Highest Volume of the year

Hello,
Appreciate if someone can help with the below thinkscript. I am looking to show a plot on the chart on the day / bar of the highest volume of the past year. This script displays more than one day in the past year or sometimes doesn't display the plot at all .

def IsDaily = GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.DAY ;
def IsWeekly = GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.WEEK;
def Ismonthly = GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.MONTH ;

def length = if IsDaily then 252 else if IsWeekly then 52 else if Ismonthly then 12 else Double.NaN;
def highvol = Highest(volume, length);

plot top = if volume == highvol then 1 else Double.NaN;

top.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.TRIANGLES);
top.SetDefaultColor(color.WHITE);
 
Solution
This below code seems to solve the problem:

def IsDaily = GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.DAY ;
def IsWeekly = GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.WEEK;
def Ismonthly = GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.MONTH ;
def length = if IsDaily then 252 else if IsWeekly then 52 else if Ismonthly then 12 else Double.NaN;

#def LastBar = HighestAll(if isNaN(close[-1]) and !IsNaN(close) then BarNumber() else Double.NaN);
#def BarCD = LastBar - BarNumber() <= Length;
#def HighVol = HighestAll(if BarCD then Volume else Double.nan);
def highvol = HighestAll(volume);
#plot VolLine = if BarCD then HighVol else Double.nan;

plot top = if volume == highvol then volume else Double.NaN...
Ruby:
def IsDaily = GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.DAY ;
def IsWeekly = GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.WEEK;
def Ismonthly = GetAggregationPeriod() == AggregationPeriod.MONTH ;
def length = if IsDaily then 252 else if IsWeekly then 52 else if Ismonthly then 12 else Double.NaN;
#
def LastBar =
    HighestAll(if isNaN(close[-1]) and !IsNaN(close) then BarNumber() else Double.NaN)
;
def BarCD =
    LastBar - BarNumber() <= Length
;
def HighVol =
    HighestAll(if BarCD then Volume else Double.nan)
;
plot VolLine =
    if BarCD then HighVol else Double.nan
;
#
plot top = if volume == highvol then volume else Double.NaN;
top.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.TRIANGLES);
top.SetDefaultColor(color.WHITE);
top.setlineWeight(5);

Thanks for the help Joshua, but unfortunately this renders the chart unusable. I am unable to see the bars / candles.https%3A//i.imgur.com/kbPI6BG.png[/img]']

Im posting from my phone at the moment, what am I looking at here, I can't see it? Is your volume overlayed in the price chart?

Try putting the volume in it's own panel and make sure the code is on the volume section in edit studies and tell me what happens.

https://tos.mx/X8DGDT This may help, volume indicator showing total, buy, and sell volumes as a histogram. Also average volume as a line plot. Bars with a specified percent over the average volume are marked on the bar. Additional Volume information provided by labels.

Solution
That will work assuming you have only one years worth of data on the chart. Otherwise, it will show you the highest volume for how ever far back the chart goes.
 
Ok, so I am home now and at an actual computer.

Change this line:

Code:
def BarCD =
    LastBar - BarNumber() <= Length
;

to

Code:
def BarCD =
    LastBar - BarNumber() + 1 <= Length
;

The start of the year was off by one bar if you want to get really specific, but that is not the problem, in fact, what is the problem? That is the highest volume in the last years worth of data, is it not?

I do appreciate you getting back to me, but this too doesn't solve the problem as you can see we don't see the candlestick chart. I want to be able to see the chart as well as have a plot shown on it signifying the day of the highest volume to drawn my eye to it while studying the chart.
