Volume Price Trend Slope (10-bar, normalized)Volume

Timeframe M1 · unit norm

What it measures

VPT accumulates volume multiplied by the percentage price change each bar, building a running total that tracks whether large price moves are accompanied by large volume. The 10-bar slope measures the current rate of change of this accumulated trend.

How Janira reads it (bullish vs bearish)

A rising VPT slope indicates that recent up-moves are larger in percentage terms and better attended by volume than recent down-moves. A falling slope indicates the reverse. Normalization by total volume makes the value comparable across sessions.

In plain language

VPT scores each candle by multiplying how far price moved (in %) by how many shares were traded. A big percentage up-move with huge volume adds a lot to the score; a tiny move on thin volume adds little. The slope shows if that score is trending up or down.

Scenarios

VPT slope strongly positive: large percentage gains are accompanied by high volume - buyers are committed, not just drifting higher.
VPT slope strongly negative: large percentage declines dominate, backed by volume, suggesting active distribution.
VPT slope flat while price rises: price is advancing on modest relative-volume moves, a potential divergence.
VPT slope and OBV slope diverging: one of the two volume-trend measures is giving a different signal, worth monitoring for resolution.
