Plot bid traded vs ask traded

Postby Abhi » 08 Jun 2016

Hi, I want to plot cumulative volume on the ask side and bid side for a bar, but all it plots is upticks vs downticks. Anybody has any idea how to calculate cumulative volume on the bid and ask side.

This is very similar to cumulative delta but with more info. Easylanguage code below.
[+] show the code

Code: Select all

Variables:

TickSize( MinMove / PriceScale ),
VolumeDelta(0),
TotalVolume(0),
VolumeUptick(0),
VolumeDowntick(0),
LeftMostLocationOnChart(0),
VerticalLocation(0);

VerticalLocation = GetAppInfo(aiLowestDispValue) + TickSize;
LeftMostLocationOnChart = GetAppInfo(aiLeftDispDateTime);
VolumeDelta = UpTicks - DownTicks;
TotalVolume = UpTicks + DownTicks;
VolumeUptick = UpTicks;
VolumeDowntick = DownTicks;

Value99 = Text_New(Date, Time, 0, " ");
Text_SetString(Value99, "Delta" );
Text_SetLocation(Value99, Date, GetAppInfo(aiRightDispDateTime) , VerticalLocation + 3*TickSize);
Text_SetStyle(Value99, 2, 2);
Text_setColor(Value99, Yellow);

Value98 = Text_New(Date, Time, 0, " ");
Text_SetString(Value98, "Total Volume" );
Text_SetLocation(Value98, Date, GetAppInfo(aiRightDispDateTime), VerticalLocation);
Text_SetStyle(Value98, 2, 2);
text_setColor(Value98, Cyan);

Value97 = Text_New(Date, Time, 0, " ");
Text_SetString(Value97, "UpTicks");
Text_SetLocation(Value97, Date, GetAppInfo(aiRightDispDateTime), VerticalLocation + 2*TickSize);
Text_SetStyle(Value97, 2, 2);
text_setColor(Value97, Green);

Value96 = Text_New(Date, Time, 0, " ");
Text_SetString(Value96, "DownTicks");
Text_SetLocation(Value96, Date, GetAppInfo(aiRightDispDateTime), VerticalLocation + 1*TickSize);
Text_SetStyle(Value96, 2, 2);
text_setColor(Value96, Red);

Hi, I want to plot cumulative volume on the ask side and bid side for a bar, but all it plots is upticks vs downticks. Anybody has any idea how to calculate cumulative volume on the bid and ask side.

This is very similar to cumulative delta but with more info. Easylanguage code below.

Open your PowerLanguage Editor and look for this indicator:

Thank you for the pointer. Will have a look.

Re: Plot cumulative volume against bid and ask for a bar

Postby Abhi » 09 Jun 2016

I want to plot the cumulative volume against each bar as opposed to just calculate the cumulative volume. Multicharts support any suggestions.

The cumulative delta chart is not that informative about each bar.

Hello Abhi,

You can set the required resolution as well as the Breakdown type in the Cumulative Delta Chart Type settings.

Hi Henry, Thanks for the note. May be I was not clear in my previous post, apologies. The attached is a ask traded vs bid traded chart.

For the highlighted bar the volume traded on the ask side = 170+352+395+25 = 942

The volume traded on the bid side = 67 + 372 + 756 + 301 = 1496

I want to calculate these volumes for each bar not the upticks and downticks for each bar. And I think this will be very beneficial indicator to other traders. Please could you suggest some tips.

Hello Abhi,

There is no way to calculate these values separately for ask and bid sides in PowerLanguage. Such study can be created in MultiCharts .NET only. In PowerLanguage you can get the total Delta value per bar (Close - Close[1]) on Cumulative Delta chart.
