Q1: is it possible too have information about all the volume traded in the forex market?
Q2:Can you trust in the volume given by your particular broker(.. and a broker that uses the MT , could be a very small broker!)?
Q3: So , if you anwser NO to Q1 and Q2, how do you solve the " volume problem"?....are you going to use/elaborate a kind of " tick_indicator"?
Q4:..and if you use that " tick_indicator" , what kind of infomation are "he tiking"?...are he tiking all the market information?... or just your particular broker( MT) information?
Q5: is there a indirect way to solve the " all_ the_volume" problem ?...a kind of factor that can be mesured in any platform and is independente of broker A, B or C ?
Q6: Could it be said that when there is volatility, there is activity above the normal in the market and because of that there is also more volume traded?
Q7: So, can you se the importance and simplicity of this statement:
VOLUME =~ VOLATILITY
breakmov
hi breakmov ...
I really have to agree with some points in your mind ..
but : I really doubt that you don't give the Volume the needed effort to understand it well ...
Anyway ... I hope that you can help us here and give us YOURs ideas about this : VOLUME =~VOLATILITY.
First of all forex ticks volume could never compare with stocks volume but we can get some picture from it (of course during news we can forget about volume as many MT4 brokers freezes).
What i would like to see is one indicator showing ticks volume from several crosses on 1 chart so we can see if there is something preparing.
I mainly look usdchf and gbpusd charts and often i miss when jpy is moving
so indicator from other crosses could help us to see something is coming on 1 chart.
Since the volume we see in Metatrader charts is limited to our broker, it would be interesting if as a group several traders collaborated to share the volume data across several major brokers. This would be closer to "true volume" than if we just looked at one broker.
Then again, "According to CNN, one retail broker estimates retail volume at $25-50 billion daily, which is about 2% of the whole market", so all together retail forex users don't add up to much.
