Positive Volume Index (PVI)

Accumulation FTD Bullsish SwingTradingThis script detects an “ACCVOL 1‑day” price/volume setup using two variants based on two different Simple Moving Averages (SMA), and then prints only two labels on the chart: “AD” and “B” (no visual distinction between the SMA variants). How it works: On each new bar, the script searches for a “key day” located 3 to 13 bars back. A setup is validated when multiple conditions align, including: a minimum current-day percentage gain (default 1.24%), volume strength (volume rising vs. prior day and above a volume SMA, default 50), and a structural price pattern around the key day (bullish key day, specific “higher lows” sequence between the key day and today, and the day after the key day being bearish). The SMA filter differs by case: for each tested key day, the close must be below the selected SMA (Case 1 uses SMA #1 length, default 5; Case 2 uses SMA #2 length, default 10). Each case can be enabled/disabled and its SMA length can be adjusted independently in the settings. When a setup triggers, the script places: - “AD” on the key day (n bars ago), and - “B” on the current bar. Priority is kept “as-is”: the script checks n = 3, then 4, then 5… up to 13, and it will plot only one AD/B pair per current bar (the first match in that 3→13 order), even if multiple matches occur. Important note (signal selection): This indicator can produce many signals, and you should not take them all. In practice, signals tend to be more meaningful when they occur after a drawdown of at least 10%, rather than during extended strength. Risk management (example): As a general risk framework (not financial advice), a common approach is to place a stop loss roughly 6% to 8% below the most recent meaningful swing low. Adjust this to the instrument’s volatility and your position sizing rules. Recommended confirmations (mix with 2 indicators): To improve signal quality, consider combining this script with two confirmation tools: 1. Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) set to CMF Length = 50 and a 50‑period SMA on the CMF. 2. The Volume Pressure Indicator. Signals are often more reliable when: CMF is above its moving average, and The Volume Pressure oscillator is also above its moving average. Market regime warning: There can be many false signals during bear markets, so applying stricter filters and confirmations is strongly recommended. Best use case: This indicator is designed to be particularly effective for swing trading on stocks and various ETFs, where you look for a post-drawdown rebound supported by improving volume/flow conditions.

Anchored PVI + NVIAnchored PVI + NVI is a single-pane indicator that allows the Positive Volume Index (PVI) and Negative Volume Index (NVI) to be plotted together using a period-anchored approach. Crucially, the EMAs for each series are included and remain analytically valid under the anchoring process. PVI and NVI are cumulative, path dependent indicators. Over long histories, their absolute values become arbitrary and often incomparable when plotted side-by-side . This script addresses that limitation by anchoring each indicator to a user-defined period (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) and plotting their relative change from that baseline rather than their raw values. The result is a clean, comparable view that preserves each indicator’s internal structure (trends, inflections, divergences, and EMA relationships) while minimizing scale conflicts. **What Are PVI and NVI? (Quick Explanation)** PVI and NVI separate price behavior based on changes in participation, not raw volume flow. - Positive Volume Index (PVI) updates only on bars where volume increases relative to the prior bar. It tracks price movement during expanding participation, often associated with broad market involvement. - Negative Volume Index (NVI) updates only on bars where volume decreases relative to the prior bar. It tracks price movement during contracting participation, often associated with quieter or more selective activity. Both indicators accumulate percentage price changes, but only under their respective volume conditions. Rather than asking “Is volume high or low?” , they ask: "How does price behave when participation expands versus when it contracts?" More detailed guidance and interpretation can be found further down the publication description for users unfamiliar with the practical uses of PVI and NVI. **How The Script Works** At the start of each selected anchor period, the script records the current PVI and NVI values as baselines. All subsequent values within that period are plotted as changes relative to those baselines: - Percent mode plots the percentage change from the baseline. - Absolute mode plots the absolute change from the baseline. This is not normalization or rescaling. The time-based shape of each series is preserved within the anchor window. The EMAs are calculated on the original, full-history PVI and NVI series, then transformed using the same anchored reference frame. This faithfully preserves relative positioning between each index and its EMA, EMA slope behavior, and EMA crossover timing. Optional anchor markers and a zero line help visualize resets and behavior relative to the period’s starting point. **Advantages vs Using PVI and NVI