Advanced Volume-Driven Breakout SignalsThe "Advanced Volume-Driven Breakout Signals" indicator is a cutting-edge tool designed to help traders identify high-potential trading opportunities through sophisticated volume analysis techniques. This indicator integrates volume flow analysis, moving averages, and Relative Volume (RVOL) to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions, going beyond traditional Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) methods.
Key Features:
Volume Flow Analysis: Distinguishes bullish and bearish volume flows with distinct colors, making it easier to visualize market sentiment and potential breakout points.
Volume Flow Moving Averages: Calculates moving averages for volume using various methods (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA), accommodating different trading strategies. This includes settings for adjusting the type of moving average and its period, as well as thresholds for high, medium, and low volume levels.
Volume Spikes Detection: Identifies significant volume spikes based on user-defined multipliers and moving averages, highlighting unusual trading activity.
Volume MA Cloud Settings: Computes general moving averages of volume to track trends and detect deviations. This feature includes options to select different moving average types and adjust thresholds for detecting high volume activity.
Relative Volume (RVOL): Measures current volume relative to historical averages, triggering signals when RVOL exceeds predefined thresholds, indicating notable changes in trading activity.
Entry Conditions: Provides clear long and short entry signals based on combined volume flow conditions and RVOL, offering actionable trading opportunities.
Volume Visualization:
— Bullish Volume Flow: Light and dark green bars indicate bullish volume flow.
— Bearish Volume Flow: Light and dark red bars denote bearish volume flow.
— High Volume Bars: Highlighted in yellow, and extreme volume bars in orange for additional context. These bars are plotted for visual aid and do not directly influence trade signals, focusing instead on the quality and strength of the volume flow.
Alerts: Allows users to create alert notifications for long and short entry signals when the criteria are met, enabling traders to respond promptly to trading opportunities.
Usage:
Overlay: Apply the indicator directly to your price chart to visualise real-time signals and volume conditions.
Customisable: Adjust settings for moving averages, RVOL, and other parameters to match your trading strategy and preferences.
Comparison to VSA Scripts: The "Advanced Volume-Driven Breakout Signals" indicator extends beyond traditional VSA scripts by incorporating a wider range of analytical features. While VSA primarily focuses on volume spread patterns and price action, this indicator offers enhanced functionality with advanced RVOL metrics, customizable moving averages, and detailed volume spike detection, making it a more versatile tool for identifying breakout opportunities and managing trades. It is particularly effective when used alongside key levels and order blocks.

RVOL++Overview
RVOL++ is a valuable tool for intraday traders to gauge market participation and anticipate the pace of the market. By understanding the RVOL levels, traders can adjust their strategies and expectations to align with the current market conditions. RVOL is a simple mathematical formula that compares the current volume to a prior lookback period, such as the previous 5 days or previous 10 days. This indicator helps traders understand the level of interest or participation in the market, which in turn can indicate the speed or pace of the market.
How to calculate RVOL at Time
Check if the current time is within the specified time period (e.g., 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM EST).
If it is, calculate the current cumulative volume for that period.
Find the average cumulative volume for the same period over the past X days (where X is the lookback period).
Calculate the RVOL at Time as:
RVOL at Time =(Current Cumulative Volume/Average Cumulative Volume)×100
For more info about calculating RVOL at time please refer to the Tradingview article.
www.tradingview.com
Key Features of RVOL++
Two Session and Daily Modes: In Two Session mode, it calculates RVOL for two distinct trading sessions, while in Daily mode, it calculates RVOL for the entire trading day. Two Session mode helps for instruments like futures, forex, crypto that trade 23+ hours. If you are using an instrument such as a stock like AAPL, if you don't have pre-market/extended hours enabled you will want to use "Daily Mode".
Session Time Settings: The indicator allows users to define the trading session times in Eastern Standard Time (EST) for more accurate RVOL calculations.
Customizable Lookback Period: Users can set the number of days for the lookback period, allowing for flexibility in calculating the average volume at time (RVOL).
Color-Coded RVOL Histogram: The indicator displays a color-coded histogram to visualize RVOL levels. Different colors represent different RVOL ranges, making it easy to identify low, neutral, and high RVOL periods.
