I'm trying to understand the Volume Threshold input in the subject indicator, before starting to use it.

Here's a number bar that I have as a real example :

91 x 138
131 x 200
128 x 142
154 x 193
165 x 129
168 x 245
127 x 70
67 x 47
62 x 7

When Volume Threashold is set at 2 based on Total Ask or Bid Volume above Threshold, I see the following result in Draw Volume Text:

101
152
112
145
11
168
73
44
38

I simply don't understand how the volume threshold input derives to throse numbers.

Can you assist ?

Best regards,

The Large Volume Trade Indicator gives the Maximum or Sum (depending on what was selected) of the trades that are above the threshold.

For the situation you describe, this means that for any trade that occurred at either the Bid or the Ask with a quantity greater than 2, then those trades are all added together to give you the resulting number. Specifically then, for the top level, the total of all trades with a quantity greater than 2 is 101 and the remaining volume of 28 were traded at a quantity of 1.

Did you mean 128 instead of 28 ?

We meant 28. 101 + 28 = 138.

The remaining quantity of 28 trades done at the highest price you show were all traded with a quantity of 1. So 28 trades each with a quantity of 1.
