TradeVolumeIndex
interface cAlgo.API.Indicators
DesktopCLICloud
Trade Volume Index measures the amount of money flowing in and out of an asset.
Definition
public interface TradeVolumeIndex
Namespace: cAlgo.API.Indicators · Group: Indicators · Implements: StandardIndicator
Remarks
The underlying assumption of this indicator is that there is buying pressure when the price trades near the asking price and selling pressure when it trades near the bid.
Examples
Example 1
private TradeVolumeIndex _tradeVolume;

}
