Post From: Large Volume Trade Indicator

I have no idea who the person is that asked about the transparency above.

I've looked through this indicator. I understand the coloring system. What I do not understand is what causes the size of the circles. I've read through this 10 times and it is still not clear. I've included a screen shot for your reference. I use blue for ask and red for bid. I've labeled 4 of the circles 1-4. My settings are
Volume Threshold:1
Circle based on total volume
Automatic Indicator Size: Yes

Here are the values for the 4 circles:
1: 520x865 = 1385 Total Volume (Smallest circle)
2: 1372x1126 = 2498 Total Volume (2nd smallest)
3: 571x1110 = 1681 Total Volume (3rd Smallest)
4: 1020x1026 = 2046 Total Volume (largest)

The documentation says that the circles are based on total volume. #2 has the largest volume of the 4 but it's the 2nd largest circle. #3 is the largest circle but has the 3rd highest volume. So my question is what determines the size of the circles????

The only thing I can think of is that it says something along the lines of number of trades. Would this mean that 4, 50 lot trades would have a smaller circle than 200, 1 lot trades? Please advise. Thank you.
