John,
With regards to the Large Volume Trade study and bubble transparency, I recognize the documentation states that "it is not supported to display text with this study and at the same time have transparent circles or rectangles", but is this just the way it was originally created or does the coding not allow for it? I'd like to use this on a candlestick chart, but the opaque background w/text covers too much of the price action.

Attached is an example I found online where they were able to accomplish the transparency w/text (unfortunately it's a custom study they are charging for).

Adding two copies of LVTI works for me to achieve the same outcome, just make sure volume threshold is same on both.
One copy displays bubbles only, other copy text only, no need to pay for custom.

That worked! Thank you.

For some reason I didn't think you could use two LVT studies (must've mixed it up with another study that said that).

Yes, it says that in the docs, but think that relates particularly to setting different volume thresholds.
