Cumulative Volume Delta
Coder: EarnForex
Released date: Nov. 10, 2025
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) is an indicator for MT4 that is based on calculating the difference (delta) between buy and sell volumes to spot trend exhaustions early. The indicator calculates buy/sell volume difference over a given number of bars and presents it either in raw form or smoothed as a histogram. Green bars mean that there was more buy volume during the period while red bars mean that there was more sell volume.
Although it would be a stretch to call this CVD indicator a multi-timeframe one, it can draw buy/sell volume data from lower timeframes
(which is a more accurate way to calculate Cumulative Volume Delta). This isn't always practical due to lower timeframe data availability issues. If you attach this indicator to a higher timeframe and select a very low source timeframe for volume data, it might not display anything useful. In that case, it is recommended to increase the source timeframe.
Input parameters
Source timeframe for volume data: a lower timeframe to source price and volume data for the indicator's calculations. If a higher timeframe is given the current one will be used instead.
Period for cumulative delta calculation: the size of the sliding window to cumulate the volume delta on.
Smoothing method: the method for the smoothing moving average.
Smoothing period: the period of the smoothing moving average.
