Backtest with Volume Data
15 May 2021, 06:33


Yo Team, 

 

is there a way to retrieve volume data when running a backtest? I working on a order book indicador but seems like the volume data is not showing up

Hi Fron,

Volume data is available for each bar. Check Bar.TickVolume.

That's not the volume data of each bar,it's the amount of price changes within the candle (ticks) 

Is there a way of getting true volumes of Ticks ie 10 tick chart 10 orders but how big or small are these orders?? The only reference we have is how large the candle is compared to previous

Hi there,

Real volume is not available in OTC markets.
