Volume bar strangeness

Recommended Posts

  Just noticed something odd, using volume bars

  Symbol WORX  , traded 100 million shares yesterday , and 18 million today

  The relative size of the displayed bars looked wrong to me using a low volume bar count , and the proper horizontal ratio doesn't look right until you go to 100,000 per bar

  I cleared and backfilled so the data is clean

 I wouldn't have thought the bar size  mattered that much , but it seems to , and gives a distorted view on high volume stocks.

Here's a screenshot 

 

10,000 share bars.  Volume today 18mm , yesterday 100mm but only twice the width (transparent rectangles)

at 100,000 bars, the proportion is much closer to reality
