Smarter Money Concepts - OBs [PhenLabs]📊 Smarter Money Concepts - OBs
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
Smarter Money Concepts - OBs (Order Blocks) is an advanced technical analysis tool designed to identify and visualize institutional order zones on your charts. Order blocks represent significant areas of liquidity where smart money has entered positions before major moves. By tracking these zones, traders can anticipate potential reversals, continuations, and key reaction points in price action.
This indicator incorporates volume filtering technology to identify only the most significant order blocks, eliminating low-quality signals and focusing on areas where institutional participation is likely present. The combination of price structure analysis and volume confirmation provides traders with high-probability zones that may attract future price action for tests, rejections, or breakouts.

📖 Usage Guidelines
Order Block Settings
Scan Range : Default: 25. Defines how many bars the indicator scans to determine significant structure points for order block identification.
Bull Break Price Source : Default: Close. Determines which price component is used to detect bullish breaks of structure.
Bear Break Price Source : Default: Close. Determines which price component is used to detect bearish breaks of structure.
Visual Settings
Bullish Blocks Color : Default: Blue with 85% transparency. Controls the appearance of bullish order blocks.
Bearish Blocks Color : Default: Red with 85% transparency. Controls the appearance of bearish order blocks.
General Options
Block Mitigation Method : Default: Wick, Options: Wick, Close. Determines how block mitigation is calculated - “Wick” uses high/low values while “Close” uses close values for more conservative mitigation criteria.
Remove Filled Blocks : Default: Disabled. When enabled, order blocks are removed once they’ve been mitigated by price action.
Volume Filter
Volume Filter Enabled : Default: Enabled. When activated, only shows order blocks formed with significant volume relative to recent average.
Volume SMA Period : Default: 15, Range: 1-50. Number of periods used to calculate the average volume baseline.
Min. Volume Ratio : Default: 1.5, Range: 0.5-10.0. Minimum volume ratio compared to average required to display an order block; higher values filter out more blocks.
✅ Best Use Cases
Identifying high-probability support and resistance zones for trade entries and exits
Finding optimal stop-loss placement behind significant order blocks
Detecting potential reversal areas where price may react after extended moves
Confirming breakout trades when price clears major order blocks
Building a comprehensive market structure map for medium to long-term trading decisions
Pinpointing areas where smart money may have positioned before major market moves
⚠️ Limitations
Most effective on higher timeframes (1H and above) where institutional activity is more clearly defined
Can generate multiple signals in choppy market conditions, requiring additional filtering
Volume filtering relies on accurate volume data, which may be less reliable for some securities
Recent market structure changes may invalidate older order blocks not yet automatically removed
Block identification is based on historical price action and may not predict future behavior with certainty
💡 What Makes This Unique
Volume Intelligence : Unlike basic order block indicators, this script incorporates volume analysis to identify only the most significant institutional zones, focusing on quality over quantity.
Structural Precision : Uses sophisticated break of structure algorithms to identify true market turning points, going beyond simple price pattern recognition.
Dynamic Block Management : Implements automatic block tracking, extension, and cleanup to maintain a clean and relevant chart display without manual intervention.
Institutional Focus : Designed specifically to highlight areas where smart money has likely positioned, helping retail traders align with institutional perspectives rather than retail noise.
🔬 How It Works
1. Structure Identification Process :
The indicator continuously scans price action to identify significant swing points and structure levels within the specified range, establishing a foundation for order block recognition.
2. Break Detection :
When price breaks an established structure level (crossing below a significant low for bearish breaks or above a significant high for bullish breaks), the indicator marks this as a potential zone for order block formation.
3. Volume Qualification :
For each potential order block, the algorithm calculates the relative volume compared to the configured period average. Only blocks formed with volume exceeding the minimum ratio threshold are displayed.
4. Block Creation and Management :
Valid order blocks are created, tracked, and managed as price continues to develop. Blocks extend to the right of the chart until they are either mitigated by price action or expire after the designated timeframe.
5. Continuous Monitoring :
The indicator constantly evaluates price interaction with existing blocks, determining when blocks have been tested, mitigated, or invalidated, and updates the visual representation accordingly.
💡 Note:
Order Blocks represent areas where institutional traders have likely established positions and may defend these zones during future price visits. For optimal results, use this indicator in conjunction with other confluent factors such as key support/resistance levels, trendlines, or additional confirmation indicators. The most reliable signals typically occur on higher timeframes where institutional activity is most prominent. Start with the default settings and adjust parameters gradually to match your specific trading instrument and style.
Volumen
RSI-Volume Momentum Signal ScoreRSI-Volume Momentum Signal Score
Description
The RSI-Volume Momentum Signal Score is a predictive technical indicator designed to identify bullish and bearish momentum shifts by combining volume-based momentum with the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It generates a Signal Score derived from:
• The divergence between short-term and long-term volume (Volume Oscillator), and
• RSI positioning relative to a user-defined threshold.
This hybrid approach helps traders detect early signs of price movement based on volume surges and overbought/oversold conditions.
