RVol Over Time [vnhilton]I recommend to do the following to give you indicator values at a better glance & for a cleaner chart: 1) Turn off labels on price scale. 2) Turn down opacity for Rvol-O-T down to 0%. 3) Move the indicator to the chart pane or to the volume pane. 4) Pin the indicator to scale A (same scale as the price chart/pane). Now you can only see the RVol-O-T on the top left.
Relative Volume (RVol) is an indicator that compares current volume with Average Daily Volume (ADV) for a set period of time. This can be used to find tickers in play, as those trading with an RVol >1 means it's trading above average volume, which may be worthy of your attention.
This indicator calculates RVol as the day progresses, which may be useful if you have strategies with an intraday criterion e.g. the ticker needs to be trading at Rvol > 2, 30 minutes after the open for stocks (You can see RVol in % or float form).
The chart snapshot image above shows BTCUSDT. Reason for this ticker is because for cryptocurrencies & forex pairs, market data is complete so this indicator can work correctly. If you try this indicator on stocks, indices or futures, you may notice that there's a discrepancy between daily volume candles & the summation of intraday candles (they don't equate each other - huge difference between the 2), causing the indicator to not work as effectively. To solve this problem, you would have to get extra market data from PulseWire, or to integrate your broker with PulseWire to pass along your broker's data feed (provided your broker also has real-time data - if not you may need to get extra market data via the broker).

4C Volume w/ Relative Volume at TimeThis is a Volume indicator that also shows Relative Volume at Time (RVOL).
The RVOL is easily visible as a background color, that changes between Low and High RVOL colors.
The RVOL portion of the indicator is a modified version of the 'Relative Volume At Time' indicator by Tradingview (which has been the best/most accurate RVOL indicator i have seen yet on Tradingview, and seems to closely match the how the "Zanger Volume" indicator works).
Elevated RVOL can be a very important criteria for trading , especially on lower time frames.
This indicator can be used as a simple filter when looking at charts to determine whether it should be traded or not, based on the RVOL.
Higher volume/participation relative to previous time periods can lead to better follow through of moves and price action, and can lead to trending conditions.
Lower RVOL can lead to choppy market conditions, with lower participation and follow through on chart patterns.
The RVOL portion of the indicator draws from the Tradingview 'Relative Volume At Time' indicator developed by authors @e2e4mfck and @LucF , for PulseWire.
This indicator takes the Past Volume mark and changes it into a background color.
High RVOL = When the day's cumulative volume is greater than the Past Volume levels, then the background is painted Blue by default
Low RVOL = When the day's cumulative volume is lower than the Past Volume levels, then the background is painted Purple by default
See annotated examples in the chart Below, which compares/contrasts this new indicator with the RVOL indicator by Tradingview:
Portions of the 'Relative Volume At Time' indictor code have been removed to clean up the script.
Plans in the future are to remove more code were possible, to further refine the script and speed up the processing times for the indicator.
If anyone is able to strip out more and keep it functioning the same, please let me know.
Enjoy.

