Liquidity Radar by DGTLiquidity Radar is an advanced indicator designed to uncover and visualize critical liquidity zones on the price chart. These zones mark areas where stop orders and limit orders are densely concentrated—price levels where large-scale liquidation events are more likely to occur. Such areas are often targeted by institutional players to spark volatility or to optimize trade execution. The indicator dynamically draws horizontal levels that reflect real-time liquidity buildup based on volume and price activity. When multiple liquidation levels cluster near the same price, overlapping lines highlight zones of elevated liquidity—helping traders identify potential hotspots for price reactions, reversals, or volatility spikes. KEY FEATURES ⯌ Magnet Zones Clusters of liquidation levels may act as magnets for price, pulling market movement toward them. Traders often use these zones to forecast directional bias and identify high-probability setups. ⯌ Support/Resistance Zones Densely packed liquidity often behaves as dynamic support or resistance. These zones can provide major players with optimal entry or exit points, potentially leading to sharp reactions or market reversals. ⯌ Rapid Move Zones Areas with sparse liquidity levels often experience faster price movement, as fewer resting orders are available to absorb aggressive taker orders. These zones can lead to quick price sweeps and momentum surges. INSIGHTS What Happens After Price Reaches a High Liquidity Zone? Liquidity is "Grabbed" These zones are typically filled with stop-losses or resting orders. When price reaches them, large volumes are executed — often suddenly. This is known as a liquidity grab or stop hunt . Increased Volatility The execution of clustered orders often triggers bursts of volatility. This can result in large wicks, rapid price movements, or deceptive “fakeouts” around the zone. Price Reaction Scenarios Stall or Consolidation : After liquidity is grabbed, price may pause or range, especially if market participants are indecisive. Reversal : If the liquidity grab flushes out weak hands, price may reverse sharply — often where institutional players are already positioned in the opposite direction. Continuation : Sometimes, the zone acts as a launchpad — price consumes the liquidity and continues strongly in the same direction. What Happens When Price Is Between Liquidity Zones? Faster Price Moves In areas with fewer clustered liquidity levels, price often moves quicker due to fewer resting orders absorbing aggressive taker orders, enabling market orders to push price rapidly through these zones. Higher Probability of Market (Taker) Orders Sparse liquidity encourages taker orders, which “take” liquidity instantly, causing sharp and sometimes unpredictable price swings. Reduced Support or Resistance The lack of dense liquidity means fewer natural price barriers, allowing price to sweep through these zones with less friction until it nears the next liquidity cluster. Increased Volatility and Potential Whipsaws Rapid movement in low liquidity zones can trigger stop losses or cause fakeouts, resulting in sudden volatility and quick reversals. Opportunity for Breakouts or Trend Acceleration Price breaking from a liquidity zone into a sparse area may gain momentum quickly, leading to strong directional moves or trend continuation. Liquidity zones aren’t just price targets — they’re high-stakes decision points. Once tapped, they often serve as temporary barriers where price may reverse, stall, or continue, depending on the prevailing order flow and participant intent. In leveraged markets, liquidations play a crucial role in shaping price behavior and positioning. The Liquidity Levels indicator helps traders spot where these impactful moments are most likely to occur — enhancing both strategic edge and decision-making confidence. LIMITATIONS Due to a technical limitation in Pine Script, a maximum of 500 horizontal levels can be drawn. As a result, some historical liquidity levels from earlier bars may not appear on the chart.

