Is there a Runescape Grand Exchange feature which shows the Volume in which items are traded?

Question

I'm looking for something that could tell me how much of an item is traded, rather than just the price. This is useful to me for figuring out which items to buy/make/harvest. Basically, I'd like to avoid the problem I keep having of finding something worth more than the material cost, but never sell (for example, making prayer urns). I should also mention that I'm a free to play member, though I'm not sure if that matters at all.

Currently, I'm looking at the price fluctuations of an item over the past 30 days, and making the assumption that items which fluctuate more wildly are bought in higher volume than those which aren't. However, this is not always accurate.

As an example, I'm looking for something where I could type in "Bronze Bar" and be told, for example, "246 Bronze Bars were bought yesterday. 3,021 have been bought in the past week. 11,204 have been bought in the last month."

Answer

I am fairly certain that Jagex does not release data about trade volume. None of the GE pages on the website show any of that data.

I suspect that they do not publish this data because if very rich players or clans were to get it they would be able to exercise a lot of control over the market, which would not be desirable.
