Calling all Volume

[buzybill]

How would I call volume for different stock and different time frame?

Example One, if I'm looking at CSX in 1 Min chart, how would I call CSX volume at current 5 min chart, daily chart and yesterday's volume. Also NSC volume at current 5 min chart and daily chart, and yesterday's volume .

Example two, if I'm looking at sp #f chart how would I call volume for $TVOL(NYSE Volume) and $TVOLQ (NASDAQ Volume) for both 5 min, daily, & yesterday's charts, ?

Thanks,

Billy

Calling Volume

ex2) $TVOL, $TVOLQ (5 min ,daily, yesterday's)

You can do that by passing the symbol and/or interval to the volume() function using either the sym() function [if you want to pass the symbol or symbol and interval] or the inv() function [if you want to pass the interval only]
See the customVolume.efs which is included in the EFS2 Custom folder for an example of how to use the volume() function and base it on external symbol(s) and/or interval(s)

Thanks Alex,
I think I got most of my questions answered, but how about $tvol & $tvolq? It seems to me that volume for that is the price it self not the volume. Am I correct. If so how would I call Volume for $tvol? In 5 min, Daily, and yesterday. Example would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Billy

In eSignal intraday volume of indices is usually tick volume ie the number of updates in a given interval and not the actual volume (for more information see this article in the eSignal KnowledgeBase).
If you want to retrieve the price of $TVOL [or $TVOLQ] then instead of using volume(sym("$TVOL,your_interval")) you would use close(sym("$TVOL,your_interval"))
For a series of examples on using the efs2 functions (in addition to the specific ones provided at the link included in my prior reply) you may want to see this thread
