Hello, I'm using the "compact tools value window" and wanted clarification on the ask and bid vol data. I'm assuming that is based off trades at those prices, so for ask ( buyers lifting the ask/ aggressive) and for bid ( sellers hitting the ask/ aggressive)? thanks |

From a futures perspective (and my perspective): Volume = bid volume + ask volume for that bar Bid volume = total number of contracts traded at any bid price within that bar (bid price can fluctuate within that bar's time frame). Ask volume = total number of contracts traded at any ask price within that bar (ask price can fluctuate within that bar's time frame). Volume at the bid/ask doesn't necessarily indicate aggressive selling/buying unless one side begins to outpace the other. |
