Re: Volume Based Charts Request for HELP

Browns, TS uses the volume from entire trades. If you are charting, say, 500V bars and the bar is up to 499, and the next trade is 127 contracts, you will get a 626V bar. They don't split trades.

If you want Easylanguage compatability and EXACT volume bars and don't mind a work in progress, have a look at MultiChats (Trading and Charting Software for FOREX, Stock, Future and Option Markets) . They are great people behind it. MC has some issues so I'd suggest you read their forum but you can port all your TS stuff over easily, take a 30day free trial and run it off your TradeStation data feed. MC supports about 10 other data feeds.

I use it, eSignal and TS and prefer MC. Still trying to wean myself of the other two.