The Signal Score is computed as follows:
Signal Score = Volume Momentum x RSI Divergence Factor
Volume Momentum = tanh ((Volume Oscillator value (vo) – Volume Threshold)/Scaling Factor)
RSI Divergence Factor = ((RSI Threshold – RSI Period)/Scaling Factor)
Or,
Signal Score = tanh((vo - voThreshold) / scalingFactor) * ((rsiThreshold - rsi) / scalingFactor)
The logic of this formula are as follows:
• If Volume Oscillator >= Volume Threshold and RSI <= RSI Threshold: Bullish Signal (+1 x Scaling Factor)
• If Volume Oscillator >= Volume Threshold and RSI >= (100 – RSI Threshold): Bearish Signal (-1 x Scaling Factor)
• Otherwise: Neutral (0)
The tanh function provides the normalization process. It ensures that the final signal score is bounded between -1 and 1, increases sensitivity to early changes in volume patterns based on RSI conditions, and prevent sudden jumps in signals ensuring smooth and continuous signal line.
Input Fields
The input fields allow users to customize the behavior of the indicator based on their trading strategy:
Short-Term Volume MA
- Default: `2`
- Description: The period for the short-term moving average of volume.
- Purpose: Captures short-term volume trends.
Long-Term Volume MA)
- Default: `10`
- Description: The period for the long-term moving average of volume.
- Purpose: Captures long-term volume trends for comparison with the short-term trend.
RSI Period)
- Default: `3`
- Description: The period for calculating the RSI.
- Purpose: Measures the relative strength of price movements over the specified period.
Volume Oscillator Threshold
- Default: `70`
- Description: The threshold for the Volume Oscillator to determine significant volume momentum.
- Purpose: Filters out weak volume signals.
RSI Threshold
- Default: `25`
- Description: The RSI level used to identify overbought or oversold conditions.
- Purpose: Helps detect potential reversals in price momentum.
Signal Scaling Factor
- Default: `10`
- Description: A multiplier for the signal score.
- Purpose: Adjusts the magnitude of the signal score for better visualization.
How To Use It for Trading:
Upcoming Bullish Signal: Signal line turns from Gray to Green or from Green to Gray
Upcoming Bearish Signal: Signal line turns from Gray to Red or from Red to Gray
Note: The price that corresponds to the transition of Signal line from Gray to Green or Red and vise versa is the signal price for upcoming bullish or bearish signal.
The signal score dynamically adjusts based on volume and RSI thresholds, making it adaptable to various market conditions, and this is what makes the indicator unique from other traditional indicators.
Unique Features
Unlike traditional indicators, this indicator combines two different dimensions—volume trends and RSI divergence—for more comprehensive signal generation. The use of tanh() to scale and smooth the signal is a mathematically elegant way to manage signal noise and highlight genuine trends. Traders can tune the scaling factor and thresholds to adapt the indicator for scalping, swing trading, or longer-term investing.
Volumatic Trend [ChartPrime]
A unique trend-following indicator that blends trend logic with volume visualization, offering a dynamic view of market momentum and activity. It automatically detects trend shifts and paints volume histograms at key levels, allowing traders to easily spot strength or weakness within trends.
⯁ KEY FEATURES
Trend Detection System:
Uses a custom combination of weighted EMA (swma) and regular EMA to detect trend direction.
A diamond appears on trend shift, indicating the starting point of a new bullish or bearish phase.
Volume Histogram Zones:
At each new trend, the indicator draws two horizontal zones (top and bottom) and visualizes volume activity within that trend using dynamic histogram candles.
Gradient-Based Candle Coloring:
Candle color is blended with a gradient based on volume intensity. This helps highlight where volume spikes occurred, making it easy to identify pressure points.
Volume Summary Labels:
A label at the end of each trend zone displays two critical values:
- Delta: net volume difference between bullish and bearish bars.
- Total: overall volume accumulated during the trend.
⯁ HOW TO USE
Monitor diamond markers to identify when a new trend begins.
Use volume histogram spikes to assess if the trend is supported by strong volume or lacking participation.
A high delta with strong total volume in a trend indicates institutional support.
Compare gradient strength of candles—brighter areas represent higher-volume trading activity.
Can be used alone or combined with other confirmation tools like structure breaks, liquidity sweeps, or order blocks.
⯁ CONCLUSION
Volumatic Trend gives you more than just trend direction—it provides insight into the force behind it. With volume-graded candles and real-time histogram overlays, traders can instantly assess whether a trend is backed by conviction or fading strength. A perfect tool for swing traders and intraday strategists looking to add volume context to their directional setups.
Consecutive CandlesSummary
This indicator helps visualize short-term momentum by automatically drawing boxes around sequences of consecutive same-colored candles (bullish or bearish). It's designed to quickly highlight periods of sustained buying or selling pressure directly on your chart.
How it Works
Consecutive Candle Detection: The script monitors the chart bar by bar, tracking consecutive candles where close > open (bullish) or close < open (bearish).
Box Drawing: When a sequence of same-colored candles reaches a user-defined minimum length (default is 3) and this sequence is then broken by an opposite-colored candle or a doji, a box is drawn.
Box Boundaries:
The top of the box is set to the highest high price reached during the sequence.
The bottom of the box is set to the lowest low price reached during the sequence.
The left edge of the box aligns with the start time of the first candle in the sequence.
The right edge of the box aligns with the end time of the last candle in the sequence.
