Does the Volume values in MT4 really work?

 
Hello,

Just wanted to ask if the Volume values on a forex chart really work? For example, if I see a volume of 949 for a given hour candlestick , does this mean that 949 Lots have been executed at the broker during that hour? Are you sure this value really works? I would have thought that the broker would want to keep the volumes executed confidential?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think so. In MetaTrader or all the others the valume does not exist!
 
The Volume of a bar is no more than the number of received ticks for that bar.
