# Volume delta

## Labeling on the chart

Volumes show the number of executed trades, but do not indicate which trades were more numerous!

{% hint style="danger" %}
Many mistakenly believe that if a volume candle is red, then the bears "won" in it...

In fact, a volume candle always repeats the color of the regular candle and often misleads!

Delta of volumes is conveniently located under the regular vertical volumes and accurately analyzes the distribution of trades within candles.

Delta shows which side had the actual advantage and how strong it was:

* **Color** shows who won, <mark style="color:green;">**green**</mark> - buyers, <mark style="color:red;">**red**</mark> - sellers
* **Number** shows the strength of the advantage (the difference between buys and sells) - from 1 to 10
* **Filled numbers** highlight the maximum advantage - 7 points and above

## Application in trading

Detailing volume candles improves understanding of the current trend and helps find strong entry and exit points in advance, when the advantage is only beginning to form:

* <mark style="color:green;">**Green**</mark> - buyers dominate (confirms an uptrend and buy trades)
* <mark style="color:red;">**Red**</mark> - sellers dominate (confirms a downtrend and sell trades)
* **Extreme value** - a signal that one side has achieved a "crushing" victory and the price may continue to move in the winners' direction for several more candles - trade in that direction

In the example we see <mark style="color:green;">**green**</mark> filled delta volume circles that indicate a strong advantage <mark style="color:green;">**of bulls,**</mark>!

As a rule, after a strong advantage <mark style="color:green;">**of bulls,**</mark>, the price continues to move upwards for some time.
