this is a lower study, that will color the 10 highest volume bars.

if you want it to appear on the volume chart, disable the 'declare lower' line, and drag the name into the volume chart section.


Ruby: 
# top10_vol_bars_01

# color the top 10 vol bars

declare lower;

def na = Double.NaN;
def bn = BarNumber();

def v = volume;
# use highestall x times

def v1 = highestall( v );
def v2 = highestall( if v < v1 then v else 0);
def v3 = highestall( if v < v2 then v else 0);
def v4 = highestall( if v < v3 then v else 0);
def v5 = highestall( if v < v4 then v else 0);
def v6 = highestall( if v < v5 then v else 0);
def v7 = highestall( if v < v6 then v else 0);
def v8 = highestall( if v < v7 then v else 0);
def v9 = highestall( if v < v8 then v else 0);
def v10 = highestall( if v < v9 then v else 0);

def x1 = if v == v1 then 1 else 0;
def x2 = if v == v2 then 1 else 0;
def x3 = if v == v3 then 1 else 0;
def x4 = if v == v4 then 1 else 0;
def x5 = if v == v5 then 1 else 0;
def x6 = if v == v6 then 1 else 0;
def x7 = if v == v7 then 1 else 0;
def x8 = if v == v8 then 1 else 0;
def x9 = if v == v9 then 1 else 0;
def x10 = if v == v10 then 1 else 0;

def bars = (x1 or x2 or x3 or x4 or x5 or x6 or x7 or x8 or x9 or x10);
 
plot z = v;
z.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
z.AssignValueColor(if bars then color.green else color.gray);

might be able to use the priceline code, with 1000 offset instead of highestall...

Thank you for sharing @halcyonguy!! Not sure that its working as I am understanding it should? I'd like to see x number of highest volume bars within the last y number of bars. This code is only showing me 1 bar from yesterday on the 5 min /NQ chart. Appreciate any response/feedback greatly !!

Can you please include the code so that I can have a watchlist column that shows when one of my stocks just had one of its top ten daily volumes?
 
Is there a way I can just paint the candles with top 3 volume bars in purple color? Leave the Volume bar color as is and just paint the candle.

Thanks for the script above, really helpful.

I need one more favor, can I put a time filter to show this only between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM for the current trading day? Not sure if this is even possible.
 
Could you have the script plot lines on the high and low of the candles associated with the high volume similar to support and resistance, please

this will draw horizontal lines, on up to 10 bars, that correspond to the 10 highest volume bars.
can choose how many pairs of lines to draw , 0 to 10.

Click to expand...

this allows user to pick a time period to enable calculating highest volume bars
default,
input start = 1000;
input end = 1530;
period may be off an hour or 2,... depending on time zone, and it's late and i'm tired....

I've modified the code to change the top volume candles to be red or green depending of bear or bullish.
This is with Equivolume candles on to make it so you can see the volume better.







Code: 
def na = Double.NaN;
def bn = BarNumber();

def v = volume;

# Highest volume bars
def v1 = highestall(v);
def v2 = highestall(if v < v1 then v else 0);
def v3 = highestall(if v < v2 then v else 0);
def v4 = highestall(if v < v3 then v else 0);
def v5 = highestall(if v < v4 then v else 0);
def v6 = highestall(if v < v5 then v else 0);
def v7 = highestall(if v < v6 then v else 0);
def v8 = highestall(if v < v7 then v else 0);
def v9 = highestall(if v < v8 then v else 0);
def v10 = highestall(if v < v9 then v else 0);

def x1 = if v == v1 then 1 else 0;
def x2 = if v == v2 then 1 else 0;
def x3 = if v == v3 then 1 else 0;
def x4 = if v == v4 then 1 else 0;
def x5 = if v == v5 then 1 else 0;
def x6 = if v == v6 then 1 else 0;
def x7 = if v == v7 then 1 else 0;
def x8 = if v == v8 then 1 else 0;
def x9 = if v == v9 then 1 else 0;
def x10 = if v == v10 then 1 else 0;

def bars = x1 or x2 or x3 or x4 or x5 or x6 or x7 or x8 or x9 or x10;

# Market direction
def bullish = close > open;
def bearish = close < open;

# Assign color based on condition
plot z = v;
z.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);

# Due to the script's restrictions, we'll adjust the color assignment logic
z.AssignValueColor(if bars then if bullish then Color.GREEN else Color.RED else Color.GRAY);
