Question 1

What is Volume (Quote)?

Accepted Answer

Volume (Quote) represents the total trading volume in the **quote currency** during a candle period. For example, in BTC/USDT, the quote volume is measured in USDT (dollars).

Question 2

How it works

Accepted Answer

The engine calculates quote volume as `price * base_volume` for each candle. This gives you dollar-denominated volume, which is more intuitive for setting absolute thresholds.

Question 3

Dollar volume filter

Accepted Answer

- **Volume (Quote) > 1000000** — Only trade when more than $1M USDT was exchanged - Ensures sufficient liquidity for your trades