RVOL Ranges**: The indicator defines RVOL ranges as follows:
40 - 80: Low RVOL (Red/Yellow)
80 - 120: Neutral RVOL (Blue/Cyan)
120+: High RVOL (Green-Lime)
Low RVOL Environment
Expect slow market movement with limited opportunities.
Focus on A+ setups and be selective.
Use tighter stops, size down, and adjust trading goals.
Neutral RVOL Environment
Expect a more normalized trading pace with frequent rotations.
Lean on structure and incorporate other trading tools.
Use normal sizing and stop management.
High RVOL Environment
Expect the best opportunities for range expansion and rotations.
Be more relaxed about overtrading but stay focused on structure.
Start with smaller initial size and build up to a full position.
Relative Volume at Time (RVolAT) ChartShared for friends, but others are welcome to use.
RVolAT chart, designed for US equity markets, displayed as chart of current bar volume relative to the average volume for that period over a specified number of days. This can be calculated in two ways - see Calculation Mode below.
The chart uses a heatmap to identify RVol, with anything greater than 3 as the highest level. The increments are in 0.5 units.
The chart includes a current indicator using the heatmap colours at the last bar. The label colour will change according to RVol.
Previously I generated a x day, 1440 period array as the basis of calculations, but now that TradingView has released a rvol technical analysis (ta.relativeVolume) I have adopted this. This results in faster processing times, and the results are in line with my previous model.
According to the TV documentation:
Anchor Point
Specifies the size of the period used in the Relative Volume calculation, as described in the Calculation section above. If the "Anchor Timeframe" value is less than or equal to the chart's timeframe, the period will reset on every chart bar, which means the indicator will only use the last N bars in its calculation (where N is the "Length" value).
Lookback period
Specifies the number of historical periods used in the average volume calculation at the current time point. TV uses 5 but I have used 20 as a default setting
Calculation Mode
Specifies the type of volume used in the calculation.
If Cumulative, the indicator uses accumulated volume from the beginning of each period.
If Regular, it uses non-cumulative bar volume
I continually improve my models to add more functionality or styling so watch for updates.
Volume Suite - By Leviathan (CVD, Volume Delta, Relative Volume)Volume Suite is an all-in-one script that includes several volume-based indicators such as CVD, Volume Delta, Relative Volume, Buy/Sell Volume, Cumulative Relative Volume and more. Additionally, it offers fully customisable appearance and features for improved data visualization, such as highlights for high volume activity, small price changes with high volume, or large price changes with low volume and more.
Data available in version 1:
- Volume Delta
Volume Delta is the net difference between Buy Volume and Sell Volume at a given bar. Positive Delta indicates that Buy Volume > Sell Volume, while Negative Delta means that Sell Volume > Buy Volume. As there is not way to get tick data on Tradingview, calculating Volume Delta is improvised by using the direction of lower timeframe candles and their volume.
- Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)
CVD is a running total/cumulation of Volume Delta values, where positive VD gets added to the sum and negative VD gets subtracted from the sum. It can be used for trend strength analysis, divergence strategies, sentiment, etc.
- Buy/Sell Volume
Buy and Sell Volume provides an insight into volume activity in a given bar by estimating the buying/selling volume based on the direction of lower timeframe candles and their volume.
- Relative Volume
Relative Volume is used to compare current trading volume to past trading volume over a given period. For instance, a relative volume of 1.0 indicates that volume is at an average level, while a relative volume of 2.0 suggests that the volume is twice as high as the average.
- Cumulative Relative Volume (CRVOL)
CRVOL is a running total/cumulation of Relative Volume values, where RVOL at close>open gets added to the sum and RVOL at close<open gets subtracted from the sum. It can be used for trend strength analysis, divergence strategies, sentiment, etc.

Swing Data - ADR% / RVol / PVol / Float % / Avg $ VolThis table presents consolidated data that swing traders can refer to quickly for their benefit. I am of the firm belief that the information provided in this uncomplicated table is precisely what you require to optimize your trading efficiency, and ultimately, profitability.
The data includes;
1. Market Capitalization - a measure of the total value of a publicly traded company's outstanding shares.
2. Float % - the percentage of a company's outstanding shares that are available for trading on the open market. It is calculated by dividing the number of a company's outstanding shares that are available for trading on the open market by the total number of outstanding shares. A lower float percentage generally means that there are fewer shares available for trading, which can lead to increased volatility in the stock price. On the other hand, a higher float percentage generally means that there are more shares available for trading, which can lead to greater stability in the stock price.
