Hello Juanfer,

If this is a question, then the answer is "Yes", it is possible.

There are no volume quotes in forex. Volume is only available for stocks and futures.

I get to see the volume in real time, but to refresh or add an indicator that need volume data, are not data.
How I can have that data?
In ASCII tick data can form bars of minutes for historical, Can you do the same with data from IB?
thank you very much

hm?
There's no quoted volume in FX. If you see one, it's still not volume, but a glitch, mistake, or volume provided by your broker which not real either.

Juanfer, the Tick Count will work correctly only for real time. If you use minute- or daily-based resolutions, the data that has been collected in real-time will not be saved to MultiCharts database (see more details here) after you close the software. If you reload data, it will also delete all that has been collected in real-time. The only possible solution for you would be to save Tick Count with tick data (ticks collected in real-time are saved to database) or refuse from historical backfill from IB servers (by unchecking "Download Missing Historical Data" box in Data Server Mode setting, it is also described in the same wiki article) to save minute- and daily-based data collected in real-time.
