Hello, first of all, the first couple of hours I have start to use the software the impact was quite strange due to the old GUI, but after two days I appreciate a lot the powerful of the software. Slim, fully customisable, full of large number of tools. I am satisfied and I am actually taking in consideration to swithc from Multicharts to Sierra. Some points I have to solve if you can help me. 1) Picture 1. On the left I want a fixed and stady state VP for the last 36 days. I set the left VP as 36 Days back (One Period at End of Fixed Time Length) but as you can see the VP covers onlu 26 days (10 less). On the multiple VP I would 1 VP each 4D so I set Multiple Profiles Based On Fixed Time, Days, 4 but as you can see I have some time 4 days, some times 3 days some times 2 days (weekends?, how I can remow them form VP?) 2) Picture 2. Especially for large workspace, it is impossible to see the different color of each line. I tried to color the border of the VP bar but if I chose for ex green both Bid and Ask portion will be green. I want only the Ask is colored by green and the Bid in red, so in this way I can stress the color of the VP for large charts. Suggestion: if it is possible to fix the stady VP on the left side of the chart and remain there when I zom and pan the chart, would be great. Many thanks Best regards Claudio Donatone Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-02-09 15:08:49

For the 36 and 12 day profiles, you need to use the Volume Graph Period Type of One Period at End of Fixed Time Length - Auto-Skip Empty Days. Refer to the information here: Volume By Price Study: One Period at End of Fixed Time Length - Auto-Skip Empty Days For the 4 day profiles, you would want to change that to use a Volume Graph Period Type of Multiple Profiles Based on Bar Count. Then determine how many bars make up the 4 days for your chart. Refer to the following: https://www.sierrachart.com/ There is not a way to fix a Volume Profile to the Left. You can have multiple profiles fixed to the right if you want. Refer to the following: Volume By Price Study: Right Aligning Volume Profiles with Space on Right Side of Chart With regards to the coloring, the main issue you have is just that the data is too much, so the bars are all overlapping. You need to increase the Ticks per Volume Bar until you find the trade-off you want between what you want to see and the underlying data.
