Ultimate Volume (UV) Supply/Demand Absorption [cI8DH]This is a variant of my ADV indicator which adds low/high volume trend, supply/demand absorption detection and separate buy/sell volume moving averages. When aggregation is set to cumulative, it can replicate my ADL indicator as well. It shows both regular volume bars and the accumulated/distributed (A/D) portions of volume.
Green line shows buy volume/accumulation and red line shows sell volume/distribution. This can help with assessing buy/sell pressure (read "why invent a new indicator" for more info about why this is more accurate than CMF , MFI, OBV and Williams AD for this purpose).
Volume trend shows high and low volume periods in blue and yellow respectively. This could help with avoiding over-trading during low market activity periods.
Supply/demand absorption is shown at the top (below volume trend). It shows that market is resisting the trend which could most often lead to sideways or minor/major trend change. Darker colors show stronger resistance. This feature is configured with two parameters that might require tuning depending on the asset and time frame.
The equation to calculate accumulation/distribution (A/D) is elegant and intuitive. It calculates candle body to candle height ratio and multiplies it by volume: volume*(close-open)/(high-low). This is the building block of my three other indicators ADMF , ADP and ADL ( UMF includes all these three indicators). The volume bars has two shades of green and red. The dark shade shows amount of A/D and the light shade shows total volume (what you see on a regular volume indicator).
When money volume is enabled, volume is multiplied by price. As you can see in the chart below, trade volume in terms of USD was growing over the past years while it has not made a new ATH in terms of the instrument (BTC).
Notes
- Uncheck "Money Volume" for Bitmex or any other exchange that shows volume in terms of money.
- Smooth MA length N = EMA length 2*N-1
- Combined tickers, e.g. (COINBASE:BTCUSD+BITSTAMP:BTCUSD+KRAKEN:XBTUSD)/3, can mitigate inconsistency issues between different exchanges (I recommend not mixing USD and USDT pairs together)
Here is a TL;DR list of my indicators to save you some time from looking at my obsolete indicators.
On Balance Volume (OBV)
On Balance VolumeThis indicator was originally described by Joseph E. Granville in his book "Granville's New Key To Stock Market Profits" (1963).
Variable Volume Oscillator v1 [NeoButane]These are volume based indicators put onto an oscillator by using SMA for most of them. Most volume based indicators are leading indicators so you may find a use for each of them. The WMA is a length of 21, as suggested by the original inventor of OBV. It is useful for crosses and determining future moves.
What's currently included:
OBV Oscillator, remade. The formula has been changed to smooth out the way OBV is calculated during a trending move
OBV Oscillator, original OBV formula.
Price Volume Trend Oscillator. Similar to OBV, except price is taken into account as well.
Price Volume Trend Oscillator, log.
Accumulation/Distribution. (close - low) - (high - close) / (high - low), then multiplied by volume
Chaikin Money Flow. Very similar to accum/dist except it was already made into an oscillator.
OBV just by itself
Experimental function that utilizes a part of CCI
Volume+ by BDthis is a simple volume indicator,

On Balance Volume Oscillator + Bollinger Bands [SigmaDraconis]On Balance Volume (OBV) Oscillator with Bollinger Bands (BB).
Inspired by @LazyBear OBV Oscillator (link below)
Added BB to the oscillator and colored the OBV line yellow when it's outside the bands' limits, useful for finding over-extended zones where price reversals have higher probability of happening.
BB bands can be deactivated and the oscillator can be used as originally built by LazyBear if the BB bands are disabled and the OBV area activated.
Finding divergences helps increasing price behavior predictability too.
BB area is colored green when OBV is above the 20-period moving average and colored red when below it. This can be deactivated on the options to use regular BB colors or no BB at all.

