BarChartDotComVolumes

This indicator displays the contract with the highest EndOFDay or IntraDay volume for a list of unlimited number of instruments. The volume data is fetched form BarChart.com.

I use it to identify when to switch contracts around contract Rollover time since I want to trade the contract with the highest volume. The conventional way traders generally do this is to load the current and next futures contracts in NT Market Analyzer, and watch all the volume there. This forces you to update the contracts list every month, and also takes up NT resources to continually process volume data for multiple contracts.

This indicator uses no NT resources, and you never have to update any contract lists with future contracts. You get the volume information on demand, for an unlimited number of specified contracts.

- Use the 'Symbols' parameter to specify which contracts you want to see.
- Press the 'Vol+' chart button to toggle the display of the text On/Off on the chart

Note: The coding may need to change in the future if/when Barchart.com makes changes to the format of the associated web page the data is fetched from.

Thanks Man, great easy indi, I wanted something that did not take up the whole page just for Vol, and this is just what I needed. Thanks Again.

Color change would be a good adition though as I use Back background, and its a bit hard to see.

I have used this little indicator so frequently that I felt compelled to come back and say a big THANK YOU! I had downloaded it months ago and couldn't find it at first, but after about two hours of searching BMT I found it again. So here i am to thank you for this little gem that saves me so much time and prevents contract rollover headaches

The day has come. www.barchart.com has changed the format! Can the author make the required changes to this indicator? Thanks much!
