buyer_seller_scalping_indicatorThis code is a custom script designed for analyzing trading volume within a specific time window on the TradingView platform. It offers a comprehensive analysis of buying and selling activity during a defined period and provides visual aids and data summaries for traders to make informed decisions. Here's a detailed breakdown of its functionality and how to use it:
1. Custom Time Period: The script starts by allowing you to specify a custom time period for analysis. In this example, it's set from 04:00 to 09:29. You can modify these time values to suit your specific trading needs.
2. Volume Calculation: The script calculates buying and selling volume based on price levels. It takes into account the open, high, low, and close prices to determine whether buying or selling pressure is dominant during the specified time frame.
3. Total Volume Calculation: It calculates the total volume within the custom time period. This can help you gauge the overall activity and liquidity during the chosen time window.
4. Visualizations: The script then plots visual elements on the chart:
- A volume histogram, which provides a graphical representation of the total volume during the time period.
- Buying and selling volume indicators, which are shown as circles on the chart, highlighting the relative strength of buyers and sellers.
- An average volume line, represented in gray, which helps you identify the average trading volume over a 50-period moving average.
5. Volume Type Determination: The script determines whether buyers or sellers dominate the market during the specified time period. It labels this as "Buyers Volume > Sellers Volume," "Sellers Volume > Buyers Volume," or "Buyers Volume = Sellers Volume." This information can be crucial for assessing market sentiment.
6. Percentage Breakdown: The script calculates the percentage of buying and selling volume in relation to the total volume, helping you understand the distribution of market participants. These percentages are displayed in a table.
7. Table Display: Finally, the script creates a table that displays the following information:
- The current volume type (buyers, sellers, or balanced), with corresponding text colors.
- The percentage of buyers and sellers in the market.
How to Use:
1. Copy the script and add it as a custom script on TradingView.
2. Apply the script to your desired financial chart.
3. Adjust the custom time period if needed.
4. Interpret the visual elements and table to gain insights into market sentiment and volume distribution during the specified time frame.
5. Use this information to inform your trading decisions and strategies, especially when trading within the chosen time window.
This script is a valuable tool for traders seeking to understand market dynamics and volume behavior during specific trading hours, ultimately aiding in more informed trading decisions.

[TTI] Price confirmation indicator📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS––––
The Price Confirmation Indicator is an innovative tool developed by TintinTrading to help his students learn to interpret Price + Volume moves. It is designed to provide traders with a visual cue for price movement confirmation based on both price direction and trading volume. I got the idea from watching Daivd Ryan, how he explains that he looks at volume first before looking at the price of a stock.
🦄 –––UNIQUENESS–––
What sets this indicator apart is its dual analysis approach and easy interpretation: it not only evaluates price movements but also takes trading volume into account. The indicator's color-coded bars are dynamically adjusted based on the volume difference from a 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the volume. This offers traders an intuitive way to gauge both the market's direction and its strength.
🛠️ ––––WHAT IT DOES––––
The Price Confirmation Indicator performs the following functions:
👉Price Movement: Determines whether each trading day is an 'Up Day' or a 'Down Day' based on the closing price.
👉Volume Analysis: Calculates the 50-day SMA of trading volume and identifies the volume difference in percentage terms.
👉Transparency Adjustment: Dynamically adjusts the transparency of colored bars based on the volume difference.
👉Bar Coloring: Colors the bars blue for 'Up Days' and purple for 'Down Days', with the transparency indicating the strength of the volume.
Transparency Tresholds:
Full color (no transparency 0%) - Volume is greater than 40% compared to the 50DSMA Volume
Strong color (little transparency 20%) - Volume is between 20% and 40% greater than the 50DSMA Volume
Noticable color (moderate transparency 40%) - Volume is between 0% and 20% greater than the 50DSMA Volume
Negligable color (strong transparency 60%) - Volume is light and is less than 50DSMA Volume with less than 20% lower.
Weak color (very strong transparency 80%) - Volume is below 50DSMA, with between 40% and 20% lower.
Very weak color (max transparency 90%) - Volume is below 50DSMA, with between -40% and -80% lower.
Alarming weak color (color is orange) - Volume is noticably light - this generally signals velocity contraction before a breakout.
💡 ––––HOW TO USE IT––––
Installation: Search for " Price Confirmation Indicator" in TradingView’s indicator library and add it to your chart.
Settings:
Price Up Color: Customize the color for 'Up Days'.
Price Down Color: Customize the color for 'Down Days'.
Interpretation:
Blue bars signify 'Up Days', and their transparency indicates the strength of the volume.
Purple bars represent 'Down Days', with transparency again indicating volume strength.
Orange bars signify extremely low volume days.
Volume Transparency: The less transparent the bar, the stronger the volume, aiding in confirming the price direction.
The indicator is a great tool for newer traders to get in the habit of reading Price & Volume together!
The Swinging Momentum IndicatorThe Swinging Momentum indicator is a custom trading indicator that looks at price momentum to identify potential buy and sell signals. It uses the rate of change in closing price over the last few bars to determine if momentum is increasing or decreasing. It also looks at the relationship of the close price to recent highs and lows, volume, and short term moving averages to confirm the strength of the momentum signal.
