Up Down Volume Ratio by 3iauThis script considers the total volume within a user specified time frame, and whether price closed higher or lower at the end of each period within that time frame.
EXAMPLE:
* If the time period of interest is 50-periods, the script considers the volume within each of those 50 periods beginning with the most recent closed period.
* SumUpVol = the sum of all volume occurring within only those periods where price closed higher than that of the previous period.
* SumDnVol = the sum of all volume occurring within only those periods where price closed lower than that of the previous period.
* Difference = the difference between SumUpVol and SumDnVol = SumUpVol - SumDnVol
* Total = the sum of SumUpVol and SumDnVol = SumUpVol + SumDnVol
* The plot will present the change in Difference divided by Total = Difference/Total = (SumUpVol - SumDnVol)/(SumUpVol + SumDnVol) occurring within those 50 periods. What will be plotted is the moving average of this value. The user can specify the moving average type and the number of period for which the average is calculated.
* The plot needs to be fitted into a range, for example, +/- 50 (default) or +/-100, by multiplying the result of Difference/Total by a user specified constant. The constant will contain the majority (not all) of the values within +/- the specified value.
* Range = the user specified constant. If Range = 50, the majority of values plotted will be fall within the range +/- 50.
* Therefore, what is plotted is the moving average of Range * Difference / Total.
* When the value = 0, accumulation = distribution over the user specified 50-periods time frame.
* When the value is positive, accumulation > distribution over the user specified 50-periods time frame.
* When the value is negative, distribution > accumulation over the user specified 50-periods time frame.
This plot allows one to see possible accumulation and distribution occurring within a particular stock. The slope of this plot must be considered, and not any single value. The selected constant (“Range” in the example above) does not have an effect on the slope of the plot.
Three values may be plotted at once, for comparison of accumulation or distribution occurring over different time frames. For example, compare Difference / Total calculated over a 50-periods timeframe with 10-periods timeframe, both time frames beginning with the most recent closed period.
In addition to the above, J. Welles Wilder’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) can be plotted over the Difference / Total.
NOTE: this script is not the same as the more commonly used Up/Down Volume Ratio defined as SumUpVol / SumDnVol over a 50-periods time frame, where SumUpVol = the sum of all volume occurring within only those periods where price closed higher than that of the previous period, and SumDnVol = the sum of all volume occurring within only those periods where price closed lower than that of the previous period.

Up Down Volume Ratio = SumUpVol / SumDnVol
Up Down Volume Ratio by 3iau = the moving average of Range * (SumUpVol - SumDnVol) / (SumUpVol + SumDnVol) Indicator
Split VolumeThe Split Volume indicator displays 'Upwards' and 'Downwards' volume with an additional method for distributing 'split' candle volume.
A 'split' candle is a candle whose direction is...'Split'...since the open and close are equal. (Ex. Doji)
Upwards and Downwards Volume is tracked by comparing the Open and Closes of the Lower Timeframes.
If the Close is Greater-than the Open, we track the Volume as 'Upwards' Volume.
If the Close is Less-than the Open, we track the Volume as 'Downwards' Volume.
If the Close and Open are Equal, we assume that the Volume is an even split 50/50, and track it as such.
The indicator pulls data from lower timeframes to achieve more granular Open,Close,& Volume Data
Specifically:
<5m Timeframe: 1 Second LTF
<60m Timeframe: 5 Second LTF
<1D Timeframe: 1 Minute LTF
>1D Timeframe: 60m LTF
We have also included some nice-to-have features
50% Volume Line: This line splits each columns in half, this is used as quick reference to see exactly which side the volume is on.
High Volume Candle Identification: We are detecting bars with high relative volume and coloring them on the upper chart for use as important zones.
Status Line Readouts: The Status line for this indicator is formatted for simple reading. It Reads(Left-to-Right):Total Volume, Downwards Volume, 50% Value, Upwards Volume
