DepthHouse Dual Volume Price Strength Index, or VPSI for short, is used to compare Bullish and Bearish Strength Indexes to help determine bull & bear dominance and exhaustion.
The Oscillator Displays both a Bullish and Bearish Strength Index.
It does this a via a series of calculations between price and volume.
A crossover of one or the other generally represents bullish or bearish dominance at that moment.
While their vertical placements represents the Bullish or Bearish Exhaustion level.
In this case it is read much like an RSI, levels over 70 generally represent exhaustion and levels under 30 represents the opposite.
Since these bands act very similar to a RSIs, this can be a great tool to spot divergences.
--Settings--
note: This indicator works best on higher time frames. I typically have it set to at least 1 hr.
Weighted vs. Non-Weighted
This changes the base calculations of the bands. the default is Weighted, which compares both Price and Volume. The Non-Weighted option removes price calculations, and makes it entirely volume based. Depending on what I am trading, I will switch between these two.
Length
Alters the band length. Default is 14.
Smoothing
This option smooths the VPSI bands. Especially comes in handy on lower time frames.
I prefer to leave this on with a smoothing between 2 and 3.
