Understanding Volume - Bought / Sold

I am using
sc.BaseData[SC_ASKVOL][sc.Index]
sc.BaseData[SC_BIDVOL][sc.Index]


I am trying to understand the volume that is actually bought / sold on the ES mini S&P 500 not just the trades placed on the trading DOM. sc.BaseData[SC_BIDVOL] has the following definition:

sc.BaseData[SC_BIDVOL] or sc.BidVolume[]: The array of Bid Volumes for each bar. This represents the volumes of the trades that occurred at the Bid price or lower. A trade that occurs between the Bid or Ask and is considered a downtick, will have the volume of that trade added to Bid Volume.

Does "occured" mean transacted in the above definition? Sorry for the detail here. I am just making sure my formula is right and ES moves so fast it's hard to tell from the DOM. Thank you for any knowledge you can provide here

Yes.

You can also use the Bid Volume versus Ask Volume study to see this volume data as well.

In the prior post we were referring to the Bid Volume versus Ask Volume study.
