They are similar. The reason I switched to "Ask/Bid Volume" as default was that "Intraday Data File Compression" breaks "Up/Down Volume" if it is used.

Bid Volume and Ask Volume represent the volume actually traded at the Bid or Ask respectively.

I also found another reference in the docs that should apply mentioning at bid price or lower and at ask price or higher.

And quick add from the programming docs:

Down Volume:
This array contains the total volume of trades for the bar where the trades occurred at a lower price than the trade before or the symbol traded at the same price as before and previously it traded down.

Up Volume:
This array contains the total volume of trades for the bar where the trades occurred at a higher price than the trade before or the symbol traded at the same price as before and previously it traded higher.
