How much volume of trades has gone through today? And is this important information to investors? Well, let's take a look at today, from 8am - 11am UK time just for Imaginatik.

Summary:
Market Total Volume Total Value
Total 128,337 £12,265
Plus 78,337 £7,405
LSE 50,000 £4,860

And today this is a very fair day - since 28 Aug, 90% of the total traded volume of our shares has been reported on Plus.

According to the Plus Markets web site (where trades are only 25p for brokers - they pocket the margin):
