynamic map of market structure as it develops.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe Support: Switch seamlessly between Session, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly profiles.
Auto HVN Walls (Structure Detection): The script analyzes the profile shape in real-time. When it detects significant clusters of volume (HVNs), it automatically draws extended lines ("walls"). These walls often act as magnets or support/resistance levels where price has previously found acceptance.
Session Filtering: When in "Session" mode, you can define specific time windows (e.g., 0930-1615) to isolate Regular Trading Hours (RTH) volume, ignoring overnight data.
Auto-Scaling Width (Monthly Mode): For Monthly profiles, the histogram width dynamically changes throughout the month. It starts wide at the beginning of the month to be visible and gradually narrows as the month progresses, keeping your chart clean.
High Precision: Uses lower timeframe data (user-selectable) to build the profile, ensuring accuracy even on higher timeframe charts.
Alerts: Built-in alert conditions for price crossing the developing POC, VAH, or VAL.
How It Works
Data Accumulation: The script fetches lower timeframe volume and price data (e.g., 5-minute data on a 1-hour chart) to construct a precise volume histogram.
Wall Detection: It runs a smoothing algorithm over the volume profile. If a price level accumulates volume significantly higher than the average (controlled by the Volume Threshold Multiplier), it marks that level as a "Wall" and extends it.
Value Area: Standard Value Area High (VAH), Value Area Low (VAL), and Point of Control (POC) are calculated and displayed for the selected period.
Settings Guide
Profile Period: Choose between Session, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
Session Time: (Only active in "Session" mode) Define the start and end times for the profile (e.g., 0930-1615).
Calculation Precision: Determines the lower timeframe used to build the profile. Lower is more precise but may load slower.
The Walls:
Smoothing Factor: How much to smooth the volume data before finding walls. Higher = fewer, more significant walls.
Volume Threshold: How much volume is needed to trigger a wall.
Extend Walls: If checked, walls extend infinitely to the right.
Auto-Scale Width: (Monthly Only) dynamically adjusts the profile width based on the day of the month.
Use Case This tool is ideal for auction market theorists and volume profile traders who want to visualize where value is building in real-time and identify "sticky" price levels (Walls) where the market is likely to rotate or consolidate.

Volume-Confirmed Trend Thrust IndicatorOVERVIEW
This indicator combines trend strength, momentum & volume analysis to generate high-conviction buy and sell signals. It is based on the "Volume Confirmation for a Trend System" (VCTS) by Buff Pelz Dormeier (TASC August 2024), which I have taken the liberty of 'buffing up' (heh!) by swapping out original VPCI component with the ATR-aware Net Accumulation Flow (NAF) indicator derived from Markos Katsanos' VPN indicator (TASC April 2021).
The result is a system that only triggers buy signals when three independent conditions align:
• A strong trend exists (ADX)
• Momentum is bullish (TTI)
• Institutional accumulation is detected (NAF)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
COMPONENTS
█ ADX (Average Directional Index)
Measures trend strength regardless of direction. A reading above 30 indicates a strong trend worth trading. This filter prevents signals during choppy, sideways markets.
█ TTI (Trend Thrust Indicator)
Dormeier's volume-weighted MACD variant that provides momentum direction. Unlike standard MACD, TTI uses Volume-Weighted Moving Averages (VWMA) and applies a volume multiplier that amplifies signals when volume confirms price movement. When TTI crosses above its signal line, momentum is considered bullish.
█ NAF (Net Accumulation Flow)
The key enhancement - in my humble opinion - over the original VCTS. NAF classifies each bar's volume as:
• Accumulation: Price moved UP more than 10% of ATR
• Distribution: Price moved DOWN more than 10% of ATR
• Neutral: Price movement too small to be meaningful (filtered as noise)
NAF then calculates the net flow (Accumulation Volume - Distribution Volume) over a 30-bar lookback period, normalized and smoothed. This provides a cleaner read on whether institutions are accumulating or distributing.
Perceived benefits of NAF:
• ATR-based noise filtering eliminates false readings from small price movements
• Rolling 30-bar accumulation captures sustained institutional activity
• Empirically calibrated thresholds based on 717 stocks / 360,000 observations
• 3-period EMA smoothing reduces whipsaws
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SIGNAL LOGIC
🟢 BUY SIGNAL
All three conditions must be true simultaneously:
1. ADX > 30 (strong trend)
2. TTI > Signal Line (bullish momentum)
3. NAF > 16 (accumulation)
Signals fire on the first bar where all conditions align, preventing repeated signals during sustained bullish periods.
🔴 SELL SIGNAL
Exit when volume flow turns negative:
• NAF < -9 (below neutral zone, indicating distribution).
This indicator retains Dormeier's asymmetric approach (strict entry, quick exit) to help protect profits when institutional support fades.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
NAF THRESHOLD REFERENCE
Based on proprietary empirical calibration (717 stocks, 360K observations):
>= +35 │ Strong Accumulation (P95, ~5% of days)
>= +28 │ Solid Accumulation (P90, ~10% of days)
>= +16 │ Moderate Accumulation (P75) ← Default Buy Threshold
-9 to +16 │ Neutral Zone (~50% of days)
<= -9 │ Below Neutral ← Default Sell Threshold
<= -22 │ Solid Distribution (P10)
<= -29 │ Strong Distribution (P5)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SETTINGS
Setting for all 3 variables (ADX, TTI & NAF), alerts and visual conditional formatting are configurable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
USAGE TIPS
1. Works best on daily timeframe for swing trading
2. More effective on liquid stocks where volume data is meaningful
3. Consider using NAF threshold of 28 (P90) for higher conviction entries
5. Combine with price action analysis (support/resistance, RS, chart patterns)

