iVolume Question

Hi guys can I use
if(iVolume("EURJPY", mUTF, 2) > 1000)
instead of
if(iVolume(NULL, mUTF, 2) > 1000)

Because if I use NULL everything works perfect but when I put "EURJPY" I am not getting any alerts...
I have also attached whole code.


THX for help!!

If you need to put the symbol name, be sure to spell it exactly like your broker (ie. pre/suffix).

If you call only the current symbol (the chart you attach the indicator on), just use NULL.

EURJPY should work if your broker does not use suffixes. If your symbolname is for example EURJPYm then it does not work.
So you should edit the variable or autodetect the symbol-suffix, maybe in that way:

Inserted Code
string GetSymbolSuffix() {
string suffix="";
 if (StringLen(Symbol())>6) suffix = StringSubstr(Symbol(),6,StringLen(Symbol())-6);
 return(suffix);
}
PM me with coding requests and I'll probably put you on my ignore list

I have read your post but problem is that it is too complicated for me
I am not good coder only beginner.
I can read your code but don;t understand how it will work in my code.
Because I can't see where to put my exact symbol what I want. For example GBPJPY or another JPY pair.

THX

Just add "m" to your symbol name : "EURJPYm"
