Count Consecutive Volume Up/Down Days

[helitrader 10]

I'm trying to create a simple indicator for Radarscreen that will display the following:

 

1. Count the number of consecutive days that the total volume for that day has closed higher (or lower) than the total volume for the day before.

2. The indicator must also update at the end of the session for that day.

 

This is what I have so far, but it doesn't update at the end of the session. Any help would be much appreciated:

 

Variables: VolTrend(0), VolUpDays(0), VolDnDays(0), ;

 

//Volume Comparison Calculations

If BarStatus(1) = 2 and Volume > Volume[1] then //identifies the last bar of the session & compares volume

begin

VolUpDays = VolUpDays + 1;

VolDnDays = 0;

end;

If BarStatus(1) = 2 and Volume < Volume[1] then //identifies the last bar of the session & compares volume

begin

VolDnDays = VolDnDays - 1;

VolUpDays = 0;

end;

If VolUpDays > 0 and VolDnDays = 0 then VolTrend = VolUpDays;

If VolDnDays < 0 and VolUpDays = 0 then VolTrend = VolDnDays;

 

Plot1(VolTrend, "Vol Up/Dn");

change the keyword volume to ticks.

 

Don't ask me why, in EasyLanguage...

the keyword volume means "total upticks" in English,

the keyword ticks means "total volume" in English.

give this a try...

 

good luck.

 

 

Variables: 
VolTrend(""), 
VolUpDays(0), 
VolDnDays(0) ;

//Volume Comparison Calculations
If BarStatus(1) = 2 then
begin
//identifies the last bar of the session & compares volume
if ticks > ticks[1] then 
begin
	VolUpDays = VolUpDays + 1;
	VolDnDays = 0;
end
else
//identifies the last bar of the session & compares volume
If ticks < ticks[1] then 
begin
	VolDnDays = VolDnDays - 1;
	VolUpDays = 0;
end;
end;

If VolUpDays > 0 then 
VolTrend = "VolUpDays"
else
VolTrend = "VolDnDays";

Plot1(VolTrend, "Vol Up/Dn");