3. ADR% - a technical analysis indicator that measures the average daily price movement as a percentage of its current price. It is calculated by taking the difference between the average high and low prices for a time period, and then dividing it by the current price. The resulting value is then multiplied by 100 to give the ADR% for that day. The ADR% can be useful for traders to assess the potential volatility of a stock. A higher ADR% indicates a greater potential for price movement.
4. ATR - measures the range of price movements of an asset over a specified period of time, taking into account any gaps in price. It is calculated by taking the highest value of the following three values:
The difference between the current high and the current low
The absolute value of the difference between the current high and the previous close
The absolute value of the difference between the current low and the previous close
The resulting value is then averaged over the specified period of time to create the ATR value. This indicator is reflects the average volatility of the asset over the specified period of time.
5. LoD dist. - also refer to Low Of Day distance, a range level gauge of current price based on historical volatility of the price movement, in this case I use ATR. for the historical volatility. Please find below as example for the calculation.
eg. LoD dist. = 104%
Current price (A) = $24.49
Low Price (B) = $22.16
Difference (A) - (B) = $2.33
ATR = $2.25
LoD dist = $2.33 / $2.25 = 103.55% (round up to nearest whole number = 104%)
6. Average Daily $ Volume - used to measure the average amount of money that is traded in a stock or a security over a particular period of time, typically a day. It is calculated by multiplying the average daily trading volume of a security by its average price.
7. Average Daily Volume - used to measure the average no. of share that is traded in a stock or a security over a particular period of time, typically a day.
8. Projected Volume - an estimate of the total volume of trading activity that is expected to occur for the day (from the specific time data), based on an average volume over a specific period of time. Projected volume can be used by traders and investors to help make informed decisions about buying or selling securities, and can also be used as an indicator of market sentiment and volatility. However, it's important to note that projected volume is an estimate and actual trading activity may vary.
9. Relative Volume - a measure of the volume of a stock that is trading at the specific time, relative to its average trading volume over a longer period. It is expressed as a percentage and is often used by traders and investors to identify stocks that are trading with higher or lower than usual volume.
[TTI] Zanger Volume Ratio - Intraday––––HISTORY & CREDITS 🏦
The Zanger Volume Ratio - Intraday indicator is inspired by the work of Dan Zanger, a renowned trader and creator of the Zanger Volume Ratio tool. This specific adaptation of the ratio is designed for the TradingView platform and focuses on intraday trading. Dan Zanger used this same method of reading the chart to establish a world record in turning HKEX:10 ,775 into HKEX:18 ,000,000 in under 2 years.
––––WHAT IT DOES 💡
The Zanger Volume Ratio - Intraday indicator measures the estimated end-of-day volume percentage based on intraday (depending on the timeframe of your chart) comparisons for the last X days (input in the settings). It provides insights into the stock's trading volume in real-time throughout the trading day, giving traders an idea of the stock's relative volume compared to its recent trading history. For instance if you add it to a 5min chart the ratio represents the estimated end of day volume percent based on the last 3 days, the indicator will compare the cumulative volume of the current day to the X days back cumulative average up to that same point in time and tell you how it is around the thresholds.
The indicator categorizes the volume into five levels: Extreme, High, Average, Light, and Dry Up, each represented by different colors on the chart. It also displays a pace indicator, which shows whether the volume is increasing or decreasing during the trading session.
There is also a label that shows the current reading and its pace. The pace is the indication wether the volume ratio pace is increasing and picking up or it is slowing down.
Thesholds
👉EXTREME (red): >200, means "Volume is 200% of average daily volume
👉HIGH (magenta): 110
👉AVERAGE (peach): 85
👉LIGHT (orange): 60
👉DRY (gray): <60
––––HOW TO USE IT 🔧
To use the Zanger Volume Ratio - Intraday indicator effectively, follow these steps:
1️⃣ Apply the indicator to your TradingView chart with an intraday timeframe (>=1min and less than 1 day).
2️⃣Observe the real-time volume levels and their corresponding categories (Extreme, High, Average, Light, and Dry Up) to understand the current volume dynamics.
