Volume

Volume Pressure Oscillator (VPO)🔹 Core Logic VPO Calculation: The indicator measures price momentum weighted by volume, smoothed by EMA, and normalized within a dynamic range to highlight relative pressure extremes. Signal Line: A secondary EMA of VPO acts as a signal baseline for crossovers and trend confirmation. Entry Triggers: Zero-line Crossovers: Momentum shifts from bearish to bullish (or vice versa). Signal Crossovers: Confirmation of sustained directional momentum. Filters: Volume Filter: Only trades when volume is above the moving average. VWAP Slope Filter: Ensures trades align with intraday institutional flow. Higher Timeframe VWAP: Confirms multi-timeframe directional bias. RSI Filter: Avoids overextended entries. Optional Divergence Confirmation: Adds precision in reversal environments.

Dollar Volume Ownership Gauge Dollar Volume Ownership Gauge (DVOG) By: Mando4_27 Version: 1.0 — Pine Script® v6 Overview The Dollar Volume Ownership Gauge (DVOG) is designed to measure the intensity of real money participation behind each price bar. Instead of tracking raw share volume, this tool converts every bar’s trading activity into dollar volume (price × volume) and highlights the transition points where institutional capital begins to take control of a move. DVOG’s mission is simple: Show when the crowd is trading vs. when the institutions are buying control. Core Concept Most retail traders focus on share count (volume) — but institutions think in dollar exposure. A small-cap printing a 1-million-share candle at $1 is very different from a 1-million-share candle at $10. DVOG normalizes this by displaying total traded dollar value per bar, then color-codes and alerts when the volume of money crosses key thresholds. This exposes the exact moments when ownership is shifting — often before major breakouts, reclaims, or exhaustion reversals. How It Works Dollar Volume Calculation Each candle’s dollar volume is computed as close × volume. Data is aggregated from the 5-minute timeframe regardless of your current chart, allowing consistent institutional-flow detection on any resolution. Threshold Logic Two customizable levels define interest zones: $500K Threshold → Early or moderate institutional attention. $1M Threshold → High-conviction or aggressive accumulation. Both levels can be edited to fit different market caps or trading styles. Bar Coloring Scheme Red = Dollar Volume ≥ $1,000,000 → Significant institutional activity / control bar. Green = Dollar Volume ≥ $500,000 and < $1,000,000 → Emerging accumulation / transition bar. Black = Below $500,000 → Retail or low-interest zone. (Colors are intentionally inverted from standard expectation: when volume intensity spikes, the bar turns hotter in tone.) Plot Display Histogram style plot displays 5-minute aggregated dollar volume per bar. Dotted reference lines mark $500K and $1M levels, with live right-hand labels for quick reading. Optional debug label shows current bar’s dollar value, closing price, and raw volume for transparency. Alerts & Conditions DVOG includes three alert triggers for hands-off monitoring: Alert Name Trigger Message Purpose Green Bar Alert – Dollar Volume ≥ $500K When dollar volume first crosses $500K “Institutional interest starting on ” Signals early money entering. Dollar Volume ≥ $500K Same as above, configurable “Early institutional interest detected…” Broad alert option. Dollar Volume ≥ $1M When dollar volume first crosses $1M “Significant money flow detected…” Indicates heavy institutional presence or ignition bar. You can enable or disable alerts via checkbox inputs, allowing you to monitor just the levels that fit your style. Interpretation & Use Cases Identify Institutional “Ignition” Points: Watch for sudden green or red DVOG bars after long low-volume consolidation — these often precede explosive continuation moves. Confirm Breakouts & Reclaims: If price reclaims a key level (HOD, neckline, or coil top) and DVOG flashes green/red, odds strongly favor follow-through. Spot Trap Exhaustion: After a flush or low-volume fade, the first strong green/red DVOG bar can mark the institutional reclaim — the moment retail control ends. Filter Noise: Ignore standard volume spikes. DVOG only reacts when dollar ownership materially changes hands, not when small traders churn shares. Customization Setting Default Description $500K Threshold 500,000 Lower limit for “Green” institutional attention. $1M Threshold 1,000,000 Upper limit for “Red” heavy institutional control. Show Alerts ✅ Enable or disable global alerts. Alert on Green Bars ✅ Toggle only the $500K crossover alerts. Adjust thresholds to match the liquidity of your preferred tickers — for example, micro-caps may use $100K/$300K, while large-caps might use $5M/$20M. Reading the Output Black baseline = Noise / retail chop. First Green bar = Smart money starts building position. Red bar(s) = Ownership shift confirmed — institutions active. Flat-to-rising pattern in DVOG = Sustained accumulation; often aligns with strong trend continuation. Summary DVOG transforms raw volume into actionable context — showing you when capital, not hype, is moving. It’s particularly effective for: Momentum and breakout traders Liquidity trap reclaims (Kuiper-style setups) Identifying early ignition bars before halts Confirming frontside strength in micro-caps Use DVOG as your ownership radar — the visual cue for when the market stops being retail and starts being real.