Separately** - Faster visual assessment: Participation-conditioned price behavior can be evaluated at a glance without mentally reconciling separate scales or panes. - Potential for Extended Interpretation: A shared baseline introduces a form of relative comparability that does not exist when the indicators are plotted independently. - Cleaner workflow: One indicator, one pane, and less chart clutter. **Conventional Interpretation and Guidance** Anchored PVI and NVI should be interpreted relative to the zero line, their own EMAs, and each other, always within the context of the current anchor period - NOT across periods. Values above zero indicate net positive price movement since the anchor began under the indicator’s respective volume condition. Values below zero indicate net negative movement. Because PVI and NVI update under different participation regimes, their behavior provides complementary context rather than redundant confirmation. When PVI is rising, price progress within the period is occurring primarily during higher-participation sessions. This suggests that movement is being supported by expanding activity. Weakness or flattening in PVI indicates that price is losing traction during high-volume conditions. When NVI is rising, price persistence is occurring during quieter sessions as participation contracts. This often reflects continuation or structural stability that does not rely on broad engagement. Weakness in NVI indicates that price struggles to hold together as activity declines. Comparing the two provides insight into participation balance. - Both rising: broad support across participation regimes - PVI rising while NVI lags: movement concentrated in higher-participation sessions - NVI rising while PVI lags: price persistence despite reduced participation Each index is most commonly interpreted relative to its own 255-period EMA. Holding above the EMA suggests strengthening behavior within that participation regime, while sustained movement below the EMA indicates weakening momentum or transition. NVI in particular is often interpreted such that above-EMA behavior is supportive and below-EMA behavior is cautionary. Divergence between price and PVI or NVI can highlight changes in participation dynamics that may not yet be reflected in price alone. Divergence between PVI and NVI themselves highlights shifts in how price behaves under expanding versus contracting participation. These relationships are best used as contextual confirmation rather than as standalone trading signals. **Extended Interpretation (Exploratory)** This section is exploratory and should not be interpreted as conventional or widely-accepted guidance. Anchoring PVI and NVI to a shared baseline introduces a form of relative comparability that does not exist when the indicators are plotted independently. Within a single anchor period, both PVI and NVI are now expressed as relative change from a common reference point. This makes it possible to observe how the two series interact directly in time. Index Crossovers (PVI vs. NVI) Crossovers between anchored PVI and anchored NVI may be interpreted as shifts in dominance between participation regimes within the anchor period. - PVI crossing above NVI suggests that price progress under expanding participation has overtaken progress under contracting participation since the anchor began. - NVI crossing above PVI suggests that price persistence during quieter participation has become the dominant contributor within the period. EMA-to-EMA Structure (PVI EMA vs. NVI EMA) EMA-to-EMA relationships can further highlight smoother, regime-level tendencies in participation balance. When one EMA persistently leads the other after sufficient post-anchor price action has accumulated, it reflects a sustained bias toward that participation regime within the anchor window. Similarly, EMA crossovers that develop after sufficient post-anchor data may imply a transition in participation balance rather than a reset artifact. Important Context and Limitations of Extended Interpretation This form of interpretation is only valid within a single anchor period. Because each anchor resets the baseline, no continuity or meaning should be inferred across different periods. These interactions should be treated as descriptive of participation balance, not as standalone trade signals. Their value lies in clarifying how price movement is being carried within a defined window, not in predicting future direction. **Combined Practical Use** Altogether, this indicator allows participation dynamics to be evaluated at three levels: 1) Instantaneous behavior via the anchored PVI and NVI themselves 2) Structural persistence via each index relative to its own EMA 3) Regime balance via the relative positioning of PVI, NVI, and their EMAs **Warnings!** - Percent mode can become visually unstable when baseline PVI or NVI values are near zero due to division effects inherent in percent-change calculations. **Other Similar Indicators** My Anchored OBV + A/D script applies the same anchored-period framework to other volume-based indicators. **Credits** This script is inspired by Multi-Ticker Anchored Candles (MTAC) by @SamRecio . MTAC's anchored-baseline concept and open-source nature provided an important conceptual foundation for adapting the same idea to PVI and NVI.

