Overview

Volume Percent of MA shows a column only when volume is above that average and at or above a minimum percentage; other bars stay hidden. Users set the average length and type, the display threshold, and whether color follows the previous close or the current open. Up and down colors adapt to a light or dark chart theme. It draws columns in a separate pane and does not generate trade signals.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
