Volume
Distribution & Follow-Through Day MarkerMarks D or F on candles based on IBD rule.

Follow through day: The gain must be at least 1.2%; the volume is higher than prior trading day.
CDVDThis script calculates and visualizes the Cumulative Delta Volume Divergence (CDVD) with the MACD indicator. It combines volume-based market analysis with MACD-style momentum to help identify false signals with divergences, trends or potential reversals.
The cumulative delta volume divergence is derived by summing up the differences between uptick volume (volume during price increases) and downtick volume (volume during price decreases) over time.
A Fast EMA and Slow EMA are calculated from the cumulative delta volume to smooth the data.
The difference between these EMAs forms the MACD Line.
A Signal Line is created by applying another EMA to the MACD Line.
The difference between the MACD Line and the Signal Line forms the Histogram:
This indicator helps traders:
Identify false signals with divergences unseen on MACD and Price Action.
Identify bullish or bearish momentum in market volume.
Spot potential trend reversals based on changes in cumulative delta volume dynamics.
Analyze the interplay between price momentum and volume flow.
It’s especially useful for traders who focus on volume-based market dynamics.
Snapshot: Use in conjunction with MACD to identify true divergences.

Volume Standard Deviation Alert GusPurpose
The script detects and alerts traders when the volume of a trading asset significantly exceeds a calculated threshold based on the standard deviation of volume over a specified lookback period. It optionally filters these alerts based on whether the price action is bullish or bearish.
Key Components
Inputs
lookback (default: 20)
The number of bars to consider when calculating the moving average and standard deviation of volume.
stdDevFactor (default: 2.0)
The multiplier for the standard deviation to determine the threshold for a volume spike.
alertOnClose (default: true)
Determines whether alerts should only be triggered after the bar has closed.
checkBullBear (default: false)
Enables filtering of alerts based on the bullishness or bearishness of the bar.
Calculations
volSMA
The simple moving average (SMA) of the volume over the lookback period.
volStd
The standard deviation of the volume over the lookback period.
threshold
The alert threshold is calculated as:
Threshold
=
volSMA
+
(
stdDevFactor
×
volStd
)
Threshold=volSMA+(stdDevFactor×volStd)
isBullish & isBearish
Determines whether the current bar is bullish (close > open) or bearish (close < open).
volumeSpikeCondition
A condition that triggers when the current volume exceeds the calculated threshold.
bullishCondition & bearishCondition
Refines the spike condition by requiring the bar to be bullish or bearish when checkBullBear is enabled.
finalCondition
The ultimate alert condition based on the user’s preference for bullish/bearish filtering.
finalTrigger
Ensures the alert only triggers at bar close if alertOnClose is set to true.
Visualization
Plots the SMA of the volume (volSMA) and the threshold line (threshold), helping traders visually understand the conditions.
Histograms the current volume and colors the bars:
Red: Volume exceeds the threshold.
Blue: Volume is below the threshold.
Alerts
The script generates an alert message when the finalTrigger condition is met:
"Bullish Volume Spike!" if the bar is bullish.
"Bearish Volume Spike!" if the bar is bearish.
"High Volume Spike!" if no bull/bear filter is applied.
Alerts are sent using alert() with the message and set to trigger once per bar close.
Usage
Traders can use this script to identify unusual volume activity, which often precedes significant price movements.
Customizability allows traders to tune the lookback period, standard deviation multiplier, and whether to filter for bullish/bearish spikes.
Visual and audible cues help in identifying important market events in real time.
This indicator is particularly useful for spotting market breakouts or breakdowns driven by high trading activity.

Money Flow ExtendedMoney Flow Extended (MF)
Definition
The Money Flow Extended (MF) indicator brings together the functionality of the Money Flow Index indicator (MFI) , a tool created by Gene Quong and Avrum Soudack and used in technical analysis for measuring buying and selling pressure, and The Relative Strength Index (RSI) , a well versed momentum based oscillator created by J.Welles Wilder Jr., which is used to measure the speed (velocity) as well as the change (magnitude) of directional price movements.
