Relative Volume 

Description

Volume can be a very useful tool if used correctly. Relative volume is designed to filter out the noise and highlight anomalies assisting traders in tracking institutional movements. This tool can be used to identify stop loss hunters and organized dumps. It uses a variety of moving averages to hide usual activity and features an LSMA line to show trend. Trend columns are shown to highlight activity and can be seen at bottom of the volume columns, this is done using ZLSMA and LSMA.

The above chart shows an example of 2 indicators being used on the 15 min chart. The bottom indicator is set to the 1 min chart. Traders can see a large dump on the 1 min chart as institutions wipe out any tight stop losses. Next they buy back in scooping up all those long positions.

This is an example layout using a split screen setup and multiple timeframes ranging from 1 min to 30 mins. This gives a clear indication of trends and make it easy to pickup on institutional behaviour. Tip: Double clicking indicator background will maximize RVOL to the split screen window.

Release Notes

Added option to display average volume. Previously this indicator just filtered out the noise. Now it also highlights anomalies. This extra plot gives traders many different options to present the data. Here are some examples:



By changing the style options for the volume columns traders can switch between column, histogram or step line. Removing the blue moving averages can clean the indicator or even remove everything but the anomalies. Adjusting transparency can also help hide the volume columns to give a more traditional look as seen in the 3rd example on top indicator. These anomaly columns are big movements in volume and tend to dictate the short term trend of price action.

Love this indicator but is there any more information on the trend bars and how to use them?

@SpinTrades, Hi, thanks for the coins. The trend bars are the difference between ZLSMA and LSMA lines. These columns highlight large momentums in volume which usually happen at the beginning of a trend/pivot or breakout. In the screenshot I have everything turned off except for trend columns, sma (blue) and lsma (white). Using these 2 lines and the trend columns traders can find key moments to enter and exit trades based on rapid increases in volume.
Also checkout my Volume Pressure Analysis indicator. Good luck!

@SYKZ01R, Hi sorry Ive been really busy lately and didn't get a chance to get back to you. Relative volume is all about finding anomalies. For example if everyday there is a volume of $1 million and then one day there is $70 million it usually reflects in price action. Traders can use this to jump in with the pump or dump.


If you see big red candles sticking out like this do not enter a long. When I see huge red volume candles I will enter a short with the institutions. Then when I see them buying back in at bottom I enter a long with them.

This indicator can be used on the 1 second chart for tracking whale activity such as dumps and stop loss hunting. For institutions to enter a long they must first go short to create the positions. This indicator does not display a rvol number but instead filters out all normal activity so you can see when things happen out of the ordinary. The first 2 google results explain rvol quite well: stockstotrade.com/relative-volume/ and warriortrading.com/relative-volume-day-trading-terminology/
Here are the first 3 google results for stop loss hunting: investopedia.com/terms/s/stophunting.asp and tradingwithrayner.com/stop-hunting/ and traders-paradise.com/magazine/2019/02/stop-losses-hunting/

Let me know if you need more info. Cheers.

@veryfid, Super thanks. This volume in $ where do you find daily volume from coinmarketcap or how can i see the daily current volume? and compare that volume of that day to other days? Or do i get you wrong. And when you see them buying back you mean the green candle after the big red one? Or what does give you confirmation to enter? :D
