Working Volume Indicator for Range/Renko Bars

Several months ago, while messing around with Horseriders RSI indicator, when I added parts of the previous volume indicator, which I tweaked to my liking, I discovered it would display on Range/Renko Charts

The arrows are suppose to signify when volume is 250/500% greater than the 30 day Avg. and the buy vol is greater than 70% for that bar and vice versa for sell Volume. Whether this is actually working correctly on Range/Renko Bars is frankly, beyond me....Looking thru the charts, if used with price action, it does appear to be useful.

Attached is a 3 day ATR chart and a 3 yr ATR Range chart.

The "Sell" label only indicates that the current bars sell volume is greater than 70% and does not indicate that you should actually go short

Note - removed some labels from original volume indicator as they prevented the indicator from displaying on Range/Renko Charts

Hi @RedToGreen -great work for those of us who trade Range/Renko Bars. Can you add the Daily Volume and the Avg 30 day Volume as a label on the lower study?
 
very intriguing indicator. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I trade normal candle bars but the indicators seems really cool!
 
Hello Traders,
A friend provided me with this volume study. It works just fine and it does a pretty decent job at measuring volume on any timeframe. However, I would like to know if it any of you guys could modify the code so it works on renko/range bars. If not, any suggestions for a volume indicator that works for renko/range bars based on the actual ticks [timestamp] would be much appreciated. Stay safe out there.
