Volume CandlesVolume Candles — Context-Aware Candle Color
Description:
This visual indicator colors your price candles based on relative volume intensity, helping traders instantly detect low, medium, and high volume activity at a glance. It supports two modes — Percentile Ranking and Volume Average — offering flexible interpretation of volume pressure across all timeframes.
It uses a 3-tiered color system (bright, medium, dark) with customizable tones for both bullish and bearish candles.
How It Works:
You can choose between two modes for volume classification:
Ranking Mode (Default):
Measures current volume’s percentile rank over a lookback period. Higher percentiles = stronger color intensity.
Percentile thresholds:
< 50% → light color (low volume)
50–80% → medium intensity
> 80% → high volume
Volume Average Mode:
Compares current volume against its simple moving average (SMA).
Volume thresholds:
< 0.5× SMA → light color
Between 0.5× and 1.5× → medium
> 1.5× → high intensity
Candle Paint:
Candles are colored directly on the chart, not in a separate pane. Bullish candles use green shades, bearish use red. All colors are fully customizable.
How to Interpret:
Bright Colors = High volume (potential strength or climax)
Muted/Transparent Colors = Low or average volume (consolidation, traps)
Example Use Cases:
Spot fakeouts with large price movement on weak volume (dark color)
Confirm breakout strength with bright candles
Identify stealth accumulation/distribution
Inputs & Settings:
Mode: Ranking Percentile or Volume Average
Lookback Period for ranking and SMA
Custom Colors for bullish and bearish candles at 3 intensity levels
Best For:
Price action traders wanting context behind each candle
Scalpers and intraday traders needing real-time volume feedback
Anyone using volume as a filter for entries or breakouts
Pro Tips:
Combine with Price Action, Bollinger Bands or VWAP/EMA levels to confirm breakout validity and intent behind a move.
Use alongside RSI/MACD divergences for high-volume reversal signals.
For swing trading, expand the lookback period to better normalize volume over longer trends.

Polarity-VoVix Fusion Index (PVFI) Polarity-VoVix Fusion Index (PVFI) - Order Flow and Volatility Regime Detector
The PVFI is a next-generation indicator that fuses the Order Flow Polarity Index (OFPI) with a proprietary VoVix Volume Delta (VVD) engine. This tool is designed for traders who want to see not just how much volume is trading, but who is in control and how volatility is shifting beneath the surface.
What Makes PVFI Standout from the rest?
- Dual Engine: PVFI combines two advanced signals:
* OFPI: Measures real-time buy/sell pressure using candle body position and volume, then smooths it with a T3 moving average for clarity and responsiveness.
* VVD: Captures the "volatility of volume delta" - a normalized, memory-boosted measure of aggressive buying/selling, with a custom non-linear clamp for organic, non-pegged signals.
- Visual Clarity: Neon-glow OFPI line and shadowed, color-gradient VVD area make regime shifts and momentum instantly visible.
- Adaptive Dashboard: Toggle between a full-featured dashboard (desktop) and a compact info line (mobile) for seamless use on any device.
- Universal: Works on any asset - crypto, stocks, futures, forex - and any timeframe.
- No Chart Clutter: Clean, modern visuals and toggles for a pro look.
Inputs:
OFPI Lookback Length (ofpi_len): Sets the window for order flow pressure calculation. Shorter = more sensitive, longer = smoother. For scalping, try 5-10. For swing trading, 15-30. Crypto often benefits from shorter windows due to volatility.
OFPI T3 Smoothing Length (t3_len): Controls the smoothness of the OFPI line. Lower = more responsive, higher = smoother. Use 3-7 for fast markets, 8-15 for slow or higher timeframes.
OFPI T3 Volume Factor (t3_vf): Adjusts the T3’s sensitivity. Higher = more responsive, lower = more stable. 0.6-0.8 is typical. Raise for more “snappy” signals, lower for less noise.
VVD Delta Lookback (delta_len): Sets the window for VVD’s volume delta calculation. 10-20 for most assets. Shorter for high-volatility, longer for slow markets.
VVD Volatility Normalization Length (vol_norm_len): Normalizes VVD by recent volume. 15-30 is typical. Use higher for assets with wild volume swings.
VVD Momentum Memory (momentum_mem): Adds a “memory” boost to VVD, amplifying persistent buying/selling. 2-5 is common. Lower for choppy markets, higher for trending.
Show Dashboard (showDash): Toggles the full dashboard table (best for desktop). Turn off for a minimalist or mobile setup.
Show Compact Info Line (showInfoLabel): Toggles a single-line info label (best for mobile). Turn on for mobile or minimalist setups.
How PVFI Works:
- OFPI Calculation: Splits each candle’s volume into buy/sell pressure based on where the close is within the range. Aggregates over your chosen lookback, then smooths with a T3 moving average for a neon, lag-minimized signal.
- VVD Calculation: Measures the “aggression” of volume (body-weighted), normalizes by recent volume, and applies a memory boost for persistent trends. Uses a custom tanh clamp for a natural, non-pegged range.