The indicator has two main components - identifying initial buy and sell signals, and then rating the strength of those signals. For buys, it looks for an increase in closing price momentum along with a close above recent highs and highest volume. For sells, it looks for a decrease in momentum and close below recent lows and highest volume. This identifies the initial signal without too many false signals.
It then looks at multiple factors to grade the strength of the signal, on a scale of 0 to 3. For buys it looks at how the close compares to the open, high and low of the last 4 bars, if the current low is above the recent low, and if there are more gaining days than losing days recently. For sells it looks at the close versus the open/high/low, if the current high is below the recent high, and if there are more losing than gaining days.
Each condition met adds 1 point to the strength rating. A rating above 2 is considered a strong momentum signal. This filters out weaker signals and reduces whipsaws.
The end result is plotted on the chart. Buy signals are triangles pointing up below the bars, sells are triangles pointing down above the bars. The colors help visualize the strength - strong signals are green for buys and red for sells, while weaker signals are yellow.
Trading with the Swinging Momentum indicator is straightforward. Strong buy signals identify upside momentum, so traders would look to enter long positions on a retest of the buy signal bar high. Strong sell signals identify downside momentum, so short positions can be entered on a retest of the bar low. Stops are placed beyond recent swing points in the opposite direction of the trade.
Since momentum can quickly change, risk management is key. Traders should look for other confirming indicators to strengthen the probability of a momentum trade working out. Good additional indicators to use with momentum include volume, trends, support/resistance and volatility measures.
The advantage of the Swinging Momentum indicator is that isolating the strongest momentum moves helps traders focus on higher probability trade setups. Monitoring both the initial signal and the strength rating gives an added level of confidence compared to standard momentum indicators. This custom indicator combines multiple momentum strategies into one, allowing traders to quickly identify and evaluate momentum opportunities on the chart.
Used appropriately with sound risk management, the Swinging Momentum indicator can be a valuable addition to a trading system. It visualizes both the direction and strength of momentum, key factors when trading trends and breakouts. While no indicator is perfect, understanding and utilizing momentum is a key concept for traders to master. This indicator provides a graphical representation to improve the way momentum is incorporated into trading decisions.

Buyer/Seller Dominance ©TMW
The "Buyer/Seller Dominance" indicator script, developed by Deepanshu Sharma under The Market Wisdom (TMW), is a powerful analytical tool designed for use on the TradingView platform. This script is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and it offers traders and investors an innovative perspective on market dynamics by assessing the relative strength of buyers and sellers within a given time frame.
Key Features:
1. Dominance Calculation: The indicator calculates the dominance of buyers and sellers over a specified number of candles. Users can define the number of candles (`n`) to consider in the dominance calculation.
2. Visual Representation: The script provides a visual representation of buyer and seller dominance using colored columns on the price chart. Green columns represent buyer dominance, while red columns represent seller dominance.
3. Balance Line: The indicator includes a dashed horizontal line at the zero level, representing a balance point between buyer and seller dominance. When the green and red columns cross this line, it signifies shifts in market sentiment.
How it Works:
The script divides the historical price data into segments of specified candle count (`n`) and assesses each segment's dominance. It calculates the volume associated with both green (bullish) and red (bearish) candles within each segment.
If a candle's closing price is higher than its opening price, it is considered a green candle. Similarly, if the closing price is lower than the opening price, the candle is classified as red. The volume of each respective type of candle is then accumulated for each segment.
The script plots the cumulative green candle volume as the "Buyer Dominance" column and the cumulative red candle volume as the "Seller Dominance" column. This visual representation helps traders gauge the ebb and flow of buyer and seller strength in the market.

Liquidity Sentiment Profile (Auto-Anchored) [LuxAlgo]
The Liquidity Sentiment Profile (Auto-Anchored) is an advanced charting tool that measures by combining PRICE and VOLUME data over specified anchored periods and highlights the distribution of the liquidity and the market sentiment at specific price levels. This version is a variation of the previously published Liquidity Sentiment Profile , wherewith this version allows users to select a variety of different anchoring periods, such as 'Auto', 'Fixed Range', 'Swing High', 'Swing Low', 'Session', 'Day', 'Week', 'Month', 'Quarter', and 'Year'
Liquidity refers to the availability of orders at specific price levels in the market, allowing transactions to occur smoothly.
🔶 USAGE
A Liquidity Sentiment Profile (Auto-Anchored) is a combination of liquidity and a sentiment profile, where the right side of the profile highlights the distribution of the traded activity at different price levels, and the left side of the profile highlights the market sentiment at those price levels
The liquidity profile is categorized by assigning different colors based on the significance of the traded activity of the specific price levels, allowing traders to reveal significant price levels, such as support and resistance levels, supply and demand zones, liquidity gaps, consolidation zones, etc
The Liquidity Sentiment Profiles aim to present Value Areas based on the significance of price levels, thus allowing users to identify value areas that can be formed more than once within the range of a single profile
Level of Significance Line - displays the changes in the price levels with the highest traded activity (developing POC)
Buyside & Sellside Liquidity Zones - displays Liquidity Levels, also known as Supply and Demand Zones

Support and Resistance Signals MTF [LuxAlgo]The Support and Resistance Signals MTF indicator aims to identify undoubtedly one of the key concepts of technical analysis Support and Resistance Levels and more importantly, the script aims to capture and highlight major price action movements, such as Breakouts , Tests of the Zones , Retests of the Zones , and Rejections .