History
As the Money Flow Index (MFI) is quite similar to The Relative Strength Index (RSI), essentially the RSI with the added aspect of volume, adding a Moving Average, divergence calculation, oversold and overbought gradients, facilitates the transition from RSI, making the use of MFI pretty similar.
What to look for
Overbought/Oversold
When momentum and price rise fast enough, at a high enough level, eventual the security will be considered overbought. The opposite is also true. When price and momentum fall far enough, they can be considered oversold. Traditional overbought territory starts above 80 and oversold territory starts below 20. These values are subjective however, and a technical analyst can set whichever thresholds they choose.
Divergence
MF Divergence occurs when there is a difference between what the price action is indicating and what MF is indicating. These differences can be interpreted as an impending reversal. Specifically, there are two types of divergences, bearish and bullish.
Bullish MFI Divergence – When price makes a new low but MF makes a higher low.
Bearish MFI Divergence – When price makes a new high but MF makes a lower high.
Failure Swings
Failure swings are another occurrence which can lead to a price reversal. One thing to keep in mind about failure swings is that they are completely independent of price and rely solely on MF. Failure swings consist of four steps and are considered to be either Bullish (buying opportunity) or Bearish (selling opportunity).
Bullish Failure Swing
MF drops below 20 (considered oversold).
MF bounces back above 20.
MF pulls back but remains above 20 (remains above oversold)
MF breaks out above its previous high.
Bearish Failure Swing
MF rises above 80 (considered overbought)
MF drops back below 80
MF rises slightly but remains below 80 (remains below overbought)
MF drops lower than its previous low.
Summary
The Money Flow Extended (MF) can be a very valuable technical analysis tool. Of course, MF should not be used alone as the sole source for a trader’s signals or setups. MF can be combined with additional indicators or chart pattern analysis to increase its effectiveness.

NSE & BSE Option Chain - Auto Option Data InputDefinition
An options chain is a list of all available option contracts for a specific security, organized by expiration date and strike price.
What Is an Options Chain ?
Understanding how to read and analyze options chains is crucial for investors venturing into options trading. These display all available option contracts for a particular security, typically in a table format that organizes contracts by expiration date and strike price. The tool provides a wealth of information at a glance, including present prices, trading volume, and implied volatility (IV) for both call and put options.
While the long list of prices and other information can look at first to be overly complicated, learning to navigate an options chain will significantly improve your ability to trade in these derivatives and identify prospects in the market. As options continue to gain popularity among retail investors, mastering the intricacies of the options chain has become an essential skill for those looking to expand their trading strategies beyond traditional stock investments.
Key Takeaways
An options chain displays all available option contracts for a security, organized by expiration date and strike price.
Options chains typically show each contract's bid price, ask price, volume, open interest, and implied volatility (IV).
Options chains can be used to identify trading prospects, such as mispriced options or favorable risk-reward scenarios.
Understanding Options Chains
Option chains list all available option contracts for a particular underlying security. For traders, they provide a snapshot of crucial information about each contract, including strike prices, expiration dates, and market prices.
Typically organized in a table, options chains have separate sections for call and put options. The rows represent different strike prices, while the columns show various data points for each contract. This lets traders quickly compare options with different characteristics to make informed decisions.
Decoding Options Chains
The columns of an option chain, as seen in the example chart above, include the following:
Strike price: The price the option holder can buy (for calls) or sell (for puts) the underlying asset.
Expiration date: The last day the option contract is valid.
1
Bid price: The highest price a buyer is willing to pay for the option.
Ask price: The lowest price a seller is willing to accept for the option.
Last price: The most recent trading price for the option.
Percentage change: The net change column reflects the direction (up, down, or flat) for the underlying asset, as well as the amount of the price shift.
Volume: The number of contracts traded during the current session.
2
Open interest: The total of outstanding contracts.
Mastering the art of reading options chains is essential for any serious options trader. It's where market sentiment, price inefficiencies, and trading prospects all come together.
In options trading, information is power. A well-analyzed option chain can reveal market inefficiencies that savvy traders can exploit. For example, comparing the bid-ask spread across different strike prices can help identify more liquid options, while analyzing open interest can help you understand market sentiment.
