Delta Volume-ATR Change Indicator
The Delta Volume-ATR Change Indicator is designed to analyze the effectiveness of volume in relation to price volatility by comparing the percentage change in volume with the percentage change in ATR over the last two bars. This indicator provides insights into how volume changes impact price movement, allowing traders to gauge the strength or weakness of market momentum based on volume efficiency.
Formula:
% Volume Change = (Volume[2] - Volume[1]) / Volume[1] * 100
% ATR Change = (ATR[1] - ATR[2]) / ATR[2] * 100
Delta = % Volume Change - % ATR Change
The result, Delta, shows the difference between the volume change and ATR change, with positive delta indicating a stronger volume impact and negative delta suggesting weaker volume support relative to price movement.
Features:
Multiple Display Styles: Choose from three visualization styles — Histogram, Line, or Columns — to display delta values in a way that best fits your analysis style.
Delta Smoothing: The smoothed Delta line (using an SMA with customizable length) provides a clearer trend of volume efficiency over time.
Color Coding: Delta bars change color based on direction — green for positive values and red for negative, allowing for quick visual assessment of volume effectiveness.
Applications:
Identify market conditions where high volume is driving price effectively (positive Delta).
Detect instances of low volume efficiency, where price changes may not be fully supported by volume (negative Delta).
Useful for short-term and swing traders looking to understand volume patterns in relation to volatility.
This indicator is a valuable tool for traders seeking to gain insights into volume and volatility interplay, helping improve timing and reliability in market entries and exits.
