Large volume trade indicator

I am experiencing an issue with the Large Volume Trade Indicator study.

On historical bars (previous days), the study correctly displays the volume bubbles.
However, on the current day’s real-time chart, the bubbles do not appear at all.

As a test, I also tried setting Volume Threshold (In:1) = 1, but the issue persists.


In Picture 2 you can see an example from previous days where the bubbles appear correctly.

Instead for the current day no bubble on charts

Could you please help me understand why the indicator is not plotting on the current day, even though it works on historical data?

Thank you.

The image you provided is showing the markers from the Large Volume Trade Indicator just fine. There is nothing showing for a current day, so we have nothing to compare to. We need to see the transition point where you are seeing the markers at one point in time and then not having them at all.

Also, we need an image taken using the following process, as the image you provided is too small and difficult to view:

Make sure your "Intraday Storage Time Unit" is set to "1 Tick". Refer to the following:
Data/Trade Service Settings: Intraday Data Storage Time Unit (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Settings)

We wonder if you changed this recently and that is causing what you are seeing.

started using this indicator two days ago and I tested it on past data without any issues.
Today would have been the first day using it on the live market.

As suggested, I switched the Intraday Data Storage Time Unit from 1 Second to 1 Tick, but I’m still experiencing the same problem:
no bubbles appear on the current day, while they display normally on all past days.

After you changed the "Intraday Storage Time Unit" to "1 Tick" did you select "File >> Reconnect"? You need to do this in order to update the feed and actually start getting the data in 1 tick increments.

You should start getting the markers showing up for the current data as it is coming in. If you want to get the data for the earlier time today, then you will need to select "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download" in order to redownload the data in the 1 tick increment.

We are not sure why your historical data prior to data is in 1 tick increments, as that is why it is showing and now is not. But once you have this worked out and the data redownloaded, you will be fine.

I’ve just returned to my PC and, before following your latest instructions, I noticed that the bubbles are now displaying correctly.
However, I’ve followed your suggestions with File>>Reconnect and Edit>> delete all data and download.

Let’s see how it behaves tomorrow.
Thanks.
