If that's what you want, then on the Chart Workbench, look in the "Chart Attributes" section and go to the line that begins "Volume", then look for "Color Volume" and put a check mark in the box beside it.
Accumulation/Distribution Line
Chaikin Money Flow
Chaikin Oscillator
Force Index

Negative Volume Index
Percentage Volume Oscillator
My personal favorite is Force index. You can vary the parameters to see what works best. The idea is that when price progress and Force progress diverge - in either combination - Force up/down more than price, price up/down more than Force - then a reversal is due. You can also apply a moving average (this not in Chart School) to Force; when Force moves above the falling MA, expect higher prices due; when moving below the rising MA, expect lower prices due. But you have to play with the Force parameter and the MA parameter to see what works. For long term, I use Force 250 with a 250 MA and a 63 MA. Sometimes it "works", sometime it doesn't.
The parameter box allows you to decide how many deciles to show on the chart. I find that the fewer the better, my default is 10 on at 18 month time frame.
My favorite "Rank by" is the PctRelative function.
