Hi,

I'm currently accessing the volume in my custom Study using :

sc.Volume[sc.Index]

Data provider is FXCM.

How do i know which volume am I getting ? i read somewhere that FXCM provide :

1) Tick Volume - Number of ticks in x period
2) Transaction Volume - Number of trades in x period
3) Real Volume - Amount of currency traded in x period

Can I access to other volume ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

This is fully documented here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/SCRealTimeFOREX.php#VolumeData

This is what it is:
1) Tick Volume - Number of ticks in x period


There is no other volume data that we are able to access from FXCM using the connection we use.

Okay thank you very much for the documentation.


I have 2 other charts with US Stocks (Sc Data / All) and European Stocks (Teletrader/Euronext).

Do you know where I can found informations about the volume ?

Volume from these exchanges is going to be the actual traded volume in shares. There is little doubt about that.
