Open Liquidity Heatmap [BigBeluga]Open Liquidity Heatmap is an indicator designed to display accumulated resting liquidity on the chart.
Unlike any other liquidity heatmap, this aims to accumulate liquidity at specific levels that build up over time, showing larger areas of liquidity.
🔶 FEATURES
The indicator includes the following settings:
Lookback : Used to determine the range calculation of the heatmap.
Leverage : Leverage of the liquidation (Counted as % in price, Example: 4.5 will return a distance from price of 4.5%, indicating any possible resting liquidity in this range).
Levels : Amount of levels to display (Each level is counted as liquidity resting on the chart; fewer levels will return a bigger area of liquidity sitting on the chart).
Mode : Apply a color gradient from the minimum liquidation to the maximum liquidity level. Set the maximum color gradient value (Counted as volume).
Offset : Automatically determine the offset range of the Volume Profiles. Manual offset of the Volume Profiles.
🔶 CALCULATION
for i = 0 to step - 1
float plotter = na
switch i
0 =>
plotter := hs
=>
plotter := hs - diff * ( i )
cls.hm.gnL(plotter)
cls.vp.put(plotter, 0)
We calculate levels like a normal volume profile with steps, from the highest point within the lookback to the lowest one. Each level will contain the corresponding amount of volume that the candle has closed in that range.
As we can see in the image above, we add liquidity each time the distance in % from price is between two levels.
Unlike many liquidity indicators that provide a single candle liquidity heatmap, this aims to add up liquidity (volume) in already present levels.
This can be extremely useful to see which levels are likely to be more liquid and tend to get a bigger reaction to the price.
Imagine it like a range of levels that each time price revisits that area, a new position area is added; we add volume in that area each time price visits that zone. Liquidity builds up in those zones, causing a bigger reaction to the price once the price visits it.
This indicator is not the same as a single candle heatmap like many others. What is a single candle heatmap?
A single candle heatmap is when a level is created on every new candle, coloring the level based on the total volume of it.
This indicator, on the contrary, aims to provide a more specific use by adding up liquidity each time price visits it.
🔶 BASIC DEMOSTRATION
This is a basic demonstration of how we can spot high liquidity points overall using confluence:
We see the POC of the liquidation in a low volume area of the normal volume profile adding up as confluence.
Resistance from the POC Volume Profile suggesting price will go lower.
Major long open liquidity down.
As we can see, price takes out all the long liquidity and right after pumping, indicating that all the major liquidity got taken out.
Some key note to take is that a POC in the liquidation heatmap in a low volume area of the normal Volume Profile add confluence of a possible big reaction in that zone.
In the forex market, we suggest to use a low distance from price (Leverage) while in a crypto market you can use the one that fit the best the current timeframe.
🔶 CONCLUSION
This indicator aims to show open resting liquidity that had built up over time, showing the most amount of liquidation in specific areas in an aggregated way unlike many liquidation heatmap indicators that show single-level liquidation.

RVOL++Overview
RVOL++ is a valuable tool for intraday traders to gauge market participation and anticipate the pace of the market. By understanding the RVOL levels, traders can adjust their strategies and expectations to align with the current market conditions. RVOL is a simple mathematical formula that compares the current volume to a prior lookback period, such as the previous 5 days or previous 10 days. This indicator helps traders understand the level of interest or participation in the market, which in turn can indicate the speed or pace of the market.
How to calculate RVOL at Time
Check if the current time is within the specified time period (e.g., 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM EST).
If it is, calculate the current cumulative volume for that period.
Find the average cumulative volume for the same period over the past X days (where X is the lookback period).
Calculate the RVOL at Time as:
RVOL at Time =(Current Cumulative Volume/Average Cumulative Volume)×100
For more info about calculating RVOL at time please refer to the Tradingview article.
www.tradingview.com
Key Features of RVOL++
Two Session and Daily Modes: In Two Session mode, it calculates RVOL for two distinct trading sessions, while in Daily mode, it calculates RVOL for the entire trading day. Two Session mode helps for instruments like futures, forex, crypto that trade 23+ hours. If you are using an instrument such as a stock like AAPL, if you don't have pre-market/extended hours enabled you will want to use "Daily Mode".
Session Time Settings: The indicator allows users to define the trading session times in Eastern Standard Time (EST) for more accurate RVOL calculations.
Customizable Lookback Period: Users can set the number of days for the lookback period, allowing for flexibility in calculating the average volume at time (RVOL).
