Burst Size Flow Divergence Large vs Small CVDOverview
A single cumulative-delta line tells you net buying or selling, but hides who is doing the pushing. Burst-Size Flow Divergence splits the flow inside each bar by the size of each volume burst — small / medium / large sub-intervals — and runs a separate signed delta on each tier. The signal is the divergence between the large-burst delta and the small-burst delta: concentrated bursts leaning one way while trickle flow leans the other. It is a flow-structure read, not a signal to trade alone.
What this is — and is NOT (read this before using)
This measures activity-burst size, not per-trade size. Pine cannot see individual trades — it sees a bar's volume and, via lower-timeframe requests, the volume of each sub-interval within the bar. "Large" here means a sub-interval that printed a lot of volume relative to normal — not a large single trade, and not "institutional." Institutions deliberately slice big orders into many small child-orders, so burst size is a proxy, not proof of who is behind the flow. The classification is honest about this, and the built-in harness is there precisely to test whether the divergence carries any information rather than to assert that it does.
Why these components are ONE tool (mashup justification)
Each stage exists because the previous one is ambiguous on its own:
Intrabar bucketing. Each lower-timeframe sub-bar is classed small/medium/large by its volume against an adaptive average, so "large" means large for this symbol and session, not a fixed lot count. A fixed threshold would misclassify on every instrument and every volatility regime.
Per-tier directional imbalance. Each tier gets its own signed delta (up sub-bar → +volume, down → −volume), expressed as net ÷ gross in — what fraction of that tier was net buying versus selling. Normalising this way lets the tiers' directions be compared apples-to-apples even though the large tier moves far less total volume than the small one.
The divergence. The large-minus-small spread is the object. Three separate delta lines would just be clutter to eyeball; the disagreement between the concentrated and the trickle flow is the actual read, so the tool computes it directly.
The calibration harness. "Concentrated bursts are informed" is a hypothesis, not a law — so when the spread is strong, the harness checks forward whether price actually followed the large tier more than the unconditional base rate, and reports Hit / Base / Edge on confirmed bars. That's what turns the divergence from a story into something you can verify on your instrument.
How it works
For each chart bar the finest available sub-bars are requested. Each is signed by close-versus-open (a tick-rule aggressor proxy) and bucketed by volume against the adaptive average. Per-tier signed volume becomes a net÷gross imbalance in , the large-minus-small spread is smoothed into the oscillator, and a strong gated spread is the divergence signal.
How to use it
Read the histogram (the large-minus-small spread): green means large bursts are accumulating while small flow lags or sells; red means large bursts are distributing. The bold line is the large-tier imbalance, the faint line the small tier. A gated turn in the spread suggests concentrated flow is leading, and is marked in the pane and — optionally — on the price chart. Always check the Coverage row (how much real sub-bar resolution the current bar received) and the Edge row (whether the divergence has actually led on this instrument). It is never a standalone trigger.
Plan-adaptive & data note
Sub-bar precision auto-selects the finest your plan serves (seconds on Premium+, else 1-minute). Lower-timeframe data exists only for recent bars, so older bars fall back to whole-bar flow and the coverage read shows it. The tool needs an instrument with real volume — a cash index reports none, so use the futures. The adaptive average and the calibration harness advance only on confirmed bars, so they never drift or inflate intrabar. Edge is in-sample, no costs — a study aid, not a backtest.
Originality
The parts are public: cumulative volume delta, the close-vs-open (tick-rule) aggressor proxy, and the general idea of size-partitioned / flow-toxicity order flow. What's assembled here is the specific construction — the adaptive intrabar size-tiering, the net÷gross per-tier imbalance that makes tiers of very different volume directly comparable, the large-minus-small divergence as the headline object, and the forward-calibration harness that scores it against the base rate. This is a clean-room implementation; no third-party Pine code is reused.

