Negative volume index

Syntax

Arguments

closep
Closing price (vector)
tvolume
Volume traded (vector)
initnvi
(Optional) Initial value for negative volume index (Default = 100).
tsobj
Financial time series object

Description

nvi = negvolidx(closep, tvolume, initnvi) calculates the negative volume index from a set of stock closing prices (closep) and volume traded (tvolume) data. nvi is a vector representing the negative volume index. If initnvi is specified, negvolidx uses that value instead of the default (100).

nvi = negvolidx([closep tvolume], initnvi) accepts a two-column matrix, the first column representing the closing prices (closep) and the second representing the volume traded (tvolume). If initnvi is specified, negvolidx uses that value instead of the default (100).

nvits = negvolidx(tsobj) calculates the negative volume index from the financial time series object tsobj. The object must contain, at least, the series Close and Volume. The nvits output is a financial time series object with dates similar to tsobj and a data series named NVI. The initial value for the negative volume index is arbitrarily set to 100.

nvits = negvolidx(tsobj, initnvi, 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.