Color-Coded RVOL Histogram: The indicator displays a color-coded histogram to visualize RVOL levels. Different colors represent different RVOL ranges, making it easy to identify low, neutral, and high RVOL periods.
RVOL Ranges**: The indicator defines RVOL ranges as follows:
40 - 80: Low RVOL (Red/Yellow)
80 - 120: Neutral RVOL (Blue/Cyan)
120+: High RVOL (Green-Lime)
Low RVOL Environment
Expect slow market movement with limited opportunities.
Focus on A+ setups and be selective.
Use tighter stops, size down, and adjust trading goals.
Neutral RVOL Environment
Expect a more normalized trading pace with frequent rotations.
Lean on structure and incorporate other trading tools.
Use normal sizing and stop management.
High RVOL Environment
Expect the best opportunities for range expansion and rotations.
Be more relaxed about overtrading but stay focused on structure.
Start with smaller initial size and build up to a full position.
VWAP 8EMA Crossover Scalping IndicatorWhy?
Everybody, especially in Indian context, from 9:15 AM to 3:30 PM, wants to trade in BankNifty.
And even 15m is Too Big timeframe for The Great Indian Options buyers. Everyone knows how potentially BankNifty (& FinNifty on Tuesday and Sensex on Friday) can show dance within 15m.
So there always been an overarching longing among traders to have something in shorter timeframes. And this 5m timeframe, looks like a universally (sic) accepted Standard Timeframe for Indian Options traders.
So here is this.
What?
The time we are publishing this public indicator Indian market (Nifty) is in ATH at ~22200.
In any such super trending market it's always good to wait for a dip and then in suitable time, enter the trade in the direction of the larger trend. The reversal trading systems, in such a situation, proves to be ineffective.
Of course there are time when market is sideways and keeps on oscillating between +/2 standard deviation of the 20 SMA. In such a situation the reversal play works perfectly. But not so in such a trending market.
So the question comes up - after a dip what's the right point to enter.
Hence comes the importance of such a crossover based trading system.
In this indicator, it's a well-known technique (nothing originally from ours, it's taken from social media, exact one we forgot) to find out the 8EMA and VWAP crossover.
So we learned from social media, practice in our daily trading a bit, actuate it and now publishing it.
A few salient points
It does not make sense to jump into the trade just on the crossover (or crossunder).
So we added some more sugar to it, e.g. we check the color the candle. Also the next candle if crosses and closes above (or below) the breakout candle's high/low.
The polarity (color) of both the alert (breakout/breakdown) and confirmation candle to be same (green for crossover, red from crossunder).
Of course, it does provider BUY and SELL alerts separately.
These all we have found out doing backtesting and forward testing with 1/2 lots and saw this sort of approaches works.
Hence all of these are added to this script.
Nomenclature
Here green line is the 8EMA and the red line is the VWAP.
Also there is a black dotted line. That's 50 EMA. It's to show you the trend.
The recent trade is shown in the top right of the chart as green (for buy) or red (for sell) with SL and 1:1 target.
How to trade using this system?
This is roughly we have found the best possible use of this indicator.
Lets explain with a bullish BUY positive crossover (means 8EMA is crossing over the daily VWAP)
Keep timeframe as 5m
Check the direction/slope of the black dotted line (50 EMA). If it's upwards, only take bullish positions.
Open the chart which has the VWAP. (e.g. FinNifty spot or MidcapNifty spot does not have vwap). So in those cases Future is the way to go.
Wait for a breakout crossover and let the indicator gives a green, triangular UP arrow.
Draw a horizontal line to the close of that candle for next few (say 6 candles i.e. 30m) candles.
Wait for the price first to retest the 8EMA or even better the VWAP (or near to the 8EMA, VWAP)
Let the price moves and closes above the horizontal line drawn in the 4th step.
Take a bullish trade, keeping VWAP as the SL and 1:1 as the target.
Additionally, Options buyer can consult ADX also to see if the ADX is more than 25 and moving up for the bullish trade. (This has to be added seperately in the chart, it's not a part of the indicator).
Mention
The concept we have taken from some social media. Forget exactly where we heard this first time. We just coded it with some additional steps.

Herrick Payoff Index @shrilssThis indicator combines elements of price action, volume, and open interest to provide insights into market strength and potential trend reversals. This script calculates the Herrick Payoff Index (HPI) based on a modified formula that incorporates volume and open interest adjustments.
