Dollar Volume Ownership Gauge
Purpose:
DVOG tracks the real money moving through a ticker by converting share volume into dollar volume (price × volume). It helps identify when institutional-sized players enter, defend, or unload positions — information that plain volume bars often hide.
How it works:
Each bar represents 4-minute aggregated dollar volume.
Green bars = moderate sponsorship ($400 K–$1 M per 4 min).
Red bars = heavy sponsorship ($1 M+ per 4 min).
Black bars = normal retail flow (under $400 K).
Optional horizontal guides mark both thresholds for quick reference.
Alerts:
Green Bar Alert: fires every time a bar exceeds $400 K, signaling fresh institutional activity.
Cross Alerts: trigger once when dollar volume crosses the $400 K or $1 M levels, perfect for automation or notifications.
Why it’s useful:
DVOG visually confirms when a breakout, knife-and-reclaim, or coil is being driven by real capital rather than low-liquidity noise.
It turns abstract volume into a direct measure of who’s actually in control.
Recommended use:
Run it in a separate pane below price. Combine with your normal structure analysis — higher lows, double bottoms, coils, etc. — and act only when structure and sponsorship line up.
