Order Flow RegisterOrder flow register is a tool showing history of transactions done recently. It analyze volume and price data to estimate how many "bid" and "ask" transaction was done on the market.
Typically bid transactions are done by active sellers (with passive buyers) and ask by active buyers (with passive sellers).
The advantage of ask transactions shows the emotions of buyers who are willing to pay more to buy.
The advantage of bid transactions shows the emotions of sellers who are willing to sell cheaper to exit the position.
This tool requires frequently updated real-time data to function efficiently.
Warning !
TradingView has a data delay feature on many exchanges (10-30 minutes) and real-time data are extra paid in that case. Missing real-time data source will limit the functionality of the script to educational purposes only.
User Interface:
In the table placed in the right-top corner you can find transaction data in 3 columns. First with bid transaction volume, second with price and third with ask transaction volume.
Value shown between "Ask" and "Bid" labels is showing price change done with last transaction (usefull when agregate option is on).
If agregate option is on:
- Addition row with last registered transaction is shown over labels(row with "Big" and "Ask" label).
- Price label of active row (first below the labels) has changing background color linearly between ask and bid value depending in which part of agregated price slot current price is.
Script settings:
Agregate - Option to agregate transactions into areas of some height
FieldHeight = 10^ - Area height on the chart:
0 - 1$
1 = 10$
2 = 100$
3 = 1000$
-1 = 0.1$
-2 = 0.01$
-3 = 0.001$
Troubleshooting:
In case of any problems, please send error details to the author of the script.
Orderflow
Volume Block Tracker- This script was developed to accompany order flow analysis on other platforms where volume candle charts can be tracked.
- The plot shows where volume blocks of a certain size have been completed, and a color change shows when they are getting close to completion.
- The accumulative volume count starts from zero at the beginning of each daily session.
- Alerts can be set for when each volume block is completed (or is partially completed).
- Alerts can also be set for when blocks are completed within a certain time such as fast 1 minute blocks.
- The indicator is optimized for use with BTCUSD but may work with others.
ArtiumPro Main Market StructureThis indicator maps out Market Structure using real time price action rather than simply pulling "pivot" points. Use to see at a glance where a BOS or CHoCH has occurred and where the current and historic highs and lows are.
- M-BOS happens when a main break of structure occurs (trend continuation) the continuation of a bullish or bearish trend.
User setting change line style, color and transparency & turn off text, change text color and transparency
- M-CHoCH happens when a Change of Character occurs (trend change) this is the 1st sign of a possible change of the trend direction from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish
User setting change line style, color and transparency & turn off text, change text color and transparency
- M-swh & M-swl are the current active unmitigated highs and lows
- User setting for M-swh & M-swl allows you to chose the amount of active highs / lows you want to see on the chart. this can be used at a glace to see where potential liquidity may be laying. If you only want to see the last most current
high an low you can turn on the "just last active" option box.
- User settings to turn on or off the old mitigated highs lows making it easy to see at a glance when old highs and lows have been broken or swept. The label for this is also customizable to user preference.
1+KillZoneLiteRemove plot line for a better view. I've made this to work on "US30 Global Prime" probably works on other pairs the codes left open to mod.
This Indicator shows 3 sessions to help you focus on timing. This will help you with learning pattern recognition aswell.
1. Gray zone is spreads. The gray zone will show up 30 min before spreads open up.
2. Blue is new york

XPace* XPACE INDICATOR *
The XPace indicator represents a histogram view of the Tape Speed of the Floor. The Tape Speed (aka Pace) is represented as red and green bars drawn in a histogram view.
As the red histogram bars grow larger and increase in frequency, this shows that the BIDS are in kontrol at that time. And conversely, when the green histogram bars grow larger and instead in frequency, this shows that the OFFERS are in kontrol.
Weighing in whether the BIDS or OFFERS are in kontrol can be a helpful indicator to decide what direction the market could move in.
What is helpful about XPace is that it will show you the raw value of the BID and OFFER kontrol. This can be combined with XKontrol which will classify the kontrol as either Initial, Strong, and Total. Using these 2 indicators combined has added value.
* WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL *
Up to this point, there is not another indicator that represents the BIDS and OFFERS that correlate and represent the Tape Speed of the Floor.
* XKONTROL INDICATOR *
The other indicator on this chart is XKontrol, as shown as dots of varying sizes on the chart. The dots are a visual representation of who is in Kontrol relative to the Tape Speed of the Floor. The XKontrol indicator will show you who is in Kontrol, the BIDS or the OFFERS. This is a very powerful indicator. Great for long term plays and a *SCALPERS* paradise.
The XKontrol indicator reads the BIDS Being hit and the OFFERS being lifted, and then represents the strength of the Bids being hit and Offers being lifted as dots on the chart. The various dot sizes produced by XKontrol show the level of control the Bids or the Offers have at that point of time in the chart.
As the Dots grow larger, the level of Kontrol is increased. There are 3 dot sizes ranging from Small, Medium, and Large. Respectively they represent Intial Kontrol, Strong Kontrol, and Total Kontrol. Total Kontrol is achieved when either the BIDS or the OFFERS are dominating at the time. This is generally the direction you want to place your trades in and show that either the Bids or the Offers are flooding the market.
As the BID dots increase in frequency and in size this shows that the BIDS are in kontrol and dominating. Vice versa, when the OFFER dots increase in frequency and in size this shows that the offers are in kontrol and dominating. When you see the large dot that is generally a strong sign of the direction price may go. However, it also can be climactic and price could reverse. That would symbolize a case of Effort / No Result. For Example, when the BIDS are in Kontrol and dominating, make a lower low, and then price quickly reverses, it could symbolize a climax.