The script supports Multi-TimeFrame (MTF) functionality allowing users to analyze and observe the Support and Resistance Levels/Zones and their associated Signals from a higher timeframe perspective.
This script is an extended version of our previously published Support-and-Resistance-Levels-with-Breaks script from 2020.
Identification of key support and resistance levels/zones is an essential ingredient to successful technical analysis.
🔶 USAGE
Support and resistance are key concepts that help traders understand, analyze and act on chart patterns in the financial markets. Support describes a price level where a downtrend pauses due to demand for an asset increasing, while resistance refers to a level where an uptrend reverses as a sell-off happens.
The creation of support and resistance levels comes as a result of an initial imbalance of supply/demand, which forms what we know as a swing high or swing low. This script starts its processing using the swing highs/lows. Swing Highs/Lows are levels that many of the market participants use as a historical reference to place their trading orders (buy, sell, stop loss), as a result, those price levels potentially become and serve as key support and resistance levels.
One of the important features of the script is the signals it provides. The script follows the major price movements and highlights them on the chart.
🔹 Breakouts (non-repaint)
A breakout is a price moving outside a defined support or resistance level, the significance of the breakout can be measured by examining the volume. This script is not filtering them based on volume but provides volume information for the bar where the breakout takes place.
🔹 Retests
Retest is a case where the price action breaches a zone and then revisits the level breached.
🔹 Tests
Test is a case where the price action touches the support or resistance zones.
🔹 Rejections
Rejections are pin bar patterns with high trading volume.
Finally, Multi TimeFrame (MTF) functionality allows users to analyze and observe the Support and Resistance Levels/Zones and their associated Signals from a higher timeframe perspective.
🔶 SETTINGS
The script takes into account user-defined parameters to detect and highlight the zones, levels, and signals.
🔹 Support & Resistance Settings
Detection Timeframe: Set the indicator resolution, the users may examine higher timeframe detection on their chart timeframe.
Detection Length: Swing levels detection length

Liquidity Heatmap [BigBeluga]The Liquidity Heatmap is an indicator designed to spot possible resting liquidity or potential stop loss using volume or Open interest.
The Open interest is the total number of outstanding derivative contracts for an asset—such as options or futures—that have not been settled. Open interest keeps track of every open position in a particular contract rather than tracking the total volume traded.
The Volume is the total quantity of shares or contracts traded for the current timeframe.
🔶 HOW IT WORKS
Based on the user choice between Volume or OI, the idea is the same for both.
On each candle, we add the data (volume or OI) below or above (long or short) that should be the hypothetical liquidation levels; More color of the liquidity level = more reaction when the price goes through it.
Gradient color is calculated between an average of 2 points that the user can select. For example: 500, and the script will take the average of the highest data between 500 and 250 (half of the user's choice), and the gradient will be based on that.
If we take volume as an example, a big volume spike will mean a lot of long or short activity in that candle. A liquidity level will be displayed below/above the set leverage (4.5 = 20x leverage as an example) so when the price revisits that zone, all the 20x leverage should be liquidated.
Huge volume = a lot of activity
Huge OI = a lot of positions opened
More volume / OI will result in a stronger color that will generate a stronger reaction.
🔶 ROUTE
Here's an example of a route for long liquidity:
Enable the filter = consider only green candles.
Set the leverage to 4.5 (20x).
Choose Data = Volume.
Process:
A green candle is formed.
A liquidity level is established.
The level is placed below to simulate the 20x leverage.
Color is applied, considering the average volume within the chosen area.
Route completed.
🔶 FEATURE
Possibility to change the color of both long and short liquidity
Manual opacity value
Manual opacity average
Leverage
Autopilot - set a good average automatically of the opacity value
Enable both long or short liquidity visualization
Filtering - grab only red/green candle of the corresponding side or grab every candle
Data - nzVolume - Volume - nzOI - OI
🔶 TIPS
Since the limit of the line is 500, it's best to plot 2 scripts: one with only long and another with only short.
🔶 CONCLUSION
The liquidity levels are an interesting way to think about possible levels, and those are not real levels.
Volume Profile (Maps) [LuxAlgo]The Pine Script® developers have unleashed "maps"!
Volume Profile (Maps) displays volume, associated with price, above and below the latest price, by using maps
The largest and second-largest volume is highlighted.
🔶 USAGE
The proposed script can highlight more frequent closing prices/prices with the highest volume, potentially highlighting more liquid areas. The prices with the highest associated volume (in red and orange in the indicator) can eventually be used as support/resistance levels.
Voids within the volume profile can highlight large price displacements (volatile variations).
🔶 CONCEPTS
🔹 Maps
A map object is a collection that consists of key - value pairs
Each key is unique and can only appear once. When adding a new value with a key that the map already contains, that value replaces the old value associated with the key .
