• The number of Down ticks in the current bar will be returned if Build Volume On is set to Tick Count

Notes

• OpenInt is supported for time-based charts with resolutions of 1 day or more.
• Please note that most data feeds provide only a limited history of volume and tick data; storing real-time feed data will ensure the availability of historical volume and tick data.
• The range of returned values is limited by the MaxBarsBack setting.