Usually XKontrol is used in conjunction with XPace, as XKontrol deciphers the Tape Speed of the Floor and draws graphical dots to show whether the BIDS or the OFFERS are dominating right on the chart. Reading XPace will show visually in the histogram the strength of the BID and OFFER Kontrol in the histogram.
* XKONTROL ALERTS *
Alerts can be set very easily with the instructions below.
1. Right Click Chart -> Add Alert...
2. Select Condition to be "XKontrol"
3. Select any level of Kontrol. For example you can Select "Offers Total Kontrol"
4. Select "Greater Than" with Value = 0
5. Options set "Once Per Bar Close" to only fire alert after bar closes
6. Customize Any other Alert Options you want
* EXAMPLE AND USE CASES *
Some practical examples of using XKontrol + XPace combined could be the following:
1. XKontrol Large Green Dot + XPace Large Green Bar could be that the OFFERS have gained total kontrol and are dominating against the Bids. Once would want to watch for higher prices to be potentially reached after that.
2. XKontrol Small Red Dot + XPace Large Red Bar could be that there was a lot of effort on behalf of the BIDS, but they failed to achieve any significant kontrol. The small red dot in XKontrol represents only initial kontrol which is weak kontrol. An application would be to watch for a potential break out on the up side and that will confirm that the BIDS overexerted their effort and was oversold.
3. XKontrol Red and Green Dots mixed could show that it has not been decided whether the BIDS or OFFERS are dominating and the outlook is neutral. If the XPace histogram bars don't stand out either, it would add another point for a neutral analysis.

XKontrol* XKONTROL INDICATOR *
Is a visual representation of who is in Kontrol relative to the Tape Speed of the Floor. The XKontrol indicator will show you who is in Kontrol, the BIDS or the OFFERS. This is a very powerful indicator. Great for long term plays and a *SCALPERS* paradise.
* WHAT THE SCRIPT DOES *
The XKontrol indicator reads the BIDS Being hit and the OFFERS being lifted, and then represents the strength of the Bids being hit and Offers being lifted as dots on the chart. The various dot sizes produced by XKontrol show the level of control the Bids or the Offers have at that point of time in the chart.
* HOW IT WORKS *
As the Dots grow larger, the level of Kontrol is increased. There are 3 dot sizes ranging from Small, Medium, and Large. Respectively they represent Intial Kontrol, Strong Kontrol, and Total Kontrol. Total Kontrol is achieved when either the BIDS or the OFFERS are dominating at the time. This is generally the direction you want to place your trades in and show that either the Bids or the Offers are flooding the market.
* HOW TO USE IT *
As the BID dots increase in frequency and in size this shows that the BIDS are in kontrol and dominating. Vice versa, when the OFFER dots increase in frequency and in size this shows that the offers are in kontrol and dominating. When you see the large dot that is generally a strong sign of the direction price may go. However, it also can be climactic and price could reverse. That would symbolize a case of Effort / No Result.

5. Options set "Once Per Bar Close" to only fire alert after bar closes
6. Customize Any other Alert Options you want
* XPACE INDICATOR *
The other indicator on the chart shown in the Histogram is called XPace. It represents a histogram view of the Tape Speed of the Floor. It correlates to XKontrol, but instead of Dots will draw histogram bars showing the extent of the BID or OFFER Control.
As the red histogram bars grow larger and increase in frequency, this shows that the BIDS are in kontrol at that time. And conversely, when the green histogram bars grow larger and instead in frequency, this shows that the OFFERS are in kontrol.
Weighing in whether the BIDS or OFFERS are in kontrol can be a helpful indicator to decide what direction the market could move in.
What is helpful about XPace is that it will show you the raw value of the BID and OFFER kontrol whereas XKontrol will classify the kontrol as either Initial, Strong, and Total. Using these 2 indicators combined has added value.
* EXAMPLE AND USE CASES *
Some practical examples of using XKontrol + XPace combined could be the following:
1. XKontrol Large Green Dot + XPace Large Green Bar could be that the OFFERS have gained total kontrol and are dominating against the Bids. Once would want to watch for higher prices to be potentially reached after that.
2. XKontrol Small Red Dot + XPace Large Red Bar could be that there was a lot of effort on behalf of the BIDS, but they failed to achieve any significant kontrol. The small red dot in XKontrol represents only initial kontrol which is weak kontrol. An application would be to watch for a potential break out on the up side and that will confirm that the BIDS overexerted their effort and was oversold.
3. XKontrol Red and Green Dots mixed could show that it has not been decided whether the BIDS or OFFERS are dominating and the outlook is neutral. If the XPace histogram bars don't stand out either, it would add another point for a neutral analysis.

[VC] Cumulative Delta PLUS It is a Merged Version of our following two indicators.
V.C Box Chart Histogram
&
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram.
We merged them at the user's request & convenience. This merged version also helps to save space for other indicators.
Description & Usage
Description & Usage will remain the same as described in individual descriptions of the above-mentioned parent indicators. Only one additional input is added to adjust the scale, named "Scale_Setting''.
Because now it's a merged version of 2 different indicators & both indicators have their different scale levels. To bring both indicators on an equal scale so that they can be visualised better, we have added scale adjustment settings that are easy to understand. Let's elaborate it.
Scale adjustment settings belong to the Cumulative length of the ' 'Cumulative Delta Indicator'' . Keep in mind that the best scale setting is keeping the scale setting values near or equal to cumulative length.
