Volume Bubbles
Bubbles
The Big Trades Indicator is a cutting-edge tool that allows you to easily identify significant trades on your chart. Whenever a big trade takes place, our indicator will draw a bubble around the corresponding location to highlight its position. This feature makes it incredibly easy to spot the most important trades at a glance.
But that's not all - the size of the bubble will vary based on the volume of the trade. This means that the bigger the trade, the bigger the bubble. This feature provides you with valuable insights into the relative size of trades, enabling you to quickly assess which trades are most significant.
Additionally, the bubbles update in real-time, providing you with up-to-the-minute information on the latest trades. This feature is particularly valuable for traders who rely on quick decision-making and need to stay informed about market movements in real-time.
Heatmap
With our Big Trades Indicator, you have complete control over how the bubbles appear on your chart. You can choose to color them using a single mono color, or you can select the "heatmap" option to reflect the volume size of the trade.
When you choose the heatmap option, the color and size of the bubble will both indicate the volume of the trade.
For instance, lighter blue shades will indicate lower volumes, while brighter reds will indicate larger trades. Of course, you can customize the colors to your liking, giving you even more flexibility and control over your trading experience.
This feature is particularly useful for traders who rely on visual cues to quickly and easily assess market trends and identify significant trades. By customizing the colors and sizes of the bubbles to match your preferred trading style, you can optimize your decision-making and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.
Scaling
The Big Trades Indicator offers a variety of customizable options, including color and bubble scaling. As we mentioned earlier, the size and color of the bubbles depend on the volume of the trades, but you get to choose what to use as a reference.
For example, you can select "Chart" mode, which means that the indicator will only consider the candles currently visible on your chart. In this mode, all bubbles will be scaled based on the volume of the candles that are currently visible.
Alternatively, you can choose "Session" mode, which will consider all the candles in the entire trading session. In this mode, the size of the bubbles will be scaled based on the volume traded during the entire session.
Finally, you can also select "All" mode, in which case the size of each bubble will be calculated based on all the bars that are loaded on your chart.
These scaling options allow you to customize the indicator to your specific trading needs, providing you with valuable insights into market movements and trends. Whether you're a price action trader, a momentum trader, or an order flow trader, our Big Trades Indicator can help you optimize your decision-making and stay ahead of the curve.
Big trades zones
With our Big Trades Indicator, you get more than just insights into where the institutional traders are placing big orders. You also get the added benefit of automatically drawn zones that can act as magnets for price action.
Each time the indicator detects a big trade, it will draw a zone around that area. These zones can be invaluable in helping you anticipate future price movements. Often, when price returns to these zones, we see price reacting to the big trades that were placed there previously.
This is because these big trade zones represent areas of significant market activity, where large players are making significant moves. As a result, they can be key levels of support and resistance, providing important information about where the market is likely to go next.
By automatically drawing these zones, our Big Trades Indicator provides you with an invaluable tool for understanding market trends and predicting future movements. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced trader, you'll appreciate the added clarity and insights that our indicator provides.
Alerts
Get alerts when big trades happen
The Big Trades Indicator has the ability to generate alerts when it detects big trades happening in real-time, allowing traders to stay informed without having to watch the screen all day.
With this feature, traders can set their own custom thresholds for what constitutes a "big trade" and receive notifications whenever one occurs. This frees them up to focus on other important tasks, knowing that they will be alerted when it's time to take action.
