Cash Volume

• “How big was this day in dollars, on this coin?”
• “On a gold sigma day, how much money was actually buying vs selling?”
• “Is this rally being driven by big real flow, or by a few small unusual prints?”
• “Did the move have one big day of dollar conviction, or is it slowly bleeding in?”
• “Net positive or net negative this week, where is the dollar weight?”

If Sigma counts the unusual events and Buy/Sell tells you which side won, Cash Volume tells you how big the cheque was. Three lenses on the same dollars:

• Total (cyan)How much money flowed through the unusual events on that bar. The size of the day, in dollars.
• Buy / Sell (green and red)How the dollars split. Big green next to small red is real demand. Big red next to small green is real supply. Both bars huge is a battle.
• Net (green if positive, red if negative)The bottom line of the day. Positive green means buyers won; negative red means sellers won. Useful when you only want one number.

• Total mode: size the dayTwo coins with the same Sigma count can have wildly different total dollar volume. The one with the bigger Total bar had the bigger players.
• Total mode: disqualify thin sigmasGold sigma day on a tiny coin with $50k total is not the same as a gold day with $50M total. Total mode lets you weight the signal by the dollars behind it.
• Buy / Sell mode: confirm absorption or exhaustionSigma gold, Buy/Sell red dominant in events, but Cash Volume Buy/Sell shows green dollars meeting red dollars roughly evenly. The count is being driven by sellers but the dollars are being absorbed by buyers. That is hidden absorption. The reverse flags hidden distribution.
• Buy / Sell mode: wash-trade filterBig total bars with near-equal green and red, day after day, on a coin with no real news. Likely market-maker churn or wash trading. Real flow is asymmetric.
• Net mode: bottom-line a weekScroll across many days. Are most days net green or net red? That is the dollar weight of the trend, irrespective of price action.
• Net mode: spot the day that broke the trendA run of net green followed by a single very large net red. One big seller stepped in. That bar is worth investigating.

The natural workflow is the three-indicator loop: Sigma to find the gold day, Buy/Sell to read the direction of the events, Cash Volume to weight the signal in dollars. Together they give you count, direction, and size.

Below 4H timeframe is blocked by design. Sub-4H buckets are too noisy to be meaningful. On intraday timeframes (4H to 12H) only the last 14 days of data are fetched, useful for recent context, not for historical study. On 1D and above you get full history.

For coins with no recent activity, no events means no dollar rows means no bars. Cash Volume is a flow indicator, not a price indicator.

Dollars don’t lie about size. Counts can be inflated by market-maker spam, retail noise, or thin-book wicks. Real positioning shows up in the dollar value of the events, not just their number. Cash Volume turns “lots of activity” into “X million dollars one-sided”, and the difference between those two statements is the whole game.