For example:
If you set cumulative length 20, the scale setting value should also be 20 or near 20 (like 17, 18, 19 etc.). (It depends on you, how large cumulative columns you want to see relative to Box chart Histogram)
Note: Any scale setting value can be used, it only affects visuals, not the actual calculations.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram It is purely Volume, Delta, Demand & Supply imbalance and comparative analysis-based tool. Before applying this Indicator to your study, you should clear your concepts about Volume, Delta & Spread, Demand & Supply, and Aggressive & Passive behaviour of buyers/sellers.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
[VC] Cumulative Delta Histogram V1.0The V.C Cumulative Delta Histogram shows the market's ongoing Buying/Selling pressure. It helps to determine whether Supply or Demand is dominating and in control.
➤If the Cumulative Delta Increases, the buyers are in control.➚
➤If the Cumulative Delta Decreases, the sellers are in control.➘
The use cases for this Indicator are vast and correlated with our other Delta Indicators. The following examples will explain how to use this Indicator.
Example 1 EUR / USD
In the above example, Negative Cumulative Delta Decreased & Turned into Positive Cumulative Delta. That indicates that sellers are losing control & buyers are getting power.
As a confirmation on the ' 'Box Chart Histogram'' it is evident that Demand is also increasing.
And on ''Wave Chart Index'' as a 3rd confirmation, you can see that the Delta has also increased compared to previous waves.
Example 2
Positive Delta on Cumulative Delta Histogram is decreasing & Negative Delta started increasing.
On the Box Chart Histogram , Demand is decreasing & Supply is increasing.
Additionally, on the Wave Chart Index , the Delta of the wave is also decreasing.
(in short, besides ''Cumulative Delta Histogram," Box chart Histogram & Wave Chart Index is also adding additional confirmation)
Note: Two types of Delta sources are included in this Cumulative Delta Indicator.
Type A: Simple Delta
Type B: Delta %
Simple Delta is the difference between Net Buying - Selling pressure.
Delta % also works in the same calculation, but a Volume weighted algorithm is applied on it.
You may use any of them that suits your analysis.

[VC] Cumulative Delta Volume BarsLet's first learn what is Delta & How to Use Cumulative Delta Volume Bars?
Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is one of the leading indicators that you can use when trading order flow. It gives you an instant snapshot of the buying and selling pressure in a market.
After reading the detailed description of "Cumulative Delta Volume Bars," you will understand how volume delta provides a critical edge by allowing you to spot significant potential reversals in the market. You will also learn to use this Cumulative Delta indicator in depth. (including rest session usability features)
What is Delta Volume?
Delta Volume is the difference between Buying and Selling Power. Delta Volume is calculated by taking the difference between the volume traded at the offer price and the volume traded at the bid price. (in simple words, the difference between buying pressure & selling pressure)
If delta volume is more than zero, you have more buying pressure than selling & vice versa, and if delta volume is less than zero, you have more selling pressure than buying.
In Order-Flow Analysis , traders used Cumulative Delta to measure the relationship between the Buying & Selling pressure Vs Price.
Cumulative delta volume takes the delta values for every bar and successively adds them together to provide a graph, as seen below visually.
Let me demonstrate by giving examples of how cumulative Delta can help measure the buying or selling pressure relative to the price move.
★ Trading Absorption & Exhaustion concepts with Delta
See the chart below & try to analyze the next possible move on the basses on the analysis mentioned on the chart.
➽➽ If you said Short, you were correct. ✅
Till Point A , both price & cumulative were aligned. (means there were no imbalances between Delta & Price).
But on Point B , the Cumulative Delta broke the previous resistance clearly and moved even further away from the resistance level, but the Price couldn't break the last resistance. It interprets that buyers applied a lot of buying pressure but no result. (Aggressive buying pressure absorbed by Passive sellers)
Due to this vast effort or failed attempt, buyers were exhausted and had no more strength to pull the Price up. That's why the Price reversed from Point B . See below image
★ Cumulative Delta Volume Bars is helpful when determining buying or selling pressure at different key price levels, such as swing highs or lows.
Let's recap on swing highs and swing lows.
➽ A swing high (S.H) is formed when the high reaches higher than the price action around it. Once the Price moves above a prior swing high and begins to retrace, a new swing high is formed.
➽ A swing low (S.L) is formed when the low reaches lower than price action around it. Once the Price moves below a prior swing low and begins to retrace, a new swing low is formed.
➽ When the Price makes higher highs and higher lows, a market is considered an uptrend.
➽ When the Price is making lower lows followed by lower highs, a market is considered a downtrend.
When evaluating Delta, it's beneficial to compare delta values at swing lows or swing highs to determine the amount of selling or buying pressure and how the market reacts.
The actual Power of Delta is revealed when we use it to determine the market's reaction to powerful buying or selling. We want to see if the market has reacted as we would expect or not.
In the above Example, you will notice that every time price breaks a swing, Delta does as well.
It makes sense as it takes selling pressure to break a swing low or buying pressure to break a swing high. In simple words, we can say that there is no anomaly between delta direction & price direction.
In simple words (No Absorption or Exhaustion)
But what's occurring when this isn't the case, and we have divergence between Price and Delta? Let's analyze it with real examples.
★ Understanding Delta Divergence.
(Lack of Harmony in Buying/Selling Pressure & Price Move)
Notice how the Price breaks out of the previous resistance level on the above chart, but the Delta didn't yet reach even close to its last resistance level. It's a clear divergence between Price and Delta. Buyers may be slightly exhausted at the previous resistance level, and Price & Delta may retrace slightly. But in a broader view, it reflects a strong bullish signal.
