how to identify the up and down values ,they have different colors on chart .
That is not caused by iVolume(..) the internal function of mt4. On my (mt4-) charts the volume is just a little vertical line in th colore I define in the chart-properties.
It seems you have an separate indicator - in this case you have to gogle for it or search here in the code base of this indicator.
the volume indicator is in navagator---->indicator---->volume---->volumes
the indicator has only one line index, but has two color ,very puzzle.
where can i find the souce code of iVolume function ?
You asked for the source code for iVolume function
Now you are referring to an indicator
the volume indicator is in navagator---->indicator---->volume---->volumes
the indicator has only one line index, but has two color ,very puzzle.
I don't know where you can view the code for this indicator
The colours are dependant on whether the bar's volume is higher or lower than the previous bar's
I found an old copy. Call it "Vol" so as to preserve the current version.

thank you ,
it seems the color has changed its rule .
in old version ,color is detemined by OPEN and CLOSE price , now is by volume itself .
