Building a VolumeProfile Indicator with EasyLanguage

[BlowFish 10]

You can with the PVP indicator in the indicator section. I posted one which does not use ADE in a thread somewhere. Can't remember where exactly.

[ValueTrader 10]

peak volume price... however with the two codes posted here im not sure how or if you can refer to the pvp on a trading strategy

 

That comment says more about you, than it does the indicator....

 

May i suggest you look around the forum, and research uses for PVP before you post detrimental remarks about particular codes.

[gustavonmendes 10]

I'm not being detrimental about the code, I already know a few uses for the PVP, I'm just not good with programming so I wasn't sure if the codes posted here give you the PVP or not.

BlowFish, thanks a lot, I will search for it

There are 2 reasons why I prefer ASCII:

First I know that you can plot a limited numbers of lines (trendLines) in a chart, so if I'd like to plot a daily histogram on many days, it would limit my plot.

 

Second it's a personal preference and in my opinion ASCII mapping like "------------" is easier to save with ADE and quicker to load as indicator than TLines, but its just my opinion.

Here form the first post 2 different resolutions using lines and ASCII:

 

 

Folks in this image we see the POC, while if I want see the PVP, how could I do?

 

I?d like to see a line for POC and Another for PVP.

 

I don't undesrtand what is exactky the difference, and what is the best, could you explain please?

Grazie tuccio, senti hai skype ti va di sentirci per una chiaccherata?

 

Ci vai a mechanica a Milano?

 

Volevo chiederti se per visualtrader per visualtrader puoi postare il PVP e il POC, mi sembra che già lhai con le linee blu? ti ho posto su investireoggi perchè sul FOL mi hanno bannato e non posso mai piu scrivere.

 

A presto

ma quale Visual Trader a quale Milano :crap::crap:

 

Sto pubblicando una guida sull'analisi dei volumi con Multicharts sul fol :missy:

[bomberone1 10]

Ho visto un grafico che hai postato sul FOL con il PVP su visualtrader, dove sotto hai postato il codice vwap per visualrtader, puoi postare anche quello per avere il PVP, per favore?

[tucciotrader 10]

allora non vuoi capire...quel grafico su VT è approssimativo e non ha la precisione di Multicharts...ma credi che se il prezzo su VT si trovi su una deviazione standard non vuol dire che si trovi veramente li!!! con VT è tutto sballato perfino il PVP e anche il VWAP...se fai trading usando quest indicatori su VT ti farai molto male...perchè gli indicatori su VT non rispecchiano la realtà di quello che sta succedendo sul mercato....

[bomberone1 10]

tuccio grazie per i chiarimenti, quello che cercavo di capire è notare quanto i valori sono diversi da multicharts e visualtrader per fare un confronto. L'unica cosa è che per i titoli italiani e futures fib e minifib, sono costretto ad usare VT per avere i dati e lo storico, ho provato a fare il collegamento DDE con multicharts ma non regge, bisognerebbe farlo con le API che traderlink te le da anche il fatto è cjhe non sono programmatore, quelli di MC magari ci metterebbero 2 secondi a collegare il feed di VT su MC.

 

Non mi è chiaro questo

 

ma credi che se il prezzo su VT si trovi su una deviazione standard non vuol dire che si trovi veramente li!!!

??

 

 

 

allora il vwap lo hai pubblicaro ed effettivamente ci sono valori che ogni tanto non tornano perchè lo ho confrontati.

 

Il PVP vorrei confrontarlo anche quello ecco perchè te lo chiedo, poi magari la cosa segnalarla all'assistenza traderlink per vedere se migliorano, cerco di fare qualcosa di costruttivo, solo che non ho i codi, tu mi sembra che riuscito anche a codificare il volume bias o sbaglio?

 

Lo so che se devo fare trading seguo i valori di mc e non di Vt, però è anche vero che non ho bisogno di una ferrari,. In ogni caso mc la compro a fine mese, ideale sarebbe atrtaccatala a directa e prendere i dati da li.

 

Quindi se puoi manda i codi oer vt, ciao.

 

PS

Hai fatto un bellissimo lavoro sul FOL su mc, complimenti.

ciao.

