Free MT4 Volume Indicators

Volume indicators measure the amount of trading inside each candle, and on MetaTrader 4 that count is tick volume: the number of price changes inside the bar, a close stand-in for activity in the decentralised forex market. Rising volume on a breakout and fading volume on a pullback are among the oldest confirmations in technical analysis.

Several free MT4 tools here read that activity from different angles. Volume profile tools stack volume by price into a histogram, with the point of control (POC) at the busiest level and the value area holding about 70 percent of the session's trading, in session, fixed-range or anchored versions. Delta tools split each bar into up-ticks and down-ticks and build a cumulative delta line. Volume spread analysis (VSA) labels climax bars and no-demand or no-supply candles from the spread and the close, while on-balance volume, accumulation/distribution and a volume oscillator turn the counts into a line under the chart. VWAP plots the volume-weighted average price from the session start or from any anchor.

Volume confirms more than it predicts: a breakout bar with volume well above its 20-bar average is trusted more, and a new high on shrinking volume often warns that buyers are tiring. High-volume nodes in a profile pull price toward them, while low-volume nodes are gaps it crosses quickly. Histograms and delta bars from these .ex4 files, built in MQL4, draw on the price chart or in a subwindow below it, and the indicator page explains every installation step. Tick counts differ from broker to broker, so the same pair can show slightly different volume on two MT4 accounts, and traders compare bars on one feed only.
