VWAP with Prev. Session BandsVWAP with Prev. Session Bands is an advanced indicator based on TradingView’s original VWAP. It adds configurable standard deviation or percentage-based bands, both for the current and previous session. You can anchor the VWAP to various timeframes or events (like Sessions, Weeks, Months, Earnings, etc.) and selectively show up to three bands.
The unique feature of this script is the ability to display the VWAP and bands from the previous session, helping traders visualize mean reversion levels or historical volatility ranges.
Built on top of the official TradingView VWAP implementation, this version provides enhanced flexibility and visual clarity for intraday and swing traders alike.
Volume
BuySell Volume Bar Chart• Separates estimated Buy and Sell volume per bar using price action logic
• Plots them in a dual-axis format: buy volume goes up, sell volume goes down
• Colors are dynamic — whichever side dominates gets the stronger color, the weaker side is shaded
• Includes a live difference metric (Δ Volume) as a third value in the indicator title
• Automatically filters out flat/no-move bars to avoid misleading spikes
The live difference metric ("Δ Volume") can be controlled.
This metric calculates the difference between the buying and selling volume live, where it takes the Buy Volume - Sell Volume.
This difference is then displayed in either green (BV > SV) or red (SV > BV). You can toggle it on/off by entering the indicator's settings or double tapping the indicator name on the TV chart.
Another pretty cool thing is the modular colors - you can customize your candle colors and shades to your liking within the code!

Multi-Timeframe Liquidity Levels – Automatic High/Low Tracking
This indicator automatically tracks and draws liquidity levels (recent highs and lows) from up to 6 custom timeframes directly on your chart. It’s designed for advanced traders who want to visualize important swing points and liquidity pools across multiple timeframes—ideal for Smart Money Concepts (SMC), ICT, and price action trading.
Key Features:
Multi-Timeframe Support:
Select up to 6 different timeframes (ex: 1H, 4H, Daily, Weekly, etc.), each with separate color and visibility controls.
Real Liquidity (No Repaint):
Levels are only drawn from fully closed bars on each timeframe—no lines from currently forming candles, ensuring accuracy and no forward-looking bias.
Automatic Detection:
Highs and lows are detected automatically. Levels that get swept (price breaks through) are converted to dashed lines for easy visual distinction.
Customizable:
Choose line colors for highs/lows and set the maximum number of active levels per timeframe to keep charts clean.
Extended Lines:
All levels are extended to the right, helping you see how current price interacts with past liquidity.
How It Works:
On every new bar of your chosen higher timeframe(s), the indicator records the high and low of the previous (just-closed) candle.
These levels are extended as rays until price sweeps (crosses) them.
When a level is swept, it is redrawn as a dashed line to highlight liquidity grabs or stop hunts.
No lines are drawn for the “live” bar—only confirmed, closed levels are displayed.
Who is this for?
SMC, ICT, and price action traders seeking high-confidence liquidity zones.
Intraday, swing, and multi-timeframe traders who want an automated, visual edge.
Anyone wanting to avoid repainting or “fake” levels from unfinished candles.
Tip:
Combine this indicator with your favorite order block, fair value gap (FVG), or market structure tools for even greater context and confluence.
Disclaimer:
No indicator guarantees profits. Always use with proper risk management and in conjunction with your trading plan.
Volume Dominance (Multi-Timeframe)Volume dominance is a mathematical concept i invented by separating up volume and down volume, and replacing the opposing elements in the averaging arrays with zeroes.
positive volume dominance is calculated by taking the average of volumes with a positive price direction over a period. for every volume with a negative price direction within the period, a zero is added to the averaging array.
Dpv = sum(upVol + (dnVol * 0)) / length
Dnv = sum(dnVol + (upVol * 0)) / length
Dpv = Dominance of Positive volume
Dnv = Dominance of Negative volume
upVol = total volume of upward filtered candles within length array
dnVol = total volume of downward filtered candles within length array
the user can see positive and negative volume dominance and read the label at the end of the plot to see the breadth of the dominance gap.
the user can select between using EMA and SMA to compute the dominance averages.
when the yellow center line moves with the change of a dominance line, it indicates strong directional force.
Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
The Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer is a smart tool for exposing hidden liquidity zones by combining a dynamic volume profile, clear liquidity levels, and intuitive volume bubbles directly on your price chart. It shows you exactly where significant volume is clustering inside your chosen lookback period — highlighting where big market participants may be defending price or planning breakouts.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Volume Profile Bins: Breaks your custom lookback range into 100 fine price bins, calculating total volume per bin to create a precise vertical liquidity histogram.
Liquidity Levels: Bins with high relative volume automatically plot as horizontal lines — thicker and brighter lines signal stronger liquidity concentrations.
Dynamic Coloring: Profile bins and liquidity levels adjust their colors live based on whether current price is trading above (support) or below (resistance).
Volume Bubbles: Each candle displays a bubble at its HLC3 price —
- The bubble’s size shows relative candle volume.
- Its color gradient indicates bullish or bearish volume: greenish for bullish candles, orange for bearish.
Bubble Labels: The largest bubbles automatically label the actual volume amount, revealing big hidden flows.
Range Box High/Low: Marks the absolute swing high and low inside the lookback window, clearly framing the active liquidity zone.
🔵 FEATURES
Smart, auto-scaled volume profile up to 200 candles (or custom).
Liquidity levels with dynamic thickness and color based on real-time volume.
Bubbles sized and colored to show both volume magnitude and bullish/bearish bias.
Largest bubbles labeled for fast detection of high-impact bars.
High and low price labels clearly show the analyzed range.
Toggle Volume Profile, Liquidity Levels, and Bubbles independently.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Watch for thick, bright liquidity levels — these zones mark where large orders or stop clusters are likely hidden.
Use dynamic coloring: if price is above a level, it’s support; if below, it’s resistance.
Pay special attention to big bubbles: these mark sudden spikes in traded volume and can signal absorption, traps, breakouts or significant price levels.
Combine with your existing confluence tools to confirm breakouts or fakeouts around visible liquidity clusters.
🔵 CONCLUSION
The Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer transforms hidden order flow into an intuitive, color-coded map. You see at a glance where price is absorbing, consolidating, or ready to break — all powered by real-time volume behavior and smart visuals. It’s a must-have tool for traders who want to read liquidity and react ahead of the crowd.
Pivot Channel LevelsPivot Channel Levels
Indicator Description
“Pivot Channel Levels” is an advanced technical analysis tool that identifies key price pivots (highs and lows) and creates dynamic support and resistance levels based on the wicks of candles at these points (or bodies if wicks are minimal). The indicator analyzes the volume at the time of a pivot’s formation, displaying its value and percentage change relative to the volume’s simple moving average (SMA).
It does not generate buy/sell signals but provides a clear visualization of market structure, helping traders identify potential price reaction zones and assess the strength of market movements.
Why Are Wicks Important?
Candle wicks at price pivots indicate significant market reactions in key areas. Depending on the context, they may signal rejection, testing, or absorption of a support or resistance level. Long wicks often appear where large players are active, and the marked zones are frequently retested. The indicator allows for quick identification and observation of their impact on future price action.
Why Use It?
- Precise Support and Resistance Levels: The indicator draws price channels based on candle wicks at pivots (or bodies if wicks are absent), enabling better identification of zones where price may react.
- Volume Analysis: It shows how the volume at a pivot differs from the average, indicating potential activity by large players or key market moments.
- Visual Clarity: Colored lines, channel fills, and clear labels facilitate quick chart analysis, even on short timeframes.
- Flexibility: Adjustable pivot length, volume average, and label colors allow customization to various trading strategies.
How It Works
- Pivot Detection: Automatically identifies local highs and lows based on the “Pivot Length” parameter (default: 20 candles). This means a pivot appears on the chart with a 20-candle delay. Reducing this value allows faster pivot detection (after fewer candles), increasing their number but potentially generating more noise.
- Channel Creation: Draws support and resistance levels based on the wicks of candles at pivot points (or bodies if wicks are minimal) with a delay to confirm zones. A pivot channel is drawn until the next pivot is identified, but if not previously broken, it remains valid as active support or resistance.
- Volume Analysis: Displays the volume at the pivot’s formation and its percentage change relative to the volume’s SMA.
- Visualization: Pivot and channel levels are shown as lines with fills, and labels display volume and its deviation from the average.
