MTG Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'm full of questions today. Can someone please explain the color coding in the "last" column with its pale green/red and bright green/red. Also, with the "pressure" column, I think we are looking at the ratio - # trades lifting the offer : # trades hitting the bid - yes? Or are we looking at the volume of stock traded at the bid/offer? And over what time period? Or is it calculated over a number of trades? Is the coloured bar that appears on the far right of the intraday chart the same as pressure? Many thanks.

Jerry Medved Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 LAST color coding - its basically showing the rage %. If Range % is 25, then left 25% of the range will be green, right 75% will be red. Range is High-Low. Range % is (Last-Low)/Range (*100 if you want it as integers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Pressure - volume of trades going off at or below the bid vs at or above the ask - last 30 trades. Both on the quote row and on the side of the charts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTG Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Jerry, What is measured in the "volume %" column please? Is "average volume" taken from the MA on the volume chart? When using Etrade as an intraday source, it doesn't register '# trades'. I feel like it should do that, since the website does have this data.

Jerry Medved Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Volume % is VOL / AVG.VOL Average volume would need to be returned from the datafeed. Only other way is if you open a historical chart and it backfills, MT computes the avg volume from that data at that time. E*Trade does not return avg volume As for # of trades, needs to be returned by the datafeed. I do not see it on the E*Trade AU quote page.

MTG Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Thanks again. I see # trades is on the depth page, but not the quote page. Could it be included from here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 for regular quotes, no. But if you have the Level II/Market Depth open for a symbol, MT does read the # of trades then, while processing the Level II data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
