The Volume Zones Internal Visualizer is an alternate candle type intended to reveal lower timeframe volume activity while on a higher timeframe chart.

It displays the candle's range, the highest and lowest zones of accumulated volume throughout the candle, and the Lower Timeframe (LTF) candle close, which contained the most volume in the session (Candle Session).

Usage

indicator image

The indicator is intended to be used as its own independent candle type. It is not a replacement for traditional candlesticks; however, it is recommended that you hide the chart's display when using this indicator. Another option is to display this indicator in an additional pane alongside the normal chart, as displayed above.

The display consists of candle ranges represented by outlined boxes, within the ranges you will notice a transparent-colored zone, a solid-colored zone, and a line.

Each of these displays different points of volume-related information from an analysis of LTF data.

In addition to this analysis, the indicator also locates the LTF candle with the highest volume, and displays its close represented by the line. This line is considered as the "Peak Activity Level" (PAL), since throughout the (HTF) candle session, this candle's close is the outcome of the most volume transacted at the time.

We are further tracking these PALs by continuing to extend them into the future, looking towards them for potential further interaction. Once a PAL is crossed, we are removing it from display as it has been mitigated.

Detail

The indicator aggregates the volume data from each LTF candle and creates a volume profile from it; the number of rows in the profile is determined by the "Row Size" setting.

With this profile, it locates and displays the highest (solid area) and lowest (transparent area) volume zones from the profile created.

Settings

  • Row Size: Sets the number of rows used for the calculation of the volume profile based on LTF data.
  • Intrabar Timeframe: Sets the Lower Timeframe to use for calculations.
  • Show Last Unmitigated PALs: Choose how many Unmitigated PALs to extend.
  • Style: Toggle on and off features, as well as adjust colors for each.
