Trying to figure out if we can put a large trade size alert/indicator on a chart (currently a numbers bars chart) so that any trade > a certain size can be noted or segregated. I see that we can put an alert on the time and sales chart, but no where else. Please advise how to do this or if there is a study to cover this.
Thanks!

I looked at those and it seems like those studies only show the bid size and ask size - not the size of actual trades that are executed at the bid and ask. I'm trying to set an alert so that if an extraordinarily large trade (number of shares/volume) gets executed I would see it on a chart.

In this particular case you would want to therefore use a dedicated chart that is set to the Volume Filtering that you require:

The chart will then only show trades over a certain volume.

You can then set any kind of alerts you want on that chart:
