Point and Figure Charting : Volume On X's Or O's !

	ELD is the format of easy languages script files. Sometimes called ELA's which was an older format. Rather than write numbers (that are hard to digest) why not use different shading to represent the intensity of the volume? You could have a background behind '0' go from a very pale red to dark red and 'X' go from pale blue to dark blue for example. That also preserves the symetry of the O and X which I think is important. You would need pretty large boxes to print maybe a 4 or 5 digit number in. Just athought. I am guessing you don't want to pay for this? I came across a couple of guys who sell P&F software for tradestation. They may change there stuff if they could see it adds value towhat they are selling. Cheers.

it seems that you got my idea ...
It would be nice idea if you can share more thoughts ..

take your time ..

The guys I had in mind where

Point & Figures DLL Pierre Orphin

and

SnapDragon Systems Limited Adam Hartley

I have never used them there porducts or services but they offer a standard P&F solution for tradestation that they may modify for you as they do bespoke too.

I also came across some metastock code that might possibly be converted. I'll search for the link later.

Also There are also a couple of people that do inexpensive standalone P&F software they tend to read data from ascii or metastock files (I.e. no real time data feed) maybe they might include volume by request?

The more I think about it the more I like the idea of what you are trying to visualise though Id go with colors myself :-)

Cheers.

regarding the metastock code .. what does it do exactly ?

It seems that you get me right , still wish to do it ..