- Visuals: OFPI is plotted as a neon line (with glow). VVD is a color-gradient area with a soft shadow, instantly showing regime shifts.
- Dashboard/Info Line: Desktop: Full dashboard with all key stats, color-coded and branded. Mobile: Compact info line with arrows for quick reads.
How you'll use PVFI:
- Bullish OFPI (Teal Neon, Up Arrow): Buyers are dominating. Look for breakouts, trend continuations, or confirmation with your own system.
- Bearish OFPI (Green Neon, Down Arrow): Sellers are in control. Watch for breakdowns or short setups.
- VVD Positive (Teal Area): Aggressive buying is increasing. Confirm with price action.
- VVD Negative (Purple Area): Aggressive selling is increasing. Use for risk management or short bias.
- Neutral/Flat: Market is balanced or indecisive. Consider waiting for a clear regime shift.
- Dashboard/Info Line: Use the dashboard for full context, or the info line for a quick glance on mobile.
Tips:
- For scalping, use lower lookbacks and smoothing.
- For swing trading, increase lookbacks and smoothing for stability.
- Works on all assets and timeframes - tune to your style.
Why PVFI is Unique:
- Fusion of Order Flow and Volatility: No other indicator combines body-based order flow with a volatility-of-volume delta, both visualized with modern, pro-grade graphics.
- Adaptive, Not Static: PVFI adapts to market regime, not just price movement.
- Mobile-Ready: Dashboard and info line toggles for any device.
- No Chart Clutter: Clean, color-coded, and easy to read.
For Educational Use Only
PVFI is a research and educational tool, not financial advice. Always use proper risk management and combine with your own strategy.
Trade with clarity. Trade with edge.

Threshold is fully customizable (default: 15,000,000)
Ideal for spotting explosive internal shifts on the 5-minute chart during key market moments
Alerts included for both up and down spikes
Use this to track aggressive buying or selling pressure across NYSE internals and time your entries on NQ, ES, or YM with stronger conviction.
Multi Moving Average with CustomizationCore Functionality
The indicator allows you to display up to 5 different moving averages on your chart simultaneously.
Each moving average can be fully customized with its own settings.
You can choose between
1. Simple Moving Average (SMA),
2. Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
3. Weighted Moving Average (WMA) types
Multi-Timeframe Support
One standout feature is the ability to display higher timeframe moving averages on lower timeframe charts.
For example, you can show a 200 EMA from the daily chart while viewing a 15-minute chart.
Advanced Visualization Features
The indicator includes several visualization enhancements:
1. MA Cloud - Creates a filled area between any two selected moving averages. The cloud automatically changes color based on which MA is on top - typically green when the faster MA is above (bullish) and red when below (bearish).
2. Golden/Death Cross Detection - Automatically detects and marks important MA crossover events:
* Golden Cross: When a shorter-term MA crosses above a longer-term MA (bullish signal)
* Death Cross: When a shorter-term MA crosses below a longer-term MA (bearish signal)
3. Trend Background - Colors the entire chart background based on whether price is above or below a specified MA, giving a clear visual indicator of the overall trend.
Alert System
The indicator can generate alerts when price crosses above or below any selected moving average. This feature is useful for automated trading signals or notifications, and can be configured to trigger once per bar.
Flexible Architecture
The code uses several programming techniques to maximize flexibility:
* Switch statements for selecting MA types and cloud values
* Conditional logic throughout the code
* Function abstraction for calculating MAs and handling multi-timeframe display
* String identifiers to select which MAs to use for cloud visualization
Unique Technical Aspects
1. The multi-timeframe plotting function solves the common problem of higher timeframe MAs looking distorted on lower timeframe charts.
2. The cloud feature uses string identifiers to select which MAs to use, allowing for any combination.
3. The indicator employs smart conditional logic to handle complex decision trees efficiently.
4. Every visual aspect (colors, line widths, display conditions) is customizable through the settings.
This indicator combines multiple technical analysis tools into a single, highly configurable package that can adapt to different trading styles and timeframes.
Its ability to correctly display higher timeframe MAs on lower timeframe charts makes it particularly valuable for traders who analyze multiple timeframes simultaneously.
No Supply / No Demand Candle AlertsNo Supply Candle: A No Supply candle generally has a large body (close near high) with low volume. So, you would likely want the body percentage to be high, meaning the price action is concentrated near the high of the candle.
No Demand Candle: A No Demand candle generally has a large body (close near low) with low volume. You would want a high body percentage but with the close near low.
(OFPI) Order Flow Polarity Index - Momentum Gauge (DAFE) (OFPI) Order Flow Polarity Index - Momentum Gauge: Decode Market Aggression
The (OFPI) Gauge Bar is your front-row seat to the battle between buyers and sellers. This isn’t just another indicator—it’s a momentum tracker that reveals market aggression through a sleek, centered gauge bar and a smart dashboard. Built for traders who want clarity without clutter, it’s your edge for spotting who’s driving price, bar by bar.
