High Volume Movers

TradingView Lab Tool

What are High Volume Movers?

This tool monitors the "Relative Volume" (RVOL) of your watchlist. Price action is often noise, but volume is truth. When a stock is trading at 200% or 300% of its normal volume, it indicates institutional interest and a high probability of a sustained trend.

  • RVOL Calculation: Compares the current bar's volume to a 20-day moving average.
  • Intensity Highlighting: Cells turn bright orange when a stock hits "unusual" volume levels.
  • Institutional Tracking: Helps you identify where the largest players in the market are putting their money.

🚀 Setup Instructions

1
Copy: Click the "Copy Script" button in the black box below.
2
Open: Click the "Pine Editor" tab at the bottom of your TradingView chart.

Save: Paste the code and click "Add to Chart."
Pro Tip: Look for stocks where the Volume cell is orange AND the price is breaking a key level. This is the "Gold Standard" entry for many professional day traders.

Common Issues:
• Low RVOL numbers: RVOL resets at the beginning of the day. Numbers will be smaller at the open and grow as the day progresses.
• Ticker Limits: If you add too many instances of this script, you may hit TradingView's script request limit. Stick to your most important names.
⚠️ Disclaimer: High volume can also indicate a "Climax" where a move is ending. Never trade on volume alone. This script is for educational purposes and carries risk of financial loss.
