I was wondering if you could point me to some information about how to interpret volume in equity trading, like how to spot accumulation/distribution by institutions, etc. It seems the interpretation of volume is somewhat subjective, and it doesn't always make sense to me. I'd like to be able to properly interpret volume on all my trades, and something I saw today made me scratch my head and finally ask (perhaps you'd like to take a stab at it). I was looking at EWC, an etf specializing in canadian holdings. I was puzzled because there was HUGE volume (more than 4x average) with very little price change. Furthermore, the underlying holdings of the etf all had average volume (the top 5, anyway, which are 25% of the etf). I would expect the volume of the etf to be similar to that of its holdings, so I'm not sure what was going on there. Any ideas? Thanks, Jason Hi Chris,
