Shotoki - Relative V² IndexHi,
I share to you my Relative Volume/Volatility Index. They are 2 indicators in 1, but are calculated the same way. In purple we have the Relative Volume Index and in green the Relative Volatility Index
The RV²I is a ratio between a sum of the volume/volatility from a long period and the sum of the volume from a shorter period.
The shorter period has obviously less volume that's why we create a coefficient to make it relevant regarding the long and short period.
When the the RV²I is equal to 1 then the market is behaving as before.
We here more looking for rising up RV²I to anticipate big moves.
The lighter the Index is the more active the market is.
When the volume index is above the volatility one then the market is struggling to find trend.
When the volume index is below the volatility one then the market is more likely to have a trend, no struggle.
If you want to use only one of these I suggest you to use the purple one (volume). When it goes up then there are more volume in stake and that's where I'm looking for trades
You can use it at any timeframe.
Best regards, Shotoki

[VC] Cumulative Delta PLUS It is a Merged Version of our following two indicators.
V.C Box Chart Histogram
&
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram.
We merged them at the user's request & convenience. This merged version also helps to save space for other indicators.
Description & Usage
Description & Usage will remain the same as described in individual descriptions of the above-mentioned parent indicators. Only one additional input is added to adjust the scale, named "Scale_Setting''.
Because now it's a merged version of 2 different indicators & both indicators have their different scale levels. To bring both indicators on an equal scale so that they can be visualised better, we have added scale adjustment settings that are easy to understand. Let's elaborate it.
Scale adjustment settings belong to the Cumulative length of the ' 'Cumulative Delta Indicator'' . Keep in mind that the best scale setting is keeping the scale setting values near or equal to cumulative length.
For example:
If you set cumulative length 20, the scale setting value should also be 20 or near 20 (like 17, 18, 19 etc.). (It depends on you, how large cumulative columns you want to see relative to Box chart Histogram)
Note: Any scale setting value can be used, it only affects visuals, not the actual calculations.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram It is purely Volume, Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis-based tool. Before applying this Indicator to your study, you should clear your concepts about Volume, Delta & Spread, Demand & Supply, and Aggressive & Passive behaviour of buyers/sellers.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
[VC] Cumulative Delta Histogram V1.0The V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram shows the market's ongoing Buying/Selling pressure. It helps to determine whether Supply or Demand is dominating and in control.
➤If the Cumulative Delta Increases, the buyers are in control.➚
➤If the Cumulative Delta Decreases, the sellers are in control.➘
The use cases for this Indicator are vast and correlated with our other Delta Indicators. The following examples will explain how to use this Indicator.
Example 1 EUR / USD
In the above example, Negative Cumulative Delta Decreased & Turned into Positive Cumulative Delta. That indicates that sellers are losing control & buyers are getting power.
As a confirmation on the ' 'Box Chart Histogram'' it is evident that Demand is also increasing.
And on ''Wave Chart Index'' as a 3rd confirmation, you can see that the Delta has also increased compared to previous waves.
Example 2
Positive Delta on Cumulative Delta Histogram is decreasing & Negative Delta started increasing.
On the Box Chart Histogram , Demand is decreasing & Supply is increasing.
Additionally, on the Wave Chart Index , the Delta of the wave is also decreasing.
(in short, besides ''Cumulative Delta Histogram," Box chart Histogram & Wave Chart Index is also adding additional confirmation)
Note: Two types of Delta sources are included in this Cumulative Delta Indicator.
Type A: Simple Delta
Type B: Delta %
Simple Delta is the difference between Net Buying - Selling pressure.
Delta % also works in the same calculation, but a Volume weighted algorithm is applied on it.
You may use any of them that suits your analysis.

