Pva Volume Professional

See where the money is — on every candle, on every timeframe, at a glance.

PVA Candles Pro paints each candle in the colour of the volume behind it, so the bars where buyers or sellers step in hard light up the instant they print — no more reading price and volume as two separate puzzles. It ships with a complete PVA Volume display you can dock in a subwindow or paint straight onto the chart (drag-to-resize, it remembers its height), plus a drag-and-drop multi-timeframe panel that grades up to six timeframes at once and counts down every bar's close — and it remembers exactly where you parked it, even when you change timeframe. Add Normal or Heiken-Ashi candles, your own colour themes, popup/push/email/sound alerts, and clean EA-ready buffers. One file. Any symbol. Any timeframe. Once a candle closes, its colour is locked — what you see is final.

Everything you get

• Volume-graded candles — every bar coloured by its volume signal (6 states)
• PVA Volume, your way — histogram + MA in a subwindow, or directly on the chart, or both, perfectly in sync
• Drag-to-resize on-chart volume — grab its top edge, set the height, it sticks
• Multi-timeframe panel — grades up to 6 timeframes at once and counts down each bar's close; drag-and-drop, click a row to switch timeframe, and it remembers its position across timeframe changes
• Normal or Heiken-Ashi candles — same volume logic either way
• Alerts on extreme/rising bars — popup, phone push, email, sound
• Themes — Modern, Classic, or fully custom colours
• EA-ready — iCustom buffers, values locked on close
• Single self-contained file — PVA Volume is built in

The candles — what each colour tells you

The loud bars are where reversals, traps and breakouts hide. PVA Candles Pro makes sure you never scroll past one.

PVA Volume — in a subwindow or on your chart

The volume histogram and moving average can live wherever you want it:

• On-chart pane — drawn at the bottom of your main chart window. Drag its top edge to resize; the height is saved per chart.
• Classic subwindow — the traditional separate pane below the price.

Run either, both, or none — and because the candles and the volume display are driven by the same calculation, they always tell the identical story.

Multi-timeframe panel

One draggable on-chart panel that does two jobs at once: it grades the volume on up to six timeframes (M1 to H4 out of the box, fully configurable) and counts down each one's bar close, with a colour flash in the final seconds so you're never caught mid-decision. The chart's own timeframe is marked with a dot, and you can click any row to switch the chart to that timeframe. Park it anywhere — it stays put when you change timeframe or symbol.

Heiken-Ashi mode

One click swaps to smoothed Heiken-Ashi candles while keeping the exact same volume colouring — cleaner trend reads, same insight.

Alerts and themes

Fire on extreme and/or rising volume via popup, phone push, email and sound (your own .wav per class). Choose Modern (dark), Classic (original PVA palette), or Custom and set all six colours yourself.

For automated traders

PVA Candles Pro exposes its read through iCustom. Every value is history-complete and locked once a bar closes, so your EA gets the same numbers on every call — read shift 1 for the last closed bar.

To hook it up, create the handle once in OnInit with iCustom(_Symbol, _Period, "PVA Candles Pro") — passing no parameters uses the indicator's own settings. Then read the latest closed bar with CopyBuffer(handle, 4, 1, 1, array), and array[0] holds the class: 3 means extreme bull, 4 means extreme bear. Prefer flags? Read buffer 7 the same way and treat anything above 0.5 as an extreme-bull bar. Pass the inputs in the order they appear in the settings panel if you'd rather drive it with your own settings.

How it works

PVA Candles Pro goes further than the usual "volume above a single average" colouring. For every bar it weighs the volume against its own recent norm and measures the bar's effort — how much ground price actually covered for the volume committed — then benchmarks that against the most significant bars in a rolling window.

That two-part test is the difference between flagging a bar where real size stepped in and just any busy bar. It's what stops a quiet wide candle, or a frantic narrow one, from fooling the read — and it's why the extreme bars it paints are the ones that actually matter.

You stay in control of the sensitivity: the averaging window, the lookback, and how far above normal counts as "rising" versus "extreme." Set it once for your symbol and style, and it grades every bar on every timeframe in real time.

Settings

PVA classification — Lookback bars for the climax test (higher makes climax bars rarer and stronger), volume MA period and method (SMA / EMA / SMMA / LWMA), the rising and extreme factors (how far above its average volume has to be to count as each), toggles to show or hide the rising and extreme classes, and a use-real-volume switch that falls back to tick volume automatically if the broker provides none.

Display — volume pane on/off and height, subwindow on/off, candle mode (Normal or Heiken-Ashi), hide native candles, candle opacity, "extreme stays solid", pane and subwindow opacity, and MA colour.

Colours — Modern, Classic, or Custom with all six colours exposed.

Alerts — master switch, on-extreme, on-rising, popup / push / email / sound, and your own sound files.

Multi-timeframe panel — show or lock, font and size, panel scale %, colours and opacity, progress bars, pre-close flash and its window, click-to-switch, and the six timeframe slots.
