Thanks Canaussieuck. Not quite what I'm looking for. Looking more for a site where say ASX or one of the trading sites eg Etrade or Comsec that provide an end of day volumes, but not a total of all trades.
Wanting just the volume of sellers and buyers, is there even anyone that provides that for a fee or free I'm not fussy?

Thanks The Cat and his pillar

Comsec's Protrader2 platform gives a trade analysis if that's what you're after.
For example, today XYZ Co. today traded for:

Level...Volume
1.20 145000
1.21 3456
1.22 450000
1.23 190000
1.24 245000

and total open buying volume 1,234,000 and total open selling volume 234,000

Is that what you mean?

If so, Netquote's Equitypro also provides this info. Probably others too.

What about the course of sales info? Maybe you could get that into a spread sheet and sort it out?

 

[CATAPILLAR]

That sound more like it - Thankyou
Is it free info or is the a membership required?
Cheers

Looks good that one, The SMH site also has a similar style of thing. I like the look of that one better though.

Still not sure if that's it either. I want to know how many people have bought and how many have sold, guess ya can call me a sticky beak. I don't even know if there is that data going out to the public.

I want to know during the day and at the end of the day the volume of sellers and the volume of buyers NOT the people wanting to buy or sell BUT how many during the trading day have bought and sold. Don't want to know at what price just want to know if there are people trying to get out of a company or there is a big interest in people trying to get in. IS THIS AS CLEAR AS MUD?

Hi Catapillar,

This stuff may seem obvious to some people, but good volume analysis
is often overlooked, by many traders .....

..... if, you look at the daily PRICE ACTION and compare the VOLUME,
against the volume of previous days, then it is very quick and easy
to weigh up the buyer/seller bias.

Using bar charts or candlesticks, we can see where the market started
and finished, exactly ..... if we add volume to the analysis, we can see
that sellers outnumbered buyers, if the stock finished on its lows.

Likewise, if a stock ends the day on its highs, then the buyers have
outnumbered the sellers, on that day.

Beyond that, we can go into candle interpretations and include volume,
as a confirmation tool for our analysis ... patterns like dojis, spinning tops,
hammers, hanging man, three black crows and lots more may all use
high or low volume, as confirmation of our work .....

This stuff is really quite simple and becomes second-nature, as we
continue to learn and grow, in our TA journey.

happy days

paul

To Catipillar

Sanford Securites provides a Todays trades area, that is accessable throughout the day and at the end of the day.

Beside each trade is a SSN number, I use this to see if it's the same buyer or seller all the time, you can spot accumulation or dumping easily.

16:10 no. 374,494 price 29.5 amount 9,400 Same buyer
16:10 no. 374,493 price 29.5 amount 25,000 Same buyer

15:49 no. 354,496 29 17,500 different buyer
15:47 no. 350,715 29 5,698 different buyer

hope this helps

~~ I want to know how many people have bought and how many have sold, ~~

Notwithstanding (your enthusiasm for the last two replies) and different parcel sizes, the number of people who bought and the number who sold would always be the same, as you need one of each for every transaction.

 

[motorway]

Exactly..

the number of people who bought and the number who sold would always be the same, as you need one of each for every transaction.

hence My question

But of what ?

ie
is the volume on the chart above

buying or selling ?

What determines if it is "buying" or "selling"

Is the subsequent action........

which is determined by how many still want to Buy or sell

The question is
Did the selling overcome the buying
or did the buying overcome the selling

Who still is left standing looking for a partner to dance
with ...

It is the buying and selling above and below the last transaction that MATTER

To those who were selling on the chart above
The saying it would never go up until after you have sold is so true..

for the buyers the subsequent action...( tests)
would reveal the probability of them making some $$$$..
And how smart their buying is likely to be seen to have been..

When exploring uncharted territory

above and below the range of trading
It is about tests and responses..
buying and selling PRESURES

among other things

Or you could have a look at TradeGuider - volme spread analysis

http://www.tradeguider.com/softwaresystems/tour_software.aspx

Tech/a is into this, search his most recent thread on the Brisbane seminar maybe.

See if this helps a bit

 

[CATAPILLAR]

See if this helps a bit

I guess what I'm trying to achieve is, are there more people trying to get out of a stock or is the stock receiving big interest in the buying volumes.

I guess to some that might seem insignificant but all data helps.

I'll try and clarify for you.
Like most you rightly believe that for every seller there must be a buyer.
The point to remember is that some buyers absorb whatever sellers will sell them at a level.Normally at a bottom.
At other times some sellers absorb as much buying as is given to them at a given level.Normally at a top.

There are a number of bar types to look for.
(1) Small range bars followed by lower volume up bars,Clearly selling has been absorbed and buyers have to chase price higher to get filled.(No supply)
(2) Same as above but followed by low volume down bars (No demand) with wider range Sellers have to chase buyers to get filled.

Volume on its own is of little value.
Volume/Range and what happens prior to and directly after fills in the gaps.(Not trading gaps).

I know what your trying to find--was a sale from a seller selling into a buyer or a buyer buying into a seller.
Afraid you wont find this.
But you dont need it.

Motorway has been involved pretty obviously with Wyckoff for many years.
He specialised in the "Reading" of volume and range.
I'm a relative newcomer to VSA "Volume spread analysis" but in the time Ive been involved the way I look at a chart has been turned on its head and so to has my short term trading R/R not to mention confidence.
