Flow
CVD - Delta Cumulative
CVD - Delta Cumulative as CANDLES in its own panel.
Real example in the platform
CVD - Delta Cumulative on the NQ, 1-minute candles built from real ticks (October 16, 2026, Rithmic feed) — a screenshot of the platform itself, factory settings.
What it does
- Accumulates delta (aggressive buying − selling) and draws ONE candle per bar: open = where the previous bar stopped, high/low = the extremes of the running total INSIDE the bar (second by second, from the tape), close = where it stopped.
- Input data: volumes, number of aggregated trades or number of aggressive orders.
- Reset per session (optional), zero line, min/max filter, average with deviation bands; Candlestick, OHLC or body-only styles.
How to read
- Rising candles = buyers in control; falling = sellers. Long wicks = aggression flipped inside the bar.
- Divergence from price (price up, CVD not) = a move with no flow behind it.
