Singular and Cumulative Volume Delta (SVD+CVD)This a Volume Delta indicator with Cumulative Volume Delta.
I have been studying Volume Delta and CVD trading strategies and indicator styles.
This implementation was developed to test a basic trailing window / oscillator approach.
Script has been republished as public and searchable.
Changelog from private era follows.
Jun 9 (2022)
Release Notes:
Added option to use EMA/SMA based cumulation. This will not scale well with singular data, so default view is still SUM.
Jun 9 (2022)
Release Notes:
Outdated comment correction.
Jun 9 (2022)
Release Notes:
Added default option to normalilze visual scale of MA cumulation types. The averaging creates a singular value sized results, instead of a range-sums. This multiples that candle result by the range length to get a range-sum sized result.
Added option to scale the cumulation size relative to the volume size. 1-to-1 scaling creates singular deltas that can be hard to see with all options on. This allows you to beef them up for visual or weighting purposes.
Jun 15 (2022)
Release Notes: * Added break even level for current delta. Tells where current delta must land for cumulative delta to stay flat.
* Added comparison of historical cumulative levels to current level. The historical levels are the initial values going into current accumulation window.
* Changed title of indicator to be more generic, clear, and searchable.
Jun 15 (2022)
Release Notes: * Added option to have the cumulation cutoff line AFTER or OVER the end of the cumulation window. This change is to ensure the indicator clearly documents it's behavior and avoids confusion on this / last cumulation window semantics.
* Bugfix: Initial levels were pulled from cumulation line which was AFTER end of window. This has been changed to the initial values INSIDE the cumulation window.
* Code cleanup.
June 17th (2022)
Release Notes: Marked as beta because TV confirmed they no longer allow private scripts to be changed to public. (Despite lingering documentation that says otherwise.
June 17th (2022)
Re-published as public.

SuperTrend Trapping Candle StrategyHello traders!
How this indicator works?
The main functionality of this indicator is to find entry based upon SuperTrend indicator. This indicator helps us to find trapping candle to enter into the market.
What is a trapping candle?
A trapping candle is a candle that shows strength in opposite direction to SuperTrend. This helps us to enter in a trade before the move start in the current trend's direction. There are two types of trapping candles signals I have added currently:
1. Volume is high than previous candle in the opposite direction.
2. 3 candles of opposite direction with decreasing volume .
How to enter in a trade in uptrend market?
SuperTrend shows a green signal
A green triangle formed below red candle
Enter into the trade when price is above red candle high
SL could be place below red candle or swing low if it is near
How to enter in a trade in downtrend market?
SuperTrend shows a red signal
A red triangle formed above green candle
Enter into the trade when price is below green candle low
SL could be place above green candle high or swing high if it is near
How to avoid to enter in a trade in sideways market?
You can follow price action strategies
Or you can follow some indicator to find sideways market
Indicator settings and how to change?
ATR Length - For SuperTrend, this is default value.
Factor - For SuperTrend, changed to 2 to provide fast signals.
Candle Height - For trapping candle price, default set to 0.003% of the current price.

Delta Volume by SiddWolfDelta Volume is Difference between Buying Volume and Selling Volume. This indicator gives the Delta Volume based on Lower TimeFrame Candles. It utilizes security_lower_tf() function, a function that provides Lower TF candle data in Higher TF Chart.
security_lower_tf() is a new function provided by TradingView yesterday. If you are a PineScript Programmer, I suggest you to read about it, as it is a very powerful function that can extremely improve your trading strategy.
How this indicator works:
This indicator checks volume data on lower TimeFrame Candles and Shows it's delta in the current Chart Timeframe. For example: If you open 4 hours chart, this indicator checks volume of 1 minute chart and separates Buying-Selling volume. Then it subtracts Candle's Selling volume from Candle's Buying volume, finally calculating the Delta Volume.
This indicator also provides a Smooth Delta Volume, which is moving average of Delta Volume. As Delta Volume changes a lot, Smooth Delta Volume can be very helpful for identifying Trends . Goto settings and in "Show" section select "Smooth Delta Volume" to lay it on the chart.
Settings is the Key:
Settings are key to all of my indicators. Play around with it a bit. You can change what to show on the chart from settings. Smooth Delta Volume moving average length can be changed from the settings. You can also select "Show as Percentage", which shows Delta Volume as Percentage of Overall Candle's Volume. If you use Weekly or Monthly Timeframe, change increase lower timeframe from settings. Read the tooltips to understand what each settings mean. Tooltips are the (i) button in-front of each settings.