See the above chart & see when and why the Price moved. I hope it will help you understand the underlying relation & story between Price & Delta.
Cumulative Delta & Trade Management
Delta will help you spot significant reversals, but it can also be used to help manage your open trade. You want to see a high correlation between Delta and Price when in a long or short position.
Suppose you're short while the Price is breaking a new low. You want to see Delta breaking low if sellers aren't interested in selling at the recent lows, represented by Delta not breaking lows. The probability of a short term reversal or a significant retrace increases.
When in a position, always be on the lookout for exhaustion and absorption, signalling a reversal potential.

➽Conclusion:
Cumulative Volume Delta Bars is one of the leading indicators you can include as an order flow trader in your arsenal. It gives you an inside look at buying and selling pressure and how the market reacts.
But Keep in mind, in trading & technical analysis, nothing is 100% certain. No indicator can give you a 100% success rate. There is no holy grail in the financial market. As a trader, with the help of technical & fundamental indicators, our goal is to find an edge over the market. A simple definition of an edge is: Anything that adds a few points to the winning side of an equation builds an edge that lasts a lifetime. A trading edge defines your technical or strategic advantage in the highly competitive market environment. Traders can establish multiple edges by starting with popular strategies and customizing rules to lower the risk of getting trapped with the emotional crowd.

[VC] Box Chart Histogram V1.0V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta that correlates to another indicator named ''V.C Box Chart Index'' .
(In other words, ''V.C Box Chart Histogram'' & ''V.C Box Chart Index'' are correlated.)
V.C Box Chart Histogram draws the cumulative delta as histogram based on ''V.C Box Chart Index''. Combining these two indicators empowers you to see the cumulative demand & supply / cumulative buying & selling quantity of each box.
You can also switch from cumulative delta mode to cumulative delta % from input settings. See the difference between simple delta & delta % mode from these examples.
Simple Delta Mode (Cumulative Demand & Supply)
In the above example, green & red boxes on the histogram show the cumulative delta of each box from the main chart. In simple words, these boxes show the cumulative net demand & supply of the corresponding box from the main chart. In this example, Big green boxes indicate demand is increasing, whereas small red boxes indicate that supply is decreasing.
Delta % Mode (Cumulative Volume-Weighted Demand & Supply)
Similar to the simple delta mode, in the above example, blue & red boxes on the histogram show the cumulative delta % of each box from the main chart. In simple words, these boxes show the cumulative & volume-weighted demand & supply of the corresponding box from the main chart.
In this example, Big blue boxes indicate that demand is increasing, whereas small red boxes indicate that supply is decreasing.

RelicusRoad - Support and ResistanceWe bring you dynamically created fundamental support and resistance analysis required for any instrument a trader trades.
Support & Resistance Concept
The concepts of trading level support and resistance are undoubtedly two of the most highly discussed attributes of technical analysis . As part of analyzing chart patterns, these terms are used by traders to refer to price levels on charts that tend to act as barriers, preventing the price of an asset from getting pushed in a certain direction.
At first, the explanation and idea behind identifying these levels seem easy, but as you'll find out, support and resistance can come in various forms, and the concept is more difficult to master than it first appears, this is where RelicusRoad - Support and Resistance comes in and draws them for you.
Technical analysts use support and resistance levels to identify price points on a chart where the probabilities favor a pause or reversal of a prevailing trend.
Support occurs where a downtrend is expected to pause due to a concentration of demand.
Resistance occurs where an uptrend is expected to pause temporarily, due to a concentration of supply.
Market psychology plays a major role as traders and investors remember the past and react to changing conditions to anticipate future market movement.
Support and resistance areas can be identified on charts using trendlines and moving averages.
[VC] Wave Chart Index V1.0V.C Wave Chart Index
Richard D. Wyckoff created the first wave chart, and he instructed students to think in waves. He was an early 20th-century pioneer in the technical approach to studying the stock market and is considered one of the five "titans" of technical analysis, along with Dow, Gann, Elliott and Merrill.
V.C Wave Chart Index is the most comprehensive version of Wyckoff's theory. It is used to measure the strength & weakness of each market move by comparative data analysis. It draws waves on the chart based on Gann Swing theory. At the end of each wave, a label shows all the cumulative data & information of the wave.
With the help of this indicator, You can measure each swing or high/low movement of the market by comparing it with previous high/low price movements. The comparison can be made by using the following data of each wave.
Price Change
Volume Change
Delta Change
Delta % Change
Buy Volume
Sell Volume
Time Spent (Bar Counter)
V.C Wave Chart Index is not only an indicator but itself a unique & comprehensive tool kit to measure & compare each move of the market. This tool enables you to see deep inside each movement of the market. It allows you to observe the nitty-gritty data of each wave at the micro-level with your nacked eyes. With the help of Delta & (C.C) Close to Close Price Change, it is now easy to apply effort & result and cause & effect theory to your analysis. (total volume, buy volume, sell volume & delta % can also be used for comparative analysis)
V.C Wave Chart Index Properties
Price Change or (P.C): Shows the price Change of the Wave
Buy Volume (B.V): Shows the Cumulative Buy Volume of the Wave
Sell Volume (S.V): Shows the Cumulative Sell Volume of the Wave

Comparative Data Analysis Example in the light of Effort & Result Theory
A short explanation of the above analysis
On Wave A , the close to close price change (C.C) is $354 . (its the distance of price that price travelled from the low of the previous wave)
and price travelled this distance with 632 Delta (Delta is an effort which is used to travel the price)
On Wave B , close to close price change (C.C) is -$359 , almost the same distance as the previous wave. But for this distance price used 47% more Delta than the last wave. ( previous Delta is 632 , but current Delta is 931 that is 47% extra)
It indicates that sellers have put more effort in Wave B than Wave A . However, they got similar results as the previous wave. In other words
More Effort & Less Result = Reversal Sign
(that's why in the above example price reversed from a support level)
* Notice that Wave B is also on a key support area/level. And on key support or resistance area, this kind of comparative analysis can give an extra edge in your analysis.
