Multi-Frame Volume Story
Advanced multi-timeframe volume analyzer that displays volume patterns across 5+ timeframes simultaneously—revealing when institutional traders are accumulating, distributing, or absent from the market.
What It Does
The Multi-Frame Volume Story solves a critical problem: volume on a single timeframe does not tell the full story. Institutions operate across multiple timeframes, so you need to see if volume is confirming or diverging across 1-min, 5-min, 15-min, 1H, 4H, and Daily charts.
This indicator displays all timeframe volumes in a stacked panel, color-coded by strength. When all timeframes show high volume, it signals strong institutional interest. When only lower timeframes show volume, it is retail noise—avoid those moves.

How to Use This Indicator
1. Look for Multi-Timeframe Confirmation
When all timeframes (especially 4H and Daily) show high volume, institutions are active—these are your highest-probability setups.
2. Avoid Lower Timeframe-Only Volume
If only 1-min or 5-min shows high volume but higher timeframes are quiet, it is retail noise—avoid trading those moves.
3. Spot Volume Divergences
When price makes a new high but volume across timeframes is declining, it signals weakness—expect reversals.
4. Confirm Breakouts with Volume
Only trade breakouts when all timeframes show increasing volume—this confirms institutional participation.
