Volume Delta Candles

Volume Delta Candles embeds the volume delta read directly in your candles. Using lower-timeframe or real-time tick data, it measures the balance of buy and sell volume inside each bar and paints that delta as a proportional colored segment (filling upward from the base for net buying, downward from the top for net selling), while a contrasting line marks the price level where the bar's heaviest trading took place.

How to Trade the Volume Delta Candles?

• Green segment rising from the candle base: positive delta. Buyers outweighed sellers inside the bar.
• Red segment hanging from the top: negative delta, net selling pressure.
• Delta color against candle color: a red delta inside a green-bordered candle (or the reverse) means order flow disagrees with the bar's direction, a conflict worth resolving before trusting the move.
• Max-volume price line: the busiest level inside the bar; enabling the previous-bar dot shows how these levels migrate from candle to candle.

The delta can be drawn across the full bar or half of it, opposing-sentiment colors are customizable, and a dotted vertical line marks where intrabar data begins. Optional labels print volume, delta, and percentage values for exact reading.
