Volume and its Meaning
Volume is one of the most basic and beneficial concepts to understand when trading stocks. Volume is defined as, “the number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an entire market during a given period of time.” What this means is that each time a person sells or buys shares of a stock, that is considered volume.
Tallying volume is done by the market exchanges and reported via every major financial website. To tally volume, simply add the traded shares for each order on the fly. For example:
Trader 1 Buys 100 shares of stock
Trader 2 Buy 500 shares of stock
Trader 3 Sells 1000 shares of stock
Total volume is then 1,600 shares for this sequence. Again volume increases regardless if it is a buy or sell order.
