Value Chart

Nikolay.Gekht · Sun Apr 11, 2010 8:56 pm

The value chart indicator is developed by David Stendhal.

He has explained the indicator in his interview to TradeStation Technologies Inc.

Stendahl interview wrote: Traditional bar charts may not provide the information traders need to make appropriate trading decisions. Value Charts represent a market analysis tool that allow traders to trade stocks, bonds and futures with additional poise and confidence. It’s a different view of the markets because they were developed to display the valuation of the market.

Read the full interview text for details about this indicator and it’s usage: http://www.chartresearch.com/TSInterview.htm

The formula of the indicator is: OPEN = (OPEN - MVA(TYPICAL)) / (ATR / ATR_N) HIGH = (HIGH - MVA(TYPICAL)) / (ATR / ATR_N) LOW = (LOW - MVA(TYPICAL)) / (ATR / ATR_N) CLOSE = (CLOSE - MVA(TYPICAL)) / (ATR / ATR_N) TYPICAL = (HIGH + LOW + CLOSE) / 3

ATRN represents the number of periods to calculate the ATR

This parameter is used in line 36, when establishing the call for ATR indicator.

ATR = core.indicators:create(“ATR”, source, N);

Hello,

since the new marketscope version, value chart indicator has lines at 8 4 -4 -8. You can’t remove them and it’s really annoying especially if you set the indicator at a higher number of periods.( because these levels are fitted (kind of…) only at periods=5. )

Thank you for adding an option to remove them !
