Source Code

The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.

Overview

Volume Spike Analysis finds how long ago volume last reached the current level, ranks that gap as a percentile, and measures the spike against the median, average or lowest volume of the bars in between. Bars passing both percentile thresholds are highlighted. Settings are the two thresholds and the reference method.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