Volume essential parameters overlayVolume EPO – Essential Volume Parameters Overlay 1. Motivation and design philosophy Volume EPO is designed as a conceptual overlay rather than a self contained trading system. The main idea behind this script is to take complex, foundational market concepts out of heavy, menu driven strategies and express them as lightweight, independent layers that sit on top of any chart or indicator. In many TradingView scripts, a single strategy tries to handle everything at once: signal logic, risk settings, visual cues, multi timeframe controls, and conceptual explanations. This usually leads to long input menus, performance issues, and difficult maintenance. The architectural approach behind Volume EPO is the opposite: keep the core strategy lean, and move the explanation and measurement of key concepts into dedicated overlays. In this framework, Volume EPO is the base layer for the concept of volume. It does not decide anything about entries or exits. Instead, it exposes and clarifies how different definitions of volume behave candle by candle. Other layers or strategies can then build on top of this understanding. 2. What Volume EPO does Volume EPO focuses on four essential volume parameters for each bar: - Buy volume - Sell volume - Total volume - Delta volume (the difference between buy and sell volume) The script presents these parameters in a compact heads up display (HUD) table that can be positioned anywhere on the chart. It is designed to be visually minimal, language aware, and usable on top of any other indicator or price action without cluttering the view. The indicator does not output signals, alerts, arrows, or strategy entries. It is a descriptive and educational tool that shows how volume is distributed, not a prescriptive tool that tells the trader what to do. 3. Two definitions of volume A central theme of this script is that there is more than one way to define and interpret “volume” inside a single candle. Volume EPO implements and clearly separates two different approaches: - A geometric, candle based approximation that uses only OHLC and volume of the current bar. - An intrabar, data driven definition that uses lower timeframe up and down volume when it is available. The user can switch between these modes via the calculation method input. The mode is prominently shown inside the on chart table so that the context is always explicit. 3.1 Geometry mode (Source File, approximate) In Geometry mode, Volume EPO works only with the current bar’s OHLC values and total volume. No lower timeframe data is required. The candle’s range is defined as high minus low. If the range is positive, the position of the close inside that range is used as a simple model for how volume might have been distributed between buyers and sellers: - The closer the close is to the high, the more of the total volume is attributed to the buying side. - The closer the close is to the low, the more of the total volume is attributed to the selling side. - In a rare case where the bar has no price range (for example a flat or doji bar), total volume is split evenly between buy and sell volume. From this model, the script derives: - Buy volume (approximated) - Sell volume (approximated) - Total volume (as reported by the bar) - Delta volume as the difference between buy and sell volume This approach is intentionally labeled as “Geometry (Approx)” in the HUD. It is a theoretical reconstruction based solely on the candle’s geometry and total volume, and it is always available on any market or timeframe that provides OHLCV data. 3.2 Intrabar mode (Precise) In Intrabar mode, Volume EPO uses the TradingView built in library for up and down volume on a user selected lower timeframe. Instead of inferring volume from the shape of the candle, it reads the underlying lower timeframe data when that data is accessible. The script requests up and down volume from a lower timeframe such as 15 seconds, using the official TA library functions. The results are then interpreted as follows: - Buy volume is taken as the absolute value of the up volume. - Sell volume is taken as the absolute value of the down volume. - Total volume is the sum of buy and sell volume. - Delta volume is provided directly by the library as the difference between up and down volume. If valid lower timeframe data exists for a bar, the bar is counted as covered by Intrabar data. If not, that bar is marked as invalid for