Trading Applications
- Swing Trading: Use pivot levels and channels to identify price reversal points or consolidation zones.
- Scalping: Monitor price reactions to channels on short timeframes, especially with high volume.
- Faster Pivot Identification: Switch to a lower timeframe (e.g., from H1 to M15) to identify pivots more quickly, allowing earlier reactions to price changes.
- Market Context Analysis: High volume at pivots may indicate significant levels likely to be retested.
- Combining with Other Tools: The indicator pairs well with Fibonacci retracement, supply/demand zones, or oscillators like RSI.
Settings and Customization
- Pivot Length: Determines how many candles back and forward are analyzed to detect pivots (default: 20). A smaller value increases sensitivity, a larger one enhances stability.
- Volume Average: Length of the SMA for volume (default: 20). Adjust to better reflect market characteristics.
- Label Colors: Choose colors for bullish and bearish pivot labels to match your chart style.
Usage Examples
- Identifying Key Zones: If the price approaches a pivot level with high volume (e.g., +50% relative to SMA), it may signal strong support or resistance.
- Breakout Confirmation: A channel breakout with high volume can indicate trend continuation.
- Price Reaction Analysis: Long wicks at pivots with high volume may signal level rejection by large players.
Notes for Users
- The indicator performs best on highly liquid markets (e.g., Forex, indices, cryptocurrencies).
- On short timeframes (e.g., M1, M5), it may generate more noise—adjust “Pivot Length” to suit your needs.
- Consider combining with other indicators to confirm signals derived from pivot and volume analysis.
VSA-Stopping VolumeVSA Stopping Volume Indicator
Stopping Volume occurs when candles show decreasing body sizes (narrow spreads) while volume steadily increases.
Example chart:
As you see:
3 consecutive candles in same direction (all green OR all red)
Body sizes (spreads) decreasing progressively: Candle 1 > Candle 2 > Candle 3
Volume increasing progressively: Volume 1 < Volume 2 < Volume 3
This pattern indicates price absorption - increased buying/selling pressure but declining price movement, often signaling exhaustion and potential reversal.
Indicator Features
This indicator detects Stopping Volume candlestick clusters with two signal types:
🔹 BUY/SELL Signals: Generated when pattern occurs at support/resistance zones
🔹 Directional Alerts (▲-green, ▼-red): Generated when pattern occurs outside key levels
Trading Guidelines:
⚠️ Auto-drawn S/R zones are reference only - manual level plotting recommended for accuracy
📊 Best for scalping: M5, M10, M15 timeframes
🛡️ Stop Loss: Place beyond the S/R zone you're trading
🎯 Take Profit: Based on your risk management
Key Concept: Volume expansion + price contraction = potential reversal, especially at SnR levels.
Perfect for scalpers looking to catch reversals at critical zones!
Sniper Mini VWAPThis script plots dynamic, session-based VWAPs for key intraday timeframes:
1H (green), 4H (orange), 8H (purple), and Daily (red).
Each VWAP resets at the start of its own session, giving traders a real-time view of price relative to average volume-weighted value. These lines often act as intraday support, resistance, or liquidity magnets — great for scalping, fade setups, and sniper-style entries.
You can toggle each VWAP on or off for a cleaner chart.
This version does not use anchored VWAPs — it’s designed for traders who need fast feedback as price develops within active sessions.
Up/Down Volume Delta %this script is based on FractalTrade_'s rendition of the up/down volume bars.
the shortcomings of that chart were that large volume bars caused the auto-scaling to shrink smaller volume bar displays to the point where much of the data was too small to see.
in this chart, the bars are displaying the percent delta out of the total bar volume. this way, large overall volume bars do not cause visual compression to everything else in the chart.
I've used color modulation to indicate relation to a relative volume point, so users can still tell when overall volume is large or small. when volume is under a moving average, the bars will display at a basis transparency. when the volume is over the average, the brightness will increase up to a specific ratio of volume defined by the user.
for example, if basis transparency is at 20, and the full opacity ratio is at 3, and the volume average is at 1M, a volume of 750k will display the delta bar at the basis transparency. a volume of 3M will achieve full brightness. a volume of 2M will display with moderate brightness (about 60%), but still stand out against other bars with basis transparency.
areas of the chart that are either increasing bar sizes or increasing in brightness can indicate directional force. when volume delta direction contradicts the candle direction, this can indicate support / resistance.
