Traders should have access to real VOLUME: sum of all transactions value in a certain time
20 Feb 2023, 12:23


As I understand "Volume" data in cTrader is always based on tick data, it's a sum of ticks in a candle.

It's pretty useless and even misleading data, imo. What we all traders need is real volume, sum of all transactions value in a certain time.

As Spotware is in the centre of all trades, it has real volume data.

Why we traders have no access to it?

cTrader is not the centre of all trades. It just streams price feeds from liquidity providers. There is no such info available in OTC markets.

Hello, how is it possible for this indicator to show volume, is it also only based on tick-vol ? https://ctrader.com/algos/indicators/show/4379/

Thank you for your reply. Would cTrader/Spotware Systems be interested in providing real-time volume data from CME to it's user like a datafeed (which also can be paid for)? I know a few platforms who are doing this already. I have a contact there and could provide. 

Thanks and best

CME volume data is not relevant to OTC markers
