John Trade Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hello, Is it possible to add the Volume Alert in the Paintbar/Scan parameters? I am trying to create a scan where the first criteria will be: Volume traded so far > XXX Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 If it is a scan, you will always be looking at the last day, so you can just use SymbolData.Volume like below. Do you need something more sophisticated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Trade Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Thank you! I tried using it but since I am looking for the volume today, I didn't get the correct results. I am looking for a way to get the volume traded today up to the previous candle. I would use it in a paintbar or a scanner. Thank you!

Mike Medved Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Ok so if I understand you correctly, you want to have cumulative today's volume up to but not including the current candle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Trade Posted February 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Yes exactly! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 It will be in next release. Variable will be CurrentCumulativeVolume - Current session's cumulative volume up to but not including current candle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Medved Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Two notes: 1. This variable is calculated from chart's data. Which means that if you change showing extended hours, for example, the value will change to include/not include the premarket volume. 2. MT now has an option to ignore odd lot trades when constructing candles in charts. That will obviously affect this variable as well, since for some stocks odd lot trades constitute almost half of all volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
