Having trouble getting volume values to appear in title bar.

[Tidan]

I can get them to appear in a seperate volume indicator I wrote but not with this one. Anyone have any ideas?

Note how the volume values are not appearing in the title bar where it says N/A:

#declare on_volume;
declare lower;
#declare zerobase;

#to display volume as over/under instead of overlaid.
input over_under = yes;

def V = volume;
def O = open;
def C = close;
def H = high;
def L = low;

def buying = round(V*(C-L)/(H-L),0);
def selling = round(V*(H-C)/(H-L),0);

#irrelevant code snipped#

################################################################
# Option 2 - Total volume is colored red and buying volume is green and layed over
# total volume to show red up top and green below. Can use total volume and
# uncomment SellingVolume for all three to be displayed(must change totalVolume color to gray).
################################################################

# Sell Volume
#Plot SellVol = selling;
#SellVol.setPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
#SellVol.SetDefaultColor(getColor(5));
#SellVol.HideTitle();
#SellVol.HideBubble();
#SellVol.SetLineWeight(1);

# Buy Volume
Plot BuyVol = if over_under == no then buying else double.nan;
BuyVol.setPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
BuyVol.SetDefaultColor(getColor(6));
BuyVol.HideTitle();
BuyVol.HideBubble();
BuyVol.SetLineWeight(5);

# Total Volume or paint red to show sell vol up top and buy vol at bottom
plot TotVol = if over_under == no then volume else double.nan;
TotVol.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HISTOGRAM);
TotVol.SetDefaultColor(getColor(5));
##TotVol.SetDefaultColor(Color.Gray);
TotVol.HideTitle();
TotVol.HideBubble();
TotVol.SetLineWeight(5);

# colored label to show whether buy or sell volume is higher
AddLabel(if over_under == no then yes else no, " Trend ", if buying > selling then color.UPTICK else if selling > buying then color.DOWNTICK else color.GRAY);

@Tidan I just installed that code and enabled those either yesterday or the day before... I just checked all of the checkboxes in the Study Settings Panel for the Study as well as those for each plot in the lower section... You can then turn off any you don't want, like bubbles for the plots... You might also notice that I added the ability to select the average type foe the average line... I just can't leave code unmodified...

How did you get the letters "SV" and "BV" to appear in the title? I like that.

@rad14733 I think mine works a little different than yours. Mine shows the total sell volume at the top of the bar and the total buy volume at the bottom. Here it is broken down into a pos/neg histogram. As you can see the volume number value shows up correctly for my pos/neg histogram but on my overlaid/single bar histogram the number value shows N/A.

Update: I found the issue - I had HideTitle() enabled in the code, I'm a dunce.
Question: is it possible to put hideTitle() in a conditional argument? I've tried but its being rejected.

How are you creating the pos/neg histogram in the top indicator in the photo? Mine always looks like the bottom indicator.

@DudeDastic In the Study Settings Panel you just need to check the Show title checkbox for those two plots... Another option would be to place a comment tag "#" at the beginning of the BV.HideTitle(); and BV.HideTitle(); lines, or delete those lines, within the script so they are enabled by default...

To create the over/under(pos/neg) histogram you can either convert the sell volume to a negative number, e.g.

Plot sVol = selling - (selling * 2);

Or you can simply prefix it with a minus sign.

Plot sVol = -selling;
