Visualizing Estimated Buy and Sell Volume Pressure

Summary

This indicator combines estimated buy and sell volume measures with a decorative vial and helix display. Its inputs allow the user to choose a visible-range or custom lookback window for the buy/sell pressure calculation, adjust bubble colors, and toggle signal labels. The script also plots aggregate buy volume, sell volume, total volume, their respective percentages, and an overall score. These measures are represented visually by bubbles and other chart artwork, with controls for positioning and appearance.

The document provides configuration details and source-code fragments, but the calculation and signal logic are not fully visible in the supplied text. It gives no backtest, validation, or evidence that the pressure measures predict subsequent returns. Volume-based pressure should therefore be treated as an indicator estimate whose meaning depends on the underlying calculation and data, not as confirmed buyer-initiated versus seller-initiated trading or a standalone entry rule. The extensive styling controls affect the presentation and do not, by themselves, establish analytical value.

Key ideas

• The indicator displays estimated buy volume, sell volume, total volume, and corresponding percentages.
• Buy/sell pressure can be calculated over a visible chart range or a user-selected lookback.
• Bubble colors, signal labels, and the vial visualization have configurable display settings.
• The supplied document omits parts of the calculation and signal logic, limiting independent assessment.
• No validation results are provided, so the plotted pressure measures do not establish predictive value.
