There’s no such function in Adaptrade Builder called TotalVolume, so it must be in your data file and formatting. In other words, it must be labeled as a custom indicator on the Data File Format window for your symbol. Any column you don’t want to read in from your data file should have no column label. If it has a label and that label is not one of the standard ones (OHLC, volume), then it’s a custom indicator. If that’s not what you want, then simply set that column label to blank.

Hello Mike, 
Can you please share an example that shows how to use the bid & ask volume (order flow info).
Thanks,
Mohit

I don’t have any specific examples of using bid/ask. As explained in the user’s guide, Builder can use the bid/ask spread. As explained in Build Settings, Evaluation Options in the user’s guide:

 

The option Use Bid/Ask spread to determine fills uses the bid/ask spread to determine fill prices and whether or not stop and limit orders are filled. The default setting is "off". Since MetaTrader 4 uses the bid/ask spread in this manner, this option should always be selected when building and evaluating strategies for MetaTrader 4. Please see Symbol Settings for more information on the bid/ask spread.
