ZigZag Volume Chart Calculator difference

Hello,

why does the Volume of the ZigZag indicator differ from the volume of the chart calculator in an antiproportional manner?
How are these informations gathered?

Additionally, I wish there was a function in the zigzag to automatically calculate and display the average volume per bar in the movement.

Thank you.

The Zig Zag volume is the sum of the volumes at each bar starting at the bar after the last inflection point and including the next inflection point. Therefore, you can not put the Chart Calculator at the beginning and end of a Zig Zag and get the same answer. You would need to start one bar later than where the Zig Zag starts as that starting point is included in the previous Zig Zag.

Ah thank you very much John.
Yes, it even makes sense to calculate it this way! ;)
