Compare volumes of today and yesterday between open and current times

[GaiSensei]

Hi all,

I'm looking to create a formula that compares today's volume to yesterday's volume, between 9am and the current time for each day.

Formula should be something like "Yesterday's Volume (between 9am and Current Time) - 24 hours, divided by Today's volume (between 9am and current time)". Output would simply be a percentage, in a box/label, stating how today's volume compares to yesterday's volume, at this same time.

Cannot find a single thing online about a study like this so here I am trying to make it myself! Thanks for any help.

Here is some code by Mobius that you might find helpful. It does not appear to work on timeframes outside normal trading hours as the aftermarket activity is sporadic. If you want the 9am begin time, probably best used for 1hr timeframe charts.

It appears that the prior day matching period only plots after the close of the associated current timeframe bar, which appears to actively accumulate during the bar.

This study will load in the volume panel. If you do not have show volume subgraph checked, the label will not show, unless you move the indicator to one of the other chart panes.
