Cumulative Volume Delta with MACVD is a volume-based indicator that helps analyze buying and selling pressure in the market. It tracks the difference between buying volume and selling volume, showing whether the market is being accumulated or distributed.
How CVD Works
Volume Delta Calculation:
If price closes higher than the previous bar → Volume is added to CVD (buying pressure).
If price closes lower than the previous bar → Volume is subtracted from CVD (selling pressure).
CVD Cumulative Calculation:
Keeps a running total of volume delta over time.
If the CVD line is rising, buyers are in control; if falling, sellers dominate.
Moving Average on CVD:
A moving average (MA) smooths out the CVD line, helping identify trends more clearly.
Common choices: EMA (Exponential MA) or SMA (Simple MA).

📈 Trend-Based Filtering – Utilizes an adaptive trend detection algorithm to refine liquidity sweeps based on market direction, reducing noise.
🎨 Customizable Visualization – Modify colors, thresholds, and display settings to tailor the indicator to your trading style.
🔔 Alerts for Liquidity Sweeps & Trend Changes – Stay ahead of the market by receiving alerts when significant liquidity events or trend shifts occur.
How to Use:
🛠 Add the Indicator : Add the Liquidity Sweep Filter to your chart and configure the settings based on your preferred sensitivity. Adjust the major sweep threshold to filter out smaller moves.
📊 Analyze Liquidity Zones and trend direction : Look for liquidation levels where large buy or sell stops have been triggered. Major sweeps indicate strong reactions, while minor sweeps show gradual liquidity absorption. You can also see which levels are high in liquidity by the transparency of the levels.
🔔 Set-Up Alerts : Use the in-built alerts so you don't miss a trading opportunity
How It Works :
The Liquidity Sweep Filter detects liquidity events by tracking swing highs and lows (defined as a pivot where neighboring candles are lower/higher than it) where traders are likely to have placed stop-loss orders. It evaluates volume and price action, marking areas where liquidity has been absorbed by the market. Additionally, the integrated trend filter ensures that only relevant liquidity sweeps are highlighted based on market direction, lows in an uptrend and highs in a downtrend. The trend filter works by calculating a basis, and defining trend shifts when the closing price crosses over the upper or lower bands.The included volume profile further enhances analysis by displaying key trading zones where price may react.

Volume Metrics & Market CapitalizationThis Pine Script indicator provides a comparative view of volume metrics and market capitalization to help traders analyze relative volume strength in the context of a stock’s overall size.
Key Features:
Volume Formatting:
Converts numerical values into readable units (K for thousand, M for million, B for billion, T for trillion).
Volume Metrics:
Displays current bar volume, cumulative daily volume, and 30-day average volume.
Market Capitalization Calculation:
Uses the outstanding shares multiplied by closing price to estimate market cap.
Table Display:
Shows all these values in an easy-to-read table in the bottom-right of the chart.
How It Helps Compare Relative Volume to Market Cap
Relative Volume Strength
By comparing current volume and 30-day average volume, traders can quickly gauge if today’s volume is unusually high or low.
If daily volume exceeds the 30-day average, it suggests increased market interest in the stock.
Market Cap Context
Market cap provides a reference for whether a stock is large-cap, mid-cap, or small-cap, influencing how volume should be interpreted.
A high volume surge in a low market cap stock may indicate stronger momentum compared to the same volume change in a large-cap stock.
Liquidity and Volatility Signals
Comparing volume to market cap helps determine liquidity—stocks with low market cap but high volume may be more volatile.
Example: A small-cap stock with $50M market cap trading $20M daily volume is seeing 40% turnover, a significant indicator of strong movement.
Practical Use Case
Day Traders: Spot stocks experiencing unusual volume surges relative to their market cap, identifying potential breakout or momentum plays.
Swing Traders: Assess if a stock is trading at above-average volume levels, confirming strength in trends.
Investors: Understand liquidity and potential institutional interest in stocks, as larger players typically trade in high market-cap names with sustained volume.
