The volume is stored in the symbol data base and you can compare the values with eSignal. Click on Symbol and then on Quote Editor. If you want to dump the data to Excel csv file search on Export EOD or Intraday to .csv file in the AFL Library on the AB site. The instructions are in the code. That is also good for backing up your data once in a while. For comparison I get ES from Interactive Brokers and my volume for 11:45 bar is 30766. IB does not time stamp their data and AB uses the sys clock so the value may only be close.
Also there are a number of indicators that show the volume and you can drag that onto a price chart. One more thing before you run into it the hard way. AB will truncate your database to the number of bars set in the File > Database settings. Change that value to around 500000 to keep about 8 months of 1 minute data and save it about once a month in an archive. My program will dump the data for all symbols in your database is you set to all symbols and all quotations. If you want to make the price lines bold right click on the chart and under the price style check thick. I don't believe there is a global setting. If you are plotting your own data look under Plot styles for thick.
