Futures Volume shows the number of futures contracts traded over time for the selected symbol. It helps you understand how actively the futures contract is being traded during the session.
Understanding the Futures Volume chart
The chart displays:
- Futures volume bars: Show the trading volume for each selected time interval.
- Symbol price line: Shows the price movement of the selected index or stock during the same period.
You can compare both to understand how trading activity changes as the price moves.
- Higher volume: Indicates increased futures trading activity during that interval.
- Lower volume: Indicates relatively lower trading activity.
- Volume spike: Indicates a sudden increase in futures trading activity during a particular interval.
The chart can be used along with price movement and other market data for analysis.
