RVOL Buy/Sell Unusual Volume Spike Alert
This indicator is designed for lower time frames and works especially well for scalping and intraday trading. It detects unusual spikes in relative volume (RVOL) compared to the average trading volume and highlights potential bullish or bearish momentum candles.
When a candle closes with significantly higher-than-average volume:
Green candles indicate strong buying pressure
Red candles indicate strong selling pressure
You can customize the RVOL threshold based on your trading style and market conditions.
Recommended RVOL Settings:
Fast Scalping → 1.5 RVOL
Intraday Momentum Trading → 2.0 RVOL
High Conviction Breakouts → 3.0+ RVOL
This indicator is most effective for:
Momentum trading
Breakout confirmation
Detecting institutional activity
Identifying high-volume reversals
VWAP and trend continuation setups
