hi,

on FESX, when I made the sum of volume of each bar, I have 895 K
on T&s, I have 1871 K (the same number as the Eurex website)

Why such a difference?

there 's a way to fix this?

Hello hegh2000,

Thank you for your post.

1.) Which version of NinjaTrader are you using? (Help > About)

2.) Which data provider are you using with NinjaTrader?

hegh2000,

Thanks for the clarification.

Please right click in your chart and select Properties.
In the Properties menu, what values do the Session Begins and Session Ends properties use?

Hello hegh2000,

Please open a new chart for this instrument (File > New > Chart). In the Format Data Series window, set the template to '<None>'.

In the new chart, apply the VOL indicator and let me know whether or not these values continue to diverge.

Hi hegh2000,

Not sure that I follow - the values are now the same, or the values continue to diverge by the same amounts?

the same = false

chart = 1151 K
T&S = 2287 K

hegh2000,

Thanks for the clarification.

Are you seeing this behavior on other instruments as well, or just with FESX 06-10?

FDAX 06/10 :

chart = 124827
T&S = 191455

Hi hegh2000,

Which interval are you charting in?

The T&S window will be calculating volume based on a 1 tick interval. The chart will be using whichever interval is selected.

Due to this, some divergence in reported volume amounts can be expected if you are charting in, for example, a minute based interval.

1 tick result on FESX 06/10 :

chart (1 tick) = 1227442
chart (30 mn) = 1240460
T&S = 2379420

Hi hegh2000,

My development team reports that this is as expected.

The T&S window's volume figure is a Daily Volume that is provided by the data feed itself.

The volume bars within the chart are calculated based on historical and real-time data. This is plain Volume, which is not quite the same as Daily Volume.

So, if I have an indicator to separate real-time bid / ask (using OnMarketData), the data are based on bar volume or Daily Volume ?

Hi hegh2000,

This indicator would be using plain volume. (bar volume)