Full Currency Strength Table Dashboard (8 Currencies) # Full Currency Strength Table Dashboard (8 Currencies) 📊 This indicator provides a **simplified, visual representation of the current relative strengths of 8 major global currencies** (EUR, USD, GBP, JPY, AUD, NZD, CAD, CHF). It's designed as a minimalist dashboard that appears discreetly on your chart, giving traders a quick and clear picture of forex pair movements. The indicator calculates the relative strength of each currency based on its movement against the other 7 currencies in the panel, providing insight into which currencies are currently the strongest and which are the weakest. ## Key Features 🌟 * **Simplified Visualization:** Instead of showing currency strength as a line on the chart, which can often be distracting, the indicator uses a **data table (dashboard)** positioned on the chart. This ensures **maximum chart visibility** and cleanliness. * **8 Major Currencies:** All major currencies are included ($A$ - EUR, $B$ - USD, $C$ - GBP, $D$ - JPY, $E$ - AUD, $F$ - NZD, $G$ - CAD, $H$ - CHF), allowing strength calculation based on **28 base currency pairs**. * **Strength Calculation:** Strength is calculated based on the average percentage change $\left(\frac{\text{Close} - \text{Open}}{\text{Open}} \times 100\right)$ of the currency relative to all 7 other currencies. * **Timeframe Setting:** Users can select a **higher timeframe (TF)** (e.g., Daily - 'D') for the strength calculation. This allows analysis of longer-term currency strength momentum, independent of the chart's current timeframe. * **Customizable Design:** You can adjust the table's position, text size, the colour of each currency, and the resolution (length) of the strength meter. ## How to Use the Indicator (Interpretation) 💡 1. **Select a Timeframe (TF):** It's recommended to use a higher TF (e.g., Daily - 'D' or 4h - '240') to get more stable currency strength signals. 2. **The Dashboard Table:** The table displays: * The currency name (bottom, with its corresponding colour). * The numerical strength value (top, expressed in points or average change). * The **Strength Meter (bar)** visually represents the currency's relative strength compared to the other currencies on the panel (calculated based on the Min/Max values across all 8 currencies). 3. **Making Decisions:** * **Buy:** Look for a currency pair where the **Base Currency** is significantly **strong** (high positive value, long meter) and the **Quote Currency** is significantly **weak** (high negative value, short meter). * **Sell:** Look for a currency pair where the **Base Currency** is significantly **weak** and the **Quote Currency** is significantly **strong**. * **Avoid Trading:** Avoid pairs where both currencies have roughly the same strength or are close to zero. ## Note on Calculation and Code 🛠️ * **Base Pairs:** The script calculates 28 base currency pairs (e.g., EURUSD, EURGBP... CADCHF) using the `request.security` function to retrieve data from the selected timeframe (`freq`). * **Data Correction:** A correction was implemented in the code by adding ` ` after `request.security` to always use the **CLOSED bar values** from the higher TF. This **eliminates NaN (Not a Number) data** that would appear when using the current bar. * **Accumulation:** Accumulation (`sumA, sumB...`) only occurs when the selected higher TF changes (`timeframe.change(freq)`), effectively tracking the currency's relative strength during the formation of **one closed bar** on that higher TF. ### License This work is licensed under the **Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)** license. The original concept and code are based on the work of the **LuxAlgo** team and finalized to fix syntax errors and handle NaN data for stable use with 8 currencies. --- **Questions or suggestions?** I'd love to hear your feedback in the comments! Happy trading! 📈

CVD with Divergences and Alerts (Subwindow)This indicator calculates the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to visualize buying and selling pressure, and automatically detects regular and hidden divergences between price and volume flow. It also includes optional alerts for real-time trade signal generation. Core Logic: • Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD): Tracks the cumulative difference between buy and sell volume. Buy volume is defined as volume on bars where the close ≥ open; sell volume when close < open. This reveals whether real participation supports price direction or not. • Regular Divergences: • Bullish Divergence: Price makes a lower low while CVD forms a higher low → potential upward reversal. • Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high while CVD forms a lower high → potential downward reversal. • Hidden Divergences: • Hidden Bullish Divergence: Price pulls back to a lower low, but CVD shows strength with a higher high → possible continuation of an uptrend. • Hidden Bearish Divergence: Price makes a higher high, but CVD weakens → possible continuation of a downtrend. Features: • Adjustable lookback period (default: 500 bars). • Graphical visualization: • Plots the CVD as a blue line in a separate panel. • Marks divergences with green (bullish) and red (bearish) triangle shapes on the chart. • Draws divergence lines between price and CVD for easy visual identification. • Alerts: • Configurable alert types (“Buy Only”, “Sell Only”, “Buy and Sell”). • Sends alerts for all four divergence types (regular + hidden). Usage: Ideal for traders who want to detect shifts in volume momentum that precede price reversals or continuations. Works on all timeframes and instruments that provide volume data.