[VC] Cumulative Delta Volume BarsLet's first learn what is Delta & How to Use Cumulative Delta Volume Bars?
Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is one of the leading indicators that you can use when trading order flow. It gives you an instant snapshot of the buying and selling pressure in a market.
After reading the detailed description of "Cumulative Delta Volume Bars," you will understand how volume delta provides a critical edge by allowing you to spot significant potential reversals in the market. You will also learn to use this Cumulative Delta indicator in depth. (including rest session usability features)
What is Delta Volume?
Delta Volume is the difference between Buying and Selling Power. Delta Volume is calculated by taking the difference between the volume traded at the offer price and the volume traded at the bid price. (in simple words, the difference between buying pressure & selling pressure)
If delta volume is more than zero, you have more buying pressure than selling & vice versa, and if delta volume is less than zero, you have more selling pressure than buying.
In Order-Flow Analysis , traders used Cumulative Delta to measure the relationship between the Buying & Selling pressure Vs Price.
Cumulative delta volume takes the delta values for every bar and successively adds them together to provide a graph, as seen below visually.
Let me demonstrate by giving examples of how cumulative Delta can help measure the buying or selling pressure relative to the price move.
★ Trading Absorption & Exhaustion concepts with Delta
See the chart below & try to analyze the next possible move on the basses on the analysis mentioned on the chart.
➽➽ If you said Short, you were correct. ✅
Till Point A , both price & cumulative were aligned. (means there were no imbalances between Delta & Price).
But on Point B , the Cumulative Delta broke the previous resistance clearly and moved even further away from the resistance level, but the Price couldn't break the last resistance. It interprets that buyers applied a lot of buying pressure but no result. (Aggressive buying pressure absorbed by Passive sellers)
Due to this vast effort or failed attempt, buyers were exhausted and had no more strength to pull the Price up. That's why the Price reversed from Point B . See below image
★ Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is helpful when determining buying or selling pressure at different key price levels, such as swing highs or lows.
Let's recap on swing highs and swing lows.
➽ A swing high (S.H) is formed when the high reaches higher than the price action around it. Once the Price moves above a prior swing high and begins to retrace, a new swing high is formed.
➽ A swing low (S.L) is formed when the low reaches lower than price action around it. Once the Price moves below a prior swing low and begins to retrace, a new swing low is formed.
➽ When the Price makes higher highs and higher lows, a market is considered an uptrend.
➽ When the Price is making lower lows followed by lower highs, a market is considered a downtrend.
When evaluating Delta, it's beneficial to compare delta values at swing lows or swing highs to determine the amount of selling or buying pressure and how the market reacts.
The actual Power of Delta is revealed when we use it to determine the market's reaction to powerful buying or selling. We want to see if the market has reacted as we would expect or not.
In the above Example, you will notice that every time price breaks a swing, Delta does as well.
It makes sense as it takes selling pressure to break a swing low or buying pressure to break a swing high. In simple words, we can say that there is no anomaly between delta direction & price direction.
In simple words (No Absorption or Exhaustion)
But what's occurring when this isn't the case, and we have divergence between Price and Delta? Let's analyze it with real examples.
★ Understanding Delta Divergence.
(Lack of Harmony in Buying/Selling Pressure & Price Move)
Notice how the Price breaks out of the previous resistance level on the above chart, but the Delta didn't yet reach even close to its last resistance level. It's a clear divergence between Price and Delta. Buyers may be slightly exhausted at the previous resistance level, and Price & Delta may retrace slightly. But in a broader view, it reflects a strong bullish signal.
See the above chart & see when and why the Price moved. I hope it will help you understand the underlying relation & story between Price & Delta.
Cumulative Delta & Trade Management
Delta will help you spot significant reversals, but it can also be used to help manage your open trade. You want to see a high correlation between Delta and Price when in a long or short position.
Suppose you're short while the Price is breaking a new low. You want to see Delta breaking low if sellers aren't interested in selling at the recent lows, represented by Delta not breaking lows. The probability of a short term reversal or a significant retrace increases.
When in a position, always be on the lookout for exhaustion and absorption, signalling a reversal potential.

-------------------------------------------------
➽Conclusion:
Cumulative Volume Delta Bars is one of the leading indicators you can include as an order flow trader in your arsenal. It gives you an inside look at buying and selling pressure and how the market reacts.
But Keep in mind, in trading & technical analysis, nothing is 100% certain. No indicator can give you a 100% success rate. There is no holy grail in the financial market. As a trader, with the help of technical & fundamental indicators, our goal is to find an edge over the market. A simple definition of an edge is: Anything that adds a few points to the winning side of an equation builds an edge that lasts a lifetime. A trading edge defines your technical or strategic advantage in the highly competitive market environment. Traders can establish multiple edges by starting with popular strategies and customizing rules to lower the risk of getting trapped with the emotional crowd.