this precise calculation and is excluded from the covered count. This mode is labeled “Precise” in the HUD, together with the selected lower timeframe, because it is anchored in actual intrabar data rather than in a geometric model. It provides a closer view of how buying and selling pressure unfolded inside the bar, at the cost of requiring more data and being dependent on the availability of that data. 4. Coverage, lookback, and what the numbers mean The top part of the HUD reports not only which volume definition is active, but also an additional line that describes the effective coverage of the data. In Intrabar (Precise) mode, the script displays: - “Scanned: N Bars” Here, N counts how many bars since the indicator was loaded have successfully received valid lower timeframe delta data. It is a measure of how much of the visible history has been truly covered by intrabar information, not a lookback window in the sense of a rolling calculation. In Geometry mode, the script displays: - “Lookback: L Bars” In this extracted layer, the lookback value L is purely descriptive. It does not change how the current bar’s volume is computed, and it is not used in any iterative or statistical calculation inside this script. It is meant as a conceptual label, for example to keep the volume layer consistent with a broader framework where lookback length is a structural parameter. Summarizing these two fields: - Scanned tells you how many bars have been processed using real intrabar data. - Lookback is a descriptive parameter in Geometry mode in this specific overlay, not a direct driver of the computations. 5. The HUD layout on the chart The on chart table is intentionally compact and structured to be read quickly: - Header: a title identifying the overlay as Volume EPO. - Mode line: explicitly states whether the script is in Precise or Geometry mode, and for Precise mode also shows the lower timeframe used. - Coverage line: - In Precise mode, it shows “Scanned: N Bars”. - In Geometry mode, it shows “Lookback: L Bars”. - Volume block: - A line for buy and sell volume, marked with clear directional symbols. - A line for total volume and the absolute delta, accompanied by the sign of the delta. - Numeric formatting uses human friendly suffixes (for example K, M, B) to keep the display readable. - Footer: the current symbol and a time stamp, adjusted by a user selectable timezone offset so that the HUD can be aligned with the trader’s local time reference. The table can be positioned anywhere on the chart and resized via inputs, and it supports multiple color themes and languages in order to integrate cleanly into different chart layouts. 6. How to use Volume EPO in practice Volume EPO is meant to be read together with price action and other tools, not in isolation. Typical uses include: - Studying how often a strong directional candle is actually supported by dominant buy or sell volume. - Comparing the behavior of delta volume between Geometry and Intrabar definitions. - Building a personal intuition for how intrabar data refines or contradicts the simple candle based approximation. - Feeding these insights into separate, lean strategy scripts that do not need to carry the full explanatory logic of volume inside them. Because it is an overlay layer, Volume EPO can be stacked with other custom indicators without adding new signals or complexity to their logic. It simply adds a clear and consistent view of volume behavior on top of whatever the trader is already watching. 7. Educational and non signalling nature Finally, it is important to stress that Volume EPO is not a trading system, not a signal generator, and not financial advice. The script does not tell the user when to enter or exit. It only reports how different definitions of volume describe the current bar. Deciding whether to trade, how to trade, and which risk parameters to use remains entirely with the user and with their own strategy. Volume EPO provides context and clarity around the concept of volume so that those decisions can be informed by a better understanding of how buying and selling pressure is structured inside each candle. Note: Even on lower timeframes, every reconstruction of volume remains an approximation, except at the true single tick level. However, the closer the chosen lower timeframe is to a one tick stream, the more accurately it can reflect the underlying order flow and balance between buying and selling pressure.

