I tried searching on sierrachart.com and google but didn't find the answer. I'm seeing an issue where certain symbols may have a volume profile display issue and it's stuck @ the bottom of the chart. A quick way I found to fix the problem is change the time frame or toggle the Full/evening session. I have Interactive Brokers for data. Am I doing something wrong? I tried the "delete and download" option too but it didn't help. Thanks.

Thank you for the reply. Here's the screenshot of the issue. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1451934488534.png If I change the bar period, it will fix it - http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1451934546564.png |

When I compare the volume with another platform, I see a slight difference but not by much so not sure if my volume profile problem is the same as the link provided. If I uncheck "Allow support for Sierra chart Data Feeds" then I definitely see much lower volume. For some reason even when I change "Volume/Open Interest Multiplier" to 100, it won't stick. I go back to Chart >> Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings 2 and it automatically put itself back to 1. The issue is not a huge problem since I just have to hit a button to fix it so I'm not going to worry about it for now. Perhaps I will subscribe to the Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed in the future and see if that will resolve the issue. Thanks again for your help.

When you set the Volume multiplier to 100, does it remain until you change the symbol of the chart? It should.

You're right. Volume/Open Interest Multiplier only change itself back when I switch symbol. My volume profile issue doesn't occur unless I change to another symbol and then change it back. So I was switching back and forth to replicate the issue. If there's something else I can send in to troubleshoot this, please let me know. If I'm the only one with this problem then I think I can live with it. All I have to do is change the bar period and it's fine until I change to another symbol. Thanks again!

You can change the Volume Multiplier to 100 for the stock symbol patterns, in the Global Symbol Settings: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_GlobalSymbolSettings.php Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I trade many different stocks so this method will be a lot of work. Is there a global setting to automatically multiple volume by 100? Thanks!

You just need to set the Volume Multiplier to 100 for the stock symbol patterns, in the Global Symbol Settings: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_GlobalSymbolSettings.php There should only be about five patterns you have to set this on.