Disclaimer Note:
V.C Wave Chart Index is not a BUY/SELL signal based indicator or a holy grail trading system.
It is purely Volume, Delta and comparative analysis based indicator. Before applying this indicator to your analysis, you should know about V.S.A, Volume, Delta & Spread.
Some basic understanding of Sir Richerd Wyckoff's Theory can also be helpful.
Realtime FootprintThe purpose of this script is to gain a better understanding of the order flow by the footprint. To that end, i have added unusual features in addition to the standard features.
I use "Real Time 5D Profile by LucF" main engine to create basic footprint(profile type) and added some popular features and my favorites.
This script can only be used in realtime, because tradingview doesn't provide historical Bid/Ask date.
Bid/Ask date used this script are up/down ticks.
This script can only be used by time based chart (1m, 5m , 60m and daily etc)
This script use many labels and these are limited max 500, so you can't display many bars.
If you want to display foot print bars longer, turn off the unused sub-display function.
Default setting is footprint is 25 labels, IB count is 1, COT high and Ratio high is 1, COT low and Ratio low is 1 and Delta Box Ratio Volume is 1 , total 29.
plus UA , IB stripes , ladder fading mark use several labels.
///////// General Setting ///////////
Resets on Volume / Range bar
: If you want to use simple time based Resets on, please set Total Volume is 0.
Your timeframe is always the first condition. So if you set Total Volume is 1000, both conditions(Volume >= 1000 and your timeframe start next bar) must be met. (that is, new footprint bar doesn't start at when total volume = exactly 1000).
Ticks per row and Maximum row of Bar
: 1 is minimum size(tick). "Maximum row of Bar" decide the number of rows used in one footprint. 1 row is created from 1 label, so you need to reduce this number to display many footprints (Max label is 500).
Volume Filter and For Calculation and Display
: "Volume Filter" decide minimum size of using volume for this script.
"For Calculation and Display" is used to convert volume to an integer.
This script only use integer to make profile look better (I contained Bid number and Ask number in one row( one label) to saving labels. This require to make no difference in width by the number of digits and this script corresponds integers from 0 to 3 digits).
ex) Symbol average volume size is from 0.0001 to 0.001. You decide only use Volume >= 0.0005 by "Volume Filter".
Next, you convert volume to integer, by setting "For Calculation and Display" is 1000 (0.0005 * 1000 = 5).
If 0.00052 → 5.2 → 5, 0.00058 → 5.8 → 6 (Decimal numbers are rounded off)
This integer is used to all calculation in this script.
//////// Main Display ///////
Footprint, Total, Row Delta, Diagonal Delta and Profile
: "Footprint" display Ask and Bid per row. "Total" display Ask + Bid per row.
"Row Delta" display Ask - Bid per row. "Diagonal Delta" display Ask(row N) - Bid(row N -1) per row.
Profile display Total Volume(Ask + Bid) per row by using Block. Profile Block coloring are decided by Row Delta value(default: positive Row Delta (Ask > Bid) is greenish colors and negative Row Delta (Ask < Bid) is reddish colors.)
Volume per Profile Block, Row Imbalance Ratio and Delta Bull/Bear/Neutral Colors
: "Volume per Profile Block" decide one block contain how many total volume.
ex) When you set 20, Total volume 70 display 3 block.
The maximum number of blocks that can be used per low is 20.
So if you set 20, Total volume 400 is 20 blocks. total volume 800 is 20 blocks too.
"Row Imbalance Ratio" decide block coloring. The row imbalance is that the difference between Ask and Bid (row delta) is large.
default is x3, x2 and x1. The larger the difference, the brighter the color.
ex) Ask 30 Bid 10 is light green. Ask 20 Bid 10 is green. Ask 11 Bid 10 is dark green.
Ask 0 Bid 1 is light red. Ask 1 Bid 2 is red. ask 30 Bid 59 is dark green.
Ask 10 Bid 10 is neutral color(gray)
profile coloring is reflected same row's other elements(Ask, Bid, Total and Delta) too.
It's because one label can only use one text color.
/////// Sub Display ///////
Delta, total and Commitment of Traders
: "Delta" is total Ask - total Bid in one footprint bar. Total is total Ask + total Bid in one footprint bar.
"Commitment of traders" is variation of "Delta". COT High is reset to 0 when current highest is touched. COT Low is opposite.
Basic concept of Delta is to compare price with Delta. Ordinary, when price move up, delta is positive. Price move down is negative delta.
This is because market orders move price and market orders are counted by Delta (although this description is not exactly correct).
But, sometimes prices do not move even though many market orders are putting pressure on price , or conversely, price move strongly without many market orders.
This is key point. Big player absorb market orders by iceberg order(Subdivide large orders and pretend to be small limit orders.
Small limit orders look weak in the order book, but they are added each time you fill, so they are more powerful than they look.), so price don't move.
On the other hand, when the price is moving easily, smart players may be aiming to attract and counterattack to a better price for them.
It's more of a sport than science, and there's always no right response. Pay attention to the relationship between price, volume and delta.
ex) If COT Low is large negative value, it means many sell market orders is coming, but iceberg order is absorbing their attack at limit order.
you should not do buy entry, only this clue. but this is one of the hints.
