On Balance Volume/PriceFirst, look at the chart, then read.
Use OBV/Price to see a price adjusted by 'On Balance Volume' - (OBV), a momentum indicator that measures positive and negative volume flow, was developed by Joseph Granville and introduced in 1963.
The indicator, together with trend lines, provides good entry/ exit points.
In the chart note the exit point before the crash.
Also, note the "wedge" - a bit lees optimistic that the 'price only' wedge for SPY.
X-volume
Dollar normalized volumeAn indicator that multiply the closing price with the current volume. (close X volume)
This will show the relative interest in the underlying asset regardless of the price change over time. For the case of FXCM, when the price fell from $16 to $1, its volume spiked 16x at the same time given the fact that 16x more shares can now be purchased with the same amount of dollar.
Enjoy! and remember to give a thumbs up.

The following indicators try to acknowledge in a K-I-S-S approach to the eye (Keep-It-Simple-Stupid), the two most important aspects of nearly every trading vehicle: -- PRICE ACTION IN RELATION BY IT'S VOLUME --
A) My approach is to make this indicator both as a "Trend Follower" as well as a Volatility expressed in the Bands which are the weighting basis of the trend given their "Cross Signal" given by the Buy & Sell Volume Pressures algorithm. >
B) Please experiment with lookback periods against different timeframes. Given the nature of the Volume Mathematical Monster this kind of study is and in concordance with Price Action; at first glance I've noted that both in short as in long term periods, the indicator tends to adapt quite well to general price action conditions. BE ADVICED THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL!

Herrick Payoff IndexThe Herrick Payoff Index is designed to show the amount of money flowing into or out of a futures contract. The Index uses open interest during its calculations, therefore, the security being analyzed must contain open interest.
The Herrick Payoff Index was developed by John Herrick.When the Herrick Payoff Index is above zero, it shows that money is flowing into the futures contract (which is bullish). When the Index is below zero, it shows that money is flowing out of the futures contract (which is bearish).
The interpretation of the Herrick Payoff Index involves looking for divergences between the Index and prices.

Buy to Sell Convergence / Divergence and Volume Pressure Counterforce Histogram Ideas by: @XeL_Arjona
WHAT IS THIS?
The following indicators try to acknowledge in a K-I-S-S approach to the eye (Keep-It-Simple-Stupid), the two most important aspects of nearly every trading vehicle: -- PRICE ACTION IN RELATION BY IT'S VOLUME --
Volume Pressure Histogram: Columns plotted in positive are considered the dominant Volume Force for the given period. All "negative" columns represents the counterforce Vol.Press against the dominant.
Buy to Sell Convergence / Divergence: It's a simple adaptation of the popular "Price Percentage Oscillator" or MACD but taking Buying Pressure against Selling Pressure Averages, so given a Positive oscillator reading (>0) represents Bullish dominant Trend and a Negative reading (<0) a Bearish dominant Trend. Histogram is the diff between RAW Volume Pressures Convergence/Divergence minus Normalised ones (Signal) which helps as a confirmation.
Volume bars are by default plotted from RAW Volume Pressure algorithms, but they can be as well filtered with Karthik Marar's approach against a "Total Volume Average" in favor to clean day to day noise like HFT.

Nadex Fx Volume Indicator Vv1By request
Nadex Fx Volume Indicator Vv1
Original source code & Credit goes to: Pip Foundry - Forex Market Volume from IDC
modified & replaced fx pairs to corrospond with Nadex spot/fx instruments // www.nadex.com
Volume Spike Analysis [marketsurvivalist]This indicator is based on the ideas about Volume Spike Analysis written about by Vincent Kott in his book Volume Spike Analysis. Formulas are presented in the book for another platform, but I wrote the script based on the charts he provided.
The indicator basically takes out the noise and colors bars based on factors of time and volume for day. There are three different time periods you can set: Short, Medium, Long. Each period can be set with a different color. The period value looks for highest volume bar within that period. If today's volume bar is the hightest value, it colors the volume bar based on the formatted color. It does not matter if the price bar is up or down. The defaults are 4 days, 20 days, 100 days. There is also a volume moving average available to show or hide based on you trading style.
The purpose is to easily see changes in volume. Typically, you would like to see volume rising as a new trend begins. This will show up quickly as you will see a cluster of rising red and / or purple bars.
DecisionPoint Volume Swenlin Trading Oscillator [LazyBear]This is the volume version of "DecisionPoint Breadth Swenlin Trading Oscillator"
DecisionPoint Swenlin Trading Oscillator can be used to identify short-term tops and bottoms. You can read about the interpretation of the signals (& gotchas) in the link below.
I have added support for NYSE / NASD / AMEX and also a combined mode. You can specify custom advancing/declining volume symbols too.

Having both Swenlin Breadth and Volume oscillators help spot the divergences quickly:

On request from SunnyBTC for trading Forex pairs that do not themselves have any volume indication.
The concept: A simple OBV that will display the volume of a security other than what you are charting.
Edit: This script has been updated.

