[amibroker] Re: (Price * Vol ) as a new indicator?

Anyone?

Here is why I can't get past first base with volume indicators.

I have made some quick and dirty changes to Tomasz's Price * Volume 
code.

If it is plotted it tallies the number of times that a (vol + price)
up day is followed by a win (another price upday).

In some old DJI components data I find that the result starts to 
approach 50% quite quickly (approx 2600 data points).

Given the inherent errors in such a quick and dirty method it is 
around what I expect for a no-win signal.

(for the deep thinkers 50/50 is the binomial equivalent of the golden 
mean).

a) Insert the code into a new indicator pane.
b) Scroll back to the beginning of a chart to see all of the plots 
and cross-check the outputs against the chart.
c) Scroll to the end of the chart to get symbol by symbol totals.
d) Use the keyboard arrow keys to scroll down the symbols list.

//P_VolPriceSynchronization
//adapted from code by Tomasz Janeczko

//Lookback = Param("Change lookback", 1, 1, 100 ); 

//ChgPrice = ROC( C, Lookback ); 
//ChgVolume = ROC( V, Lookback ); 

ChgPrice = ROC( C,1); 
ChgVolume = ROC( V,1); 

BothUp = IIf( ChgPrice > 0 AND ChgVolume > 0, 1,0); 

//Period = Param("Sum period", 25, 1, 100 ); 

Plot( Sum( BothUp,1), "UpVolANdPrice", colorRed );

Upday = ROC(C,1) > 0;

Plot(Upday, "CloseUpday", colorBlue,2 );

TotalUpdays = Cum(IIf(Upday,1,0));

TotalBothUp = Cum(BothUp);

Plot(TotalBothUp, "TotalBothUp", colorBlack);

BothUpWin = Upday == 1 AND Ref(BothUp,-1) == 1;

TotalBothUpWin = Cum(IIf(BothUpWin,1,0));

Plot(TotalBothUpWin, "WinFollowsVPDay", colorGreen);

If the raw signal is not significant can we improve on that by using 
some form of mathematical conditioning?
