Herman,

Do you know what I'm referring to?  Everyone knows what a tick chart 
is.  Each price bar represents a fixed number of transactions, 
regardless of the size of each transaction.   With a volume chart, 
on, say, the ES (the e-mini S&P Futures contract), each price bar 
represent a fixed number of contracts traded.   A 2500v chart on the 
ES would have each price bar represent 2500 contracts transacted.  

You'll find these charts to be very smooth and quite tradeable.  All 
of your standard indicators will work on them to give you signals to 
take a traded.  The volume information is "built in" to these 
charts.  The speed at which the bars move lets you know that.
