It's a wonder that people bother with price at all, isn't it?
Their own Kung Fu series on TV?
Volume analysis is to be discarded as it is "too much information"

Well, if u think it's snake oil, that's okay too.
I read somewhere that there were Native-American tribes out in the American West that would give away these little yellow rocks, mainly because they were everywhere. They just could not c what ol' paleface was so exited about.
an excellent explanation of the fact that you confuse "opinions" with evidence". Thus your complete inability to defend your 'if this happens, then the following MUST happen."
ARGT in the courtroom: your honor! No other explanation is possible. My unfounded assertion is the only one peopl shoud listen to
What ARGT expects as the judge's decision: Oh, if you say so. It must be true! Case dismissed!
What everyone else knows will be the judge's decision: Son, did you ever make it out of second grade? it is called "EVIDENCE" not "YOUR PERSONAL BELIEF". Now GET OUT OF MY COURTROOM!!!
And by the way, what you have found is called Iron Pyrites AKA Fool's Gold. Sorry for your loss.
And I have found it saves a lot of time to put the bottom 10% of Thinkers on ET on the ignore list. Welcome to it.
If you don't like noise, then you should turn down the volume.
Without volume you can't hear the market talk.
Would you buy a TV without a volume control, a car without a gas pedal or a greyhound with no hind legs?
There's a thread with a photo of zillions of shiny cars and no buyers. The PA sales tag on the car lots is still strong but volume is talking...
When a greyhound has loads of punters backing it the price contracts even though nothing has changed about the dog or its opposition. The only thing that changed was the volume.
That's why it's hard to get correct daily volume: they know the insiders are exposed by volume so they put the wrong days volume beneath the daily bar. Intraday is okay.
So next time you are in line for a Big Mac, remember it's the volume of sales that drives the price. If the place gets empty the share price will fall.
In gambling it's called the weight of money and it's monitored in realtime because just like the stock market, volume tells you who knows what and what is going to happen.
The mug punters only look at the price

Yes it's a tool and you are correct, if you can't understand how to use it then it is useless.
But no, it's not just a tool, any old tool. This is the one that the exchanges and MM's don't want us to have.
Getting correct daily volume is an art because of deliberate attempts to fool us. The MM's and exchanges don't think it's just another tool or they wouldn't go to such lengths to disguise or hide what is happening.
Dark Pools exist because volume talks but it takes time and effort to learn the lingo.

You only have mental problems if you actually believe what you said.
EXCHANGES don't want people to have it? Exchanges have ZERO interest in what traders use. They only care if instruments get traded. And since when do MM have any capability to prevent people from learning about volume? Large numbers of books and advisors and forums and websites keep pushing this worthless thing called "volume analysis." And depth of market provides decent a picture of current volume to all via their brokers.

This only makes sense to conspiracy theorists and the mentally ill. Volume is worthless, and every time people challenge the believers to prove it (like Jack Hershey), they become much more evasive than the "exchanges and MMs" you so claim
