I am building a multivariate statistical model to forecast the trading volume of the S&P 500 stock based on its previous values and on other covariates. Being new to finance, I am having problems selecting the appropriate exogenous regressors. So far, I am thinking of including daily returns to the model, as they tend to correlate with trading volume. Aside from that what could be other (ideally stationary) series that could help improve model accuracy?
