Hello there,

I've a question about the volume data.
Since my own broker offers not much historical data,
I'm quite dependend on third party data feeds.

And during the search in finding a suitable data feed,
I stumbled upon the different volume information.

When you export the data via JForex you'll get the volume as total volume in millions or so (contract sizes), also Tickstory does this.

I thought, that in MT4 the volume shown, is just as ticks per bar?.

Does anyone know, which data makes more sense, the tick volume or the total volume?
