Hello,

I'm facing a weird behaviour when changing the volume multiplier in historical chart

How I got there :
- I'm connected to the Cryptocureencies data feed
- I open LTCUSD in timeframe : D1.
- I add the volume studie
- Then I change in "Advanced settings 2" the "volume multiplier" to 0.0001 to correct the volume.
=> All volumes are affected except the current one

In Intraday chart the current volume is affected normally.

Is this a bug or am I missing something ?

See screenshot attached.

This is by design. Refer to:
Chart Settings: Volume and Open Interest Multiplier (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Symbol >> Symbol Settings menu)

What you instead need to use is this particular Volume study:

Thank you for coming back to me.

I displayed "volume bitcoin" and it works properly.

I normally access the volumes by using sc.Volume[sc.Index] in my custom study.

Can I access the "volume bitcoin" from a custom study ?

Thanks for your help

The solution is to multiply that value by sc.MultiplierFromVolumeValueFormat().

It is always safe to multiply by the value returned by this function.