You can change the value of a particular key though, for example adding volume (value) at the same price (key), the latter technique is used in this script.
Volume is added to the map, associated with a particular price (default close, can be set at high, low, open,...)
When the map already contains the same price (key), the value (volume) is added to the existing volume at the associated price.
A map can contain maximum 50K values, which is more than enough to hold 20K bars (Basic 5K - Premium plan 20K), so the whole history can be put into a map.
🔹 Visible line/box limit
We can only display maximum 500 line.new() though.
The code locates the current (last) close, and displays volume values around this price, using lines, for example 250 lines above and 250 lines below current price.
If one side contains fewer values, the other side can show more lines, taking the maximum out of the 500 visible line limitation.
Example (max. 500 lines visible)
• 100 values below close
• 2000 values above close
-> 100 values will be displayed below close
-> 400 remaining -> 400 values will be displayed above close
Pushing the limits even further, when ' Amount of bars ' is set higher than 500, boxes - box.new() - will be used as well.
These have a limit of 500 as well, bringing the total limit to 1000.
Note that there are visual differences when boxes overlap against lines.
If this is confusing, please keep ' Amount of bars ' at max. 500 (then only lines will be used).
🔹 Rounding function
This publication contains 2 round functions, which can be used to widen the Volume Profile
Round
• "Round" set at zero -> nothing changes to the source number
• "Round" set below zero -> x digit(s) after the decimal point, starting from the right side, and rounded.
• "Round" set above zero -> x digit(s) before the decimal point, starting from the right side, and rounded.
Example: 123456.789
0->123456.789
1->123456.79
2->123456.8
3->123457
-1->123460
-2->123500
Step
Another option is custom steps.
After setting "Round" to "Step", choose the desired steps in price,
Examples
• 2 -> 1234.00, 1236.00, 1238.00, 1240.00
• 5 -> 1230.00, 1235.00, 1240.00, 1245.00
• 100 -> 1200.00, 1300.00, 1400.00, 1500.00
• 0.05 -> 1234.00, 1234.05, 1234.10, 1234.15
•••
🔶 FEATURES
🔹 Adjust position & width
🔹 Table
The table shows the details:
• Size originalMap : amount of elements in original map
• # higher: amount of elements, higher than last "close" (source)
• index "close" : index of last "close" (source), or # element, lower than source
• Size newMap : amount of elements in new map (used for display lines)
• # higher : amount of elements in newMap, higher than last "close" (source)
• # lower : amount of elements in newMap, lower than last "close" (source)
🔹 Volume * currency
Let's take as example BTCUSD, relative to USD, 10 volume at a price of 100 BTCUSD will be very different than 10 volume at a price of 30000 (1K vs. 300K)
If you want volume to be associated with USD, enable Volume * currency . Volume will then be multiplied by the price:
• 10 volume, 1 BTC = 100 -> 1000
• 10 volume, 1 BTC = 30K -> 300K
Disabled
Enabled
🔶 DETAILS
🔹 Put
When the map doesn't contain a price, it will be added, using map.put(id, key, value)
In our code:
map.put(originalMap, price, volume)
or
originalMap.put(price, volume)
A key (price) is now associated with a value (volume) -> key : value
Since all keys are unique, we don't have to know its position to extract the value, we just need to know the key -> map.get(id, key)
We use map.get() when a certain key already exists in the map, and we want to add volume with that value.
if originalMap.contains(price)
originalMap.put(price, originalMap.get(price) + volume)
-> At the last bar, all prices (source) are now associated with volume.
🔹 Copy & sort
Next, every key of the map is copied and sorted (array of keys), after which the index (idx) is retrieved of last (current) price.
copyK = originalMap.keys().copy()
copyK.sort()
idx = copyK.binary_search_leftmost(src)
Then left and right side of idx is investigated to show a maximum amount of lines at both sides of last price.
🔹 New map & display
The keys (from sorted array of copied keys) that will be displayed are put in a new map, with the associated volume values from the original map.
newMap = map.new()
🔹 Re-cap
• put in original amp (price key, volume value)
• copy & sort
• find index of last price
• fetch relevant keys left/right from that index
• put keys in new map and fetch volume associated with these keys (from original map)
Simple example (only show 5 lines)
bar 0, price = 2, volume = 23
bar 1, price = 4, volume = 3
bar 2, price = 8, volume = 21
bar 3, price = 6, volume = 7
bar 4, price = 9, volume = 13
bar 5, price = 5, volume = 85
bar 6, price = 3, volume = 13
bar 7, price = 1, volume = 4
bar 8, price = 7, volume = 9
Original map:
Copied keys array:
Sorted:
-> 5 keys around last price (7) are fetched (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
-> keys are placed into new map + volume values from original map
Lastly, these values are displayed.

Heikin-Ashi Rolling Time Decay Volume OscillatorThe indicator calculates a time-decayed moving sum of volume data for both bullish (green) and bearish (red) candles. It then generates a volume share oscillator as a smoothed and weighted (time-decayed) moving sum of bullish volume (positive share) or bearish volume (negative share) relative to the total volume.
The volume share is displayed as an area chart with gradient fills representing overbought and oversold regions. Additionally, an Arnaud Legoux Moving Average (ALMA) of the volume oscillator is plotted on the chart.
