Volume & money flow

The number of shares (or contracts) traded during a given period — used to judge whether a price move has real participation behind it or is likely to fade.

A running total that adds the period's volume when price closes up and subtracts it when price closes down, showing whether volume is flowing into or out of a security ahead of price confirming the move.

A volume-weighted line based on where the close falls within the day's high-low range, meant to show whether a security is being accumulated (bought) or distributed (sold) over time.

Averages the Accumulation/Distribution concept over a set period into a single oscillator, showing sustained buying or selling pressure rather than one day's reading.

The MACD of the Accumulation/Distribution line — the difference between a fast and slow EMA of A/D — used to spot momentum shifts in volume flow.

Multiplies the change in price by volume for a period, combining how much price moved with how much volume backed the move into one reading of buying/selling force.

A smoothed (typically EMA-averaged) version of the Force Index, reducing noise while still capturing the combined price-and-volume force behind a move.

A running cumulative total similar to OBV, but weighted by the percentage price change each period rather than adding or subtracting full volume — so large price moves count more.

Tracks cumulative price changes only on days when volume falls versus the prior day, based on the idea that informed “smart money” trading tends to happen on quieter, lower-volume days.

A volume-weighted version of RSI, combining price and volume into a 0–100 reading of buying/selling pressure — often called the “volume RSI.”

Not to be confused with the Money Flow Index above — this divides the period's price range by its volume, gauging how efficiently the market is moving price per unit of volume traded.

A momentum-style line related to price and volume, built with a different formula than Chaikin's A/D, used similarly to spot divergence between price and underlying accumulation or distribution.

A histogram, drawn sideways on the price axis, showing how much volume traded at each price level over a chosen period — useful for spotting where the most trading activity (and likely support/resistance) has occurred.

A Volume Profile calculated separately for each individual trading session, rather than pooled across many days.

A Volume Profile calculated only from the price bars currently visible on the chart, updating as you scroll or zoom.

The average price for the period, weighted by volume at each price level, so high-volume trades count more. Traders compare price to VWAP to judge whether they're paying above or below the “fair” average for the session.

A VWAP that automatically resets from a significant reference point — like the start of a session or a major swing high/low — instead of a manually chosen start time.
