Indicator Overview
The Volume Spread Analysis Text Indicator detects and displays key signals such as lack of supply/demand or the stopping of buying/selling pressure through text annotations directly on the chart. Each signal corresponds to a specific condition in the market:
- Upthrust: Indicates a failed attempt to push the price higher
- No Demand Bar: A candle with low volume and close in the mid or lower range
- Stopping Volume: Sudden surge in volume during a downtrend
- Reverse Upthrust: The inverse of the Upthrust pattern
- No Supply Bar: A candle with low volume and close in the mid or upper price range
- Effort to Move Up: Price rise with strong volume
- Effort to Move Down: Price drop with heavy selling pressure
Uptrend Conditions
In the 30-minute chart of the NASDAQ 100 index, following a downtrend, an increase in volume alongside price growth indicates buyer efforts to reverse the trend.
A strong bullish candle and the appearance of the "Effort to Move Up" signal confirm the strength of demand and suggest the start of an uptrend.

Downtrend Conditions
The price chart below shows the EUR/GBP currency pair on a 30-minute timeframe. In downtrends, price decline combined with high volume reflects strong selling pressure.
If this occurs after a bullish correction, it confirms the continuation of the downtrend.

Conclusion
The VSA Text Indicator, by simultaneously analyzing volume, candle spread, and price action, displays signals such as No Demand, Upthrust, Effort to Move Up, and other VSA-based price-volume patterns as textual alerts directly on the chart.
Parameters like "Spread Period" and "Volume Period" allow traders to customize the indicator’s sensitivity to volume changes, making it adaptable to various trading strategies.
