Description

QuoteBar does not provide volumes, but my broker Oanda provides volumes, and since all instruments are managed as QuoteBar, I dont have access to volumes in Lean.

Is it possible to add this feature?

Research direction

Start by reading the existing QuoteBar model and the Oanda data-handling path to understand how instruments and volume are represented. The issue does not name files or tests, so first determine the intended alternative data type and compatibility requirements; done should mean Oanda volume is available without breaking existing QuoteBar consumers.
