Volume chart

[spikebuck77]

Is there any way to make a 5 minute chart that shows volume bars? I am looking for a way to be able to find out how many contracts traded in a 5 minute period.

If I select volume in the period type it creates a chart that goes to the next candle when the period value is hit.

Hi spikebuck77,

Thank you for your post.

To view volume for a 5 minute bar you will want to create a 5 minute Bar Type chart, and then on that created chart add one of NinjaTrader's different volume indicators. To add those indicators to the chart please right-click and then select Indicators. In the indicators menu you can navigate to the volume indicators that are sorted alphabetically.

Additionally, there are some real-time volume indicators that may interest you as well for viewing volume data for a 5 minute chart.
