ZenAlgo - Ultimate
Ultimate is a volume-analysis panel for comparing activity, direction, and imbalance across several timeframes. It brings together PVSRA candle coloring, up/down volume estimates, delta, divergences, and summary tables.
The panel can look busy at first. Read it in layers rather than trying to interpret every value at once.
First layer: volume and candle state
PVSRA candle colors compare each candle's volume and spread with recent activity. Brighter climax colors identify unusually active candles; above-average colors identify elevated, but less extreme, activity.
An unusually active candle tells you that participation changed. Its meaning depends on location and follow-through. A climax candle at resistance that immediately fails has different implications from the same candle breaking and holding above resistance.
Second layer: delta and ratios
Ultimate estimates up and down volume and shows their difference as delta. Positive delta indicates more estimated buying activity; negative delta indicates more estimated selling activity.
The tables compare these values across multiple timeframes and summarize states such as rising, big buy/sell, or mega buy/sell. Use the higher timeframes to understand context and the lower timeframes to see whether the current move agrees with it.
A disagreement is often more useful than simple agreement. For example, rising price with weakening or negative delta can warn that the move is losing participation.
Third layer: divergences and diamonds
R and H labels mark regular and hidden divergences. Regular divergence warns that the current move may be tiring; hidden divergence can support continuation of the broader trend.
Diamonds mark delta crosses:
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Tiny lower diamond | Confirmed upward delta cross with positive delta |
| Tiny upper diamond | Confirmed downward delta cross with negative delta |
| Small lower diamond | Unconfirmed upward delta cross |
| Small upper diamond | Unconfirmed downward delta cross |
Confirmed diamonds wait for more agreement. Unconfirmed diamonds appear earlier, so they also require more filtering.
A simple workflow
- Identify whether current volume is ordinary, above average, or climax.
- Check whether delta supports the candle direction.
- Compare the current reading with the multi-timeframe tables.
- Treat divergences and diamonds as prompts to inspect price structure.
Alerts
Ultimate provides four built-in alerts: Confirmed Cross Up Delta Positive, Confirmed Cross Down Delta Negative, Unconfirmed Cross Up Delta, and Unconfirmed Cross Down Delta.
Confirmed alerts are more selective. Unconfirmed alerts provide an earlier warning but should be interpreted with the surrounding volume and price context.