FAQs:
Q. Does the indicator Repaint ?
--- No. None of my indicators repaints. What you see now is what's drawn in real time.
Q. What TimeFrame is Best for this Indicator ?
--- It can be used on timeframes from 5 minutes to higher. But I would prefer to use it from timeframes higher than 30 minutes, as it gathers data from 1 minute TF.
Q. Indicator doesn't show anything ?
--- This indicator only works on security with Volume data. Also use it from higher timeframe than specified in Settings, because Volume Delta is calculated using Data from Lower TimeFrame.
Q. Delta volume is not provided by TradingView, So how exactly does this indicator work?
--- This indicator takes advantage of new pinescript function security_lower_tf(), and calculates volume for smaller timeframe data and calculates delta on higher timeframe.
Q. Does this indicator give financial advice?
--- No. Nope. Nein. Não. नहीं.
Conclusion:
This indicator is very basic but if used correctly it can be very powerful. If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to comment below. I'd love to connect with you. Thank you.

Liquidity Heatmap LTF [LuxAlgo]This indicator displays column heatmaps highlighting candle bodies with the highest associated volume from a lower user selected timeframe.
Settings
LTF Timeframe: Lower timeframe used to retrieve the closing/opening price and volume data. Must be lower than the current chart timeframe.
Other settings control the style of the displayed graphical elements.
Usage
It can be of interest to show which candles from a lower timeframe had the highest associated volume, this allows for the highlighting of areas where a candle body was the most traded by market participants.
The area with the highest activity is highlighted in the script with a yellow color (or another user selected color) and additionally by two lines forming an interval.
When the candle body with the highest volume is overlapped by a candle body with lower volume this one will be highlighted instead, hence why certain areas of high activity might not be highlighted by the heatmap.
It is recommended to hide regular candles or use a more discrete graphical presentation of prices when using this tool. Lines are also displayed to highlight the full candle range as well as if a candle was bullish (in green) or bearish (in red). These lines can be hidden if the user is only interested in the heatmap.
Volume Impulse & Candlestick Patterns - FontiramisuIndicator showing volume impulse & engulfing candlestick pattern.
You can set up multiple parameter for both events.
Volume Impulse :
Volume Period : Lenght of the average volume calculated.
Volume Multiplier : Factor to compare actual volume with average volume.
Engulfing Pattern :
VS avg body : Let you chose to compare body candle to average body of the last few candles (define with parameter : lenghtSizeAvgBody ), otherwise it will be compared to the last body candle.
Engulfing Multiplier : Factor to compare and validate the pattern.

Volume Spikes & Growing Volume Signals With Alerts & ScannerVOLUME SPIKES & GROWING VOLUME SIGNALS WITH ALERTS & SCANNER
This indicator shows arrows when there is a volume spike. It also paints the background when volume is growing. There is also a volume scanner for 8 tickers that will change color in real time when your other favorite tickers see volume growth and spikes.
You can customize the length of DMI, the number of bars to calculate the current volume average from, the number of bars back to get the overall volume average from, the multiple that needs to be hit to give a signal, the position of the scanner table and which tickers are used in the scanner. There are detailed directions as tooltips in the indicator settings you can read to understand exactly what each input does.
All features are customizable as well as which tickers the screener uses.
***HOW TO USE***
Watch for volume to pick up before placing trades as this will help you stay out of the markets when price is choppy. Volume usually brings volatility so watch for the volume signals to show up on the chart. Typically when price has made a big move one direction or is consolidating and you see the volume indicator start giving signals, the market is ready to reverse or continue its current trend but move faster in that direction.
Volume Spikes
When there is a volume spike that is larger than the average of volume over the last 100+ bars(depending on your settings) multiplied by the volume amount multiplier(in your settings) then an arrow will show up on the chart. This arrow will be green if DMI is bullish and red if DMI is bearish.
Volume Growth
A Background color will appear when the average volume over the last 5 bars(depending on your settings) is higher than the average volume over the last 100+ bars(depending on your settings) and is greater than your multiple. It will also paint the background when the volume moving average has increased over the last 3 bars consecutively. The background colors will be red or green depending on buy & sell pressure(DMI). If the background color appears, then you know volume is growing and volatility is near.
Volume Scanner
The scanner can be customized to have all of your favorite tickers by changing the tickers used in the indicator settings at the bottom. When no volume growth or spikes are detected, the ticker will show as light blue. When volume spikes or growth is detected, the ticker will turn orange to notify you.
Alerts
You can set up alerts as well when there is volume growth, bullish volume spikes and bearish volume spikes on any chart or timeframe.
