Indicator Description

The indicator calculates the average tick volume for the last "n" bars and rises a signal if the previous bar has a volume "m" times higher than the average.

Rising Volume indicator doesn't determine the entry direction. You need an additional indicator for that.

Risk warning: Forex, spread bets and CFD are leveraged products. They may not be suitable for you as they carry a high degree of risk to your capital and you can lose more than your initial investment. You should ensure you understand all of the risks.
