Volume Spike Indicator

5 時間前

The Volume Spike Indicator is designed to identify significant volume spikes in the market. This tool helps traders recognize unusual trading activity, which may indicate potential reversals, breakouts, or increased volatility. The indicator uses a simple moving average (SMA) of volume over a specified period and highlights bars where the current volume exceeds a multiple of this average.

Features:

1. Volume SMA Calculation:
   The indicator calculates the SMA of volume over a customizable period (default: 20 bars).
   
   
2. Spike Multiplier:
   A threshold multiplier (default: 4) determines what qualifies as a "spike."
   Spikes occur when the current volume is greater than the SMA multiplied by this threshold.
   
   
3. Visual Alerts:
   If a spike is detected, a red cross (Cross) and X-shape (X-Cross) are plotted above the corresponding bar for easy identification.
   

How to Use:
