Volume Pairwise Highlight### Volume Pairwise Highlight
**Overview:**
The "Volume Pairwise Highlight" Pine Script is designed to analyze and visualize the relationship between the volumes of consecutive candlesticks in a trading chart. This script calculates the high-low difference of each candlestick and plots it, while also highlighting specific conditions in the volume histogram.
**Key Features:**
1. **High-Low Difference Calculation:**
- The script calculates the difference between the high and low prices of each candlestick.
- This difference is plotted as a histogram on the main chart for easy visualization.
2. **Volume Condition Highlight:**
- The script checks if the volume of the previous candlestick is higher than the volume of the current candlestick.
- If this condition is met, the current volume bar is highlighted in red; otherwise, it is colored green.
- This helps traders quickly identify periods where there was a drop in volume compared to the previous period.
3. **Volume Display:**
- The volume is plotted as a histogram on a separate pane, making it easy to compare volumes across different periods.
- The coloring of the volume bars provides a quick visual cue for significant changes in trading volume.
4. **Information Display:**
- The script dynamically updates and displays the volume and high-low difference values on the chart.
- This provides traders with immediate feedback on the current trading activity.
5. **Optional Moving Average:**
- The script includes an optional moving average of the high-low difference.
- This moving average can be customized in length and helps smooth out the data for better trend analysis.
**Customization:**
- **Volume Threshold:** Customize the volume threshold to highlight specific volume conditions.
- **Highlight Color:** Adjust the highlight colors to suit your visual preferences.
- **Moving Average Length:** Modify the length of the moving average to better fit your analysis needs.
**Usage:**
This script is useful for traders looking to:
- Identify significant changes in trading volume.
- Analyze the volatility of candlesticks through high-low differences.
- Quickly spot periods of declining volume, which could indicate potential changes in market trends.
By providing clear visual cues and detailed volume analysis, the "Volume Pairwise Highlight" script aids traders in making more informed trading decisions.
Volume Data Table (Real-time & Historical Volume Analysis)Volume Data Table (Real-time & Historical Volume Analysis)
Overview:
The Volume Data Table indicator is a powerful tool designed to provide concise, real-time, and historical volume insights directly on your chart. It aggregates critical volume metrics into an organized, customizable table, making it incredibly easy to identify unusual volume activity, sudden surges, or sustained interest in a particular asset.
This indicator is perfect for traders who rely on volume analysis to confirm price movements, spot potential reversals, or gauge market conviction.
Key Features & How It Works:
Real-time Volume Metrics:
The table prominently displays the volume data for the current (last) candle, including:
Time: The precise time of the current candle's close, formatted in IST (Indian Standard Time - UTC+5:30) for your convenience.
Volume: The total volume for the current candle, smartly formatted in K (Thousands) or M (Millions) for readability.
Change % (Chg%): The percentage change in volume compared to the immediately preceding candle. This helps you quickly spot sudden increases or decreases in trading activity.
Vs 4-Avg % (vs4Avg%): The percentage change in volume compared to the average volume of the last 4 preceding candles. This is crucial for identifying volume surges or drops relative to recent historical activity, which can signal significant market events.
Configurable Historical Data:
Beyond the current candle, you can customize how many previous candles' volume data you wish to display. A simple input setting allows you to choose from 1 to 20 historical rows, giving you flexibility to review recent volume trends. Each historical row also provides its own "Change %" and "Vs 4-Avg %" for detailed analysis of past candle activity.
Intuitive Color-Coding:
Percentage change values are intuitively color-coded for instant visual cues:
Green: Indicates a positive (increase) in volume percentage.
Red: Indicates a negative (decrease) in volume percentage.
Clean & Organized Table Display:
The indicator presents all this data in a neat, easy-to-read table positioned at the top-right of your chart. The table automatically adjusts its height based on the number of historical rows you choose, ensuring a compact and efficient use of screen space.
Ideal Use Cases:
Volume Confirmation: Quickly confirm the conviction behind price movements. A strong price move on high "Vs 4-Avg %" volume often indicates higher reliability.
