Volume is the total dollar value of trades an automation executed. Buy volume and sell volume split that activity by side.
Simple example
Over 30 days an automation:
- Buys $45,000 of BTCUSDT (buy volume)
- Sells $44,200 (sell volume)
- Total volume ≈ $89,200 (sum of trade values)
Why it matters
- Activity level — high volume means more trades (watch total costs)
- Balance — buy vs. sell volume shows whether the bot is net accumulating or distributing
- Liquidity — pair volume on Explore Markets should support your size
