Technical
The metric requires trade eligibility, price and quantity units, currency conversion, venue coverage, corrections, corporate-action policy, zero and missing days, window, and point-in-time cutoff.
Scope
It is not the same as share volume and does not directly measure market depth or price impact.

|---|---|---|
