buysellvolume bars look fishy on 7.0

[ct]

I was modifying the buysellvolume to show what percentage was larger the buy or sell on the price action. It works fine but the buy sell bars don't look right to me now.

issues: see attached image.

Note the 92% green number the bar looks about 50%.

The 9089 red bars don't look right either.

If you look at the second image there is a 100% bar, The vol bar is definitely not 100%.
It was a down bar which doesn't make sense with 100% buyers.

I displayed my raw numbers on the chart for debug and they are right. Double checked my math but it is pretty simple: (buys / sells) * 100) and (sells / buys ) * 100). I check for 0 to get the 100% bars.

Comment?

ct, does the BuySellVolume indicator look different in NT7 vs NT6.5? As for your custom coded indicator, if you could post the complete indicator we'll be able to tell you what is wrong with it. As far as I can tell, it is working correctly. With the way you have the math set up, it is possible for you to get bars with extremely large values (it is also possible for you to get a divide by 0 error, but that is another story).

I have a feeling this code could be what you're looking for:

buyPct = (buys / (buys + sells) * 100);
sellPct = (sells / (buys + sells) * 100);

That way, the scale is corrected so it never goes above 100%.
