# Volume
Traded volume per bar, coloured by bar direction, to judge how much participation stands behind a move.

## How to read it

- Tall bars confirm a breakout or a reversal; moves on falling volume are weaker.
- The moving average marks normal volume; bars under twice it are drawn at half strength.
- Colour follows the candle, or the previous close if you choose.

## Key settings

- Currency USD (average price OHLC4 × volume) or Coin.
- Volume MA on, length 20; highlight spikes on.
- Placement: Overlay at the bottom of the price pane (default) or Own pane.

## Good to know

- Overlay by default; switch Placement to Own pane for a separate pane.
