Grid

Volumes
Volumes in Indices represent tick volumes or the number of times the tick for stock trading price changes during a specific time period. The greater the tick shifts the more the volumes. These volumes in Indices are used to estimate the number of traders who participate in the stock market.
Volumes are drawn as green bars below each candlestick, & the height of these green bars represents the tick volumes for a particular candle. ( Shotcut keys for Volumes: Ctrl+L )
