I appreciate your effort. But this is actually a kind of volume of the ticks and not the actual volume of the contracts that have been traded. The cTrader has 'tick volume' or simply put 'number of ticks'. One can take a position with 10 contracts at a given price. Another can take 0.1 position on the same price. In reality it means 10.1 volume contracts at that particular price. But cTrader sees that as a single tick, because all the contracts were at the same price. If the first person with 10 contracts on price x had taken position and second person 0.1 contract on price x+1 had taken position. Then the tick volume on first price (of 10 contracts) was 1 and tick volume on second price (of 0.1 contract) was also 1.
Because tick is a price change and has nothing to do with number of contracts at a specific price. Because cTrader only has the number of ticks and no volume of contracts, this indicator or any other that does anything with volume is misleading.
