Updates & Features:

• Showing Volume Bars as Candlesticks is now optional and can be toggled on/off in the study settings
• Added Labels to show Day and Current Volume/ Avg Relative Volume / and Vol Relative to Previous

When the chart time frame > daily time frame the daily volume label will be hidden.
The Blue is volume average with a default length of 20.
The Orange line is a 2-sigma (2 deviations from the average) volume filter.
The Magenta line is a 3-sigma volume filter .
When volume is greater than the average a blue triangle will be plotted above the volume candlestick. When above the 2-sigma line it will be orange, and when above the 3-sigma it will be magenta.
When current volume exceeds the averages the label will change from gray to blue/orange/magenta depending on which is crossed.
If the daily vol exceeds the daily vol average the label will change from gray to blue.

• Added Buy/Sell Str for current aggregation and a 2nd aggregation
  Note that this does not provide the true buy and sell volume, as this data is not available through TOS for individual stocks, although there are market internals that show up and down volume available for the different exchanges. Alternatively up and down tick data can be utilized to try and estimate buy and sell volume, but you do not know how many contracts/shares there are in a given tick. This method is just a workaround by finding the percent difference of the close price relative to a candles range (high - low) and multiplying it by volume.
  BuyStr = (close - low) / (high - low)
  SellStr = (high - close) / (high - low)
  This is also kind of similar to how a part of ADL or CMF is calculated, which uses (close - low) - (high - close) / (high - low)
• Added option to paint volume bars reflecting Buy/Sell strength
• Added option to show 2nd aggregation Buy/Sell strength clouds in the background
• Added options to repaint volume bars if they exceed the averages.
• Added option to color volume bars gray(or whatever color you want) if they are below average.
• Added a tolerance level that can be set ( currently 1.25) that if the current bar is 1.25x greater volume relative to the previous volume bar it will be painted (currently yellow by default) even if it is not above the volume average, sigma2, or sigma3.
• Added Label for Extended Trading Hours total volume (ETH TVOL), not showing by default, change ShowEthTotalVol to yes for it to be visible. If the chart aggregation is >= daily then it will not show.
• Added $TICK Label
• Added $TICK vertical lines which are plotted when $TICK > 1000 or < -1000 (this level can also be adjusted in the study settings if you want to plot at a level other than +/-1000)
• Added an option to paint price bars according to how you've customized the volume settings

Upper Study for VSA

I created this indicator to accompany the main volume indicator for those who use VSA (Volume Spread Analysis), what this does is draws a line across at high and low of bars with high interest volume.

@Ishaam I feel like an oscillator might better suit your needs, this is based on the same volume buy and sell strength calculations, but a difference is taken and plotted as a moving average. Let me know if this works better for you, otherwise I'll make some changes to the other study.

@Ishaam I feel like an oscillator might better suit your needs, this is based on the same volume buy and sell strength calculations, but a difference is taken and plotted as a moving average. Let me know if this works better for you, otherwise I'll make some changes to the other study.

Is there a link for that 'WelkinVolumeCandlesticks' study from the quoted post?

I feel as though I cannot locate it...

Thanks!

Thanks!

that was the name of the indicator in its first stages, and its initial feature highlight. But because I've added so many features to it I requested BenTen to change the thread title to advanced volume indicator, since its grown far beyond what it was in its initial stages. Showing volume as candlesticks is now the first toggle in the study settings:

I love this indicator! I have a question for it, as well as custom volume indicators as a whole- Should we disable the "show volume subgraph" setting?

not necessary, although if you find that your volume color presets are interfering with your volume analysis, I recommend changing that to black or whatever color to better match your ToS theme background so that it doesn't bleed through the squared histogram bars, as the indicator overlays on top.

The first line in the script

declare on_volume;

can be changed to

declare lower;

if you wish to remove volume subgraph and have it automatically set as a lower study when added to charts, rather than having to manually drag it down to lower studies.

I appreciate the input. Your method seems to work with this script. I know it may not be appropriate to ask here, but for the "better volume V3 addon" I'm seeing this strange thing happening to my volume graph

Any input?

@Welkin - thanks - this is a really good indicator. Is it possible to enable it on a watchlist as well? It will be easy to see the big movers and their volume info without opening each chart separately. Thanks a lot

 

[Welkin]

@Necr0sis it looks to me like the oscillating red/green line (plot named VxNet) at the bottom is going into the negative causing the study to be automatically resized to fit the volume pane, rather than remaining at zerobase. this would be one of those volume indicators that you'd have set as lower study and disable the volume subgraph on because of that aspect, that is if you consider the dark volume bars the indicator is floating above an eyesore.

Awesome Awesome. Again, thanks for answering a question about an unrelated indicator. Your advanced volume doesn't seem to have the same issue though, great indicator!

I've got some more questions on this indicator:

Is there any downside to setting my time frame much lower than the second aggregation. For instance, I have my aggregation as 1D, so when I use the 1D time frame I get the message to "Check aggregation". Let's say I increase it to a week, will that cause the lower time frames (from 1D and lower) to be innacurate?

Next, I'm kind of new to trading, and I was wondering what the buy/sell strength is?

