Volume tool??

[JP782]

Is there a tool (possibly already in TOS) to display the total volume at whatever location/time you place your pointer at the volume study?

the current volume study tells you this info but it tells you the total candle you cant put the pointer in middle of the candle ad have it tell you up to that point

No it only tells you the volume for that bar... for example on ADGI at 10:42am it shows 274844 shares, Im using vol avg study so it also shows me 291617 at that time, there is nothing showing total volume for the day at that point

Thats what Im looking for if there is a way to have it show the total volume for the day wherever you place your pointer

You wana see total day volume when your on a let’s say 10 min chart? If so there is a volume bar script that shows total volume and current bar volume. not sure if that helped

The following code provides the total volume for each chart type.

In the image below, the Daily chart matches the total volume traded as shown in the watchlist using this script. However, using the same script on an intraday chart does not match the watchlist total volume. In researching this, it appears that the intraday volume does not match the Daily volume on many trading platforms. Here is a quote from Linnsoft that is the likely reason

"Charts that utilize a periodicity of "Daily" will show a different quantity of Volume when compared to charts that utilize an intraday periodicity like 1 minute or 1 Day*. This is caused by the fact that certain types of trades, such as block trades, spread trades and market trades, are considered by the exchange when reporting the cumulative daily volume for a specific symbol or contract. However, those trades are not represented in the tick or 1-minute intraday data for the symbol. These trades together make up the difference observed between the daily volume and the sum of the intraday volume."

If you find the intraday total volume that can be displayed by hovering your cursor is useful. then this should help.

def   v           = if GetDay() != GetDay()[1] then volume else v[1] + volume;
plot  totalvolume = v;
totalvolume.setdefaultColor(color.cyan);
totalvolume.setpaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.VALUES_BELOW);