Position Size calculatorOverview This indicator automatically calculates the average candle body size (|open − close|) for the current trading day and derives a position size (quantity) based on your fixed risk per trade (default ₹1000). For example: If today’s average candle body = ₹3.50 and risk = ₹1000 → Quantity = 285 How It Works: The indicator calculates the absolute difference between open and close (the candle’s body) for every bar of the current day. It averages those body sizes to estimate the average daily volatility. Then it divides your chosen risk per trade by the average body size to estimate an appropriate quantity. It automatically resets at the start of each new day. Why Use It While risk size can be derived manually or using TradingView’s built-in Long/Short Position Tool, this indicator provides a faster, more practical alternative when you need to make quick trade decisions — especially in fast-moving intraday markets . It keeps you focused on execution rather than calculation. Tip You can still verify or fine-tune the quantity using the Long/Short Position Tool or a manual calculator, but this indicator helps you react instantly when opportunities appear.

SicariSicari What is it? Sicari is a trend-following trading system that identifies potential bullish or bearish trends. It blends EMA trend, OBV participation, and an Adaptive SuperTrend gate (machine-learning k-means over ATR bands) into a strict 2-of-3 confirmation model. By default, it uses a clean two-colour scheme: 🟢 green = long bias and 🔴 red = short bias. Optionally, a four-colour mode exposes hedge and early-risk conditions. Sicari works across all asset classes and timeframes (recommended: 15-minute to monthly). How it works * Auto mode adapts by timeframe: ≤60m uses a Hard-Gate where SuperTrend must confirm to flip; >60m uses Majority mode where OBV carries more weight for faster reversals * Voters are EMA, OBV, and Adaptive SuperTrend; a flip requires 2 of 3 agreement (Hard-Gate also needs ST) * Optional four-colour candles highlight hedge state when voters disagree. The hedge direction is OBV-led (↑ / ↓ tint), helping you trim risk or wait for full confirmation. * Multi-Timeframe Trend Bias panel (1H, 4H, 1D, 1W): left dot = live bias for that TF; Four dots on the right show = last four closed bars (newest on right). In 4-colour mode, the left/current dot follows 4-colour logic, history dots remain 2-colour for stability. Compact mode optionally shows only current dots per TF. What you can plot * Candles: two-colour by default (🟢 long / 🔴 short); optional 4-colour hedge mode (OBV-led ↑/↓ tint). * Triangles: mark long/short flips. * Multi-Timeframe Trend Bias panel: 1H / 4H / 1D / 1W * VWAPs: Session + Weekly VWAP for fair-value anchoring. * Moving Averages: Daily 20/50 (non-repainting) and Weekly 20/50/100 stair-step MAs for structure. * Dynamic ATR Stops: step-line long/short stop bands for risk control and stopped-out detection. * RSI Take-Profit markers: X-shaped markers on the chart TF (touch / re-entry logic) * 4H RSI Diamonds: non-repainting diamonds confirming on 4H close Combined Asset Volume (crypto-aware) * One toggle aggregates spot volume across major venues * Majors (BTC/ETH): Binance + Coinbase + Bitfinex + Kraken (USD/USDT/USDC) * Alts: Binance + Bybit + KuCoin + Coinbase (lean, USDT/USD) * CRYPTOCAP indexes, non-crypto or FX pairs automatically fall back to the chart’s own volume * OBV has a unit-volume fallback when volume data is missing Alerts (programmatic or traditional) * Programmatic (recommended): Create one alert → “Any alert() function call”. This single alert respects your chosen settings (asset, timeframe, 2/four-colour mode, RSI levels, chop/flip cooldown, stops on/off, etc.) and fires for all enabled conditions once-per-bar-close. Long/short signals trigger only at flips, not every bar. * Traditional: add specific alerts only for what you want (entries, exits, etc.) Alert list (fires on bar close) * 🚀🟢 LONG entry * 🔻🔴 SHORT entry * 🟡 HEDGE LONG (four-colour mode) * 🟠 HEDGE SHORT (four-colour mode) * 🎯 Take Profit Long (RSI-based) * 🎯 Take Profit Short (RSI-based) * 💥🔴 HTF Super SHORT (4H RSI diamond) * 🚀🟢 HTF Super LONG (4H RSI diamond) * 💀 Stopped Out of Short (dynamic ATR stop) * 💀 Stopped Out of Long (dynamic ATR stop) Programmatic alerts include tick-aware thousands separators and VWAP references on intraday charts for mobile readability Setup & tips * After adding Sicari: Click the three dots next to the script name → Visual order → Bring to front. This hides the original candles so Sicari’s candles are fully visible * Keep Auto mode ON; enable 4-colour only if you want hedge awareness; toggle VWAPs and MAs as structure guides * Works on crypto, indices, FX and equities - any symbol, ny timeframe * Use standard candles (not Heikin Ashi) * Colours optimised for dark backgrounds Sicari distills trend, participation, and structure into one adaptive stream - delivering institutional-grade precision, clarity, and timing within the Sicari ecosystem.