Session VWAPsThis indicator plots volume-weighted average price (VWAP) lines for three major trading sessions: Tokyo, London, and New York. Each VWAP resets at the start of its session and tracks the average price weighted by volume during that window. You can choose the exact session times, turn individual sessions on or off, and optionally extend each VWAP line until the end of the trading day.
It’s designed to give you a clear view of how price is behaving relative to session-specific value areas. This can help in identifying session overlaps, shifts in price control, or whether price is holding above or below a particular session’s average. The indicator supports futures-style day rollovers and works across markets.

Fair Value Gap Profiles [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script draws and manages Fair Value Gap (FVG) zones by detecting unfilled gaps in price action and then augmenting them with intra-gap volume profiles from a lower timeframe. It is designed to help traders find potential areas where price may return to fill liquidity voids, and to provide extra detail about volume distribution inside each gap to assess strength and likely mitigation. The script automatically tracks each gap, updates its state over time, and can show which gaps are still unfilled or have been mitigated.
🟠 CONCEPTS
A Fair Value Gap is a zone between candles where no trades occurred, often seen as an inefficiency that price later revisits. The script checks each bar to see if a bullish (low above 2-bars-ago high) or bearish (high below 2-bars-ago low) gap has formed, and measures whether the gap’s size exceeds a threshold defined by a volatility-adjusted multiplier of past gap widths (to only detect significantly large gaps). Once a qualified gap is found, it gets recorded and visualized with a box that can stretch forward in time until filled. To add more context, a mini volume profile is built from a lower timeframe’s price and volume data, showing how volume is distributed inside the gap. The lowest-volume subzone is also highlighted using a sliding window scan method to visualise the true gap (area with least trading activity)
🟠 FEATURES
Visual gap boxes that appear automatically when bullish or bearish fair value gaps are detected on the chart.
Color-coded zones showing bullish gaps in one color and bearish gaps in another so you can easily see which side the gap favors.
Volume profile histograms plotted inside each gap using data from a lower timeframe, helping you see where volume concentrated inside the gap area.
Highlight of the lowest-volume subzone within each gap so you can spot areas price may target when filling the gap.
Dynamic extension of the gap boxes across the chart until price comes back and fills them, marking them as mitigated.
Customizable colors and transparency settings for gap boxes, profiles, and low-volume highlights to match your chart style.
Alerts that notify you when a new gap is created or when price fills an existing gap.
🟠 USAGE
This indicator helps you find and track unfilled price gaps that often act as magnets for price to revisit. You can use it to spot areas where liquidity may rest and plan entries or exits around these zones.
The colored gap boxes show you exactly where a fair value gap starts and ends, so you can anticipate potential pullbacks or continuations when price approaches them.
The intra-gap volume profile lets you gauge whether the gap was created on strong or thin participation, which can help judge how likely it is to be filled. The highlighted lowest-volume subzone shows where price might accelerate once inside the gap.
Traders often look for entries when price returns to a gap, aiming for a reaction or reversal in that area. You can also combine the mitigation alerts with your trade management to track when gaps have been closed and adjust your bias accordingly. Overall, the tool gives a clear visual reference for imbalance zones that can help structure trades around supply and demand dynamics.
Absorption DetectorABSORPTION DETECTOR -
The Absorption Detector identifies institutional order flow by detecting "absorption" patterns where smart money quietly accumulates or distributes positions by absorbing retail order flow. This creates high-probability support and resistance zones for trading. This is an approximation only and does not read any footprint data.
WHAT IS ABSORPTION?
Absorption occurs when institutions take the opposite side of retail trades, creating specific candlestick patterns with high volume and significant wicks. The indicator identifies two main patterns:
SELLING ABSORPTION (P-Pattern): Red zones above candles where institutions sell into retail buying pressure, creating resistance levels. Look for high volume candles with large upper wicks that close in the lower half.
BUYING ABSORPTION (B-Pattern): Green zones below candles where institutions buy from retail selling pressure, creating support levels. Look for high volume candles with large lower wicks that close in the upper half.
