realtime trade occurs.

INPUTS
ShowTLorText_0to3 ( 3 )

0 = trendline
1 = numeric text only
2 = text histogram only
3 = text numeric + histogram
(Option 3 requires fixed space fonts, e.g.,
Courier New)

DrawRightToLeft (True )

Switches histogram to draw from right to left (TL

or text.)

TrendlineSize ( 1 )

Set trendline size

TextHistogramBars ( 16 )

For text histogram; higher is more precise, lower

uses less space

TextHistogramCharacter ( "-" )

Choose text character to be used for histogram

TextVolumeDivisor ( 1 )

Option to divide stock volume by 100, 1000, etc.,

for numeric display

ShowVWAP_0to4 ( 4 )

0 = switched off
1 = VWAP only
2 = VWAP and +/- 1 standard deviation
3 = VWAP and +/- 2 standard deviations
4 = VWAP + 1/ 2 standard deviations

ShowInsideBidAsk ( True )

Switches on display of inside bid/ask plots

ShowOpenAndPrevClose ( True )

Switches on open/previous close plots

HighPerformanceMode ( True )

If true, text/trendlines refresh every tick and

bid/ask update based on Market Depth Provider,
i.e., all updates. If false, text updates only on
ticks (based on Streaming Data Optimization if
enabled) and the bid/ask values update as
provided by Quote Provider (maximum of 5x per
second.) True = most timely display possible.
False is still very fast, but uses less CPU time.

UseEntireSession ( True )

True = use data from entire session, regardless

of chart custom session; False = use data only
from chart custom session.

TicksNotVolume ( False )

The default setting is to use volume for all

markets except indices and forex, where tick
volume is used. This setting allows you to
override the default setting for futures/stocks to
use tick count instead of volume.

OverrideDataDays ( 0 )

Data is automatically set to two days if indicator

is loaded Tuesday to Friday, three days on
Saturday, four days on Sunday and five days on

Monday. This setting allows user to override the

auto setting.
COLOR SETTINGS
ColorLowVolume and ColorHighVolume are used to construct volume-based gradient coloring. If
the same color is set for both, the gradient is disabled. ColorUptick and ColorDowntick highlight
the last trade, showing it as being up or down from previous price traded.
ColorLowVolume ( rgb ( 80,80,80 ) )
ColorHighVolume ( rgb ( 80,80,80 ) )
ColorUptick ( rgb ( 64,64,255 ) )
ColorDowntick ( rgb ( 255,64,64 ) )
Plot colors and sizes (if applicable) are set manually. The "VWAP" plot is used to set the color and
size for all VWAP related plots. The indicator reads its color and size and applies these to the
others. Inside bid/ask colors are set manually (Bid and Ask plots), and sizes are set
automatically by code. Previous close and open colors and sizes are set manually.
