I have recently checked out this book "the complete guide to volume price analysis". There were so many red flags I found before reading that. In the end, I find the book disgusting and useless. I need a few books on volume analysis, especially if it's volume price analysis. For some reason, google search keeps on returning the same book I mentioned above so they're harder to find. So..any suggestions/recommendations? Please don't recommend beginner books like above one.
You have vertical volume and horisontal volume. If you want to use it, best suggestion is to analyze it yourself, make your own hypothesis and test them. I hardly use volume, but it complements my method in small ways. More important than volume is how price is developing. For short-term, how price is reacting, but often an unfortunate side-effect is introducing instability and noise. A good start to get ideas is to research Market Auction Theory on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=market+auction+theory Good to learn ideas from others, but make your own methods and test them.
I worked with this like ten years ago, after several months, I literally throw my hands up and tossed everything I read and just went one bar at a time to develop my own ideas of volume. Below might help you. http://www.annacoulling.com/about/ file:///C:/Users/Jim/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/IE/ATP3YE97/Volume-Price-Indicator-Description1.pdf There is nothing complete, is there?
