The majority of traders on U.S. stock exchanges (95%+) are individual traders.

Absolutely need a source for that one. Sounds wrong on both volume of $ and volume of trades.

    That's because "[number of] traders" and "volume" are two different numbers. Volume wise it's probably the opposite.

    Yes but using number of traders is useless to look at which is why I used total volume or amount of trades both of which sounds wrong from Ops claim.

    Number traders does sound accurate but it's a worthless metric that doesn't tell us anything because they aren't the ones doing the trading.