Stability: Uses xloc = xloc.bar_time to ensure boxes remain accurately anchored to the price bars when zooming or panning the chart.
Real-time Extension: For active sequences meeting the minimum length on the latest developing bar, the box is optionally extended to the right.
Features
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bullish candles.
Automatically identifies and boxes sequences of 3 or more (customizable) consecutive bearish candles.
Extends box in real-time for active qualifying sequences.
Customizable minimum candle count (>= 2).
Customizable colors for bullish/bearish boxes and borders.
Settings
You can customize the indicator via the Settings menu (gear icon):
Minimum Consecutive Candles: Define how many candles in a row are needed to draw a box (Default: 3).
Bullish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bullish sequences.
Bearish Box Color: Set the fill color for boxes around bearish sequences.
Box Border Color: Set the color for the border of all boxes.
Potential Use Cases
Momentum Identification: Quickly spot periods of strong, uninterrupted buying or selling.
Exhaustion/Reversal Signals: Very long sequences might indicate potential exhaustion, setting up reversal opportunities.
Consolidation Breakouts: A box forming after a period of tight consolidation can highlight the range just before a potential breakout.
Confirmation: Use the boxes as confirmation for entries or exits based on momentum shifts.
Disclaimer: This indicator provides visual aids based on price action. It should not be used as a standalone trading system. Always use indicators in conjunction with your own analysis and risk management rules.

Best used on lower timeframes for precision scalping.
Accumulation-Distribution CandlesThis structural visualization tool maps each candle through the lens of Effort vs. Result, blending Volume, Range, and closing bias into a normalized pressure score. Candle bodies are dynamically color-coded using a five-tier system—from heavy accumulation to heavy distribution—revealing where energy is building, dispersing, or neutral. This helps to visually isolate Markup, Markdown, Re-accumulation, and Distribution at a glance.
The indicator calculates a strength score by multiplying price result (close minus open) by effort (volume or price range), smoothing this raw value using a Fibonacci-based EMA. (34 for standard, 55 for crypto; the higher crypto value acknowledges that 24/7 trading offers more hours per week or month than trad markets.) The result is standardized against its rolling deviation and clamped to a range. This score determines the visual tier:
• 💙 Dark Blue = heavy Accumulation (strong upward result on strong effort)
• 🩵 Pale Blue = mild Accumulation
• 🌚 Gray = neutral (low conviction or balance)
• 💛 Pale Yellow = mild Distribution
• 🧡 Deep Yellow = heavy Distribution (strong downward result on strong effort)
The tool is optimized for the 1D chart, where Wyckoff phases are most clearly expressed. However, it adapts well to lower timeframes when used selectively. Traders may hide the body coloring and enable only zone highlighting to preserve other candle overlays such as SUPeR TReND 2.718, which offers directional clarity and trend duration. This combination is especially useful on intraday charts (15m–1H) where microstructure matters but visual clutter must be avoided.
When used alongside other Volume overlays (such as the OBVX Conviction Bias) or Volatility indicators (such as the Asymmetric Turbulence Ribbon (ATR)), this indicator adds confluence to directional setups by contextualizing pressure with Volatility. For example: compression zones marked by ATR may align with persistent pale blue candles—indicating quiet Accumulation before expansion.
Optional Overlays:
Normally ON -
• 📌 Pin Bars , filtered by volume, to isolate wick-dominant reversals from key zones
• 💪🏻 Strong-Body Candles — fuchsia candles w/ high body-to-range ratio reflect conviction
• 🧯 Wick Absorption Candles — red candles w/ long wicks and low closing strength indicate failed pushes or absorbed breakouts
• 🟦/🟧 Zone Highlighting for candles above a defined Accumulation/Distribution threshold
Normally OFF -
• 🔺 Fractals (5-bar) to map swing pivots by underlying pressure tier (normally OFF)
• 🟥/🟩 Engulfing patterns, filtered by directional conviction (normally OFF)
The Pin Bar strategy benefits most from the zone logic—when a bullish pin bar appears in an Accumulation zone (esp. pale or dark blue), and Volume exceeds its rolling average, it may mark a spring or failed breakdown. Conversely, bearish pins in Distribution zones can mark rejection or resistance.
This is not a signal engine—it’s a narrative filter designed to slot cleanly into a multi-layered workflow of visual structure and informed execution. Use it to identify bias and phase. Then deploy trade triggers from tools like SUPeR TReND 2.718, or the liquidity flows shown the The Silver Lining or the AltSeasonality - MTF indicators, for example. The candle colors tell you who’s in control—the other tools tell you when to act.
Impulse Candle with Volume & Std AnalysisImpulse Candle with Volume & Std Analysis
This indicator highlights “impulse” candles on your chart by combining price action and volume analysis to gauge the strength of market moves.
How It Works:
Impulse Candle Detection:
The indicator measures the candle’s body size and compares it to the Average True Range (ATR). When a candle’s body exceeds a user-defined multiple of the ATR (the “Impulse Factor”), it is flagged as an impulse candle.