Trend Momentum and Price Control :
This indicator serves as a powerful tool for traders to gauge trend momentum and identify which side, bulls or bears, is controlling price movements. When the volume oscillator trends strongly in the green territory, it suggests that bulls are in control of price movements, indicating a potential uptrend. Conversely, when the oscillator tilts into the red, it indicates bearish dominance and a potential downtrend. With the incorporation of ALMA for smoothing, this indicator becomes an essential tool for traders and analysts navigating the dynamics of traded assets.
Source Candles :
This indicator is designed to work with Heiken Ashi or Japanese candlesticks to discern candle bias, whether it's red or green. Heiken Ashi tends to produce red candles during downtrends and green candles during uptrends, providing a clearer trend indication. In contrast, traditional candlesticks alternate colors regardless of the dominant price direction. Users can select between "Heikin-Ashi Candles" and regular "Japanese Candles" as the source for price direction."
A time decay cumulative sum, also known as a weighted moving sum or exponentially weighted moving sum, offers several advantages when it comes to determining market dynamics compared to other methods:
Responsive to Recent Data: Time decay cumulative sum gives more weight to recent data points and gradually reduces the impact of older data. This responsiveness is crucial in rapidly changing market conditions where recent price and volume information is more relevant for analysis.
Adaptive to Market Volatility : It adapts to changes in market volatility. When markets are highly volatile, it places more emphasis on recent data to reflect the current market environment accurately. Conversely, during calmer periods, it considers older data less important.
Effective for Identifying Turning Points : Time decay cumulative sums are particularly effective at identifying turning points in market dynamics. They can indicate shifts from bullish to bearish sentiment and vice versa, providing early signals of potential trend reversals.
Reduces Lag : Traditional cumulative sums or simple moving averages can lag behind actual market changes, making them less effective for real-time decision-making. Time decay cumulative sums reduce this lag by giving more weight to recent events.
Dynamic Weighting: The weighting scheme can be adjusted to fit specific market dynamics or trading strategies. Traders can customize the decay rate or smoothing factor to align with their analysis goals and timeframes.
Improved Signal Clarity : The time decay cumulative sum can provide clearer and more precise signals for overbought and oversold conditions, as well as trend strength, due to its ability to emphasize recent relevant data.

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

Dynamic Liquidity Map [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
Just a quick/fun project here: "Dynamic Heatmap".
This script draws a volume delta or open interest delta heatmap for the asset on your chart.
The adjective "Dynamic" is used for two reasons (:
1: Self-Adjusting Lower Timeframe Data
The script requests ~10 lower timeframe volume and open interest data sets.
When using the fixed range feature the script will, beginning at the start time, check the ~10 requested lower timeframes to see which of the lower timeframes has available data.
The script will always use the lowest timeframe available during the calculation period. As time continues, the script will continue to check if new lower timeframe data (lower than the currently used lowest timeframe) is available. This process repeats until bar time is close enough to the current time that 1-minute data can be retrieved.
The image above exemplifies the process.
Incrementally lower timeframe data will be used as it becomes available.
1: Fixed range capabilities
The script features a "fixed range" tool, where you can manually set a start time (or drag & drop a bar on the chart) to determine the interval the heatmap covers.
From the start date, the script will calculate the calculate the sub-intervals necessary to draw a rows x columns heatmap. Consequently, setting the start time further back will draw a heat map with larger rows x columns, whereas, a start time closer to the current bar time will draw a more "precise" heatmap with smaller rows x columns.
Additionally, the heatmap can be calculated using open interest data.
The image above shows the heatmap displaying open interest delta.
The image above shows alternative settings for the heatmap.
Delta values have been hidden alongside grid border colors. These settings can be replicated to achieve a more "traditional" feel for the heatmap.
Thanks for checking this out!
Volume SuperTrend AI (Expo)█ Overview
The Volume SuperTrend AI is an advanced technical indicator used to predict trends in price movements by utilizing a combination of traditional SuperTrend calculation and AI techniques, particularly the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm.
The Volume SuperTrend AI is designed to provide traders with insights into potential market trends, using both volume-weighted moving averages (VWMA) and the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm. By combining these approaches, the indicator aims to offer more precise predictions of price trends, offering bullish and bearish signals.
█ How It Works
Volume Analysis: By utilizing volume-weighted moving averages (VWMA), the Volume SuperTrend AI emphasizes the importance of trading volume in the trend direction, allowing it to respond more accurately to market dynamics.
Artificial Intelligence Integration - k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) Algorithm: The k-NN algorithm is employed to intelligently examine historical data points, measuring distances between current parameters and previous data. The nearest neighbors are utilized to create predictive modeling, thus adapting to intricate market patterns.
█ How to use
Trend Identification
The Volume SuperTrend AI indicator considers not only price movement but also trading volume, introducing an extra dimension to trend analysis. By integrating volume data, the indicator offers a more nuanced and robust understanding of market trends. When trends are supported by high trading volumes, they tend to be more stable and reliable. In practice, a green line displayed beneath the price typically suggests an upward trend, reflecting a bullish market sentiment. Conversely, a red line positioned above the price signals a downward trend, indicative of bearish conditions.
