Volume Flow Indicator for MT5

In short: the Volume Flow Indicator for MetaTrader 5 tracks money flow from price and volume with two bands, an EMA and a standard-deviation band, plus a histogram; it gives a buy signal when they cross upward and a sell signal when they cross downward.

When to use it

• Confirming trends: check that volume supports the price move.
• Spotting divergences: falling volume flow during a rally can warn of weakness.
• All timeframes: scalping to position trading.

How it differs

Simple volume bars only show how much traded. The Volume Flow Indicator combines price direction with volume, caps extreme volume spikes with a cutoff, and smooths the result, so the flow line reflects sustained buying or selling.

Getting started

1. Set the volume Length and Coefficient.
2. Use Max volume cutoff to limit the effect of unusual spikes.
3. Set Signal length and Smoothing.
4. Turn on the standard-deviation histogram if you want it shown.

Compare with Weis Wave Volume and Cumulative Delta Volume.
