Key Features (Expanded Concepts)
01. Trend-Based Analysis with Stages and Background Colors
VIV breaks down the market into three color-coded stages based on trend confirmation:
![]()
Uptrend (Short-Term Trend Confirmation)
- Marks early accumulation or consolidation.
- Shows possible reversal zones.
- Short-term traders use this to spot opportunities before a breakout.
Uptrend (Medium-Term Trend Confirmation)
- Highlights the start of a strong directional move.
- Confidence zone for position building and breakout-following strategies.
Uptrend (Long-Term Trend Confirmation)
- Indicates long term strength.
These trend stages reflect the emotional phases of market participants and the shifting balance of power between buyers and sellers. You can toggle trend backgrounds for intraday, daily, weekly, and monthly trends and change their background colors.
Note : If the % difference inShort term trend exceeds 10%, the stock is considered extended. Such setups should be evaluated with caution before making any trade decisions.

02. . Volume Footprints (➕ Signs)
VIV intelligently identifies past candles with high-volume activity (accumulation/distribution).
![]()
- These are not typical breakout volumes, but subtle footprints of smart money.
- Help spot reversal points, liquidity zones, and retest levels.
- Valuable for both breakout and reversal traders to confirm zone strength.
- You can enable or disable these lines, adjust color, style, and width via VIV Line Settings.
03. VIV || H, VIV || L and VIV || C Zones
Automatically plots horizontal levels from high-volume, high-activity candles—revealing the footprints of smart money.
- VIV || H (High) = Top of important bar.
- VIV || L (Low) = Bottom of important bar.
- VIV || C (Close) = Close price of important bar.
Key levels used by traders for:
- Entries
- Stop-loss placement
- Targets
These zones show where price historically reacted due to strong institutional presence. They come with customizable label colors and backgrounds.
04. Price Tightness Detection
Detects when two or more candles compress within the range of a larger parent candle.
Represents indecision, contraction, or coiling behavior before major price moves.
Ideal for both:
- Breakout traders looking for base formations.
- Reversal traders watching for exhaustion.
Color-coded markers indicate such tight price zones — disabled by default but can be enabled.
05. Technical Stats Panel (Important Data Table)
An insightful dashboard providing:
- ADR% – Volatility-based movement expectations (change period via input).
- ATR – Real volatility indicator.
- Average Volume / Price Volume – Customizable average period and currency unit (INR/USD).
Trend Data:
- 10/20/200 SMAs
- 10-week & 20-week trend stages (custom SMA period/timeframe supported)
Relative Strength vs Benchmark
![]()
- RS grade: GREAT, GOOD, FAIR, UNCERTAIN, UNDER PERFORMER, LAGGARD, POOR
- When RS is comparing: BOTH STRONG, BOTH WEEK
- You can also display the benchmark symbol name and change the symbol for relative strength comparison.
06. Relative Strength Grade Change Alerts
VIV tracks relative strength changes against a chosen benchmark (e.g., Nifty MidSmallCap).
![]()
The above tells us that if the stock is stronger or weaker than the benchmark.![]()
- Detects when relative strength shifts from:
- Strong → Weak (e.g., EXCELLENT → GOOD → FAIR)
- Weak → Strong (e.g., LAGGARD → POOR → FAIR → GOOD)
- Sudden transitions (e.g., WORST → FAIR, BOTH WEAK → GOOD, BOTH GOOD → POOR)
- BOTH WEAK → GOOD or BOTH GOOD → POOR means stock's strength is better/poor than the benchmark
- and more.
These alerts can help in:
- Early trend following
- Exiting when RS degrades
- Adding positions when RS improves
07. Smart Alerts (Built-in Conditions)
You can set alerts for (any timeframe)
- Positive Trend
- Negative Trend
