PRV -- Pro Rated Volume

 

For the volume hawks!

 

This indicator projects the volume at the end of the bar.

It calculates the PRV based on the current trade pace,

and the time remaining in the bar.

 

This information is useful to spot turning points

ie. whether the money is drying up... or flooding in.

 

This indicator is usable on minute charts only.

 

Instructions:

Set the volume to display as a thick histogram

and the PRV to display either as a thin histogram, or as a thick point.

Does anyone know how I can code Easylanguage for TS2000i to take the word "ComputerDateTime" from the code below with an alternative ? I have tried the word "CurrentTime" but it is not working quite the way it should do. The rest works fine and it is only this that is an issue.

 

 

Paul

 

if date = date[1] then

begin

CurrentTimeInSecs = ( ComputerDateTime - DateToJulian( Date ) ) * 86400 ;

TotSecondsDiff = CurrentTimeInSecs - CurrentTimeInSecs[1] ;

end;

here's the difference between the two keywords

 

 

The indicator needs to find out the Current Time In Seconds, the currenttime keyword can only supply the time in minutes.

 

 

 

 

ComputerDateTime

 

Returns a double-precision decimal DateTime value indicating the computer's current date and time.

 

The integer portion of the DateTime value indicates the number of days that have elapsed since January 1st, 1900,

and the fractional portion of the DateTime value indicates the fraction of the day that has passed since midnight.

 

Usage

 

ComputerDateTime

 

Example

 

ComputerDateTime will return a value of 39448.25000000 for 6:00 AM on January 1st, 2008

 

CurrentTime

 

Returns a numerical value, indicating the computer's current time.

The time is indicated in the 24-hour HHmm format, where 1300 = 1:00 PM.

 

Usage

 

CurrentTime

 

Examples

 

CurrentTime will return a value of 1015 for 10:15 AM

 

CurrentTime will return a value of 1545 for 3:45 PM

when i try to apply it to a chart it says floating point invalid calculation.

 

if you say it does not work, it can mean a lot of things.

I can't really help you when you are providing so little information...

 

what instrument are you applying the indicator to?

what is the chart resolution?

what is the error message? I cannot read your mind. please copy and paste the complete message here. (or make a screen shot).

Tams,

 

I find it quite fascinating that when you post a useful volume indicator on here the

"volume hawks" give it virtually no attention whatsoever . . .

 

Perhaps next time you should post some vague, wishy-washy, and totally subjective claptrap about volume spread analysis and what a 'big' bar means? Your post might get some more attention that way.

 

Anyway, thanks for the code!

The volume hawks are not saying much

because they have already got this indicator years ago.

Pro-Rated volume will never work on forex symbols because forex symbols don't report volume.

 

prv = (ticks/TotSecondsDiff) * 60 * barinterval; // this line triggers the FP Error because the value of ticks is zero.

If you're wanting to trade forex with volume as part of your strategy, you can always apply the indicator to the relevant fx futures contract, which will have volume.

Thanks, that's an excellent solution.

 

Forex doesn't interest me. I solve coding puzzles for their intrinsic value and there's still a lot I can learn from this one. Danhoyda hasn't provided enough details to make sense of it.

You're welcome. I agree it's a great indicator. Thank you Tams ....TXUK's ......and any other's involved that I've missed.

 

I'm curious what you changed???

 

pardon me I got it to work thanks for the help I changed something on the original code and thats why it didnt work. I changed it back and now it is.

 

Thanks.

 

Love the indicator.

I LOVE this indicator. Thank you very much for this. Could someone explain to clearly what exactly it is doing. My code understanding is very limited. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

PRV estimates total volume (of a completed bar), while the volume is still incomplete and developing.

 

The version in this thread extrapolates the rate of developing volume (i.e. it pro-rates the volume) based on the assumption it will remain steady until the bar completes. This is a beginning point from which to begin searching for formulas that can distinguish viable signals. I have extensively developed skills for cataloging data such as this and performing any analysis imaginable. Just so you know in case anyone has an idea worth exploring and needs help implementing it. I don't have anything forsale and never will. I abhor that category of failed traders who fleece sheep to cover their trading losses.

Ha! And then there's that category who fleece sheep but don't have any trading losses to cover because they don't actually trade . . . :)

 

OneSmith has provided me with valuable coding assistance recently and didn't attempt to sell me anything, so I'll happily second his statement above and recommend seeking help from him with coding.

      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: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
