The author states:
Volume can be a very useful tool if used correctly. Relative volume is designed to filter out the noise and highlight anomalies assisting traders in tracking institutional movements. This tool can be used to identify stop loss hunters and organized dumps. It uses a variety of moving averages to hide usual activity and features an LSMA line to show trend. Trend columns are shown to highlight activity and can be seen at bottom of the volume columns, this is done using ZLSMA and LSMA.

Hello, relative volume has been a helpful indicator for me and I find this RVOL on tradingview to be very good. I have tried to convert the code from pinescript to thinkscript but have not been successful. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

This is awesome! Thank you very much @samer800
 
Hello, samer800...I copied and pasted the thinkscript in my TOS platform and I get an AddLable error:
"AddLabel is not allowed in this context"
Any idea what went wrong?

This script was created for adding to your charts.

The error that you are seeing occurs when you are attempting to add a chart script to a ToS widget.
If you are attempting to use this study in the scan hacker widget, here is a tutorial:

Is it possible to make this code based on volume average the last X amount of days?
