Volume with EMA
- Indicators
- Version: 1.0
- Activations: 5
Volume with EMA is a professional volume indicator for MetaTrader 5 that displays tick volume with a configurable Exponential Moving Average (EMA) overlay. The indicator enhances volume analysis by color-coding bars based on candle direction and their position relative to the EMA, providing traders with clear visual cues for volume strength and market momentum.
Key Features:
- Volume Histogram with Candle-Matched Colors — Volume bars are color-coded based on candle direction (bullish/bearish), making it easy to correlate volume with price action
- Configurable EMA Overlay — A 20-period EMA (customizable) helps identify volume trends and deviations from average activity
- Four-Color Mode — When EMA-based coloring is enabled, volume bars use distinct colors for bullish/bearish candles above or below the EMA, highlighting unusually high volume activity
- Flexible Display Options — EMA line and EMA-based coloring can be independently enabled or disabled to suit different analysis styles
- Clean Visual Design — Volume bars start from the bottom of the indicator window with hidden data values on the right side for a cleaner chart appearance
- Fully Customizable Colors — All four volume colors and the EMA line color can be personalized through input parameters
This indicator is ideal for traders who use volume analysis to confirm trends, identify potential reversals, and spot high-volume breakout opportunities.
Input Parameters
- Enable EMA — Enables or disables the EMA line overlay on the volume histogram. When disabled, the EMA line is hidden but EMA-based coloring logic remains available.
- Enable EMA Coloring — When enabled, volume bars above the EMA use alternate colors (BullishAboveEMA/BearishAboveEMA) to highlight above-average volume. When disabled, all bars use standard bullish/bearish colors regardless of EMA position.
- EMA Period — The period for the Exponential Moving Average calculation. Higher values produce a smoother EMA that reacts slower to volume changes. Lower values produce a more responsive EMA.
- EMA Color — The color of the EMA line displayed on the indicator. Only visible when EnableEMA is set to true.
- Bullish Color — The color for volume bars on bullish candles (close ≥ open) when volume is below the EMA or when EMA-based coloring is disabled.
- Bearish Color — The color for volume bars on bearish candles (close < open) when volume is below the EMA or when EMA-based coloring is disabled.
- Bullish Above EMA — The color for volume bars on bullish candles when volume exceeds the EMA and EMA-based coloring is enabled. Highlights strong bullish volume.
- Bearish Above EMA — The color for volume bars on bearish candles when volume exceeds the EMA and EMA-based coloring is enabled. Highlights strong bearish volume.