The HPI is derived from comparing the current day's mean price to the previous day's mean price, factoring in volume and open interest changes. By analyzing these factors, the indicator aims to gauge the effectiveness of market participants' positions.
Key Features:
- HPI Calculation: The HPI value is calculated using the formula: ((M - My) * C * V) * (1 + |OI - OI | / min(OI, OI )), where M represents the mean price for the current day, My represents the mean price for the previous day, C is a constant (set to 1), V is the volume, and OI is the open interest. This adjusted calculation accounts for changes in volume and open interest, providing a more nuanced view of market dynamics.
- Moving Averages: The script also includes two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) of the HPI values, allowing traders to identify trends and potential reversal points. Users can customize the length of these moving averages to suit their trading strategies.
- Visual Signals: The indicator visually represents the HPI values and their relationship to the moving averages. When the HPI value is above the shorter-term EMA, it suggests bullish momentum, while values below indicate bearish sentiment.

VSA Volume Spread AnalysisVolume Spread Analysis with Trend Direction is an indicator designed to Identify trend based volume spread.
Volume
Spread
Trend
This is a very simple yet powerful to identify Trend and corresponding volume Breakout. Unlike other Volume Indicators this indicator detects Breakout along with trend direction. One can detect the Early breakout in volume using this indicator. The Buy or Sell Signal is based on zero crossing of the Histogram.
Trend direction is confirmed using the MA of the Histogram which is similar to the Volume MA on volume indicator. One can enter a trade using the indicator when Trend direction and histogram are in same direction. Entry is done when ever histogram crosses the Trend MA line.
Fake entries can be eliminated by changing the indicator to higher Timeframe.
Spread is determined using the difference in open and close of the candle
Volume change is determined using the ratio of change of volume to previous volume
EMA 10 is used to determine the Spread and multiplied by volume change so the
PRICE(ema10), Volume, Spread(close-open) are merged to one indicator.
Direction changes when ever difference of VSA is positive or negative.
VWAP Bands @shrilssVWAP Bands Integrates VWAP with standard deviation bands to provide traders with insights into potential support and resistance levels based on volume dynamics. VWAP is a key metric used by institutional traders to gauge the average price a security has traded at throughout the trading day, taking into account both price and volume.
This script calculates the VWAP for each trading session and overlays it on the price chart as a solid line. Additionally, it plots multiple standard deviation bands around the VWAP to indicate potential areas of price extension or contraction. These bands are derived from multiplying the standard deviation of price by predetermined factors, offering traders a visual representation of potential price ranges.
Timely Opening Range Breakout Strategy [TORB] (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Timely Opening Range Breakout (TORB) indicator builds upon the classic Open Range Breakout (ORB) concept. The ORB strategy is a popular trading setup used to identify trades around the opening range of an asset. It's based on the idea that the first few minutes (15-60 minutes) of trading often set the tone for the rest of the day, with breakouts above or below the opening range signifying potential trends.
TORB refines the concept by stating that a trade is only valid if there is sufficient market activity. This means a breakout beyond the upper or lower range is only of interest during the most active trading hours, as defined by PMMV (Per-Minute Mean Volume)
█ How It Works
ORB
The indicator works by first defining a session's opening range based on user-specified settings, including the session's start and end times and the applicable time zone. During this session, it calculates the high and low price points, which form the basis for identifying potential breakout levels.
PMMV
PMMV (Per-Minute Mean Volume) provides a snapshot of the market's activity level at each minute of the trading day. PMMV is calculated by averaging the trading volume in a one-minute interval over a specified number of trading days. This script uses the average volume over the last N periods to determine the PMMV value. This average volume provides a smoother representation of volume activity compared to using a single volume value. It considers the volume over a broader timeframe, filtering out short-term fluctuations and potentially offering a more reliable indicator of underlying market activity.
TORB
TORB works by integrating the Opening Range Breakout (ORB) highs and lows with the Per-Minute Mean Volume (PMMV) metric to assess the validity of breakouts. The objective is to identify breakouts from the opening high and low levels during periods of heightened market activity, as indicated by PMMV.
█ How to Use
To effectively utilize the Timely Opening Range Breakout (TORB) strategy, follow these steps:
Identify Active Hours: Employ PMMV to pinpoint periods of peak activity within the trading day.
Apply Basic ORB Rules: If the price surpasses the upper range (resistance), buy; if it breaches the lower range (support), sell.
