Sorry Gerard but I am a little pessimistic.

It 'reports' when the ratio of updays/downdays changes, with 50/50 == 
0????

periods = Param("Periods", 34, 1, 200, 1 ) ; 

BulldayVol= ( Sum( IIf( C>=Ref(C,-1), V, 0), periods)) / periods ;
BeardayVol= ( Sum( IIf( Ref(C,-1)>=C, V, 0), periods)) / periods ;

TheDowVolumeBigot= 100-(100/(1+(BulldayVol/BearDayVol)))-50;

Plot(TheDowVolumeBigot,"       THE DOW VOLUME 
BIGOT   ",1,4+styleNoLabel);
 
Colour= IIf(TheDowVolumeBigot>0,8,4);
Plot( TheDowVolumeBigot,"",Colour,2);

Plot(0,"",colorGrey50,styleNoLabel); // The important Neutral level


Plot(10,"",colorGrey50); Plot(-10,"",colorGrey50);
Plot(20,"",colorGrey50); Plot(-20,"",colorGrey50);

//Relative Updays/Downdays

BulldayVol2= ( Sum( IIf( C>=Ref(C,-1), 1, 0), periods)) / periods ;
BeardayVol2= ( Sum( IIf( Ref(C,-1)>=C, 1, 0), periods)) / periods ;

TheDowVolumeBigot2= 100-(100/(1+(BulldayVol2/BearDayVol2)))-50;

Plot(TheDowVolumeBigot2,"       THE DOW VOLUME 
BIGOT2   ",1,4+styleNoLabel);