Volume Imbalances & Gann's Square IndicatorVolume Imbalances & Gann's Square Indicator: This script is a comprehensive trading toolkit designed to help intraday and swing traders identify high-probability trade setups by combining the strengths of Gann's Theory, price-volume analysis, and multi-indicator signal confirmation in one indicator. Key Features and Their Roles: Gann’s S/R Levels: Calculates main and auxiliary support/resistance lines using Gann’s “odd square” approach based on the current price. Levels are projected historically and into the future to clearly visualize critical zones for potential reversals and breakouts. Volume*Price (VP) Spike Table: Detects and displays real-time buy and sell volume spikes above a configurable threshold, highlighting large market transactions. The on-chart table summarizes recent major spikes with time and price for context, resetting every session. Multi-EMA & VWAP Logic: Integrates three customizable EMAs, VWAP, and Supertrend. Users can toggle signals from EMA crossovers, price-VWAP positioning, or Supertrend direction to match their preferred trading style and filter signals for trend or mean-reversion strategies. Buy/Sell Labels and Signal Source Control: Clearly plots buy/sell marker labels with customizable text, color, and size, based on the chosen signal source (EMA cross, VWAP, Supertrend). Labels offset from candles for easy visibility. First Candle Range & Session Tools: Plots the initial range (high, low, and midpoint) of a user-defined session, helping visualize and trade session breakouts or range retests. Session logic ensures all statistical tables and levels reset at session start. Automated Risk/Reward Table: Instantly calculates capital allocation, stop-loss, potential quantity, and two profit targets for both long and short trades. Helps traders plan size and risk per trade in compliance with risk management principles. Highest/Lowest VP Markers: Highlights the day’s peak and trough volume*price values for context on institutional buying or selling pressure. Previous Day Range Plotter: Draws previous session’s high/low levels for reliable reference zones and potential trade targets. Integration Rationale: All components are thoughtfully integrated to provide a holistic decision-making workflow: Volume/price spikes act as momentum or liquidity signals. Gann levels define the “where” for reaction or breakout trades. Signal logics (EMA/VWAP/Supertrend) answer the “when,” enabling higher-confidence entries only when multiple conditions align. How to Use: Select your preferred inputs for EMAs, VWAP, and risk settings in the panel. Analyze the chart for signals where buy/sell labels align with fresh VP spikes near Gann or previous day support/resistance. Use the risk/reward table for strict money management. Reference spike tables and session range for contextual confirmation. Visuals and Chart Guidance: The script displays only essential tables, lines, and labels described above. All chart elements are explained in this description—no external scripts needed for interpretation. Each table and marker is linked to actionable trading logic, eliminating clutter. Closed-source Explanation: The indicator uses session-based calculations, real-time data arrays, and proprietary math to unify Gann theory logic, large transaction detection, and multi-indicator confirmation. All major trade conditions have alert signals for ready integration with TradingView’s alert system.

