I created this indicator after reading Anna Coulling book on volume price analysis. https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Gui...t=&hvlocphy=9051671&hvtargid=pla-432422856366

The indicator finds irregular bodies based on candle size and volume it colors price to indicate irregular bodies below volume average (blue bullish and plum bearish) and indicate bodies above-average volume (cyan bullish ad magenta bearish). Also colors price with above-average volume (green bullish and red bearish) and below-average volume (light green bullish and orange bearish).

It's certainly a recommended read, even if she has a really long winded way of getting to the point, but I consider it one of the better TA books written. This is a great indicator.

Run this on the 5m and a cyan candle is usually preceded by a nice run, assuming you can filter out choppy periods. A combo of ADX and MTF can help with this.

I'm struggling to find a chart today where cyan candles failed (other than choppy periods).

Nice work
 
Awesome study. I also noticed that cyan candles are followed by a nice reversal. Is it possible to only have those candles colored?
 
Neat indicator!
I added signals based off the cyan and magenta bars represented by green/red vertical lines and an adjustable multiplier to specify how much above the average they must be before triggering a signal. You can also choose to allow/disallow opposing volume. In back testing the default settings here seemed to work best.

Note: My mods are geared towards use on a 1d/1min chart. You may need to make adjustments for higher time frames.

And I reworked the code a little bit to reduce redundancy and make it easier to modify in the future.

Trying to debug an anomaly in this script where a cyan bar(up3) is being printed even though its not exceeding the volAvg.
Code: 
def up3 = if IR_BODYG and (Vol > VolAvg) then 1 else 0;

Any ideas?

As mentioned:
"Note: My mods are geared towards use on a 1d/1min chart. You may need to make adjustments for higher time frames."

It works fine for me on the hourly. But since its calculating signals based off 2x the average volume you may find fewer signals. Try reducing the value from 2 to 1.

thanks I will check on update you .
 
Do a search for Volume Price Analysis or Volume Spread Analysis.

I really appreciate all of your comments and feedback. They have helped me to grow and to understand the needs of other traders, which is my goal that we all prosper, become better traders, and investors.

Look forward to it and thank you for sharing this indicator. I am a huge fan of volume & supply/demand too, it's always interesting to see new ways of analyzing volume and finding new indicators to help with this.

I added signals based off the cyan and magenta bars represented by green/red vertical lines and an adjustable multiplier to specify how much above the average they must be before triggering a signal. You can also choose to allow/disallow opposing volume. In back testing the default settings here seemed to work best.

I found your mod interesting and altered it to create an upper indicator with arrows. However, upon observation the signals repaint until the next bar closes, and upon inspection of the code this makes sense since your signal in fact relies on the bar after the anomaly. Can you share how you use the signals in light of the repainting? Do you simply wait for the next bar to close or perhaps enter in the middle of the bar?

I tend to wait for the next bar to close. If price is divergence with disparity index then I take the trade.

Ok, waiting for that next candle to close makes sense, especially on a 1 min. chart where it's not too much delay. Do you mind explaining your second sentence in more detail? When is "price divergence with disparity index" and what is the disparity index you refer to?

Thanks for your help.

I can't upload an image to this site from my phone, but divergence in the disparityIndex is much like rsi or macd divergence except it seems to show them earlier and in more detail. The disparity index I use is one I customized to include Bollinger bands, but you can use the factory one that is available in TOS.
When I see a cyan or magenta bar on the Anna Coulling VPA I check to see if the price is in divergence with the disparity index indicator.

I created this indicator after reading Anna Coulling book on volume price analysis. https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Gui...t=&hvlocphy=9051671&hvtargid=pla-432422856366

The indicator finds irregular bodies based on candle size and volume it colors price to indicate irregular bodies below volume average (blue bullish and plum bearish) and indicate bodies above-average volume (cyan bullish ad magenta bearish). Also colors price with above-average volume (green bullish and red bearish) and below-average volume (light green bullish and orange bearish).

Hi Best wishes: good work: you thread has me thinking re the following Brain Storm: a look at the Tickprofile indicator at TOS. also TSM, time segmented volume indicator. Your interest in volume : it reminds me of a basic Chemistry common concept a. Irregular bodies- specimens are brought into a lab: size is determined by measuring volume in chemistry laboratory studies by immersing it in a volume of water in a graduated cylinder Example. Step 1 measure the level of liquid in the cyclinder before immersion. Step 2 Immerse the object Step 3. Notice the difference in Volume from step 1 to step 2 and you have the change in volume.
look at Perry Kaufman's indicator:
Price change/ Volume Change %: Perrry Kaufman's Averages also measure degrees of Efficiency Ratio which measures following Efficiency Ratio = Change in Price/ Volitility.
The higher the Eff Ratio the more linear the movement in the stock (wave,function,option, future, etc). to summarize: charts with Candles which are basically analagous to a cyclinder. and you are looking at price changes reflected over time. You also want volume changes to give you indications of directional change:
So now you want Efficiency Ratio of Net Change in Price/Volume in a specific time and you want to see if this variable is increasing or decreasing.. Try Rate of Change in Volume vs Rate of Change in Price, also look at Benoit Mendelbrot's concept of Fractal Energy which measures degree of linear movement in any period of a time/space in a particular function (stock, option, wave). That is what occurs to me in spending time on this thread. Best to all.

Neat indicator!
I added signals based off the cyan and magenta bars represented by green/red vertical lines and an adjustable multiplier to specify how much above the average they must be before triggering a signal. You can also choose to allow/disallow opposing volume. In back testing the default settings here seemed to work best.

Note: My mods are geared towards use on a 1d/1min chart. You may need to make adjustments for higher time frames.

And I reworked the code a little bit to reduce redundancy and make it easier to modify in the future.
Thanks @Cwparker23 !
