I should have said, most banks/brokers/dealers do not report volume in their datafeed.

try currency futures if you want to see volume activity.
some traders use future volume as a proxy.

Also, some charting programs accumulate tick data (number of price changes) as a representation for FX volume. This synthetic volume can then used for volume studies.
