easy · Volume Price Analysis
Why is 'Relative Volume' important when comparing AAPL (Apple) to a small-cap stock?
- Small-cap issues are tracked using tick volume, while AAPL reports share volume.
- VPA is only a genuinely reliable method when applied to highly liquid, large-cap stocks.
- Absolute volume numbers vary by instrument; only comparison to self-history matters.
- AAPL's reported daily volume figures are heavily distorted by hidden dark pool trading activity.
