iVolumes average value

[[Deleted]]

Hello, 

How could I return the average value of x periods from volume indicator?

I tried to use the code below, but it is not working properly also.

input ENUM_TIMEFRAMES VOL_TF=PERIOD_M30;
input ENUM_APPLIED_VOLUME VOL_TYPE=VOLUME_REAL;


double vol_filter()
   {
    double volumes = iVolumes(_Symbol,VOL_TF,VOL_TYPE);
    double vol_buffer[],vol_res;
      if(CopyBuffer( volumes ,0,0,1, vol_buffer )>0)
         {
          vol_res=vol_buffer[0];
          return(vol_res);
         }
      return(0);

   }

1. iVolumes returns an int (handle) not a double.

2. Where do you get multiple values from CopyBuffer and where do you average them?

Thank you for your answer.

I'm really dont know. I tried to used some code that I was used to get iATR value, but did not worked to iVolumes.

Even when I try just to get a unique value from one TimeFrame of iVolumes, it returns a wrong value.

Do you have any sugestion of a code which returns the average of volumes value?

Do you know you don't need any code for that ?

Volumes averaged by MA indicator. Not coding needed.

Place Volumes indicator on chart, then drag MA indicator in the sub-window and chose Apply to "First indicator's data".

Hello Alain, 

I know how to do this on chart, but I would like to use this information on my EA to complement as a filter.

I tried this code, but always return 0.

int vol_filter()
   {
    int volumes = iVolumes(_Symbol,PERIOD_M30,VOLUME_REAL);
    double vol_buffer[];
    int result;
    result = CopyBuffer( volumes ,0,0,1, vol_buffer );
    if (result <0)
      return (0);
    else return (result);    
         
         
   }
