Volume wrong on daily ES #F chart

[gatorguy]

Yesterday was a hugh volume day for the S&P futures. However, when looking at the daily chart, for ES #F, yesterday's volume is being reported on today's pre-market candle. Why?

Thanks,

Thanks, Alex. Not sure I understand why it is posted that way, but it does explain what I am seeing.

I don't have an answer as to why however if you want to display the daily volume for futures on the appropriate bar then you could do that with a relatively simple script like the one enclosed below
Alex

function preMain(){
    setCursorLabelName("Volume");
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_HISTOGRAM);
    setDefaultBarThickness(2);
}

var xVol = null;

function main(){

    if(xVol==null) xVol = volume();
    
    return offsetSeries(xVol,-1);
}