VRVP Clone + Multi-POC -- PerroGordoVRVP Clone + Multi-POC
Overview
VRVP Clone + Multi-POC replicates TradingView's native Visible Range Volume Profile with several practical enhancements. The indicator displays volume distribution across price levels for the visible chart range, which is useful for identifying high-volume nodes, support/resistance zones, and areas of price acceptance.
The main differentiator from the built-in VRVP is support for multiple Point of Control (POC) lines with an intelligent peak detection algorithm. Instead of just showing the single highest-volume level, you can identify distinct volume clusters across different price zones.
Features
Dynamic Visible Range
Recalculates automatically on scroll or zoom
Analyzes only visible bars
Profile width scales proportionally to view
Multiple POC Detection (1-8 levels)
Volume Nodes Mode: Peak detection algorithm finds local volume maxima across distinct price clusters
Highest Rows Mode: Traditional approach - top N rows by raw volume
Configurable minimum separation between nodes to prevent bunching
Individual colors for each POC level
Volume Display Modes
Up/Down: Split bars showing buy vs. sell volume with black outlines for visual separation
Total: Single bar colored by dominant direction
Delta: Net volume (buy minus sell)
Delta Intensity: Gradient coloring indicating buyer/seller dominance strength per row
Value Area
Configurable percentage (default 70%)
VAH and VAL lines with customizable styles
Separate colors for volume inside vs. outside the Value Area
Positioning Options
Left or Right placement
Adjustable profile width as percentage of visible range
Row configuration via "Number of Rows" or "Ticks Per Row"
Additional Features
Statistics table showing bars analyzed, total volume, up/down percentages, price vs POC
POC price labels on chart
Line style options (Solid, Dashed, Dotted)
+++++
How It Works
Volume from each bar is distributed across price rows based on the bar's high-low range. The allocation is proportional - if a bar spans 3 rows with 60% overlap on one row, that row receives 60% of the bar's volume.
Volume Nodes Mode identifies local peaks in the distribution (rows where volume exceeds both neighbors), then selects the highest peaks while enforcing minimum separation. This surfaces distinct support/resistance clusters rather than stacking all POC lines in a single high-volume area.
+++++

Style
Setting - Description
Up/Down Volume Colors - Buy/sell volume colors
Value Area Colors - Colors for VA regions
POC/VAH/VAL Colors - Line colors and styles
POC 2-8 Colors - Colors for additional POC levels
+++++
Applications
Support/Resistance Identification
High-volume nodes tend to act as price magnets. Multiple POCs reveal layered S/R zones that aren't visible with a single POC.
Fair Value Reference
The Value Area represents where 70% of volume traded. Price tends to revert to this zone.
Volume Gap Analysis
Low-volume areas between POCs indicate prices that were rejected quickly - potential breakout or breakdown levels.
Market Structure
Multiple POCs across price levels show where the market has found acceptance, useful for distinguishing range-bound conditions from trending moves.
+++++
Practical Notes
Volume Nodes mode with 3-5 POCs works well for identifying distinct S/R clusters
Higher row counts give more granular analysis on lower timeframes
Delta Intensity mode quickly shows buyer/seller dominance at each level without the visual noise of split bars
If POCs are too clustered, increase Min Node Separation; if too spread out, decrease it or set to 0 for auto
The stats table vs POC comparison is useful for quick directional bias assessment
+++++
Requirements
Any instrument with volume data
Works well on futures, forex, and liquid equities

