Cumulative Volume Difference Map

Jul 2

The "Cumulative Volume Difference Map" is designed to help traders and market analysts understand volume trends over various timeframes. This script analyzes the difference between cumulative positive and negative volume to provide a trend outlook based on volume changes compared to previous bars, by calculating the cumulative positive and negative volume, then deriving a ratio that represents the difference between these volumes. By examining this ratio over different timeframes, the indicator helps identify whether the market sentiment is trending positively or negatively.