Breakouts
The TORB strategy identifies breakout signals when the price moves beyond the established range, supported by volume exceeding a set threshold. This technique aims to eliminate false signals, focusing on price movements during high market activity.
█ Settings
Session
Trading Session: Customize the trading session's start and end times.
Volume
Volume analysis is integral to the TORB strategy, as it uses volume data to confirm the strength and validity of breakout signals.
Period: Sets the number of periods (or bars) to calculate the average volume, which is then used to assess market activity level.
Sensitivity and Significance: Adjusts how responsive the volume analysis is to changes in trading volume. By adjusting the sensitivity, traders can decide how much emphasis to place on volume spikes, potentially reducing false breakouts and focusing on those supported by significant trading activity.
Breakout Threshold
This setting establishes a criterion to identify when the price movement is significant enough.
Threshold: Traders set a threshold level to identify high market activity. If the PMMV is greater than or equal to this threshold, it indicates significant market activity.
Setting the correct threshold is key to balancing sensitivity and specificity. Too low of a threshold may lead to many false positives, while too high of a threshold might filter out potentially profitable breakouts. This setting helps in pinpointing when market activity indicates a strong move, thereby aligning trade entries with moments of heightened market momentum.

Automatically generates VWAPs for 1 day and 2 day.
User-Friendly Customization:
Through input options, users can easily toggle the visibility of each VWAP line, adjust colors, and set line thicknesses to their preference.
Configuration Options
1. VWAP Source:
Choose the price source for VWAP calculation. Default is the typical price (`hlc3` - the average of high, low, and close).
2. VWAP Lines:
Toggle the display for Today's VWAP, Yesterday's VWAP, and the VWAP from 2 days ago.
Customize colors and thickness for each VWAP line for clear visual distinction.
3. VWAP Labels:
Configure label sizes and positions to ensure that VWAP values are easily identifiable on the chart.
How It Works:
- The script calculates the sum of price multiplied by volume (`vwapsum`) and the sum of volumes (`volumesum`) for the specified periods.
- It utilizes an impulse function to reset calculations at the start of each new session or custom date, ensuring accurate and relevant VWAP values .
- Final VWAP values are plotted as lines on the chart, with optional labels for current and 2-day VWAPs for quick reference.
Customization Guide:
- To activate or deactivate specific VWAP lines, navigate to the 'VWAP Lines' section in the script's settings and toggle the respective options.
- Adjust the color and thickness of each VWAP line under the same section to match your charting preferences.
- Label settings, including size and offset, can be customized in the 'VWAP Labels' section, allowing for personalized label positioning and readability.
Volume inspectorThe "Volume inspector" is designed to provide a deep dive into the volume dynamics within a given larger timeframe by dissecting the positive and negative volume of candles from a lower timeframe. This analysis helps in understanding how the volume within a single candle is composed, whether it leans towards buying or selling pressure. The indicator sums up the positive and negative volumes to present the net volume in columns, offering a clear visual representation of the market's buying or selling intensity at a glance.
Additionally, it features an area between two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to gauge the prevailing trend direction. A green spread between the EMAs signals strong buying pressure, with the width of the area indicating the strength of this pressure. Conversely, a red area points to selling pressure, warning users to exercise caution — it advises against buying the asset when the spread is narrow or red, suggesting weak buying momentum or strong selling momentum.
The tool recommends using daily candles as the primary timeframe for a broad market overview, with the following configurations for the lower timeframe analysis:
5 minutes for highly liquid and voluminous assets,
15 or 30 minutes for assets with lower volume to ensure accuracy without excessive market noise.
It's important to note that this indicator does not predict future market movements but rather analyzes the current behavior of the asset, making it a valuable tool for traders looking to understand immediate market sentiment and trend strength.
Asset capital flows - multi-timeframeIndicator for use on the any timeframe to show net capital flows into an asset of your choosing, to allow the user to track potential buy and selling pressure.
Net volume is derived from lower timeframe data (5 minute chart by default for daily timeframe) and multiplied by the average price for the same LTF period (defined by the mean of the high, low + close values). This gives the net capital inflow or outflow for the asset per bar. The cumulative sum of all previous bars is also calculated each period/day and available to be plotted as a line chart.
This might be preferred to other similar indicators as it uses low time frame bars to calculate the up/down volumes and price, thus accuracy is improved.