Spotting Abnormal Volume: Identify candles with unusually high or low volume compared to their recent average, which can precede or accompany significant price action.
Momentum Analysis: Understand if buying/selling pressure is increasing or decreasing over recent periods.
Scalping & Day Trading: The real-time updates and concise format make it highly effective for fast-paced short-term decision-making.
Complements Other Indicators: Use it alongside price action, candlestick patterns, or other technical indicators for a more robust analysis.
Customization Options:
Number of Historical Rows: Adjust Number of Historical Rows from 1 to 20 to tailor the depth of your historical volume review.
Important Disclaimer:
This indicator is a technical analysis tool and should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy. It is not financial advice. Trading in financial markets involves substantial risk, and you could lose money. Always perform your own research and risk management.
Volume Histogram with ThresholdsVolume Histogram with Thresholds
Description:
This indicator displays a histogram of volume bars with color coding based on customizable volume thresholds. It helps traders quickly identify potential breakouts and breakdowns by comparing current volume against a moving average of past volume.
Features:
Customizable Average Volume Period – Allows you to set a lookback period for calculating average volume.
Color-Coded Bars for Quick Visual Reference:
Gray: Below average volume (low activity)
Blue: Near average volume (normal activity)
Green: Above average volume (potential breakout/breakdown)
Red: Significantly above average volume (high-confidence move)
Plots an Orange Reference Line – Represents the average volume for easy comparison.
Usage:
Adjust "Average Volume Period" to set the moving average length for volume.
Modify "Above Average" and "High Volume" multipliers to fine-tune breakout/breakdown sensitivity.
Look for green and red bars to confirm strong moves in price action.
This indicator can help confirm the validity of breakouts and breakdowns by visually emphasizing volume surges. 🚀
Explanation of Presets in the Indicator
The indicator comes with three user-configurable settings that determine how volume is analyzed and displayed. Here’s what they do and why they matter:
1. Average Volume Period (Default: 50)
This setting controls the number of past bars used to calculate the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of volume.
A larger value (e.g., 100) smooths out fluctuations and gives a broader view of average volume trends.
A smaller value (e.g., 20) makes the average more responsive to recent volume changes.
2. Above Average Threshold (Multiplier, Default: 1.5)
This defines the first level of volume increase that is considered above average.
If the current volume is 1.5 times greater than the moving average volume, the histogram bar turns green.
You can lower this value (e.g., 1.2) to make the indicator more sensitive or increase it (e.g., 2.0) to filter out smaller spikes.
3. High Volume Threshold (Multiplier, Default: 2.5)
This determines the threshold for what is considered significantly above average volume.
If the current volume is 2.5 times greater than the moving average volume, the histogram bar turns red.
This setting helps highlight extremely strong volume surges, which are more likely to indicate high-confidence breakouts or breakdowns.
How to Adjust These Presets for Different Market Conditions
If you trade high-volatility assets, you might want to increase the multipliers (e.g., 2.0 and 3.5) to focus only on the strongest moves.
If you trade low-liquidity assets, you might need to lower the multipliers (e.g., 1.2 and 2.0) to capture smaller but meaningful volume shifts.
Short-term traders (scalping/day trading) may prefer a lower average volume period (e.g., 20) to get faster signals.
By tweaking these settings, you can adapt the indicator to your trading style and the asset you’re analyzing. 🚀

NB:
My previous version "Volume" violated the Pine Code house rules, so it got shielded from public view. This is my first experience with writing in Pine Code and publishing. I suspect it was because I didn't publish with a clean chart without other indicators added. My apologies in advance if version 2.0 is again another violation, which will then get shielded again. I am only publishing out of good will to share that's all.
Volume FlaresVolume Flares – Spotting Abnormal Volume by Time of Day
Most volume tools compare current volume to a moving average of the last X bars. That’s fine for seeing short-term changes, but it ignores how volume naturally ebbs and flows throughout the day.
Volume at 9:35 is not the same as volume at 1:15.
A standard MA will treat them the same.