KEY FEATURES
- Automatic detection of institutional absorption patterns
- Dynamic support and resistance zone creation
- Customizable styling for all visual elements
- Historic zone display for backtesting analysis
- Strength-based filtering to show only high-probability setups
- Real-time alerts for new absorption patterns
- Professional info panel with key statistics
- Multi-timeframe compatibility
MAIN SETTINGS
Volume Threshold (1.2): Minimum volume surge required compared to average. Higher values = fewer but stronger signals.
Minimum Volume (2500): Absolute volume floor to prevent signals during low-volume periods.
Min Wick Size (0.2): Minimum wick size as ATR multiple. Ensures significant rejection occurred.
Minimum Strength (1.5): Combined volume and wick strength filter. Higher values = higher quality signals.
Show Historic Zones (OFF): Enable to see all historical zones for backtesting. Disable for better performance.
Zone Extension (20): How many bars to project zones forward for anticipating future reactions.
TRADING APPROACH
ZONE REACTION STRATEGY: Wait for price to approach absorption zones and trade the bounce or rejection. Use the zones as dynamic support and resistance levels.
BREAKOUT STRATEGY: Trade decisive breaks of strong absorption zones with proper risk management. Failed zones often lead to strong moves.
CONFLUENCE TRADING: Combine absorption zones with other technical analysis for highest probability setups. Look for alignment with trend lines, Fibonacci levels, and key support/resistance.
RISK MANAGEMENT: Always use stop losses beyond the absorption zones. Target minimum 1:2 risk-reward ratios. Position size appropriately based on zone strength.
OPTIMIZATION GUIDE
For Conservative Trading (fewer, higher quality signals):
- Volume Threshold: 1.5
- Minimum Strength: 2.0
- Min Wick Size: 0.3
For Aggressive Trading (more signals, requires careful filtering):
- Volume Threshold: 1.1
- Minimum Strength: 1.0
- Min Wick Size: 0.15
BEST PRACTICES
Markets: Works best on liquid instruments with good volume - major forex pairs, popular stocks, liquid futures, and established cryptocurrencies.
Timeframes: Effective on all timeframes from 1-minute scalping to daily swing trading. Adjust settings based on your timeframe and trading style.
Confirmation: Never trade absorption signals in isolation. Always combine with trend analysis, market structure, and proper risk management.
Session Timing: Be aware of market sessions and avoid trading during low liquidity periods or major news events.
Backtesting: Use the historic zones feature to validate performance on your chosen market and timeframe before live trading.
CUSTOMIZATION
The indicator offers complete visual customization including zone colors, border styles, label appearances, and info panel positioning. All colors can be adapted to match your chart theme and personal preferences.
Alert system provides both basic and custom message alerts for real-time notifications of new absorption patterns.
PERFORMANCE NOTES
Default settings are optimized for most markets and timeframes. For best performance on older charts, keep "Show Historic Zones" disabled unless specifically backtesting.
The indicator maintains excellent performance even with extensive historical analysis enabled, handling up to 500 zones and 100 labels for comprehensive backtesting.
Aggregated VolumeHow to Read the “Aggregated Volume” Signal
This indicator combines normalized volume, short-term volume bursts, pivot levels, VWAP, and a 200-period EMA to give you a multi-dimensional view of trading activity. Here’s how to interpret each component and synthesize them into actionable insights.
1. Custom Volume Signal (vSignal)
• Calculation
• vSignal = Sum of over bars, divided by the current price.
• A rising vSignal means more volume is being traded per unit of price, signaling growing interest relative to price level.
• Plot styling
• Bars are lime when (bullish volume days)
• Bars are orange when (bearish volume days)
How to read it
• Trend confirmation: Increasing lime bars alongside rising price suggests buyers in control.
• Warning sign: Rising orange bars on a down move indicate accelerating selling pressure.
• Divergence:
• Price making new highs while vSignal stalls or drops → potential top.
• Price making new lows while vSignal holds → potential bottom.
2. Short-Term Volume Bursts
Three semi-transparent histograms show how much the last 2, 5, and 10-bar raw volumes exceed (or fall below) the current vSignal:
• Blue = vol(2) – vSignal
• Green = vol(5) – vSignal
• Red = vol(10) – vSignal
If a colored bar sits above zero, that lookback’s volume is surging relative to the longer-term average (vSignal).
