Interactive price volume tool?

[bfry5282]

Is there a tool available which will sum up, or integrate volume between a start and an end time interactively? So, start time, end time, and yield the volume in between?

And/or integrate the total area traced out by price above a line with a particular start and end time? So I guess I'm looking for both price and volume integration.

I guess I could write something in EFS but it wouldn't be interactive in the sense that you could drag the beginning and end points. I could just enter start and end dates in an efs Edit Studies, and have it calculate the volume between the two points.

TIA

TIA,
eSignal has a third party provider that does something like you suggest. The program works with price and volume alone in attempts to show market activity and momentum. Its very interesting and might be what you are looking for. eSignal Third Party Integrators and click on MarketDelta. Hope this helps!

bfry,

You can use the mouse click feature to do this. I am most familiar with this application but I know Garth has developed some. FibbGann has done several other nice efs's using mouse clicks (Gann fans) in addition to the previous application I mentioned.

Steve, which "mouse click feature" are you referring to? Is there something in eSignal's client, or are you referring to a third party application?
Thanks!

bfry,

here is an excerpt of the efs function -

Mouse Functions

The mouse functions allow EFS scripts to detect the bar index and
 Y-axis value of a mouse click on an Advanced chart.  To enable 
the onLButtonDown or onLButtonDblClk mouse click functions add 
one of the following to an EFS formula.  However, if both
 functions are used within the same EFS, beware that the 
onLButtonDown function will be called on the first click of the onLButtonDblClk event.

function onLButtonDown( barIndex,  yValue) {

}

function onLButtonDblClk( barIndex,  yValue) {

} 

Based on what you described, using this feature would work well

Regards,

I cut this description from Chris's help file in his fileshare area and the previous post really does not give a good description of the function. If you don't already have it here is the folder from Chris's fileshare area where he keeps the latest copy.

Steve, that's great. I had no idea about the mouse button functions... Thanks!
