Pat shows you how to use volume studies in your decision-making process. His discussion gives you an in-depth look at several key technical indicators and their applications, including classical volume studies, on-balance volume and their offshoots, and volume index building. He describes how he developed his Financial Volume Index, which measures a cross-section of interest-sensitive investments in both price moves and volume, and he shows you how you can use the FI as a tool to analyze the futures and fixed-income markets.
Finally, Pat teaches you how to develop your own "customized" volume index, whether you trade financials or equities. He guides you through the development process and provides you with valuable insights on how to recognize and use the internal strengths and weaknesses the index and the investments within it represent.
