El’s Better Volume

El’s Better Volume

Hi all

Thought id share my Better Volume indicator to contribute something to the site 🙂 this is my solution to a problem as i felt other better volume indicators out there were over complicating the problem. I used a few MA’s and the built in RANGE() to clean it up.

A link about ‘Better Volume’ and how to interpret it…

You may need to change the colours around for better visability on your background. Feel free to mod it asyou like.

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting this, I downloaded your first version of Better Volume and it works really well. So I tried loading your second version when I saw the link and although the file is described as my-better-volume-2.itf it only downloads as my-better-volume-1.itf. Am I doing something wrong, or is it possible the link on your post contains the previous file and not the new one?
    Kind Regards,
    Tony

    Hi Tony, just seen your message. TBH I haven’t made a version 2!, maybe the moderator has done? Its a bit of a funny system on here you cant just add your own indicators and stuff without it going through a moderator first. Here is the code im using mate, keep it simple :)….
    // Variables to add:
    // Label in Program = \"vMA\", Label in properties window = \"Volume Moving Average\", Type = int, Default = \"50\"
    // Label in Program = \"vPercentLower\", Label in properties window = \"Low Volume %\", Type = int, Default = \"50\"
    // Label in Program = \"vPercentHigerr\", Label in properties window = \"High Volume %\", Type = int, Default = \"80\"
    // Label in Program = \"BarRanger\", Label in properties window = \"Bar Range\", Type = int, Default = \"50\"

    //Change all indicator styles to \"Histogram\" apart from teh two volume moving averages : LowVolume, HighVolume ..... keep them as lines or make them invisable

    VolumeMA = Average[vMA](VOLUME)

    LowVolume = (VolumeMA - ((VolumeMA * vPercentLower) / 100))
    HighVolume = (VolumeMA + ((VolumeMA * vPercentHigher) / 100))

    Vol = VOLUME
    ONCE HVLRU = 0
    ONCE HVLRD = 0
    ONCE HVHRU = 0
    ONCE HVHRD = 0
    ONCE LVLR = 0
    ONCE LVHR = 0

    c1 = VOLUME > HighVolume AND RANGE < Average[BarRange](RANGE) AND CLOSE > OPEN
    IF c1 THEN
    HVLRU = VOLUME
    Vol = 0
    ELSE
    HVLRU = 0
    ENDIF

    c2 = VOLUME > HighVolume AND RANGE < Average[BarRange](RANGE) AND CLOSE < OPEN
    IF c2 THEN
    HVLRD = VOLUME
    Vol = 0
    ELSE
    HVLRD = 0
    ENDIF

    c3 = VOLUME > HighVolume AND RANGE > Average[BarRange](RANGE) AND CLOSE > OPEN
    IF c3 THEN
    HVHRU = VOLUME
    Vol = 0
    ELSE
    HVHRU = 0
    ENDIF

    c4 = VOLUME > HighVolume AND RANGE > Average[BarRange](RANGE) AND CLOSE < OPEN
    IF c4 THEN
    HVHRD = VOLUME
    Vol = 0
    ELSE
    HVHRD = 0
    ENDIF

    c5 = VOLUME < LowVolume AND RANGE < Average[BarRange](RANGE)
    IF c5 THEN
    LVLR = VOLUME
    Vol = 0
    ELSE
    LVLR = 0
    ENDIF

    c6 = VOLUME < LowVolume AND RANGE > Average[BarRange](RANGE)
    IF c6 THEN
    LVHR = VOLUME
    Vol = 0
    ELSE
    LVHR = 0
    ENDIF

    RETURN Vol COLOURED (153,153,153) AS \"Normal Volume\", HVLRU COLOURED (46,139,87) AS \"High Volume Low Range UP\", HVLRD COLOURED (178,34,34) AS \"High Volume Low Range Down\", HVHRU COLOURED (248,248,255) AS \"High Volume High Range Up Bar\", HVHRD COLOURED (0,0,0) AS \"High Volume High Range Down Bar\", LVLR COLOURED (160,32,240) AS \"Low Volume Low Range\", LVHR COLOURED (255,165,0) AS \"Low Volume High Range\", HighVolume COLOURED (216,191,216) AS \"High Vol MA\", LowVolume COLOURED (216,191,216) AS \"Low Vol MA\"