[tucciotrader 10]

Non è una questione di "Ferrari", ma vuoi davvero paragonare il flusso dati di Zen-Fire a quello di Directa???? I codici per VT li ho postati una volta sul forum di investireoggi e poi ho fatto un paragone tra una giornata di trading monitorata contemporaneamente su VT e Multicharts entrambi con gli indicatori caricati e a fine giornata mi sono messo a ridereeeee....Inoltre se metti VT a 1 tick e carichi il PVP dopo 15 minuti crasha...questa anche perchè il linguaggio di VT è limitato...non è un linguaggio di programmazione completo come quello di Multicharts..per non parlare del VWAP su VT...una barzelletta ahahahahah...

[bomberone1 10]

Potresti per favore inviarmeli in pm, i codici per visualtrader del pvp, volume bias ecc... non li riesco a trovare, ho trovato solo quelli del vwap con le 2 sd. Grazie mille.

Secondo te fare presente questa discrepanza a directa e a visualtrader cambierebbe qualcosa?

Per caso hai provato anche con metastock e prorealtime o la T£ per capire come se

la cavano nel confronto ?

[tucciotrader 10]

Non posso postarteli perchè non li ho più in quanto ho disistallato tutta la cartella VT perchè mi dava problemi con l'antivirus e poi non uso più. Fare presente queste cose a Directa e company non cambierebbe niente...a loro poco importa, il loro business va già bene così (l'amministratore delegato di Directa una volta è intervenuto sul fol dicendo che questa dei volumi è solo una moda passeggera). Non esiste nessun Volume Bias per VT.

 

Continuiamo la discussione sul fol prima che ci caccino da quà...

[bomberone1 10]

Any upgrades or improvment?

[bomberone1 10]

Is it possible post the last version of the indicator?

[markhammon 10]

Anybody could help me please,

 

I tried to use the code in the post 38 and it compiles ok but when I try to insert the indicator on a 1 tick chart it gives me the following error msg:

 

- Can't open/create file: "C:/temp/VolumeProfile.txt". -

 

Anybody could help me please.

thanks

You need to Save As : What ever name you want to call the file.

 

Sounds as if you're trying to insert the original .txt file and not the .el or .eld code.

 

Hope this helps.

Hello ValueTrader,

maybe I explained myself not correctly.

I already imported the code in Power Language Editor of Multicharts and I gave to it the name "Volume profile" and it compiled perfectly.

The problem rise when I try to insert the indicator in a 1 tick chart giving me the error that I reported: - Can't open/create file: "C:/temp/VolumeProfile.txt". -

thanks

[onesmith 10]

Manually create a directory named C:\temp\ and then try running the indicator again.

 

[edit] The forum software interpreted the name of the directory I specified as some smiley face but you should be able to make sense of the concept anyway.

try it on a 60 min chart, or a day chart...

[markhammon 10]

Thanks onesmith, thanks Tams,

I created the file VolumeProfile.txt in C:/temp.

When I open a chart with 30 minutes candles 50 days history and I insert the Volume Profile indicator I get the answer: - Message Error in study "Volume Profile" : : Array bounds. Wrong index value : -4."

The last number "-4" change changing the number of history days.

It is -4 with 50 days history and it becomes -24 with 25 days history.

Could you pls. help me.

I have no clue about the meaning of the message error.

Many thanks

what instrument you are charting?

[markhammon 10]

what instrument you are charting?

 

Hello Tams,

I am charting the 6E (the euro-dollar future).

thanks

mark

[onesmith 10]

Mark, the file error is caused by the use of forward slashes rather than back slashes. The out of bounds error (on 6e) occurs because the index is keyed directly to price rather than something like index=p+offset to center price in the array; There's also a conceptual error that no one has mentioned, where the reserved word volume should be changed to ticks.

[JimMM 10]

I never knew where this indicator originated from....

Over the years I have been playing & trying to figure out the code... There are a lot of ambiguous ValueNN references that who knows what they reference.

 

Anyway... There are a lot of user defined inputs in my re-coded TPOpro indicator...

you are able to turn off different plots like the textLables , change line colors, and even change the ABC Text profile histogram to whatever symbol you like ( "_", "+","*","-","8")