High Volume Arrow Signals (Ajustável)The High Volume Arrow Signals (Adjustable) indicator is a professional technical analysis tool designed to clearly pinpoint moments when trading volume significantly exceeds its recent average, signaling potential institutional pressure, strong conviction, or market exhaustion. Its primary function is to overlay confirmation signals directly onto the price bars without altering the original candle colors. Strategic Application This indicator is most effective when used as a confluence tool to confirm moves initiated by price action or other indicators: Breakout Confirmation: An arrow plotted during a price range breakout suggests the move has genuine volume conviction. Reversal Identification: A Buy arrow appearing at a key support level (or a Sell arrow at resistance) indicates strong volume rejection and a potential turning point. The adjustable multiplier ensures users can fine-tune the indicator to the specific volatility and volume characteristics of assets like BTC and ETH across different timeframes.

Squeeze Momentum MACDSqueeze Momentum MACD 🧠 Description Squeeze Momentum MACD combines the concept of market volatility compression (the “squeeze”) from Bollinger Bands (BB) and Keltner Channels (KC) with a MACD-style momentum oscillator to reveal potential breakout phases. The indicator first calculates: BB Width = Upper Band − Lower Band KC Width = Upper Band − Lower Band Then it computes their difference: Δ = BB Width − KC Width When Δ > 0 → BB width is greater than KC width → volatility is expanding → potential momentum breakout. When Δ < 0 → BB is inside KC → volatility is compressing → potential squeeze phase before expansion. This Δ value is then processed through a MACD-style calculation: MACD Line = EMA(fast) − EMA(slow) Signal Line = EMA(MACD, signal length) Histogram = MACD − Signal The result is a visual momentum oscillator that behaves like MACD but measures volatility expansion instead of price direction. 🔹 Features: Dynamic 4-color MACD & Signal lines (positive/negative + rising/falling) Optional display of raw BB & KC widths Fully adjustable parameters for BB, KC, and MACD Works on all timeframes and instruments 🔹 Ideal For: Detecting market squeezes and breakout momentum Timing entries before volatility expansion Integrating volatility and momentum into a single framework

Volume Biased CandlesVolume Biased Candles This indicator visualizes the underlying volume polarity of price action by coloring candles based on directional volume bias over a rolling bucket of bars. Instead of reading price alone, each candle reflects whether buying or selling pressure has dominated within its recent volume structure — giving a more intuitive picture of volume sentiment beneath price movement. 🔹 How it works Bucket Size (n) → defines how many candles are aggregated to evaluate directional volume bias For each bucket, total up-volume and down-volume are compared to determine overall market pressure Volume Bias Score → a continuous ratio from -1 to +1, representing the relative dominance of buyers or sellers Candles are colored according to the active bias — green for positive (buying), red for negative (selling) 🔹 Use cases Visualize shifts in market control without needing divergence overlays Combine with delta divergence or price structure tools to validate entries and exits Simplify volume and price insights into an intuitive, single-chart visualization ✨ Volume Biased Candles transforms standard candles into a live sentiment gauge, revealing whether the dominant flow behind price movement is bullish or bearish.

