All Buy / Sell Volume Pressure Indicators & Labels For ThinkOrSwim

[cnsling]

Knowing the percentage of buyers and sellers in the market is a powerful tool for making informed investment decisions. By using this script, traders can assess the market sentiment and determine whether there is a high demand for a particular stock, or if there are more sellers than buyers. This information can help traders to time their trades more effectively, as well as to identify potential trends or market reversals. The buyPercent and sellPercent variables calculate the percentage of buying and selling volume, respectively, in relation to the total trading volume. These percentages are displayed in the labels, along with the current buying and selling volumes. The labels are color-coded to indicate whether there is more buying or selling pressure in the market, with green indicating more buying and red indicating more selling.

You didn't provide enough information to say where you went astray.

Here is a shared chart link: http://tos.mx/!ngpkElyB with the label indicator applied.
MUST follow these instructions for loading shared links.

When you import the chart link, the indicator will be put into your library.

Im not much of a scripter, but is there any way it can plot some type of indication like a dot or arrow when volume switches to buying and the candlestick is red(selling) and vise versa for when the volume switches to selling but the candlestick is green(buying)

Here's an example of what I mean. These were Friday's EXPY SPY contracts. The Chart set up is with heiken ashi candles. What I've noticed is that when momentum is shifting to the bullish or bearish side. The Candlestick stick opposes its volume indication. So a bearish candlestick on a positive volume indication followed by a second consecutive bullish volume has been indicating a quick bullish move or a true bullish move and vise versa for the bear side. Any way we can find a way to get indications for those kinds of moments?

That chart looks good for options from the screenshot. Could you please chare the chart if possible? Thanks

I downloaded this short script:

# Average Volume Line
def AverageVolume = Average(VolumeHistogram, 50);
plot AverageVolumeLine = AverageVolume;
AverageVolumeLine.SetDefaultColor(Color.GRAY);
AverageVolumeLine.SetStyle(Curve.FIRM);

# Label indicating Buyers/Sellers Volume
def isBuyersVolumeGreater = BV > SV;
def isSellersVolumeGreater = SV > BV;
AddLabel(yes, if isBuyersVolumeGreater then "Buyers Volume > Sellers Volume" else if isSellersVolumeGreater then "Sellers Volume > Buyers Volume" else "Buyers Volume = Sellers Volume",
if isBuyersVolumeGreater then Color.GREEN else if isSellersVolumeGreater then Color.RED else Color.YELLOW);


# Buyer and Seller Percentage Labels
def TotalVolume = VolumeHistogram + AverageVolume;
def BuyerPercentage = Buying / TotalVolume * 100;
def SellerPercentage = Selling / TotalVolume * 100;
AddLabel(yes, "Buyer %: " + Round(BuyerPercentage, 2) + "%", Color.GRAY);
AddLabel(yes, "Seller %: " + Round(SellerPercentage, 2) + "%", Color.GRAY);


I like to change it a bit to show on the buyer and seller percentage labels at the end, to lit up green if the isBuyerVolumeGreater is true or if the isSellersVolumeGreater is true at any point in time. In other words whichever of the two is higher at any point will lit green. Not sure how to change it to reflect this. I tried using If Then Else but no luck there...

Replace these portions of your code with the following and it should do what you want.

AddLabel(yes, "Buyer %: " + Round(BuyerPercentage, 2) + "%", if BuyerPercentage > SellerPercentage then Color.GREEN else Color.GRAY);
AddLabel(yes, "Seller %: " + Round(SellerPercentage, 2) + "%", if SellerPercentage > BuyerPercentage then Color.GREEN else Color.GRAY);

This is a mashup of buy Sell volume & Built-in Warningsymbols indicator to generate a buy sell signal based on Buy volume crossing over or under Sell volume to show the Buy/Sell Bubble.

Also, the warning symbols code is used to generate Yellow color on the GREEN and RED lines - whenever the market is going from bull / bear to sideways or losing momentum.

# Filtered Buy and Sell Volume Averages with Warning
# Conversion from Pine Script to ThinkScript
# Author Keyur Shah (softwareklinic)

# Part of this code for warning symbols is an extract of the original think or swim WarningSymbols indicator to plot yellow color on GREEN and RED lines for buy and sell volumes
# the yellow color is to advise traders to stay away from trading that area of price