What Makes It Unique?
Order Flow Pressure Index (OFPI): Splits volume into buy vs. sell pressure based on candle body position. It’s not just volume—it’s intent, showing who’s got the upper hand.
T3 Smoothing Magic: Uses a Tilson T3 moving average to keep signals smooth yet responsive. No laggy SMA nonsense here.
Centered Gauge Bar: A 20-segment bar splits bullish (lime) and bearish (red) momentum around a neutral center. Empty segments scream indecision—it’s like a visual heartbeat of the market.
Momentum Shift Alerts: Catches reversals with “Momentum Shift” flags when the OFPI crests, so you’re not caught off guard.
Clean Dashboard: A compact, bottom-left table shows momentum status, the gauge bar, and the OFPI value. Color-coded, transparent, and no chart clutter.
Inputs & Customization
Lookback Length (default 10): Set the window for pressure calculations. Short for scalps, long for trends.
T3 Smoothing Length (default 5): Tune the smoothness. Tight for fast markets, relaxed for chill ones.
T3 Volume Factor (default 0.7): Crank it up for snappy signals or down for silky trends.
Toggle the dashboard for minimalist setups or mobile trading.
How to Use It
Bullish Momentum (Lime, Right-Filled): Buyers are flexing. Look for breakouts or trend continuations. Pair with support levels.
Bearish Momentum (Red, Left-Filled): Sellers are in charge. Scout for breakdowns or shorts. Check resistance zones.
Neutral (Orange, Near Center): Market’s chilling. Avoid big bets—wait for a breakout or play the range.
Momentum Shift: A reversal might be brewing. Confirm with price action before jumping in.
Not a Solo Act: Combine with your strategy—trendlines, RSI, whatever. It’s a momentum lens, not a buy/sell bot.
Why Use the OFPI Gauge?
See the Fight: Most tools just count volume. OFPI shows who’s winning with a visual that slaps.
Works Anywhere: Crypto, stocks, forex, any timeframe. Tune it to your style.
Clean & Pro: No chart spam, just a sharp gauge and a dashboard that delivers.
Unique Edge: No other indicator blends body-based pressure, T3 smoothing, and a centered gauge like this.

ADR / ATR Example:
The ADR and ATR can be used to provide information about average price moves to help set targets, stop losses, entries and exits based on the potential average moves.
Example: If the "% of ADR" is reading 100%, then 100% of the asset's average price range has been covered, suggesting that an additional move beyond the range has a lower probability.
Example: "ADR % of Price" provides potential price movement in percentage which can be used to asses R/R for asset.
Example: ADR (D) reading is 100% at market close but ATR (D) is at 70% at close. This suggests that there is a potential (coverage) move of 30% in Pre/Post market as suggested by averages.
Custom Volume Session Example:
Set indicator to 30 period average. Set custom time frame to 9:30am to 10:30am Eastern/New York.
When the time frame for the calculation is closed, the indicator will provide a comparison of the current days volume compared to the average of 30 previous days for that same time frame and display it as a percentage in the table.
In this example you could compare how the first hour of the trading day compares to the previous 30 day's average, aiding in evaluating the potential volume for the remainder of the day.
Notes:
Times must be entered in 24 hour format. (1pm = 13:00 etc.)
Volume indicator is for Intra-day time frames, not > Day.
How I use these values:
I use these calculations to determine if a ticker symbol has the necessary range to achieve target gains, to determine if the price oscillation is within "normal" ranges to determine if the trading day will be choppy, and to determine placement of stops and targets within average ranges in combination with support, resistance and retracement levels.
Impulse Zones | Flux Charts💎 GENERAL OVERVIEW
Introducing our new Impulse Zones indicator, a powerful tool designed to identify significant price movements accompanied by strong volume, highlighting potential areas of support and resistance. These Impulse Zones can offer valuable insights into market momentum and potential reversal or continuation points. For more information about the process, please check the "HOW DOES IT WORK ?" section.
Impulse Zones Features :
Dynamic Zone Creation : Automatically identifies and plots potential supply and demand zones based on significant price impulses and volume spikes.
Customizable Settings : Allows you to adjust the sensitivity of zone detection based on your trading style and market conditions.
Retests and Breakouts : Clearly marks instances where price retests or breaks through established Impulse Zones, providing potential entry or exit signals.
Alerts : You can set alerts for Bullish & Bearish Impulse Zone detection and their retests.
🚩 UNIQUENESS
Our Impulse Zones indicator stands out by combining both price action (impulsive moves) and volume confirmation to define significant zones. Unlike simple support and resistance indicators, it emphasizes the strength behind price movements, potentially filtering out less significant levels. The inclusion of retest and breakout visuals directly on the chart provides immediate context for potential trading opportunities. The user can also set up alerts for freshly detected Impulse Zones & the retests of them.
📌 HOW DOES IT WORK ?