AlphaFlow - Trend DetectorOVERVIEW AlphaFlow identifies and tracks large volume moves by combining volume analysis, price impact measurement, and conviction scoring to separate significant institutional moves from normal trading activity. Rather than just flagging high volume, this indicator evaluates whether large trades actually moved the market and assigns conviction levels based on multiple confirmation factors. WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL This is not simply a volume indicator or volume-weighted price tracker. The originality lies in the multi-factor conviction scoring system that evaluates whether large volume moves represent genuine institutional conviction or just noise. Key Differentiators: - Combines volume ratio AND price impact (volume alone doesn't mean conviction) - Conviction scoring system that weighs trend alignment, follow-through, and volume persistence - Cumulative flow tracking that shows persistent directional pressure over time - Market regime detection (bullish/bearish/sideways) based on flow dynamics - Tiered signal system (EXTREME/HIGH/MEDIUM conviction) rather than binary signals This approach solves the problem of volume spikes that don't lead to meaningful price action, or price moves on low volume that don't persist. HOW IT WORKS 1. Whale Detection Engine: Volume Qualification: Compares current volume to a rolling average (default 50 bars). Whale activity requires volume to be at least 1.5x the average (adjustable). Price Impact Requirement: Volume alone isn't enough. The bar must also show significant price movement (default 0.1% minimum). This filters out high-volume consolidation where no one is actually committed to direction. Direction Identification: Bullish whale = close > open on high volume. Bearish whale = close < open on high volume. 2. Conviction Scoring System: The indicator doesn't just flag whale activity - it evaluates conviction through multiple factors: Base Conviction: Calculated from (volume_ratio × price_impact) / 10 This gives higher scores to moves with both exceptional volume AND large price swings. Trend Alignment Bonus (1.5x multiplier): Whale moves aligned with the 20-period EMA trend receive higher conviction scores. Institutional money tends to accumulate with the trend, not against it. Follow-Through Bonus (1.3x multiplier): After whale activity, does price continue in that direction over the next bars (default 3)? Genuine conviction shows persistence. Volume Persistence (1.2x multiplier): Is elevated volume sustained over multiple bars, or is it a one-time spike? The 3-bar average volume ratio above 1.5x indicates sustained interest. Conviction Levels: - EXTREME: Score > 15 (large whale emoji labels, highest confidence) - HIGH: Score > 8 (triangle signals, strong confidence) - MEDIUM: Score > 3 (small triangles, moderate confidence) - LOW: Score < 3 (not plotted to reduce noise) 3. Cumulative Flow Analysis: Rather than treating each whale move in isolation, the indicator tracks cumulative flow using an EMA of whale activity. This reveals persistent directional pressure. Flow Calculation: Each whale bar contributes (whale_strength × direction) to the flow. Strength is volume_ratio × price_impact_percent. Flow Momentum: Rate of change in the cumulative flow (5-bar change) Flow Acceleration: Second derivative (3-bar change of momentum) These metrics reveal whether whale activity is accelerating, decelerating, or reversing. 4. Market Regime Detection: Bullish Regime: Cumulative flow > 2 AND momentum positive Bearish Regime: Cumulative flow < -2 AND momentum negative Sideways Regime: Neither condition met The background color reflects the current regime, helping traders understand the broader context. 5. Flow Strength Meter: The main plot normalizes cumulative flow to a -100 to +100 scale based on the 100-bar range. This provides a consistent visual reference regardless of the asset or timeframe. Extreme levels at ±50 indicate particularly strong directional flow where reversals or consolidation become more likely. HOW TO USE IT Settings Configuration: Whale Detection Section: - Volume Average Period (default 50): Shorter periods make detection more sensitive to recent volume changes. Longer periods require more exceptional volume to trigger. - Whale Volume Multiplier (default 1.5): How much above average volume must be to qualify. Lower = more signals. Higher = only extreme moves. - Minimum Price Impact (default 0.1%): Filters out high-volume bars that didn't actually move price. Adjust based on asset volatility. Trend Analysis: - Trend Strength Period (default 20): EMA period for trend alignment bonus - Confirmation Bars (default 3): How many bars to check for follow-through Visual Settings: - Flow Strength Meter: Main plot showing normalized cumulative flow - Conviction Labels: Detailed labels showing volume ratio and price impact on extreme/high conviction whales - Trend Background: Color-coded regime indication Signal Interpretation: EXTREME Conviction (Whale Emoji Labels): These are the highest confidence signals. Large volume with significant price impact, aligned with trend, showing follow-through. These often mark the beginning or continuation of strong moves. HIGH Conviction (Large Triangles): Strong signals meeting most criteria. Good for main entries or adding to positions. MEDIUM Conviction (Small Triangles): Whale activity present but with fewer confirmation factors. Use for partial positions or require additional confirmation. Flow Strength Meter: - Above zero and rising: Bullish flow building - Below zero and falling: Bearish flow building - Approaching ±50: Extreme readings, watch for exhaustion - Crossing zero: Flow regime change Dashboard Information: The top-right table shows: - Current regime (bullish/bearish/sideways) - Flow strength value - Last whale direction - Conviction level of last whale - Current volume ratio - Flow momentum direction - Indicator status Trading Strategies: Trend Following: Take EXTREME and HIGH conviction signals aligned with the flow meter direction. Enter when flow is positive and rising for bullish whales, negative and falling for bearish whales. Regime-Based: Only trade in bullish/bearish regimes (colored backgrounds). Avoid trading in sideways regimes where whale moves tend to reverse quickly. Flow Reversals: When flow meter crosses zero with EXTREME conviction whale in the new direction, this often marks regime changes. Exhaustion Plays: When flow reaches ±50 extreme levels, watch for EXTREME conviction whales in the opposite direction as potential reversal signals. TECHNICAL DETAILS Volume Ratio = Current Volume / SMA(Volume, Period) Price Impact % = ABS(Close - Open) / Open × 100 Whale Detected = (Volume Ratio >= Multiplier) AND (Price Impact >= Minimum) Whale Direction = Close > Open ? 1 : -1 Base Conviction = (Volume Ratio × Price Impact %) / 10 Trend Alignment = Whale Direction == Trend Direction ? 1.5 : 1.0 Follow-Through = Price continues whale direction over N bars ? 1.3 : 1.0 Volume Persistence = SMA(Volume Ratio, 3) > 1.5 ? 1.2 : 1.0 Final Conviction = Base × Trend Alignment × Follow-Through × Volume Persistence Whale Flow = Whale Detected ? (Volume Ratio × Price Impact × Direction) : 0 Cumulative Flow = EMA(Whale Flow, 20) Flow Momentum = Change(Cumulative Flow, 5) Flow Acceleration = Change(Momentum, 3) Normalized Flow Strength = (Cumulative Flow / Highest(ABS(Cumulative Flow), 100)) × 100 WHAT THIS SOLVES Common Volume Indicator Problems: - Volume spikes that don't move price (consolidation noise) - Price moves on low volume that quickly reverse - No differentiation between strong and weak volume signals - Treating all high-volume bars equally regardless of context - No measure of whether volume represents conviction or panic Whale Flow Solutions: - Requires both volume AND price impact for signals - Conviction scoring separates strong moves from weak ones - Cumulative flow shows persistent pressure vs isolated spikes - Trend alignment and follow-through filter low-quality signals - Tiered system lets traders choose their confidence threshold LIMITATIONS - Cannot identify individual whales or attribute volume to specific entities - High volume can come from many sources (whales, retail panic, algo activity) - Works best on liquid assets with consistent volume patterns - Less reliable on low-volume assets or during market closures - Conviction scoring thresholds may need adjustment per asset/timeframe - Does not predict future whale activity, only identifies it after bars close - Flow can remain at extremes longer than expected during strong trends - False signals can occur during news events or earnings - Not a standalone trading system - requires risk management and other analysis Best used in combination with price action, support/resistance, and broader market context. EDUCATIONAL VALUE For traders learning about: - Volume analysis beyond simple volume indicators - Multi-factor signal confirmation systems - Market regime and flow concepts - Conviction-based scoring methodologies - Cumulative indicator design - Normalized plotting for cross-asset comparison - Pine Script table and dashboard creation Not financial advice.

