MqlTick volume is always zero

[vopot]

Hi

I use example from MQL4 help file in my code (the same as https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/constants/structures/mqltick). It prints correct time, correct bid, correct ask, but volume is always zero. I even tried to insert 10 sec delay so that there were several price changes between calling SymbolInfoTick, but still the same: volume=0. EURUSD, M1. Please help!!!

void OnTick()
  {
   MqlTick last_tick;
//---
   if(SymbolInfoTick(Symbol(),last_tick))
     {
      Print(last_tick.time,": Bid = ",last_tick.bid,
            " Ask = ",last_tick.ask,"  Volume = ",last_tick.volume);
     }
   else Print("SymbolInfoTick() failed, error = ",GetLastError());
//---
  }

Why tick volume not avalible in MT4?

Why broker volumes not avalible in mt4? 

[yalewang]

Yes, but the Volume indicator gets Tick Volume from somewhere. Why does CopyTicks can't get it from same source?

Who said that ? There is no such problem.

The topic was about real traded volume, not tick volume.

Same issue here on MT4. When SymbolInfoTick is called, the tick is loaded successfully within OnTick - but returned tick's volume is always zero - no matter what the target symbol is (I've tried indexes and currency pairs - the volume indicator has value).

@AlainVerleyen - your over confidence in denying the issue is not helpful. Just my two cents. (:
