I would wait for a retest of 1.4375. If it is on low volume, the a south-bound train is in the station. Cheers, no more charts from me........

Aggressive profit taking...

Yeah i can definate;y see 1.4375 coming into play agian... the last 1hr upthrust bar has given me a little more confidence to take a short here though... SL @ 81 anyway... see how she goes.

Here's the 1hr EURUSD upthrust... really need to see a break to the downside for it to mean anything though...

UPDATE:

30min upthrust followed by no demand bar. Break of 1.4343 confirms short signal (in my humble, and flawed opinion)

TaoMQL4,

Do you think you could plot the difference between the two over (x) number of periods (count_bars) as a line or histogram +/- around a 0 line?

... That would be a very handly little indicator...

Here is something similar that I made awhile back, but I haven't been using it. Try it out if you like. Was trying to find a easy way to spot Accumulation or Distribution.

Added a routine so that can also be used with 5 digit brokers.

Good day to you kind Sirs, just popped the better volume 1.3 on my chart, where can I find what the different volume bar colours represent? Just off hand the red bar looks very much like climatic buying (or selling) at interesting points of support and resistance.

Any tips would be great.

Good day, Ferrari.

Hi Chaos,

Have seen that Ducati roaring around the THV thread.

IMHO VSA and THV on longer time frames are a good combination.

Take care out there

Thanks for the heads up, yeh I found the 1.4, so I'm just using the high volume high spread bar (red), high volume low spread (green for churn), regular bars, and yellow bars for low volume.

This is going to be interesting combining it with no brainer trading... like an alien-human hybrid (I like the X-files ok??)

Thanks!

Hello Sir.,
is it possible to get this volume indicator with Your configuration ? Or someone other have Better volume indi with those configuration?

Thank You.

B,
Tom
Here is basically the better volume indy with some changes to the code to match HiddenGap's configuration.

I changed some of the colors but you can change them to whatever you like. Don't know if I got the deviation part right, but seems pretty close.

Maybe one of the more experienced coders could give it a quick glance over as I am not that experienced at coding.


Royal Blue: Volume bar is greater than the previous volume bar.

Dark Blue: Volume bar is less than or equal to the previous volume bar.

Magenta: Volume bar is less than the two previous volume bars. This is key for No demands and tests type bars.

Red: Climatic action (range*V) highest high value 20 and volume increasing from previous bar.

Maroon: Climatic action and volume less than or equal to previous bar.

Purple: Climatic action and volume less than the previous two bars.

Yellow: Lowest volume bar in the last 20 bars.

Volume bars will also show the "climatic volume" colors if the volume is greater than or equal to 3 standard deviations of the average volume for the last 30 bars.

macman,
THV + VSA =



Ferrari,
no worries, i'm into paranormal stuff. lol

yes, VSA can help by letting us know if S/R will hold or not, instead of us entering blindly into trades near/at S/R's. VSA can also help in timing our entries.
BRV's NBT + VSA =


Scottstone,
effort appreciated.
yes, there are great coders here, just in case code revisions are needed.

The first one is a helper indicator for the second one. It's been designed not to print anything to the screen in isolation.

I did try it a while back, and it does seem to indicate some important bars, but I no longer have it on my charts, as I've gotten accustomed to reading charts.

Many thanks for the clarification.
