This seems like something that should already exist, but I can't find it - so, naturally, I expect someone to point out that it's been hiding right under my nose.
Everyone's familiar with the 2nd-level DOM information: the "ladder" that shows the current volume at the bid, and at the ask. In , it's fairly simple to access this information with the GetCurrentBidVolume() and GetCurrentAskVolume() indicators. I'm looking for an indicator that shows the change in bid/ask volume over the course of the trading day. Optionally, it could apply a moving average to the bid/ask volume.
I'm doing some time-of-day research, and wanted a visual way to observe the change in liquidity over time. For example, In the first two hours of the NYSE trading day, Bid/Ask Volume for the ES would be very high, maybe in excess of 1000 contracts at the bid/ask. Right after the session close, around 5 or 6 pm ET, the volume probably reaches its low for the day.
I could write this indicator myself, but I'm lazy. Plus, I'm just curious as to whether or not somebody's already written it, and it's simply got a name that I'm not anticipating.
