Hello bill2023 ,

Thank you for your post.

You may have to modify the built in VOL indicator for this using coding.

Is the automated strategy you are working with, a strategy coded by yourself using the Strategy Builder, or was it acquired from a 3rd party?

If it is your own coded strategy, please contact our engineering team at

and they will be able to guide you in how to incorporate 0 Volume bars.

If it is a 3rd party strategy, you would want to contact the developer for assistance with their software.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

What do you mean "I just need to see the price candle stick".

If you are only seeing _ then you are seeing the candlestick.

When you see _ that means all prices are exactly equal.

That is, Open == Close == High == Low.

The _ is a very special kind of candlestick where all the prices
of that candlestick are the same, it's called a Doji candle.

It's still a Doji candle when the High/Low equal the Open/Close.

It's a bit rarer than regular Doji candles, so I like to call this
phenomenon a 'Super Doji' candle.

What causes a 'Super Doji' candle?

Answer: Little to no volume in that candle, which can occur
in especially slow markets, such as the overnight period.

You cannot see a 'stick' in a Super Doji candle because the
High and Low never moved up or down.

The 'stick' is not there, and that's on purpose, otherwise
the candle representation would be lying about its prices.

It may be rare or non-existent in certain kinds of charts,
such as Range or Renko charts, but it can be a rather
common occurrence during slow markets for smaller
time-based charts.

For example, I usually see Super Dojis all the time on
1-minute charts during especially slow market periods.

Charts with longer timeframes for each bar may not
have many Super Doji candles. Why? Because there
is more time for the High/Low prices to move during
the life of that bar -- think about it, more time means
higher probability of buyers and sellers stepping in,
which is needed to move High/Low prices.

I mean, it's probably an extremely rare thing to see
a Super Doji on a 60-minute chart (but for some thinly
traded markets, maybe not that rare).

Just my 2˘.

Just to be clear, if you are seeing _ _ then that's
just two Super Doji candles occurring back to back.

Hello bill2023 ,

bltdavid's description is spot on.

0 Volume bars more common on smaller/faster time intervals.

They are less common on longer time interval charts, because as bltdavid said, there is more time for the High/Low prices to move during .the life of that bar

If you believe 0 bars should be plotting on your chart, but they are not, please send us a screenshot of what you are seeing so we can compare/confirm.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I want to see Doji candle, right now on my live Ninjatrader chart there is no Doji candle if 0 volume. On my historical Ninjatrader chart ,there is Doji candle if 0 volume.