It should be borne in mind that the values of capital flows displayed are specific to the asset and the volume/price feed origin (ie the listed exchange used), and thus correlated with the total underlying flows, but there are other external factors influencing the volume/price data feed beyond the buy/sell volume of the specified exchange (such as spot and futures trading on other locations/exchanges)
Daily Spot BTC ETF flowsIndicator for use on the daily timeframe to show combined capital flows into 8 of the largest spot bitcoin ETFs to allow the user to track potential buy and selling pressure on spot BTC.
The included ETFs are:
GBTC
ARKB
FBTC
HODL
IBIT
EZBC
BTCO
BITB
Net daily volume is derived from lower timeframe data (5 minute chart by default) for each ETF and multiplied by the average price for the period (defined by the mean of the high, low + close values). This gives the net capital inflow or outflow for each ETF, every period. The individual daily values are added together to give a total capital flow per day and plotted as columns. The cumulative sum of all previous periods is also calculated each period/day and plotted as a line chart.
This is the only indicator currently collating this capital flow data together and presents it as an easy to understand chart to help the user gauge market conditions. By using low time frame bars to calculate the up and down volumes, accuracy is improved.
Volume Spike IndicatorHello dear traders,
Today we're discussing an indicator I've coded: the Volume Spike Indicator (VSI).
The indicator isn't a groundbreaking invention and certainly not a novelty. Nevertheless, I haven't seen this version of the indicator on TradingView before, so I'd like to introduce it.
1. The Origin of the Idea:
We're all familiar with volume charts: A volume chart visually represents the trading activity for a specific asset over a certain period, indicating the total number of shares or contracts traded.
We also know that volume spikes can significantly impact the market. A volume spike represents an extreme anomaly, a day, week, or month with an extraordinary amount of trading. However, recognizing these spikes in practice isn't always straightforward. What constitutes high volume? How do we define and identify it? The answers to these questions aren't easy.
It's commonly said that a volume spike could be identified if the volume is 25% more than the average of the two weeks prior, but how do you measure this 25%? It's not always easy to calculate, especially in real-time.
This challenge led me to develop the concept into an indicator.
How Does It Work?
Imagine being able to "feel" the market's energy like a surfer feels the ocean. The VSI does something similar by examining trading volume and comparing it to what has been typical over the past few weeks. Here's a quick look at the magic behind it:
Step 1: Establishing the Baseline: We start by establishing a baseline, i.e., the average trading volume over a given period. Let's use the last 10 days as the default setting. We choose 10 days because, in the traditional stock market, 10 days represent two weeks if you subtract weekends. This gives us a fixed line to compare against.
Step 2: Recognizing Peaks: Next, we look for days when the trading volume significantly exceeds this average. The size of the jump is where you have a say. You can set a threshold, such as 25%, to define what you consider a volume spike.
Step 3: The Calculation: This is where the math comes into play. We calculate the percentage change in today's volume compared to the average volume of the last 10 days. For example, if today's volume is 30% above the average and you've set your threshold at 25%, the VSI will recognize this as a spike.
Step 4: Visual Cue: These spikes are then plotted on a graph, with each spike represented as a bar. The height of the bar indicates the spike's percentage size, so you can see at a glance how significant a spike is.
Step 5: Intuitive Color Coding: For quick analysis, the VSI employs a color-coding system. Exceptionally high peaks, such as those exceeding a 100% increase, are highlighted in blue to emphasize their importance. Other peaks are shown in red, creating a visual hierarchy for quick volume data interpretation.
Why This Matters:
Identifying these spikes can help pinpoint the beginning or end of a trend. The idea is that when trading peaks at a certain level, there might be no more buyers or sellers willing to engage at that price level. Volume peaks, and a reversal is likely imminent. It's a simple yet effective concept. Therefore, it's crucial to use this indicator in the context of the trend, as not every spike carries the same significance.
Customizable:
The beauty of the VSI lies in its flexibility. Trading futures? You might want to adjust the averaging period to 14 days to better suit your market. You have full control over the settings to tailor them to your trading style.
Interpreting the Figures:
A positive percentage indicates a volume spike above the average – the higher the percentage, the more significant the spike.
If the percentage exceeds a certain threshold (which you can set, e.g., 25%), it signals a volume spike, indicating increased market activity that could precede significant price movement.
What makes the VSI genuinely adaptable is your ability to tweak the parameters to suit your needs.
