Power Volume Indicators

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

NinjaTrader includes several powerful real-time volume based indicators that give traders a profile where trades are executing relative to the bid or ask.

 

BuySellPressure Indicator

The BuySellPressure indicator displays both the current bar's buying and selling pressure as percentage values based on the categorization of trades as buy or sell trades. Trades are categorized in real-time as a buy (at the ask or above) or as a sell (at the bid or below).... Trades in between the market are ignored. This is a real-time indicator only. It functions only on real-time data and therefore does not plot any values on historical data. If you change any property, interval or instrument on a chart, this indicator will restart and any accumulated real-time data plots will be lost.

 

BuySellVolume Indicator

The BuySellVolume indicator displays a real-time horizontal histogram of volume categorized as buy or sell trades. Trades are categorized in real-time as a buy (at the ask or above) or as a sell (at the bid or below) and then color coded .... Trades in between the market are ignored. This is a real-time indicator only. It functions only on real-time data and therefore does not plot any values on historical data. If you change any property, interval or instrument on a chart, this indicator will restart and any accumulated real-time data plots will be lost.

 

Volume Profile Indicator

The VolumeProfile indicator plots a real-time volume profile as a vertical histogram on a chart. Each bar represents the volume (number of trades) that accumulate at each bar from the time the indicator is started or re-started on the chart. Bars are color coded to represent number of buys (trades at the ask or higher), sells (at the bid or lower) and neutrals (between the market). This power volume indicator provides you with instant feedback to gauge where support and resistance levels are and if their is accumulation or distribution taking place at those levels. A cyan colored diamond is automatically drawn at the starting bar of the VolumeProfile indicator.This is a real-time indicator only. It functions only on real-time data and therefore does not plot any values on historical data. If you change any property, interval or instrument on a chart, this indicator will restart and any accumulated real-time data plots will be lost.

 

Volume Zones Indicator

The VolumeZones indicator plots a horizontal histogram on the left side of a chart that indicates volume levels on historical. The length of each bar represents the cumulative total of all volume bars for the periods during which the closing price (user defined price type) fell within the vertical price range of the histogram bar. Each bar is color coded to differentiate up (Close > Open) and down (Close < Open) volume. This indicator is designed for use against historical data only and NOT intended to be used on real-time data. Use the "Volume Profile Indicator" for real-time data.
