Volume Direction in Strategy Wizard

[Brody]

We are trying to program a strategy that uses amount of up volume vs down volume in each bar.

We can see this on the chart by pulling up the data box when we have vol colored up as an indicator.

HoweverI can find no way to set this as avalue in the wizard ??

To be sure I understand....

Do you want to access up volume values and down volume values and perform some form of comparison? If yes, youneed to create a custom indicator that plots only up volume and an indicator that plots only down volume. Once these are created and compiled, you they will show up in the Condition Builder and can be used for comparisons.

Apart from actually writing the indicator itself, I suggest reviewing the custom indicator development section, review the available tutorials. You do have to get your hands dirty and program the indicators themselves.
