Looking volume indicator

[gyoung]

I am looking for a simple volume indicator that show up & down volume for each price action bar.

e.g. 1 minute bar with 100 volume 60 up and 40 down will show 100 with a different scheme for up and down.

I thought there was one already available.

TIA, Gary

Hello gyoung,

Thank you for your post.

There is a "VolumeUpDown" indicator which comes preconfigured that will show you the volume traded in a different color depending on if the current bar is up bar or down bar.

Please let me know if this is not what you were looking for.

Matthew,
I was actually looking for something different than VolumeUpDown.
I was looking for an indicator that showed how much volume was up/down for each bar instead of whether each bar is totally up or down.
Kinda like EdsVolume in NT6.5 file sharing section but a little more simple.
EdsVolume is OK but does not work with Historical data.
thanks,
Gary

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of a current indicator that will display this.

There are a number of those in the File Sharing section of the Forum. Here is one example: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/forum/local_links.php?action=jump&catid=1&id=53

Actually that is 3 different indicators, each plotting the information in a different way.

Thanks,
I see how these calculate the buy/sell information in real time but I am trying to find something that does this historically.
Looks like I will have to run something in background and capture the data for later use.

Try using the Gom Indicators.

Hi all,

I recently signed up for a free trial version of financial algorithm's (partner with NT). Everything works okay except the bid/ask charts.
The bid/ask only displays up/down tick calculation and NOT the traditional bid/ask at volume. I've tried changing the settings to show the bid/ask volume at price but it keeps showing the up/down bid/ask calculation.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I would call them and ask for support to getting them working correctly.
They should be able to get it resolved fairly quickly.

I've tried but so far it's a back and forth game that hasn't gone very far. I was hoping someone has used this indicator and can assist me in getting this issue is resolved.

Check your settings - I think the indicator loads historical data as up/dn tick, then calc's bid/ask live (providing you have set it that way). Reason is NT currently has no useable way to compute bid/ask history.

Thank you rt-trader! You are right! I have been going crazy for the past few days trying to figure what the issue might have been!
One last question you might be able to answer.
I notice there are bid/ask prices on forex now. Knowing that volume doesn't really exist in the market, what do the bid/ask numbers represent in forex?

[rt-trader]

Buying and Selling prices - thats it.

If you want to trade Forex markets and use volume, then try using the equivalent futures product.
