Does anyone have the code for the Directional Volatility & Volume Oscillator? I saw this posted on the Trade Algorithm YouTube site the other day and it looks very interesting.

Release note:
An oscillator that manages to display the direction of volatility and volume in a single indicator. This allows viewing the trend in concert with the volume strength. Thus a trader can check if the price movement has volatility and volume behind it or not.