Advanced Volume Profile Pro Delta + POC + VAH/VAL# Advanced Volume Profile Pro - Delta + POC + VAH/VAL Analysis System ## WHAT THIS SCRIPT DOES This script creates a comprehensive volume profile analysis system that combines traditional volume-at-price distribution with delta volume calculations, Point of Control (POC) identification, and Value Area (VAH/VAL) analysis. Unlike standard volume indicators that show only total volume over time, this script analyzes volume distribution across price levels and estimates buying vs selling pressure using multiple calculation methods to provide deeper market structure insights. ## WHY THIS COMBINATION IS ORIGINAL AND USEFUL **The Problem Solved:** Traditional volume indicators show when volume occurs but not where price finds acceptance or rejection. Standalone volume profiles lack directional bias information, while basic delta calculations don't provide structural context. Traders need to understand both volume distribution AND directional sentiment at key price levels. **The Solution:** This script implements an integrated approach that: - Maps volume distribution across price levels using configurable row density - Estimates delta (buying vs selling pressure) using three different methodologies - Identifies Point of Control (highest volume price level) for key support/resistance - Calculates Value Area boundaries where 70% of volume traded - Provides real-time alerts for key level interactions and volume imbalances **Unique Features:** 1. **Developing POC Visualization**: Real-time tracking of Point of Control migration throughout the session via blue dotted trail, revealing institutional accumulation/distribution patterns before they complete 2. **Multi-Method Delta Calculation**: Price Action-based, Bid/Ask estimation, and Cumulative methods for different market conditions 3. **Adaptive Timeframe System**: Auto-adjusts calculation parameters based on chart timeframe for optimal performance 4. **Flexible Profile Types**: N Bars Back (precise control), Days Back (calendar-based), and Session-based analysis modes 5. **Advanced Imbalance Detection**: Identifies and highlights significant buying/selling imbalances with configurable thresholds 6. **Comprehensive Alert System**: Monitors POC touches, Value Area entry/exit, and major volume imbalances ## HOW THE SCRIPT WORKS TECHNICALLY ### Core Volume Profile Methodology: **1. Price Level Distribution:** - Divides price range into user-defined rows (10-50 configurable) - Calculates row height: `(Highest Price - Lowest Price) / Number of Rows` - Distributes each bar's volume across price levels it touched proportionally **2. Delta Volume Calculation Methods:** **Price Action Method:** ``` Price Range = High - Low Buy Pressure = (Close - Low) / Price Range Sell Pressure = (High - Close) / Price Range Buy Volume = Total Volume × Buy Pressure Sell Volume = Total Volume × Sell Pressure Delta = Buy Volume - Sell Volume ``` **Bid/Ask Estimation Method:** ``` Average Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3 Buy Volume = Close > Average ? Volume × 0.6 : Volume × 0.4 Sell Volume = Total Volume - Buy Volume ``` **Cumulative Method:** ``` Buy Volume = Close > Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3 Sell Volume = Close ≤ Open ? Volume : Volume × 0.3 ``` **3. Point of Control (POC) Identification:** - Scans all price levels to find maximum volume concentration - POC represents the price level with highest trading activity - Acts as significant support/resistance level - **Developing POC Feature**: Tracks POC evolution in real-time via blue dotted trail, showing how institutional interest migrates throughout the session. Upward POC migration indicates accumulation patterns, downward migration suggests distribution, providing early trend signals before price confirmation. **4. Value Area Calculation:** - Starts from POC and expands up/down to encompass 70% of total volume - VAH (Value Area High): Upper boundary of value area - VAL (Value Area Low): Lower boundary of value area - Expansion algorithm prioritizes direction with higher volume **5. Adaptive Range Selection:** Based on profile type and timeframe optimization: - **N Bars Back**: Fixed lookback period with performance optimization (20-500 bars) - **Days Back**: Calendar-based analysis with automatic timeframe adjustment (1-365 days) - **Session**: Current trading session or custom session times ### Performance Optimization Features: - **Sampling Algorithm**: Reduces calculation load on large datasets while maintaining accuracy - **Memory Management**: Clears previous drawings to prevent performance degradation - **Safety Constraints**: Prevents excessive memory usage with configurable limits ## HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT ### Initial Setup: 1. **Profile Configuration**: Select profile type based on trading style: - N Bars Back: Precise control over data range - Days Back: Intuitive calendar-based analysis - Session: Real-time session development 2. **Row