Using UVXY volume on VIX Charts

[Snorg]

Cannot use labels nor indicators that use any type of volume ( example: def v = volume( "UVXY"); ) on a VIX chart ( yes, aware that VIX is an index and has no volume ).

When I add volume code ( example: def v = volume( "UVXY"); ) to any other chart, it is plotted. When I add same code to VIX chart, there is no coding error, but TOS has chosen to not allow this data to plot.

There is a work around - I can create a volume only chart and plot it beneath a VIX chart - never lines up. Tells me that the data is there, but TOS has disabled this function when VIX charts are used.

Any ideas out there? Anyone had a different experience ?

You could skip VIX and use /VX instead. /VX is VIX futures.

Yes - aware of /VX.

Curious as to why VIX charts do not allow plotting of volume of other symbols like ALL other TOS charts.

I described a workaround that I have used in the past. Yours is a good workaround too.

Tired of these workarounds.

The data is there. TOS accepts the code. But TOS won't plot it.
