Relative Normalized VolatilityThere are plenty of indicators that aim to measure the volatility (degree of variation) in the price of an instrument, the most well known being the average true range and the rolling standard deviation. Volatility indicators form the key components of most bands and trailing stops indicators, but can also be used to normalize oscillators, they are therefore extremely versatile. Today proposed indicator aim to compare the estimated volatility of two instruments in order to provide various informations to the user, especially about risk and profitability. CALCULATION The relative normalized volatility (RNV) indicator is the ratio between the moving average of the absolute normalized price changes value of two securities, that is: SMA(|Δ(a)/σ(a)|) ――――――――――― SMA(|Δ(b)/σ(b)|) Where a and b are two different securities (note that notation "Δ(x)" refer to the 1st difference of x, and the "||" notation is used to indicate absolute value, for example "|x|" means absolute value of x) . INTERPRETATION The indicator aim tell us which security is more volatile between a and b , with a value of the indicator greater than 1 indicating that a is on average more volatile than b over the last length period, while a value lower than 1 indicating that the security b is more on average volatile than a . The indicator use the current symbol as a , while the second security b must be defined in the setting window (by default the S&P500). Risk and profitability are closely related to volatility, as larger price variations could potentially mean larger losses (but also larger gains), therefore a value of the indicator greater than 1 can indicate that it could be more risked (and profitable) to trade security a . RNV using AMD (top) volatility against Intel (bottom) volatility. RNV using EURUSD (top) volatility against USDJPY (bottom) volatility. Larger values of length will make the indicator fluctuate less often around 1. You can also plot the logarithm of the ratio instead in order to have the indicator centered around 0, it will also help make values originally below 1 have more importance in the scale. POSSIBLE ERRORS If you compare different types of markets the indicator might return NaN values, this is because one market might be closed, for example if you compare AMD against BTCUSD with the indicator you will get NaN values. If you really need to compare two markets then increase your time frame, else use an histogram or area plot in order to have a cleaner plot. CONCLUSION An original indicator comparing the volatility between two securities has been presented. The choice of posting a volatility indicator has been made by my twitter followers, so if you want to decide which type of indicator i should do next make sure to check my twitter to see if there are polls available (i should do one after every posted indicator).

Relative Volume RVOL AlertsRelative Volume or RVOL is an indicator used to help determine the amount of volume change over a given period of time. It is often used to help traders determine how in-play a ticker is. General rule of thumb is the higher the RVOL, the more in play a stock is. I myself like to use it as a substitute of the volume indicator itself. Basic Calculation: Relative Volume = Current Volume / Average Volume Crossover Signals: Any time there is a volume spike which causes a crossover of the user set 'Smoothed Moving Average' or 'Threshold' a green/red dot will appear at the top. The color of the dot is dependent on closing of the candle. Therefore it does not necessarily mean price will continue in that direction since volume spikes often happen in peaks or valleys. Threshold: The level at which custom alerts and signal can be set. The higher the value, the more volume required to trigger. Built in Alerts: You can set custom alerts for the crossovers of the adjustable threshold, or the average RVOL band.

