VOLUME & MONEY FLOW
Volume ratio
Today's volume compared with normal.
spec id: volume_ratiolength (default 14)
What does Volume ratio measure?
Today's volume compared with normal. 3 means three times the usual trade — the standard way to say "something is happening here."
How is Volume ratio calculated?
Take today's volume and divide it by the average volume of the 14 candles BEFORE it. Today is deliberately left out of that average, so a huge day cannot flatter its own reading.
Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.
How do I use Volume ratio in a bot?
In the builder, add an indicator of type volume_ratio (parameters: length, default 14). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