Volume Analysis:
For each impulse candle, the indicator calculates the expected volume (Impulse Factor × average volume) and compares the actual volume against this expected value. It uses the standard deviation of volume over a specified period to classify the move’s volume as:
Extreme Low: More than 2 standard deviations below the expected volume
Low: Between 1 and 2 standard deviations below expected
Normal: Within 1 standard deviation of expected volume
High: Between 1 and 2 standard deviations above expected
Extreme High: More than 2 standard deviations above expected
Visual Cues:
The impulse candles are color-coded based on the volume classification.
A text-only label (with customizable text color) appears just above each impulse candle, indicating its volume category. The label has no background, ensuring a clean, unobtrusive look.
Customization:
Users can adjust parameters such as the Impulse Factor, ATR length, and volume averaging period to tailor the indicator to their trading style.
This tool is perfect for traders who want a quick visual representation of both significant price moves and the corresponding volume strength behind those moves.
Volume Spikes Pro - relative volume comparisonThe Enhanced Volume Spike Detector builds on the basic relative volume comparison by adding price direction analysis and more sophisticated categorization of volume events.
Directional Analysis
This indicator doesn't just identify volume spikes, but categorizes them as:
- **Bullish**: Volume spike with upward price movement
- **Bearish**: Volume spike with downward price movement
- **Neutral**: Volume spike with minimal price change
- **Strong**: Exceptional volume spike (2.5x+ default) regardless of direction
Visual Classification
Different color schemes instantly communicate the volume spike type:
- Green for bullish volume (price rising)
- Red for bearish volume (price falling)
- Dark Green for strong bullish volume
- Dark Red for strong bearish volume (price falling)
Customization Tips
- For day trading or short timeframes: Consider reducing MA length to 10-15
- For swing trading: The default 20 is appropriate
- For position trading or longer timeframes: Consider increasing to 30-50
- For more selective signals: Increase multiplier to 2.0 or higher
- For more comprehensive detection: Decrease multiplier to 1.3-1.4
Volume Flow with Bollinger Bands and EMA Cross SignalsThe Volume Flow with Bollinger Bands and EMA Cross Signals indicator is a custom technical analysis tool designed to identify potential buy and sell signals based on several key components:
Volume Flow: This component combines price movement and trading volume to create a signal that indicates the strength or weakness of price movements. When the price is rising with increasing volume, it suggests strong buying activity, whereas falling prices with increasing volume indicate strong selling pressure.
Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands consist of three lines:
The Basis (middle line), which is a Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the price over a set period.
The Upper Band, which is the Basis plus a multiple of the standard deviation (typically 2).
The Lower Band, which is the Basis minus a multiple of the standard deviation. Bollinger Bands help identify periods of high volatility and potential overbought/oversold conditions. When the price touches the upper band, it might indicate that the market is overbought, while touching the lower band might indicate oversold conditions.
EMA Crossovers: The script includes two Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs):
Fast EMA: A shorter-term EMA, typically more sensitive to price changes.
Slow EMA: A longer-term EMA, responding slower to price changes. The crossover of the Fast EMA crossing above the Slow EMA (bullish crossover) signals a potential buy opportunity, while the Fast EMA crossing below the Slow EMA (bearish crossover) signals a potential sell opportunity.
Background Color and Candle Color: The indicator highlights the chart's background with specific colors based on the signals:
Green background for buy signals.
Yellow background for sell signals. Additionally, the candles are colored green for buy signals and yellow for sell signals to visually reinforce the trade opportunities.
Buy/Sell Labels: Small labels are placed on the chart:
"BUY" label in green is placed below the bar when a buy signal is generated.
"SELL" label in yellow is placed above the bar when a sell signal is generated.
Working of the Indicator:
Volume Flow Calculation: The Volume Flow is calculated by multiplying the price change (current close minus the previous close) with the volume. This product is then smoothed with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) over a user-defined period (length). The result is then multiplied by a multiplier to adjust its sensitivity.
Price Change = close - close
Volume Flow = Price Change * Volume
Smoothed Volume Flow = SMA(Volume Flow, length)
The Volume Flow Signal is then: Smooth Volume Flow * Multiplier
This calculation represents the buying or selling pressure in the market.
Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands are calculated using the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the closing price (basis) and the Standard Deviation (stdev) of the price over a period defined by the user (bb_length).
Basis (Middle Band) = SMA(close, bb_length)
Upper Band = Basis + (bb_std_dev * Stdev)
Lower Band = Basis - (bb_std_dev * Stdev)
The upper and lower bands are plotted alongside the price to identify the price's volatility. When the price is near the upper band, it could be overbought, and near the lower band, it could be oversold.
EMA Crossovers: The Fast EMA and Slow EMA are calculated using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) function. The crossovers are detected by checking:
Buy Signal (Bullish Crossover): When the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA.
Sell Signal (Bearish Crossover): When the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA.
The long_condition variable checks if the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, and the short_condition checks if it crosses below.
Visual Signals:
Background Color: The background is colored green for a buy signal and yellow for a sell signal. This gives an immediate visual cue to the trader.
Bar Color: The candles are colored green for buy signals and yellow for sell signals.
Labels:
A "BUY" label in green appears below the bar when the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA.
A "SELL" label in yellow appears above the bar when the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA.
Summary of Buy/Sell Logic:
Buy Signal:
The Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA (bullish crossover).
