Hello Support team, Large Volume Trade Indicator Referencing the Large Volume Trade Indicator from the link above, it says: "In order to obtain an alert when a bar has a Large Volume Trade, enter the following for the Alert Condition in the Alerts tab for this study: SG1 > 0 When a Large Volume Trade is indicated, Subgraph 1 for the Max Trade Volume per Bar is set to the Maximum Trade Volume for that bar. Otherwise it is 0." That's true and it works, but the issue is that it only gives 1 sound alert per bar even though there could be 2 or more Large Volume Trades for that bar ("Alert Only Once per Bar" is not checked). The value of the Subgraph 1 changes and the subsequent markers show up, but not the subsequent sounds until a new bar is forming again. I tried to code it myself, but I couldn't get my custom "Large Volume Trade Indicator" to match that of Sierra's - in terms of detecting the large trades. The code is using data from the Times & Sales window - derived from the same chart number. The "Combine Trades into Original Summary Trade (Data Feed and Exchange Specific)" under Chart Data is set to "No". So I set to "Do Not Combine" for the Times and Sales too. But I don't get the same results - when there's a Large Volume Trade detected by Sierra's Large Volume Trade Indicator, Times & Sales (the window) might not see the same thing (I set it to filer trades >= 80 for both Times & Sales and Large Volume Trade Indicator) and my custom indicator also might not see the same thing either. So I am wondering if Sierra could... 1 - Enhance this study by making it play a sound each time when there's a large trade over the specified threshold - even within the same bar? Something similar to the Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 . It takes an input for the Alert Number and it will play the alert as many times as the condition is true - even within the same bar. 2 - Add 2 subgraphs - one to contain the price of the Large Trade at "bid" and the other one at "ask". The markers are showing up, so I think the data is there. We just need subgraphs (SG5 and SG6 for example) to access those values and the types of trade (at Bid or at Ask). Or please let me know the exact technical details on how Sierra's Large Volume Trade Indicator detects those Large Volume Trades and their types so that I could try to code it myself again. Thank you for your time. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-10-15 13:40:36