Projected Volume (Intraperiod Estimate)Projected Volume (Intraperiod Estimate)
════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW
Projected Volume replaces the standard volume study with a live, forward-looking
estimate of where the current bar's volume is likely to finish. Volume is only
known with certainty once a bar closes, which makes it hard to judge in real time
whether the bar in progress is trading heavy or light. This indicator solves that
by drawing the volume already traded as a solid column and projecting the
remaining, not-yet-traded volume as a hollow cap on top — so the anticipated
final volume of the developing bar is visible at a glance. The projection is
rebuilt on every update of the live bar and adapts to your chart timeframe and to
the data your subscription can access.
WHAT IT PLOTS
• Directional volume columns on every bar — green when close ≥ open, red when
close < open (the standard volume read you already use).
• On the current, unfinished bar only:
– a solid column for the volume traded so far;
– a hollow outline extending from the top of the solid column up to the
projected final volume;
– an optional label with the projected total and the percent of the period
elapsed.
As the bar fills in, the solid portion grows and the hollow cap shrinks toward
zero. At the close, projected equals actual.
HOW THE PROJECTION WORKS
The indicator uses two methods and selects between them automatically based on
whether sub-bar (intrabar) data is available.
1) Intraperiod volume profile — primary method
For each of the last N completed bars, the script requests lower-timeframe
volume and measures how volume accumulates through the period: what fraction of
the period's total volume is typically complete by the end of each time-slice —
the classic "how much of the day's volume is usually done by the first hour, the
second hour…" shape. That cumulative curve is averaged across the lookback window
to form a typical accumulation profile.
For the developing bar the script determines how far through the period it has
progressed, reads the typical cumulative fraction f at that point, and estimates:
projected total = volume so far ÷ f
Because the profile captures the real intraperiod shape — the U-shaped session
volume common in equities, or the flatter distribution of 24/7 crypto — the
estimate reflects typical behavior rather than assuming volume arrives at a
constant rate.
2) Average-of-increment — base-resolution fallback
When the chart is already at the lowest interval your data plan provides (for
example a 1-minute chart on a plan without seconds data), there is no sub-bar to
sample and the profile method does not apply. In that case the script projects:
projected total = volume so far + (1 − elapsed) × average volume of last N bars
This equals a typical bar early in the period, tracks the realized volume as the
bar fills, always sits at or above the volume already traded, and converges to
the actual figure at the close. It requires no lower-timeframe data and cannot
error. Elapsed time is measured from the clock, so no sub-bar feed is needed.
Automatic method selection
The script detects whether a usable lower timeframe exists that your plan can
serve. If so, it uses the profile method — and floors sub-sampling at one minute,
so 5m / 15m / 1h charts still build a genuine profile from 1-minute intrabars. If
not, it uses the average-of-increment fallback. The active method is shown in the
on-chart label, where a "· avg" suffix denotes fallback mode.
SETTINGS
• Intraperiod slices (12 / 24 / 48) — number of time-slices used to model the
accumulation curve within each period. 24 is roughly hourly on a daily chart.
• Lookback periods — number of completed bars averaged for the profile and the
fallback average (default 30).
• Auto sub-period timeframe — when on, the script chooses the intrabar sampling
resolution automatically. Turn off to set it manually.
• Manual sub-period timeframe — used when Auto is off; must be lower than the
chart timeframe.
• Allow seconds sub-sampling — off by default. Enable only if your plan provides
seconds data; when off, the script never requests sub-minute data and therefore
cannot error on a 1-minute chart.
• Min % elapsed before projecting — suppresses unstable projections in the
opening moments of a new bar.
• Up / Down volume colors and a toggle for the projection label.
READING THE LABEL
The label reads, for example, "Proj 1.2M (35% elapsed)" — the projected final
volume and how far the current period has progressed. A "· avg" suffix indicates
the average-of-increment fallback is active because intrabar data is unavailable
at that resolution.
BEHAVIOR, NOTES & LIMITATIONS
• Real-time by design. The projection exists only on the current, unfinished bar
and recalculates as that bar develops. Historical bars display actual traded
volume only — the indicator does not restate closed bars, but the live estimate
moves tick to tick as new volume arrives. This is expected behavior for a
forward projection, not hidden repainting.
• It is an estimate, not a guarantee. Accuracy is lowest in the first fraction of
a new bar and improves as the bar fills; the "Min % elapsed" input guards the
earliest, noisiest moments.
• The profile method depends on intrabar data availability, which varies by
symbol and subscription. Where it is unavailable, the indicator degrades
gracefully to the average-based method.
• Works across asset classes and timeframes. Because elapsed progress is measured
from intrabar count where available (and otherwise from the clock), it adapts to
both continuous (crypto) and session-based (equities/futures) markets.
• Volume reflects the data feed of the chart's symbol; index or aggregated tickers
may report volume differently from a single exchange.
CONCEPT
The tool pairs a standard directional volume histogram with an
intraperiod-accumulation model and presents the realized-versus-projected split
visually as a filled column plus a hollow cap. The aim is a single, glanceable
read on whether the bar in progress is on pace to finish heavy or light relative
to recent norms. Indicator
Adaptive Volume-Delta Score (VDS) | Order-Flow & DivergenceThe Adaptive Volume-Delta Score (VDS) is a technical analysis tool for the statistical classification of volume-delta activity. It utilizes an Adaptive-Switch Logic that toggles between historical bar reconstruction (request.security_lower_tf) and a real-time Rolling-Window Live-Tracker.
🛠 Core Functionality
1. The VDS Engine (Statistical Mapping)
Wick-Weighted Delta: The calculation is based on wick-weighting: (close-open)/range * volume. This weights the delta according to price displacement within the bar.
Symmetrical Mapping (-4.5 to 4.5): Raw values are statistically categorized via ta.percentrank and mapped onto a fixed scale.
+4.5 (100% Rank): The absolute maximum within the chosen lookback period.
+2.25 (75% Rank): Significant activity relative to the period.
0 (Median): The statistical midpoint (50% Rank).
-4.5 (0% Rank / Min.): The absolute floor of activity for the period.
Visualization Logic: This mapping is primarily used to plot volume activity and delta aggression within the same visual space, providing a consistent reference frame for comparing relative dominance.
Context Dependency: Signals are not absolute recommendations. The significance depends heavily on the Lookback Period, Thresholds, and the specific market environment.
2. Adaptive Logic & Data Integrity
Signal-Bridge: On lower timeframes (LTF), the indicator simulates the behavior of the Main Timeframe (Main-TF) using a rolling window. This allows for the observation of delta development while the bar is still forming.
🛡️ Integrity Dashboard: Visualizes the statistical consistency between live data and the historical baseline. Deviations (e.g., due to Pine Script's 5000-bar limit) are displayed transparently as warnings.
3. Dynamic Alert System
Automation: Alerts utilize the alert() function with the "Any function call" setting.
Intelligence: Messages are fully dynamic, reporting the mode (Live vs. History), signal type, safeguard status, and data integrity.
🚀 Quick Calibration Guide
Sensitivity: A longer Lookback Period stabilizes the statistics; a shorter period makes the score more reactive to short-term volume spikes.
Threshold Setup: Calibrate the Dominance Threshold (default 3.0) to isolate extreme aggression. Use the Volume Threshold to ensure a minimum level of market participation.
Visual Match: Activate the Price Chart Overlays and adjust your thresholds until the markers (Diamonds) correspond with your individual market interpretation.
Dashboard Check: Monitor the Confidence Score. If red warning values appear, consider adjusting your Lookback or Timeframe to maintain a stable statistical foundation.
🎨 Visual Guide: Understanding the Scale
Navy/Blue Columns: Standard activity within the selected statistical window.
Gray Columns: Phases below the Low Volume Threshold, indicating low relative market participation.
Lime/Fuchsia (Dominance): Occurs when volume and delta simultaneously exceed the defined thresholds (Aggression).
Olive/Maroon (Divergence): Period delta is positive/negative while price action is opposite (Decoupling/Absorption).
Diamonds: Optional projection of oscillator signals directly onto the candles in the price chart.
⚠️ Important Technical Notifications
The "Signal Bridge" (Rolling vs. Fixed Window):
HTF-Request Mode (Fixed): Measures delta starting from the candle open (e.g., 12:00 PM).
Live-Transfer Mode (Rolling): Analyzes a sliding window (e.g., the last 120 minutes). This provides a Lead-Time Advantage, detecting aggression as it happens regardless of the HTF clock. Both modes converge at the HTF bar close.
Data Integrity & Anomalies:
Session Gaps: High Main-TFs (like D1) can be affected by irregular session hours (e.g., Forex Sunday). Always monitor the Confidence Score (🛡️).
Replay Mode:
Displays "No Stat. Control" if historical LTF data is unavailable. We prioritize data honesty over estimated data.
🔔 How to set Alerts (Smart Signals)
Preparation: Open the VDS settings. Under "Alert Settings", choose which signals should trigger: Dominance, Divergence, or both.
Condition: Select "Adaptive Volume-Delta Score...".
Trigger Logic: Change setting to "Any alert() function call".
Frequency: Managed by the script (once_per_bar_close) to ensure statistical honesty.
Timeframe Choice: Use the Main-TF for final confirmed signals, or a Lower-Timeframe for Live-Tracker early warnings.
📊 Statistical Transparency (Data Window)
Raw metrics are displayed exclusively in the PulseWire Data Window to keep the chart clean:
Runtime-Safe LTF: The analysis interval currently in use.
Max Safe Lookback: The mathematical limit for your current setup (5,000-bar ceiling).
Active Bar Limit: The actual usable data foundation.
Converted Sum of LTF Request Bars: The historical baseline used as an anchor for the Live-Tracker.
Relative Live-Data Size: Numerical basis of the Confidence Score (100% = Perfect Integrity).
Overall Requested Bars: Total data points analyzed within your Lookback Period. Indicator
OutsiderEdge - Intrabar X-Ray⚠ This script uses request.footprint() and request.security_lower_tf(), which require a PulseWire Premium plan or higher. The script will not load on Free or Plus plans.
Overview — What is X-Ray?
X-Ray is an open-source overlay indicator that dissects every candle into its sub-candle components, footprint data, effort-vs-result dynamics, and trap detection — all in one tool. Instead of guessing what happened inside a bar, X-Ray shows you.
It combines lower-timeframe candle decomposition with native footprint volume profiling, then layers on analytical modules that classify each bar's auction quality and warn for potential traps. Think of it as a bar-by-bar microscope that turns a single candle into a full story.
🔹 FEATURES
Tooltip Sub-Candle Viewer
Hover over any bar to see its internal structure: all lower-timeframe candles rendered as text-based charts inside the tooltip, with OHLC values, volume, bull/bear ratio, and summary statistics. Choose between a Colored or Black/White theme.
X-Ray Candle Coloring
Recolors your chart candles based on the bull/bear ratio of the sub-candles inside each bar. A bar that closed green but was internally 80% bearish sub-candles will show up differently than a uniformly bullish bar — exposing hidden weakness or strength at a glance.
Mini-Chart
Draws a real candlestick mini-chart to the right of the current bar, showing all lower-timeframe candles as actual visual candles with wicks and bodies. Gives you an instant intra-bar picture without switching timeframes.
Native Footprint Dashboard
A full volume footprint table rendered in the top-right corner using PulseWire's native request.footprint() data. Displays buy and sell volume per price row, POC highlight, Value Area boundaries (VAH/VAL), delta, total volume, imbalance markers, and heatmap-style cell coloring — all without leaving your chart.
Effort vs Result Analysis
Classifies each bar by comparing volume effort against price result:
High Effort / Low Result — big volume, small body. Possible absorption or exhaustion.
Low Effort / High Result — small volume, large body. Vacuum/low-liquidity move.
Efficient Auction — delta-aligned, strong body, healthy volume. Clean price discovery.
Inefficient Move — delta opposed to direction with notable volume. Divergence warning.
Trap Detector
Scans each bar for structural trap patterns using delta, wick ratios, and body proportions:
Long Trap Risk — positive delta but bearish close with dominant upper wick.
Short Trap Risk — negative delta but bullish close with dominant lower wick.
Breakout Failed — wide range, tiny body, wicks dominate. Likely a fake move.
Continuation Likely — aligned delta, strong body, minimal wicks. Trend integrity intact.
Tutor Mode
An educational panel (bottom-right) that walks through each bar step by step: aggression direction, price reaction, imbalance stacking, POC location, volume context, and a final conclusion. Designed to help traders learn how to read order flow by seeing the reasoning broken down in real time.
🔹 HOW TO USE
Add X-Ray to your chart. Make sure your PulseWire plan supports request.footprint() (Premium or higher).
Hover over any bar — the tooltip reveals the full sub-candle breakdown.
Check the candle coloring for quick internal sentiment at a glance.
Open the footprint dashboard (top-right) for row-by-row buy/sell volume, POC, and imbalance markers.
Look at the chart markers for Effort vs Result classifications and Trap signals.
Enable Tutor Mode to see a step-by-step explanation of the current bar's auction dynamics.
🔹 SETTINGS SUMMARY
① Tooltip: Bar width, number of candles, theme (Colored / B&W), marker style, OHLC/volume/summary toggles.
② X-Ray: Enable candle coloring, bull/bear/neutral colors.
③ Mini-Chart: Enable, offset, candle width, colors.
④ Footprint Dashboard: Enable, ticks per row, Value Area %, imbalance threshold, max rows, colors, totals, imbalance markers.
⑤ Data: Lower timeframe selection (Auto or manual), LTF calculation bars.
⑥ Effort vs Result: Enable, volume/body MA lengths, classification colors.
⑦ Trap Detector: Enable, trap type colors.
⑧ Tutor Mode: Enable, panel colors.
🔹 LOWER TIMEFRAME AUTO-DETECTION
When set to "Auto", X-Ray selects an appropriate sub-timeframe based on your chart:
Daily chart → 1h sub-candles
4h chart → 30m sub-candles
1h chart → 15m sub-candles
30m chart → 5m sub-candles
15m chart → 3m sub-candles
5m and below → 1m sub-candles
You can override this with a fixed timeframe in the Data settings.
🔹 GOOD PRACTICES
Use the tooltip and mini-chart to understand what happened inside a bar before making decisions based on its outer shape.
Effort vs Result works best when combined with context — a "High Effort / Low Result" bar at a key support level tells a very different story than one in the middle of a range.
Trap signals are most useful near structure (S/R, swing highs/lows, session opens). A trap in the middle of nowhere carries less weight.
Tutor Mode is great for learning but adds visual clutter — consider disabling it once you're comfortable reading the other modules independently.
The footprint dashboard shows the last bar only . Scroll through bars to compare footprints over time.
🔹 LIMITATIONS / DISCLAIMER
Requires PulseWire Premium, Expert, or Ultimate plan for full functionality ( request.footprint() and request.security_lower_tf() ).
Footprint data availability depends on the exchange and instrument — not all symbols provide tick-level volume.
Sub-candle data is limited by the calc_bars_count parameter (default 300). Very high values may slow chart loading.
The Trap Detector and Effort vs Result modules use heuristic thresholds — they are probability tools, not certainties.
Trading involves substantial risk. This tool is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and risk management.