Are you trading in a volatile market? Extend the SMA period to smooth out the noise. Trading in a 24-hour market? Adjust the length of your SMA. Seeking finer details? Shorten it. The VSI is yours to adapt to your trading strategy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As we wrap up this introduction to the Volume Spike Indicator, I hope you're as excited about its potential as I am. This tool, born out of curiosity and a desire for clarity in the vast ocean of market data, is designed to be your ally in navigating the waves of trading activity.
Remember, the true power of the VSI lies not just in its ability to highlight significant volume spikes, but in its adaptability to your unique trading style and needs. Whether you're charting courses through the tumultuous seas of day trading or navigating the broader currents of long-term investments, the VSI is here to offer insights and guidance.
I encourage you to experiment with it, customize it, and see how it can enhance your trading strategy. And as you do, remember that every tool, no matter how powerful, is just one piece of the puzzle. Combine the VSI with your knowledge, experience, and intuition to make informed and strategic trading decisions.
Thank you for taking the time to explore the Volume Spike Indicator with me.

Elder Force Index Oscillator @shrilssThe "Elder Force Index Oscillator" is a comprehensive tool designed to assess the strength and direction of trends in the market. This indicator combines volume and price movement to provide traders with valuable insights into market dynamics.
Key Features:
- Volume Weighted: The oscillator considers both price changes and volume, emphasizing the significance of volume in confirming price movements.
- Trend Identification: Utilizing exponential moving averages (EMAs) and Bollinger Bands (BB), the indicator identifies potential trend reversals and continuations.
- Trend Strength Highlighting: With customizable options, the script highlights areas of strong and weak trend initiation, aiding traders in making informed decisions.
How It Works:
- Elder Force Index (EFI): The EFI is calculated as the EMA of price changes multiplied by volume. A positive value suggests buying pressure, while a negative value indicates selling pressure.
- EFI Moving Average (EFI MA): This smooths out the EFI, providing a clearer indication of trend direction.
- Bollinger Bands (BB): The upper and lower bands are calculated based on a specified number of standard deviations from the EFI's moving average, offering insights into potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Kshitij Malve - Minervini Trend Criteria (MTC)Purpose:
This indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying stocks that potentially meet the bullish Stage 2 trend criteria outlined by renowned stock trader Mark Minervini. It analyzes price movement in relation to moving averages and calculates certain price thresholds to provide visual signals.
Key Features:
Minervini Stage 2 Focus: Specifically targets trend characteristics highlighted in Minervini's trading methodology.
Adjustable Moving Averages: The script includes inputs for 150-day, 200-day, and 50-day moving average lengths, allowing users to customize their analysis.
Visual Trend Criteria: Each core Stage 2 trend condition is plotted below the chart as green or red dots for quick visual assessment.
Stage 2 Uptrend Signal: When all key trend conditions are met, a purple up-arrow appears beneath the price chart.
Alerts: Customizable alerts can be set up to notify the user when all conditions are met, signaling a potential Stage 2 uptrend.
Conditions Evaluated:
Price Position: Current price is above the 50-day, 150-day, and 200-day simple moving averages.
Moving Average Alignment: 50-day MA is above the 150-day MA, which is above the 200-day MA.
Uptrending 200-day MA: The 200-day MA is demonstrating an upward trend over the specified period.
30% Above 52-Week Low: Current price is at least 30% higher than the 52-week low.
Within 25% of 52-Week High: Current price is no more than 25% below the 52-week high.
Important Notes:
This indicator does not directly plot lines for conditions 4 and 5 (52-week high/low comparisons). Consider incorporating these into your chart in some way for full technical analysis in line with the Minervini method.
For additional depth, study Mark Minervini's books to fully understand the context and strategies built around these criteria.
How to Use:
Add the "Kshitij Malve - Minervini Trend Criteria" indicator to a stock chart.
Observe the placement of colored dots below the chart. A series of green dots suggests the stock is within Minervini's Stage 2 criteria.
Look for the purple up-arrow signal for confirmation that all conditions are met.
Customize alerts if you would like real-time signals of potential Stage 2 uptrends.
Multi VWAP from Gaps [MW]Multi VWAP from Gaps
Introduction
The Multi VWAP from Gaps tool extends the concept of using the Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price, popularized by its founder, Brian Shannon, founder of AlphaTrends. It creates automatic AVWAPS for anchor points originating at the biggest gaps of the week, month, quarter and year. Currently, most standard VWAP tools allow users to place custom anchored VWAPs, but the routine of doing this for every equity being watched can become cumbersome. This tool makes that process multi-times easier. Considering that large gaps can represent a shift in market structure, this tool provides unique and immediate insight into how past daily price gaps can and have affected price action.
