is it possible to show volume bars in the chart dom?
the dom has volume bars, i would like to get the chart dom to include volume bars too
this will allow me to eliminate the dom

Yes of course. Just add the Volume by Price study to the chart:

Thank you for the quick and concise reply.
Following the recommendation placed the VbP lines on the chart, based on the chart.
I wish to have the bars to right, outside the chart proper.
I wish to have the bars associated to the Chart DOM, to the right of the chart proper, where the Chart DOM is located.
I wish to have the Chart DOM (to the right of the chart proper) include the trade volume bars, as does the DOM proper.
Please see attached.
I understand if this is not possible.
Thank you again,
Mark

SC Engineering support may have another solution for you but the best I've been able to do is shown in the images below. You can get close to what you're asking by setting the VbP settings to right align and you'll have to reduce the length to something smaller so it doesn't overlay your entire chart (I'm using 10 in this example). Adjust the Tick Size to get a wider bar encompassing more than one tick if you want. Using the 1 tick setting will give you a volume bar for each tick but it will be very small on your chart compared to the DOM.
