Don't know about the volume, but for S&P day session is /SPH0 and globex
session is /SPH0G.
If you want both together in one chart you'll have to use the mini symbol
/ESH0G.
They'd be a lot less useless if they'd allow users to split grain, energy
and metals prices like this instead of running all sessions together on one
chart making indicators useless. Nothing like 4 or 5 hours of trading and
20 hours of flatline nite trading to make indicators useless.
