sVPSA - standardized Volume Price Spread AnalysisDear Analysts and Traders,
I want to introduce my new indicator - sVPSA - standardized Volume Price Spread Analysis. For me, this script is helpfully in Technical Analysis mainly with Wyckoff and VSA methodologies. Maybe You are in circle of people who used my previous script - normalized Volume Price Spread Analysis. I work with him a lot of time, but I come to a conclusion that I can do better...
Theory concept...
What is a big volume? How big was this spread? It was extreme high or just high? How to do an answer for this and a lot other questions related to this subject? My thoughts was directed to statistics. In my first script I used to x/max normalized data. It was good, but susceptible for high deviation events. So, I choose standardization method with smaller sensitivity on violent events - z-Score standardization Description of z-Score formula:
Z = (x-mean)/standard deviation
Probability of event are descriptive by probability density function - The Normal Distribution.
en.wikipedia.org
en.Wikipedia.org
This is base of script methodology, let’s go deeper in indicator.
X axis is time, date. Y axis is standard deviation. Narrow bar represent price spread, wide one is volume. Colors are corresponding to deviation, blue < sigma, green > sigma, red > 2*sigma and fuchsia > 3*sigma. Appearance is full editable.
Data collection starts from left to right. There is two possibilities to use, constans number of bars or visible data range, also indicator permit to overscore linear regression from data. There is a possibility to set an alert.
Short introduction how put an interpretation on visualized data.
For this example I used constans value of data collection, 52 bars. So, from left I see great, fuchsia volume bar with low spread. This record respond Celsius withdrawals pause. This is bar with the biggest volume on presented chart, more than four sigmas. Spread value is near one sigma. I should consider this via one of Wyckoffs laws - effort vs result. I see a three bars in turn, they tenor tells me that bear market is possible near end. Accumulation structure near new year, spring test and bullish momentum bar near march are approval of this idea. Next high spread bars have volume near mean value. Effort is low but result is great. Interesting is last bar, with -2,8 deviation of volume. I see the lowest volume value on chart, so he’s deviation is strong to negative side. This script require a little of practise and can be a potent tool in Technical Analysis.
If You have a concept how to improve my script or You experience bug, please, send me feedback.
I hope that You consider my work as useful.
I wish You great trades and faultless analysis.

nVPSA - Normalized Volume-Price Spread AnalysisNormalized volume-price spread analysis indicator can be helpfully tool in Tom's William metodology - VSA.
The indicator use normalized data by y/x(max) operation, where x(max) is the biggest value in range. Indicator separate spread to four levels - standard divation is separator.
The indicator graphically shows:
- normalized volume, visualized by wide column,
- normalized price spread, visualized by narrow column,
- linear regression calculated from normalized volume, visualised by crosses,
- linear regression from normalized price spread, visualized by circles.
Columns are marked by five colors according to standard deviation:
- blue xsecond deviation, xfourth deviation,
- gold when volume or price spread achive new maximum in analysis range.
Linear regression uses three colors:
- green when volume/spread is up bar by bar,
- red when volume/spread is down bar by bar,
- black when volume/spread is down two times bar by bar.
Additionally, it is posible to use alarm on Golden Bar. Colors and range values are editable from indicator settings. Indicator
ADX Volume Trend
Thie indicator is a modified and upgraded version of the popular ADX tool.
ADX is used to determine the strength of a trend, and also to determine the direction in which the trend is likely to go.
With this script, I have added in the formula the usage of volume, leading to the following functionality.
The length is used to determine the period to calculate the trend strength and direction, and the average is used to then determine the oscillator and to confront the previous line.
The volume average determines how many volumes bars the indicator should use to determine if a volume bar is above or below average if volume mode is selected.
With the volume mode on, you'll get the DI+ and DI- lines, which are by default displayed as a histogram that calculates the difference between the two lines, called "Directional difference", are calculated using also the volume in the formula, multiplying the normal output by the volume multiplier. I suggest using this mode in high-volume markets.
The trend strength difference is the area calculated using the difference between the ADX line and his moving average and can be used to analyze divergences in the swing points.
It has a lot of improvements and new functionalities, like:
- Histogram to show the output at best
- Averages to compare the data
- The option to include the volume inside of the formula
- Other options and esthetic changes
This indicator is created to improve the usability of the popular ADX indicator, including the very important variable of the volumes, in fact, it's the best to use for the Volume Spread Analysis. Indicator