A skilled user can quickly decipher an options chain for what it says about price moves and where there are high and low levels of liquidity. For the best trades, this is critical information. For those not quite there yet, let's break down other parts of the options chain tables into manageable parts:
Calls vs. puts: Option chains typically separate call options (the right to buy) from put options (the right to sell). This division allows traders to focus straightaway on bullish or bearish strategies.
Filters and customization: Most trading platforms enable you to customize your options chain view. You can quickly filter by expiration date, strike price range, or specific Greek values to focus on the most relevant contracts.
The Bottom Line
The options chain is indispensable for options traders, providing a comprehensive view of all available contracts for a given security. By learning to read and analyze options chains, you can gain greater clarity about market sentiment, identify trading prospects, and make more informed decisions for your options strategies.
While it takes a bit of time to become proficient in interpreting all the data presented, mastering the options chain is crucial for those looking to leverage the full potential of options trading in their investment approaches.

RSI and CMF V 1.0
Introduction: RSI and CMF
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) are two powerful tools for analyzing market behavior. Each serves a unique purpose and provides insights into different aspects of price action.
The RSI measures the speed and magnitude of price movements. By comparing recent gains to losses over a chosen period, it identifies overbought and oversold conditions in the market. RSI focuses solely on price and offers traders a quick glance at whether an asset is trending too high or too low relative to its recent performance.
On the other hand, the CMF evaluates market behavior by integrating both price and volume. It measures money flow to determine whether an asset is being accumulated (bullish) or distributed (bearish). Positive CMF values indicate buying pressure, while negative values signal selling pressure, making it an essential tool for volume-based analysis.
Our Innovation
Traditionally, indicators like the RSI and CMF are analyzed in separate panels, limiting their connection to the price chart itself. We’ve developed an innovative solution that combines the power of these two indicators, enabling traders to simultaneously measure both price movements and volume flow in a unified visualization. By mapping the RSI and CMF directly onto the price chart, our indicator provides a seamless way to observe and analyze how price momentum and money flow interact with the actual price action.
This integration of volume, price, and momentum into a single chart offers traders a comprehensive tool for deeper market insights and faster decision-making.

Description of RSI and CMF Settings
RSI Settings:
The RSI Length determines how many periods are included in the RSI calculation. Shorter lengths make the RSI more reactive to price changes, while longer lengths smooth out fluctuations. The RSI Source provides flexibility in selecting the price input for calculation, which is typically the closing price by default.
CMF Settings:
The CMF Length defines how many periods are used to calculate the Chaikin Money Flow, enabling users to focus on short-term or long-term trends in money flow. Enabling the CMF over price ensures the relationship between volume and price action is visually evident on the price chart.
The Style Settings
panel allows users to customize the visual appearance of the indicator, ensuring clarity and alignment with their preferences. Users can independently adjust the line colors for RSI and CMF, with default settings of green for RSI and red for CMF, enabling a clear distinction between the two.
Additionally, the Fill between RSI and CMF option provides two customizable colors (Color 0 and Color 1) to represent the dynamic fill. This fill visually highlights the relationship between the RSI and CMF, enhancing the interpretability of their interaction on the price chart. The settings also include options to toggle precision, labels on the price scale, and values in the status line for added flexibility.

How to Analyze with RSI and CMF V 1.0
The RSI and CMF V 1.0 indicator provides an intuitive and integrated approach to analyzing market trends, combining momentum and volume dynamics directly on the price chart. Its innovative mapping of RSI and CMF makes it easy to spot key trends and reversals with unmatched clarity.
Key Insights:
1. Dynamic Relationship Between RSI and CMF:
The indicator maps RSI (momentum-based) and CMF (volume-based) values onto the price chart. This makes it easier to analyze how price momentum aligns with money flow.
The color-coded fill highlights the strength of their relationship:
- Blue Fill: RSI is stronger than CMF, indicating price momentum leads the movement.
- Red Fill: CMF dominates RSI, reflecting the strength of volume flow.
