As with any instrument,
you need to add the symbol into QuoteManager before you can receive quotes and create a chart.

Dear TJ,

Thank you for your reply,

I have added the symbol and I can display daily chart for the symbol , such as AAPL , BIDU, etc
But the indicator that contains the code to plot the call volume doesnt display anything , which suppose to display the call volume for that particular stock, such as AAPL on Daily chart

Is it because of I need to subscribe appropriate data for getting call and put volume for individual stock

At the moment i only subscribe nyse and nasdaq from iqfeed , do i need to subscribe other market data as well ?

Is it possible to pull this data if i connect and pull data from my interactive broker brokerage account ?

These days you have to subscribe for anything and everything.

If you are subscribed, you will be able to see the quotes in TWS.
Not just the underlying, but the option strikes.

To create a chart in MultiCharts, you have to know the symbol.
All Option strikes have their individual symbol and description.

The `callvolume` keyword is a stub. That means it's added to PowerLanguage and recognised by the PowerLanguage Editor, but it doesn't do anything; it's 'empty'.

It doesn't matter which data feed you have or which data you see in TWS; the `callvolume` keyword (and other PowerLanguage keywords related to options) unfortunately don't work.

Edit:
`callvolume` is a TS keyword so probably added to MultiCharts for backward compatibility. Here's a thread about option trading in MultiCharts, and at that time the opinion was that such a feature won't be added. My guess is that the PowerLanguage keywords for options therefore won't be implemented too.
