Volume Profile With Buy & Sell Pressure is a free TradingView indicator that colors each volume bar by DMI directional pressure. Green means buyers are dominant, red means sellers, blue means balanced. A real-time label on the right side of the chart updates as each bar develops. Works on all markets and timeframes.
WHAT IT DOES
A volume profile indicator that colors each bar by DMI buy/sell pressure with a real-time label showing you who’s in control on every bar without having to analyze the raw data.
Each volume bar and its background are colored based on the difference between buying and selling pressure using the Directional Movement Index (DMI). Green means more market buying than selling on that bar. Red means more market selling than buying. Blue means an equal amount of buying and selling. This turns standard volume into an actionable read on directional pressure.
A label on the right side of the chart tells you whether there is more buying or selling on the current bar. It updates in real time and changes color in sync with the volume bars. Green for buying, red for selling, blue for neutral. This lets you get a quick interpretation of the current pressure without looking at the volume bars directly.
The buy/sell label can be turned on or off in the settings for better viewing on the mobile app or for a cleaner display.
INTERPRETATION GUIDE
Look for sequences of green bars on increasing volume for strong bullish momentum. Look for sequences of red bars on increasing volume for strong bearish momentum. When bars alternate between green and red with low volume, the market is choppy and undecided, wait for a clear direction before entering.