3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy [Kintsugi Trading]What is the 3LS | 3 Line Strike Strategy?
Incorporating the 3 Line Strike candlestick pattern into our strategy was inspired by Arty at The Moving Average and the amazing traders at TheTrdFloor .
The Three Line Strike is a trend continuation candlestick pattern consisting of four candles. Depending on their heights and collocation, a bullish or a bearish trend continuation can be predicted.
In a symphony of trend analysis, price action, and volume we can find and place high-probability trades with the 3LS Strategy.
How to use it!
----- First, start by choosing a Stop-Loss Strategy, Stop PIP Size, and Risk/Reward Ratio -----
- Stop-Loss Strategy
Fixed PIP Size – This uses the top/bottom of the indicator candle and places a TP based on the chosen Risk:Reward ratio.
ATR Trail (No set Target Profit, only uses ATR Stop)
ATR Trail-Stop (Has set Target Profit, however, stop is based on ATR inputs)
**If you choose an ATR Stop-Loss Strategy - input the desired ATR period and Multiple you would like the stop to be calculated at**
**ATR Stop-Loss Strategies have a unique alert setup for Auto-Trading. See Auto-Trading Section**
- Risk/Reward Ratio = If you have a .5 risk/reward, it means you are risking $100 to make $50.
- Additional Stop PIP Size = Number of PIPs over the default stop location of the top or bottom of the indicator candle.
----- Next, we set the Session Filter -----
Set the Timezone and Trade Session you desire. If no specific session is desired, simply set the Trade Session to 00:00 - 00:00.
----- Next, we set the Moving Average Cloud Fill -----
Enter the Fast and Slow Moving Average Length used to calculate trend direction:
MA Period Fast
MA Period Slow
These inputs will determine whether the strategy looks for Long or Short positions.
----- Next, we set the VSA – Volume Spread Analysis Settings -----
Check the box to show the indicator at the bottom of the chart if desired.
This is just a different visual output of the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis indicator available for free under the community indicators tab. You can add that indicator to your chart and see the same output in candle format.
In combination with the Moving Average Cloud, the Volume Spread Analysis will help us determine when to take a trade and in what direction.
The strategy is essentially looking for small reversals going against the overall trend and placing a trade once that reversal ends and the price moves back in the direction of the overall trend.
The 3LS Strategy utilizes confirmation between trend, volume, and price action to place high probability trades.
The VSA is completely customizable by:
Moving Average Length
MA-1 Multiplier
MA-2 Multiplier
MA-3 Multiplier
Check out the VSA | Volume Spread Analysis indicator in the community scripts section under the indicators tab to use this awesome resource on other strategies.
----- Next, we have the option to view the automated KT Bull/Bear Signals -----
Check the boxes to show the buy-sell signal on the chart if desired.
----- Next, we set the risk we want to use if Auto Trading the strategy -----
I always suggest using no more than 1-3% of your total account balance per trade. Remember, if you have multiple strategies triggering per day with each using 1%, the total percent at risk will be much larger.
For Example – if you have 10 strategies each risking 1% your total risk is 10% of your account, not 1%! Be mindful to only use 1-3% of your total account balance across all strategies, not just each individual one.
----- Finally, we backtest our ideas -----
After using the 'Strategy Tester' tab on PulseWire to thoroughly backtest your predictions you are ready to take it to the next level - Automated Trading!
This was my whole reason for creating the script. If you work a full-time job, live in a time zone that is hard to trade, or just don't have the patience, this will be a game-changer for you as it was for me.
Auto-Trading
When it comes to auto-trading this strategy I have included two options in the script that utilize the alert messages generated by PulseWire.
*Note: Please trade on a demo account until you feel comfortable enough to use real money, and then please stick to 1%-2% of your total account value in risk per trade.*

