Remarks

It shows whether or not a volume trend is developing and can be used to confirm price moves.

Syntax

public interface VolumeROC

Members

Name	Type	Summary
Result	Property	Gets or sets the time series of the Volume ROC indicator.

Example 1

private VolumeROC _volumeROC;
[Parameter("Period", DefaultValue = 14)]
public int Period { get; set; }
[Output("Main")]
public IndicatorDataSeries Result { get; set; }
protected override void Initialize()
{
   _volumeROC = Indicators.VolumeROC(Period);
}
public override void Calculate(int index)
{
   // Display Result of Indicator
   Result[index] = _volumeROC.Result[index];
}
