Daily RVOL (Raw) SMA/EMA + Surge Marker - TP ## Daily RVOL (Raw) SMA/EMA + Surge Marker (TP) This indicator helps you spot **unusual institutional-style participation** by measuring **Daily Relative Volume (RVOL)** and highlighting **sudden RVOL “surges”** compared to the prior day. ### What it shows **RVOL (raw)** is a ratio: **RVOL = Today’s Daily Volume ÷ Average Daily Volume (lookback)** * **1.00x** = normal volume * **1.50x** = ~50% above normal * **2.00x** = ~2x normal The “Average Daily Volume” baseline can be calculated using either: * **SMA** (simple average), or * **EMA** (faster-reacting average) The baseline uses **completed daily bars only**, so it won’t be distorted by a partially completed day. ### Surge Marker (Circle) The circle prints when **today’s RVOL jumps significantly vs yesterday’s RVOL**: **RVOL Surge % = (RVOL Today ÷ RVOL Prev − 1) × 100** So if your surge threshold is **80%**, the circle triggers when: **RVOL Today ≥ 1.80 × RVOL Prev** This is meant to detect **volume acceleration**—not just “high volume,” but a **step-change** in participation. ### How to use it (in plain English) Think of RVOL as a **crowd-size meter**, and the surge circle as a **“big money showed up today”** alert. It does **not** directly label buy vs sell—it highlights **participation**. Direction comes from price action and context. ### Bullish vs Bearish clues (price + volume together) Use the circle as a clue, then read the candle and key levels: **Potential bullish signs** * Breakout/reclaim of resistance + surge circle (strong confirmation) * Strong up day (wide range, closes near highs) + surge circle * **High volume down-close that *does NOT* break lower lows** (holds support) → Often means selling pressure was absorbed and price held the line. This can be a **bullish “support/absorption” tell**, especially if the next day confirms with strength. **Potential bearish signs** * Breakdown below support + surge circle (distribution confirmation) * Rejection at resistance on surge circle (supply showing up) * **High volume up-close that *fails to make higher highs* / can’t push through resistance** → Often suggests buying effort was met by strong supply (selling into strength). This can be a **bearish “stall/failure” tell**, especially if the next day confirms with weakness. ### Suggested settings * **RVOL Length:** 20 is a solid default * **SMA vs EMA:** * SMA = smoother baseline * EMA = reacts faster to recent volume changes * **Surge Threshold:** * **80–150%** = rare “shock” participation (fewer, stronger signals) * **40–80%** = balanced signals * **10–40%** = more signals, more noise ### Best practice Use RVOL + surge circles as **confirmation**, not a standalone entry/exit: * Combine with trend, support/resistance, and candle structure. * The surge circle says **“participation surged”**—price action tells you **whether it’s accumulation (support) or distribution (supply).** *(Educational use only. Not financial advice.)*

Defended Price Levels (DPLs) — Melvin Dickover Concept This indicator identifies and draws horizontal “Defended Price Levels” (DPLs) exactly as originally described by Melvin E. Dickover in his trading methodology. Dickover observed that when extreme relative volume and extreme “freedom of movement” (volume-to-price-movement ratio) occur on the same bar, especially on bars with large gaps or unusually large bodies, the closing price (or previous close) of that bar very often becomes a significant future support/resistance level that the market later “defends.” This script automates the detection of those exact coincident spikes using two well-known public indicators: Relative Volume (RVI) • Original idea: Melvin Dickover • Pine Script implementation used here: “Relative Volume Indicator (Freedom Of Movement)” by LazyBear Link: Freedom of Movement (FoM) • Original idea and calculation: starbolt64 • Pine Script: “Freedom of Movement” by starbolt64 Link: How this indicator works Calculates the raw (possibly negative) LazyBear RVI and starbolt64’s exact FoM values Normalizes and standardizes both over the user-defined lookback Triggers only when both RVI and FoM exceed the chosen number of standard deviations on the same bar (true Dickover coincident-spike condition) Applies Dickover’s original price-selection rules (uses current close on big gaps or 2× body expansion candles, otherwise previous close) Draws a thin maroon horizontal ray only when the new level is sufficiently far from all previously drawn levels (default ≥0.8 %) and the maximum number of levels has not been reached Keeps the chart clean by limiting the total number of significant defended levels shown This is not a republish or minor variation of the two source scripts — it is a faithful automation of Melvin Dickover’s specific “defended price line” concept that he manually marked using the coincidence of these two indicators. Full credit goes to: Melvin E. Dickover — creator of the Defended Price Levels concept LazyBear — author of the Relative Volume (RVI) implementation used here starbolt64 — author of the Freedom of Movement indicator and calculation Settings (all adjustable): Standard Deviation Length (default 60) Spike Threshold in standard deviations (default 2.0) Minimum distance between levels in % (default 0.8 %) Maximum significant levels to display (15–80) Use these horizontal maroon lines as potential future support/resistance zones that the market has previously shown strong willingness to defend. Thank you to Melvin, LazyBear, and starbolt64 for the original work that made this automation possible.