Orderblock Footprints [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW This script highlights orderblocks and then drills into what actually trades inside them. Zones are created only after an abnormal directional impulse, measured with a z-score on consecutive candle bodies, so the orderblocks are tied to real expansion rather than simple pivots. Once a zone exists, the script overlays lower-timeframe volume footprints inside the candle when price trades back into that zone. The goal is to show not just where an orderblock sits, but whether price is being accepted or absorbed when it is revisited. 🟠 CONCEPTS Orderblocks are detected after extreme bullish or bearish impulses. The script tracks consecutive body movement up or down, normalizes that distance with a rolling z-score, and only triggers when the move is statistically large. The last opposite candle before that impulse defines the orderblock range. These zones then extend forward until they are either mitigated by price closing through them or they expire by age. Inside an active zone, the script switches to a lower timeframe and builds a footprint-style profile for each bar. Each candle is split into price rows, counting time-at-price and volume delta. Positive and negative delta are colored separately. Absorption is flagged when opposing delta prints appear in the wick that rejects the zone. In practice: the impulse defines context ; the footprint shows interaction . 🟠 FEATURES Separate bullish and bearish zones with automatic extension Volume split inside each zone candle (up vs down volume) Lower-timeframe footprint with TPO-style rows and delta gradient Absorption detection using opposing delta in rejection wicks Alerts for zone creation and absorption events 🟠 USAGE Setup : Add the script to your chart. It works on any market and timeframe. The lower timeframe for footprints is fixed at 5 minutes, so higher chart timeframes show clearer structure. Use the Z-Score Window to control how strict impulse detection is and Max Box Age to limit how long old zones stay on the chart. Read the chart : Bullish orderblocks are created after strong upward impulses and are invalidated when price closes below them. Bearish orderblocks are created after strong downward impulses and are invalidated when price closes above them. When price trades inside a zone, footprint rows appear. Green-tinted rows show positive delta; red-tinted rows show negative delta. Absorption labels appear when opposing delta prints into a rejecting wick. Settings that matter : Increasing the Z-Score Window makes orderblocks rarer but more significant. Disabling Prevent Overlap allows stacked zones if you want to study clustering. Adjusting Rows per bar changes footprint resolution—lower values are cleaner, higher values show more detail but use more objects.

Combined Signal + Auto Day Plan + Volume📘 TradingView Description — Combined Signal + Auto Day Plan + Volume Strategy Overview This strategy combines trend-following signals, daily context levels, and volume confirmation to generate high-probability intraday trading setups. It is designed to filter noise, identify trend direction early, and avoid trades during low-quality market conditions. 🔷 1. Combined Signal Logic The strategy merges multiple indicators to produce a single, cleaner signal: Long Signal Trend bias is bullish Momentum histogram (MACD/Custom) shows upward pressure Price crosses above the midline (WMA/EMA/etc.) Volume supports the move Short Signal Trend bias is bearish Momentum histogram shows downward pressure Price crosses below the midline Volume supports the move This reduces false breakouts and ensures signals appear only during strong directional moves. 🔶 2. Auto Day Plan Levels (D-1 → D) The script automatically reads previous day levels and displays them on today’s session: Previous Day High (PDH) Previous Day Low (PDL) Previous Day Close (PDC) Previous Day Mid / Range Zones Optional FIB levels or custom zones These levels act as intraday support/resistance, helping identify breakout, reversal, and retest opportunities. Behavior: D-1 levels are plotted from today’s open until today’s close. Levels do not overlap into the wrong day. Optional: extend lines to next day (D+1) for planning. 🔷 3. Volume Confirmation To improve entry accuracy, the script checks for strength in volume: Volume > X-period average Volume spike detection Relative Volume (RVOL) filter Optional low-volume avoidance A trade is taken only when the market shows real participation, reducing traps and sideways chop trades. 🔶 4. Entry & Exit Logic Entry Long Entry: Combined bull signal + volume confirmation Short Entry: Combined bear signal + volume confirmation Exit Long Exit → Histogram turns down (hist < hist ) Short Exit → Histogram turns up (hist > hist ) Optional: Auto SL at PDL/PDH Trailing based on midline Take profit using FIB or volatility levels 💠 5. Visuals The chart plots: Buy/Sell markers D-1 support/resistance lines Trend direction midline Volume confirmation label Combined signal status Colors and styles can be customized from the input panel. 🎯 6. Purpose of the Strategy This is a complete intraday automation tool combining: ✔ Trend ✔ Momentum ✔ Volume strength ✔ Key day levels The goal is to provide structured, mechanical, rule-based trading — reducing emotional decisions and improving consistency.

NeoChartLabs POCOne of our Favorite Indicators - the High Time Frame Point of Control with a Volume Profile. Shout out to p2pasta for the original script, we updated to v6. Currently included: Monthly, 3 months and 6 months. /* DEFINITION */ Point Of Control (= POC) is a price level at which the heaviest volumes were traded. Value Area High/Low (=VAH/VAL) is a range of prices where the majority of trading volume took place. Naturally, Value Area High being the top price level and Value Area Low being the lowest. POC always is between the two. /* HOW TO TRADE WITH THIS INDICATOR */ The basis for POC is determining bias on whichever timeframe you choose. 1. Identify a POC on the timeframe of your choosing. /* If you choose a "low" timeframe (monthly here) then make sure to look at the higher timeframes to see how it is playing against a higher timeframe POC. 2. When the price is moving away from the POC (either to the upside or downside) this will confirm or invalidate the trade. 3. You can now enter the trade on bias or wait for a retest of the same POC.