"Delta, Box Ratio and Total texts is contained same label and its color are "Delta" coloring. Positive Delta is Delta Bull color(green),Negative Delta is Delta Bear Color
and Delta = 0 is Neutral Color(gray). When Delta direction and price direction are opposite is Delta Divergence Color(yellow).
I didn't add the cumulative volume delta because I prefer to display the CVD line on the price chart rather than the number.
Box Ratio , Box Ratio Divisor and Heavy Box Ratio Ratio
: This is not ordinary footprint features, but I like this concept so I added.
Box Ratio by Richard W. Arms is simple but useful tool. calculation is "total volume (one bar) divided by Bar range (highest - lowest)."
When Bull and bear are fighting fiercely this number become large, and then important price move happen.
I made average BR from something like 5 SMA and if current BR exceeds average BR x (Heavy Box Ratio Ratio), BR box mark will be filled.
Box Ratio Divisor is used to good looking display(BR multiplied by Box Ratio Divisor is rounded off and displayed as an integer)
Diagonal Imbalance Count , D IB Mark and D IB Stripes
: Diagonal Imbalance is defined by "Diagonal Imbalance Ratio".
ex) You set 2. When Ask(row N) 30 Bid(row N -1)10, it's 30 > 10*2, so positive Diagonal Imbalance.
When Ask(row N) 4 Bid(row N -1)9, it's 4*2 < 9, so negative Diagonal Imbalance.
This calculation does not use equals to avoid Ask(row N) 0 Bid(row N -1)0 became Diagonal Imbalance.
Ask(row N) 0 Bid(row N -1)0, it's 0 = 0*2, not Diagonal Imbalance. Ask(row N) 10 Bid(row N -1)5, it's 10 = 5*2, not Diagonal Imbalance.
"D IB Mark" emphasize Ask or Bid number which is dominant side(Winner of Diagonal Imbalance calculation), by under line.
"Diagonal Imbalance Count" compare Ask side D IB Mark to Bid side D IB Mark in one footprint.
Coloring depend on which is more aggressive side (it has many IB Mark) and When Aggressive direction and price direction are opposite is Delta Divergence Color(yellow).
"D IB Stripes" is a function that further emphasizes with an arrow Mark, when a DIB mark is added on the same side for three consecutive row. Three consecutive arrow is added at third row.
Unfinished Auction, Ratio Bounds and Ladder fading Mark
: "Unfinished Auction" emphasize highest or lowest row which has both Ask and Bid, by Delta Divergence Color(yellow) XXXXXX mark.
Unfinished Auction sometimes has magnet effect, price may touch and breakout at UA side in the future.
This concept is famous as profit taking target than entry decision.
But, I'm interested in the case that Big player make fake breakout at UA side and trapped retail traders, and then do reversal with retail traders stop-loss hunt.
Anyway, it's not stand alone signal.
"Ratio Bounds" gauge decrease of pressure at extreme price. Ratio Bounds High is number which second highest ask is divided by highest ask.
Ratio Bounds Low is number which second lowest bid is divided by lowest bid. The larger the number, the less momentum the price has.
ex)first footprint bar has Ratio Bounds Low 2, second footprint bar has RBL 4, third footprint bar has RBL 20.
This indicates that the bear's power is gradually diminishing.
"Ladder fading mark" emphasizes the decrease of the value in 3 consecutive row at extreme price. I added two type Marks.
Ask/Bid type(triangle Mark) is Ask/Bid values are decreasing of three consecutive row at extreme price.
Row Imbalance type(Diamond Mark) are row Imbalance values are decreasing of three consecutive row at extreme price.
ex)Third lowest Bid 40, second lowest Bid 10 and lowest Bid 5 have triangle up Mark. That is bear's power is gradually diminishing.
(This Mark only check Bid value at lowest price and Ask value at highest price).
Third highest row delta + 60, second highest row delta + 5, highest delta - 20 have diamond Mark. That is Bull's power is gradually diminishing.
Sub display use Delta colors at bottom of Sub display section.
////// Candle & POC /////////
candle and POC
: Ordinary, "POC" Point of Control is row of largest total volume, but this script'POC is volume weighted average.
This is because the regular POC was visually displayed by the profile ,and I was influenced LucF's ideas.
POC coloring is decided in relation to the previous POC. When current POC is higher than previous POC, color is UP Bar Color(green).
In the opposite case, Down Bar color is used.
POC Divergence Color is used when Current POC is up but current bar close is lower than open (Down price Bar),or in the opposite case.
POC coloring has option also highlight background by Delta Divergence Color(yellow). but bg color is displayed at your time frame current price bar not current footprint bar.
The basic explanation is over.
I add some image to promote understanding basic ideas.
Net Positions + SpaceManBTCNet Positions + SpaceManBTC
Includes 4 total features, for traders to help identify the positioning of participants.
Net Longs
Net Shorts
NL/NS
'CVD' Sessions
The indicator can be used to spot large positions occuring, e.g. large long positions, and how they can influence the market such as long positions opening towards a swing high can be seen, price moving away from said positions can lead to longs being squeezed when moving away.
Alternatively the diverging positions between Longs and Shorts can be useful,
This is bette represented in the 'CVD' replication feature.
The use of CVD can be done to show 3 things, Exhaustion, Absoprtion or strength.
Exhaustion and Absoprtion being shown with divergences.
Exhaustion in CVD is represented in, Higher highs in price but CVD produces a lower high (reverse for the opposite), this indicates a lack of participants in this case buyers which can signal a reversal.
