Shows whether bars are printing with real urgency or just drifting, so participation shifts stand out faster across tick, range, Renko, volume, and time charts.
Keeps the recent swing's main Fibonacci retracement levels on screen, so pullback zones stay visible without manual drawing.
Uses exponential weighting to create a faster volume-weighted reference than standard session VWAP, which can help fair value react sooner during intraday shifts.
Plots a clean session-reset VWAP so traders can keep intraday fair value on screen without relying on a faster weighted variant.
Measures current volume against its recent average so traders can see when participation is ordinary, elevated, or genuinely unusual.
