[User Discussion] - Relative Volume - Days to load

Good afternoon,

Depending on how many "Days to load" (In Chart settings), my average cumulative volume is different.

As you can see in the attached picture, I'm using a "period-Days to include" of 30 days, and a "minimum required data for Day as percentage" of 75% (I want only normal days on ES, no week-ends, no holidays).

From my understanding, using that 75% would remove week-ends and holidays and with the 30 day period, it should give me an average 19-21 days (30 days - week-ends - holidays).

I did some testing by changing the "Days to load" in the Chart settings and here are the results that I got. (Chart settings are also on "Volume based rollover, back adjusted)
50 days: 941k
75 days: 848k
100 days 817k
200 days: 845k
300 days: 849k
400 days: 847k

1) I thought that the 50 days to load was enough to cover my 30 day period
2) I also thought that above a certain amount of days to load, the result of the average volume would have been the same.

What am I not understanding?

Thank you,

The chart absolutely will need to load a minimum of 60 days. Otherwise, the calculations are not going to be accurate.

Also it is not within the scope of our support to analyze this specific case since there are so many unknowns from our perspective, based on the given information. And we do not provide this kind of analysis.