Absorption in the case of CVD represented by, Higher highs in CVD but price produces a lower high, shows that aggressive buying and selling is being absorbed by the heavier hand in the market, limit orders. Likely reversion and has more weighting than exhuastion.
Strength can be represented with CVD following price e.g. an uptrend with higher highs and lows showing the same in CVD.
MarketReader_StrategyMarketReader_Strategy is a very useful and advanced indicator:
- It draws buying (green) and selling (orange) zone .
-Once the buying or selling zone is tapped, the color is automatically changed to grey
-It shows liquidity pool ($$$) engineered by market behaviour
Buying or selling area are determined by an algorithm that combines volume profile, Elliott Wave principles and order flow delivery .
On the above example:
At “1” , you can see that the first buying zone is drawn since January 12
At “2” , the buying zone is tapped on January 18 with a strong bullish reaction.
At “3” and “3’” , you can see that liquidity pool has been created by market maker on both buying and selling side. It is typical of market behavior.
Market maker will take the downside liquidity by targeting the buying zone and then reverse (to the upside) targeting the upside liquidity pool that fuel the pump to the selling zone “4” . This selling zone is reached at “5” with a strong bearish reaction.
“6” represent active buying zone, waiting to be tapped.
To buy or take profit on these areas will depend on market behavior on the way down. Does the market engineer liquidity before? We use 2 complementary indicators helping us to take position on these areas but feel free to experiment with your own.
Usually, I wait price comes to selling or buying zone, then I go on lower timeframe (15 to 30 times lower) searching for divergences and convergences on Momemtum reader (also available on tradingview)
This indicator does not repaint and works on Forex, Crypto, Indices, Commodities and stock.
Delta Bar Stats SpaceManBTCDelta Bar Stats SpaceManBTC
This is a supplementary tool to DeltaPrint Candles SpaceManBTC, Hence why its inclusion in the chart above. Orderflow traders have access to the bar statistics in a seperate,
container to the candles themselves. This aims to tackle that disparity by providing a solution to tradingview.
Using a calculation that is found in the DeltaPrint Candles SpaceManBTC the data reflected as you can see is the same in the TVOL and DVOL
parameters matching the Total Volume and Delta Volume parameters.
The tool Delta Bar Stats SpaceManBTC also provides access to extra information, Delta Price, Buy Volume, Sell volume.
The Delta price highlighting the DVPOC (delta volume point of control) and the 2 following
refrencing the total buy volume and sell volume in the candle respectively.
Additionally you can see on load 2 settings:
Dynamic Coloring Delta Volume,
changes color based on whether the Total Delta for the candle was positive or negative.
Dynamic Coloring Delta Price,
changes color based on whether price closed above or below the DeltaVPOC
Ticksize is used to determine the amount of data generated, the lower the more information will be provided on the current candle. Using AutoTickSize will do this automatically accounting for recent volatility .
Therefore when using and new, use auto, to switch between charts with ease. On charts that you always keep open it is recommended to manually tune ticksize to your choosing.
Delta Profile SpaceManBTCDelta Profile SpaceManBTC
Delta Profile SpaceManBTC, provides 2 very useful functions to tradingview traders with increased statistic for their candles in which case they can use to add confluence to their trading style.
Profile Types:
There are 2 main modes as it stands:
Delta Profile: Comes with the ability to show where buyers and sellers are stepping in more aggressively at which points to show a representation of trapped traders easier and aggression in the market.
Volume Profile: Can be used to do the same but in a more pure volume form, as well as allows for an ease in detecting a momentum shift.
Statistic Types: works with all modes
Ask/Bid Ask bid gives you the pure representation of that data showing at which points buyers stepped in and seller stepped in, no additional calculation on top.
Delta Delta shows the difference between, ie delta, for the ask and bid so its easier to view the difference at loss of the exact values used.
Volume Volume, shows the pure volumetric values no explanation of who buyers and sellers are allowing for a clean view of what is happening in the market with no code functionality applied.
The statistics are not isolated to their desired profile type as this provides the ability to use the volume profile type and delta values and vice versa, allowing users to choose which UI representation they want but which data.
This allows users to get both parts of the picture at any one time!
Using the tick data provided i am able to accurately caclulate the information, however this means for historical data there is none until the script is run for a period of time without stopping.
The tool is a method of providing flow data to the tradingview community, it can allow for good confluences at key levels of interaction E.G., key swing points/S/R points is when its accuracy for trading shines and can give you a good understanding of whats
happening at that time in the market.
Highly recommend dialing the ticksize manually. this provides greater consistency, auto ticksize was made for entry level users to quickly get a feel of the indicator but manually tuning to get the data you require without too much noise is very useful.
TO DO:
Sessions: accounting for Asia,Europe and North America
Tick based candles. e.g number of ticks before a new candle is generated.
Delta Continuum SpaceManBTCDelta Continuum SpaceManBTC
This is a tool that ive made with a brand new code base, to assist traders of all timeframes.
The new version of this tool makes use of the intra data to collect the tick for tick data that can be provided, this allows the provisioning of orderflow on tradingview.
Using a calculation of pure tick data and volume calculations, the display is created allowing the means to display a bid and ask seperation functionality to show the trades taking place in a market.
Taking account for this real time data it can show the exact moments a market participant is taking a trade.
This tool is an advanced way of determining the levels of which point is being interacted with to display the points at which a seller has stepped in to interact with a level, providing additional confluences when taking a trade.
