Below is a list of volume-based technical indicators (studies) that are
available with our charts.
Modulated Volume
- Volume activity typically follows certain predictable patterns throughout the
trading day. High levels are prevalent immediately after the opening and toward
the close. Lower values are usually seen around noon.
Up/Down Volume
- When analyzing volume, it is important to identify the prevailing price trend
that dominates a specific timeframe. An analysis of market prices is not
complete without a consideration of the associated volume action. Conversely,
volume data should never be analyzed in isolation. Only a careful consideration
of both factors will give you a clear picture of the current market.
Volume Moving Average
- A volume moving average (VMA) represents the average volume generated over a
given period of time. For example, a 9-period VMA represents the average volume
produced over the past 9 periods, including the present bar.
VMA Displaced
- The Displaced VMA (Volume Moving Average) takes the current volume moving
average and shifts it forward or backward in time by a specified number of bars.
The mathematical principles of a moving average will always make it follow or
lag the actual volume data. By centering the VMA, you can obtain a more accurate
picture of the VMA in relation to the volume.
SBV Oscillator
- The SBV oscillator calculates the difference between the volume that is
generated as the index advances and the volume that is generated as the index
moves lower.
SBV Histogram
- The SBV Histogram is an advanced version of the SBV Oscillator that applies
MACD Histogram principles to the SBV Oscillator.
Selling & Buying Volume
- We define Buying Volume as any volume that is generated as the price moves
upward. We define Selling Volume as any volume that is produced as the price
moves lower.
Market Volume
Oscillator - The MVO is based on the PVO (Percentage Volume
Oscillator) and Stochastics, one of the most popular volume and price technical
studies. Combining the power of two different indicators in one provides the
means to analyze price and volume at the same time.
Advance/Decline Momentum Volume - Decline Momentum volume
is volume of stocks (issues) that have fallen in price compared to their close
on the previous bar. Advance Momentum volume is volume of stocks (issues) that
have risen in price compared to their close on the previous bar.
Advance/Decline Volume
- Declines Volume is the running total (cumulative sum) of the number of shares
traded of all those securities in the declines group for a given time period.
Advances Volume is the running total (cumulative sum) of the number of shares
traded of all those securities in the advances group for a given period.
Advance/Decline Volume Oscillator
- The AD volume oscillator is widely used to assess market breadth and also as
an indicator of market strength. When advancing issues outpace declining issues,
the advance-decline line moves higher. Conversely, the A-D line moves lower when
the number of declining issues is greater than the number of advancing issues.
Advance/Decline Volume Ratio
- The A/D volume ratio is the line at which you can see at each point of time
(horizontal scale). It is the result of dividing the advancing volume by the
declining volume (vertical scale).
Advance/Decline Volume
Percentage Oscillator - The Advance/Decline Volume PO (Percentage
Oscillator) is a percentage version of the Advance/Decline Ratio. The
Advance/Decline PO (the same as the Advance/Decline Ratio) permits you to
measure and analyze advancing stocks in relation to the declining stocks.
Accumulation / Distribution
- The Accumulation/Distribution Line was developed by Marc Chaikin to measure
the cumulative flow of money into and from an index or security. The
Accumulation/Distribution Line can be compared to the OBV (On Balance Volume),
which adds or subtracts volume, depending on the closing price.
Chaikin Money Flow
- The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) Oscillator is based on the
Accumulation/Distribution by normalizing it to the easy to analyze range between
0% and 100%. The Chaikin Money Flow Oscillator is used in technical analysis as
measurement of buying and selling pressure with a purpose of generating trading
signals.
Chaikin Oscillator
- The Chaikin Oscillator (named after its creator) is the next step in the
accumulation/distribution concept and enables you to analyze buying and selling
pressure in smaller, unchanging numbers.
Money Flow Index - The
MFI (Money Flow Index) is a momentum technical indicator that can be compared to
the RSI (Relative Strength Index) in both calculation and interpretation.
On Balance Volume -
The On Balance Volume is a cumulative total of the negative and positive
volumes, where negative volume is the volume during a price decline and positive
volume is the volume during a price advance.
Percentage Volume Oscillator
- The volume oscillator facilitates a mathematical evaluation of volume surges.
Using this tool, you can gauge the impact that a volume surge might have on the
market. Large positive oscillator values are indicative of significant volume
surges.
Volume Accumulation Oscillator
- The Volume Rate of Change (Volume ROC) is identical to the ROC (Rate of
Change) technical indicator, which displays the percentage difference between
the current Volume and the volume n-time periods ago.
Below you may find a list of volume based technical indicators (studies) which
are available with our charts.
Volume ROC - The
Volume Oscillator is used to show the difference between two VMAs (volume moving
averages) with the purpose of determining whether the overall volume trend is
increasing or decreasing, as well as evaluating the magnitude of the volume
surges (abnormal volume activity).
Volume Oscillator
- The Volume Oscillator is very similar to the PVO (Percentage Volume
Oscillator), except that the PVO evaluates volume in a percentage scale (from
-100% to +100%) with 0% as a center line, while the Volume Oscillator evaluates
volume in absolute numbers with 1 as a center line.
McClellan Oscillator
- The McClellan oscillator is calculated as the difference between the fast
(shorter moving average) and the slow (longer moving average) exponential volume
moving averages of the advances volume.
