Bear and Bull volume indicator

This code is mainly for Wyckoffians and can be used in accumulation/distribution phases to spot the change of forces.

The volume bars are showing who is stronger in the period defined in the timeframe (more green means that bulls are running the show, in this case, in the weekly period).

The moving averages are showing the same information but based on an historical point of view (when the bull line crosses over the bear line bulls are becoming stronger in the longer period).

I suggest to use a period of 22 or more and always based on the timeframe in use.

Bonjour a tous,

Au vu de la disparite des histogramme ne peut-on pas ramener cet indicateur sur une echelle de 0 a 100
pour avoir une idee plus precise de l evolution des bulls and bears
¡ Nicolas devrait pouvoir nous le faire ! ?

Prorealcode sometimes cuts the codes, I hope it works now

supertiti • 02/05/2018 #
Hello Gabri

This is not what I would like because we do not distinguish the strength of red and green histograms (their junction reported on a scale of 0 to 100 showing us the trend)

the idea is to induce the trend by the biased volumes of the indicator.

thank you for your support

have a good day

gabri • 02/05/2018 #
I am not sure I understand what you mean.

supertiti • 02/05/2018 #
Hello Gabri ,

From this indicator can we have a screener that highlights the histograms entirely red in the last x periods.

thanks for your help

gabri • 02/05/2018 #
Do you want a screener or a code to highlight bars? I don’t understand

supertiti • 02/05/2018 #
I want a screener please

gabri • 02/05/2018 #
I don’t think you will never find an histogram completely red…if that’s what you mean.

supertiti • 02/05/2018 #
Yes yes there are many completely red histograms, it is to set up a strategy.

supertiti • 02/05/2018 #
Hello Gabri

The code as it does not work, I tested it in different markets and countries daily. I also changed the value of lookback to 1 to test, I will only like the results on the last day side.

good Sunday

gabri • 02/05/2018 #
When I run the screener I found only starbucks on the italian market matching the criteria and no stocks on the us market. As I told you I am not sure you can get many all-red bars. Lowering the period (not the lookback value) might help but this will not be a useful result. When I created this code I did it with the idea to help people using the Wyckoff techniques…and this has nothing to do with automatic trading or screening of stocks.

supertiti • 02/05/2018 #
I recently read “the method Wyckoff” by Enrique Diaz Valdecantos, and I found interesting leads following his explanations on volumes.

Your volume indicator comes very well in support of the book.

I like you Starbucks in return.

To isolate the days when the volumes are 100% negative would have helped me to develop my observations, a pity.

thank you for your help cordially

Purtroppo su versione 10.2 non funziona….mi stavo cominciando a documentare su Wyckoff!! qualcuno ha modificato x versione 10.2 PRT ??? Grazie

Se hai copiato e incollato il codice che ho scritto non dovresti avere quel messaggio. Alla riga 12 non ci sono parentesi da generare errori. Riesci a copiare e incollare la tua riga 12?

scusami se ti scrivo solo ora, ma non mi arrivano le notifiche e pensavo non mi avessi risposto.
Comunque io ho importato il file *.itf e non ho copiato il codice.
Essendo nuovo del forum ti dispiacerebbe farmi capire quale copiare ed incollare? quello in alto o quello in qualche post che avete discusso?
Grazie mille

  Hi Gabri,
  
  I am trying to set a simple strategy based on your very cool indicator
  
  Here are the conditions:
  
  BUY = ENTRY :
  
  if the bull-volume-green-bar CROSSES (i.e is superior) the simple moving average of the past 23 bull-volumes
  if the bull-volume-green-bar CROSSES (i.e is superior) the simple moving average of the past 23 bear-volumes
  
  SELL = EXIT:
  
  if the bear-volume-green-bar CROSSES the simple moving average of the past 23 bull-volumes
  if the bear-volume-green-bar CROSSES the simple moving average of the past 23 bear-volumes
  I tried to use the automatic coding system but it does not work; I tried also to code it myself using moving average but it is not working either.
  
  Can you help me on this?
  
  Thanks !
  
