Computer Implemented Method and System of Trading Indicators Based on Price and Volume
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for creating trading indicators for a financial instrument traded in a market comprising:
- a) having a set of sequential time intervals, and b) having a set of price brackets, wherein each price bracket is narrower than ⅕
of the estimated difference between highest and lowest transaction prices of the total time span of said set of sequential time intervals, and c) computing a set of VPPB quantities, wherein each VPPB quantity is an aggregate of said financial instrument volume of transactions executed during one time interval of said set of sequential time intervals and executed at prices within one price bracket of said set of price brackets, and d) selecting an evaluation time interval from said set of sequential time intervals, and e) selecting one or more population subsets of said set of VPPB quantities by applying predetermined data filtering and preprocessing means, and at least one of said population subsets comprising VPPB quantities corresponding to a plurality of time intervals preceding said evaluation time interval, and f) selecting one or more evaluation VPPB quantities, at least one evaluation VPPB quantity corresponding to said evaluation time interval, and g) applying mathematical algorithms to obtain one or more scores for each said evaluation VPPB quantity with respect to one or more of said population subsets, and h) creating a trading indicator when said scores meet predetermined criteria.

Abstract
A method and system for providing trading indicators for selected instruments traded in a market such as stocks, currency contracts, bonds, commodities contracts, options contracts, and futures contracts. The method and system create trading indicators using Time and Sales data as provide by exchanges or financial data providers. The method comprise parsing time, price and volume of individual transactions into a collection of volume per price bracket per time interval quantities, wherein each quantity is an aggregate volume of transactions executed during one of a set of sequential time intervals and executed at prices within one of a set of price brackets. The method generate trading indicators by using mathematical algorithms to score individual volume per price bracket per time interval quantities corresponding to an evaluation time interval against a population of individual volume per price bracket per time interval quantities corresponding to a set of previous time intervals. The system generates trading indicators in real time, without the time lag associated to traditional technical analysis indicators. The method and system can also generate trend indicators based on analysis of volume accumulation, and defines trading indicators based on maximum volume prices.
