Volume Pressure Arrows[Blk0ut]
Volume Pressure Arrows are an innovative (I think) market pressure tool designed to cut through noise and provide traders with a realistic, but quick insight into buying vs selling pressure and which has real control. Rather than relying on any single classic indicator, this script blends five complementary measures of price–volume dynamics—Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD), VWAP distance, OBV slope, ATR expansion, and the DMI ratio—into a unified “pressure score.”
Each component is normalized, weighted, and combined into a single metric that can be read at a glance through intuitive up and down arrows plotted directly on the chart. By transforming multiple complex data streams into a single aggregated signal, Volume Pressure Arrows help traders answer some of the hardest questions we can face: is the current move backed by conviction? is there true momentum? Is price action about to reverse?
Why It’s Different
Traditional oscillators often create conflicting signals, forcing traders to guess which one to trust. This indicator integrates five perspectives on volume and momentum pressure into a single framework, balancing raw flow (CVD), relative positioning (VWAP), trend conviction (OBV slope), volatility expansion (ATR), and directional bias (DMI). The result is a weighted, probability-minded score capped between -100 and +100 for consistency and clarity.
Important note: Inspiration for the use of directly plotted arrows came from dgtrd "tradingview.com/u/dgtrd/" and their brilliant work on LazyBear's Squeeze Indicator "tradingview.com/script/Dsr7B2xE-Squeeze-Momentum-Indicator-LazyBear-vX-by-DGT/"
How to Read It
Bullish Arrows appear below the candles when the pressure score pushes above the neutral threshold, signaling meaningful buyer dominance.
Bearish Arrows appear above the candles when pressure drops below the negative threshold, indicating strong selling pressure.
Neutral Arrows (smaller, faded) mark conditions where pressure exists but is not decisive—useful for spotting early rotations or fading momentum.
Color Gradients dynamically adjust with score intensity, making stronger signals visually brighter and weaker ones softer.
How to Use It Effectively
This tool is best applied as a confirmation and timing layer. It is not meant to replace your core strategy, but to validate whether momentum pressure supports your trade thesis.
Combine with trendlines, chart patterns, or breakouts to gauge conviction.
Use bullish or bearish arrows as filters, only take trades when price action aligns with strong directional pressure.
Watch neutral arrows near key levels; they often foreshadow balance breaking into directional moves.
Adjust the weightings to emphasize the components that matter most to your style (e.g., more weight on CVD for scalpers, or ATR expansion for volatility traders).
As with any indicator, this is not a magic ball and does not guarantee success. But it does allow you to increase the probability odds to your favor if you align it with your edge. Happy trading!