Typically the best use case for this indicator is to see when their is a point of trapped traders in the trade, e.g. late longing resistance or late shorting support. Works best on futures contracts due to the high levels of execution volume in comparison.
Highly recommend dialing the ticksize manually. The ticksize for this indicator is best used manually as it allows for greater consistency when seeing who is participating at what level, as auto ticksize,
focuses on the volatility of the previous candle to display some data for the current candle. Now this will make it easier to use, it can reduce the consistency of the indicator when providing data.
Autoticksize will still be useful and will provide some confluence to the new flow traders.
to generate the data the candle must be the realtime candle and will not generate for historical candles, however this data for the real time candle will be only generated from the exact point in time to which the candle is loaded.
The indicator can show both the bid/ask split but alternatively the user can choose to just show the delta instead for ease of viewing.
TO DO:
Release the ticksize candles, to allow for tickbased charts and not just time based.
Realtime Volume Stats Panel w Delta, Buy/Sell%, Cumulative DeltaWhat is it?
Displays several realtime volume stats for each bar/candle.
Although it was originally created to be an assist tool for the Market Footprint (available as a separate indicator) to consolidate the numbers into a neat panel below, it can be used independently as an Orderflow Analysis tool as well.
It currently displays the following:
(1) Net Delta Volume for the bar; (2) Total Volume for the bar; (3) Cumulative Delta Volume for bars plotted up till this point (i.e., from the time the tool started collecting realtime data);
(4) Buy Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar; and, (5) Sell Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar.
All labels/colors etc. are configurable to suit your aesthetics.
All data are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REAL-TIME BARS. The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays, and the better your analysis can potentially be.
Note that the data gets reset every time (a) any of the options is changed, (b) the market is switched, (c) the browser is refreshed, or (d) the script is reloaded
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded, the previous symbol's data is lost. So if you intend to monitor a symbol closely, you would need to keep it loaded all the time (and without tinkering with any of the Settings).
Who is it for?
For ultra short term traders who are used to looking at short term auction orderflow (and price action) to catch buy/sell anomalies and accurate trade entries
For traders who are already using Market Footprint but want the volume stats to be displayed on the bottom pane making for a cleaner interface.
For traders (, irrespective of their method of trading,) who wish to understand what is happening under the hood when a certain price action unfolds. (Who is in control, who got trapped, what does liquidity or the lack thereof look like, etc.)
Footprint
What is it?
The classic Market Footprint chart for realtime bars (; at least the closest I could get it to anyway).
The tool has 3 modes, which display different volume data for the traded prices of each bar: (1) Up/Down Volume Footprint: At-price Up Volume and At-price Down Volume ; (2) Total Volume Footprint: Total volume transacted at each price; and, (3) Delta Volume Footprint: Difference between At-price Up Volume and At-price Down Volume . You can choose which mode you want from Settings. Each at-price value is color-coded based on its strength/weakness.
Maximum at-price volume for a bar can be chosen to be displayed in a separate color. This will serve (and be shown) as the VPOC ( Volume Point of Control). Note: This is not technically precise as VPOC is a slightly different concept. (But should be the same for most candles).
Below the bars (or above, depending on how you configure it), are displayed the following:(1) Net Delta Volume for the bar; (2) Total Volume for the bar; (3) Cumulative Delta Volume for bars plotted up till this point (i.e., from the time the tool started collecting realtime data); (4) Buy Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar; and, (5) Sell Volume for the bar as a percentage of the total volume for the bar. Each value here is color-coded as well.
In addition, a custom candle option has been provided. These are ON by default and displays 'thinner' candles for, arguably, good readability with Footprint in Up/Down Volume Mode. With custom candles, Tradingview's default candles will be rendered redundant and can be disabled. If you wish to switch to Tradingview's candles, it is recommended that you use either hollow candle mode or bar mode to view the footprint properly. (Filled-body candles will hide the values). Note that with the Footprint chart in either "Total Volume" or "Delta Volume" mode, you are better off using Tradingview's hollow candles or bars.
Almost all labels/colors etc. are configurable to suit your aesthetics.
All data are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR REAL-TIME BARS. The longer you keep a chart open with the study enabled, the more data it collects and displays, and the better your analysis can potentially be. Note that the data gets reset every time (a) any of the options is changed, (b) the market is switched, (c) the browser is refreshed, or (d) the script is reloaded
DATA ISN'T STORED. I.e., every time a new symbol is loaded, the previous symbol's data is lost. So if you intend to monitor a symbol closely, you would need to keep it loaded all the time (and without tinkering with any of the Settings in between).
Who is it for?
For ultra short term traders who are used to looking at short term auction orderflow (and price action) to catch buy/sell anomalies and accurate trade entries
For traders looking to get into footprint chart reading and who wish to give it a go and learn before investing in expensive platforms/tools.
For traders (, irrespective of their method of trading,) who wish to understand what is happening under the hood when a certain price action unfolds.
Who is in control, who got trapped, what does liquidity or the lack thereof look like, etc.
Mode 2: Total Volume Footprint. This also shows how Tradingvoew's hollow candles can be used with the tool.
Mode 3: Delta Volume Footprint
Tape Speed (static)Variation of my prior Tape Speed indicator.
This one lets you input the ticks per second value that you want to compare the real-time data to, and lets you skip the waiting time required in the other script to begin producing averages.
ex:
You want to compare the rate of incoming ticks to the speed of 10 ticks per 10 seconds. The indicator will automatically start the comparison with the live data, and display the speed on the table. It will also display the ratio (2x, 3x, 4x, etc.) of the real-time speed compared to the chosen input value on the speedometer and the horizontal (white, aqua) bars.