Volume flow is positive, indicating buying pressure.
Background turns green and candles are colored green.
A "BUY" label appears below the bar.
Sell Signal:
The Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA (bearish crossover).
Volume flow is negative, indicating selling pressure.
Background turns yellow and candles are colored yellow.
A "SELL" label appears above the bar.
Usage of the Indicator:

This ensures that only significant price swings are plotted, reducing noise and increasing
clarity.
- Straight lines connect swing highs and lows, providing a cleaner visual representation of
the trend.
2. Cycle Analysis Table:
- A dynamic table is included to analyze price cycles based on three key factors:
- Price Change: Measures the magnitude of each swing (high-to-low or low-to-high).
- Time Duration (Bar Count): Tracks the number of bars elapsed between consecutive swings,
offering precise timing insights.
- Volume: Analyzes trading volume during each segment of the cycle.
- The indicator calculates the **maximum**, **minimum**, and **mean** values for each
parameter across all completed cycles, providing deeper statistical insights into market
behavior.
- This table updates in real-time, offering traders a quantitative understanding of how price
behaves over different cycles.
3. Real-Time Data Integration:
- The indicator displays live updates of current price action relative to the last identified
swing high/low. This includes:
- Current distance from the last pivot point.
- Percentage change since the last pivot.
- Volume traded since the last pivot.
4. Fibonacci Retracement Levels:
- Integrated Fibonacci retracement levels are dynamically calculated based on the most
recent significant swing high and low.
- Key retracement levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6%) are plotted alongside the Zig
Zag lines, helping traders identify potential support/resistance zones.
- Extension levels (100%, 161.8%, etc.) are also included to anticipate possible breakout
targets.
5. Customizable Alerts:
- Users can configure alerts for specific real-time conditions, such as:
- Price Change
- Duration
- Volume
- Fibonacci Retracement Levels
How It Works:
1. Zig Zag Identification:
- The indicator scans historical price data to identify significant turning points where the
price moves by at least the user-defined percentage threshold.
- These turning points are connected by straight lines to form the Zig Zag pattern.
2. Cycle Analysis:
For each completed cycle (from one swing high/low to the next), the indicator calculates:
- Price Change: Difference between the start and end prices of the cycle.
- Maximum Price Change: The largest price difference observed across all cycles.
- Minimum Price Change: The smallest price difference observed across all cycles.
- Mean Price Change: The average price difference across all cycles.
- Time Duration (Bar Count): Number of bars elapsed between consecutive swings.
- Maximum Duration: The longest cycle in terms of bar count.
- Minimum Duration: The shortest cycle in terms of bar count.
- Mean Duration: The average cycle length in terms of bar count.
- Volume: Total volume traded during the cycle.
- Maximum Volume: The highest volume traded during any single cycle.
- Minimum Volume: The lowest volume traded during any single cycle.
- Mean Volume: The average volume traded across all cycles.
- These calculations provide traders with a statistical overview of market behavior, enabling
them to identify patterns and anomalies in price, time, and volume.
3. Fibonacci Integration:
- Once a new swing high or low is identified, the indicator automatically calculates Fibonacci
retracement and extension levels.
- These levels serve as reference points for potential entry/exit opportunities.
4. Real-Time Updates:
- As the market evolves, the indicator continuously monitors the relationship between the
current price and the last identified swing point.
- Real-time metrics, such as percentage change and volume, are updated dynamically.
5. Alerts Based on Real-Time Parameters:
- The indicator allows users to set customizable alerts based on real-time conditions:
- Price Change Alert: Triggered when the real-time price change is less or greater than a
predefined percentage threshold (e.g., > or < fixed value).
- Duration Alert: Triggered when the cycle duration (in bars) is less or greater than a
predefined
bar count threshold (e.g., > or < fixed value).
- Volume Alert: Triggered when the trading volume during the current cycle is less or greater
than a predefined volume threshold (e.g., > or < fixed value).

Exponential Action Map (EAM)### **Exponential Action Map (EAM) – Description and Differences from VPVR**
The Exponential Action Map (EAM) indicator is a Pine Script-based volume profile indicator that offers **a weighted representation of buying and selling activity**. Unlike the standard **Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR)**, which simply shows traded volume at various price levels, the EAM provides the following additional features:
1. **Exponential Weighting**:
- Instead of treating the volume of all considered bars equally, the EAM uses a **decay factor** to gradually diminish the significance of older data. This allows **more recent price movements to have greater influence**, making it particularly useful for short-term analysis.
2. **Exponential Stealth Move (ESM)**:
- In addition to buy and sell volume, the EAM calculates and displays the **Exponential Stealth Move (ESM)**.
- This measures the relative price movement compared to volume and highlights areas where **significant price changes occur with low volume**, which may indicate institutional activity or strong momentum.
- The ESM visualization is not present in VPVR, making it a distinct and valuable feature.
3. **Visualization Methodology**:
- Instead of simple histograms like in VPVR, volume is represented by **dynamic boxes** that encompass Buy (EBA), Sell (ESA), and Stealth Move (ESM) activities.
- The size and color of these boxes are **customizable**, allowing for clear differentiation between various volume types.
4. **Flexibility & Configuration**:
- Users can adjust parameters such as **Number of Bars, Decay Factor, Bar Width, and Maximum History Data**.
