Volume Rate of Change Indicator

The volume rate of change indicator is used to gauge the volatility in a security’s volume. The volume rate of change is a powerful indicator when estimating a security’s ability to push through key resistance. It is calculated the exact same way as the rate of change indicator except instead of tracking the closing price it tracks volume. The calculation is: Volume ROC = ((Volume – Volume n-periods ago )/ Volume n-periods ago) *100.
