How to detect no volume like on forex

[alanlopen]

I have a demo account on forex.com and the charts don't have any volume. I would like a boolean to use in my indicator to detect this deal with it accordingly.

Hello alanlopen,

When you say there's no volume are you using the VOL indicator or what way are you checking the volume currently? For historical data the volume is all the same but you should see updating volume in realtime generated bars.

Yes VOL reports the same volume, for eg on USDJPY it is 10k, but I can't use that. Is there a smart way to detect this case ? or at least when we are on historical data on Forex (ideally compatibl with all forex brokers on ninja).

Hello alanlopen,

You can use the State to know when its historical

if(State == State.Historical)
