OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Move Strength Index
Overview
An accurate relative-volume indicator with a genuinely clear signal:
column height shows the relative-volume multiple, color intensity
separately highlights which of those bars are actually unusual for that
specific symbol, and a distinct compression color flags the specific
case where heavy volume produces almost no range — a classic
effort-without-result signature that often precedes a sharp move.
How it's calculated
Relative volume is current volume divided by a smoothed (RMA) average of
the *prior* bars — the still-forming bar is excluded from its own
baseline (a common flaw in naive relative-volume scripts, which quietly
dampens real spikes), and the smoothed baseline decays gradually rather
than using a fixed rolling window, avoiding the "step" artifact that
occurs when an old outlier bar abruptly exits a fixed-length SMA window.
Color intensity is driven by the bar's percentile rank against its own
trailing history (default 100 bars), not a fixed multiple — a fixed
brightness cutoff only produces contrast if the symbol regularly reaches
that multiple, whereas percentile rank self-calibrates so the loudest
days for any given symbol are always vivid and quiet days are always
dim.
Direction is close vs. open — the same test used to color the candles on
the price chart itself, so MSI's green/red always agrees with what the
candle next to it shows.
A bar is recolored yellow (compression) when its volume ranks high
(top percentile, same threshold used for alerts) but its high-low range
is unusually narrow relative to ATR — heavy participation that isn't
moving price, which typically means one side is being absorbed at that
level. The live, still-forming bar is dimmed by default, since its
partial volume will always understate true relative volume until the
bar closes.
How to use it
Column height is the relative-volume multiple directly — a bar at 2.0
traded at twice its recent baseline volume. Brightness tells you whether
that reading is actually unusual for this symbol; a tall but dull column
means the symbol just runs volatile volume normally, while a vivid
column is a genuine standout. Green/red tells you which side controlled
the bar. A yellow bar is the one to watch closely — high volume with
nothing to show for it in price, often the setup before a breakout or
breakdown. Alerts fire separately for strong buying, strong selling, and
compression. On a symbol with no real volume data, the script raises a
clear error instead of rendering a blank pane.
