How to identify asset behin volume

[Guest Dave]

Hi all, I was wondering if there's a quick way to identify an asset behind a volume indicator? Let's say I'm trading Indices and see volume of 1000 green/red - can I trace the stock or asset behind the volume change somehow?

Hi, not a quick way no, you would need to check the volume of every component that makes up the index.
