  This indicator displays how many buyers and sellers are trapped into their positions. These figures are calculated by comparing the price they entered their positions, to the current price +- trading fees.

  This indicator also features an option to account for trading fees, so that it can be used as reliably in the real world, on real people as much as possible!

  The chart is a simple zero-line cross, displaying both buyers and sellers trapped in the form of a histogram.

  Thanks, I followed the link below to post the second request as I thought I’d posted the first one in the wrong place… If that makes sense. So please delete the first request. Thanks

  Please find below the code converted for ProRealTime:

  lookback = 10 //"How many bars lookback?" tradingfees = 1 //"Account for Trading fees?" fee = 0.0 if tradingfees then fee = (medianprice * 0.002) endif trappedbuyers = 0.0 trappedsellers = 0.0 hl2=medianprice for i = 0 to lookback if high[i] > (hl2 - fee) then trappedbuyers = trappedbuyers + (hl2 - high[i]) endif if low[i] < (hl2 + fee) then trappedsellers = trappedsellers + (hl2 - low[i]) endif next return trappedbuyers coloured(0,200,0),trappedsellers coloured(255,0,0)

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

  lookback = 10 //"How many bars lookback?" tradingfees = 1 //"Account for Trading fees?"   fee = 0.0 if tradingfees then fee = (medianprice * 0.002) endif trappedbuyers = 0.0 trappedsellers = 0.0   hl2=medianprice   for i = 0 to lookback if high[i] > (hl2 - fee) then trappedbuyers = trappedbuyers + (hl2 - high[i])     endif if low[i] < (hl2 + fee) then trappedsellers = trappedsellers + (hl2 - low[i]) endif next return trappedbuyers coloured(0,200,0),trappedsellers coloured(255,0,0)
