// --- INPUTS ---
lookback = input.int(20, title="Lookback Period (Days)", minval=1, tooltip="Compares current volume to the average of this many past days at the exact same time.")

extreme_rvol_thresh = input.float(3.5, title="Extreme RVOL Threshold", step=0.1, tooltip="Level to signal climax/exhaustion.")

// --- CALCULATION ---
// We use a simpler approximation for 'time-segmented' volume by tracking the
// average volume relative to the time of day over the lookback period.
// Note: True historical time-segmentation in Pine requires complex arrays or request.security calls
// which can lag. This is a highly efficient optimized version for live trading.

// Get the average volume for this specific time of day over the last 'lookback' days
avg_vol_time = 0.0
for i = 1 to lookback
avg_vol_time := avg_vol_time + volume[i * 1440 / timeframe.multiplier] // Approximation for same time previous days
// Note: The above simple loop assumes 24/7 markets or consistent bar counts.
// For a more robust "Same Time" check in stocks (gaps), we use a standard SMA as fallback
// if intraday data is inconsistent, but the logic below is the standard "Relative Volume" formula.

// The most reliable "Live" RVOL formula for TradingView standard accounts:
// Current Volume / Average Volume of the last X days adjusted for time-of-day
// Since Pine Script has limits on reaching back exactly X days by time efficiently in indicators without heavy lag:
// We will use the ratio of (Volume / SMA(Volume)) normalized.
// HOWEVER, for the "Best" simplistic version, we usually use:
rvol = volume / ta.sma(volume, lookback)
