Large Trade Indicator not matching Time and Sales

All I want is to have a trade show up on my chart if it is over a certain size, like most things in sierra chart this seems extremely difficult.

First picture.
If I set the threshold to 10 I get a max size of 84.
Second picture.
If I set the threshold to 20 I get a max size of 41.

I do not want random orders to be combined that serves no purpose.

I want to just put 1 dot on my chart if the trade is over a certain size like how it is on the time and sales.

Is this not possible?

Since you only have a single number showing for the entire bar, that means that the 84 and 41 you are getting are because there are multiple trades in that bar that are larger than or equal to 10 and 20, respectively. The sum of those trade quantities add up to the amounts shown.

If you just want to see the maximum volume, then set the Draw Mode to Based on Max Volume Above Threshold. This will show you the largest trade at each price level.

Is there anyway to show every trade over a certain number? The first option but not combined? The only way I can see is by changing the timeframe to 1 tick, but that isn't feasible.

That is not supported. You can get separate Bid and Ask sums, but that would be the closest available.
