<span
>Andrew/ Dusant,
<span
>from a layman’s
point of view it seems pretty simple. If the data provider gives out every
trade as a price and volume at a time, than all that needs to be done is to
flag each trade as a hit on a bid or offer. Then cumulating them becomes a
simple matter. The rest follows. Catching Block trades is just a simple matter
of running a filter which flags trades with tick volume greater than whatever
limit u set. I use a proprietary live feed…which is net based….but
they provide data only for the Indian markets …so I wonder if you would
be interested. Dusant ?

Mr. Tomlinson /
superfragilistic,
There is one
logical way to separate the buying volume from the
selling volume. We assume that if the offer
is taken then it constitutes a
buy and if the bid is given then it constitutes a
sell. There is a counter
running that cumulates the volumes on the bid and
on the offer. One usually
gets a very good indication of what the dominant
pressure is and where there
is a pressure shift by plotting the difference of
these two running totals.
This is also great for picking up accumulation and
distribution days when a
divergence occurs. Price goes up on net negative
volume (volume at bids are
greater) on a distribution day and vice versa.
Obviously this works only on
intraday data with tick volume. My two bits for
what its worth. Hope it
helps.
Best Regards,
Vignesh Eswar

No offense taken,
particularly as I have only just understood the
point you
are trying to make
(my slowness, not yours). Actually I'm still a
little
confused - as there
is a buyer and a seller to every trade, how can
you
separate out the
volume associated with buys from that associated
with
sells? The only
thing close that I can think of are the indicators
that try
to allocate volume
according to the nature of the price move, like
Chaiken
Money Flow, or which
track the size of trades on up or down ticks,
like
Birinyi's Money
Flow Index, so as to try to take a guess at
separating
customer from
dealer volume. What am I missing?

I don't mean to be
obstinate. I understand from your post you're
using this as a
visual aid. However, it's a misleading visual aid
that most of the
newbie's aren't going to understand. They are going
to think that they
are looking at a volume bar that is totally made
up of the volume
that was up or down. The formula is passed around
without an
explanation as if it's a way around something that should
have been done in
MS to begin with.
You may be able to
keep the meaning of this visual aid straight in
your mind, but most
people can't. They see those red bars and those
green bars and they
think down or up, not total volume with some of
the volume up and
some down.
The only volume
that is given in MS is total volume. That needs to
be
made clear to
newbie's. There's no way around using total volume and
total volume is not
up or down volume, it is both added together.
In the example I
gave regarding the NYSE, you'll find many days
where
the up volume is
higher than the down volume but the price of a
tracking stock like
the SPY (closet thing we have to a tracking
stock- -you
could use the
index) still declined.
There are services
that provide up and down volume for each symbol,
but you have to use
an additional program running with MS, which
means you can't
incorporate the numbers into MS for analysis, unless
you export them to excel
and import then into MS daily.
