The Net Volume Indicator in TradingView is a technical analysis tool that helps traders understand the balance of buying and selling pressure in the market. It displays the difference between the volume of buy orders and sell orders during a specific period.
Understanding Net Volume
- Positive Net Volume: When the volume of buy orders exceeds the volume of sell orders, the indicator shows a positive value, indicating strong buying pressure.
- Negative Net Volume: Conversely, when the volume of sell orders is higher than buy orders, the indicator shows a negative value, suggesting strong selling pressure.
- Zero Net Volume: A zero value indicates an equal balance between buying and selling pressure.
How to Use Net Volume Indicator
The Net Volume Indicator can be used in various ways to support trading decisions:
- Identifying Trends: A consistently positive Net Volume can confirm an uptrend, while a consistently negative Net Volume can confirm a downtrend.
- Confirming Breakouts: A surge in positive Net Volume during a breakout can indicate strong buying pressure and increase the likelihood of a successful breakout.
- Spotting Divergences: When the Net Volume indicator diverges from the price action, it can signal a potential reversal of the current trend.
Examples
- Positive Net Volume: If the price of a stock is rising, and the Net Volume indicator shows a positive value, it indicates that buyers are actively driving the price higher.
- Negative Net Volume: If the price of a stock is falling, and the Net Volume indicator shows a negative value, it indicates that sellers are actively driving the price lower.
