Hi FranR,

Try this indicator:

Code

                            
vars: dailyTotalVol(0);

if Date <> Date[1] then
    dailyTotalVol = Ticks
else
    dailyTotalVol = dailyTotalVol + Ticks;
    
Plot1(dailyTotalVol, "Daily Total Volume");

Regards,

Edit: Just saw there is a 'Volume Today' indicator in MultiCharts, so no need to make a own indicator.

Hi Jura, I need indicator for calculating total volume for all 50symbol - composite total volume
I hope that I am now better explain, my intention.

MC can only calculate 1 instrument in the scanner. So you could
- send the 50 scanner values to excel and calculate it in excel
- send it via ADE to another mastercode
- open a chart with 50 symbols and use data2,data3,...,data50 in the code and display it in the chart

Where do you intend to show this total volume for all 50 symbols? If you plot it in the Market Scanner, you'll have 50 lines with each line display the same volume.

True, plus:
- You could store the (real-time) total volume for each symbol in a Global Variable, and plotting the composite of this in a indicator (if I'm not mistaken).

As you can see, there plenty of possibilities.

I tried this morning to make an indicator which would calculate the total composite daily volume - and I can't. I've tried it with ELCollections/ADE, the default GlobalVariables, and arrays. Sorry FranR.

Perhaps SPMC is more knowledgeable about this.

Jura,

use at the GV something like
SetRtn1 = GVSetFloat( getappinfo (aiRow), volume) ; to get the volume for each scanner row.
