High Volume Spike Reversal Indicator Development

Lastly, maybe someone could code in for Ninja Trader and Tradestation the option to use High Volume based on something like 1.5x or some user defined multiplier of the average X bars of volume...

 

Best,

David

 

Just a quick revision for NT- haven't tested it live, but I think this should do what you want. However, UrmaBlume's work in this area seems considerably more promising....

Hi there all,

 

First of all thanks for this indicator and the work you have put in it.

 

I tried to make a strategy with it but since i am not a programmer i am using the

strategy creator in Ninjatrader, but when i reach the point of choosing what to trigger

a Long or Short, i can't find a way to do it with this indicator.

I know compared to the level of you guys it might be a stupid question,

but i would really appreciate it if a simple entry strategy could be created for this

indicator.

 

Sincerely and thankfully,

 

Isa

Nice work guys, so good to have code to fit the vision. Had an idea to compliment the system being developed. It involves Walter and Bemac's modified fantail volume weighted MA project. I found another application to use the volume sensitive indicator to confirm reversal areas. It involves the two outer fantail lines (shown as white and gray) BOTH exceeding the 14 pip 50ema envelope (yellow) . The red small arrows show when this condition is met, and I mainly pay attention to the first arrow that shows up, as a signal that there is conditions for reversal. These are 5 minute bars on the EUR/USD.

 

Also notice how precise the timing was for the arrows, for the market to be ready to reverse. Also it work well with or without volume spikes. It does not work so well after a long channel breakout. I gives a few false signals now and then, but they do not usually occur with volume spikes. Below is where I posted more on this method and source code with audio alerts and possibly auto trade capacity.

Here is where I explained the complete system that integrates this tool.

Wouldn't recommend using the indicator, but the concepts the indicator are based on are worth looking at. I'd check out material about market profile, market delta, cumulative delta etc. and see if you can find a way to incorporate volume information into your trading. I'm not trading, but I always found the market internals, and volume based information much more helpful than tradional lagging price based indicators.

Looking back at it now, it could be interesting to run scans on stocks with this indicator intraday, combining this with other info, such as stocks that are at 10 day lows, but in an uptrend and near a good support zone correlating with a major moving average.

 

Also, could be interesting to look at how the NYSE TICK is behaving around the spikes. For buy signals, you'd want the NYSE TICK to be showing a divergence, meaning the signal would be showing a less weak TICK than previously even though price moved lower or tested VWAP or previous lows or another type of support area.

Regarding MT4---I am not aware that volume information reported in MT4 is truly accurate or valid. ...Best,

David

 

Nowhere volume is accurate except in futures...at that don’t matter at all.

Volume is activity and that is enough to compare two volume bars relative to each other. The number of volume itself is not important for one broker or in comparison to each other...Every broker will show spike in volume ...What was value of that spike volume is not important at all.

 

Furthermore...there is no guaranty at all for anything in this world. as an individual while trading for example you cannot guaranty to yourself that you will be disciplined 100% all the time....Therefore asking from others guaranty 100% for something especially from market makers is an idiotism and demonstration of insanity.

 

Therefore if somone is willing to create this indicaor for MT4 would be great ....there is no difference for cash/spot forex between MT4 broker /platform or ninja trader broker/platform.

 

Besides Windsor Direct broker provides Futures forex as well , cash forex, stock...etc...all on MT4 platform.

Hi, felt I had to chime in to clarify mistaken information regarding MT4 volume.

 

MT4 volume is not comprehensive (there is a difference) where is davem1979 is correct about volume information being localized to the Forex broker and that Forex broker's Tier 2 liquidity provider (the bank or group of banks that Forex broker's ECN has agreements with).

 

As a heavy user of MT4 myself (around 7 years), I've found that any volume information from MT4 is tick volume, not price or open interest volume. Using volume from MT4 is not comprehensive of the entire Forex mark because volume (and price) information is decentralized amongst the Tier 1 Interbanks and the Tier 2 Bank that your MT4 broker has agreements with. There is no equivalent of a complete "Level 2" for Forex markets because its decentralized.

