Hi, I have read the documentation quite a bit, and I can't find how to have the Value Area one color and outside the Value Area another color? (Please see attachment). Thanks |

The Volume by Price study colors settings are controlled through the Subgraphs tab: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/VolumeByPrice.php#Color But we are not really understanding the question because clearly the attachment shows just what you want.

Hi, I understand that color settings are controlled through the Subgraph tab, but I'm really confused on how to set one color for the Value area, and another color for outside the value area. The attachment is not from my chart, but from something I saw online. Thank you, Date Time Of Last Edit: 2016-08-14 22:34:15

Thank you for getting back with me, it helped a lot. I have the fill color set to gray, but I'm still getting dark red as part of the bar. Can you tell me how to set the color to just gray? Also, I can't figure out how to set the bar color, for the bars that are outside the Value Area to a different color? One last thing... after making the changes you'll see on the attachment, I save it to be the default, and I added it to another chart, and it went back to the original settings.

Hi, I think need to set the "Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method" to "None". That will get rid of the dark red part of the bar |

Thanks, that worked good, getting rid of the red. How do I make the bars that are outside the value area a different color? |

I already have it set to Yes. Thanks |

As has been previously said you need to do this: For the volume bars to be colored the Value Area color, it is necessary to set the Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method to None.

This is how I have this set, to None. I want the area that is outside the Value Area a different color. I don't see a way to accomplish this, unless I'm messing something. Thanks |

Eg Put "blue" in both boxes for "Volume Bars Outline and Fill Colors" And put "orange" in both boxes for "Value Area and Outline" Then they will be different |

The answer given in post #14 is correct. It is referring to the Subgraphs tab of the Study Settings window: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ChartStudies.html#SubgraphsTab Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Thanks Acro, but this is what I get when set it that way. It does not make the bars outside the Value Area Orange, just the VAL lines.

Are you aware that you have set Highlight Value Area High and Low Only to Yes? To do what you want you need to set both the primary and secondary colors for this Subgraph to orange: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/VolumeByPrice.php#VolumeBarsOutlineFillColorsSubgraph Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I too like this author am having a real difficult time finding how to have the Value Area one colour and outside the Value Area another colour Here's what Ive done so far - please also see attached and numbered screenshots: 1 - I have 'Highlight Value Area' set to yes 2 - I have 'Highlight Value Area high and low only' set to yes 3 - In Subgraphs I think I have "Bid Volume and Ask Volume" colouring set to "None", or rather "Ignore" 4 - These are my general subgraph settings 5 - please see my attached end result Are you able to further instruct me to know what I'm missing. Ive read the pages of documentation posted above, read and applied everything in this thread so any specific and direct instruction would be really helpful. Many Thanks |

Yes that solved it. Was looking at Bid and Ask Volume in the Subgraphs section instead of Settings and Inputs. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Much appreciate it