2. Spotting Trends:
Uptrends: Consistent blue fills paired with RSI and CMF rising together suggest bullish momentum backed by strong volume.
Downtrends: Red fills with declining RSI and CMF signal bearish pressure driven by selling volume.
3. Reversals and Divergences:
Divergences between price action and the mapped RSI/CMF lines can signal potential reversals.
For instance, if price is rising but RSI and CMF are both falling, it could indicate weakening bullish momentum.
Ease of Use:
Color Coding: The dynamic fills (blue and red) allow for immediate visual identification of trend strength and direction, reducing analysis time.
Overlay on Price: By plotting directly on the price chart, traders don’t need to switch between multiple panels, ensuring the context remains clear.
Customizable Settings: Inputs for length, source, and enable/disable toggles make it adaptable for all trading styles and timeframes.
In conclusion, this indicator offers a visually clear and easy-to-understand way to combine momentum and volume analysis, empowering traders with actionable insights at a glance.
Weighted Volumetric PressureThis indicator measures the balance of buying and selling pressure in the market by analyzing price action, trading activity, and market volatility. It dynamically adjusts to changing conditions, highlighting areas of potential strength or weakness in price movements while remaining sensitive to shifts in market momentum and participation.
Please change the "Pressure Length" to your desired length. Different input lengths work better on certain timeframes and securities.
How to use:
When the blue line (Weighted Pressure) reaches the bottom line (Bottom Line), the indicator indicates that the security is oversold or at a bottom.
When the blue line (Weighted Volumetric Pressure) reaches the top line (Top Line), the indicator indicates that the security is overbought or at a high.
Twiggs Money FlowTwiggs Money Flow (TMF)
This indicator is an implementation of the Twiggs Money Flow (TMF), a volume-based tool designed to measure buying and selling pressure over a specified period. TMF is an enhancement of Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), utilizing more sophisticated smoothing techniques for improved accuracy and reduced noise. This version is highly customizable and includes advanced features for both new and experienced traders.
What is Twiggs Money Flow?
Twiggs Money Flow was developed by Colin Twiggs to provide a clearer picture of market momentum and the balance between buyers and sellers. It uses a combination of price action, trading volume, and range calculations to assess whether a market is under buying or selling pressure.
Unlike traditional volume indicators, TMF incorporates Weighted Moving Averages (WMA) by default but allows for other moving average types (SMA, EMA, VWMA) for added flexibility. This makes it adaptable to various trading styles and market conditions.
Features of This Script:
Customizable Moving Average Types:
Select from SMA , EMA , WMA , or VWMA to smooth volume and price-based calculations.
Tailor the indicator to align with your trading strategy or the asset's behavior.
Optional HMA Smoothing:
Apply Hull Moving Average (HMA) smoothing for a cleaner, faster-reacting TMF line.
Perfect for traders who want to reduce lag and capture trends earlier.
Dynamic Thresholds for Signal Filtering:
Set user-defined thresholds for Long (LT) and Short (ST) signals to highlight significant momentum.
Focus on actionable trends by ignoring noise around neutral levels.
Bar Coloring for Visual Clarity:
Automatically colors your chart bars based on TMF values:
Aqua for strong bullish signals (above the long threshold).
Fuchsia for strong bearish signals (below the short threshold).
Gray for neutral or undecided market conditions.
Ensures that trend direction and strength are visually intuitive.
Configurable Lookback Period:
Adjust the sensitivity of TMF by customizing the length of the lookback period to suit different timeframes and market conditions.
How It Works:
True Range Calculation: The script determines the high, low, and close range to calculate buying and selling pressure.
Adjusted Volume: Incorporates the relationship between price and volume to gauge whether trading activity is favoring buyers or sellers.
Weighted Moving Averages (WMAs): Smooths both volume and adjusted volume values to eliminate erratic fluctuations.
TMF Line: Computes the ratio of adjusted volume to total volume, representing the net buying/selling pressure as a percentage.
HMA Option (if enabled): Smooths the TMF line further to reduce lag and enhance trend identification.