[uPaSKaL] Momentum Structure CandlesMomentum Structure Candles
Momentum Structure Candles is an intrabar-based framework built to show how momentum develops inside each higher timeframe bar.
Instead of reducing momentum to a single line or value, the script reconstructs the internal structure of the bar using lower timeframe data and displays it as a momentum candle. The result is a structural view of direction, stability, expansion, and internal pressure.
🔹 What It Shows
Traditional momentum tools focus on outcome.
Momentum Structure Candles focuses on formation.
Two bars can close in the same direction while having completely different internal behavior:
one builds smoothly
one expands early and fades
one confirms late
one remains internally mixed
This script helps reveal:
whether momentum is building cleanly or fragmenting
whether pressure is stable or unstable
whether late-bar activity confirms or weakens the move
whether the bar is structurally directional or internally rotational
🔹 Intrabar Momentum Reconstruction
The script requests lower timeframe OHLC data and converts it into momentum-relative values using a configurable lookback.
Those intrabars are then aggregated into a synthetic momentum candle that represents the internal structure of the active bar.
This allows you to read:
momentum range
internal pullbacks
final position within the structure
balance versus expansion
🔹 Last-Bar Magnifier
The magnifier expands the current bar into its lower timeframe momentum structure, making it easier to read how the candle is forming in real time.
Useful for:
tracking acceleration or slowdown during bar development
spotting late confirmation versus late failure
avoiding over-reliance on the final candle close
🔹 Volume-Weighted Momentum
Momentum can optionally be weighted by volume to distinguish between:
low-participation movement
stronger momentum backed by active participation
similar structures with different internal conviction
🔹 Anchored Mode
The script can also run in anchored cumulative mode.
In this mode, momentum is accumulated and reset on a selected anchor period, creating a session-style structural model similar to a cumulative flow framework.
This is useful for:
tracking persistent directional pressure
identifying compounding momentum
spotting early loss of structure after expansion
🔹 Heatmap Context
An optional heatmap normalizes current momentum strength relative to recent conditions, helping highlight:
strong expansion versus ordinary movement
active versus passive conditions
high-energy momentum regimes
🔹 Phase Analysis
The current bar can be split into:
Early
Mid
Late
This helps answer a key question:
When was momentum strongest inside the bar?
It can reveal:
early push followed by failure
late expansion after consolidation
internal transitions hidden by the final close
🔹 Additional Notes
Built from lower timeframe structure, not standard price candles
Includes optional Light and Dark visual themes
Best used for structural reading, timing, and execution context
🔹 Practical Use Cases
confirm whether a move is structurally strong or only visually strong
detect weakening momentum before price structure shifts
evaluate continuation versus exhaustion
analyze pullbacks as corrective or structural
monitor the live development of the active bar
combine with liquidity, structure, or SMC-based execution models
🔹 Final Note
Momentum Structure Candles is not built to replace price.
It is built to expose the internal momentum architecture that standard candles hide.
By reconstructing intrabar structure, optionally weighting by volume, supporting anchored cumulative behavior, and providing a real-time magnifier, the script turns momentum into a readable structural process rather than a compressed output.
Indicator
Orderflow GapThis is the **Orderflow Gap (OG)** analyzer.
It goes beyond standard price gap detection by integrating
**Market Structure (Dow/SMC)** and **Intra-Bar Orderflow**
to classify the quality and intent behind price discontinuities.
Key Features:
1. **Advanced Gap Detection & Lifecycle:**
- **Flexible Definition:** Users can define gaps based on
market psychology:
- **Body (Open-Close):** Focuses on the "True Gap" between
sessions or candles, ignoring wicks.
- **Full (High-Low):** Focuses on total price dislocation
where no trading occurred at all.
- **Lifecycle Tracking:** The indicator persistently tracks
open gaps and visually marks them as **Filled** once price
mitigates the area by a user-defined percentage.
2. **Intra-Bar Orderflow Profiling (Pre & Post Analysis):**
- **Context:** Standard tools treat a gap merely as empty price space.
This indicator analyzes the **Micro-Auction** immediately surrounding
the event to understand the mechanics of the move.
- **Reconstruction:** Using high-resolution lower timeframe data, it
builds detailed Volume Profiles for the **Pre-Gap Candle** (The Origin)
and the **Post-Gap Candle** (The Reaction).
- **Flow Validation:** This allows the user to verify **Orderflow Continuity**:
Does the aggressive buying/selling that caused the gap continue
immediately after, or is the move fading into absorption?
3. **Statistical Volume Profile Engine:** For each bar in the anchored
period, the indicator builds a complete volume profile on a lower
'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it uses
**statistical models ('PDF' allocation)** to distribute volume
across price levels and **advanced classifiers ('Dynamic' split)**
to determine the buy/sell pressure within that profile.
4. **Structural & Volumetric Context:**
- **Vacuum (Density):** Calculates the "Volume Density" per
tick. A low density indicates a **Liquidity Vacuum** (price
slipped due to lack of orders), while high density indicates
aggressive fighting.
- **Commitment:** Compares the volume surrounding the gap
to the historical average to determine if big players
are backing the move.
- **Trend Alignment:** Filters signals based on the underlying
trend using either **Dow Theory** or **Smart Money Concepts**.
5. **Gap Classification Engine:**
The indicator automatically classifies gaps into four
structural types based on the metrics above:
- **Breakaway:** A high-conviction move that breaks structure,
showing **Initiative** (breaking previous Value Area) and
**Commitment** (High Volume).
- **Runaway:** A continuation gap within an established trend,
aligned with the Orderflow Delta.
- **Exhaustion:** A gap that occurs late in a trend, often
characterized by a **Liquidity Vacuum** (low density) despite
high volume, signaling potential reversal.
- **Common:** Standard volatility gaps lacking significant structural
or volumetric backing.
**Volume Fallback:** If no volume data is provided by the
exchange (e.g., certain CFDs or Indices), the classification
logic automatically defaults to **Common** to ensure strict
signal integrity without Orderflow verification.
6. **Visual Orderflow Insight:**
- **Profile Visualization:** Plots the reconstructed volume
profile as a polyline directly adjacent to the gap, allowing
you to see the "Injection" of volume that caused the move.
- **Color Coding:** Gaps are color-coded based on their
classification (Breakaway/Runaway/Exhaustion) and direction
(Bullish/Bearish).
7. **Multi-Metric Profiling (Volume, Time, Velocity):** Unlike standard
tools, this indicator allows you to switch between three critical
dimensions of market activity:
- **VOLUME (The "Where"):** Shows standard acceptance levels.
- **TIME (The "How Long"):** Measures duration at price (similar to TPO),
indicating fair value (High Time) or rejection (Low Time).
- **VELOCITY (The "How Fast"):** Measures the speed of trading (Contracts
per Second) to reveal intent. **High Velocity** suggests aggression
(initiative buying/selling), while **Low Velocity** despite volume
indicates absorption (passive limit orders).
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes granular alerts for:
- Detection of specific gap types (e.g., "Bullish Breakaway Gap").
- General gap formation.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This includes
the values used for real-time alerts in 'Structure' and
'Delta' modes.

