Post From: What is Large Volume Trade Indicator basing trade size on?

I've been over the documentation where it states that size is based on a "Volume Threshold": Volume Threshold: This Input specifies the volume that a trade needs to be greater than or equal to for it to be considered a large volume trade and have a marker displayed for it at the chart bar and price level where the trade occurred. Question: When it comes to "the volume that a trade needs to be", is this based on a matched market order across the spread of that particular size, or is it based on a market order matched against any combination of liquidity across the spread (1, lots, 6 lots, 10 lots, etc.)? Also, I read in another thread on this study (from 2017) that functionality would be added that allowed for combining trades. I assume this meant combining trades at the same price/time to determine size - which is something that is available via Time and Sales. I do not see any such functionality in the current Large Volume Trade Indicator study. Can this still be added? Allowing this study to determine large trades by using "same price/time" the same way Time and Sales does gives a very reliable representation of large order sizes being executed (at least for Futures).
