Bloomberg historical data field: average volume

Every ticker.

 

It didn't work for me either apparently.

I would try HELP HELP.

 

Sorry, I misunderstood what you want. You want the 30 days average volume of all stocks. It's possible to do it with any charting software. All charting software is capable of scanning the database.
1. Sum the volume of each ticker symbol for a period 30 days from a start to end date and dump to a text file.
2. Use a script(either python or java) and sort the text file by date
3. For each date, sum the volume and divide by the number of observations
4. Result is in time series of total average volume

 

Here is a composite of average Close price of 3 stocks example in Amibroker. It can be done for Volume and many stocks.

Unfortunately Bloomberg confirmed that the variable is not historically available despite being indicated as "historical" in the system. However, it can be programmed within Bloomberg for Excel.

 

that sucks.