OBV Oscillator from LazyBear -
Ultimate Money Flow (UMF), Stoch, Multi Time Frame (MTF) [cI8DH]This indicator adds stochastic, multi time frame, signal line, histogram, and bar coloring options to my previous indicators. It can also replicate standard Money Flow Index ( MFI ), Chaikin's Accumulation/Distribution Line ( ADL ), On Balance Volume ( OBV ) and Price-Volume Trend ( PVT ). This indicator can be used for analyzing momentum, buy/sell pressure, overbought/oversold conditions, and trendiness/choppiness, as well as identifying swings (stoch). Chart below shows example multi-TF setup with bar coloring.
For analyzing price, I made a similar indicator based on Absolute and Relative Strength Indices, which you can find in the link below.
Equation
Here is part of the code used in the script: pastebin.com
Standard MFI, OBV, ADL and PVT
To validate the calculations, I stacked UMF on MFI, OBV, ADL, and PVT in the chart below (100% overlaps validate the calculations). It also shows how you can replicate these indicator if you'd like to use them, or if you want to make your own custom indicator by combining features from different indicators. I do not recommend MFI, ADL or OBV; read "why invent a new indicator" section below. (bear in mind that MFI scale is 0-100, while UMF scales is -100 to 100)
Money Flow based on "Balance of Power" (this is the default mode)
Balance of Power (BoP) equation is: (close - open) / (high - low)
In my opinion, BoP is the most accurate equation to measure the amount of volume accumulated or distributed. I used BoP in my previous open source indicators ADV , ADL , ADP and ADMF . I applied the "True Range" fix to BoP equation similar to what Twiggs did on CMF .
Aggregation Method
By changing aggregation methods, you can replicate my previous indicators which are also linked at the bottom of this page. Please read more about their applications in their respective pages.
aggregation method = Cumulative => ADL indicator: accumulation/distribution (price factoring should be turned off)
aggregation method = MA => ADMF indicator: accurate buy/sell pressure, momentum and divergence
aggregation method = MA Percent => ADP indicator: overbought/oversold conditions, buy/sell pressure, momentum and divergence, failure swings
Smoothing, signal line and histogram to detect trend and choppiness
You can apply additional smoothing to UMF. Also, you can add a signal line and histogram (histogram is the difference between main line and signal line). To do so, set the signal length to a number greater than one. Signal line can help you detect changes in trend similar to the signal line on MACD. If signal line criss-crosses UMF, it shows market is choppy. The worst case is when this criss-crossing coincides with UMF flattening near neutral line and histogram height is short; that means market is ded (until it is not; expansion following a contraction period is a common phenomena)! (Bear in mind that histogram will not show in stoch mode.)
Stochastic
To enable stoch, change the stoch length to a number greater than 1 (default stoch length for the built-in stoch RSI is 14). This length should be calibrated depending on TF and asset. If done correctly, it can be a powerful tool for identifying swings. Stoch can be combined with any aggregation method. I recommend using stoch with MA or cumulative aggregation methods. For conventional uses of stochastic, please read www.tradingview.com(STOCH) and www.tradingview.com(STOCH_RSI).
Experimental Bar coloring Feature
There is an option to color bars depending on UMF's position relative to the signal line. If both TFs are used in coloring and they are in disagreement, the TF with greater histogram height wins. There are two shades of green and red. The darker shade means both TFs agree. If you use the signal line, bar coloring can help with calibrating the indicator (play with parameters until you see a good looking chart i.e. a lot of green candles followed by a lot of red candles in a row). Please note that bar colors might change until candle(s) close(s). The bar coloring rules will most likely change in the future.
Notes
- Uncheck "Factor Price" for Bitmex or any other exchange that shows volume in terms of money.
- UMF is a replacement to ADP , ADMF and ADL , so no more updates for the old indicators!
- Smooth MA length N = EMA length 2*N-1
- Combined tickers, e.g. (COINBASE:BTCUSD+BITSTAMP:BTCUSD+KRAKEN:XBTUSD)/3, can mitigate inconsistency issues between different exchanges (I recommend not mixing USD and USDT pairs together)
Why invent a new indicator
I have spent a great deal of time to find the best equation that represents accumulation/distribution. Each of the well-known methods have a major flaw.
- Winner-take-all problem
MFI, OBV and to some extent Williams AD assign accumulation or distribution based on the direction of change in price. They don't account for the amount of change. That means the indicator does not differentiate between a full candle and a doji candle.
- Extreme divergence problem
Chaikin tried to avoid winner-take-all problem. However, he ended up with a solution that, in my opinion, is even worse. A big flaw of Chaikin's indicators is that they can diverge too much from price. Most responsive indicators in this class, require at least two candles to diverge from price, but CMF/ADL can diverge in a single candle. Chaikin used the same component ( aka Chaikin's money flow multiplier) in both CMF and ADL. CMF 's flaws may not be as visible because it is a normalized oscillator. However, this common flaw is more evident in accum/dist indicator which keeps all past information in its memory. As you can see in the chart below, accum/dist is constantly rising during an obviously distribution period.

