BuySell Volume indicator

[Davide999]

Hi,
I'm pretty new here, Sorry for mistakes.
I would to know how BuySell volume indicator works. I have for example a 2000 ticks bar with 2000 total volume in this bar. In the mentioned indicator i see: 2000 buys and for example, 1560 sells. And this happen for each bar of each session, always the buys value is grater than sells value: how it is possibile? It is very strange...
How i have to read this indicator? I mean, if the buys are always more than sells the market will go up for ever...
Moreover, i saw that the buys values is always equal to the total volume of each bar.

Let me know.

Thanks

Hello,

This indicator measures the number of trades executed at the ask (buys) and number of trades executed at the bid (sells). This is then aggregated into one bar, showing the total volume.

Hello,
Yes, i understood this, but why buys are always greater/more than sells?
Moreover, the buys value is equal to the total volume of the entire bar....in my opinion this is not correct. I put 2 images that dimostrates that...please see the images. TOTAL volume = BUYS value

Thanks

Hello,

The 'buys' display shows the total volume for the bar while the sells display shows the number of sells. The number of trades executed at the ask would be the difference between the two.

While I can't recommend certain indicators, this particular indicator is more of a visual display, while other volume indicators such as buysell pressure or some of the order flow tools may be more useful for exact volume numbers.