5) I like to title my Alert Name the same thing I named it as an Indicator Template to keep track
Good luck with your trading!
Strategy
Vol (Wyckoff)I like PulseWire Built-in Volume indicator, because it is overlay with price chart, and has appropriate scale.
I made similar style volume indicator and added concept of Laws of Wyckoff.
caution : You need {Chart settings} → {Appearance} → {Bottom margin} is set 0 %, to make chart look good.
: You need {Chart settings} → {Symbol} → {body} ,{Borders} and {Wick} are set dark color, to easier to identify the color of candles.
This ３ Laws of Wyckoff are my interpretation, not the original.
///////// The Law of Supply and Demand //////////
I define the Demand as volume that is larger than the previous volume and has close > open bar.
I define the Supply as volume that is larger than the previous volume and has close <= open bar.
Volume Flow is value difference between Demand MA and Supply MA.
I imitate the idea of "Volume Flow v3" by oh92.
///////// The Law of Cause and Effect //////////
Enough volume(Cause) makes reliable price movement(Effect).
If there is not enough volume, its price movement is suspicious.
I define enough volume as volume that is larger than previous volume.
I define large volume as volume that is larger than previous volume and over volume MA(using all volume).
I define "not enough volume" as volume that is smaller than previous volume.
I borrowed the idea from "The Lie Detector" by LucF.
Enough volume(increasing volume) is painted by dark color and Large volume(increasing volume and over volume MA) is painted by light color.
"Not enough volume"(decreasing volume) is painted by empty color(default is black).
This coloring are reflected to price candles.
So, you need {Chart settings} → {Symbol} → {body} ,{Borders} and {Wick} are set dark color, to easier to identify the color of candles.
///////// The Law of Effort and Result //////////
If volume (effort) cannot move price (result), it may be Absorption(potential reversal).
"Factor of Volume Density" determines the threshold of Absorption.
Small Absorption is displayed by gray square at bottom.
Large Absorption is displayed by white square at bottom.
///////// Volume Spike //////////
Volume Spike sometimes precede or confirm trend direction.
"Factor of Volume Spike" determines the threshold of Volume Spike.
Volume Spike is displayed by light bulb.

Total VolumeThis simple indicator unifies the volumes of multiple exchanges/brokers. The idea of this indicator stems from the need to monitor the movements made by whales on other markets that can actually influence the price (manipulations, arbitrage, etc.).
Basically, we can:
* choose the number and symbols
* choose with which algorithm to merge the volumes (sum, average, weighted average, maximum)
* color the histogram (based on the dominant exchange, classic green/red color, no color)
Furthermore, there is a summary table which, in addition to indicating the volume for each exchange, also indicates the color attributed.
you can see the volume of the current exchange behind the volume obtained by the algorithm.
If you have any questions, doubts or suggestions please write to me. Indicator

Volume Zones Multi-Timeframe OverlayAt its core, this indicator is a variation of my other indicator, Welkin Advanced Volume Overlay (for VSA )
This version is based on the power of multi-timeframe analysis. The basic functionality is simple: Plot lines from the high and low of candles formed during periods of high volume and fill the space between them. The volume levels for deciding what counts as "high volume" are based on standard deviations of the volume's SMA , and the higher the volume , the brighter the zone. i.e., a volume zone set by a volume level that is 4 standard deviations higher than average will be more "filled in" and less transparent than a volume zone from a 2 standard deviation candle.
These zones tend to act as areas of congestion, and the "ceilings" and "floors" of the zones as support and resistance . Overlapping zones tend to indicate strength and are likely to require more effort to get through. The more timeframes that agree with each other, the stronger the zone, ceiling, or floor.
By default, these zones are drawn based on the chart's timeframe and 1 timeframe higher, automatically set based on some "standard" values:
1m -> 5m
5m -> 15m
10m -> 30m
15m -> 60m
30m -> 60m
60m -> 1d
1d -> 1w
Finally, both the base timeframe and the higher timeframe are customizable; this is intended to make it easy to "double" up copies of the indicator to fit even more timeframes on the chart, creating a sort of heatmap for volume price analysis.
An example of three copies of the indicator, showing volume zones from 6 different timeframes. Indicator

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.

