Average Daily Trading Volume

Trading Term

The average amount of individual securities traded in a single day or over a specified amount of time. Average Daily Trading Volume is equal to the number of shares traded over a specified time period divided by the number of trading sessions in that period. Trading activity is related to a security’s liquidity. When the average daily trading volume of a security is high, it can be easily traded and has high liquidity. Therefore, average daily trading volume can effect the price of the security. If trading volume low, the security will likely be less expensive because fewer people are willing to buy it.
