I'd like to explain to you how we gather the real trading volume and how we provide it to our customers.
I'll number every sentence so that you can refer to a specific number/sentence in case of questions.

1. If you open an EURUSD BUY Trade with 0.2 lot, your broker has to take the counter position of 0.2 lot EURUSD SELL
2. If your broker just routes your order to the liquidity pool, there is an institution playing the counterpart that takes this 0.2 lot EURUSD SELL

3. Via our data provider, we get the information that there is a 0.2 lot EURUSD BUY Trade running. It's anonymous, but we know it's an open live trading position.
4. We get and summarize all this trading information from many users, many brokers, and tons of trades - all centralized and anonymous from our data provider

5. Now we see how the crowd of retail traders is positioned for EURUSD. Do they buy, sell, or is it balanced?
6. This allows us to analyze if their judgement is right. Does the EU price go up when most retail traders, like you, have EURUSD BUY positions running.

7. Unfortunately, they are seldom right. In the utmost cases, the prices move in the exact opposite direction.
8. Maybe because the big boys of the counterpart side (point 1 and 2) know exactly where the retailers stand. So, it's easy for them to squeeze the retailers out.

9. Because of point 7, we analyze where the retailers stand and display it from the opposite side, the big boys' perspective.
10. If the retail crowd is 80% bullish (BUY) for the EUR, we display the EUR 80% bearish (SELL) in FX Volume because that's how the big boys see it because they hold the counter bet. And that's why FX Volume is so outstanding precise.

I hope this helps to get a better understanding, and please ask if there are questions left.

Most of us use a VPS to run our trading EA's 24/7, but how to monitor if these terminals are up and running? What if they crash, or shut-down due to an update? How do I get notified about that? That's where our Heartbeat Monitoring comes into play. It provides you a 24/7 monitoring for all your terminals & VPS. So, what do we need for that? 1.

This utility EA is intended to download all historical data from your broker at once. Once dropped on a chart (it can be any chart), you will chose the symbols and timeframes to process in the inputs. Then all is automated. It can takes some time and what is done will be display on the Experts log. Of course it can only download data really available on the broker server. The process is depending of the MT4 "Charts" settings "Max bars in History" and "Max bars in Chart", if you want to be sure
