Bull Bear Volume Plotter

Bull Bear Volume Plotter afl indicates that who is going to win the battle. This is just an indication and do not make any trading decision based on this afl alone.  You can use this afl as an additional confirmation for your strategy. This is one of the most powerful afl for intraday traders but this can also be used for swing trading as well. For buying decision, make sure you have adequate volue support and volumes are abve the green line.
