use Volumes indicator in backtest

hello

i'm unable to get data from the Volumes() indicator when backtesting : the volumes appears only when using on a live chart.

is it normal? is there an indi that i could use instead the built-in Volumes() indi?

and i know this isn't real volume

thanks

Jeff

one very simple method: load this volume indicator and save the values with an script/indi/ea in a file. use this file for your backtest. i dont know if this can work (not tested) , but looks logic for me. but would be the most easiest way maybe and most accurate.

or other way more difficult : get tick data. then add changed ticks together for each 1,5 15.... min bar. so you get whats calculated in the volume indicator.
because volume indicators (stupid name for what its is in metatrader: better price change indicator) are calculated in metatrader with chnaged price, and this is not stored directly, you need to download quotes from dukascopy or other sources as tickchart, then use excel or programmed ea that calculated from this file the number of price changes inside this bar.

but i need to warn you ofcourse, because its source from other brokers, you can habve different results, because youre broker can have more or less price changes.

this indicator is not often much worth , because its different in many brokers.

maybe you find some tick data for your broker.