Volume DeltaVolume Delta
This indicator aims to provide users an idea for momentum and exhaustion, via differentiating between the buy delta and sell delta.
The purpose of this indicator is to give a deeper dive into the data provided by tradingviews volume indicator with greater granularity intrabar from a HTF perspective! (suitable for 30min and up but will work as low as 5m)
Below we can see an additional 2 modes,
Split:
Delta:
The difference between the 3 modes include:
Split is a separation of the initial mode "Singular" it divides the 2 into separate axis positioning to allow for a different perspective of the same data.
Delta: Takes the difference of the 2 and makes it easier for users to see which side was in control, personally delta makes it easier to see DIVS in momentum and where exhaustion is occuring.
[VC] Wave Chart Index V1.0V.C Wave Chart Index
Richard D. Wyckoff created the first wave chart, and he instructed students to think in waves. He was an early 20th-century pioneer in the technical approach to studying the stock market and is considered one of the five "titans" of technical analysis, along with Dow, Gann, Elliott and Merrill.
V.C Wave Chart Index is the most comprehensive version of Wyckoff's theory. It is used to measure the strength & weakness of each market move by comparative data analysis. It draws waves on the chart based on Gann Swing theory. At the end of each wave, a label shows all the cumulative data & information of the wave.
With the help of this indicator, You can measure each swing or high/low movement of the market by comparing it with previous high/low price movements. The comparison can be made by using the following data of each wave.
Price Change
Volume Change
Delta Change
Delta % Change
Buy Volume
Sell Volume
Time Spent (Bar Counter)
V.C Wave Chart Index is not only an indicator but itself a unique & comprehensive tool kit to measure & compare each move of the market. This tool enables you to see deep inside each movement of the market. It allows you to observe the nitty-gritty data of each wave at the micro-level with your nacked eyes. With the help of Delta & (C.C) Close to Close Price Change, it is now easy to apply effort & result and cause & effect theory to your analysis. (total volume, buy volume, sell volume & delta % can also be used for comparative analysis)
V.C Wave Chart Index Properties
Price Change or (P.C): Shows the price Change of the Wave
Buy Volume (B.V): Shows the Cumulative Buy Volume of the Wave

Delta % ∆ : Shows the Cumulative Delta % of the wave
Total Volume (T.V): Shows the Cumulative Total Volume of the Wave
Bar Count (B.C): Shows how much time it took to Complete the Wave
Swing Price: Shows the Reversal Price of the Wave
V.C Wave Chart Index Settings & Inputs Explained
Sensitivity (%): This input helps you adjust to the wave's steepness. 0.001 is my recommended value for all time frames.
Cumulation: This input helps you to control the length & formation of the wave: ( the fewer values = more wave formations & vice versa)
Wave Color: Allow you to change the color of the wave

