Buy & Sell Volume (OWI)📊 Buy & Sell Volume (OWI) Indicator Guide
The Buy & Sell Volume (OWI) indicator is designed to provide a visual breakdown of buying and selling pressure in each candle, helping traders identify volume surges and potential market moves. It also includes a time filter to focus analysis during key trading hours.
⚙️ Setup & Inputs
When adding the indicator to your chart, you'll see several configurable inputs:
SMA Length : Sets the period for the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of total volume.
Enable Time Filter : Toggles whether to restrict analysis to US market hours (Eastern Time). |
Start Hour/Minute : Defines the beginning of the time filter window (default: 9:45 ET). |
End Hour/Minute : Defines the end of the time filter window (default: 16:15 ET). |
📈 How It Works
🔍 Volume Breakdown
Buy Volume: Estimated volume attributed to buyers, calculated based on candle position.
Sell Volume: Estimated volume attributed to sellers.
Total Volume SMA: A moving average of total volume to benchmark current activity.
⏰ Time Filter (Optional)
When enabled, the indicator only highlights volume spikes during the specified US market hours. This helps filter out noise from pre-market or after-hours trading.
🚨 Highlight Conditions
The indicator flags significant volume spikes with labels above the volume bars:
| Label | Condition |
| V+ | Volume is between 1.5× and 2× the SMA, during market hours (if enabled). |
| V++ | Volume exceeds 2× the SMA, during market hours (if enabled). |
💡 Tips
- Use shorter SMA lengths for more reactive volume analysis.
- Change the time filter if you're trading outside US market hours.
- Combine with candlestick patttern to confirm breakout or reversal signals.