3️⃣Keep an eye on the pace indicator (arrows) to see if the volume is increasing or decreasing during the session.
4️⃣Use the information provided by the indicator to confirm trade setups, identify potential breakouts, or detect possible reversals. For example, a stock breaking out of a key area with high or extreme volume and an increasing pace arrow may indicate a strong upward move. Conversely, a stock pulling back on light or dry up volume could signal a continuation of the trend once the volume picks up again.
Remember to combine the Zanger Volume Ratio - Intraday indicator with other technical analysis tools and your own trading strategy to make informed decisions.
Aggregate Volume [CE]Aggregate Volume automatically fetches and aggregates futures volume data from multiple exchanges such as Binance, OKX, and Bybit -- for any crypto asset, and highlights the volume bars that exceed a user-defined threshold.
This provides a fresh take on the classic Relative Volume in the form of Aggregate Relative Volume.
This indicator displays where the most significant volume has occurred and allows them to easily identify buying and selling climaxes within a high signal and low noise format.
Within the inputs are options that allow you to opt out of certain exchanges or change the color of the bars.

RVOL/ATR LabelRelative Volume and Average True Range are critical for quick decision-making and managing risk. Even if the setup is there for a day trade, having a high relative volume on the name helps with confirmation to put on the risk. Additionally, using ATR to define your risk is a very helpful way to quickly size your trade in the moment. This indicator provides the ability immediately assess whether a trade is worth taking, as well as defining risk for the trade.
HOW TO USE
Our relative volume calculation looks at the cumulative volume up until the current minute of the day, and compares that with the same calculation of the previous 5 trading days. We have provided an "RVOL Threshold" input, which paints the RVOL square green if it is greater than or equal to this number (otherwise, it is red). We prefer an RVOL value of at least 2; however, feel free to change this value to your preference.
OUTPUTS
This indicator prints the RVOL and ATR values in the top right of your chart for quick and easy decision-making (as described above). If the RVOL value is greater than or equal to your RVOL Threshold, the square will be green. Use the color-coding to your advantage when making quick decisions.
Happy Trading!
Multi Exchange Relative Volume - FOREXHello traders! This is my first script that I will publish here. This script calculates the relative volume based on the average volume at that time of the day across different brokers.
4C Volume w/ Relative Volume at TimeThis is a Volume indicator that also shows Relative Volume at Time (RVOL).
The RVOL is easily visible as a background color, that changes between Low and High RVOL colors.
The RVOL portion of the indicator is a modified version of the 'Relative Volume At Time' indicator by Tradingview (which has been the best/most accurate RVOL indicator i have seen yet on Tradingview, and seems to closely match the how the "Zanger Volume" indicator works).
Elevated RVOL can be a very important criteria for trading , especially on lower time frames.
This indicator can be used as a simple filter when looking at charts to determine whether it should be traded or not, based on the RVOL.
Higher volume/participation relative to previous time periods can lead to better follow through of moves and price action, and can lead to trending conditions.
Lower RVOL can lead to choppy market conditions, with lower participation and follow through on chart patterns.
The RVOL portion of the indicator draws from the Tradingview 'Relative Volume At Time' indicator developed by authors @e2e4mfck and @LucF , for TradingView.
This indicator takes the Past Volume mark and changes it into a background color.
High RVOL = When the day's cumulative volume is greater than the Past Volume levels, then the background is painted Blue by default
Low RVOL = When the day's cumulative volume is lower than the Past Volume levels, then the background is painted Purple by default
See annotated examples in the chart Below, which compares/contrasts this new indicator with the RVOL indicator by Tradingview:
Portions of the 'Relative Volume At Time' indictor code have been removed to clean up the script.
Plans in the future are to remove more code were possible, to further refine the script and speed up the processing times for the indicator.
If anyone is able to strip out more and keep it functioning the same, please let me know.
Enjoy.

[TTI] ZVR Watchlist––––History & Credit ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
This indicator/screener is inspired by the methodology of a great momentum master - Dan Zanger. Dan holds the world record for higher % gain in a 12month period, which was achieved in 1998 and has not been broken since. One of the secrets he has shared with the world is his famous Zanger Volume Ratio (ZVR), to which his attributes great part of his success.