Indicator Settings
Settings will need to be adjusted across different tickers as some have large swings in volume and some stay pretty even, so make sure to set up different chart layouts with settings that work for each ticker and save them individually so you don’t have to reset these values every time you switch charts.
***MARKETS***
This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex as long as Tradingview has volume and DMI data for that ticker.
***TIMEFRAMES***
This volume spike indicator can be used on all timeframes as long as there is enough data for Tradingview to use for calculations.
***TIPS***
Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Volume Profile, Momentum, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this Volume Growth indicator. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
Hull Volume WavesInspired by the works of David Weis, this indicator is an alternative to his classic Weis Volume Waves.
As the name implies, this indicator uses a Hull Moving Average to detect price swings, and calculates the cumulative volume for each of them, separating the up swings from the down swings.
The chosen length of the HMA determines the size of each swing, meaning lower lengths will detect microswings while higher lengths will only include the main swings.
The length of each swing also determines the color of the upward and downward waves, and you can choose 2 colors each to generate a bullish and bearish gradient.
Extreme values are highlighted in the background. The indicator will compare the current up wave to the last N up volumes, or the current down wave to the last N down volumes. The lookback length can be changed in the menu.
I hope you find it useful!
Candle Colored by Volume Z-score [Morty]This indicator colors the candles according to the z-score of the trading volume. You can easily see the imbalance on the chart. You can use it at any timeframe.
In statistics, the standard score (Z-score) is the number of standard deviations by which the value of a raw score (i.e., an observed value or data point) is above or below the mean value of what is being observed or measured. Raw scores above the mean have positive standard scores, while those below the mean have negative standard scores.
This script uses trading volume as source of z-score by default.
Due to the lack of volume data for some index tickers, you can also choose candle body size as source of z-score.
features:
- custom source of z-score
- volume
- candle body size
- any of above two
- all of above two
- custom threshold of z-score
- custom color chemes
- custom chart type
- alerts
default color schemes:
- green -> excheme bullish imbalance
- blue -> large bullish imbalance
- red -> excheme bearish imbalance
- purple -> large bearish imbalance
- yellow -> low volume bars, indicates "balance", after which volatility usually increases and tends to continue the previous trend
Examples:
* Personally, I use dark theme and changed the candle colors to black/white for down/up.
Volume as Z-score source
Any as Z-score source, more imbalances are showed
[blackcat] L1 Markos Katsanos Volume Flow IndicatorLevel 1
Background
Markos Katsanos’ volume flow indicator (VFI) calculation uses a default period of 130 days for daily charts. As a result, when applying the strategy, you will need to set the maximum number of bars the study will reference in the general tab of properties for all to at least 130. In order to compare the system objectively with the buy & hold results, he specified a trade size as a percent of equity.
Function
For more information see Markos Katsanos's articles in the June 2004 and July 2004 issues of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine. Period=days for VFI calculation. Default values are 130 for daily and 26 for weekly charts.Coef=coefficient for minimal price cut-of (use 0.2 for daily and 0.1 for intraday 5-15 min data) Vcoef=coefficient for volume cut-off (use 2.5 for daily and 3.5 for intraday charts)
Remarks
This is a Level 1 free and open source indicator.
Feedbacks are appreciated.
Bogdan Ciocoiu - MakaveliDescription
This indicator integrates the functionality of multiple volume price analysis algorithms whilst aligning their scales to fit in a single chart.
Having such indicators loaded enables traders to take advantage of potential divergences between the price action and volume related volatility.
Users will have to enable or disable alternative algorithms depending on their choice.
Uniqueness
This indicator is unique because it combines multiple algorithm-specific two-volume analyses with price volatility.
This indicator is also unique because it amends different algorithms to show output on a similar scale enabling traders to observe various volume-analysis tools simultaneously whilst allocating different colour codes.
Open source re-use
This indicator utilises the following open-source scripts:
Volume Strength FinderGenerally, Volume indicator shows total Volume of a candle. In this Volume Strength Finder Indicator, I tried to separate Strength of buyers and sellers based on the candle stick pattern. Calculating Buyer and Seller Strength each and every candle of the day based on the pattern formation.
High - close => Buyers
Close - low => Sellers
in this way, cumulative volume separates for buyer and sellers and comparing with total volume of the day and showing results.
if buyer strength more than seller, candle bar color remains green even a candle is negative candle(Open>close) and wise versa.
Note: This is for Education Purpose only.
Volume Filtered *All Candlestick Patterns* [KT] Hello!
This script uses TradingView's *All Candlestick Patterns* indicator and includes a volume filter.
