HVC Level Sentinel v6 — High Volume Candle Levels
HVC Level Sentinel v6 automatically detects and highlights “High Volume Candles” (HVCs) — bars with the highest trading volume in a rolling, user-defined window (e.g., 30 days). This tool helps you spot key price levels where significant trading activity occurred, which can act as important support or resistance zones.
Features
Customizable Lookback: Choose how many bars to look back for HVC detection (default: 30 days, adjustable).
Automatic Highlighting: HVC candles are highlighted on your chart with a customizable color.
Level Lines: Draws horizontal lines at the Open, High, Low, and Close of each recent HVC, so you can easily track these key levels.
Line Fading: Only the most recent N HVCs (user-adjustable) have lines, with older lines fading out or disappearing for clarity.
Per-Line Control: Turn on/off Open, High, Low, and Close lines individually in the settings.
Fully Customizable: Adjust colors, line styles, widths, and opacity to fit your chart style.
How It Works
On each new bar, the script checks if the current bar’s volume is the highest in the last N bars.
If so, it marks the bar as an HVC and draws lines at its O/H/L/C (if enabled).
You can highlight all HVCs historically, but only the most recent N will have lines for a clean, focused chart.
Use Cases
Identify major breakout or reversal points driven by high volume.
Track where institutional or “smart money” activity may have occurred.
Use HVC levels as dynamic support/resistance for entries, exits, or stop placement.
Tip :
Adjust the lookback window and number of HVCs with lines to match your trading style—shorter for active trading, longer for swing/position trading.

Earnings Gap UpsBased on research conducted by John Pocorobba and Jason Thompson, the Earnings Gap Ups Indicator is designed to identify three types of earnings gaps, key levels, and the "alpha window"—a period when stocks often outperform following a gap. These gaps are frequently observed in high-performing stocks.
What is an Earnings Gap?
An earnings gap occurs when a stock's price makes a significant jump, after the company reports earnings signifying the street (institutions) were caught off guard.
The three different types of gaps are as follows: [/b
PEG (Power Earnings Gap)
Price gain of 10% or more
Volume is greater than 200% above the 50-day average
EPS surprise of at least 20%
Monster Gap
Price gain of 20% or more
Volume is greater than 300% above the 50-day average
No fundamental requirement
Monster Peg
Price Gain of 20% or more
Volume is greater than 300% above the 50-day average
EPS surprise of at least 20%
Key Levels and the Alpha Window
In addition to spotting these gaps, the indicator marks key levels on the chart and extends them through the alpha window, which represents the time period when the stock tends to outperform after the gap.
Key levels include:
High volume close: The closing price on a day with unusually high trading volume
High volume close minus 5%: A potential support level below the high volume close
Gap day high: The highest price reached on the gap day
Gap day low: The lowest price reached on the gap day
By understanding and tracking these gaps and levels, traders can map out a playbook for trading earnings gaps.
[TTI] High Volume Close (HVC) Setup📜 ––––HISTORY & CREDITS––––
The High Volume Close (HVC) Setup is a specialised indicator designed for the TradingView platform used to identify specific bar. This tool was developed with the objective of identifying a technical pattern that trades have claimed is significant trading opportunities through a unique blend of volume analysis and price action strategies. It is based on the premise that high-volume bars, when combined with specific price action criteria, can signal key market movements.
The HVC is applicable both for swing and longer term trading and as a technical tool it can be used by traders of any asset type (stocks, ETF, crypto, forex etc).
🦄 –––UNIQUENESS–––
The uniqueness of the HVC Setup lies in its flexibility to determine an important price level based on historically important bar. The idea is to identify significant bars (e.g. those who have created the HIGHEST VOLUME: Ever, Yearly, Quarterly and meet additional criteria from the settings) and plot on the chart the close on that day as a significant level as well as theoretical stop loss and target levels. This approach allows traders to discern high volume bars that are contextually significant — a method not commonly found in standard trading tools.
🎯 ––––WHAT IT DOES––––
The HVC Setup indicator performs a series of calculations to identify high volume close bars/bar (HVC bars) based on the user requirements.
These bars are determined based on the highest volume recorded within a user-inputs:
👉 Period (Ever, Yearly, Quarterly) and must meet additional criteria such as:
👉 a minimum percentage Price Change (change is calculated based on a close/close) and
👉 specific Closing Range requirements for the HVC da.
The theory is that this is a significant bar that is important to know where it is on the chart.
The script includes a comparative analysis of the HVC bar's price against historical price highs (all-time, yearly, quarterly), which provides further context and significance to the identified bars. All of these USER input requirement are then taken into account as a condition to identity the High Volume Close Bar (HVC).
The visual representation includes color-coded bar (default is yellow) and lines to delineate these key trading signals. It then draws a blue line for the place where the close ofthe bar is, a red line that would signify a stop loss and 2 target profit levels equal to 2R and 3R of the risked level (close-stop loss). Additional lines can be turned on/off with their coresponding checkboxes in the settings.
If the user chooses "Ever" for Period - the script will look at the first available bar ever in Tradingview - this is generally the IPO bar;
If the users chooses "Yearly" - the script would look at the highest available bar for a completed year;
If the users chooses "Quarterly" - it would do the same for the quarter. (works on daily timeframe only);
While we have not backtested the performance of the script, this methodology has been widely publicised.
🛠️ ––––HOW TO USE IT––––
To utilize the HVC Setup effectively:
👉Customize Input Settings: Choose the HVC period, percentage change threshold, closing range, stop loss distance, and target multiples according to your trading strategy. Use the tick boxes to enable and disable if a given condition is used within the calculation.
👉Identify HVC Bars: The script highlights HVC bars, indicating potential opportunities based on volume and price action analysis.
👉Interpret Targets and Stop Losses: Use the color-coded lines (green for targets, red for stop losses) to guide your trade entries and exits.
👉Contextual Analysis: Always consider the HVC bar signals in conjunction with overall market trends and additional technical indicators for comprehensive trading decisions.
This script is designed to assist traders in identifying high-potential trading setups by using a combination of volume and price analysis, enhancing traditional methods with a unique, algorithmically driven approach.