  Chris

Hi Guys,

Will it be possible to add “Texts” to this code. When the bull line crosses over the bear line I would like to insert a “BULL” text on the:
1.Corresponding volume bar or histogram on this indicator
2.On the corresponding Price candle. I would like the “Bull” text to appear just above the candle stick.
3.Vice versa for when the bear line crosses the bull line.

Regards,
Segie

gabri • 02/05/2018 #
Segie, I can add text on the graph of THIS indicator. To add text ALSO on the price graph you need to do another code and everytime you change the settings on the bear bull volume indicator you need to change the settings also on the second one….you might end up having not the same info and this is not good in my opinion.

hello, im getting an error when i paste in the code…

return volbear coloured (205,0,0) style (histogram), volbull coloured (0,190,0) style (histogram), mmred coloured (255,0,0) as “Bear average”,mmgreen as “Bull average”

this is the issue, please can you adise me on this

many thanks

  This code should work for all prorealtime trading platform v10.3 onwards.

427trading • 02/05/2018 #
when pasted into the indicator area it says THE FOLLOWING VARIABLE IS UNDEFINED:PERIOD any idea why?

ref=(close-low)/range
volbull=ref*volume
volbear=volume

if close>=open then
greenbarcount=1
greenvolume=volume
redbarcount=0
redvolume=0
else
greenbarcount=0

- Nicolas • 02/05/2018 #
  yes, because it is not defined in the code. I would recommend to download the itf file and import it into your platform to get all the extern variables.

marcov66 • 02/05/2018 #
Very useful indicator! Great! just a question. According to you is it possible to create a double Accumulation-Distribution indicator, with two lines? one for buy volume and one for sell volume. Thanks for your feedback. M
- gabri • 02/05/2018 #
  Hi, this would be the idea behind.

marcov66 • 02/05/2018 #
What I mean is not a bear/bull Average as integrated in the indicator but a new Accumulation-Distribution Indicator able to splitted the buy volume and the sell volume. It means AD buy line + AD sell line. Ho fatto una simulazione in Excel con 3 linee (AD/ADbuy/ADsell). Thanks M

gabri • 02/05/2018 #
Si, dovrebbe essere un accumulation/distribution indicator in grado di dirti quando il mercato diventa bull o bear

marcov66 • 02/05/2018 #
Ciao Gabry, provo a spiegarmi meglio in italiano. Innanzitutto complimenti per l´indicatore. Trovo che la suddivisione che hai fatto tra i volumi in buy e i volumi in sell sia la parte + geniale. Abbinato ai volumi Buy/sell utilizzo l´indicatore Accumulation-Distribution (indicatore di default). L´indicatore classico AD tuttavia, nel calcolo considera i volumi totali per ogni barra senza scindere quelli in buy o in sell. Io ho fatto una simulazione in Excel (non so come condividertela) dove oltre all´AD classico ci sono AD buy e Ad sell. Io non sono un programmatore, ma vedo che tu sei molto bravo. Saresti in grado eventualmente di programmare questo nuovo indicatore con 3 linee AD/AD buy/AD sell? Grazie per il supporto. Un saluto Marco
- gabri • 02/05/2018 #
  Ciao, ora ho capito. Devi aggiungere le seguenti righe:
  
  riga 4:
  ADvolbull = volbull
  ADvolbear = volume – ADvolbull
  
  riga 5:
  BullAD = sum[ADvolbull*((Close-Low) – (High-Close)) / (High-Low)]
  BearAD = sum[ADvolbear*((Close-Low) – (High-Close)) / (High-Low)]
  
  alla fine dell’istruzione return aggiungi una virgola e poi il seguente testo:
  BullAD as “AD volume Bull”, BearAD as “AD volume Bear”
  
  la visualizzazione potrebbe diventare un problema a causa delle scale, disattiva magari quali linee non vedere dalla finestra principale

marcov66 • 02/05/2018 #
Ho provato in questo modo ma da errore:

BearAD = sum[ADvolbear*((Close-Low) – (High-Close)) / (High-Low)]
Return BullAD as “AD volume Bull”, BearAD as “AD volume Bear”

greenbarcount=1
greenvolume=volume
redbarcount=0
redvolume=0