The frequency of each candlestick pattern is recorded in addition to the subsequent session's outcome - higher or lower close.
The requisite volume for the pattern is configurable; formations will not be distinguished when volume is less than the defined lower threshold.
For example, setting the volume threshold to 10% forces the script to identify candlestick patterns in which volume for the session (candle) is 10% greater than the volume moving average. All candlestick patterns with volume less than (1.10 * volume MA) are discounted.
The script counts the frequency of each pattern - the number of times the pattern occurred - in addition to the next candle's outcome.
Pertinent statistics are displayed in the table, which can be hidden.
I plan on working on the script quite a bit more; please comment a suggestion if you have one! What else should be included?
Volume Variation Index IndicatorThis tool is a quantitative tip for analysts who study volumes or create volume based trading strategies.
Like all our projects, we start with a statistical logic to which we add coding logic.
This indicator can save a huge amount of time in calculating the variation of volume between sessions .
How it work
The indicator calculates the difference between the volume of the last closing bar and the volume of the previous closing bar. It shows the difference between the trading volumes.
The session in which the trading volume is up are represented in green.
Red session represent trading volume down.
We have added a third function.
Through the User Interface the trader can activate or deactivate the variation average.
The indicator is able to calculate the average of the volume changes by representing it with a blue line.
To activate the average, simply set it to ON in the User Interface.
By default, the indicator calculates the average of the last 10 periods, but you are free to set this parameter in the User Interface.
Data access
To access the data, simply move the cursor. When you move the cursor over the green bars, the increase data will be displayed in green. By hovering the cursor over the red bars you will see the decrease data in red. By hovering the cursor over the average will show you the average data in blue.
The data is displayed in the top left corner of the indicator dashboard.
If you found this indicator helpful, please like our script.
Candle Color by VolumeA simple but effective indicator that paints candles with different shades of colors based on the volume transacted.
-> Supports 6 levels of sensitivity at present. Might enhance the granularity later.
-> Darkest indicates the most volume transacted. Lightest, the least. Change it around however you see fit and based on your theme.
-> Use it for your Volume Spread Analysis and/or in conjunction with any other strategies that you employ.
-> Note that the volume ratio is calculated relative to the average volume of the last n candles ( EMA 20 by default).
Relative Strength Volume Adjusted Exponential Moving Avg [CC]The Relative Strength Volume Adjusted Exponential Moving Average was created by Vitali Apirine (Stocks and Commodities Feb 2022 pgs 14-18) and this is very similar of course to the last Relative Strength Exponential Moving Average . It works under the same concept with using overbought and oversold methods to adjust the moving average and with this particular version you will notice that sudden drops or increases won't follow super closely so this can be useful along with the other as a good complementary indicator to use with each other to determine the short and medium term trend and to give good entry and exit points. I have strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors are strong and lighter colors are normal. Buy when the indicator line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators or scripts you would like to see me publish!
Range Volume ChangeI was looking for a way to see if today's premarket volume is higher or lower than the previous day's premarket, but did not find any, hence, I made my own which I share with you now.
I call it 'Range Volume Change' or just RVC.
RVC will show the percentage of change between the selected time range and the previous day for the same time range.
This will allow us to see if the volume is increasing or decreasing today compared to the previous day by a specific time range that we set in PVC settings. It can do more than just premarket, you can use it for any time range of your interest which will work on 24hours assets like crypto and forex.
RVC visualizes the incremental of the volume using increasing size columns giving you a better view of how the volume changes compared to the past. The column shows the accumulated volume from when the time range started.
As an extra feature, it will also show the volume percentage of change outside the time range (can be disabled from settings).
In addition, RVC is also designed to work on real-time data.
Example of BTCUSDT (24-hour asset) with volume 'outside the time range', enabled (purple columns):

Volume Price Change RatioMessing around with this two point selecting ability I recently learned about from Tradingview's CAGR. Here is a script that will tell you changes in volume(obv)/price, volume to price change ratio, and the average volume to price change ratio for the length you define in the settings menu. You can use this to compare the ratio of a current pump to an older pump to help assess the strength of a movement. Enjoy!
True BarcolorHeikin Ashi can be useful for understanding trend based on price action but it doesn't take volume in context. Here I have tried to use volume for understanding true bar color and ultimately true trend analysis. It can also help you in not getting trapped in sudden shakeouts. Also, you can use it for averaging of your existing position.

Relative Volume (rVol), Better Volume, Average Volume ComparisonThis is the best version of relative volume you can find a claim which is based on the logical soundness of its calculation.