Display Swing Price Change (P.C): Allow you to show/hide price change
Display Close to Close Price Change (C.C): Allow you to show/hide close to close price changes. (previous wave close to current wave close) (recommended for comparative analysis)
P.C Format: Allow you to select the price formate
C.C Format: Allow you to select the price formate
Display Bar Counter (B.C): Allow you to show/hide the bar counter
Comparative Data Analysis Example in the light of Effort & Result Theory
A short explanation of the above analysis
On Wave A , the close to close price change (C.C) is $354 . (its the distance of price that price travelled from the low of the previous wave)
and price travelled this distance with 632 Delta (Delta is an effort which is used to travel the price)
On Wave B , close to close price change (C.C) is -$359 , almost the same distance as the previous wave. But for this distance price used 47% more Delta than the last wave. ( previous Delta is 632 , but current Delta is 931 that is 47% extra)
It indicates that sellers have put more effort in Wave B than Wave A . However, they got similar results as the previous wave. In other words
More Effort & Less Result = Reversal Sign
(that's why in the above example price reversed from a support level)
* Notice that Wave B is also on a key support area/level. And on key support or resistance area, this kind of comparative analysis can give an extra edge in your analysis.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Wave Chart Index is not a BUY/SELL signal based indicator or a holy grail trading system.
It is purely Volume, Delta and comparative analysis based indicator. Before applying this indicator to your analysis, you should know about V.S.A, Volume, Delta & Spread.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
[2022]Volume Flow v3 with alertsIndicators are an essential part of technical analysis of cryptocurrency. Their main function is to predict market direction based on historic price, cryptocurrency volume and other information. There are several types of crypto indicators illustrating various parameters (trend, volatility, volume, momentum, etc.) but in this article we will look at volume indicators.
Volume indicators demonstrate changing of trading volume over time. This information is very useful as crypto trading volume displays how strong the current trend is. For example, if the price goes up and the volume is high then the trend is strong and will more likely last longer. There are various volume indicators, but we’ll talk about the most popular ones, such as:
On Balance Volume
Accumulation/Distribution Line
Money Flow Index
Chaikin Oscillator
Chaikin Money Flow
Ease of Movement
Effective Volume (Willain)This is the Effective Volume using the Average Separation Method
Excerpt:
The most obvious way to separate Large from Small Effective Volume is to calculate the per-minute average Effective Volume exchanged for all the
minutes of the day where a price inflection was found. The volume above that average is called Large Effective Volume (pg. 67)
Looks at the Close(n) to Close(n-1)/h-c*vol and registers it if its above 30% of total volume.
4C Volume w/ Relative Volume at TimeThis is a Volume indicator that also shows Relative Volume at Time (RVOL).
The RVOL is easily visible as a background color, that changes between Low and High RVOL colors.
The RVOL portion of the indicator is a modified version of the 'Relative Volume At Time' indicator by Tradingview (which has been the best/most accurate RVOL indicator i have seen yet on Tradingview, and seems to closely match the how the "Zanger Volume" indicator works).
Elevated RVOL can be a very important criteria for trading , especially on lower time frames.
This indicator can be used as a simple filter when looking at charts to determine whether it should be traded or not, based on the RVOL.
Higher volume/participation relative to previous time periods can lead to better follow through of moves and price action, and can lead to trending conditions.
Lower RVOL can lead to choppy market conditions, with lower participation and follow through on chart patterns.
The RVOL portion of the indicator draws from the Tradingview 'Relative Volume At Time' indicator developed by authors @e2e4mfck and @LucF , for TradingView.
This indicator takes the Past Volume mark and changes it into a background color.
High RVOL = When the day's cumulative volume is greater than the Past Volume levels, then the background is painted Blue by default
Low RVOL = When the day's cumulative volume is lower than the Past Volume levels, then the background is painted Purple by default
See annotated examples in the chart Below, which compares/contrasts this new indicator with the RVOL indicator by Tradingview:
Portions of the 'Relative Volume At Time' indictor code have been removed to clean up the script.
Plans in the future are to remove more code were possible, to further refine the script and speed up the processing times for the indicator.
If anyone is able to strip out more and keep it functioning the same, please let me know.
Enjoy.
Credit also goes to author @LazyBear . Portions of the Volume indicator is adapted from - HawkEye Volume Indicator
High Volume BarsThis script colors bars whenever their volume has exceeded more than a standard deviation (or multiples of it) from a given amount of bars in the past.
Volume is commonly used as confirmation for a break of a significant level, or as indicative of offside positions when a level fails to be defended. Conviction or Excess, depending on the context.
Volume Surge indicatorThis indicator highlight candles when Volume surge "X" times in compare of last "n" candle.
It helps you to find moments of market which Volatility and Position volumes raise significantly.
In other words, It shows footstep of "Big Banks" or "Whales" or other Giants ;)
- default value highlight candles when Volume is 2 time more than average of last 30 candle. But you can modify both values in your favor.
* You can set Alarm for notifying in advance when Volume surge happened on any chart.
I hope you guys find it helpful and handy
M.Right_Relative Volume and PVT (cc)Hello Traders,
I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your holiday!
Today I am releasing a Relative Volume and Price Volume Trend indicator that will help traders assess current price action based on its volume and trend.
Volume is one of the most important aspects of trading that is often overlooked by new traders. Generally, when the volume is higher than normal, something is happening with said equity. Whether that's selling or buying volume it shows importance.
The higher the volume the higher the interest of traders in the equity, so a sudden increase in volume relative to its average volume (relative volume) can cause an increased probability that the price will move.
Relative volume is very self-explanatory , it’s the volume relative to its average. In this indicator, I use several different average calculations to give the trader a clear picture of where the volume stands and added a few different trends using these averages. One is a modified Price Volume Trend.
PVT or Price Volume Trend is a momentum-based indicator that measures money flow in relation to volume. It is usually used to confirm trends, but can be used as a trading signal; as I’ve created some in here. I didn’t added divergences, but using divergences in PVT is another strong way to use it. PVT tends to mirror the market price movements; hence, confirm trends.
You will find this indicator to be jam packed full of features.
-Fully customizable: colors, shapes, lines, on/off toggles for everything.
-Includes:
---Relative Volume Wave.
---Shadow Waves that can help with trend confirmation.
---Vibrant Relative Price Spike in the forefront.
---Additional Volume Trend on bottom of volume bars
---Stat box: showing the Current, Average, and Relative volume on the current user selected timeframe.
---Signals.
---Alerts: prefilled.
Enjoy!
Please add a thumbs up if you like this and follow the instructions for access.

