Buy Sell Volume Pressure - Alternate Indicator For ThinkOrSwim

[thebewb]

All,

Someone asked this be transcribed from: https://sites.google.com/site/karthikmarar/buying-and-selling-pressure-indicator

See associated blog post: https://karthikmarar.blogspot.com/2012/09/buying-and-selling-pressure-indicator.html

I am not an expert on the underlying language, so I may have lost some things in translation but it plots nicely. Its pretty much the same as @horserider's Hot Volume here: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...r-with-hot-percent-for-thinkorswim.389/page-5 but it looks slightly different visually.

See code below:

def nv = V/Vavg;

nsfraw.setDefaultColor(color.red);

input showPlot = yes;
plot nbf = if showplot then ExpAverage(nbp * nv,20) else no; ### shows net buy pressure * volume as % of average
plot nsf = if showplot then ExpAverage(nsp * nv,20) else no;### shows net sell pressure * volume as % of average