What Volume Flares does differently:
Breaks the day into exact time slots (based on your chosen timeframe).
Calculates the historical average volume for each slot across past sessions.
Compares the current bar’s volume only to its own slot’s historical average.
Marks when current volume is significantly higher than normal for that exact time of day.
Visuals:
Colored columns = historical average volume for each slot (dark = quiet, bright = busy).
Green stepline = today’s actual current volume.
Dark red background = current volume > 130% of that slot’s historical average.
Volume Behavior table = live % comparison and raw values for quick reference.
How I use it:
Red and green arrows on the price chart are manually drawn where the background turns red in the volume panel.
These often align with liquidity grabs, institutional entries, or areas where the market is “louder” than it should be for that moment in the day.
Helps filter out false urgency — high volume at the open isn’t the same as high volume in the lunch lull.
Key takeaway:
This is not a buy/sell signal.
It’s context.
It’s about spotting when the market is behaving out of character for that specific moment, and using that to read intent behind the move.

Volume vs Price Impact Z-ScoreVolume vs Price Impact Z‑Score
This indicator measures how disproportionate the traded volume is relative to the price movement of a candle.
Step 1: Volume-to-Price Impact (VPI)
VPI = Volume / (abs(Close - Open) + ε)
(or optionally using High - Low as the price range)
Step 2: Z‑Score Standardization
Z = (VPI - SMA(VPI, length)) / STDEV(VPI, length)
Interpretation:
Z > 2 → High volume with little price movement → possible absorption (accumulation/distribution).
Z < -2 → Large price move with low volume → weak or illiquid move (potential false breakout).
Use cases:
Detecting accumulation/distribution phases.
Highlighting false breakouts or weak price moves.
Supporting entry/exit decisions based on market efficiency (volume vs. price impact).
Volume Profile - EdzVolume Profile – Edz is a lightweight indicator that identifies the top high-volume price levels over a recent range of candles, using customizable price binning (priceStep) and lookback length. It highlights the top N volume clusters with horizontal lines, labels, and strength-based star ratings (★–★★★), and displays a compact summary table showing price, volume, and relative strength. Optimized for intraday and short-term trading, this tool updates only on the latest bar for maximum performance and is ideal for spotting volume-based support, resistance, and high-confluence trading zones.
Volume FlowVolume Flow
This is an indicator script based on
Calculate the trading volume through the moving average series of indicators. If the long position moving average exceeds the volume moving average, it is considered a strong long signal, if the short position moving average exceeds the volume moving average, it is considered a strong short signal.

Volume Stack EmojisVolume Stack visualizes market bias and momentum for each candle using intuitive emojis in a dedicated bottom pane, keeping your main price chart clean and focused. The indicator analyzes where price closes within each bar’s range to estimate bullish or bearish pressure and highlights key momentum shifts.
Features:
Bullish and Bearish States:
🟩 Green square: Normal bullish candle
🟥 Red square: Normal bearish candle
Strong Bullish/Bearish:
🟢 Green circle: Strong bullish (close near high)
🔴 Red circle: Strong bearish (close near low)
Critical Transitions:
✅ Green checkmark: Bearish → strong bullish (momentum reversal up)
❌ Red cross: Bullish → strong bearish (momentum reversal down)
Easy Visual Scanning:
Emojis plotted in the indicator’s own pane for rapid pattern recognition and clean workflow.
No overlays:
Keeps all symbols off the main price pane.
How it works:
For each candle, the indicator calculates the percentage distance of the close price within the high/low range, then classifies and marks:
Normal bullish/bearish: Basic directional bias
Strong signals: Close is at least 75% toward the high (bullish) or low (bearish)
Transitions: Detects when the market suddenly flips from bullish to strong bearish (❌), or bearish to strong bullish (✅), pinpointing possible inflection points.
This indicator is ideal for traders who want a simple, non-intrusive visualization of intrabar momentum and key reversals—making trend reading and market sentiment effortless.
Volume Candle IndicatorVolume Candle is the candle with highest volume, which usually breaking the high of that candle can trigger a potential entry if its in a good place in the chart.
and losing the low of it, can trigger a stoploss if you entered on break of the high.