Enhanced On Balance VolumeEnhanced On Balance Volume
"On-balance volume (OBV) is a momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict changes in stock price.
Joseph Granville first developed the OBV metric in the 1960s.
He believed that when volume increases sharply without a significant change in the stock's price, the price will eventually jump upward, and vice versa."
The On Balance Volume generalizes.
Only the direction of change is taken into consideration, making the price irrelevant.
Enhanced On Balance Volume comes to life when the entire price action is being considered - the lows and highs.
// I looked around on TradingView and there was no such indicator.
// This is a version of the well known On Balance Volume, ported to Pinescript, meant for markets with volume data.
MCI and VCI - Modified CCI FormulasFor private peeps only
- Takes a modified version of the CCI formula into 2 parts
VCI - Volume Channel Index (Yellow Histogram)
- Measures accurate accumulation and distribution levels and times
MCI - Modified Channel Index
- Measures (when compared to VCI) levels where clearly buys are interested vs not interested.
Example:
If VCI > MCI
- Shows buyer's are more than interested in buying, you've either hit a bottom or heavy resistance
if MCI > VCI
- Show's buyer's aren't interested and will most likely result in a dump/lower price
Great for monitoring accumulation and distribution, these auto buy and sells look for the transition points over 0, works on EVERY commodity/stock/FOREX/Crypto

NeoIchi
The idea of this oscillator / indicator came from Ichimoku , how it draws and how it calculates different averages in different scales.
The formula used for this indicator is totally different from Ichimoku , as you can compare the left and right charts, with same setting between my indicator and ichimoku , different results show up.
The inputs that you can use for this indicator/oscillator :
1- HLC3 (better to through it on the chart just like ichimoku
2- acceleration - deceleration (set the first parameter to 5 and the second to 34 for standard calculations)
3- pure volume
4- OBV ( On Balance Volume )
5- Bill Williams MFI ( Market Facilitation Index )
6- Momentum : This one can have different options : set with Barry Burn's formula and bar scale for when the charts are 1 to 3 ratio (B 3) or when they are not 1 to 3 (B), Bill William standard (W), Hybrid with barry's input (Would be bar close but I replaced it with HLC3, better results) but Bill William time scale for calculations (H), and finally, use Bill Williams MFI as input but use Barry Burn's time scales in formula (H M)
If you have any specific input in mind that you think would be nice to have in this system, through a comment bellow and I will add it to the system.

BitMEX Funding Toolbox [NeoButane]BitMEX's funding rates as described on their website.
Usage of the indicator:
Cumulative funding is a running sum of funding, similar to OBV. The idea is that funding can be used to predict current sentiment or market direction. The blue line is cumulative funding and the orange is a MVWAP used as a signal to determine current trend. Longs are paid when the blue line is going down.
Cumulative funding oscillator is the running sum of funding but made to be able to discern more recent trends.
Funding rate and premium index is as the name states.
Pictures of funding directly from BitMEX's funding history: imgur.com
The indicator will auto-select XBTUSD or ETHUSD depending which ticker is currently being viewed; if it is not on bitcoin or ethereum it defaults to XBTUSD funding.
