Ross Givens Volume
Aktualisiert
Volume is probably the most overlooked indicator by new traders. The buying and selling activity of large funds and institutions is the main driver of stock prices, and recognizing this activity is crucial to identifying future price movements.
This script has several elements not found in standard volume indicators:
POCKET PIVOTS
Pocket Pivots are the work of Gil Morales and Chris Kacher - authors of "Trade Line an O'Neil Disciple."
A pocket pivot is an up day with volume that is greater than the highest down volume day of the last 10 down days. These are also referred to as "10-day pocket pivots ."
A pocket pivot is not a buy signal by itself. But this is a constructive sign for a stock coming out of a base or wedging pattern. When a stock is trading in a tight consolidation range and then breaks out above resistance to a new high, I like to see a pocket pivot to give confirmation for the move.
VOLUME MOVING AVERAGE
There is a simple moving average applied to the volume chart. By default, it is set to a period of 50.
This line is a quick way to see how much volume a stock sees on average and whether or not the current volume is above or below that level. The moving average is white by default, so you will want to change the color if your charts have a light background.
HIGHEST UP VOLUME IN A YEAR
When a stock sees its highest up volume in a year or more, this is a strong indication of heavy institutional buying. This script looks back at the last 252 daily candles (there are 252 trading days in a year) and paints the candle fucshia if it has the highest up day volume over that period.
The color and time period can be changed in the settings. Volume on down days are not factored into the equation since we are only looking for the heaviest buying day of the last year.
NOTE: This feature will only display on a daily chart.
UP/DOWN VOLUME RATIO
The up/down volume ratio compares up versus down volume . Specifically, it calculates the total volume on advancing days vs the total volume on declining days over the last 50 sessions.
The ratio is displayed in a small table in the upper right corner of the volume indicator panel. A ratio above 1.0 is a bullish sign and will paint the cell green, while a ratio below 1.0 will paint red as a bearish signal.
AVERAGE $ VOLUME
Another cell in the upper right corner of the indicator displays the average daily trading volume in dollars. This is simply the average daily volume multiplied by the price of the stock.
The Average $ Volume will quickly tell you how much money trades through a stock in a given day. Investors trading larger size can see if the stock is too thin to handle their usual position size.
VOLUME COLORS
- Pocket pivots are BRIGHT GREEN
- Regular up volume days are GREEN
- Down volume days are RED
You have the option to change these colors in the settings. You can also toggle on or off the Moving Average, Pocket Pivots , Highest Volume Up Day, U/D ratio, and Avg $ Vol.
Please leave any questions you have in the comment section and I will do my best to answer them.

Versionshinweise
The pocket pivot code has been updated. They will now only trigger if the close is in the upper half of the bar. If a high volume day closes in the lower half of the day's range, that is a less bullish signal since buyers did not "win" the day. A true pocket pivot should close the session in the upper half of its range.
