Id’like to define an exploration based on equivolume charting.

in order to discover which securities have generated a box or

oversquare box bar. How can such an exploration be written?

Thanks

Equivolume shows the trading range based upon a unit of volume instead of time so
you have to define your unit of volume and then "box" and then "oversquare".
I wasn't able to find the latter two in the reference manual, any examples?

Thanks johnl, for your answer. The definition of “box”, “oversquare box” as well as methodology are available at [censored]Arms page http://www.armsinsider.com/pdf/index.asp , where you can download a pdf copy of his newest file. The goal is to calculate the box ratio [in EOM Indicator manual page :Volume/(H-L)] and to find securities for which box ratio is lower or equal to 1 The calculation of volume, as appears in bar, is somewhat complex. At least for me. Thanks in advance for your attention Michmauro

The page you referenced says to include the volume by normalizing it over the range of displayed volume. If you were to normally display 50 bars of data at a time, the normalizing could be done this way:

tv:=Sum(V,50);
bw:=(V/tv)*100;
box:=(H-L)*bw;


bw is the percentage of the volume of the current bar as compared to the the last 50 bars.
box is the area of the bar.

I know this is not everything you were asking for, but it should help you get closer to your objective.
