VIV (Very Important Volume) is a custom-built TradingView indicator developed by Thirtyfour® in collaboration with trading mentor Sunil Sethi. Designed for professional and aspiring traders, VIV provides real-time insights on price action, volume zones, and trend alignment, helping traders make more confident and data-driven decisions.

VIV (Very Important Volume) is not just an indicator — it’s a complete system built around logic, psychology, and price behavior. Designed with precision, it aims to simplify the way traders understand volume, trends, and key zones — all in one place.

Key Responsibilities

  • Market Knowledge (Core Trading Expertise)
  • Deep understanding of price action.
  • Experience with trend stages.
  • Trading psychology
  • Mathematical / Logical Design.
  • Coding Skills in Pine Script.
  • User interface knowledge.

Understanding & Strategy

Mix of trading expertise, data handling skills, and programming knowledge

  • Clear Conceptual Framework
    Deeply understanding of how volume, price action, and momentum interact. This includes identifying what “very important volume” (VIV) actually represents — e.g., volume spikes in specific price zones, relative volume vs. historical average, or a combination of price structure and momentum shifts.
  • Algorithm Design & Rules
    Translate the concept into measurable rules: How to define “important” volume (absolute vs. relative), Which price zones to mark (candlestick levels, clusters, gaps) and How to filter out noise (timeframe alignment, trend confirmation).
  • Programming Skills in Pine Script
    Since VIV runs on TradingView, must had the comfortable writing efficient Pine Script code to: Fetch price/volume data, Perform calculations, Plot zones, signals, labels, and alerts cleanly and Optimize performance to handle real-time updates
  • Testing and Validation
    Needed to backtest signals over multiple market conditions to ensure that the indicator works across different stocks, indices, and timeframes — not just cherry-picked examples.
  • Design for Usability Like VIV, the indicator should be user-friendly: Clear visual cues (zones, highlights, colors), Adjustable parameters (so traders can tune sensitivity) and Minimal clutter while showing maximum insight.
  • Educational Layer Even the best indicator fails without context. To make it as useful as VIV, needed to create supporting material — explanations, examples, and guidance on how to interpret the signals alongside price action.
