Terms Starting with V
Volatility Fast Volatility is the percentage price change or fluctuation over a given time period. To obtain the correct perspective, it is important to look at ratios or percentage changes rather than at point changes, which are influenced too much by the level of prices. Volatility can also be defined as the widening of the range between the high and low prices.
The Volatility Fast indicator has a default time period of 21.
Volatility Measures Volatility measures the variability of historical returns. Beta and R2 compare a portfolio's total return to those of a relevant market, represented by the benchmark index. Standard Deviation is calculated independent of an index.
Volatility Slow Volatility is the percentage price change or fluctuation over a given time period. To obtain the correct perspective, it is important to look at ratios or percentage changes rather than at point changes, which are influenced too much by the level of prices. Volatility can also be defined as the widening of the range between the high and low prices.
The Volatility Slow indicator has a default time period of 21.
Vol. (Avg. 10-Day / Avg. 90-Day) The daily average trading Volume measured over the last 10 days, divided by the same number measured over the last 90 days.
Vol. (Avg. 10-Day / Avg. 90-Day) can be used to find companies with recent volume spikes. If volume was the same in the last 10 days as it was in the last 90 days, the value of this ratio would be 1.0. The higher this ratio is above 1.0, the larger the relative volume spike. Typically, a large increase in volume means that some sort of news is coming out. Volume is a very important indicator in technical analysis.
Volume
The total number of shares traded on all exchanges where the security is traded during the latest trading day. Unusually high volume days typically correspond with the announcement of company news, either positive or negative. In the absence of news, high volume can indicate institutional (or professional) buying and selling.
For options, this is the number of shares traded during the day on the primary exchange. See Average Volume.
Volume Accumulation The Volume Accumulation indicator, developed by Mark Chaikens, is a modification of the traditional On Balance Volume (OBV) indicator. Instead of assigning the total volume to either buyers or sellers, Volume Accumulation assigns a proportional amount based on the relationship between the closing price and its intra-period mean price. In effect, the indicator measures shades of gray that traditional volume indicators such as OBV miss. However, if price closes at the period's high or low, the total is assigned accordingly. Movement above the zero line measures buying pressure, while movement below the zero line measures selling pressure.
Volume By Price An indicator showing the level of trading Volume relative to stock price of the primary security. Volume by Price is useful in determining where the majority of historical trading volume has occurred, and may help identify meaningful support and resistance lines. Support lines help determine at what price buyers are likely to come into the market and support a stock. Resistance lines help to determine at what price sellers may unload their stock and drive the stock price lower. These measures are subjective. The Volume By Price indicator is insufficient to mark either support or resistance lines.
Volume (90-Day Average) The number of shares traded per day, averaged over the last 90 days.
Volume+ An indicator that identifies, with color bars, when a stock's trading volume contributed to gains or losses in price. The Volume+ indicator also displays the stock's 50-day average volume as a reference point.
Volume (10-Day Average) The number of shares traded per day, averaged over the last 10 days.
Volume Today The number of shares traded today. If you signed the Nasdaq user agreement, the volume is the latest real-time value. If you haven't signed the Nasdaq user agreement, the volume figure is delayed at least 20 minutes.
Volume (Today/Avg. 10-Day) Today's volume divided by the same number measured over the last 10 days. If you signed the Nasdaq user agreement, the volume is the latest real-time value. If you haven't signed the Nasdaq user agreement, the volume figure is delayed at least 20 minutes.
