Volume Weighed Color Bars

 

If you subscribe to the school of thought that Volume is a Leading Indicator of Price...

this indicator is for you.

 

The price bar will widen when the volume is higher than previous bar,

and narrow when less than previous bar.

What a great way of doing this equivolume stuff. Any ideas to take it one step further by using different thicknesses as volume keeps on increasing. Maybe just 1 or 2 different extra thicknesses???

Can you code this in Easy Language or an ELD for Tradestation? Thanks.

Sorry Tams, I work and go to school full time, and have a family. If you don't have an answer besides a sarcastic one, maybe someone who knows EL and has the time to help not only me, but lots of other people who use TS and have trouble coding in the wrongly named Easy Language, possibly 50-100 members of Traders Laboratory who would be very interested and thankful that someone could post the code for Tradestation. Thanks again for the free sarcasm and not trying to help.

You sure do sound busy, but yet you have enough time to give Tams some grief. He simply suggested that you learn to help yourself. I find it funny that you have an attitude with Tams and he is here giving away free indicators. Guess the old saying is true, give someone an inch and they want to take a foot.

 

Tams,

A lot of people, including myself, are very thankful for your FREE help.

You are both right, kind of. Tams has spent a lot of time contributing to the EL indicators and he probably expects users to have a rudimentary knowledge of the platform they are using. There are however, traders who don't really care about anything other than applying some indicator that they think might work.

 

I think Tams is only using Multicharts, so he is not able to provide an ELD (which only TS can create, but MC can usually read). However a TS user can create an ELD easily by clicking on the EasyLanguage icon on the left tool bar of TS and choose new EL document, paintbar, and then copy and paste the text code included above into the editor window and the press F3 to verify the code.

 

If one can't be bothered with that, then perhaps the attached eld (TS version 8.3 for compatibility) might help.

 

Those interested in this indicator might just want to download a similar indicator BlueRay created for TS about 9 months ago, an ELD called tradeflow, similar to that of the original from the CQG platform :

Thanks thrunner, for posting the ELD. Now I have to run off to work, and work all weekend, go to school and study a lot of the rest of the time not working, and want to have time for my family as much as possible as well. It is possible that Tams response seemed rude and sarcastic to me, could have just not answered if he didn't know, but I apologize for also being rude back. Sorry Tams, I shouldn't have replied so abruptly, I do appreciate the free indicators, just didn't expect your response and was incorrectly rude in return.

Perhaps you where unaware that as Multicharts also uses easy language it is (usually) a simple cut and paste of the text into Tradestation. I guess this could be mis-construed as extreme laziness rather than just being pressed from time.

Ok, this is completely off topic here, but if you are really so busy that you don't have 5 minutes to create an indicator yourself, then you should ask yourself if trading is really for you? Trading is much more than plugging a free indicator from the internet on your chart and you will need many, many hours a day learning the profession. If you want to be a professional golfer, getting a free set of clubs from your buddy at work is not going to make you a professional golfer. Only the hours and hours of practising will.

      Hello traders,
      I am interested in order flow trading and I will post some trades and predictions, some articles and ideology of a bit different understanding how price moves and why. May be this forum will be the right place. So, for the start I have  couple of charts of recent trade on oil. Also I did some comparison of two different software. Would be great to meet some traders who use order flow too. Lets see. I have a lots ideas and strategies to share. I don't use any traditional indicators, because just numbers are important for me.

    • Date: 25th April 2024. Investors Monitor a Potential Japanese Intervention, and upcoming Tech Earnings. Meta stocks top earnings expectations, but revenue guidance for the next 6 months triggers significant selloff. Meta stocks decline 15.00% and the Magnificent Seven also trade lower. Japanese Authorities are on watch and most market experts predict the Japanese Federal Government will intervene once again. The Japanese Yen is the day’s worst performing currency while the Australian Dollar continues to top the charts. The US Dollar trades 0.10% lower, but this afternoon’s performance is likely to be dependent on the US GDP. USA100 – Meta Stocks Fall 15% On the Next 6-Months Guidance The NASDAQ has declined 1.51% over the past 24 hours, unable to maintain momentum from Monday and Tuesday. Technical analysts advise the decline is partially simply a break in the bullish momentum and the asset continues to follow a bullish correction pattern. However, if the decline continues throughout the day, the retracement scenario becomes a lesser possibility. In terms of indications and technical analysis, most oscillators, and momentum-based signals point to a downward price movement. The USA100 trades below the 75-Bar EMA, below the VWAP and the RSI hovers above 40.00. All these factors point towards a bearish trend. The bearish signals are also likely to strengthen if the price declines below $17,295.11. The stock which is experiencing considerably large volatility is Meta which has fallen more than 15.00%. The past quarter’s earnings beat expectations and according to economists, remain stable and strong. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.10% and revenue was as expected. However, company expenses significantly rose in the past quarter and the guidance for the second half of the year is lower than previous expectations. These two factors have caused investors to consider selling their shares and cashing in their profits. Meta’s decline is one of the main causes for the USA100’s bearish trend. CFRA Senior Analyst, Angelo Zino, advises the selloff may be a slight over reaction based on earnings data. If Meta stocks rise again, investors can start to evaluate a possible upward correction. However, a concern for investors is that more and more companies are indicating caution for the second half of the year. The price movements will largely now depend on Microsoft and Alphabet earnings tonight after market close. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ and Alphabet is the third. The two make up 14.25% of the overall index. If the two companies also witness their stocks decline after the earnings reports, the USA100 may struggle to gain upward momentum. EURJPY – Will Japan Intervene Again? In the currency market, the Japanese Yen remains within the spotlight as investors believe the Japanese Federal Government is likely to again intervene. The Federal Government has previously intervened in the past 12 months which caused a sharp rise in the Yen before again declining. The government opted for this option in an attempt to hinder a further decline. Volatility within the Japanese Yen will also depend on today’s US GDP reading and tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. However, investors will more importantly pay close attention to the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy. Investors will be keen to see if the central bank believes it is appropriate to again hike in 2024 as well as comment regarding inflation and the economy. In terms of technical analysis, breakout levels can be considered as areas where the exchange rate may retrace or correct. Breakout levels can be seen at 166.656 and 166.333. However, the only indicators pointing to a decline are the RSI and similar oscillators which advise the price is at risk of being “overbought”. Always trade with strict risk management.
