Post subject:  tick based data

Hello,

I downloaded the tick data for EURCHF for the 15.01.2015 (the meltdown day) with a view to analysing it. However, I don't understand what the columns askvolume or bidvolume are telling me.

If I take one particular example:
Gmt time Ask Bid AskVolume BidVolume
15.01.2015 09:30:18.656 1.20102 1.20095 1.25 1.17

What do 1.25 and 1.17 represent? Lots sizes transacted on for that period? Number of transactions made (x100) for that period? Or something else I've not thought about. I've looked for documentation on your site but haven't been able to find any.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew

Volume in jforex represents the sum of liquidity per period in best bid and ask sides. It is NOT actual transaction.
