// Learn how to manage the volume data, separate it in groups for comparison.
// Why is it important? Volume indicates commitment of the traders with the price movement.
// it may help you create strategies based on volume trading, trend and momentum.

// We separate this code in functions to help you understand it easily and apply it for your own use.