The indicator identifies bars where the price range (high - low) is significantly larger than the average true range (ATR), indicating a strong price movement. The Size Sensitivity input allows you to control how large this impulse needs to be relative to the ATR.
Simultaneously, it checks if the volume on the impulse bar is significantly higher than the average volume. The Volume Sensitivity input governs this threshold.
When both the price impulse and volume confirmation criteria are met, an Impulse Zone is created in the corresponding direction. The high and low of the impulse bar define the initial boundaries of the zone. Zones are extended forward in time to remain relevant. The indicator manages the number of active zones to maintain chart clarity and can remove zones that haven't been touched for a specified period. The indicator monitors price action within and around established zones.
A retest is identified when the price touches a zone and then moves away. A break occurs when the price closes beyond the invalidation point of a zone. Keep in mind that if "Show Historic Zones" setting is disabled, you will not see break labels as their zones will be removed from the chart.
The detection of Impulse Zones are immediate signs of significant buying or selling pressure entering the market. These zones represent areas where a strong imbalance between buyers and sellers has led to a rapid price movement accompanied by high volume. Bullish Impulse Zones act as a possible future support zone, and Bearish Impulse Zones act as a possible future resistance zone. Retests of the zones suggest a strong potential movement in the corresponding direction.
⚙️ SETTINGS
1. General Configuration
Show Historic Zones: If enabled, invalidated or expired Impulse Zones will remain visible on the chart.
2. Impulse Zones
Invalidation Method: Determines which part of the candle (Wick or Close) is used to invalidate a zone break.
Size Sensitivity: Controls the required size of the impulse bar relative to the ATR for a zone to be detected. Higher values may identify fewer, larger zones. Lower values may detect more, smaller zones.
Volume Sensitivity: Controls the required volume of the impulse bar relative to the average volume for a zone to be detected. Higher values require more significant volume.
Labels: Toggles the display of "IZ" labels on the identified zones.
Retests: Enables the visual highlighting of retests on the zones.
Breaks: Enables the visual highlighting of zone breaks.

Liqudation HeatMap [BigBeluga]🔵 OVERVIEW
An advanced liquidity visualization tool that plots horizontal heat zones to highlight where potential liquidations and volume clusters are most likely hiding beneath price action.
Liqudation HeatMap scans historical price movements for local highs and lows with elevated volume or candle range. It then draws dynamic heatmap boxes—shaded from lime (low interest) to yellow (high interest)—revealing potential zones of trapped positions or stop clusters. A vertical scale on the right shows you the relative strength of volume behind each level, from 0 to the highest detected.
🔵 CONCEPTS
Maps areas of potential liquidity using volume or candle range (if volume is unavailable).
Identifies swing highs/lows (pivots) and extends heatmap boxes outward from these levels. Colors each zone based on the relative strength of volume concentration.
Fades or removes zones once price crosses their midpoints, simulating the idea of liquidity being “consumed.”
Displays a live vertical scale that shows the volume range for quick reference.
🔵 FEATURES
Dynamic Heatmap Zones:
Draws few boxes above and after pivot highs and below pivot lows, each shaded based on volume concentration.
Smart Coloring System:
Uses a gradient from lime (low) to yellow (high) to visually distinguish between weak and strong liquidity zones.
Adaptive ATR Widths:
Automatically adjusts zone thickness based on volatility (ATR), scaling intelligently across timeframes.
Liquidity Consumption Logic:
Zones are stope extending once price interacts with them—mimicking the behavior of real liquidation sweeps.
Volume Scale Legend:
A real-time scale is plotted on the right side, showing the min-max range of volume used for heat calculations.
🔵 HOW TO USE
Look for thick yellow zones to identify areas of concentrated stop losses or liquidation triggers.
Use these levels to anticipate mean reversion points or high-volatility zones.
Combine with your trend or structure tools to trade into or fade these liquidity pools.
On lower timeframes, use this tool to confirm entries around sweeps or deviations.
Use the right-side scale to compare relative zone strength instantly.
🔵 CONCLUSION
Liqudation HeatMap is a powerful visualization tool that uncovers where liquidity likely resides on the chart. By highlighting hidden traps and reactive levels in real-time, it gives traders a significant edge when it comes to spotting stop hunts, mean reversions, and areas of institutional interest. Whether you’re scalping or swing trading, this heatmap provides unmatched context on the market’s hidden intent.
VWAP Adaptive (RelVol-Adjusted)This indicator provides an Adaptive VWAP that adjusts volume weighting using RelVol (Relative Volume at Time), offering a more accurate and context-aware price reference during sessions with irregular volume behavior.
Classic VWAP calculates the average price weighted by raw volume, without considering the time of day. This becomes a serious limitation during major market events such as CPI releases, FOMC announcements, NFP, or large-cap earnings. These events often trigger massive volume spikes within one or two candles. As a result, the classic VWAP gets pulled toward those extreme prices and becomes permanently skewed for the rest of the session.
