Investing with Volume Analysis: Identify, Follow, and Profit from Trends

Investing with Volume Analysis by Buff Pelz Dormeier introduces traders and investors to one of the most underutilized yet powerful aspects of technical analysis: volume. While price reveals what is happening in the market, volume shows the conviction behind those moves. Dormeier demonstrates how analyzing the relationship between price and volume can uncover hidden trends, confirm breakouts, and expose false signals.

The book blends theory with practice, guiding readers through the principles of volume analysis, including the use of volume indicators, relative strength, and money flow tools. Dormeier emphasizes how volume analysis can be integrated into broader trading strategies to improve timing and profitability.

Beyond simple technical tools, this book also explores the psychological and behavioral aspects reflected in volume data—helping traders understand when institutional money is driving moves versus when retail sentiment is at play. Real-world examples and charts illustrate how volume serves as the fuel behind market trends.

By the end, readers gain not only a deeper understanding of market dynamics but also a concrete set of tools to apply volume analysis in everyday trading.