I have amalgamated various volume analysis into one synergistic script. I wasn't going to opensource it. But, as one of the lucky few winners of TradingClue 2. I felt obligated to give something back to the community.
Relative volume traditionally compares current volume to prior bar volume or SMA of volume. This has drawbacks. The question of relative volume is "Volume relative to what?" In the traditional scripts you'll find it displays current volume relative to the last number of bars. But, is that the best way to compare volume. On a daily chart, possibly. On a daily chart this can work because your units of time are uniform. Each day represents a full cycle of volume. However, on an intraday chart? Not so much.
Example: If you have a lookback of 9 on an hourly chart in a 24 hour market, you are then comparing the average volume from Midnight - 9 AM to the 9 AM volume. What do you think you'll find? Well at 9:30 when NY exchanges open the volume should be consistently and predictably higher. But though rVol is high relative to the lookback period, its actually just average or maybe even below average compared to prior NY session opens. But prior NY session opens are not included in the lookback and thus ignored.
This problem is the most visibly noticed when looking at the volume on a CME futures chart or some equivalent. In a 24 hour market, such as crypto, there are website's like skew can show you the volume disparity from time of day. This led me to believe that the traditional rVol calculation was insufficient. A better way to calculate it would be to compare the 9:30 am 30m bar today to the last week's worth of 9:30 am 30m bars. Then I could know whether today's volume at 9:30 am today is high or low based on prior 9:30 am bars. This seems to be a superior method on an intraday basis and is clearly superior in markets with irregular volume
This led me to other problems, such as markets that are open for less than 24 hours and holiday hours on traditional market exchanges. How can I know that the script is accurately looking at the correct prior relevant bars. I've created and/or adapted solutions to all those problems and these calculations and code snippets thus have value that extend beyond this rVol script for other pinecoders.
The Script
This rVol script looks back at the bars of the same time period on the viewing timeframe. So, as we said, the last 9:30 bars. Averages those, then divides the: . The result is a percentage expressed as x.xxx. Thus 1.0 mean current volume is equal to average volume. Below 1.0 is below the average and above 1.0 is above the average.
This information can be viewed on its own. But there are more levels of analysis added to it.
Above the bars are signals that correlate to the "Better Volume Indicator" developed by, I believe, the folks at emini-watch and originally adapted to pinescript by LazyBear. The interpretation of these symbols are in a table on the right of the indicator.
The volume bars can also be colored. The color is defined by the relationship between the average of the rVol outputs and the current volume. The "Average rVol" so to speak. The color coding is also defined by a legend in the table on the right.
These can be researched by you to determine how to best interpret these signals. I originally got these ideas and solid details on how to use the analysis from a fellow out there, PlanTheTrade.
I hope you find some value in the code and in the information that the indicator presents. And I'd like to thank the TradingView team for producing the most innovative and user friendly charting package on the market.
(p.s. Better Volume is provides better information with a longer lookback value than the default imo)
Credit for certain code sections and ideas is due to:
LazyBear - Better Volume
Grimmolf (From GitHub) - Logic for Loop rVol
R4Rocket - The idea for my rVol 1 calculation
And I can't find the guy who had the idea for the multiples of volume to the average. Tag him if you know him
Final Note: I'd like to leave a couple of clues of my own for fellow seekers of trading infamy.
Indicators: indicators are like anemometers (The things that measure windspeed). People talk bad about them all the time because they're "lagging." Well, you can't tell what the windspeed is unless the wind is blowing. anemometers are lagging indicators of wind. But forecasters still rely on them. You would use an indicator, which I would define as a instrument of measure, to tell you the windspeed of the markets. Conversely, when people talk positively about indicators they say "This one is great and this one is terrible." This is like a farmer saying "Shovels are great, but rakes are horrible." There are certain tools that have certain functions and every good tool has a purpose for a specific job. So the next time someone shares their opinion with you about indicators. Just smile and nod, realizing one day they'll learn... hopefully before they go broke.
How to forecast: Prediction is accomplished by analyzing the behavior of instruments of measure to aggregate data (using your anemometer). The data is then assembled into a predictive model based on the measurements observed (a trading system). That predictive model is tested against reality for it's veracity (backtesting). If the model is predictive, you can optimize your decision making by creating parameter sets around the prediction that are synergistic with the implications of the prediction (risk, stop loss, target, scaling, pyramiding etc).

True Volume Flow IndexAn indicator that studies the price movement with the trading volume in the form of an equation that represents the trading volume in the price range.
It is excellently used to determine buying from support areas, as well as confirming the breach of resistances, see the example in the attached chart,
The best use of it is the DIVERGENCE between the indicator and the price.
