SymbolInfoTick() doubt

[karachiento]

Hello everyone. I'm trying to run a very simple EA to get the tick information but I can't get the volume.

Can anyone tell me why it is?

Here the EA

MqlTick L_Tick;

void OnTick()
{
   if(SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(),L_Tick))
     Print(L_Tick.time, ": Bid = ",L_Tick.bid, " Ask = ",L_Tick.ask,"  Volume = ", L_Tick.volume);

   else 
      Print("SymbolInfoTick() failed, error = ",GetLastError());   
}

Here the output

Thank you!!

Yes, there is a problem. Additionally, queries (SYMBOL_VOLUME and SYMBOL_VOLUME_REAL) also do not work.

Thanks for your quick response.

Do you know if it is a temporary or permanent problem?

Do you know an alternative way to get the tick volume?

Try restarting the computer (not the terminal, namely the computer). Also indicate the equipment on which there is a problem (after starting the terminal, take the first three lines from the Journal tab).

I have this:

Terminal        MetaTrader 5 x64 build 2380 started for MetaQuotes Software Corp.
Terminal        Windows 10 build 19041, Intel Core i3-3120M  @ 2.50GHz, 1 / 7 Gb memory, 66 / 415 Gb disk, IE 11, UAC, GMT+2
Terminal        C:\Users\barab\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\D0E8209F77C8CF37AD8BF550E51FF075

It is not my pc. I run the EA on another pc and get the same result.

Do you have any other suggestion?

Thanks for your time

A working option is to use CopyTickVolume and CopyRealVolume.

I have used your code to test and I do not get the volume, only correlative numbers that return to 1 when a new candle appears ...

You got the volumes. You even highlighted the volumes in the picture.

[karachiento]

Yes. you're right. Thank you!

Result:

There is no problem. Most brokers don't provide trade volume information for Forex symbols.