niceVOL (relative volume)Welcome to niceVOL - a quick display on if todays volume is above or below the average 30 day volume.
- When niceVOL is displayed in red and the number is below 100 we know todays volume is below average.
- When niceVOL is displayed in blue and the number is above 100 we know todays volume is above average.
The niceVOL indicator in the chart above is displaying a red color and a number below 100, this tells us todays volume is quite low and might be the reason why it isn't showing much movement.
Equation - ( todays volume / average 30 day volume ) * 100 = niceVOL
Below is snapshot of two assets, one with niceVOL above 100, in blue, and the other asset with niceVOL below 100, in red. This should give you a quick example of how easy it is to use.
Stay nice, this is not financial advice.

Volume x Price in Crores + RVolScript is designed predominantly for Indian users. Many are used to looking at numbers in lakhs and crores vs millions and billions, this provides a volume figure in rupee crores.
Formula is last close_price x volume / 1 cr or (close_price x volume /10000000). The second figure is the simple moving average (default to 20sma ) again in rupee crores. The third is the relative volume - todays volume / 20 day moving average.
Helpful especially when putting on a trade for a thinly traded stock. It is a quick gauge to how large or small one would want to buy or avoid. Helps manage risk. Also, great to see large volumes in crores to gauge institutional buys or sells.
On 10/NOV/21 - In the chart displayed here, Titan volumes are on average quite substantial as one can see. The 20 day moving average is 550 CR+. 10/NOV volumes are shown as 226 CR and the RVOL is 0.41 (226/550).
True Relative VolumeRelative Volume shows traders how "in-play" a current stonk is. Works great for day traders and scalpers!
Volume of Current TimeFrame's ratio to the average volume over X days back on the same time frame.
ie .
z = Volume at 0930-0940am over X days period divided by X
rVol = current volume divided by z
Dots at the bottom to indicate candles whose RVOL is morethan set minimum ratio.
Yes, its only 5 and 10 minutes. Might do calculations for other timeframes if this gets a good following.
Only works on US market session. 0930am to 0400pm EST.
Play Strategies :
- on break of support/resistance, if rvol supports action, ride direction of price action.
- look for in-play names, wait for price action to return to support/resistance area on low volume then
revisit if a bounce on the support/resistance line is supported by rVol again.
REMINDER!!!
This works only on 5 and 10 minutes TF. Dont forget to change your chart's timeframes.
This script will calculate erroneously if timeframe set on script and chart's current time frame are different.
Works even if extended market is enabled on your charts. It only looks at 0930 - 1600 EST bars.
Enjoy! Would love to hear your thoughts.
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).

[KL] Relative Volume + ATR StrategyThis strategy will enter into long position when (a) current volume is above the average volume, and when (b) volatility of prices (based on ATR) is relatively low.
Backtested on hourly timeframes, win rates range between 35% to 50% on stocks with positive drifts (i.e. tendency to move upwards). Default setups are as follows:
- Average volume is computed using simple moving average (sma) of 14 periods. By default, 1.4x ratio seems to work well on most large cap stocks. If it's too high, then amount of potential points for entry will decrease. But if it's too low, then this indicator becomes meaningless.
- ATR (for determining volatility), look back period is 14 (following conventions). I have noticed that the profits could change drastically when changed to different values for each individually security. Feel free to experiment around with this parameter.
Other information: This strategy is based off of one of my previous scripts; a script called "Relatively Volume Strategy". The objective of this new script is to simplify the process of determining periods of low volatility. In this new script, we assume prices are consolidating when current ATR is within its moving average value by +/- one standard deviation.
Relative Volume Pro - Realtime Volume FlowRelative volume compares the volume at a specific time in the trading day versus the prior volume at the same time of day over a specified range. This is an ideal way to gauge if there is significant volume driving a price move, either up or down.
What's Unique About this Relative Volume Indicator?
Many relative volume indicators simply divide the current volume by the average volume. Unfortunately, this calculation is not an accurate gauge of volume at a specific point in time and it will not account for typical spikes in volume that occur early and late in the day.
This indicator calculates relative volume on an intraday chart, looking at the volume for each bar in the current timeframe, over a range of days that is configured in Settings. For example, if the preferred lookback is set to 50 and you are on a 5-minute chart at 1:00pm, the indicator will determine the average of cumulative volume traded up to 1:00pm on each 5-minute bar, over the past 50 days. The result is an accurate representation of the "true" volume for a specific time in the day.
Relative Volume as Percentage or Ratio
Relative volume can be shown as a percentage change, a ratio or both. The calculations are the same, it's more about your preference.
For example, if a stock has traded 1M shares at 10:00am, yet the average over the past 50 days at 10:00am is 500k shares, the percentage increase is 100% and the ratio would be 2.0.
Intraday Charts
To accurately determine volume at a specific point during the trading day, as compared to the average at that same time of day, calculations need to be done on an intraday chart. This is your go-to chart to gauge realtime volume flow.
Daily, Weekly and Monthly Charts
Relative volume data is also shown on daily, weekly and monthly charts, however, it's important to note these values are based on the close of the respective timeframe.