This indicator is a quick-glance tool for identifying high-volume stocks relative to their size, helping traders make more informed decisions on potential opportunities. 🚀
ICT Balanced Price Range - Double FVG with VolumeThis is an FVG indicator combined with volume to identify moments when a sudden volume spike creates a price gap.
Additionally, I've added the ICT Balanced Price Range, which occurs when two opposing FVGs form a connected gap. This gap has a high probability of reversal and is one of the key signs of liquidity sweeps.
Unlike other FVG indicators that filter FVGs based on ATR, average price, or range, I believe such methods lead to overfitting and may not work across multiple pairs with a single setting. Instead, I only filter FVGs when there are consecutive overlapping FVGs.
The indicator includes full functionality:
Candle color customization
FVG line color customization
FVG fill color customization
BPR color customization
Adjustable average volume and volume threshold
Highlighting candles with abnormal volume
Enjoy and make sure to backtest thoroughly before using!
RSI of Accumulation/DistributionHow to Use the RSI of Accumulation/Distribution Indicator:
1. Identify Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
Overbought: When the RSI of the ADL is above 70, it indicates that the asset may be overbought and could be due for a pullback or correction.
Oversold: When the RSI of the ADL is below 30, it suggests that the asset may be oversold and could be poised for a rebound.
2. Look for Divergences:
Bullish Divergence: If the price is making lower lows while the RSI of the ADL is making higher lows, it can signal a potential reversal to the upside.
Bearish Divergence: If the price is making higher highs while the RSI of the ADL is making lower highs, it can indicate a potential reversal to the downside.
3. Confirm Trend Strength:
Use the RSI of the ADL to confirm the strength of a trend. For example, if the RSI is consistently above 50 during an uptrend, it suggests strong buying pressure and the trend is likely to continue.
Conversely, if the RSI is consistently below 50 during a downtrend, it indicates strong selling pressure and the trend is likely to persist.
4. Monitor for Reversals:
When the RSI of the ADL crosses above 50, it can signal a potential bullish reversal.
When the RSI of the ADL crosses below 50, it can signal a potential bearish reversal.
Is It Worth It?
The RSI of the Accumulation/Distribution Line can be a valuable tool for traders looking to gain insights into market momentum and trend strength. Here are a few reasons why it might be worth considering:
1. Volume and Price Combination: By combining price action (RSI) with volume-based analysis (ADL), this indicator provides a more comprehensive view of market dynamics.
2. Divergence Detection: It helps identify divergences between price and volume, which can be early signals of potential reversals.
3. Trend Confirmation: It offers additional confirmation of trend strength and potential reversal points, helping traders make more informed decisions.
However, like any indicator, it's important to use it in conjunction with other analysis methods and not rely on it solely for trading decisions. Backtesting the indicator on historical data and combining it with other technical analysis tools can improve its effectiveness.
Feel free to test the script in TradingView and see how it performs in different market conditions. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, let me know! 😊

Volatility-Volume Index (VVI)Volatility-Volume Index (VVI) – Indicator Description
The Volatility-Volume Index (VVI) is a custom trading indicator designed to identify market consolidation and anticipate breakouts by combining volatility (ATR) and trading volume into a single metric.
How It Works
Measures Volatility : Uses a 14-period Average True Range (ATR) to gauge price movement intensity.
Tracks Volume : Monitors trading activity to identify accumulation or distribution phases.
Normalization : ATR and volume are normalized using their respective 20-period Simple Moving Averages (SMA) for a balanced comparison.
Interpretation
VVI < 1: Low volatility and volume → Consolidation phase (range-bound market).
VVI > 1: Increased volatility and/or volume → Potential breakout or trend continuation.
How to Use VVI
Detect Consolidation:
Look for extended periods where VVI remains below 1.
Confirm with sideways price movement in a narrow range.
Anticipate Breakouts:
A spike above 1 signals a possible trend shift or breakout.
Why Use VVI?
