Question about Summation Study Bid Volume / Ask Volume

View Count: 208

The Summation study has "Bid Volume" and "Ask Volume" under Input Data.

Link: Summation

#1. Does "Bid Volume" indicate Sell Market Orders executed at the Bid (= Executed bid trades) and vice versa for "Ask Volume"?

#2. In other words, if I choose Summation -> Bid Volume, does it show the summation of sell market orders executed at the Bid?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I already use the Numbers Bars (footprint) to see the executed orders.

I am asking about the Summation study specifically.

I read the definitions section as well as the Input Data descriptions, but still wasn't clear, which is why I reached out to Sierra Chart support team.

Again, my question was if the Summation study's "Bid Volume" indicate Sell Market Orders executed at the Bid (= Executed bid trades)

Yes, it indicates the volume executed at the bid from Sell Market Orders. Some inference there when it comes to icebergs or limit orders moved into best bid/ask but it really can't be anything else since an execution usually requires a marketable order. Limit orders don't cross the spread.