Density**: Set number of rows (30 default) - more rows = higher resolution, slower performance 3. **Delta Method**: Choose calculation method based on market type: - Price Action: Best for trending markets - Bid/Ask Estimate: Good for ranging markets - Cumulative: Smoothed approach for volatile markets 4. **Visual Settings**: Configure colors, position (left/right), and display options ### Reading the Profile: **Volume Bars:** - **Length**: Represents relative volume at that price level - **Color**: Green = net buying pressure, Red = net selling pressure - **Intensity**: Darker colors indicate volume imbalances above threshold **Key Levels:** - **POC (Blue Line)**: Highest volume price - major support/resistance - **VAH (Purple Dashed)**: Value Area High - upper boundary of fair value - **VAL (Orange Dashed)**: Value Area Low - lower boundary of fair value - **Value Area Fill**: Shaded region showing main trading range **Developing POC Trail:** - **Blue Dotted Lines**: Show real-time POC evolution throughout the session - **Migration Patterns**: Upward trail indicates bullish accumulation, downward trail suggests bearish distribution - **Early Signals**: POC movement often precedes price movement, providing advance warning of institutional activity - **Institutional Footprints**: Reveals where smart money concentrated volume before final POC establishment ### Trading Applications: **Support/Resistance Analysis:** - POC acts as magnetic price level - expect reactions - VAH/VAL provide intermediate support/resistance levels - Profile edges show areas of low volume acceptance **Developing POC Analysis:** - **Upward Migration**: POC moving higher = institutional accumulation, bullish bias - **Downward Migration**: POC moving lower = institutional distribution, bearish bias - **Stable POC**: Tight clustering = balanced market, range-bound conditions - **Early Trend Detection**: POC direction change often precedes price breakouts **Entry Strategies:** - Buy at VAL with POC as target (in uptrends) - Sell at VAH with POC as target (in downtrends) - Breakout plays above/below profile extremes **Volume Imbalance Trading:** - Strong buying imbalance (>60% threshold) suggests continued upward pressure - Strong selling imbalance suggests continued downward pressure - Imbalances near key levels provide high-probability setups **Multi-Timeframe Context:** - Use higher timeframe profiles for major levels - Lower timeframe profiles for precise entries - Session profiles for intraday trading structure ## SCRIPT SETTINGS EXPLANATION ### Volume Profile Settings: - **Profile Type**: Determines data range for calculation -

Volume Pressure Gauge + Volume %Volume Pressure Gauge and Volume Percentage Indicator – Pine Script Guide This indicator provides a simplified, real-time visualization of both volume pressure (buy vs. sell activity) and today’s trading volume in comparison to historical averages. It is designed to help traders assess whether buyers or sellers dominate the current session and whether today’s volume is significant relative to recent behaviour. ________________________________________ Key Functional Segments 1. Inputs and Configuration Users can configure the length of the Simple Moving Average (SMA) used to calculate average volume, set the position of the gauge table on the chart, and toggle the visibility of the volume pressure display. This allows flexibility in integrating the tool with various trading styles and chart layouts. 2. Volume Data Calculations The indicator calculates three key volume metrics: • volToday: The current day’s volume. • volAvg: The average volume over the user-defined SMA period (default is 20 bars). • volPct: The current volume as a percentage of the average. This enables traders to quickly recognize whether current trading activity is above or below normal, which can be a precursor to potential trend strength or weakness. 3. Volume Pressure Calculation The script estimates buying and selling pressure based on price movement and volume. It distributes volume into upward (buy) and downward (sell) segments and expresses them as percentages of the total volume. This gives an immediate sense of whether bulls or bears are more active in the current session. 4. Visual Representation (Progress Bars) The indicator renders a simplified visual gauge using horizontal bar segments (pseudo-bars) to reflect the proportion of buy and sell pressure. The length of each bar correlates with the strength of pressure from buyers or sellers, helping users assess dominance without analyzing candlestick behavior in depth. 