In so doing, the daily data of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange of a period of ۷ years were used (from March ۲۰۰۶ to April ۲۰۱۲). This study focuses on the ability of predicting stock returns by the measures of trading volume. The SPSS software, and the minimum standard deviation of the average square of variables (probit analysis) were employed and the results indicate that the measures of volume (trading volume, delayed volume, volume change, and delayed volume change) are not appropriate to predict the stock returns of any of the companies.
