v5.0
• You can now control not only how many lines of tape are printed, but how many POC levels or volume delta values you want to display on elapsed realtime bars.
You can eliminate any of these displays by using a zero value. A value of one only displays the repainting realtime POC or delta volume .
• The display of the tape has been improved by eliminating empty lines when it has not yet filled.
• Because the line of the average closes is by default now weighed using the volume of each price update, it is now called the Point of Control (POC).
While the calculation combines price levels and volume, it is different than the one used to calculate the POC in a Volume Profile. You can turn off the volume-weighing.
• You can show divergences on both the POC line and the volume delta.
A POC divergence occurs when, for example, an up bar closes below the POC. A volume delta divergence occurs when its polarity does not match the bar's direction.
• Volume delta bumps are now identified as brighter-colored volume delta values under the bar, with an arrow in the direction of the bump.
A bump is defined as two consecutive and increasing/decreasing plus/minus delta volume values, when no divergence occurs on the second bar.
Bumps can occur when a movement is gathering strength, but they can also occur at pauses or tops/bottoms.
For that reason, it is best to adopt a conservative interpretation of bumps, and price action should be used to complement their interpretation.
For example, be wary of bumps that occur on long wicks, on small bodies, or when price action does not correlate them, by not making higher highs or lower lows, for example.
Prefer bumps that occur on solid bodies with small wicks.
• You can configure alerts on bumps. Before creating an alert on the script, you must configure the alert triggering conditions at the bottom of the script's inputs.
Alerts only trigger at the bar's close, so they never repaint.
Note that discrepancies are to be expected between alert triggers and the larger triangles that appear on bumps when an alert condition is detected.
This is because the alert and the indicator are running two distinct instances of the script, and exchange/broker ticks are not always aggregated the same way for both.
