These are two seperate indicators, one for US date format users (mm/dd) and
the other for British date format users (dd/mm). The differences are pretty
obvious and shouldn't need explanation once pasted seperately into the
indicator builder (to create two indicators) and dropped onto a chart.
The purpose of the indicator is to show the distribution of volume (by
price) over a selected period of any EOD chart. This is done by dividing the
price range for the selected period into 10 sub-ranges, and then summing the
volume for each sub-range. The volume is displayed as a horizontal histogram
with one bar placed in the centre of each price sub-range. The histogram is
boxed on three sides, top and bottom showing the extremes of CLOSE for the
period, and the left (almost) vertical line showing the starting bar of the
period being checked.
The first draft of this indicator was tied to the hard right edge of the
chart and and allowed the user to specify how many price bars to include in
the "volume by price" calculation. One or two people suggested that it would
be of more use if it could be moved to different areas of a chart, selected
by date, and that's what these two examples do.
There is a "scaling" feature that can be used to extend the highest volume
bar for the full width of the box, where every other bar is increased in
proportion. The same option caters for setting the volume bars to the actual
percentage of total volume. this is purely cosmetic to allow for different
user preferences.
One possible use would be to confirm support/resistance areas based on
relatively high (or low?) volume in a particular price range. There is no
way this can be used in an exploration or system test because of the
extensive use of the LastValue() function to create the various line
displays. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that a system test (non
visual) version could be created but to date feedback has been low
suggesting little interest in "volume by price" tools.
The attached gifs should give you some idea of how to set up and use the
indicator.
The 12 bar version (not posted on this forum as far as I can recall) has not
been adapted to use start and end date settings, and to do this would
probably require the removal of the scaling option. The 20 variable limit is
a major factor in limiting the number of volume bars (price sub-ranges) than
can be displayed.
