Index Volume calculation

Since an index itself is not directly traded, it does not have its own traded volume. FYERS calculates index Volume using the traded volumes of the stocks that make up the index for the selected chart interval.

For example, on a 1-minute NIFTY 50 chart, the traded volumes of all NIFTY 50 constituent stocks during that minute are added together. The resulting value is displayed as the Volume for that index candle.

The Volume shown on an index chart is therefore a calculated value based on its constituent stocks. It is not the trading volume of index futures or other derivatives.

For a detailed explanation, refer to How is the volume for indices calculated in FYERS?

Volume-based indicators

The calculated index Volume can be used with volume-based tools such as:

• VWAP
• Anchored VWAP
• Volume Profile

These tools use the calculated Volume of the index constituents and not the Volume of index futures.
