Volume Delta Methods (Chart)

Volume Delta Methods (Chart) brings order flow onto the price chart itself, plotting the net difference between buying and selling activity and total volume as histograms, with buy/sell volume shown in the tooltips of the optional value and divergence labels. Layered on top, cumulative volume delta, drawn as a line, area, baseline, or candles, aggregates that pressure over time, showing which side has controlled an entire move rather than a single bar.

How to Trade the Volume Delta Methods (Chart)?

• Positive delta: buying pressure leads the bar; negative delta: sellers dominate it.
• Delta polarity against bar polarity: when the two disagree, a divergence prints, an early clue for reversals, or for continuation hiding beneath the surface.
• CVD direction and divergences: sustained CVD trends reveal longer-horizon conviction, and price rising against a falling CVD deserves suspicion.
• Numerical values: optional labels for reading exact delta figures.

Two estimation modes drive the numbers: Intrabar Buying/Selling Pressure infers direction from where each lower-timeframe close lands within its bar's range, while Intrabar Polarity classifies by close versus open. A volume moving average and a CVD smoothing line are available for extra context.