Unlike traditional volatility indicators (ATR, Bollinger Bands) or volume-based tools (VWAP), VVI combines both elements to provide a clearer picture of consolidation zones and breakout potential.
Chaikin Money Flow with Moving AverageThis indicator combines the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) with a moving average, helping traders analyze buying/selling pressure and whether it's increasing or decreasing.
What It Does:
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) developed by Marc Chaikin is a volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution over a specified period.
A moving average is applied to CMF to reduce noise and smooth trends, making it easier to identify sustained market sentiment shifts.
How to Use It?
CMF helps confirm trend strength and potential reversals. We reduces false signals from CMF by smoothing fluctuations and making it easier to spot trends.
A CMF value above zero is a sign of strength, and a value below zero is a sign of weakness.
A rising price with a falling CMF (below moving average) is a bearish divergence and a possible reversal of the uptrend.
Similarly, a falling price with a rising CMF (above moving average) is a bullish divergence and again signals a possible reversal of the downtrend.
Configurable Parameters:
CMF Length: Adjusts how many periods are used for CMF calculation.
MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or T3 for smoothing.
MA Length: Controls how much smoothing is applied.
This tool is great for traders looking to improve volume-based trend analysis while filtering out short-term noise.

The image above thoroughly outlines what each metric in the delta boxes shows!
Metrics In Delta Boxes
"δ:", " δ%:", " ⧎: ", " ◭: ", " ⧩: "
δ Delta (Difference between buy and sell volume)
δ% Delta Ratio (Delta as a percentage of total volume)
⧎ Total Volume At Level (Total volume at the price area)
◭ Total Buy Volume At Level (Total buy volume at the price area)
⧩ Total Sell Volume At Level (total sell volume at the price area)
Each metric comes with a corresponding symbol.
That said, until you become comfortable with the symbol, you can also turn on the descriptive labels setting!
The image above exemplifies the feature.
The image above shows Footprint IQ's full power!
Additionally, traders with an upgraded TradingView plan can make use of the "1-Second" feature Footprint IQ offers!
The image above shows each footprint generated using 1-second volume data. 1-second data is highly granular compared to 1-minute data and, consequently, each footprint is exceptionally more accurate!
Imbalance Detection
Footprint IQ pro is capable of detecting user-defined delta imbalances.
The image above further explains how Footprint IQ detects imbalances!
The imbalance percentage is customizable in the settings, and is set to 70% by default.
Therefore,
When net delta is positive, and the positive net delta constitutes >=70% of the total volume, a buying imbalance will be detected (upwards triangle).
When net delta is negative, and the negative net delta constitutes >=70% of the total volume, a buying imbalance will be detected (downwards triangle).
Stacked Imbalance Detection
In addition to imbalance detection, Footprint IQ Pro can also detect stacked imbalances!
The image above shows Footprint IQ Pro detecting stacked imbalances!
Stacked imbalances occur when consecutive imbalances at sequential price areas occur. Stacked imbalances are generally interpreted as significant price moves that are supported by volume, rather than a significant result with disproportionate effort.
The criteria for stacked imbalance detection (how many imbalances must occur at sequential price areas) is customizable in the settings.
The default value is three. Therefore, when three imbalances occur at sequential price areas, golden triangles will begin to print to show a stacked imbalance.
Additionally, traders can set alerts for when stacked imbalances occur!
Highest +Delta and Highest -Delta Levels
In addition to being a fully-fledged Footprint indicator, Footprint IQ Pro goes one step further by detecting price areas where the greater +Delta and -Delta are!
The image above shows price behavior near highest +Delta price areas detected by Footprint IQ!
These +Delta levels are considered important as there has been strong interest from buyers at these price areas when they are traded at.
It's expected that these levels can function as support points that are supported by volume.
The image above shows a similar function for resistance points!
Blue lines = High +Delta Detected Price Areas
Red lines = High -Delta Detected Price Areas
Value Area Detection
Similar to traditional volume profile, Footprint IQ Pro displays the value area per bar.
