Is there any sofware that will do this?

I want an alert for intraday dry up volume. So what I need is an alert when volume on a specifed bar is less than a certain amount at the bars conclusion. I dont know of any charting or other software that will do this. Do you?

 

don't know about charts, but it can be done in excel for sure

return new Array(nAskVol, nInsideVol, nBidVol);

 

Heres some modifications you will want to make. The bar period will be the time frame you set the chart to ie 5m.


Instead of totall bid volume or Ask volume just simplify the script and total the traded volume 'Voltradetot'.


if (nState == BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {
nBidVol = 0;
nInsideVol = 0;
nAskVol = 0;
vVol = 0;
if (Voltradetot < 1000) Alert.playSound("DUVol_alert.wav");
Voltradetot = 0;
}


Save in DUVol_alert.wav C:\Program Files\eSignal\Sounds
Should work. You can email me if you run into trouble.