Volume Weighted Intra Bar LR KurtosisThis indicator analyzes market character by decomposing total
Excess Kurtosis ("Fat Tails") of a SINGLE BAR into four distinct,
interpretable components based on a Linear Regression model.
Key Features:
1. **Intra-Bar LR Kurtosis Decomposition:** For each bar on the chart,
the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller
timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe'). It fits a Linear Regression
line through the intra-bar data to decompose the 4th Moment:
- **Trend Kurtosis (Gold):** Peakedness of the regression line
itself. High values indicate the price path within the bar
moves in sudden jumps, steps, or gaps (discontinuous path).
- **Residual Kurtosis (Red):** Excess Kurtosis of the noise
around the regression line. Captures "Hidden Tail Risk" or
extreme outliers within the bar relative to the trend.
- **Within-Bar Kurtosis (Blue):** Fat tails derived from the
microstructure of individual intra-bar candles.
- **Interaction Variance (Dark Grey):** The comovement of variance
and mean deviations (volatility clustering relative to trend).
- **Interaction Skewness (Darker Grey):** The comovement of skewness
and mean deviations (asymmetry relative to trend).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Excess Kurtosis is the
primary metric displayed. Since statistical moments are additive,
this indicator calculates the *exact* Total Kurtosis and partitions
the columns based on the Law of Total Moments.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* kurtosis as a
stacked column chart. Stacking logic groups components to
ensure visual clarity of the magnitude.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the direct *contribution ratio*
(proportion) of each component relative to the total sum,
ideal for identifying the dominant driver (Trend vs. Noise).
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
transforms inputs into logarithmic space, analyzing the
kurtosis of *returns* rather than absolute prices.
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and moment calculations,
emphasizing high-participation moves.
5. **Kurtosis Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *total* kurtosis line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Analysis Lines:** The entire intra-bar analysis can be
run on a higher timeframe (using the `Timeframe` input),
with standard options to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and
prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Kurtosis magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Character changes (Trend Jumps vs. Noise Outliers).
- Total Kurtosis pivot (High/Low) detection.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is
normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only
be considered final **after the main chart bar has closed.**

Volume Weighted Intra Bar KurtosisThis indicator analyzes market sentiment by providing a detailed
view of Excess Kurtosis ("Fat Tails"). It uses data from a lower,
intra-bar timeframe to separate the total kurtosis of a single bar
into distinct, interpretable components.
Key Features:
1. **Intra-Bar Kurtosis Decomposition:** For each bar on the chart,
the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller
timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe'). Unlike Variance, the Fourth
Central Moment (Kurtosis) decomposes into three parts:
- **Between-Bar Kurtosis (Gold):** Peakedness of the price
path *between* the intra-bar candles. High values indicate
that the macro movement happened in jumps or gaps rather
than a smooth progression.
- **Within-Bar Kurtosis (Blue):** Fat tails derived from the
microstructure (extreme wicks) *inside* the intra-bar candles.
- **Interaction Variance (Dark Grey):** The comovement of variance
and mean deviations (volatility clustering relative to trend).
- **Interaction Skewness (Darker Grey):** The comovement of skewness
and mean deviations (asymmetry relative to trend).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Excess Kurtosis is the
primary metric displayed. Since Kurtosis coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Kurtosis and partitions the columns based on the additive
Fourth Moment Decomposition (`M4Tot = M4Btw + M4Wtn + M4Int`).
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this information:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* kurtosis as a
stacked column chart, showing the *absolute magnitude* of
tail risk and the contribution of each component.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the components as a 100% stacked
column chart (scaled from 0 to 1), focusing purely on the
*energy ratio* of the components.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
making the analysis suitable for comparing assets with
different scales (e.g., BTC vs EURUSD).
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all mean and moment calculations.
5. **Kurtosis Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *total* kurtosis line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Analysis Lines:** The entire intra-bar analysis can be
run on a higher timeframe (using the `Timeframe` input),
with standard options to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and
prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes alerts for:
- Kurtosis magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Kurtosis character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Kurtosis pivot (High/Low) detection.

