Chris's Enhanced Volume For ThinkOrSwim
Buy / Sell Volume Pressure Percentages
View attachment 913
Buyers and Sellers is not information available in the data feeds.
When we look at the movement of price in comparison to volume, it is called Volume Pressure.
The scripts discussed here are representative of the PRICE spread compared to the overall volume spread.

We create a percentage for buying and selling pressure by using the candlestick patterns weighted volume.
Volume Pressure identifies the price movement which when aggregated with volume it is used to define MOMENTUM not actual buyers and sellers.
You can't apply the momentum percentage to the volume number and declare that to be the number of buyers and sellers.

My understanding is that ThinkorSwim does not provide a "true" cumulative volume indicator on its platform similar to Tradingview or other more updated scripting capacity platforms. to be explicit ,TOS does not aggregate the individual spread difference for transactions spread between buyers and sellers during the actual auction process as it unfolds. (In my opinion scalpers especially favor cum delta volume because it shows the internal tension in a moment by moment unfolding process.) All the volume studies I have personally observed on usethinkscipt.com theads seem to have as their goal a "workaround" for this lack of precision and information. Given what I have seen so far, there is no perfect way to perform a true cumulative delta volume indicator in thinkorswim. Please feel free to reply and further enlighten me about this subject. One last comment: even with the cum delta volume study, I have personally observed many, I repeat, many false short term breakouts and reversals even in the most robust index like spx, spy and index options. Whatever signal a TOS trader uses to drill down into the internal auction process I suggest that it is critical pay attention to the tick indicators and the cumulative tick indicators along with all these (Mobius Volume Waves, Buy, Sell vol,

This is useful as a workaround for the reality that unlike Tradingview, there is no actual cumulative delta indicator on TOS (the accumulation spread between buyer and seller in the transactional auction process. Aside from that this is an excellent tool to decipher the internal tension over the selected time period in which you are trading. U could add a cumulative tick indicator across the price section (for the major indexes) in order to get a clearer picture of how the auction, price discovery process is unfolding. I take comfort that I have observed that the cumulative delta indicators on other platforms lead to many false breakouts and short term reversals. Do not despair as the only perfect indicator is already inside you. No single electronic signal will replace you when you are in total synchronization with the market. Thanks to everyone working on this thread. Very creative workarounds.

@MerryDay is there a volume indicator that shows the volume percentage of buy or sell through out the entire day, so i can see how volume and price move together? if not is it possible to create one?

Hey Everyone,

Need some help. Trying to plot the buy and sell volume averages on upper chart. I managed to get buy and sell to plot with the point at close, but can not figure out the crossover formula buy crosses below sell and vice versa. Thank you!
Maybe an ema cloud possible?

input AvgTypes = averageType.EXPONENTIAL;
input BuyVolumeAvgLength = 18;
input SellVolumeAvgLength = 18;

def buyvol = round(((high - open) + (close - low)) / 2 / (high - low) * volume(), 0);
def sellvol = round(((low - open) + (close - high)) / 2 / (high - low) * volume(), 0);
def buyvolavg = MovingAverage(AvgTypes, buyvol, BuyVolumeAvgLength);
def sellvolavg = MovingAverage(AvgTypes, absValue(sellvol), SellVolumeAvgLength);
#def buyvolumeaverage = if buyvolavg crosses below sellvolavg then sellvolavg else Double.NaN;
#def sellvolumeaverage = if sellvolavg crosses above buyvolavg then buyvolavg else Double.NaN;


plot BuyVolumeaverage = round(((high - open) + (close - low)) / 2 / (high - low) * volume(), 0);
plot SellVolumeaverage = round(((low - open) + (close - high)) / 2 / (high - low) * volume(), 0);
plot UpSignal = if buyvolumeaverage crosses below sellvolumeaverage then sellvolumeaverage else Double.NaN;
plot DownSignal = if sellvolumeaverage crosses above buyvolumeaverage then buyvolumeaverage else Double.NaN;

BuyVolumeAverage.setDefaultColor(color.GREEN);
SellVolumeAverage.setDefaultColor(color.RED);

 

[mashume]

@Epic_Trades
You've got your up and down signals looking for the same thing... If you replace buy and sell averages with 'a' and 'b' for explanation, you have:
a crosses below b
and
b crosses above a
which are the same thing. Unless I'm missing something. Which is possible.

You need something like this:

plot UpSignal = if buyvolumeaverage crosses above sellvolumeaverage then sellvolumeaverage else Double.NaN;
plot DownSignal = if sellvolumeaverage crosses above buyvolumeaverage then buyvolumeaverage else Double.NaN;

And then you can change them to be arrows or dots or whatever you want:

UpSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
DownSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);
UpSignal.setDefaultColor(color.GREEN);
DownSignal.setDefaultColor(color.RED);

You also have both BuyVolumeAverage and BuyVol defined as the same thing, but you're only plotting the first. There is no averaging going on in your BuyVolumeAverage definition though there is in the definition for BuyVolAvg, but you don't use it in the Signals plots either. To clean up your script then:

input AvgTypes = averageType.EXPONENTIAL;
input BuyVolumeAvgLength = 18;
input SellVolumeAvgLength = 18;

def buyvol = round(((high - open) + (close - low)) / 2 / (high - low) * volume(), 0);
def sellvol = round(((low - open) + (close - high)) / 2 / (high - low) * volume(), 0);
plot buyvolavg = MovingAverage(AvgTypes, buyvol, BuyVolumeAvgLength);
plot sellvolavg = MovingAverage(AvgTypes, absValue(sellvol), SellVolumeAvgLength);
buyvolavg.setDefaultColor(color.GREEN);
sellvolavg.setDefaultColor(color.RED);

plot UpSignal = if buyvolavg crosses above sellvolavg then sellvolavg else Double.NaN;
plot DownSignal = if sellvolavg crosses above buyvolavg then buyvolavg else Double.NaN;

UpSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
DownSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);
UpSignal.setDefaultColor(color.GREEN);
DownSignal.setDefaultColor(color.RED);

I did the editing here in usethinkscripts editor rather than launching ToS, so there may be a couple of typos... if it doesn't run, just come on back if you can't find them.

I modified the Buy and Sell Volume indicator
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...ssure-indicators-labels-for-thinkorswim.8466/
to plot a "buy" moving average and "sell" moving average. When the two cross, it helps to show a trend reversal.

I included some code to plot when the two cross up or down. Unfortunately, it's only showing the "cross down" and doesn't show the "cross up" plots. Can someone help me get the "cross up" to show?
