• TRADING VOLUME
  
  Trading volume is a measure of the number of stocks, bonds, futures contracts, options, or other investments that are sold in a specific period of time, such as a day. The volume of trades is often linked to volatility in the market, since as more investors buy and sell, prices are apt to rise and fall more rapidly. The financial media regularly report the trading volume in different markets.
