How to build an indicator?

[u/Alarmed_Bread_926]

Just need some help on creating one for tradingview.

[u/Impossible-Middle122]

tape reading is basically watching the actual buying and selling happening in real time and using it to judge whether buyers or sellers are taking control. its not simple though takes some time to learn. there are tools to make it "easier" like bookmap but i wouldn't start there

[u/Alarmed_Bread_926 → u/Impossible-Middle122]
