📘 Post 7: Delivery Volume vs Traded Volume – Why It Matters for Swing Traders

Most traders only look at price and total volume — but miss the crucial clue hidden in Delivery %. 🔹 Traded Volume = Total shares bought & sold during the day 🔹 Delivery Volume = Shares actually taken into Demat (not squared off intraday) 🔹 Delivery % = (Delivery Volume / Traded Volume) × 100 ✅ High delivery % (above 50%) with rising price = Strong positional buying ✅ Low delivery % with big move = Possible operator play or intraday speculation 📌 Example: Stock ABC rose 6% with volume of 10L and delivery % of 65%. That’s not just a trade – that’s serious buying. But if Stock XYZ rose 7% with volume 20L and delivery % just 18%, be cautious. It could be a pump & dump move. 🧠 Pro Tip: Always check delivery % near support, breakout zones, or after major news. It shows whether investors are confident to hold.
