Indicator Name: ClusterDelta_#Volumes_Alert
The volume indicator provides information on the total traded volumes for each bar. Volumes information provides the real situation of market trading by showing areas of increased demand for a market instrument.
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.
The volume indicator uses libraries, which makes it possible to download data in the background, as well as receive data online without delay, with instant drawing on the chart. In addition, 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.
