Looking at http://www.dukascopy.com/ on the right hand side mid-screen you'll see real-time rates bid/ask (Dukascopy FOREX Interbank Rates).

More interestingly you'll also see real-time volume in millions, where are they getting this volume indicator?

Much appreciated.

It doesn't seem to be a lot of volume...perhaps that's just the volume that they've had at that particular broker. Fx all tolled does 2 trillion dollars a day I heard. When I started in FX I asked my broker why no one seems to have a volume chart, and their answer was that there's no 'central' clearing location to take a count.

I have to admit a universal volume indicator would be nice....but I'd think with someone counting all volume I'd have to pay for it in spreads (as would everyone else)!

Marketing Strategy. It's all in how you use the numbers.

If I trade 1 full lot, that ""Fx all tolled does 2 trillion dollars a day I heard."" goes up by 100,000.

The statement is indeed true. That's 2 Trillion dollars in total contract face value a day.
