Today, we are presenting the Liquidity Spectrum Visualizer, a comprehensive indicator developed by BigBeluga that combines statistical volume analysis with price-level liquidity mapping.
This tool does not just tell you when volume came in; it tells you where the liquidity is sitting and how significant the current activity is compared to historical norms.
The Concept: A Dual-Engine Approach
The power of this indicator lies in its hybrid engine. It processes market data in two distinct dimensions simultaneously: Time and Price.
1. Volume Bubbles (Time Dimension)
Standard volume bars can be noisy. To solve this, the indicator uses a Z-Score approach based on Standard Deviation.
-
It calculates the Standard Deviation of volume over a defined period (default is 200 candles).
-
It normalizes the current volume against that baseline.
-
The Result: Instead of arbitrary bars, you get Bubbles.
-
A small bubble means volume is within the normal deviation.
-
A massive bubble means volume is 3 or 4 standard deviations from the mean—a statistical anomaly indicating a major institutional event.
-
2. Liquidity Spectrum (Price Dimension)
Using the advanced Array functions available in ProBuilder, the indicator constructs a dynamic Volume Profile directly on your chart.
-
It divides the price range of the lookback period into 100 distinct “bins” or price levels.
-
It loops through historical data, assigning volume to specific price levels rather than specific times.
-
This creates a heat map of liquidity, showing you exactly at what price levels the most shares or contracts have changed hands.
Visual Interpretation
Understanding the chart visualizer is intuitive once you know the color coding and shapes:
1. The Bubbles (Market Aggression)
-
Size: Represents the statistical significance of the volume. A bubble size 4 is a rare, high-impact event.
-
Color:
-
Pine Green: The candle closed higher than it opened (Bullish pressure).
-
Pine Orange: The candle closed lower than it opened (Bearish pressure).
-
-
Labels: If a bubble is statistically extreme (Z-Score ≥ 4), the indicator prints the exact volume number on the chart, alerting you to potential exhaustion or breakout initiation.
2. The Liquidity Lines (Support & Resistance)
To keep the chart clean, the Volume Profile is represented by horizontal lines extending from the left. The style of the line indicates the strength of the liquidity wall:
-
Thick Solid Line: High Liquidity (High Volume Node). These are strong support/resistance levels.
-
Medium Line: Moderate liquidity.
-
Dotted Line: Minimal liquidity. These are “thin” zones where price can move through quickly (Low Volume Nodes).
Configuration and Settings
The indicator is designed to be “plug and play,” but it offers key customizable parameters to fit your trading style:
-
lookback(Default: 200): This defines how far back the indicator looks to calculate the Volume Profile and the Standard Deviation. -
showBubbles(1 or 0): Set to 1 to display the Volume Bubbles, or 0 to hide them if you only want the profile. -
showVP(1 or 0): Set to 1 to display the Volume Profile background. -
showLiqLevels(1 or 0): Set to 1 to draw the horizontal support/resistance lines based on liquidity.
Color Customization: The RGB color variables (rUp, gUp, bUp, etc.) are located at the top of the code. You can tweak these numbers to match your specific template (e.g., changing the Pine Green to a bright Neon Green).
