Average Volume in Formula

[mlsignups]

I put an indicator on the screen to show on days with unusual volume the total amount of volume using setline.

I'd like to put the multiple of normal or average volume.    I've tried to use SymbolData.AvgVol but I'm not sure what average that is pulling because my math is not coming out right.

Is there a way to use the variables at the top or the variables in formulas to just do my own EMA or MA of volume to use?   (If not, can you tell me what SymbolData.AvgVol is calculating?

Thanks

if you are using a Historical Chart scan, then yes, you can do your own MA and just use that. Avg Volume can either come from datafeed - usually 60 days, or computed by MT (also 60 day). for MT, it is computed when historical backfill occurs, so if doing scan, if you do auto scan it should compute it.