Footprint Imbalance Reversal ZonesThe script detects blowouts and displays buy and sell volume as levels. Green lines = bullish zones (potential support / buying pressure) Red lines = bearish zones (potential resistance / selling pressure) --------------- Trade ideas: --------------- Price approaching a green zone → potential bounce/support. Price approaching a red zone → potential rejection/resistance. Combine with other indicators or price action for confirmation. ----------------- Configuration ----------------- Inputs: Imbalance Threshold (%) → higher = only very strong imbalances trigger zones Bars to form cluster → number of consecutive imbalance bars needed Zone Extend Bars → how far each zone line extends into the future Minimum bar volume → ignore low-volume bars for cleaner zones Use tick-rule volume estimate → leave true if no real bid/ask data Max saved zones → max number of zones stored (oldest removed if exceeded) ------ Tips ------ Best used on intraday or short-term charts where volume imbalances are meaningful. Adjust Minimum bar volume to filter out low-volume noise. Combine with candlestick patterns, RSI, or moving averages for higher-probability trades. For long-term charts, consider increasing Bars to form cluster to capture stronger levels. Combine with price action, candlestick patterns, or other indicators for better trade signals.

Order Block Finder [MHA Finverse]Order Block Finder is a sophisticated Smart Money Concepts (SMC) tool designed to identify and visualize institutional order blocks on your charts. This indicator helps traders spot key areas where smart money has placed their orders, providing valuable insights for potential support and resistance zones. What are Order Blocks? Order blocks are price zones where institutional traders have placed significant orders. This indicator identifies these zones by detecting pivot points in price action and tracking structural breaks in both internal (short-term) and swing (long-term) timeframes. Key Features: • Dual Structure Analysis - Internal Order Blocks: Fast-moving blocks based on 5-bar pivots for short-term trading - Swing Order Blocks: Slower blocks based on 50-bar pivots for position trading - Display up to 20 order blocks per type • Volume Metrics Each order block displays two important metrics: - Volume value: The total volume of the candle that formed the order block - Percentage: Relative volume compared to all visible order blocks (always totals 100%) Higher percentages indicate stronger institutional activity and more significant zones • Smart Filtering System - ATR Filter: Filters out high-volatility candles (>2x ATR) to focus on genuine order blocks - CMR Filter: Uses Cumulative Mean Range for adaptive filtering across different market conditions • Flexible Mitigation Options Choose how order blocks are considered broken: - High/Low: Order block breaks when price touches its boundary - Close: Order block breaks only when candle closes through it • Visual Customization - Colored or Monochrome themes - Adjustable text size for volume metrics - Customizable colors for bullish and bearish blocks - Historical or Present mode for clean chart analysis • Built-in Alert System - Real-time alerts when order blocks are mitigated - Individual toggles for each alert type - Clear emoji indicators (🔵 Bullish, 🔴 Bearish) - Compatible with TradingView's alert system How It Works: The indicator identifies order blocks by: 1. Detecting pivot highs and lows in price structure 2. Monitoring when price crosses these pivots (structure breaks) 3. Finding the highest/lowest volatility-filtered candle in the pivot zone 4. Marking this candle as an order block with its volume data 5. Removing blocks when the price mitigates them Order blocks with higher volume percentages represent stronger institutional interest and are typically more reliable for trading decisions. Best Practices: - Use Internal OBs for day trading and scalping - Use Swing OBs for swing trading and position entries - Pay attention to blocks with higher volume percentages - Combine with other SMC concepts for confirmation Perfect for traders who follow Smart Money Concepts, ICT methodology, and institutional trading analysis.

