The Bid/Ask Volume Cross is a volume-based indicator that separates and visualizes buying and selling volume pressure through dual-line visualization:
Green Line (Ask Volume): -Tracks volume when price closes above the open -Represents buying pressure/demand -Stronger when closes are bullish with high volume
Red Line (Bid Volume): -Tracks volume when price closes at or below the open -Represents selling pressure/supply -Stronger when closes are bearish with high volume
Volume Intensity: -Lines become more opaque when volume increases relative to: -20-period moving average -Previous bar's volume -Opaque colors = stronger volume -Translucent colors = weaker volume
Divergence Trading: -Bullish Divergence: -Price makes lower lows while Ask Volume makes higher lows -Suggests potential reversal from downtrend -Look for dark green intensity confirming buying pressure
Bearish Divergence: -Price makes higher highs while Bid Volume makes lower highs -Suggests potential reversal from uptrend -Look for dark red intensity confirming selling pressure
Settings: -Volume Sum Lookback (default 5): Bars to sum volume over -Color Intensity (default 0.4): Controls color opacity sensitivity
