I see on the saw the reference to the wiki that explains that historical total volume is recorded to the database as total volume and up volume, where down volume is stored as 0.
This sounds like a bug or flaw to me. I would like to have up volume stored as up volume and down volume stored as down volume.
Can you explain why you have it this way? There are some indicators that I am planning to write where I very much would like to know the proper historical up volume and down volume.
So I respectfully ask you to explain why you designed it this way, and when will you make it store up and down volume properly.

Re: Up Volume Down Volume
Regarding historical data:
IQFeed does not have a data field for up volume or down volume.
IQFeed has only Incremental Volume and Total Volume.

Re: Up Volume Down Volume
Well, i see up vol and down volume for the current bar in IQFEED, but not for the past bars.... Therefore I do think it offers support to some degree at least.
Which feeds are u saying does support up and down volume?
Enclosed is a screenshot of upvol and downvol showing up on the current bar of DMND this am.

Re: Up Volume Down Volume
As far as I know IQFeed provides the bid and ask price at the time of the trade (both for historical tick data as well as realtime data), so it would be possible for MC to provide the information by calculating it. Something that needs to be done for 8.1 anyway, otherwise you wouldn't be able to provide historical delta information.IQFeed does not have a data field for up volume or down volume.
IQFeed has only Incremental Volume and Total Volume.

Re: Up Volume Down Volume
They definately should correct this in 8.1 , upvol and downvol are very useful pieces of information.

Re: Up Volume Down Volume [SOLVED]
You did not read my answers.
Up and down volume are provided and stored for realtime data only.
If you collect the data in realtime-volume information will be saved to the database and available in the future.For minute-based and daily-based resolutions all historical total volume is recorded to the data base as total volume and is also recorded as up volume. Down volume is empty.
You can find more information in the corresponding Wiki article.

Re: Up Volume Down Volume
No.Questions
1) does iqfeed offer historic upvol and downvol?
The data is automatically saved into the database once you close MC and all of its applications.2) if not, how do I save the data realtime?
You can plot the chart to get the data or collect real time data without plotting.

Re: Up Volume Down Volume
Just spoke with IQFEED
Tech support states that the data is available in the stream, and that if the chart software provider wanted to, they deconstruct or construct it such that it would show up valume and dn volume
Basically it would be constructed out of the tick data. As a matter of fact, I was able to see up volume and down volume in tick charts, however I didnt see it in minute charts.
Is it possible for you to construct a minute chart from tick data?
Another way to construct this data would be look at historical time and sales data and then be able to construct the up volume and down volume.
So there are 2 ways that you can construct upvol and downvol historically for IQFEED

Figured it out
There is a way to get up vol and dn vol in mc on minute bars..
If you select build min and day bars using tick data option in the settings.
