$COMPQ Volume Histogram

[shaeffer]

Hi Jay,

I'm amazed - I've been wishing for Nasdaq intraday volume forever it seems, and here it is! Has it ever been modified to show green/red bars for up/down volume (hopefully based on closing values)?

If you want the histogram to be colored based on Close >/< Open then add the following just above the return new Array(vValue, vAvgVol); line;

if(close()>open())
setBarFgColor(Color.green,0);
if(close()<open())
setBarFgColor(Color.red,0);

If instead you want to color it based on the volume being >/< prior volume then add the following

if(vArray[0]>vArray[1])
setBarFgColor(Color.green,0);
if(vArray[0]<vArray[1])
setBarFgColor(Color.red,0);

Hope this helps
Alex

Alexis,
can you also make the histogram colored based on the comparison between the closes of the previous and present periods?

Replace open() with close(-1) in the sample code

Alexis,
Thank you for your prompt reply.

I have another favor to ask of you.

With the attached volume_with MA file, can you also set the color of the bars green or red based on the same close()>close(-1) or close()<close (-1).

I am kind of new and hope that I will learn these things quickly with your help. Thanks again.

In lines 57 and 58 of the script replace vOpen with close(-1)
