About

Volume Climax flags bars where volume is more than 2× the lookback SMA AND the bar's range exceeds 1.5× ATR — climax bars often mark exhaustion.

  • Use the diamond marker to spot exhaustion in real time, then wait for a follow-through bar in the opposite direction to confirm.
  • A climax bar inside an existing range is more meaningful than one at the start of a new trend.