Trend Continuation signals
The AI algorithm is the fundamental component in the coloring of the Volume SuperTrend. This integration serves as a means of predicting the trend while preserving the inherent characteristics of the SuperTrend. By maintaining these essential features, the AI-enhanced Volume SuperTrend allows traders to more accurately identify and capitalize on trend continuation signals.
TrailingStop
The Volume SuperTrend AI indicator serves as a dynamic trailing stop loss, adjusting with both price movement and trading volume. This approach protects profits while allowing the trade room to grow, taking into account volume for a more nuanced response to market changes.
█ Settings
AI Settings:
Neighbors (k):
This setting controls the number of nearest neighbors to consider in the k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) algorithm. By adjusting this parameter, you can directly influence the sensitivity of the model to local fluctuations in the data. A lower value of k may lead to predictions that closely follow short-term trends but may be prone to noise. A higher value of k can provide more stable predictions, considering the broader context of market trends, but might lag in responsiveness.
Data (n):
This setting refers to the number of data points to consider in the model. It allows the user to define the size of the dataset that will be analyzed. A larger value of n may provide more comprehensive insights by considering a wider historical context but can increase computational complexity. A smaller value of n focuses on more recent data, possibly providing quicker insights but might overlook longer-term trends.
AI Trend Settings:
Price Trend & Prediction Trend:
These settings allow you to adjust the lengths of the weighted moving averages that are used to calculate both the price trend and the prediction trend. Shorter lengths make the trends more responsive to recent price changes, capturing quick market movements. Longer lengths smooth out the trends, filtering out noise, and highlighting more persistent market directions.
AI Trend Signals:
This toggle option enables or disables the trend signals generated by the AI. Activating this function may assist traders in identifying key trend shifts and opportunities for entry or exit. Disabling it may be preferred when focusing on other aspects of the analysis.
Super Trend Settings:
Length:
This setting determines the length of the SuperTrend, affecting how it reacts to price changes. A shorter length will produce a more sensitive SuperTrend, reacting quickly to price fluctuations. A longer length will create a smoother SuperTrend, reducing false alarms but potentially lagging behind real market changes.
Factor:
This parameter is the multiplier for the Average True Range (ATR) in SuperTrend calculation. By adjusting the factor, you can control the distance of the SuperTrend from the price. A higher factor makes the SuperTrend further from the price, giving more room for price movement but possibly missing shorter-term signals. A lower factor brings the SuperTrend closer to the price, making it more reactive but possibly more prone to false signals.
Moving Average Source:
This setting lets you choose the type of moving average used for the SuperTrend calculation, such as Simple Moving Average (SMA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), etc.
Different types of moving averages provide various characteristics to the SuperTrend, enabling customization to align with individual trading strategies and market conditions.

Exceptional Volume Spike - Potential Trend Reversal IndicatorWhat the Script Does:
The indicator aims to identify potential trend reversal points using the following steps:
Input Parameters: The script has three main input parameters that you can adjust:
relative_volume_threshold: This parameter sets the threshold for what is considered an exceptional volume spike in relation to the average volume.
ema_length: The length of the exponential moving average (EMA) used for smoothing calculations.
lookback_period: The period over which the script calculates potential support and resistance levels.
Relative Volume Calculation: The script calculates the relative volume by dividing the current volume by the average volume over the specified lookback_period.
Exceptional Volume Spikes: The script identifies exceptional volume spikes when the calculated relative volume exceeds the specified relative_volume_threshold.
EMA of Exceptional Volume Spikes: The script calculates the exponential moving average (EMA) of volume spikes. This EMA smooths out the volume spikes over the chosen ema_length.
Trend Direction: The script determines the trend direction using the crossovers of the EMA of exceptional volume spikes. If the EMA crosses above the EMA of regular volume (not spikes), it suggests a potential upward trend reversal. Conversely, if the EMA crosses below, it suggests a potential downward trend reversal.
Support and Resistance Levels: The script calculates potential support and resistance levels based on the highest high (hh) and lowest low (ll) over the specified lookback_period. These levels are then plotted on the chart.
Plot Shapes and EMA: The script plots triangle shapes below the bars for potential upward reversals and above the bars for potential downward reversals. Additionally, it plots the EMA of the closing price with different colors based on the trend direction.
By using this script as an indicator on your chart, you can visually assess potential trend reversal points based on exceptional volume spikes, trend direction crossovers, and support/resistance levels. Remember that this script serves as a tool to assist your analysis, and it's important to combine it with other technical analysis tools and strategies before making trading decisions.

OBV Oscillator Volume FilterOBV Oscillator Volume Filter
Introduction
The On-Balance Volume (OBV) is a widely-used technical indicator that aims to relate price and volume in trading. Price and volume are two of the most basic and yet crucial concepts in price movement. Together, they can reveal a lot about the instruments trends and the market's sentiment. This On Balance Volume (OBV) Oscillator incorporates enhanced features like a volume filter using a rolling window to detect outliers in accumulated volume, making it an advanced and more refined version of the standard OBV.
