Volume Bars is not plotting

[bassam]

Hi,

While connected to IB live feed, I try to plot ES Volume Bars chart type ( 10K Volume), but only one bar shows, what am I doing wrong?

Edit:
I got the answer : IB does not supply historical tick data .

Is there a way to make the volume bar be based on minute not tick value ? so new bar will be plotted if the accumulated volume is more than (10K) and at least one minute has passed since last volume bar ....

Hello bassam,

Unfortunately this is not supported. Volume bars can only be build by tick data in NinjaTrader. You would need to create a custom bar type.

Would you please advice any reference to start from.. example of custom bar ?

You can find custom bar types under "Version 7 Miscellaneous" on our forum.
