Definition

A collection of historical bar volume values.

For working with Cryptocurrency instruments which report volume fractional, please use the VOL() indicator series, or store the volume for your script in a custom variable and convert alongside our VOL() indicator (Instrument.MasterInstrument.InstrumentType == InstrumentType.CryptoCurrency ? Core.Globals.ToCryptocurrencyVolume((long)Volume[0]) : Volume[0]).

Property Value

An ISeries\<double\> object. Accessing this property via an index [int barsAgo] returns A double value representing the volume of the referenced bar.

Syntax

Volume

Volume[int barsAgo]

Examples

// OnBarUpdate method**
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Is current volume greater than twice the prior bar's volume
if (Volume[0] > Volume[1] * 2)
Print("We have increased volume");
// Is the current volume greater than the 20 period moving average of volume
if (Volume[0] > SMA(Volume, 20)[0])
Print("Increasing volume");
}