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.
Volume Spread Analysis [TANHEF]Volume Spread Analysis: Understanding Market Intentions through the Interpretation of Volume and Price Movements.
█ Simple Explanation:
The Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) indicator is a comprehensive tool that helps traders identify key market patterns and trends based on volume and spread data. This indicator highlights significant VSA patterns and provides insights into market behavior through color-coded volume/spread bars and identification of bars indicating strength, weakness, and neutrality between buyers and sellers. It also includes powerful volume and spread forecasting capabilities.
█ Laws of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA):
The origin of VSA begins with Richard Wyckoff, a pivotal figure in its development. Wyckoff made significant contributions to trading theory, including the formulation of three basic laws:
The Law of Supply and Demand: This fundamental law states that supply and demand balance each other over time. High demand and low supply lead to rising prices until demand falls to a level where supply can meet it. Conversely, low demand and high supply cause prices to fall until demand increases enough to absorb the excess supply.
The Law of Cause and Effect: This law assumes that a 'cause' will result in an 'effect' proportional to the 'cause'. A strong 'cause' will lead to a strong trend (effect), while a weak 'cause' will lead to a weak trend.
The Law of Effort vs. Result: This law asserts that the result should reflect the effort exerted. In trading terms, a large volume should result in a significant price move (spread). If the spread is small, the volume should also be small. Any deviation from this pattern is considered an anomaly.
█ Volume and Spread Analysis Bars:
Display: Volume and/or spread bars that consist of color coded levels. If both of these are displayed, the number of spread bars can be limited for visual appeal and understanding, with the spread bars scaled to match the volume bars. While automatic calculation of the number of visual bars for auto scaling is possible, it is avoided to prevent the indicator from reloading whenever the number of visual price bars on the chart is adjusted, ensuring uninterrupted analysis. A displayable table (Legend) of bar colors and levels can give context and clarify to each volume/spread bar.
Calculation: Levels are calculated using multipliers applied to moving averages to represent key levels based on historical data: low, normal, high, ultra. This method smooths out short-term fluctuations and focuses on longer-term trends.
Low Level: Indicates reduced volatility and market interest.
Normal Level: Reflects typical market activity and volatility.
High Level: Indicates increased activity and volatility.
Ultra Level: Identifies extreme levels of activity and volatility.
This illustrates the appearance of Volume and Spread bars when scaled and plotted together:
█ Forecasting Capabilities:
Display: Forecasted volume and spread levels using predictive models.
Calculation: Volume and Spread prediction calculations differ as volume is linear and spread is non-linear.
Volume Forecast (Linear Forecasting): Predicts future volume based on current volume rate and bar time till close.
Spread Forecast (Non-Linear Dynamic Forecasting): Predicts future spread using a dynamic multiplier, less near midpoint (consolidation) and more near low or high (trending), reflecting non-linear expansion.
Moving Averages: In forecasting, moving averages utilize forecasted levels instead of actual levels to ensure the correct level is forecasted (low, normal, high, or ultra).
The following compares forecasted volume with actual resulting volume, highlighting the power of early identifying increased volume through forecasted levels:
█ VSA Patterns:
Criteria and descriptions for each VSA pattern are available as tooltips beside them within the indicator’s settings. These tooltips provide explanations of potential developments based on the volume and spread data.

Volume Profile Free Pro (25 Levels Value Area VWAP) by RRBVolume Profile Free Pro by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
All available Volume Profile Free Pro versions are listed below (They are very similar and I don't want to publish them as separate indicators):
ver 1.0: style columns implementation
ver 2.0: style histogram implementation
ver 3.0: style line implementation
This indicator calculates Volume Profile for a given range and shows it as a histogram consisting of 25 horizontal bars.
It can also show Point of Control (POC), Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP StdDev High/Low as dynamically moving levels.
Free accounts can't access Standard TradingView Volume Profile, hence this indicator.
There are 3 basic methods to calculate the Value Area for a session.