 

While there have been religious debates between the merits of "tick" volume and "order/price/open interest" volume (call it what you will), that's for another discussion. It is possible to code indicators looking at MT4's tick volume, but its accuracy depends on how big your broker's order book is and if they've got enough users/volatility/critical mass to accurately reflect the Forex market in order for this information to be of use to you.

    • Date: 2nd April 2025.   Market on Edge: Tariff Announcement and Volatility Ahead!   The US economic and employment data continues to deteriorate with the job vacancies figures dropping to a 5-month low. In addition to this, the IMS Manufacturing PMI also fell below expectations. However, both the US Dollar and Gold declined simultaneously following the release of the two figures, an uncommon occurrence in the market. Traders expect a key factor to be today’s ‘liberation day’ where the US will impose tariffs on imports. USDJPY - Traders Await Tariff Confirmation! Traders looking to determine how the USDJPY will look today will find it difficult to determine until the US confirms its tariff plan. Today is the day when Trump previously stated he would finalize and announce his tariff plan. The administration has not yet released the policy, but investors expect it to be the most expansionary in a century. President Trump is due to speak at 20:00 GMT. On HFM's Calendar the speech is stated as "US Liberation Day Tariff Announcement". Currently, analysts are expecting Trump’s Tariff Plan to impose tariffs on the EU, chips and pharmaceuticals later today as well as reciprocal tariffs. Economists have a good idea of how these tariffs may take effect, but reciprocal tariffs are still unspecified. In addition to this, 25% tariffs on the car industry will start tomorrow. The tariffs on the foreign cars industry are a factor which will particularly impact Japan. Although, traders should note that this is what is expected and is not yet finalised. Last week, President Trump stated that he would implement retaliatory tariffs but allow exemptions for certain US trade partners. Treasury Secretary Mr Bessent and National Economic Council Director Mr Hassett suggested that the restrictions would primarily target 15 countries responsible for the bulk of the US trade deficit. However, yesterday, Trump contradicted these statements, asserting that additional duties would be imposed on any country that has implemented similar measures against US products. The day’s volatility will depend on which route the US administration takes. The harshness of the policy will influence both the Japanese Yen as well as the US Dollar.   USDJPY 5-Minute Chart   US Economic and Employment Data The JOLT Job Vacancies figure fell below expectations and is lower than the previous month’s figure. The JOLT Job Vacancies read 7.57 million whereas the average of the past 6 months is 7.78 million. The ISM Manufacturing Index also fell below the key level of 50.00 and was 5 points lower than what analysts were expecting. The data is negative for the US Dollar, particularly as the latest release applies more pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates. However, this is unlikely to happen if the trade policy ignites higher and stickier inflation. In the Bank of Japan’s Governor's latest speech, Mr Ueda said that the tariffs are likely to trigger higher inflation. USDJPY Technical Analysis Currently, the Japanese Yen Index is the worst performing of the day while the US Dollar Index is more or less unchanged. However, this is something traders will continue to monitor as the EU session starts. In the 2-hour timeframe, the USDJPY is trading at the neutral level below the 75-bar EMA and 100-bar SMA. The RSI and MACD is also at the neutral level meaning traders should be open to price movements in either direction. On the smaller timeframes, such as the 5-minute timeframe, there is a slight bias towards a bullish outcome. However, this is only likely if the latest bearish swing does not drop below the 200-Bar SMA.     The key resistant level can be seen at 150.262 and the support level at 149.115. Breakout levels are at 149.988 and 149.674. Key Takeaway Points: Job vacancies hit a five-month low, and the ISM Manufacturing PMI missed expectations, adding pressure on the Federal Reserve regarding interest rate decisions. Traders await confirmation on Trump’s tariff policy, which is expected to impact the EU, chips, pharmaceuticals, and foreign car industries. The severity of the tariffs will influence both the JPY and the USD, with traders waiting for final policy details. The Japanese Yen Index is the worst index of the day while the US Dollar Index is unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
