Displays large single trades passing along the feed on the chart. Such trades can serve as benchmarks in market analysis, act as levels, and also serve as signals to enter a position.
When the Big Trades indicator finds a trade with the specified parameters, it highlights it on the chart and marks it with a pattern.
Move the cursor while holding down the Ctrl key on the trades found by the indicator to see the time of the trade, the price of the trade and the number of contracts in the trade.
If the aggregation function is activated, you will see the amount of slippage next to the price. Where "+" or "-" sign is the slippage direction within the aggregation, and the digit after the sign is the number of points by which the price slipped either up or down within the aggregated trade. If you find this indicator distracting, disable aggregation in the settings. Then, the slippage value will not be displayed.
