Combine Records with Same Time and Price for Large Volume Trade Indicator?

Hello,

I was wondering if the Large Volume Trade Indicator study could be modified to include a calculation option that would show a subgraph (and text) when the combined volume of trades at the same time and price are over a certain threshold. Currently, you can flag the highest volume trade over a threshold or the total of all the trades that were over the threshold, but there is no setting to total the volume at the same time and price.

When I watch the time and sales window I use the "same time and price" filtering option and it helps my trading a lot. If I could plot these high levels on the chart it would be extremely valuable to me.

Thanks for your time!

If I were to try to make this with ACSIL would I just be doing calculations on sc.BidVolume[] and sc.AskVolume[]?

I am a little confused on how to go about this because I am used to referencing values per bar, not per trade record.

How do i reference volume at a specific time? I know about referencing a bar with sc.ArraySize - x, but that wouldn't work here.

Could you maybe provide a small code example to get me started on this?

Thanks!

The closest that is available to do what you want is to enable this option for the chart:
Chart Settings: Combine Trades into Original Summary Trade (Data Feed and Exchange Specific) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data >> Chart Data menu)

In regards to implementing something like this with ACSIL, this section here contains some information about accessing the individual trades:

Thank you! I think it would have taken me a long time to find that.