Bar Coloring Logic:
Bars are colored dynamically based on TMF values, thresholds, and smoothing preferences.
Provides an at-a-glance understanding of market conditions.
Input Parameters:
Lookback Period: Defines the number of bars used to calculate TMF (default: 21).
Use HMA Smoothing: Toggle Hull Moving Average smoothing (default: true).
HMA Smoothing Length: Length of the HMA smoothing period (default: 14).
Moving Average Type: Select SMA, EMA, WMA, or VWMA (default: WMA).
Long Threshold (LT): Threshold value above which a long signal is considered (default: 0).
Short Threshold (ST): Threshold value below which a short signal is considered (default: 0).
How to Use It:
Confirm Trends: TMF can validate trends by identifying periods of sustained buying or selling pressure.
Divergence Signals: Watch for divergences between price and TMF to anticipate potential reversals.
Filter Trades: Use the thresholds to ignore weak signals and focus on strong trends.
Combine with Other Indicators: Pair TMF with trend-following or momentum indicators (e.g., RSI, Bollinger Bands) for a comprehensive trading strategy.
Example Use Cases:
Spotting breakouts when TMF crosses above the long threshold.
Identifying sell-offs when TMF dips below the short threshold.
Avoiding sideways markets by ignoring neutral (gray) bars.
Notes:
This indicator is highly customizable, making it versatile across different assets (e.g., stocks, crypto, forex).
While the default settings are robust, tweaking the lookback period, moving average type, and thresholds is recommended for different trading instruments or strategies.
Always backtest thoroughly before applying the indicator to live trading.
This version of Twiggs Money Flow goes beyond standard implementations by offering advanced smoothing, custom thresholds, and enhanced visual feedback to give traders a competitive edge.
Add it to your charts and experience the power of volume-driven analysis!
MERCURY-PRO by DrAbhiramSivprasd“MERCURYPRO”
The MERCURYPRO indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to provide dynamic trend signals based on a combination of the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) and Standard Deviation (StDev). This indicator helps traders identify trend reversals or continuation based on the behavior of the price and momentum.
Key Features:
• Source Input: The indicator works with any price data, with the default set to close, which represents the closing price of each bar.
• Length Input: A period (default value 9) is used to determine the calculation window for the Chande Momentum Oscillator and Standard Deviation.
• Fixed CMO Length Option: Users can choose whether to use a fixed CMO length of 9 or adjust the length to the user-defined pds value.
• Calculation Method: The indicator allows switching between using the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO) or Standard Deviation (StDev) for the momentum calculation.
• Alpha: The smoothing factor used in the calculation of the MERCURYPRO value, which is based on the length of the period input (pds).
Core Calculation:
1. Momentum Calculation: The script calculates the momentum by determining the change in the source price (e.g., close) from one period to the next.
2. Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO): The positive and negative momentum components are calculated and then summed over the specified period. This value is normalized to a percentage to determine the momentum strength.
3. K Value Calculation: The script selects either the CMO or Standard Deviation (depending on the user setting) to calculate the k value, which represents the dynamic price momentum.
4. MERCURYPRO Line: The final output of the indicator, MERCURYPRO, is computed using a weighted average of the k value and the previous MERCURYPRO value. The line is smoothed using the Alpha parameter.
Plot and Signal Generation:
• Color Coding: The line is color-coded based on the direction of MERCURYPRO:
• Blue: The trend is bullish (MERCURYPRO is rising).
• Maroon: The trend is bearish (MERCURYPRO is falling).
• Default Blue: Neutral or sideways market conditions.
• Plotting: The MERCURYPRO line is plotted with varying colors depending on the trend direction.
Alerts:
• Color Change Alert: The indicator has an alert condition based on when the MERCURYPRO line crosses its previous value. This helps traders stay informed about potential trend reversals or continuation signals.
Use Case:
• Trend Confirmation: Traders can use the MERCURYPRO indicator to identify whether the market is in a strong trend or not.
• Signal for Entries/Exits: The color change and crossovers of the MERCURYPRO line can be used as entry or exit signals, depending on the trader’s strategy.