Volume Weighted Intra Bar LR SkewnessThis indicator analyzes market character by decomposing total
skewness (asymmetry) of a SINGLE BAR into four distinct,
interpretable components based on a Linear Regression model.
Key Features:
1. **Intra-Bar LR Skewness Decomposition:** For each bar on the chart,
the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller
timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe'). It fits a Linear Regression
line through the intra-bar data to decompose the 3rd Moment:
- **Trend Skewness (Green/Red):** Asymmetry originating from
the slope of the intra-bar regression line. Indicates if the
price path within the bar is geometrically trend-driven.
- **Residual Skewness (Yellow):** Asymmetry of the noise
around the regression line. Captures "Tail Risk" or sudden
shocks within the bar that deviate from the main path.
- **Within-Bar Skewness (Blue):** Asymmetry derived from the
microstructure of individual intra-bar candles.
- **Interaction Skewness (Dark Grey):** Asymmetry caused by
the correlation between price levels and volatility within
the bar (e.g., volatility expanding as price drops).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Skewness is the
primary metric displayed. Since statistical moments are additive,
this indicator calculates the *exact* Total Skewness and partitions
the columns based on the Law of Total Moments.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* skewness as a
stacked column chart. Stacking logic groups components with
the same sign to ensure visual clarity.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the direct *contribution ratio*
(proportion) of each component relative to the total sum,
ideal for identifying the dominant driver (Trend vs. Noise).
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
transforms inputs into logarithmic space, analyzing the
skewness of *returns* rather than absolute prices.
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and moment calculations,
emphasizing high-participation moves.
5. **Skewness Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (peaks/valleys) in
the *total* skewness line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.

run on a higher timeframe (using the `Timeframe` input),
with standard options to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and
prevent repainting (`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Skewness magnitude (High Positive / High Negative).
- Character changes (Trend vs. Noise dominance).
- Total Skewness pivot (High/Low) detection.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will

Central Moment (Skewness) decomposes into three parts:
- **Between-Bar Skewness (Gold):** Asymmetry of the price
path *between* the intra-bar candles. Indicates if the macro
movements within the bar accelerated in one direction.
- **Within-Bar Skewness (Blue):** Asymmetry of the
microstructure (wicks vs. tails) *inside* the intra-bar candles.
- **Interaction Skewness (Grey):** The component arising from
the comovement of local means and local variances (e.g.,
does volatility increase when price drops?).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Skewness is the
primary metric displayed. Since Skewness coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator calculates the *exact* Total
Skewness and partitions the columns based on the additive
Third Moment Decomposition (`M3Tot = M3Btw + M3Wtn + M3Int`).
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to

Volume Weighted Intra Bar LR CorrelationThis indicator analyzes market character by providing a detailed
view of correlation. It applies a Linear Regression model to
intra-bar price action, dissecting the total correlation of
each bar into three distinct components.
Key Features:
1. **Three-Component Correlation Decomposition:** The indicator
separates correlation based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.
- **Standard Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = OFF):** Calculates
correlation based on the selected `Source` (this results
mainly in 'Trend' and 'Residual' correlation).
- **Decomposition Mode (`Estimate Bar Statistics` = ON):** The
indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to
calculate *within-bar* correlation.
(Assumption: In this mode, the `Source` input is
**ignored**, and an estimated mean for each bar is used
instead).
This separates correlation into:
- **Trend Correlation (Green/Red):** Correlation explained by the
regression's slope (Directional Alignment).
- **Residual Correlation (Yellow):** Correlation from price
oscillating around the regression line (Mean-Reversion/Cointegration).
- **Within-Bar Correlation (Blue):** Correlation from the
high-low range of each bar (Microstructure/Noise).
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Correlation is the
primary metric displayed. Since Correlation Coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator plots the *exact* Total
Correlation and partitions the area underneath based on the
Covariance Ratio. This ensures the displayed total correlation
remains mathematically accurate while showing relative composition.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this decomposition:
- **Absolute Mode:** Displays the *total* correlation as a
stacked area chart, partitioned by the ratio of
the three components.
- **Relative Mode:** Displays the direct *energy ratio*
(proportion) of each component relative to the total (0-1),
ideal for identifying the dominant market character.
4. **Calculation Options:**
- **Normalization:** An optional 'Normalize' setting
calculates an **Exponential Regression Curve** (log-space),
making the analysis suitable for growth assets.
- **Volume Weighting:** An option (`Volume weighted`) applies
volume weighting to all regression and correlation calculations.
5. **Correlation Cycle Analysis:**
- **Pivot Detection:** Includes a built-in pivot detector
that identifies significant turning points (highs and lows) in
the *total* correlation line. (Note: This is only visible
in 'Absolute Mode').
- **Flexible Pivot Algorithms:** Supports various underlying
mathematical models for pivot detection provided by the
core library.
6. **Note on Confirmation (Lag):** Pivot signals are confirmed
using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted *after*
the `Pivot Right Bars` input has passed, which introduces
an inherent lag.
7. **Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:**
- **MTF Correlation Lines:** The correlation lines can be
calculated on a higher timeframe, with standard options
to handle gaps (`Fill Gaps`) and prevent repainting
(`Wait for...`).
- **Limitation:** The Pivot detection (`Calculate Pivots`) is
**disabled** if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
8. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes comprehensive alerts for:
- Correlation magnitude (High Positive / High Inverse).
- Correlation character changes/emerging/fading.
- Total Correlation pivot (High/Low) detection.
**Caution! Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is

Volume Weighted Intra Bar CorrelationThis indicator analyzes market character by providing a detailed
view of correlation. It uses data from a lower, intra-bar timeframe
to separate the total correlation of a single bar into two distinct
components.
Key Features:
1. **Intra-Bar Correlation Decomposition:** For each bar on the chart,
the indicator analyzes the underlying price action on a smaller
timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe') and quantifies two types of correlation:
- **Between-Bar Correlation (Directional):** Calculated from price
movements *between* the intra-bar candles. This component
represents the **macro-movement** correlation within the main bar.
- **Within-Bar Correlation (Non-Directional):** Calculated from
price fluctuations *inside* each intra-bar candle. This
component represents the **microstructure/noise** correlation.
2. **Visual Decomposition Logic:** Total Correlation is the
primary metric displayed. Since Correlation Coefficients are not
linearly additive, this indicator plots the *exact* Total
Correlation and partitions the area underneath based on the
Covariance Ratio. This ensures the displayed total correlation
remains mathematically accurate while showing relative composition.
3. **Dual Display Modes:** The indicator offers two modes to
visualize this information:
- **Absolute Mode:** Plots the *total* correlation as a
stacked column chart, showing the *absolute magnitude* of
correlation and the contribution of each component.
- **Relative Mode:** Plots the components as a 100% stacked
column chart (scaled from 0 to 1), focusing purely on the
*energy ratio* of 'between-bar' (macro) and 'within-bar' (micro)
correlation.
4. **Calculation Options:**

