Volume indicator combined multiple brokers

Since we know that volume from 1 broker is sample size would it be possible to a open demo on all platforms and combine the data into 1 volume indicator?

Possibly even get volunteers from the more instituitional platforms (Large order) to garner a more complete picture.

The so called volume in MT4 isn't volume at all - it's just a tick counter - it tells You how many times the price has changed during given bar.

To get real volume You need an account with ECN broker and if it's a decent one it's liquidity pool is large enough to give You overall view of the market.

eTrade has consolidated tick data from a number of retail brokers but it costs and you have to find compatible charting programs.

Is this what RR is doing when he talks about gathering ticks?

I don't think true volume will ever be revealed in forex. One reason is the different leverage factors. Another is the brokers don't want to know how much money is flowing through them. I am sure there are more reasons that I am not aware of.
