Box Ratio

In box charting (i.e., Equivolume charting), the high price, low price, and volume for a trading interval (typically a day's worth) are used to plot a single box. The upper and lower bounds of the box are governed by the high and low price, respectively. The width of the box is governed by the volume. Therefore, the shape of the box is dependent on how it is plotted. Our goal is to optimize our plotting scales in a manner that allows the user to distinguish thin from fat boxes. With Insider TA, you need not be concerned with "plotting scales", because that task is automatically handled by the Viewport Control Panel.

Once a box is plotted on the screen, it's shape is quantified by a box ratio value. With Insider TA, this is determined by dividing the height of the box by its width. Note that this is the inverse of Richard Arm's Equivolume
-derived box ratios although the end result -- to determine buy and sell locations via the Box Analyzer -- remains the same. For more information on this topic, we recommend Arms' book titled Trading Without Fear (click here for Internet link).



Thin boxes have box ratios greater than 1
Fat boxes have box ratios less than 1.

The average box ratio of all visible boxes in the graph window is displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the
box chart.
