Trade Volume Index (TVI)

The Trade Volume Index (TVI) leverages intraday market data to show whether a security is being accumulated (purchased) or distributed (sold). The Trade Volume Index assumes that higher prices represent buy orders while lower prices are sell orders.

Configuration Options

  • Min Tick Value: Minimum price movement required to include in the calculation.
  • Field: Price or combination of prices to use as the base for average calculations. Possible values include:
    • Open
    • High
    • Low
    • Close
    • Adjusted Close
    • HL/2 \( \left ( \frac{High + Low}{2} \right ) \)
    • HLC/3 \( \left ( \frac{High + Low + Close}{3} \right ) \)
    • HLCC/4 \( \left ( \frac{High + Low + Close + Close}{4} \right ) \)
    • OHLC/4 \( \left ( \frac{Open + High + Low + Close}{4} \right ) \)
  • Color Selectors: Colors to use for graph elements.
  • Display Axis Label: Whether to display the most recent value on the Y axis.

Formula

\[EMA1 = EMA1_\text{n-1} + \left ((\frac{2}{(n + 1)}) * (P_n - EMA1_\text{n-1}) \right)\]

\[EMA2 = EMA2_\text{n-1} + \left ((\frac{2}{(n + 1)}) * (EMA1_n - EMA2_\text{n-1}) \right)\]

\[EMA3 = EMA3_\text{n-1} + \left ((\frac{2}{(n + 1)}) * (EMA2_n - EMA3_\text{n-1}) \right)\]

\[ TRIX = \frac{(EMA3_n - EMA3_\text{n-1})}{EMA3_\text{n-1}} \]

where:

  • Pn =the current price.
  • EMA1n-1 = the exponential moving average value of n periods back
  • EMA2n-1 = the exponential moving average value of n periods back
  • EMA3n-1 = the exponential moving average value of n periods back
