Many traders rely on price alone to forecast future direction, yet this is only half the picture, a two dimensional one at best. What volume does is provide a three dimensional view of the chart and what is going on behind the price action. It removes the cloak of secrecy which is used by all the insiders to hide their activity. With volume they cannot hide and as volume traders all we need to do is follow them. Buy when they buy, sell when they sell and stay out when they do – it’s that simple.
