S ssrrkk Feb 19, 2012 #1 Do you use volume information in your strategy? 1. yes, volume tells me something about liquidity, price discovery, and the state of the players involved 2. no, volume does not help in trading, it is a distraction and gives misleading signals

kut2k2 Feb 19, 2012 #3 False dichotomy. What if you would trade volume if you could but you can't (e.g., FX)?
R R. Raskolnikov Feb 19, 2012 #4 Yes, volume is very helpful. But like all things, it needs to be interpreted correctly.
J jcl Feb 20, 2012 #5 Quote from kut2k2: False dichotomy. What if you would trade volume if you could but you can't (e.g., FX)? More... FX brokers usually give a tick frequency instead of trade volume. But as far as we've tested it, it has little predictive value.
