Hi All,
Is anybody able to convert the Better Volume Code for use in Tradovate please?
Link about the indicator here: The Better Volume Indicator [Free Code] | Emini-Watch.com (emini-watch.com)
The Better Volume indicator improves on your typical volume histogram by coloring the bars based on 5 criteria:
- Volume Climax Up – high volume, high range, up bars (red)
- Volume Climax Down – high volume, high range, down bars (white)
- High Volume Churn – high volume, low range bars (green, PaintBar blue)
- Low Volume – low volume bars (yellow)
- Volume Climax plus High Volume Churn – both the above conditions (magenta)
When there are no volume signals the default histogram bar coloring is cyan. The Better Volume indicator also comes in a PaintBar version, so you can see the coloring on the price bars themselves.
