It has noting to do with the volume indicator but with the incoming data.
Just load 2 ES charts for example with different front months and you will see that they will be the same because it is loading the data from the current month
yes, the volume indicator is fine, but the "daily volume" in market analyzer is not. that's why I suggested to use the volume indicator instead of "daily volume".
I am wondering if you may be confusing the Daily Volume column vs a column showing a value for the Volume indicator?
For clarification:
Volume Indicator column - Is calculated from the DataSeries (1 minute , Daily bar etc..) that it is based on and this series is different depending on the Merge policy settings.
Daily Volume column - This is not an indicator but a passed through value from your market data provider.
In short -
As of the time of this post, Zen-Fire is not currently pushing through Daily Volume thus this column in the MA would not show any value. If you opt to then use a Volume Indicator, if you have merge policy set to merge, you will get the same values at this time, if you set to DoNotMerge, you will get the values you seek but you will also only get a chart series for that specific contract...not a merged contract.
Forget the Volume that is not the problem.
The problem is that when you open 2 charts, one with the current trading month and one for the next trading month you get 2 identical charts! That is not how NT was working with the mergepolicy on.
Yes that is expected and has behaved this way since version 1 of NinjaTrader 7 when the current date is less than the pre-defined rollover date set in the Instrument Manager. This is what I was trying to say in my prior response to you in post #14 highlighted below in blue.
This is a result of using the Merge Policy which will use the same historical bar data until the pre-defined rollover date in NinjaTrader.
If you require further assistance on this matter, I am happy to put you in touch with one of my customer service representatives.