Interpreting the OBV Indicator
The primary function of the OBV is to accumulate volume. In simpler terms:
When the market closes higher than the previous candle, all of that candle's volume is considered 'up-volume'.
Conversely, when the market closes lower than the previous day, all of that candle's volume is considered 'down-volume'.
A rising OBV suggests that volume is being accumulated, indicating bullish market sentiment. A declining OBV, on the other hand, points to a bearish sentiment.
Features of the Script
1. Moving Averages Selection:
The script provides users with the option to select among six types of moving averages (EMA, DEMA, TEMA, SMA, WMA, HMA) to calculate the OBV. This feature offers flexibility and enables traders to choose an MA type they're most comfortable with or find the most effective.
2. Smoothing Option:
To reduce the inherent noise in the indicator, there's an option to apply smoothing. It uses a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to produce a clearer signal, making it easier for traders to interpret and respond to. If you don't want to use smoothing, just simply change the input length of smoothing to 1 in the settings.
3. Outlier Detection:
One of the standout features is the use of a rolling window to detect volume outliers. This ensures that the OBV only reacts to significant volume changes and isn't overly influenced by random spikes or drops. The volume filter is calculated based on a % of the highest OBV volume of X number of bars back. Users can adjust the time (# bars) and the sensitivity (%) of the volume filter. A longer timeperiode (# bars) and a higher % (sensitivity) in the settings result to less signals presented by the indicator.
4. Divergence Detection:
The script automatically highlights both regular and hidden divergences on the chart. Divergences can be a powerful signal of potential price reversals. This feature aids traders in spotting potential buy or sell opportunities based on divergences between price and OBV.
Regular Bullish Divergence: When the price makes lower lows, but the OBV makes higher lows.
Hidden Bullish Divergence: When the price makes higher lows, but the OBV makes lower lows.
Regular Bearish Divergence: When the price makes higher highs, but the OBV makes lower highs.
Hidden Bearish Divergence: When the price makes lower highs, but the OBV makes higher highs.
5. Alerts for Trend Reversals:
The script incorporates alerts that notify traders when the OBV indicates potential trend reversals. This feature can be instrumental in catching early entries or exits.
Disclaimer
It's crucial to understand that no single indicator should be used in isolation. To increase the probability of making accurate market predictions, always use the OBV Oscillator in conjunction with other indicators and tools. Remember that all trading involves risk, and it's possible to lose your invested capital. Always seek advice from a financial advisor before making any trading decisions. By enhancing the OBV with features like the volume filter, multiple MA types, smoothing, and divergence detection, this script becomes a potent tool in a trader's arsenal. Use it wisely, and always ensure to maintain proper risk management.

Trend Change DetectorThe trend change detector oscillator is a tool designed to help traders identify the current trend direction paired with the potential reversal zones.
The oscillator is made of multiple parts:
- The colored histogram, that displays the current long-term trend direction (long if above 0, short if below)
- The trend line, which shows the price in relation to the fair value of the current trend
- The reversal zones, which are the area that alarms the traders that the price might reverse soon after having touched them
The indicator can work with three different inputs. In the Source panel, you can choose between "Price", "Price and Volume" and "Ponderated Volume". The price input uses only the price, the price and volume use the average between the price and the ponderated volume, and the ponderated volume shows the indicator working with volume data, with formulas such as the On Balance Volume and the Accumulation-Distribution line.
This indicator can be used both for trend following technique, using the cross of the trend line with the 0-line as signals in conjunction with the bias given by the histogram, and for mean reversal technique thanks to the reversal zones that allow traders to identify potential tops and bottoms.
Filtered Volume Profile [ChartPrime]The "Filtered Volume Profile" is a powerful tool that offers insights into market activity. It's a technical analysis tool used to understand the behavior of financial markets. It uses a fixed range volume profile to provide a histogram representing how much volume occurred at distinct price levels.
Profile in action with various significant levels displayed
How to Use
The script is designed to analyze cumulative trading volumes in different price bins over a certain period, also known as `'lookback'`. This lookback period can be defined by the user and it represents the number of bars to look back for calculating levels of support and resistance.
The `'Smoothing'` input determines the degree to which the output is smoothed. Higher values lead to smoother results but may impede the responsiveness of the indicator to rapid changes in volatility.
The `'Peak Sensitivity'` input is used to adjust the sensitivity of the script's peak detection algorithm. Setting this to a lower value makes the algorithm more sensitive to local changes in trading volume and may result in "noisier" outputs.
The `'Peak Threshold'` input specifies the number of bins that the peak detection mechanism should account for. Larger numbers imply that more volume bins are taken into account, and the resultant peaks are based on wider intervals.
The `'Mean Score Length'` input is used for scaling the mean score range. This is particularly important in defining the length of lookback bars that will be used to calculate the average close price.
Sinc Filter
The application of the sinc-filter to the Filtered Volume Profile reduces the risk of viewing artefacts that may misrepresent the underlying market behavior. Sinc filtering is a high-quality and sharp filter that doesn't manifest any ringing effects, making it an optimal choice for such volume profiling.
Histogram
On the histogram, the volume profile is colored based on the balance of bullish to bearish volume. If a particular bar is more intense in color, it represents a larger than usual volume during a single price bar. This is a clear signal of a strong buying or selling pressure at a particular price level.
