“The Trader’s Book of Volume” by Mark Leibovit is the definitive guide to mastering volume-based trading, one of the most neglected yet powerful tools in technical analysis. While most traders chase price, professionals know that volume precedes price — and this book explains exactly how and why.
Leibovit, a highly respected market timer and creator of the Volume Reversal (VR) Indicator, delivers a complete system for interpreting volume spikes, divergences, surges, dry-ups, and trends — all through real chart examples from stocks, ETFs, commodities, and futures.
More than just theory, this book includes:
- Clear explanations of volume indicators
- Case studies of volume-based trading
- Historical examples where volume predicted major market moves
- Bonus interviews with leading volume traders and technicians
You’ll learn how volume confirms or contradicts price moves, how to spot institutional activity, and how to combine volume analysis with indicators like MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, and Fibonacci tools for optimal entries and exits.
If you want to see what the crowd is doing before the headlines, this is your edge.