RVOL - R4RocketRelative volume or RVOL for short is an indicator that is used to measure how 'In Play' the stock is. Simply put, it helps to quantify how interested everybody is in the given stock - higher the value, higher the interest and hence higher is the probability for movement in the stock. I have tried to create RVOL (Relative Volume ) Indicator as per the description that I read on SMB Capital blog. The blog is a great resource. ................................................................................................................................................................................... How to use the indicator - The indicator is meant for INTRADAY ONLY. The indicator has following inputs - 1. RVOL Period - Value from 3 to 14 (Default Value = 4) This is used to calculate the average volume over the given period of days. e.g. average volume for the last 5 days, last 3 days, last 10 days etc. NOTE - If you use higher RVOL Period on smaller timeframes, the code will give an error. So I recommend using 4 or lower for 5 min timeframe. (Nothing will work on 1 min chart and you can experiment for other timeframes.) 2. RVOL Sectional - True / False (Default Value = False) If you check this box then you will be able to calculate the RVOL for a particular session (or between particular sessions) in that trading day. What do I mean by session? Well I have divided the trading day into 6 (almost) equally spaced sessions in time, i.e. 6 hours and 15 mins (for NSE - India) of trading day is divided into 1 hr - 1st session, 1 hr - 2nd session, 1 hr - 3rd session, 1 hr - 4th session, 1 hr - 5th session, 1 hr and 15 min - 6th session. Before using 3rd and 4th inputs of indicator, RVOL Sectional box MUST BE CHECKED FIRST. 3. RVOL From Session - 1 to 6 (Default Value = 1) 4. RVOL To Session - 1 to 6 (Default Value = 2) Now if you select 2 in "RVOL From Session" input and 3 in "RVOL To Session" input, the indicator will calculate RVOL for the 2nd and 3rd hour of the trading day. If you select 3 in both the inputs, then the indicator will give RVOL for the 3rd hour of the trading day. 5. RVOL Trigger - 0.2 to 10 (Default Value = 2) Filter to find days having RVOL above that value. The indicator turns green (or colour of your choice) when RVOL is more than "RVOL Trigger". ................................................................................................................................................................................... Hope this indicator will add some value in your trading endeavor. “Only The Game, Can Teach You The Game” – Jesse Livermore Yours sincerely, R4Rocket **If you have some awesome idea for improvement of the indicator - request you to update the code and share the same.

Volume Columns w. Alerts (V) [LucF]These are volume columns on steroids, for serious volume users. You can use the indicator to show volume columns or relative volume. You can define alerts using numerous conditions in both column and relative modes simultaneously. Multiple coloring schemes allow you to reveal volume columns in a much more useful light than the two-color standard. Features Seven Color Schemes Plain gray. Different color for columns above average MA. Standard green and red. Color gradient using the relative position of MA (default mode). The first 3 schemes allow for highlighting increasing volume columns. A gray column in an otherwise colored scheme indicates no change in price. Two Modes Column Mode: In this mode you can show the volume MA and mask the columns under it. The standard is an EMA because I think it better suits volume’s quick changes, but you can change it to the usual simple MA, as well as define its length. Relative Volume: Calculations have been kept rudimentary. Current volume is simply compared to the previous bar’s volume. In order to compensate for this, a multiple area mode also compares current volume to 5, 15, 50 and 200 periods MAs. You can choose to view only the main relative volume value. Relative volume is capped in order to prevent the loss of detail caused by wild increases. The default cap is 10, but you can define your own. Spikes that are capped show a dot at their top. A separate threshold (its default value is the standard 2) is included for relative volume; it is used to generate relative volume markers. Four Markers Bumps (marker 1): A bump occurs when an increasing volume column is above its MA and the candle’s close is above/below the previous close. Double Bumps (marker 2): A double bump occurs when 2 bumps are present in the last 3 bars. Volume Over MA (marker 3): Triggers whenever volume is above MA. This is the noisiest of the markers. Relative Volume (marker 4): This event occurs when relative volume crosses the pre-defined threshold. You can choose to only show long or short markers. Two Backgrounds You can choose to highlight the background on bumps and double bumps. Alerts You can define alerts on any combination of markers you configure. After defining the markers you want the alert to trigger on, make sure you are on the interval you want the alert to be monitoring at, then create the alert, select V, use the default “Configured Markers” alert condition and choose your triggering window (usually “Once Per Bar Close”). Once the alert is created, you can change the indicator's inputs with no effect on the alert. No worthwhile price movement exists without volume. It thus makes sense to define alerts on volume if you want to monitor markets. I use the markers to define two types of alerts. For general market scanning, I use markers 2 and 4 on high time frames. When I have identified a good opportunity for entry and am waiting for confirmation, I will often setup a custom alert for that market at a shorter time interval using markers 1 and 4. Notes Until we have access to delta volume information on TradingView, this indicator tries to get the most out of volume columns without using security calls at inside intervals to get more resolution on volume, because it slows things down considerably. The chart shows different combinations of color schemes and markers, along with my TLD indicator on the chart.

