"relies on volume updates expecting Calculate 'On each tick' or 'On bar close'" error

[guillembm]

Hello,

I have been checking the log tab and sometimes I see the error message " XXXX relies on volume updates expecting Calculate 'On each tick' or 'On bar close'" when I request volume data. Does this mean that I cannot use 'on price change' when using volume data?

Hello guillembm,

Yes, it indicates the volume based indicator need to use 'On bar close' or 'On each tick'. If you select 'On each price', it will result in the volume only updating the values of the indicator when price changes, which will be inaccurate to the actual volume on the bar.
