HOW'S THIS INDICATOR DIFFERENT ?
If you are familiar with my work, then you would know that I am into creating indicators with tons of parameters, almost all of which are left for you to configure. While this gives you an incredible level of customization, the feedback I received was that some of you felt a bit overwhelmed by them.
As such, I decided to create an incredibly simple, yet effective indicator that can give you a better overview of what's going on with the security you are trading/investing in without you needing to tweak a dozen parameters. So, the first and most obvious difference you will notice with Trend Volume RSI Analysis is that you have only 1 parameter to configure (length), one checkbox to tick (highlight buy/sell zones), and one dropdown menu to choose from (the type of analysis). All unnecessary features are stripped away and all calculations are done on the backend. Now let's see if this simplicity affects the efficiency of the indicator.
HOW DOES THE INDICATOR WORK?
1. Trend Analysis
The first type of analysis, selected by default, is the Trend. It shows the balance between bulls and bears and their respective strength. In order to filter out the noise and smooth out the graph, a moving average is applied twice - once from left to right, and once from right to left. Although this causes a minor delay, it is justified since the common moving averages lag is significantly reduced. The screenshot below shows an example of a small bull run on the 1h chart.
The indicator also performs very well in spotting divergences. Two divergences (bearish and bullish respectively) are illustrated in the screenshot below.
2. Volume Analysis
Volume Analysis doesn't just sum the standard volume of the trend. Rather, it calculates the effective volume - the one responsible for moving the price up or down and seeks the relationship between total volume and price movement. Thus, you get a smooth volume trendline that should prevent you from opening a position against the trend. As logic dictates, if the buying volume is growing, then the trendline will go up and it will be in green. If, however, the selling volume is growing, the trendline will decline and it will be in red. This analysis is better used on a bigger time frame, such as on a 4h chart.
Note: For those of you who have used my other indicator Multi Time Frame Effective Volume Profile, the formula used here is slightly different. The one used there is optimized for volume bars, while the modifications here deliver a slightly better trendline with less noise.
3. RSI Analysis
Contrary to the standard RSI which derives its results from price movement, this RSI is calculated based on the modified volume. So it's fair to say that it's a Volume RSI. This makes it a bit jerkier, almost something in between an RSI and Stochastics. However, it is much better in identifying divergences and will quickly indicate potential trends as it will start climbing up sooner. The screenshot below is on a 4h chart, but that's only because I want to show more examples. It works equally well on the 1h or even on a minute chart.
In the first example, the divergence is pretty obvious on all three indicators. However, in example 2 you would be able to spot it only on Trend Volume RSI Analysis and somewhat in Stochastics. RSI makes a double bottom there. Similar is the case with example 3, where this indicator is long gone on the way up in comparison to the other two. The difference in reaction comes from the supply and demand relationship, not just from the price movement. When bears are losing steam, the indicator detects this as a low supply level, thus printing the divergence or even climbing up to indicate the start of a new mini-trend.
I must note, however, that this part of the indicator must be used in accordance with the main trend (this is where the other two analyses come into play). You go long on a pullback when there's an established bull trend and you go short on a pullback when there's an established bear trend.
4. Additional Settings
I know, for an indicator with just one parameter this description is getting pretty long. There's only one thing left to cover - highlighting the buy/sell zones. It is fairly simple - when it's ON, the zones where bulls are stronger than bears will be highlighted in green. When the opposite is true, the background will be red. You can switch it OFF if it intervenes with your analysis, but I prefer having it as it shows a confluence of bull/bear force and the indicator itself. Here's an example below:
HOW MUCH DOES THIS INDICATOR COST ?
Although Trend Volume RSI Analysis may look like an incredibly simple indicator, I can assure you that a great deal of time, testing, and optimizing have gone into creating an indicator that does almost everything for you. The initial version was much more complex and a few dozen iterations were required to reach that level of simplicity and practicality. Furthermore, I will continue to update this indicator as well as introduce user-requested features if they will improve its overall performance.

Disclaimer: The purpose of all indicators is to indicate potential setups, which may lead to profitable results. No indicator is perfect and certainly, no indicator has a 100% success rate. They are subject to flaws, wrongful interpretation, bugs, etc. This indicator makes no exception. It must be used with a sound money management plan that puts the main emphasis on protecting your capital. Please, do not rely solely on any single indicator to make trading decisions instead of you. Indicators are storytellers, not fortune tellers. They help you see the bigger picture, not the future.
