Hi, I have just found this great code and was wondering if there was any way to modify the code in order to have a second Volume bias compute day trading total volume bias. So, basically we'd get two volume bias inticators on the same chart, one showing current volume bias from the current bar (2 min in my case) and another one showing volume bias since the beginning of the trading day...

 

thanks!

anything is possible...

 

if you can imagine it,

visualize it,

quantify it,

articulate it,

you can code it.

 

I would suggest you to start with the EasyLanguage manual.

 

 

Don't forget to post your code!

Hi,

 

Tradestation wont help you with a custom indicator. The indicator did not work for me either.

 

What you might want to try is the "Volume Ratio" indcator in TS, it will give you the same info. but on a line instead. A very underated indicator in my opinion.

The ratio of the Volume Bias revolves around the Easy Language reserved Words:

 

  • Upticks
  • Ticks

 

  • Upticks - Returns the number of ticks on a bar whose value is higher than the tick immediately preceding it.
  • Ticks - Total number of Upticks and Downticks

 

As an example, I created a one line indicator: (TradeStation)

 

Plot1(Upticks/Ticks, "Tick Ratio");

 

That one line of code is all you need to plot a lower study that shows the ratio. Of course, there is all kinds of different formatting that can be done. The main calculation is: "Upticks/Ticks" That's it. If I wanted to see when the ratio goes over 50 percent, I could add a center line at 0.5

 

Plot1(Upticks/Ticks, "Tick Ratio");

Plot2(0.5, "Center Line");

 

Now you have two lines of code.

 

If you want the ratio as text on the chart, this one line of code will do that:

 

Value1 = Text_New(D, T, H*1.001, NumToStr(Upticks/Ticks,2));

 

That one line of code puts the ratio over the high of the bar.

 

If you want it to be in different colors, or only display on the current bar, and not all the bars, or do other formatting, that is more lines of code. But the basics are very simple.

Are there any upgrades about code?

 

what kind of upgrade are you looking for?

 

I have a few more enhancements and variations to the original code,

but I have not decided on what to do with them yet.

      Hello traders,
      I am interested in order flow trading and I will post some trades and predictions, some articles and ideology of a bit different understanding how price moves and why. May be this forum will be the right place. So, for the start I have  couple of charts of recent trade on oil. Also I did some comparison of two different software. Would be great to meet some traders who use order flow too. Lets see. I have a lots ideas and strategies to share. I don't use any traditional indicators, because just numbers are important for me.

    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
