Volume not available whereas properly imported

Postby Nicolas23 » 14 Oct 2011

Dear all,

I am a beginner with MultiCharts, so please forgive me in case of stupid question.

My problem: Volume information is not available in Chart Window or in studies whereas volume information was imported.

More precisely...

I am using ES historical 1-minute data which contains volume information.
During the import, the volume information was imported into the "Volume" field.
When I check in the QuotesManager with EditData (but I performed no change in the data), the information is there, in "TotalVol" column.

Then, I draw the chart in MultiCharts.
But the Volume does not appear in the "Data Window".
There are only "Up Vol" and "Dn Vol", both at zero for all bars.
(Settings: Build Volume on Trade Volume. Anyway, Tick Volume does not change the situation.

An indicator "plot1(Volume, "volume");" is flat at zero.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Nicolas

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately, this indicator is flat at zero as well. :-(
I would like to highlight that no volume information is available in the "Data Window" of MultiCharts, as if the volume has not travelled from Quotes Manager to MultiCharts.
Thanks again!

Hello Nicolas.
Please try to import the volume data into the UpVolume field.

It worked, thanks! :-)

(I also "cleared cache" in Quotes Manager before opening the chart in MultiCharts, but I do not know if this additional operation was necessary.)

Thanks again,

Nicolas
