You can see that it's really the tick frequency when you display marketVol() on EUR/USD live with an MT4 connection, and at the same time observe the ticks in the MT4 terminal. That's why the manual mentions "tick frequency" for MT4 marketVol, not "Volume". And no, there's no historical spread by MT4 either, at least as to my knowledge.

Hi. Yes I might be mistaken on this matter.

A quick google search indeed revealed that the functionality labeled as "volume" in MT4 returns a tick frequency.

Still there appears to be spread information according to the MT4 manual, at least for live feeds. Why is that not bridged?

I will ask a buddy who has great experience with MT4 and forward his assessment on this matter - if he has any.

Do you have opinions about the other 3 issues I mentioned?