Finally, I noticed on the iphone app there is a pink line sitting ontop of the bars.

I find that to be very useful, and was wondering how to enable that on the desktop version of the indicator?

Thank you!

Sorry, I didn't script this with mobile in mind. And honestly, I've never tried to view it in mobile, lol. Pretty sure most of its features won't work on mobile.
I can see that the volume bars aren't even being repainted to indicate if above or below average volume bars. The pink line that you are referencing is actually the volsignal plot, on the desktop it shows up as a triangle plotted above each volume bar depending on whether its above average or above a sigma filter. if you wish for it to be a line instead you can change it in the study settings under the VolSignal tab.
Setting your chart's aggregation to a lower aggregation than the buy sell str agg2 will not affect or cause any inaccuracies in the volume data displayed.
The buy/sell strength is explained in the main post with all of the other listed features. the aggregation set in the indicator for buy sell str agg2 are for the labels, and the buy sell str background clouds if toggled on. clouds and labels don't show up on mobile.

I did create a 'Lite' version of the Advanced Volume script which has the buy/sell str features removed, because it was causing issues when viewing custom time frames that aren't commonly used (such as 195 min chart aggregation for example).
if anyone wishes to use it instead it can be found here: https://tos.mx/1c4C3S6

I created this indicator to accompany the main volume indicator for those who use VSA (Volume Spread Analysis), what this does is draws a line across at high and low of bars with high interest volume.

@Welkin Hi, thank you for this awesome indicator. I have downloaded the script and this is the image i am seeing, without the lower indicator, is that correct? I have two requests and like to seek your help, is there any way we can scan the orange or magenta candles ? 2. What will be the ideal way to trade with this indicator? Is it that a breakout above the Top of orange will imply greater momentum? I would like to know the concept behind so that it can be more effective utilised. Thank you

Yes, the VSA upper indicator is complimentary to the lower indicator, but it can be utilized on its own. though I'd like to recommend the following changes:
1. in the indicator settings toggle 'paint price as vol' to yes.
2. because you have both up and down bars set to fill in your chart appearance settings, I recommend unchecking one so that ones solid and one is hollow, this way you can better distinguish if a repainted bar is bullish or bearish because they will no longer be just green or red candles.

The orange or magenta candles would have a volume that exceeds the sigma2(orange) or sigma3(magenta) filter. you can set a scan for those candles as follows:
Create a scan and add a study filter

Edit the study filter here

Delete the existing condition under the condition wizard panel, then click Add Condition with the following condition settings

Trading with VSA and volume in general is a big topic. I suggest searching and learning about Wyckoff Volume Spread Analysis and methodology as well as Dow Theory of Volume confirmation. This video should act as a good starting point:

There are tons of free resources online, just try looking around on youtube and google. Hope this helps.

I created a watchlist column to show relative to average vol as well as relative vol to previous bar, the background will also paint accordingly if volume is below/above averages on at the set aggregation.

#Advanced Volume Watchlist Column

def Num_Dev2 = 3.0;
def averageType = AverageType.SIMPLE;
def sDev = StDev(data = Vol, length = AvgVolLength);
def VolAvg = MovingAverage(VolAverageType, volume, AvgVolLength);
def VolSigma2 = VolAvg + Num_Dev1 * sDev;
def VolSigma3 = VolAvg + Num_Dev2 * sDev;
def RelVol = Vol / VolAvg[1];
def RelPrevVol = volume / volume[1];
AssignBackgroundColor(if Vol > VolSigma3 then Color.MAGENTA else if Vol > VolSigma2 then Color.DARK_ORANGE else if Vol > VolAvg then CreateColor(0, 100, 200) else if RelPrevVol >= RelativetoPrevVolTolerance then Color.YELLOW else Color.GRAY);

AddLabel(1, Round(RelVol, 2) + "x / " + Round(RelPrevVol, 2) +"x", Color.BLACK);

And here is a strength column

#Buy/Sell Strength Column
def o = open;
def h = high;
def l = low;
def c = close;
def PR = h - l;
def BuyStr = ((c - l) / PR) * 100;

AddLabel(1,Round(BuyStr,1)+" | " + Round(100-BuyStr,1)+"%", Color.BLACK);

AssignBackgroundColor(if BuyStr >= 70 then Color.Green else if BuyStr > 50 then Color.DARK_GREEN else if BuyStr <= 30 then Color.RED else if BuyStr < 50 then Color.DARK_RED else Color.GRAY);

 

[Necr0sis]

@Welkin I want to actually ask about the VSA addon again. I was wondering if it would be possible to make the VSA lines coming from the bars to have the shaded transparent background (Kind of like the Supply Demand zones on the AMM 2.0)

 

[Necr0sis]

You know, I just had another good idea for this. The triangles indicating an increasing in volume is awesome, and it makes me wonder if you can create another similar addition that places a triangle (or any boolean) on a volume bar that meets the condition of a long top or bottom wick, and the volume is less than the previous two volumes (for testing supply and demand)

@Welkin Also, I was wondering if you could perhaps provide some sort of guide at interpreting the indicator and the VSA addon?
