Indicator Name: ClusterDelta_#Volumes_Colored
This volume indicator provides information on the total traded volumes for each bar using specific color set that is know as "Pink Volumes".
Big volumes spike in market activity supposes the end of the current trend. An additional price rally (breakout of the previous peak) on smaller volumes can be a sign of a reversal, which visually can look like a divergence of price peaks and peaks of the volume histogram. This describes one of the options for how to use the indicator, but this is not the only description of using the volume indicator. Use it with VSA patterns as well.
This modification made an upon request of the traders group to implement "Pink Volumes" feature. If the Pink_Bar value is greater than zero, the indicator checks the following criteria: the size of the current volume should not be higher than the previous Pink_Bar bars. If the condition is met, the current volume bar is considered as the Pink bar, otherwise the bar is colored in a color depending on the type of price candle (bearish / bullish)
If you set the Pink_Bar value equal to zero, then all bars will be colored only by the type of price candle (bearish / bullish)
In the settings it is possible to adjust the length of the history in days, which allows you to make backtests on historical data merged together for more than 2 years. It is also possible to load history with one click (by the "Load More History" button), which is located in the place where the loading of the previous period of historical data ended.
