mrtools, thank you so much for putting in the effort to replicate this indicator.

Unfortunately, it appears there's still a far distance between your MT4 version and the TradingView version.

Below is the "Buying & Selling Pressure" in MT4 and TradingView from the broker OANDA:



While the TradingView version's values barely touch 0.500 across the entire H1 timeframe, you can see in the MT4 version that the indicator goes as high as 5.00 after the sharp sell-off (10x the numerical value of the TradingView version).

This tells me that each version is running the calculation differently.

Additionally, you can see very sharp visual differences in how the indicators are plotted. Not only do the crosses happen at different points between MT4 and TradingView, but the MT4 version almost appears to be "smoothed" while the TradingView version is much more jagged in its appearance.

If it's not too much effort, would you be able to re-look at the MT4 indicator's code to see if the calculations need to be re-done? Unless my eyes are failing me, the candlestick data between MT4 and TradingView is too similar for (presumably) the same indicator to be producing drastically different plots.

Thank you again!