You MUST check Open Interest: Rising OI + High LSR (>1.5) = New longs opening → Strong momentum OR potential trap Rising OI + Low LSR (<0.5) = New shorts opening → Strong momentum OR potential trap Falling OI + Extreme LSR = Positions closing → Weak signal, avoid trading Stable OI + Extreme LSR = No new positions → Less reliable signal 💡 Trading Interpretation ⚠️ ALWAYS combine LSR with Open Interest analysis! Contrarian Strategy (High Leverage Zones): High LSR (>1.5) + Rising OI → Many new longs → Potential short squeeze OR reversal down Low LSR (<0.5) + Rising OI → Many new shorts → Potential long squeeze OR reversal up Trend Confirmation: Rising LSR + Rising price + Rising OI = Strong bullish trend with new positions Falling LSR + Falling price + Rising OI = Strong bearish trend with new positions Weak Signals (Avoid): Extreme LSR + Falling OI = Positions closing → Low conviction Extreme LSR + Stable OI = No new money → Wait for confirmation Divergences: Price higher highs but LSR falling + Rising OI = Bearish divergence (shorts accumulating) Price lower lows but LSR rising + Rising OI = Bullish divergence (longs accumulating) Best Setups: Reversal: Extreme LSR (>1.5 or <0.5) + Rising OI + Price rejection Trend: LSR trending with price + Steadily rising OI Caution: Extreme LSR + Falling OI = Ignore signal Built-in Alerts The indicator includes 4 preset alerts: LSR Crossed Above 1.0 - Market turned bullish LSR Crossed Below 1.0 - Market turned bearish LSR Very High - Above 1.5 (possible top) LSR Very Low - Below 0.5 (possible bottom) To Set Up Alerts: Click the "..." on the indicator Select "Add Alert" Choose the condition you want Configure notification method Best Practices MANDATORY: Always add Open Interest indicator to your chart alongside LSR To add OI: Click Indicators → Search "Open Interest" → Add official TradingView OI Use on perpetual futures charts (symbols ending in .P) Works best on USDT pairs (BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, etc.) Combine LSR + OI + price action + support/resistance levels Higher timeframes (4h, 1D) give more reliable signals Don't trade LSR extremes without confirming OI direction Golden Rule: Rising OI = Strong signal | Falling OI = Weak signal ⚠️ Important Notes Indicator requires TradingView Premium or above (uses Request library) Only works on crypto perpetual futures Data availability depends on exchange API NA values mean data is not available for that exchange/symbol Never use LSR without Open Interest context

Delta Volume ReversalThis script displays Delta Volume-based reversal arrows by analyzing buying vs. selling volume from a lower timeframe. An up arrow appears when a red candle closes with dominant buying volume (bullish delta), while a down arrow appears on green candles with dominant selling volume (bearish delta). This highlights potential hidden strength or weakness in price action. Credits: Original from Delta Volume by SiddWolf — adapted and enhanced with reversal arrow visualization.
