Here is the oscillator version of the Volume Delta created by Walterw. It shows the flow of the Volume Delta very nicely. If you like them oscillators and price divergences, this one is for you.

All credits go out to Walterw for creating this indicator. Screenshot is attached.

Re: Volume Delta Oscillator

James or Walter, for those of us who do not use TS, would you explain how this oscillator is computed?

Well, not quite Blu-Ray. I see in the code that down tick volume is subtracted from the uptick volume. What I don't understand is how this becomes an oscillator. Perhaps you can explain it for us.

I've never used it, I just downloaded it to get the code for you.

Just quickly looking at the code and using the default settings:

It's based on an 2 period ema of the upticks - downticks. Then that value is put into a 3 period sma and the 1st line is plotted.

Then the 2nd line is a 3 period sma of the first line.

Hope this helps

Ok thanks for the explanation

Re: Volume Delta Oscillator

James,

Regardless of the form this indicator comes in, do you believe that watching for divergence in price versus the OSC is valid for entry near S/R. In other words, is this indicator a true representation for buying and selling pressure? I'm fairly new to trading and have been interested in trading more via price action than with indicators, but in looking at this indicator is seems to do a good job of displaying possible change of direction via divergence fairly well. Am I accurate in my assumption? If so, it seem extreamly powerful.

On another topic I believe you use Market Profile in your trading. Correct me if I'm wrong. Can MP be as simplistic as using VAH, VAL and POC's as support and resistance and watching how price behaves in these areas and trade accordingly, or is it/does it need to be more complicated than that? Thanks.

David

Re: Volume Delta Oscillator

Hi David,

I will not vouch for any indicator simply because I do not use them. If you can read volume and price bars volume delta related indicators are not necessary. However it can be a good tool to visually aid you to see price and volume divergence.

Regarding MP... you can choose to make it as simple as that or more complex than that. It comes down to how you want to use MP in your trading.Are you going to combine MP with other techniques or use MP as a stand alone trading tool? On top of MP pivots like VAH, VAl, POC.... I personally prefer to watch for pattern recognition so I know what type of day we may have. This allows me to place trades accordingly.

Re: Volume Delta Oscillator

Here is a Volume Delta chart for Investor/RT:

http://www.charthub.com/images/2008/...olumeDelta.png

In the second pane, the buying volume is shown in light green, the selling volume in light red, and the delta in darker shades of green and red, using the Volume Breakdown Indicator.

Re: Volume Delta Oscillator

What are the settings for the volume breakdown indicator to get it into the format as the chart?
