*Note! When setup for the first time, the indicator has the settings by default, and those settings are not suitable for all instruments and time-frames, thus it has to be attuned.

To add and setup the following indicator, open the Indicators Setup window.

Calculation.

Min/Max Print Volume – filter of volumes of certain ticks, belonging to the chain.

Min/Max Cumulative Volume – filter of the cumulative volume of the whole chain of ticks.

Search prints inside time filter – turn on/off the option. If the option is enabled, the ticks chain should be inside the indicated time interval.

For example, if the value is 1000, it means, that the time between the first print of the chain and the last print of the chain should not be higher than 1000 milliseconds.

If the mode is disabled, the time between the neighboring ticks should not be higher than the given time filter.

For example, if the value is 1000 and the chain contains 3 ticks, the time between each tick and its “neighbor” should not exceed 1000 milliseconds.

Time Filter – manual setup for the time filter.