In such conditions, classic VWAP becomes unreliable. It no longer reflects fair value and often misleads traders relying on it for dynamic support, resistance, or reversion signals.
This Adaptive VWAP improves on that by using RelVol, which compares the current volume to the average volume seen at the same time over previous sessions. It gives more weight to price when volume is typical for that moment, and adjusts the influence when volume is statistically abnormal. This reduces the impact of isolated volume spikes and stabilizes the VWAP path, even in high-volatility environments.
For example, on SPY 1-minute or 5-minute charts during a CPI release, a massive spike in volume and price can occur within a single candle. Classic VWAP will immediately anchor itself to that spike. Adaptive VWAP using RelVol softens that effect and maintains a more realistic trajectory.
Key features:
- Adaptive VWAP weighted by time-adjusted Relative Volume (RelVol)
- Designed to maintain VWAP reliability during macroeconomic events
- Flexible anchoring: Session, Week, Month, Quarter, Earnings, etc.
- Optional display of Classic VWAP for comparison
- Up to 3 customizable deviation bands (standard deviation or percentage)
This tool is ideal for intraday traders who need a VWAP that remains usable and unbiased, even in volatile sessions. It adds robustness to VWAP-based strategies by incorporating time-sensitive volume normalization.
Retail Pain Index (RPIx) (RPIx) Retail Pain Index (DAFE)
See the Market’s Pain. Trade the Edge.
The Retail Pain Index (RPIx) is a next-generation volatility and sentiment tool designed to reveal the hidden moments when retail traders are most likely being squeezed, stopped out, or forced to capitulate. This is not just another oscillator—it’s a behavioral market scanner that quantifies “pain” as price rips away from the average entry zone, often marking the fuel for the next big move.
Why is RPIx so Unique?
Behavioral Volatility Engine:
RPIx doesn’t just track price or volume. It measures how far price is moving away from where the crowd has recently entered (using a rolling VWAP average), then normalizes this “distance” into a Z-score. The result? You see when the market is inflicting maximum pain on the most participants.
Dynamic, Intuitive Coloring:
The main RPIx line is purple in normal conditions, but instantly turns red when pain is extreme to the upside (+2.00 or higher) and green when pain is extreme to the downside (-2.00 or lower). This makes it visually obvious when the market is entering a “max pain” regime.
Threshold Lines for Clarity:
Dashed red and green lines at +2.00 and -2.00 Z-score levels make it easy to spot rare, high-pain events at a glance.
Signature Dashboard & Info Line:
Dashboard: A compact, toggleable panel in the top right of the indicator pane shows the current Z-score, threshold, and status—perfect for desktop users who want a quick read on market stress.
Info Line: For mobile or minimalist traders, a single-line info label gives you the essentials without cluttering your screen.
Inputs & Customization
Entry Cluster Lookback: Adjusts how many bars are used to calculate the “entry zone” (VWAP average). A higher value smooths the signal, a lower value makes it more responsive.
Pain Z-Score Threshold:
Sets the sensitivity for what counts as “extreme pain.” Default is ±2.00, but you can fine-tune this to match your asset’s volatility or your own risk appetite.
Show Dashboard / Show Compact Info Label:
Toggle these features on or off to fit your workflow and screen size.
How to utilize RPIx's awesomeness:
Extreme Readings = Opportunity:
When RPIx spikes above +2.00 (red) or below -2.00 (green), the market is likely running stops, liquidating weak hands, or forcing retail traders to capitulate. These moments often precede sharp reversals, trend accelerations, or volatility expansions.
Combine with Price Action:
Use RPIx as a confirmation tool for your existing strategy, or as a standalone alert for “pain points” where the crowd is most vulnerable.
Visual Edge:
The color-coded line and threshold levels make it easy to spot regime shifts and rare events—no more squinting at numbers or guessing when the market is about to snap.
Why RPIx?
Works on Any Asset, Any Timeframe:
Stocks, futures, crypto, forex—if there’s a crowd, there’s pain, and RPIx will find it.
Behavioral Alpha:
Most indicators lag. RPIx quantifies the psychological stress in the market, giving you a real-time edge over the herd.
Customizable, Clean, and Powerful:
Designed for both power users and mobile traders, with toggles for every workflow.
See the pain. Trade the edge.
Retail Pain Index: Because the market’s next move is written in the crowd’s discomfort.

Stop Cascade Detector Stop Cascade Detector (DAFE)
Unlock the Hidden Triggers of Market Momentum!
The Stop Cascade Detector (Bull & Bear, Info Bubble) is a next-generation tool designed for traders who want to see what the crowd can’t: the precise moments when clusters of stop orders are being triggered, unleashing explosive moves in either direction. The reason for this is traders taking there position too early. We on the other hand will take our positions once the less informed traders have been liquidated.
What Makes This Indicator Unique?
Not Just Another Volatility Tool:
This script doesn’t just measure volatility or volume. It detects the chain reactions that occur when price and volume spikes combine to trigger stop-loss clusters—events that often precede the most powerful surges and reversals in any market.
