Hey all,

I have a question/request.

I want to compare current real-time volume to previous days.

Example: today on CL at almost 9:00 CST, the volume is ~97K. I would like to compare this number to previous days, and more specifically Tuesday's, if possible. It would be great to have an indicator which calculates the volume for XX days/weeks/months, whatever, and then compare to the current volume level. An average may make sense as well.

So, if today is 97K, was last Tuesday around 97K at the same time?
Was the 5/10 day average volume for CL also around 97K at 9:00 CST?

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks,
Gary

Something similar to what I am looking for, for 7. I need it for 6.5.

Thanks.

I think I look at it before, no way to adapt it for 6.5
ask them for dual access then you can run both 6.5 and 7 at the same time on dif machine.

Hey Luke,

Call me "old school", but it still does the trick.

I may look at going to Multicharts once they have a final product with the DOM. Mike already converted my 1 indicator.

For now, I'll stick with what is working.

Oh, and ...

Gary
