Hi, when I extend POC and value area I can give them a name in Subgraph Settings (POC and Value area Outline). Sometimes it shows me the names in Chart window, but mostly not. I dont know why, i think it's a bug. Can you look at this, it's very annoying. Thanks

My settings are all ok. As I said, sometime it shows the names, and sometimes not.

We do not need screenshots. We will not look at those.

There definitely is no bug here. Provide that particular chart by following these instructions:

We now realize what the problem is. The documentation was not accurate about what Subgraph to set the Name and Value labels on. It needs to be in this case: Value Area and Outline (SG9)

Yes, I found out that already, that at "Value Area and Outline" needs to be set the name.

So you dont look at screenshots, It would be better you do, because I prepared marks on them to show you what i mean, but now i send you the chartbook. At the end of chart every line of POC and VA has a name, but when you scroll back to date 3-abril-2019 f.e. there is missing the name of POC and VA between price 2873 and 2885.

What you are seeing is the correct functioning for when you use the option Extend Until Future Intersection. The only Labels that will display are for those Extension Lines that extend all the way to the end of the chart. This is discussed to some extent in item 9 of the documentation here:
Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Name and Value Labels

But for Extension lines, setting the Always Show Name and Value Labels When Enabled does not have an impact. Therefore this is just the way it works.

We will work on updating the documentation for the Volume by Price study to make this more obvious for the Extend Until Future Intersection option.