Requested by user SunnyBTC for use in the Forex market on the EURUSD pair.
This simple indicator will allow you to view the volume of a security other than the one you are currently charting.
Edit: This script has since been updated. Please see related link at bottom.
Volume Accumulation Percentage Indicator [LazyBear]Volume Accumulation Percentage Indicator (VAPI) is a variation of the classic volume-accumulation indicators. It uses volume the same way as OBV except that it assigns volume weights based on intraday volatility.
In a positive trend, if the stock price is close to a (local) new high, the VAPI should be at its maximum as well (and vice versa for a negative trend). If the market is looking for a direction, if the price is in the bottom side of his current trading range and if, at the same moment the VAPI osc slopes up, there is accumulation on the stock and that the prices should start to climb. The SELL signal is given when the VAPI decreases (distribution). Divergences are usually very effective too.
Tuning the "length" parameter may be needed for your instrument (default is 10), do let me know if you find a different value to be optimal for majority of instruments.

Fisher Transform of On Balance Volume (by ChartArt)A simple mash-up of the On Balance Volume (OBV) indicator with the Fisher Transform indicator (blue) with the classic Fisher Transform signal trigger (silver color), plus a linear regression as a second signal line (red).
I recommend to use a period for the linear regression which has the same speed or is slower than the period of the Fisher Transform to avoid overshooting.
P.S. Here are three areas where the indicator worked quite good on historic charts
Volume BombI am republishing to use a clean chart. Previous one had too much of a mess. Idea for TradingView: Please allow us to change out the charts after publishing.
I like to know when volume spikes (only when it spikes). I am not interested in seeing the rest of the volume bars. I created this indicator to show me when it explodes (i.e. the name "Volume Bomb" , plus it sounds cool).
This indicator only shows you when volume exceeds the EMA of volume by whatever multiplier you set.
Default settings are the current volume with 10 EMA. Yellow arrowup will appear when volume is at 1.5x the 10 EMA.
Adjust it to your liking and particular stock.

Price Volume Rank [LazyBear]Price-Volume Rank, designed by Anthony J. Macek, compares the direction of the change in price (up or down) to the direction of the change in volume and assigns a number to that specific relationship. By quantifying price/volume interaction, P-V rank seeks to determine our position within a typical market cycle.
The various modes shown on the chart above or explained below. Also, read on for a little trick using the new Pine feature that you can use in your script.
How to read the PVR?
-------------------
The most desirable market condition occurs when both price and volume are moving up, that phenomenon is assigned a PVR of 1.
The next most desirable condition, when prices are still moving up but volume is diminishing, is given a PVR of 2. Although still technically healthy, this relationship between price and volume issues a warning that market momentum is weakening.
The worst-case scenario, seen when selling pressure is greatest with prices dropping and volume
increasing, is given PVR's weakest designation, 4.
Finally, even though prices are still moving down, volume begins to diminish as selling pressure abates. This price/volume relationship is assigned a PVR of 3, often alerting us to a potential buying opportunity ahead.
What do the modes mean?
----------------------
1) Histogram Mode: This plots PVR along with helpful ranges. Be careful when PVR is trending at turn-around points.
2) MA Crossover Mode: This plots a slow/fast MA of PVR. Default is 5/10 SMA. Buy is signalled when slow MA falls below fast MA. Sell is signalled when slow MA crosses up fast MA. There is a warning line at 2.5 that can be used for more confirmation.
3) Double Smoothed Crossover Mode: Same as MA crossover, but PVR is smoothed more. Warning line (2.5 level) is very useful in this mode. Use slow MA as the signal and fast MA of PVR for tracking the market.
Misc notes:
-----------
This won't work for Forex and other instruments for which TradingView doesn't expose volume. Thanks to the new Text rendering feature of PlotShape(), I can actually let users know of that :) Good use-case, eh? I will post a sample chart below in the comments.
Feel free to use any part of this code in your indicators.

VPT_OBVThis is a derivation of the On Balance Volume Indicator.
The idea behind it is that volume consists of two parts. The driving theory is the basic law of supply and demand.
Part 1: Volume consists of shares traded at an equilibrium price. An equal number of buyers and sellers are present during this volume. This area is displayed as the upper and lower shadows on a single candlestick. For this indicator, volume traded in equilibrium is not included in the display.
Part 2: Volume consists of shares that are not traded at an equilibrium price, driving price up or down for the time period. In this volume, buyers or sellers are not present in equal numbers. This area is displayed as the body of the candlestick. This indicator focuses on this part of volume.
VPT_OBV plots only the volume that occurs at the difference in price between the open and the close. To achieve this, volume is divided by the difference between the high and the low (in pennies). Next, the difference between the open and close is calculated (in pennies). Volume is then divided by the difference in the high and low, to get the amount of volume needed to move the asset up or down by $0.01 during the time period. This number is then multiplied by the difference between the open and close.
VPT_OBV plots the outcome as a cumulative total. A simple moving average of the VPT_OBV is thrown in to provide smoothing.