- The ability to **toggle historical data visibility** offers a **tailored view** that VPVR does not provide.
**Conclusion:** The EAM extends the classic volume profile (VPVR) by introducing **time-weighted volume analysis and detection of Stealth Moves (ESM)**. This not only highlights price levels with high trading volume but also reveals **price movements with low liquidity**, which can potentially indicate institutional interest.

Title: GQT GPT - Volume-based Support & Resistance Zones V2
Overview:
This strategy is implemented in PineScript v5 and is designed to identify key support and resistance zones based on volume-driven fractal analysis on a 1-hour timeframe. It computes fractal high points (for resistance) and fractal low points (for support) using volume moving averages and specific price action criteria. These zones are visually represented on the chart with customizable lines and zone fills.
Trading Logic:
• Entry: The strategy initiates a long position when the price crosses into the support zone (i.e., when the price drops into a predetermined support area).
• Exit: The long position is closed when the price enters the resistance zone (i.e., when the price rises into a predetermined resistance area).
• Time Frame: Trading signals are generated solely from the 1-hour chart. The strategy is only active within a specified start and end date.
• Note: Only long trades are executed; short selling is not part of the strategy.
Visualization and Parameters:
• Support/Resistance Zones: The zones are drawn based on calculated fractal values, with options to extend the lines to the right for easier tracking.
• Customization: Users can configure the appearance, such as line style (solid, dotted, dashed), line width, colors, and label positions.
• Volume Filtering: A volume moving average threshold is used to confirm the fractal signals, enhancing the reliability of the support and resistance levels.
• Alerts: The strategy includes alert conditions for when the price enters the support or resistance zones, allowing for timely notifications.

Advanced HFT Detection with VWAP & SpreadsExplanation of the HFT Detection Strategy
🔹 1. Key Indicators Used in the Strategy
It's works by combining VWAP, moving averages (SMA), volume spikes, and price jumps to detect potential HFT activity.
✅ (A) VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
VWAP acts as a benchmark price that professional traders and institutions use to execute large orders.
If price is above VWAP, buyers are in control → Bullish trend
If price is below VWAP, sellers are in control → Bearish trend
HFT algorithms often place buy orders above VWAP and sell orders below VWAP to follow momentum.
➡️ Why VWAP? It ensures that signals follow the institutional trading trend.
✅ (B) Moving Averages (SMA)
Moving averages smooth out price data and help in detecting short-term momentum changes.
Fast Moving Average (5-period SMA): Reacts quickly to price changes
Slow Moving Average (20-period SMA): Identifies trend direction
➡️ Why SMA? It filters noise and confirms short-term trend shifts.
✅ (C) Volume Spike Detection
High-frequency trading is often accompanied by large volume surges. We define a volume spike as:
📌 Current Volume > 2× Average Volume of last 20 bars
➡️ Why Volume? HFTs execute rapid buy/sell orders when they detect liquidity, leading to sudden volume bursts.
✅ (D) Price Jump Detection (Sudden Volatility)
HFT algorithms often exploit quick price movements. We check if the price has moved more than twice the ATR (Average True Range) in the last 5 bars.
➡️ Why ATR? It helps to detect abnormal price movements compared to normal volatility.
🔹 2. Trading Signal Logic
Now that we have VWAP, moving averages, volume, and price movement filters, we generate buy and sell signals based on conditions.
✅ (A) Buy Signal Condition
A BUY signal is triggered when:
✔ Fast SMA crosses above Slow SMA → Short-term trend is turning bullish
✔ Volume spike occurs → HFTs are active
✔ Sudden price jump detected → High volatility
✔ Price is above VWAP → Confirms bullish trend
➡️ Why this works? It confirms that institutional traders & HFTs are buying aggressively.
✅ (B) Sell Signal Condition
A SELL signal is triggered when:
✔ Fast SMA crosses below Slow SMA → Short-term trend is turning bearish
✔ Volume spike occurs → HFTs are selling aggressively
✔ Sudden price drop detected → High volatility
✔ Price is below VWAP → Confirms bearish trend
➡️ Why this works? It confirms that institutional traders & HFTs are selling aggressively.
🔹 3. Visual Representation (Plotting Signals & VWAP)
Once we detect buy and sell signals, we mark them on the chart.
✅ (A) Buy/Sell Markers
🟢 Buy → Green upward arrow below the candle
🔴 Sell → Red downward arrow above the candle
✅ (B) VWAP Line on Chart
We also plot VWAP as a blue line to visualize trend direction.
✅ (C) Highlighting Volume Spikes
To easily spot HFT activity, we highlight volume spike bars with a blue background.
🔹 4. How to Use This Strategy?
1️⃣ Apply this script on a 1-minute or 5-minute intraday chart.
2️⃣ Look for BUY signals above VWAP and SELL signals below VWAP.
3️⃣ Verify that the volume spikes before taking action.
4️⃣ Use stop-loss & risk management (e.g., stop-loss at recent low/high).
🚀 Summary: Why This Strategy Works?
