I often get questions from traders about trading volume. Here is a general rule of thumb I use everyday:

I personally look at the highest volume momentum stocks (those with fresh news) and from them take comparisons every 5 minutes. One also must take into account the overall market volume which changes every day. But a generalization on say a $20 stock would be for the first 5 minutes: 100K considered high volume, 50K medium volume, 10K low volume. Many of the big stocks will be at 500K in the first 5 minutes. Handling variables in the market requires more understanding and flexibility. The best is to compare with the highest volume stock and move down the ladder.
