For every candlestick on any timeframe, there is a corresponding number of ticks that formed it. On Forex charts, this is displayed as volume, though it doesn't directly relate to real trade volumes. However, tick volume data can be used similarly to real volume data.
Information about ticks prior to indicator attachment is sourced from a special tick file. If historical data rendering is not required, indicator values will appear in real-time, provided new ticks are arriving.

About the ClusterBox_DayHistogram Indicator

This is a variation of the ClusterBox indicator. The key difference is its fixed data collection interval. Unlike the ClusterBox indicator, which displays tick volumes by clusters for a user-defined history range, the ClusterBox_DayHistogram indicator uses a 24-hour period as the interval. This method allows for viewing price concentration levels for each day distinctly.

To see the precise numerical value of the tick amount corresponding to a cluster, hover your mouse cursor over the desired line. Information about the price cluster and its tick volume will appear in a tooltip.
