Cumulative Volume(Delta Buy/Sell) Indicator

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

This indicator was posted by Ben, for use with NT

 

"Delta Buy/Sell Volume, Tick volume or Tick count

Hello everyone,

 

I've made a sweeping change to the cumulative delta indicator and posted it to this message. It is one indicator that lets you choose from the following 3 cumulative delta types:

1) Bid/Ask Volume

This is cumulation of the volume at the Ask - volume at the Bid

2) UpTick/DownTick Volume

This is the cumulation of the volume on upticks - volume on downticks

3) Tick Count

No volume in this calculation, just the sum of upticks - downticks

 

I believe this is a more efficient handling of the incoming market data and it may lead to resolving some of the "discrepancies" in the cumulative calculation. Please test it and report back to this thread.

 

Another enhancement in this version is you can completely turn-off the individual bar delta values (which were plotted as green and red dots in prior versions). This will prevent any undesirable scaling issues with the panel.

 

Let me know if you have any questions! Please test this indicator and report back.

 

Enjoy!

Ben

Sorry if I am being dense, but I did not find any code to "test" this indicator. Would you please re-check your attachment status (or just tell me I messed up...).

 

Thanks,

Anyone has the attached file ?

Thanks,

 

No, but this will get you started if you use TradeStation or Multicharts . . . There is one input, and it is for the start time of the session you trade.

 

input:startT(0930);

vars:vdelta(0);

 

if t>=startT and t[1]<startTthen

vdelta=upticks-downticks

else

vdelta=(upticks-downticks)+vdelta;

 

plot1(vdelta);

 

if vdelta>0 then

setplotcolor(1,green)

else

setplotcolor(1,red);

 

I am not totally convinced by the statements in the opening post. Volume at the Ask can only ever be Volume on Upticks - when the market ticks up it trades at the Ask. Buy stops and market orders counterparty with sell limits there.

 

What you really need to try and find is a way to work out is whether the volume that is traded on any particular leg (lots of buying, say) is mostly traders buying to establish a new position, or traders buying to exit an existing (short) position. If they're buying to establish a new position and you know that a load of traders just got long, and then the market begins to move against them, then you know there are a whole bunch of people sitting on a losing position that they're going to have to bail. Now, can you predict where they will bail? Where are their stop losses all sitting? As soon as their stops start to get get hit, that's just going to drive the market even lower . . .

 

Hope that's some help.

    • In Italy, I saw many of our brothers from different parts of Africa, sleeping and living in the park, the weather was very cold and its obvious that they were looked down upon. It made me want to cry and several questions overwhelmed my heart.   Is it not better to remain in Africa than to be homeless in this freezing cold weather?   I wish I have all the money in the world to rescue them...   Is this the reason why our skin color is looked down upon?   Do our government officials see this sight when they also travel outside of the country...does it hurt them or pain them like it pained me?

    • Date: 28th March 2025.   Market Selloff Deepens as Tariff Concerns Weigh on Investors     Global stock markets extended their losing streak for a third day as concerns over looming US tariffs and an escalating trade war dampened investor sentiment. The flight to safety saw gold prices surge to a record high, underscoring growing risk aversion. Stock Selloff Intensifies The MSCI World Index recorded its longest losing streak in a month, while Asian equities saw their sharpest decline since late February. US and European stock futures also signalled potential weakness, while cryptocurrency markets retreated and bond yields edged lower. Investors are scaling back their exposure ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected announcement of ‘reciprocal tariffs’ on April 2. His latest move to impose a 25% levy on all foreign-made automobiles has sparked fresh concerns over inflation and economic growth, prompting traders to reassess their strategies. Investor Strategies Shift Market experts are adjusting their portfolios in anticipation of heightened volatility. ‘It’s impossible to predict Trump’s next move,’ said Xin-Yao Ng of Aberdeen Investments. ‘Our focus is on companies that are less vulnerable to tariff policies while taking advantage of market dips to find value opportunities.’ Yield Curve Signals Economic Concerns In the bond market, the spread between 30-year and 5-year US Treasury yields widened to its highest level since early 2022. Investors are bracing for potential Federal Reserve rate cuts if economic growth slows further. Long-term Treasury yields hit a one-month peak as inflation risks tied to tariffs spurred demand for higher-yielding assets. Boston Fed President Susan Collins noted that while tariffs may contribute to short-term price increases, their long-term effects remain uncertain. Gold Hits Record High as Safe-Haven Demand Rises Amid market turbulence, gold prices soared 0.7% on Friday, reaching an all-time high of $3,077.60 per ounce. Major banks have raised their price targets for the precious metal, with Goldman Sachs now forecasting gold to hit $3,300 per ounce by year-end. Looking Ahead As investors digest economic data showing US growth acceleration in Q4, attention will turn to Friday’s release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. This data will be critical in shaping expectations for future Fed policy moves. With markets on edge and trade tensions escalating, investors will closely monitor upcoming developments, particularly Trump’s tariff announcement next week, which could further dictate market direction.   Always trade with strict risk management.
