This indicator shows volume separated by session. The aim is clarify which session a volume bar occurred in and how it compares to the average of that session - NOT ALL SESSIONS.
The logic is that there is little value comparing for example the volume of the London session against volume of the London-NY session - the London-NY will always have higher volume. But how does today's london compare to yesterdays london or the london average.
The indicator has moving averages that only consider the average of previous episodes of the same session - so the average on the london session is the average of the past 5 london sessions (NY and asia and London-NY are not included in the calculation of the MA).
The indicator goes as high as 1H timeframe and the average line does not function below 5 mins - thats a limitation on available data to calculate it.
There's also a 'dark screen' function. Thats because I like a black background so the colours need to be inverted.
Hope its useful. Good luck.