Relative Volume (rVol), Better Volume, Average Volume ComparisonThis is the best version of relative volume you can find a claim which is based on the logical soundness of its calculation.
I have amalgamated various volume analysis into one synergistic script. I wasn't going to opensource it. But, as one of the lucky few winners of TradingClue 2. I felt obligated to give something back to the community.
Relative volume traditionally compares current volume to prior bar volume or SMA of volume. This has drawbacks. The question of relative volume is "Volume relative to what?" In the traditional scripts you'll find it displays current volume relative to the last number of bars. But, is that the best way to compare volume. On a daily chart, possibly. On a daily chart this can work because your units of time are uniform. Each day represents a full cycle of volume. However, on an intraday chart? Not so much.
Example: If you have a lookback of 9 on an hourly chart in a 24 hour market, you are then comparing the average volume from Midnight - 9 AM to the 9 AM volume. What do you think you'll find? Well at 9:30 when NY exchanges open the volume should be consistently and predictably higher. But though rVol is high relative to the lookback period, its actually just average or maybe even below average compared to prior NY session opens. But prior NY session opens are not included in the lookback and thus ignored.
This problem is the most visibly noticed when looking at the volume on a CME futures chart or some equivalent. In a 24 hour market, such as crypto, there are website's like skew can show you the volume disparity from time of day. This led me to believe that the traditional rVol calculation was insufficient. A better way to calculate it would be to compare the 9:30 am 30m bar today to the last week's worth of 9:30 am 30m bars. Then I could know whether today's volume at 9:30 am today is high or low based on prior 9:30 am bars. This seems to be a superior method on an intraday basis and is clearly superior in markets with irregular volume
This led me to other problems, such as markets that are open for less than 24 hours and holiday hours on traditional market exchanges. How can I know that the script is accurately looking at the correct prior relevant bars. I've created and/or adapted solutions to all those problems and these calculations and code snippets thus have value that extend beyond this rVol script for other pinecoders.
The Script
This rVol script looks back at the bars of the same time period on the viewing timeframe. So, as we said, the last 9:30 bars. Averages those, then divides the: . The result is a percentage expressed as x.xxx. Thus 1.0 mean current volume is equal to average volume. Below 1.0 is below the average and above 1.0 is above the average.
This information can be viewed on its own. But there are more levels of analysis added to it.
Above the bars are signals that correlate to the "Better Volume Indicator" developed by, I believe, the folks at emini-watch and originally adapted to pinescript by LazyBear. The interpretation of these symbols are in a table on the right of the indicator.
The volume bars can also be colored. The color is defined by the relationship between the average of the rVol outputs and the current volume. The "Average rVol" so to speak. The color coding is also defined by a legend in the table on the right.
These can be researched by you to determine how to best interpret these signals. I originally got these ideas and solid details on how to use the analysis from a fellow out there, PlanTheTrade.
I hope you find some value in the code and in the information that the indicator presents. And I'd like to thank the PulseWire team for producing the most innovative and user friendly charting package on the market.
(p.s. Better Volume is provides better information with a longer lookback value than the default imo)
Credit for certain code sections and ideas is due to:
LazyBear - Better Volume
Grimmolf (From GitHub) - Logic for Loop rVol
R4Rocket - The idea for my rVol 1 calculation
And I can't find the guy who had the idea for the multiples of volume to the average. Tag him if you know him
Final Note: I'd like to leave a couple of clues of my own for fellow seekers of trading infamy.
Indicators: indicators are like anemometers (The things that measure windspeed). People talk bad about them all the time because they're "lagging." Well, you can't tell what the windspeed is unless the wind is blowing. anemometers are lagging indicators of wind. But forecasters still rely on them. You would use an indicator, which I would define as a instrument of measure, to tell you the windspeed of the markets. Conversely, when people talk positively about indicators they say "This one is great and this one is terrible." This is like a farmer saying "Shovels are great, but rakes are horrible." There are certain tools that have certain functions and every good tool has a purpose for a specific job. So the next time someone shares their opinion with you about indicators. Just smile and nod, realizing one day they'll learn... hopefully before they go broke.
How to forecast: Prediction is accomplished by analyzing the behavior of instruments of measure to aggregate data (using your anemometer). The data is then assembled into a predictive model based on the measurements observed (a trading system). That predictive model is tested against reality for it's veracity (backtesting). If the model is predictive, you can optimize your decision making by creating parameter sets around the prediction that are synergistic with the implications of the prediction (risk, stop loss, target, scaling, pyramiding etc).

SVA - Simple Volume Analyzer, by BlueJayBird [bjb] ENGLISH & SPANISH
------------------------------------- ENSLIGH
The idea was initially inspired in the concepts shared by @LazyBear on his indicator "Better Volume Indicator" (). But I found it somewhat complicated and dull. So I came up with this.
Concept:
It changes the color of volume bars based on surrounding volume changes.
Volume changes are plotted as volume MAs lines in the volume pane.
Whenever the volume is higher than these MAs, the bar changes color.
For this reason, the bar color change is RELATIVE TO the surroundings, because the color change depends on how far the MA has been extended due to sudden (or not) changes in the volume.
BAR COLORS:
Weak Green and Red: Low volume. The calm before or after the storm.
Normal Green and Red: Mid volume. Still low volume, you may get bored.
Yellow: High volume. Players are playing hard and harder.
White: Ultra-High Volume. The elephants stepped in.
NOTES:
SVA works better at lower timeframes. Though as far as I can tell, it works pretty well as far as 1D timeframe.
------------------------------------- SPANISH
La idea estuvo inicialmente inspirada en los conceptos expuestos por @LazyBear en su indicador "Better Volume Indicator" (). Pero lo encontré un poco complicado y falto de claridad. Así que me inventé este.
Conceptp:
Cambia el color de las barras basándose en los últimos cambios de volumen.
Los cambios de volumen son ploteados como lineas de medias móviles (MAs, es decir "Moving Averages") en la sección del volumen (chart pane).
En cualquier momento que el volumen es mayor que estos MAs, el color de las barras cambia.
Por esta razon, el cambio de color de las barras es RELATIVO a lo que está sucediendo alrededor, ya que el cambio de color depende de qué tan lejos el MA se haya extendido por causa de los últimos cambios (o no) de volumen.
BAR COLORS:
Verde y rojo apagados: Volumen bajo (Low Volume). La calma antes de la tormenta.
Verde y rojo normales: Volumen medio (Mid volume). Volumen todavía bajo. Es posible que te aburras.
Amarillo: Volumen alto (High Volume). Los jugadores están jugando duro.
Blanco: Volumen ultra-alto (Ultra-High Volume). Los elefantes entran a la cancha.
NOTAS:
SVA funciona mejor en temporalidades menores. Pero por lo que he visto, funciona bien hasta la temporalidad de 1D.
