Volume Rate-Of-Change

Description

The Volume Rate-Of-Change (R.O.C.) indicator is calculated by dividing the volume change over the last x-periods by the volume x-periods ago. The result is the percent by which the volume has changed over the last x-periods.

If volume is higher today than x-days ago, the R.O.C. will be a positive number. If volume is lower today then x-days ago, the R.O.C. will be negative.


Interpretation

The Volume R.O.C. is calculated identically to the Price R.O.C., except it displays the R.O.C. of the security's volume, rather than of its closing price. Additional information on the interpretation of volume trends can be found in the discussion on the Volume Oscillator.