✅ VWAP ensures we follow institutional traders
✅ Volume spikes confirm sudden liquidity inflows
✅ Price jumps detect fast market moves caused by HFT bots
✅ Moving averages smooth out short-term trend shifts
Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL)Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL)
The Relative Volume Indicator (RVOL) helps traders identify unusual volume activity by comparing the current volume to the average historical volume. This makes it easier to spot potential breakouts, reversals, or significant market events that are accompanied by volume confirmation.
What This Indicator Shows
This indicator displays volume as a multiple of average volume, where:
- 1.0x means 100% of average volume
- 2.0x means 200% of average volume (twice the average)
- 0.5x means 50% of average volume (half the average)
Color Coding
The volume bars are color-coded based on configurable thresholds:
- Red: Below average volume (< Average Volume Threshold)
- Yellow: Average volume (between Average Volume and Above Average thresholds)
- Green: Above average volume (between Above Average and Extreme thresholds)
- Magenta: Extreme volume (> Extreme Volume Threshold)
Horizontal Reference Lines
Three dotted horizontal reference lines help you visualize the thresholds:
- Lower gray line: Average Volume Threshold (default: 0.8x)
- Upper gray line: Above Average Threshold (default: 1.25x)
- Magenta line: Extreme Volume Threshold (default: 4.0x)
How To Use This Indicator
1. Volume Confirmation: Use green bars to confirm breakouts or trend changes - stronger moves often come with above-average volume.
2. Low Volume Warning: Red bars during price movements may indicate weak conviction and potential reversals.
3. Extreme Volume Events: Magenta bars (extreme volume) often signal major market events or potential exhaustion points that could lead to reversals.
4. Volume Divergence: Look for divergences between price and volume - for example, if price makes new highs but volume is decreasing (more yellow/red bars), the move may be losing strength.
Settings Configuration
- Average Volume Lookback Period: Number of bars used to calculate the average volume (default: 20)
- Average Volume Threshold: Volume below this level is considered below average (default: 0.8x)
- Above Average Threshold: Volume above this level is considered above average (default: 1.25x)
- Extreme Volume Threshold: Volume above this level is considered extreme (default: 4.0x)
- Colors: Customize colors for each volume category
Important Note: Adjust threshold values only through the indicator settings (not in the Style tab). Changing values in the Style tab will not adjust the coloring of the volume bars.
Adjust these settings based on the specific asset being analyzed and your trading timeframe. More volatile assets may require higher thresholds, while less volatile ones might need lower thresholds.
Multi-TF Volume & Price Analysis[BullByte]This indicator offers a comprehensive view of market dynamics by combining volume and price analysis across multiple timeframes. It calculates key metrics—such as bullish/bearish volume percentages, relative volume (RVol), cumulative volume delta (CVD), and price change percentages—for each timeframe that you choose (for example, 1, 3, 5, and 15 minutes). Here are the main features in simple terms:
- Multi-Timeframe Analysis:
The tool analyzes volume and price action from four different timeframes simultaneously. This means you get insights from short-term and slightly longer-term trends in one view.
- Volume Breakdown:
It splits the volume into bullish and bearish parts by comparing closing and opening prices. This helps you see how much of the trading volume is driving the market upward versus downward.
- Relative Volume & Spike Detection:
It calculates relative volume (current volume compared to a moving average) and flags any significant volume spikes based on a customizable multiplier. This feature helps identify unusual trading activity.
- Volume Smoothing Option:
For a cleaner signal, you can enable a smoothing option (using an exponential moving average) to reduce noise in the volume data.
- Advanced Summary:
The indicator combines volume data, price changes, and volume spikes to produce an overall market summary for each timeframe—labeling conditions as “Bullish Strong,” “Bullish Moderate,” “Bearish Strong,” “Bearish Moderate,” or “Neutral.”
- Cumulative Overview:
In addition to individual timeframe analysis, it aggregates the data to offer a cumulative view. This includes a collective bullish/bearish percentage, overall CVD, and even a simplified volume level (Low, Normal, or High).
- Customizable Dashboard:
All these metrics are neatly displayed in a dashboard on the chart. You can customize its position and text size. The dashboard uses dynamic, color-coded cells to instantly convey the market sentiment—making it easy to spot trends at a glance.
- VWAP Integration:
Finally, the dashboard includes VWAP information, providing an additional layer of context to the price action.
Overall, this indicator is designed to provide a quick yet thorough snapshot of market conditions, enabling traders to make more informed decisions with a clear visual representation of volume and price activity across different timeframes.
Multiple VWMATradingView Indicator: Multiple VWMA
This TradingView indicator allows you to display up to five separate Volume Weighted Moving Averages (VWMAs) directly on your price chart.
What it does:
Plots 5 VWMAs: It calculates and draws five distinct VWMA lines (or other styles) on the chart.
Volume Weighting: Unlike simple moving averages, a VWMA gives more weight to prices where trading volume was higher, potentially offering a clearer picture of the trend strength confirmed by volume.
Highly Customizable: Each of the five VWMAs can be configured independently through the indicator's settings panel. For each one, you can set:
Length: The lookback period (number of bars) used for the calculation.
Source: The price data to use (e.g., close, open, high, low, hl2, etc.).
Timeframe: You can calculate each VWMA based on a different timeframe than the one currently displayed on your chart (e.g., view daily VWMAs on an hourly chart). Leave blank to use the chart's timeframe.
