Volume Detector 5 *
For any bugs, or feature requests, please follow up in this thread.

An advanced volume analysis indicator that identifies and visualizes significant volume events on your chart using dynamic or static thresholds. The indicator processes tick-by-tick data to detect unusual volume activity and displays it as colored circles or ellipses directly on the price chart.

Key Features:
  • Dual Threshold Modes: Choose between Static (fixed volume threshold) or Dynamic (calculated based on recent volume averages)
  • Real-time & Historical Analysis: Processes both live tick data and historical data for complete market analysis
  • Visual Volume Events: Displays volume spikes as colored circles/ellipses with customizable size, opacity, and colors
  • Buy/Sell Pressure Detection: Differentiates between buying and selling volume with distinct colors
  • Smart Circle Merging: Automatically merges overlapping volume events to reduce chart clutter
  • Flexible Shape Options: Choose between perfect circles or elliptical shapes that can stretch horizontally
  • Advanced Scaling: Dynamic circle sizing based on volume magnitude with configurable scaling factors
  • Performance Optimized: Configurable historical data processing limits to manage memory usage

Main Settings:
  • Threshold Method: Static (fixed value) or Dynamic (multiple of average volume)
  • Volume Multiplier: Sets how many times the average volume triggers an event (Dynamic mode)
  • Shape Style: Circle (perfect round) or Ellipse (oval with customizable height)
  • Circle Scaling: Radius, scaling factor, and maximum size limits
  • Colors: Separate colors for buying vs selling volume events
  • Historical Processing: Days to process and enable/disable historical analysis