- original method developed by Steidlmayr (calculated around POC)
- classical method using StdDev (calculated around the mean VWAP)
- another method based on the mean absolute deviation (calculated around the median)
POC is a high volume node and can be used as support/resistance. But when far from the day's average price it may not be as good a trend filter as the other methods.
The 80% Rule: When the market opens above/below the Value Area and then returns/stays back inside for 2 consecutive 30min periods it has 80% chance of filling VA (like a gap).
There are several versions: Free, Free Pro, Free MAX. This is the Free Pro version. The Differences are listed below:
- Free: 30 levels, Buy/Sell/Total Volume Profile views, POC
- Free Pro: 25 levels, +Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP High/Low Levels, Above/Below Area Dimming
- Free MAX: 50 levels, packed to the limit
Features:
- Volume Profile with up to 25 levels (3 implementations)
- POC, Developing POC Levels
- Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side View modes
- Side Cover
- Value Area, VAH/VAL dynamic levels
- VWAP High/Low dynamic levels with Source, Length, StdDev as params
- Show/Hide all levels
- Dim Non Value Area Zones
- Custom Range with Highlighting
- 3 Anchor points for Volume Profile
- Flip Levels Horizontally
- Adjustable width, offset and spacing of levels
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels and Transparency for buy/sell levels
Usage:
- specify max_level/min_level for a range (required in ver 1.0/2.0, auto/optional in ver 3.0 = set to highest/lowest)
- select range (start_bar, range length), confirm with range highlighting
- select mode Value Area or VWAP to show corresponding levels.
- flip/select anchor point to position the buy/sell levels, adjust width and spacing as needed
- select Buy/Sell/Total/Side by Side view mode
- use POC/Developing POC/VA/VWAP High/Low as S/R levels. Usually daily values from 1-3 days back are used as levels for the current day.
- Green - buy volume of a specific price level in a range, Red - sell volume. Green + Red = Total volume of a price level in a range
There's no native support for vertical histograms in Pinescript (with price axis as base)
Basically, there are 4 ways to plot a series of horizontal bars stacked on top of each other:
1. plotshape style labeldown (ver 0 prototype discarded)
- you can have a set of fixed width/height text labels consisting of a series of underscores and moving dynamically as levels. Level offset controls visible length.
- you can move levels and scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- you can't fill the gaps between levels/adjust/extend width, height - this results in a half baked volume profile and looks ugly
- fixed text level height doesn't adjust and looks bad on a log scale
- fixed font width also doesn't scale and can't be properly aligned with bars when zooming
2. plot style columns + hist_base (ver 1.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small adjacent vertical columns with level offsets controlling visible length.
- you can't hide/move levels of the volume profile histogram dynamically on each bar, they must be plotted at all times regardless - you can't delete the history of a plot.
- you can't scale the base width of the volume profile histogram dynamically, can't set show_last from input, must use a preset fixed width for each level
- hist_base can only be a static const expression, can't be assigned highest/lowest range values automatically - you have to specify max_level/min_level manually from input
- you can't control spacing between columns - there's an equalizer bar effect when you zoom in, and solid bars when you zoom out
- using hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- level top can be properly aligned with another level's bottom producing a clean good looking histogram
- columns are properly aligned with bars automatically
3. plot style histogram + hist_base (ver 2.0)
- you can plot long horizontal bars using a series of small vertical bars (horizontal histogram) instead of columns.
- you can control the width of each histogram bar comprising a level (spacing/horiz density). Large enough width will cause bar overlapping and give level a "solid" look regardless of zoom
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style - custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
- this method still uses hist_base and inherits other limitations of ver 2.0
4. plot style lines (ver 3.0)
- you can also plot long horizontal bars using lines with level offsets controlling visible length.
