is there a way to compare the difference bettween the average volume (AvgV234.78) to the current volume ...in other words if the average volume (AvgV234.78)  is 500k and the current volume is 600K 

im looking for a column that will give me the difference ....so in this example the answer would be 100K

what would that formula be ? thank you 

Please try the following indicator formula.

V - AVGV234.78

Hi Bruce,

Is there a better way to write a condition for finding stocks where the volume has dried up (decreased significantly) during the last 5 bars, i.e. being less than 25% of the average volume up to 6 bars ago?

I am perhaps using a more general formula:

TrueInRow(V < V1, 5) = 5 AND AVGV5 < AVGV60.5

Thanks much,

Chris 

I direct interpretation of your definition would seem to be:

AVGV5 < .25 * AVGV60.5

But that doesn't mean it is any better than your formula if it embodies requirements not explicitly stated in your definition.

Thanks Bruce - I appreciate your help.

You're welcome.
