Volume Anormal

The **Abnormal Volume** is an advanced flow and participation analysis indicator designed to detect abnormal volume spikes across multiple timeframes simultaneously, helping traders identify areas of strong market activity, accumulation, distribution, absorption, and potentially explosive price movements.
Unlike traditional volume indicators that analyze only the current chart timeframe, this script performs a true multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis by comparing the current volume against a dynamic statistical reference window for each selected timeframe. Detection can be based on statistical percentiles (80th, 90th, or 95th percentile) or the highest volume within the selected window, allowing the indicator to adapt to different assets and trading styles.
The indicator continuously monitors both intraday and higher timeframes — from 5 minutes up to 6 months — searching for simultaneous abnormal volume events. The greater the number of timeframes aligned at the same moment, the more significant the market event is considered.
Main features include:
* Automatic abnormal volume detection using dynamic statistical thresholds;
* True multi-timeframe volume analysis;
* Cross-timeframe confluence system;
* Progressive visual highlighting based on signal strength;
* Automatic candle and background coloring;
* Informative labels displaying active aligned timeframes;
* Visual identification of strong and extreme signals;
* Fully customizable settings.
The main purpose of this indicator is to help traders identify moments when the market is experiencing unusually high participation, often associated with:
* institutional activity;
* important breakouts;
* major reversals;
* liquidity zones;
* market traps;
* volatility expansion;
* trend initiation or exhaustion.
The higher the confluence between timeframes, the greater the probability that the candle represents a meaningful flow event within the market.