Will defend positions or add to winners. 🟥 Trapped Buyers at Loss - Bought higher, currently losing. Must exit at breakeven, creating resistance. 📍 BELOW CURRENT PRICE (Support Zones) 🟢 Aggressive Buyers in Profit - Bought lower, currently winning. Will defend positions or add to winners. 🟩 Trapped Sellers at Loss - Sold lower, currently losing. Must cover at breakeven, creating support. ⚡ MAXIMUM CONFLUENCE ZONES When Dominant (Profitable) and Trapped (Loss) positions align at the same level, you get the strongest support/resistance zones: 🟧 Orange Boxes (Above Price) = Aggressive Sellers + Trapped Buyers = STRONGEST RESISTANCE 🟨 Yellow Boxes (Below Price) = Aggressive Buyers + Trapped Sellers = STRONGEST SUPPORT ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📊 VOLUME ANALYSIS COLUMNS ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 1️⃣ VPD Column (Volume Point Delta) Net aggressive pressure at each price level (Buying Volume -

Blue Line - Top of the 70% volume acceptance zone - Price at VAH often rejects downward (resistance) - Alert triggers when price approaches VAL (Value Area Low) - Red Line - Bottom of the 70% volume acceptance zone - Price at VAL often bounces upward (support) - Alert triggers when price approaches Trading Applications: - Price outside Value Area → Mean reversion opportunity - Price breaks VA with volume → Trend continuation - Price oscillates within VA → Range-bound, fade extremes - Previous session VA lines show carryover levels ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 📋 EXPECTED PRICE BEHAVIOR AT KEY LEVELS ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚠️ IMPORTANT: These are observed behavioral patterns for educational purposes and backtesting research. Always validate with 250-500+ backtest trades before risking capital. 1️⃣ POC BOX ZONES (Highest Statistical Relevance) 🟨 Yellow Boxes (Below Current Price - SUPPORT) Expected Behavior: - Price approaching from above typically encounters buying pressure - Both profitable institutional buyers and trapped short sellers create demand - Common reaction: Price slows, consolidates, or bounces - Failed bounces often lead to rapid breakdown (trapped buyers capitulate) What Often Happens: - Initial dip into zone → Weak bounce attempt - Second test → Stronger bounce (trapped sellers covering + buyers defending) - Break below → Quick acceleration as both groups exit 🟧 Orange Boxes (Above Current Price - RESISTANCE) Expected Behavior: - Price rallying into zone typically encounters selling pressure - Both profitable institutional sellers and trapped long buyers create supply - Common reaction: Price stalls, consolidates, or rejects What Often Happens: - Initial push into zone → Weak rejection - Second test → Stronger rejection (trapped buyers exiting + sellers defending) - Break above → Quick acceleration as resistance becomes support 2️⃣ FAILED AUCTION ZONES "SELLERS TRAPPED" Labels (Below Price): - High-volume selling that immediately reversed = maximum trapped shorts - When price returns, trapped sellers face pressure to cover - Typical pattern: Price approaches → Initial hesitation → Sharp bounce "BUYERS TRAPPED" Labels (Above Price): - High-volume buying that immediately failed = maximum trapped longs - Price returning forces trapped buyers to exit at breakeven - Typical pattern: Price approaches → Distribution → Rejection 3️⃣ VALUE AREA DYNAMICS Price Outside Value Area (VAH/VAL): - Price beyond 70% volume zone = statistical outlier - Two outcomes: Mean reversion OR trend continuation - Key differentiator: Presence of confluence zones Mean Reversion Pattern (No Strong Confluence): - Price extends 1-2% beyond VA → Typically reverts toward POC - Weak volume on extension → Higher probability of reversal Breakout Pattern (With ★4+ Confluence): - Price breaks VA with institutional patterns → Often continues - Strong volume + confluence = New value area forming 4️⃣ ICEBERG ORDER BEHAVIOR Cyan Bars with High Hit Counts: - Repeated volume at same level = Large hidden order absorbing - Price typically "tests" iceberg multiple times before resolution - Two outcomes: Absorption complete (break) OR rejection (bounce) 5️⃣ VOLUME SPIKE PATTERNS Bright Green/Red Bars (Institutional Aggression): - Extreme delta spikes indicate institutional entry - Trend Continuation Spikes: Spike aligned with trend = Often continues - Exhaustion Spikes: Spike against trend = Failed auction forming ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ⚙️ CONFIGURATION GUIDE ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ 🎯 QUICK START 1.

