A Volume Pressure Moving Average For ThinkOrSwim

Join useThinkScript to post your question to a community of 21,000+ developers and traders.

I found this Cumulative Vol Indicator on TV. Looks actually really good! It can filter wrong entries and keep you on the right side of the market.

@samer800 I know you are a wizard at this! If you have time, can you take a look at this one. I would really appreciate it!

Thank you in advance!

Hello @Luna. I copied the indicator into ToS (thanks t0 Sam4Cok). How do you use it to help with your technical analysis?
 
Hi @samer800, thanks for converting to TOS. Is it possible to add into the code signals to spot Divergence? I am using a Range timeframe of 40 Ticks - to 90 Days with this Cumulative Vol delta, and I see a divergence in the reversals. See below:

Is it possible to code?
@chewie76 @MerryDay
Thanks

How are you distinguishing a useful divergence from one that gives false signals? For example at 10:01 on the x-axis of your screenshot the histogram bars move in the opposite direction of the price candles but that’s not a reversal point. It seems like without cherry picking the divergences with hindsight, they’re not reliable - unless I’m missing something?

There is no holy grail anywhere that plots 100% accurate signals. It's not a false signal if you don't trade blindly and let the price action tell you what to do instead.

Hey @samer800, Thanks for putting time into the div development; Is it possible to enable the divergence in all places where there is a change of Vol (white circles)?

3fSQkDu.png


Notice that the divergence also occurs in two bull Volume bars or two bear bars and does not necessarily need to be when the Volume bar changes from Bull to Bear or Bear to Bull.

See that the reversal is also more pronounced when the difference in volume bar height is more significant (also seen in the white circles of the screenshot) - maybe that can be measured by calculating the angle of the two-volume bar height. Can we add an input to adjust the delta change to filter out only the most considerable vol changes?

This version of the indicator (https://tos.mx/FLkNIyY) was made thanks to @chewie76.

Let me know if these updates can be applied.

Thanks so much
 
can someone explain on how to use this? for a 5 min timeframe? what am i looking for?
This is a moving average indicator with a lookback of 14.
It wouldn't be used on charts of 5min due to the lag.

A large percentage of indicators on this forum are lagging indicators and thus not appropriate for scalper's aggregations.

Read more to see if you are trading on the right timeframe:

@samer800 is it possible to have input for lines on this at a given high/low level and alert. For instance, for SPY, I'd like to set lines at 30,000/-30000 and alert when the that is crossed?

add this at the end of the code.

CSS:
input threshold1 = 30000;
input threshold2 = -30000;

plot Line1 = threshold1;
plot Line2 = threshold2;
 
find the below

Hi @samer800, can the volume histogram be scaled from -100 to 100? That way, it is easier to combine with other indicators. Thanks
 
I am not a coder by any means of the imaginatoion lol, but i see quite a few people in here are absolutely incredible. Is it possible someone could take this tradingview Cumulative Volume Delta and convert it to TOS? I realize TOS nor tradingview provide real tick data but this is the best workaround i've seen. I've looked throught this site and searched and there is many flavors of something similar here already but nothing like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

can you make these arrows instead of chart bubbles? Please and thanks either way.