5. Table Display A compact table is drawn on the chart showing: • Buy pressure percentage and corresponding bar. • Sell pressure percentage and corresponding bar. • Volume percentage compared to the recent average. This format makes it easy to evaluate volume dynamics at a glance, without cluttering the price chart or relying on separate overlays. ________________________________________ How Traders Benefit from This Indicator • Momentum Shift Detection: Early signs of trend reversal can be observed when volume pressure flips direction. • Breakout Validation: High volume combined with dominant pressure supports the credibility of breakout moves. • False Move Avoidance: If price moves on low volume or mixed pressure, traders can avoid low-probability entries. • Market Context Awareness: Users can assess whether a day is behaving normally in terms of participation or is unusually quiet or aggressive. ________________________________________ Basic Usage Guide 1. Add the script to your TradingView chart and set your preferred SMA length for volume comparison. 2. Customize the table’s position using the X and Y settings for clarity and alignment. 3. Interpret the outputs: o A higher red bar indicates dominant sell pressure. o A higher green bar indicates dominant buy pressure. o Volume % above 100% suggests above-average activity, while values below 100% may imply low conviction. 4. Apply to trading decisions: o High buy pressure and high volume may indicate a strong long opportunity. o High sell pressure and high volume may support short setups. o Low volume or conflicting signals may call for caution. 5. Combine with other tools such as trend indicators, support/resistance zones, or price action patterns for more reliable trade setups. ________________________________________ Practical Example • Sell Pressure: 70% → Suggests strong seller control; potential for short setups. • Buy Pressure: 30% → Weak buying interest; long trades may carry risk. • Volume Percentage: 120% → Indicates a surge in participation; movement may have greater validity. ________________________________________ Tips for New Traders • Use this indicator as a confirmation tool rather than a standalone strategy. • Begin on higher timeframes (4-hour or daily) to develop familiarity. • Compare multiple examples to identify reliable patterns over time. • Always incorporate proper risk management, including stop losses. ________________________________________ Disclaimer from aiTrendview This indicator is intended solely for educational and informational use. It does not constitute investment advice, trade signals, or financial recommendations. aiTrendview and its affiliates are not liable for any trading losses incurred through use of this tool.

Volume & Price Counter**User Guide for Volume & Price Counter (Candle Structure)** ### 1. Introduction to Volume & Price Counter The **Volume & Price Counter** (Candle Structure) is a momentum analysis indicator that helps identify which side—buyers or sellers—is dominating the market by counting candles based on the combination of volume and price movement. The indicator classifies candles into 4 groups: - **Volume Up, Price Up (Vol ↑ & Price ↑)** – Indicates strong buying pressure. - **Volume Down, Price Up (Vol ↓ & Price ↑)** – Price is rising but buying momentum is weakening. - **Volume Up, Price Down (Vol ↑ & Price ↓)** – Indicates strong selling pressure. - **Volume Down, Price Down (Vol ↓ & Price ↓)** – Price is falling but selling momentum is weakening. --- ### 2. How the Indicator Works The Volume & Price Counter calculates the number of each candle type over a specific time period to determine which side is currently in control: - **Green Background**: When the total of (Vol ↑ & Price ↑) + (Vol ↓ & Price ↑) is greater than the total of (Vol ↑ & Price ↓) + (Vol ↓ & Price ↓) → Buyers are in control. - **Red Background**: When the total of (Vol ↑ & Price ↓) + (Vol ↓ & Price ↓) is greater than the total of (Vol ↑ & Price ↑) + (Vol ↓ & Price ↑) → Sellers are in control. --- ### 3. How to Use the Indicator in Trading **a) When the background is green**: - The market is in an uptrend; consider buying during pullbacks to support zones. - If the green background continues and the number of (Vol ↑ & Price ↑) candles dominates, the price may continue to rise. - If the green background is present but there are many (Vol ↓ & Price ↑) candles, be cautious as buying strength may be fading. **b) When the background is red**: - The downtrend is prevailing; it's better to stay out or look for selling opportunities during pullbacks. - If the red background continues with a high number of (Vol ↑ & Price ↓) candles, the price may continue to fall. - If there are many (Vol ↓ & Price ↓) candles during a red background, selling pressure may be weakening—watch for reversal signals. **c) When the background shifts from red to green**: - This is a positive signal, indicating buyers are returning to the market. - Additional volume confirmation is needed to validate a true uptrend. **d) When the background shifts from green to red**: - This warns of a potential trend reversal to the downside. - If volume spikes during the red shift, consider closing long positions. --- ### 4. Combining Volume & Price Counter with Other Indicators **Combine with support/resistance levels**: If a green background appears at a strong support zone, it may signal a potential buying opportunity.

