Value Areas - dValueArea

[Creamers]

All credits go to Dean. Meanwhile I added the famous VPOC (also called vpc's) to the code. I want to share this again here...

Can someone explain the difference between the different profile types please.

I just want to show the day's "volume" poc as it evolves during the day. I am unclear about what volume weighted price (vwap?) and volume at close are.

Thanks.

dValueArea plots the evolving VPOC (price where most volume traded). Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) is altogether a different indicator. You can get 'SessionVWAP' indicator for that.

VolumeProfile is also available from other sources.

Good luck,
Kumar.

Thanks kumar, I found my answers in the earlier pages of this thread.

I wrote an oscillator based on the DValue. Now this is on a version which also shows evolving VaB and VaT. The code is messy because Dean's original coding is way beyond my skill level.

The oscillator is really quite good and of course works on all time frames/charts without any input tweaking except start and end times, duration of session. But when the session ends and new one begins the value spikes (somehow it becomes the Close Price I think) and so the display doesn't work properly.

If anyone would be interested in solving this display issue (and generally cleaning up the code), I believe this could be a very helpful indicator, one that can be used to incorporate volume price analysis into system coding rules.

I have attached the code, and also a picture showing the oscillator display kicking out (as the session ended 20 minutes ago), and then scrolling the chart to the left to exclude this time, the oscillator working. The oscillator in question is the one with the magenta histogram.

The chart displays the DValue with RtVAB, RtVAT, RTPOC, also Vwap (magenta) and Ichi clouds in two time-frames.
The oscillator beneath the one in question plots the skew (vwap relative to RtPOC) which is also quite handy. I have posted this somewhere else in this thread.

As always, thanks to Dean V for developing this excellent resource.

(Please, no-one here needs to mention that you can always pay someone to do this!)

hey cclsys,

i have a problem, look at the pic.

thx for help!

Need to put oscillator in a different panel. But the way it jumps around, that's what I could use help fixing (from an experienced programmer type).

[cclsys]

Here is a recent (10 minutes ago) picture showing the the Rt DValue levels (along with the 'predictive' Ichimoku Clouds drawn 27 and 81 bars before they happen) can be so helpful.

There was a big sell off at 3.00 (no doubt a Fed announcement). Note how the price went straight to the blue line (yesterdays VaB price at close). This is not unusual.

[cclsys]

This pic of crude has vertical lines drawn on main chart at points where the oscillator has clearly changed trend. Of note: several times the oscillator 'signaled' just a bar or three ahead of the price breaking out of the Ichi Clouds which often signifies a significant break out level. Anyway...

Again, no inputs to tweak (except start/end of session). It held short very well during some extended bounces prior to big down move. I think this one is worth getting to display right, also to get rid of the bad bars which would throw it off for strategy development purposes but again, I lack the programming skills to effect this.

Is Dean still around?

Hello DeanV

Please can you tell me where I can find the file sharing area? Can you send me the link?

Thanks

Hi bene111,

Try to "Reloasd all historical data"
Usually helps.

@cclsys

Could you show me the setting for your indicator and dValuearea indicaotor?
Thanks.

If anyone was so inclinded I believe a great addition to this indicator would be for the evolving lines to print where they are and when they move leave the original line where it was, stop there and print the new line starting where it moved from. At the moment it just moves the entire line so during the day you will never know where the evolving was before. It is very beneficial to know where the evolving was before. So you would end up with a stair stepping line. Does this make sense to anyone?
