What does "volume" mean exactly in ctrader's candle chart?
03 Jan 2022, 11:03

What does volume mean in ctrader's candle chart? For example, in the below figure, the volume says 103 (see the red square). What does 103 mean exactly? Does it mean there are 103 positions opened or closed in that bar?

Furthermore, I am using ic markets as broker. Based on my understanding, ic markets uses ECN to give clients direct access to its liquidity providers. So the volume here just include the clients who use ctrader, or all the clients who use ic markets as broker, or include all the liquidity providers?

Hi there,

What does 103 mean exactly?

It's the number of ticks received during that bar

So the volume here just include the clients who use ctrader, or all the clients who use ic markets as broker, or include all the liquidity providers?

You should ask IC Markets about this.

Hi,

A tick is a change in the Bid or Ask price.

So for example if the price changes from 1 to 1.0005 and then drops to 0.9995 in a bar. The volume (number of ticks received) is 10 ticks (suppose a tick is 0.0001). Is my understanding correct?

Hi,

No, a tick is a change in price. What you described is three changes in price. This means three ticks. Each time the price field blinks, it's one tick.
