Volumetric MaxVolume Bar Data

[Seastragg]

Hi,

I've been able to figure out how to print the maximum value of both the bid and ask volume and it's price on a volumetric bar with this code below in teal. Since I now know that it's possible to get that information drawn, I'd like to get that price into a strategy where the maximum volume price level is what is looked at in the logic. How can I get the strategy to look at just the price level (not the volume) and uses something like this: if (GetMaximumVolume(null, out price)[0] > GetMaximumVolume(null, out price)[1])

Does that make sense what I'm trying to do?

Thanks,
Jack

try
{
double price;

Draw.Text(this, "test1" +CurrentBar, "" + barsType.Volumes[CurrentBar].GetMaximumVolume(null, out price) + " " + price, 0, High[0] + 8 +TickSize);

//GetMaximumVolume(null, out price)[0] = barsType.Volumes[CurrentBar].GetMaximumVolume;
}
catch{}

Hi Seastragg, thanks for posting.

GetMaximumVolume is the correct method to use for getting the price level where the max volume occurred in a given bar. E.g.

double price1, price2;

barsType.Volumes[CurrentBar].GetMaximumVolume(null, out price1);
barsType.Volumes[CurrentBar-1].GetMaximumVolume(null, out price2);

if(price1 > price2)
{
    Print("signal");
}

Best regards,

Hi Chris,

is the ">" that you have there supposed to be a > ?

Also, instead of print, can it be turned into a true false statement?

Cheers,
Jack

Hi Jack,
That's correct, the forum turned my > to a code. That is a boolean statement that can be used in a condition. I just added the Prints because it's always helpful to use prints to see the data coming from the strategy. I fixed the code above.
