OHLC TradeBars are based on time, Second, Minute, Daily, etc.
OHLC RenkoBars are based on "box size". For example, a RenkoBar is formed when the market moves 10 ticks.
What about OHLC VolumeBars? A VolumeBar is formed when N volume has been traded. For example, each volume of 10,000 trades forms a OHLC VolumeBar. Is there a name for this?
Perhaps a Tick resolution to count the volume traded, track the OHLC, then form the TradeBar when volume has reached N size.

Hi Michael,
This is not yet possible, but we have an open GitHub issue to add the functionality. Subscribe to our progress here.
One possible workaround for now is to use a RenkoConsolidator and update it with TradeBars made from this constructor where the OHLCV fields are all just the Volume value.
Best,
