Error volume indicator

Hello and good sunday to everybody. I made an indicator which try to define the directional volume. When i plot the directional volume alone, it gives me positive and negative volume. The problem is when i make the cumsum instruction that sums up the directional volume (like the obv), where sometimes doesn’t work. I add the plots of 2 stocks where it works and where it doesn’t work (it remains flat at 1 valour) and the code of my directional volume. Can you help me to fix it? Thanks a lot Max c1=open-close[1] c2=close-open c3=(range-(abs(c2)))*2 c4=abs(c1)+abs(c2)+c3 c5=100/c4*c1 c6=100/c4*c2 c7=(volume*c5)/100 c8=(volume*c6)/100 dirvolume=c7+c8 c9=cumsum (dirvolume) return c9 as "acc/disrt", 0 as "0"

```
c1=open-close[1]
c2=close-open
c3=(range-(abs(c2)))*2
c4=abs(c1)+abs(c2)+c3
c5=100/c4*c1
c6=100/c4*c2
c7=(volume*c5)/100
c8=(volume*c6)/100
dirvolume=c7+c8
c9=cumsum (dirvolume)

return c9 as "acc/disrt", 0 as "0"
```

I sometimes get weird results when using volume in indicators. You can try something like this. Not tested as I don’t have my platform open at the moment.
```
if volume > 0 then
c1=open-close[1]
c2=close-open
c3=(range-(abs(c2)))*2
c4=abs(c1)+abs(c2)+c3
c5=100/c4*c1
c6=100/c4*c2
c7=(volume*c5)/100
c8=(volume*c6)/100
dirvolume=c7+c8
c9=cumsum (dirvolume)
endif
 
return c9 as "acc/disrt", 0 as "0"
```

Hi Vonasi, thanks,

I’ve tried but it gives me the same result.
