How do add two volume bars together (different days)?

[loujen213]

I want to add two volume bars together from different days.


9:31 am bar volume on 12/15/2011 = 5000
9:31 am bar volume on 12/14/2011 = 5300

then store them as a variable?

thank you for the help

Hello loujen213,

GetBar() can be used to get the bars ago value of a specified date time. There is a sample available here:

Here's an untested snippet for one way you could use it:

DateTime dateTime1 = new DateTime(2011, 12, 14, 9,31,0);
DateTime dateTime2 = new DateTime(2011, 12, 15, 9,31,0);	
double myVolume = Volume[GetBar(dateTime1)] + Volume[GetBar(dateTime2)];