Green lines next to each footprint show the value area for the bar. The value area % is customizable in the settings.
CVD Levels
Footprint IQ Pro is capable of storing historical volume delta information to provide CVD measurements at each price area!
The image above exemplifies this feature!
When this feature is enabled, you will see the CVD of each price area, rather than the net delta!
And that's it!
Thank you so much to TradingView for offering the greatest charting platform for everyone to create on!
If you have any feature requests you'd like to see for Footprint IQ, please feel free to share them with us!

Pivot Candles with MFI Opacity (No Plot)How to Use the Pivot Candles with MFI Opacity Indicator for Trade Entries and Position Management
Overview
This indicator is designed not only to display key pivot levels (support and resistance) and Money Flow Index (MFI) signals on your chart, but also to help you structure systematic order entries and position management. By combining pivot levels with dynamic MFI-based candle opacity, the indicator provides a visual framework that technical analysts and quants can use to time buy and sell stop orders as well as to pyramid positions or take profits.
Trade Entry with Pivot Levels
Buy Stop Orders Above R1:
Concept: In many technical setups, resistance levels such as R1 are viewed as potential breakout points. A buy stop order placed just above R1 allows you to enter a long position only when price decisively breaks the prior resistance, confirming bullish momentum.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates pivot levels based on the previous higher‑timeframe bar, so R1 is “locked in” for the current period.
When the current candle closes above R1, it may signal a breakout.
Technical analysts often place a buy stop order slightly above R1 (for example, a few ticks or pips above the level) to confirm the move.
Practical Application:
Quants and systematic traders can program their models to monitor when the current close exceeds R1.
Once this condition is met, a buy stop order is triggered to capture the breakout move, ensuring that you only participate if the price decisively moves upward.
Sell Stop Orders Below S1:
Concept: Conversely, S1 acts as a support level. A sell stop order placed just below S1 is designed to capture a breakdown. This order is activated when price closes below S1, indicating that selling pressure may be overwhelming.
How It Works:
With pivot levels fixed from the previous higher‑timeframe bar, S1 provides a reference for potential support.
A close below S1 can be interpreted as a sign of a bearish reversal or a continuation of a downtrend.
Practical Application:
Quants set up their systems to watch for a break below S1.
A sell stop order is positioned just below S1 to ensure that if the support level fails, the system can quickly initiate a short position to capture the downward move.
Using MFI for Position Management
Pyramiding and Profit Taking:
Dynamic Candle Opacity:
The Money Flow Index (MFI) in this indicator not only provides overbought/oversold alerts but also controls the opacity of your candlesticks. When MFI readings are high, the candles become more opaque, indicating strong buying pressure. Conversely, lower MFI values lead to more transparent candles, suggesting reduced momentum.
Pyramiding Long Positions:
Strategy:
In a strong trend, technical analysts might choose to add to a winning position gradually—a process known as pyramiding.
Implementation:
As long as the price remains above R1 and MFI readings are supportive (high and consistent), you may consider adding to your long position incrementally.
Each new buy stop order can be set above R1 with slightly adjusted trigger levels to capture further breakout strength.
Risk Management:
Quants use the MFI reading as a risk filter; if MFI begins to drop or the candles become significantly more transparent, it may be a cue to stop pyramiding or even begin taking profits.
Taking Profit Using MFI and Pivot Reversals:
Profit Targeting:
When price reaches higher resistance levels (e.g., R2 or R3) or shows signs of overextension in conjunction with extreme MFI levels (for instance, a sudden drop in MFI after a strong rally), you can begin taking partial profits.
Systematic Exit:
A systematic strategy might include scaling out of the position as the price approaches the next resistance level or when the MFI indicates that buying momentum is waning.
Similarly, for short positions entered below S1, profit targets might be set near subsequent support levels, with exits triggered if MFI suggests a reversal.
Summary
Entry Orders:
Place buy stop orders just above R1 to capture breakouts.
Place sell stop orders just below S1 to capture breakdowns.
