Print Volume = 0

Postby tradingest » 09 May 2020

Hi there,

I try to print the Volume but the result is the following.
Why the Volume is always 0? In the chart the Volume is present.

I think you need the `Ticks` keyword for this. Because depending on your chart settings, that keyword returns a bar's total volume.

The `Volume` keyword, on the other hand, only returns the number of up ticks. (I know, confusing right!)

Damn right it's confusing. It's actually stupid but I suppose we have to live with it. I wasted many months before realising this point. It ought to be changed but I know it won't be. Every other platform would use "volume" for total volume and "ticks" for tick count.
