Volume By Side

The Volume by Side indicator on TRDR provides a detailed breakdown of buy and sell volume, helping traders identify market imbalances and divergences.

Functionality

• Splitting Buy & Sell Volume – Buy volume (green) is displayed above the zero line, while sell volume (red) appears below it.

• Total vs Delta – By default, only the difference (delta) between buy and sell volume is shown, but users can enable total volume visualization.

• Trade Categorization by USD Value – Every trade is grouped into categories based on size, allowing for filtered analysis.

Volume Divergences & Market Insights

A volume divergence occurs when trading activity does not align with price movement.

For example:

• If sell volume exceeds buy volume, but the price closes higher, it may indicate hidden buying pressure.

• Conversely, if buy volume dominates, yet the price closes lower, sellers may still be in control.

Custom Divergence Thresholds % – traders can set a minimum volume difference percentage (e.g., 10%) to filter out weak signals and highlight only significant divergences.

Divergence

In the example above we see a volume divergence, positive volume on a red candle.