Directional Intelligence:
Unlike generic “spike” detectors, this tool distinguishes between bullish stop cascades (green, above the bar) and bearish stop cascades (red, below the bar), giving you instant clarity on which side of the market is being liquidated.
Visual Precision:
Each event is marked with a color-coded info bubble and a triangle, clearly separated from the price bars for maximum readability. No more guessing where the action is—see it, trade it, and stay ahead.
Universal Application:
Works on any asset, any timeframe, and in any market—futures, stocks, crypto, forex. If there are stops, this indicator will find the cascade.
What makes it work?
Momentum + Volume Spike:
The detector identifies bars where both price momentum and volume are simultaneously extreme (using Z-scores). This combination is a classic signature of stop runs and forced liquidations.
Bull & Bear Detection:
Bull Stop Cascade : Price plunges downward with a volume spike—likely longs getting stopped out.
Bear Stop Cascade: Price surges upward with a volume spike—likely shorts getting stopped out.
Info Bubbles:
Each event is labeled with the exact Z-scores for momentum and volume, so you can gauge the intensity of the cascade at a glance.
What will it do for you?
Front-Run the Crowd:
Most traders react after the move. This tool helps you spot the cause of the move—giving you a tactical edge to fade exhaustion, ride momentum, or avoid getting trapped.
Perfect for Scalpers, Day Traders, and Swing Traders:
Whether you’re looking for high-probability reversals or want to ride the wave, knowing when stops are being triggered is a game-changer.
No More Blind Spots:
Stop cascades are the hidden fuel behind many of the market’s biggest moves. Now you can see them in real time.
How to Use
Red Bubble Above Bar: Bear stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Green Bubble Below Bar: Bull stop cascade detected—watch for possible trend acceleration or reversal.
Combine with Your Strategy : Use as a confirmation tool, a reversal signal, or a filter for high-volatility environments. Level up your trading. See the market’s hidden triggers.
Stop Cascade Detector: Because the real edge is knowing what sets the market on fire.

Volume Flow OscillatorVolume Flow Oscillator
Overview
The Volume Flow Oscillator is an advanced technical analysis tool that measures buying and selling pressure by combining price direction with volume. Unlike traditional volume indicators, this oscillator reveals the force behind price movements, helping traders identify strong trends, potential reversals, and divergences between price and volume.
Reading the Indicator
The oscillator displays seven colored bands that fluctuate around a zero line:
Three bands above zero (yellow) indicate increasing levels of buying pressure
Three bands below zero (red) indicate increasing levels of selling pressure
The central band represents the baseline volume flow
Color intensity changes based on whether values are positive or negative
Trading Signals
The Volume Flow Oscillator provides several valuable trading signals:
Zero-line crossovers: When multiple bands cross from negative to positive, potential bullish shift; opposite for bearish
Divergences: When price makes new highs/lows but oscillator bands fail to confirm, signals potential reversal
Volume climax: Extreme readings where outer bands stretch far from zero often precede reversals
Trend confirmation: Strong expansion of bands in direction of price movement confirms genuine momentum
Support/resistance: During trends, bands may remain largely on one side of zero, showing continued directional pressure
Customization
Adjust these key parameters to optimize the oscillator for your trading style:
Lookback Length: Controls overall sensitivity (shorter = more responsive, longer = smoother)
Multipliers: Adjust sensitivity spread between bands for different market conditions
ALMA Settings: Fine-tune how the indicator weights recent versus historical data
VWMA Toggle: Enable for additional smoothing in volatile markets
Best Practices
For optimal results, use this oscillator in conjunction with price action and other confirmation indicators. The multi-band approach helps distinguish between minor fluctuations and significant volume events that might signal important market turns.

Description:
This indicator will create an overlay on your chart that will show you the following information:
Custom Session Volume
Average For Selected Session
Percentage Comparison
Options:
Set Custom Time Frame For Calculations
Set Custom Time Frame For Average Comparison
Set Custom Time Zone
Enable / Disable Each Value
Change Text Color
Change Background Color
Change Table location
Example:
Set indicator to 30 period average. Set custom time frame to 9:30am to 10:30am Eastern/New York.
When the time frame for the calculation is closed , the indicator will provide a comparison of the current days volume compared to the average of 30 previous days for that same time frame and display it as a percentage in the table.
In this example you could compare how the first hour of the trading day compares to the previous 30 day's average, aiding in evaluating the potential volume for the remainder of the day.
Notes:
Times must be entered in 24 hour format. (1pm = 13:00 etc.)
This indicator is for Intra-day time frames, not > Day.

Dynamic Volume Clusters with Retest Signals (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Dynamic Volume Clusters with Retest Signals indicator is designed to detect key Volume Clusters and provide Retest Signals. This tool is specifically engineered for traders looking to capitalize on volume-based trends, reversals, and key price retest points.