Black-Scholes Gamma Scalping Strategy# Black-Scholes Gamma Scalping Strategy
## Overview
This strategy applies options market-making principles to spot/futures trading using the Black-Scholes pricing model. It simulates the behavior of a delta-hedged straddle position, generating buy and sell signals based on how a market maker would hedge their gamma exposure.
---
## The Concept: Gamma Scalping
Professional options traders who hold long straddles (long call + long put at the same strike) profit when the underlying moves significantly in either direction. Here's why:
- A straddle has **positive gamma**, meaning its delta increases as price rises and decreases as price falls
- To stay delta-neutral, traders must **buy after dips** and **sell after rallies**
- If **realized volatility > implied volatility**, the profits from these hedging trades exceed the daily theta (time decay) cost
This strategy captures that edge by:
1. Calculating theoretical Greeks using Black-Scholes
2. Monitoring when delta deviates from neutral
3. Trading to "hedge" back to neutral — buying weakness, selling strength
---
## Black-Scholes Greeks Calculated
| Greek | Symbol | What It Measures |
|-------|--------|------------------|
| Delta | Δ | Directional exposure |
| Gamma | Γ | Rate of delta change |
| Vega | ν | Sensitivity to volatility |
| Theta | Θ | Time decay per day |
All Greeks are calculated in real-time using the standard Black-Scholes formula with configurable inputs for strike, expiration, implied volatility, and risk-free rate.
---
## Entry Signals
**Long Entry** (buy the underlying):
- Price drops significantly (gamma scalp trigger), OR
- Straddle delta falls below the lower hedge band
- Volatility filter confirms favorable regime (HV > IV)
**Short Entry** (sell the underlying):
- Price rises significantly (gamma scalp trigger), OR
- Straddle delta rises above the upper hedge band
- Volatility filter confirms favorable regime
---
## Volatility Regime Filter
The strategy compares **Historical Volatility (HV)** to **Implied Volatility (IV)**:
- **HV/IV > 1.2** → Long volatility regime (gamma scalping profitable) → Trading enabled
- **HV/IV < 0.8** → Short volatility regime (theta wins) → Trading paused or reversed
- **Between** → Neutral, proceed with caution
This filter helps avoid trading when market conditions don't favor the strategy.
---
## Key Inputs
**Option Parameters:**
- Strike Offset % — Distance from ATM (0 = at-the-money)
- Days to Expiration — Synthetic option tenor (affects gamma magnitude)
- Implied Volatility — Your estimate of fair IV
- Risk-Free Rate — For BS calculation
**Trading Parameters:**
- Gamma Scalp Threshold — ATR multiple to trigger trades
- Delta Hedge Band % — How far delta must deviate to signal
- Volatility Regime Filter — Enable/disable HV/IV filter
**Risk Management:**
- Stop Loss / Take Profit (ATR multiples)
- Max Drawdown % — Pauses trading if exceeded
- Max Concurrent Positions
---
## How to Use
1. **Set Implied Volatility** to match current market IV (check options chain or VIX for reference)
2. **Adjust Days to Expiration** — Shorter = higher gamma, more signals; Longer = smoother
3. **Tune the Hedge Band** — Tighter bands = more trades; Wider = fewer, larger moves
4. **Enable Volatility Filter** for trend-following vol regimes, disable for pure mean-reversion
**Best suited for:**
- Range-bound or choppy markets
- High realized volatility environments
- Liquid instruments with tight spreads
**Avoid using when:**
- Strong directional trends (gamma scalping loses to delta)
- Volatility is collapsing
- Low liquidity / wide spreads
---
## Information Table
The on-chart table displays real-time:
- Current strike price
- Straddle Delta, Gamma, Vega, Theta
- Historical vs Implied Volatility
- HV/IV Ratio
- Current volatility regime
---
## Alerts
Built-in alert conditions for:
- Long entry signals
- Short entry signals
- Max drawdown protection triggered
---
## Disclaimer
This strategy is provided for **educational purposes only**. It demonstrates how Black-Scholes option pricing theory can be applied to generate trading signals.
- Past performance does not guarantee future results
- Backtest results may not reflect live trading conditions
- Always use proper position sizing and risk management
- Paper trade extensively before using real capital
**No financial advice is given or implied.**

