Using volume alongside with the bar chart is important if not absolutely vital for traders (VSA).
In my experience volume has become very important, and here lies an area of further research, even purely on technical level, as simple as where, or which platform and charting software provides a reliable volume (real volume as opposed of tick volume) data.
I know that for Forex, there is only tick volume that is available.
Indices, and I trade DAX and DOW, but generally indices volume data is available, apart from a tick volume like on MT4.
Currently I use IG Proreral charting, but would like another source to compare.
I also use MT4, but find tick volume on MT4 less useful, especially on shorter TFs as the Proreal volume.
I would be grateful for comments on that subject, especially as to which platforms and charting software provide a good and reliable volume data, including a live volume data which can be utilised on shorter TFs as well as on loner TFs.
My intention is to sharpen my perspective on that subject, please forgive me if you find this to be too basic.
Many thanks to all that are willing to contribute on this tread!
