Volume

Indicators core.volume Version 1.0.0

Volume, average and relative volume. Takes the volume of a candle and provides the N-candle average (SMA) and the relative volume: 2.0 means twice the usual volume.

Inputs and outputs

Only matching types connect: number series to number series (round pin), signal to signal (square), message to message (diamond).

Direction	Pin	Type	Note
Input	Volume in	Number series	required
Output	Volume volume	Number series	in the unit of the input
Output	Average average	Number series	–
Output	Relative relative	Number series	–

Settings

The settings appear on the right under “Properties” once the node is selected on the board. Those marked “More” appear after clicking “More”.

Setting	Default	Allowed	Meaning
Candles length	20	from 2 to 500, whole number	–

Example

Notifies you when a candle has more than twice the average volume of the last 20.

On the board it reads: 20-candle average

Good to know

• In messages the values are called “Volume”, “avg volume 20”, “relative volume 20”.
• Warm-up with the default settings: 20 candles (this many extra candles are loaded by the replay before the value is reliable).
• Search also finds it under: volume, turnover, relative volume, average.