–––––What it does –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
The script allows you to monitor your watchlist for the most important momentum indicators on an intraday basis in order to maximise your chance of jumping in the right time.
1️⃣ ZVR - pre breakout indicator
ZVR measures unusual momentum at a given time of the day.
Example
Imagine it is the first hour of the trading session and you get AAPL with a daily volume (up to that time) of 2mn shares. Is this normal or not? If you just compare it to the average volume you will be making a logical mistake, since you have 7more hours for volume to reach the "average" level. Henceforth, average volume should be compared on an end of day basis. However, the ZVR looks at the current intraday cumulative volume at any particular time of day, and compare that to the average cumulative volume that has usually traded by that time of day in the past.
The 4 colors are 4 types:
🔴 (RED) — Volume is over 200% of the usual cumulative intraday volume for that day
🟣 (PURPLE) — Volume is between 150% and 200% of the usual cumulative intraday volume for that day
💓 (PINK) — Volume is between 100% and 150% of the usual cumulative intraday volume for that day
🟠 (ORANGE) — Volume is between 50% and 100% of the usual cumulative intraday volume for that day
🌚 (GRAY) — Volume is under 50% of the usual cumulative intraday volume for that day
2️⃣ SQN
The SQN is defined by the late Market Wizard Dr. Van Tharp: "A measure of a market’s movement through an application of the System Quality Number calculation. To calculate, the daily changes from close to close measured in percentage terms are averaged and the standard deviation is calculated. Plugged into the SQN formula, those values and the number of days (N) provide the market SQN score."
👉 Super Bullish - denoted by SB and lime color
👉 Bullish - denoted by B and green color
👉 Neutral - denoted by N and cyan/aqua color
👉 Bearish - denoted by Br and dark red color
👉 Super Bearish - denoted by SBr and light red color
–––––How to use it –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
I use the indicator very much like a watchlist. I put it on a secondary chart and load up all the stocks that I have identified as a buyable. I then wait to get signs of breakout. My favourites are stocks which are in SuperBullish trend (SQN) and starting to show RED ZVR in the beginning of the day. Often these are very strong names that show institutional buying. I purchase close to pivot point and hold for a swing trade. If the stock advances too fast 5-7% on the day, I take some off into strength.
Suggested use for this indicator is to combine with any volatility contraction methodology. Some examples include the TTM Squeeze, Squeeze Pro or my personal favorite Mark Minervini's Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP).
Look for stocks in a long term uptrend (we have another indicator for Stage 2 identification).
Volume x Price in Crores + RVolScript is designed predominantly for Indian users. Many are used to looking at numbers in lakhs and crores vs millions and billions, this provides a volume figure in rupee crores.
Formula is last close_price x volume / 1 cr or (close_price x volume /10000000). The second figure is the simple moving average (default to 20sma ) again in rupee crores. The third is the relative volume - todays volume / 20 day moving average.
Helpful especially when putting on a trade for a thinly traded stock. It is a quick gauge to how large or small one would want to buy or avoid. Helps manage risk. Also, great to see large volumes in crores to gauge institutional buys or sells.
On 10/NOV/21 - In the chart displayed here, Titan volumes are on average quite substantial as one can see. The 20 day moving average is 550 CR+. 10/NOV volumes are shown as 226 CR and the RVOL is 0.41 (226/550).
True Relative VolumeRelative Volume shows traders how "in-play" a current stonk is. Works great for day traders and scalpers!
Volume of Current TimeFrame's ratio to the average volume over X days back on the same time frame.
ie .
z = Volume at 0930-0940am over X days period divided by X
rVol = current volume divided by z
Dots at the bottom to indicate candles whose RVOL is morethan set minimum ratio.
Yes, its only 5 and 10 minutes. Might do calculations for other timeframes if this gets a good following.
Only works on US market session. 0930am to 0400pm EST.
Play Strategies :
- on break of support/resistance, if rvol supports action, ride direction of price action.
- look for in-play names, wait for price action to return to support/resistance area on low volume then
revisit if a bounce on the support/resistance line is supported by rVol again.
REMINDER!!!
This works only on 5 and 10 minutes TF. Dont forget to change your chart's timeframes.
This script will calculate erroneously if timeframe set on script and chart's current time frame are different.