How to read it
• Clustered bursts:
• Blue + Green + Red above zero → strong, broad-based volume surge.
• Great for confirming breakouts and shakeouts.
• Isolated burst:
• Only Blue (> 0) on a small range bar → might be a false breakout or intrabar squeeze.
• Only Red (> 0) on a wide range → institutional involvement; act with caution.
3. Pivot Volume Levels (v & t)
• Every 21 bars, the script finds the highest and lowest vSignal values and plots them as shaded price levels:
• Magenta area = recent vSignal high (resistance)
• Cyan area = recent vSignal low (support)
How to read it
• Rejection/Break:
• Price approaches magenta zone and stalls → sellers defending that volume high.
• Break above magenta with high vSignal → likely sustained rally.
• Support flip:
• Cyan zone hold → buyers stepping in at heavy-volume lows.
• Break below cyan with rising vSignal → bearish conviction.
4. Midline Cross (Volume Equilibrium)
• A 10-bar SMA of
• Drawn as a faint white cross on price
How to read it
• Above midline → overall volume bias is skewed bullish.
• Below midline → bearish volume bias.
Crossovers of vSignal through this midline can signal shifts in underlying conviction.
5. VWAP & 200-Period EMA Overlays
• VWAP (transparent red if above price, green if below)
• EMA(200) plotted as aqua circles
How to read them
• VWAP tells you the intraday “value area.”
• Price above VWAP + rising vSignal = intraday buyers in charge.
• Price below VWAP + rising vSignal = aggressive sellers.
• EMA(200) gives you the longer-term trend.
• Above EMA200 = bullish regime
• Below EMA200 = bearish regime
6. Putting It All Together: Example Scenarios
1. Bullish Entry
• Price > EMA200 & VWAP is green
• vSignal rising in lime
• All three short-term bursts above zero
• Price near or breaking the magenta pivot with volume confirmation
2. Bearish Entry
• Price < EMA200 & VWAP is red
• vSignal rising in orange
• Two-bar burst (blue) spikes on a down bar
• Price failing at magenta pivot or breaking cyan support
3. Divergence Play
• Price makes new high, but vSignal peaks lower than last high → look for a reversal.
• Price drops to new low, but vSignal stays above its last low → prepare for a bounce.
By combining these layers—normalized volume, burst indicators, pivot levels, VWAP, and EMA—you get a clear map of where volume is clustering, which lets you anticipate support/resistance, gauge real interest, and spot potential reversals or breakouts with greater confidence.

ds-Volume with Flags & Alerts v1.2ds-Volume with Flags & Alerts: User & Training Guide
1. Summary of Features
This indicator is a powerful, all-in-one tool designed to give you a deep and customizable view of market volume. By analyzing volume in multiple ways, it helps you spot unusual activity, confirm trends, and identify potential reversals.
How It Helps a Trader:
Spotting Institutional Activity: The core purpose of the Volume Flags (using either the Multiplier or Standard Deviation method) is to highlight bars with exceptionally high volume. These spikes often signal the entry or exit of large institutional players. A high-volume up-bar can confirm bullish conviction, while a high-volume down-bar can signal significant selling pressure.
Identifying Climactic Events: The HVE (Highest Volume Ever) and HV1 (Highest Volume - 1 Year) labels automatically pinpoint the most significant volume events on the chart. A "blow-off top" at the end of a long uptrend or a "capitulation" event at a market bottom is almost always accompanied by an HVE or HV1 bar. These are critical moments to watch for potential trend reversals.
Gauging Buying vs. Selling Pressure: The Up/Down Volume Ratio gives you a more nuanced view than volume alone. A ratio consistently above 1.2 suggests that buyers are more aggressive, while a ratio below 0.8 suggests sellers are in control. Watching this ratio can help you confirm the strength of a trend or spot divergences where price is rising but the ratio is falling (a potential warning sign).
Visual Confirmation & Customization: With options to color both the volume bars and the main price bars, you can get instant visual confirmation of these events without having to look away from the price action. The ability to toggle features on and off keeps your chart clean and focused on what matters most to you.
Actionable Alerts: The comprehensive alert system ensures you don't miss a key event. You can be notified of everything from a new all-time high volume bar to a subtle shift in the Up/Down Volume Ratio, allowing you to react to market changes in real-time.
