TSV- Time Segmented Volume Indicator Not working
-
I am trying to get the Time Segmented Volume indicator to function and having trouble. As a condition I want a bullish trade to check if the TSV is greater than 0 and a bearish to check if TSV is a negative value. How would I do this? I added this as custom indicator by uploading the file.

@errinjm Well, without knowing the indicator it's a bit hard to tell. Explore the buffers if available and choose the right one. You ma use the data window to explore the buffers.
Then use a condition block. -
@trader-philipps Thanks for the reply. Is it required to know the buffer name specifically in the Indicator itself? or is always going to be Buffer 0 and buffer 1?
-
@errinjm Well, many authors don't user the SetIndexLabel function in order to make it readable. In tat case you'd just see Buffer 0, Buffer 1 etc. on importing the indicator. If you only have the ex4 file and not the sources of the indicator, you need to set the buffers by yourself.
If you could share it, I might take a look. -

Here you go. Thank you very much, I appreciate the help!

@errinjm On importing the indicator you see the buffers ..
Green is up, red is down.
Btw., how are you going to use it? o cross?
-
@trader-philipps I am using this as a confirmation indicator for volume. If the Green is above 0 then there is volume in sufficient as it shows a trade can be supported. Or that is the theory anyway. I think I may have to change the formula a bit and just verify the green is above the red instead of a numeric value. i.e. if green is greater than Zero then bullish trade, if red is below 0 then bearish trade confirmation. back to testing!
-
@trader-philipps When I run a Strategy Tester the TSV does not look like it is populating the indicator.
-
@errinjm If I test the indicator itself, it works (I use tickdata suite).
May you share your project?
-
@errinjm Import the file .ex4 in "my indicators" instead of the .mq4 file and fill in the fields as the picture above. I tried and it works
-
@ambrogio That was it! Using the EX4 over the MQ4 file was the way to fix it. Although it does not have the Buffers, it is really about the volume indicator functioning correctly! Thank you very much! @trader-philipps Thank you also for helping out and showing support!
-
@errinjm If you import the ex4 file, you need to create the input parameter(s) and the 2 buffers manually like that
