Precision Volume indicator (PV) and user function for Tradestation


Your early warning Indicator

This Indicator was conceptualised by Precision Trading Systems in 2001 - It seems like an age ago but it still works fine just as it did before.

For smooth and simple definition of volume action this indicator is good at spotting early signs of trend reversals

Precision Volume Indicator makes its calculation from analysing the direction of each tick on real-time data, to evaluate if there is net buying or selling over the given sampling length.



Important note


Precision Volume requires tick volume, and NOT trade volume otherwise freak readings can result.

Do not use this indicator on static daily, weekly data, as it will not function correctly



Precision Volume (PV)

Shows whether a security is being accumulated (bought) or distributed (sold) over the length assigned by the user.

It is designed as a confirmation indicator and not to be used alone as a signal, purpose is to help you make your mind up when you are in a trade that has a weakening trend, PV helps to illustrate if the trend is really about to turn around or resume its course....



PV is designed to be calculated using intraday tick price data.



When PV is above zero it indicates net buying over the sampling length.

When PV is below zero it indicates net selling over the sampling length.

PV often warns of impending trend changes ahead of other indicators.

If PV is below zero and begins rising, it shows that there is still net selling over the period, but the sellers are running out of steam

If PV is above zero and begins falling, it shows that there is still net buying over the period, but the buyer are running out of steam

This indicator works very well on non traded cash indices as a confirmation

Your Precision Volume trading can be greatly enhanced by adding another volume indicator as confirmation: Demand Index is highly suitable for this task

I have been asked a few times to convert the Precision Volume indicator trading concepts over to Ninjascript which would enable it to be used in NinjaTrader 8 and this is possible with a

zero start when added to the chart.

The difference is in the way data is harvested in the NinjaTrader feed there is no historical counting of upticks and downticks, so these would have be collected from scratch

when first added to the chart. If it was used for day trading of short terms charts that would be useable.

If you are interested drop me a message on the contact link below.

Another volume based indicator that works with intraday tick charts and volume in trading is the effective Trade Volume Index indicator by Steve Achiles


Used primarily to identifiy the direction of a chart breakout by precision analysis of the volume trading and number of trades done at the bid or the ask.

The theory states that if the majority of trades are at the higher bid price then the likely break out of the trading range will be to the upside.

The elapsure of decay can be utilized in different ways in trading, spending time on testing this was done extensively with the best selling Precision Index Oscillator indicator (Pi-Osc)