PVSRA Volume Suite with Volume DeltaPVSRA Volume Suite with Volume Delta 🔹 Overview This indicator is a Volume Suite that enhances PVSRA (Price, Volume, Support, Resistance Analysis) by incorporating Volume Delta and AI-driven predictive alerts. It is designed to help traders analyze volume pressure, market trends, and price movements with color-coded visualizations. 📌 Key Features PVSRA Volume Color Coding – Highlights vector candles based on extreme volume/spread conditions. Volume Delta Analysis – Tracks buying/selling pressure using up/down volume data. AI-Powered Predictive Alerts – Identifies potential trend shifts based on volume and trend context. Volatility-Adjusted Thresholds – Dynamically adapts volume conditions based on ATR (Average True Range). Customizable MA & Symbol Overrides – Allows traders to tweak settings for personalized market insights. Debug & Diagnostic Labels – Shows statistical z-scores, thresholds, and volume dynamics. How It Works PVSRA Color Coding – The script classifies candles into four categories based on volume and spread analysis: 🔴 Red Vector → Extreme bearish volume/spread 🟢 Green Vector → Extreme bullish volume/spread 🟣 Violet Vector → Above-average bearish volume 🔵 Blue Vector → Above-average bullish volume Volume Delta Calculation – Uses lower timeframe volume analysis to estimate up/down volume differentials. Trend & Predictive Alerts – Combines EMA crossovers with statistical volume analysis to detect potential trend shifts. Volatility Adaptation – Adjusts volume thresholds based on ATR, making signals more reliable in changing market conditions. Custom Symbol Override – Fetches PVSRA data from a different instrument, useful for index-based volume analysis. Customizable Inputs PVSRA Color Settings – Modify candle color schemes for better visual clarity. Volume Delta Colors – Customize delta volume body, wick, and border colors. AI Settings – Tune z-score thresholds, lookback periods, and enable predictive alerts. Symbol Overrides – Analyze volume from a different market or asset. Moving Average (MA) Settings – Display a volume-based moving average for trend confirmation. Important Notes Works best on intraday timeframes where volume data is reliable. Lower timeframe volume delta estimates might not be precise for all assets. No guarantees of accuracy – Use alongside other confluence tools for decision-making. Credits & Open-Source Notice This script is based on PVSRA methodologies and integrates Volume Delta analysis. Special thanks to Traders Reality and TradingView for their contributions to volume-based analysis.

Daily Buy/Sell Volumeindicator that The Daily Buy/Sell Volume Indicator is a custom-built tool that helps traders track and visualize the buying and selling volumes throughout a trading day. This indicator separates the total volume into two categories: 1. Buy Volume: Calculated when the closing price is higher than the opening price for a given candle. This represents the volume of bullish (buy) activity for the day. 2. Sell Volume: Calculated when the closing price is lower than the opening price for a given candle. This represents the volume of bearish (sell) activity for the day. Key Features: • Buy/Sell Volume Calculation: The indicator tracks the buying and selling volumes based on the relationship between the open and close prices of each candle. • Daily Reset: The indicator resets at the start of each trading day, providing fresh calculations for the daily buy and sell volumes. • Visual Representation: The buy volume is shown with a green line, while the sell volume is displayed with a red line, making it easy to identify bullish and bearish activity over the course of the day.

Ice Cream Volume Profile [Visible range]While exploring the new Pine Script feature, Polylines, I've created a fun project called the Ice Cream Volume Profile for the visible range. This fun project serves several purposes: It displays the level at which the most trades (volume) occur. It provides Delta volume information. It counts how many times a bar closed within this level. It assists in drawing support and resistance zones. It aids in interpreting volume data. The top part of the ice cream cone changes color as follows: Green: When the bullish volume exceeds 55% of the total volume. Red: When the bearish volume surpasses 55% of the total volume. Yellow: When neither Green nor Red exceeds 55% of the total volume. Polylines are an excellent feature that enables us to create even more intriguing visuals in Pine Script.

Real Cummulative Delta (New TV Function)Thanks to the new TradingView indicator Up/Down Volume, it is now possible to get accurate information on Agression (market buying vs market selling) However, as they only provide the value of delta, I've made this indicator to show the cummulative value, in the form of candles. It is great to detect divergences in the macro and in the micro scale (As in divergences in each candle and divergences in higher or lower tops or bottoms) Hope you can make good use of it!