Settings
LABEL SETTINGS
Show Biggest Gap of Week | Month | Quarter : Toggle labels that identify the location of the biggest gaps for the selected time period.
Show Big Labels : Toggle labels from showing the date and gap size to just showing a single letter (W/M/Q/Y) designating the time period that the gap is from.
Hide All Labels : Turn labels off and on.
MAX VWAP LINES
Max Weekly | Monthly | Quarterly | Yearly Lines : How many VWAP lines, starting from today, should be shown for the specified time period. Max: 5
SHOW VWAP LINES
Show Weekly | Monthly | Quarterly | Yearly Lines : This feature allows you to remove lines for the specified time period.
Calculations
This indicator does not provide buy or sell signals. It is simply the VWAP calculated starting from an “anchor point”, or start time. It is calculated by the summation of Price x Volume / Volume for the period starting at the anchor point.
How to Interpret
According to Brian Shannon, VWAP is an objective measure of what the average trader has paid for a particular equity over a given period, and is the value that large institutional investors frequently use as a trade signal. Therefore, by definition, when the price is above an AVWAP, buyers are in control for that period of time. Likewise, if the price is below the AVWAP, sellers are in control for that period of time.
VWAPs that coincide with important events, such as FOMC meetings, CPI reports, earnings reports, have added significance. In many cases, these events can cause gaps to happen in day-to-day price movement, and can affect market structure going forward.
Practically speaking, price action can tend to change direction when a significant VWAP is hit, voiding buy and sell signals. Like moving averages, this indicator can show, in real-time, how a buy or sell signal should be interpreted. A significant AVWAP line is a point of interest, and can serve as strong support or resistance, because large institutions may be using those values for entries or exits. For a great analysis of how to use AVWAP, visit the AlphaTrends channel on Youtube here or you can buy Brian Shannon’s “Anchored VWAP” book on Amazon.
Other Usage Notes and Limitations
It's important for traders to be aware of the limitations of any indicator and to use them as part of a broader, well-rounded trading strategy that includes risk management, fundamental analysis, and other tools that can help with reducing false signals, determining trend direction, and providing additional confirmation for a trade decision. Diversifying strategies and not relying solely on one type of indicator or analysis can help mitigate some of these risks.
Additionally, in order to build the VWAP calculations, past data is needed that may not be available on shorter timeframes. The workaround is that for some longer-term VWAP lines on shorter timeframes, you may see less than the total of lines that you selected in settings. This is particularly the case with quarterly VWAP lines on the 5 minute timeframe for some equities.
Acknowledgements
This script uses the MarketHolidays library by @Protervus. Also, for debugging, the JavaScript-style Debug Console by @algotraderdev was invaluable. Special thanks to @antsmuzic for helping review and debug the script. And, of course, without Brian Shannon's books, videos, and interviews, this indicator would would not have happened.
Multi-Time AVWAP_BEARConcept
Collaboration Highlight:
This was a collaboration with @Chart_School and @KioseffTrading Thank you to both, along with Ricardo Santos for his awesome library we used.
Overview
See how you view different time frame charts with one indicator and little to no adjustment.
Innovation:
The concept of using Anchored VWAP (AVWAP) with time events is a powerful technique in trading and technical analysis. Anchored VWAP differs from the traditional Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) by allowing traders to select a specific starting point or "anchor," from which the VWAP calculation begins. This approach is particularly useful for assessing price movements in relation to significant market events or specific periods of interest.
Utility and Flexibility:
Explaining the flexibility in turning on and off different time slices without much adjustment showcases a user-friendly design.
Key Uses and Benefits
Comparative Performance:
Anchoring the VWAP at the start of different time frames (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly) enables traders to compare the current price performance against previous periods. This comparison can highlight trends or shifts in trading momentum relative to past activity.
Support and Resistance Levels:
AVWAP lines can act as dynamic support and resistance levels. When anchored to significant time events, these levels gain additional relevance as they reflect the market's valuation of an asset since a notable point in time. Traders often watch for price interactions with these levels to make informed trading decisions.
Risk Management:
Anchored VWAP can serve as a benchmark for setting stop-loss orders or profit targets. By considering the price's relation to the AVWAP of a specific period or after a key event, traders can define exit points that are aligned with market-generated information.
