Volume Delta + CVD
Who is actually in control of this session? Delta, cumulative delta and a color engine.
Own pane (plus optional bar coloring) · Intraday, 1m to 1h · Liquid futures, stocks and ETFs
What it shows
- A delta histogram: net buying versus selling volume per bar, from lower-timeframe data.
- A cumulative delta (CVD) line, session-anchored or continuous.
- A momentum read on the CVD with pressure zones, and an optional engine that tints your chart's candles by that read.
How it reads the market
Price can drift up on no participation; delta shows whether buyers actually paid up. When price makes a new high and the CVD does not, the move is thin. The color engine puts that read on the candles themselves so divergence is visible without staring at the pane.
