I'm not sure if this indicator is quite what you want, try it and see...

Try this one :)

 

Out of interest - are you planning to use this indi for scalping ? I can see it being quite useful, I'll be interested to hear if it helps.

Re: (req) the volum of buy and sell in number on chart

 

soundfx,

thanks in advance i gonna search for new method for scalping and divergence

if i be success i share with you sure about that you helped me

i check that it's just number i need number and histogram in background together

again thanks and could you shift the numbers 2 cm down from where it is now X_X

Re: (req) the volum of buy and sell in number on chart

 

I hope the new method works well. Those numbers on the screen are quite handy, I think I'll start using them myself :)

 

If you want to move the text and numbers 2cm down the screen, just change the Y-distance in the code as follows:

 

   ObjectSet("UpTicks2", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 80);
  ObjectSet("DownTicks2", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 100);

 

Are you saying that you also want the histogram on the main chart ? If so, I'm not totally sure how to do that - if anyone else does please let us know!

Re: (req) the volum of buy and sell in number on chart

 

thanks for your time and work

 

Have you given thought to a multi time frame indicator, you could use it as a when to place entry indicator ,

 

It would be nice to see only one line of whoever is in control, the buyer or seller

instead of seeing both

 

Thank you

Hi Todd,

 

Your multi-time frame idea could prove to be handy, I'll see if I can create something.

 

However, I think that we still need to see both buying volume and selling volume as this gives us an idea of the volume strength.

 

Just showing who's in control doesn't mean too much as that should be evident from the chart, however the difference between the two can be much more interesting.

 

For example:

 

Buy: 123

Sell: 122

 

gives a totally different picture to:

 

Buy: 123

Sell: 36

 

However in both, buyers are in control.

Yes you are correct, I did not think of the spread differance, thanks for pointing

that out

Re: (req) the volum of buy and sell in number on chart

 

Hi Guys,

 

I've just found a handy feature in MT4 which I'd not noticed before.

 

If you single left click on "BUYERS VOLUME: 35" for example, then you'll see a grey box appear around it.

 

You can then click and drag "BUYERS VOLUME: 35" and place it anywhere on the screen you like. Single left click again and that new position is locked.

 

The position resets to the original position when MT4 is restarted because the indicator will re-initialise, though this can still be very handy to ensure that the volumes are placed in a blank part of the screen whilst you're trading.

Re: (req) the volum of buy and sell in number on chart

 

Hi Dovadov,

 

Thanks for the idea, however Dark was looking for an indicator which displays the actual numbers on the main chart rather than in an indicator - I see that this indicator is a line chart in an indicator window showing green lines for buy volume and red lines for sell volume.

 

As things stand now, I think that Dark is still looking for the current indicator which shows the buy and sell numbers on the chart to also show a histogram in the main chart (in a similar way to the volumes one which be switched on in the chart properties, though displaying in the same way as the histogram in the original posted indicator).

 

Also, I believe that Todd is looking for a volume indicator which shows the buy/sell volume numbers for other timeframes too in the main chart.

 

For example:

.................... 1M 5M 15M 30M 1H 4H

Buy Volume: 48 83 127 777 768 7319

Sell Volume: 19 37 101 373 352 9378

I think this indi that you looking for

kudos welcome...thanks

 

Enjoy.... :D

 

 

If this can be turned into a multi time frame indicator, to take a look at the volume picture say across three or so time frames, I think it would be brilliant. Is this possible?
