Hi, I found out that photon platform offers a feature on their barcharts that will make the bar grow in width when the volume is large. Does anyone know of any other platforms offering a similar volume indicator?

Thanks

This indicator is FANTASTIC! Must have. Churn bars are so important when in a position. can give you the chance to get out of a trade sooner then later!

@ginx10k: If the bars weren't painted, they would be invisible.

Please have a look at the indicator dialogue box. The color codes are explained.

If you still have questions, please post a chart and tell us what you worry about.

It paints the bars. I just found the setting for upbars and downbars. But my original question. Does anyone still use this Successfully?

Why can't I find a forum post on it? Does anyone have a specific method for using these signals. I'm just trying to get some information on it. any help is appreciated!!!!

if you really want to know and don't mind doing the work, google 'volume spread analysis' then start by reading the VSA pdf first.

I studied VSA for 1.5 years. I'm asking if these BETTER VOLUME indicators work well, and how to use these Specifically! and If anyone is actually using Them. or the Official Ones from the e-mini site. looking for Feedback from users, nothing else.

thanks!

if you studied VSA for 18 months, I assume you understand how volume works, you don't need color, sound on volume, plain volume indicator on NT is enough.

@supermht

in the manner that the VSA guys attempt to capitalize and sell, sell, sell and more selling, and then exclusive membership after membership after membership, and then lifetime license after lifetime license only to see them add a new version that requires repurchase because your prior $2,000 software purchase has been short lifed and the new version of same has no upgrade path, hence they fraudulently keep selling same all over again....

in the manner that the VSA guys espouse, then you do need some cut through the noise indicator help, whether identifying the churn bars (based on your interval of the chart, and longer term charts are better than scalping / short term charts)...

just curious what your findings were?