High Volume Footprint BreakoutThe High Volume Footprint Breakout indicator brings institutional-grade Order Flow analysis to your standard PulseWire charts. By looking inside the candles using intrabar data, this tool identifies specific price levels where massive, aggressive buying or selling volume has occurred.
Unlike standard Volume Profiles which show volume over a long period, this indicator isolates specific moments of high-intensity participation. It draws extended support and resistance lines from these "High Volume Nodes," helping you identify where institutions have stepped in and where trapped traders might exist.
Why Use This Indicator?
Standard candlestick charts show you where price went, but they hide how it got there. A candle might look normal, but inside that candle, there could be a massive battle between buyers and sellers at a specific price level.
Reveal Hidden Liquidity : Find the exact price levels that defended a move.
Filter the Noise : Instead of showing every volume node, this script only highlights Breakout Levels —areas where the single-price volume exceeded a historical maximum (e.g., the highest volume node in the last 20 bars).
No External Tools Needed : Replicates the logic of professional Footprint/Order Flow software using native PulseWire data.
How It Works (The Logic)
This script uses a strict algorithm to reconstruct a virtual "Footprint" of the market:
Intrabar Analysis : It accesses lower timeframe data (e.g., 1-minute data inside a Daily bar) to analyze price action at a granular level.
Volume Categorization : It separates volume into Buy Volume (Aggressive Buyers) and Sell Volume (Aggressive Sellers) based on price movement logic.
Volume Distribution : To ensure accuracy, it distributes the volume of intrabar candles across their High-Low range, preventing artificial volume spikes on single ticks.
Breakout Detection : It compares the highest volume node of the current bar against the highest nodes of the previous X bars. If the current volume is a new local record, a line is drawn.
How to Trade This Indicator
1. The Standard Rejection (Trend Continuation)
Green Lines (Aggressive Buyers) : These levels represent areas where buyers stepped in with massive force. In an uptrend, expect price to bounce off these lines. Treat them as Support.
Red Lines (Aggressive Sellers) : These levels represent areas where sellers unloaded heavy positions. In a downtrend, expect price to reject these lines. Treat them as Resistance.
2. The "Flip" Setup (Trapped Traders)
This is an advanced Order Flow concept. When the market disrespects a high-volume level, it creates "Trapped Traders."
Red Line Acting as Support : If price breaks above a Red (Sell) line and holds, the aggressive sellers at that level are now trapped underwater. When price returns to this line, these sellers often buy to close their positions at breakeven, fueling a bounce.
Green Line Acting as Resistance : If price breaks below a Green (Buy) line, the aggressive buyers are trapped. When price rallies back to this line, they often sell to exit, creating resistance.
Settings & Configuration
Auto-Select Intrabar Timeframe :
Enabled (Recommended) : Automatically selects the best resolution (1-min for Intraday/Daily, 60-min for Weekly/Monthly) to match the "Volume Data Source" standards.
Disabled : Allows you to manually force a specific intrabar resolution.
Breakout Lookback Period : Determines how significant a volume spike must be to trigger a line. (Default: 20). Higher values = fewer, stronger lines.
Max Visible Lines : Limits the number of lines on the chart to keep your workspace clean.
Label Offset : Adjusts how far to the right the text labels appear, allowing you to position them perfectly for your screen setup.
Who Should Use This?
Order Flow Traders : Who want footprint-style logic without complex grid charts.
Price Action Traders : Who want objective, data-driven Support & Resistance levels rather than subjective drawings.
Scalpers & Day Traders : Who need to see where the "heavy hands" are transacting in real-time.
Disclaimer & Limitations
Intrabar vs. Tick Data : This script uses PulseWire's intrabar data to approximate the footprint. While highly accurate, it may differ slightly from tick-perfect software.
Volume Data Required : This indicator requires the asset to provide real volume data. It works best on Futures, Crypto, and Stocks. It may not work on FOREX pairs that do not provide tick volume.
Does it Repaint?
Short Answer:
No , it does not repaint on closed bars. Once a candle closes and a line is drawn, that line is permanent and will not move or disappear.
Long Answer (The Nuances):
There are two specific scenarios you need to be aware of regarding how PulseWire handles data:
1. The "Forming Bar" (Wait for Close)
Behavior : While the current candle is still moving (open), the indicator is calculating the volume in real-time. If a massive volume spike happens right now, a line might appear. If the volume of previous bars suddenly looks smaller by comparison, the condition might change.
Solution : Like almost all indicators, you must wait for the bar to close to confirm the signal. Once the bar closes, the calculation is locked and the line is fixed forever.
2. Historical Data Limits (The "Disappearing History" Issue)
Behavior : This script relies on request.security_lower_tf (e.g., fetching 1-minute data inside a Daily bar). PulseWire does not store infinite 1-minute data for every asset. They usually store a few thousand bars of lower timeframe history (more if you have a Premium account).
The Issue : If you scroll back 5 years on a Daily chart, the script will try to fetch the 1-minute data for a day in 2019. If PulseWire has deleted that old 1-minute data to save space, the script will receive "empty" data.
Result : You might see lines on the recent chart (last few months/year), but if you scroll back too far, the lines will stop appearing because the underlying data doesn't exist anymore.
Is this Repainting? Technically, no. It's a Data Availability limitation. But it means that what you see on a chart from 5 years ago might look different than what you saw when you were trading it live 5 years ago.

Market Structure Volume Time Velocity ProfileThis is the Market Structure Volume Time Velocity Profile (MSVTVP). It combines event-based profiling with advanced metrics like Time and Velocity (Flow Rate). Instead of fixed time periods, profiles are anchored to critical market events (Swings, Structure Breaks, Delta Breaks), giving you a precise view of value development during specific market phases.
## The 3 Dimensions of the Market
Unlike standard tools that only show Volume, MSVTVP allows you
to switch between three critical metrics:
1. **VOLUME Profile (The "Where"):**
* Shows standard acceptance. High volume nodes (HVN)
are magnets for price.
2. **TIME Profile (The "How Long"):**
* Similar to TPO, it measures how long price spent at each
level.
* **High Time:** True acceptance and fair value.
* **Low Time:** Rejection or rapid movement.
3. **VELOCITY Profile (The "How Fast"):**
* Measures the **speed of trading** (Contracts per Second).
This reveals the hidden intent of market participants.
* **High Velocity (Fast Flow):** Aggression. Initiative
buyers/sellers are hitting market orders rapidly. Often
seen at breakouts or in liquidity vacu.
* **Low Velocity (Slow Flow):** Absorption. Massive passive
limit orders are slowing price down despite high volume.
Often seen at major reversals ("hitting a brick wall").
Key Features:
1. **Event-Based Profile Anchoring:** The indicator starts a new
profile based on one of three user-selected events
('Profile Anchor'):
- **Swing:** A new profile begins when the 'impulse baseline'
(derived from intra-bar delta) changes. This baseline
adjusts when a new **price pivot** is confirmed: When a
price **high** forms, the baseline moves to the **lower**
of its previous level or the peak delta (max of
delta O/C) at the pivot. When a price **low** forms, it
moves to the **higher** of its previous level or the
trough delta (min of delta O/C) at the pivot.
- **Structure:** A new profile begins immediately on the bar
that *confirms* a market structure break (e.g., a new HH
or LL, based on a sequence of price pivots).
- **Delta:** A new profile begins immediately on the bar
that *confirms* a break in the *cumulative delta's*
market structure (e.g., a new HH or LL in the delta).
Both 'Swing' and 'Delta' anchors are derived from the same
**continuous (non-resetting) Cumulative Volume Profile Delta (CVPD)**,
which is built from the intra-bar statistical analysis.
2. **Statistical Profile Engine:** For each bar in the anchored
period, the indicator builds a volume profile on a lower
'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it
uses advanced statistical models:
- **Allocation ('Allot model'):** 'PDF' (Probability Density
Function) distributes volume proportionally across the
bar's range based on an assumed statistical model
(e.g., T4-Skew). 'Classic' assigns all volume to
the close.
- **Buy/Sell Split ('Volume Estimator'):** 'Dynamic'
applies a model that analyzes candle wicks and
recent trend to estimate buy/sell pressure. 'Classic'
classifies all volume based on the candle color.
3. **Visualization & Lag:** The indicator plots the final
profile (as a polygon) and the developing statistical
lines (POC, VA, VWAP, StdDev).
- **Note on Lag:** All anchor events require `Pivot Right Bars`
for confirmation.
- In 'Structure' and 'Delta' mode, the developing lines
(POC, VA, etc.) are plotted using a **non-repainting**
method (showing the value from `pivRi` bars ago).
- In 'Swing' mode, the profile is plotted **retroactively**,
starting *from the bar where the pivot occurred*. The
developing lines are also plotted with this full
`pivRi` lag to align with the past data.
4. **Flexible Display Modes:** The finalized profile can be displayed
in three ways: 'Up/Down' (buy vs. sell), 'Total' (combined
volume), and 'Delta' (net difference).
5. **Dynamic Row Sizing:** Includes an option ('Rows per Percent')
to automatically adjust the number of profile rows (buckets)
based on the profile's price range.
6. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes 13 alerts that trigger for:
- A new profile reset ('Profile was resetted').
- Price crossing any of the 6 developing levels (POC,
VA High/Low, VWAP, StdDev High/Low).
- **Alert Lag Assumption:** In 'Swing' mode, alerts are
delayed to match the retroactively plotted lines.
In 'Structure' and 'Delta' modes, alerts fire in
**real-time** based on the *current price* crossing
the *current (repainting)* value of the metric, which
may **differ from the non-repainting plotted line.**
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This includes
the values used for real-time alerts in 'Structure' and
'Delta' modes.

