Delta and Cumulative Delta Histogram
This script visualizes volume delta (difference between buy and sell volume) using either:
Instant delta (per bar), or
Cumulative delta, for trend observation.
⚙️ Key Inputs:
aggr: Toggles between Cumulative vs Per-bar delta display.
ratio: Option to normalize delta as a ratio (buyVolume/totalVolume), adjusted for direction.
colbuy, colsell: Colors for buy and sell delta bars.
📊 How It Works:
Delta Calculation
If ratio is true, delta = buyVolume / volume, then adjusted by sign.
Else, raw delta = buyVolume - sellVolume.
Cumulative Delta (cdelta)
Accumulates delta only when direction is consistent (both current and previous deltas are either positive or negative).
Resets if the direction changes.
Plotting
If aggr is ON → plots cdelta as a histogram.
If aggr is OFF → plots raw delta as histogram.
📈 Use Case:
Ideal for orderflow traders and volume-based strategies.
Helps identify momentum shifts, buy/sell pressure trends, and divergences.