Overall Purpose:
The MERCURYPRO indicator combines momentum analysis with smoothing techniques to offer a dynamic, responsive tool for identifying market trends and potential reversals. It is particularly useful in conjunction with other technical indicators to provide confirmation for trade setups.
How to Use the MERCURYPRO Indicator:
The MERCURYPRO indicator is designed to help traders identify trend reversals and market conditions. Here are a few ways you can use it:
1. Trend Confirmation (Bullish or Bearish)
• Bullish Trend: When the MERCURYPRO line is colored Blue, it indicates a rising trend, suggesting that the market is bullish.
• Action: You can consider entering long positions when the line turns blue, or holding your existing positions if you’re already long.
• Bearish Trend: When the MERCURYPRO line is colored Maroon, it signals a downward trend, indicating a bearish market.
• Action: You may consider entering short positions or closing any long positions when the line turns maroon.
2. Trend Reversal Alerts
• Color Change: The MERCURYPRO indicator changes color when there’s a trend reversal. The alert condition triggers when the MERCURYPRO crosses above or below its previous value, signaling a potential shift in the trend.
• Action: You can use this alert as a signal to monitor potential entry or exit points for trades. For example, a crossover from maroon to blue could indicate a potential buying opportunity, while a crossover from blue to maroon could suggest a selling opportunity.
3. Use with Other Indicators for Confirmation
• While the MERCURYPRO provides valuable trend insights, it’s often more effective when used in combination with other indicators like RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD, or moving averages to confirm signals.
• Example: If MERCURYPRO turns blue and RSI is above 50, it may signal a strong bullish trend, enhancing the confidence to enter a long trade.
4. Divergence
• Watch for divergence between the MERCURYPRO line and the price chart:
• Bullish Divergence: If the price makes new lows while MERCURYPRO is showing higher lows, it suggests a potential bullish reversal.
• Bearish Divergence: If the price makes new highs while MERCURYPRO is showing lower highs, it suggests a potential bearish reversal.
Example of Use:
• Example 1: If the MERCURYPRO line changes from maroon to blue, you might enter a long position. After the MERCURYPRO line turns blue, use an alert to monitor the price action. If other indicators (like RSI) also suggest strength, your confidence in the trade will increase.
• Example 2: If the MERCURYPRO line shifts from blue to maroon, it could be a signal to close long positions and consider shorting the market if other conditions align (e.g., moving averages also turn bearish).
Warning for Using the MERCURYPRO Indicator:
1. Lagging Indicator:
• The MERCURYPRO is a lagging indicator, meaning it responds to price changes after they have occurred. This may delay entry and exit signals, and it’s crucial to combine it with other leading indicators to get timely information.
2. False Signals in Range-bound Markets:
• In choppy or sideways markets, the MERCURYPRO line can produce false signals, flipping between blue and maroon frequently without showing a clear trend. It’s important to avoid trading based on these false signals when the market is not trending.
3. Overreliance on One Indicator:
• Relying solely on MERCURYPRO can be risky. Always confirm signals with additional tools like volume analysis, price action, or other indicators to increase the accuracy of your trades.
4. Market Conditions Matter:
• The indicator may work well in trending markets, but in highly volatile or news-driven environments, it may provide misleading signals. Ensure that you take market fundamentals and external news events into consideration before acting on the indicator’s signals.
5. Risk Management:
• As with any technical indicator, MERCURYPRO is not infallible. Always use appropriate risk management techniques such as stop-loss orders to protect your capital. Never risk more than you can afford to lose on a trade.
6. Backtest First:
• Before implementing MERCURYPRO in live trading, make sure to backtest it on historical data. Test the strategy with various market conditions to assess its effectiveness and identify any potential weaknesses.
By considering these guidelines and warnings, you can use the MERCURYPRO indicator more effectively and mitigate potential risks in your trading strategy.
Average Trading Volume per Minute & Suitable Position SizeDescription:
This indicator calculates an average trading volume per minute for the specified lookback period (default 377 bars). It then estimates a suitable position size in USD (or contracts on specific exchanges) by multiplying the average volume by a user-defined percentage (default 8%). The script discards extreme data points (top and bottom 20%) before finding the median, so it provides a more robust measure of typical volume.