Periodic Volume Time Velocity ProfileThis is the Periodic Volume Time Velocity Profile (PVTVP). It is an advanced professional profiling tool that goes beyond standard volume analysis by introducing Time and Velocity (Flow Rate) as profile dimensions.
By analyzing high-resolution intra-bar data, it builds
precise profiles for any custom period (Session, Day, Week, etc.),
helping you understand not just *where* the market traded,
but *how* it traded there.
## The 3 Dimensions of the Market
Unlike standard tools that only show Volume, PVTVP allows you
to switch between three critical metrics:
1. **VOLUME Profile (The "Where"):**
* Shows standard acceptance. High volume nodes (HVN)
are magnets for price.
2. **TIME Profile (The "How Long"):**
* Similar to TPO, it measures how long price spent at each
level.
* **High Time:** True acceptance and fair value.
* **Low Time:** Rejection or rapid movement.
3. **VELOCITY Profile (The "How Fast"):**
* Measures the **speed of trading** (Contracts per Second).
This reveals the hidden intent of market participants.
* **High Velocity (Fast Flow):** Aggression. Initiative
buyers/sellers are hitting market orders rapidly. Often
seen at breakouts or in liquidity vacuums.
* **Low Velocity (Slow Flow):** Absorption. Massive passive
limit orders are slowing price down despite high volume.
Often seen at major reversals ("hitting a brick wall").
## Key Features
1. **Statistical Volume Profile Engine:** For each bar in the selected
period, the indicator builds a complete volume profile on a lower
'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it uses
**statistical models ('PDF' allocation)** to distribute volume
across price levels and **advanced classifiers ('Dynamic' split)**
to determine the buy/sell pressure within that profile.
2. **Flexible Profile Display:** The **finalized profile** (plotted at
the end of each period) can be visualized in three distinct
ways: 'Up/Down' (buy vs. sell), 'Total' (combined volume),
and 'Delta' (net difference).
3. **Developing Key Levels:** The indicator also plots the developing
Point of Control (POC), Value Area (VA), VWAP, and Standard
Deviation bands in real-time as the period unfolds, providing
live insights into the emerging market structure.
4. **Dynamic Row Sizing:** Includes an option ('Rows per Percent')
to automatically adjust the number of profile rows (buckets)
based on the profile's price range, maintaining a consistent
visual density.
5. **Integrated Alerts:** Includes 12 alerts that trigger when the
main price crosses over or under the key developing levels:
POC, VWAP, Value Area High/Low, and the +/- Standard
Deviation bands.
**Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting)**
This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the
values on the **current, unclosed bar** (the real-time bar) will
update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is
normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only
be considered final **after the main chart bar has closed.**

Intra Bar Volume ProfileThis indicator provides a high-resolution volume profile analysis for every single bar on the chart. It builds this profile by sampling data from a lower intra-bar timeframe, allowing for a granular view of price distribution and buying/selling pressure within the bar.
Key Features:
Intra-Bar Profile Engine: For each bar on the main chart, the indicator builds a complete volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. It uses:
Statistical Models ('Allot model'): Distributes volume across price levels using 'PDF' (Probability Density Function) or 'Classic' (close) methods.
Buy/Sell Classifiers ('Volume Estimator'): Splits volume using a 'Dynamic' (trend/wick-based) or 'Classic' (candle color) model.
On-Chart Visualization (Overlay): The analysis is rendered directly onto the price bars:
Point of Control (POC): A line showing the price level with the most volume for that bar.
Value Area (VA): A colored box representing the price range where the specified percentage (e..g., 50%) of volume was traded.
VWAP: Displays the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) for the bar as a separate line.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 8 alerts that trigger when the main price crosses over or under the key intra-bar levels: POC, VWAP, and the Value Area High/Low.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.

Market Structure Volume ProfileThis indicator visualizes volume profiles that are dynamically anchored to market structure events, rather than fixed time intervals. It builds these profiles using high-resolution intra-bar data to provide a precise view of where value is established during critical market phases.
Key Features:
Event-Based Profile Anchoring: The indicator starts a new profile based on one of three user-selected events ('Profile Anchor'):
Swing: A new profile begins when the 'impulse baseline' (derived from intra-bar delta) changes. This baseline adjusts when a new price pivot is confirmed: When a price high forms, the baseline moves to the lower of its previous level or the peak delta (max of delta O/C) at the pivot. When a price low forms, it moves to the higher of its previous level or the trough delta (min of delta O/C) at the pivot.
Structure: A new profile begins immediately on the bar that confirms a market structure break (e.g., a new HH or LL, based on a sequence of price pivots).
Delta: A new profile begins immediately on the bar that confirms a break in the cumulative delta's market structure (e.g., a new HH or LL in the delta). Both 'Swing' and 'Delta' anchors are derived from the same continuous (non-resetting) Cumulative Volume Profile Delta (CVPD), which is built from the intra-bar statistical analysis.
Statistical Profile Engine: For each bar in the anchored period, the indicator builds a volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it uses advanced statistical models:

Integrated Alerts: Includes 13 alerts that trigger for:
A new profile reset ('Profile was resetted').
Price crossing any of the 6 developing levels (POC, VA High/Low, VWAP, StdDev High/Low).
Alert Lag Assumption: In 'Swing' mode, alerts are delayed to match the retroactively plotted lines. In 'Structure' and 'Delta' modes, alerts fire in real-time based on the current price crossing the current (repainting) value of the metric, which may differ from the non-repainting plotted line.

Pivot Orderflow DeltaThis indicator analyzes order flow by calculating a continuous Cumulative Volume Profile Delta (CVPD). It plots this delta as a series of "delta candles" and identifies divergences and structural pivot levels.
Key Features:
Statistical Delta Engine: For each bar, the indicator builds a high-resolution volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. It uses statistical models ('PDF' allocation) and advanced classifiers ('Dynamic' split) to determine the buy/sell pressure, which is then accumulated.
Cumulative Delta Candle Visualization: The indicator plots the continuous, accumulated delta as a series of candles, where for each bar:
Open: Is the cumulative delta value of the previous bar.
Close: Is the new total cumulative delta.
High/Low: Represent the peak/trough cumulative delta reached during that bar's formation.
Dynamic Pivot Baseline: The indicator plots a separate dynamic baseline ('Impulse Start') that adjusts when a new price pivot is confirmed.
When a price high forms, the baseline moves to the lower of its previous level or the peak delta (max of delta candle O/C) at the pivot.
When a price low forms, the baseline moves to the higher of its previous level or the trough delta (min of delta candle O/C) at the pivot.
Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C): A built-in divergence engine automatically detects and plots Regular (A), Hidden (B), and Exaggerated (C) divergences between price and the peak/trough of the delta candles (High/Low).
Detailed Pivot Confluence: The indicator plots distinct markers to differentiate between pivots occurring only on the price chart, only on the delta oscillator, or on both simultaneously.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence and pivot signals rely on a confirmation method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 23 comprehensive alerts for:
The start and end of all 6 divergence types.
The detection of a new Impulse Start pivot.
Delta/volume agreement/disagreement.
Delta crossing the zero line.
The formation of price-only or delta-only pivots.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis.