Threshold for Peaks
The `peak_thresh` input determines the number of bins the algorithm takes in account for the peak detection feature. The 'peak' represents the level where a significant amount of volume trading has occurred, and usually is of interest as an indicative of support or resistance level.
By increasing the `peak_thresh`, you're raising the bar for what the algorithm perceives as a peak. This could result in fewer, but more significant peaks being identified.
History of Volume Profiles and Evolution into Sinc Filtering
Volume profiling has a rich history in market analysis, dating back to the 1950s when Richard D. Wyckoff, a legendary trader, introduced the concept of volume studies. He understood the critical significance of volume and its relationship with market price movement. The core of Wyckoff's technical analysis suite was the relationship between prices and volume, often termed as "Effort vs Results".
Moving forward, in the early 1800s, the esteemed mathematician J. R. Carson made key improvements to the sinc function, which formed the basis for sinc filtering application in time series data. Following these contributions, trading studies continued to create and integrate more advanced statistical measures into market analysis.
This culminated in the 1980s with J. Peter Steidlmayer’s introduction of Market Profile. He suggested that markets were a function of continuous two-way auction processes thus introducing the concept of viewing markets in price/time continuum and price distribution forms. Steidlmayer's Market Profile was the first wide-scale operation of organized volume and price data.
However, despite the introduction of such features, challenges in the analysis persisted, especially due to noise that could misinform trading decisions. This gap has given rise to the need for smoothing functions to help eliminate the noise and better interpret the data. Among such techniques, the sinc filter has become widely recognized within the trading community.
The sinc filter, because of its properties of constructing a smooth passing through all data points precisely and its ability to eliminate high-frequency noise, has been considered a natural transition in the evolution of volume profile strategies. The superior ability of the sinc filter to reduce noise and shield against over-fitting makes it an ideal choice for smoothing purposes in trading scripts, particularly where volume profiling forms the crux of the market analysis strategy, such as in Filtered Volume Profile.
Moving ahead, the use of volume-based studies seems likely to remain a core part of technical analysis. As long as markets operate based on supply and demand principles, understanding volume will remain key to discerning the intent behind price movements. And with the incorporation of advanced methods like sinc filtering, the accuracy and insight provided by these methodologies will only improve.
Mean Score
The mean score in the Filtered Volume Profile script plays an important role in probabilistic inferences regarding future price direction. This score essentially characterizes the statistical likelihood of price trends based on historical data.
The mean score is calculated over a configurable `'Mean Score Length'`. This variable sets the window or the timeframe for calculation of the mean score of the closing prices.
Statistically, this score takes advantage of the concept of z-scores and probabilities associated with the t-distribution (a type of probability distribution that is symmetric and bell-shaped, just like the standard normal distribution, but has heavier tails).
The z-score represents how many standard deviations an element is from the mean. In this case, the "element" is the price level (Point of Control).
The mean score section of the script calculates standard errors for the root mean squared error (RMSE) and addresses the uncertainty in the prediction of the future value of a random variable.
The RMSE of a model prediction concerning observed values is used to measure the differences between values predicted by a model and the values observed.
The lower the RMSE, the better the model is able to predict. A zero RMSE means a perfect fit to the data. In essence, it's a measure of how concentrated the data is around the line of best fit.
Through the mean score, the script effectively predicts the likelihood of the future close price being above or below our identified price level.
Summary
Filtered Volume Profile is a comprehensive trading view indicator which utilizes volume profiling, peak detection, mean score computations, and sinc-filter smoothing, altogether providing the finer details of market behavior.
It offers a customizable look back period, smoothing options, and peak sensitivity setting along with a uniquely set peak threshold. The application of the Sinc Filter ensures a high level of accuracy and noise reduction in volume profiling, making this script a reliable tool for gaining market insights.
Furthermore, the use of mean score calculations provides probabilistic insights into price movements, thus providing traders with a statistically sound foundation for their trading decisions. As trading markets advance, the use of such methodologies plays a pivotal role in formulating effective trading strategies and the Filtered Volume Profile is a successful embodiment of such advancements in the field of market analysis.
Daily Network Value to Transactions Signal (NVTS)
Quote of GlassNode ...
The NVT Signal (NVTS) is a modified version of the original NVT Ratio.
It uses a 90 day moving average of the daily transaction volume in the denominator instead of the raw daily transaction volume.
This moving average improves the ratio to better function as a leading indicator.
The Network Value to Transactions (NVT) Ratio is calculated by dividing the market cap by the transferred on-chain volume measured in USD.
GlassNode says the NVT Ratio was created by Willy Woo.
I have peaked into Glassnode and took their idea.
I also added a few more Moving Averages to select from, and the length can also be changed.
This script does not depend on Glassnode alone, instead I pulls data of several services...

Therefor we have more Tokens to select from.
I have also blocked some faulty data of each service.
If you get a study error of any kind then there is no data available,
or you on a wrong timeframe.
Best to use this script in a daily chart.
And keep in mind it pulls data of yesterday.
Therefor the plot is offset by 1 to the left.
