Calculate with volumetric data

[tonynt]

Hello,

I have 2 questions referring to volumetric bars please:

* how can one get the information if the maximum volumetric ask of a bar is at the low of the bar please?

With "if(Lows[0][0] == +barsType.Volumes[CurrentBars[0]].GetMaximumVolume(true,outprice)+" at price: "+price))"?

* And is it possible to get the information how many trades occurred at bid and ask of the bar?

Thank you!

Hello Tony,

Thank you for your note.

When you say 'if the bar' do you mean the current Close price?
if (Close[0] == Low[0])

You can get the current ask price and current bid price with GetCurrentAsk() and GetCurrentBid().
You can get the ask / bid volume for price level with GetAskVolumeForPrice() and GetBidVolumeForPrice().

Hello,

thank you for your reply. There is a misunderstanding and I assume from my translation that might have caused it.
I didnt mean if close of bar is the low of the bar (which is clear how to do).
I wanted to ask if the maximum of asks (maximum ask number of volumetric bar) is at the low of that volumetric bar...(then set eg bool "maxaskofbarisathelow=true")

From the helpguide I see that we get the price with highest ask number with "+barsType.Volumes[CurrentBars[0]].GetMaximumVolume(true,outprice)+" at price: "+price))""
and I want to set eg a bool true when this price is the low of the bar.

I hope I could explain better now what I mean.

Thank you!

Hello Tony,

To confirm, you want to loop from the high to low to find the highest volume value, once the highest value is found you want to compare that price to be equal to the Low[0]?

Hello,
thank you for your reply. Yes this is what I need.
But I had not thought to start another calculation process in an indicator or strategy as I thought from the "basic syntax" I saw in helpguide with "+barsType.Volumes[CurrentBars[0]].GetMaximumVolume(true,outprice)+" at price: "+price))" that this is giving the price with highest asknumber, no? Why do we need another loop (CPU PC) through the bar when from this snippet there is the price for maxask already? I thought one needs only to check if this price is the low or high of bar. Is my understanding wrong?

Thank you!

Hello Tony,

Is GetMaximumVolume() providing the value you need and resolving your inquiry?