Works even if extended market is enabled on your charts. It only looks at 0930 - 1600 EST bars.
Enjoy! Would love to hear your thoughts.
Relative Volume (rVol), Better Volume, Average Volume ComparisonThis is the best version of relative volume you can find a claim which is based on the logical soundness of its calculation.
I have amalgamated various volume analysis into one synergistic script. I wasn't going to opensource it. But, as one of the lucky few winners of TradingClue 2. I felt obligated to give something back to the community.
Relative volume traditionally compares current volume to prior bar volume or SMA of volume. This has drawbacks. The question of relative volume is "Volume relative to what?" In the traditional scripts you'll find it displays current volume relative to the last number of bars. But, is that the best way to compare volume. On a daily chart, possibly. On a daily chart this can work because your units of time are uniform. Each day represents a full cycle of volume. However, on an intraday chart? Not so much.
Example: If you have a lookback of 9 on an hourly chart in a 24 hour market, you are then comparing the average volume from Midnight - 9 AM to the 9 AM volume. What do you think you'll find? Well at 9:30 when NY exchanges open the volume should be consistently and predictably higher. But though rVol is high relative to the lookback period, its actually just average or maybe even below average compared to prior NY session opens. But prior NY session opens are not included in the lookback and thus ignored.
This problem is the most visibly noticed when looking at the volume on a CME futures chart or some equivalent. In a 24 hour market, such as crypto, there are website's like skew can show you the volume disparity from time of day. This led me to believe that the traditional rVol calculation was insufficient. A better way to calculate it would be to compare the 9:30 am 30m bar today to the last week's worth of 9:30 am 30m bars. Then I could know whether today's volume at 9:30 am today is high or low based on prior 9:30 am bars. This seems to be a superior method on an intraday basis and is clearly superior in markets with irregular volume
This led me to other problems, such as markets that are open for less than 24 hours and holiday hours on traditional market exchanges. How can I know that the script is accurately looking at the correct prior relevant bars. I've created and/or adapted solutions to all those problems and these calculations and code snippets thus have value that extend beyond this rVol script for other pinecoders.
The Script
This rVol script looks back at the bars of the same time period on the viewing timeframe. So, as we said, the last 9:30 bars. Averages those, then divides the: . The result is a percentage expressed as x.xxx. Thus 1.0 mean current volume is equal to average volume. Below 1.0 is below the average and above 1.0 is above the average.
This information can be viewed on its own. But there are more levels of analysis added to it.
Above the bars are signals that correlate to the "Better Volume Indicator" developed by, I believe, the folks at emini-watch and originally adapted to pinescript by LazyBear. The interpretation of these symbols are in a table on the right of the indicator.
The volume bars can also be colored. The color is defined by the relationship between the average of the rVol outputs and the current volume. The "Average rVol" so to speak. The color coding is also defined by a legend in the table on the right.
These can be researched by you to determine how to best interpret these signals. I originally got these ideas and solid details on how to use the analysis from a fellow out there, PlanTheTrade.
I hope you find some value in the code and in the information that the indicator presents. And I'd like to thank the TradingView team for producing the most innovative and user friendly charting package on the market.
(p.s. Better Volume is provides better information with a longer lookback value than the default imo)
Credit for certain code sections and ideas is due to:
LazyBear - Better Volume
Grimmolf (From GitHub) - Logic for Loop rVol
R4Rocket - The idea for my rVol 1 calculation
And I can't find the guy who had the idea for the multiples of volume to the average. Tag him if you know him
Final Note: I'd like to leave a couple of clues of my own for fellow seekers of trading infamy.
Indicators: indicators are like anemometers (The things that measure windspeed). People talk bad about them all the time because they're "lagging." Well, you can't tell what the windspeed is unless the wind is blowing. anemometers are lagging indicators of wind. But forecasters still rely on them. You would use an indicator, which I would define as a instrument of measure, to tell you the windspeed of the markets. Conversely, when people talk positively about indicators they say "This one is great and this one is terrible." This is like a farmer saying "Shovels are great, but rakes are horrible." There are certain tools that have certain functions and every good tool has a purpose for a specific job. So the next time someone shares their opinion with you about indicators. Just smile and nod, realizing one day they'll learn... hopefully before they go broke.
