WickAndBody Volume Flow v5.2

Order Flow Analysis through Candle Segmentation

The WickAndBody Volume Flow is an advanced diagnostic tool for MetaTrader that allows traders to "see" inside every Japanese candlestick. Unlike conventional volume indicators, this algorithm utilizes Multi-Timeframe (MTF) technology to break down real volume and determine exactly how much capital was traded in the wicks versus the candle body .

Key Features

• Volume Detection: Uses lower timeframe data (M1/M5) to reconstruct volume distribution within a single bar with maximum fidelity [cite: 2026-02-26].

• Dynamic Selection Sensor: The sensor exclusively analyzes the period or candle selected by the mouse movement, providing instantaneous data without reloading the chart.

• Anatomical Segmentation: Divides each candle into three critical zones: Upper Wick, Body, and Lower Wick, comparing the visual percentage (price) against the real volume percentage [cite: 2026-03-03].

• Neutrality Filter: Automatically identifies indecision or absorption candles when the body represents less than 20% of the total range, changing the panel's aesthetics for a quick visual alert.

Trader Advantages

• Absorption Identification: Discover if a long wick contains real volume (active pressure) or if it is simply a low-liquidity movement.

• Effort vs. Result Validation: Confirm if the volume traded in the body justifies the candle's size to detect potential institutional traps.

• Minimalist Interface: An elegant and configurable data panel that integrates perfectly into any Price Action or Order Flow strategy.
