Ticks Volume Indicator 1.1
Ticks Volume Indicator 1.1
In the futures markets, the data on trade volumes are reported with a one-day delay. To compensate for this, many analysts use the tick volume indicator (tick volume™): it allows you to track volume changes during the trading day.
Tick volume indicates the number of deals concluded over a certain intraday period but does not show the number of contracts per deal. Thus, it can make, for example, 50 deals per hour. But the number of contracts concluded for each deal is not clear from this figure. There could be, for example, 50 one-lot orders or 50 hundred-lot orders. From this point of view, the tick volume does not reflect the true volume. However, it is still a valuable indicator because it is the only one that allows you to measure the volume with less delay, although at the expense of accuracy.
This is the main information on the TVI indicator, I had tinkered with it in many ways and found out how to use it. Because of this, Alerts and drawing arrows on the chart were added to signal the user about the possible entries.]
Hints:
It can be used on the major currencies like this: turn on the М5 chart, then the indicator levels are LevelUp = 4 and levelDOWN = -4, buy or sell according to them. It is recommended not to go against the trend too much, but in fact, a lot of the signals turn out to be against the trend — the so-called corrections, and the indicator also determines the reversals. This can be seen on a history backtest.
For instance, to work with gold — XAUUSD — then on its M5 chart: levelUP = 40 and levelDOWN = -40 (the usual *10).
For the different timeframes, the levels are individual. Using MM and averaging makes this a good system. Enter against the trend with caution.
