CVD Delta Divergence [JOAT]
CVD DELTA DIVERGENCE [JOAT]
A full-featured Cumulative Volume Delta engine with proper pivot-based divergence detection. CVD on its own is one of the cleanest reads of net flow you can produce without L2 data — but the value of CVD lives almost entirely in its divergence with price. CVD Delta Divergence builds the CVD properly (with footprint-API or reconstructed-tick options), then runs a strict pivot-vs-pivot divergence engine on top of it, with strength scoring and configurable cooldown.
Three data-source modes
CVD is only as good as the delta classification underneath it. Three modes are exposed:
This is unusual — most public CVD scripts hardcode one method. Auto-mode means the script works correctly on any instrument that has either dataset, without per-instrument configuration.
Four CVD anchors
Cumulative deltas need an anchor — running a sum from inception of data is rarely meaningful. Four anchoring modes:
Pivot-based divergence engine (the headline)
Slope-comparison divergence is noisy. CVD Delta Divergence uses proper pivots:
Four divergence classes are detected:
Divergence markers can be force-overlaid onto the main chart pane (toggleable) so you see them on price without flipping panes.
Visual system
A locked Lava palette (gold bull / orange-red bear / oxblood mid on a deep lava-black ground) gives the pane a distinctive flow-read identity.

How to read it
Three reads, in order of conviction:
Suggested settings
Defaults are tuned for 5m–1H charts on liquid markets in Session Reset mode. For lower timeframes, drop pivot lookback to 3 and divergence window to 30. For higher timeframes, raise pivot lookback to 7–10 and switch anchor to Day Reset. The minimum strength threshold (15) is intentionally loose; raise to 25–30 if you want only the strongest divergences.
Originality / what's reused
CVD (cumulative volume delta) is public-domain market-structure language; the tick rule is standard. The implementation — the Auto/Footprint/Reconstructed source switch, the four-anchor reset logic, the pivot-based divergence engine with strict HL/LL gating and minimum-strength filter, the slope-coloured CVD with histogram backdrop, the force-overlay divergence markers, and the cooldown-per-class state machine — is JOAT-original and tuned together. No third-party code reused.
Open source
Published open-source under the default Mozilla Public License 2.0. The source is sectioned, every input has a tooltip, every helper is documented inline. The CVD engine, the source-mode router, the pivot logic, and the divergence engine are independent modules — adapt any single piece without reading the whole file.
Limitations
Reconstructed CVD is a proxy — the tick rule is the accepted public-market inference but it is not a direct read of bid vs ask volume. Footprint mode requires the TradingView Footprint dataset and is unavailable on some instruments. Pivot divergences are non-repainting once confirmed (they lag by the pivot's right-lookback) but the divergence between two pivots cannot fire until both are confirmed — so the second pivot's lag is the structural lag of the signal.

CVD Delta Divergence builds the CVD properly (with footprint-API or reconstructed-tick options), then runs a strict pivot-vs-pivot divergence engine on top of it, with strength scoring and configurable cooldown.
Three data-source modes
CVD is only as good as the delta classification underneath it. Three modes are exposed:
- Footprint API — uses TradingView's Footprint dataset when the instrument supports it. The cleanest read, equivalent to professional delta feeds.
- Reconstructed — when Footprint is unavailable, reconstructs buy/sell from a configurable lower-timeframe stream (1m / 3m / 5m / 15m / 30m) using the standard tick rule. Optional intrabar volume weighting.
- Auto — picks Footprint when present, falls back to Reconstructed. The recommended default.
This is unusual — most public CVD scripts hardcode one method. Auto-mode means the script works correctly on any instrument that has either dataset, without per-instrument configuration.
Four CVD anchors
Cumulative deltas need an anchor — running a sum from inception of data is rarely meaningful. Four anchoring modes:
- Cumulative — never resets. Maximum context, slowest divergence detection.
- Session Reset (default) — anchors at the start of each trading session. The most useful read for day-trading reference.
- Day Reset — anchors at midnight exchange time.
- Week Reset — anchors at week boundary. Good for swing-frame divergences.
Pivot-based divergence engine (the headline)
Slope-comparison divergence is noisy. CVD Delta Divergence uses proper pivots:
- ta.pivothigh / ta.pivotlow on price with a configurable lookback (default 5 bars left/right).
- At each confirmed pivot, the corresponding CVD value is recorded.
- A divergence is built only when two price pivots and their CVD readings disagree directionally.
- A minimum-strength filter (default 15.0 on a 0–100 scale) suppresses weak signals — strength is the normalised disagreement magnitude between the price-pivot motion and the CVD-pivot motion.
- A strict HL/LL toggle requires the second pivot to strictly exceed/undershoot the first by a small fraction so equal-pivot edge cases do not produce noise divergences.
- A cooldown per divergence class (default 3 bars) prevents back-to-back fires of the same class.
Four divergence classes are detected:
- Regular Bull — price lower-low, CVD higher-low. Reversal up.
- Regular Bear — price higher-high, CVD lower-high. Reversal down.
- Hidden Bull — price higher-low, CVD lower-low. Trend continuation up.
- Hidden Bear — price lower-high, CVD higher-high. Trend continuation down.
Divergence markers can be force-overlaid onto the main chart pane (toggleable) so you see them on price without flipping panes.
Visual system
- Slope-coloured CVD line — bull / bear gradient based on the CVD's own short-term slope (configurable window).
- Smoothed CVD overlay — toggleable EMA-smoothed CVD on top of the raw line. Useful for cutting through noisy 1m reconstructions.
- Delta histogram — bar-by-bar delta as columns behind the CVD line. Useful for seeing per-bar flow vs cumulative flow.
- Zero line and crossover alerts.
- Divergence connecting lines — when a divergence fires, a connector line is drawn between the two pivots for visual proof.
A locked Lava palette (gold bull / orange-red bear / oxblood mid on a deep lava-black ground) gives the pane a distinctive flow-read identity.

- CVD slope direction (Rising / Falling / Flat).
- Active anchor mode.
- Last divergence class with bar age.
- Source mode in use (Footprint / Reconstructed).
- Zero-cross status with bars-ago.
Alerts
Six alert conditions, each independently controllable:
- Regular Bull Divergence
- Regular Bear Divergence
- Hidden Bull Divergence
- Hidden Bear Divergence
- CVD Crosses Zero
- CVD Slope Flips
How to read it
Three reads, in order of conviction:
- Regular divergence — the classic reversal read. Price made a new extreme, CVD did not. The flow that was needed to extend the move did not show up. A regular divergence at a known structural level is one of the highest-conviction reversal setups in tape reading.
- Hidden divergence — the trend-continuation read. Price retraced, but CVD did not. The flow is still committed in the original direction even though price wavered. Often produces clean re-entry signals in trends.
- CVD zero-cross + slope flip — the regime change read. Cumulative flow has rotated sides — what was net-buying is now net-selling (or vice versa). Useful as a "the tape has flipped" notification.
Suggested settings
Defaults are tuned for 5m–1H charts on liquid markets in Session Reset mode. For lower timeframes, drop pivot lookback to 3 and divergence window to 30. For higher timeframes, raise pivot lookback to 7–10 and switch anchor to Day Reset.
