Can someone point me in the right direction on how to achieve changing volume at price mult from the shortcut menu when right-clicking on the chart so im able to go from a 3 mult to a 10 mult by right-clicking my mouse on the footprint charts?

There is no built-in way to use the shortcut menu to change the Volume at Price Multiplier for a chart. If you really want to have this on the Shortcut menu, then you would have to program it using ACSIL. Refer to the information starting here:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Introduction

We are not sure if this is what you are looking for, but on the Numbers Bars study itself there is a "Volume Display Multiplier" that allows you to change how many digits are displayed for the numbers. Refer to the following:
Numbers Bars: Volume Display Multiplier

If you are willing to use a keyboard macro program. I use AutoHotKey. It will can create macros that involve keyboard, mouse movement, mouse location, active window and many other things. There are other out there as well that are similar, but this is the only one I am familiar with.

Hope this helps,

I do not know what function you would call specifically. If you chose to use my suggestion, the AHK macro, would just emulate the pressing of keys and mouse movement/location and clicks.

I didn't want to use a third-party software for something that is doable in the desired software. I found the function that allows you to change the volume at price mult.

its sc.VolumeAtPriceMultiplier

Thanks, John for the help!
