Volume X-Ray Premium is an order flow indicator for TradingView from supersmart.money. It reads each bar's volume footprint to show buy and sell volume, delta, point of control and excess, adds anchored delta and delta divergence to the Volume X-Ray participation engine, grades footprint quality on every bar and requires a TradingView Premium plan or higher.
High volume tells you the market is busy — not who was hitting it, or where in the bar the volume traded. Candle colour is not buyer dominance. Footprint data answers those questions, but its detail thins out as bars age, and a reading that treats every historical bar the same looks as certain on a bar from months ago as on today's.
Volume X-Ray Premium reads TradingView volume footprints bar by bar and grades them before using them. With full detail, delta drives the reading; where detail thins — deep history, coarse intrabars — the indicator blends smoothly into a candle-based estimate and says so in the header: FP, FP~ or EST. Delta is measured against the instrument's own typical delta, so gold, the Nasdaq 100 and bitcoin read on one scale. Everything is decided on the bar close, and the calibration underneath was tuned and tested over hundreds of hours on historical charts of the most traded markets.
Δ BAR +35% shows which side was the aggressor and by what margin; “~” marks delta that is still building.
Δ SESS, Δ WEEK, Δ MONTH, Δ QTR or Δ YEAR: the dominant side since the start of a period matched to the interval.
POC 81% places the most-traded price inside the bar; EXC ▲55▼0 shows how much of the range sat outside the 70% value area.
Exceptional-activity markers sit where the most volume traded, with delta and the POC price in the tooltip.
DIV ▼ or DIV ▲ when a new closing high or low is not confirmed by delta. Tested without a directional edge — it describes the swing, not the next move.
Absorption, exhaustion, impulse and THIN PUSH account for buyer and seller aggression wherever the footprint has detail.
FP, FP~ or EST in the header, plus a status field with the reason and a ROW→ row-size hint.
Relative volume by time of day, 12 participation states, a delta-driven Flow line, nine alert conditions and one combined alert.
Same participation engine.
Each bar is compared with the instrument's typical activity at that time of day, with thresholds from its own history — the relative volume indicator TradingView engine of Volume X-Ray, unchanged.
Delta on the instrument's own scale.
As a volume delta indicator it measures each bar's delta against the instrument's typical delta, so readings compare across CFDs, futures, stocks and crypto.
Weighted by footprint quality.
Each order-flow component counts only as much as the detail behind it; with little detail the bar is labelled FP~ or EST — an estimate is never presented as footprint.
Divergence has to pass gates.
It needs two confirmed closing highs or lows of one swing, delta beyond ordinary noise on the opposite side, good footprint quality across the swing, and absorption or excess at the second extreme.
Commits on the close, marks the exceptions.
States, events and alerts are final on the bar close. A footprint built live can differ slightly from one recalculated from history, so events from such bars carry an asterisk.
Every indicator in the family stands on the same foundation, so it reads the chart the moment you add it — and your time goes into the market, not the settings panel.
In Volume X-Ray Premium, Auto-Timeframe also sets the footprint row size for the market and interval (Row Size = 0) and matches the delta anchor to the interval — session delta up to 30m, weekly delta from 1h, longer anchors on higher intervals.
Auto-Timeframe, on by default
Your chart interval picks a calibration profile tuned over hundreds of hours of testing on historical charts of the most traded markets — gold, oil, major currency pairs, indices, stocks and crypto. Change the interval and the indicator re-tunes itself.
Manual Mode for experts
Every value the calibration sets is also a setting of yours. Full control, nothing locked behind the automation.
Dark and Light, automatically
The indicator reads your chart background and switches colours and transparency on its own. Line weights and text sizes are set by role.
One family, one visual language
The same concept wears the same colour in every indicator. Combined, they divide the chart instead of duplicating it.
A universal session clock
Asia, London and New York run on their own city clocks, daylight saving is handled for you, and the instrument class decides which windows apply.
Honest by construction
Events print on bar close, closed windows stay frozen, and the data behind a reading is graded or labelled. No profit promises and no hidden guesses: when the data cannot support a reading, the indicator says so.
Two minutes on gold, the DAX and bitcoin: bar delta and POC on a New York open, anchored delta over a week, the footprint quality label on older bars, and how a delta divergence is gated — and why we show it as information, not a signal. Historical charts, default settings.
Historical charts, used for education. Readings describe participation and flow, not direction — no buy or sell signals.
What you read the header shows FP. On the breakout bar Δ BAR is clearly positive, POC sits high in the bar and the state turns HEALTHY; a few bars later a long upper wick prints a large EXC ▲.
How to use it positive delta with a high POC describes buyers lifting price while the market accepts higher levels; the excess at the high says price up there traded thin and was rejected. Concept: POC and value area explained.
What you read on 1m the footprint has full detail only in the current session. Δ BAR shows “…”, then a value with a tilde, then the full value; bars from earlier sessions read EST.
How to use it delta on the side of the move in the second half of the bar with PACE above 1 describes an active aggressor; Δ SESS tells you whether the session agrees. Open-bar values change with every tick.
What you read Δ WEEK is slightly negative while price rises; bars older than about two weeks switch to EST.
How to use it the rise is happening while aggressive selling dominates and is absorbed by passive demand. EST means no detail, not no volume — for longer detailed history, use 30m or 4h.
What you read price makes a higher closing high; a few bars later DIV ▼ appears, with a large EXC ▲ or ABSORPTION at the high.
How to use it the new high has no confirmation in delta. We tested this without a directional edge — price decides what comes next, so check the structure with a market structure indicator. Related: what momentum divergence actually predicts.
Volume X-Ray Premium tells you how much participation, and whose aggression, stands behind a move; the family's price-chart indicators tell you where. It draws in its own pane, so you divide the chart instead of duplicating it.
Point at an indicator to see why it works with this one.
Liquidity indicator TradingView — Ultimate Liquidity and Market Structure
It shows where the market takes liquidity; Premium shows whether delta and POC confirm absorption at that very spot.
ICT indicator TradingView — Complete ICT 2027
ICT concepts, sessions and killzones on the price chart; Premium shows whose aggression is behind a reaction in a zone.
Footprint volume profile TradingView — Volume Profile and Activity Map Premium
Premium reads the footprint inside each bar; version 1.0.0 draws no session POC, row imbalances or cumulative delta line. For the footprint across price levels, use that indicator.
Support and resistance indicator TradingView — Institutional Support and Resistance Premium
It builds support, resistance and liquidity levels from traded volume, each with its sample and confidence grade; Premium shows whether the delta behind a test of that level agrees.
Keeping the screen tidy: Premium already contains the full Volume X-Ray engine, so you do not need Volume X-Ray on the same chart. If dashboards overlap, change Position or set Surface to Pane. All premium TradingView indicators are listed together.

A TradingView Premium plan or higher, also in Estimate mode — the indicator reads TradingView volume footprints, which scripts can access only on those plans. On any other plan, choose Volume X-Ray.
No. TradingView splits volume into buying and selling by the direction of lower-interval bars, not by the actual bid/ask aggressor, so delta approximates aggression rather than recording the order book.
Stocks, futures, FX, CFDs and crypto on standard candles, from 30S. 5m gives the best footprint detail; on 1h the footprint covers only about the last two weeks.
No. We tested it without a directional edge: it tells you a new closing extreme is not confirmed by delta, and price decides what comes next.
Yes — nine alert conditions, including both delta divergences, plus one combined alert, each firing once on the bar close. See how to set up TradingView alerts.
Yes. It draws in its own pane and puts only the dashboard and markers on the price chart. You do not need Volume X-Ray on the same chart — Premium contains its full engine.