How to forecast: Prediction is accomplished by analyzing the behavior of instruments of measure to aggregate data (using your anemometer). The data is then assembled into a predictive model based on the measurements observed (a trading system). That predictive model is tested against reality for it's veracity (backtesting). If the model is predictive, you can optimize your decision making by creating parameter sets around the prediction that are synergistic with the implications of the prediction (risk, stop loss, target, scaling, pyramiding etc).

Relative Volume Pro - Realtime Volume FlowRelative volume compares the volume at a specific time in the trading day versus the prior volume at the same time of day over a specified range. This is an ideal way to gauge if there is significant volume driving a price move, either up or down.
What's Unique About this Relative Volume Indicator?
Many relative volume indicators simply divide the current volume by the average volume. Unfortunately, this calculation is not an accurate gauge of volume at a specific point in time and it will not account for typical spikes in volume that occur early and late in the day.
This indicator calculates relative volume on an intraday chart, looking at the volume for each bar in the current timeframe, over a range of days that is configured in Settings. For example, if the preferred lookback is set to 50 and you are on a 5-minute chart at 1:00pm, the indicator will determine the average of cumulative volume traded up to 1:00pm on each 5-minute bar, over the past 50 days. The result is an accurate representation of the "true" volume for a specific time in the day.
Relative Volume as Percentage or Ratio
Relative volume can be shown as a percentage change, a ratio or both. The calculations are the same, it's more about your preference.
For example, if a stock has traded 1M shares at 10:00am, yet the average over the past 50 days at 10:00am is 500k shares, the percentage increase is 100% and the ratio would be 2.0.
Intraday Charts
To accurately determine volume at a specific point during the trading day, as compared to the average at that same time of day, calculations need to be done on an intraday chart. This is your go-to chart to gauge realtime volume flow.
Daily, Weekly and Monthly Charts
Relative volume data is also shown on daily, weekly and monthly charts, however, it's important to note these values are based on the close of the respective timeframe.

You can find my relative volume indicator here:
Relative Volume (RVOL)Relative Volume is calculated by taking the ratio of current volume relative to a moving average of your choice. It gives you a quick way to see how much volume is involved in the current movement relative to a recent period.
Features:
-Customizable Moving Average: You can choose the period (default is 21) and type (SMA or EMA)
-Customizable base level: Default setting is 1.
-Smoothing option: Uses a Hull moving average to smooth out the RVOL area plot, by default its turned off.
Enjoy!

Relative VolumeVolume can be a very useful tool if used correctly. Relative volume is designed to filter out the noise and highlight anomalies assisting traders in tracking institutional movements. This tool can be used to identify stop loss hunters and organized dumps. It uses a variety of moving averages to hide usual activity and features an LSMA line to show trend. Trend columns are shown to highlight activity and can be seen at bottom of the volume columns, this is done using ZLSMA and LSMA.
The above chart shows an example of 2 indicators being used on the 15 min chart. The bottom indicator is set to the 1 min chart. Traders can see a large dump on the 1 min chart as institutions wipe out any tight stop losses. Next they buy back in scooping up all those long positions.
This is an example layout using a split screen setup and multiple timeframes ranging from 1 min to 30 mins. This gives a clear indication of trends and make it easy to pickup on institutional behaviour. Tip: Double clicking indicator background will maximize RVOL to the split screen window.
Relative Volume TableRelative Volume Table in percent. So 400% RVol means, today's volume is 4x compared to avg volume for the length you selected.
1. When chart resolution is Daily or Intraday (D, 4H, 1H, 5min, etc), Relative Volume shows value based on DAILY.
2. When resolution is changed to Weekly or Monthly, then Relative Volume shows corresponding value. i.e. Weekly shows weekly relative volume of this week compared to past 'N' weeks. Likewise for Monthly. You would see change in label name. Like, Weekly chart shows W_RVol (Weekly Relative Volume). Likewise, Daily & Intraday shows D_RVol. Monthly shows M_RVol (Monthly Relative Volume).
3. Added a plot (by default hidden) for this specific reason: When you move the cursor to focus specific candle, then Indicator Value displays relative volume of that specific candle. This applies to Intraday as well. So if you're in 1HR chart and move the cursor to a specific candle, Indicator Value shows relative volume for that specific candlestick bar.
Hope you find this useful.
