A good measure to see how excited the herd is, before chasing a move. Very Useful when trading explosive stocks like, FNMA , PLUG, USU. I use this to filter when not to chase. Once you get familiar with this. You can trade the stocks with just Volume and Price. Also a good filter on how good a breakout is.

No need for a new study. If you have a good PPO study just go in the settings and change close to volume.
 
@BenTen - I have a question for you about the VPO study. Is there a way to adjust this so that it would ready properly for futures trading during Globex hours?
 
@BenTen - You are correct. Apologies for not explaining that fully. Since the volume is so much lower than during the day, the indicator just drops during the overnight hours. I really like this indicator and am just curious if there is a way to adjust it for Globex hours. Thanks for your time!
 
Ben , How are you?

Can I have percentage volume increase or decrease on my watch list column?

Thank you

Daniel
