Hi, yes, go to NinjaTrader support and you'll find indicators there. There are a few threads in forexfactory on VSA where some people put up NT VSA indicators. Go there are do a search. Have a nice day.

When using the BetterVolume indicator in TS and tracking Forex, set the Forex symbol to Tick Count not Trade Volume. The BetterVolume indicator will work with this setting. Forex does not report actual volume.

Could you post the TS version, I'd like to look at the code and see if I can convert it to NT.

thx!

Hi Guys I just found this thread. I have both TS & NT and the better volume for NT doesn't work at all. I've done comparisons and it's not even close.

I ported the Better Volume code to NT but there's just one small problem: NT doesn't have access to historical bid/ask information. So the indicator worked in real time but if you do anything that would cause a refresh you loose all your volume information. This historical bid/ask feature is supposed to be added in NT 7.0.

So what I do is use better volume with TS and use my other indicators with NT. I prefer to do everything on one platform but some tasks are much easier on one or the other.

Hope that helps.

Neither TS or NT have historical bid/ask info. Its fortunate then that the better volume indicator does not require it are you getting mixed up with another indicator?

BV for TS uses upTicks & downTicks. on a tick chart, if the tick is an uptick then that means it occurred at the ask right? how does TS draw the better volume indicator for historical data if TS doesn't have the bid/ask information?

[Trader333]

If you read the code you will see that one version plots based on tick volume and does not discern between upticks or downticks at all.
