Syntax
pvi = posvolidx(closep, tvolume, initpvi) pvi = posvolidx([closep tvolume], initpvi) pvits = posvolidx(tsobj) pvits = posvolidx(tsobj, initpvi, ParameterName, ParameterValue, ...)
Arguments
closep |
Closing price (vector) |
tvolume |
Volume traded (vector) |
initpvi |
(Optional) Initial value for positive volume index Default = 100. |
tsobj |
Financial time series object |
Description
pvi = posvolidx(closep, tvolume, initpvi)
calculates the positive volume index from a set of stock closing prices (closep
) and volume traded (tvolume
) data. pvi
is a vector representing the positive volume index. If initpvi
is specified, posvolidx
uses that value instead of the default (100).
pvi = posvolidx([closep tvolume], initpvi)
accepts a two-column matrix, the first column representing the closing prices (closep
) and the second representing the volume traded (tvolume
). If initpvi
is specified, posvolidx
uses that value instead of the default (100).
pvits = posvolidx(tsobj)
calculates the positive volume index from the financial time series object tsobj
. The object must contain, at least, the series Close
and Volume
. The pvits
output is a financial time series object with dates similar to tsobj
and a data series named PVI
. The initial value for the positive volume index is arbitrarily set to 100.
pvits = posvolidx(tsobj, initpvi, ParameterName, ParameterValue,...)
accepts parameter name/parameter value pairs as input. These pairs specify the name(s) for the required data series if it is different from the expected default name(s). Valid parameter names are
Parameter values are the strings that represent the valid parameter names.
Examples
Compute the positive volume index for Disney stock and plot the results:
load disney.mat dis_PosVol = posvolidx(dis) plot(dis_PosVol) title('Positive Volume Index for Disney')