How It Works:
1. Each bar’s volume is converted to a USD-based figure, either by taking volume directly (if the exchange quotes in USD) or multiplying volume by the midpoint price.
2. Values are stored in an array, which is then sorted to remove the most extreme 40% (20% from each tail). The remaining 60% is used to calculate a median.
3. You enter a position size percentage (e.g. 8%), and the script multiplies the median volume-per-minute by this percentage to get your recommended position size.
4. For certain exchanges like BitMEX/Deribit, the script adapts how it treats volume (in quotes vs. base), so it can display the final position size properly (USD or contracts).
5. The script displays the result in a small table on the chart, showing the recommended position size in USD (or, for some perpetual contracts, in contract units). If no valid data is available, it indicates “Data Invalid.”
Usage Tips:
• The default Position Size Percentage is 8%. You can adjust it higher for more aggressive trading or lower for smaller exposure.
• The default lookback (Average Calculation Period) is 377 bars. Experiment with different values (e.g. 200 or 500) to capture more or fewer historical bars.
• On certain exchanges and symbols (e.g. BitMEX or Deribit’s “.P” pairs), the script automatically switches how it calculates volume (USD vs. coin-based).
• If you see “Data Invalid,” it likely means the current symbol or timeframe lacks sufficient volume info, or you’re running it on a symbol like BTC.D.
Why This Helps:
• Many traders size positions by guesswork or a fixed fraction of their account. This script instead ties position size to actual average trading volume, ensuring your position is neither too large (risk of poor fills) nor too small (wasting leverage potential).
• Removing top/bottom outliers and using the median aims to give a stable volume measure—less influenced by sudden spikes or extremely quiet bars.
Feel free to tweak the inputs and experiment with different timeframes or pairs. By aligning your position size with typical market liquidity, you can potentially improve overall trade execution and manage risk more effectively.
Chaikin Oscillator with StdDev MarkersJust a Chaikin Oscillator slightly tuned to show extreme changes in A/D momentum.
- Red histogram means the fast EMA is way above the slow EMA (strong distribution).
- Green histogram means the fast EMA is way below the slow EMA (strong accumulation).
Divergences are also easy to identify. When the price pushes more than the histogram, hidden selling could be taking place near tops, and when the price drops but the histogram doesn't follow, accumulation could be taking place.
This, coupled with VSA analysis, is all you'll ever need to understand price action.
Breadth of Volatility The Breadth of Volatility (BoV) is an indicator designed to help traders understand the activity and volatility of the market. It focuses on analyzing how fast prices are moving and how much trading volume is driving those movements. By combining these two factors—price speed and volume strength—the BoV provides a single value that reflects the current level of market activity. This can help traders identify when the market is particularly active or calm, which is useful for planning trading strategies.
The speed component of the BoV measures how quickly prices are moving compared to their recent average. This is done by using a metric called the Average True Range (ATR), which calculates the typical size of price movements over a specific period. The BoV compares the current price change to this average, showing whether the market is moving faster or slower than usual. Faster price movements generally indicate higher volatility, which might signal opportunities for active traders.
The strength component focuses on the role of trading volume in price changes. It multiplies the trading volume by the size of the price movement to create a value called volume strength. This value is then compared to the highest volume strength seen over a recent period, which helps gauge whether the current price action is being strongly supported by trading activity. When the strength value is high, it suggests that market participants are actively trading and supporting the price movement.
These two components—speed and strength—are averaged to calculate the Breadth of Volatility value. While the formula also includes a placeholder for a third component (related to fundamental analysis), it is currently inactive and does not influence the final value. The BoV is displayed as a line on a chart, with a zero line for reference. Positive BoV values indicate heightened market activity and volatility, while values near zero suggest a quieter market. This indicator is particularly helpful for new traders to monitor market conditions and adjust their strategies accordingly, whether they’re focusing on trend-following or waiting for calmer periods for more conservative trades.
