ok, here is my graph #2 when I don't use the filter exclude <=4

I made a link with a study price overlay to have the same information on my graph #1

in this case it works very well.

now here is what my graph#2 gives when I activate the filter exclude <=4

and here is what it looks like on my graph#1

This filter is used to see only orders greater than 5 contracts placed in one go, they appear at the top of the bars.

When I put my 2 graphs in tick reversal, in 1 minute it works very well.

When I put in candles 100 vol, it does not work anymore, whereas it worked very well some time ago


We are very confused as to what exactly you are doing - as you can not use the Study/Price Overlay to overlay the Numbers Bars study. So we are not sure what the relation is between Chart #2 and Chart #1.

But, the one thing we can say is that when you filter out trades that are less than or equal to 4 (<=4) then we are not surprised that you are seeing zeros for all the entries. Keep in mind that the Numbers Bars shows the total volume traded at a particular price point. Therefore when you see a value of 5, it does not mean there was a single trade with a quantity of 5, it means that all the trades at the price and time added up to a total of 5. Most likely is that there were 5 trades of 1 each.

If you are wanting to see specific large trades, then we recommend using the Large Volume Trade Indicator instead of filtering the Numbers Bars. Refer to the following:
