We've just released a brand-new free indicator for cTrader, the Volume Heatmap Overlay.
This tool transforms raw tick volume into a smooth colour-coded signal that sits directly on your candles. Instead of staring at a separate volume pane, you get a heat overlay that adapts to your symbol and timeframe, showing when participation is running hot, cold, or just average.
✅ Key Features
Real-time bar colouring based on percentile-scaled tick volume
Adaptive normalisation across regimes
EMA smoothing to reduce flicker without lagging badly
Custom palettes, transparency, and alert options
Works seamlessly across all symbols and timeframes
How traders use it
Confirming breakouts when both price and heat expand
Spotting weak moves when bars stay “cool”
Avoiding low-participation chop zones
Adjusting risk around news and session opens

The indicator is available to download now from the ClickAlgo site:
