unified real volume data

I´m pretty new to futures, so I may be the wrong person who says what is right or wrong"staring on the orderbook wthe wohle time" is it.


But on specific prices, there where I expect a stophunt, or a continuation, a breakout or whatever--
There it is golden to see in what direction the market drives with stockmarket data.

Sounds cool

The spot market drives the futures price, not the volume from FX futures.

I use Es and Dow. For those I have large doubts the Cfd drives the price.
Happy weekend

Yes CFD's don't drive anything, that's right, but the real stock spot market does drive the stock futures too, but there it makes more sense to look at the volume because the futures are bigger. I just wanted to say that the FX spot market is at least 10x bigger than the FX futures market and the volume you see there doesn't really influence the price you see on the spot and futures market.

Thanks and I wish you too

all i can say is that, the stock market has the most reliable volume data than the other markets.

futures is ok but it is just a fraction of the whole FX market. although we don't get all the volume data that is out there, at least we have an edge over the other traders that doesn't have the "real" volume data.

for the fx market, vertical tick volume is useless & often misleading (VSA don't work here). but horizontal tick volume (volume profile/market profile) works like a charm. although tick volume doesn't count the market orders that is out there, at least they take into account the frequency of the market. which is already useful in a sense (at least we can guess where is the most traded level and then mark that level as our Point Of Control, and the least traded levels as our support/resistance level). and according to idk which study, they have found that tick vol is 90% approx. to real vol. but who cares.

so my point is if u want to trade using real volume, trade the stock market.
if u want real volume and wanna trade the fx market, trade the futures market.
if u don't want to pay a monthly fee/ a subscription fee, trade the fx market.
