Hi there,
I'm trying to plot an instrument on my charts that has volume data for the Nasdaq 100 Index (^NDX). Since I was told that index instruments do not have volume information, can anyone please suggest a similar instrument that allows me to obtain volume data for ^NDX? I need volume data in order to plot a cumulative delta indicator. Thanks in advance for your help. |

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your response. I actually need to volume from the actual Nasdaq 100 Index. Is there any instrument that can perhaps approximate the volume of the NDX? In the attached screenshot, approximately 1 million to 2 million trades are placed every 1 minute. Which instruments would allow me to use Nasdaq 100 Index volume data to plot cumulative delta on my charts? File Attached: Nasdaq 100 Index Volume per 1 Minute.jpg (downloaded 425 times) |

In that case, try VI5T.Z, which is the NASDAQ 100 ISSUES VOLUME TOTAL. This DTN market stat is a daily total that updates every second. If you are looking for the volume over a specific timeframe, note that you'll need to take the difference between tick or minute bars.

Thanks for responding, Mark.
I tried adding VI5T.Z, which plots without any issues, but I'm unable to use it with the cumulative delta that I have. When troubleshooting using a simple Buy/Sell Volume indicator, which is supposed to plot whether each 5 second bar has dominant buy volume or dominant sell volume, that failed to plot any data too. Perhaps you have other ideas on which other instruments might work? Thanks. |

As mentioned earlier in the thread, your best bet is to subscribe to the future. It will provide you price and volume, and when you use the price against bid/ask, you can derive your own buy/sell volume indicator.
It will be your best representation of actual real time market condition, and would be part of your trade entry/exit. |
