Current day volume

Hi,

Is there a way to get the volume of the current day of a symbol?

I know I can get the last hours, minutes, … and accumulate them, but it seems overkill.

@Jz80 The current daily bar is always updated with the most recent volume, high, low, and close values. Simply fetch the current daily bar. That has the current daily volume.

A few caveats though. The daily bar is only available during market hours and, like all ‘real time’ data, one must have a paid market data subscription (ie Algo Trader Plus) to fetch full market data.

Thanks, I was indeed checking it before the market started.
