Volume Trend Color
This indicator colors volume bars according to trend context
instead of individual candle direction.
How it works
- A moving average of volume defines the reference level
(yellow line).
- A second moving average on price defines trend direction.
- Bars are green when price trades above the trend MA, red
when below, and gray when volume falls under the
low-volume threshold.
Why color by trend rather than by candle
Coloring volume by candle direction repeats information
already visible on the price chart: a red candle produces a
red bar, and nothing is added. Coloring by trend context
instead answers a different question, namely whether
participation is arriving in the direction the reader is
already tracking. A pullback inside an uptrend will show
red candles but green volume bars, which makes it easy to
separate a pause in an ongoing move from a genuine loss of
participation. The neutral gray state marks bars where
volume is too low to support either reading.
Settings
- Volume MA length: reference average for volume.
- Low-volume threshold: fraction of the volume MA below
which a bar is treated as noise. Raise it to filter more
aggressively.
- Trend MA length: default 50. Shorten it on fast intraday
charts if the color state lags the moves being traded.
- Trend MA type: EMA or SMA.
- Trend source: price series used for the trend MA.
Alerts
Two conditions are available: volume above its average
while price is above the trend MA, and the same while
price is below it.
