I am trying to display # of sell market orders as a text on a chart. In order to display the data, I have selected two studies (hidden) on a blank chart, then used "Text Display for Study" to display the text values. The hidden studies used to extract the sell market orders data include: 1. Numbers of Trades - Bid 2. Numbers Bars Calculated Values -> Bid Volume Total The chart is set to start at 6:30am (the pacific time market open). My question: Why do these 2 studies show different values? (see the image: 166657 vs 221426) As of my understanding, both studies should show the same data which is the numbers of orders executed at the bid (= sell market orders) Did I misunderstand something? Thanks |

These are two different things. One is the number of trades at the bid and the other is the quantity traded at the bid. Not all trades are of a quantity of 1, therefore you will have a larger quantity than the number of trades.
