Better Volume Indicator and Tradestation

[pa18]

Hi guys,

I have an indicator for Ninjatrader called 'Better Volume Indicator' from emini watch. The original indicator is programmed for tradestation and the indicator I have is for Ninjatrader becasue NT is my preferred platform.

What I'm trying to do is confirm if my NT Better Volume indicator is doing it's job well so I like to ask the numerous tradestation guys on this forum if you have the indicator I mentioned. And if you do, do you mind posting yesterdays 10 minute GBPUSD EURUSD EURJPY charts for me to compare with mine.

Thank you,

Hi Tams,

I don't have tradestation. I'm asking someone for help in posting tradestation charts for me to compare with my NT charts.

I don't trade GBPUSD EURUSD EURJPY...
maybe someone can help.

Trouble using currencies to compare is that every feed will have different volumes. If you are debugging a volume based indicator you might be better off comparing an exchange traded instrument?

I'm using the demo version of NT with the feed from GAIN. I think Tradestation also get their feed from GAIN if I read the website correctly. So, should have no problems with comparing tick volume between NT and TS.

don't know if this will help you at all....

As others have mentioned feeds are different - Even NT Gain and TS Gain?
Also, my bars may start at different times from yours.
Also, I am displaying an older BetterVolume indicator... never downloaded the newer closed source ones..

Hi Zdo,

Thank you for the charts, I'm still not sure if NT better volume is reading the market well what it is suppose to do. In the end I asked directly emini watch for the charts. I'd compared them from mine and looks like my better volume are picking areas of turns ok but continuations are and checking your charts, this also confirms my suspicions. It may be my settings in NT BV

Can you post your old NT indicator out for me to try? Or maybe suggest the settings for NT BV, that would be brilliant so at least I can make some solid assumptions about this NT indicator.

Thank you

Sorry, I only have TS versions. Have never used it on TS or NT. If you study the code you should be able to determine whether or not you can make "solid assumptions" about the logic of his conditions particularily since fx volume is number of ticks proxy for actual volume...

If you read the code through carefully you should be able to get it right without too much (any?) testing. Of course I appreciate you wanting to test it however It is really just 5 conditionals so careful scrutiny of the code should be able to get a bug free conversion.