Multi-TF Volume & Price Analysis[BullByte]This indicator offers a comprehensive view of market dynamics by combining volume and price analysis across multiple timeframes. It calculates key metrics—such as bullish/bearish volume percentages, relative volume (RVol), cumulative volume delta (CVD), and price change percentages—for each timeframe that you choose (for example, 1, 3, 5, and 15 minutes). Here are the main features in simple terms: - Multi-Timeframe Analysis: The tool analyzes volume and price action from four different timeframes simultaneously. This means you get insights from short-term and slightly longer-term trends in one view. - Volume Breakdown: It splits the volume into bullish and bearish parts by comparing closing and opening prices. This helps you see how much of the trading volume is driving the market upward versus downward. - Relative Volume & Spike Detection: It calculates relative volume (current volume compared to a moving average) and flags any significant volume spikes based on a customizable multiplier. This feature helps identify unusual trading activity. - Volume Smoothing Option: For a cleaner signal, you can enable a smoothing option (using an exponential moving average) to reduce noise in the volume data. - Advanced Summary: The indicator combines volume data, price changes, and volume spikes to produce an overall market summary for each timeframe—labeling conditions as “Bullish Strong,” “Bullish Moderate,” “Bearish Strong,” “Bearish Moderate,” or “Neutral.” - Cumulative Overview: In addition to individual timeframe analysis, it aggregates the data to offer a cumulative view. This includes a collective bullish/bearish percentage, overall CVD, and even a simplified volume level (Low, Normal, or High). - Customizable Dashboard: All these metrics are neatly displayed in a dashboard on the chart. You can customize its position and text size. The dashboard uses dynamic, color-coded cells to instantly convey the market sentiment—making it easy to spot trends at a glance. - VWAP Integration: Finally, the dashboard includes VWAP information, providing an additional layer of context to the price action. Overall, this indicator is designed to provide a quick yet thorough snapshot of market conditions, enabling traders to make more informed decisions with a clear visual representation of volume and price activity across different timeframes.

Volume Breakout [Afnan]Introducing the Relative Volume / Volume Breakout Multiplier (RVI) , RVI is specifically designed for traders who incorporate volume breakout analysis into their trading strategies, particularly breakout traders. This indicator provides a unique perspective on volume dynamics by quantifying the extent of volume breakouts in relation to the Simple Moving Average (SMA). It offers an upgraded version of the default volume indicator on TradingView, with the added feature of Relative Volume. For example, if the volume SMA is 100M and the current volume is 200M, the indicator will return a breakout number of 2.0, indicating that the current volume is twice that of the volume SMA. Conversely, if the volume SMA is 100M and the current volume is 50M, the indicator will return a value of 0.50, indicating that the current volume is half of the volume SMA. This tool can be a very helpful for breakout traders, helping them identify potential trading opportunities and assess volume strength more effectively. this indicator is a must-have in the toolkit of any trader who focuses on volume breakout analysis. Remember, every tool we use, every analysis we perform, is a step towards becoming better traders. So, let’s embrace this journey of continuous learning and improvement together. As the saying goes, “The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today." Let’s step into the future with confidence, armed with the right tools and the right mindset.
