Delta Volume-ATR Change

Updated
Delta Volume-ATR Change Indicator

The Delta Volume-ATR Change Indicator is designed to analyze the effectiveness of volume in relation to price volatility by comparing the percentage change in volume with the percentage change in ATR over the last two bars. This indicator provides insights into how volume changes impact price movement, allowing traders to gauge the strength or weakness of market momentum based on volume efficiency.

Formula:

% Volume Change = (Volume[2] - Volume[1]) / Volume[1] * 100
% ATR Change = (ATR[1] - ATR[2]) / ATR[2] * 100
Delta = % Volume Change - % ATR Change
The result, Delta, shows the difference between the volume change and ATR change, with positive delta indicating a stronger volume impact and negative delta suggesting weaker volume support relative to price movement.

Features:

Multiple Display Styles: Choose from three visualization styles — Histogram, Line, or Columns — to display delta values in a way that best fits your analysis style.
Delta Smoothing: The smoothed Delta line (using an SMA with customizable length) provides a clearer trend of volume efficiency over time.
Color Coding: Delta bars change color based on direction — green for positive values and red for negative, allowing for quick visual assessment of volume effectiveness.
Applications:

Identify market conditions where high volume is driving price effectively (positive Delta).
Detect instances of low volume efficiency, where price changes may not be fully supported by volume (negative Delta).
Useful for short-term and swing traders looking to understand volume patterns in relation to volatility.
This indicator is a valuable tool for traders seeking to gain insights into volume and volatility interplay, helping improve timing and reliability in market entries and exits.
Release Notes
Delta Volume-ATR (Body Only) Change Indicator

This indicator calculates the delta between percentage changes in volume and a modified ATR that only considers the body of the candle (difference between open and close prices). By comparing these changes, the indicator provides insights into how efficiently volume impacts price movement.

Key Features:
Delta Calculation: The delta is derived from the difference between the percentage change in volume and the percentage change in the candle body (modified ATR). This delta helps to analyze market activity and volume effectiveness.
Customizable Display: Choose from three visualization styles: histogram, line, or columns to best suit your analysis.
Control Over Bar Colors: You can independently toggle the display of green (positive delta) and red (negative delta) bars, allowing for a customized view that highlights specific market dynamics.
Use this indicator to monitor the strength and efficiency of volume relative to price movement, helping to identify market inefficiencies and potential reversals based on volume behavior.
