Where is Prev Vol for use in a scan?

[Roger]

Hello, I see Prev Vol as a column in the portfolio, but where is when I create scans? 

And what is SymbolData.Volume24 ?

Thanks for your help.

[Mike Medved]

I didn't expose that value because not all feeds have that data...

Volume24 is for crypto. It is the volume in the previous 24 hours. Constantly changes.

Ok, I will try to calculate Prev Vol with TimeStamp code.

Also, can you check the settings for Alert Parameter Note:  DayRange and DayRange %.

It appears to be incorrect data.

Thanks, Roger

DayRange would show you DayHigh - DayLow.

What does it show for you?

[Roger]

I thinks it works ok, discovered dxfeed does not provide Day Range or Range Percentage in PreMarket.

I was trying to get that in Premarket scan alerts Notes, but it was just showing Last and 0.

Also can you give me hint on coding for Previous Volume?

I am using dxfeed and it has Prev Vol available.

Having difficulty in getting any data from a specific Timestamp.

Thanks, Roger

You can calculate previous day's volume as follows (in Advanced mode). In the following CurrentState.PrevDayVolume always holds the previous day's volume.

The bolded parts in the below code are the parts that are different from the standard template state code that is generated automatically in advanced mode.

 

public void MainCalculation()
{
    if ( CurrentState.DayNumber != TradingDay.DayNumber )
    {
        CurrentState.PrevDayVolume = CurrentState.TodayVolume;
        CurrentState.TodayVolume   = 0;
        CurrentState.DayNumber     = TradingDay.DayNumber;
    }
    CurrentState.TodayVolume += BarVolume;
}

/// </summary>
private void PaintbarClearState()
{
    CurrentState           = new PaintbarState();
    CurrentState.DayNumber = -1;
}

/// <summary>
/// Saves paintbar state (called internally).
/// </summary>
private void PaintbarSaveState()
{
    SavedState = CurrentState;
}

/// <summary>

/// </summary>
private void PaintbarRestoreState()
{
    CurrentState = SavedState;
}

Mike, thanks for your assistance.