2. User-Changeable Options
This indicator is highly customizable. Here is a breakdown of every setting available in the "Inputs" tab.
General Settings
MA Length: The lookback period for the simple moving average (the gray area plot) of the volume.
Volume Flags
Color Price Bars with Flags: If checked, the main price bars on your chart will be colored when a high or low volume flag condition is met.
Color Volume Bars with Flags: If checked, the volume bars in the indicator pane will be colored for flag conditions.
Flag Calculation Method: This is a crucial setting.
Multiplier (Default): Identifies high volume based on a simple multiple of the average volume (e.g., volume is 1.4x its average). It's simple and intuitive.
Standard Deviation: Identifies high volume based on how statistically unusual it is compared to its recent behavior. This method is more adaptive to changing market volatility.
Daily/Weekly Lookback (Multiplier): Sets the lookback period for calculating the average volume when using the "Multiplier" method.
Daily/Weekly High-Vol Multiplier: Sets the multiplier for a high volume event (e.g., 1.4).
STDEV Length (Daily/Weekly): Sets the lookback period for calculating the average and standard deviation when using the "Standard Deviation" method.
STDEV Threshold (Daily/Weekly): Sets the number of standard deviations above the average required to trigger a high volume flag (e.g., 2.0).
Daily/Weekly Low-Vol Multiplier: Sets the threshold for a low volume event (e.g., 0.5 means volume is less than 50% of its average). This is always based on the multiplier method.
Ratios & Stats
Up/Down Ratio Daily/Weekly Lookback: Sets the lookback period for calculating the sum of up volume and down volume for the ratio.
Ratio Calculation Method:
Close vs. Open: Defines an "up volume" bar as one where the close is higher than the open.
Close vs. Previous Close (Default): Defines an "up volume" bar as one where the close is higher than the previous bar's close. This is a common standard.
Up Ratio Arrow Threshold: If the U/D Ratio exceeds this value, a green "up" arrow will appear.
Show Up Ratio Arrow: Toggles the visibility of the green "up" arrow.
Down Ratio Arrow Threshold: If the U/D Ratio falls below this value, a red "down" arrow will appear.
Show Down Ratio Arrow: Toggles the visibility of the red "down" arrow.

Volume Breakout SignalsScript by Hanssome
The Volume Breakout Signals indicator is a trading tool designed to identify potential entry points by pinpointing high-momentum price breakouts on your main chart. It operates on a simple but powerful principle: a true breakout should be supported by a significant increase in trading volume.
The indicator plots two primary visual elements on your price chart:
Pivot Highs and Lows: These are marked with green and red circles and represent the most recent significant swing points in the price. They act as dynamic support and resistance levels, and the script watches for the price to break past them.
BUY and SELL Labels: These signals appear directly on the chart to indicate a potential trading opportunity.
A signal is only generated when two specific conditions are met simultaneously:
Price Breakout: A BUY signal requires the price to cross decisively above the most recent pivot high. A SELL signal requires the price to cross below the most recent pivot low.
Volume Confirmation: This price breakout must be accompanied by a recent spike in trading volume. This confirmation suggests strong momentum and conviction behind the move, increasing the probability of a successful breakout.
All the parameters, such as the sensitivity of the pivot points and the definition of a volume spike, can be adjusted in the indicator's settings to fit your specific trading style and the asset you are viewing.
Volume VisualizerVolume by Hannsome
The Volume Visualizer is a simple yet effective tool designed to display trading volume in a dedicated panel below the main price chart. Its primary goal is to help you easily identify when trading activity is significantly higher than usual.
The indicator plots two key elements:
Volume Bars: These are standard volume bars showing the amount of trading activity for each period. To draw your attention to important moments, bars with unusually high volume are highlighted in a distinct color (yellow by default).
Average Volume Line: A moving average line (orange by default) is plotted over the volume bars. This line represents the recent average trading volume, giving you a clear baseline to compare the current volume against.
A "significant" volume spike is defined as any period where the volume exceeds the moving average by a certain multiplier. You can adjust both the moving average length and this multiplier in the indicator's settings to fine-tune its sensitivity to what you consider a significant spike in activity.
