Hello Support team, The Candle Price Volume Bars are overlapping, irrespective of the "Price Volume Bars Width%" I set under Graphics Settings. So when volume is high it's difficult to see the open and close of a bar because another one is overlapping it. Is there a way to prevent this overlapping? Thanks! |

Does "Price Volume Bars Width%" have any effect upon them? If not, make sure you are setting this on the correct Graphics Settings window: Graphics Settings: Introduction Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Yes, the Graphics Settings window is set up correctly. What's happening is that when the volume is too big, the candlestick overlaps the previous candle (see attached chart image). https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1658944937721.png |

If you are changing the Price Volume Bars Width % and it is not changing the widths of the Price Volume bars, then you must be using the wrong Graphics Settings Window. Keep in mind, there are Global Graphics Settings and there are Chart Graphics Settings. The determination of which one is used is by the setting in the Graphics Settings - Chart for Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of these Settings. Refer to the information here: Graphics Settings: Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings A value of 125 in the Price Volume Bars Width %, which is the default, should not give the kind of overlap you are seeing, and should give nearly no overlap at all.
