Combine Trades with Same Price and Type (Bid/Ask)

Looks like "Combine Trades with Same Price and Type (Bid/Ask)" simply summarize past activity to show volume distribution at specific price points, which is basically Reporting vs. Execution, right?

Q: Is it possible to adjust "Combine Trades with Same Price and Type (Bid/Ask)" in DOM
Chart=>Chart Settings=>Chart Data to show Only summarized current traded activity instead of reporting past activity?

Thank you,

This Combine is really strange as it prints sometime some weird numbers that have nothing to do with
Current Traded Bids/Asks. If those numbers report past activity, than how come it keeps coming up after I totally cleared them???

Well, would anyone please make any sense of them???

Thanks

Not sure we understand this.

Although we are not sure we understand the second question.

There is this setting but it applies to chart bars only:
Chart Settings: Trades Combining Method (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data >> Chart Data menu)

We do not understand post #2. We do not know exactly what you are referring to.
