Indicator Description
The green zone on the chart indicates price levels where there are more buys over a certain period, represented by a numerical value showing the difference in contracts. The red zone represents sells, which can be used to identify areas between call/put and support/resistance levels.
The indicator calculates the RJ Volume over a minute period and transmits this data to the RJ HSlice 1.1 indicator. It is recommended to use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators for more accurate results.
Installation Instructions
To install the indicator, place two files in the terminal's Experts and Indicators folders, then compile the editor and attach the RJ HSlice 1.1 indicator to the chart. Note that the RJ Volume indicator should not be attached to the chart, as it can cause issues with 5-digit terminals.
Indicator Settings
The CalcPeriod setting is used to specify the time period in minutes, with a default value of 1. If a different time frame is required, the value can be adjusted accordingly. For example, to render the data in a specific time frame, the value should be set to 60. The indicator also includes protection against configuration errors, ensuring that it will still function even if an incorrect value is entered.
The ShowLevelsOn setting is used to display all price levels, with a default value of true. Setting this to false will remove all levels from the chart. The ShowContractOn setting is used to display the contract values, with a default value of true. Setting this to false will remove all contract values from the chart. The BackgroundLevelOn setting is used to render the background levels when ShowLevelsOn is enabled. The ShowTurningOn setting is used to set the support line of resistance, which is useful for identifying areas where the price is likely to turn.
Additional Settings
The PercentDiscrep setting is used to specify the rate difference between levels, with a default value of 0.2 (20%). This setting can be adjusted to change the sensitivity of the indicator. The ColorLine setting is used to specify the color of the lines, with a default value of aqua.
Understanding the Indicator
The RJ HSlice 1.1 indicator is based on the idea that if the candle open is less than the close, then the buy value is calculated as the difference between the high and low, plus the difference between the close and open. The sell value is calculated as the difference between the high and low. The distribution value is then calculated as the volume divided by the sum of the buy and sell values. This value is used to determine the call and put values, which are then used to render the chart.
Testing the Indicator
To test the indicator, it is recommended to upload or save it as a template, then experiment with different settings and time frames to see how it performs. It is also recommended to ask questions and seek answers to any issues that may arise during testing.