- lines don't need hist_base - fast and smooth redraw times
- you can calculate the highest/lowest range values automatically. max_level/min_level inputs are optional
- level top can't be properly aligned with another level's bottom and have a proper spacing because line width uses its own units and doesn't scale
- fixed line width of a level (vertical thickness) doesn't scale and looks bad on log (level overlapping)
- you can only set width <= 4 in UI Style, a custom textbox input is provided for larger values. You can set width and plot transparency from input
Notes:
- hist_base for levels results in ugly load/redraw times - give it 3-5 sec to finalize its shape after each UI param change
- indicator is slow on TFs with long history 10000+ bars
- Volume Profile/Value Area are calculated for a given range and updated on each bar. Each level has a fixed width. Offsets control visible level parts. Side Cover hides the invisible parts.
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels - UI Style color/transparency can only change shape's color and doesn't affect textcolor, hence this additional option
- Custom Widh for levels - UI Style supports only width <= 4, hence this additional option
- POC is visible in both modes. In VWAP mode Developing POC becomes VWAP, VA High and Low => VWAP High and Low correspondingly to minimize the number of plot outputs
- You can't change buy/sell level colors (only plot transparency) - this requires 2x plot outputs exceeding max 64 limit. That's why 2 additional plots are used to dim the non Value Area zones
- Use Side by Side view to compare buy and sell volumes between each other: base width = max(total_buy_vol, total_sell_vol)
- All buy/sell volume lengths are calculated as % of a fixed base width = 100 bars (100%). You can't set show_last from input
- Sell Offset is calculated relative to Buy Offset to stack/extend sell on top of buy. Buy Offset = Zero - Buy Length. Sell Offset = Buy Offset - Sell Length = Zero - Buy Length - Sell Length
- If you see "loop too long error" - change some values in UI and it will recalculate - no need to refresh the chart
- There's no such thing as buy/sell volume, there's just volume, but for the purposes of the Volume Profile method, assume: bull candle = buy volume, bear candle = sell volume
- Volume Profile Range is limited to 5000 bars for free accounts

Volume Profile Free Ultra SLI (100 Levels Value Area VWAP) - RRBVolume Profile Free Ultra SLI by RagingRocketBull 2019
Version 1.0
This indicator calculates Volume Profile for a given range and shows it as a histogram consisting of 100 horizontal bars.
This is basically the MAX SLI version with +50 more Pinescript v4 line objects added as levels.
It can also show Point of Control (POC), Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP StdDev High/Low as dynamically moving levels.
Free accounts can't access Standard TradingView Volume Profile, hence this indicator.
There are several versions: Free Pro, Free MAX SLI, Free Ultra SLI, Free History. This is the Free Ultra SLI version. The Differences are listed below:
- Free Pro: 25 levels, +Developing POC, Value Area/VWAP High/Low Levels, Above/Below Area Dimming
- Free MAX SLI: 50 levels, 2x SLI modes for Buy/Sell or even higher res 150 levels
- Free Ultra SLI: 100 levels, packed to the limit, 2x SLI modes for Buy/Sell or even higher res 300 levels
- Free History: auto highest/lowest, historic poc/va levels for each session
Features:
- High-Res Volume Profile with up to 100 levels (line implementation)
- 2x SLI modes for even higher res: 300 levels with 3x vertical SLI, 100 buy/sell levels with 2x horiz SLI
- Calculate Volume Profile on full history
- POC, Developing POC Levels
- Buy/Sell/Total volume modes
- Side Cover
- Value Area, VAH/VAL dynamic levels
- VWAP High/Low dynamic levels with Source, Length, StdDev as params
- Show/Hide all levels
- Dim Non Value Area Zones
- Custom Range with Highlighting
- 3 Anchor points for Volume Profile
- Flip Levels Horizontally
- Adjustable width, offset and spacing of levels
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels, Transparency for buy/sell levels
WARNING:
- Compilation Time: 1 min 20 sec
Usage:
- specify max_level/min_level/spacing (required)
- select range (start_bar, range length), confirm with range highlighting
- select volume type: Buy/Sell/Total
- select mode Value Area/VWAP to show corresponding levels
- flip/select anchor point to position the buy/sell levels
- use Horiz Buy/Sell SLI mode with 100 or Vertical SLI with 300 levels if needed
- use POC/Developing POC/VA/VWAP High/Low as S/R levels. Usually daily values from 1-3 days back are used as levels for the current day.