Student Wyckoff Effort Result Time **STUDENT WYCKOFF Effort vs Result** This tool measures how *hard* the market is working on every bar and compares the current effort with the previous one. It is built in the spirit of Wyckoff: first we look at the effort (volume), then at the result (price progress), and only after that compare them. --- ### Calculation (logic in simple terms) For each bar the script: 1. Takes an **ERT window (N bars)** – by default 2 bars: * **Effort (E)** = sum of volume over the last N bars. * **Time (T)** = number of bars in the window = N. * **Result (R)** = absolute % price change from the first bar in the window to the last bar. 2. Computes **ERT** as the “effort per unit of result”: * More volume and smaller price move → higher ERT (movement is heavy). * Less volume and bigger price move → lower ERT (movement is easy). 3. Plots a **histogram of ΔERT** – the difference between the current ERT and the previous ERT: * **Red bar above 0** – current ERT > previous ERT → *the last N bars were heavier than the previous N bars*. * **Teal bar below 0** – current ERT < previous ERT → *the last N bars were easier than the previous N bars*. 4. Optional **normalization window** rescales ΔERT over the last M bars, so extreme spikes do not destroy the readability of the whole histogram. It does not change the logic, only the visual scale. --- ### How to use * Look for **clusters of high red bars** – segments where price needs noticeably more effort than before to make progress. On up-moves this often appears before slowing, churning or topping; on down-moves it often appears near potential stopping zones. * Look for **deep teal bars** – segments where price moves easier than before. On rallies this can confirm a strong trend; on declines it can confirm strong selling pressure. * Divergences between price and the pattern of heavy/light ΔERT can highlight zones where the balance between effort and result is shifting. Inputs: * **ERT window (bars)** – how many bars are used to measure effort and result (N). * **Normalize ΔERT for readability** – on/off for visual normalization. * **Normalization window (bars)** – how many last bars are used to adapt the scale. * Colors for “current ERT heavier than previous” and “current ERT lighter than previous”.

Volume Analysis🙏🏻 (signed) Volume Analysis is 2 of 2 structural layer / ordeflow analysis scripts, while the first one is Liquidity Analysis. Both are independent so can’t be released together as a single script, but should be used together. The same math used in this script can be applied to other types of aggressive volume data: non-aggregated flow of market orders, volume traded of put vs call options. There’s no universal agreement about terminology, but this script works with volumes signed by the aggressor who initiated a transaction. Then these volumes get aggregated by time and a cumulative sum is calculated. Mostly this is widely known as Cumulative Volume Delta. However this script works with 'inferred' volumes vs the provided ones. It’s the better choice for equities, bonds; neutral choice for currencies; and suboptimal choice for natural and artificial commodities. Contents: Output description; How to analyze & use the outputs; How to use it together with Liquidity Analysis script; How did I use both scripts to finish The Leap profitably and skipped many losses. 1. Output description Color of the CVD line reflects (signed) volume imbalance state: red is negative, purple is neutral, blue is positive. 3 purple lines are lower deviation (lower band), basis (middle band), upper deviation (upper band): used to generate signals by a ruleset that would be explained in a minute Gray number in the script’s status line is the advised input you may put into Inferred volume multiplier in script’s setting, I will explain it Vertical dash line marks the moving window end, this way you can be certain over what exact data you see the profile was built. 2. How to analyze & use the outputs Setup up the script: Moving window length: set it to ~ ¼ of your data analysis window. E.g if you see on your charts and use ~ 256 bars, set the length to 64. Inferred volume multiplier: you can easily leave it 256, this is not a critical factor for the math, it’s mostly there if you want to ~ equate inferred volumes with real ones in scale. For this, use the gray number in the script status line, it’s calculated as ratio of long term real volumes weighted avg to long term inferred volumes weighted avg. Again, changing the inferred volume multiplier won’t affect the math. Use 2 timeframes: main one and a far lower one 3 steps down, just like on the screenshot. Find out current volume imbalance state: As mentioned before, based on CVD line color, it can be negative, neutral or positive. This is the state variable that changes slowly and denies/confirms the signals generated by crossovers of CVD line and 3 purple thresholds. For this I use my own very fast and lightweight metric that is totally statistically grounded, utilizes temporal information, and calculates volume imbalance without using heavy math like regressions as it’s usually done. It also provides a natural neutral zone, when volume imbalance is not strong enough to be confirmed. ... CVD-based signals: First you need to understand what precisely a touch of a threshold is: Touch: an event when either of these 2 happens: One CVD datapoint is above the threshold, and the next CVD datapoint is below the threshold One CVD datapoint is below the threshold, and the next CVD datapoint is above the threshold These are usually called crossovers/crossunders. Now with the 3 purple thresholds we follow this logic: Monitor the last touched threshold; Once another threshold is touched, here we may generate a signal but only once !, after the first generated signal at that threshold we can’t generate more signals on this threshold, we