📊 Adaptive Volume Delta Map (AVDM)

What is Adaptive Volume Delta Map (AVDM)?
The Adaptive Volume Delta Map (AVDM) is a smart, multi-timeframe indicator that visualizes buy and sell volume imbalances directly on the chart.
It adapts automatically to the best available data resolution (tick, second, minute, or daily), allowing traders to analyze market activity with micro-level precision.

In addition to calculating volume delta (the difference between buying and selling pressure), AVDM can display a Volume Distribution Map — a per-price-level visualization showing how volume is split between buyers and sellers.

Key Features
✅ Adaptive Resolution Selection — Automatically chooses the highest possible data granularity — from tick to daily timeframe.
✅ Volume Delta Visualization — Displays delta candles reflecting the dominance of buyers (green), sellers (red), and delta (orange).
✅ Per-Level Volume Map (optional) — Shows detailed buy/sell volume distribution per price level, grouped by `Ticks Per Row`.
✅ Bid/Ask Classification — When enabled, AVDM uses bid/ask logic to classify trade direction with greater accuracy.
✅ Smart Auto-Disable Protection — Automatically disables volume map if too many price levels (>50) are detected — preventing performance degradation.

Inputs Overview
Use Seconds Resolution — Enables use of second-level data (if your TradingView subscription allows it).
Use Tick Resolution — Enables tick-based analysis for the most detailed view. If available, enable both tick and seconds resolution.
Use Bid/Ask Calculated — Uses bid/ask midpoint logic to classify trades.
Show Volume Distribution — Toggles per-price-level buy/sell volume visualization.
Ticks Per Row — Controls how many ticks are grouped per volume level. Reduce this value for finer detail, or increase it to reduce visual load.
Calculated Bars — Sets how many historical bars the indicator should process. Higher value increases accuracy but may impact performance.

How to Use

1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Ensure that your symbol provides volume data (and preferably tick or second-level data).
3. The indicator will automatically select the optimal timeframe for detailed calculation.
4. If your TradingView subscription allows second-level data, enable “Use Seconds Resolution.”
5. If your subscription allows tick-level data, enable both “Use Tick Resolution” and “Use Seconds Resolution.”
6. Adjust the “Calculated Bars” input to set how many historical bars the indicator should process.
7. Observe the Volume Delta Candles:

* Green = Buy pressure dominates
* Red = Sell pressure dominates
8. To see buy/sell clustering by price, enable “Show Volume Distribution.”
9. If the indicator disables the map and shows:
"Volume Distribution disabled: Too many price levels detected (>50). Try decreasing 'Ticks Per Row' or using a lower chart resolution. If you don’t care about the map, just turn off 'Show Volume Distribution'."
— follow the instructions to reduce chart load.

Notes

* Automatically adapts to your chart’s resolution and data availability.
* If your symbol doesn’t provide volume data, a runtime warning will appear.
* Works best on futures, FX, and crypto instruments with high-frequency volume streams.
