volume is not volume(amount) as we think. it is tick counter for each bar.

thank you.

I was thinking the same thing for last 4 years.
on sunday I need the volume values to use at an EA first time in my life. what I find out is, in reality the histogram represent the price change( tick count ) of each bar. not amout (volume traded )

what ironic. same name as the trade volume(amount) but telling completly different story.

fyi

Hmmm. I do not think that the result of your investigation is correct. As far as I can see the histogram has nothing at all to do with the amount of ticks covered by a bar. I am pretty sure it represents the volume of lots traded.

Hi Steve,

It seems you are right about the number of ticks. Following the movements in "Market Watch" window and looking at the volume indicator in "Data Window" it becomes clear. Always good to learn something new.

this has nothing to do with the trades psted. this is another idea currently working on.
why I am looking for volumes.

here is the story;

when price move a direction it has break distance as every moving object.
we can not know how much it will move but we can calculate the min bareak distance when breaked.

this distance is the profit.

think that way.

if we can calculate the speed of price and if we know the Mass ( means volume ) we can calculate the real momentum of the price. this momentum will give us the min break distance of the price.
when calculated min break distance > our profit target then trade will be open to the price directon.

there could be 3 poss move.

1 price can keep moving our direction which is good.
2 price can break, then we will wait for the break distance to exit.
3 reverse move. if the calculations are correct this should be rare.

so I am looking to find the volumes at least traded by the mean broker.

I agree it should go a bit higher before continuing going down:

momentum EA ( actually Acceleration EA )

currently I am looking the 20 tick acce. on the top of that when I look 20^2 ticks acce same direction it seems to be work.

but this has to be tested for a long time.

published account still trading with only first 20 tick acce and collecting data.
