Picture is from today. Is it possible to make it even better, maybe dynamic zones, bands or something?

Hello, added dynamic zones with a signal line with signal cross or dynamic zone middle cross coloring.

Yeah, maybe good to spot those divergences first from higher timeframe like H4 and after that go to lower timeframe.
I think it is a good indicator, I did change period to 26 and Volume power to 3.0.

Larry Williams Large Trade Index

In professional market theory, LWTI sits in:
Order-flow / Participation Oscillators
Same family as:
Accumulation/Distribution
Volume Oscillator
Smart Money Index
Cumulative Delta
Larry Williams’ Large Trade Index (LWTI) is a smart-money detector.

It is a technical indicator designed to tell you when large professional traders (banks, funds, institutions) are actively buying or selling — instead of small retail traders just churning price.
The idea behind it

Larry Williams observed something very simple but powerful:
Big traders leave volume footprints.
When institutions enter the market:
  • Volume jumps
  • Price moves more efficiently
  • Pullbacks become shallow
  • Trends suddenly “stick”
The Large Trade Index isolates those moments.
It separates:
  • Small random trades (noise)
  • from large committed trades (smart money)

What LTI actually measures
Under the hood, LTI looks at:
  • Price change
  • Volume
  • How much volume is needed to move price
Then it answers one question:
“Are large traders aggressively pushing price, or is this just retail noise?”
If price rises on little volume → retail
If price rises on heavy volume → institutions

LTI rises when big players are active.
How it is read
On MT4, LTI is shown as an oscillator line.
Typical interpretation:

LTI behavior // Meaning
Rising above zero = Institutions are buying
Falling below zero = Institutions are selling
Flat near zero = Market is controlled by retail noise
Spikes = Strong institutional entry
Divergence = Smart money is leaving before price turns
