// Built in Function, sums last 100 bars sum = math.sum(volume, 100) // For better understanding keep in mind that pine script executes for each bar, starting at bar 0 at the most left (old) bar. // Initialize variable (as a float) and then calculate // Using var we init once in a time the variable var sum = 0.0 sum += volume // Other option without using var sum = 0.0 sum = nz(sum[1]) + volume // In this example the variable sum is reset to 0 every bar before accessing the last bar value and adding the volume
