Up down volume help please

[munkee]

I'm trying to use the Updown volume indicator and am having problems quantifying it. How do I quantify red / green - there doesn't seem to be the parameters.

Thanks

Hi munkee, welcome to the forums!

An easy way to quantify it would be to just use volume, and apply the price change to make it "red/green".

If you take a look at the code for VolumeUpDown, the color is set very simply. Values[0] contains the UpVolumes, and Values[1] contains DownVolumes.

if (Close[0] > Open[0])
                Values[0].Set(Volume[0]);
            else
                Values[1].Set(Volume[0]);

Maybe you could try working similar logic into your own application.
