Smoothed Range Volume Ratio is an oscillator based on indicator Range_Volume_Ratio. It shows in a separate window, as a histogram, the candlestick size / tick volume ratios by two parameters:
- Difference between Open and Close;
- Difference between High and Low.
It also displays a signal line plotted by the method of smoothing the histogram values.
The color of the histogram columns can be displayed by two methods:
- By the value of the previous column. If the previous column is above the signal line, then the color is green. Otherwise, it is orange;
- One-color histogram – all columns are of one color.
The indicator has four input parameters:
- Calculation type – type of calculations:
- Open/Close – difference between Open and Close;
- High/Low – difference between High and Low.
- Period – smoothing period of the signal line;
- MA Method – signal line calculation method;
- Colors setting – color settings:
- By previous bar position – histogram column color by the value of the previous column;
- One color – one color.
Calculations:
If the calculation type is Open/Close:
RVR[i] = Abs(Open[i] - Close[i]) / Volume[i]
If the calculation type is High/Low:
RVR[i] = (High[i] - Low[i]) / Volume[i]
where:
Volume - the tick volume of the candlestick Signal = Moving average(RVR, Period, Method)