The indicator seamlessly combines volume analysis, dynamic cluster calculations, and retest signal logic to present a comprehensive trading framework. It adapts to market conditions, identifying clusters of volume activity and signaling when the price retests critical zones.
█ How It Works
⚪ Volume Cluster Detection
The indicator dynamically calculates volume clusters by analyzing the highest and lowest price points within a specified lookback period.
Cluster Logic:
Bright Lines (Strong Red/Green):
These indicate that the price has frequently revisited these levels, creating a dense cluster.
Such areas serve as support or resistance, where significant historical trading has occurred, often acting as barriers to price movement.
Traders should consider these levels as potential reversal zones or consolidation points.
Faded or Darker Lines:
These lines indicate areas where the price has less historical activity, suggesting weaker clustering.
These zones have less market memory and are more likely to break, supporting trend continuation and rapid price movement.
⚪ Candle Color Logic (Market Memory)
Blue Candles (High Cluster Density):
Candles turn blue when the price has revisited a particular area many times.
This signals a highly clustered zone, likely to act as a barrier, creating consolidation or range phases.
These areas indicate strong market memory, potentially rejecting price attempts to break through.
Green or Red Candles (Low Cluster Density):
Once the price breaks out of these dense clusters, the candles turn green (bullish) or red (bearish).
This suggests the price has moved into a less clustered territory, where the path forward is clearer and trends are likely to extend without immediate resistance.
⚪ Retest Signal Logic
The indicator identifies critical retest points where the price crosses a cluster boundary and then reverses. These points are essential for traders looking to catch continuation or reversal setups.
⚪ Dynamic Price Clustering
The indicator dynamically adapts the clustering logic based on price movement and volume shifts.
Uses a dynamic moving average (VPMA) to maintain adaptive cluster levels.
Integrates a Kalman Filter for smoothing, reducing noise, and improving trend clarity.
Automatically updates as new data is received, keeping the clusters relevant in real-time.
█ How to Use
⚪ Trend Following & Reversal Detection
Use Retest signals to identify potential trend continuation or reversal points.
⚪ Trading Volume Clusters and Market Memory
Identify Key Zones:
Focus on bright, saturated cluster lines (strong red or green) as they indicate high market memory, where price has spent significant time in the past.
These zones are likely to exhibit a more choppy market. Apply range or mean reversion strategies.
Spot Potential Breakouts:
Faded or darker cluster lines indicate areas of low market memory, where the price has moved quickly and spent less time.
Use these areas to identify possible trend setups, as they represent lower resistance to price movement.
⚪ Interpreting Candle Colors for Market Phases
Blue Candles (High Cluster Density):
When candles turn blue, it signals that the price has revisited this area multiple times, creating a dense cluster.
These zones often trap price movement, leading to consolidations or range phases.
Use these areas as caution zones, where price can slow down or reverse.
Green or Red Candles (Low Cluster Density):
Once the price breaks out of these clustered zones, the candles turn green (bullish) or red (bearish), indicating lower market memory.
This signals a trend initiation with less immediate resistance, ideal for momentum and breakout trades.
Use these signals to identify emerging trends and ride the momentum.
█ Settings

Harmony in Havoc - The Entropy of VoVix Harmony in Havoc – The Entropy of VoVix
There are moments in the market when chaos and order are not opposites, but partners in a dance.
Harmony in Havoc is not just an indicator—it’s a window into that dance.
Most tools try to tame the market by smoothing it, boxing it in, or chasing after what’s already happened. This script does the opposite: it listens for the music beneath the noise, the rare moments when volatility and unpredictability align, and the market’s next movement is about to begin.
What is Harmony in Havoc?
VoVix Spike:
The pulse of volatility-of-volatility. Not just how much the market is moving, but how violently its own heartbeat is changing.
Entropy:
A real-time measure of surprise. When entropy is high, the market is not just moving—it’s breaking its own patterns, rewriting its own rules.
Progression Bar & Status:
The yellow bar is your visual gauge of tension. As it fills, the market is winding up.
Wait: The world is calm.
Get ready!: The storm is building.
Take Action!!: The probability of a regime eruption is at its peak.
Yellow Background:
When the background glows, the market is at its most unstable—this is not a buy or sell signal, but a quant alert.
How does it work?
Every tick, Harmony in Havoc measures the distance between the market’s current volatility and its own unpredictability. When the VoVix spike approaches or exceeds the entropy threshold, the system knows:
“This is the moment when the improbable becomes possible.”
Why is this different?
It doesn’t tell you what to do.
It doesn’t chase price.
It doesn’t care about trends, bands, or the past.
Instead, it gives you a quantitative sense of anticipation—a way to see when the market is most likely to break from its own history, and when the edge is at its sharpest.
How to use it:
Watch for the yellow background and “Take Action!!” status.
Use it as a regime filter, a volatility dashboard, or a warning system for your own strategies.
Tune the inputs for your asset and timeframe—make it your own.
