🌊 Tsunami Volume Surge (RVOL) — Relative Volume Indicator for cTrader

Tsunami Volume Surge(RVOL + Time-of-Day) is a cTrader indicator designed to show traders when the market is truly active. Instead of looking only at absolute volume, it compares current market activity with its usual levels at the same time of day.

The main idea is simple: if volume is significantly higher than normal, the move is more likely driven by real market participants and has greater strength. The indicator highlights these situations using a color-coded histogram, bar coloring on the chart, and convenient alerts.

How Tsunami Volume Surge (RVOL) works

How to use in trading

There are many ways to use Tsunami Volume Surge:

Visual confirmation
Colored candles make it easy to see which bars have real energy behind them, without staring at numbers.ts.

Filter weak signals
If volume is below normal (RVOL < 1.0), the market lacks interest. Avoid signals during such conditions.

Confirm breakouts
A breakout supported by high RVOL is far more reliable than one on low volume. Quasar Volume helps you spot the difference.

Time-of-day analysis
Different markets have their own rhythm. This indicator shows at which hours a symbol usually becomes active.

News trading
During major news events, RVOL often spikes. Setting a higher threshold (e.g. 3.0) helps you catch these explosive moves.

Tsunami Volume Surge (RVOL) – Parameters Overview

Core

  • Lookback Days
    Sets how many past days are used to calculate normal activity levels. More days = smoother averages, fewer days = more sensitivity to recent changes. Recommended: 20–30 for stable pairs, 10–15 for fast-moving markets.
  • High Threshold (≥ triggers)
    The multiplier that defines what counts as unusually high volume. Default is 2.0 (twice the norm). Lower for more frequent alerts, higher to focus only on the strongest spikes.

Alerts

  • Enable Alerts
    Turns the alert system on/off.
  • Alert On Close Only
    If true, alerts are triggered only once the bar closes (safer, but later). If false, alerts trigger as soon as the threshold is crossed (faster, but less reliable).
  • Show Popup Alerts
    Displays a large popup message in the middle of the chart when an alert triggers.
  • Popup Bars To Show
    How many bars the popup should remain visible before disappearing.
