Traders know that paying attention to volume can make the crucial difference in understanding how the market will move. Information such as the traded volume, frequency of executed trades and the correlation of buyers and sellers at a certain time period expand our understanding of volume and can significantly improve the accuracy of our trading forecast.
The Volume at Price (or VAP) indicator displays the cumulative traded volume for each price level during a time period, as well as the correlation of buyers and sellers agression, through the use of horizontal bars, such as a Market Profile. This feature expands the volume information into more detailed components, making it possible to identify points of support or resistance, at price levels which account for big traded volumes.
Features:
- columns for price and volumes
- horizontal bars are aligned to the price level and represent the cumulative volume traded at that price.
- bars are proportional in lengths to the volume traded at that particular level during thetime period.
- bars also show the cumulative agression of either Buyers or Sellers, using different colors (green for buyers; red for sellers; light gray for direct deals).
Important: The Volume at Price indicator only works if the broker provides all tick information for the symbol. As long as the broker provides this information, the indicator works both in exchange or futures market. You can check your terminal (Times and Sales) in order to find out whether your broker provides this information for the trading instrument. Also important to note is that the indicator should be installed in a plain chart, without any other indicator or EA.
