Big Trades / Intrabar Volume Clusters by HK
Description:
This indicator brings professional Order Flow and Footprint capabilities to your chart. It detects and visualizes high-volume trade clusters inside the candle, allowing you to see exactly at which price level big market participants were active.
Unlike standard volume bars, this tool uses Intrabar Data to map significant buying and selling pressure precisely within the candle body.
ℹ️ IMPORTANT: Resolution Setting (Read First) To ensure this indicator works immediately for all users (including Free/Basic accounts), the default resolution is set to "1 Minute".
Basic/Free Users: Please keep the setting at "1" (Second-based intervals often require a paid plan).
Premium Users: For the best precision and the exact look shown in the screenshots, we highly recommend changing the Resolution setting to "5S" (5 Seconds)!
🚀 Key Features
Intrabar Precision: Leverages request.security_lower_tf to look inside the candle structure.
Noise Filtering: Only displays clusters that exceed your defined Minimum Volume threshold, filtering out retail noise.
Smart Coloring:
Green: Buying pressure (Close >= Open on the lower timeframe).
Red: Selling pressure (Close < Open on the lower timeframe).
🆕 Independent Sizing: A unique feature: You can control the Font Size and Circle Size independently.
This allows for small, non-intrusive circles with large, readable text.
⚙️ Settings
Resolution: Default is 1 (Minute). Premium users should switch to 5S for true order flow precision.
Minimum Volume: The most important filter. Determines how large a trade cluster must be to appear (e.g., 150+ for ETH, higher for BTC).
Visuals: Customize Buy/Sell colors, Circle Size, and Text Size separately.
⚠️ Visual Tip (If text is hidden)
If the bubbles or numbers appear behind the candles or disappear when clicking away:
Right-click on any of the indicator bubbles.
Select Visual Order -> Bring to Front.
This ensures the Big Trades data always floats on top of your price bars.