Volume PlusVolume plus provides volume insights to identify increase or decrease in relative volume or sudden volume expansion that exceeds the average. Based on the period selected the script displays the color code.
Features
1. Two different sensitivity levels can be selected for volumes and coloring.
2. Whenever the volume is higher than the selected SMA, volume bars will change color.
3. Can Plot 20 SMA (can be changed)

SVA - Simple Volume Analyzer, by BlueJayBird [bjb] ENGLISH & SPANISH
------------------------------------- ENSLIGH
The idea was initially inspired in the concepts shared by @LazyBear on his indicator "Better Volume Indicator" (). But I found it somewhat complicated and dull. So I came up with this.
Concept:
It changes the color of volume bars based on surrounding volume changes.
Volume changes are plotted as volume MAs lines in the volume pane.
Whenever the volume is higher than these MAs, the bar changes color.
For this reason, the bar color change is RELATIVE TO the surroundings, because the color change depends on how far the MA has been extended due to sudden (or not) changes in the volume.
BAR COLORS:
Weak Green and Red: Low volume. The calm before or after the storm.
Normal Green and Red: Mid volume. Still low volume, you may get bored.
Yellow: High volume. Players are playing hard and harder.
White: Ultra-High Volume. The elephants stepped in.
NOTES:
SVA works better at lower timeframes. Though as far as I can tell, it works pretty well as far as 1D timeframe.

La idea estuvo inicialmente inspirada en los conceptos expuestos por @LazyBear en su indicador "Better Volume Indicator" (). Pero lo encontré un poco complicado y falto de claridad. Así que me inventé este.
Conceptp:
Cambia el color de las barras basándose en los últimos cambios de volumen.
Los cambios de volumen son ploteados como lineas de medias móviles (MAs, es decir "Moving Averages") en la sección del volumen (chart pane).
En cualquier momento que el volumen es mayor que estos MAs, el color de las barras cambia.
Por esta razon, el cambio de color de las barras es RELATIVO a lo que está sucediendo alrededor, ya que el cambio de color depende de qué tan lejos el MA se haya extendido por causa de los últimos cambios (o no) de volumen.
BAR COLORS:
Verde y rojo apagados: Volumen bajo (Low Volume). La calma antes de la tormenta.
Verde y rojo normales: Volumen medio (Mid volume). Volumen todavía bajo. Es posible que te aburras.
Amarillo: Volumen alto (High Volume). Los jugadores están jugando duro.
Blanco: Volumen ultra-alto (Ultra-High Volume). Los elefantes entran a la cancha.
NOTAS:
SVA funciona mejor en temporalidades menores. Pero por lo que he visto, funciona bien hasta la temporalidad de 1D.
[KL] Relative Volume StrategyThis strategy will Long when:
Confirmation #1: when volume is relatively high
Confirmation #2: during periods of price consolidation (See )
It exits when either (a) stop loss limit is reached, or when (b) price actions suggest trend is bearish.
Measuring price volatility to assume consolidation:
For each candlestick, we quantify price volatility by referring to the value of standard deviations (2x) of closing prices over a look-back period of 20 candles. This is exactly what the Bollinger Band (“BOLL”) indicates by default.
Knowing the value of standard deviation (2x) of prices (aka the width of lower/upper BOLL bands), we then compare it with ATR (x2) over a user-defined length (can be configured in settings). Volatility is considered to be low, relatively, when the standard deviation (x2) of prices is less than ATR (2x).
Baz: Relative VolumeThis script is for Relative Volume Percentage.
Lookback Period is the average period to include compare with current bar.
RVOL multiplier is the threhold % for relative volume. (In Color)
I have enabled coloring for different bar which let user easy to determine BUY or SELL Relative Volume
RELATIVE VOLUME
BUY - BLUE
SELL - RED
Can be used in smaller timeframe for intraday.