Position Management with MFI:
Use MFI-based candle opacity as a visual indicator of momentum.
Pyramid positions in the direction of the trend when MFI confirms strength.
Consider partial exits if MFI readings start to reverse or if the price nears the next pivot level.
By following this systematic approach, technical analysts and quants can use the indicator not only as a visual tool but as an integral part of an automated or semi-automated trading system that emphasizes disciplined entries, pyramiding, and profit-taking.
High Volume Points [BigBeluga]High Volume Points is a unique volume-based indicator designed to highlight key liquidity zones where significant market activity occurs. By visualizing high-volume pivots with dynamically sized markers and optional support/resistance levels, traders can easily identify areas of interest for potential breakouts, liquidity grabs, and trend reversals.
🔵 Key Features:
High Volume Points Visualization:
The indicator detects pivot highs and lows with exceptionally high trading volume.
Each high-volume point is displayed as a concentric circle, with its size dynamically increasing based on the volume magnitude.
The exact volume at the pivot is shown within the circle.
Dynamic Levels from Volume Pivots:
Horizontal levels are drawn from detected high-volume pivots to act as support or resistance.
Traders can use these levels to anticipate potential liquidity zones and market reactions.
Liquidity Grabs Detection:
If price crosses a high-volume level and grabs liquidity, the level automatically changes to a dashed line.
This feature helps traders track areas where institutional activity may have occurred.
Volume-Based Filtering:
Users can filter volume points by a customizable threshold from 0 to 6, allowing them to focus only on the most significant high-volume pivots.
Lower thresholds capture more volume points, while higher thresholds highlight only the most extreme liquidity events.
🔵 Usage:
Identify strong support/resistance zones based on high-volume pivots.
Track liquidity grabs when price crosses a high-volume level and converts it into a dashed line.
Filter volume points based on significance to remove noise and focus on key areas.
Use volume circles to gauge the intensity of market interest at specific price points.
High Volume Points is an essential tool for traders looking to track institutional activity, analyze liquidity zones, and refine their entries based on volume-driven market structure.

SIOVERSE EMA 15 with Buy/Sell Signals, Support & ResistanceThis Pine Script indicator is designed for TradingView and combines Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), support and resistance levels, buy/sell signals, and volume percentage labels filtered by buy/sell conditions. It is a comprehensive tool for traders who want to analyze price trends, identify key levels, and make informed decisions based on volume and EMA crossovers.
Key Features of the Indicator
EMA 15 (Purple Dashed Line):
A 15-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is plotted on the chart as a dashed purple line.
This EMA helps traders identify short-term trends and potential entry/exit points.
Hidden EMA 21 and EMA 34:
The 21-period and 34-period EMAs are calculated but not displayed on the chart.
These EMAs are used to generate buy and sell signals based on crossovers.
Buy/Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: Occurs when the EMA 21 crosses above the EMA 34. A green "BUY" label is displayed below the candle.
Sell Signal: Occurs when the EMA 21 crosses below the EMA 34. A red "SELL" label is displayed above the candle.
These signals help traders identify potential trend reversals or continuations.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Support: The lowest price level over the last lookback_period candles, plotted as a green dashed horizontal line.
Resistance: The highest price level over the last lookback_period candles, plotted as a red dashed horizontal line.
These levels help traders identify key price zones for potential breakouts or reversals.
Volume Percentage Labels (Filtered by Buy/Sell Signals):
The volume percentage is calculated relative to the average volume over the last volume_lookback candles.
Buy Volume Label: When a buy signal occurs, a green label is displayed above the candle with the text "Buy Vol: X.XX%", where X.XX is the volume percentage.
Sell Volume Label: When a sell signal occurs, a red label is displayed below the candle with the text "Sell Vol: X.XX%", where X.XX is the volume percentage.
These labels help traders assess the strength of the buy/sell signals based on volume.
Alerts:
Alerts are triggered when buy or sell signals occur, notifying traders of potential trading opportunities.