Trend Confirmation: The direction and stability of the price relative to an anchored VWAP can indicate the strength of a trend. If the price consistently remains above an AVWAP anchored at a bullish event (or below for a bearish event), it may confirm the trend's continuation.
Further Reading
Educational Resource:
Becuase we are using Volume with a relation to price AVWAP is very powerful to show data that cannot be eye balled on its own. Brian Shannon's book "Maximum Trading Gains With Anchored VWAP - The Perfect Combination of Price, Time & Volume", is an excellent guide to best practices on how to use AVWAP to your advatage while trading. His book goes into depth about the best way to use this indicator to its fullest potencial.
Tips for Using This Indicator
Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly Settings:
All the settings for the lower timeframe charts are similar. Here is an example of seeing a Weekly AVWAP for 6 weeks, showing:
1. The start of the 6-week AVWAP is using a High Low Close source for the first candle of the 6 weeks.
2. The lines are colored "Red" for the AVWAPs.
3. The line thickness is "1".
Yearly Settings
Simlair to the other settings with the Yearly we give you a couple more options along with 3 years to toggle on and off. The idea was to allow the user to see which AVWAP most effected by price and quickly toggle them on and off to unclutter their chart.
Watch for how and if the labels over lap and choose the one you feel is most in play. In Shannon's Book he talks about "Hand off's" and "Pinches". These concepts are easy to spot with being able to see all the Major Time Events, then simply toggle off the one you dont need.
A great benefit to how we coded this script you can buzz through a watch list without having to re-adjust the Anchor points. This will save you time if following a basket of symbols and show coorlations in the overall market.
Secret Feature
When looking at these becuase the user doesn't need to hand plot the anchor points and we are fouced on major time slices, I encourge you to use the Trading View "Bar Replay" Feature. You think that you are missing a high or low AVWAP but what is happening is the indicator is re-plotting a level that is super hard to see, then you will see the hand-offs like Shannon discusses in his book. This blew me away while we were discussing it post development.
Conclusion
There are so many uses of how to use VWAP and therories on its best practice. We are only using "TIME EVENTS". For more ways to use AVWAP, I would encourge you to also handplot them with Trading View's new "Anchored VWAP", as seen in the standard toolbar.
Using your ideas along with this indicator i think its a powerful combination.

Volume Flow Oscillator (VFO)I created the Volume Flow Oscillator (VFO) to explore the intricate interplay between volume and price movements over a specific lookback period. This tool contrasts volumes that move in sync with the price against those that move in opposition, signaling potential overbought or oversold territories. To determine the direction, I compare the current price to its value four periods back, shedding light on underlying bullish or bearish momentum. The VFO enriches my analysis and decision-making by offering a detailed perspective on how volume trends correlate with price changes. Its color-coded visuals are crucial for highlighting optimal trading points based on volume dynamics.
Volume Spectrum - WhvntrThe "Volume Spectrum" by Whvntr has been developed to analyze and visualize trading volume patterns in financial markets, offering traders insights into volume dynamics relative to historical performance. This tool can be particularly useful for identifying periods of unusually high or low trading activity, which are often associated with significant price movements.
Intended Markets and Conditions
The Volume Spectrum indicator is versatile and can be applied across a variety of markets, including stocks, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. It is designed to be relevant in both bullish and bearish markets, as well as in varying volatility conditions. The primary focus is on identifying shifts in trading volume that could indicate potential trading opportunities or risks.
Features and Relevance for Trading
Volume Analysis: The indicator calculates and plots the average volume over a user-defined period (length) and compares it to a shorter-term average volume (avg_length). This comparison helps in identifying trends in trading volume.
Smoothing Options: Users can select from four types of smoothing methods (RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA) to calculate the moving averages, allowing for customization based on trading strategy and personal preference.
High and Low Volume Identification: It highlights periods of high and low volume relative to the average, using customizable color schemes for easy visual identification.
Volume Alerts: The script generates alerts for significant increases or decreases in volume, enabling traders to react promptly to potential trading signals.
Customizability: Traders can adjust various parameters, including volume length, average length, smoothing method, and visual elements like plot colors and background highlights.
Volume Histogram: An optional volume histogram can be displayed, with colors indicating whether the volume is increasing and if the closing price was higher or lower than the opening price.
This indicator can be particularly relevant for traders looking to capitalize on volume-based trading strategies. High volume periods may indicate strong interest in a security at its current price, whereas low volume may suggest a lack of interest. By identifying these conditions, traders can make more informed decisions about entry and exit points.
