Visualizing Session Buy and Sell Order Volume Ranges

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document describes an indicator that displays a histogram for the session’s reported buy-order and sell-order volumes. It uses the platform’s current total-volume fields for each side and plots their minimum and maximum values, providing a compact view of how those reported quantities vary during the session.

The description gives no trading rules, performance evidence, or details about how the values are sampled or interpreted. It is therefore a basic visualization concept rather than a validated signal. Traders should not infer that displayed order volume predicts price direction or represents executed trades; the document only identifies the two order-volume inputs and their histogram presentation.

Key ideas

  • The indicator plots session buy-order and sell-order volume as a histogram.
  • It displays minimum and maximum values for each side’s reported volume.
  • The document does not establish that these values predict price movements.