Cumulative Volume Profile DeltaThis indicator calculates the Cumulative Volume Profile Delta (CVPD). It constructs a high-resolution volume profile for each bar using intra-bar data, then derives and accumulates the delta from that profile to show net buying/selling pressure.
Key Features:
Statistical Volume Profile Engine: For each bar, the indicator builds a high-resolution volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it uses statistical models ('PDF' allocation) to distribute volume across price levels and advanced classifiers ('Dynamic' split) to determine the buy/sell pressure before accumulation.
Periodic Accumulation: The CVPD accumulation is anchored to a user-defined 'Anchor Timeframe' (e.g., daily, weekly). This cyclical reset allows to analyze the build-up of pressure within specific trading periods.
"Delta Candle" Visualization: The periodic CVPD is shown as a candle, where:
Open: The CVPD value at the start of the period (or zero).
High/Low: Represent the peak buying (CVD High) and selling (CVD Low) pressure within that period's profile.
Close: The final net delta value (CVD) for the period.
Dual CVD & Divergence Engine: The indicator calculates two CVPDs: a Periodic one (for plotting) and a Continuous one (non-resetting). The continuous line is used as a stable source for the built-in divergence engine (detecting Regular, Hidden, and Exaggerated).
Dynamic Divergence Plotting: Divergence markers are plotted relative to the periodic (candle) CVPD. They automatically adjust their vertical position after a reset to remain visually aligned with the plotted candles.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence signals rely on a pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
The Start of a- divergence is only detected after the confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on Pivot Right Bars).
The End of a divergence is detected either instantly (if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Output: The entire analysis (Delta Candles, Divergences) can be calculated on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Divergence detection engine (pivDiv) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 18 comprehensive alerts for:
The start and end of all 6 divergence types.
The periodic CVPD crossing the zero line.
Conditions of agreement or disagreement between the delta and the main bar's direction.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis.

Cumulative Volume DeltaThis Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator analyzes intra-bar volume dynamics. It introduces a periodic reset mechanism, anchoring the accumulation to a user-defined timeframe (e.g., daily, weekly) for cyclical analysis.
Key Features:
Dual CVD Calculation: The indicator computes two CVD values simultaneously:
Periodic CVD: Resets on the user-defined 'Anchor Timeframe'. This is plotted as "Delta Candles".
Continuous CVD: Accumulates volume continuously (non-resetting) and is used as the source for divergence detection.
Intra-Bar Delta Analysis: Uses a lower timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe') to calculate buy/sell pressure based on the direction of the intra-bar candles.
"Delta Candle" Visualization: The periodic CVD is shown as a candle, where:
Open: The CVD value at the start of the period (or zero).
High/Low: Represent the peak buying (CVD High) and selling (CVD Low) pressure within that period.
Close: The final net delta value for that period.
Full Divergence Suite (Class A, B, C): A built-in engine automatically detects and plots Regular (A), Hidden (B), and Exaggerated (C) divergences between price and the continuous CVD line.
Dynamic Divergence Plotting: Divergence markers are plotted relative to the periodic (candle) CVD. They automatically adjust their vertical position after a reset to remain visually aligned with the plotted candles.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Divergence signals rely on a pivot confirmation method to ensure they do not repaint.
The Start of a- divergence is only detected after the confirming pivot is fully formed (a delay based on Pivot Right Bars).
The End of a divergence is detected either instantly (if the signal is invalidated by price action) or with a delay (when a new, non-divergent pivot is confirmed).
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Output: The entire dual-CVD analysis can be run on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Divergence detection engine (pivDiv) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 18 comprehensive alerts for:
The start and end of all 6 divergence types.
The periodic CVD crossing the zero line.
Conditions of agreement or disagreement between the delta and the main bar's direction.

Volume Profile DeltaThis indicator calculates the Volume Profile Delta (VPD). It constructs a high-resolution volume profile for each bar using intra-bar data, offering a detailed understanding of buying and selling pressure at discrete price levels.
Key Features:
Statistical Volume Profile Engine: For each bar, the indicator builds a high-resolution volume profile on a lower 'Intra-Bar Timeframe'. Instead of simple tick counting, it uses statistical models ('PDF' allocation) to distribute volume across price levels and advanced classifiers ('Dynamic' split) to determine the buy/sell pressure within that profile, providing a more nuanced delta calculation.
"Delta Candle" Visualization: The per-bar VPD is displayed as a candle, where:
Open: Always anchored at the zero line.
High/Low: Represent the peak buying (CVD High) and selling (CVD Low) pressure accumulated within that bar's profile.
Close: The final net delta value (CVD) for the bar.
Customizable Moving Average: An optional moving average of the net delta (Close) can be added. The MA type, length, and an optional Volume weighted setting are customizable.
Intra-Bar Peak Pivot Detection: Automatically identifies and plots significant turning points (pivots) in the peak buying (High) and selling (Low) pressure.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Capability:
MTF Output: The entire analysis (Delta Candles, MA, Pivots) can be calculated on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 8 alerts for:
The net delta crossing its moving average.
The detection of new peak buying or selling pivots.
Conditions of agreement or disagreement between the net delta and the main bar's direction.
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis.

Volume DeltaThis indicator provides a detailed view of Volume Delta (VD) by analyzing order flow on a lower, intra-bar timeframe. For each bar on the chart, it calculates the net difference between buying and selling volume based on the direction of the intra-bar candles.
Key Features:
Intra-Bar Delta Calculation: The indicator analyzes price action on a user-defined lower timeframe ('Intra-Bar Timeframe') to construct a detailed picture of the underlying order flow for each bar on the main chart.
"Delta Candle" Visualization: The delta for each bar is shown as a candle, where:
Open: Always starts at the zero line.
High/Low: Represent the peak buying and selling pressure accumulated within the bar.
Close: The final net delta value for that bar. This visualization shows absorption, exhaustion, and conviction in a single glance.
Customizable Moving Average: An optional moving average of the net delta (Close) can be added. The MA type, length, and an optional Volume weighted setting are customizable.
Intra-Bar Peak Pivot Detection: Automatically identifies and plots significant turning points (pivots) in the peak buying (High) and selling (Low) pressure.
Note on Confirmation (Lag): Pivot signals are confirmed using a lookback method. A pivot is only plotted after the Pivot Right Bars input has passed, which introduces an inherent lag.

MTF Output: The entire analysis (Delta Candles, MA, Pivots) can be calculated on a higher timeframe (using the Timeframe input), with standard options to handle gaps (Fill Gaps) and prevent repainting (Wait for...).
Limitation: The Pivot detection (Calculate Pivots) is disabled if a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected.
Integrated Alerts: Includes 8 alerts for:
The net delta crossing its moving average.
The detection of new peak buying or selling pivots.
Conditions of agreement or disagreement between the net delta and the main bar's direction (absolute volume).
Caution: Real-Time Data Behavior (Intra-Bar Repainting) This indicator uses high-resolution intra-bar data. As a result, the values on the current, unclosed bar (the real-time bar) will update dynamically as new intra-bar data arrives. This behavior is normal and necessary for this type of analysis. Signals should only be considered final after the main chart bar has closed.
