I’m having some trouble with the chart not displaying the body of number bars when Column 1 Background Coloring Method is set to Diagonal Dominant Side. The attached image #1 shows the chart with Column 1 Background Coloring Method set to Based On Volume Percentage and #2 shows it set to Diagonal Dominant Side. Then #3 shows what happens when I set the chart background color to white – you can see the rest of the number bars are there but they’re black. Any ideas how I change them to gray (or just not black) so I can see them?

I must be missing something here. I read all that but couldn’t fix my chart.

Is the coloring scheme I described not available?

From documentation:
When using the Diagonal Dominant Side background coloring method, the Column # Background Type must be set to Background on Dominant Side.

Afraid I still don’t have the rest of the number bars (see attached). I’ve set the Bid/Ask Minimum Volume Compare Threshold to 200 to filter out the smaller volume (I’m on crude) so what you’re seeing on my chart is just those prices where the volume is in excess of 200, but you can’t see the rest of each bar i.e. you can’t see the highs and lows.

This configuration makes no sense.

This is exactly what you are going to get based upon the settings being used. We do not understand the purpose of doing this. You really need to set Column 1 Numbers Bars Text to something other than None.