need to wait when CVD comes to another threshold. If CVD touches one threshold, and then goes down and touches another threshold downwards, we wait when CVD makes a datapoint above this threshold. When it happens, we register a long signal If CVD touches one threshold, and then goes up and touches another threshold upwards, we wait when CVD makes a datapoint below this threshold. When it happens, we register a short signal However, don’t open new trades against the current volume imbalance state. So don’t open shorts when the CDV line is blue, and don’t open longs when CVD line is red. Btw, this technique I call it “reclaim” of a level/threshold. It can be applied to horizontal levels, and it’s very powerful especially when you fade levels on very volatility assets like BTC. This technique allows you to Not fade a level straight away, but wait when price goes past the level a bit, and then comes back and reclaims it, only there you enter, and moreover you now have a very well defined risk point. The last part is multi-timeframe logic. Prefer to act when a lower timeframe is Not against the main timeframe. That’s all, no multiple higher timeframes are needed. 3. How to use it together with Liquidity Analysis script. That script also has a mean to generate its own signals, and another state variable called Liquidity Imbalance. So now you’re not only looking at volume imbalance but also at liquidity imbalance that would deny/confirm the CVD based signal. You need at least one of these two to favor your long or short. This is the same logic widely used in HFT, where MM bots cancel/shift/resize orders when book is too onesided And ordeflow is one sided as well. 4. How did I use both scripts to finish The Leap profitably and skipped many losses. Even tho you can use structural information as your main strategic layer, as many so-called orderflow traders do, I traded in objective style: my fade signals were volatility based in essence, and I used ordeflow for better entries and stops, but most importantly to skip losses. When ‘both‘ liquidity imbalance and volume imbalance (in their main timeframes) were against my trades, I skipped them all, saving many ~$500 stop losses (that was my basis risk unit for the Leap). Unless I had a very strong objective signal, i.e. confluence of several signals, or just one higher timeframe signal, I did all these skips. I traded ~ intraweek timeframe, so I was analyzing either the last 230 30min bars or 1380 5min bars. Both Liquidity Analysis and (signed) Volume Analysis scripts were set to moving window length 46 or 276 for either granularity. I finished the leap with 9% profit and max DD ~ 5%, a bit short of my goal of 12.5%. If not these 2 scripts I would’ve finished a bit above breakeven I think. ,,, Another thing, I made these 2 scripts invite-only because they are made particularly for trading, particularly for certain types of market data. These are tools adapted for particular use case, not like my other posts with general math entities like Kernel Density Estimation or Kalman filter, that you can take and apply properly on any data you need yourself. However these are made from general math entities like everything else. ‘All’ the components are available in my other scripts, ideas, and other sources related to me. If you want to reverse-engineer these, you can find all the components you need in my already posted open source work. ∞

Volume-Based Candle Shading Pro [LTS]Overview Volume-Based Candle Shading Pro is a visual aid that highlights how “unusual” each bar’s volume is compared to recent activity. It adjusts candle colors based on whether volume is above, below, or near its average, helping you quickly spot high-activity pushes and quiet rotations on any symbol or timeframe. How it works For each bar, the script calculates a simple moving average of volume over a user-defined lookback. It then compares the current bar’s volume to that average. Bullish candles start from a bullish base color, and bearish candles from a bearish base color. Depending on the volume ratio, that base color is blended toward a “high volume mix” color when volume is elevated, or toward a “low volume mix” color when volume is muted. The strength of the blend increases as the bar’s volume moves further away from the average, so extreme volume stands out visually while average bars remain close to the base colors. Colors are applied with the built-in barcolor() function, so the indicator only affects candle appearance; it does not modify price, volume, or any other chart values. Inputs Bullish Base Color / Bearish Base Color Primary colors used for up and down candles when volume is close to its average. High Volume Mix Color Color that is blended into the base color when volume is above its moving average. This is typically chosen as a darker or more intense shade to make heavy-volume bars stand out. Low Volume Mix Color Color that is blended into the base color when volume is below its moving average. Many users choose a lighter shade to visually de-emphasize low-participation bars. Volume MA Length Number of previous bars used to compute the average volume. Shorter lengths make the shading respond more quickly to recent changes in activity; longer lengths provide a smoother, more stable baseline. Typical use cases Highlighting high-volume breakouts, breakdowns, or rejection candles without adding extra panels or indicators. Distinguishing between strong, well-participated moves and low-volume drifts that may be less significant. Combining with your existing price-action tools to visually filter which candles deserve more attention based on relative volume. All calculations are based on historical volume and the current bar only; the script does not use future data or repaint past candles. It is intended as a visual aid and should be combined with your own analysis and risk management.