LPS PLSY INDICATOR for VSA( Google translation from Russian.)
Signal conditions:
1. There is a bar with an increased volume
2. The next bar after the bar with increased volume closes in the other direction
Arguments:
Comparison period - the period during which the volumes are compared with each other to calculate the bars with the increased volume.
sensitivity of increased volumes - according to the percentrank indicator - the border above which the volume will be considered large, the same as in the Volume on bar VSA indicator - indicator V2 - for clarity of how it works, I recommend looking at it.
efficiency of the next bar - (efficiency of the next bar from 0 to 100) ") - the efficiency of buying or selling on the next bar, bar field with a large volume. If the value is closer to 100, then the bars whose spread corresponds to the inserted volume will be taken into account, if closer to 0, then bars with a small spread and a large volume can be taken into account.
This argument is calculated similarly to the efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA
Attention.
In its original form, this indicator can give a large number of false signals. To filter out false signals, it should be used after studying the theory of VSA.
Russian language
Условия для сигнала:
1. Имеется бар с повышенным объёмом
2. Следующий бар после бара с повышенным объемом закрывается в другую сторону
Аргументы:
период для сравнения – период, на котором сравниваются между собой объёмы, для вычисления баров с повышенным объемом.
чувствительность повышенных объемов – согласно индикатору percentrank – граница выше которой̆ объем будет считаться большим, то же самое, что в индикаторе Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2 – для наглядности как это работает рекомендую посмотреть его.
эффективность следующего бара от 0 до 100 - эффективность покупок или продаж на следующем баре, поле бара с большим объемом. Если значение ближе к 100 то будут учитываться бары у которых спред соответствует вложенному объему, если ближе к 0 то могут учитываться бары у которых спред маленький а объем большой.
Расчёт этого аргумента производится аналогично индикатору efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA
Примечание
В исходном виде этот индикатор может давать большое количество ложных сигналов. Для отсеивания ложных сигналов его следует применять после изучения теории VSA. Indicator
Indicator
efficiency of bulls and bears for VSA(Google translation from Russian.)
This indicator shows the effectiveness of selling or buying.
It is calculated as follows: using percentrank, the volume and the value of the spread are estimated (momentum = 1)
the resulting estimate of the volume value is divided by the estimate of the spread (momentum = 1) and thus we obtain the value. The larger it is, the more efficient and easier the price movement was.
If the indicator value is small, then this means that the movement was ineffective, because the volume (money) was invested. but no result.
The color of the volume bars is assigned as follows:
Buyers:
If the volume is large - Blue - green
If middle, then blue
Small - light blue
Sellers:
If the volume is large - Burgundy color
If middle, then purple
Small volume - light purple
Indicator parameters:
Comparison period - the period at which the volumes and spread are compared with each other - by default it is 50, selected as the most universal period suitable for different timeframes. But for daytime ones. Weekly and monthly timeframes may need to be shortened. This is true after significant spikes in volume that are exceptional over the long term.
Period spread - Bars from close to close - or in other words, it is momentum - defaults to 1
sensitivity of increased volumes - according to the percentrank indicator - the limit above which the volume will be considered large, the same as in the Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2 - for clarity, I recommend looking at it.
The default is 85, which means. that if the current value of the volume is greater than 85% of the remaining values in this period, then such a value of the volume will be considered high.
medium volume sensitivity - the same sensitivity of increased volumes but for medium volumes.
multiplier of increased volumes - this is an empirical factor to emphasize the importance of increased volumes - default = 20
multiplier of average volumes - the same. As above, but for medium volumes - the default is 10
reduced volume multiplier - Default is 1.
Knowledge of VSA is required to read this indicator
This indicator is recommended for use with indicators:
Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2
BAR for VSA
Russian language
Этот индикатор показывает эффективность продаж или покупок.
Рассчитывается следующим образом: с помощью percentrank оценивается величина объема и велечина спреда (momentum = 1)
полученная оценка велечины объема делится на оценку спреда (momentum = 1) и таким образом получаем значение. Чем оно больше, тем движение цены было эффективнее и легче.
Если значение индикатора маленькое, то это означает, что движение было неэффективным, поскольку объем (деньги) вложили. а результата нет.
Цвет барам объемов присваиваются следующим образом:
У покупателей:
Если объем большой - Сине – зелёный цвет
Если средний – то голубой
Маленький – свело-голубой
У продавцов:
Если объем большой - Бордовый цвет
Если средний – то пурпурный
Маленький объем – светло-пурпурный
Параметры индикатора:
Comparison period (период для сравнения) – период на котором между собой сравниваются объемы и спред – по умолчанию равно 50 , выбрано как наиболее универсальный период подходящий для различных таймфреймов. Но для дневных. Недельных и месячных таймфреймов может потребоваться уменьшить период. Это актуально после значительных всплесков объемов, которые являются исключительными на длительном периоде.
Period spread - Bars from close to close (Период спреда - Баров от закрытия до закрытия) – или другими словами это momentum – по умолчанию равно 1
sensitivity of increased volumes (чувствительность повышенных объемов) – согласно индикатору percentrank – граница выше которой объем будет считаться большим, то же самое, что в индикаторе Volume on bar VSA - indicator V2 – для наглядности как это работает рекомендую посмотреть его.
По умолчанию задано 85 – это означает. что если текущее значение объема больше, чем 85% остальных значений на этом периоде, то такое значение объема будет считаться высоким.
medium volume sensitivity (чувствительность средних объемов) – то же самое sensitivity of increased volumes но для средних объемов.
multiplier of increased volumes (множитель (вес) повышенных объемов) – это эмперический коэффициент для придания особой важности повышенным объемам- по умолчанию = 20
multiplier of average volumes (множитель (вес) средних объемов) – то же самое. Что и выше, но для средних объемов – по умолчанию равно 10
reduced volume multiplier (множитель (вес) пониженных объемов) – по умолчанию равно 1.