SLT Pocket Pivot VolumeThis is an implementation of the Pocket Pivot volume, below I added an explanation from Gemini about this concept.
This indicator shows the following:
1. Pocket Pivot days (blue bars) - Days where the volume is above average (50 days), and volume is larger than any down volume from the prev 10 days, and the close is at the upper half of the range.
2. Above avg up days - Up days where volume is above average (green bars).
3. Above avg down days - Down days where volume is above average (red bars).
(From Gemini)
A Pocket Pivot is a technical trading signal developed by Gil Morales and Dr. Chris Kacher, two former internal portfolio managers for William J. O’Neil (founder of Investor’s Business Daily).
The strategy was designed to identify institutional accumulation (large-scale buying by banks or hedge funds) while a stock is still within a consolidation base. This allows traders to enter a position before the stock makes a traditional high-volume breakout, providing a better risk-reward ratio and a "head start" on the crowd.
1. The Core Volume Signature
The defining characteristic of a pocket pivot is its volume. Unlike a standard breakout which compares today's volume to a 50-day average, a pocket pivot is relative to recent "down" days.
The Rule: The current day's up-volume must be larger than the highest down-volume day of the previous 10 trading days (my implementation also requires that a Pocket Pivot day volume will be above average).
The Logic: This shows that the buying interest is more aggressive than any selling pressure seen in the last two weeks, signaling that "big money" is stepping in to support the stock.
2. Key Identification Rules
To be a valid pocket pivot, the price action must meet several criteria beyond just volume:
Location: It must occur within a constructive "base" (like a cup-and-handle or flat base) or as a continuation point as the stock moves up along its 10-day moving average.
Moving Averages: The price should be emerging from or supported by the 10-day or 50-day moving average.
Strong Close: The stock should close in the upper half of its daily price range, ideally showing a gain for the day.
Avoid "V" Patterns: Do not buy if the stock is recovering in a sharp "V" shape directly from a deep sell-off; look for "rounding" or "tightness" in the price action first.
Relative Vol % (RTH Only)A measure of the relationship between the most recent trading activity to the number of shares traded on an average daily basis (over the last 50 trading sessions).
When viewing this data item during a trading session, please note:
Percentage change calculations are based on a projected volume figure.

It automatically purges old data (50-candle CISD limit) and deletes mitigated zones the moment they are breached, leaving you with a clean, institutional-grade chart.

Volume HistogramShows volume as Histogram, so it's still readable while RVol bars are shown behind in the same pane.
I want to see both because:
Relative volume indicates higher activity than usual
Absolute volume helps with "Volume Price Analysis"
This is meant to be used for 5m, 15m, 30m, 1w charts.
For 1d charts I recommend Volume Auto fit though, since RVol can be gigantic there sometimes.
Simple Volume IndicatorVolume is an important indicator in technical analysis because it is used to measure the relative significance of a market move.
The higher the volume during a price move, the more significant the move and the lower the volume during a price move, the less significant the move.
here i made some changes using Significant volume which helps to see the Price moment
Black = Unconsumed Selling
Blue = Exceptional Buying Strength
Yellow = Demand Strength
The Supply–Demand Battle
Think of it like this:
Black bar = supply waiting to be absorbed.
Blue = demand stepping in to absorb supply.
Yellow = Strength of move
If Black dominate without follow-up blue/yellow, price struggles.
If blue/yelow appear after Black, it signals buyers are winning.
[PickMyTrade] Trend strategy for LongThis strategy detects descending trend resistance using pivot-based trendlines and enters long positions when price confirms a breakout above a validated trendline. It is designed to capture bullish trend reversals with strict risk control and flexible exit management.
The system focuses on structural market behavior rather than indicators, making it suitable for traders who prefer price-action-based decision making.
USAGE
This strategy automatically builds trendlines from confirmed pivot highs. A trendline is considered valid only when price has interacted with it a user-defined number of times, ensuring that trades are taken only from well-formed market structures.
A trade is triggered when price closes above a validated descending trendline while optional session and position limits are respected.
All risk and position sizing are calculated automatically based on the selected risk amount and stop-loss distance.
HOW IT WORKS
The strategy identifies swing highs using pivot logic and connects them into descending trendlines. Each trendline must meet a minimum number of touch confirmations before becoming eligible for trading.
When price closes above a valid trendline, the strategy calculates:
Stop-loss placement below the most recent pivot low
Position size based on fixed monetary risk
Profit targets based on the selected exit method
EXIT METHODS
Three exit models are supported:
Risk–Reward Ratio
Uses a fixed multiple of the defined risk distance to set the take-profit level.
Lookback Candle Exit
Exits trades when price shows structural reversal behavior based on recent candles.
Fibonacci Targets
Uses Fibonacci extensions derived from recent swing structure to trail profits dynamically.
An optional trailing stop can also be enabled to protect open profits.
