If you need it let me know. I remember playing with it at the time with little success. Volume never seems to follow the rules well enough to allow decent or consistent or objective use...at least for me in the medium term. And there is yet another short term indicator featured in latest S&C,Nov 2007, "Short-Term Volume and price Oscillator". Article's presentation leaves something to be desired but it is another way of looking at the subject. > Dave > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: JIM WIEHE > To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 4:45 AM > Subject: Re: [amibroker] OT: VCPI - Article in Active Trader February 2005 > > > > I havent done alot with it other than duplicate it. But I think Mr Dormeier likes to use the ADX, DI+, and DI- with shorter periods for the VCPI. I think he told our investor club it works well with ETFs. > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Ara Kaloustian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: AB-Main <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, November 1, 2007 12:35:21 PM > Subject: [amibroker] OT: VCPI - Article in Active Trader February 2005 > > > > An interesting articles on using volume ... > > The VCPI (Volume Price confirmation Indicator) on page 38 of above reference seems very interesting. .. hopefully reducing ambiguities in interpreting volume data. > > Has anyone used this indicator?? > > Appreciate any feedback > > Ara > > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?

Hello Ara, I don't expect to see it the reason being that volume for any bar is only a summary and we don't know where that volume went at an intra- bar level. So far I haven't had any success with vol, although I haven't put my heart and soul into it. My next step in that area is to try to use tick volume/time period. My instinct is that if any value can come from vol it would be at that level. Cheers, Brian_z