SLI:
use SLI modes to extend the functionality of the indicator:
- Horiz Buy/Sell 2x SLI lets you view 100 Buy/Sell Levels at the same time
- Vertical Max_Vol 3x SLI lets you increase the resolution to 300 levels
- you need at least 2 instances of the indicator attached to the same chart for SLI to work
1) Enable Horiz SLI:
- attach 2 indicator instances to the chart
- make sure all instances have the same min_level/max_level/range/spacing settings
- select volume type for each instance: you can have a buy/sell or buy/total or sell/total SLI. Make sure your buy volume instance is the last attached to be displayed on top of sell/total instances without overlapping.
- set buy_sell_sli_mode to true for indicator instances with volume_type = buy/sell, for type total this is optional.
- this basically tells the script to calculate % lengths based on total volume instead of individual buy/sell volumes and use ext offset for sell levels
- Sell Offset is calculated relative to Buy Offset to stack/extend sell after buy. Buy Offset = Zero - Buy Length. Sell Offset = Buy Offset - Sell Length = Zero - Buy Length - Sell Length
- there are no master/slave instances in this mode, all indicators are equal, poc/va levels are not affected and can work independently, i.e. one instance can show va levels, another - vwap.
2) Enable Vertical SLI:
- attach the first instance and evaluate the full range to roughly determine where is the highest max_vol/poc level i.e. 0..20000, poc is in the bottom half (third, middle etc) or
- add more instances and split the full vertical range between them, i.e. set min_level/max_level of each corresponding instance to 0..10000, 10000..20000 etc
- make sure all instances have the same range/spacing settings
- an instance with a subrange containing the poc level of the full range is now your master instance (bottom half). All other instances are slaves, their levels will be calculated based on the max_vol/poc of the master instance instead of local values
- set show_max_vol_sli to true for the master instance. for slave instances this is optional and can be used to check if master/slave max_vol values match and slave can read the master's value. This simply plots the max_vol value
- you can also attach all instances and set show_max_vol_sli to true in all of them - the instance with the largest max_vol should become the master
Auto/Manual Ext Max_Vol Modes:
- for auto vertical max_vol SLI mode set max_vol_sli_src in all slave instances to the max_vol of the master indicator: "VolumeProfileFree_MAX_RRB: Max Volume for Vertical SLI Mode". It can be tricky with 2+ instances
- in case auto SLI mode doesn't work - assign max_vol_sli_ext in all slave instances the max_vol value of the master indicator manually and repeat on each change
- manual override max_vol_sli_ext has higher priority than auto max_vol_sli_src when both values are assigned, when they are 0 and close respectively - SLI is disabled
- master/slave max_vol values must match on each bar at all times to maintain proper level scale, otherwise slave's levels will look larger than they should relative to the master's levels.
- Max_vol (red) is the last param in the long list of indicator outputs
- the only true max_vol/poc in this SLI mode is the master's max_vol/poc. All poc/va levels in slaves will be irrelevant and are disabled automatically. Slaves can only show VWAP levels.
- VA Levels of the master instance in this SLI mode are calculated based on the subrange, not the whole range and may be inaccurate. Cross check with the full range.
WARNING!
- auto mode max_vol_sli_src is experimental and may not work as expected
- you can only assign auto mode max_vol_sli_src = max_vol once due to some bug with unhandled exception/buffer overflow in Tradingview. Seems that you can clear the value only by removing the indicator instance
- sometimes you may see a "study in error state" error when attempting to set it back to close. Remove indicator/Reload chart and start from scratch
- volume profile may not finish to redraw and freeze in an ugly shape after an UI parameter change when max_vol_sli_src is assigned a max_vol value. Assign it to close - VP should redraw properly, but it may not clear the assigned max_vol value
- you can't seem to be able to assign a proper auto max_vol value to the 3rd slave instance
- 2x Vertical SLI works and tested in both auto/manual, 3x SLI - only manual seems to work (you can have a mixed mode: 2nd instance - auto, 3rd - manual)
Notes:
- This code uses Pinescript v3 compatibility framework
- This code is 20x-30x faster (main for cycle is removed) especially on lower tfs with long history - only 4-5 sec load/redraw time vs 30-60 sec of the old Pro versions
- Instead of repeatedly calculating the total sum of volumes for the whole range on each bar, vol sums are now increased on each bar and passed to the next in the range making it a per range vs per bar calculation that reduces time dramatically
- 100 levels consist of 50 main plot levels and 50 line objects used as alternate levels, differences are:
- line objects are always shown on top of other objects, such as plot levels, zero line and side cover, it's not possible to cover/move them below.
