Buy / Sell Volume Labels

INDICATOR NAME:
Buy/Sell Volume Labels

DESCRIPTION:

Buy/Sell Volume Labels displays real-time buying and selling volume with dynamic color-coded labels that highlight market dominance. The indicator automatically emphasizes the dominant side (buy or sell) with bright green or red backgrounds, while the non-dominant side fades to gray for instant visual clarity.
Key Features:

- Dynamic Color Coding: Dominant volume side displays in bright green (buy) or red (sell), non-dominant side in gray
- Trend Indicator: Optional "Bullish Trend", "Bearish Trend", or "Neutral" label shows current market bias
- Flexible Display Options: Choose to show percentages only, volume only, or both
- Customizable Position: Place labels anywhere on chart (top, center, bottom; left, center, right)
- Adjustable Size: Six size options from Tiny to Huge, including Auto
- Lookback Period: Calculate volume for current bar or sum across multiple bars
- Neutral Threshold: Define when market is considered neutral vs. trending

How It Works:

- The indicator calculates buying and selling volume based on where price closes within each bar's range. When buying volume dominates, the Buy label turns bright green with black text while the Sell label turns gray. When selling dominates, the Sell label turns bright red with white text while the Buy label turns gray. This makes it immediately obvious which side controls the market.

Perfect For:

- Day traders and scalpers on futures (/MNQ, /ES, /NQ)
