iVolume

[Christian Stern]

Hey all,

i've a stupid question... whats the meaning of iVolume() ? I dont get it. Have read the doc and tried a few examples but still having a echo in my head.

When i use it, is see the value growing with time and at the end of a period it resets to 0. Fine. But why jump the value back and what means it ?

I guess it would be helpful to know how big the trade volume is ..or ?

Thanks and regards, chris

Hi,

iVolume is not trade volume,it's for counting new quote for each tick,means new tick coming will be counted by iVolume for each candle by time-frame,

double volume=iVolume(_Symbol,PERIOD_H1,0);

It shows the current H1 timeframe bar tick volume,so for new candle it will be from 1,not zero,

No,it's impossible,there is not such function to check current trade volume(depth of market volume) of the broker,

What about adding MqlTick volume according to flags?

So it is a structure that returns current prices(Ask,Bid,Volume....),refer to these docs : mqltick & symbolinfotick
