He dangled a carrot in front of everyone and decided NOT to share and disappeared. Not cool.

When I have some spare time I am definitely going to look into coding one. Might be a while, but when done the indie will be shared here.

Yep, not cool, but you know what does it mean.. It works :hi:

Btw Raj4x, I can´t wait

The contrary... impossible to make any indi for volume because the total volume in forex is unknown to everybody. Including Banks or whosoever. Too long to explain. Usually, when someone realize it, they tend to go on different directions with their quest.

The only thing available or valuable to "single" institutions is "their own" order book. But missing the other 99,999999999 info of the market. That Allows them, in a tiny bit, to market make their own clients. But
anyway, in forex, orders books are more false then a 3 dollar bill.

Bottom line. People that talk about volume indis for forex, either do not understand the forex market or
setting you up to sell you useless crap.

So tired of this argument, it is tick volume we know this. It can provide an edge if used correctly with traditional price action. More of an edge than any squiggly lines, histograms or any other color changing indicator people use put all their faith in

I'm also so sick of this argument. Tick volume has been proven to be MORE reliable by professional FX traders. People that bring up this argument on every forum have NO idea regarding this subject.

I am also tired to argue. Tick volume correlates nearly in 80-90% with "real" volume. That is pretty enough
And volume on futures market is very good as well. High frequency trading spreads "right" price and volume over all markets very quickly (spot, furures. ETF, CDF and so on).

It is a friendly reminder that "real volume" is unknown.
Tick volume is meaningless. (defined as the number of times the "quotes" changes in a X time). No professionals it . The concept is so tragic that It is almost funny.

Come on ZenTrader.... "Tick volume correlates nearly in 80-90% with "real" volume. That is pretty enough "???

How would anybody know the correlation when the real volume is unknown?

In top of that, even if volume was known.... still would mean little for any analysis.
The nature of forex is completely different then regulated /centralized markets.

Guys, Re-read this thread in a few years and see if you have changed your thinking. No point in keep the argument unless someone present some facts on the subject.
