Volume Spread Analysis Signals and Chart Features
Summary
The document outlines a charting tool for Volume Spread Analysis (VSA). It describes coloring price bars by interpreted volume context: green for signs of strength, red for signs of weakness, blue for equilibrium bars, and yellow for price patterns without volume extremes. It also proposes trend dots that adjust like a trailing indicator, plus hover labels that show bar time, volume relative to an average, spread, and an expected reaction. A side panel names the patterns, while separate volume and spread displays visualize activity in opposite directions.
The described features are interface and signal conventions rather than a complete trading method. The document gives no formula for identifying the patterns, validation results, instrument scope, or rules for entering and exiting trades. It also offers a live-bar forecast of volume and spread relative to a moving average, but does not explain how those projections are calculated or how reliable they are. These signals therefore need independent definition and testing before they can support trading decisions.
Key ideas
- The tool assigns distinct colors to strength, weakness, equilibrium, and price patterns without volume extremes.
- Trailing trend dots are described as changing behavior in response to buying or selling exhaustion.
- Hover labels provide volume, spread, timing, and expected-reaction context for closed bars.
- The document describes chart features but gives no signal formulas or performance evidence.