Offset: Shift the VWMA line forwards or backwards on the chart by a specific number of bars.
Style: Choose how each VWMA is displayed (Line, Histogram, or Cross).
Overlay: The VWMAs are plotted directly over the price bars for easy comparison.
Purpose:
This indicator is useful for traders who want to analyze trends using multiple volume-weighted perspectives simultaneously. By comparing VWMAs of different lengths or based on different timeframes, you can gain insights into short-term vs. long-term trends, potential support/resistance levels, and the significance of price movements based on accompanying volume.

- Lower values (10-15): More responsive, potentially noisier
- Higher values (30-50): Smoother, fewer false signals
- Signal Smoothing Length: Default 8 provides good balance
- Lower values: More responsive to pressure changes
- Higher values: Smoother trend identification
2. Threshold Settings
- Extreme Threshold Multiplier: Default 20.0
- Lower values: More signals, potentially more noise
- Higher values: Fewer signals, but more significant
- Overbought/Oversold Levels: Defaults at 20/-20
- Adjust based on instrument volatility
- Wider settings for more volatile instruments
3. Visual Customization
- Marker Line Colors: Adjust for visibility on your chart
- Peak Marker Color: Default yellow provides good contrast
- Enable/disable background highlights based on preference
- Consider log scale for instruments with wide volume ranges
4. Alert Settings
- Configure alerts for high buying pressure
- Configure alerts for high selling pressure
- Set additional alerts for zero-line crosses
- Consider timeframe when setting alert sensitivity
Best Practices
1. Signal Confirmation
- Wait for zero-line crosses to confirm pressure changes
- Look for peak formations to identify potential reversals
- Check for boundary breaks to confirm strong pressure
- Use with price action for entry/exit precision
- Consider extreme threshold crossings as significant signals
2. Timeframe Selection
- Lower timeframes: more signals, potential noise
- Higher timeframes: cleaner signals, less frequent
- Multiple timeframes: confirm signals across time horizons
- Match to your trading style and holding period
3. Market Context
- Strong buying phase: positive columns breaking above marker line
- Strong selling phase: negative columns breaking below marker line
- Columns approaching zero: potential pressure shift
- Columns beyond overbought/oversold: extreme conditions, potential reversal
4. Combining with Other Indicators
- Use with trend indicators for confirmation
- Pair with price action oscillators for divergence detection
- Combine with traditional volume indicators for validation
- Consider support/resistance levels with boundary lines
Advanced Trading Strategies
1. Boundary Break Strategy
- Enter long when volume pressure breaks above previous high marker line
- Enter short when volume pressure breaks below previous low marker line
- Use zero-line as initial stop-loss reference
- Take profits at formation of opposing peaks
2. Peak Trading Strategy
- Identify significant peaks with triangular markers
- Look for consecutive lower peaks in buying phases for shorting opportunities
- Look for consecutive higher troughs in selling phases for buying opportunities
- Use zero-line crosses as confirmation
3. Extreme Reading Strategy
- Look for volume pressure beyond overbought/oversold levels
- Watch for color changes and peak formations
- Enter counter-trend positions after confirmed peaks
- Use tight stops due to extreme market conditions
4. Volume Color Strategy
- Enter long when columns turn bright green (increasing buying pressure)
- Enter short when columns turn bright red (increasing selling pressure)
- Exit when color intensity fades (decreasing pressure)
- Use marker lines as dynamic support/resistance
Practical Analysis Examples
Bullish Market Scenario
- Volume pressure crosses above zero line
- Green columns grow in height and intensity
- High marker line forms steps upward
- Peak triangles appear at local maxima
- Background highlights appear at significant buying pressure peaks
Bearish Market Scenario
- Volume pressure crosses below zero line
- Red columns grow in depth and intensity
- Low marker line forms steps downward
- Peak triangles appear at local minima
- Background highlights appear at significant selling pressure troughs
Consolidation Scenario
- Volume pressure oscillates around zero line
- Column colors alternate frequently
- Marker lines remain relatively flat
- Few or no new peak highlights appear
- Pressure values remain small
Understanding Market Dynamics Through Market Push Meter
At its core, this indicator provides a unique lens to visualize market pressure through volume analysis:
1. Volume Imbalance: By separating and comparing buying volume (up candles) from selling volume (down candles), the indicator provides insights into which side is exerting more pressure in the market.
2. Normalized Pressure: The indicator normalizes volume pressure as a percentage of total volume, making it more comparable across different market conditions and instruments.
3. Dynamic Boundaries: The marker lines create a visual representation of the "high water marks" of pressure in both directions, helping to identify when markets are making new pressure extremes.
4. Exhaustion Signals: The peak detection system highlights moments where pressure has reached a local maximum or minimum, often precursors to reversals or consolidations.
Remember:
- Combine signals from volume pressure, marker lines, and peak formations
- Use appropriate timeframe settings for your trading style
- Customize the indicator to match your visual preferences and market
- Consider overall market conditions and correlate with price action
This indicator works best when:
- Used as part of a comprehensive trading system
- Combined with proper risk management
- Applied with an understanding of current market conditions
- Signals are confirmed by price action and other indicators