- all line objects have variable lengths, use actual x,y coords and don't need side cover, while all plot levels have a fixed length of 100 bars, use offset and require cover.
- all key properties of line objects, such as x,y coords, color can be modified, objects can be moved/deleted, while this is not possible for static plot levels.
- large width values cause line objects to expand only up/down from center while their length remains the same and stays within the level's start/end points similar to an area style.
- large width values make plot levels expand in all directions (both h/v), beyond level start/end points, sometimes overlapping zero line, making them an inaccurate % length representation, as opposed to line objects/plot levels with area style.
- large width values translate into different widths on screen for line objects and plot levels.
- you can't compensate for this unwanted horiz width expansion of plot levels because width uses its own units, that don't translate into bars/pixels.
- line objects are visible only when num_levels > 50, plot levels are used otherwise
- Since line objects are lines, plot levels also use style line because other style implementations will break the symmetry/spacing between levels.
- if you don't see a volume profile check range settings: min_level/max_level and spacing, set spacing to 0 (or adjust accordingly based on the symbol's precision, i.e. 0.00001)
- you can view either of Buy/Sell/Total volumes, but you can't display Buy/Sell levels at the same time using a single instance (this would 2x reduce the number of levels). Use 2 indicator instances in horiz buy/sell sli mode for that.
- Volume Profile/Value Area are calculated for a given range and updated on each bar. Each level has a fixed length. Offsets control visible level parts. Side Cover hides the invisible parts.
- Custom Color for POC/VA/VWAP levels - UI Style color/transparency can only change shape's color and doesn't affect textcolor, hence this additional option
- Custom Width - UI Style supports only width <= 4, hence this additional option
- POC is visible in both modes. In VWAP mode Developing POC becomes VWAP, VA High and Low => VWAP High and Low correspondingly to minimize the number of plot outputs
- You can't change buy/sell level colors from input (only transparency) - this requires 2x plot outputs => 2x reduces the number of levels to fit the max 64 limit. That's why 2 additional plots are used to dim the non Value Area zones
- You can change level transparency of line objects. Due to Pinescript limitations, only discrete values are supported.
- Inverse transp correlation creates the necessary illusion of "covered" line objects, although they are shown on top of the cover all the time
- If custom lines_transp is set the illusion will break because transp range can't be skewed easily (i.e. transp 0..100 is always mapped to 100..0 and can't be mapped to 50..0)
- transparency can applied to lines dynamically but nva top zone can't be completely removed because plot/mixed type of levels are still used when num_levels < 50 and require cover
- transparency can't be applied to plot levels dynamically from script this can be done only once from UI, and you can't change plot color for the past length bars
- All buy/sell volume lengths are calculated as % of a fixed base width = 100 bars (100%). You can't set show_last from input to change it
- Range selection/Anchoring is not accurate on charts with time gaps since you can only anchor from a point in the future and measure distance in time periods, not actual bars, and there's no way of knowing the number of future gaps in advance.
- Adjust Width for Log Scale mode now also works on high precision charts with small prices (i.e. 0.00001)
- in Adjust Width for Log Scale mode Level1 width extremes can be capped using max deviation (when level1 = 0, shift = 0 width becomes infinite)
- There's no such thing as buy/sell volume, there's just volume, but for the purposes of the Volume Profile method, assume: bull candle = buy volume, bear candle = sell volume
