Bull Bear Volume for Amibroker (AFL)

Rating:
5 / 5 (Votes 1)
Tags:
oscillator, amibroker

An approximation of the average Bull Volume component versus the average Bear Volume component of total Volume. Displays an interesting and helpful view of the ebb and flow of Bull and Bear Volume pressure in the market. Shows what the bears are up to while the bulls are in control and vice versa. You can see bull pressure building (or bear pressure diminishing) in advance of a bullish price move (especially in sideways markets and horizonal rectangular consolidations). The graph moves in curves from which you can often extrapolate reasonably accurate and useful projections of future Bull or Bear Volume Action.
Description by Olive

(provides a more easily visible display of rising and falling bull/bear

volume convergence) – toggle via parameter window

-posiitive Volume exceeding negative Volume: Light shadow
-negative volume exceeding positive volume: dark shadow
-if you use standard gray background – best shadows are:
-my greys: 14 = (216, 216, 216); 15 = (168, 168, 168));
-best substitute? using AB color constants?
-light: colorpalegreen; dark: colorRose;?
-(depends on your color scheme – customize to your tastes)
