Updated Stacked Bullish vs Bearish Volume

This indicator visually represents buying (bullish) and selling (bearish) pressure within each candle by stacking both portions inside a single volume bar. Unlike traditional volume indicators that use only one color per bar, this script splits each volume bar into two segments:
Green portion (Bullish Volume) → Represents the buying pressure when the price moves up.
Red portion (Bearish Volume) → Represents the selling pressure when the price moves down.
By stacking buy and sell volume inside the same column, traders can easily assess the balance of buying vs selling activity within each trading session.
Stacking the Bars:
The bullish portion (green) is plotted first.
The bearish portion (red) is plotted slightly offset to create a stacked effect.
Green portion (Bullish Volume) → Represents the buying pressure when the price moves up.
Red portion (Bearish Volume) → Represents the selling pressure when the price moves down.
By stacking buy and sell volume inside the same column, traders can easily assess the balance of buying vs selling activity within each trading session.
Stacking the Bars:
The bullish portion (green) is plotted first.
The bearish portion (red) is plotted slightly offset to create a stacked effect.
