I like my indicators to be easy on the eyes and intuitive just by a quick look. So, here is a volume pressure indicator that not only measures the chart asset, but it calculates the Magnificent 7, QQQ, and SPY. When the colors are all the same enter the trade!

def sellV_ma  = MovingAverage(Volume_AvgType, selling, Volume_Length);