Volume+ (RVOL/Alerts)This indicator colors the volume bars based on any of the three follow criteria: - Volume Amount - RVOL (Relative Volume) - Lookback (Highest Over Period) You can use one, two or all three of these settings at the same time. You can also set alerts with this indicator. The script will trigger an alert whenever any of the three specified flags are triggered. RVOL is calculated as: Volume divided by Moving Average value. You can change the moving average period (and type) in the settings.

Dorsey InertiaThis indicator was originally developed by Donald Dorsey (Stocks & Commodities, V.13:9 (September, 1995): "Refining the Relative Volatility Index"). Inertia is based on Relative Volatility Index (RVI) smoothed using linear regression. In physics, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist to acceleration. Dorsey chose this name because he believes that trend and inertia are related and that it takes more effort and energy to reverse the direction of a stock or market than to keep it in the same direction. He argues that the volatility is the simplest and most accurate measure of inertia. When the indicator is below 50, it signals bearish market sentiment and when the indicator is above 50 it signals a bullish trend. Good luck!

Relative StrengthRelative strength is a ratio between two assets, most often a stock and a market average (index). This implementation uses the method described here and the second method described here to calculate its value: "To calculate the relative strength of a particular stock, divide the percentage change over some time period by the percentage change of a particular index over the same time period". This indicator oscillates around zero. If the value is greater than zero, the investment has been relatively strong during the selected period; if the value is less than zero, the investment has been relatively weak. The period and the comparative symbol can be set in the settings for the indicator (the defaults are 50 and SPX), there you can also find an option to turn on a moving average.

Relative Vigor Index with Dominant Cycle Detection (RVI)Relative Vigor Index with Dominant Cycle Detection. As Ehler's mentioned, fixed length look back is inherently flawed when it is possible to extract a length from a dominant price cycle. may be less effective if signal to noise ratio is greater than 2, but that usually would not happen at >5m candles, and honestly shouldn't be looking at RV(igor)I when price is moving sideways. Read just like an RVGI, but adjusted to the current time frame. To reduce noise, changing to heiken ashi will help with signals as well. Let me know if there are improvements! Made for JD, the OG.

Currency Relative Strengths V.2 [GM]Version 2 Updates Speed has been increased by ~7X Highest and lowest pairs now highlighted using brighter colors Re-ordered pairs from highest to lowest 'flight to risk' rating I created this tool for the purpose of determining strongest and weakest currencies over different periods of time. Each major currency is compared to the field of other majors and its average change is measured over a predetermined period of time. The result is displayed as a percentage. I use it for trend following but it can also be used to fade exhaustion.

Relative Strength of 2 securities - Jayy This is an update of the Relative Strength to index as used by Leaf_West.. 4th from the top. my original RS script is 3rd from the top. In this use of the term " Relative Strength" (RS) what is meant is a ratio of one security to another. The RS can be inerpreted in a fashion similar to price action on a regual security chart. If you follow his methods be aware of the different moving averages for the different time periods. From Leaf_West: "on my weekly and monthly R/S charts, I include a 13 EMA of the R/S (brown dash line) and an 8 SMA of the 13 EMA (pink solid line). The indicator on the bottom of the weekly/monthly charts is an 8 period momentum indicator of the R/S line. The red horizontal line is drawn at the zero line. For daily or 130-minute time periods (or shorter), my R/S charts are slightly different - the moving averages of the R/S line include a 20EMA (brown dash line), a 50 EMA (blue dash line) and an 8 SMA of the20 EMA (pink solid line). The momentum indicator is also slightly different from the weekly/monthly charts – here I use a 12 period calculation (vs 8 SMA period for the weekly/monthly charts)." Leaf's website has gone but I if you are interested in his methods message me. What is different from my previous RS: The RS now displays RS candles. So if you prefer to watch price action of candles to a line chart which only plots the ratio of closes then this will be more interesting to you. I have also thrown in a few options to have fun with.