Inputs—explained for you:
VoVix Fast/Slow ATR & Stdev:
Control how sensitive the system is to volatility shocks. Lower = more signals, higher = only the rarest events.
Entropy Window & Bins:
Control how “surprised” the entropy engine is by current volatility. Shorter window = more responsive, more bins = finer detail.
Show/Hide Controls:
Toggle the VoVix spike, entropy line, and their glows to customize your visual experience.
Bottom line:
This is not a buy or sell script.
This is a quant regime detector for those who want to feel the market’s tension—to sense when harmony and havoc are about to collide.

Features:
Dynamic Sticky Lines:
The lines remain visually attached to the current candle, moving seamlessly as the chart updates, zooms, or pans.
Price Level Calculation:
Divides the candlestick into four distinct levels:
High Line (Red): Marks the highest point of the candle.
Low Line (Red): Marks the lowest point of the candle.
Midpoint Line (Blue): Marks the midpoint between high and low.
Upper Quarter Line (Green): Marks the 25% level between low and high.
Lower Quarter Line (Green): Marks the 75% level between low and high.
Real-Time Update:
The lines automatically adjust to the latest candle, maintaining accurate positioning.
Ideal for Candle Analysis:
Quickly identify key price levels and candle structure.
Suitable for analyzing trend strength and potential price reversals.
Cumulative Volume Delta with Divergence🧠 Core Functionality:
1. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD):
Purpose: Visualizes the difference between buying and selling pressure over time.
Mechanism:
It uses lower-timeframe volume delta data, retrieved from ta.requestVolumeDelta(), to build a candle-style visualization of the net volume movement.
Plotted candles show whether buying (up volume) or selling (down volume) was dominant within each period.
Teal candles: More buying than selling (CVD up).
Red candles: More selling than buying (CVD down).
Volume Source: Based on intrabar up/down volume approximation from lower timeframes.
🧭 Divergence Detection (New Feature):
2. Regular Bullish Divergence:
Condition:
Price makes a lower low.
CVD (lastVolume) makes a higher low.
Interpretation: Selling pressure is weakening despite price making new lows — a potential reversal signal to the upside.
Displayed As:
Green line and label "Bull" under the CVD at the divergence point.
3. Regular Bearish Divergence:
Condition:
Price makes a higher high.
CVD makes a lower high.
Interpretation: Buying pressure is fading despite price rising — a potential reversal signal to the downside.
Displayed As:
Red line and label "Bear" above the CVD at the divergence point.
🧰 User Controls:
Use custom timeframe: Overrides default volume delta resolution for finer or broader analysis.
Calculate Divergence: Turns the divergence detection on or off.
Adjustable via script inputs.
🔔 Alerts:
Two alert conditions are included:
One for bullish divergence.
One for bearish divergence.
Alerts trigger at the bar where the divergence is confirmed, not where it starts.
📈 Use Case:
This tool is ideal for traders looking to:
Spot early reversals or momentum shifts.
Combine volume analysis with price action.
Time entries or exits more accurately using volume-confirmed divergence.

Volume candle intraday 90% valid - with alertThe candle with the highest volume of the day and that creates a new daily high or low.
- Only usable on M15 timeframes;
- You can set a range of bars (from the beginning of the day) to ignore;
- "90% valid" means a candle with volume greater than 90% of the last candle with the highest volume of the day (in the script you can change the percentage of valid volumes to define the candle volume, replacing all the "90" with the desired percentage);
- Long volumes are compared to longs and short volumes are compared to shorts;
- Script created with ChatGpt;
The psychology behind this pattern is the following: on the daily high/low, a lot of volumes will enter in a short time, either by absorption: buyers or sellers enter en masse following the trend when it is too late; or by exhaustion: buyers or sellers who entered en masse and late have no more strength to continue pushing the price, they cause a volume peak to buy/sell as much as they could, then their enemies take over forming a high/low).
Happy trading everyone! :)
###################################################################################
La candela con il volume più alto della giornata e che crea un nuovo massimo o minimo giornaliero.
- Utilizzabile solo su timeframe M15;
- Si può impostare un range di barre(da inizio giornata) da ignorare;
- "90% valida" sta per candela con volume superiore del 90% dell'ultima candela con volume più alto della giornata(nello script si può cambiare percentuale di volumi validi per definire candela volume, sostituendo tutti i "90" con la percentuale desiderata);
- I volumi long vengono confrontati con i long e i volumi short con gli short;
- Script creato con ChatGpt;
La psicologia dietro questo pattern è la seguente: sul massimo/minimo giornaliero entreranno tanti volumi in breve tempo, sia per assorbimento: buyers o sellers entrano in massa seguendo il trend quando è troppo tardi; sia per esaurimento: buyers o sellers entrati in massa e in ritardo non hanno più forza per continuare a spingere il prezzo, causano un picco volumetrico per comprare/vendere più che potevano, quindi i loro nemici prendono il sopravvento formando un massimo/minimo).
Buon trading a tutti! :)
