OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Truncate Volume Spikes
Truncates or caps the height of the volume bar. Many times, there is a day where the volume eclipses the recent volume and makes the rest of the volume compressed and difficult to see.
This script cuts off the volume at a user defined multiple of average daily volume and places a label above and to the left showing the true volume.
My one gripe is that it doesn't yet handle overlapping labels. At some point, I will see if I can fix that.
